Chapter 1222: Counterinsurgency
Seeing the faint red light flickering from the southern sky, Wang Chaoxian did smile proudly.
Because from this time on, he was the commander of the Manchu Shui Division.
Only he still had to wait, waiting for the thirty-six guns and their gunners to return.
Pick them up and head back to the station.
Then, a group of warships and sailors went north.
Who would have guessed that the shelling of the military workshop, such a big thing, was done first by his dynasty?
Even if Wu Zheng gets an urgent report, I'm afraid he won't be able to suspect him for a while.
When he led the fleet to reach Dagu Pass safely, even if Wu Zheng came to his senses and dispatched Wu Song Shui Shi and Chen Qian Shui Shi, I am afraid that he would not be able to reach it.
At that time, the Dagukou fort and the artillery on its own warships, which had been reinforced by the Qing court, were not attacking enough, and there was more than enough to defend themselves.
In Wang Chaoxian's opinion, even if he can't coerce all the boats and water divisions and the whole ship to go north and pull half of them away, he can still do it.
With this half-water foundation, his life in the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not be sad.
If the sailors who want to fight against Wu Zheng are in Dagukou, the Qing court has to pamper itself and rely on itself for everything.
Thinking that Dorgon would respect him for three points, Wang Xianzhi laughed triumphantly in the wind.
……。
It does take time to mobilize the Wusong Water Division.
In particular, the Wusong Naval Division has been temporarily transferred to the Zhoushan Naval Division of the first dynasty and stationed in Zhoushan, even if it is immediately ordered to go north, I am afraid that there will not be a day, and it will not be able to carry out the blockade order at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
But Chen Qianshan's landscape division is different, it is deployed in the northeast direction of Jinshanwei.
It was also because this naval division suffered heavy casualties after fierce fighting with the Zhengjia naval division and needed to rest and recuperate, so it did not participate in this training of various military branches.
However, Chen Qianshan's equipment did not deteriorate due to the previous war.
Nearly 50 main warships from the Zheng Jiashui Division not only made up for the loss of Chen Qianshan's division, but even increased the number of warships by more than two times, when Wang Yilin led the naval division to fight, there were only more than 20 warships, most of which were medium-sized gunboats, and the capital ships were only twelve.
And Wu Zheng was also moved by Wang Yilin's "hard work" at that time, and ordered to concentrate his forces, delayed the refitting of Wu Song's naval division's gunwales, and provided Wang Yilin with priority redressing.
In other words, the battleship belonged to the Zheng Jiashui Division, but the gunwales were new artillery made by the Songjiang Military Workshop.
The warship of the Zheng family's naval division has an advantage, it has a reserved hole in the gun, which hardly needs to be changed.
Because the artillery of the Zheng Jiashui Division is still in the initial stage of imitating the Hongyi cannon, the barrel is thick, and the shells are not picked, and the distance of the firing range is determined by the amount of charge.
The reserved hole for such a gunwald gun is very large, and the caliber of the reloaded gun is far smaller than the reserved hole, and the replacement of the gun is actually to move the new gun up, install it on the gun truck, and push it to the rear gun position along the gun car track on the original deck.
Therefore, what Chen Qianshan needs is only internal integration.
……。
Wang Yilin was the first to receive the order.
As far as Wang Yilin is concerned, he has long been unaccustomed to seeing the dynasty first.
In the few months when he was the deputy chief of the Zhoushan Water Division, Wang Chaoxian often gave him small shoes to wear.
This is normal, the dynasty first knew the relationship between Wang Yilin and Wu Zheng, and had long suspected that Wang Yilin was here to seize power, how could he give a good face?
Naturally, he was careful and set up a pit from time to time, but he didn't dare to come openly.
Wang Yilin's temper is very arrogant in front of Wu Zheng.
Therefore, if these two people can get along, then it is called a stranger.
Of course, there is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and Wang Yilin thinks that after all, he is not Wu Zheng's henchman, he is still patient, and he did not directly fight with the dynasty first.
But in my heart, it's hehe.
Therefore, as soon as he received Wu Zheng's order, Wang Yilin was called cool in his heart.
It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come.
Dare to love, the time has come.
Moreover, Wang Yilin was still greedy for the Zhoushan Water Master, thinking that as long as the dynasty was destroyed first, it was very likely that he would swallow the Zhoushan Water Master in one bite, so that he could go hand in hand with Zhang Mingzhen.
Thinking of this, Wang Yilin immediately ordered Chen Qianshan to end the training ahead of schedule, and with the existing equipment, he directly went to the mouth of the Yangtze River to implement the blockade.
Wang Yilin himself, without waiting for the sailors to assemble, directly led a few warships around him and set off first.
This is a rush for time, Wang Yilin is afraid that Zhang Mingzhen will rush to the target battlefield first, and there will be nothing to do with the soup.
Only before Zhang Mingzhen can he eat meat.
Northwest, on the way to the mouth of the sea, Wang Yilin roared loudly.
It's exciting!
……。
Generals, only those who are war-hungry can be called powerful generals.
Such a general, the soldiers brought out, like a tiger in the mountains, heard the battle, it was a "whoop" cry.
Some calm generals, or generals from the literati, are relatively different, they are Confucian generals, such an army is more than calm, not enterprising enough, lacks momentum, and can only be used for defense.
Wu Zheng likes generals like Wang Yilin and Chi Erhan in the dog day, but this kind of general also has flaws or shortcomings.
The flaw is obvious, the so-called good attacker, the enemy does not know what to defend.
Generals can often only fight with the wind, and once they are defeated, they will suffer heavy casualties or even total annihilation.
The one who can really achieve the integration of offense and defense is a generation of famous generals, which can be met but not sought.
Wang Yilin and Chi Erhan are definitely not famous generals, their flaws are too big.
It is an exaggeration to evaluate that they are brave and unstrategic, but they are not good at using military tricks.
They like to go straight, just like Chi Erhan, Zhan Bi personally goes into battle, rushing to the front, which is terrifying.
But this time, perhaps it was Wang Zhiren who blessed him in the spirit of heaven, and Wang Yilin was considered to have hit great luck.
……。
Artillery, even with a gun carriage, was very slow to move in the road environment at the time.
After all, they are all iron lumps weighing more than 1,000 catties, and with a weak heart, they dare not take the official road, and the speed is even slower.
Fortunately, the weather is beautiful, and it is not raining, otherwise, I am afraid that it is not much faster than a snail crawling.
Wang Chaoxian obviously didn't know Wu Zheng's character too well.
This is a small person from the market, and he has never valued his life more than anyone else.
And Wu Zheng is a person who will make a desperate bet when he sees one thing.
The same is true of the experience of past lives.
In addition, the real Wu Zheng is even more of a hot-blooded teenager, and he also does not regard his life as too much.
These two people are integrated, and this is a very experienced stronghold.
It's not that you don't want to die, but you have identified a direction, and the nine cows can't pull it back.
Although Wang Chaoxian has followed Wu Zheng for more than three years since the first war in Shaoxing Mansion that year, he has been stationed in Zhoushan for most of the time, and except for the monthly routine report, he has very few meetings with Wu Zheng.
