After this exercise, the people of the Beiyang Navy immediately became much more polite to the Nanyang Navy.
This time, the people of the Beiyang Navy also saw that the Nanyang Navy was not a vegetarian. If there was a fight, they, the Beiyang Navy, really couldn't do anything to Nanyang.
This is a dialogue between strong people. As long as you are strong enough, you can win the respect of the other party.
The Nanyang Navy was also very proud after this exercise. In the past, although they also had two giant ships, for some reason, people from the Beiyang Navy always felt inferior when meeting them. But after this exercise, they finally straightened up.
The waist is broken.
After Liu Hai's Nanyang Navy stayed in Hong Kong for another two days, they parted ways with the Beiyang Navy who spent the winter in the south.
After Liu Hai left Hong Kong, he immediately concentrated all his personnel on the ironclad Jiangxi to re-simulate the deficiencies shown in this exercise.
At the same time, Liu Hai's simulation this time has abandoned these 6 old cruisers, and instead moved 6 new cruisers built in the UK.
The result of a simulation was that the Nanyang Navy won a complete victory.
Because the speed of 6 cruisers could keep up with the two ironclads, they did not send 6 cruisers for a suicide attack this time to slow down the speed of the Beiyang Navy.
Their new tactic is to take advantage of speed, quickly move to the periphery of the Beiyang Navy, seize the "T", and then sink the warships of the Beiyang Navy one by one.
Liu Hai is very satisfied with the new tactics. If a few more old cruisers are sent in to slow down the movement speed of the Beiyang Navy, then their chances of fighting will be greater and their losses will be smaller.
The next few days were uneventful, and Liu Hai's Nanyang Navy finally returned to Shanghai after several months of turmoil.
It was still 1888 when they left, and when they returned, it was already February 1889.
When Liu Hai's warship arrived at the Shanghai pier, it immediately attracted the attention of Shanghai citizens and foreigners in the concession. Regardless of their purpose, they gathered on the pier to watch this Nanyang navy slowly dock.
After the warship docked, Liu Hai took the officers off the ironclad Jiangxi and bowed his hands to the fellow villagers who greeted them on the dock as a return gift.
When these people of the Qing Dynasty saw Liu Hai bowing their hands, they immediately burst into joy. They had never seen a high official like Liu Hai bowing his hands to ordinary people.
Some excited people even kept rushing forward. If the sailors of the Nanyang Navy hadn't been there to stop them, they would have all rushed in front of Liu Hai.
And Liu Hai looked very satisfied when he saw the common people. It seemed that his popularity in Shanghai was still very high.
When Liu Hai was feeling triumphant, Liu Er suddenly turned around and threw his bangs to the ground, while using his own body to block his bangs.
Liu Hai didn't realize what happened at all, and then he heard several gunshots.
Immediately he felt a damp heat on his chest, and his bangs immediately realized that it was Liu Er's blood that dyed his clothes red.
At the same time, Liu San and Liu Si, who were following Liu Hai, rushed to Liu Hai, pulled out their guns, and fired several shots at the gunman who suddenly appeared.
The assassin was immediately shot to the ground. Only then did the sailors who were maintaining order react. They swarmed up and suppressed the assassin who was shot to the ground.
Liu Hai couldn't care less about the assassin at this time. He turned over and hugged Liu Er, "Liu Er, how are you? Are you okay?"
At this time, Liu Er's breathing was weak. He just opened his eyes and looked at his bangs, then smiled at his bangs for the first time, and finally closed his eyes and never opened them again.
Liu Hai looked at Liu Er who passed away. He didn't know what happened, but a string in his heart was plucked. In the past, he had always used these biochemical people as tools.
Now that Liu Hai sees these biochemicals blocking the gun for him and dying in front of him, he can no longer regard these biochemicals as emotionless tools like robots.
Unknowingly, tears appeared on my bangs.
At this moment, Liu Yu came to Liu Hai with a gun in hand, "Admiral, the assassin has been caught. Liu San and Liu Si fired, and they were very sure that they did not hit each other's vital points."
After hearing this, Liu Hai's eyes turned red. Without saying a word, he grabbed Liuli's pistol, came to the assassin, and pointed the gun at his head.
Unexpectedly, when the assassin saw Liu Hai pointing a gun at him, not only was he not afraid, but he showed a trace of joy in his eyes.
Liu Hai has been transformed by his brain. He is very sensitive to the outside world. As soon as the assassin showed a hint of joy, Liu Hai felt it. He understood that this assassin wanted to die.
Now Liu Hai has calmed down. Since you want to die, I want to let you live. I want you to look at your family, who are in pain because of your involvement, and I also want you to look at the person who instigated you behind the scenes.
Die in front of you.
Liu Hai slowly took back his pistol, then gave the assassin a cold look, and then ordered Liu Yu who was standing next to him: "Take him into custody, take him back to the Yamen, and find someone to pry open his mouth."
.”
After Liu Hai finished speaking, he left Ma Pier and returned to the Nanyang Navy Yamen under the protection of a large number of soldiers and sailors.
After Liu Hai returned to the Yamen, he immediately began to attend court at the Nanyang Navy Yamen. All the officers of the Nanyang Navy had heard the news of Liu Hai's assassination, so they were now standing on both sides of the jury.
Liu Hai ordered the assassin to be brought up. The assassin looked calm when he saw Liu Hai's face, as if he didn't care at all about the torture he was about to face.
Liu Hai had a bad feeling when he saw the assassin being so calm, but he had to check it out first anyway.
So Liu Hai sat in the courtroom and asked the assassin kneeling below: "Who sent you here? If you tell me, I will spare your life and I will not implicate your family. Otherwise, you know what will happen."
The assassin looked calmly, and Liu Hai immediately lowered his head without saying a word.
And this was Xu Changshun, the commander of Nan Rui who was standing below. Seeing that this assassin was so ignorant of praise, he stood up and said: "Commander, why don't you just use severe punishment? I don't believe that this man can survive under the stick."
Open your mouth."
After hearing this, Liu Hai looked at the assassin below and said, "You also heard it. You have to think clearly whether you want to confess happily, or whether you have to suffer the task of confessing later."
After listening to Liu Hai's words, the muscles on the assassin's face kept trembling. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. It means that when a spy who has undergone rigorous training encounters torture, he just endures it, but he still has fear.
Seeing that he didn't say a word and didn't talk nonsense, Liu Hai directly helped the yamen servant below and said, "Put on the stick."
Pinch sticks are what many people see in movies and TV shows. They are placed on the fingers. It is also a kind of three sticks that are crossed on the person's thigh and pressed down from left to right.
This kind of criminal law is very cruel, and the Qing Dynasty imposed restrictions on these two instruments of torture. In the 17th year of Shunzhi (1660), Emperor Shunzhi issued an edict that the stick should not be abused in any official affairs without real evidence of stolen goods, or in minor matters such as marriage and land. In the 4th year of Kangxi, 1665
An edict was issued in 1999 that when trying major cases of robbery, theft or human life, if the prisoner has already confessed in another yamen and later changed his confession or there is conclusive evidence, but the prisoner insists on not telling the truth, in this case, a clamp can be used.
If the executioner abuses the clamp stick, he will be held accountable for deliberately violating the laws. In 1670, the 9th year of Kangxi, an edict was issued that officials were not allowed to use the clamp stick before interrogating prisoners before using other torture instruments. Women were not allowed to use it, and pregnant women were not allowed to use it.
And once the clamp stick is used, this person will be useless in the future.
When the assassin below heard that his bangs were about to be clamped with a stick, his face changed drastically, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on not speaking.
Liu Hai looked at his shoulder and was not polite at the same time, and directly threw a stick underneath.
When the dentist below saw Liu Hai handing out the signature, he immediately stepped forward. Several people held down the assassin, and there were two more teeth marks. They stepped forward to grab his hand, put his fingers into the middle of the clamping stick, and then these two
The individual starts exerting force from left to right.
At the beginning, these two people didn't use much force. They just wanted to make the prisoner feel pain, confess in advance, and prevent the prisoner from becoming disabled. These are government rules. They were afraid that once the prisoner was tortured, the prisoner would be tortured.
After his death, his family had nowhere to go.
But the assassin in front of him was so painful that he was sweating all over his face, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.
The two executioners still didn't speak when they saw him, so they gradually increased their strength, and then they heard the clatter of the stick, and the prisoner's bones began to creak with the sound.
ring.
At this point, the assassin could no longer hold on and began to scream at the top of his lungs.
Liu Hai sat on it with an expressionless face, looking at the prisoner in agony, so he asked: "Are you looking for a move?
Although the prisoner was in severe pain, he still remained silent and would never confess.
At this point, Liu Hai was no longer polite, "Give him the stick on his leg to use too."
The officer below was shocked when he heard this and looked up at his bangs, because this was against the rules.
But seeing the bangs on it, his face was livid, and his eyes were almost on fire, and he didn't dare to say anything, so the officials took out a new instrument of torture.
Everyone knows very well about this instrument of torture, that is, there are three wooden sticks connected by iron chains.
Then the prisoner's legs were placed under the middle wooden stick, and the other two wooden sticks were crossed, and then the officials exerted force on both sides.
Could this kind of marching pain be more severe than pinching your fingers?
People often say: There is nothing you can ask for under three trees, which is this kind of torture.
Before the government officials were ready, Liu Hai threw the stick directly to the ground, so the two government officials worked hard on both sides.
At this point, the assassin couldn't stand it anymore. He was tortured on his hands and feet, and he passed out from the pain several times before being splashed with cold water to wake him up.
In the end, I could only keep shouting: "Kill me, kill me, Lord Qingtian, please kill me."
