Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 61

Ding Ruchang and others did not know Yang Xin, but they knew Nalan Yuanshu and Sun Wen.

Nalan Yuanshu is a rare talent among the banner people, and he is a first-rank admiral of Guangzhou. Of course Ding Ruchang and others know him. For example.

When Nalan Yuanshu and Sun Wen appeared together in the same camp, Ding Ruchang and others knew that things were getting worse.

"Lord Nalan, I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to betray the court? You are a bannerman!" Ding Ruchang stared at Nalan Yuanshu with wide eyes and said in disbelief.

"It is precisely because I am a bannerman that I will do this, alas! We soldiers are also in the arena, and we cannot help ourselves." Nalan Yuanshu sighed.

Seeing this situation, Ding Ruchang knew that even Nalan Yuanshu had surrendered, so he asked directly, "I don't know how you want to deal with us?"

Yang Xin glanced at Ding Ruchang and his party, and knew that no matter it was Ding Ruchang, Deng Shichang, or Liu Buchan and others in history, they all committed suicide and died for their country. Go to Qiongzhou Mansion for a short stay."

Ding Ruchang and the others looked at each other, and understood that Yang Xinmei said that he was inviting them to stay for a while, but in fact he was under house arrest. Moreover, in the Yellow Sea naval battle, the Beiyang Navy was completely wiped out. The only good news is that the United Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom was even worse. .

"May I ask my lord, are the Guangjia and Jiyuan ships safe?" Liu Buchan asked suddenly.

"It has been sunk by our army. This is a national war. Those who are timid and flee will be killed!" Yang Xin said coldly.

After Yang Xin finished speaking, he waved his hand. Huang Feihong walked in with two nurses carrying the medicine kit, and went straight to Ding Ruchang.

Deng Shichang and others subconsciously protected Ding Ruchang behind him.

"I don't have to wait until now to kill you." After Huang Feihong finished speaking, he pushed the crowd away and began to treat Ding Ruchang's wounds.

"Military seat, Master Ding is seriously injured and needs to be treated in a quiet room." Huang Feihong said after taking Ding Ruchang's pulse.

As soon as Huang Feihong finished speaking, the hearts of Ding Ruchang and the others rose instantly. In such a situation where people are like swordsmen and me are fish and meat, God knows whether to really treat Ding Ruchang's wounds, or to isolate Ding Ruchang from everyone else on the grounds of healing. Come.

"Master Ye Zugui, Lord Qiu Baoren, you carry Ding Junmen to the quiet room for treatment. Lord Huang Jianxun and Lord Lin Luzhong can go together if they want to go." Yang Xin waved his hand and said.

As soon as Yang Xin's words fell, Ding Ruchang and others felt relieved instantly. It seemed that Yang Xin really wanted to heal Ding Ruchang's injuries. Ding Ruchang and others, who were relieved, turned their heads and instantly understood that they were nervous. The situation is getting worse, people can treat themselves as they want to treat themselves, there is no need to use any tricks at all.

"Then I will trouble you sir." Ding Ruchang smiled wryly.

Huang Feihong immediately found a stretcher and motioned for Ding Ruchang to lie on it. Ding Ruchang was not lucky and lay down on it directly. Lin Taizeng and Ye Zugui immediately lifted the stretcher and went straight to the quiet room under Huang Feihong's leadership.

"Dare to ask my lord, can I write a letter to Li Zhongtang." Ding Ruchang asked suddenly when he was about to be carried out.

"Yes." Yang Xin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care at all.

"Thank you, sir!" Ding Ruchang struggled to sit up, and solemnly bowed to Yang Xin.

In this naval battle, all members of the Beiyang Navy were captured. What Ding Ruchang had to do was to pass the information of this battle to Master Zhongtang as quickly as possible, so that Master Zhongtang could adapt to the situation. He thought he would be rejected, but Yang Xin did not expect Adapting easily, Ding Ruchang didn't feel a trace of rejoicing, but a silent fear rose from the bottom of his heart.

The fact that the other party allowed him to pass the information back so generously showed that he did not take Master Zhongtang's Huai army and the court seriously.

Why?Strength.

Ding Ruchang and others have seen the strength of the navy, so how bad can the strength of the army be?With a strong navy, it is inherently invincible.

"Master Liu Buchan, Lord Lin Taizeng, Lord Deng Shichang, Lord Lin Yongsheng, shall we go for a walk on the deck?" After Yang Xin finished speaking, he walked out first.

"Can you refuse?" Liu Buchan, Deng Shichang and Lin Yongsheng looked at each other, smiled wryly, and followed Yang Xin to the deck.

"Dreadnought-class battleship, with a length of 160 meters, a width of 25 meters, a full load displacement of 840 tons, equipped with ten 21-inch main guns, a speed of [-] knots, four-shaft propulsion, and eighteen coal-fired steam boilers. How is it? How is it compared to the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships of the Beiyang Navy?" Yang Xin looked at Liu Buchan, Lin Taizeng, Deng Shichang, and Lin Yongsheng.

"There is no comparison at all." Liu Buchan, the warship commander of Dingyuan, murmured while stroking the thick muzzle of the main gun.

"Compared with this Dreadnought-class battleship, the second ship Dingzhen is as immature as a child." Lin Taizeng, the commander of the Zhenyuan ship, said.

"If my Beiyang Navy has two such Dreadnought-class warships, no, even if there is only one, the combined Japanese fleet will definitely be defeated in this naval battle." Said Lin Yongsheng, the leader of Jingyuan.

"Indeed, if the Zhiyuan ship I am driving is a Dreadnought-class battleship, Yoshino will not even be able to withstand the second round of bombardment." Deng Shichang also said.

After finishing speaking, the faces of the four of them turned black at the same time. The Dreadnought-class battleship is indeed powerful. The Yoshino of the Japanese United Fleet was sunk under the first round of bombardment by the Dreadnought-class battleship. There are sixteen battleships of this class. There are countless other types of warships.

Both the United Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom and the Beiyang Navy were taken over by others. If they were not Chinese citizens, I would have become a ghost under the knife and a prisoner. Unlike now, I can still watch leisurely on the deck. landscape?
"Lord Liu, Lord Deng, and the two Lord Lin, are you interested in commanding such a warship that can cross the sea and be proud of the world?" Yang Xin asked with a light smile.

Liu Buchan, Lin Taizeng, Deng Shichang and Lin Yongsheng breathed heavily at the same time.As an admiral, why wouldn't he want to be in charge of the world's most advanced and powerful warship like the Dreadnought?
However, all four of them understood that if they really agreed, it would mean betraying the court, Beiyang, and Li Zhongtang, and the four of them became anxious in the depths of their hearts.On the one hand, he wants to be in charge of this kind of warship, but on the other hand, he is unwilling to betray the imperial court, Beiyang and Li Zhongtang.

"Dare to ask, my lord, why only the four of us were recruited?" Deng Shichang asked suddenly.

"Because, you are real heroes. Without the intervention of our Dehua United Fleet, Lord Deng would have sunk with the ship. I believe the other three adults will be the same. My lords will not be forced, so I would like to ask you all to go to Qiongzhou Mansion to stay for a while, and after I have won the world, I will travel all over the world together with your lords." Yang Xin said.

In history, Deng Shichang sank with the ship; Lin Yongsheng fought the enemy bravely and died on the spot; Liu Buchan bravely resisted the enemy in the Weihaiwei naval battle and died for his country;

This is the reason why Yang Xin recruited the four people, but Yang Xin was not in a hurry. He knew that he did not have the aura of domineering, and he could make people accept their heads and worship him. Therefore, he explicitly recruited them, but he did not force them, so as to save them from being overwhelmed and committing suicide for the country. It's okay to die for the country, but it's more embarrassing to die for the Manchus.

"May I ask you, how many warships does China have in the German-Chinese joint fleet?" Deng Shichang asked again.
