The capital, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Liu Jun got up early in the morning today, not because he wanted to eat today, but at nine o'clock today, ? ?. ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ ｎ `ｏ?ｒｇ

Now, Defense Minister Wang Shizhen and Intelligence Director Zhong Lin. Security Bureau Director Pang Sheng, Supervision Bureau Director Zheng Yiqian, and Chief of Staff Ding Ruchang have all gathered at the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Time passed little by little, and now there is still an hour until nine o'clock.

There was silence in the entire Heart Cultivation Palace, and everyone was waiting for the time to come.

And now Liu Jun is sitting on a chair, looking at the message on the table.

Yesterday afternoon, the last ship that had come to greet the British and French had already left, and now, in the South Seas, there were only about 10,000 foreigners who did not want to leave.

For these people, Liu Jun once said goodbye, don't have any scruples, they are looking for death.

"Head, it's time." Zhong Lin, who had been sitting on the sofa, saw that the time had been pointed to nine o'clock, and immediately spoke.

When he arrived, Liu Jun, who heard the voice, immediately stood up, and after tidying up his military uniform, he took a deep breath.

"Command."

The people present are all in the rank of general, and they still understand the rules in the army, so as soon as they heard Liu Jun's order, everyone stood up and listened.

"Order, the landing operation against the South Seas, immediately begin."

"Yes." Zhong Lin, who wrote the order, finished writing the message, and then handed the message to the telegraph personnel waiting in front of him, and after checking the situation, the telegraph personnel immediately began to go out to issue orders.

At the Guangdong Headquarters, Duan Qirui quietly listened to Chief of Staff Zhang Qing read a telegram to himself, which had just been received, and it was a landing operation order issued by the capital.

Finally waited for this time, Duan Qirui, who listened to the message, smiled, then grabbed the hat in his hand and began to walk outside, he wanted to transfer his headquarters to Li He's Hongzhang.

The convoy led by Li He had already arrived at Huangpu, Fujian, and other places last evening, and in the time of last night, it had already loaded the troops of nearly two armies, and now these troops were waiting on the dock for the order to leave.

Woowoo...... Whampoa Military Port. Li He, who had sharp eyes, saw Duan Qirui accompanied by Zhang Qing and others to the dock at a glance, and when he saw that it was Duan Qirui, Li He immediately got off the bridge and let Duan Qirui come to the bridge.

"Give the order to go. You are the commander-in-chief, and you have to give this order. After Duan Qirui had rested a little, Li He raised his head and said.

Well, this is also right, he is the commander-in-chief of this landing operation, and it is not wrong to let himself give orders, hearing Li He's words, Duan Qirui thought in his heart.

"Order, the whole army set off, the target is Nanyang." Clear orders began to be given.

Woowoo....... The whistle sounded, and the warships anchored in the harbor began to slowly leave, accompanied by the transports, and began to pass in the direction of the South Seas.

Nanyang, the Governor's Palace, and now Hu Langge is already emaciated.

Yesterday afternoon, he got accurate news that Li He's fleet, which had suddenly disappeared a few days earlier, suddenly appeared in Guangdong.

This sudden news frightened Hu Langge's heart, and he estimated that the appearance of Li He's fleet in Guangdong was definitely not a good thing.

"Your Excellency Governor, the latest news, Li He's fleet is carrying a gradual 40,000 army and is coming to our side." The adjutant's nervous voice rang out outside.

What the. Hearing this, Hu Langge stood up suddenly. He didn't believe that Li He's fleet had been killed so quickly.

'Is it reliable?' Hu Langge still didn't believe that this news was really dangerous.

When has this been, who is still joking with you, the governor still doesn't believe it when he sees himself, and the adjutant handed over the telegram in his hand.

Sure enough, it was clearly said from above, at nine o'clock, Li and the fleet left.

It's nine, and it's twelve o'clock now. Hu Langge, who had looked at the time, was shocked, he knew that his Nanyang had two days at most, and he would usher in a more fierce attack.

"Order, all armies on the front line immediately prepare for battle."

There is no need to issue this, several armies on the front line are now ready, but what is the use of this preparation.

The coastal defense batteries have now lost their effectiveness, and without the cover of the batteries and the navy, the army is on the front line, and it is the object of bombing.

However, the adjutant had to mention Hu Langge's order, and immediately, he nodded, and then turned around and began to give orders.

Woowoo...... Off the coast of the South Seas, after a two-day voyage. The fleet led by Li He finally arrived at the waters off the coast of Nanyang, and now, the fleet is anchored less than 15 nautical miles from Manila in Nanyang.

On the bridge of the Hongzhang, Li He looked at the surrounding warships motionlessly, and when he came back, he had already got the latest situation, the two armies of Hu Langge were now on the beach.

On the beach, it's an act of looking for death.

"Commander Li, this shelling is yours." Duan Qirui has discussed everything with Li He in the past two days.

That is, Li He led the fleet, first shelled them for two hours, and then the army began to attack.

Li He knew what Duan Qirui meant, so he nodded immediately, and then began to give orders.

A few minutes later, three battleships and five cruisers, led by the Hongzhang, began to sail out of the array and headed for the distant army positions.

Already able to see their military flags, Li He, who put down the binoculars, showed a smile, he really didn't know why Hu Langge had to let the soldiers stay on the beach instead of withdrawing out of range when the batteries and navy had been lost.

Now is not the time to feel sorry for these soldiers. I can only complain about the misery of these soldiers, and find a commander who doesn't know military common sense.

"Order, shoot at five targets each."

Without target fire, that is, for an attack on the beach, there is no purpose, and the artillery can bomb the beach as much as they want.

Squeak..... The turret began to turn, and the black muzzle was already aimed at the beach.

Bang dang...... The sound of the bolt closing can be heard clearly even from the bridge.

"Ready."

"Put."

Boom...... The orange-red anger of the main battery of the Hongzhang was the signal, and it was also the first shot launched in the entire Nanyang landing operation.

The cannon from the turret of the Hongzhang was the signal, and in an instant, the entire fleet tilted the shells to the beach (to be continued. )
