"Chen Baxian made great contributions to the suppression of the bandits, appointed Chen Baxian as the commander of the Nanyang Navy and concurrently served as the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, and ordered him to be the minister of the Qin Mission, and thoroughly investigated the case of the Shanghai Revolutionary Party's bandits attacking the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau......"

Chen Hao was a little dazed, he just wanted the vacant title of Admiral of the Nanyang Naval Division, but he didn't expect the Guangdong Naval Division to belong to him. He quickly figured out the key, the Empress Dowager Cixi sent Li Lianying to deliver the decree, obviously he could get so much benefit Li Lianying has made a lot of efforts, and the silver of filial piety over the years has not been in vain.

After reading the holy decree, Li Lianying said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Chen for becoming an official and becoming a knight, when our family came, Lafayette asked me to tell you a few words, you can be promoted to become rich because of your loyalty to Lafayette, and it has nothing to do with some court officials, don't communicate with those who shouldn't come and go in the future!" ”

Chen Hao understood and knew that the Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid of Yuan Shikai, so he said with sincere fear: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials and the upper officials are official dealings, and I only know that I am loyal to Lafayette." ”

Li Lianying smiled: "That's the best. ”

Chen Hao set up a banquet to entertain Li Lianying, and gave Li Lianying a silver ticket of 30,000 taels during the banquet, which is a real big deal. He felt that it was worth spending so much money, and the significance of the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy was much greater than the control of the South Seas, and Chen Hao could be said to have truly become the overlord of the southern seas of China when he got this position.

There is the Whampoa Shipyard in Guangdong, and although it cannot build large warships, it has the basis for building destroyers and torpedo boats. Docks and the like are ready-made, and there are a lot of workers, Chen Hao only needs to send a small number of technicians to the shipyard to operate the Huangpu Shipyard into a second shipbuilding base.

The Whampoa Shipyard does not need to produce large ships, as long as it produces passable destroyers and torpedo boats, and then sells them to players. In addition to the Huangpu Shipyard in the south, there is another shipyard that makes Chen Hao more excited, that is, Mawei Shipyard. Mawei Shipyard is located in Fujian. Historically, 40 ships were built for the Qing government, equivalent to 80% of the Qing Dynasty's self-built ships, including cruisers such as Guangjia, Guangyi, and Guangc.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, Mawei Shipyard has been operating dismally, in 1907 the Qing government ordered to stop shipbuilding, after the Xinhai Revolution in history, no one cared about shipbuilding, Mawei Shipyard even reduced to selling scrap iron to survive. The game is still in 1907. The Mawei shipyard is still on the shelves, and there are more than 3,000 shipbuilders, and it is not impossible to bring the shipyard back to life if it can provide funds and technology.

The Mawei Shipyard was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Minzhejiang, but after the first afternoon, the successive Governors of Minzhejiang no longer paid attention to shipbuilding, and Chen Hao controlled the Nanyang Naval Division and concurrently served as the Admiral of the Guangdong Naval Division, and there was absolutely no problem in ordering warships in the Mawei Shipyard. What Mawei Shipyard lacks is orders and technology, if Chen Hao is willing to order warships and provide technology and talents, this is a great thing for the dismal Mawei Shipyard.

Chen Hao is certainly not a saint. He did this with the aim of taking the Mawei shipyard into his pocket. After he sent people to the Mawei Shipyard, he could let a group of skilled shipbuilding technicians from the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard join the Mawei Shipyard in the name of technical exchanges, and at the same time the workers of the Mawei Shipyard would go to Cam Ranh Bay.

Every time you don't have to move too many people, after a year and a half, many of the former NPC technicians and workers in Mawei Shipyard will be co-opted, and the shipyard will really fall into Chen Hao's hands. If something happens, Chen Hao can transfer all the equipment and talents of the shipyard through a powerful navy. Only an empty shell remains.

The Whampoa Shipyard in Guangdong was simpler, and as the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy, he already had the power to manage the shipyard. Toss as much as you want. The official position of Admiral of Guangdong Naval Division appointed by the Empress Dowager Cixi brought Chen Hao no less benefits than the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard, and he temporarily formed a monopoly in China in terms of shipbuilding.

The second benefit of this position is the ships and talents, and the Guangdong Navy currently has 34 ships, all of which are old-fashioned boats. Ships are secondary, and what Chen Hao wants is naval talent. The more than 4,000 naval officers and men of the Guangdong Navy Division have all become his subordinates, what a valuable treasure is this?

Chen Hao would establish a small base along the coast of Guangdong, and then divide the Guangdong Navy Division, so that all the more than 4,000 naval officers and sailors could be hired by him as much as possible.

Except for Beiyang, all the navies and shipyards in China fell into the hands of Chen Hao. Beiyang is close to the capital. It is unlikely that the system will give the player control of the Beiyang Naval Division, as it will be very difficult for the player to land and suddenly start an uprising after mastering the Beiyang. In the future, even if Huaxia players have ships, they will have to look at Chen Hao's face to act, and he has truly become the overlord of the Huaxia coast.

Another advantage of serving as the admiral of the Guangdong Navy is that he can make brazen use of Guangxi's ports, and Qinzhou and Beihai can send warships to anchor at any time. Chen Hao's main base was built in Guizhou, and many times the transportation of materials had to pass through the ports of Guangxi, so there was no need to sneak around in the future.

The base area in Guizhou has been developing secretly, that is, it is too far away from Cam Ranh Bay to support, for fear of being jointly suppressed by players. After controlling the two ports in Guangxi, Chen Hao could support the base areas on land at any time, and if someone attacked Guizhou from Guangxi, he could land at sea at any time and cut off the enemy's retreat.

Chen Haoyu and Li Lianying had a very happy conversation, and after he was full of wine and food, he smiled and said: "Gonggong Li, thanks to the Empress Dowager's fancy appointment of me as the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy, of course I have to do something." My father-in-law knew that I had a lot of ships in Nanyang and that there were some difficulties in anchoring, so I was going to add a military port in Guangxi and merge the ships into the Guangdong Navy Division to serve the imperial court. ”

Li Lianying laughed and said: "Lord Chen is willing to hand over his ship to the imperial court, most of the Lafayettes will not refuse such a good thing, you are optimistic about where to use as a military port to tell our family, and our family will tell Lafayette on your behalf!" ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Li."

Li Lianying didn't stop after reaping the benefits, he stood up and said: "Lord Chen, our family's mission this time is also completed, Lord Chen is still concurrently serving as the minister of the Qincha, let's hurry up and arrest the rebels!" We're leaving. ”

"I'll send my father-in-law."

Chen Hao personally sent Li Lianying to the dock, and before leaving, he stuffed Li Lianying with a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, and asked Li Lianying to say a few words to let his Cam Ranh Bay fleet be stationed in Guangxi. After Li Lianying left, he immediately called Ma Sanbao to the General Manufacturing Bureau, and said lightly: "Master Ma, the imperial court appointed me as the minister of the Qin Mission to thoroughly investigate the chaotic party, but the official is busy with affairs, and he is going to go to the Guangdong Navy Division to have a look.
