As a guerrilla in Fujian's coastal defense, he thoroughly wiped out the pirates in the waters of Fujian Province, never crossed the border, and exterminated the pirates in the Liangguang sea area and the Zhejiang area.

If there is no official document similar to Lao Xiong, Yan Changwu will cross the line, and the consequences are:

The people will be happy at first, but soon they will not appreciate it!

Provoked by the officials and squires of Guangdong Province, they will think that you have ulterior motives, because if you go to Guangdong Province to suppress bandits, in the long run, you will definitely have to collect protection money (for example, a boat will charge 2,000 silver dollars for water), and this protection money will be passed on to the common people.

At first, people didn't have this money, but because of you, the people didn't thank you, but hated you!

You learn from Lei Feng, do good deeds without leaving a name, do not receive remuneration, yes, once there is no problem, and the second time because of military spending, Chen Xinji will come to ask you: "How many taels do you want?" (Sell you as someone else's son-in-law)

And for solving a difficult problem for them, the local officials will not thank you either.

Doesn't your success in suppressing bandits prove that they are useless?

You are beautiful and beautiful, and they will lose face! It's no wonder they thank you!

The report document was sent to the imperial court, and the emperor read it, and at first he was very happy, and he eliminated the bandits and returned the place to peace, which is good! Not bad!

But if you think about it carefully, hey, you didn't get the emperor's edict and the order of the military department and the governor, so you sent troops without permission?

Any government action without the nod and consent of the superior is self-controlled, and there is no organization and discipline.

Besides, you can casually lead the troops to Guangdong Province, can you run to Tianjin, kill ashore, take Beiping, and sit on the Jinluan Palace?

You are an official soldier, if others don't know, they won't be wary of you, and they are likely to succeed you!

What's even more worrying, what if other officers and soldiers do the same?

In this way, the emperor has long looked at you unpleasantly, and will look at you twice as unpleasantly.

……

There are no rules, there is no circle, the whole body is moved, there is never happiness in life, not what you want!

Yan Changwu acts according to the rules and does not act rashly.

Xiong Wencan's request to invite guest soldiers was approved by Zou Weilian, and there is no legal obstacle, so it will be different!

Knowing Yan Dashao's battle plan, Chen Xinji hurriedly sent someone to send an official document to find Yan Changwu and ask him to show him! (The official document goes around in circles)

Yan Changwu showed the official document to the public, and Gan Hui was the first to pat himself on the back and said: "The Overseer has long said that 'opportunities will always favor those who are prepared', if we hadn't been closed for more than three months of training after the Spring Festival, everyone would have passed the level, and we wouldn't have been able to grasp this opportunity!" ”

“9494！” Everyone said.

"Good!" Yan Changwu said happily: "Return to Kaohsiung immediately!" ”

The fleet swarmed away, and the Fujian sailors who were blocked at the door of their homes breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all had their own thoughts, thinking that they could do it and thinking about going to the Southeast Fleet, and thinking that they could not do it were to go back to their hometowns to farm and fish, so as to save the guns of the Southeast Fleet and die.

If you can't beat it, you're stupid!

Dog-eat-dog of the upper class, we don't accompany you!

(We) can collect money, but we don't do it!

So Governor Zou wanted to make a fortune with the promotion of Fujian sailors!

……

With the return of the fleet, the Kaohsiung military port became lively, and everyone was excited when they heard that there was another war!

Fighting a war is not a bad thing, everyone has the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, as for sacrifice, they all go to sea anyway, and fishing merchants are also dangerous, and there is no small danger.

Under the leadership of Yan Dashao, everyone has a lot of chances to win, even if they die in battle, the family also has a pension, and the parents, wives and children have no worries about their livelihood.

After the military discussion was held, the warship that was ready to be dispatched was announced, and Yan Dong, the captain of the Southeast, came to take a look, but without himself, he was not convinced, and found the deputy chief of staff Gan Hui to ask what was going on?

"The pirate ship is moving at a gallop, and the Overseers have decided that you old ships don't need to be dispatched, for fear they won't be able to keep up with the team!" Gan Hui said patiently.

"We can act as a fort to guard the sea, and at the same time act as an information center." Yan Donglai argued.

Gan Hui smiled: "This mission doesn't need a turret, if you see it, you will chase it and open fire!" ”

"Okay!" Yan Donglai had no choice but to say.

Seeing his depressed appearance, Gan Hui knew that Yan Donglai had won the trust of the Overseers and wanted to befriend him, so he gave him an idea: "In the future, the combat missions of the voyage will increase year by year, and your big ship can only participate in the battle, and there are too few combat opportunities, which is very disadvantageous!" ”

"May I ask Brother Gan, is there a good plan?" Yan Donglai's eyes lit up, and he knew that there must be a way.

"Wouldn't it be enough to report to the Overseers that the Southeast-class ships should be revamped, the bow and stern towers should be lowered, and the unnecessary decorations should be removed to increase its speed?"

"This battleship is not easy to modify!" Yan Donglai had concerns.

"Before, it didn't work, but now we can do it with our new battleship, have an understanding of the structure of the battleship, and have the ability to transform it!" Gan Hui encouraged him and said: "What's more, the battle of Batavia is imminent, the early transformation, the early handy, in the future, escape quickly, keep up, catch up, and then have a strengthened structure, you can use heavy artillery, there are many benefits!."

"It's done!" Yan Donglai gritted his teeth and said to Gan Hui: "In the future, if I have results, it will all be due to Gan Hui's achievements!" ”

"Well said!"

So Yan Donglai returned to the ship and reported to Yan Changwu and Chen Xinji, pointing out the shortcomings of the current Southeast class (the old type of third-class battleships) and the Beigang-class (the old type of fifth-class cruisers), and requesting that they be transformed.

After receiving the report, Yan Changwu attached great importance to it, and immediately instructed to transform all the four southeast-class warships!

Chen Xinji refuted it and said, "No money!" ”

The budget of that year has been exhausted, and the transformation of a battleship is equivalent to a major change, and the plan needs 50,000 silver dollars, and four is 200,000 yuan, and there is still some silver in the treasury of the southeast prefecture, but it is spare and cannot be used easily.

So Yan Changwu found Chen Xinji and Chen Hebin to discuss: "How to make money?" ”

"Everyone knows that these four old battleships are indispensable in this big battle in Batavia, but they are slow, and the dispatch will slow down everyone's speed, and you have to take care of its speed in the war, and it is troublesome to seize the upper hand, in case of defeat, you can't escape! Once we lose them, then we are in trouble, big trouble! ”

"The officers and soldiers, red-haired fans, and pirates who were pressed by us before will come to rebel!" Yan Changwu's meaning is very clear, if you have silver, you have to do it, and if you don't have silver, you have to do it.

"My uncle's side has closed down because of Governor Zou, and there is no silver turnover for us!" Chen Hebin said, referring to the silver number of Yuegang.

"The Japanese have silver, but do you dare to ask for it?" Chen Xinji asked, Yan Changwu has always been at odds with the Japanese people, and he does not have too much entanglement with the Japanese people.

"Then let's issue bonds!" Yan Changwu gritted his teeth.

Everyone agreed: "That's it!" ”

Chen Xinji has always wanted to balance the finances, and said with a wry smile: "We're not reckless or something!" ”

"When we finish fighting Batavia and the Philippines, we'll be fine!" Yan Changwu comforted him.

"I can hear it, even if we control the South China Sea, there will be new spending!" Chen Xinji already didn't have any hope for Yan Changwu, so he could only reluctantly try to prepare funds for him!

Once you embark on the road to hegemony, you can never stop!
