Chapter 124 King Dun takes office as an envoy (10)

Deng Shichang, Liu Buchan and several other quarreled with Japanese naval soldiers. They were determined and would not be moved by each other's words. From the naval system to the knowledge of Western teachers hired by China and Japan, to the formation of friendly fleets against the enemy in the formal battlefield, the two sides raised their squads, and finally stopped following Yi Qiong and others' queues. Several people walked alone to a house that was originally used for class, picked up chalks and drew bits on the blackboard, and simulated a formal naval battle.

In Dashanyan and others, they believe that any ship in the navy must not make any mistakes. Not only because the effort required to train the navy from a captain to an ordinary soldier is far more than that of the army, but also because the ships are all spent heavily on money, either purchased from abroad or produced domestically. If you give up easily, how can you be worthy of these many hard work?

"What I mean by waiting is definitely not to easily throw away the roommate ship, but in the irresistible situation, can't we consider giving up a small part and achieving a loftier goal of saving more lives and a warship worthy of preserving the lives of more people?"

"Since you are talking about the ability to protect more soldiers and more warships, and in order to be more enterprising, these or two warships that need to be abandoned will not suffer such a tragic fate?"

Fang Boqian's eyes rolled and he said with a smile, "This is not simple, because some of my Qing Dynasty have talents and some money, and we can afford to buy more warships. We can also afford to lose one or two ships."

Oyama Immediately said a word. This was a sting in the hearts of Japanese naval officers and soldiers. At the beginning of the 21st year of the sect of Xianfeng, the Meiji government abolished the Ministry of War and changed it to the Ministry of Navy, and the Army Province was separated. The first Navy Minister was Shenghaizhou. At this time, he had more than 30 warships and three transport ships, with a total tonnage of more than 13,000 tons. Shenghaizhou proposed a plan to build a standing fleet of 108 warships in 18 years, but at that time, the Piaotianyi. In the early Meiji period, the total annual budget of the Ministry of War was 9 million yen, of which the army was 8.5 million, leaving only 500,000 for the navy. The powerful navy was just a very pleasant slogan.

This also made the dream of the Japanese navy's intention to grow was built in the minds of Katsukaizhou, Saigo Congdao and others. This time, the invitation of the Chinese Beiyang Navy to visit Japan was not due to the divine power of the Chinese naval gunboat, which greatly stimulated the intention of the national bureaucrats from top to bottom.

Compared with the national strength of the Qing Dynasty at its peak, although Japan had implemented a new policy several years ago, the country was poor and the country was poor, and both its development prospects and potential were far inferior to China. Fang Boqian used such words to ridicule. Although he knew he was half-joking, it was difficult to find a word to refute him.

"Your country is indeed a national Japanese football team, but you can't let you spend it at will, right? The cost of a warship is always around 3 million taels of silver. Can you let the navy mess around like this? Isn't this a waste of family?" Don't jump.

Liu Buchan waved his hand and stopped Fang Boqian from quarreling with the other party, "Dashan Lord, as you said just now, I would like to give an example. Outside Tuoshan Port that day, the flagship Artarante, saw the disparity in the power of the enemy and us, gave up fighting and fled. If you follow your views, like him, you will undoubtedly escape in the face of battle. But in my opinion, you will leave this useful body, with the intention of the future - if you are like Tayce being a major, you will never retreat, and in the end, except to open the Tonghai Valve and let the Wolda sink to the bottom of the sea, what else do you think this behavior can be used to be able to leave the so-called famous warrior? Isn't the gunboat purchased by the French court also a waste?" I don't jump.

"Even if this is not the case, it will eventually fall into the hands of the Chinese. Can there be a difference? With the national combat power, it will be used to help the enemy. Is this a good deal? In my opinion, it is not as good as a sinking person."

"After this war, except for the Yi Shibi, which has lost its combat capability, our Qing Dynasty has returned all the captured gunboats to France. Can this be said to be a capital enemy?"

Yamamoto Honbuki wanted to say something else. The footsteps sounded outside the sect house. A Japanese young man in naval uniform leaned in and looked in. He immediately stood attentively and spoke a few words of Japanese. Oyama Iwa nodded and waved his hand to let him retreat, "Today's debate cannot be counted, but it cannot be continued for the time being." He said in English.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Hey, Prince and the Minister are ready to leave and go to the ship."

"Then, let's go out too."

As the journey from the Navy School to the warships docked at the port, Fang Boqian was always talking unyieldingly, "Zhengqing, Zixiang," he called the two people and said, "Aren't the Japanese making trouble? It's obviously a matter of unreasonableness, so he insisted on biting it and not giving up?"

"It's no wonder they. I heard from Dan Shuai that the Japanese can own ships far inferior to our Qing Dynasty. This was raised by the Japanese in order to consolidate the sea. It can be said that one less ship is one, so it is so precious and cannot be missed."

"I think that Dashanyan's words may not be the case," Lin Sensen said, "Yitang, think about it, if I were outside Tuoshan Port, there were Japanese people in the Qing navy like this, and I had no intention of tolerance for every warship, would the situation be much better?"

"Shaoping is what we said? Isn't the power we put in during the war? Or are we all willing to let go and see the damage of the friendly ship without caring about it? If the Guangheng Ship had not taken the initiative to ask Dan Shuai for rescue, I would have been sank the French a long time ago?"

"You quarrel with me?" Lin Sensen complained aggrievedly, "You and I belong to the same country."

Liu Buchan and Deng Shichang looked at each other and laughed, "I think you really don't know that with all the strength of the Japanese navy, you can't use Dingyuan and Liaoyuan. Just one Leijia-level ship is enough to send them to the bottom of the sea to feed the turtle and fight for these last quarters?"

Deng Shichang was a little dissatisfied with Liu Buchan's approach. The Qing navy's strength was indeed far above Japan, but in his heart, he even more agreed with Dashanyan and others, that is, the naval ships were a whole, and he could not give up his comrades in order to survive alone. A view like Fang Boqian would probably cause great trouble in the future.

In another carriage that was driving differently from them, Dashanyan and others were also talking about the same topic, "Do you want to? Dongxiangjun?"

"If there are such naval generals everywhere in China, no matter how many gunboats or advanced weapons, they will be insufficient. No matter how good the weapons are, they still need to be operated by people - our imperial country has command strategists like Katsuhiko, Saigoko, Komotoko, and Hiratako, as well as generals who are in person who are in battle formations, and the backwardness of ship equipment can only be made up with money." Hirahachiro Togo said, "and this gap is the easiest to solve."

"I agree with Dongxiangjun's words. As long as we give us twenty years, no, ten years, we can definitely use more advanced gunboats to make up for the differences between China and Japan's naval."

"Just hope that the Empire will not let go of a trick."

"Eh?" Togo Heihachiro and Yamamoto Honbuki were frowning at the same time, "Senior, are you saying such things?"

"No, this is just my worry," Dashanyan smiled and shook his head, but felt uneasy in his heart. This time when the Chinese visited, he always felt that the intention was not that simple, but it seemed that there was something else to do, but with his knowledge, he could not tell the fog that was shrouded in his heart.

The carriages and horses were rippling. As noon approached, the queue returned to the Kobe Port Wharf that he left yesterday. The gunboats of the Qing Dynasty Beiyang Navy, led by Dingyuan and Liaoyuan, were steadily docked at the dock. Unlike yesterday when he first arrived in Guidi, the dock was filled with Japanese people who were looking at the novel things. The red men and green women pointed at them, and even the navy who came down from the tourist and Hiei were standing among the crowd, looking up at the steel giant beast.

On the shore, there were Qing army sailors on duty, and they also felt the envy of the people from foreign countries. The sailors stood straight and their chests were high, and their pride and proud expressions were filled with youthful faces. On the side of the ship's side, a naughty young man leaned down, probably to see how high the water was, and people kept spitting down. Seeing a carriage approaching, they guessed that the prince led the Japanese personnel to board the boat and visited, so they hurriedly shrank.

Ding Richang was both angry and funny, standing on the shore, looking around, "Liu Buchan?"

"The humble job is here"

"After getting on the boat, I will write down all the names of the sailors who were playing tricks on the bow of the boat today and deal with them all with military law."

"Military Sect, they were also curious for a moment. There is no need for military law to deal with it, right?"

"No, before visiting Japan this time, the emperor had a sage to show the prestige of my Beiyang Navy. If you do this... wait for the action to spread, don't you laugh at me, Daqingshui Master, don't you understand the rules?" Ding Richang shouted loudly, "This matter is settled."

"Yes." Liu Buchan nodded, "After this incident, Bei Zhi will immediately deal with the offenders, please rest assured."

Ding Richang didn't say much. Seeing that Yi Qiong and Sanjo Shimi and others were riding in a carriage not far away, he ordered, "Line in line to welcome."
