"Seen from the deed, Fang Boqian on Liugong island at that time there were 28 homes. "Naval History Research Association said Chen Yue.

It seems that Fang Boqian was not only "run", is still worthy of the name "uncle."

　　Fleeing the battlefield was sunk this ship does not save

On July 23, 1894, Fang Boqian, as captain of the fleet, rates of dome-Cruiser "JI Yuan", torpedo-hunting ship "wide" arrives in North Korea, such as Asan, reinforce and protect the Qing government troop. 25th, at 4 o'clock in the morning, return voyage hit Japan "Yoshino", "Naniwa" and "akitsushima" 3 ships. 7:45, "Yoshino" and, after 7 minutes, "JI far" shot back, Pung naval battle in the Sino-Japanese war began.

　　Liugong Island Lushun beheaded family sold property at 28

Battle of the island lie about objectives, Fang Boqian was Li Hongzhang to spare a life. This time, Li Hongzhang has been thoroughly disappointed in him. On September 25, Fang Boqian was beheaded chicken, at the age of 41.

"The JI Yuan" liangdang deserters main gun into the treasures of the Town Hall

During the Sino-Japanese naval war, Optima participated in battle of the island economy, war and battle of Weihai Huang Haihai, three wars that there were two games to escape. Today, the double gun before the ship has become the War Museum's treasure of the town.

In 1986 and 1988, approved by the State Bureau of cultural relics, has twice the "Chai far" ship salvage, a total of 132 pieces of cultural relics set of water, including the "Chai far" ship to ship the first 2 210 mm howitzer (artillery guns is not under water). Today, the two main cannons placed in the landmark Department of Navy admirals backyard.

The early 80 Navy unit has unexpectedly recovered in the Port Arthur area, "JI Yuan" stern of ship to ship 150 mm Krupp cannon and other artifacts, and sank nearly a century of "Chai far" ship back into the public eye. Approved by the State administration of cultural heritage, funding 3 million yuan from the China National Tourism Administration plans to "Chai far" ship, integral salvage and repair exhibition.

In 1986, the Yantai salvage Bureau began salvage, which lasted from May to August. This failed to salvage the whole ship, "JI Yuan" ship, and fished out the sea slumbers 82 ships of two guns. Cannon Germany hears the Krupp company, is willing to take the $ 3 million price bought guns.

Detective-search solutions

Escape is for tactical reasons?

"The theory of Fang Boqian was not guilty of" fear of fiction

Fang Boqian was born in Fujian County (now Fuzhou), 15 years old admitted to the first part of Fujian chuanzheng, entered the Navy after graduation. Two years Guangxu (1876), he was elected to the student, to the United Kingdom naval school for 4 years in Greenwich, after returning to former "town" and "town" gun boat, "Weiyuan" practicing boat tube. In 1885, the adjustable tube "Chai far".

Qualifications and curriculum vitae was glamorous, but of Fang Boqian in Sino-Japanese naval war performance, but he completely ruined.

According to statistics, three generations of the family have served 10 people in China's modern Navy, and more successful, called "admirals". Fang Boqian was beheaded will leave the "admirals" to shame, so families later claim that no one recognized that he was a deserter.

　　Fang Boqian was not guilty of three "evidence"

First evidence is a "send". Said to Jing Fang Boqian Lady cry foul over clutching a send is "Chai far" Chief Shen Shouchang brains, stained by the blood, when Fang Boqian was standing beside him, witnessed his was killed. This evidence years later repeated by Fang Boqian, Zheng Fang Boqian chivalrous.

Second evidence is that Guangxu 21 years (1895) in the book, published by the Shanghai Haishu redress for their grievances heard, authorship, "Jezebel Haishu smell". The book's many references to Fang Boqian, killed unjustly for speaking out against injustice. Writes in the book: "sigh! When the ship relief far back, or her, without trial, imposing charges, killing him. Alone does not think Jackie injured far more than more than 70, the gun-armed bad unusable ... ... And the boat back to Port Arthur, killed their injuries than Chai far much, JI was far from run, without arguing that ... ... "

Third in 1981 at the Fujian Normal University Library found the evidence of the Romer's remarks on Sino-Japanese, the book's author is a naval battle of the Yellow Sea through Lu Yuying. The book also mentioned "Chai far" battle: "Chai far when enemies rush, acting in both a long, Cannon burst dumped without yingdi, then fled. ”

Three evidence pointing to a opinion: Fang Boqian rate ship evacuation was for tactical reasons, Li Hongzhang, and Ding Ruchang took him as a scapegoat.

　　Historians question the "innocence" theory

However, Fang Boqian was not guilty of "evidence", historians have mixed reviews. First of all, some historians believed that "send" it's hard to explain what the problem. Blood on the clothing is not a Fang Boqian, maybe he saw his comrades die so frightening, his wits and retreat soon.

Secondly, hard as the standard historical reference of the Haishu redress for their grievances heard. "Jezebel Haishu smell" status cannot be determined, would not rule out someone commissioned writers, according to the logbook information or tell stories, collection of stories and kneading into official instruments. And multiple cannot fully believe in the book, such as battleship retreated in the book was "gun-armed, no challenge." However, according to statistics from the war, Huang Haihai war, "Ting Yuen", "largest" or "Jingyuan", "far" and other ships shot over hundred, "JI Yuan" was shot in only 15 rounds. Some to question: "far" shot 225 engine, is still able to keep fighting to the end, "JI Yuan" Why can't I?

Finally, the LU Lu Yuying through Huang Haihai, author of remarks on Sino-Japanese war before and after the war, but he was mainly in the cabin, there is no opportunity to observe real-life situations on the battlefield, he says most of the quote from of the Haishu redress for their grievances heard, a red herring.

Because historical data cannot be uniform, most historians believe that comments on Fang Boqian are still "upheld" is better.
