"Liche, after talking to you for a long time, the old decay has really gained a lot. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info You must have great ambitions when you return from studying abroad, I don't know if you want to learn from literature or martial arts? Old man Liu was interested in soliciting

After all, such a well-versed person in Tessie's information is really rare, and if he can collect it, he will definitely be able to help himself.

"The younger generation heard that the senior is in charge of the Nanyang Naval Division, if the naval division can also recruit some personnel, the younger generation is not talented, and is willing to put pen to paper!"

"Oh? Liche is young, and he has such a strong ambition, which is impressive, but the Nanyang sailors under the old command are not as elite as the Beiyang! ”

"The seniors don't need to worry, the younger generations know that the construction of the sailor costs a lot, so when they were in Taixi, they also saved some savings, which can be used for the construction of the Nanyang sailor!"

"The ambition of serving the country through the car, the old man is deeply gratified, but he just ...... "The 18,000 taels of silver really don't solve any problems."

"Two million taels! I don't know if it's possible? ”

"Shhh...... Categorically no less! ”

"My teacher in the West also made a promise before leaving, if he can get ahead in his juniors, he can give his juniors four large warships!"

“…… Calendar! Is this true? Military affairs should not be regarded as child's play! "Old man Liu's Nanyang sailors are all small broken ships

"Seriously! The younger generation can use the life guarantee, within one year, my Nanyang sailor will be able to surpass the Beiyang in an all-round way! ”

“…… The old man still asked, why didn't Liche go to Li Zhongtang's powerful Beiyang, but come to my weak Nanyang? ”

"Although the younger generation is only shallow and has little experience, they are not used to seeing the corpse vegetarian meal and the Min Fu who control the Beiyang Fleet!"

“…… Oh, that being the case, the old decay will play the imperial court, and promote you as the general of the Nanyang Naval Division, which is the third grade, and the car still needs to enter the Beijing face saint before it can be decided! ”

Even if it was Zhao Kuo, who was talking on paper, Old Man Liu also recognized it.

The wreckage below is less than one-tenth of this offspring!

Although there are also second-rank commanders and first-rank commanders above, they are also very large military attachés, equivalent to rear admirals.

The general standard of the general is 243 taels of annual salary, 48 taels of vegetable candle charcoal silver, 38 taels of red paper silver, and 500 taels of incorruptible silver!

However, the level of various places is uneven, and the treatment of the navy is much higher, for example, the annual income of the Beiyang Navy Division is 2640 taels!

Seeing the powerful returnees, Old Man Liu returned to his old age and talked with the young man of the second cargo all night to solve many doubts in his heart.

Old man Liu called Liu Fu, a man in his thirties, and asked him to accompany the descendants into Beijing, and there was a good response on the way.

Taking the land route from Jiangning to Beijing, that is the brain was kicked by a donkey, the real shortcut is to take the sea route, the time is short, and it is not tired.

Mi Ji and Liu Fu agreed on a good time, and the two young men set off on their own, and he took the two family members together to meet in Tianjin.

The excuse, of course, is to get some special gifts, so as not to be exposed by your potential competitors.

"This ......" saw the chaotic capital, and the quasi-third-grade officer looked dazed, as if he only knew the Qianmen area.

Well, the Forbidden City still looks familiar, and when Old Man Liu's fold is handed over, the owner of it should be hand-picked.

When it comes to the day of the face saint, the chicken can't help but be a little apprehensive, starting with the little zombie, rising step by step, and finally looking at the largest one!

"I ......" arrived outside the main hall, and the chicken was wearing a horse coat and did not step on the threshold, and directly stuck a dog gnawing on the Xiang, which made the guards want to laugh.

Fortunately, the chicken knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted: "King Caomin laughs, knock to see Lafayette, knock to see my emperor, I wish Lafayette eternal happiness, longevity and heaven!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The old lady in a high position, oh no, it was Lafayette, when she heard the eight blessing words, she suddenly felt refreshed, and her face showed a pleasant face, and she said to Xiao Lizi: "Let him get up, this monkey cub is pleasing to speak!" ”

The latter's "good voice of the Qing Dynasty" immediately resounded through the hall, and the aftermath lingered, and the soul of the three-grade master under the earthquake was not possessed!

When Emperor Guangxu saw that his father had finished speaking, he paused his throat before he raised his mouth lightly: "I listened to Liu Aiqing's performance, are you returning from a study tour in Taixi?" ”

The chicken got up, bowed his head and replied: "Qi Qi Sheng, Cao Min traveled to the United States, and also involved in the affairs of England, France, Germany, and even Japan!" ”

"Oh? Liu Aiqing said in the excerpt, you are familiar with the Taixi civilization and the affairs of the navy, but is there such a thing? "Emperor Guangxu has the heart to move to the old man Li on Houfu's side, but there is no one in his hands.

"Qiqi Sheng, Lord Liu really praised Cao Min, Cao Min really can't afford it, Cao Min only understands international politics and military affairs a little!" After the chicken finished speaking, he also scanned both sides with his afterglow to see if he could see the legendary old man Li!

It's just that there are too many old men on both sides, and it's really hard to find, according to the grade, Old Man Li should stand in front, and it is estimated that he can only look at his back.

"Then tell me about my Beiyang Sailors, what is my position in the world? Even if there are inappropriate words, I will forgive you for your innocence! ”

This is a pit dug by others, if the Beiyang Naval Division is raised, this person must be a descendant, and he may also have a relationship with Old Man Li.

Is it the other way around...... Looking at the height of his eyebrows, if he understands this matter of the court, he can use it for himself.

This is what you let me say, listen up: "Qiqi Sheng, according to Caomin, the Beiyang Naval Division has already sunset, if you don't purchase new ships, I'm afraid that even the Japanese Navy will be difficult to match!" ”

"Presumptuous! Above the main hall, young and young, with young qualifications, An dares to speak wildly! I don't know if this is a crime of deception? An old man stood up and criticized the young man for the second goods.

"Dare to ask your Excellency ......"

"Hubu Shangshu, Weng Tongxiao!"

"It turned out to be Lord Weng, long admiration, long admiration!"

Emperor? The deity is waiting for you!

"I don't know what Lord Weng meant when he said that the younger generation was talking wildly? And where is the sin? ”

"Our Qing Beiyang Naval Division holds the town and the ironclad ships, invincible, and has a number of fast cruisers, which are unparalleled in the East, and can be described as the sky! Where did you come from? ”

"I see, can Lord Weng know the current state of the development of the Japanese Navy?"

"Hmph~! A small island in the East, there is nothing to be afraid of! ”

"Then Cao Min will talk about the navy of this small island in the East! Please allow Cao Min to carry the model of the ship to the main hall for the reference of Lafayette and the emperor! ”

The two big bosses above both like to watch the excitement, especially the excitement of the other party, so how can they refuse?

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is my Qing Beiyang Naval Division, and opposite is the main force of the Japanese Navy, the Combined Fleet!"

"Well, these models are very exquisitely made and lifelike, which really opens the old man's eyes!"

"Dare to ask ...... this adult is"

"Minister of Beiyang - Li Hongzhang!"

"Fortunately, fortunately. Look, here are the twelve main battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division, and over there are the ships of the Japanese Navy!

The total tonnage of the Beiyang Naval Division is 32,000 tons, and the total tonnage of the Japanese Navy is 40,000 tons!

In addition to the two giant ships of more than 7,000 tons, 'Dingyuan' and 'Zhenyuan', the remaining 10 ships of our Beiyang Naval Division have a displacement of less than 3,000 tons!

In addition to the three battleships "Akagi", "Chiyoda", and "Hiei", the remaining nine warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet have a displacement of more than 3,000 tons!

Our large-caliber artillery is 58, and the Japanese are 104!

The amount of bombs dropped per minute is 22 rounds for our side and more than 200 rounds for Japan!

The speed of the Beiyang Naval Division formation is 10 knots, and the Japanese side is 14.5 knots!

If the two sides go to war, the firepower projection of the Japanese fleet will be two to three times that of our Beiyang Naval Division!

Therefore, Cao Min said that the Beiyang Naval Division has sunset, not only is it not too much, but it just reflects the actual situation! ”

Master Weng was a little blind, and he held back for a long time before he came up with a sentence: "So what?" My Beiyang Navy Division has two ships, Ding, Zhen, and can be invincible! ”

"Dare to ask Lord Weng, the soldiers under the general's command are gone, do you have to let the general personally go into battle to kill the enemy?

If the auxiliary ships of the Beiyang Naval Division are annihilated by the Japanese, there will be only two ships of Ding and Zhen to guard the 10,000-mile sea frontier of our Qing Dynasty?

As far as we know, Japan's budget balance for this year is 2 million, and its navy intends to go to Britain to negotiate the purchase of two 10,000-ton ironclad ships! When these two ships are put into service, it will be the day of the destruction of our Beiyang Naval Division! ”

Miji put the two "Fuji" class battleships on the table, this cargo is obviously bigger than the calm, clean up the other party properly!

"Since you said that it was only intentional, it is something that has not yet been formed, and this is nothing, I'm afraid it's hearsay, right?" Master Weng finally caught the other party's flaws

As for the previous balance of forces, he did not agree with anything, as long as he grasped the two ships of Dingcheng and Zhen.

"Lord Weng, do you know what the Three Scenery Ship is?"

“…………”

"Lord Weng, do you know how big the caliber of the French Griffa cannon is?"

“…………”

"Do you know how far a nautical mile is?"

“…………”

"Since Lord Weng doesn't know anything about the professional knowledge of the navy, why does he arrogantly criticize what Cao Min said?

Could it be that Lord Weng has investigated and studied the Japanese Navy? Or is Lord Weng involved in the development of the Navy today?

If not, what basis does Lord Weng have for criticizing Cao Min's opinion?

Isn't it ridiculous and generous for a layman to sit in a well and watch the sky to criticize an insider?

If foreign envoys were present, such anecdotes would have been spread overseas! ”

The three-plate axe directly extinguished the fierce Master Weng, and for a while the pestle was in place, unable to advance or retreat.

Zhirui, who is also Qingliu, stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Lord Weng is the Minister of Military Aircraft, don't be rude!" In order to build the Beiyang Naval Division, I spent more than 10 million taels in the Qing Dynasty. If it is so vulnerable, won't it be a waste of the imperial court's appropriations? ”

This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which can not only help Master Weng, but also transfer the firepower to Old Man Li.

"Are you ......?"

"The right waiter of the Ministry of Rites - Zhirui!"

"My lord, dare you ask if you have breakfast?"

“…… Eaten! ”

"Are you going to have lunch, then?"

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Cao Min dares to ask when was the last time the Beiyang Navy Division purchased a thousand-ton cruiser?"

"This ............"

"Does Lord Zhirui think that as long as he has eaten breakfast, he doesn't need to eat lunch, or even dinner? If you are interested, you can see if you need lunch and dinner! ”

"You ......"

"Building a navy cannot be achieved overnight, it is a long-term strategy, and it must be invested heavily every year to achieve results!

If our Beiyang Naval Division could purchase an ironclad cruiser every year, how could it be surpassed by the Japanese Navy today?

Restricting the purchase of new warships by the Beiyang Navy Division is equivalent to cutting off the lunch and dinner of the Beiyang Navy Division. ”

Old man Li listened very comfortably, this kid is simply his confidant, and he also took advantage of the situation to extinguish the prestige of the old man, very wonderful!

"In your opinion, is it because someone in the court deliberately restricts and hinders the Beiyang Naval Division?" Zhirui jumped into the pit automatically

Mi Ji ignored the goods, turned his head and asked: "Dare to ask Master Li, when was the last time the Beiyang Navy Division purchased a cruiser?" ”

"About seven years ago, we purchased two ships from Germany, Jingyuan and Laiyuan!" Old man Li is waiting to see a good show

"In that case, dare to ask Master Li, why didn't my Beiyang Naval Division continue to purchase new ships to replace the old ones during this time?"

"It's all because the household department refuses to allocate funds!"

"Dare to ask Lord Zhirui, why doesn't the household department allocate funds?"

“…… That's not where it comes in! ”

Well, this product can be understood, and immediately flashed people and re-revealed Master Weng!

"Lord Weng, you are Tobe Shoshu, the latest British cruiser 'Yoshino' in service in the Japanese Navy cost 300,000 pounds, which is equivalent to less than two million taels of silver!

Can't even get this money? Didn't you say that Japan is a small island in the East? Why can people take it out, but I can't take it out? ”

"You're just a grass seed, how do you know the difficulties of the household? Flags, river embankments, official salaries, and the food and salaries of the navy and army, which ones do not need silver taels? "Master Weng has finally found his main battlefield

How can this be? The chicken can choke you to death: "Japan also has samurai pacification expenses, which is equivalent to the cost of flag affairs in my Qing Dynasty, as well as river embankments, official salaries, etc., as well as food and salaries for the navy and land armies, doesn't Lord Weng even know this?"

This year is Lafayette's birthday, if the Japanese Navy defeats our Beiyang Naval Division, the Japanese Army more than 200,000 people land from Dagukou, and the west invades the Beijing Division, can Lord Weng bear the responsibility for such a crime of bullying the king?

Oh, by the way, maybe the Japanese will award a medal to Lord Weng, specifically in recognition of your great achievements in restricting the development of the Beiyang Naval Division, which is unsurpassed, and I really envy others!

As the Minister of Military Aircraft, Lord Weng knows nothing about the changes in international politics, military development, and equipment changes!

The corpse is a vegetarian meal, delaying armaments, deceiving the saints, and the one who harms my Qing Dynasty is you!

What is ridiculous is that such ignorant people are still above the court, relying on the old and selling the old, and telling right and wrong, which is really the culprit of disaster to the country and the people! ”

"You ......"

To quote a proverb from the land of Tessie, that is: if you are backward, you will be beaten! Since Lord Weng doesn't think it's important to allocate funds to the navy, then please take your household department to defend my Daqing Sea Frontier! ”

As soon as they heard that Dagukou had landed, everyone in the hall remembered what happened back then!

The two robbers sang as they walked: I dripping enthusiasm, like a fire, burning the whole garden......
