Big Boss Yang's raid on Osaka shocked the world. Tomorrow Daily went crazy with overwhelming propaganda in Europe, bragging that it was a just lashing out against that barbaric nation. Although several tabloids also criticized his men's behavior in Osaka,
This sound was like a pebble thrown into the turbulent waves, disappearing as quickly as possible. Especially after the Emperor and the Vatican praised this behavior at the same time, Boss Yang's burning, killing and looting was determined. This is
Just burning, killing and looting.
The Japanese accused him of various crimes in Europe with blood and tears, and even gritted their teeth and used some of their already stretched funds to try to use public opinion tactics. Unfortunately, too few dared to take over their work. Everyone understands the same
As a result of the confrontation between a huge wealth empire with assets of hundreds of millions of pounds, the media that dared to speak for the Japanese before will soon have a large number of competitors with the goal of squeezing them to death. It is unclear who the manipulators behind these opponents are.
It needs to be said. So even if there is money to be made, you have to carefully consider whether the money is hot. Besides, comparing the little money of the Japanese to the Yang Group, it is a complete joke.
The helpless Japanese had no choice but to continue to beg the British, hoping that the British government could come forward to restrain Yang Feng. After all, this behavior of always disrupting the situation was seriously not in the interests of the British. The British government was indeed very annoyed at this point, but
Annoyed or annoyed, they had a hard time offending Yang Feng now. The significance of diesel engines and steam gas torpedoes had already been reflected in this war.
If the two destroyers had not held back Dongxiang and his First Guerrilla Fleet, then the outcome of the Sino-Japanese Yellow Sea War would definitely have been rewritten. In this case, the Royal Navy has regarded diesel engines as the future, and even modified one
The Sovereign-class battleship using diesel engines has also been completed. Using four diesel engines, the speed of this 15,000-ton giant ship has reached 21, surpassing all the battleships currently in service and under construction in the world.
It was left far behind, and major European newspapers even exclaimed that this battleship turned all battleships into scraps overnight.
While the British Navy was excited, they also found themselves facing a big problem. They could not imitate this kind of diesel engine. Even if Yang Power opened all the drawings to them and even sent a large number of engineers to help, they could build a diesel engine of the same size.
The power is less than one-third of the original version, and the failure rate is astonishingly high, making it not practical at all.
The engineers of Yang's Power Systems Company were helpless about this. They also told the British clearly that more than one-third of the diesel engines they manufactured were made by Boss Yang who did not know where, and the remaining parts
The other half has to rely on machine tools and materials shipped from Boss Yang who doesn't know where. Without these things, they actually can't manufacture this kind of diesel engine in Sweden.
Only then did the British realize that they had been tricked by Yang Feng. Not only the diesel engine, but also the steam gas torpedo. Their imitation could barely reach the same range and the speed was similar, but it was the hit rate and the explosion after the hit.
The efficiency is completely different from the original version. Bofors engineers also kindly told them that some parts in this thing were also directly supplied by Boss Yang.
In other words, as long as the British Navy wants to continue to equip these two things, then they must rely on Yang Feng. At least before they can actually imitate the same thing, the Royal Navy must put its neck into Yang Feng's hands and pinch him at will.
This situation is very dangerous and theoretically is absolutely not allowed to occur.
But without these things, the Royal Navy would be doomed, because at this time the Germans, French, Austrians, and even the Italians began to introduce diesel engines on a large scale, and the Germans also began to build diesel engine battleships. Even those in Northern Europe
Small countries have begun to purchase high-speed destroyers from Yang Shipyard in large quantities. Even the Ottoman Navy has ordered six such destroyers and entrusted Yang Shipyard to build two diesel-engine armored cruisers for them.
If the Royal Navy does not use diesel engines, their huge fleet will be left behind by everyone in less than five years. That would be a real nightmare! So now they must continue to maintain their friendship with Yang Feng and keep up with the future of the Royal Navy.
Compared with that, the suffering of the Japanese is not worth mentioning. The British government not only rejected the Japanese request, but also clearly told them that the best choice now is to admit defeat. Otherwise, when the German Expeditionary Force arrives, they will still be in big trouble.
!
But if he admits defeat, he will have to cede territory and pay compensation. Thinking about the scene where the great powers will swarm in the future, Ito Hirobumi shudders. But if he doesn't admit defeat, he will have to bear the price of the enemy attacking the homeland. He was hesitating when the good news came.
The first good news in this war, and huge good news at that.
Great victory in Pyongyang.
The First Army, personally led by General Aritomo Yamagata, known as the father of the Japanese Army, defeated the Qing army that launched an attack on Sandeng, and had taken advantage of the situation to reach the gates of Pyongyang.
Yang Feng was also speechless when he heard the news. To be honest, although Iktanga was a Manchu, he still had military talents. After all, he was also a veteran on the battlefield who followed Seng Gelinqin, and he was the same as those walking birds.
Dandies are not of the same nature at all. Historically, he and Nie Shicheng fought well in Motianling, but why would such a person be so stupid as to attack nearly 40,000 Japanese troops with more than 20,000 people? I really think that the soldiers under his command have what it takes.
Ability to attack the Japanese army?
"It's also difficult for Iketang. This time, he was named by the Queen Mother, asking him to go to North Korea to fight and show the prestige of the bannermen. After all, Asan has fought so well. In recent years, the bannermen have been suppressed militarily by us Han people.
, it has been like this since the time when the hair grew, but at that time there was still a monk king to support the banner people. After the monk king died, there was no one who could support the banner. The Queen Mother wanted to take this opportunity to raise her face again.
The bannerman's flag, so he was directly ordered by imperial edict to defeat the Japanese First Army.
In this case, Iketanga had no other choice. Even if he knew that the Japanese army was far stronger than him, he still had to attack the Japanese army. The court did not know the true combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. They knew that we had ten thousand people in Asan.
The 30,000 Japanese troops were defeated by many people and were helpless. In this case, there was no problem for the 20,000-strong army to take the initiative to attack.
In fact, he fought well at first. After all, most of them were Huai troops. I heard that Wei Rugui led his own soldiers to participate in the attack and was wounded by bullets. However, the Japanese army also learned our trench tactics, so they fought for a whole day.
Each army lost more than 3,000 people and made no progress. As a result, the Japanese army made a surprise attack in the middle of the night. Fengsheng'a was the first to run away, and Iketang'a's general Wo Heng'e was the second to run away.
The attacking Liu Shengxiu also ran away, which caused the entire army to be defeated. If Song Qing, who stayed behind in Pyongyang, had not reacted quickly, I am afraid that the Japanese army would have taken the opportunity to enter Pyongyang at this time." Xue Fucheng said with a bitter smile.
In fact, Yang Feng was blinded by the results of Yashan. This was the true combat effectiveness of the Qing army. This was how the entire Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War was defeated.
But it seems that this is not a bad thing. If the Japanese army suffers another bloody encounter in Pyongyang, then they may not have the courage to continue fighting this war. Giving them a victory will strengthen Ito Hirobumi's courage to continue fighting.
If the two sides stopped fighting, what reason would he have to continue to harm the Japanese people? This guy decided to watch the fun very insidiously.
The facts were just as he had guessed. Shanxian Youpeng was overjoyed by the true combat effectiveness displayed by the Qing army. He suffered less than two hundred casualties in this battle, and ended up wiping out three thousand Qing troops in one fell swoop, and also defeated the Qing army led by Iketanga.
The main force has been forced outside Pyongyang, and now there are only 4,000 Yi troops from Song Qing's army in the city.
Originally, Ito Hirobumi was already considering whether to ask the British to mediate the peace talks between the two sides. Even if one family divided half of North Korea, or if it was not possible, all of them would withdraw from North Korea, this would be considered as saving some face. As for the Germans and Yang Feng, if they can really
Withdrawing two divisions can basically last for a while. Yang Feng is a pirate, and those five thousand people will definitely not attack a well-defended city. The Germans' thousands-mile expedition will not last too long. By then, as long as they can
They knew how difficult it was to attack Japan, and they could just pay off more points.
But now Shanxian County Youpeng firmly disagrees, and clearly told him that the only ones the Qing army can really fight are those in Yashan, and they do not have offensive capabilities. The rest do not need the Second Army. He will lead the First Army for a month.
can easily cross the Yalu River. At least North Korea has hope of getting peace talks at that time, and at that time it can also show its strength with victory on the battlefield. If peace talks are held now, everyone will regard Japan as a weakling, which will stimulate
The ambitions of the great powers towards Japan.
What he said makes sense. If we can reach the Yalu River, we can at least let Germany and Russia know that Japan is not easy to mess with, and they will carefully consider their requests. In this case, Ito Hirobumi decided to hold on a little longer. To be honest, at this time
It is indeed too shameful to seek peace, and you might be hacked to death by angry warriors. As for the issue of domestic security, if it doesn't work, we have to organize more sword-drawing teams, and in addition, give those old muzzle-loading guns to various places
The reserve force will be issued and all the people will be soldiers to protect their homes and country.
So Shanxian Youpeng immediately divided his troops into two groups. He led the second and third divisions to pursue the Iktangga army retreating north. Prince Kitashirakawa led the fourth division to besiege Pyongyang. As for Asan, another
Before finding an effective means of attack, let Dashanyan focus on containment as much as possible.
