At the Shanghai Honggang Military Wharf, more than 20 large and small warships slowly sailed in and headed towards the designated berths in turn. At the dock, Fuhan brought a group of instructors and guards to look at the neatly lined up on the warships. The soldiers of these warships were sent by the Beiyang Fleet to help them and train students from Guangzhou Naval Academy for sailing. It has become a tradition of the navy to bring old to the new.

As soon as the first third-class battleship landed, Fu Han brought people to welcome him. The ship was Liu Zhisheng, who was actually a second-rank deputy general. His destination for his southward journey was not Shanghai, but Guangzhou, taking over the Guangzhou Naval Academy, and came to Shanghai to ask for battleships and artillery ammunition.

After meeting and talking, Fu Han smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"What are you going to congratulate?" Liu Zhisheng smiled and said, "How can you be so excited to go out to sea with military training? You are not congratulations, you are just a gloating."

"Haha, look at you're wronged." Fu Han chuckled, "You're really in a blessing and don't know how to be blessed." As he said, he turned his back and gave in and said, "Let's go, the banquet that welcomes you is ready."

"How many new warships have been launched this year?" Liu Zhisheng asked as he walked.

"Look at you're anxious." Fu Han smiled and said, "There are twenty-four artillery ships, all of which are equipped in place, and have already been tested and tested. Let's give you half of them."

"Half?" Liu Zhisheng said unwillingly: "It's too few. Don't look at the many warships I brought, I have to pay it back."

"Don't talk to me in plain words." Fu Han glanced at him and said disdainfully: "There are not many warships going to America this year. I'm greedy for so many warships. Can you use them?"

"Hey, look at what you said. Guangzhou is also a 10,000-strong number. It will recruit recruits soon. I still think there are fewer ones, so where are there idle?" Liu Zhisheng turned his head and looked at him, saying, "A few shipyards of such a large number in Shanghai. Are you still worried about not having any warship training?"

"Okay, we won't waste your spit with you." Fu Han shook his hand and said, "You go with Zheng Qinghai, he is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is on the verge of the horse." As he said that, he had already turned over and said, "Let's go to 'Tianranju', Zhang Yuanlong, Zheng Qinghai, Li Wei and others are waiting there. I have to hang you up today."

"Who might be lying on the side?" Liu Zhisheng also got on the horse and smiled: "I have been sailing for a year, but I haven't had the energy to gain strength, so my alcohol tolerance has improved by leaps and bounds."

"Tianranju" has visited Zhenwu several times. Since Zhenwu ascended the throne last year, it has become a big name. It is no longer the same as before. Not only are the three walls of the upper and lower sides decorated, but several new separate courtyards have been opened along the river. Even so, it is still hard to find a daily building.

The two rode horses to the gate of a separate courtyard on the northmost side of the river. Zhang Yuanlong, Zheng Qinghai, Li Wei and others hurriedly came out and saw Zhang Yuanlong visiting with official etiquette. Fu Han hurriedly stepped forward and held him in a hint, "The Zhang Dong family is not an outsider. I dare not take this gift." As he said that, he waved to Zheng Qinghai and the others and said, "Don't make trouble for that kind of false gift."

Liu Zhisheng glanced at Zhang Yuanlong in casual clothes and felt funny in his heart. The name of Fu Han was unique. If you think about it carefully, it was really hard to call him. Although he was the father of Concubine Zhang, Concubine Zhang was adopted. Everyone knows the reason, but this matter can only be done with clarity and pretending to be confused and meeting with official etiquette. Because the official title is higher than that of him, it is appropriate to call him as the owner of the Ocean Trade Fleet.

After a few people exchanged greetings, they entered the house and sat down. Naturally, they pushed Zhang Yuanlong to sit in the first seat. After seating, Fu Han smiled and said with a smile: "Zhang Dongjia, the Ocean Trade Fleet will open an American route this year. This time, the Beiyang Fleet deliberately went south to teach sailing experience, but I don't know..."

"Haha, this is really timely rain." Zhang Yuanlong chuckled: "The sea area is different, and the various climates and waves are also different. The crew sailors have no experience in voyages from the Americas. I am worried that the Beiyang Fleet is really grateful to me for coming to teach the experience."

"Why should you be polite to the Zhang Dong family? The ocean trade fleet and the navy are one." Liu Zhisheng said politely.

"Since we are a family, there is no need to be polite." Zheng Qinghai said with a smile, and then ordered: "Serve the dishes and serve wine."

Seeing Zheng Qinghai responding, Liu Zhisheng hurriedly continued the conversation: "Master Zheng, I'm here specifically for you this time."

"You are talking about warships, twelve ships in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and now there are only so many ships on hand." Zheng Qinghai said disrespectfully.

Liu Zhisheng dared not neglect this Honggang chief manager, and immediately smiled and said, "There are few warships trained by Guangzhou College, and they don't have enough training on weekdays. Can you take proper care of them?"

"It's not impossible to think too much." Fu Han interrupted: "Three cups, one small one, five cups, one large one."

Liu Zhisheng glanced at the wine glass that was served, which was a cup of one or two. He was so proud that he looked at Zheng Qinghai and said, "Master Zheng, do you think this is serious?"

"Since Fuxi Town agrees, I naturally have nothing to say." Zheng Qinghai said with a smile.

When Li Weideng saw the excitement, he became energetic and said, "A real man, he is spitting and nailing. Since he has made a decision, I will monitor the wine."

After a banquet, Liu Zhisheng drank sixteen more cups than everyone else, and before leaving, he muttered: "Keep your word, two big and two small, four warships."

The crowd parted in joy. When they returned to the Naval Academy, Liu Zhisheng washed up a little, and it turned out to be nothing. Fu Han couldn't help but say in surprise: "You guy pretend to be drunk?"

"It's not pretending to be drunk." Liu Zhisheng chuckled and said, "I'm afraid you don't have so many warships for me, so I'll leave a few for you." As he said that, he picked up the hot tea and took a few sips before saying, "Tell me the truth, how many new warships have been launched this year?"

"Okay, Liu Lao Er, you're such a three-day separation. You should look at him with admiration." Fu Han smiled happily and said, "You're not doing anything if you have more than two pounds of wine?"

"It's as light as water, so it's also called wine?" Liu Zhisheng said disdainfully, and asked again, "What's going on?"

Fu Han curled his smile and asked, "The Emperor ordered you to go to Guangzhou to take over the Guangzhou Naval Academy. Haven't you seen him?"

"I didn't let my eyes see you, so I ordered me to set off immediately, go to Shanghai to collect warships and ammunition, and hurry up and train." Speaking of this, he glanced at Fu Han in confusion and said softly: "The emperor has another decree?"

"Yes, Zheng Qinghai is not so brave to be so brave to privately transfer warships?" Fu Han said in a deep voice: "The emperor did have an order to force him to tilt Guangzhou. He came to discuss the specific amount with me yesterday."

"I'm going to get me drunk together." Liu Zhisheng smiled slightly, and soon frowned again. Why did Zhenwu attach so much importance to Guangzhou Naval Academy? He asked himself to take over the academy and take care of the warships? Do you have to attack the Nanyang vassals? After pondering for a moment, he said, "The navy has a war to fight?"

Fu Han smiled and said, "Yes, conquering Africa. And it is mainly composed of students from Guangzhou. Otherwise, how could I congratulate you as soon as I meet?"

Conquering Africa! Liu Zhisheng couldn't help but feel happy and said quickly: "Really? Isn't it a joke?"

"Dare I joking about this?" Fu Han smiled and said, "The emperor has a secret order. I will take it to you later in my signing room." After a slight pause, he continued: "The climate in Africa is hot. Guangzhou and Fujian people are resistant to heat and are not prone to smallpox and other diseases. This is the main reason why the emperor uses Guangzhou students as the main force. Tianjin and Shanghai each provide one thousand people to assist. The warships you brought are all prepared for the conquest of Africa."

When Liu Zhisheng heard this, he couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Can we know where to conquer Africa? Who are we fighting with? Netherlands or Britain?"

"The Dutch people entrenched in South Africa and West Africa." Fuhan said relaxedly.

Liu Zhisheng couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "Why do you need to mobilize a group of troops to fight the Dutch?"

"Liu and rabbit must also have all their strength. How can you underestimate the enemy before fighting?" Fu Han said in a deep voice.

Liu Zhisheng was slightly suffocated and then defended: "It's not that he underestimated the enemy, but that the Dutch troops were limited, and the troops stationed in various places were very weak. In such a rich place, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers. I think there wouldn't be many troops stationed in Africa, so why do we need to mobilize such a large army?"

"What is the richness of Karopa?" Fu Han said disdainfully: "I have found a few European missionaries to inquire about the Gold Coast in West Africa, and it is also a stronghold for selling black slaves in Europe. How can Karopa compare with West Africa? Then...," he pondered slightly, and then said: "You should be very familiar with Kunyu Wanguo Map. West Africa is not far from Spain in Europe. When the emperor conquered West Africa at this time, I guess it is necessary to support the Nanyang Fleet."

After hearing this, Liu Zhisheng couldn't help but get excited. In such a prosperous place, the Dutch would definitely station heavy troops, and at least 5,000 people would have. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Can you get information from West Africa?"

Fuhan shook his head slightly and said, "No one knows the specific situation there. The Qing Dynasty's gold is in short supply. The conquest of West Africa should be aimed at the Gold Coast. Only when the Dutch are currently occupying the Gold Coast, no one knows how many troops there are. However, the wealth of gold in West Africa is known by the missionaries. It is said that the kings there are all wearing huge gold collars, and the local natives are also wearing heavy gold jewelry."

Is it so exaggerated? Liu Zhisheng was stunned for a moment before saying, "Didn't the British navy be the most powerful? Why did the Netherlands monopolize the Gold Coast?"

"I have asked this question, but no one told me the answer." Fu Han said with a frown: "It is reported that the Gold Coast was first occupied by the Portuguese. When the country ruled the Central Plains, the Netherlands defeated Portugal and occupied the entire Gold Coast. The reason why Britain did not take action was probably because it was unable to pull itself away or was an ally with the Netherlands. There is no need to worry about this. It is undoubtedly true that the Dutch are entrenched on the Gold Coast.

We have already snatched the Dutch Garroba, and this beam has long been formed. It is no big deal to snatch his South Africa and West Africa. There is no need to worry about debt, there is no itch, there is no itch, there is no need to grab it, there is no need to grab it, there is no need to grab it, there is no need to grab it, there is no need to grab it, there is no need to grab it."
