Many people also visited various ships one after another. Since most of the fleet is British crew, the people did not have much recognition when visiting, and the fleet was officially delivered to the Qinhuangdao Naval Base. Now, it was only the British who changed their voyage to show it to the Chinese that they arrived at Yingkou first.

After the Yingkou Naval Parade, the North Sea Fleet of the National Defense Forces Coast Guard finally set off for the Qinhuangdao Naval Base. The Navy Chief Sa Zhenbing and the Northeast Naval Academy Principal Liu Guanxiong also followed suit. In addition to the 100 Rolls-Royce 90-horsepower gasoline engines moved from the North Sea Fleet, there were two British engineers and a large amount of English engine information given by Rolls-Royce. Wang Maoru immediately sent these two talents to the Northeast Fourth Arsenal, Shuangcheng County, Binjiang Prefecture, Jilin Province. At the same time, in order to retain these two engineers, Wang Maoru not only equipped them with beautiful Russian girls, but also fired them from Hi-Tech, and established the National Defense Forces Military Technology University, hired these two as professors at Northeast Military Technology University, recruited science talents from various universities, and learned the joint industrial technology of mechanical manufacturing and mechanical processing.

The two British engineers did not expect to be valued like this. Although they are both Christians, Christianity does not restrict their lovers. They enjoy money, beauty, power, and status here, and they are extremely glorious.

Journalists from all over the world successively published huge photos of the North Sea Fleet in newspapers in various places, which also triggered a fanatical naval pursuit among Chinese people from all over the world. The naval power of a country best reflects the country's self-esteem. Although most of the naval warships in the Republic of China were second-rate or third-rate warships, which were not comparable to Japan. They could not compare with Britain, the United States and France, but the huge ships and the second-largest tonnage in Asia greatly strengthened the self-confidence of the people. However, behind the improvement of the national self-confidence, it was Wang Maoru's government who was in charge of the annual naval military expenditure of 13 million yuan.

After the British accepted the final payment, they left about 200 naval instructors and evacuated, and the North Sea Fleet had only 1,000 sailors and 2,000 marines, and the captains and others were short of them. However, Shen Honglie and Liu Guanxiong were trying to win over them everywhere, and with the help of Sa Zhenbing, the Second Navy Fleet began to come from Nanjing and prepare to return to Qinhuangdao. In this way, all the Chinese Navy fleets would be concentrated under the Northeast Navy.

The names of each warship are still retained and have not been changed. Some people suggest that the Old Man's Asterisk battleship be changed to Dingyuan and the Avenger battleship be changed to Zhenyuan. Shen Honglie reported to Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru did not expect to refuse: "This move will definitely trigger a diplomatic conflict between China and Japan. It is better not to show off everywhere. The Chinese navy is weak and cannot withstand the toss and troubles." Of course, changing to Dingyuan and Zhenyuan also has a meaning that Wang Maoru feels unlucky. He does not want the naval soldiers to have the gloom of the Sino-Japanese Navy when the naval battle occurs in the future, and these two warships are just to train more practice ships prepared by the naval war.

In order to win over the navy, which is now not valued by the government, Wang Maoru sent Zhang Kui'an to Beijing to start lobbying various officials, especially the Navy Command.

When Zhang Kui'an came to Beijing to lobby, he saw that the city of Beijing was in chaos, and soldiers were robbed on the street and confronted the military and police. He was surprised and asked what happened to the people of the Gyeonggi garrison troops. He learned that it was Zhang Zongchang's troops who were under the 6th Mixed Brigade, which was affiliated with the Anhui clique, which caused military chaos. Zhang Zongchang ran to the concession alone and left the troops aside. The Gyeonggi garrison troops were ordered not to participate in the conflict between Zhi and Anhui. They could only watch from the wall.

However, the Beijing police department would rather risk fighting with the Sixth Mixed Brigade to maintain order. Zhang Kui'an inquired. The director of the Beijing Police Department was Wu Bingxiang, an old man from the Anhui clan. He was very tough in the backstage and had 20,000 policemen under his command, so he was not afraid of Zhang Zongchang's rebellious soldiers. The people of Beijing have never liked the police and believed that they would only bully the common people. This time they had a better impression of the police. But it was obvious that the soldiers of the Sixth Mixed Brigade were in chaos until President Xu Shichang, which oppressed Xu Shichang, hoping that he could ban the military power of Wu Peifu and Cao Kun.

Zhang Kui'an was moved by the chaos in Beijing. When he compared the Northeast, he really felt that life outside the pass was better.

Fortunately, the military chaos in the Sixth Mixed Brigade did not last long, and the 19th Mixed Brigade stationed nearby controlled the situation.

The 19th Mixed Brigade was adapted from the Third Mixed Brigade, one of the 5th Brigades of the Third Division, which was trained by Xu Shuzheng. The combat effectiveness was much stronger than the Sixth Mixed Brigade. The commander of the 19th Brigade Chu Qixiang led his army to pacify the chaos of the Sixth Mixed Brigade and killed some people, which aroused Zhang Zongchang's dissatisfaction.

Zhang Zongchang originally thought of complaining in front of Xu Shuzheng, but unfortunately Xu Shuzheng had no intention of putting him on him and letting his troops play against the direct vanguard troops. The more Zhang Zongchang thought about it, the less uncomfortable he felt. He had a good relationship. He just asked me to act for Xu Shichang to see you, and now you are the one who sent me as cannon fodder to the front line. With me and you for a long time, there was no benefit at all.

Zhang Zongchang felt uncomfortable and wondered if he could change his boss. When he learned that Zhang Kui'an, the representative of the National Defense Force Commander Wang Maoru, came to Beijing and was visiting the home of Navy Chief Sa Zhenbing, so he ran to Sa Zhenbing Mansion with two kilograms of watermelon to see Zhang Kui'an.

Zhang Zongchang is a brave warrior. He doesn't read much, but he has the courage to fight and is outspoken. He said directly at Sa Zhenbing's house: "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask Xiushuai to give me a bite of food and our Sixth Mixed Brigade."

Zhang Kui'an was very embarrassed at Sa Zhenbing's home, so he couldn't agree to this randomly. Now Beijing is still in power. If he agrees, wouldn't this beating the Anhui faction in the face? Moreover, the power of the National Defense Forces will be increased to support the Anhui faction. It is not advisable to offend the Anhui faction at this time. So Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "General Zhang is serious, and they are all national troops. If General Zhang is willing, he can go to Changchun to seek refuge with Xiushuai."

Zhang Zongchang waved his hand carelessly and said, "Hey... how can this work? There is no one who doesn't bring a meeting gift? My mixed brigade is just a meeting gift. Besides, the National Defense Forces are still regular soldiers. My brothers under him are also willing to be the National Defense Forces, as long as they can guarantee military pay."

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "This can guarantee that the National Defense Forces never owed wages, so General Zhang doesn't need to worry about this."

Zhang Zongchang immediately shouted, "That, then let's make up, let's see, I think you have any secrets to President Sa. I won't bother you, I'll leave." He hugged his fists and said to Sa Zhenbing, "General Sa, I wish you a long life and good fortune."

Sa Zhenbing smiled bitterly and said goodbye. Seeing that Zhang Zongchang had gone far away, he said to Zhang Kui'an: "This guy is really reckless." Zhang Kui'an also smiled bitterly and shook his head. Sa Zhenbing said again: "Su Shuai has gained power in the future, and more and more people will submit to him, including mixed things, some sincere help, some false intentions, and some want to use it. Then you have to think twice before you act. The sixth mixed army chaos is still the trouble caused by this dog meat general. I don't believe he is forced, so he must be secretly in charge."

When it comes to Zhang Zongchang's character, both of them were disdainful. This man was also a slave of the three surnames. He was more promising, but he was not good at fighting. Anyone who handed over the army to him could break up. But everyone trusted such a heartless person. He was very treacherous and loyal. He was talking about such a person. In the future, there would be a person who was even more treacherous and loyal than Zhang Zongchang, Feng Yuxiang.

Zhang Kui'an said: "I believe Xiushuai has a way to cure such a person. Minggong, do you analyze when will the Battle of Zhi and Anhui begin?"

Sa Zhenbing smiled and said, "What? I want to propose a plan to expand the National Defense Forces during the Battle of Zhi and Anhui?"

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "It can't be hidden from Gong Ming."

Sa Zhenbing sighed: "When will the Battle of Zhi and Anhui begin? It is actually depends on Hu Shuai Zhang Zuolin. But I expect that if the fight starts, the Anhui faction may not necessarily gain a advantage. It can be seen from Zhang Zongchang's wages that the Anhui faction is under great financial pressure. Now, a bank note worth ten yuan outside can only be exchanged for a piece of ocean."

Zhang Kui'an shook his head and said, "No wonder I have recently heard that the salary of a professor at Peking University has increased to 300 silver dollars, but it turned out to be a banknote in the Bank of Communications."

Sa Zhenbing said: "The Anhui faction has already complained. Let's see, the fall of the Anhui faction is not far away."

Zhang Kui'an contacted all over Beijing and saw President Xu Shichang through Vice President Meng Enyuan. Xu Shichang is now in panic all day long. When he learned that Wang Maoru's envoy was sent to him immediately. When Zhang Kui'an proposed that the National Defense Forces were under the jurisdiction of the three armies, namely the three armies of the army, navy and air force, Xu Shichang did not express his opposition, but instead took Wang Maoru's support for him to be president. Zhang Kui'an knew that Wang Maoru didn't care who was president, and some people liked this presidential addiction, and even a puppet liked to sit in this position, there was no doubt that Xu Shichang was such a person. He immediately announced on behalf of the National Defense Forces that firmly supported Xu Shichang as president, and Xu Shichang also expressed his willingness to support Wang Maoru's three armies reform plan.
