Chapter 108 Dingyuan Main Cannon Hanging Clothes?

Yang Hao first asked to visit the "Dingyuan Ship".

Liu Buchan was actually very unhappy to let a businessman get on his ship. This is not to say that he pays special attention to confidentiality--the two ships of Dingzhen are all known as the guns and performances, including the Japanese.

These days, the Qing Dynasty did not have much confidentiality from top to bottom. However, Yang Hao sent him the most important and precious high-explosive grenade, and solved the problem of replacing the rapid-fire cannon for them. With Li Hongzhang's license, he could only agree.

If he agreed, his face kept getting long, like a cloudy day, and he had no smile. On the contrary, the British deputy general manager Taylor was particularly interested in this strange guy who came out of thin air. Especially the fact that he could replace the rapid-fire cannon, which was evil inside and outside, and he always wanted to know what the Chinese did.

However, the people who came out of Yang Hao always had a "confidential" string in their heads. The entire construction process, including the lifted machinery and equipment, is strictly prohibited from viewing anyone outsiders. Diesel generators, welding machines, acetylene cutting, etc., have special boxes carried in and out. The foreigners want to know? There is no door!

Yang Hao is here, and the British think there is an opportunity, including other Germans on the boat, and the British look for opportunities to get close.

Yang Hao didn't give them any good face. These foreigners are not good things. Not to mention what they helped the Beiyang Navy fight, they were just mercenaries with super high salaries, and they were not all professionals. Especially the deputy manager, Taylor, later spread rumors and slander because of his personal grudges with Liu Buchan. This directly led to the suffering of his descendants for a century after Liu Guandao committed suicide!

Later, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, a great director filmed Liu Buchan, he twisted Liu Buchan into a deliberately raised the wrong flag and messed up the fleet array. The first shot was to hurt Ding Ruchang, smoked smoked and raised concubines to gather together to gamble and form a clique for personal gain... Anyway, he did everything evil, which directly led to the culprit of the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1895. The descendants of the Liu family were treated as historical sinners in the midst of the chaos, and they could not even get involved in the party until they died.

Through research and analysis of memoirs written by the foreigners who served in the Beiyang Navy, we can see that their bodies were high above their bones. The sense of superiority based on the white identity, they spent a lot of writing to exaggerate their great role, as if they had left them, the Beiyang Navy fell apart.

Correspondingly, it was the slander and belittlement of the entire Chinese officers and soldiers. In the next hundred years, these materials were repeatedly quoted by countless soft-shelled eggs who had no confidence at all. Then they felt sad that there was such a group of garbage ancestors.

In short, the people of the Beiyang Navy were the culprits who led to the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the humiliation of China for a century. In contrast, the quality of the Japanese navy was of all kinds.

So the question is, in the battle, 187 12-inch shells were fired in 5 and a half hours, hitting 11 rounds. The Japanese Combined Fleet launched 320mm (12-inch is 305mm) shells in 5 and a half hours, hitting 0 rounds.

This is achieved by the speed of the two ironclad ships several knots worse than that of the Japanese Navy's main battleships, and the maximum main gun is only 3 minutes, which is enough for the opponent to run around him and use rapid-fire guns to bombard many rounds.

Yang Hao doesn't believe in anyone else. He only believes in what he knows and sees. At least, he did not see rows of ** and ** halls in Weihai Military Port, nor did he see loose and listless double spearmen.

After getting on the Dingyuan ship, he ran to the bottom of the port main turret and reached out to touch the 305mm Krupp main gun exposed outside. Of course, it was not reachable - the muzzle was 3 meters above the deck!

He jumped to the ground again, but he still couldn't reach it! He was not Yao Ming, and he was not as good as Zhu Jianhua's jumping, so he really couldn't touch it.

Liu Buchan had disliked him, and shouted in anger: "Mr. Yang, what are you doing?"

Yang Hao turned around and smiled brightly at him: "I want to try to touch the ashes in the muzzle, or hang the clothes on!"

Liu Buchan showed a contemptuous expression when he saw the idiot and snorted coldly: "It's ridiculous! Our ship has been diligently caring, so how can we dry clothes in the muzzle? Moreover, how can we dry clothes in such a high place? Since Mr. Yang can get shells and rebuild the hull, how can he not know these common sense?!"

Yang Hao didn't care and smiled and said, "I think so. I'm over 8 meters tall and I can't reach the muzzle when I play basketball all day long. How did I touch the little slut of Hirahachiro Togo?"

"Hmm?! How do you explain this?"

Liu Buchan reacted quickly and immediately felt a strange smell. Why did he pull it on Hirahachiro Togo again? The Japanese did board the Dingyuan ship, but he would not touch it randomly, let alone absurd things like touching the tube.

Yang Hao put away his smile and said meaningfully: "Mr. Liu would have to find someone to take photos inside and outside to prove that the quality of the navy officers and soldiers is good. Otherwise, in a few years, someone will say that your discipline is loose and vulnerable, and the cannon tubes are covered with oil and rarely wiped. This means that the entire Beiyang is loose and scattered, and it is negligent to develop it. If you fight, you can't pull it out or win."

"All nonsense! Who dares to slander such a slander? How can we settle with him?"

Liu Buchan was also anxious and stared at him, and wanted to grab the rumor-producing person and beat him hard.

Yang Hao sighed in his heart. Lord Liu probably wouldn't have imagined how sufficient the self-abuse of some Chinese people in their descendants is!

Such a simple lie is nothing but Japanese Nagasawara Nagasawara made up for his idol Hirahachiro Togo. As a result, the great historian Tang Degang wrote in "The Seventy Years of the Late Qing Dynasty", and then Tian Han changed it to the Hirata ship that had never been to Japan at that time. Later, a director even said that Hirata ship Togo had hung up the warship with clothes, thus successfully pretending to deceive the Beiyang navy, and suddenly fired...

If you make mistakes in a special era without verification ability, then in 1995, Gao Luyan still spread rumors about the writing of "The Navy Dream of the Qing Empire"; he made historical dramas like "Towards the Republic" openly without verification; in 2006, the Pla Military Daily actually wrote this way! The Wenhui Daily also wrote this way!

The Japanese filmed "Sakamami Cloud" is just a rope pulling on the gun position. As we all know, when the weather is clear, pulling ropes on warships and drying clothes is a practice of navies from various countries. How could he distort it and jump to the 305mm main cannon of 3 meters high to dry clothes? There are so many people who believe it?

What was the real situation back then?

Japan's Daily News reported on July 15, 1891 that the reception was held on the Dingyuan ship on the 14th:

The presided over by Ding Ruchang, the admiral of the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty and Li Jingfang, the ambassador to Japan, was held yesterday, at 10 a.m. on the 14th, a grand banquet was held to invite the prominent gentlemen of our country on the flagship "Dingyuan". His Highness Kitashirakawa, Prime Minister Matsufang, and ministers, deputy chiefs, army and naval officers and journalists, about 500 were invited to attend. The small steamboat carried by the Qing Dynasty ship, fluttering the yellow dragon flag, was waiting on the dock since the morning, and sent these guests to the "Dingyuan" ship.

On the Dingyuan ship dressed up, Admiral Ding, Minister Li and the captains of various Qing ships were welcomed by the boarding the ship. As the sound of the military band played, the deck of the Dingyuan ship was prepared with lemonade, ice, and various cigarettes. The displacement, power and other parameters of the Dingyuan ship were introduced above. The captain's room and the officer cabin were decorated with various artworks, as well as bonsai, photos, etc. Although several patients were seeking medical treatment in the military hospital, the cleaning was abnormal... Not long after, at 12 noon, a cold Western meal was held on the deck of the Dingyuan ship. The guests ate and talked, and were finally sent back to the dock in a very satisfied atmosphere. Although the dance party was also prepared and was included in the schedule, the activity had to be suspended because there were too few women.

Enough.

When Yang Hao thought of the materials he had read, those replies that were full of convictions and speculations, he felt ridiculous. It was the 21st century, and these people's thinking still lived a hundred years ago. He enjoyed cursing his ancestors, his ancestors, and belittled his own nation. How distorted are their thoughts!

At this moment, he really wanted to publish the secret photos and let the group open their eyes and take a closer look at what the truth was.

But just thinking about it, I simply gave up this idea. So many people from top to bottom were willing to cover their eyes and talk nonsense. No matter how loud they shouted, they still pretended to be inaudible. It would be better to do something steadily so that this plane would not repeat the tragedy.

Under Liu Buchan's gaze, Yang Hao shook his head and walked around the warship with his hands behind his back.

Through the camera on the chest, I scanned the entire boat’s photos, which are all precious first-hand information! In 2007, no details about these two ironclad ships were disclosed. Although the Cape City in the north spent 50 million to rebuild a ship, it was up to professional presumption and no drawings were found.

When they arrived on the fly bridge and looked into the harbor from afar, Liu Buchan's mood improved slightly when he saw the excitement in Yang Hao's expression. He patted his thick hull and said proudly: "The two ships in Dingzhen are the strongest in the East! With these two ships in the world, whether Japan or other invading enemies, they will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop!"

The main officers who came together nodded in agreement. Regardless of whether they were in the same position as Liu Guan, the warship they were riding on was highly firepower, which was recognized. Naturally and with honor.

Yang Hao shook his head awkwardly: "The strongest? If I see, it's far behind! These two warships are already far behind! Not to mention defeating the Japanese army, it is probably not easy to survive in the naval battle!"

Liu Buchan's face immediately elongated, frowned, suppressed his anger, and snorted coldly: "Oh? I want to listen to what Mr. Yang has to say!"

Yang Hao was not polite at all and pulled it casually: "The two warships in Dingzhen are of great importance, but various technical indicators have long fallen behind! Let's talk about the steel-faced iron armor of this ship, and the British used it themselves. The 'Fuji-class' 10,000-ton battleship that the Japanese just customized this year, even if this technology is adopted! And Germany itself,! The 'Election Emperor' battleship launched this year, is the armor used!"

He said a lot of data without blinking, and immediately shocked Liu Buchan and a group of officers to glar at him--Where did this kid come from the information? How could he be so familiar with the Beiyang Navy and warships from various countries?!
