"No wonder King Zhao asked me to join the army camp as a soldier. It's ridiculous that we are so self-righteous and think that we can denounce Fang Qiu just with our little knowledge. What a scholarly spirit!"

In the cockpit, Deng Fei turned to look at Jiang Fan and Hong Liangji outside, and looked back at Ding Guofeng with a wry smile.

The money and blood and sweat spent by the North Navy from nothing to what it is today are really hard to describe. The 75mm cannon is easy to build, but talking about the shells makes me cry!

The shells of the 75mm gun were no longer produced in another time and space. The 85mm gun's barrel was too long and was not suitable for the navy at all.

A year ago, Zhao Xin spent a lot of money to buy the formula for the firing powder and primer of the D-44 85mm anti-tank artillery shell. But if the shells were made according to this formula, the 75mm gun of the Bei Navy could not withstand such a large bore pressure;

After firing more than twenty rounds, cracks appeared inside the barrel.

So Fang Hua tested again and again, adjusting the proportion, particle size and density of each formula; at the same time, the arsenal made samples for test firing according to the test results again and again, and two 75mm cannons were destroyed. Until Hunchun

Before the battle, the number of artillery shells produced by the arsenal was still insufficient.

If Zhao Xin had not been prepared beforehand, Zhao Xin would have specially ordered two thousand rounds from Andrew six months ago, otherwise he would not be able to find the temple gate with the pig's head. Although two thousand rounds are not much, the price is really expensive for Zhao

Xin almost cried. He made up his mind that this was the last time and he would never buy it again until he died!

The Qing troops in Lushun Naval Camp suffered heavy casualties under the artillery fire from Beihai No. 1 and No. 2. Thirty large and small sailing boats on the port were hit one after another and caught fire, and fires also broke out in the camp to the north;

The roof made of straw flew everywhere after catching fire, and wherever it landed, the roof was ignited.

There was a loud "boom", and the warehouse storing rockets, spray barrels and cupping cans in the Qing army camp was hit by a shell. The huge fireball instantly swallowed up the three rows of barracks in front and behind.

After the Marine Battalion soldiers landed, all that was waiting for them was to clean up the battlefield.

The assistant leader Gao Biao's canthus was split, so red that he could bleed. He stood in the middle of the cross street with a knife, surrounded by barracks with blazing fire. He had already sent away his personal soldier Geshiha, and rode his fast horse to rush there.

Xiongyue Town reported the emergency to the deputy capital commander, and also notified Ninghai, Xinjin and Fuxian counties along the way.

"Damn Beihai soldiers, why are you bombarding Port Arthur? I didn't provoke you!"

At this time, the figure of Bei Haijun was clearly visible dozens of meters away. Gao Biao actually didn't want to die, but the problem was that his wife, children, and parents were all in Shengjing. If he surrendered, his family would definitely not be able to survive, and the emperor might be angry.

They will be dispatched to Yili next.

That’s all!

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and touched the location of the aorta in his neck, then raised the knife and cut his neck under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen Bei navy soldiers.

Two days later, the Northern Navy's fleet sailed into Jinzhou Bay, frightening the officials of the local tax office and running away. While Deng Fei ordered people from the Ministry of Trade to buy soybeans from surrounding merchant ships, he also ordered the Marine Battalion to land and march towards Ninghai.

Ninghai County wanted to close the city gate and hold on, but the Marine Battalion fired several mortars and blew up the west gate. They had no choice but to raise a white flag, and then the county magistrate hanged himself in the county government office.

When they heard that the Beihai soldiers came here to buy soybeans instead of conquering the city, the officials, businessmen, soldiers and civilians in Ninghai County were all shocked.

Two days later, a fleet loaded with 30,000 stones of soybeans crossed Xizhong Island and Changxing Island and entered Fuzhou Bay. Facing the merchants who came by boat from the Empress’ Palace to negotiate on behalf of the government, Ding Guofeng said: "Limited

You have to transport 50,000 shi of soybeans within three days, otherwise we will bombard Fuzhou City!"

The businessman trembled with fright. Just as he was about to negotiate the price, he heard the Beihai Army officer in front of him say something else: "We don't bully others. We give money when we buy things!"

When the businessman returned to Fuzhou, the eight-banner garrison captains and captains were dumbfounded after hearing the Beihai Navy's request. They thought, just to buy soybeans?

Is this a big deal? You should have told me earlier! Just because of such a trivial matter, they even beat up Lushun Water Camp. This is too bullying!
