Then he took Zhang Yunfei to visit various ships and told Zhang Yunfei about the situation of the Nanyang Navy. First of all, it was a cruiser, which was the only warship that the Nanyang Navy could do. Since the imperial court followed the plan of first Beiyang and then Nanyang, all funds were transferred to Beiyang, and Nanyang could only rely on local officials to make up the wrong ships.

"Kaiji" hit the cruiser, the 24th ship built by Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau was designed and supervised by the Shipbuilding Directors Wu Dezhang, Li Shoutian and Yang Lianchen. It was completed and launched on January 11, 1883, with a cost of 386,000 taels of silver.

The "Jingqing" hit the cruiser, the 26th ship built by the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau is the same type as the "Huantai". It was designed and supervised by the Shipbuilding Director Wu Dezhang, Li Shoutian and Yang Lianchen. It was completed and launched on December 23, 1885, and the cost of silver was 366,000 taels.

The "Nanchen" and "Nanrui" protective cruisers, two of which are of the same class, were manufactured by the German Vulkan factory. They were completed and launched on December 12, 1883 and January 8, 1884, with a cost of 270,000 yuan per ship.

Information on the two ships: hull steel, length 85 meters, width 11 meters, draft 5 meters, power is "two de-steamer two pairs, smoke pipe and boiler four seats", 2,800 horsepower, speed 13 knots, carrying 450 tons of coal, 40 tons of fresh water, 184 people

Main weapons: 4 8-inch Armstrong guns, 4 4.7-inch Armstrong guns, 2 37mm Hakiss 5-bar machine guns, 4 4 4-bar machine guns, and 1 Green gun.

The pipes are Xie Taiping and Li Chengmou.

All the rest were all small gunboats and mosquito torpedo boats. Because Zhang Yunfei saw that the hull was too old, some of them were still running in the front hall, so he was not interested. He just heard Lin Jianzhang say some names.

The gunboats are Tianji, Cedian, Feiting, Longxiang, Huwei, Zhen'an, Yuyuan, Hai'an, Weijing, Sea, Jinou, Dengyingzhou, Junhe, etc.

Practice ship: Chengqing (drift south to support Fujian Shipbuilding Navy during the Sino-French War, and sank in the Shipu Navy. After the salvaged water, it was changed to a practice ship), Henghai (in 1886, heavy fog hit a reef and sank in Penghu, and in 1890, it was restored last year, as a practice ship)

Transportation ships: Jiang'an, Chengbo, etc.

When Zhang Yunfei heard that the warship where Lin Jianzhang and Du Xigui were actually small gunboats, he felt that it was very unfair to them. You should know that they graduated from Jiangnan Naval Academy, also known as Nanyang Naval Academy, Jiangning Naval Academy, and opened in the 16th year of Guangxu (1890). It was the cradle of the Chinese Navy! The campus is located in Yifengmen, Xiaguan, Nanjing, and mainly provides talents for Nanyang Naval. The school system refers to Tianjin Naval Academy, and is divided into two subjects, driving and steering, each subject is divided into two classes, two and three classes, and each class is assigned a special course. The courses are divided into two classes.

Classes and boat classes. After entering the school, students enter Class 3 and specialize in learning basic knowledge such as English. Only after entering the first class can they teach professional knowledge, including astronomy, seaways, wind control, formation, construction, steam engines, and mine release. Every few years, Navy Tizhen leads students to take a boat to train in overseas internships, and the students are assessed and scored. The whole study has been conducted for 6-7 years, and graduates are sent to study in the UK. The school originally planned to have 120 students, but after the establishment of the school, due to the lack of boat training and cannot meet the needs of students' internships, the number of students was cut year by year.

Jiangnan Naval Academy is more than Fuzhou Shipbuilding Administration, and Tianjin Naval Academy is the next generation, but it is very active in handling it. Graduates may be sent to Japan to study or intern in British warships, creating many talents. By the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan Naval Academy graduated with a total of 107 driving classes for seven sessions, 91 in six sessions, and 13 in fifth sessions of torpedo classes (integrated from Jiangnan Torpedo School). The famous graduates include: Lin Jianzhang, Du Xigui, Chen Jiliang, and Chen Shao.

Kuan, Zhao Sheng and others. In addition, Zhou Shuren (Lu Xun), Zhou Zuoren and his brothers also studied at the Jiangnan Naval Academy. Lu Xun entered the shift in 1898, but the Jiangnan Naval Academy was already corrupt and devastated at that time. There are not many people graduating now, so Lin Jianzhang and Du Xigui became the treasures in Zhang Yunfei's hands, so they had to be reused quickly. Zhang Yunfei thought so. So he also heard Lin Jianzhang tell their warships.

The "Hai'an" Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau built the No. 5 warship, designed by Xu Shou and others in accordance with the style of foreign warships, and was supervised. Construction started in 1871, launched on May 24, 1872, and completed on March 18, 1874, with a cost of 355,198 taels of silver. Later, because it was the same name as the Guangdong warship "Zhen'an", it was renamed "Hai'an" (also known as "Hai'an") on March 14, 1874 because it was the same name as the Guangdong warship "Zhen'an".

Ship information: Wooden shell soldier wheels are manufactured using iron nail joint seam process. The ship is the same as "Yuyuan", with a length of 96 meters, a width of 13.4 meters, a draft of 6.4 meters, a displacement of 2,800 tons, and a horizontal steam machine with a power of 1,800 horsepower, a speed of 12 knots, and a 372-person squad.

Main weapons: Most artillery is imported through Paliyang and is partially made. The cabin is arranged with 120mm Krupp steel cannon and 1 80-pound steel cannon; the next deck is arranged with 16 40-pound steel cannon and 1 80-pound steel cannon;

The "Yuyuan" gunboat Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was built, "Hai'an" started construction in May 1872, "Yuyuan" started construction in 1873, launched on December 23, 1873, completed in the winter of 1875, designed and supervised by Xu Shou and others. Each ship cost 318,717 taels of silver.

Ship information: Wooden-shelled warships are manufactured using iron nail joint seam process. The ship is 91.44 meters long, 12.8 meters wide, 6.4 meters draft, 2,630 tons of water displacement, and a vertical steam machine with a power of 1,750 horsepower, a speed of 12 knots, and a 372-person squad.

Main weapons: 2 9-inch borehole guns, 24 70-pound guns.

After the visit, Zhang Yunfei brought Lin Jianzhang, Du Xigui and Zhang Yunfei's entourage back to the lobby of the station. After everyone sat down, Zhang Yunfei said to Lin Jianzhang and Du Xigui:

"The two brothers are pillars of the country, but now they are under the leadership of the small ship. Zhang thought it was definitely a waste of talent. Now, since I am the admiral of the Nanyang Navy, I will benefit the brothers of the Nanyang Navy. Unfortunately, I have the seven orifices of the Navy, and I don't know anything. So I ask the two brothers to serve as the left and right wing commanders of the Nanyang Navy, and the Zengrong brothers serve as the right wing commanders to assist me in commanding and training the Nanyang Navy, leading the Kaiji impact cruiser, and the Shenchen brothers serve as the left wing commanders, responsible for the technical assessment of the officers and soldiers of the Navy, and the Jingqing impact cruiser. I hope you can help me! I wonder what you two mean?"

Lin Jianzhang and Du Xigui looked at each other and saw that Zhang Yunfei's expression was sincere, not like making a falsification, both felt extremely excited. Promotion was one aspect, and being able to command on a large warship was the glory that every naval soldier dreamed of. I was suddenly very good at Zhang Yunfei, and Zhang Yunfei's image immediately became tall in their hearts. So they knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Thank you for your cultivation!"

Zhang Yunfei hurriedly helped the two of them up and said, "I have to help you two brothers, and I will be like a tiger with wings!"

The navy officers and soldiers next to him and Zhang Yunfei's subordinates came up to congratulate him.

Before leaving, Zhang Yunfei asked Lin Jianzhang and Du Xigui to draw a list of appointments, which would give him tomorrow, and he would handle it tomorrow. Lin and Du still don’t understand where they are their own people? Find a confidant for him! So he agreed to Zhang Yunfei. But Zhang Yunfei was not willing to do this, but now Zhang Yunfei doesn’t know anything, and there are no capable ministers and officials, so he has to do this!
