Chapter 97: Harvest (Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Rubbing shoulders with the Zhiyuan again!

Although he has cooperated with the Beiyang Navy Division twice, Tang Haoran found that he always seemed to be unable to meet the Zhiyuan, and even during this time, the Zhiyuan also came to Incheon - the old king of North Korea, Li Xi, was in Baoding, it seems that in this era, the Zhiyuan is always "hiding" itself, and naturally he will not have the opportunity to meet the famous Deng Shichang.

Although he said that it was a pity, when he left Dagu on the cruiser Jiyuan, Tang Haoran's mood was extremely comfortable -- at the moment of leaving Dagu Port, news came from the wharf -- Japan rejected Russia's ultimatum, and the Russian Empire declared war on Japan!

Japan's refusal of the ultimatum, which is both expected and unexpected, the reason why there are these two completely different premonitions, is based on the understanding of Japan, after all, the current Japan is not the Japan of a few decades, the emperor has not been deified to the point of no return, in this case, the most rational choice for Japan should be to accept Russia's conditions, the emperor personally went to Russia to apologize, as for the land reparations and then slowly talk.

What is surprising is that the "great masters" who were called "Meiji virtuous ministers" by later generations of Japanese chose another road of no return -- war, and the present Japan is not the Japan of 13 years later, and without 13 years of careful preparation and careful preparation of hundreds of millions of yen, it is not Russia's opponent, and even if the war is 13 years later, it is just a fluke to win.

Right now...... It's just self-defeating!

But Japan's dead end is exactly what Tang Haoran needs, for him. For almost a year. Japan and Korea are like a sword of Damocles that can be pierced at any moment. It's always worrying.

How to fight a country with one place?

Although Tang Haoran believed in his own construction very much, and he even believed that with the investment in the army and the use of those advanced weapons, the police force of the Unified Supervision Office would definitely be able to defeat the Japanese army in the future, but how to defeat the Japanese navy?

And the Japanese issue that is pressing on Tang Haoran's mind today has finally been finally resolved, and it is over, even if Japan is lucky enough to avoid extinction. None of the devastated wars will be able to threaten themselves again for the next decade.

Maybe I'll think about Japan now, 10 years from now? I'm afraid it's Japan's turn to think about it for itself.

Tang Haoran, who was in a very comfortable mood, even hummed the tune of "Back to the Han and Tang Dynasties" in an extremely rare voice, and now the future is bright and full of hope.

"This tune of the adults listens, but it is strange and tight! It is not a Western tune, but it is also different from a national tune! ”

Suddenly, a voice reached Tang Haoran's ears, and as soon as he turned around, Tang Haoran saw an officer wearing a military uniform of the Beiyang Navy, it was Fang Boqian!

looked at Fang Boqian, who looked humble in front of him. Tang Haoran's mind always remembered the scene of him leading his ship to escape in the Battle of the Yellow Sea three years later, although he was extremely ashamed of the person in front of him. But he had to show a smile and say:

"Let Fang Guan take a smile!"

"If you are not as proficient in Western studies as adults and are also scholars who understand China, you can't create such a combination of Chinese and Western music......"

Fang Boqian hurriedly patted his ass, the reason why he would shoot this sycophant was because of a news he heard in the Beiyang Yamen - the imperial court agreed that the Tang Lord in front of him would train a new army in North Korea, and this new army not only has a new army, but also a new navy for North Korea, which is said to be a training navy for North Korea, but that is only in name. In the final analysis, it is not a soldier trained by the Unified Supervision Office, and it is a soldier who has been trained for me, and as for North Korea, it is just a name.

On the surface, the errand of this Korean sailor is not as glamorous as Beiyang, but the people of Fujian Province in Beiyang know very well that Lord Zhongtang has long been dissatisfied with the Fujian officers, and when Beiyang was built, the people of Fujian Province had to do it as a last resort. Fortunately, the navy is different from others, and it needs to be cultivated slowly, so there is no one to replace it for the time being, but according to the current trend, even if the Lord Zhongtang will unload the mill and kill the donkey sooner or later.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Boqian will set his sights on Tang Haoran, hoping to use the division formed by the North Korean Navy Division, as in the past, to become a situation in which the generals of Fujian Province lead the naval division, and only need to form a situation in which the navy dominates Fujian Province.

Under these mental activities, Fang Boqian naturally wanted to consider his own future and the future of the township party, and naturally complimented Tang Haoran and wanted to take the opportunity to leave a good impression.

As for Tang Haoran, although he knew Fang Boqian's personality, he had no intention of offending the Beiyang Navy, so he could only be polite to him with hypocrisy, the other party praised his knowledge and the strength of military training and cultivation, and he repaid him for his essence of sea drills.

Tang Haoran, who had no intention of being polite to him, looked at Fang Boqian's appearance of being full of interest and talking, and hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"Cousin Yi, the drill of the officers and soldiers on this ship is really admirable to Tang, but when I was training in North Korea, I couldn't wait to stay in the police barracks every day to train the officers, for fear that as soon as I let go, those people would slack off......

Although it is a compliment, Fang Boqian immediately realized the problem, at this time the ship is still at sea, he is a ship pipe belt, not on the bridge but chatting with small talk, how can people be satisfied, besides, this Tang Ziran in front of him is not the middle hall, Tang Ziran only emphasizes military discipline in military training, if he is left in the North Korean police, this may be an unauthorized departure!

Fang Boqian, who realized his mistake, hurriedly remedied:

"My lord, although I am standing on the side, but I am also for the training to help lead the chief deputy pipe wheel and others, I never wanted to talk to the adults, I almost forgot about the business, I praised the job and retired, and I also ask the adults to forgive the sins, and after arriving on the shore, the job will ask the adults for their sins!"

Please forgive the sin, when you arrive in Incheon, you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge, but on the lips, I still have a polite attitude with him, and after he leaves, the corners of Tang Haoran's lips are slightly raised, revealing a little contempt.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!

What he Fang Boqian was thinking, Tang Haoran could guess one or two - North Korean sailors!

The navy is a technical branch, and running a navy is different from others, there is no money to raise money, there is no ship to buy, but only naval talents, in a hurry, can only be carefully cultivated. When Beiyang began to prepare, the students of the first pilot class of the Fujian Shipbuilding Academy had already undergone four years of classroom study and four years of maritime training, and were the closest to the modern navy in China at that time. As China's first batch of modern naval talents, the outstanding of them were sent to Britain to study in the navy, and thus the "Min system" appeared in the navy, mainly from Fujian Province, and the contradiction between the Fujian generals and non-Fujian generals ran through the Beiyang Naval Division, and the later the stricter zhòng, even Li Hongzhang had to make concessions to it many times.

The Fujian Party not only occupied the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division, but also established the Naval Academy in various places, most of which were also students or teachers who came out of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding School, who not only brought knowledge, but also often introduced their neighbors to study. When Li Hongzhang ran the Sailor School in Tianjin, he invited Yan Fu, a graduate of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding School, to be the chief teacher. Over time, the Min people became the main force of the entire modern Chinese navy.

Based on his understanding of the modern navy and the history of how the Fujian navy generals rejected generals from other provinces, Tang Haoran was vigilant against Fang Boqian's overtures, and the future "Korean" navy must not become another Beiyang navy, because the views of the provincial nationality will only increase internal friction.

If we talk about what the biggest gain of this trip to Tianjin is, I am afraid that because of Russia's declaration of war on Japan, a series of chain reactions led to zhì -- Japan, which was facing the threat of war, could no longer intervene in Korea, and the "Tianjin Treatty" of that year was naturally abolished, and the threat of mobilization in the Russian Far East made the Manchu court have to consider strengthening the defense of Korea. and also rarely allocated a million taels of silver, but this silver was divided into two, half of which was given to Yuan Shikai of Taiwan, and the other half was given to himself.

Compared with silver, Tang Haoran values the name, the silver can find a way to raise, but this name cannot be bought with money, with this name, he can train with North Korea with great fanfare, instead of training the new army in the name of the armed police force as previously planned.

"This policeman still has to be kept!"

Although there was a name for military training, Tang Haoran still decided to keep the name of the armed police force, which was only a new army in one town, and could never meet the needs of future undertakings.

"Training, training ......"

Thinking of military training, another question naturally came to Tang Haoran's mind, where are the officers, the officers of the new army? At present, the students in the "lecture martial arts hall" are still learning mathematics and the most basic military theoretical knowledge, and these officers are now unable to go up, and without officers, how can this new army train?

The practical problem made Tang Haoran, who was originally proud of completely changing history, have to frown, thinking of a solution to the problem, no matter what, this new army needs to be trained this year, otherwise not to mention the future career, even the court is not easy to deal with, after all, they have taken out a large amount of money, if nothing can be achieved in a few months, maybe how those gossip officials will give themselves eye medicine.

"Ignore him, train a group of soldiers first, and then talk about it, so as to save those people the trouble of finding themselves!"

With such muttering on his lips, Tang Haoran's mind couldn't help but move the bodies of another group of people - maybe they were unqualified officers, but at least...... At least it can be used! (To be continued......)
