Chapter 143 Lushun

The unique geographical conditions made the place a famous military port in later generations. The Beiyang Navy in the late Qing Dynasty used this as its home port to build sea-to-sea turrets in Huangjinshan and other places, and established a solid defense line on land on the hills around the back.

However, the Qing Dynasty, who had such excellent defensive advantages, still could not withstand the Japanese attacks and easily fell into the hands of the Japanese army in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Later, Japan and Russia fought here again. The Qing Dynasty calmly declared neutrality. The so-called Japanese military god Nogi Hinomi fought here and shocked the world with bloody attack and defense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About two quarters of an hour later, the Dongjiang three-masted ship was about to sail three miles away from the coast outside the Lushunkou. Zhao Hai took the three-section monocular telescope given by Zheng Sen to look at the head of the Lushun city. A two-mile small town about two hundred steps away from the coast came into Zhao Hai's eyes.

Zhao Hai raised his hand and said loudly: "Take the flagship to the Fubo to hand over the flag words."

"No, I'm not going to obey the order!" Fang Yuanshan bowed and shouted loudly at Han Mangzhong: "Mr. Zhao has an order to hand over the flagship to the Fubo to receive the flag-line.

"No, I will accept the order." Han Mangzhong bowed and shouted loudly at Wangdou: "Mr. Zhao has an order to call the flagship of the Fubo to hand over the flag words."

The Wangdou flag bearer, who was on standby at any time, quickly took two small red flags more than three feet high from his back, and quickly and repeatedly played a group of identical flags in the direction of the Fubo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the end of the city of Lushun, Nalashu looked at the white sails covering the sky and the sun for several miles away. Out of the natural fear of the fishing and hunting people of the fishing and hunting nations, he became unconsciously afraid. After a while, he said loudly: "There are cannons on the ship of the Southern Barbarians, and they are not allowed to leave the city. Send people to notify the barracks outside the North Gate to guard the barracks, and everyone checks the city defense again."

"Well, the servant obeys the order." A flag kid knelt on one knee, and quickly turned around and left after receiving the order.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But in a moment, on the Fubo, the flag bearer who was in charge of watching the watch, saw the flag verbs on the Dongjiang River.

"Mr. Zheng Qian, the Dongjiang ship has a flagship handover flag."

"Quickly respond to the flag, lower the flagship flag, and the entire army accepts the command of the flagship Dongjiang." Zheng Sen said loudly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Captain, the Fubo responded to the flag and lowered the flagship flag." The Wangdou flag bearer on the Dongjiang River said loudly to Han Mangzhong.

Before Han Mangzhong could speak, Zhao Hai spoke again and said loudly to Han Mangzhong: "Rise the flagship flag quickly!"

"No, I'm not obeying the order!" Han Mangzhong bowed to accept the order, and then shouted loudly to a group of sailors: "Mr. Zhao has an order, and immediately raise the flagship flag."

But in a moment, with the joint efforts of several sailors, a red flag embroidered with a hideous tiger head was raised.

When the red hideous tiger head was hung high, ships of all sizes quickly responded to the flags. For a moment, flags fluttered on the sea surface, gathering into a red ocean~~~~

"Boats of all sizes lower their sails, quickly send ships to measure hydrology and water depth," Zhao Hai said loudly again.

"No, I am obeying the order." Fang Yuanshan bowed and said loudly, then shouted to the flag bearer on the watchtower: "Order Weihai Water Camp to send a survey ship to measure hydrology and water depth. The Water Camp Marine Corps will cover the rear, and the Fujian Navy will be on standby."

"Nuo" flag bearer shouted loudly, and then quickly took off two small red flags from his back, and in four directions, southeast, west and north, they made the same three sets of flag words in turn.

Most of the ships that received the flag utterance began to sail, including the Dongjiang, Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Haizhou, Fushun, Ningyuan, Liaoyang, and Shenyang, each of which had two No. 5 sentry ships sailed out and sailed towards the Dongjiang.

"All the Marines in the Water Camp are ready to board the twenty nearby 5 mail ships, cover the surveyors to measure the hydrology and water depth, check their own wooden arrows, check their armor, check their bamboo armor, check~~~~~" Fang Yuanshan shouted to the messenger.

The messenger bowed and took over the order, quickly took down the two black flags more than three feet high behind him, and played a group of flags to the Dongjiang fleet.
