If history does not repeat itself, it will be necessary to defeat this French fleet, which is now the second largest in the world. However, Guan Xuqing only had one Nanyang Navy, and the Beiyang Navy had not yet been formed. The Nanyang Navy's mission is quite arduous, and it must guard the 18,000-mile coastline of the southeast coast. It reaches the Dagu Port in Tianjin in the north and the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau in the south. Now the Mawei Army Port has been severely damaged, and the Qing shipbuilding industry has retreated for at least ten years. If something happens to the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau in the Yangtze River, then the Qing shipbuilding industry will be completely collapsed.

Guan Xuqing thought about it and suddenly saw his hometown in his previous life - Shanghai. At that time, the warship port of the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau, but a bold plan that even called a gamble gradually formed in his mind...

The next morning, Taiwan reported a good news. A great victory in Shanghai-wei Port! Sun Kaihua led his troops to repel the landing French army, annihilated 1,037 enemies, and captured 1,321 people. The French ship had no choice but to leave the Taiwan Strait and was missing.

In the morning court, Guan Xuqing asked the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony: "According to the Taiwan War Report, the French ship has left the Taiwan Strait. Dear friends, tell me. Where will this terrifying fleet harass me on the coast of the Qing Dynasty?"

Prince Chun felt very distressed when he saw his son's physical and mental health in the Sino-French battle. But as he became more mature, he smiled with relief when he was the emperor.

Guan Xuqing saw it and suddenly asked, "Prince Chun, tell me. What should we do?"

Prince Chun knelt down on the ground and said, "I think the French will go north and directly attack the Dagu port in Tianjin. Following the example of this, he landed in the direct palace from Tianjin 20 years ago."

As soon as this statement was heard, there was another uproar. The ministers whispered, and many people had gone through the Second Opium War. The scene was still vivid in my mind, and after Prince Chun said it, I felt that it was very possible.

Prince Chun continued: "As far as I know, the French army traveled thousands of miles away. The labor force mobilized many troops and wanted to fight quickly. But now, the Vietnam war is in a stalemate. The French army wants to occupy Taiwan and become its strategic base in the Far East. It can bombard Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi in the south; it can harass our generation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and threaten our Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau. But now Taiwan is as solid as a rock, foreigners will definitely hope to take the capital."

"What Prince Yichun saw? I can't let me retreat to Rehe like the late emperor!" Guan Xuqing said with a frown.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, you can immediately transfer the Nanyang Navy to gather at Tianjin Port. The French fleet will definitely come, and the Tianjin Dagukou Fortress cooperates with the Nanyang Navy. Tianjin can ensure that Tianjin is worry-free! Then let Dong Liang go from Dalian, Shengjing, Shandong, and Zhili to speed up the fourth tier of the speed-adjusting team to guard the capital. This will ensure that everything is safe." Prince Chun talked happily.

"Your Mawei Army Port is not possible! Now that the Mawei Army Port has fallen, the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau is the only shipbuilding base in the Qing Dynasty. If all the Nanyang Navy is transferred to Tianjin, what should the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau do? The Qing Dynasty, Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation has always been the granary and silver treasury of the Qing Dynasty. Now it is also the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty. If the French army did not go north, but attacked the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation, then what should we do?" Weng Tongxiu said anxiously.

Guan Xuqing looked at Weng Tongxiu without saying a word. He swept to Li Hongzhang and continued to ask, "Li Hongzhang, what do you think?"

Li Hongzhang quickly left the line and said in a trembling voice: "Returning to the emperor, I think what Lord Weng said is purely an imagination and no evidence. Prince Chun is an old minister who plans the country and has a lesson in the past. I believe that it is appropriate to transfer the Nanyang Navy back to Tianjin."

Guan Xuqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since Li Aiqing said so too. Let's plan to let all the Nanyang Navy return to Tianjin."

"Zhe!" Li Hongzhang and Prince Chun knelt down and replied.

Weng Tongxiu looked at the emperor he taught, and his disappointment was beyond words! Is this the wise and wise emperor he had before? Is it blood thicker than water? At the critical moment, he should listen to his father. At the end of the day, he should pay attention to his own interests and put the people and the country of the Qing Dynasty behind his mind.

The commander of the French Far East Navy, Toure, stood on the deck, looking at the sky in the distance. Thinking about something in the sea breeze, suddenly a soldier ran over: "Report to Lord Toure, the cruiser Lisa returns. All the more than 20 gunboats of the Qing Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet, all the cruisers were pulled out of the port, and their whereabouts were unknown."

Toure was stunned for a moment and didn't recover for a long time. "What? Leaving? Where did they go? Did they give up their only shipbuilding factory? Give up the industrial city they just developed?"

"According to Lisa's report, it may have gone north. They were afraid that we would sneak attacks their capital and might go back to defend the capital."

"Hahaha, stupid Qing people, timid Qing people. Our army is in a tough battle in Vietnam. Where can the army attack their capital? It's such a god-given goodbye. After they stay away from here, we will destroy their remaining shipyard." Toure said happily.

The Nanyang Navy is much stronger than the Fujian Navy. In addition to the "Super Yong" and "Yang Wei" ordered from the UK, there are also two behemoths originally ordered by Türkiye.

In addition, there are three brand new warships, namely the "Nanji" and "Nanxiang" customized by the Nanyang Navy at the German Hamburg Shipyard at the beginning of the year, and the "Nanfeng" cruisers produced by the Mawei Shipyard at the beginning of the year.

The British and German shipbuilding concepts are quite different. The Germans pay more attention to the armor protection of warships. In this regard, it can be reflected in the two "Nanji" and "Nanxiang" who returned to China at the beginning of the year. Compared with "Super Yong" and "Yang Wei"'s super fast speed, the two German cruisers only have a speed of only 13 knots. However, "Nanji" and "Nanxiang" have a displacement of 2,000 tons and a full steel structure. The armored guard is much thicker than the two British cruisers.

At that time, the United Kingdom was ranked first in the world's Shanghai Army. They could specially build ships suitable for them for a special task. Cruisers were ships responsible for communication and escort at that time. The Qing Dynasty Navy was far from reaching this level, so German ships might be more suitable for the Qing Dynasty.

As for "Nanfeng", it can be said to be a masterpiece of domestic shipbuilding technology. The Nanfeng, which was built at the beginning of this year, has a displacement of 2,200 tons and a speed of 15 knots. It can be said that it has both the speed of "super courage" and the protection of "Nanji". It can be regarded as a masterpiece in the history of Mawei Shipyard. Unfortunately, after the funding problem was solved and when it was preparing for mass production, Mawei Military Port suffered a devastating blow.

In addition to these seven main battleships, the Nanyang Navy also has more than ten gunboats, including small gunboats purchased by the British Armstrong Shipyard, such as Zhendong, Zhennan, Zhenbei, Zhenzhong, and Zhenbian. These gunboats are shore imitation gunboats. Although they are not suitable for ocean-going decisive battles, they are still very effective in defending the port with the turret, because the gunboat's gunboat has a large diameter and slow speed, with only a speed of 9 knots.

In addition to these, the rest are wooden gunboats factory in the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau of China. They are all old antiques from decades ago, with a speed of 11 knots. However, since most parts of the hull are made of wooden, the shells will burn as long as they hit the shells. Their ability to resist strikes is quite poor.

Due to the special promotion by Guan Xuqing, the commander of the Nanyang Navy is now led by Deng Shichang, the hero of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

Early in the morning, Deng Shichang led seven main battleships and ten small wooden gunboats to Tianjin. Eleven small defensive gunboats were left to guard the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau.
