The next day, Zhang Ruli wore a new navy uniform early and arrived at the navy camp near Haicheng.
"Notify all soldiers to assemble" "I respectfully obey the order of the Grand Governor Jun," the herald said, and then blew the rally call.
Under Zhang Ruli's training, the Haicheng naval forces were indeed well-trained, and they lined up neatly in no time.
Looking at the square formation in front of him, Zhang Ruli suddenly felt that he was ten years younger.
"If you give me some more time, I will train them into a strong force that can compete with all the great powers."
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruli couldn't help but get a little excited and gave orders angrily.
"Commanders and soldiers, please obey the order.
From today on, our Haicheng navy will conduct live ammunition exercises in the nearby bay."
The navy officers in the square team suddenly became excited and responded in unison.
"Serve the country with loyalty" The herald immediately waved the flag in his hand and ordered all the officers to board the ship and set off.
The armored ships that had just returned from England were neatly docked at the naval port near Haicheng Navy, looking so majestic.
Zhang Ruli boarded the main ship, and a moment later, the armored ship weighed anchor and sounded a dull and powerful whistle.
"The Commander-in-Chief has ordered to advance in a single formation."
The messenger waved the signal flag in his hand and issued an order to the other ironclad ships behind him.
In less than half an hour, several armored ships from the Haicheng navy had appeared in the bay near Haicheng.
Zhang Ruli picked up the telescope in his hand, stood up from the command position of the main ship, and saw the old wooden boats that had been arranged in advance in the bay.
"Send the command to sink the moving target," Zhang Ruli ordered calmly.
The flag in the herald's hand immediately awakened the other slave ships.
"Dong dong" several deafening cannon sounds were heard immediately.
Thousands of broken wooden boards on the old wooden boats on the sea suddenly burst into flames, some ignited with raging fire, and some were like torn petals, flying everywhere with the sea breeze. drift.
"Captain, it's hit."
The herald received the semaphores from other slave ships and reported excitedly to Zhang Ruli.
"Well done, Commander-in-Chief, I hope you can one day avenge the country's disgrace," Zhang Ruli excitedly encouraged the officers and men on the armored ship.
"Grand Governor, please rest assured that the great powers will not die in their determination to destroy me.
How can we slack off?"
all the soldiers replied in unison.
"We are a great country.
With good men like you, why can't we avenge our national humiliation?"
Zhang Ruli said with a laugh.
After a whole day of training, the morale of the Haicheng navy became stronger and stronger.
It was not until sunset that Zhang Ruli ordered to return to Hong Kong.
Looking at the few scattered boats in the bay, Zhang Ruli couldn't help but sigh.
"As far as I know, the nearby fishermen have disappeared without a trace long ago when they heard the sound of our navy's cannon drills.
It is getting dark, and these small boats are in high spirits."
The herald replied immediately.
"To the Commander-in-Chief, ordinary fishermen, as long as they know that we are practicing in the near bay, are afraid of being injured by short-eyed cannonballs.
Therefore, they will not watch the fun.
But some fishermen are more troublesome, and they have been persuaded many times to let them They left, but they still didn't listen.
The governor has always told us to be kind to the people, so there is nothing we can do when we encounter these difficult fishermen."
"Oh, I see you did a good job.
Pass on the command from this commander and continue training tomorrow."
Zhang Ruli stood up, picked up the telescope in his hand, and glanced at the fishing boats in the distance with a smile on his face.
It was the middle of the night, and in the meeting hall of Haicheng Trading Company, Oda Shinji was waiting anxiously for the arrival of the man in black.
"Senior, why haven't you arrived yet?
This is not like his usual behavior," Oda Shinji said to himself.

While Oda Shinji was distressed, a familiar black figure opened the door of the meeting hall.
"Senior, you are finally here.
Could it be that something happened again?"
Oda Shinji asked with concern.
"No, I was wandering around Haicheng today.
I heard a few fishermen say that there were people shooting cannons at sea, so I suspected that it was the Haicheng Navy under Zhang Ruli's command.
I went around to verify my guess, and finally got confirmation."
The man in black.
Said with relief.
"Senior, I am anxious to invite you here tonight because I want to report this matter to you," Oda Shinji said calmly.
"Oh Oda-kun, you did a good job.
Now it seems that even if a fly flies into Haicheng, you will notice it."
The man in black smiled and praised Oda Shinji.
"Senior has been commending me for a long time.
I have always remembered my senior's instructions and kept an eye on every move of the Haicheng Navy.
Recently, the iron-clad ships ordered by the Haicheng Navy from England have returned to the port.
The Haicheng Navy's His strength has reached a new level," Oda Shinji calmly reported.
"It seems that my previous strategy was correct.
Zhang Ruli is our empire's biggest enemy in Haicheng.
We must completely defeat him," the man in black couldn't help but sigh.
"Senior, rest assured that with the support of the Imperial Headquarters, we will be able to complete the mission entrusted to us by the Empire," Oda Shinji said confidently.
The man in black nodded and patted Oda Shinji vigorously on the shoulder.
"Oda-kun, please tell me about the new trends of Kaijo's navy during the day."
Oda Shinji unhurriedly reported the information brought back by the spies to the man in black.
"It turns out that there was such a big movement among the Haicheng navy.
Could it be that they are going to take some new actions?"
After hearing this, the man in black sighed and immediately fell into deep thought.
"What the seniors said is absolutely true.
I have been following the Haicheng navy for so long.
In order to save ammunition expenses, they rarely conduct live ammunition exercises.
Their actions today are indeed a bit uncharacteristic.
What kind of medicine is being sold in this fierce gourd?"
Zhi Tian Shiner said puzzledly.
"The matter remains unclear until Zhang Ruli's abnormal behavior is investigated.
We must not react excessively to Zhang Ruli's abnormal behavior.
It is better to wait a little longer.
I firmly believe that it won't be long before the true intentions of Zhang Ruli and his gang will be exposed immediately."
The man in black He ordered confidently.
"Senior, starting from tomorrow, I will have people continue to track the movements of Haicheng Navy.
As soon as there is any situation, I will notify senior immediately," Oda Shinji continued.
The man in black nodded and gave instructions to Oda Shinji.
"Oda-kun, choose a few warriors with quick reactions and be sure to find out the true intentions of Zhang Ruli and the Haicheng navy.
Remember, be cautious in everything."
"Senior, please rest assured that the few warriors involved in this operation are all the elites of the empire."
Oda Shinji replied calmly.

The man in black nodded, with an approving smile on his face.
"Very good, the Qing people have a saying, good steel should be used on the blade."
After saying that, the man in black signaled Oda Shinji to go back, and he took advantage of the darkness to escape from the trading company.
