C1244 Zhiyuan Warship s

In the late Qing, the moment the imperial government heard the words "conduct of business", it gave them a headache. On one hand, the foreigners were too arrogant, and on the other hand, the imperial government lacked this kind of talent.

What was even worse was that even until the end of the Great Qing Dynasty, they did not lose face for the empire. Many of the officials who conducted diplomacy and negotiated with the powers of Europe did not do so under the laws of the world, but rather under the laws of the Forbidden City.

When Ci Xi was in power, diplomats had to listen to whatever the empress dowager said. Sometimes, when the empress dowager said something that didn't make sense, it would make the westerner laugh or misunderstand, but who would dare to disobey the imperial decree? Do you even need a head? Do you need an official position?

Thus, in those decades in the late Qing, whoever went on a diplomatic mission would be in trouble, and the foreign empress dowager would have to scold them every day.

Don't look at the fact that Shen Baozhen had the shipyard and school, but once he met with this kind of negotiation work, the first thing he thought of was to push the responsibility to the Beijing.

"Send the report, hurry up and send the report!" Remember, you must write down this matter of me fainting due to anger... Someone! "The training ship docked and carried me off the ship …"

When Shen Baozhen was carried out of the boat by the bamboo chair, he grabbed Ri Yige with one hand and said with a low voice, "During this period of time, all the other classes have stopped, so you can use the shipyard and all of the school's sailboats … All the students were training at the sea, so they wanted to find out more about the situation! "I can't stop worrying, your majesty …"

Master Shen is not at ease with the Emperor, but little emperor Zai Chun might not know of Shen Baozhen's filial piety, so the current Zai Chun has completely gone mad.

Right now, Zhiyuan Warship and the enemy ships were completely at a stalemate, the two sides were just as afraid as hemp stalks and wolves. Venia ordered the fleet to keep their distance, and the Zhiyuan Warship did not want to waste any precious cannonballs. The two sides dragged on like this, wasting each other's energy, as if they were waiting for something.

What were they waiting for? Xiang Ying was very clear that everyone was waiting for the arrival of night. Only when night fell would both sides have the excuse to withdraw their troops. Otherwise, they could only continue this stalemate.

The war had become much safer now. Zai Chun's ban on contact, under the protection of a few sailors, the little emperor started to carefully tour the mysterious warship.

Xiao Letian and Xiang Ying were analyzing the sea map in the command cabin, deducing the next battle plan. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Ying issued a new order.

"Order the boiler room to stop burning white coal …" Bring out the coal we specially prepared and burn it! "

"What is it?" What did you specially prepare? " Xiao Letian asked in confusion.

Xiang Ying poured a cup of coffee for the prime minister and said, "Prime Minister, just watch and see.

The boiler room had received the order to immediately change the coal. In about twenty minutes, Xiao Letian watched as Zhiyuan Warship's chimney began to emit black smoke, the thick smoke rolling in the air and pulling out a black smoke belt. The sailors on the deck shook their heads, and ashes flew everywhere.

"Hehe, I got Kailuan to specially prepare some high sulfur coal. I used it to numb the enemy … "Pass down the order that the boiler will be reduced in pressure and the ship speed will be reduced …"

"Prime Minister!" Since we want to trick our enemies, we have to show our weakness. What can deceive our enemies more than a failure in a Zhiyuan Warship boiler? "

On the same day, at four-thirty in the afternoon, General Venia who was on the Diamond realized the abnormality of the Zhiyuan Warship.

"Hahaha!" God bless the Tsar, God bless the Russia! That damned warship is out of order... "It must be a boiler failure. Like I said, how can there be perfect technology in this world? Things that are too advanced cannot be tested …"

"Prussia isn't the English and French, and their industrial strength is only on par with us, the Sha Russian, so if we can't create this kind of battleship, how could they? Even if it was created, it would be full of hidden dangers! God bless us, Ulla! "

The soldiers on the Diamond were encouraged by the Captain, their voices filled with excited roars and howls.

"Captain, since the enemy warships are down, let's go kill them all! "What a great opportunity …" There was a silly suggestion from an aide.

"Bullshit!" The enemy is a boiler failure and not the main cannon failure, why rush up? Then get bombed? Didn't you see that the battleship just slowed down in speed? It's not like it lost its power.

"Remember, this sea battle gave us a big warning. Our first mission in Asia is to save the Far East, not to fight bravely! "Don't underestimate these eastern people. We should still be careful …"

"Remember, from now on, try not to attack any ships of the Ryukyu when you encounter them. Also, modify the channel of navigation so that we don't get too close to the Bulbus Glazed Island …" I heard that the cannon emplacement there is very powerful, so let's not touch that nail! "

"Keep your distance... "When it's completely dark, we'll head north to meet up with the rest of the army. I don't want to see this warship again for the rest of my life …"

Xiao Letian looked at the Russian fleet who was getting further and further away from him. He and Xiang Ying looked at each other and smiled.

Just then, Zai Chun's voice sounded out from outside the command cabin, "Master! Look east! There is a big island! "

Everyone looked towards the direction that Zai Chun was pointing. There was indeed a trace of land at the southeastern end, and looking back at the map before looking at the location of the Zhiyuan Warship, they were sure that it was Taiwan.

"That is Taiwan Island! "This is an island that has yet to be developed even up till now. It's a pity that we don't have the time this time. If there's a chance next time, I will definitely bring you to the island and take a look …"

Zai Chun ran back into the command room and laid on the chart of the sea to carefully study the Taiwan Island's map. Why? "Why is it not being developed …"

Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, "Only god knows what the people in Beijing are thinking. Since the time of the dryad …. That's right, it is Fu Hui's mother, the Fuche. After he resolved the rebellion on Taiwan, she should have taken the opportunity to open up this treasure island, but I don't know what you all are thinking about this island, and sealed it away afterwards … "

"Until now, the imperial government still has three big prohibitions. The first is to prohibit the people of the mainland from crossing the sea to come here, the second is to forbid the Han people of Taiwan from entering into contact with the people of the Gao Shan race, and the third is to forbid the forging of iron weapons by private individuals …"

"Think about it. With these three bans, do you really think this island can be developed?"
