一筹设海防、建立海军,是李鸿章“洋务”建设的中心,也是清政府所谓“自强”的主要方面之一。自1875年5月李鸿章奉命督办北洋海防起,就极力筹建北洋海军,并以“中国仿造,皆其初时旧式,……即使访询新式,孜孜效法,数年而后,西人别出新奇,中国又成故步”,以及“中国造船之银,倍于外洋购船之价”为理由,主张“今急欲成军,须在外国定造为省便”。于是清政府用大量银子直接购买外国兵舰,到1888年北洋海军正式成军,共购买战舰十九艘。
The establishment of a coastal defense force and the establishment of a navy are the center of Li Hongzhang’s “Westernization” and one of the major aspects of the Qing government’s so-called “self-improvement.” Since May 1875, when Li Hongzhang was ordered to supervise the Northern Ocean Coast defense, he tried hard to build a navy in the Northern Ocean. With “China’s imitation, all its old style, ... even after consulting the new style and diligently following the example, Another step into history, ”and“ the price of silver in China’s shipbuilding vessels, as long as the price of foreign ships ”, advocating that“ this is an impetus to become a military and must be made as a province in foreign countries. ” So the Qing government used large quantities of silver to buy foreign warships directly. By 1888, the Northern Navy officially entered the army and purchased a total of 19 warships.
