Lin Daxin knew that the imperial court had established 3 new armies at once, pouted, did not care, and did not feel any threat, his Dingbei Army now has 15 integrated divisions, and Lin Daxin also decided to expand the guard regiment into a guard division, that is, the 3 new armies add up to only 13 towns, and the Dingbei Army is still the most powerful military group and armed force in the Qing Dynasty.

When the new army of these 13 towns of the imperial court is trained and can be pulled to the battlefield, his Dingbei army will definitely be stronger than now, which Lin Daxin is convinced of.

The entire force under Lin Daxin's command did not disrupt the Northeast immigration plan formulated because of the imperial court's training of the new army, and a large number of poor people from all over the country who were going to the Northeast still came to Weihaiwei every day, and then went to the Northeast by boat.

By the end of January 1896, nearly 11 million immigrants from the provinces had come to the Northeast, plus 3 million people from the original three northeastern provinces and 8 million people from Yalujiang Province, bringing the population of the four northeastern provinces to 22 million. Under the auspices of Lin Daxin's cousin Wang Yan, the four northeastern provinces also began the construction of various localities and the implementation of the new policies in the northeast.

This Northeast New Deal was put forward by Lin Daxin, and the main contents include law, military service, education, taxation, transportation, industry, agriculture, finance, etc., all of which were drawn by Lin Daxin from many modern time and space, government provisions in all aspects, and formulated according to the actual situation of the four northeastern provinces.

Among them, the new policy in Northeast China stipulates that all ethnic groups in the four northeastern provinces are equal, and not only the immigrants who come from the customs are allocated land. Originally, the poor people in the four northeastern provinces, including the Korean poor in Yalujiang Province, were also allocated land according to the standard of 10 mu per person.

These Northeast New Deal provisions. Although it has received the support of a large number of poor people in the four northeastern provinces, it has also touched the interests of some Manchu nobles in the three northeastern provinces. No longer oppressed and exploited by them.

Because of the implementation of the New Deal in Northeast China, these Manchu nobles in the Northeast began to move, and some even began to connect with the Manchu nobles in Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. is going to organize a big operation, to give Lin Daxin a powerful color to see.

Lin Daxin has been staying in Weihaiwei since his wedding, accompanying his two newlywed wives, and living a life of envy of mandarin ducks and not immortals. He is in charge of various matters in the four northeastern provinces. And Weihai Acropolis and the surrounding villages and towns. After the incident of someone digging tunnels to bomb Lin Mansion, it was taken over by the Dingbei Army, and part of the green battalion soldiers of the original Weihai Acropolis were disbanded on the spot, and part of them were incorporated into the Dingbei Army, and most of the green battalion soldiers disbanded on the spot entered the factories under Lin Daxin's name.

Although the government of the imperial court in the Weihai Acropolis is still there, and the officials appointed by the imperial court are still performing their duties in the Weihai Acropolis, the Weihai Acropolis is actually in the hands of Lin Daxin.

On January 29, 1896, Lin Daxin happily took Chen Ergou, who had become the commander of the Guards Division. Under the protection of a large number of officers and soldiers of the Guards Division, they came to the Weihaiwei Shipyard.

Today can be said to be three joys for Lin Daxin. When Lin Daxin accompanied his two wives Ding Xueshan and Du Juan to have breakfast early this morning, Ding Xueshan suddenly felt nauseous and then retched, and then Du Juan also began to retch, Lin Daxin immediately found the doctor in the Lin Mansion, but Lin Daxin was ecstatic. His two wives Ding Xueshan and Du Juan are both pregnant, which means that Lin Daxin is going to be a father! This is a double happiness!

Lin Daxin hurriedly asked the doctor to prescribe a few pairs of medicinal food for the two wives to stabilize the fetus, so that the subordinates of the Lin Mansion would often cook food for Ding Xueshan and Du Juan according to the medicinal diet in the future, and then Lin Daxin immediately sent someone to report the good news to the elders.

Lin Daxin, who was still in joy, received the news brought by Wei Han from the shipyard that the eight fast protection cruisers built by the shipyard could be officially delivered to the naval fleet of the Naval Academy today.

These eight fast protection cruisers were the first batch of warships built by the Weihaiwei Shipyard, and they should have been completed and delivered to the navy a long time ago, but because of the insufficient boiler pressure of the warships in the sea trials, the machinery and equipment manufacturing plant that produced the boilers sent workers to repair the boilers of the eight warships, so it was not completely completed until now.

However, after all, the first batch of warships built by themselves can enter the Navy of the Naval Academy, which can also be described as a great joy. Lin Daxin, who was about to come to the door, was happy as if he was blooming.

Lin Daxin's grandmother and mother, who got the news of Ding Xueshan and Du Juan's pregnancy in Lin Mansion, asked Lin Daxin to go about his own business, and the two daughters were taken care of by them. At this time, Ding Ruchang, who got his daughter pregnant, and Lin Yongsheng, who knew that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, also rushed to the Lin Mansion. Ding Ruchang and Lin Yongsheng also knew that today was the day when the eight fast protection cruisers built by Weihaiwei Shipyard joined the naval fleet of the Naval Academy.

Let Lin Daxin hurry to the shipyard, there are their elders at home, and Lin Daxin doesn't have to worry about it, so Lin Daxin happily came to participate in the ceremony of the entry into service of the 8 fast protection cruisers.

When Lin Daxin came to the Weihaiwei Shipyard, Wei Han, the head of the shipyard, Yu Fu, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, and Chen Ming, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, were already waiting on the dock at the dock.

These 8 fast protection cruisers have been decided by Lin Daxin to be assigned to the Fourth and Fifth Fleets, 4 ships each. In this regard, Jiang Hui, the commander of the Third Fleet, also came to Lin Daxin, and Jiang Hui tactfully reminded Lin Daxin that Lin Daxin once said that he would belong to his fleet with these 8 newly built fast protection cruisers, why doesn't it count now!

Lin Daxin gave Jiang Hui a roll of the eyes, the Third Fleet already has 13 large fast armored cruisers with a displacement of more than 7,000 tons, and the strength of the 5 fleets is already one of the best, and you have to leave a soup for the brothers of the other fleets!

When Yu Fu saw Lin Daxin coming, he shouted with a smile when he was far away: "Dashuai, you are interesting enough this time, remember the old man's Fourth Fleet!" ”

Lin Daxin walked towards Yu Fu and said, "Uncle Yu." You still call me Daxin! Listening to you, you are old, calling me handsome, I don't feel good! ”

Yu Fu shook his head and said, "Dashuai is now the governor of the four northeastern provinces. There are hundreds of thousands of horses under my command, and I can't be special old man, I have to be respectful and humble, so I should be called handsome! ”

Lin Daxin smiled bitterly and didn't say anything anymore, no matter what Fu called, it wouldn't affect the affection of his uncle and nephew anyway.

Chen Ming, who was beside Yu Fu, said with a smile: "Principal, there are 4 new fast protection cruisers. Our Fifth Fleet is a bit of a show! ”

Lin Daxin knew that Chen Ming, as the commander of the Fifth Fleet, had always been angry that the Fifth Fleet only had three main warships, and that the transfer of four new warships to the Fifth Fleet this time also had the idea of enhancing the strength of the Fifth Fleet.

Lin Daxin smiled: "There will be a chance in the future." I'll remember to equip your Fifth Fleet with some more warships! ”

Chen Ming was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, principal!" Thank you, Principal! You have to remember! ”

Wei Han next to him didn't have these scruples of Yu Fu, and said, "Daxin! The 8 fast protection cruisers are ready, just waiting for you to preside over the commissioning ceremony, and they can be officially delivered to the 4th and 5th fleets of the Navy at the Naval Academy! ”

Lin Daxin said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wei!" Then the ritual begins! ”

The docks of the shipyard prepared quite a few firecrackers. 8 fast protection cruisers were also hung with streamers. The navy personnel needed on the 8 warships were already standing on the deck of the warships in brand-new white military uniforms, waiting for the firecrackers to be released, and Lin Daxin announced that the 8 warships had joined the naval sequence of the Sailor Academy.

At this time, a company commander of the Guards Division ran to Chen Ergou's side and said for a while, Chen Ergou immediately walked quickly to Lin Daxin's side and whispered, "Principal! Something happened in the Northeast! ”

The smile that had been hanging on Lin Daxin's face disappeared immediately, "Ergou, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Ergou said: "In the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Fengtian in the northeast, bandits have attacked the settlement points in many places, and some Manchus in the three provinces have also attacked the Han immigrants!" The specific casualties have not yet been reported! ”

Lin Daxin's face instantly became gloomy. Said viciously: "Some people are just impatient! ”

Subsequently, the commissioning ceremony of the 8 fast protection cruisers ended hastily, and the speech that Lin Daxin had prepared was also canceled. Yu Fu and Chen Ming asked Lin Daxin to name the eight fast protection cruisers, and Lin Daxin, who was in a bad mood, directly named the four fast protection cruisers Fang No. 1, Fang No. 2, Fang No. 3 and Fang No. 4 and assigned them to the Fourth Fleet.

The remaining four fast-defending cruisers named Anti-V, Anti-VI, Anti-VII and Anti-VIII were assigned to the Fifth Fleet.

Since then, this kind of fast-protection cruiser that has been built in large numbers has been called the anti-defense class, and the name of the warship has always been named according to the number after the word "anti".

In the wry smile of the two fleet commanders, Lin Daxin hurriedly left the shipyard dock, although the two fleet commanders felt that Lin Daxin's name was not good, but since Lin Daxin had already named the 8 fast protection cruisers, no one would object.

After Lin Daxin returned to the office of the Sailor Academy, he said to Chen Ergou: "Ergou, go and see if there is any latest telegram from the Northeast!" If so, bring it to me right away! ”

After Chen Ergou left, Lin Daxin scolded a few more words, and began to consider a large-scale clean-up operation in the four northeastern provinces, and the bandits and bullies in the northeast, as well as those Manchu supporters, should be eliminated.

After a while, Chen Ergou and Li Kun, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, walked into the office together, and Chen Ergou said to Lin Daxin: "Principal, a telegram has been sent from the Northeast, and it is already known that only around Shengjing in Fengtian Province there are 3 settlements that have been looted by bandits and Manchu forces, and the immigrants in the 3 settlements, from newborn babies to old people in their seventies and eighties, have all been brutally killed!" ”

Li Kun continued: "Our military intelligence bureau has just received news that this time those Manchu nobles in the northeast contacted each other to organize Manchu armies and hire bandits to attack the settlements!" It's a pity that when our military intelligence got the news, it was already a little late! ”

With a sound of "Horn-", Lin Daxin slapped the desk hard, gritted his teeth and said: "Ergou, send a telegram to the Dingbei Army in all parts of the Northeast!" Order all units of the Dingbei Army to carry out a clean-up operation in the four northeastern provinces from now on! Exterminate all the bandits in the four northeastern provinces, and those who resist will be killed! The weapons of the Manchu armed forces in the three provinces of Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang were confiscated, and those who refused to hand over their weapons were killed! There is no mercy for the bandits and Manchu diehards who participated in the attack on the settlements and the killing of the migrants! There is no forgiveness for those who instigated trouble in the four northeastern provinces! There is no mercy for the masterminds who plotted the attack on immigrants! ”

Chen Ergou heard Lin Daxin say 5 killings in a row, and his heart was full, it seemed that the principal was really angry, and immediately shouted: "Yes!" Headmaster! Then he turned around and went to send a telegram to the Dingbei Army in the four northeastern provinces.

Lin Daxin said to Li Kun, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau: "You immediately take the backbone of the Intelligence Bureau to the Northeast and cooperate with the clean-up operations of the Dingbei Army in various places!" Remember, the Manchu nobles in the Northeast will go through me like a sieve, and those who are involved in this matter will be severely punished! ”

Li Kun nodded thoughtfully and left the office. (To be continued......)
