"Converting the budget of 8.6 million won for ship purchases and personnel training, the royal family took out 2 million won, the Ministry of Finance allocated 5 million won, and the remaining 1.6 million won was transferred from the Navy's special funds for use."

At the end of 1879, Zhang Zhenxun gave Li Mingyuan's assets worth 31 million silver in the name of his daughter's dowry. In addition to the funds invested in the palace, heavy industry development and construction, etc., the working capital that can be used is about 10 million silver. One million yuan (2 million won) was drawn from 10 million yuan of silver to support the development of the navy, and the amount was moderate, and it did not affect the subsequent use plan of the reserve funds.

"There was a balance of funds collected during the internal rectification. The government squeezed a little more from the fiscal budget. Within two years, it could allocate 5 million won to support the naval ship purchase plan."

Liu Pu stated on behalf of government departments.

"The navy has to think of more ways, and it can make up 1.6 million won."

"Very well, the issue of ship purchase funds has been resolved. As for the construction of the navy itself, Chen Sen, Li Han, and Feng Guoan, do you have any other comments and suggestions to add?"

"His Majesty, since the size of the naval ship force is to be expanded, should the construction of the naval base, the establishment of the base defense force, and the establishment of the Marine Corps also be expanded accordingly?"

"There is no doubt that naval bases will change as the fleet expands."

"As His Majesty said, the navy's combat targets are the navies of Chile and the Republic of Brazil, and maybe the US Navy will be added later. China, unified the establishment of three base management headquarters in the homeland, commanding naval management affairs in both Atlantic and Pacific directions, and sharing the management pressure of surface force commanders. "

"Are you ready for specific plans for base construction and management?"

"A preliminary plan is in place."

Chen Sen explained, "The construction plan of the naval base is expected to be completed in nine years. From this year to 1890, the three naval bases assisted the fleet to manage a total of 40 main warships. The base staff includes 5,500 naval officers and 4,500 naval forces. The battalion, the 10,000 base vessel maintenance and garrison troops, holds a comprehensive exercise in cooperation with bases, ships, and marines every two years to improve the comprehensive combat capabilities of bases and ship formations. "

"Haha, where did you come up with the base construction plan? I think it includes all matters related to the navy."

Li Mingyuan laughed, and did not make a clear statement about the proposal proposed by Chen Sen.

"The construction of the base is closely related to the overall plan of the Navy. When formulating the construction plan of the base, it will inevitably involve other aspects of naval development."

"I understand your mood."

Li Mingyuan waved his hand, stopped his laughter, and explained, "The Navy is different from the Army and belongs to high-tech arms. The daily maintenance of warships and the monthly troop of officers and men are a huge expense compared to the Army.

Compare the Manchukuo Division, East Fleet, which is also a late-developing navy country, with the local navy.

In terms of the Qing court navy division, the annual income of the Navy Governor is about 8400 silvers; the annual income of the navy chief is about 3960 silvers; the annual income of the vice admiral is about 3240 silvers; silver.

The first-class sailor earns 10 silver per month; the first-class gunner earns 20 silver per month; onshore clerks pay 3 silver per month; the torpedo craftsman earns 24 silver per month; the telecommunications soldier earns 30 silver per month.

The annual income of a farmer in the mainland is about 40 silver. The average annual income of an ordinary worker in Shanghai and Yangcheng in the coastal areas is about 50 silver. Comparing the two, we can find the average military income of Qing Dynasty naval officers and soldiers. Nearly ten times as many ordinary people in the mainland. "

Li Mingyuan continued to describe the intelligence gathered by intelligence personnel from the Far East.

"Since 1874, the Meiji Government of the East Rime promulgated a new salary standard for naval officers and soldiers: the annual salary of the admiral is 6,000 to 8,000 yen; the annual salary of the admiral is 4400 to 5500 yen; the major general, the chief medical officer, and the chief accounting officer It is 3600 ~ 4600 yen; naval officers at all levels are about 1280 ~ 3000 yen; naval officers at all levels are about 400 ~ 980 yen; the military salaries of ordinary sailors are 7 dollars per day (100 dollars for 1 yen), converted into The annual salary is 25.55 yen.

And the economic data released by the government last year showed that, on average, an average Japanese person can save more than ten yen a year. The ratio of yen to Chinese won is 1 to 0.75, and more than 10 yen are left in the country. That is to say, the level of eight or nine yuan won is not worth the two-month income of ordinary local workers, and their standard of living is not comparable to the Chinese people in the mainland. Due to the poverty of the elementary school, Dongxuan can only choose to squeeze the interests of ordinary people as much as possible to develop the navy. Although the local government uses land as the main military subsidy, the standard of military orders for naval officers and soldiers is one third lower than that of Dongxuan, but the maintenance of warships The training of naval mechanics and officers and soldiers, the proportion of the amount of funds spent each year, is much higher than that of Dongying and Qingting navies ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Earlier this year, the navy submitted a budget of 1.78 million won. It is expected that in the next ten years, The rate of increase in naval military expenditure will not be less than five-tenths. So much financial pressure is placed on the government. It is very difficult and cannot be carried out in full accordance with your base construction plan. "

"Your Majesty thinks how to change it?"

"The number of the three main bases remains the same. The number of main warships has increased to 26 within ten years. The naval force has been reduced to 4,500. The size of the Marine Corps is roughly according to your plan. The staffing level is maintained at about 4,000. The base is staffed. Gradually increase to 7,000 people. "

Li Mingyuan slightly reduced the naval expansion plan proposed by Chen Sen, reminding him that "Although the Germans took the initiative to contact us and were willing to help build local warships, their intention was mainly for the benefit of the German side. The navy has selected a group of personnel to form a joint military inspection team, which is mainly responsible for supervising the Voltaire shipyard and requires the Germans to build two battleships in strict accordance with our improved plan without experimental changes. "

"His Majesty rest assured that the navy will select the appropriate personnel and ask the German side to start the official construction of the local warships after completing the construction of the two warships of the Qing court."

"The Germans will most likely bully the Qing court when they do not understand the way of warship construction. Two warships purchased by the Qing court will be used as experimental objects to verify and improve their warship construction technology. Even if the Qing court suffers, we cannot be confused by the Germans. , The loss is unknown. "

Li Han echoed.

"After the military expedition arrived in Europe, in addition to supervising the construction of warships, it was also necessary to assign some personnel to inspect the military situation of the European land and navy countries, and to consider the local military development as a comparative reference ....
