On the night of the 17th day of the first month of 1895, Liugong Island.
The dark night enveloped this world, as if it was airtight, making people feel extremely gloomy and depressed.
Outside the port, the Japanese warships floated up and down with the waves. Their black muzzles were aimed at the mouth of Liugong Island, and they were like armored dragons that were tightly gripping the throat of the Beiyang Navy.
In the broken command module of the Zhenyuan warship, a stalwart and determined man in the Northern Navy uniform was staring at himself in the mirror and sighing.
"I didn't expect that I would transmigrate to the 1894 - 1895 period and become the left-wing commander of the Beiyang Navy, the captain of the Zhenyuan warship, Yang Yonglin!”
In his previous life, Yang Yonglin was also a naval officer. He was very familiar with this humiliating history.
Tonight, Northern Navy Admiral Ding Ruchang refused to surrender and committed suicide.
In history, Yang Yonglin, the commander of the left wing and the commander of the Zhenyuan warship, rejected the threat of the surrender party and committed suicide. He was the last high-ranking general of the Beiyang Navy to commit suicide.
Moreover, he used a heroic method of death for a soldier-shooting himself!
At the thought of this, Yang Yonglin, who had transmigrated, could not help but smile bitterly.
In his previous life, as a naval officer, he once dreamed of traveling back to the 1894 - 1895 period and fighting alongside Deng Shichang, Liu Buchan, and other naval generals to rewrite this humiliating history.
However, he did not expect that he would actually transmigrate to the last day of the 1894 - 1895 naval battle.
A lone army on an isolated island, with no reinforcements!
How could he defeat the powerful Japanese Combined Fleet?
Just as Yang Yonglin was thinking hard about a countermeasure, a voice sounded.
"Weapon modification system activated. Host, please welcome the novice gift pack!”
System?
Yang Yonglin stood up excitedly!
In his previous life, he had read many web novels, but he did not expect such a thing to happen to him.
Like a person in the dark seeing a light, Yang Yonglin excitedly clicked the button.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1000 attribute points. You can add them to your weapon and modify its performance!”
Yang Yonglin's eyes immediately lit up!
One of the main reasons why the Beiyang Navy lost to the Japanese in the 1894 - 1895 naval battle was that the Beiyang Navy's equipment was far behind the Japanese Combined Squadron.
After the Beiyang Navy became an army, they did not add a single ship or cannon. At the same time, the Japanese used the entire country to build a powerful fleet. Their equipment surpassed the Beiyang Navy by an entire generation.
The Japanese warship Yoshino alone was equipped with 12 Hatchkais rapid-fire cannons, while the 305mm Krupp main cannon of the Beiyang Navy was still a backward cannon.
It took three minutes to fire a shell, and the Japanese warships '120- 150mm rapid-fire cannons could fire five to eight shells in a minute.
Moreover, these shells were bitter acid shells, which were one generation ahead of the solid armor-piercing shells commonly used by the Beiyang Navy.
-----
After sighing with emotion, Yang Yonglin clicked on the attribute buff.
An hour later, the dilapidated ship emitted a brand new light.
"Host, the modification of the ship is complete. The data is as follows.”
A pop-up window popped up!
Main Cannon 305mm Krupp Cannon: Fire rate increased to 5 rounds per minute
47mm Hackzord Rapid-Fire Cannon: Upgraded to 150mm large-caliber rapid-fire gun, firing rate 10 rounds per minute
[Torpedo Launcher Tubes: Increase accuracy by 3 times, increase range by 100 times, up to 800 meters]
[Steam boiler: 150%, maximum power output 120%]
[Armor: Defense 150%]
"Ding! Warship modification completed. Remaining 200 attribute points, can be exchanged for small weapons and supplies!”The system notification sounded again.
The Weapon Modification System's attribute points could not only be used to modify and improve the weapon's performance, but they could also be used to exchange for small weapons from the system's arsenal.
Yang Yonglin spent all his attribute points in one go and exchanged for 1000 main cannons, 3000 rapid-fire cannons, 50 torpedoes, and 20 artillery rangefinders.
"Yang Junmen, Yang Junmen-"
Outside the cabin, there was a commotion.
It turned out that ever since Admiral Ding Ruchang committed suicide, the surrender faction led by Niu Bingxu was determined to elect Yang Yonglin as their representative to negotiate with the Japanese Fleet.
At this moment, Niu Bingxu was escorted by a group of marines to the dock.
"Let Yang Junmen speak!"
Niu Bingxu shouted at the ship.
Clang!
The door opened, and Yang Yonglin stood upright on the bridge, his eyes like cold stars.
Niu Bingxu was shocked by his heroic spirit. His lips quivered as he spoke with a trembling voice,"Yang Junmen, Ding Junmen has already committed suicide. Now that the situation is over, we should surrender."
As soon as Niu Bingxu finished speaking, a blond foreigner also spoke in stiff Chinese,"Yang, I, Maglu, agree with Lord Niu. As a soldier, you have done your duty. It is time to go home."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sea breeze was like a knife cutting his face. Yang Yonglin was motionless on the bridge, as if he was a statue.
Niu Bingxu shouted again.
"You guys, come up and say it!"
Yang Yonglin walked down the bridge and opened the cabin door.
Niu Bingxu and Maglu boarded the ship and entered the hatch.
The door was slammed shut. The Northern Navy officers stood on the dock, waiting with complicated emotions.
A smile appeared on the faces of the surrendering party. At this point, there was really nothing to say. Surrender was the only way out. As for the officers and soldiers of the war faction, their faces were filled with grief and indignation.
Many of them treated the warship as their home, fulfilling the promise of " where the ship is, the people are."
From Deng Shichang, who died in the Huangdao Sea Battle, to Liu Buchan and Ding Ruchang, who committed suicide, these tenacious naval officers and soldiers all demonstrated this kind of fearless courage.
Even if he had to shed his last drop of blood, he would live and die with this glorious fleet!
Some of the soldiers even pulled out their pistols and prepared to commit suicide.
At this moment, two gunshots broke the silence of the night.
The noise on the dock came to an abrupt halt!
Many soldiers raised their heads and looked at the ship.
The cabin door opened, and Niu Bingxu and Maglu fell onto the deck, their blood flowing down the deck and into the sea.
Yang Yonglin raised his six-round pistol and said coldly,""I, Yang Yonglin, as the commander of the Northern Navy's left wing, swear to the death that I will not surrender! If you dare to surrender again, kill!"
