How could Bian Baoquan, who had been in the officialdom for many years, not understand the meaning between the lines of Li Ningyu's words?
Then he began to make a difficult decision in his heart, because this was an important decision, but after he made the decision, he felt calm in his heart, because if he disagreed now, Li Ningyu would definitely kill him, but
If he agrees, not only will he not be in danger of being killed, but he will also be able to securely sit in the position of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. With the help of the Far East, a secret backstage, he will definitely be able to greatly improve or stabilize his current power in the future, even if he is
The Qing Dynasty knew about it, and finally couldn't stay any longer. Then they could go to Taiwan.
"Master Xie has taken a liking to Bian. My subordinates will definitely work hard for the Far East in the future and repay the young master for his great kindness!"
Then Li Ningyu had a secret chat with Bian Baoquan, and through Bian Baoquan's dictation, Li Ningyu had a general understanding of the situation in Fujian and Zhejiang. Then Li Ningyu found Wan Lie and dispatched him from the Far East Guard Camp.
20 guards who still had whips served as bodyguards for Bian Baoquan.
Although Bian Baoquan knew that these soldiers who followed him had two missions, he still happily accepted Li Ningyu's arrangement with a smile, because since he chose to board the ship in the Far East, he would naturally
Loyal, because only those who are loyal will have a good end. It is said that the Far East is the only force that can compete with foreigners, and he actually has not had much hope for the Qing Dynasty for a long time, so Tai Cai has indulged the two of them in these years.
Wife's brother.
However, that night, General Geba, a general of the Han army in the south of the Yangtze River, arrived. After a brief explanation by Bian Baoquan, all the Qing soldiers left Xikou. The next day, Jiang and his mother also boarded the Far East.
The navy warship headed for North Korea, and then Li Ningyu and Duan Tong continued their journey.
In the following days, Huang Youwei, the former magistrate of Hangzhou, was dismissed from his post, his property was confiscated and his head was beheaded. There were originally more than ten bank branches in Fujian and Zhejiang, but they were merged by the red-top businessman Hu Guangyong. In the following days, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang issued another order
He opened a warehouse to release grain to relieve a large number of victims in the surrounding areas, but he did it under the guise of Li Ningyu's request. When the Qing government saw such a big crisis, it killed a prefect and a county magistrate and took out some grain.
After all was resolved, he was naturally very happy, and later rewarded Governor Bian Baoquan with the title of Prince Taibao.
But there is another interesting thing, that is, Bian Baoquan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, divorced his young wife Huang, but when all this happened, Li Ningyu and Duan Tonggege had already continued south to Guangzhou.
Standard displacement: 10,000 tons, full load displacement 15,900 tons, dimensions: total length 188 meters/width 22 meters/draft 6 meters, 6 diesel engines and 4 steam turbines, twin shafts, maximum speed, 23 knots, range: 10,000 nautical miles/18
knot, 16,000 nautical miles/15 knots, armament: 8 triple 283 mm caliber main guns, 6 150 mm caliber single secondary guns, 6 twin 105 mm anti-aircraft guns, 8 twin 37 mm anti-aircraft guns, armor:
The main side armor is 140 mm, the armored deck is 40-70 mm, the main gun turret is 140 mm, the gun mount is 125 mm, and the command tower is 150 mm.
On March 15, 1895, Li Ningyu was sitting in his study in a small courtyard in Guangzhou, writing and painting, while Duan Tong and Wan'er were busy having lunch in the kitchen. After arriving in Guangzhou, Li Ningyu
He gradually returned to his previous habits, but he could remember very little about the navy's ship knowledge. No, after thinking about it for several days and revising it several times, he finally remembered a famous pocket battleship.
The Deutschland-class pocket battleship, and this was the Treaty of Versailles signed on June 28, 1919, during the Battle of Jutland in World War I.
The terms clearly stipulated that the defeated Germany was not allowed to build and own a single Dreadnought battleship, and was only allowed to retain 8 old battleships. These ships were used for no other purpose except for training and coastal defense.
The replacement ship must be built 20 years after the old battleship was launched. The maximum displacement is limited to 10,200 tons, and the caliber of its main gun must not exceed 280mm. These restrictions make the German Navy only a regional force with limited capabilities.
sea power.
However, the smart and ambitious Germans tried their best, and then under the restrictions of the treaty, they gave full play to their technical advantages and carefully designed and built new warships based on the tactical requirements of the German Navy. In the final approved plan, this class adopted **
It is a flat-deck ship. Its armored defense can withstand attacks from heavy cruiser 203mm shells. Its extensive internal compartments can minimize combat damage. Its protective capabilities and firepower are both strong.
However, Li Ningyu planned to use it as a heavy cruiser, because the advantage of the Taishan class was that its firepower configuration was too strong and its movement was too slow, while the Baichuan class light cruiser did not have enough firepower. Therefore, in the Sino-Japanese War, it was the main attack that sank the Japanese combined fleet.
The force relies on large-caliber battleships, and the Baichuan class only plays a coordinated role.
But the next Far East Navy will not only need battleships with strong firepower but also cruisers with navigation capabilities, so Li Ningyu thought hard for several days and only remembered these. However, since the diesel engine had not been designed yet,
So Li Ningyu can only pass these ideas to a few major shipyards and let the technicians think of a solution!
But what I didn't expect was that since the technicians really developed diesel power two years later, and five years later, the Far East Navy would surely attract attention after the appearance of a large number of 10,000-ton heavy cruisers. Then as expected, its
Appearing in front of major naval powers, it has attracted widespread attention because its firepower can deliver a fatal blow to traditional heavy cruisers.
Due to the disproportion between the firepower, armor protection and speed of this type of ship, the classification of its ship types is quite difficult, but soon in Britain, Germany, the United States, France and other countries, it was called a pocket battleship, which can be said to be a light battleship.
It is a massive or miniaturized battleship, but the Far East classifies it as a Huaihe-class cruiser, and it is also one of the most numerous models built in the Far East, because a full 66 ships were built.
"My dear, it's time to eat!" A woman's voice called out from the window.
"Yes, my dear wife!" Then Li Ningyu walked out of the study, and he suddenly felt as if he had returned to the 21st century, living a sweet and happy life with his wife in a small city.
