While Li Maozai and others were gearing up to open a private shipyard in Taiwan's Jilong Port, thousands of miles away in Da Nang, Yan Chujie was inspecting a local shipyard jointly run by the two sides with Zheng Zheng, the eldest son of Zheng Jie, the actual ruler of Annan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Annan is currently the emperor on the table is Li Shenzong, but this emperor is just a puppet in the hands of Zheng Jie. And Zheng Zheng's actual status in Annan is no different from that of the eldest prince. Although the meeting between Yan Chujie and Zheng Zheng was under the banner of "joint military exercises", in addition to military exercises, the two sides also had many other cooperation projects to discuss, including the acceptance of the construction results of some previous cooperation projects, and the shipyard in Da Nang was one of them.

As early as 1629, after the end of the Annam Civil War, Da Nang was assigned to the Haihan as a "permanent concession" by the Annam Imperial Court, and in fact became one of the overseas enclaves controlled by the Haihan. In addition to Da Nang, there are also three seaports in Quy Nhon, Cam Ranh and Vung Tau in the southern part of Annam, which are distributed along the coastline of the Indochina Peninsula from north to south. These four concession ports were all under the rule of the South Vietnamese regime in the past, and Da Nang was not the largest of them, but because it was first occupied by Haihan, the development and construction progress and supporting facilities were also the highest among the four ports, including a large shipyard.

The cooperation agreement between Haihan and the Imperial Court of Annam also included the provision of technology by Haihan to assist Annam in the development of naval and maritime trade, and shipyards were one of the necessary means to achieve these goals. About one-third of the funds for the construction of the Da Nang shipyard were provided by Annam, so after the completion of the shipyard, in addition to building warships for the Annam military, it also took on the mission of training shipwrights for Annam. Every year, Annan selects a group of personnel to come here to learn shipbuilding technology while working.

Of course, Haihan's shipbuilding technology is not so simple to copy, many of the technical keys related to ship design and construction, for the lack of systematic knowledge of the Annam shipwright, it is only known, do not know why, can only learn to build ships step by step, but want to design and build Haihan-style warships from scratch, it is still difficult for the time being. In addition, the manufacturing of some key components on the ship, such as the manufacturing technology of the steering wheel transmission system, is a technical barrier that Haihan has been secret.

There are a total of 10 slipways at the Da Nang shipyard, four of which are large slipways that can be used to build 1,000-ton ships, but the military ships currently built here are only small and medium-sized warships for the Annam military. The visit of the senior leaders of the two sides to the Da Nang shipyard coincided with the completion and launch of the twelfth "Expedition-class" warship built by the Da Nang shipyard for the Annam military. Although some of the outfitting works were not fully completed, Zheng Zheng was very happy to attend the launching ceremony held by the shipyard for this purpose.

The captain, chief mate, and boatswain who will be responsible for commanding this ship in the future were selected six months ago and sent by the Annan Military Department to Sanya to receive relevant training and study. The navigational knowledge, the way of operating warships, and the tactics of naval warfare learned by these officers were all taught in accordance with the standards of the Haihan Navy. The purpose of this is not only to ensure that the Annam military can smoothly install and put into use after receiving the warships, but also to ensure that the Annam Navy can seamlessly connect with its ally Haihan in wartime and join the Haihan combat system to coordinate operations. Over the past few years, Haihan has successively trained dozens of officers for the Annan Navy, and more than eighty percent of the officers currently serving in the front line of the Annan Navy have received training in the Haihan Military Academy.

Although this was done in the name of military assistance, in practice the relevant personnel training costs were still paid for by the Annam Imperial Court. In order to build a surface army capable of guarding the long coastline of Annam, the silver invested by the Annam Imperial Court in recent years has reached a huge amount of one million taels. Of course, the effect of the huge investment is also quite obvious, and at present Annam already has two small fleets that use completely Haihan-style warships, stationed at the Tu Son military port in the Gulf of Tonkin and Hue in the south. As for the coastline south of Hue, due to the limited strength of the Annam Navy and the fact that Hai Han has four ports in this area, it is basically Hai Han, an ally, who is responsible for coastal defense security.

This division of labor was once quite controversial in the Annam court, and it is true that no country would hand over its borders to foreign troops to guard, even its own allies are really too awkward. However, those who oppose it cannot come up with an effective solution, because it is true that the Annam Navy does not have enough troops and ships to deploy to the far south to take over the garrison function of the Haihan Navy. After the Haihan Navy was stationed in the southern port, the local situation harassed by Western colonists was also greatly improved, which was an effect that the Annam Navy could not achieve.

Haihan does not have too much fear of the division of labor in maritime defense, and the gap in strength between the maritime forces of the two sides is too large, and it is not something that Haihan can change by helping them build a few fleets. Moreover, the Annam military has a very high dependence on the armaments provided by Haihan, and if it loses the support of Haihan, it will be difficult for the combat effectiveness of Annan's official army to last too long. To put it bluntly, how much combat strength the Annan Navy can have, its lifeblood is still in the hands of Haihan, and if Haihan does not support it, Annan will never want to station the navy in the south. However, this truth is only understood by the people concerned, and those civil officials who only mingle in the court do not know these tricks at all.

The "benefits" brought to Annan by this highly dependent form of military cooperation are not only to save troops and military spending, but also to some extent from the top and bottom of the Annan military, as long as the personnel involved in military cooperation are involved, to some extent, and even Zheng Zheng, who came here to inspect the area, is also a member of the list of vested interests.

Zheng Zheng was involved in the initial contact between Haihan and the official leadership of Annan, and almost all subsequent agreements and cooperation matters were also attended by Zheng Zheng. Since the timing of Haihan's intervention in Annam coincided with the civil war, the official relationship between the two sides was basically based on military cooperation, and the lucrative profits from arms procurement also provided a lot of convenience for Haihan to give "feedback" to handlers and decision-makers like Zheng Zheng.
