"I've given it to you, cherish it; In 100 years, this thing will be an antique, a priceless treasure! ”

He Changying saw Li Bo looking at the pocket watch in his hand with tiger eyes, and he didn't understand what he meant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not that he, Li Bohu, is greedy for money, but that he wants to wear this treatment of pocket watches!

When he asked this guy to take the officer reserve of the fourth company before, He Changying didn't equip him with a pocket watch, but this guy didn't care about these things at all.

Now it seems that Li Bohu has slowly found a sense of identity with the Korean aid army, and has begun to gradually integrate into it, treating himself as a member of the Korean aid army.

For such a person, of course He Changying would not be reluctant to give him this gem and gold watch given to him by Li Jingfang.

"Okay, okay—"

When Li Bohu heard that He Changying was going to give him the gold watch, he immediately smiled likely, grinned and took the gold watch from He Changying's hand, and put it in his big hand and touched it over and over again.

"Brother, let's change the envoy and give me two days."

Lu Zhaomei next to her looked at the yellow and clear pocket watch, her eyes lit up greedily, and she stretched out her big hand to grab it.

"Go, go, go,—— you don't have it yourself;"

Li Bohu closed the pocket watch tightly with his big hand, and shouted nervously: "This pocket watch will be equivalent to my daughter-in-law and your sister-in-law in the future; Can this be reversed? ”

"So stingy, you're still not my brother? My pocket watch is also equal to my daughter-in-law, your brother and sister I are willing to let you play, you just let me cool for a few days sister-in-law is worth something! ”

Lu Zhaomei's face was full of righteous words, and she continued to persuade Li Bohu bitterly.

"it!"

He Changying listened to the unbearable foul language of the two of them, and felt that his three views were about to be destroyed by them, so he quickly stood up and stayed away from these two beasts.

The mouth of the Yalu River, the Great East Valley, and the sea area of Kagoshima and Oshishima.

11:30 a.m.

In Andong Port, Liu Shengxiu's 10th Battalion Ming Army and Nie Shicheng's Jinmen Newly Recruited Army were using mule and horse carts to transport artillery and military supplies to the outside of the mouth.

At this time near noon, these young masters and recruits with fine skin and tender meat were hungry and tired, and all the camp posts stopped, sitting on the shore and bragging, smoking and waiting for lunch.

According to the autumn schedule of the sailors, the lunch time was 11:55, and there was still half an hour before this time.

And the soldiers of the ships also stayed on the deck in groups of three or five, fighting or sitting, smoking cigarettes, basking in the sun, and waiting for dinner.

After lunch, you can go back to Lushun Military Port, and then go to the shore to drink some wine, and then find a meat seller to play tricks at night.

Comfortable!

Zhenyuan, watchtower.

Lin Kong, the leader of the Zhengguan Banner, and Lin Kun, the leader of the Guanqi, were talking on the watchtower.

The two are half-brothers, they were admitted to the Beiyang Naval Academy together, and they went to the flagship Zhenyuan together, the eldest Lin Kun's children are already three years old, and the daughter-in-law of the second Lin Kong calculated that the time should be born in these two days.

The two were discussing the name of the child, what the boy was called and what the girl was called, when Rincón saw what seemed to be two thin black smoke in the southwest direction.

"There's a ship coming."

Rincón said strangely: "This is not a route, how can there be a ship coming from that side?" ”

Brother Lin Kun's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly followed Lin Kong's line of sight, looking at it with his eyes, only to see two thin black smoke rising in the air.

"Unlike the warships of the Japanese army, their boilers burn white coal of the best in the West, and they are all very light green smoke; It was supposed to be a merchant ship sailing along the coastline of North Korea. ”

Lin Kun said: "I'll go down and tell the adults, it's time to have lunch, wait for the shift change for you, let's talk about it below." ”

Soon, after just two bubbles, Ding Ruchang, who was refreshed, got the news, and his heart trembled, and most of his soul was almost gone.

It can't be that coincidental, right?

Thinking in his heart, Ding Ruchang hurriedly walked to the bridge and saw Liu Buchan, Hannagan and a group of people were holding binoculars to watch.

"Zixiang, is it a Japanese ship?"

Ding Ruchang tried his best to restrain his face and asked Liu Buyun.

"Such a thick black pillar of smoke does not look like a Japanese warship; The warships of all countries in the world, except for our Beiyang Naval Division, that is, the Nanyang, Fujian Naval Division, use better coal than ours. ”

Liu Buyun didn't feel like the combined fleet of the Japanese army, so his nervous heart was relaxed, and he couldn't help but start complaining again.

"Not a Japanese ship?"

When Ding Ruchang heard this, he let go of his worries.

He pretended not to understand Liu Buyun's words, held the telescope, and looked for a long time in a daze, only to see the two clouds of black smoke in the southwest direction.

"The lookout post continued to observe; Hang the three seven children and nine flags, let the ships be full of fire, the guns of the ships are live, and all the soldiers are in place to prepare for the war. ”

Although it is not like a Japanese ship, Ding Ruchang is a 'veteran', and 'being careful is not a big mistake' is the tenet he has always adhered to, and he will return after lunch, and it is not a waste to fire at this time.

"Da-"

Soon, on the 12 main ironclad ships of the Beiyang Naval Division, the horns of the pre-war warning sounded one after another, resounding through the fleet.

At the same time, the firefighters and charcoal pickers of each ship rushed to the boiler room in the cabin, turned on the fans, and the raging coal fire rose with full wind.

Immediately, from the chimneys of the ships, a large puff of billowing black smoke poured out, and when the wind was not still, all the battleships were instantly submerged.

"Ahem—"

", you're paralyzed!"

Suddenly, the soldiers and sailors on the battleship all coughed and scolded Zhang Yi, the general office of the Kailuan Coal Mine.

And this large cloud of black smoke that slowly rose into the sky immediately entered the eyes of the commanders of the Japanese Combined Fleet who were gradually approaching.

"Baga, so many pillars of black smoke, how can there be so many ships burning inferior coal!"

On the watchtower of the Matsushima, Ito held up the binoculars and looked at the sea covered in black smoke near the coastline of the mainland in the distance.

The more I look at it, the more wrong it becomes.

How is it possible for so many cargo ships to come to the mouth of the Yalu River?

Unless it's a troop carrier of the Qing army!

Since it is a troop carrier, then there will definitely be warships of the Qing army to follow the escort.

Beiyang Sailor, I can be regarded as having caught you!

Even if there were only one or two small loaches to escort them, as long as they were captured or sunk, London would be able to take advantage of the situation to issue another part of the life-sustaining war debt to ease the Empire's urgent needs.

At this moment, a huge surprise completely enveloped Ito Yuxiang, making his body begin to tremble slightly.

"Shark Island, order all ships to maintain their speed and maintain a complete serpentine formation; Eat immediately, after which the ships are in a state of imminent battle, waiting for the next order! ”

Ito Yuki quickly issued wartime orders to his chief of staff, Sameshima Commander.

At the same time, Kozo Tsuboi on the Yoshino, Shiki Kayama on the Saikyo Maru, and Heihachiro Togo on the Naniwa,——。

The Japanese generals and generals all stood on the high place of the warship and looked at the black fog in the distance, and they were all happily rubbing their hands.

Beiyang Sailor, where are you going this time?
