Just a few hundred meters below the ruins, three ships headed by the Yura had forcibly approached the dock. There were many Japanese on the shore shouting crazily and even shooting at the ships. .
However, all these efforts are as ridiculous and helpless as a mantis trying to use its arms as a cart!
The Russians on the deck of the ship fired a volley, and these stubborn guys fell down screaming.
Flame, darkness, blood, gun smoke, and a fertile port caught in turmoil. All these factors combined together made Nagasaki at this time look like an apocalyptic ukiyo-e, exuding a strange charm.
The Nelson, burning with raging fire, carried its inertia and took the lead in trying to enter the berth roughly without slowing down - this style is also very Russian!
The huge bow of the ship hit the trestle heavily. The solid trestle shook a few times, and the front part of the trestle began to twist and break. Fortunately, the second half of the trestle finally withstood the test and survived.
Immediately afterwards, several springboards were erected on it, and a large number of drunk Russians were shouting the battle slogan "Ula", with red eyes and guns, and rushed into the military port like a tide... ...
The Japanese government would never have thought that China would actually launch a brazen attack here and now. In their arrogance, they chose to start turmoil in the city of Nagasaki. At this time, they were horrified to find that they had completely lost track of the entire situation. Take control!

Half an hour later,
Fang Linyan dragged a heavy step and limped down the pale Li San to the statue garden.
This place has gone through a series of bloody battles, and even the rough and unruly Russians were repulsed here, and then killed back in hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, to say that the fields are littered with corpses is an understatement.
There was an unpleasant smell in the air, a mixture of blood and gunpowder smoke.
At this time, about twenty people are busy here. They are logistics personnel who came off the ship and are responsible for a series of tasks such as treatment and cleaning the battlefield. These people are mainly recruited by the Qiao family. In addition to doing these things, In addition, there is another important mission, which is to act as a merchant accompanying the army, responsible for taking care of and purchasing trophies.
Ahem, businessmen also seek returns on their investments. As we all know, the bloody wealth obtained during the war is the most profitable. And the Qiao family, as the largest investor in this expeditionary force, should also be Eat the biggest piece of cake.
The Japanese corpses were moved aside at will, freeing up a large open space in the center for displaying the dead Russian and Chinese corpses, while the wounded were placed nearby in the barracks nearby.
At this time, someone had noticed Fang Linyan and Li San, and hurriedly came up to greet them, and then prepared to take them to the side for bandage treatment.
At this time, Li San's eyes suddenly widened. He shouted "Old Xu", broke away from the person who was supporting him, ran directly towards the open space next to him, and then came to a corpse in great shock. He immediately knelt down with his feet weak.
This corpse was covered in flesh and blood, with almost no good flesh left. You had to wipe off the blood on his face to see his true face. It was none other than Xu Wen, the martial arts detective! His big bow made him enchanted.
Xu Wen and Li San were strangers to each other originally, but they hit it off during the trip and had a very good conversation!
Speaking of which, one is the most beautiful girl in the imperial court, and the other is a thief on the wanted list. They are incompatible with each other, but the two have become good friends... But this friendship is not the same.
There is no longer enough time to brew.
After calling Lao Xu twice more, Li San's voice was choked with sobs, but he still shook his head in disbelief, completely ignoring that the wound on his chest had split open, and the blood flowed down bit by bit along the gauze.
A small pool soon formed on the ground below.
The shopkeeper Gao next to Li San said in a low voice:
"Xu Tanhua was on the watchtower at that time. He shot and killed more than a dozen little Japs with his arrows. However, he was also shot four times and his blood was almost drained, so he was directly helped down."
"But later when the Japs counterattacked, Xu Tanhua saw that the situation was not good, ignored the dissuasion, bandaged up her wounds and went into battle again. Because her left hand was injured and could not draw the bow, she rushed forward with a big sword, and finally died in the first battle
on-line......"
Fang Linyan limped to the side. His eyes scanned the corpses and found many familiar faces. Even more than half of Li Ju's men were among them... These were all good men!
They traveled across the ocean at all costs, and finally died in this foreign country. They risked their last breath and died on the battlefield. What supported them was their loyalty to this nation and this country.
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan said to Shopkeeper Gao:
"All subsequent expenses incurred by this series of events will be deducted from my income."
Fang Linyan was confident in saying this. After knowing that he invested almost all the profits in this expedition, the Qiao family's uncle personally promised that all the profits of the Qiao family in this expedition would go to Fang Linyan.
10% of.
When the relationship between the two parties has reached this level, it can be said that both sides are prosperous and both suffer losses.
In commercial activities in this world, risks and benefits have always been directly proportional. This time, the Russians' reckless rush to Hong Kong almost caused the entire army to be wiped out, but after the success of this adventure, the benefits were also extremely generous.
Not to mention anything else at this time, the two warships parked in Nagasaki Naval Port: Yoshino and Matsushima have directly made this military operation pay for itself.
Among them, the Yoshino fast cruiser was the Japanese naval battleship in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War and the flagship of the first guerrilla unit of its combined fleet.
The ship was manufactured by the British Armstrong Arsenal. Construction started on January 3, 1892, was launched on December 20 of the same year, and was completed on September 30, 1893. At that time, Japan paid a high price of 2.73 million yen for it.
You must know that the Japanese yen has not yet depreciated at this time. If converted into the currency unit of the Qing Dynasty, the purchase price of this cruiser exceeded one million taels of silver.
Moreover, after the purchase, Japan also installed additional additional devices such as artillery rangefinders, torpedo tubes, multiple rapid-fire guns, etc. These all cost extra money. The emperor claimed at the time that he only ate one meal a day in order to purchase this ship.
meal.
Not only that, because we are on the eve of World War I, all countries are aggressively expanding their armaments. Battleships are still in an absolute seller's market. You can't buy them with money. Even the Qing Dynasty was humiliated by this at this time.
During the Sino-Japanese War, Li Gongzhang approached the Chilean Navy and wanted to purchase their Blanco Encalada. This was a warship with a displacement of 4,500 tons. Its tonnage and firepower exceeded all aspects.
All ships of the Beiyang Fleet at that time.
However, when Li Gongzhang initially offered one million taels of silver, Chile kept raising the price. In the end, Li Gongzhang even offered 2.3 million taels of silver, but Chile actually said it would not sell it no matter how much it cost.
Although the Matsushima is not as expensive as the Yoshino, it is still one of Japan's battleships.
Apart from anything else, if you take these two battleships back and sell them to Old Man Li, he will be willing to pay five million taels of silver.
At this time, the Huai Clan controlled the customs, and five million silver could be turned over in two or three years. However, the two warships were different. This was a situation of ebb and flow. With one addition and one subtraction, Beiyang
The Navy is equivalent to a gap of four battleships compared to the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Now that the situation has reached this point, do you think Mr. Li doesn’t want to defeat the little Japanese? Don’t you want to imitate Zuo Zongtang and become a national hero?
***
At this time, people were coming over one after another, and they saw that the good brothers who had met to drink together a moment ago were now in different places, and all of them had sad expressions on their faces.
Fang Linyan sighed, patted Li San on the shoulder, and then took him to the room next to him, where a specialized doctor was already here to treat his injuries.
The treatment methods here are also a combination of Chinese and Western methods. There are doctors who are good at treating fractures, red wounds, and Russian military doctors who smell of alcohol and have big red noses... However, because the Russians account for an overwhelming number in the expeditionary force, so
The Russian military doctor was very busy here, but the doctor was quite free.
While receiving the old doctor's bone setting and debridement, Fang Linyan was also a little curious and couldn't help but check out the treatment methods of Russian military doctors. He found that the way these guys treated wounds was really shocking, and it was nothing more than three-step ax:
If the pain is severe, give me a shot of Mafei.
If the pain is not too severe, just throw two bottles of vodka over it. What, you are still crying about pain? Then add two more bottles of vodka until you are drunk!
If someone is unconscious and suffers internal injuries, just bleed directly... This is a mysterious therapy originating from ancient Egypt! It has also been certified by the great Cambridge Medical School and can effectively balance body fluids and relieve symptoms.
Medical textbooks in the British Empire at this time clearly stated: If bloodletting is ineffective, it means one thing: not enough blood was given.
Washington, the first president of the United States, died due to ineffective bloodletting therapy, so patients can rest assured that even if you die due to bloodletting therapy, you are honored to have the same cause of death as Mr. Washington...
In this case, Fang Linyan happened to see Master Huo sending his friend Sun Fumin to treat his injuries, so he called Master Huo to treat the Russian soldiers who were queuing up next to him.
