The route from Shanghi to Mexico is the northern route, the fleet first arrives in Yokohama, Japan to replenish fuel and other supplies, and then arrives in the Hawaiian Islands through Midway, and after replenishment, it sails northeast to San Francisco, USA. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, if the route chooses the southern route, it needs to arrive at Keelung Port in Taiwan first, then arrive in Manila, Philippines, cross the Philippine Strait and the Java Sea to Jakarta in Dutch Indosia (now Indonesia), and then arrive at the Port of Darwin in British Australia, go to Wellington in New Zealand along the Australian coastline, and then pass through Tahiti, Pitcairn Islands, and Easter Island to Chile in South America, and then go north along Chile through Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. After crossing the Panama Canal, we rendezvoused with the Sea Prayer in the Caribbean Sea, then entered the Gulf of Mexico and finally arrived in Mexico. However, if the voyage follows the southern route, it will take the fleet a full three months, but the advantage is to save money, and along the way it will pass through Southeast Asia and South America, the most important areas inhabited by overseas Chinese, and Wang Yongan's reputation will spread to all corners of the world - even the most remote Easter Island.

Wang Yongan, who was very desperate for time to return to China to fight for the cake, had no choice but to use the northern route, so he would rather spend more money to hire large Japanese supply ships.

After Yue Wenzheng left, Wang Yongan convened a meeting of all the officers to discuss how to make the soldiers consume excess energy. Some people suggested that the food could be reduced, so that everyone would not have enough to eat and would not have the strength to fight. However, this proposal was quickly rejected by the navy, because the reduction of food at sea meant the loss of physical strength, which required physical exertion at sea, even tripling compared to land.

Yu Yadong came up with an idea to let the soldiers learn Spanish and organize activities such as sea fishing competitions, which was unanimously supported by everyone. But there were only four or five people in the entire fleet who could speak Spanish, and more than 8,000 people, including Yu Yadong, needed to teach Spanish, which could almost exhaust him to death.

is the so-called cannon of his own appointment, and he has to finish it with tears...... Yu Yadong, the secretary, became the chief instructor of Spanish for the Qing Dynasty Overseas Chinese Army, and began to teach Spanish to all soldiers and officers. First of all, the officers, after all, the officers are educated, but even so, it made Yu Yadong suffer enough, and he only taught six sentences in three days.

"We are the protectors of the Qing Empire."

"Hands up, guns don't kill."

"Hand over the money."

"If you don't want to die, tell me where the food and water are?"

"You bastard, where are the Chinese?"

"Little bitch, shut up, lie down and don't move."

When Wang Yongan knew these six sentences taught by Yu Yadong, he was so angry that he almost pulled his pants and waistband and beat him, did he think that the overseas Chinese army was a bandit, and he actually taught to "hand over the money on his body"! Under Wang Yongan's timely correction, Yu Yadong began to standardize civilized language, but unfortunately everyone still prefers to use dirty words, this group of people has an innate talent for scolding.

It didn't take long to hear that the officers and men in the fleet no longer used Chinese to curse, and they sprayed in Spanish instead. In the past, it was still difficult to fight between Guangdong Province and Zhili, but now it is better to directly scold them in Spanish swear words that both sides can understand, and after a while, the fight broke out again.

In order to consume the energy and physical strength of the soldiers of the Overseas Chinese Protector Army, Wang Yongan then held various competitions, such as the Overseas Chinese Guardian Cup Chess Competition, the Overseas Chinese Protector Cup Tug-of-War Competition, the Overseas Chinese Protector Cup Hercules Competition, the Overseas Chinese Protector Cup Shooting Competition, the Overseas Chinese Protector Cup Fishing Competition, and the Overseas Chinese Protector Cup Poetry Competition......

By the time they arrived in Yokohama, Japan, there were finally fewer fights among the fleet members, and some of them were even able to chew on a few lines of poetry, as if they had a lot of culture. The crew members also cultivated their own interests and hobbies through various competitions, and even many people met new friends and expanded their social horizons through exchanges.

When the Qing Dynasty Overseas Chinese Protector arrived in Yokohama, Japan, it was warmly welcomed by the Japanese Overseas Chinese Newspaper, and the Japanese government also attached great importance to this overseas Chinese escort army, and they hoped to see the strength of the Chinese soldiers.

The 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Guards Division, which was stationed not far from Yokohama, proposed a friendly match with the Overseas Chinese Protector Army, and the commander of the Guards Division, Prince Kanin Miyajihito, hoped that the commander of the Overseas Chinese Protector Army, Wang Yongan, would not refuse.

The Guards Division, the forbidden army that protected the Emperor of Japan, was one of the first seven divisions established in Japan and was stationed in Tokyo for a long time. The 1st and 2nd Guards Divisions were responsible for protecting the Imperial Palace, the 3rd Brigade was responsible for protecting Tokyo Bay from enemy landings, and the 3rd Brigade of the Guards Division could often be seen in the port of Yokohama, which was not far from Tokyo.

In May of this year, King Zai Renqin had just taken up the post of commander of the Guards Division, and the former division commander, Lieutenant General Ueda Arisawa, had done a good job, just 60 years old, and it stands to reason that he could continue to serve as the commander of the Guards Division for three years, but unfortunately, in order to give the throne to King Zai Renqin, Ueda Arisawa had to be transferred to the reserve in advance and was promoted to general. Forty-five-year-old and a radical member of the Japanese Imperial Family, he was not a sake bag, but studied at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France at a young age, and later at the Saumur Black Knight Cavalry Academy, graduating with honors from the French Army University. During the First Sino-Japanese War, Jae-in served as a herald of the First Army Headquarters, known as the "Prince Herald", and with his bravery and background, he was easily promoted all the way, and was awarded the rank of major general ten years ago. During the Russo-Japanese War, Jae-in pioneered the use of machine-gun positions to block the Russian offensive, and five years ago he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and served as the commander of the 1st Division.

At this time, Emperor Meiji was already terminally ill with uremia, and the Japanese Empire hired doctors from all over the world to continue the life of Emperor Meiji. Emperor Meiji knew that his life was imminent, and he was afraid that the shogunate forces in the army would overthrow the imperial power again, so he transferred Zaihito to his side as the head of the guard division to protect the safety of the imperial family.

Zairen was very proud in his bones and looked down on the Chinese army, so when he learned that the Japanese Chinese were beating gongs and drums to welcome the overseas Chinese army, he wanted to give them a good look and asked for a competition with the Chinese army. However, there must be a bet in the competition, and the bet in this contest is very simple: if the Chinese Overseas Chinese Guards win, the cost of the two transport ships will have to be paid by the people themselves, and if the Japanese Guards Division wins, the flag of the Qing Dynasty Overseas Chinese Guards will be given to the Third Brigade of the Guards Division as a gift of "friendly exchanges."

The Great Qing Protector Army, just accept the challenge, if you don't accept the challenge, you also have to accept the challenge, because your ships will not be able to drive Hawaii Island due to lack of supplies, and what overseas Chinese will be protected.
