September 15, 1894, Saturday, Shanghai

When he woke up early in the morning, Zhang Yunfei began to exercise in the yard. It turned out that he had been riding a horse that had been riding for the afternoon yesterday. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw a large group of officials queuing in a queue to give gifts, which made him feel a little amused. Of course, the gifts were to be collected in the end, but in the end it depends on his own ability. Zhang Yunfei knew very well that a general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies. It was different from the road at sea, and he couldn't run away! So he was busy for a long time, which made his body almost fall apart. This made Zhang Yunfei very unhappy. Without a good body, he wouldn't even escape without a war!

"Young Master! It's time to use it well!" Zhang Da stepped forward and said.

"Yeah!" Zhang Yunfei agreed, and practiced for a while and went to breakfast with Zhang Da.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Yaer and Xiner laughing around the table. Seeing Zhang Yunfei coming in, they quickly stopped laughing and stood up to greet Zhang Yunfei. Zhang Yunfei said hello and did it between them. At this time, Zhang Da ordered the servants to serve breakfast.

After a while, breakfast came and Zhang Yunfei ordered to eat. Since they had eaten with Zhang Yunfei in the past, it was not allowed to be with other families. However, because Zhang Yunfei was spoiled, everyone is having a good meal now.

Zhang Yunfei was eating while looking at the two girls, and from time to time he smiled foolishly, thinking: It would be great if this would be fine, and he would not change a gold medal! At this time, he had no ambition at all. It is said: "Crying to the end of the six armies, they all wore white, and they were angry for the beauty!" The ancients really did not deceive me!

Ya'er was so scared by Zhang Yunfei's stare. The woman's intuition told them that the young master was trying to make her a decision. She was a little happy and a little scared. So after eating, she blushed and hid out. However, the little girl Xin'er said with a confused look on her face, why did her sister eat so fast today! Only Zhang Yunfei smiled evilly, and ran away from the nun and couldn't run away from the temple!

After breakfast, Zhang Yunfei led his subordinates and a large group of people rushed to the Wusongkou Naval Office again.

Today's Navy yamen is no longer as deserted as yesterday. After returning from the gift, the navy officials learned that when Admiral Zhang Yunfei came to the yamen, they all shouted that they were not lucky. After knowing that Zhang Yunfei, Lin Jianzhang and Du Xigui were brothers, they regretted it even more. So they all came to the yamen early today to wait for Zhang Yunfei's arrival, hoping that the gift they gave yesterday would satisfy Zhang Yunfei. Now they are not asking for promotion, but they are very happy to be able to protect the existing interests. They also thought about what to do if Zhang Yunfei didn't buy it, but after considering it comprehensively, they still gave up this idea.

After Zhang Yunfei and his group arrived at the lobby of the yamen, they saw that everyone had already been standing on both sides and waiting for him. So Zhang Yunfei was not polite and sat directly on the seat prepared for him in the center. Lin Jianzhang and Du Xigui stood on both sides of Zhang Yunfei. When Lin Jianzhang gave Zhang Yunfei an OK look, Zhang Yunfei began today's topic.

"Today I am called to you. First, I am a newcomer and don't know much about everything. I have to ask you all for a lot of things. I have to meet you first and leave a memorial! Second, there is a personnel transfer announcement today. Before the announcement, I will say hello to you, that is, I will never treat my brothers badly. Now that I have come to the Nanyang Navy, I will treat everyone in the Nanyang Navy as my brothers. Therefore, no matter who has been demoted, his salary will still be the same as before."

As a result, everyone's mood suddenly relaxed. Many people here rely on their connections and came in. They had no ability at all. They just had a salary. Now, after hearing what the Admiral said, even if they were dismissed, they would be paid for their salary. Zhang Yunfei was really as meticulous as the legendary care for his subordinates. No wonder he was so arrogant, but no one impeached him. Of course, except for Li Hongzhang, who asked Zhang Yunfei to poach others' corners?

After seeing that everyone's mentality should be calmed down, Zhang Yunfei also gave Lin Jianzhang a look with confidence, so Lin Jianzhang read out the new personnel appointment that Zhang Yunfei ordered him to draft.

Lin Jianzhang - Right-wing general, Kaiji management leader

Du Xigui - the left wing general, mirror clear pipe belt

Guo Baochang - the rank of the rank of the central army, Huantai steward

Wu Ankang - Right Deputy General of the Central Army, Nan Rui's Manager

Li Chaobin - Left Deputy General of the Central Army, Nan Chen's supervisor

Chen Xi - Deputy General of the Left Wing Left Camp, Hai'an Management Leader

Li Chengmou - Deputy General of the Right-wing Left Camp, Deng Yingzhou's Manager

Xie Taiping - Deputy General of the left wing and right battalion, Yuyuan Train

Wu Daqing - Deputy General of the Right Wing Right Battalion, Wei Jing's Manager

Meng Muchao - Left-wing Central Camp guerrilla, Henghai Pipeline

The other ships remained unchanged, but other official positions of each ship, such as Zhengdu, Deputy Chief, Associate Chief, Deputy Chief, Associate Chief, Associate Chief, Associate Chief, Chief Military Academy, Deputy Chief Military Academy, Associate Chief Military Academy, etc., have arranged Zhang Yunfei's people, because they don't understand naval warfare, so they are all deputy chiefs and play the role of military supervisor. This allowed Zhang Yunfei to experience the army's monopoly system for the first time. From this point of view, the Beiyang Navy is Li Hongzhang's private army, which is not a false statement! However, the difference is that Zhang Yunfei arranged his people in positions that do not affect the battle, while Li Hongzhang was all arranged in important positions. From the appointment of Ding Ruchang, who was born in the army, who did not move at all, it can be seen that this is only familiar to everyone, so how many in secret cannot be counted. Zhang Yunfei was very satisfied with Lin Jianzhang's arrangement. So he was very happy that he decided to review the Nanyang Navy and hold a meeting.

Lin Jianzhang and Du Xigui were even more excited when they heard this. This has always been their dream and has come true now, so they immediately arranged for a fuck with the staff.

Somewhere in the East China Sea, in the command cabin of the Kaiji Bridge, Lin Jianzhang pointed to the ships around him that were changing formations and told Zhang Yunfei about the various formations.

It is roughly like this. It turned out that in the summer of 1884, Tianjin Naval Academy compiled and drawn the book "The Legend of the Ship Formation". The book is divided into two volumes, including 118 types of formations, which basically brings together all the formations of modern naval combat. "The Legend of the Ship Formation" was not only regarded as a textbook for naval schools at that time, but also became a model for fleet and ship formation formations in training and combat in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

Looking at the book, all formations can be roughly divided into three categories: fishing arrays, geese arrays and oblique arrays. In modern naval terms, they are columns, horizontal groups and echelons. Fleets or ship formations are divided into squads in most cases. Squads are basic combat units, and the formations of formations or fleets use depends on the formations of the team.

Aquamarine formation (column) Aquamarine formation is divided into a single-line formation (single column), a double-line formation (second-way column), a three-line formation (three-way column), a four-line formation (four-way column), etc. A single-line formation is the following of each team and the entire team according to the direction and speed of the first ship. The straight distance between each ship is maintained at 400 yards, which is about 2 chains. Multi-line formation is the team forming a single-line formation, and the whole team is arranged side by side with the team where the flagship or the benchmark ship is located, with the same heading and speed

Advance. If three ships are formed into a team, the horizontal distance between each team is maintained at 1,200 yards; if the ships of each team are not arranged in parallel, but are arranged at one side in the middle of the two ships in the neighboring team in sequence, the whole team is a clamping array. If six ships are divided into two teams composed of three ships, and are arranged as clamping arrays. The oblique distance between each team is maintained at 400 yards, and the straight distance between each ship in the team is maintained at 533 yards. If each team takes the horn formation and follows up in sequence, the whole team is a clamping array.

The geese formation (horizontal formation) is divided into a one-character geese formation (one line of horizontal formation), a double-stacked geese formation (two line of horizontal formations), a three-stacked geese formation (three line of horizontal formations), a four-stacked geese formation (four line of horizontal formations), etc.

The one-line geese formation is that each squad and the whole team are deployed in a single horizontal line. The whole team is based on the benchmark ship or flagship, and advances in the same direction and speed. The horizontal distance between each ship is maintained at 400 yards. The multi-stacked geese formation is that each squad forms a one-line geese formation. The benchmark team is in front, and the other squads overlap and are arranged behind them in sequence, and advance at the same direction and speed. If three ships are formed into a team, the straight distance between each team is maintained at 1,200 yards.

If the ships of each team do not overlap in sequence, but are arranged in the middle of the two adjacent ships of the front squad to follow up, the whole team will be a slit-slit-shaped geese formation. For example, 6 ships are divided into two squads composed of 3 ships, and arranged as a slit-shaped geese formation. The oblique distance between each team is maintained at 400 yards, and the horizontal distance between each ship in the team is maintained at 533 yards. If each team adopts the horn formation and advances side by side, the whole team will be a slit-shaped geese formation.

The situation of oblique array (stage formation) is relatively complicated. It is mainly divided into horn formations, eagle-hanging left (right) wing formations, Yan Jian formations, elk horn formations, tripod foot formations, four-dimensional formations, etc.

Angle array. This is a formation used by a team composed of 3 ships. Its specific arrangement is: Ship 1 (the benchmark ship) is in front; Ship 2 is arranged at 45 degrees behind the right side of Ship 1, with an oblique distance of 400 yards; Ship 3 is arranged at 78 degrees behind the left side of Ship 1, with an oblique distance of 700 yards, and advances at the same heading and speed. Several small arrays of the 3 ships squad each take the horn formation, and can be arranged as the horn fishing formation, the horned geese formation, the horned eagle formation, the horned swallow cutting formation, etc. At this time, the straight, horizontal and oblique distances between each team are maintained at 1,200 yards, and advances at the same heading and speed.

The Eagle Rolling Left (Right) Wing Array, that is, the left (right) Wing Echelon. Its specific arrangement is: Ship 1 (the benchmark ship) is in front; the other ships are arranged 45 degrees behind the left (right) of Ship 1, and the inclined distance between the two adjacent ships remains 400 yards, and advances at the same course and speed.

The Eagle Roaring Double Wing Formation, that is, the double echelon. The specific arrangement is to rank the Eagle Roaring left and right wings at the same time.

Yan Jian formation, that is, herringbone formation, is actually a double echelon. Its specific arrangement is: Ship 1 (the benchmark ship) is in front, and the other ships are arranged in the rear left and right rear of Ship 1 in sequence, each at 45 degrees. The oblique distance between the two adjacent ships remains 400 yards, and advances at the same course and speed.

The elk horn formation, that is, the anti-herring formation, is actually the front double echelon. Its specific arrangement is similar to the Yan Jian formation, the difference is that the relative positions between each ship are opposite.

The tripod formation, that is, the front triangular formation, is adopted by the 3-ship team. Its specific arrangement is: Ship 1 (the benchmark ship) is in front, and the other two ships are at 45 degrees each behind the left and right of Ship 1, and the oblique distance between them is 400 yards, and they are advanced at the same course and speed.

The four-dimensional array, that is, the prismatic formation, is adopted by the 4-ship team. Its specific arrangement is: the positional relationship of ship No. 1 (baseline ship), ship No. 2, and ship No. 3 is the same as that of the tripod formation; ship No. 4 is arranged at the intersection point of the 45-degree line on the left and the 45-degree line on the right and the 45-degree line on the right of ship No. 2, and ship No. 3, and keeps the oblique distance of ship No. 2 and ship No. 3, and moves at the same course and speed.
