Yan Changwu did not return to Guangdong Province, and the fleet returned to Kaohsiung.

In addition to the one million taels of silver donated by the kind-hearted Comrade Liu Xiang, there were also one million taels of silver donated by the four fools (four great gentlemen) of Guangdong Province, plus part of the water silver collected amounting to 120,000 taels of silver.

As for the maritime merchants who gave a million taels of silver, they also transported the silver to Wailingding Island one after another, and also brought it back when it was convenient. ，

After receiving the news from the clipper, Chen Xinji said to Chen Hebin privately: "I heard that the people believe that the Overseer said that he is the reincarnation of the golden and bronze boy, not the reincarnation of the golden boy, and today I believe it!" ”

Chen Hebin said happily: "We follow the God of Wealth to fight, how can we be invincible!" ”

"That's right!" Chen Xinji agreed, and they mourned for Yan Dashao's enemy for ten seconds.

They picked up the ship together, Yan Dashao saw these two guys and the chief operating officer Hong Sheng on the deck of the ship, laughed until he couldn't see his teeth and mouth, and complained to Mr. David next to him: "Usually when I come back, they will pick me up at most, and they all say that they are very busy and busy, and now the three of them come together to ......."

Mr. Davy is a foreigner, and said very sincerely: "They are not here to pick you up, but to pick up the silver, you are not so popular yet!" ”

Sure enough, the battleship arrived at the dock, tied the cable, and after the anchor was dropped, Yan Changwu stepped on land, and the three guys stepped forward, and after a few words of false greeting, they couldn't wait to ask: "Where is the silver?" Where is the silver? ”

Yan Changwu was right in front of them, but they craned their necks to look at the boat!

provoked Mr. David to laugh next to him, and the three guys realized that they were ugly, and hurriedly reined in their anxious appearance, and Chen Xinji reported casually: "I have selected a site in Keelung to build a new shipyard, and in the future, the third-class battleships and fifth-class cruisers will be built in the Kaohsiung Shipyard, and the sixth-level cruisers and small ships will be built in Keelung." ”

He said that he has acquired a large shipyard in Fujian Province, packed the whole factory, together with the boss and the workers, all to Keelung, organized a large number of engineering personnel, plus there is no shortage of silver materials, and the new shipyard is also working fast, and one-third of the project has been started, which is super fast!

Regarding the location, he said: "Kaohsiung is located in the Tainan Plain and has a developed economy, while Keelung is located in Taipei, so it needs an industry to boost the economy. ”

Yan Changwu was overjoyed and said: "You do things, I don't worry!" Then he said to everyone, "I am equally relieved of you!" “

"Thank you!" The three of them bowed down and said, in less than three minutes, their true forms were revealed, because the ship began to lift the silver box down, the guys chatted with Yan Changwu absentmindedly, and their hearts flew to the edge of the silver box!

Yan Changwu scolded with a smile: "Come and see!" ”

The three of them are overjoyed, that is, flash!

Yan Changwu shook his head, alas!

……

Although Yan Dashao returned to Taiwan, he still had a tight grasp of the pursuit and suppression of the bandits in Guangdong Province, and ten warships, led by Li Ying and Siresma, rushed to the Guangdong Sea and ruthlessly pursued and suppressed the Liu Xiang bandits.

They patrolled everywhere and were very diligent, and Xiong Wencan strictly supervised the Guangdong naval divisions and local governments, and there was a great possibility that the bandits would be chased to the heavens and the sea.

On Wailingding Island, Li Ying, the deputy admiral of the Southeast Fleet, set up a big tent, and he stood alone and attached great importance to this errand.

Seeing the captains of his subordinates standing tall and holding their heads high, and then seeing the majestic side of the warships in the harbor, Li Ying was full of confidence!

The sailors came to report: "Someone from the Governor's Palace!" ”

"Please!" Li Ying commanded.

Xiong Ting, the deputy commander-in-chief who had just been promoted, came into the tent in high spirits and gave Li Ying a salute, and Li Ying invited him to sit down.

Xiong Ting sent Li Ying a dispatch order, and now there is a report from the western part of Guangdong, saying that Liu Xiang's bandits have fled to Hailing Island (Yangjiang), the thieves are very strong, there are many ships, and some people have seen the Chinese military ship under the banner of Liu Xiang......

Therefore, Governor Xiong ordered the Guangdong Far Sea Fleet to rush to Hailing Island and strive to eliminate the Liu thief.

Li Ying accepted the card order, Xiong Ting said to wait for good news, and left with interest.

Li Ying took out the chart to look at it carefully, and asked the intelligence staff officer if there were any clues, and the staff officer reported that there was not much information at present, and that the enemy might have arrived at Hailing Island, but some people also reported that they had found enemy traces in the north, and there was no reliable evidence to support it.

In the previous intelligence, Hailing Island was indeed one of Liu Bandit's bases, and the captains of the ships were eager to fly to Hailing Island with their wings and kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor.

After Li Ying pondered for a while, he shook his head and said, "The enemy is not on Hailing Island, he must go north!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, how could this be possible, the intelligence of the government clearly said that they were going to Hailing Island.

"At present, our army controls the mouth of the Pearl River, we are on the sea, there are officers and troops and civil defense on the shore, Liu Bandit dares to go to Hailing Island, where the place is barren, and the supply of personnel and materials is not effective, which is the way to perish!"

"Those who go to Hailing Island will be the enemy's division and confuse our army, and the enemy's main force will definitely go north. Li Ying's words aroused everyone's thoughts, and finally he clapped his hand and said: "I am the main general, I have decided that the main force of the fleet will immediately go north and pursue the enemy fleet!" ”

Since he is in charge, everyone has nothing to say and acts according to orders.

……

Li Ying led 20 warships to rush for three days and two nights, and there was no sail shadow of the pirates all the way, and everyone's strange words and complaints in private increased, and Li Ying was said to be "in the opposite direction" of the new era.

But at eight o'clock in the morning of the third day, a suspicious big green head was found in the open sea (about ten zhang long, 2 zhang wide, five feet high, eight feet draft, carrying three or four thousand quintals, equipped with a total of 2 cannons, one in front and one behind), with artillery on it!

Everyone immediately came to the top, and the two cruisers stepped forward and clamped each other, and the big green head obediently surrendered.

After the interrogation, the news came that they were indeed Liu Xiang's bandits, and they were left behind because of the ship's fault, and as for Liu Xiang's brigade, it was in front!

All the people were in high spirits and hurriedly chased after the sails.

The atmosphere on the ship has changed, and Li Ying has become a smart man and a wise deputy admiral!

More than four hours later, I rushed to Dongshan Island, saw the bandit ships in front of me covering the sea, heard the roar of artillery, opened the binoculars and looked, and saw that the two cruisers of our army were facing the huge ranks of the enemy, and they fought bravely and fearlessly!

Li Ying's fleet was full of blood, and Li Ying ordered: "Assault on all fronts, follow me!" ”
