In the Guangludao Pavilion Station, in front of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, Shen Yourong taught Shen Shouyao very harshly.

"Hachi, I know you want to be a good general who can fight on the battlefield.

But do you know that in the past, even if a large-scale naval battle with hundreds of ships was defeated, the victorious side would not directly sink more than 10 large ships. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Yourong showed a somewhat sneering expression on his face.

"Hachi, you know?

Even a super-large fleet of hundreds of seagoing vessels may not return after a hurricane and tsunami.

The example of the former Yuan Zheng Japanese fleet, have you forgotten?

Hachi, an excellent boat boss, is not because he can make his boat run fast, but because he can make his boat effectively avoid all kinds of natural disasters and rapids, and finally arrive at the destination he wants to go safely.

In the same way, an excellent fleet commander can best show his excellence, and he can sail safely with the fleet, and then return safely with the fleet.

As long as you can do this, the old man will agree to let you be the commander of the fleet. ”

After a pause, Shen Yourong raised his head and said contemptuously: "As for the battle you have been thinking about for a long time?

Xiaoba, as long as you can bring the fleet to the preset battlefield safely, then as long as the soldiers under your command are well-trained and have the heart to die, then if the battle is not won, then it is strange? ”

was taught such a lesson by his father Shen Yourong in front of King Xin, and Shen Shouyao's face was red and white.

In fact, Shen Yourong trained Shen Shouyao's words, Shen Shouyao had heard them more than once. But Shen Yourong has never been so ruthless.

Is there such a big gap between me and the famous generals?

Shen Shouyao's young heart was full of frustration.

Shen Yourong's statement, Zhu Youzhen understands it very well.

In Zhu Youzhen's memory, the appearance of strong ships and sharp guns has made naval warfare more and more distant from broadside battles, and the influence of naval soldiers' personal bravery on the battle has become smaller and smaller.

Shen Yourong's foresight of the future war is really worthy of his status as a famous general.

"General Shen, I heard that the gunboat with red hair is sharp, and the ship meets Lifen, is it true?"

Remembering that Shen Yourong had personally seen the Dutch warships, Zhu Youzhen asked curiously.

Regarding the power of the Dutch warships in this era, Zhu Youzhen was really curious.

"The battleship of the red-haired fan?"

Shen Yourong's face showed a look of memory.

The old man remembered that it was still the thirty-second year of Wanli.

In July of that year, the red-haired Fanwei Malang took three warships, privately occupied our Penghu Island, and forcibly demanded trade with our Ming Dynasty.

A foreign race who behaves so arrogantly, how can the court tolerate him.

In October, the old man was ordered by the imperial court to go to Penghu to negotiate with the chief Wei Malang, and finally drove him out of my Ming territory.

The warships led by Nawei Marang are indeed different from the regulations of my Ming ships.

His ship was more than 10 zhang long and 3 zhang wide, and there were three unusually tall masts on board, and several huge soft sails were hung on them. The whole ship looks a little bigger than our treasure ship. ”

Shen Yourong didn't know what he remembered, and sighed lightly before continuing:

"Your Highness, the deepest impression of the old man about the red-haired warship is that his ship has super thick planks and a lot of cannons.

Your Highness, the thickness of the board of the red-haired warship is about 2 feet, and one ship is equipped with 2 or 30 cannons. It's really a strong ship.

However, although the cannon of the red haired fan is extremely sharp, it is a bit too exaggerated to say that the ship meets the powder. ”

Listening to Shen Yourong's impression of the Dutch warship, Zhu Youzhen was a little puzzled.

This Dutchman has such a strong ship and a sharp cannon in his hand, why is he so honest to listen to Shen Yourong's words?

At the beginning, the performance of the warships of the Ming army should be a lot worse than that of the Dutch warships, right?

"Your Highness, this naval battle is not a battle that anyone whose ship is bigger, stronger, and whose artillery is sharper will definitely win. If you want a naval battle, it's really that simple, then when we see the size of the opponent's ship, let's just surrender directly. ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's question, Shen Yourong smiled very happily.

"Your Highness, although the red-haired fan is strong and sharp, where are they staying?

That's my Ming's Penghu.

That's our turf.

Fight against us on our turf, which they don't have at all.

Moreover, though their ships are great and their sails are many; However, the ship's action is not flexible enough, and the operation of many sails must be extremely cumbersome.

Our boat is small, but our boat is far more flexible than theirs.

If we really want to fight, we only need to surround each other with arson boats, and the three warships of the Hongmao Fana are not even sharp, even if the artillery is sharp, they will definitely lose.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Malang heard that the old man had mobilized more than 50 warships and was ready to start an all-out war with him, he could only leave gloomily. ”

Speaking of this paragraph, Shen Yourong became happy.

Also, isn't this soldier who drove aliens out of the country and surrendered without a fight the best glory of the general?

"Suppose, General Shen. It's hypothetical.

Suppose that if there are 10 or 20 warships of that kind at once, how should we fight? ”

Seeing that Shen Yourong became radiant, Zhu Youzhen was really happy for him.

However, although he didn't want to spoil Shen Yourong's good mood, Zhu Youzhen still wanted to hear what kind of tactics Shen Yourong would use to deal with it if the main force of the Dutch Far East Fleet came.

Zhu Youzhen has heard that quantitative change will cause qualitative change.

It may not be enough for the Dutch to protect each other with only 3 ships. But if 20 warships came together, the density of artillery fire would be much higher than that of 3 warships.

At that time, I was afraid that it would be difficult for the arson ship to rush to the other party, right?

"20 warships?"

Shen Yourong frowned slightly.

"If Hongmao Fan has 20 warships like that, then arson ships alone will definitely not work."

Regarding the hypothetical issue of Zhu Youzhen, Shen Yourong seems to have studied it for a long time. He only thought about it for a moment and came up with the answer.

"If there are so many warships coming from Hongmaofan, then the old man must use a big ship to attract enemy fire, and then use an arson ship to take advantage of the gap to besiege it to hope for victory."

Shen Yourong looked at Zhu Youzhen and said solemnly: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the old man has already calculated it in his heart."

If you really want to deal with that kind of strong enemy, the old man needs to gather at least 200 or more warships to have a chance of victory.

And even if they can win in the end, they will definitely have to pay the price of a large number of charging warships. ”

Hearing Shen Yourong's clear answer, Zhu Youzhen's face was slightly moved.

In the previous life, in the naval battle of Liuluo Bay between the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch, Zheng Zhilong seemed to have defeated the Dutch with this tactic.

It seems that Shen Yourong's level is indeed very high, and his tactical concept against Dutch warships is still in place.

Seeing that King Xin was moved, Shen Yourong thought that King Xin was dissatisfied with the tactics he thought, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"Your Highness, the cannons of the red haired fan are sharp, and against our small and medium-sized ships under 100 materials, we only need to hit a few shots in a row to sink the ship.

It is impossible to easily defeat them without paying a huge price. ”

As he spoke, Shen Yourong suddenly came back to his senses. Why should he care so much about King Xin, King Xin can't control his Shen Yourong's official career.
