Cui Chenglin, the commander of the 1st Division of the Fourth Army of the Korean Army, was born in a family of a small businessman in Busan. In order to make a living, his father ran between Busan and Shanghai all year round, engaged in trade. Although he made a little money, his father's health was getting worse due to excessive running and fatigue.

Cui Chenglin was already seventeen years old in 1852. In the autumn of this year, his father, who hoped that his son would inherit his father's business, took him with him for the first time and boarded a merchant ship to Shanghai.

Unfortunately, just when the merchant ship they were on was about to arrive in Shanghai, a British warship that rushed over actually smashed the merchant ship that "refused to avoid it in time" to pieces.

Although Cui Chenglin escaped by chance, his father has since been separated from his yin and yang.

In this way, Cui Chenglin, who was stubborn by nature, did not rush to return to his home in Busan. Instead, with a deep hatred for the pirate-like British people, he became a member of the Xiaodao Society, a branch of the Tiandihui Society, which rescued him from the sea. He followed Liu Lichuan, Pan Qiliang and others, and joined the team of the Shanghai Xiaodao Society uprising that vigorously rose up the following year without hesitation.

Whether at the beginning of the uprising or in the subsequent battles of Xiaodaohui to defend Shanghai, Cui Chenglin, a subordinate of Pan Qiliang, always showed a courageous spirit of not fearing life and death. When cooperating with the subsequent battles of the British fleet on the Huangpu River in the Celestial Red Army, Cui Chenglin sacrificed his life and performed particularly prominently.

After Shanghai successfully recovered, although Cui Chenglin left five knife and gunshot wounds on his body, he also received unanimous praise from his comrades around him.

Afterwards, Cui Chenglin went north to fight Shandong and went out of the way to kill Tsarist Russia, both in the complex environment of guarding Shanghai or in the sequence of the Red Seventh Army. He made many contributions again and again.

In 1858, Cui Chenglin, who had become a glorious member of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Tongmenghui, entered the Red Army University to further his studies. After completing two years of study, Cui Chenglin, who had long since transformed from the Red Seventh Army into the old unit of the Rural Seventh Army, served as the lieutenant colonel battalion commander of the 1st battalion of the most elite secret service regiment of the Rural Seventh Army.

In 1863, Cui Chenglin became the leader of the secret service regiment and was promoted to the rank of colonel.

Time passed for sixteen years, and when he set foot on his hometown again after 16 years of separation, Cui Chenglin felt that what he had obtained would be another supreme glory.

Because he and his comrades wanted to kill the Japanese robbers who were still ravaging and damaging his hometown and relatives with his own hands, and completely liberate his hometown and relatives.

In fact, it was a last resort to the reason why Takamoto Saigo drove his "miscellaneous" team that he had temporarily pieced together from Busan City.

Because he thought that the power of his North Korean dispatched troops was too strong and there was no worries from the sea at all, from the day he first occupied Busan, Saigo Takaho did not make any more considerations except for roughly repairing the damaged walls of Busan City.

No wonder, he used to spend his time thinking about how to attack, and the entire North Korea was about to be put into his pocket soon, so he had no reason to worry about what was behind his butt.

Even later, when the war situation on the Korean Peninsula had reached a stalemate, Saigo Takaho only asked for the front line. Or all support points near the front line must strengthen the city just in case. But he still didn't care much about Busan where he was in charge, after all, his fleet was still there at that time.

Until the first few months of this year, when the naval fleet of the North Korean dispatched troops of Navy General Inoue Keung had been completely destroyed, Takamori Saigo finally felt that he had to think carefully about what was behind his butt.

Therefore, Saigo Takamoto ordered the reinforcement and transformation of various coastal artillery batteries in Busan, and according to actual combat needs, he carefully rushed to build the Busan anti-landing defense line. However, he did not take more practical measures for Busan City.

Deep in his heart, he actually had quite a fantasy about the strong aid from the island.

Therefore, when he was watching his so-called anti-logging defense line collapse, he knew that completely retreating to Busan City would be a dead end, so he could only hope to fight back against the Korean army with all his might.

But Saigo Ryoho did not expect that the opponent he met was not only extremely fierce, but also had a considerable understanding of Busan City.

What Saigo Takamoto didn't expect was that there was a more powerful bomb buried beside him, just waiting for the best time to make a loud bang.

An Zhongwen was born in a poor scholarly family in the suburbs of Hefei, Anhui. He was unable to gain fame by doing things through writing and writing as his parents expected. He was too poor because his family was too poor, but just to be able to make a full meal. When he was only eighteen years old, he gritted his teeth and practiced the courage of Li Hongzhang and his father.

With the defeat of the Li family and his son, An Zhongwen had to follow Li Hongzhang's defeated generals. He first left his hometown and fled north of the Yellow River, and then became a member of the loyal and righteous rescue of Lord Li Hongzhang.

This time, An Zhongwen no longer followed Lord Li Hongzhang to taste the bitter fruits of fighting against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army one by one, but was lucky enough to be included in the list of those who went to Britain to study abroad.

An Zhongwen, who was studying naval knowledge in the UK, first became a close friend of Fan Zeng after repeated interactions, and finally became a like-minded person of Fan Zeng.

After the "Qing Dynasty" completely collapsed, under the unified arrangement of the Taipingtian Ministry of Interior, An Zhongwen and Fan Zeng and others entered the Japanese Navy with the fearless spirit of "swearing to be irreconcilable with the Taipingtian Kingdom".

The group of "Naval Elites of the Qing Dynasty" led by An Zhongwen did not drive warships and gallop on the blue sea like Fan Zeng and others, but instead, as naval service personnel, insisted on fighting on the logistics front of the Japanese Navy.

After the Japanese invasion of North Korea began, An Zhongwen's team successfully entered the logistics headquarters of the Japanese Navy fleet of the North Korean Expeditionary Force in Inoue.

After the entire army of Inakami was wiped out, with the help of Saigo Takamoto's strong assistance, An Zhongwen, who was already idle at this time, first actively helped Oyama Iron build a new fleet.

After he completely sent Dashanyan and his fleet to the Dragon Palace, he worked hard day and night and cleverly, not only helped Takashi Saigo to form a patrol fleet again, but also obtained the absolute command of the fleet.

The reason why Takamoto Saigo did not have any understanding of the whereabouts of the Korean army's fleet in advance was that he naturally asked the "gift" of this always active, down-to-earth and willing Major An Zhongwen.
