Capital, imperial palace.

An old woman who looks very rough and looks like a wild boar sitting on the dragon throne. This old woman is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty Tartars, named Nurhaci. In Manchu, Nurhaci means "wild boar skin". Nurhaci's parents hope that when their daughter grows up, she can be as brave as wild boars in the forest, as tough as wild boar skin, and wear-resistant.

This name is good! The result is that as the name is, Nurhaci's image is like a wild boar.

At this time, the wild boar was making a sound like a wild boar attacking humans, and roared angrily: "Why did a group of waste suddenly stop attacking after attacking the north bank of the Yangtze River?"

A middle-aged woman who looks like a badger walked up to the front. The badger's name was Dorgon, who was Nurhaci's fourteenth daughter. In Manchu, Dorgon means badger, which is similar to wild boar skin.

The badger said to the wild boar skin: "Emperor, our army encountered the strange cavalry unit of the Dameng Kingdom when attacking Jiangyin. They rode a small iron car that ran fast and attacked our archers with a very fast fire gun, causing heavy casualties to our army. Before we developed a way to deal with such extremely powerful cavalry, our army did not dare to act rashly."

The wild boar skin was shocked and asked anxiously: "Let me tell you the details."

The badger waved and walked downstairs to Boluo. This guy personally experienced the fierce attack of Yiyun's lone wolf team. He knew Yiyun's new troops best. He quickly told the details of the Battle of Jiangyin in a variety of ways. When he mentioned Yiyun's new weapons, Boluo's eyes were filled with tears, which was scared.

"Fanny!" After hearing this, the wild boar skin snorted coldly, "I'm scared like this. Didn't you discover the enemy's weakness after fighting this battle?"

"Weakness? Didn't find it." Boro said: "The enemy has no weakness at all."

"You are so stupid, even stupider than a wild boar." Wild boar skin said angrily: "The biggest weakness of the enemy is that it lacks military strength. Think about it. Why did such a powerful cavalry not attack Jiangbei in large numbers? Why did they only send five hundred cavalry to break the siege of Jiangyin? If the enemy sends 10,000 such strange cavalry, you will have no life to escape. This can only show one thing, that is, the number of strange cavalry in the enemy is very small..."

Badger and Boro suddenly realized: "The Emperor Ama is so smart."

Wild Boar Skin smiled proudly and said, "Since the enemy's troops are insufficient, no matter how powerful they are, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you send the order, our army's 100,000 army will be saved. In addition, the 100,000 puppet troops of the cute country that have been captured, they will be divided into squads of thousands of people, and launched an attack on Jiangnan from various places along the Yangtze River. They will bloom everywhere. I see how those 500 people can be saved? Hahahaha!"

She laughed wildly a few times, and suddenly someone came in and reported: "Your Majesty, a Western envoy has come and said he is here to do business with us and wants to sell us a few new weapons that can deal with the Great Man of Cute Country."

The wild boar skin frowned and said unhappily: "New weapons? No new weapons are as useful as our bow and horses, so ignore him."

The subordinates got the order and went out to drive away the Western envoys.

Three days later, the wild boar skin was combing his wild boar skin in the palace, and suddenly he heard someone report: "No, the emperor... the Westerners bombarded Tianjin with new warships, smashed Tianjin into ruins, and killed countless soldiers of our army... Oh my God, that kind of warship is so terrifying."

The wild boar skin was shocked and quickly ordered the army to Tianjin. When they arrived in Tianjin, they saw that the two warships on the sea were still bombing at Tianjin without guns. The main guns of these two warships were very terrifying, and the barrels were several times thicker than the most powerful red-clothed cannons in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the red-clothed cannons used by the Qing army were less than 50 mm in diameter, but the guns of these two steam-era iron-clad ships were 305 mm in diameter, which was of course extremely terrifying to the Qing people. Every time the gun was bombed out, it would cause a large amount of land on the shore to roll up. The Qing soldiers in Tianjin were bombed and were unable to resist.

It turned out that after the Westerners had these two new warships, they still did not dare to challenge Yi Yun's Dameng. They sailed northward around the outer sea. They came to Tianjin and wanted to sell the two ships to the Qing court through transactions, but the wild boar skin refused in one bite. The foreigners were furious and started to riots outside Tianjin Port, smashing Tianjin into ruins.

When the wild boar skin arrived, he saw that Tianjin was over and he was unable to turn the world back. He was shocked by this terrifying cannon and felt a little powerless for the first time. He had to order: "Call the envoys from the Western world to come and hear what they have to say."

The Qing soldiers sent envoys first, holding the white flag. After a while, the two ships stopped shelling and sent envoys to go down the shore and came towards the wild boar skin. The Western envoy was very arrogant, but when he suddenly saw the appearance of the wild boar skin, he was immediately scared and sweated. He thought to himself: How terrifying is there a woman who looks like this.

The messenger's attitude was frightened and he said a little politely: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, we are here to discuss business with you."

Wild Boar Skin was furious: "Will people who talk about business use cannons to smash my city?"

The Western Envoy hummed, "If we don't blow up, will you talk?"

The wild boar skin was so angry that he had to say, "Don't think it would be great to bombard my city from a long distance at sea. If you want to negotiate an unfair deal, I will not agree. The boat cannot drive on the ground."

The Western Envoy said: "It is definitely a fair deal. We in Europe want to sell these two ships to you, the Qing Dynasty."

"What? Do you want to sell these two powerful ships to me?" Wild Boar Skin was shocked. She thought that foreigners would use this powerful warship to threaten her. Unexpectedly, they wanted to sell the ship to her. They couldn't help but secretly said: "How much?"

The Western Envoy laughed and said, "The two ships have a total of 6 million taels of silver."

"Fuck me, 6 million taels? Why don't you rob it?" The wild boar skin was furious, and she immediately wanted to refuse the deal.

At this time, a female Han official following behind the wild boar skin came up. The Han official was named Li Hongzhang. He was twenty-five years old this year. He looked ordinary and could not be said to be beautiful. She could only say that he was not ugly. She whispered in the ear of the wild boar skin: "Master, we should buy these two ships."

"What's the point of buying it? It's so expensive!" The wild boar skin was unhappy.

Li Hongzhang said: "Foreigners are very powerful, mostly because they rely on these strange weapons. Not long ago, Boluo was defeated by Da Mengguo in Jiangyin. Isn't it because the other party has strange machine cavalry? If we buy these two ships, we can obtain the same strange technology. We can launch the Westernization Movement, build new factories, produce new weapons for foreigners, and learn from the barbarians' skills to control barbarians, and then we can take over Nan Mengguo..."

"Oh? You've made sense." The wild boar skin was a little moved.

Li Hongzhang said again: "6 million taels sound a bit expensive, but it is actually nothing. Anyway, we have seized a large area of ​​land in Jiangbei, and the amount of silver we robbed is exactly 6 million taels? This is considered to use the money from the Da Mengguo to buy warships to fight the Da Mengguo, which is cost-effective."

The wild boar skin was finally convinced and laughed: "It's reasonable, the money we snatched from Da Mengguo is almost 6 million taels. Use this money to buy two warships to fight Nan Mengguo, and then grab the money from the south, there is still a profit."

At this moment, the two sides signed a contract and decided to make a deal. These two new iron-armored warships became the Qing Dynasty warships. One was named "Dingyuan" and the other was named "Zhenyuan". Li Hongzhang was fully responsible for establishing the Beiyang Navy.

Li Hongzhang also brought a lot of money from the wild boar skin and purchased many other battleships to assist the two battleships from the Eight-Nation Alliance, including the armored cruiser Jingyuan and Laiyuan, and then bought protective cruisers Jiyuan, Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, and impact cruisers Yang Wei, Chaoyong, Iron-ribbed wooden-shell cruiser Guangjia, torpedo cruiser Guangyi, Guangbing, gunboat Dragon Inlay, Tiger Wei, Feiting, CeD, and auxiliary ships: Haijing, Meiyun, Liyun, Caojiang, Xizhao, Feiting, Feitu, Chaohai, Iron Dragon, Feilong, Kuaishun, Yushun, Lishun, Jieshun, Baorao, Guihai, River Guide, Quick Horse, Sea Horse, Pole Thunder, Guarding Thunder, Underwater Machine Ship, Underwater Bridge Ship, 50-ton coal transport ship, 20-ton water ship.

The Eight-Nation Alliance had just produced it, and Li Hongzhang bought all the big and small ships sent from Europe.

Europeans knew that these ships were not enough to fight against Yi Yun’s super battleship Dameng, so they sold them all to the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, these ships were destined to be eliminated as soon as they were produced, so it would be better to exchange them for money from the Qing Dynasty. They seized the time to carry out the industrial revolution, and technological transcendence was the right reason, and it was more cost-effective to leave the war to the Qing Dynasty.

The Beiyang Navy was formed in this way. These ships did not require fuel and were all burning coal. The Qing Dynasty knew how to dig coal, so the power was not a problem.

After the establishment of the Beiyang Fleet, Wild Boar Skin ordered Li Hongzhang to practice quickly. The Westerners did not tell him that Yi Yun had a more powerful Da Cute Skin. Of course, Wild Boar Skin didn't know that she was expected to help him capture Shanghai Oasis after she was proficient in training, so she urged her very urgently.

Under the urging of the wild boar skin, Li Hongzhang also worked hard to train sailors and promoted a large number of naval generals, Ye Zugui, Sa Zhenbing, Ding Ruchang and others, all of whom became generals in the Beiyang Navy at this time.
