Lushun, yesterday's university has been frozen for thousands of miles, Liu Jun's injuries have healed most of the time, he can't stop, when he can act alone, Liu Jun went to the barracks accompanied by Wang Ruifang and Zhong Lin, and watched the training of recruits.

Because Li Rong bit the town to defend Tuchengzi, the current director of recruit training is concurrently served by Zhong Lin.

The training ground was actually the playground of the original Qing army, and only a few things that were not originally available were added by Liu Jun.

It means climbing obstacle course, and the second is trench excavation field. The climbing obstacle was specially made by Liu Jun according to the memories of later generations and asked the carpenter, with a total length of only about 50 meters, but it was the most feared place for recruits.

Fifty meters, canoe stakes, mud pits, curtain walls, fire rings, barbed wire, there are spikes on the barbed wire, as long as you climb a little higher, the spikes will pierce into people's skin, and trench digging is much simpler, that is, learn how to dig trenches and bunkers.

The entire recruit training office has begun training at this time, and what makes Liu Jun satisfied is that the Qing army that died this time has been replenished, and nearly a thousand people have been added, which also requires the support of the people in the city.

Wang Ruifang saw the recruit training for the first time, his eyes were full of curiosity, only to see some standing there, like a wooden stake, motionless, a veteran in the middle of them back and forth adjusting their posture A group of about 400 recruits, carrying equipment on their backs, running around the playground under the leadership of the officer, and more, indeed climbing and digging pits and shooting training.

Liu Jun took the captured Japanese equipment to the training ground in line with the principle of waste utilization, so that the Qing army could shoot and contact, and he changed the original Qing army's three-stage shooting method, that is, a platoon of guns, three rows of people, one row of afraid of the ground, one row of squatting, and one row of standing, but changed to trench shooting and climbing shooting.

At the end of the barracks training, Liu Jun and the three of them came to the barracks canteen together, sharing food with everyone, many Qing soldiers saw Liu Jun for the first time, and some people didn't even know who Liu Jun was, Liu Jun usually liked to joke and laugh a lot of Qing soldiers in the whole process of eating.

Back at the county office, Liu Jun saw that Zhang Yi was already waiting there, and he walked over: "Zhang Yi, why are you here, I didn't ask you to repair the fort, what's the matter, is it only a few days to repair it?" If so, I'm going to give you credit. ”

Zhang Yi saluted and said: "Brigade seat, the fort has been almost repaired, but the losses of the No. 4 and No. 3 batteries are too great, and the artillery is almost all blown up, so I can only give up." ”

The shore defense artillery was bombed, Liu Jun had no choice, he couldn't make this thing, and he couldn't buy it now, the only way was to work harder, and only after letting the Japanese army die and occupy Lushun's heart, could he raise money to buy artillery.

"Give up, give up, the No. 1 battery is the most important place, **** is possible, you can remove the guns of the No. 3 or 4 batteries and move them to the No. 1 battery to consolidate the battery's firepower. In addition, all the fort bunkers had to be reinforced, and many places were blown up by Japanese artillery shells last time. This question is very important, write it quickly, the Japanese army will not give us too much time to rest and recuperate, and in a month, they will attack Lushun again. ”

It is worthy of Liu Jun's soldiers, seeing Liu Jun after asking, Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Brigade seat, I have already arranged it, and today I am here to report on the brigade seat and inspect the fort." ”

Hearing that it was an inspection of the fort, Liu Jun nodded, put on the cloak handed over by Wang Ruifang, and then several people rode out of Lushun.

Everyone in the city now knows that the patron saint of Lushun rides a tall red horse with a black cloak, and is always accompanied by a girl, who makes many bachelors and married men blink when they see it. However, seeing that it was the side of the brigade, everyone didn't dare to think crookedly.

The three of them soon came to the fort, the wind was strong on the beach, Liu Jun saw that Wang Ruifang was wearing less, so he took off the cloak and handed it to Wang Ruifang, who was standing next to him: "Put it on." ”

"Traveler, I can't, it's"

"Don't grind, men and women don't kiss, if you faint here, I won't hug you, I'll be responsible, maybe I'll be hairy, and I won't touch the place where I shouldn't."

Hearing Liu Jun's words, Wang Ruifang's face turned red, white as Liu Jun, and he took it very unceremoniously, and then quickly draped it on his body.

The progress of Zhang Yi's repair has been completed, and the fort has also been reinforced, thanks to the people in the city, after hearing that the Qing army was repairing the fort, they voluntarily came to repair the fort. Everywhere.

Returning to the No. 1 battery bunker, Liu Jun praised Zhang Yi for a few words, and officially appointed Zhang Yi as the commander of the Lushun Battery, responsible for all the enemy operations in the battery, and asked Zhang Yi to train a group of artillery as soon as possible to fill the vacancy caused by this war.

Looking at the place where the Japanese warship ran aground last time, where the white bridge was standing, Liu Jun asked suspiciously: "What about the warship, was it blown up by you?" ”

"Oh, the day after you were injured, we called the tugboat and towed it to the Lushun Shipyard, where it is being repaired, and there is a big hole in his side that is two meters high, and it will enter the water as soon as he enters the deep sea."

"Let's go see our loot." Liu Jun said. Several people agreed, and came to the ship repair yard.

The entire ship repair yard in Lushun had already been emptied and had run back to their homes, but when they heard that the Qing army had caught a warship, some people ran back to repair the warship.

Since it was only to repair the leakage, it was not pulled into the canopy, but was only moored outside to be repaired.

The Hashidate was one of four warships purchased by the Japanese in charge of France. Although the main gun is not double-mounted, its speed is much higher than that of the entire Beiyang Naval Division. And the artillery has a fast rate of fire.

Wherever he came, Liu Jun saw a lot of workers working back and forth on the bridge. A managerial appearance saw Liu Jun coming over, and hurriedly took Liu Jun to the warship and said: "The warship will be repaired in two days all day, and I will ask the adults to practice collecting and driving away." ”

"What, drive away?" Liu Jun didn't understand what the old man meant.

The old man hesitated and said: "Yes, after the warship is repaired, you can fight, of course, open an account shipyard." ”

That's the truth, Liu Jun nodded, and hurriedly agreed to the old man. Then go and look at the entire hull.

Although many places were pitted by the defenders of the battery, it did not affect the operation of this warship. The only thing is that there are a lot of things in the cabin, all of which are Japanese flags and decorations, Liu Jun was upset when he saw it, and asked people to quickly replace all these things and replace them with the flag of the Qing Dynasty, as for the chrysanthemum pattern on the bow of the ship. Liu Jun also asked someone to erase it, and it was uncomfortable to see it.

The warships and shells are still relatively sufficient, and there are still about 200 shells for the main guns, which looks pretty good. However, Liu Jun knew that at the beginning of the war, these shells were not enough, so he also wrote down this problem.

On the pipeline of Lushun, Liu Jun has not spoken since he came out of the shipyard, and the two of them don't know what Liu Jun is thinking, and they are not easy to disturb, so they follow Liu Jun silently.

Liu Jun was worried about a problem, no one drove the captured warship, which is equal to zero, no one drove the warship, and the warship was not as good as the fort.

It's not that there is no half-size, or that the warship is pulled down to the sea and used as a water battery, so Liu Jun is not willing, it is also a warship, so it is used as a battery, it is simply not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

"Zhang Yi, will you drive a warship?" With the attitude of giving it a try, Liu Jun asked.

Zhang Yi touched his head, hehehe

"Gotta have it, Liu Jun hurriedly interrupted Zhang Yi's words, which does not mean that he did not say it.

It seems that the treasure thing should be used as a waste and as a water battery, Liu Jun thought depressedly.

Weihai, the reception hall of the Yamen of the Beiyang Naval Division, refused to pay, so the pipe bands of the warships came to the reception hall, and they all talked to each other, I don't know why the military gate urgently summoned all the pipe bands, and even the torpedo team that had never participated in this kind of meeting were all attended.

Ye Zugui, the leader of Jingyuan, was sitting next to Liu Buyun at this time, and he asked softly: "General Manager Liu, the military gate is holding a meeting so urgently, what is the matter, I also hope that General Manager Liu will not forget the feelings of his classmates and reveal one or two, so that I can prepare one or two, and I have the bottom of my heart." ”

Liu Buyun thought about it for a while, and he didn't know the specific situation, but when he heard the entourage of the military gate to inform him, he mentioned it because of a telegram from Tianjin.

Liu Buyun lowered his head and told Ye Zugui everything he knew, and then sat there, waiting for Ding Ruchang, who had not yet arrived.

Li He, the pipe belt of the Pingyuan, was supposed to go out on patrol today, and the warships all drove out of the military port, but he was stopped by the torpedo boat, saying that there was an emergency, and the military gate summoned all the pipe belts and ordered Li He to rush to the Yamen immediately, Li He had to hand over the command to the first mate, and then got off the warship, got on the torpedo boat, and came to the Yamen of the naval division.

"The military gate has arrived." The attendant said loudly as he entered the door.

As soon as they heard that Ding Ruchang had arrived, everyone hurriedly stood up, and after Ding Ruchang had done it, they sat down and waited for Ding Ruchang to speak.

Liu Buyun, who was sitting close, found that Ding Ruchang, who had no smile after withdrawing from Lushun to Weihai's military gate, was actually full of smiles today.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Ding Ruchang took a sip of tea, then took out a telegram from Tianjin and said lightly: "Everyone, Tianjin is in an emergency." ”

As soon as they heard that it was an urgent telegram, everyone stood up again and waited for orders.

Ding Ruchang waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said, "Don't be nervous, I want to tell you good news." ”
