After all the Beiyang Army, the Forbidden Army, and the Beiyang Fleet prisoners were released in a month's time, the imperial court crowned Yang Xingguo as the governor of the three eastern provinces, and the holy decree spread throughout the Qing Dynasty at the first time.

Regarding this holy decree to correct the name of the Liaodong Army, although Yang Xingguo attached great importance to it, he did not pay too much attention to it.

Because, the prisoners were released, and the list of personnel who remained in the Liaodong Army was finally determined.

The forbidden army and the Beiyang Army were basically ordinary soldiers who remained.

As for the officers, even if they wanted to stay, they had to be sent to the Liaodong Military Academy to return to the furnace, and they could only enter the army after graduation.

You must know that since the Liaodong Military Academy was established by the Liaodong Army more than half a year ago, almost all officers of the Liaodong Army at and above the company level have been returning to this military academy for three months.

With these officers as the foundation, even if the Liaodong Army doubles its strength at one time, the officers are not as nervous as before.

Therefore, Yang Xingguo did not pay too much attention to the army prisoners who remained.

Even if there are talents among them, Yang Xingguo firmly believes in a sentence, as long as they are real talents, they will shine wherever they go. Yang Xingguo, who had this idea, directly handed over all the remaining army prisoners to the chief of staff to deal with.

However, Yingkou Wharf was captured by the Beiyang Naval Division left behind by the special operations detachment, and Yang Xingguo had to interrogate it personally.

Looking at the entire Liaodong Army, except for the fact that he had contact with the navy in his previous life. Others have not even seen a naval ship, let alone learned about it.

Early in the morning, the roster of officers of the Navy Division who chose to stay was sent to Yang Xingguo.

Because there is no suitable candidate for the Liaodong Army, the future naval officers of the Liaodong Army can only be selected from among these remaining officers.

Therefore, early in the morning, Yang Xingguo stared at the roster of more than 100 people and flipped through it over and over again.

It wasn't until Chen Jiliang's three words entered Yang Xingguo's field of vision that Yang Xingguo's frowning brows dissipated a lot.

"Chen Jiliang, deputy pipe belt, it's him!" After his fingers tapped on Chen Jiliang's three words for nearly a minute, Yang Xingguo finally showed a firm expression on his face and said to himself.

The reason why Yang Xingguo chose Chen Jiliang, a deputy pipe band among all the captives, is equivalent to the deputy captain of later generations. A big reason is that Yang Xingguo is very clear about the future of this Chen Jiliang.

If he hadn't had himself, Chen Jiliang would have become a rear admiral of the Republic of China Navy a few years later. Before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Jiliang was promoted to vice admiral. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the famous Jiangyin air battle was commanded by Chen Jiliang.

This tragic naval and air battle not only caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army, but also shocked the world.

It is certain that Chen Jiliang is definitely a rare admiral. Judging from his resume, Chen Jiliang has been serving as the deputy captain for nearly two years, and if he is promoted to captain of the capital ship, Chen Jiliang will definitely be competent.

And after the establishment of the Liaodong Army Naval Fleet, there will definitely be no tasks in the short term.

He could completely let Chen Jiliang experience a year in the position of captain, and after a year, he would be promoted to captain of the fleet, responsible for the entire naval fleet.

As for Chen Jiliang's loyalty to himself, Yang Xingguo was not worried at all.

First of all, Chen Jiliang's family will come to Mukden in the next month, and then live in Mukden.

On the other hand, he would not really hand over so many naval ships to a group of prisoners so easily. In the naval fleet that is about to be established, he will definitely place many people in it, learn from those prisoners, and further expand the size of the navy.

In Yang Xingguo's view, the scale of the Liaodong Navy in the future will definitely be more than a dozen ships that are about to be eliminated. Don't wait until the Navy has a new ship, but there are no qualified officers to operate it.

Such an arrangement can not only ensure that the navy is in its own hands, but also cultivate a large number of qualified naval personnel, killing two birds with one stone.

Soon, a telegram was delivered to Zhang Shanlin in Yingkou.

Li Jie, who returned to Yingkou, took Chen Jiliang with him, and hurried to Fengtian to accept a new task.

Li Jie's performance on the battlefield made Yang Xingguo feel impressed, and during Li Jie's tenure as the head of the coastal defense artillery regiment, he learned a lot about the navy for training. In determining the candidate for deputy commander of the navy, Yang Xingguo was the first to think of him.

What's more, in Yang Xingguo's eyes, with ships, the navy is not really established.

Having a navy means that the Liaodong Army can attack others from the sea in future operations, and although the power of naval guns is very great, warships can only be at sea, not land, and there is no way to attack the enemy at close range.

When the time comes, the navy must not be allowed to abandon its warships and land with infantry weapons to attack others.

With this thought, a class of troops appeared in Yang Xingguo's mind.

"The Marine Corps, a naval unit that can operate on land, specializes in beach-grabbing landing operations.

And Li Jie, who was born in the army and knows the navy, is undoubtedly the first division commander of the Marine Corps in Yang Xingguo's heart.

After Chen Jiliang and Li Jie hurried to Fengtian, Yang Xingguo gave Chen Jiliang an order to promote the captain of the capital ship.

At this time, Chen Jiliang was still a young man, and as soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, Chen Jiliang's whole person was shrouded in excitement.

Then he assured Yang Xingguo loudly: "Please rest assured, commander, I will definitely be the captain of this ship!" ”

Although Chen Jiliang only said these two sentences, from Chen Jiliang's expression and a pair of hot and excited eyes, Yang Xingguo was sure that the other party was telling the truth.

Coupled with his understanding of Chen Jiliang in later generations, Yang Xingguo directly regarded Chen Jiliang as his own, and then motioned for Chen Jiliang to sit down, and then took out the roster sent to him by Zhang Shanlin, intending to learn some information from Chen Jiliang's mouth, and complete the captains of the remaining twelve ships from the list.

At this time, Chen Jiliang had just joined the Beiyang Army for two or three years, and he had little contact with officialdom, so he did not have the kind of caution in officialdom.

After listening to Yang Xingguo's purpose for calling him, Chen Jiliang was not afraid of offending people, and analyzed all the people he knew on the list.

After Chen Jiliang's analysis, he actually found a few future admirals from the list who had an impression on him, but were not very famous.

Through Chen Jiliang's analysis of them, Yang Xingguo affirmed that Chen Jiliang neither exaggerated nor faked, and completely helped himself analyze the naval officers in his hands with a completely realistic attitude.

After arranging all the captains, Yang Xingguo finally fixed his eyes on Li Jie, who had not spoken beside him.

Li Jie also looked at Yang Xingguo nervously at this time, waiting for Yang Xingguo to speak.

Since Yang Xingguo promoted Chen Jiliang to captain of the navy, Li Jie has understood that his coming here today must have something to do with his future.

As an officer, no one wants to be promoted through military merits, lead more troops, and fight bigger battles, and the same is true for Li Jie!
