Chapter 133: Ding Jiawu's Ambition

Most people are selfish, and there are a few truly selfless saints in history, and there are a few who are alive in the world. Selfishness is not terrible, it is terrible to abandon all public affairs for the sake of selfishness, which is real selfishness.

Yang Shuai has a patriotic heart more than anyone else, he comes from another world, that parallel space. He felt more deeply than anyone else in this era the suffering and pain that Huaxia's children and grandchildren would suffer in the coming decades.

If it is said that if he dies, he can be exchanged for the prosperity of the Taiping Kingdom and the strength of the people, Yang Shuai must not hesitate to wield his sword. But at the same time, Yang Shuai knew that this was impossible. Yang Shuai had to become old and spicy, he needed to firmly control the power that could speak. And this power comes from the power of war.

Some people have already begun to scold Yang Shuai for being a ** martial artist, and Yang Shuai can only laugh at this. If he was really **, really just a martial artist, there would be no so-called military and political branches. Yang Shuai is not just as simple as controlling military power, but also grasping government affairs.

Yang Shuai was helpless in this regard, and it was precisely because of Yang Shuai's open and honest attitude that he took out the sand gold, and in the end, some people recognized Yang Shuai from the bottom of their hearts. And these people are the core of the real Yang Shuai's future team.

Yang Shuai also comforted himself more than once: "It's okay to do this, it's okay, so that you can see who my ally is." ”

Hengxian County is located in the east of Nanning, in the lower reaches of the Yongjiang River, close to Guixian, above the Yujiang River. Liu Zuwu thought that Nanning was not well guarded, and he was flanked left and right with Long Jinguang in the east and west, and Yang Shuai would be defeated. What is rare is that Lu Rongting, who has a heavy army, seems to have a wait-and-see attitude. In the end, Long Jinguang's staff team came to the conclusion that Lu Rongting and Yang Shuai did not agree.

Long Jinguang immediately made a decision, immediately ordered Liu Zuwu to advance westward, and at the same time ordered Li Wenfu to gradually draw troops from Funing to attack Nanning, and Long Jinguang himself personally led his troops to resist Li Liejun.

When Liu Zuwu enters Nanning, he must go to Lingshan.

At this time, eight miles west of Lingshan, a company of soldiers was carrying a hoe and looking at the sky. The scene was called a strange one, a company of 100 soldiers, not carrying guns, resisting hoes, one by one looked up at the western sky, their mouths opened wide, and some of them began to drool because they were old.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, the neck was sore.

One of the soldiers lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, and said to the company commander who was sitting on the ground biting the grass roots: "Company commander, do you say this plane can come?" I've heard, that thing is made of iron bumps, I don't believe he can fly, iron can fly? ”

Suddenly, a few soldiers also came around, and the company commander was a young man in his early twenties, not immature, nor with refined eyes, but followed by a sharp spirit that did not admit defeat.

"What? Can't fly? When you were in Nanning for so long, you didn't see the commotion above your head every day. I heard that the military commander now calls those guys 'flying squads', and they fly and fly all day long in two planes, and that's called ability. Let me tell you, this time Lao Tzu grabbed his head to grab this task. Break through to Lingshan for ten miles, find a suitable place for the plane to take off, and carry out fortifications for our reconnaissance. Is this something anyone can do? That, isn't that coming? ”

The company commander pointed to the blank sky in the west, and the soldiers suddenly stood up and looked up: "Where, where, the company commander is deceiving." ”

Then came the coaxing—a shrill sound, getting louder and louder, and at the same time something the size of a small dragonfly began to appear in the white expanse, and it grew bigger and bigger.

The soldiers raised their hands and shouted: "Coming, coming, coming." ”

The soldier turned around and shouted excitedly: "Company commander, company commander, it's really here, why are your eyes so sharp." ”

Another soldier: "Hey, you say, why did this plane come from so far away, but we saw the figure first, and then we heard the sound, which is said to be noisy, so we saw the figure first?" ”

The soldier just now suddenly despised him: "This is not interesting, you didn't see your eyes on your face in front of you, of course-"

The company commander spat out the grass roots, and knocked his head at the soldiers: "No culture, that's called the speed of light and the speed of sound, and the eyes are long in front." Your nose is still in front of you, why don't you smell the iron bumps first? ”

A group of soldiers laughed, and the company commander kicked one by one: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and spread the white cloth, go, remember, the appearance of the cross and the cross." The company commander yelled and crossed his hands to make a cross.

The current aircraft can't run so far all at once, and in order to increase combat efficiency, Yang Shuai decided to simply build a lawn airfield on the front line, but fortunately, the current aircraft is very light, as long as the ground is harder, there is no problem. If it is replaced by a real combat aircraft of the future, it will definitely need a cement slab airfield.

Beiyuan has a plane, and this time Yuan Datou didn't use it for the Yunnan operation, which is unwise. Yuan Datou is a bad pen, Yang Shuai is not stupid, and the intelligence is absolutely successful or failing.

With the plane and the confusion of Liu Zuwu, Yang Shuai is full of confidence.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. said that a person we haven't seen for a long time, a figure who seems to have been snubbed by Yang Shuai, but is actually secretly vigorously supported, Ding Jiawu, the captain of the "Rising" warship.

"Captain, we're all about to get moldy on Weizhou Island, oops, this is so idle, every day we take this group of fools to practice, when do we go to the battlefield, or we go out to do a vote."

Ding Jiawu's face suddenly darkened, and he glanced at these cronies seriously. Several people were furious by Ding Jiawu, and everyone knew that this was Ding Jiawu's unhappy appearance.

"What do you call a fool? Is he an idiot? Do you remember the energy you vomited six years ago when your kid was caught on the boat by Lao Tzu? And you, aren't you just a fisherman, and now you think you're sorry when you get on the iron boat? Do you want to do a vote? You bandits? Now we are on track with the Navy, the Navy, you know? ”

"Idle? If you are free, you will work harder and train the two thousand people who have been handed over to us by the commander. ”

Someone muttered: "What's the use of practicing it, can a 'rising' number use so many people?" ”

Ding Jiawu suddenly stood up and grabbed the man: "You remember it for me, don't talk about this small warship, we will have more, bigger and longer warships in the future." Rise is only the starting point, definitely not the end. In two years, we must have had our own powerful fleet of warships, and now, we will have seven. ”

The crowd was shocked: "Seven? "The Navy's dependence and excitement on warships is definitely not as simple as the Army touching a gun.

Ding Jiawu smiled: "Yes, seven, tomorrow you, and you, follow me to Jiangmen, pick up our other six warships, and take them home." ”

After the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, China's navy was in an awkward position. Li Hongzhang was no longer able to control them, and later after Yuan Datou came to power, he was obsessed with the new army and the navy. Later, after Xinhai, various wars, the country was torn apart, and the life of the navy was even worse day by day.

The Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea became Japanese territory, and now there are several Chinese warships in the Yangtze River, all of which are small models. There are also some remnants of the Fujian Navy Division, and there is also the navy in the Guangzhou Bay area.

From Weizhou Island to Jiangmen, Ding Jiawu did not need to come directly by warship, especially since the target was very large. Macao and Hong Kong are also the territory of foreigners, so it is inevitable that this will cause concern.

But Ding Jiawu chose the 'Rise' to act with him. The "Rise" may not be comparable to foreign warships, but it still has an advantage over most of the current domestic warships. Especially the cannon of the 'Rise', which was brand new, sixteen cannons of sixteen calibers, enough to shake any threat.

Even Ding Jiawu firmly believed that with his own level, he was not afraid to face a British 10,000-ton warship alone.

Those who have gone through shame have become more and more vigorous, and Ding Jiawu will never forget that catastrophe, that massacre.

Huh-huh-huh-whew-whew-whew three long and two short whistles are the announcement of the arrival of the 'rise', and Jinwan is the closest sea outlet to the sea. At this time, the 'Rise' ignored anyone's observation and doubt, and slowly stopped two nautical miles outside the harbor. The huge whistle sounded for a long time, and a small speedboat rushed out of Jinwan.

There were also several warships moored in the docks, old and ancient, but spotlessly clean. The navy is always the most sacred group of people. Even as everyone is keen to fight for power, they still hold on to China's waters. If there is no strong warship, then they will fill it with their lives and defend it. It's a dignity and a pride.

In the future, if there is no such old iron boat left, the last one among them will go out to sea in a fishing boat, fight against the enemy, and never flinch.

A few admiral-like figures on the shore looked at each other in a trance.

"I thought he was bragging, it turned out that that small port in the south really hid such a warship."

Chen Shaokuan, Yang Shuzhuang, Chen Fu, Ling Xiao, Chen Duheng, and Yang Guo stood by the water's edge together, and they were the captains of the six warships "Ying Rui", "Guanghe", "Hai Rui", "Hairong", "Ruihe" and "Guanghai".

The figure of the "Rise" is far away from the sea, but for these naval elites, they can see through impossible things at a glance, and even the artillery on it is clearly seen by them from the telescope.

Others looked at the excitement and looked at the head, they only saw the 'Rise' was not a very large figure, but these six people saw the two columns of resolute-faced naval soldiers on the 'Rise', which was a kind of resoluteness that was not shocked, but regarded death as home.

These six people, seeing their companions, real companions.

In their eyes, Tang Hualong, the current famous admiral, and others are not a navy at all, but a group of warlords.

Ling Xiao, the captain of the 'Hairong', said: "I originally planned to go to the Northeast, but now it seems that maybe this place is not bad. ”

Chen Shaokuan vaguely understood the meaning of the heads of these six people, and said: "I only want to be sure of one thing now, is the person Ding Jiawu said really willing to allocate so much money every year to support the navy?" ”

What answered him was a Ha Lu Ha Ha Da Xiao laughing, and it could be said that Ding Jiawu had climbed up from below.

"I can only tell you that there are now two thousand students on Weizhou Island, the students of our navy."

"Two thousand?"

Everyone shouted in unison, two thousand people, can operate five or six warships, including soldiers, and it is the budget of super large warships.

Ding Jiawu said with a smile: "Yes, Commander Yang also promised me that if the government has no money, he will pay out of his own pocket, and Commander Yang's quilt factory in Shanghai, the commercial street, and several factories in the Triangle Bay area are his promises." Ladies and gentlemen, do you know how much money I have in my hands right now? ”

Chen Shaokuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ding Jiawu suspiciously.

Ding Jiawu: "Maybe, it's hard for you to imagine that there is money left in the navy's pockets?" Then I tell you, I have not only, but not a few, this number, which I have in hand now. Ding Jiawu gritted his teeth and firmly stretched out two fingers.

Chen Duheng was shocked: "Two hundred thousand? "200,000 is not much, especially for the navy that burns money, 200,000 can't buy a huge cannon, but it is enough to maintain the expenses of soldiers for a long time. And now, eating, is their problem.

Others were also surprised, it seems that this Ding Jiawu is really wealthy.

Unexpectedly, Ding Jiawu laughed loudly, and everyone was puzzled.

"Two million."

Ding Jiawu said a data that everyone couldn't believe.

"Everyone, come south with me, and within two years, we will change to a big warship together."
