Under the blue sea and blue sky, a speedboat gallops through the waves.

In front of the deck, Wang Chenhao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea and sky as if he was looking forward to it.

Before leaving, Li Hongzhang and other shogunate groups were in great success for him, and the scene was very big. However, Wang Chenhao's mind and ears only had a person's voice and smile echoed.

"Youyi is just a little woman. She doesn't care about national affairs. She just hopes that you will be your dear wife. Youyi is a little sensible and cannot tolerate others except you. If you don't return, Youyi will never have the intention to survive. Remember!"

Yang Youyi was unable to go to the dock to see him in person due to feudal etiquette rules, but he just asked the Qin to hand over a letter to Wang Chenhao.

Yang Youyi in the letter was completely like a wife asking her husband. No matter what the country's rise and fall, every man can be responsible for his responsibility, but Wang Chenhao must come back alive.

There is also a poem at the bottom of the letter. (ps/: The cruiser is created by itself! Don’t boo after reading it...)

Youyi looked up at the pavilion in the forest, smelled the fragrance of osmanthus in autumn and accompanied the plum blossoms in winter.

When the country is vowed to be in a state of love, we will be separated for the struggle for the country.

The osmanthus flowers fade 30,000 times, and the pavilions are decorated and decorated for five thousand times.

The earth is invincible and the love is even more urgent, and the sea is gone and the rocks are gone.

In just a few words, every word is full of Yang Youyi's deep affection for Wang Chenhao, which is equivalent to tactful force Wang Chenhao to return to her side regardless of the outcome of the war.

This letter may not have any other effect except for making Wang Chenhao love Yang Youyi more, because although Wang Chenhao had the ambition to serve the country, he was limited in loyalty to the Qing Empire and had no determination to die.

How could Wang Chenhao not know this truth when he had returned from war in ancient times? At this time, his unmarried wife was looking forward to it, so how could he not be able to come back?

On the afternoon of the same day, Wang Chenhao and Yang Shixiang returned to Lushun. At the same time, the Beiyang Navy ships also rushed from Weihai Guard to meet. Deng Shichang handed Wang Chenhao's Jiaolong to him intact.

Deng Shichang said that the Jiaolong would attract a large number of foreign devils to watch every day. If Li Zhongtang had not given a strict order and sent heavy troops to guard the enemy, Deng Shichang's ten personal soldiers would not be able to stop the foreign devils at all.

Wang Chenhao understood that the Jiaolong was attracting more and more attention from the great powers, and he had to find a way to hide it in the future.

"By the way! I heard that Chen Hao, you are highly valued by the master of the Central Hall. What actions will we do this time? Let me reveal it to you!" Deng Shichang didn't know the plan of the sneak attack, but he knew some of the details, so he asked this question.

Soon, Liu Buchan, Lin Taizeng, Ye Zugui and other naval generals next to him immediately surrounded him and raised their ears.

Wang Chenhao was not wary of them and was about to say he could hear from them, but was stopped by Ding Ruchang.

When Wang Chenhao saw Ding Ruchang's harshness, he stopped talking. The others were bored and they all dispersed.

Ding Ruchang signaled Wang Chenhao and Yang Shixiang to follow him into the conference room of the Navy Office. No one else participated, which immediately made all the Beiyang Navy officers and soldiers dumbfounded. They secretly asked Wang Chenhao to meet Li Hongzhang and Lord Li Zhongtang. After returning, their value soared.

In the conference room, the three of them discussed the specific plan in detail.

Before this, Ding Ruchang had received a secret letter from Li Hongzhang. In the past, telegrams were used, but since Wang Chenhao said that the Japanese colluded with great powers to secretly monitor the Qing Empire's telegram lines, Li Hongzhang was surprised and knew that this operation was related to the survival of the Beiyang Navy and his personal honor and disgrace, so he immediately switched to traditional secret letters to issue orders.

The basic preparations have been arranged, and the detailed combat plan is brought by Yang Shixiang with documents.

After seeing the plan, Ding Ruchang looked at Wang Chenhao in surprise and sighed in peace: "No wonder Lord Zhongtang attaches so much importance and caution. This plan can be called a shocking action. I am afraid that the Japanese would not think of his boldness!"

Yang Shixiang smiled and said, "It is because this plan is so bold that even the Japanese dare not think about it, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Ding Ruchang nodded and said, "Mr. Zhongtang has already put aside his words! We are supporting roles in this action, Chen Hao is the protagonist, I will follow your arrangements!"

How dare Wang Chenhao arrange Ding Ruchang? Even if Li Hongzhang says that, he can't really take it seriously!

"How dare!" Wang Chenhao said quickly: "I am only responsible for cleaning the mines on the waterway. The highlight must be done by Lord Ding himself!"

Ding Ruchang smiled and nodded, it was undeniable that his words just said were just to test Wang Chenhao. After all, how could a huge Beiyang Navy allow a twenty-year-old boy to command? Even if Li Hongzhang nodded and Wang Chenhao was the benefactor of the Beiyang Navy, he could not command the Beiyang Navy with his qualifications. Of course, perhaps Deng Shichang would listen to him, but others would definitely not be able to accept it easily.

"This operation is related to the survival of the Beiyang Navy. Although I can command the Beiyang Navy to cooperate with the operation, Chen Hao must be very sure! Can the mines in the waterway be removed with confidence?"

Wang Chenhao said: "I dare not say that I am very sure, because I have never removed the mines!"

Ding Ruchang was shocked and said, "You have never removed the mines? If the mines are touched, not only will our plan fail, but you are also in danger!"

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "Mr. Ding is right! I can learn to remove water mines, but it doesn't matter if I can't remove them! Just relying on my Jiaolong detection ability, you can clearly know the specific depth and direction of the mines. Then mark them on the waterway and you can walk around."

Ding Ruchang said in surprise: "Is there such a skill?"

Wang Chenhao smiled proudly and said, "I can demonstrate it to you if you don't believe me!"

Ding Ruchang naturally had to make sure it was done with his own eyes, otherwise he would not dare to go crazy with Wang Chenhao.

The test site was the mines on the Lushun Port channel. In order to prevent anyone from secretly leaking the information to Wang Chenhao, Ding Ruchang temporarily changed the defense location of some mines on the waterway.

After Wang Chenhao dived in the Jiaolong, he activated his sonar and ultrasonic underwater detector to detect the Lushun Port channel, and further determined the size of the mines through an underwater imager. He quickly marked the 123 mines on the main channel, and also marked the 72 mines deployed on the spare channel inside and outside the port clearly.

When Ding Ruchang compared Wang Chenhao's markings with the markings of the mine camp, it was exactly the same, especially the sizes of various mines were also marked, which made him feel relieved.

"I'm relieved now!" Ding Ruchang understood that the most difficult thing was how to avoid the mines deployed by the enemy on the waterway. After solving this problem, the torpedo boats and warships that were attacking could drive in.

However, this does not mean that everything will be fine if you attack Incheon Port. There is still a difficult problem that needs to be solved.

Incheon Port is a commercial port of the Kingdom of Korea. There has never been a decent coastal defense fortifications. Even if there is one, it will be disrepaired and not available.

Japan had just occupied North Korea and built a simple fortress on the only stronghold of the Incheon Port channel on Tsukio Island, a North Korean original coastal defense fortress, and sent 213 Japanese defenders to station them. The 8 200mm fortress cannons they controlled could easily sink any warships on the channel.

It was a great threat, but that was Ding Ruchang's job, and Wang Chenhao couldn't help.

The Japanese Navy ran to the vicinity of Lushun Port from time to time to provoke. The Beiyang Navy deliberately avoided the battle and showed that the enemy was weak.

The Golden Mountain Fortress always bombards the sea with heavy artillery, forcing Japanese warships to dare not get too close.
