Chapter 546: The Hope of the Navy
The official silver was lost and the Dinghai Navy suffered heavy losses, which shocked Huang Zonghan.
Wang Yide's plan to mobilize all the battalions of the Zhejiang Navy to attack Dongfan Island could no longer be implemented.
Huang Zonghan couldn't protect himself here, how could he dare to transfer the remaining navy?
At this time, Guo You had already led the navy to appear at the mouth of the Minjiang River. Wang Yide was greatly shocked and quickly ordered troops from all provinces to gather in Fuzhou.
He did not want to repeat the mistakes of the last time Fuzhou was besieged.
Now Wang Yide's career is in crisis again.
He had not seen Yiliang and Qingrui in the past two days. Wang Yide knew that these two people were probably harboring some bad ideas.
Wang Yide concealed the news of Wang Ziyu's surrender to the enemy and did not spread it. However, there is no airtight wall in the world.
Qingrui had sold many officials in Fujian, and he had confidants everywhere. It was not difficult to learn this secret.
…
On Hong Kong Island, Perry was walking with Abbott in the mansion where they lived.
The houses on Hong Kong Island are basically built along the harbour, all of which are bungalows. Only some Chinese-style houses are located in invisible corners, where the Han people on the island live.
Ordinary sailors in the fleet naturally can only live on board the ship, and can only go ashore for recreation at fixed times of the day.
The entertainment facilities on Hong Kong Island are very complete, and most of them are opened by Chinese.
The British have ruled here for more than ten years and have cultivated a group of "yellow silks" of their own.
These people rely on the British to make money and serve the British.
There is a shortage of everything on the small Hong Kong Island, and food supplies have to be sent from Guangzhou City.
"Abbott, what do you mean by the British this time? Why do they support our attack on Dongfan Island?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, you don't need to pay attention to the little tricks of the British. They just want to use us as guns. But solving this pirate that affects the Pacific route is our goal. If we can occupy Dongfan Island, we
There is a place to stand in the East."
"Yes, if we can have our own colony, we don't have to rely on others like we do now, and we have to look at the British's face. And the conditions on Dongfan Island are much better than here. What's more, if we can control Dongfan Island
, it also has important strategic significance for us to control Fuso."
"If we in the United States want to surpass the United Kingdom in the future, we must pay attention to sea power. Without sea power, the United States will never be able to dominate the entire world alone on the North American continent."
Perry was a staunch maritime rights activist.
Moreover, his vision was very forward-looking. As early as more than ten years ago, he had realized that steam power would replace sails and dominate the future of the navy.
"Commander, I heard from Valga that this group of pirates is not easy to deal with. They once went to Ryukyu Yaeyama Islands to encircle and suppress those people, but failed in the end. Now that they have occupied Toban Island, their strength will definitely increase."
"No matter what kind of enemy it is, you have to deal with it before you know it. Also, they made mistakes they shouldn't have made, giving up their advantage at sea and landing operations without understanding the opponent's strength."
"The navy must first defeat the enemy at sea. After gaining control of the sea, the initiative in combat will be in our hands."
"Abbott, what we have to do is to find the pirate fleet and defeat them, then surround Dongfan Island to find their weakest point, and tear off their flesh bit by bit like sharks until their
Until the blood dries up."
"Turn back and ask Orik's fleet to follow us. I have a hunch that this military operation will be related to our strategic posture in the Pacific for the next hundred years."
…
Dong Liang didn't know that a shark lurking under the sea was approaching him.
The escort army encountered a dangerous opponent this time.
Dong Liang was on the dock at this time welcoming the arrival of Chinese officials and their families.
Zhang Yuanfang is very efficient, and a thousand students in the university hall are already in place.
Zhang Yuanfang has a list of all the scholars on Dongfan Island, whether they are candidates, scholars or children without fame.
Now that a university has been opened on the island and there is an opportunity to study for free, these people are naturally flocking to it.
After a simple selection process, the framework of the university hall was established.
The teachers of the school can also be selected from various colleges. Those gentlemen are still willing to go from private colleges to public schools and become high-level teachers.
Now the blue and black gowns on the pier look really neat.
In addition to curriculum reform, Dong Liang also required that archery courses must be provided in university halls.
It just restores the archery among the Six Arts of the Gentleman. This makes sense. There is no problem in using muskets instead of bows and arrows in archery.
Dong Liang didn't care what kind of status these people had in studying before. Now that they are Chinese scholars and their studies are supported by the state's finances, they must study according to the Chinese model.
Chinese scholars must not lack courage and courage, and must not be industrious.
Because the future of the Chinese people will go global and participate in the struggle for living space.
This kind of competition often requires iron and fire. These people not only arm their minds with Chinese ideas, but also pass these ideas on to ordinary warriors.
They even have to go to the battlefield with the soldiers.
The days of trying to take on big responsibilities just by relying on stereotyped articles, as in the past, have passed.
Yang Yingying followed the crowd with a wooden suitcase in her hand.
Each of the five members of Zhou Tenghu's family was carrying a lot of things, except for the little girl Niu Niu who was holding a stuffed monkey in her arms.
This time it was really a move, and all the offices of the Chinese headquarters were moved to Anping City.
While Yang Yingying was still on the deck, she looked at the dock from a distance.
The dock in Anping City looks older than that in Uehara Port, but it is larger in area.
After all, this is a prefectural city that has been developed for hundreds of years, and it cannot be compared to a newly developed place like Iriomote Island.
She finally spotted Dong Liang in the crowd. He was wearing a wooden-brimmed sun hat, a long-sleeved blue military uniform, and a cowhide belt around his waist. He looked very smart.
Spirited.
But when she saw Shang Yunzhi wearing a slender white dress next to Dong Liang, Yang Yingying had a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
But she quickly put this emotion behind her.
The ship docked, and Yang Yingying disembarked behind the crowd.
She was like a graceful orchid, trying hard to hide herself among the green leaves.
But the outstanding aura still cannot be suppressed and exudes.
The contents of her suitcase are Dong Liang's most important original manuscripts.
When Dong Liang was away, he always entrusted Yang Yingying to keep it.
It contains some secrets of Dong Liang. That long dream is a secret that only Dong Liang and Yang Yingying know.
Yang Yingying walked with her head lowered, fearing that her feet would miss the mark.
Suddenly, a thug with slender fingers appeared in her field of vision.
He took the suitcase from her hands.
Yang Yingying raised her head, and her beautiful eyes met Dong Liang's.
"Yingying, thank you for your hard work!" Dong Liang had a smile on his face, but he didn't say much.
Shang Yun trotted forward and took Yang Yingying's arm. He put his mouth next to Yang Yingying's ear and whispered something unknown.
The relationship between the two is actually good, and Shang Yun spends most of his time in the hospital or laboratory.
The people on the island regard her as a noble princess and a living bodhisattva who heals diseases and saves people.
Only when we are together with Yang Yingying do we still have something in common.
Yang Yingying's originally dull expression finally glowed with brilliance.
Following the arrival of the Chinese transport fleet was the grain transport ship of the Su family in Guangzhou.
