Chapter 491: Acceptance

The Cam Ranh Bay Squadron has seven large warships, and the small ships of the Guangdong Navy Division cannot resist it at all, and if the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet has bad intentions, there is no need to talk nonsense, and all the officers and men of the Navy Division have no doubts about Chen Hao's words. When Chen Hao shouted, only some of the soldiers heard it, and under word of mouth, most of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division knew the truth, and they all clamored.

On the warship where He Chengdong and others were, many middle- and low-level officers and soldiers came to the deck to inquire, but they were reprimanded by He Chengdong and others. Although the low-ranking officers were dismissed, the officials also knew that it was impossible to continue to intercept the Cam Ranh Bay fleet, so He Chengdong said loudly in the direction of the Zhenwei: "Lord Admiral, I will get out of the way immediately, and I hope that my lord will be able to speak my word, and immediately deploy the warships in accordance with the regulations after docking." ”

Chen Hao said with a straight face: "This official will come according to the charter, after the merger of the warships, which adult should be under the jurisdiction of which adult, there will never be the slightest deviation." ”

The Cam Ranh Bay squadron soon approached the dock, and this time the officers of the Dry Water Division did not dare to snub Chen Hao, and stepped forward to greet them. Chen Hao lightly stepped aside and said: "The imperial court has sent an angel to deliver the decree, you can follow me to welcome the decree first!" ”

The eunuch surnamed Liu sent by the imperial court to deliver the decree had already taken the benefits of Chen Hao on the ship, and the Gonggong Liu was also quite indignant when the Guangdong Navy Division intercepted the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. After he got off the boat with an angry face, Chen Hao led the sailor officials to kneel down to receive the order, and when they heard the imperial court's decree to let Chen Baxian, the commander of the Guangdong sailor, adjust the sailor officials by himself, He Chengdong and others changed their faces.

These officials finally understood why Chen Baxian agreed to allocate warships according to the charter, for example, under which command belt is the new ship assigned to, and the Admiral directly replaced the command belt? What made them even more frustrated was that after Gonggong Liu passed on the holy decree, he said without yin or yang: "What Lord Chen said on the warship, our family listened to it very badly, and I will report to the Queen Mother when I return to the palace." Everyone, do it yourself! ”

After Gonggong Liu walked away, Chen Hao said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the seven ironclad ships are here, let's see how the seven warships should be distributed!" Your suggestions will be fully taken into account. ”

The faces of the officials were extremely ugly, and before Gonggong Liu issued the decree, they wished that the warships were under their command, but now they would not have this thought. The imperial court directly handed over the personnel power of the sailor to the admiral. If the new ironclad ship is under his command, and the Admiral is not at ease with himself, the easiest way is of course to remove himself.

This Admiral can do anything wrong, anyway, the court can't do anything about him, but these NPC officials don't dare to disobey the imperial court's holy decree. Now that their future is in the hands of the Admiral, who can remove them from his post at any time, they have no confidence in confrontation.

After thinking about the situation he was facing, a cadre of officials said weakly: "Everything is up to the Admiral." ”

Chen Hao pointed to an official wearing a new military uniform next to him and said, "This Lord Wu believes that everyone is familiar with him, he went to Cam Ranh Bay after the Battle of Tsushima Sea fought by the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. Now he is serving as the town of the Governor Pipe Belt. You are all excellent sailor generals, and the official doesn't like to drive people to a dead end, if you unite as one, the official will be reused. ”

"Of course, if someone wants to make trouble, such as setting up Lord Ben or something, such a person and an official will never dare to stay. Now, my lords, take a stand! Those who are willing to stay in the sailor camp will say it, and if they are unwilling, the official will give them a coil, where to go. I think there are a lot of people here who have the support of high-ranking officials behind them. I'm afraid that I can't look down on the small temple of the water master, so let's get together and disperse. ”

He Chengdong, who took the lead in opposing Chen Hao, has a flexible brain. He quickly thought of the crux of the matter, Lord Admiral, this is a combination of grace and power. If you support him to serve as the commander of the navy, Wu Jingrong is the best example, he turned the pipe belt of a torpedo boat into the pipe belt of a battleship, and the officials present are more capable than him, and they will definitely have a chance to get ahead.

If you are not loyal to the Admiral. That can only roll up and leave, don't want to stay in the sailor camp. Now that the Admiral has the power of personnel, he has the support of seven large warships, and he has also received the support of the middle and low-level officers and soldiers of the Guangdong Naval Division, and no one can shake his position.

It's a good choice to take refuge in this new Admiral. Although the Admiral was under the jurisdiction of the Governor, the Admiral was not under the Governor, and he had a powerful fleet in his hands, so even the Imperial Court did not dare to offend him too harshly. In his remarks, he pointed out that many of them had the support of the Governor, apparently telling everyone present that if they were to be loyal to him, they would have to oppose the Governor. The admiral who has mastered the water division may not suffer a loss if he fights with the governor, and the county magistrate is better to be in charge now, otherwise he will be removed from his post immediately, and it is useless to have the support of the governor.

He Chengdong took the lead in opposing the Admiral, and now he doesn't know the current affairs, needless to say, he must be the first to be shot. After thinking about it, he said decisively: "The lower official is willing to do his best to do things for the Admiral, and I hope that the Lord will help him more in the future." ”

Chen Hao laughed and said: "Lord He's ability is known to the official, as long as you work together in the future, the official will not treat you badly." ”

He Chengdong was very undisciplined in his loyalty to Chen Hao, and after receiving Chen Hao's understanding, other officials expressed their willingness to be loyal. There are more than 30 warships in the Guangdong Naval Division, and more than 3,000 people have really fallen into the hands of Chen Hao, and he will gradually hire key NPCs in the future to firmly grasp the Naval Division.

After the last opposing official pledged his allegiance to Chen Hao, Chen Hao quickly received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, due to your grace and subjugation of the Guangdong Naval Division, you won the first round of the battle with Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Shangguan and Guangzhou, congratulations on increasing your scheming attribute by 1 point." ”

After Chen Hao subdued the sailor, he immediately ordered the sailor to be rectified, and he placed seven ironclad ships under the name of He Chengdong and others. His trust made He Chengdong and the others extremely moved, and he had a little more good impression of him, in fact, he dared to do this because the officers and soldiers on the seven warships were all NPCs hired by him, and he didn't have to worry about betrayal at all, although these warships were nominally under the command of He Chengdong and others, but without his order, the warships would not act without their own actions.

After the rectification was completed, Chen Hao began to fight the idea of the Whampoa Shipyard again, and he had to control the shipyard in his hands. The Guangdong Navy Division will supply some new ships in the future, and it will also need to sell warships for maintenance and military expenses, which is too thin to rely on the Mawei Shipyard alone.

Chen Hao convened a meeting of all the officials above the command band of the Navy Division, and he said straight to the point: "Many of the ships of the Navy Division are aging, and this officer is going to sell some old warships to Yiren, and then build some advanced warships. Huangpu Shipyard is the key to the prosperity of our sailors, no matter what, we must hold it in our hands, what do you think? ”

He Chengdong took the lead and said: "My lord, the Whampoa Shipyard is under the jurisdiction of the Governor, if he does not agree, we are afraid that it will be difficult to produce warships." There is some misunderstanding between the Lord and the Governor, so it would be much easier to visit him and obtain the Governor's understanding. ”

Chen Hao said lightly: "This official has already visited the governor's yamen on the day he took office, and the governor does not see this official, and this official does not want to be humiliated again." Although the shipyard was under the jurisdiction of the Governor, it was closely related to our naval division, and the officer was going to send troops to station, and then recruit technicians to start producing new warships. ”

He Chengdong said sincerely: "If your Excellency occupies the shipyard without the support of the Governor, and the Governor does not pay for the construction of warships, it will be difficult for your Excellency to do so. Moreover, the officers and men of our naval division battalion are nominally under the command of the governor, and the military expenses are also allocated by the governor. ”

Chen Hao suddenly laughed and said, "Lord He's advice has been listened to, but the shipyard must be occupied, and the warship must be built immediately." As for the military expenses and shipbuilding costs, all of them were settled by the officer, who captured a lot after winning the battle against the Japanese, and he could afford it in a short time. ”

"The salary of the general officer of Cam Ranh Bay is twice as high as that of the officers and men of the naval division, and in the future, all the officers and men of the naval division will be doubled according to the standard of Cam Ranh Bay. The lords here are five times more in charge, but if anyone dares to eat empty salaries, the officials will not be spared. ”

"The lower officials don't dare."

An official of the Dry Water Division secretly congratulated himself on his choice, this Admiral is really strong! With a strong strength in his hands, he can not rely on the Governor's Mansion for military spending, and the Governor really has no way to take him. Even if the governor plays the imperial court, this is a celebrity in the eyes of Lafayette, who Lafayette supports!

The enthusiasm of the subordinate officials was very high, and after Chen Hao gave the order, He Chengdong quickly concentrated the officers and soldiers of the 1,000th Water Division. Chen Hao instructed Feng Yong to lead a thousand Cam Ranh Bay Marines to follow, and the two thousand troops drove towards the shipyard, and when they arrived at the gate of the shipyard, two guards were about to intercept them, and they were immediately thrown aside by Feng Yong and his people.

"Obediently let Lao Tzu stay here, Lord Admiral ordered, if anyone dares to obstruct the affairs of the sailor battalion, they will be shot on the spot."

The two guards did not dare to squeak, and the two thousand soldiers of the sailor battalion quickly took control of the Whampoa shipyard. There are three NPCs who angrily accuse the Sailor Battalion of misconduct, these three people are NPCs who have been bribed by Eagle Feather, and of course they have to do their best to take people's money. Chen Hao didn't know their relationship with Eagle Feather, but he just needed to kill the chicken to show the monkey now, so he immediately ordered the three people to be killed.

After taking full control of the shipyard, Chen Hao instructed Feng Yong to bring 500 technicians and workers from Cam Ranh Bay into the shipyard and fully take over the key positions in the shipyard. As for the high-level NPCs of the previous shipyard, all of them were sent to Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard for further study, after they arrived in Cam Ranh Bay, if they really had the ability, they would be reused, and if they were useless, they would be ready to eat in Cam Ranh Bay and wait for death!

Ying Yu had been keeping an eye on the Sailor Battalion and the shipyard, and he immediately went to the Governor's Mansion after learning that Chen Ba had taken control of the Sailor Battalion and led his troops to the shipyard. Cen Chunxuan was furious when he got the news, and immediately led the guards of the Governor's Mansion to rush towards the shipyard in a menacing manner. (To be continued......)
