Chapter 154 is difficult to correct mistakes, and mistakes are added to mistakes

In the early morning of March 30, 1893, Tianjin! Imperial Naval Academy of China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The kitchen of the Imperial Naval Academy has long been busy, the navy is a relatively special branch of troops, and when you are on land, you must supplement your nutrition a lot, because it will take a long time to go to sea, so the empire is very willing to invest in the food of the navy.

The time came to half past six, and at this time, the big radio of the academy began to come out with a very annoying voice for the students, the shouting and scolding of getting up! This ordinary Chinese Anhui can't understand it, because it's English!

Shouting in the broadcast studio was the chief instructor of the Chinese Imperial Navy, Xi Ma Jifen, this guy began to scold the students in English for being lazy, his watch was already showing six o'clock, and he would immediately get up and me!

With the hustle and bustle of all the dormitories, many students began to rush out of the dormitories to the playground, at this time the weather in Tianjin was still very cold, and the sea surface of Tianjin Port had not yet melted, so each student was shivering from the cold, but they did not dare to wear an extra piece of clothing.

Marjifen, who was on the playground, watched the students gather with great interest, he was at the entrance of the dormitory, the whip in his hand was tight, and no one was late today, which made him feel very unhappy.

He shouted to the students, today's 10-kilometer cross-country run, come back from running and recite an hour's chart for me, and the last ten people who finished today's run will move my things in the afternoon!

Run! Rabbit!

In the hearts of all the students, there are thousands of grass and mud horses galloping, this yellow-haired ghost didn't hit anyone today, and he started to go crazy again!

But all the students didn't mean to stop, because all of them didn't want to be the last ten, and Magiffen's and I were all his exercise equipment, very heavy stone locks, iron and other things, but I had never seen him use them, these things were done from the west side of the academy playground to the east side, and then moved back again, and so on.

A chubby middle-aged man standing behind the glass on the third floor silently watched all this, he was the director of teaching at the Naval Academy; "You can remove the spring bed downstairs!"

Another Chinese faculty member said; "Stay there! It's a cautionary tale! ”

The instructor said; "Director! The Navy General Staff has issued an order, we will send someone to cooperate with the whole army to inspect the drill, you see who we send to the right person! ”

The chubby middle-aged man replied, "Is there anything more suitable than this Yama King?" ”

The instructor spoke again; "The General Staff also asked us to send people to Weihaiwei to study the distribution of the navy's consolation money, and this time the emperor took out a lot of money, but the rules for the distribution have not yet been determined, so let people go to the naval base in Weihaiwei to discuss!"

The director said; "There you go!"

The instructor said; "I still have ten days to go to the sea to train with people, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!"

The director said; "Where is Kim Mengcheng?"

The instructor said; "He is in Weihaiwei to participate in the joint exercise of the army and navy!"

The director said; "Let him do it on his behalf!"

The instructor said; "Is this appropriate?"

The director said; "Do you say that these children below are more afraid of me or that 'Hades!' ”

The instructor said; "Your old man is a benevolent, righteous and amiable person, and the students respect you!"

The director said; "The emperor's current enlightenment is not bad for Tang Taizong!"

。。。。。。

On April 1, 1893, Jin Mengcheng received an order from the Navy General Staff to immediately go to the Weihaiwei Naval Base to formulate the standards for the comfort of the Shangyi Navy, which was presided over by Marshal Li Hongzhang himself!

Seeing the army and navy in front of him working together, Jin Mengcheng was really reluctant to leave, he is now a battalion commander of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps, and originally had more than 500 people under his command, but the previous expansions and wars have drawn a lot of elites from his battalion.

Although it has been replenished now and new equipment has been replaced, Jin Mengcheng always feels that it is not as good as the previous team. And he now feels that the Chinese Imperial Navy really has a lot of shortcomings.

Especially the old marines, these people have evolved from the original Huai Army. After the Chinese Empire changed its name, many Qing troops were disbanded or annexed by other battalions after they were not supplied. Therefore, these armies did not have an official imperial army number, but they were not militias organized by the provinces. Because of the presence of Li Hongzhang, this army has never cut off supplies and food. So at this time there is a presence between the army and the militia.

These forces have not only been disbanded, but are constantly being strengthened. Many of the old guns in the forts and batteries were dismantled and replaced with new ones. The soldiers' salaries have also increased several times, so the soldiers don't feel any difference between them.

The range of these fortress guns is also twelve nautical miles recently, and a large number of heavy machine guns are installed in the fortress, to say that the fire configuration, the northern coastal defense line of the Chinese Empire with full firepower can eliminate mosquitoes, but Jin Mengcheng feels a crisis.

This crisis is the lack of training in the army, although the current army has no more smoke, but because the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire are now very good, so the vast majority of officers will focus on training and shooting. Therefore, on the contrary, the traditional strength of the Chinese Imperial Army, white-knuckle warfare, was the weakest, and this situation was very obvious in the current exercise.

At the scene of the exercise, Kim Mengcheng's Marines left the Army far behind, and the Army running behind was panting. All this was seen by all the officers participating in the exercise, because it was not a system, so the officers of the navy did not say anything, but as the commander of this army, Dai Zongjian felt very faceless.

In my heart, I first hoped that my subordinates would not be angry, and then I thought that this down-and-out prince of the Ryukyus would not save him any face, and I thought that I should hurry up and train the physical fitness of my troops, especially the Gong Army in Shandong, these boys usually look very capable, why are they running so slowly!

When Dai Zongjian was thinking about it, Liu Buyun, commander of the North Sea Fleet, said; "Brother Dai! Your troops still need to need to be trained! The training of guns is still very good, but the running is too slow, this is also an ability, and it has to be trained every day! ”

Hahaha!

Dai Zongjian felt very harsh with such laughter, if it weren't for the fact that he had a good personal relationship with this Fujian Yankee, he would have had a seizure on the spot.

The relationship between Dai Zongjian and Ding Ruchang is not good, and the relationship between Liu Buyun and Ding Ruchang is not good, but now Ding Ruchang generally doesn't care about the affairs of the North Sea Fleet, and now Ding Ruchang is in Shanghai, staring at the construction of the Qinglong battleship, and at the same time managing the Yangtze River Naval Division.

After seeing that Kim Mengcheng's army occupied the fortress, the exercise ended. But there are many problems, and the run-in between the two armies is very bad, often disjointed, and cannot be well coordinated.

。。。。。。

At the Jiangbei Shipyard in Shanghai, the battleship Qinglong has completed the assembly of an internal combustion engine engine, and the assembly of the shipbuilding engine is like a surgical operation, which requires the original deck to be turned over, but fortunately it is all wood.

This is not cutting corners, but a step in construction, the shipyard in Wuhan is just an empty shell, all the internal parts of the hull are to be assembled in Shanghai, the final main gun installation is to be installed in the north, and most importantly, the crew of the battleship Qinglong is trained in Tianjin.

Looking at the deck that had been demolished, revealing the keel inside the battleship, like a patient undergoing surgery, waiting to replace a new heart, Ding Ruchang couldn't wait to help these workers in person.

Now he can't wait, Guangxu is already very impatient, and he has said several times that his way of working is not right, how can he be the chief of staff of the Imperial Navy on shipbuilding! But Guangxu never removed him from his position, which is why he was able to supervise the construction of warships faster.

Under his supervision, the construction of the Qinglong battleship was able to overcome many difficulties, first of all, the demand for steel, after Zeng Shuyi in Wuhan refined qualified manganese steel, the empire began to modernize military production.

The army has Zhang Zhidong personally in charge, and the high-quality steel for the navy is simply not enough, not to mention the total demand for more than 70,000 tons of high-quality steel, which is a loser in the army and civilian enterprises, and the whole empire needs high-quality just now, Guangxu can't choose at all. So I just don't care.

But Ding Ruchang, who is the chief of staff of the Navy, can't do anything else, he has a very poor relationship with Liu Buchan of the Beiyang Naval Division, and after Guangxu transferred his descendant Wu Jingrong away, his voice in the North Sea Fleet is even worse, which is why he is reluctant to return to the North Sea Fleet.

Wuhan and Shanghai are all under the jurisdiction of the Yangtze River Fleet, and Li Chengmou, commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, and Peng Yulin, chief of staff of the Yangtze River Fleet, are his old subordinates, both of whom respect him very much as the chief of staff, and Ding Ruchang knows that once the Qinglong battleship is officially equipped with the Chinese Imperial Navy, it will inevitably be the flagship of the whole army, so he has to keep an eye on this position.

His efforts were not in vain, and now that the main project of the battleship has been completed, the completed battleship Qinglong will bring a big surprise to the world.

Thinking that such a battleship was sailing on the sea, Ding Ruchang's heart was faintly full of surging waves, but the current Qinglong still had a lot to do before his cultivation was fruitful.

At this time, a staff officer interrupted his train of thought, and this staff officer came to Ding Ruchang's side and said; "Chief of Staff! At this time, Marshal Li Hongzhang sent you a telegram! ”

Ding Ruchang said; "You read it!"

The staff officer opened the report and read it; "The first joint land-sea exercise of the North Sea Fleet was very unsuccessful, and many problems were leaked, and the emperor was very dissatisfied, so you must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.

The South China Sea Fleet, the Yangtze River Fleet, and the Taiwan Fleet will all conduct drills, and the emperor will personally send people to observe, and the director of the National Strategic Security Bureau is not very annoying, that is a good person! You have to take it seriously, this guy is very capable of stirring up trouble, no one buys face, you have to show real skills, otherwise it will be difficult to pass.

The construction of the Qinglong took too long and cost too much, and the Nanjing government has begun to waver, and has begun to verify the proposal to build more small warships, if you do not have the necessary reason to convince the Nanjing government, it is very likely that the construction of the Qinglong battleship will be stopped! ”

Ding Ruchang didn't care about other things, but he couldn't stop building warships at this time, so he immediately ordered the staff officers to immediately call a meeting between Li Chengmou and Peng Yulin to discuss countermeasures!

。。。。。。

The Winter Palace of the Tsar in St. Petersburg, Russia, where the servants are sorting things, and in a few days the Tsar will move to the summer palace to live, and now although Tsarist Russia has regained the European territories lost in the early stage, the territories east of the Urals have not been recovered.

This made Nicholas II's heart very uncalm, the hateful Chinese, Nicholas II gathered an army of more than a million people on the border, but he did not dare to give the order to attack, the very important thing is the economy.

The economy of Tsarist Russia is on the verge of collapse, and now Tsarist Russia is surrounded by enemies, and the government has used up all the resources it can use, and there is no money left to pay for military spending.

He had already sent to England and Germany to seek support, but the answer he received was that he had no money, so Nicholas II had a very difficult time, and the opposition in Tsarist Russia was now very active.

In particular, the assassination incidents of the Narodya Volya have occurred one after another, and in the face of internal and external troubles, Nicholas II's original efforts to recover the territory have been encroached on little by little, and what worries Nicholas II even more is that it is clear that there are foreign forces behind these Narodnik parties.

That's when his sister came!

Coming in was a blond-haired, floor-mopping pink dress, a wide white hat with velvet, a gray and white fox fur coat, about one meter six tall, wearing a pair of white gloves on his hands, a delicate little face with well-defined outlines, and big eyes with blue pupils.

The servant behind him skilfully took off his fox fur, and the princess walked towards Nicholas II. Princess Alexandrovna.

The princess came to the Tsar and spoke; "Brother Huang! Put an end to this war! The people are in dire straits! ”

Nicholas II did not speak!

The princess spoke; "Please send someone to the Huaxia Empire! We don't want anything this time, as long as the Huaxia Empire can promise us that we don't want more territory anymore! ”

Nicholas II said; "The Chinese Empire issued a statement! What they took back was their territory, which originally belonged to the Huaxia Empire, especially pointed out that the original Russian principality was a small country at all, and Huaxia did not take our Tsarist Russian Empire in his eyes! ”

The princess spoke; "Now what can we do! And what the Chinese Empire said was originally true! ”

Nicholas II took one look at his sister and said; "Who's it! Then he signed his name on a blank order, and he did not have the courage to give it to the princess and left on his own! ”

The princess took this blank order and went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tsarist Russia!

When the Tsar returned to his bedchamber, the Empress came to him with a big belly. He sat in a chair in a daze from behind, and through the mirror in front, the empress saw that the tsar shed tears.

The queen said; "To be born in the family of the emperor comes with different responsibilities! That's fate!

I heard that the little prince is very good, and my sister will be happy!

At this time, the tsar turned around, saved the empress's name, and buried his head in the empress's arms!
