Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the Ningbo people bought the Baoshun ship in Guangdong, they recruited more than 70 sailors from Guangdong and Fujian.  These people are called "effective sailors" and even "dead soldiers".  Deli, on the one hand, means that they are well versed in water properties, and more importantly, their role in suppressing pirates; while "death warriors" means that they are brave enough to fight without risking their lives.  These sailors are no longer sailors in the ordinary sense, but have become sailors.  In the subsequent battle, they even went ashore to pursue and eliminate the pirates. They were simply an early marine force.  The weapons they are equipped with are muskets.  Bei Jinquan still remembers that he was in charge of the gun rudder of the "Baoshun" at that time.  Ningbo government listed the "Baoshun" ship in the register and also issued the "Baoshun" ship a license to go to sea. The pirates did not know that the Ningbo merchants already had sharp weapons, and they were still rampant at sea.  In the next year, 1855, more than thirty pirate ships from Guangdong plundered wantonly on the waters of Fujian and Zhejiang, and then fled to Beiyang to join other pirates.  The ships carrying grain were blocked.  In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the "Baoshun" ship went overseas. On July 7, it bombarded pirate ships in Fuzhou Ocean, sinking five and destroying ten.  On the 14th, four ships were sunk, one was captured, and six were burned in Huangxianyang and Penglaiyang, Shandong.  The remaining pirates fled ashore, and Chuan Yong pursued them vigorously, killing more than 40 pirates and capturing more than 30 people.  On the 18th, one ship was sunk in Shidaoyang, Shandong, and more than 300 hijacked ships from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were rescued.  In just eleven days, the "Baoshun" ship wiped out all the pirates in Beiyang and sailed back to Shanghai.  On the 29th, the "Baoshun" ship cruised Ningbo Shipuyang. Twenty-three pirate ships were parked in the port. The "Baoshun" ship led the Shui Yong ship to enter the port to attack. From five o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, twenty-three pirate ships  No one survived.  The remaining pirates fled ashore, but Chuan Yong pursued and killed more than 300 of them.  On September 13th, four pirate ships were sunk in Cengangyang, eight pirate ships were sunk in Liegangyang on September 14th, and two pirate ships were sunk in Shipuyang on September 18th.  On October 18, four more pirate ships were sunk in Liegangyang.  Nanyang was also completely cleared.  In just three or four months, the "Baoshun" sank and captured 68 pirate ships.  More than 2,000 pirates were captured alive, killed and drowned. The name of the "Baoshun" ship shocked the world.  Seeing the great power of steamships, Shanghai merchants also bought one the next year, named it "Tianping", and made an appointment with Ningbo to use one to patrol the Northern Ocean.  One patrols the Zhejiang Sea, so the traces of pirates are even rarer.  Soon, Beiyang was filled with foreign ships, and the Second Opium War broke out.  The eighth year of Xianfeng's reign, that is, 1858.  The British and French forces captured Dagukou and invaded Tianjin.  Xianfeng sent academician Guiliang and Shangshu Huashana to Tianjin to discuss peace, and signed the "Tianjin Treaty" with Russia, the United States, Britain and France respectively. Trade was also allowed in Beiyang, and a large number of foreign ships sailed in, which further reduced piracy.  .  When the "Baoshun" ship appeared, He Guiqing, then governor of Zhejiang Province, once said privately: "Boats and ships cannot win without steam ships."  But at that time, the government and the public had not yet realized the urgency of possessing Western technology. The powerful ships and guns of the British and French forces made many people wake up to one point: we also need such ships.  In March 1861, Zeng Guofan once again emphasized that purchasing foreign ship guns was "the first priority to save the times today."  He pointed out that "the speed of ships and the distance of foreign cannons are praised as unique in England, but rarely seen in China", and then advocated that we should "visit widely to recruit people who are thoughtful and clever craftsmen. Start by performing them, and then try them."  It will only take a year or two for the steamship to be built, and it will be used by Chinese and foreign officials and people to suppress rebellion and maintain long-term strategy." In 1862, Zeng Guofan purchased a steamship.  Named "Weilin Mi"; the following year Li Hongzhang also purchased two ships, "Tang Sheng" and "Fei Er Fu Lai".  In 1867, the Qing government finally promulgated the "Regulations on Chinese Merchants Purchasing Foreign Steamships, Plywood and Other Ships", allowing Chinese merchants to purchase foreign-style ships within the scope of the regulations. This was already thirteen years later than the Baoshun Ship!  Thinking of the past.  Bei Jinquan was very excited.  After the establishment of the Fujian Shipping Administration Bureau, Bei Jinquan was recruited together with Zhang Sigui, the then ship supervisor.  Because of their achievements on the "Baoshun" wheel, Shen Baozhen recruited them beside him.  Later, Zhang Sigui was recommended by Shen Baozhen to join the Prime Minister's International Affairs Office because he was well versed in foreign affairs, and he served as deputy envoy to Japan.  Bei Jinquan served as the steward of the ship "Hua Fubao" purchased by the Fujian Shipping Bureau from foreign merchants at the beginning.  Now, although Bei Jinquan has become well-known throughout the country for his role in exterminating Japanese pirates in Taiwan and has become the commander of the shipbuilding navy (the shipbuilding navy does not yet have an admiral due to its rank), there is no need for him to personally command the ships.  , but in his heart, he still missed those magnificent days deeply!  The Chinese fleet soon sailed into the harbor. The foreign warships parked in the harbor immediately fired salutes, and the Chinese fleet fired salutes in return. For a while, the harbor was filled with flags and gunfire, and it was very lively.  Seeing that the old comrade-in-arms Deng Shichang was standing on the flying bridge of the shipyard's flagship "Fu Jing", Bei Jinquan seemed to understand something, and a smile appeared on his lips.  And on the flybridge of the Beiyang Navy's flagship "Long Xiang", in addition to Liu Buchan, the leader, Bei Jinquan saw another stranger.    This man is not wearing a sapphire blue Chinese navy uniform, but is wearing a black cloak and an official hat. He is about the same age as himself. He looks quite loyal and kind, but he is standing on the flying bridge.  But he showed a majestic aura.  "Sir, His Highness King Shangtai has sent an official to invite you. The ceremony is about to begin." Bei Jinquan was wondering who the visitor was when a personal attendant came to report.  Bei Jinquan nodded and got off the fort with his subordinate officers.  Not long after, the renaming ceremony officially began. Amidst the thunderous sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, in the Ryukyu Palace in Shuri Castle, a gold plaque with the words "Shuli Tianmen" written by the Empress Dowager Ci'an and the words "Shuli Tianmen" written by the Empress Dowager Cixi were hung.  The gold plaque reads "Thank you forever". Ryukyu King Sh¨­tai led his civil and military ministers to burn incense and worship. Then he took the gold-plated silver seal of "Ryukyu King" from the hand of the canonized angel, placed it in front of the ancestral temple, and then asked the angel to move to the port and lead the  All the ministers and people listened to the angel's announcement.  When the angel unfolded the imperial edict, Ryukyu King Shotai led his ministers to shout long live the mountain and kowtow to the ground.  At this moment, the earth became quiet, and people were seen kneeling down and prostrating themselves on the ground.  Like a saluting wave, it spreads around.  Seeing this extremely spectacular scene, the foreigners present were all in awe. They would not kneel down like the Ryukyu monarchs and the Chinese people in Ryukyu, but they all bowed ninety degrees to show their respect.  At this time, we were in a nest of a hill.  Several men in Japanese uniforms stood behind a large stone and kept looking around without kneeling down.  These people¡¯s eyes only wandered over the Chinese captains who were attending the ceremony.  "Who is the man standing next to Liu Buchan? I have never seen him before." "His name is Ding Ruchang, a native of Lujiang, Anhui. He is now the new commander of the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet." "He does not seem to have a naval background. How could he get like this?  "An important official position?" "I heard that he was a fellow countryman of Li Hongzhang and had served in the Inland Navy before. For this reason, he was recommended by Li Hongzhang to be the commander of the Beiyang Fleet." "It is strange that the Qing navy did not train him.  With so many talents, why should a guy who has only served in the river navy serve as the supreme commander of a naval fleet? " "Most of the officers in the Qing Navy were from Fujian. Li Hongzhang probably didn't want people from other provinces to get involved with him.  Fleet, that¡¯s why we made arrangements like this.¡± ¡°The Qing Dynasty is still the same as before. Even if it has new warships, it still uses the same old methods to manage these warships. This kind of fleet is just a dull knife.  " Dongxiang Heihachiro, who was disguised as a Japanese businessman, gave Ding Ruchang a cold look and led a few people down the hillside.  YKLL£º?#£¤¡­%¡ª())¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª)*¡ª¡­£¤??¡­¡­*¡ª(¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª+¡ª¡ª)(*¡ª¡­£¤#JKDCKL£º£º£º¡°HDECVBBNNML  %%£¤ After the Ningbo people bought the Baoshun ship in Guangdong, they recruited more than 70 sailors from Guangdong and Fujian. These people were called "deadly sailors" and even "deadly soldiers".  On the one hand, it is said that they are familiar with the water, and it is also said that they are useful in suppressing pirates; on the other hand, "dead soldiers" means that they are brave enough to fight without risking their lives. These sailors are no longer sailors in the ordinary sense.  In the subsequent battle, they went ashore to pursue and destroy the pirates. The weapons they were equipped with were muskets.

In just eleven days,  The "Baoshun" ship cleared all the pirates in Beiyang and sailed back to Shanghai on the 29th. On the 29th, the "Baoshun" ship cruised Ningbo Shipu Yang. Twenty-three pirate ships were anchored in the port, and the "Baoshun" ship led the Shui Yong ship in.  From 5 a.m. to 3 p.m., none of the 23 pirate ships survived. The remaining pirates fled ashore, and the ships pursued and killed more than 300 people. On September 13, four pirate ships were sunk in Cen Gang Yang.  On the 14th, eight pirate ships were sunk in Liegang Yang. On the 18th, two pirate ships were sunk in Shipu Yang. On October 18, another pirate ship was sunk in Liegang Yang.Four pirate ships.  Nanyang was also completely cleared.  In just three or four months, the "Bao Shun" ship sank or captured 68 pirate ships, captured or killed more than 2,000 pirates and drowned them. The name of the "Bao Shun" ship shocked the world.  .  Seeing the great power of steamships, Shanghai merchants also bought one the next year, named it "Tianping", and made an appointment with Ningbo to have one patrol the Northern Ocean and one patrol the Zhejiang Sea.
