    ??******

    The navy¡¯s spring is here, but its money bag is ruined.

    Hangel made so much money that he almost bought the United States a battleship and a half.  Sa Zhenbing smiled as the navy finally had its assets, adding hundreds of thousands of tons at a time.  Yang Qiu smiled more cunningly. The introduction of Babcock and Wilcox boilers could help him break through the technical limitations of scarce materials in data machines.  To be honest, materials and workmanship are his biggest headaches, but now that American technicians are personally leading the team, it only takes a few years of practice to make a breakthrough.  Because GE Company is basically begging for food from a golden bowl. As long as it has a few years to hone its technology and hone its craftsmanship, the reduction gear technology that requires decompression due to the impulsive steam turbine rotor being too fast can be completely obtained from the data machine. Ten years later, early  It is not a fantasy to come up with stronger, lighter and more fuel-efficient core power technologies in the United States.

    Only Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly. Large warships are not as simple as buying them back. Training and maintenance cost a lot, and the naval base must also be renovated and expanded accordingly.  For example, if Lushun does not dig a deep channel, it will have to wait for high tide to enter or exit 10,000-ton ships.  To make matters worse, there is a lack of fuel in the country, and high-quality anthracite coal such as Welsh white coal is even scarcer. Even if a mixed-fired boiler is used, a lot of expensive white coal and fuel oil must be stored.

    But this problem is nothing to Yang Qiu. It is still possible to support several giant ships with explosive financial income.  As for fuel, the Yumen Oilfield project survey is about to start, and foreign oil fields may not be able to obtain it.  It is easier to burn coal. Jincheng, Shanxi Province has the second largest anthracite white coal reserve in Asia. If it fails, we can develop Ordos when the Baotou Railway is repaired. The world's top anthracite coal resource of tens of billions of tons is comparable to Welsh white coal. It can be used no matter how you use it.  enough.

    Since the four Anhai-class ships worth tens of millions have been ordered, Yang Qiu simply came up with the plan that he had prepared long ago.  At present, two suitable transport ships have been selected in China to be converted into simple aircraft carriers. Anyway, everyone is studying this thing, and there is no problem of leaking the equipment. It is said that seaplane carriers are used for training and reserve talents.  The 16 Standard 1900 large destroyers project that has already started construction and has been designated as the "Changfeng Class" must also be accelerated. In addition to submarines and torpedo boats, he also produced two drawings of the Dutch light cruiser De Trouid and the British Southampton light cruiser.  Leave it to Jiangnan Factory for research.  It is planned to start building a light cruiser in due course.

    Yang Qiu is not a miser like Japan. He strictly ordered the Navy to completely eliminate 9 cruisers Qingdao, Haichio, Hairong, Haiqi, Haichen, Zhaohe, Yingrui, Feihong, and the repaired Tsukuba before the end of 2015.  10 Chuzi-class and Jiangzi-class gunboats Chuyu, Chutai, Chuguan, Chuqian, Chutong, Chuyou, Jiangyuan, Jiangheng, Jiangli, Jiangzhen and 7 self-built destroyers Yongjian and Yongji Jiangnan  A 1,000-ton destroyer.  All ships except Yuzhang, Jiankang, Tongan, Jingbo, and Longtuan, and five Canadian 20,000-ton oil and water ships were selected from the German fleet and were also sold to the navy for transportation, reconnaissance, and  Hydrographic survey, communication and other auxiliary ships remain 8 in good condition.

    According to the plan.  By 2020, the Republic of China Navy will have 2 simple aircraft carriers, 4 Anhai-class large cruisers, 9 protected cruisers, 23 destroyers, 10 gunboats, 24 submarines, 40 torpedo boats, 8 auxiliary ships, and 6 transport ships  and 80 aircraft of various types.

    Amidst the rumbling New Year's firecrackers, Yang Qiu, Sa Zhenbing and Tang Shaoyi tentatively finalized the "Republic of China 1920 Navy Expansion Plan" on the train back to Nanjing. However, this plan is still a draft because there is a factor that cannot be ignored.  important issues.  Will Yang Qiu come to power in the March general election, or will Li Yuanhong continue to serve as president?

    Too many things have happened in the past year, especially the news of victory in the war, which made the 2015 Spring Festival even more lively.

    The crackling sound of firecrackers came from outside the narrow coffin-like window. The light of a kerosene lamp flickered on the table. Under the lamp, Yang Shiqi was holding a book and frowning while reading.  Through the faint light, you can see the big words "Treatise on State and Society" on the cover.  On the carved wooden bed not far away, a "hill" was raised under the thick quilt, and the faint breathing in the hill was intermittent.

    The whole country is celebrating the New Year.  The longevity garden in Huanshang Village, Zhangde, Henan is as quiet as a haunted house.  The servants dispersed, and even those who stayed had their heads lowered and their faces full of dejection.  The utility room next door was already filled with funeral supplies such as white paper figures. Ever since Yuan Shikai became paralyzed, the Yuan Mansion, which once dominated the world, was prepared to lose its owner.

    People can best experience warmth and coldness at this time.  Except for Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang, a few elderly people from Beiyang who send people to visit from time to time, there have been almost no guests in the Yangshou Garden for more than a year.  Even the aunts and wives of several families have packed their things and returned to their parents' homes. Yuan Keding and other children have also chosen prosperous Beijing and other places to settle their affairs, or simply traveled overseas. Only Yang Shiqi has been here with him, waiting on him in undressed clothes. Even Yang Qiu personally wrote a letter to invite him.  He didn't even agree to go out.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    SuddenlyThe hill on the bed began to squirm, and Yang Shiqi quickly put down his book and went over. He didn't know if he was disturbed by the sound of firecrackers, but Yuan Shikai, who had closed his eyes for several days and nights, slowly opened his eyes.

    "Gongbao? Gongbao"

    Yang Shiqi shouted carefully. Since Yuan Shikai was extremely unconscious after being paralyzed, he had to do this several times or even dozens of times every time he woke up.  However, after shouting twice this time, he actually slowly turned his face.  Judging from the light, this heroic figure who used the revolution to reach the highest peak of his political career in the late Qing Dynasty for decades has become extremely thin.

    The eye sockets are sunken, and only the bones are left in the cheeks. The body is severely swollen, especially the belly, which seems to be ten months pregnant.  Even people who don't understand medical skills can know that his life is not long after seeing this picture. The reason why he can survive to this day is due to Yang Shiqi's careful care.  After a while, the slightly blackened finger moved slightly, and the corners of his lips wriggled as he struggled to say something vague about asking for water.  Yang Shiqi quickly brought the tea and tasted the temperature with his own mouth before slowly pouring it down his throat.  This action made Yuan Shikai's dull and dull old eyes filled with mist, but he was unable to say a word.

    After taking a few sips of warm water, Yuan Shikai's energy seemed to improve a lot. There was a little blush on his cheeks. Although his voice was still weak, he could finally hear clearly: "Xingcheng, I'm sorryyou're sorry."  .¡±

    Hearing his clear voice today, Yang Shiqi's eyes immediately turned red and tears streamed down his face. He wiped it with his sleeves while choking: "It's not bitter, it's not bitter. As long as Gong Bao can be cured, it's worth risking Shi Qi's life."

    Yuan Shikai moved his lips, and an inaudible sigh echoed in the room. After a while, he coughed several times and scared Yang Shiqi to beat his chest, but he stopped him and said: "Xingcheng, it's so busy outside for the Chinese New Year."  Are you ready? Can you tell me what happened during this period?"

    Having been paralyzed for such a long time, Yuan Shikai never asked about outside matters even when he was awake. Now he suddenly asked and his face became redder and redder. Yang Shiqi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he understood that this person's deadline might be today.  Since he wanted to listen to it, it was considered his last wish, so he quickly explained in detail what had happened over the past year.

    ??From Beiyang being disbanded and incorporated, to Li Chun and others retiring one after another, to the little emperor being kidnapped outside Xihua Gate.  War between China and Japan, the Great War in Europe until the victory at Tsingtao, the Japanese withdrawal and the recent Sino-British Treaty.  Yang Shiqi twitched and poured out every word.  Yuan Shikai listened silently. When he heard that the European war was over, Qingdao was victorious and Japan completely withdrew from the mainland, and the navy returned to Lushun and erected the Yongzhen Mountain and River Monument, his old face like a dead tree couldn't help feeling a little hot flash.

    In a daze, from his first acquaintance with officialdom to his monopolization of North Korea, scenes passed before his eyes like a movie version, including the rise of North Korea, the disastrous defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1891, military training at a small station, the betrayal of the Six Gentlemen, the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion, resignation from office to avoid disaster, and the betrayal of the Qing Dynasty.  etc.  Life is complicated and officialdom is more changeable than this, and the two betrayals made the corners of his lips twitch at this moment. He looked at the ceiling with a faint gaze, and he didn't know how many thoughts were flowing through his heart at this moment.

    "Yang Qiu, courtesy name Chenhua has had a good year." In the end, all the helplessness turned into a deep sigh.

    Even Yang Shiqi nodded in agreement with these words. Yang Qiu is indeed living in a good era.  By taking advantage of the Wuchang incident to establish a decisive position, he turned his hand to drive away the Kuomintang's domination of Hubei, and then captured Sichuan and Hunan while everyone's attention was on the war between the two armies.  Wu Shengguan planned to ambush Feng Guozhang, and boldly withdrew the frontline troops to attack Xiaocang Mountain. From then on, the world was divided into three parts.

    The next step is to suppress the Democratic Party, monopolize the south, and unify the country with the help of Germany and the United States.  The war between China and Japan was risky and dangerous, but the European foreigners no longer cared about China when the war started. In the end, they pressured Japan to agree to the conditions.

    I am afraid that no one in the world can match my good luck.

    "Xingcheng" Several sighs sounded from the bedside: "I can't make it, today is my deadline. But I'm sorry for you, I couldn't leave you a way out. I shouldn't let Hua Fu  He stopped. At that time, the troops in Xiaocangshan were not in his possession and he could have captured Hankou and Hanyang, but I calculated my whole life and was defeated in my own hands"

    Yang Shiqi originally wanted to persuade him to rest, but he knew that he was explaining the funeral affairs, and he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth. He listened carefully for fear of missing anything.  Yuan Shikai's voice became lower and lower: "After I leave, you should sell all these belongings. Let those unfilial sons go. Each daughter will have a share as a souvenir, and you should also take a share  Nanjing. Although Yang Qiu is unkind and ungrateful, he is not as dedicated to the country as I am. Please go and say something. The world can be chaotic and orderly, but if you want stability, you need to be cautious and patient. Tell him that age is  Even with the maximum capital, some people can survive. Tell him again, I, Yuan Xiangcheng, am the only North Korean and Russian in my life I don't believe it the most!"

    He said these words urgently and quickly, for fear that he would stop there.  When the last word popped out, he grabbed the bed with his hands like chicken claws.Along the side, his body trembled so much that the quilt was stirred up, and he shouted in pain: "Your Majesty! Xiang Cheng shouldn't be doing this!"

    Yang Shiqi, who had not yet rushed to the bedside, was shocked when he heard this and slowly fell to his knees.

    In 1915, on the 30th night of the Lunar New Year, the great hero Yuan Shikai died of illness at home.

    An era is completely over!.
