    The maid named Tingmei couldn't help but feel chills in her heart when she thought of the rumors among the servants of the Lin Mansion about Master Lin Yizhe having "soul-popping skills".  When I first came to the Lin Mansion, I listened privately to other servants about the rumors about the master's interrogation of prisoners. The servants often said that if the master used the ability to conjure souls, he could get any kind of beautiful woman, but the master didn't bother to do that.  Do.  After she heard about it, she didn¡¯t believe it in her heart, but today, after seeing Lin Yizhe, she did believe it.  Since arriving at the Lin Mansion, they have always felt the invisible majesty of Chen Wan, and have an instinctive awe for this lady.  Chen Wan always gave them the impression of being dignified and virtuous, and seemed to be a little cold, but she never expected that after meeting this young master, Chen Wan would show off another side like a volcano erupting.  What a look.  The contrast was truly unimaginable to her.  And there seems to be no better explanation for Madam¡¯s change other than the terrifying ¡°soul-taking technique¡±.  Because Chen Wan has always been very kind to them, now she is hesitant in her heart whether to tell Chen Wan what Mrs. Liu told them!  Because if one day, the master uses the "soul-taking technique" to see through, they may die without a burial place!  Just when Tingmei was worried, the three sisters who came with her were tossing and turning on their own beds, thinking about the same thing.  Because of the lingering passion after a long separation, Lin Yizhe felt extremely relaxed.  So this sleep was particularly sweet.  When he woke up the next day, he went to visit Guo Songtao and others early.  He helped Guo Songtao arrange all the preparations for his mission. Soon after he arranged to take the British passenger ship "Cadenia", Lin Yizhe sent Guo Songtao and others on board. After everything was arranged, Lin Yizhe held a banquet for Guo Songtao.  In the afternoon, the "Kadaniya" set sail and sailed out of the sea.  After seeing off Guo Songtao.  Lin Yizhe first went to the Shipping Administration Office to learn about the work progress of the Shipping Administration Bureau in recent times.  Titiao Xia Xianlun and Wu Zhongxiang came to greet him. They first congratulated Lin Yizhe, and then explained to Lin Yizhe the current situation of the Shipping Bureau.  After the recovery of Ryukyu, Lin Yizhe reported to the court, explaining in detail the situation of recovering Ryukyu and the important strategic significance of Ryukyu Naha Port "Wangokujinryang", and suggested that troops be stationed in Ryukyu.  He also used Ryukyu as China's commercial port to increase China's economic income. After the discount, Prince Gong and other important officials in the court were deeply convinced, so the court agreed to station troops and horses in Ryukyu permanently, and Li Hongzhang further pointed out.  "Ryukyu is isolated overseas, far away from China and close to Japan. If we want to hold on to it, we must have new weapons and ships."  It is recommended that "one or two warships be permanently stationed in Ryukyu to provide support."  The imperial court agreed to Li Hongzhang's request.  He also believed that "there are currently too few available warships, and all seaports in the Northern and Southern Oceans need to be stationed separately. The ship administration is ordered to quickly build two more armored patrol ships to replace the reincarnation defense of the troops in Ryukyu."  After the completion of the two ships "Fujing" and "Jianjing", the shipbuilding bureau's shipbuilding funds were basically exhausted. In order to ensure the construction and development of the navy, the imperial court not only restored the shipyard's monthly operating expenses of 50,000 taels, but also ordered  Continue to build warships "to prepare for emergencies", and said that "the Ministry of Household Affairs has funds to allocate." With the financial support of the imperial court, the shipping administration began the construction of new ships.  The two newly built warships have determined their mission from the beginning of their construction-overseas garrison.  After defeating Japan, Lin Yizhe, who was still wary of Japan's wolf ambitions, gave the two warships two powerful names when he was in Beijing: "Yuan Kai" and "Deng Yingzhou".  "Yuankai" and "Dengyingzhou" are improved models of the "Weiyuan" class. In addition to adding a 75mm armor belt, the artillery has also undergone major changes. The two original powerful 190mm main guns have been removed.  , all were changed to eight 140mm breech-loaded cannons, one at each end and three at each side. In addition, the number of machine guns was also increased. The ship was equipped with a total of five 40mm Hotchkiss machines.  There are 8 guns and 8 single-barreled 40mm machine guns each, and 6 Lin machine guns.  From the day when the first keels of "Yuan Kai" and "Deng Yingzhou" were laid on the slipway, it means the birth of China's first-class foreign warships in the future.  Lin Yizhe then went to the shipyard with Xia Xianlun and Wu Zhongxiang to check the construction status of "Yuan Kai" and "Deng Yingzhou". Looking at the two warships that had begun to take shape on the slipway, it was estimated that they would be launched within a year. Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel  I am surprised that the skills of Chinese shipbuilding technicians are no longer what they used to be.  After inspecting the shipyard, Lin Yizhe went to the Shipbuilding Gun and Gun Station for a visit.  After returning to the government office, several students studying ship design with Da Shibo, the chief engineer of the shipbuilding industry, learned that Lin Yizhe was back, and they all swarmed into his house.  Seeing these young men, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel a sense of kindness in his heart, as if he was back in college.?? ? Although Lin Yizhe is a history enthusiast, especially knowledgeable about the history of world navies and ships, and also knows a lot about ship design, after all, he is not a professional, so many times he has to ask the shipmaster  Engineer Da Shibo asked for advice. In order to learn more about shipbuilding in this era, Lin Yizhe often hung out with students from the Shipbuilding School.  The students were also happy to discuss and research with this unassuming superior officer, and even enjoyed it endlessly.  This time, he had been away from Fuzhou for too long, and the students missed him very much. So when they heard that he was back, they all rushed over immediately.  "Come! Let's eat." Lin Yizhe smiled and took the snack plate brought by the servant, and handed it to the students around him.  "Go and make a pot of coffeewait a minute." Lin Yizhe looked at the students again, "Would you like to drink something else?" "Thank you, teacher, coffee will be fine." The students took the plates and took a piece of them.  The snacks were stuffed into his mouth - Lin Yizhe was about the same age as them, and he had no airs, so the students had no taboos in their words and deeds. They didn't even call him adults, they just called him teacher.  "Is this Wu Huanqi?" Lin Yizhe looked at Wang Qiaonian who was sitting next to him - there were nearly 40 students in the second class of driving and engineering at the Naval Academy. The one he was most optimistic about was Wang Qiaonian - smart, capable, enthusiastic, and the most rare one.  , is a persistence that he possesses that is rarely seen in young people in his original time and space.  Relatively speaking, he paid much less attention to Wu Dezhang, who had always been inseparable from Wang Qionian.  "It's the student." Wu Dezhang immediately stood up and bowed to Lin Yizhe, "Student Wu Dezhang greets the teacher." "Sit down, sit down, teachers and students, no need to be polite?" Lin Yizhe reached out and pulled Wu Dezhang back to the sofa,  Said with a smile.  "By the way, teacher." Wang Qiaonian on the side had already swallowed a piece of snack. "Teacher, didn't you design a new warship this time?"  Call it a day." Lin Yizhe smiled and waved to his servant to bring him the model of the new armored cruiser that he had asked craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make when he was in the capital.  When he was in Beijing, what Lin Yizhe thought about most in his spare time was the upcoming construction of new ships.  Although he was familiar with the shipbuilding history of this era, it was still quite difficult for Lin Yizhe to design a new warship completely independently, so he simply took a shortcut - selecting the current warships from some foreign warships he was familiar with.  If it is more suitable for China, bring it directly.  "Is this the new armored clipper designed by the teacher?" When he saw the servant placing a shiny copper and wood ship model on the table, Lin Yizhe was a little surprised. The first person to speak was the one who had been sitting quietly.  Wu Dezhang on the side.  "Teacher, you are really awesome. This new type of armored clipper has more balanced firepower than the Weiyuan." Wang Qionian almost "lyed" on the cruiser that Lin Yizhe had just assembled last night and named it "Kaiji"  On the model, for fear of missing any details.  When Lin Yizhe heard Wang Qiaonian's words of praise, he couldn't help but secretly screamed "Ashamed" in his heart.  The "Kaiji" class armored cruiser he designed is actually basically a copy of the French "Dujutoulouin" class cruiser, with some of his own designs added.  Among the French cruisers of the same period, the "Dujutouin" class cruiser is not particularly outstanding in size, but its armament is really outstanding.  It is equipped with a total of 4 turrets at the bow and stern. The main guns no longer use shipside columns or gantry installation methods, but are mainly installed in the turrets. Such an arrangement is only used in the current French Navy.  It can only be seen on armored ships.  The four 190mm 1870 Ghana guns used as the main guns are installed in the four turrets, and another unique one is installed on the deck of the forecastle.  In order to avoid the ship's bow mast, the artillery was also equipped with a high base, so that when the ship's bow is facing the enemy, it can obtain the firepower of three main guns at the same time.  Compared with its British neighbor, the style of French designers is bold and avant-garde.  The secondary guns of the "Dugu Toluin" class cruiser are five 1870-type 140mm Ghana guns, four of which are installed on the sides between the front and rear transoms, and the remaining one is installed on the poop deck.  In addition, it also has two 14-inch torpedo launch tubes, and a majestic French-style big nose ram head that is nearly 7 meters long.  "May I ask the teacher, is this ship not specially designed for column warfare?" Wu Dezhang asked.  "You are right," Lin Yizhe nodded approvingly, "If you are fighting in a horizontal formation or a small team, the bow of the ship is facing the enemy, and the forward firepower is designed for this." "The teacher must have been affected by the Battle of Olissa  "I was inspired by this idea," Wang Qiaonian stood up and said, looking at Lin Yizhe with admiration in his eyes.
