Wu Pei, who had just been awarded the commander of the Vladivostok squadron of the North Sea Fleet of the Red Navy, entered the Jinqing Strait and appeared at the entrance of the Luao Bay at the most critical moment. It is both a coincidence and a kind of will.

On October 28, when the large-scale transportation fleet of the Heavenly Kingdom, who was rushing back to Shanghai from Ningyuan Special District, wanted to enter the Hanguan Port to temporarily avoid the strong storms on the sea for a few days, but unexpectedly, they were unreasonably detained by the Korean army that had completely occupied the Heiyi Island, they immediately sent the call for help directly to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Navy headquarters in Tianjin through the only radio station in the formation.

According to all insiders, when the large transport fleet of the Heavenly Kingdom was actually confiscated by the North Korean side and was transmitted to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom National Defense and Military Commission in Beijing via the Red Navy headquarters, Lin Haifeng immediately slapped the table and pointed at the direction of North Korea in the east in anger, sending a "rare roar".

Similarly, although Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai, Zheng Nan and Hong Renyu from the Supreme Command of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not make such a particularly fierce move as Lin Haifeng after learning the news, they were all shocked.

On October 30, Lin Haifeng, commissioned by the Supreme Command, directly called Yu Zaiyuan, the highest commander of the Korean army on the Hokkien Island in the name of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom National Defense and Military Commission. While denying his behavior of ignoring the sovereignty of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, he severely ordered Yu Zaiyuan to immediately lift the unreasonable seizure of the commercial fleet of the Heavenly Kingdom and arrange for the fleet to return safely. Otherwise, all consequences will be borne by you Yu Zaiyuan. At the end of the message, there are six words "Don't say that you are not aware of your words".

However, facing this stern telegram from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, I don’t know if it was a hurry or a daring Yu Zaiyuan, he actually played the trick of silence.

On the morning of October 31, with another emergency power from the transport fleet, it was transferred to Lin Haifeng's hands through the Red Navy headquarters.

After learning that this large transport fleet on our side had been forced to be a military transport fleet for the North Korean army to attack Japan Island, full of great risks, Lin Haifeng was furious.

"Immediately call the Red Navy headquarters to send a powerful fleet to the Mercedes-Benz Box Pavilion, and we must completely rescue the fleet one by one."

Lin Haifeng, who slapped the table and stared at him again, finished giving this order, and then added, "Tell them again. If necessary, he can take all means to deal with it on the spot."

In this way, the North Sea Fleet Command and Wu Pei's Vladivostok Squadron Command received this emergency telegram from the Red Navy headquarters on the evening of October 31.

Since the strength of the Red Navy Pacific Fleet, which was on the battlefield in the American world, was urgently needed to strengthen, two months ago, the Red Navy headquarters had strictly ordered the North Sea Fleet Command to withdraw some of the main combat ships with no conditions and rushed to Hawaii to join the Red Navy Pacific Fleet. As Wu Pei's Vladivostok squadron under the North Sea Fleet, it was naturally difficult to stay out of the matter.

The Vladivostok squadron, which originally had eight majestic "Ningguta-class" frigates, was now promoted to commander, and only four frigates, including his flagship "Ningguta".

When he received the urgent telephone directed by the Red Navy headquarters that prompted him to rush to the box hall, he was by his side. In fact, there were only two ships "Ningguta" and "Tuzetu". As for the other two ships "Liaoyang" and "Hunchun", they were still on the cruise of the Whale Sea.

Despite this, for the safety of the Heavenly Transportation Fleet, Wu Pei still strictly implemented the orders of the Red Navy headquarters without saying a word. On November 1, after only a little preparation, Wu Pei took the "Ningguta" and "Tuzetu" ships from Vladivostok's home port, and at the same time, the two ships "Liaoyang" and "Hunchun" cruised abroad were urgently powered. They immediately marched towards the Jinqing Strait.

At dusk on November 2, when the two fleets led by Wu Pei were still advancing towards the Jinqing Strait in the Whale Sea, the new news was transferred from the Red Navy headquarters through a telegram, according to an emergency telegram from the Tianchao transport fleet. The Jinqing Strait was threatened by the Spanish Navy fleet. The headquarters also ordered Wu Pei to immediately concentrate the fleet to rush to the Songs of the Essenil.

At 5 a.m. on November 3, Wu Pei, who was moving quickly, received another emergency telegram from the Red Navy headquarters.

The emergency telegram first informed him that Yu Zaiyuan had allowed the Tianchao transport fleet to retreat to Songqian to avoid the enemy as appropriate, and asked Wu Pei's fleet to respond in time. At the same time, Wu Pei also learned from this emergency telegram from the Red Navy headquarters that the enemy fleet that had confronted the main force of the North Korean fleet in the waters east of the Jinqing Strait was led by the Western Chief Nunez, and had a total of more than ten large and small ironclad ships.

The Red Navy headquarters also informed Wu Pei that in view of the sudden change in actual situations, the National Defense and Military Commission's order to properly punish the North Korean military Yu Zaiyuan headquarters has been revoked, and its current main task has been transformed into joining forces with North Korean friendly forces to completely eliminate this Spanish fleet. In order to achieve this goal, the headquarters has urgently transferred the Sakhalin Island squadron of the North Sea Fleet to rush to Songqian to accept his command uniformly.

Finally, the Red Navy headquarters informed Wu Pei of the contact signal of the North Korean fleet, hoping that he would cooperate closely with the Korean friendly forces, fight actively, and wish him victory.

Wu Pei, who has many experiences in close cooperation with the North Korean fleet, couldn't help but feel a tightening when he learned from this telegram from the Red Navy headquarters that the main force of the North Korean army's northern fleet had entered a head-on confrontation with the Spanish Pacific Fleet.

He was very clear about the strength of the North Korean Army's northern fleet, so he couldn't help but worry about the fate of the North Korean fleet. Especially in this North Korean Army's northern fleet, there was a person he was even more worried about, his classmate and friend of the Red Naval Academy - Zheng Dachen.

At 10 a.m. on the third day, Wu Peisuo led two ships, "Ningguta" and "Tuxitu", arrived in front of Song, while his other two ships, "Liaoyang" and "Hunchun", were still galloping towards Song in the sea of ​​whale, and it would take at least four or five hours to arrive. As for the Dong Zijing formation of the Sakhalin Island squadron, they were even further apart.

So, while Wu Pei responded to the Tianchao transport fleet that had already begun to sail to Song, he called Li Xuanyi, the commander of the North Korean Fleet of the North, and noticed that he would try his best to delay the Western Fleet as much as possible without a large-scale frontal war with the Western Fleet, thinking that the final decisive war would gain more precious time.

However, something that deeply hurt Wu Pei still happened.

At twelve noon, Li Xuanyi called:

The Western thieves are pressing step by step, and a great war is inevitable. In order to buy time for the Tian Dynasty transport fleet to evacuate safely, our troops have decided to fight the Western thieves.
