Two huge black ships came by the wind and waves, the huge hulls were like mobile fortresses on the sea.They are the "Zhenyuan" and "Weiyuan" that returned from the Will Army.

Although these two behemoths did not catch up with the final battle between Qing Dynasty and Gaul, they were important bargaining chips at the negotiation table.

"My lord, Zengmu Ansha ahead!"

Wang Yuan, who was observing on the observation deck at this time, suddenly turned his head and said.

"Flag! Whistle! We have entered the territorial waters of the Qing Empire!"

Lin Yongsheng stepped to the side of the boat after hearing the words, and showed a hint of joy after careful observation.

The soldiers on the mast heard excitedly raising the flag and playing the flag.A long flute sounded on the Weiyuan.

'Fuck me, I was preempted by Lao Lin!We also whistle!"

Not far away, Liu Buchan cursed, his face filled with an uncontrollable smile.

Hearing the words of the pipe, the sailors on the Zhenyuan ship went crazy and kept pulling the whistle.Jumping and jumping on the side was almost happy, and the navy officers and men who watched the will of the ship were stunned, thinking when the navy started the art cell.

Certainly, the second ship of the town will pass through Malaysia. After adding coal to Saigon (later Ho Chi Minh City), it will stay on the mainland for a short time. Then it will go to the neon Nagasaki Port to paint the anti-corrosion paint. Dagu Port has no special military facilities, so I can only go there.

Saigon

Two huge warships sailed into the harbor, shocking everyone on the shore.

But when people saw the flag of the Qing Empire, immigrants from the mainland burst into cheers!

The local people were even more amazed. Almost from the Tang and Han Dynasties, the South and North Vietnam were part of the territory. Although they also often seceded, they were all classified as vassals in the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Not to be called emperor, the king must be canonized by the court.

Han people can be seen everywhere here, and the Vietnamese people have no objection at all. This kind of situation occurs throughout Southeast Asia.

"The emperor! According to Zhouguang's call! Zhenyuan, the second ship of Weiyuan has returned to China, Master Li Hongzhang also got there first on the express ship."

Zhang Shusheng temporarily took the post of Governor of Zhili and Minister of Northern Oceans during Li Hongzhang's trip to Gaul, so he was able to receive a telegram from Zhouguang the first time.

"En! Town, the second ship is going to Neon, right?"

Wang Guangxu raised his head from the memorial pile and looked at Zhang Shusheng.

"Back to the emperor! Town, the second ship needs to go to Nagasaki to apply anticorrosive paint!"

Zhang Shusheng was a little surprised, he wondered if the emperor knew all this.

"Haha! Let Li Hongzhang take the navy and Dingzhen Second Ship to Neon, let’s also take the people from Jiangnan navy academy to see what the situation of Neon is, and let’s have a long time to learn about the Qing Empire. The national prestige."

"Tell Li Hongzhang! Be bolder, I want him to shell Nagasaki and Kyoto!"

When Wang Guangxu finished speaking, he lowered his head to continue to look at the memorial.Haokan Novel Network www.haokantxt.com

'But what if the Neon Man wants to go to war with us?We just fought a big battle..."

When Zhang Shusheng heard Li Hongzhang's words, his expression changed greatly and he wanted to admonish him.

"It's just three or five cannonballs. It's no big deal! The neon navy is still very weak. They dare not go to war!"

'Without the navy, their army will not be able to go out. I will go to Neon in a few years. As for now, let's charge a few interest on stick things!"

Wang Guangxu didn't seem to care too much at all.

He will never give the neon people a chance to breathe. He wants to humiliate them and let them start an arms race. If the little neon competes with himself on naval warships, it will definitely drag down their economy.

Haichuan, Songhu Port.

The national flag of the Qing Empire fluttered in the wind on more than ten warships anchored in Wusong Port of Haichuan.

Li Hongzhang boarded the Dingyuan ship accompanied by Ding Ruchang and Liu Buchan.

He looked at the hundreds of naval cadets who were standing neatly on the pier under the ship and nodded in satisfaction.

"You are the first batch of students from Jianghai Southern Military Academy, today! That is the day you graduate."

"From now on, you will board a ship, and the navy will grow because of you. The emperor once said that the rich countries should be the first to strengthen the army, and the navy is a top priority."

"You bear the rise and fall of the Chinese people, and it is our hope for the future!"

"The warships in front of you were bought by the emperor and the people squeezed in food and clothing. You must cherish and cherish them, or you will have to pilot them in the future to serve the emperor and serve the entire country! To build meritorious service!"

Li Hongzhang is no longer young, and he did finish these words in one breath. His face was flushed and red, and he was a little choked when he finished speaking.

Although Li Hongzhang is selfish, the new-style navy of the empire can be said to be the hard work of his life. How can he not get excited when he sees him getting stronger and stronger.

At this time, the navy students straightened their chests and collapsed their bodies straight. Today they will set foot on these warships and go together to defend their homeland. Their faces are full of excitement and enthusiasm!

After the training, the students were arranged to board their battleships.

"set sail!"

With an order from the navy admiral Ding Ruchang, the "Dingyuan" first sounded a long whistle.

Notify the ships to prepare to go to sea.

The sailors of each ship did not think about the deck and started the crane. Following a burst of rustling, the anchor was dragged up from the mudflat tens of meters deep and placed on the anchor bed.

The first to start was the "Super Brave" and "Yang Wei" warships. Their speeds reached 17 knots and 16 knots, and they could be used as heavy armored cruisers.

The current navy is due to the scrapping and silence of the original "Super Brave" and "Yang Wei" light cruisers.As a result, cruisers are extremely lacking, and there are only two large heavy-armored cruisers, the former Baya and the Douwell.

And after Wang Guangxu got it right in the shipyard, the first thing he had to build was a few heavy-armored cruisers, which could be considered as a training before building a "Daqing class" battleship.

Of course, in the early stage, we will first ask the Will Army to buy a few ships to alleviate urgent needs...
