Because he was worried that the news leaked caused a mutiny of the new recruits and fled on a large scale. Yinzhen only stayed in Weihaiwei for a long time. After inspecting the port, he boarded the ship and headed south with most of the troops the next day.

The Weihaiwei port is basically not developed at present. Yinzhen came to Weihaiwei specifically to inspect the port. As a sub-base of the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty, Weihaiwei has the advantage of being the only one. He is very clear about this. The opposite Lushun and Sanshan Haikou Dalian are also natural and unfreezing ports. However, he has no energy to develop at all, so he can only let it go first.

Here, Weihaiwei was purely worried that dozens of Spanish prisoners of war, Tianjin mutiny, and hundreds of naval soldiers died at close range with Spanish musketeers. He was really worried that those veterans who served as teachers at Tianjin Naval Academy were expeditioning to Europe and were still counting on these Spanish people to lead the way, which inspired conflicts and was not good for both sides.

As we headed south, the new students learned to actually operate the warship under the guidance of Spanish instructors. Yinzhen, Yinxiang and Wuge looked at the deck for a while before returning to the cabin, waved to signal the few to sit down. Yinzhen said to Wuge: "The Beiyang Fleet began its expedition to America this year. This is a year. You cannot be limited to the training of the students. You must be familiar with the routes of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. The routes to Ryukyu, North Korea, and Japan must be surveyed and mapped in detail."

Wu Ge was stunned when he heard this. He was too busy to train new students all day long. How could he have the time and energy to do these things? These things require time and energy, and also require a lot of manpower and material resources.

Yinxiang smiled and said, "What's the matter? The 14th brother means to conquer Japan and North Korea, and Ryukyu must also set up prefectures and counties. If you free up your hands, you will go to the expedition to prepare you."

Wu Ge knew about the conquest of Japan. He did not expect that even the fourteenth master of the two vassal states of North Korea and Ryukyu were not spared. He hesitated a little and then replied loudly: "Yes, I'll give you a decree."

Seeing this situation, Yinzhen knew that he had doubts and said, "The harm of the Japanese pirates is no longer necessary. It must be completely destroyed so that they can be achieved once and for all. Without Japan, North Korea will have no value. It is also a vassal state. We don't want those false reputations and swallow them directly, so we can save trouble. We don't care about the false reputations of all countries. In the name of them, they pay tribute, but in fact, we lose a lot."

After hesitating for a while, Wu Ge hesitated and said: "Director, there are many vassal states in the Qing Dynasty. Will this cause panic?"

"Panish? Are they not panic now?" Yinzhen said disdainfully: "These vassal states are fence-bearers. When we are strong, they will pay tribute and tribute. When he becomes strong, they will bite us in turn." Thinking of North Korea's unfulfilled bottomless pit and Vietnam turned against others, he was furious and said hatefully: "If you have the conditions, you will destroy them and leave no trouble for future generations."

As he said that, he turned to Yinxiang and said, "In the next few years, the navy will use Guangzhou and Karopa as its base to fight against Annan, Cham, Laos, Siam, Nanzhang, Myanmar and other countries along the southeast coast. After the Thirteenth Brother and Shi Shipiao hand over, the routes of the vassal states will be improved, and the channels for intelligence spy and information transmission will be built as soon as possible.

In addition, the flying pigeon transmission system of various naval teams, Nanyang and Australia should be improved as soon as possible. Annan, Siam, and Myanmar are no less than Jiangnan. The Qing Dynasty did not mind having one more Jiangnan out."

Not only Wu Ge, but even Yinxiang didn't react for a long time. His appetite was too big. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Does Emperor Ama agree?"

"Haha, we have consolidated Nanyang. These vassal states are the meat at their mouths, and the fat oil is so fat. How can the Emperor Ama not bear to eat it?" Yinzhen chuckled and said, "As soon as the navy conquered Nanyang, the Emperor Ama was moved. However, it is necessary to consider how these vassal states fight. If they do not completely consolidate the northwest, it is not advisable to make a big move here."

"It is true that the northwest must be consolidated first before we can let go of it." Yinxiang nodded, and then sighed softly: "After capturing Nanyang, the Qing Dynasty seemed to break through a bottleneck, and the whole world was present in front of us. Our existing troops are far from being able to cope with the subsequent battles. Have you ever considered this issue?"

Yinzhen said slowly: "It is inevitable to expand the army. Guangzhou Ma will establish a naval base and a naval branch, and it will also be built according to the standard of 10,000 people. In this way, three or four years later, 30,000 high-quality naval officers and soldiers can be trained every year. At that time, are you still worried about insufficient troops?"

Yinxiang nodded and said, "The soldiers are in the world but not in the world. Although they are a little slower, the ones trained in this way must be elite soldiers...

"Elite soldiers are made, not trained." Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, we are not short of battlefields now, and we are not worried about not having any training areas.

"This is said thoroughly. The elite soldiers are indeed attacked, and the reputation of our Eight Banners soldiers is also achieved by shooting at the battlefield." Yinxiang said with deep emotion: "However, with so many Han soldiers, aren't the 14th brother worried that it will be difficult to control in the future?"

Yinzhen looked up at Yinxiang and Wu Ge, and then said in a deep voice: "Thirteenth brother, the reason why the sea can accommodate all rivers is good at the subordinates! Without the heart to tolerate the world, he will not be able to sit firmly in this country. Han people, Mongolians, Tibetans, and Huiren are all people of the Qing Dynasty. If we are always wary of this and that to rebel, then we should not do anything. We are staring at the Han people, Mongolians, Tibetans, and Huiren all day long."

Yinxiang was stunned by the truth? Wu Ge said in surprise: "Director, can you not rebel if you don't beware of your guard?"

"Why do we rebel?" Yinzhen said in a temptation: "Everything that the people do, including rebellion, is for survival and to survive! The people can eat and wear well, get married, and reproduce offspring. Who is full and full, and what does it have to rebel? Who is the emperor and what does it have to do with him?

After ten years of hard work, people can become officials through normal channels, and merchants will not be subject to excessive taxes and exploit them layer by layer. They can solve their food and clothing through their own business and make a fortune. The gentry can ensure that their interests are not infringed. Who is willing to rebel? Rebellion requires a reason! It is also necessary to destroy the nine clans!"

Yinxiang smiled and said, "I'm not worried that if there is a natural disaster or a person with ulterior motives, I will never die of my heart."

"The natural disasters, the court has relief. The four great eternals have now begun to lend money at low interest rates. People live in hope. If there is a glimmer of hope, who is willing to stand up and take risks?" Yinzhen said jokingly: "The Qing Dynasty has been in charge of the Central Plains for more than 70 years to restore the Ming Dynasty? It is just an excuse for some ambitious people. Ambitious people have never been short of all dynasties, but they have to take advantage of the situation. The peaceful people in the world live and work in peace and seek rebellion. That is called not knowing the current affairs and taking the dead end."

Wu Ge was also quite worried about the Manchu and Han ratio in the navy. He was afraid that the situation would be large over time and he would not lose his tail. He followed the conversation: "Dean, with the development of the navy, the Manchu and Han ratio in the navy will become increasingly different. The Thirteenth Master should be worried about the navy's mutiny."

Well, this issue is not only concerned by Lao Shisan, Wu Ge and others, but Kangxi is afraid that he also has this concern. After all, the wider the ratio, the more difficult it is to control. But now it is a situation where it is difficult to get rid of the tiger. The navy has no choice but to develop, but for Yinzhen, this situation is hard-won.

After nodding slightly, Yinzhen said: "There are fewer Manchus. Once the navy develops, this proportion will naturally become increasingly disparity, but it must not be treated privilegedly to the Manchu soldiers and officers because of this.

The most taboo thing in the army is that rewards and punishments are unknown and treatment is unfair. When I first established the navy, I expected the navy to develop vigorously.

Therefore, since the first class of students, I have vigorously promoted equality in Manchu and Han, which is not only to improve combat effectiveness, improve the cooperation and cooperation between officers and soldiers, but also to thoroughly implement the idea of ​​equality in the navy, so as to promote a fair promotion system and a strict subordinate system in the navy.

Once everyone is equal before the military achievements can be fully implemented, then all officers and soldiers will inevitably consciously maintain this system. This is just like the officialdom. All officials will abide by the rules of the officialdom, otherwise you will not be able to survive.

I once told you that the navy's salary will be the highest. This time, the official salary of the navy will be issued when it goes to Europe and America. The basic standards have not been finalized, but it is certain that it will be at least twice as high as the Eight Banners soldiers.

With high salaries and fair promotion channels, there is no shortage of opportunities to achieve military achievements. Not only can you shine your family, but you can also win the wife and children. In such an army, can there be a large-scale mutiny?"

Yinxiang and Wuge were completely stunned. The navy's salary was so outrageous? Who can raise it? How much money does a 30,000 navy cost a year? Three million? What about a 100,000 navy? Ten million! In this case, a mutiny is impossible. Even if the navy follows Yinzhen to rebel, no one will frown.

"Will it be too high?" Yinxiang asked with some concern: "The navy's salary is so high, how can the Eight Banners Green Camp have no objection? The Emperor Ama will definitely intervene."

"What do you think about the Eight Banners Green Camp? If you have any opinions, please let them come to the Navy." Yinzhen said disrespectfully: "The Navy is fighting for life. Don't look at the easy battle in Nanyang in Penghu, it is in the near sea. Once you cross the sea and expedition, it will not be the case at all. If you have any opinions, you can change your name and call it a subsidy for sea. If you don't go to sea, you will still be paid."

This is working. There are additional subsidies for the Eight Banners soldiers to fight. Yinxiang nodded slightly, but he was puzzled. Is the navy so dangerous? Is it worth such a high salary?

Compared to Weihaiwei, the sea is much more informative. Fu Han, who is responsible for the training of new cadets at the Naval Academy, learned about the expedition to Europe and America as early as the New Year. He couldn't believe it at first. Before leaving, the Fourteenth Master was still saying that there was a sea battle in Nanyang, why did it turn into an expedition to Europe in a blink of an eye? Is the situation changed? But how did the Fourteenth Master get the news in Beijing?

It was not until Zheng Qinghai, the head of the Finance Director of Liuchunyuan, confirmed the news that Fu Han was sure that he was sure. Like Wu Ge, he was worried that there would be a commotion after the new students learned the news. He was also tight-lipped and arranged the ship to sea and actual combat training more intensively.

Zheng Qinghai, the head of the finance department, did not doubt the authenticity of the news. Without Yinzhen's instructions, he immediately began to purchase logistics materials. At the same time, he allowed firearms, castings, gunpowder and other factories to rush to increase reserves.

The three major shipyards in the sea were also abnormal and began to work overtime to build warships and merchant ships. Zhang Yuanlong felt even more keenly that the Fourteenth Master was about to start trade between the West and the Americas. Now, he was worried. He never expected that this day would come so quickly, and it was carried out at the same time on two continents. The number of three-masted sailboats on hand could not gather two fleets. He could follow the warships. What should he do when he came back?

Just as Zhang Yuanlong was frowning, his good daughter Zhang Mengjiao, who was Liuchunyuan, brought another message, and immediately contacted all the owners of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong who had ships sailing in the South China Sea, and gathered together after the Yuan Festival.

After receiving this message, Zhang Yuanlong's brows frowned even deeper. This is the season for going to sea. These ship owners are very busy and are willing to come? However, he dare not neglect what his daughter told me. No matter whether anyone came or not, he still had to notify him. Because he was worried that the sea merchants would not sell the accounts, he simply showed off the sign of the Fourteenth Master.

Now in the Qing Dynasty, whoever dares not give face to the 14th Prince Yinzhen if it is not a post by Yinzhen himself, who does not know the relationship between Zhang Yuanlong and Yinzhen? After receiving the post, no one dares to neglect and rushed to the sea to celebrate the Yuan Festival.

But Zhang Yuanlong was in trouble. He was busy meeting guests all day long, but he didn't know what Zhang Mengjiao gathered all the sea merchants to the sea to ask her but she didn't ask any questions. She was depressed and thoughtful.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, the fourth prince Yin led a huge group of ambassadors to Europe to arrive in the sea. Fahai, the new governor of Guangdong who rushed to Guangzhou to take office.

On the 26th day of the first lunar month, Shi Shipiao, the chief general of the navy who was expeditioning Europe, also led a group of generals to the sea.

This time, everyone knew that the fourteenth prince Yinzhen would arrive in the sea soon. At the same time, the news of the Qing Dynasty's expedition to Europe and America began to spread slowly. Zhang Yuanlong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news. But Fu Han from the Naval Academy immediately tensed up and immediately took measures to conduct closed training for the naval cadets.

The sea traders and ship owners of the sea were naturally excited to hear the news. Once the Qing Dynasty directly opened the merchant ship trade in Europe and America, the trade volume would no longer be limited to the number of foreign Western merchant ships. The merchants holding shares of the Qing Dynasty Ocean Trade Fleet were even more happy. As soon as the news came out, someone offered a high price to acquire shares in the market.

The most shocking ones were the Western missionaries in the sea. The Qing Empire defeated the Spanish Far East fleet last year and began an expedition to Europe and America this year. The damn Spanish. I wonder what kind of disaster will it bring to Europe? This is an extremely huge empire.

Honggang, northeast of Haixian County, has now become the most attractive place in the sea. After the reconstruction of Haixian County, Honggang and the county were connected by a wide avenue. Various buildings on both sides of the road sprouted like mushrooms after a rain, and have gradually connected Honggang and the county.

All the merchants who came to the sea must go to Honggang for a walk. Many scholars, officials and gentry who came to the sea for the first time also came to watch it with Mu Ming. With their long experience, they have developed to the point that they have not been to Honggang. They are embarrassed to tell others that they have come to the sea.

The fourth prince Yin and Wu Sidao were even more interested in Honggang. This place was where the old fourteenth started. The day after they arrived at the sea, they took the open sedan chair and walked along the stone slab Avenue to Honggang.

As soon as they arrived at Honggang, Yin and the others were attracted by the prosperity here. The vast streets were densely packed with shops and crowds of people. Many of the small vendors on the roadside were women. The men on the street were usually dressed as gentry, and occasionally they saw a few men dressed in ragged craftsmen. What was strange was that they rarely saw children, and the half-old children often seen in various towns were also very rare.

The two got out of the sedan chair and wandered all the way. Looking at the women swaying all over the street, Yin couldn't help but say strangely: "This place is really unique, can you tell me the reason?"

"This is not surprising." Wu Sidao said casually: "Men are all working in factory workshops, so women naturally have no work to do. They can only do miscellaneous work or small vendors to earn a few small money. As for the children, it should be the Fourteenth Master who has run the charity school. But what's strange is that there is not even a little girl. Did they all enter the charity school? This is rare."

The two of them said and turned a street. As soon as they raised their heads, they saw many people in ragged clothes gathered not far away in front, but it was extremely quiet. Many people wearing clothes similar to those of the navy uniforms looked and asked in the crowd, and they felt like a very orderly city. Both of them knew that this must be a factory workshop in Honggang that was from other places, which was a place where craftsmen from other places wanted to enter the factory workshop of Honggang.

After a brief glance, the group of people should have a total of three or four hundred. Both of them couldn't help but be surprised. Are there so many people waiting to enter the factory workshop every day? In this situation, both of them were unwilling to get closer. After a few glances, they turned around and took a few steps. Wu Sidao pondered: "Fourth Master, why not go to their factory workshop?"

Yin nodded, waved to the sedan chair, and the two of them got the sedan chair, and then ordered the sedan chair, "Go to the nearest factory workshop."

The sedan chair bears bowed and said, "My masters, all factory workshops in Honggang are not allowed to enter. The checkpoints are extremely strict, so we will be stopped at the intersection of the street. The two masters need to see the size of the factory workshop. You can rent a boat and watch along the river, or go to the "Zhaixing Tower, the third floor of the restaurant, and climb up to the distance."

Are you so nervous about the guard? Both of you were stunned. However, when you think that the factory workshops here are all built muskets and artillery warships, the two of you were relieved. It would be strange if you were not strict. After a moment of pondering, Yin said, "Then go to the 'Zaixing Tower,'"
