The Russians were already confused just now. The Zhiyuan, who went to the meeting alone, was extremely arrogant, and then the Xiaozi and the remaining blood flag appeared unreasonably, which proved that Xiao Letian himself was on the warship.

At this moment, a stranger flag appeared, and it was a bright yellow flag embroidered with a golden dragon. Who does this mean?

After all, the Qing Dynasty was a country with medieval thinking. There was no modern concept of national flag in the court. In real history, it was not until after the establishment of the Beiyang, Li Hongzhang said that in order to show the identity of the Qing Dynasty warship on the sea, he designed the national flag of the Qing Dynasty.

And now it was only 1869. Now, let alone Europeans don’t know what the national flag of the Qing Dynasty looks like, even the Qing people themselves don’t know what the national flag is.

However, when the five-clawed golden dragon flag appeared, everyone could only think of one person, because dragon culture is unique to the Chinese and yellow worship is unique to the Chinese. Combining these two can only prove that the person with the noblest identity in the Qing Dynasty appeared.

Vinia's brain was about to shut down. He was a qualified warship commander but not an excellent politician. He was too bad at analyzing such things. He suddenly found that he had been bound by invisible ropes.

"Can you still fire the artillery? Can you still fight this war? A politician Xiao Letian is already a very difficult politician. If the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was also on top, if I accidentally injured or killed it... Is this a merit? Or is it a crime?"

No one can answer his question, because no one has encountered such a situation. In modern European history, examples of killing kings or even emperors are very rare. The British have killed them, and that was the action of the merchant group, and a mercantilist empire that never sets.

The French also killed the emperor, and the result was the outbreak of the Great Revolution, which made the French a synonym for unorganized, undisciplined and free and scattered in Europe.

These two massacres against the king and the emperor were exchanged for collective condemnation by the entire European aristocratic group. During the French Revolution, Europe even formed an anti-French alliance, and all the kings united to avenge Louis XVI.

It is not that they have a personal relationship with Louis XVI. Everything is just a matter of hurting the fox and the rabbit. If you can kill the French emperor today, you can kill Austria, Prussia, and Tsarist Russian emperor tomorrow, such a scene is not something that European kings like to see.

Therefore, Napoleon III's two defeats were exchanged for imprisonment rather than beheading, including after the Franco-Prussian War in history, Napoleon III was not judged but was exiled in Britain.

Even after World War I, the King of Prussia, of course, had been renamed His Majesty the German Emperor, and the German Emperor William II. He is the young grandson who is currently studying in front of Queen Victoria of England.

After the defeat in World War I and Germany, William II was not judged. Instead, he spent his old age under the protection of the Queen of Dutch, giving him a castle, fiefdom, and a lot of wealth, allowing him to enjoy the emperor's rich life until his death.

Therefore, it is a tradition in the European aristocratic circle that does not kill the king. You can defeat your opponent, but you cannot kill the opponent. This is the rule, because you don’t know when you will be defeated by another king. Who will protect your life at that time?

Now Vinya and Stefansky are facing such a big problem. Emperor Tongzhi is so noble that even Tsar Alexander II dare not order him to die. How dare these little officers act rashly?

If Emperor Tongzhi really kills, triggering a full-scale war between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, these little shrimps will have to behead their heads and throw themselves into the wilderness first!

The battlefield could not tolerate any hesitation. Stefansky was the first to react. He yelled hysterically, "Scam! This is all a scam! Xiao Letian personally conquers me. I believe that I will never believe that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty personally conquers me... Fire guns! All warships fire guns!"

Vinya and Stefansky were completely fired with their eyes closed. They really did not dare to face unknown fate. A chill came from their hearts, almost freezing them.

Time almost stopped, and the world seemed to be replaying in slow motion. The Russian right-wing fleet fired heavy artillery at the same time, and the sound of water columns soaring into the sky in the sea resounded through the sky.

Zhiyuan was caught in five bombs in an instant, and the explosion of fire almost wrapped the entire hull. The unprotected sailor's corpse rolled into the sky, and was torn to pieces by the air waves.

But nothing could stop the Zhiyuan's footsteps. The heavy armor passed the test with full marks. No shell caused fatal damage. The iron armor was only burned black and slightly deformed, and there was no sign of being penetrated.

At this moment, the Zhiyuan was fully powered, and it passed through the narrow gap directly between the starboard side of the Diamond and the Polar Frigate.

Now is the time for Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi to perform. Xiao Letian, wearing the military uniform of the prime minister, and Emperor Tongzhi, wearing the dragon robe, stood at the viewing window of the bridge and risked his life to issue combat orders.

"All short-range artillery, Gatling machine cannon...fire at full speed! Kill the enemy with vitality..."

"The main gun fires, sank the enemy ship..."

Zhiyuan not only has three 210 caliber main guns, but also has a 6-inch caliber Armstrong breech secondary gun on both sides of the battleship, a 57mm caliber Harves rapid-fire gun, a 37mm caliber Harves driver's gun, and a 0.45-inch caliber 6-barrel wheeled Green cannon...

This is a floating firepower output platform on the sea. In short-range combat, no warship can withstand such firepower density.

Boom boom boom... Armstrong's rear-loading guns were wailing, and the rolling sailors' bodies fell into the sea. Hutchikas' rapid-fire guns of various calibers created a sea of ​​fire on the deck, and blood and blood were splattered everywhere.

As for the Green Cannon, it is a meat grinder on the battlefield. Wherever there are dense sailors, the Gatling Cannon is taken seriously.

The gun team led by Lin Zhen was completely crazy. The representative of the Ryukyu local faction tore open the buttons of his military uniform and shirt, rushed over and grabbed a thrust Gatlin and fired wildly.

Twist... Gatlin's copper sound is like playing the piano bass keys, and the music of death is extremely gorgeous!

"It's so satisfying! It's so exciting... Unlimited shooting, don't be stingy with ammunition, kill until his mother doesn't know them, kill them until they dream that we all have to wet their pants..."

The proud northern knight passed through the formation, pouring out a sea of ​​fire, killing two Russian warships.

The most important thing is that during the entire battle, Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi stood on the left and right side of the command cabin, risking their lives to watch the entire battle process up close.

Of course, the figures of the two of them have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Russian officers and soldiers. Only now did they realize that the flying flags were not strategic deceptions at all.

The Chinese really started to fight desperately!
Chapter completed!
