C1243 Shen Baozhen

To outsiders, the Minjiang Estuary Sea War was definitely an exciting victory for the Great Qing. No matter who the Zhiyuan Warship belonged to, just based on their identical national feelings, they would always be able to make the people of the Great Qing share their feelings.

However, to the experienced military personnel, although the Minjiang Estuary Sea War was very intense, it still felt a bit like ending a war with the tiger. The battle between the two sides ended just like that. Zhiyuan Warship s were not killed viciously enough, and Russian fleet was also clearly more despicable.

It was like two experts fighting each other. The Hua Clan like lightning and slapped Russian Expeditionary Force in the face, but the battle that followed was gone, both sides maintained a distance and escaped from the battle.

For Ri Yige to be able to become an instructor of the Ship Government Academy and receive a salary of a thousand silver, it showed that he had some skills. When the training ship returned from Minjiang Estuary to the Ship Government Academy, he had an intense quarrel with this group of young students.

"No, no, no. You all didn't understand that in this sea battle, Russian did not suffer too much. On the contrary, because of Xiao Letian's reckless actions, he allowed Russian Army to get a glimpse of his true strength …"

"Don't always think of war as just an ordinary person's way of thinking. The ultimate goal of war is to achieve the core mission objectives. In this process, a few small losses can be completely ignored!"

"There are only two frigate sank in the Russian Army, what's this to such a huge fleet?"

These proud students had finally found such an opportunity to be proud and raise their eyebrows, not to mention that this was their personal command, led by their 'Holy Lord' Tongzhi. No matter how much they sunk, just the political significance of it was enough to make them excited for a year.

How could these students allow the French large nose to pour cold water on them? Liu Buchan was about to curse. Are you purposely bragging? Even though it is just two frigate, don't you forget that the Emperor only has one battleship, and only one battleship made such a glorious result … "

"Morale!" War is about morale, do you understand? There was a thousand miles of cloud that could make a battle in this battle, it would definitely drag the general down! Was this group of Russian charging forward? This is a hundred thousand li of speed! "

"Russian went around half of Earth, and now they are relying on their breath to support their chests. As long as we let their morale down, they will be like a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered!"

Ri Yige disapproved of this argument, "What era is this, it is not the era of cold weapons. The strong morale of an army right now comes from their logistics and their firepower! As long as the Russian breaks out of the encirclement and meets with the garrison master of the Haishenwai, the situation of the Far Eastern Russian will be able to stabilize … "

"As for the morale, these Russian Army will have fully recovered after a month of rest! "Forget it, I must make a suggestion to Senior Shen that your military strategy class definitely cannot be passed …"

Hi... This sentence made all the students extremely furious. As a French large nose instructor, wouldn't it be fine if you just taught everyone how to navigate boats? Traditional military law courses are taught by Chinese teachers, okay? Can you control it?

A group of people wanted to argue, but training ship had already headed towards the inner river path of Minjiang River. Right at that moment, a group of sailboats suddenly appeared on the large river.

"Look, it's Lord Shen's banner …" When the people saw it, they knew that it was true, it was the banner of Fujian's Minister of Shipping, Shen Baozhen.

When Zuo Zongtang left Fuzhou to the northwest, he especially requested for the imperial government to give Shen Baozhen the title of the ship's minister. The reason was because he hoped that would be able to properly manage the Mawei Shipyard and the ship's government school.

There was no reason to reject such a request from the imperial government. After all, Lin Zexu still had some connections within the imperial court, and he was not a mediocre person either.

It turned out that Shen Baozhen was really a doer. The shipyard and shipbuilding academy had let him manage their businesses brilliantly for the past few years, and, Liu Buchan, Deng Shichang and the other outstanding students could understand everything else.

When the Fuzhou City received the news that the Russia's military ships were recklessly attacking the fishermen along the coast, Shen Baozhen was enraged and immediately ordered his navy ship to go forward and negotiate with them.

The students who had just seen the Iron-armored battleship, looked at the five hundred small boats that were rushing up from the Minjiang River, looked at the sails that were hung with patches, then looked at the swords at the bows of the water masters' waists, and the so-called Red Cloaked Cannon … Everyone blushed.

This time, no one was in the mood to argue with Ri Yige. The difference between the two sides made the students pessimistic about the future of the Great Qing Navy.

Shen Baozhen stood at the bow of the ship and welcomed the training ship. Under the careful control of the old sailor, the two ships crossed the river and boarded a stepping stone.

"What exactly is going on? Where did the gunfire come from? Who fought who? Why were there a large number of fleeing citizens in Chang Le County? "Hurry up and answer me, what happened …"

When Yan Fu and the rest finished recounting the situation of the battle, when Shen Baozhen heard the news that the Emperor was participating in the battle on the ocean, the loyal subject from Great Qing City shouted loudly, "Xiao Letian! You're shameless! How could it be possible for someone like you to harm Great Qing … " The person fell backwards.

Shen Baozhen fainted, causing everyone to go crazy. The soldiers behind supported Master Shen, and the other students sent him chairs and water. They busied themselves for a long time before they woke him up.

"Your Majesty …" Where did the Emperor go? "

"Master Shen, you can be at ease. His majesty is very safe, the Russian can't do anything to the Zhiyuan Warship. On the contrary, the Zhiyuan Warship even made two of them sink."

"Foolish!" Shen Baozhen shouted loudly, "The son of a thousand gold sits in the palace, how can the Emperor take the risk? What if an accident were to happen to Great Qing? Another Sin-uni coup d'état? "

Gui Chen paid the most attention to words of caution. This kind of sensitive topic would not be raised in public easily, to be able to speak of it in public today, it was sufficient to prove that Master Shen's heart was already in a mess.

"Even if His Majesty is safe, this matter will not be good! The Beijing had already collapsed, and the imperial government had to negotiate with the Russia again. How hard was it for Lord Zuo to fight in the northwest? Do we still need to give the Russian a full explanation for fighting us? "

"You're all confused! To treat Xiao Letian as a good person, this guy really wanted to drag Great Qing down with him! This person has a dark skin, he's definitely not a good person! "

And also Ma Ming and the rest! I was too tolerant of them. I thought they were the personal guards of the Emperor, so I took care of them. Who would've thought they would dare to open fire! I shouldn't have allowed them to move to Chang Le County before … "

"Send the news!" Report to Beijing! "Report everything that has happened today, quick, quick …"
