When the Navy was founded, he borrowed the lieutenant and thought that the prefect, and the left and right wing commanders were Fujian Lin Taizeng and Liu. Chang Ru is not used to naval warfare, so he can't threaten. Du Shichang regarded Cantonese as drivers, and Fujian people were jealous when they didn't go ashore.

In the summer of 20 years, the Japanese invaded the DPRK and lost the sea passage. Hong Zhang ordered two ships, Jiyuan and Guangyi, to go to Yashan. When they met a Japanese ship, they attacked first, and Guangyi was seriously injured. General Shen Shouchang of Jiyuan and commanders Yang and Huang were all shot to death. Ji Yuan fled and the Japanese ship chased him. The steward raised a white flag to chase Yi Ji. Some sailors bombarded him and the Japanese ship collapsed.

Chang Ru took Dingyuan from the middle and spread out the left and right wings of the ship. Japanese ships filed in. According to the upper hand, Chang Ru ordered the shelling, which was far away from China.

Shichang rode Zhiyuan, the most fierce, and the wave speed of Japanese ship Yoshino was equivalent. Yoshino, the pillar of Japanese ships. Because of the fierce battle, Zhiyuan's bullets will be exhausted, Shichang vowed to fight the enemy to the death, and the soldiers knew that the general trend was gone and the battle was a little chaotic.
