On February 16, the 15th year of the Chinese Wucheng Dynasty, Su Xiaochun, the chief treasurer of the 36th Sino-Japanese Xingsheng in the Western Ocean, broke the news that the Huaxia Military Department adhered to Zheng Kezang's will, and announced the new establishment of the Heilongjiang Inland River Naval Division and the Eighth Division of the Longxiang Army, and announced that it would adjust the system of the existing four major foreign naval divisions.
In this readjustment, the Beiguo Naval Division was renamed the Zhenbei Naval Division, and it had jurisdiction over seven towns, including Lushun, Jiaoao, Seogwipo, Ishikagawa Port, Kushiro Port, Wokuo Bay, and Kunodo Island Dry Leaf (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk) Port, as well as the First Patrol Fleet, the Third Patrol Fleet, the Seventh Patrol Fleet, the First Mail Fleet, the Ninth Signal Fleet, the First Army Ship Fleet, and the Fourth Army Ship Fleet, as well as the Third Division of the Longxiang Army. Among them, the 7th Patrol Fleet and the 9th Letter Fleet were formally expanded from the Ezo Land Detachment, and after the formation of the army, they were mainly responsible for the patrol missions from the 6th and 6th of Japan to Kanto, Kunai Island, and the Kuril Islands, and were ordered to explore the waters north and east of the Kuril Islands and to search for the Fuso Da6.
The 3rd Division of the Longxiang Army also adjusted its troop deployment, and the main force of the division was withdrawn from the Liaodong front; The division headquarters and the division's middle base, baggage, artillery and other regiments were stationed in Jiaoao; The subordinate 1st Brigade was transferred to the Haidong Prefecture to be responsible for the defense of Ezo and the Kuril Islands; The division's white corps returned to the town of Xiguipo to defend the town; The 3rd Brigade moved north to Wokuowan Town to defend the mansion and prepared to be engaged in the battle against the Qing court on the front line of the Tongmen River (Tumen River), and only the 2nd Brigade of the division remained in Lushun, ready to join the frontal battlefield in Liaodong at any time.
The Zhejiang Sea Division was also renamed the Zhendong Water Division, but the sequence of the town guards, fleets, and detachments in its establishment remained unchanged, except that the Second Division of the Longxiang Army, which was originally under its jurisdiction, was replaced by the newly formed Fifth Division of the Longxiang Army.
The Fujian-Taiwan Naval Division was renamed the Zhennan Naval Division, and had jurisdiction over four towns, including Haitan, Keelung, Nanao, and Pingtung, as well as the Third Cruiser Fleet, the Fourth Cruiser Fleet, the Sixth Cruise Fleet, the Fourth Letter Ship Fleet, the Second Army's Ship Fleet, and the First Division of the Longxiang Army.
The Fujian-Taiwan Naval Division was originally part of the Labuan Detachment, and its Fifth Patrol Fleet was incorporated into the newly established Sulu Naval Division. The Sulu Naval Division is responsible for cruising the eastern waters of the South China Sea and the western side of the Sulu Sea, the western side of the Sulawesi Sea, and the western side of the Sulawesi Sea to the western side of the Makassar Strait.
The Sulu Navy Division has jurisdiction over five towns, including Sandakan, Long Island, Labuan, Sinjin and Balikpapan, as well as the 5th Patrol Fleet, the 8th Patrol Fleet, the 5th Letter Boat Fleet, the 6th Letter Boat Fleet, the 7th Army Ship Fleet and the 2nd Division of the Long Champang Army.
The Western Fleet was renamed the Zhenxi Fleet, and had jurisdiction over six towns, including Xiangshanao, Baishazhai in Qiongzhou, Anyou Port in Qiongzhou, Guangnan Hongji, Cam Ranh Bay, and Cardamom Bay (Kampong Son Port), as well as the Pearl River River Fleet, the Mekong River River Fleet, the Fifth Cruiser Fleet, the Second Cruise Fleet, the Tenth Cruise Fleet, the Third Letter Ship Fleet, the Seventh Letter Ship Fleet, the Sixth Army Ship Fleet, and the Fourth Division of the Longxiang Army. The fleet is responsible for cruising the western waters of the South China Sea west of Nan'ao Island, including the Guangdong Sea, Qionghai, Quang Nam Bay (Beibu Gulf), Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, and the Gulf of Siam.
The original Western Naval Division Strait Fleet was expanded into the East Tianzhu Naval Division, which had jurisdiction over eight towns including Lingyamen, Songkhla, Penang, Puji (Phuket), Tianzhu (Andaman), Pontianak, Jeddahbang, and Machen, as well as the Sixth Cruiser Fleet, the Ninth Patrol Fleet, the Eleventh Patrol Fleet, the Eighth Letter Ship Fleet, the Tenth Letter Ship Fleet, the Fifth Army Ship Fleet, the Eighth Army Ship Fleet, and the Sixth Division of the Longxiang Army.
The East Tianzhu Fleet is mainly responsible for the vigilance of the entire Malay Peninsula, the coasts of Southwest Borneo and South Borneo, and the patrol missions in the Andaman Sea, and makes some preparations for the next stage of expanding the sphere of influence of China in the coastal areas of East Tianzhu.
However, judging from the ultimate purpose of this adjustment of the establishment, Zheng Kezhang obviously hoped to further strengthen the existence of the Huaxia Naval Division in the north and south directions in addition to continuing to maintain its absolute superiority in the East Asian Seas: the purpose of strengthening the Zhenbei Naval Division was to block Russia's efforts in the Northeast Pacific and actively explore the shipping routes to the Saeki Giant Kingdom (Kamchatka) and Fuso Continent (North America), while the goal of the new East Tianzhu Naval Division and the Sulu Naval Division was completely aimed at the East India Company of European countries. In particular, the United East India Company of the Netherlands has a zĆ i??????
In addition, in this adjustment, the Longxiang Army became a big winner, and when the 6th Division was dismantled one after another, it was expanded to 8 divisions against the trend, becoming a veritable First Army in China??????
On the seventh day after the order of the military department was issued, Lord Hana, who had returned from the Tianzhu Town Guard, came to Dawei again. Fang Yunchun, who once again received him on behalf of the thirty-six Western families, put the anti-construction yƬ that he finally reached in front of Lord Hua.
"Please Mingjian, the so-called emperor is not a hungry soldier, although we and other small people will not be abandoned by the saint and given the status of the internal domain, but there are also some of their own ideas that are not unhappy, and please talk about the requirements of the small people, whether it is successful or not, the small people and others are grateful for the help of the adults."
Of course, the verbal expression is not counted, but the heavy plate of gold and silver coins is placed in front of him, and he can't help but smile: "These conditions are indeed not something that the official can agree, but with a show of hands, the governor of the house is too polite, and the official deserves it." ā
How could Fang Yunchun take back the money, so he said: "These are just expenses for adults' activities, and they are not a heavy gift." As long as the adults can help to promote, the small people will be grateful in the future. ā
Lord Hua looked at the money, looked down at the requirements in the document, and muttered for a moment: "The imperial court has a clear rule that it is not allowed to sell ordnance, even if there is a privateer certificate, it can only buy the fine iron cannon from the inner court smelter from the government, as for the steel cannon, the imperial court itself is not fully equipped and it is naturally impossible to sell it." Gunpowder can find a way, but it can't go the right way, this officer can build a bridge for you, but the weight is absolutely limited, too much, the metropolitan prison and the military law department will notice. ā
"We don't expect steel cannons, so I don't know if the bronze cannons that are ready to be eliminated in the army can be sold."
The Chinese sailors have been rarely equipped with copper cannons, one is too bulky, the other is too expensive, but there are always exceptions, the sailors have also cast a batch of bronze cannons with different tin and lead content for salt corrosion resistance tests, but with the gradual equipment of cast steel cannons, bronze cannons have not continued to be used.
Lord Hua's eyes rolled: "I'm afraid the price is not small, one can be worth the usual two fine iron cannons, are you still going to ask for it?" ā
Fang Yunchun affirmed: "If the imperial court is willing to sell, then no matter how big the price, we are willing to buy it." ā
"Then the official will help you ask." Mr. Hua crossed this noncommittally. "Negotiate the number of conscription ships in advance, this is no problem, the imperial court will not drain your ships, so that you can't hold your skills. As for how much to be transferred each time, I have a rough bottom, almost two boats from the hereditary prefect and four boats from the hereditary prefect, but this ship is big and small, and the imperial court can only decide which ships to draw after you have checked your family background. ā
Fang Yunchun smiled and said: "With the words of the adult, we have made up our minds, and we can still accept this number." ā
"Don't be in a hurry to nod your head first, what if the transferred ship is not in port, or if you don't want to take it out?"
Fang Yunchun discussed with the people on the side for a while, and gave a reply: "If the foreign ship drawn by the imperial court is not there, we have one to make up for it, in short, the size is similar and the manpower is the same, it really doesn't work, our thirty-six families have their own internal adjustments, in short, we will not miss the affairs of the imperial court, please be sure to tell Lord Hua to be in the ranks." ā
"That's good, but it's impossible for you to ask the court for a salary." Lord Hua pointed to a certain article in the love letter and said. "Even if it's just to give the promotion fee when the army is dispatched, it's impossible, after all, you are not a soldier of the imperial court, and it is impossible to have a salary, otherwise this account and army department will not be fair, as for the appropriation fee, the saint hates this the most, and whoever sets this precedent will commit suicide, so I can't help you." Speaking of which, Lord Hua changed his words. "Of course, there are always workarounds in things, the imperial court has always had regulations on seizures, as long as you contribute, your share will not be less, and this may not be less than the appropriation fee."
Fang Yunchun also spent time in the Xia army, and naturally knew the relevant regulations in the military law, Emperor Wucheng always believed that martial artists wanted honor incentives rather than money temptations, so the rewards in the Xia army were rarely related to money, except for the sailors who ran between the wind and waves, and could get a part of the profits from the captured ship cargo.
Therefore, Fang Yunchun, who was already asking for a sky-high price, did not insist: "If the imperial court can treat everyone equally, we have no objection." ā
"This last annual tribute, this matter is not in the hands of the Ministry of War and the Water Division, it has to be decided by the people of the Governor's Yamen." This sentence has vaguely revealed the words, it turns out that the so-called granting of the status of the 36 internal vassals of the West is not a matter that has been decided by the Huaxia Imperial Court, but is just an attempt by the Western sailors, of course, the Lingyamen Protectorate is definitely involved, but whether it can be completed in the end depends on the decision of the high-level. "This official can only help you hand over this chapter, as for the result, you have to wait for news."
Fang Yunchun and the others were not familiar with the process of canonization, so they did not inadvertently show their feet by Lord Xianhua, and said vigorously: "There will be Lord Laohua as soon as ??????"
Lord Hua actually wanted to do his best to promote this matter, naturally, he was not the gratuity of the thirty-six Western families, but worried that once it was tried, it would reach Zheng Kezang's ears, and a charge of usurping the king's power was not something that his small body could hold, so he said: "On the side of the imperial court, I will try my best to dredge it, but you also have to fight for it, and let the imperial court know your strength, so that what I say will be accepted above." ā
Fang Yunchun smashed his eyes: "What do you mean?" ā
Lord Hua said with a dagger: "What this official means is that no matter how the imperial court disposes of it, you have to help the Tianzhu Town Guard Mansion first do the things on the side of Xilan beautifully, and with this credit, it is easy to do anything." ā
The thirty-six Western families also thought of this, so Fang Yunchun asked: "No problem, I just don't know when to send troops, how many ships we want to use, and how the Tianzhu Town Guard Mansion will be dispatched." ā
"At the end of March at the latest, we will send troops, first go to Tianzhu Town Guard Mansion to meet, what to do next, the Niu Town Guard Envoy of the Town Guard Mansion will explain to you." Hua Daren explained. "As for the number of ships, at least fifty ships and corresponding manpower must be needed, and only more and not less, the more the merrier??????"
