After staying in Yuhang for three days, Ling Tianfang threw down the three officials of the General Staff Department and the Planning Department and asked them to be responsible for the preliminary preparations for the construction of the Great Oriental Navy together with the local political axe, and he himself took a boat along the coast and went south to arrive at the Zhuangyuanao Military Port.

Songjiang Mansion is not near the sea, and Yueqing Town, where Zhuangyuanao is located, actually assumes the obligation of Songjiang's maritime communication gateway to a certain extent, and Zhuangyuanao has always been a supply base for the original imperial navy because of its unique surrounding geographical location, but this time it has been upgraded to a reserve base for the first standing fleet. Compared with the dilapidated Yuhang Military Port, Zhuangyuanao can only be said to be Xiao Suo, originally not as spectacular as the Yuhang Military Port, and the status is not as important as the Yuhang Military Port, in fact, it can be said that it was abandoned, and even once became a stronghold of maritime smuggling gangs and Japanese trades, until the West Xinjiang officially took over the entire Jiangnan, with the establishment of the local garrison, there was gradually a trace of vitality here.

The city guard of Songjiang Mansion has not been determined, until Ling Tianfang left Hanzhong, there is still no suitable candidate, in fact, there are many candidates, but it is precisely because there are too many candidates that His Royal Highness King Qin, who has always been decisive and resolute, also seems to be a little hesitant this time, Ling Tianfang doesn't know if it is his own oversensitivity or it is true, in this wave of official appointments it seems to be mixed with some discordant noises, although Ling Tianfang has never been very fond of asking about these local government affairs, but as the director of the four major administrations in Western Xinjiang, it is impossible for His Royal Highness King Qin not to solicit the opinions of all parties before appointing these local officials, even if sometimes it is only a superficial procedure。 The ups and downs of that Bai Yuan important person seem to be the result of the fighting methods of all parties, as for what His Royal Highness King Qin had in mind to arrange him to serve as a city guard in this Yuhang Mansion, probably only His Royal Highness the King of Qin himself understands.

Songjiang is the leading mansion in the textile industry, whether it is cotton textile or silk reeling industry, it is the first capital of the empire, and this is the base of the Hua family, Ling Tianfang does not want to connect the Hua family with the problem of difficult birth in Songjiang Mansion this time, but it is said that the Hua family seems to have some hope that it can be produced from a gentry among the local people who are friendly to the Hua family, but this does not seem to have been approved by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so this position seems to be suspended all of a sudden, fortunately, the acting city guard of Songjiang Mansion who accompanied Ling Tianfang to inspect the champion Ao seems to be quite capable, and he can actually repair this champion Ao in the few days he stayed in Yuhang Mansion, It seems that in addition to being deserted and depressed, there are not too many things that are out of the way, Zhuangyuan Ao should say that it is a very good harbor, the circular bay is a natural sheltered harbor, and the water depth in any place in the bay is more than ten meters, which provides quite favorable conditions for berthing heavy and large ships, but Songjiang Fucheng is not near the sea and in the inland makes the excellent geographical conditions here useless, just a town in Yueqing is far from being able to support the popularity of a seaport, but now Zhuangyuan Ao seems to have ushered in an opportunity, if it can become an alternate and logistics base for the fleet, the status here will rise rapidly, even with this Yueqing Town, I'm afraid it will prosper a lot all of a sudden.

When Situ Yuan left Quanzhou, the remnants of the Imperial Third Navy Fleet were still stationed in the Quanzhou Military Port, and under the protection of the nearby Milan Navy, the Japanese did not dare to easily try to challenge the Milan Navy, and the Third Navy Fleet, which had suffered heavy losses, was reluctant to stay in Quanzhou and the nearby Huludao Military Port.

When Situ Tai entered Jiangnan, the status of Quanzhou became more and more special, the garrison of the Milanese has been staying in Quanzhou, and Situ Tai seems to be in order not to anger the Milanese, he turned a blind eye to the current situation in Quanzhou, and adopted an attitude of not asking about each other, and Quanzhou actually became a state of semi-reading.

Although the Milanese did not bother with the specific administrative affairs of Quanzhou Prefecture, they were actually exerting a huge influence, step by step to include Quanzhou into Milan's sphere of influence, Situ Tai had no time to take care of it, but when he saw that this trend was gradually moving closer to the goal, he was disrupted by the sudden drastic change of the situation in the entire Jiangnan, and the industrial and commercial class of Quanzhou Prefecture made such a statement when Jiangnan was just incorporated into the rule of Western Xinjiang. However, the Milanese were very good at judging the situation, and they were keenly aware that Li Wufeng was not Situ Tai, and he would not tolerate anything that should belong to him to someone else, so after the merchants of Quanzhou quickly realized this problem and corrected their statement, the Milanese also showed that they had no intention of Quanzhou.

But Quanzhou still seems to be targeted by the security department, a purge made many people aware that behind the generosity of His Royal Highness King Qin seems to be hidden some untouchable scales, and the new city guard Wu Yaohan seems to be an iron-faced Yama-type figure, in addition to encouraging the development of industry and commerce and shipping held by the local business community, at the same time, it is not taboo to warn all businessmen not to forget their respective identities, once the bottom line is exceeded, the consequences will also be extremely serious, which also makes Quanzhou people know that the new city guard is a ruthless and black-hearted tricky person。

However, Ling Tianfang was very familiar with this Wu Yaohan, and he was suddenly transferred from the northwest border to the southeast city, Ling Tianfang naturally knew that this guy was a hardcore subordinate of His Royal Highness King Qin, and arranging him to serve as a city guard in Quanzhou also had a profound meaning.

There were still two large warships and more than a dozen small and medium-sized warships left in the Third Naval Fleet of the Empire, although they were all a little dilapidated, but Ling Tianfang knew that these guys could be put into use as long as they repaired them well, at least it was much more convenient than waiting for the new ships in the shipyard to leave the factory. Quanzhou military port is also much better than imagined, at least it has maintained the original state of the Situ Yuan period, it is said that there are still many Milan Navy ships often in and out of this military port, but now there is no one to see, it should be in the west after taking over the rule of Jiangnan, Milanese people will disappear in interest.

Huludao Military Port is not too far from Quanzhou Military Port, from Quanzhou Military Port to the southeast, one day sea journey can reach Huludao Military Port, here belongs to an important island in the Northern Pearl Islands, is the Tang River Empire in the heyday of the long-term lease from the then ally Milan Kingdom, because the relationship between the two countries was in the best honeymoon period in history, so when signing the Lend-Lease Treaty, the conditions in all aspects were very relaxed, in addition to the Huludao Island, there are two small islands next to it together leased to the Tang River Empire, and there is no indication in the treaty when the lease expires, only indicated by the two countries to negotiate and decide。 During the last trip of the diplomatic department, the Milanese put forward the idea of recovering the Huludao military port, but did not win the approval of the western Xinjiang, which preferred to use the sovereignty issue on the Marvin Islands to attract the interest and attention of the three countries, which was indeed successful at that time, but with the irreversible trend of the unified empire in the western Xinjiang, it is difficult to estimate whether the Milanese would have any other ideas.

The situation of Huludao Military Port is better than that of Quanzhou Military Port, almost maintaining the situation when the naval army was stationed in the imperial era, there are also five or six small and medium-sized ships here, the condition is still unsatisfactory, plus the ground staff of the base, there are still hundreds of people, but this person looks too deserted in a huge Huludao Military Port, Ling Tianfang carefully looked at the facilities in Huludao Military Port, the dock of the two repair ships still looks quite perfect, and the dock is also very tidy, although the two medium-sized warships and four small warships look a little old, but they are very spiritualThe sailors and sailors lined up in a neat formation on the wharf to greet the arriving officials of Western Xinjiang, and the Shuanglong Zhuzhu flag on the flagpole had already been removed and replaced with a Jinpeng flag, and the whistling sea breeze blew the flag to hunt.

"Huh?" Although Ling Tianfang's spirit was more focused on the facilities of the military port and the state of the naval soldiers, he still clearly heard the shocked voice of the Lei Cangpu next to him.

Lei Cangpu only felt the rendezvous of Quanzhou and Ling Tianfang from the South China Sea, as the commander of the navy, the burden on his shoulders was also added again and again, from the original commander of the naval army to the commander of the navy in the South China Sea, this time he was suddenly pressed on the heavy task of rebuilding the Great Oriental Navy, Rao is Lei Cangpu is energetic and felt a little unbearable, and several of his powerful subordinates brought out from the Changfeng Club were scattered to various departments to carry the beams, but it is not so simple to form a navy, in addition to a large number of hardware foundations, more importantly, a large number of officers who are familiar with the navy and understand the navy are needed to take on the heavy responsibility, but there are too few people like themselves in the Changfeng Association who are well-educated and proficient in ship skills, and who have a certain level of management, and they can't find a few suitable candidates after careful screening, if these guys command the ship and fight in naval warfare, there may be no problem, but it is too difficult for them to let them take on the task of building a new navy with themselves.

His Royal Highness King Qin's urgent order made him rush from the South China Sea to the south of the Yangtze River, and ordered him to take on the important task of forming the Great Oriental Navy in a short period of time, which simply made Lei Cangpu crazy, that is, the Great Nanyang Navy has overstretched him, and now there is a need to rebuild a poor and white Great Oriental Navy, isn't this deliberately making things difficult?
