"Dongxiangjun..." After the palace dinner, I had a whim and ordered Liu Buchan to bring the awakened Dongxiang Heihachiro over and then inspect the palace.

On the table in front of me was his seized personal belongings, a sharp dagger, a small seal, and a pistol, and there was nothing else except this.

I picked up the seal and glanced at Dongxiang. I saw him kneeling on the ground, with his hands tied back, but his body was not spread on his knees, but was straight and straight. His long, thin face, his eyes were not feeling tired at all, and he stared at me unyieldingly.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying. We are the Kitty Hawk, the Imperial Japanese Navy, who accidentally entered your country's waters due to training to trek. Please forgive me." Dongxiang said these words in a low voice.

An interpreter had already translated it, and I smiled coldly and said, "Dongxiangjun is a tough guy, but your subordinates may not be. At this time, do you still want to deceive me?" I patted the seal on the desk and stood up.

Dongxiang was short at first, and at this moment he was quibbling again, which made me feel disgusted for no reason. He waved his hand and said, "I'll pay my respects to Yangming forever! Do you think I don't know you Dongxiang Heihachiro? Humph!"

"Your Majesty..." After hearing the translation, Dongxiang was shocked and looked at me weakly and said, "Since that's the case, please give your majesty the death."

"Hmph. You have been obsessed with Wang Shouren throughout your life. Mr. Yangming has been in trouble and has only one or two good times. If you are like you, you will lose all your lives."

Dongxiang looked at me in confusion and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Since you don't kill Dongxiang, please release Dongxiang. Dongxiang is an imperial soldier and cannot be humiliated." After that, he glared at Liu Buchan.

I snorted coldly and said, "It's not impossible to let you go." I thought to myself that this person is indeed talented, but unfortunately he is a Japanese. Since the Nagasaki incident, anti-China voices in Japan have increased day by day. How can I take advantage of the opportunity of this incident?

I asked Liu Buchan, who was almost unable to control his anger, to go out first, and only the translator, Dongxiang and a few guards were left in the room.

I waved and asked the guards to untie the rope behind him. Dongxiang looked at me in surprise and said, "Your Majesty really gave you a favor?", stretched out his right hand and said, "Dongxiang does not dare to ask Your Majesty for weapons, I just ask Your Majesty to give you a seal."

I laughed and said, "Dongxiang, you worship Mr. Yangming, but why are you enemies with Mr. Yangming's country?"

"Your Majesty clearly understands that Dongxiang has just said that I am an imperial soldier, and soldiers regard obedience as their duty!" Dongxiang did not dare to stand up, kneel down on the ground, and made a statement.

"Well, that's right. Since that's the case, this is your country's national behavior. Then let your country bear the consequences of this incident!" I gritted my teeth and said with a grim voice.

After a silence, Dongxiang was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. Dongxiang is a personal act this time."

I sat down, started to enjoy the seal, waited for a while, raised my head and said, "Continue talking, where did you come from and why did you come." After saying that, I lowered my head and waited for him to speak.

"Your Majesty, Togo came from Nagasaki, and came by his detour."

Humph, this kid's mouth is really hard.

"Palm!" I slapped the table. Two guards came up and slapped the left and right. The force was very heavy, and bleeding immediately dripped from the corner of Dongxiang's mouth.

"Do you still want to lie?" I leaned out and said, "Do you think I am the lord who can be deceived, and the Qing Dynasty is the lord who can be deceived!"

"Dongxiang doesn't dare." Dongxiang wiped the bloodshot and stopped talking. Seeing that he was like this, it was not easy to impose any more punishment on him, so he sneered and said, "Dongxiang, you are a tough guy, I respect you, but your subordinates may not be the same as you, haha."

Dongxiang still didn't say anything. I smiled and stood up and sent it to him and said, "Take it back. I know that Dongxiang is a talented and ethical person. I will let them not be punished by you. Think about it carefully. Do you want your country to start a war against the Qing Dynasty now? Everything is up to you. Take him down." I turned to the guards and said.

"Let's wait!" Dongxiang took the seal with both hands, knelt down and kowtowed, "Please be kind to your Majesty, Dongxiang is willing to confess his guilt."

Haha, this is the wise choice. I know he is a professional soldier who is loyal to the emperor and Japan. He knows that since I can ask his name from his subordinates, I can naturally ask everything I need to know. If all this will cause harm to Japan, he will definitely compromise with me.

As expected, Japan had his supply room between Nagasaki and Weihai. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Korean empress dowager, the king was foolish, Queen Min Daquan and the Dayuanjun who was sent back to China by China, Dongxiang, who was the chief of staff of Wu Zhenshou Prefecture, knew that this was a good time to take risks and sent a navy of 500 people to occupy an unknown island not far east of Jeju Island. No one discovered it. Dongxiang was good at operating there and named it Takeshima. (This place is purely affiliation, and the real Takeshima can't live in that army. Don't be too serious. Haha, but during the dispute between the two Takeshima between Japan and South Korea, the evidence presented by South Korea was an imperial edict by Emperor Guangxu in the 16th year of Guangxu, arbitrating someone to manage Doshima. The evidence presented by the Japanese was a map of Japan drawn by the Japanese during the Ming Dynasty, with the word Takeshima marked on it.)

When Dongxiang, who learned that the British Chinese fleet was going to participate in the Chinese emperor's review of the navy, also learned from the Beijing diplomats that a mysterious negotiation was being held between China and Britain, keenly felt that the Chinese fleet and the Qing navy were likely to become opponents of the Great Japanese Empire in the future, so he called the Kitty Hawk torpedo boat, the fastest-speed Japanese navy, to remove all the equipment that can be removed, serve as a reconnaissance ship, and went to the danger to investigate the movements and strength of the Chinese and British navy. The Kitty Hawk's speed was 18:5 knots, and by Dongxiang, it could reach more than 19 knots at the fastest speed. No wonder Zhiyuan, which had a lucky chance to sink him, and the old Chinese fleet had no choice but to do anything to him.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be glad that the shot was really accurate. If it weren't for that shot, Dongxiang, who had experience, would have withdrawn, and there would be no way out of him.

Haha, God really bless me, the fake emperor.

Now that I made up my mind, I would like to reward this gunner. (If anyone wants to be this gunner, I will write it in.)

After Dongxiang's confession was over, I was unable to resolve it for a while, so I asked the guards to take him down and summon Liu Buchan. I was determined to polish his character. I did not talk about Dongxiang's affairs and asked about his preparations. Liu Buchan explained to me the preparations for the exercise.

All Chinese fleets will withdraw from Liugong Island in the early morning tomorrow and launch a simulated attack on Liugong Island at noon tomorrow to test the Qing Navy's home port garrison. The Chinese fleet also used this to exercise its penetration ability. When I heard this, it was not bad, but live ammunition was impossible, so how could I calculate the results? I asked in confusion.

Liu Buchan patiently explained that the firepower killing ability of both sides is calculated based on the hit rate and launch frequency. Each ship has the corresponding defense strength and is exhausted by fire. When it is exhausted, it will withdraw from the battlefield. The Qing Navy can also leave the port to meet the enemy, and as long as it enters the range, it will start to calculate the killing.

So that's it. The scene of the fleet's sea conflict that I originally hoped would not appear. I mentioned it with a little disappointment.

Liu Buchan smiled proudly and said, "The emperor is wise, this is what the British meant. Because our strength is stronger than the British, they thought they would definitely fail at sea duel, so they proposed this plan. The technical numbers of both sides were from Admiral Lang. I also felt bored."

Well, this will allow the Navy and others to practice their skills, so I will do this tomorrow. I said to Liu Buchan now: "Zixiang, if this is the case, you, the admiral, don't waste much effort. What I mean is that you will win and lose happily. This exercise is not a real war. Don't be greedy for those false reputations. Remember, there is no need to be too many failures for a hundred times. If you really go to actual combat, you will feel too many failures for one time."

"I respectfully receive the holy teachings." Liu Buchan bowed and said, "If the emperor has no other orders, I dare not disturb the emperor's rest, and I will retreat."

"Zixiang, don't worry, I have a few words to tell you..." I took his hand and looked at him. Shenfei's future generations, and the sad song of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 was raised in my mind again. I said excitedly: "I have a deep hope for you. For my sake, I must learn from Admiral Lang in the future. If you become an admiral, you must strictly control it. I also know the bad habits below. You should take good care of me. The navy is my hope. I will hand it all in your hands."

Liu Buchan looked at me with moist eyes and choked and said, "If I don't know what's going on, I'm not a human being. Please rest assured. I will do my best to lead the navy well."

"Well, I believe you." I sighed, walked forward with my hands behind my back, and said as I walked, "Zixiang, I have something to advise you. I will ban opium soon, don't suck it. If my naval admiral was taken by the yamen, where will I put my face?", turned to look at him and smiled, "I know it's difficult to quit that thing, but it's just a man's word, it's not difficult to quit." Unlocked the imperial sword made by Emperor Qianlong from Beijing and handed it to him, "This knife was left by Emperor Gaozong, so I will give it to you. When you really want to quit it in the future, take this knife out, maybe you can remember what I said to you today."

Liu Buchan knelt on the ground, bursting with tears, but he didn't dare to reach out to take the knife. I knew he was afraid that it would be a serious crime to have a weapon in front of him, so he stuffed the knife into his hand and said, "Zixiang, remember what I said, let's kneel down."

After saying that, I pulled away, and only heard Liu Buchan crying behind me, crying and saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely be warned and train my troops for you!"
