中法战争后,海军衙门成立并负责筹措南、北洋经费,此后十年中南洋海军经费总额约700万两,常年经费平均为70万两,仅够维持现有军舰的保养。北洋海军此时期的经费,逾2600万两。清廷经费大部分流向北洋海军,南洋海军经费极度短缺、数额少、来源单一,从源头上制约了其发展壮大。 After the Sino-French War, the Navy Yamen was established and was responsible for raising funds for the North and South Seas. In the following 10 years, the Navy spent a total of about 7 million U.S. dollars on naval forces and an average annual cost of 700,000 yuan, maintaining the maintenance of existing warships only. Northern navy funding for this period, more than 26 million two. Most of the Qing funds flowed to the Northern navy. The Nanyang navy was in short supply with a small amount and a single source, restricting its growth and development from the source.
