Volume 3 Chapter 17 The invincible Yu army in naval warfare

Zhang Bin was really angry at the shamelessness of these Wenchens, no wonder Chongzhen said that "everyone can kill Wenchen", these guys no longer have the Ming Dynasty in their eyes, there are no ordinary people, only their own interests.

In order to force out their own way of raising food and wages, they even disregarded the morale of the front-line soldiers, and directly sent an urgent message of 800 miles, telling the front-line generals that the army rations could not be raised, so you should go to the governor and ask for it!

Fortunately, Yu Zhigao, the son of the famous general Yu Dayou, is leading the troops on the Yuegang side, and he wants to change to a rice bucket general, with a group of lazy guards, just based on this news, the front-line army is afraid that it will mutiny.

At this time, he had already heard from everyone's chatter that Yu Chenglong's father was Yu Zhigao, the chief soldier who led the army to defeat the Netherlands and recover Penghu in the Battle of Penghu in the fourth year of the Apocalypse!

However, this is a bit strange, in history, Yu Zhigao seems to have disappeared after the Battle of Penghu, and there is no news at all, what is going on?

Zhang Bin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Jackie Chan, isn't Ling Zun the chief soldier, why are there only a thousand people under him?" ”

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he said indignantly: "After Lord Nanju Yinan was framed by the eunuchs, my father's position as the chief soldier was also removed, where are there any soldiers and horses under his hands, this time Lord Hong ordered us to go to Yuegang to support just because my father inherited the hereditary Yongning Wei commanded the affairs, and his subordinates trained a thousand elite guards, and we only brought the soldiers and horses of the Yongning Wei headquarters. ”

Zhang Bin knew that the general army was a temporary dispatch, no grade, no fixed number, generally by the noble or the five military governors of the left and right governors, in case of conquest, the military department appointed generals as the chief military officer, the guard army, led by it, after the end of the war, return the general seal, the army back to the guard.

If the person who serves as the chief soldier does not have a title and is not the governor of the left and right, then, after a big victory, he will generally be suspended from the governor's office of the five armies and promoted to the right governor or the left governor, like Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, when they were appointed as the chief military officer, they did not have a title and were not the left and right governors of the five armies, but after winning a great victory in the battle to exterminate the Japanese invaders, they were all promoted to the right governors of the five armies.

Governor Nan Juyi, the general soldier Yu Zhigao led the army to defeat the Dutch Navy, and the recovery of Penghu was already a great victory. ”

Such a big victory, it stands to reason that all heroes should be rewarded, even if the reward is finished, then it must be rewarded, this is the rule, otherwise who will work hard for the court!

As a result, the governor Nan Juyi was dismissed and his status was reduced, and the chief soldier Yu Zhigao was removed and repatriated!

This gang of eunuchs is so cruel to the heroes, the treachery of the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties is not as ruthless as them, no wonder many Ming generals in the Chongzhen Dynasty have no intention of fighting, and doing this makes people's hearts cold!

At this time, Zhang Bin wanted to go to the imperial court and asked Yu Zhigao to be transferred as the chief soldier to compensate the veteran.

The reason why he didn't ask Chongzhen to send him a general soldier this time was mainly because he wanted to inspire Cao Wenzhao, Qi Yuangong and Zheng Zhilong to make meritorious contributions and fight bravely to kill the enemy.

After he recruited Zheng Zhilong, he wouldn't even give him a general, he would only give him a guerrilla general with no rank first, and if he wanted to be promoted, he would exchange it for meritorious service!

If you give him a general or a general soldier at the beginning, then I am afraid that I will not be able to control him, after all, most of his subordinates are pirates who follow him to death, even if he installs some middle-level generals, if he turns his face, he will not be able to masturbate if he wants to.

Zhang Bin thought about it for a while, but still gave up the idea of immediately asking the imperial court to transfer Yu Zhigao as the chief soldier, because now the eunuch party is still in power, and he will play it himself and let them raise the general soldier who has been pushed down again, so don't you slap people's faces, this performance will definitely be torn to pieces by Wei Zhongxian!

Besides, Yu Zhigao is already a little old, even if he is recruited to cultivate, he will retire after a few years, which is very unfavorable to his own military power, it is better to win over and train Yu Chenglong and give him a chance to be promoted.

Yu Long Qi Hu, the Yu family army is invincible in naval warfare, the Qi family army is invincible in land and sea warfare, water and land cooperation, all pirates are annihilated, and now he has a bunch of land generals, but there is no one in the navy generals, if Yu Chenglong inherits the essence of the Yu family's naval warfare, it just makes up for his shortcomings.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin took the school entrance examination and said: "Jackie Chan, I heard that the Yu family army is invincible in naval battles, I don't know how to fight in this naval battle?" ”

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he immediately said without hesitation: "According to the opinion of the ancestors, naval warfare is nothing more than fighting small boats with big ships, defeating the widows with the crowd, and fighting small guns with big guns." The most important thing in this naval battle is the preparation before the battle, such as building warships, configuring weapons, training soldiers, and studying formations. Once the war starts, the formation is discharged, the ship is driven forward, such as the arm command, the division of the attack, if the number is superior, the weapon is superior, the natural victory is in hand, if the number and weapons are not dominant, then it is necessary to find a way to form a local advantage to break through. ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he nodded again and again, it seems that Yu Chenglong's theoretical knowledge is quite solid, but I don't know if it's just on paper.

He chose a specific detail and said, "Then how to equip the warship?" ”

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he immediately said: "The warship should be dominated by the Fu ship, and the Fu ship building is as high as the city, and there is a guard plate next to it." The soldiers are condescending and have a guard to cover, whether it is to shoot arrows at enemy ships, or throw fireballs, fire bricks, fire barrels, etc., it is very convenient, if the water is smooth, it can even sink the Japanese ship. If it is equipped with firearms such as Dafa tribute cannon, thousand-pound Buddha machine, thunder cannon, bowl mouth gun, Lumi gun, spray canister, etc., it is almost invincible against the Japanese boats. In addition, you can also use sea boats, cangshan boats, and wheels as wings, and use fire dragon ships, mother ships, and chain ships to assist in fire attacks, as long as gunpowder, firearms, and ignition are well prepared, you will win against the enemy. ”

Good fellow, you have to prepare so many ships and weapons!

When Zhang Bin heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless, but the words were not rough, naval warfare was indeed a fight for size, quantity, and weapons, and the European continental powers were not bullying other countries because their warships were not as big as them, not as many as them, and their weapons were not as advanced as them.

It seems that this Yu Chenglong has understood the essence of naval warfare, and he is an object that can be cultivated, and he is worried about the generals of the water division, if he relies purely on Zheng Zhilong, he will inevitably be coerced, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it will be easy to do with Yu Chenglong, and the warships will all be incorporated by him, see if he is honest!

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin immediately raised his wine glass and said in appreciation: "Jackie Chan is worthy of being Yu Wuxiang, and he has mastered the essence of naval warfare, admire, admire, come, I salute you." ”

Yu Chenglong hurriedly raised his wine glass, was modest for a while, and then drank it with Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin immediately co-opted and said: "I am preparing to gather the guards to exterminate the pirates, this land battle has the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Qi family's army, it must be invincible, this naval battle will depend on you, I don't know if you are willing to help me suppress the pirates." ”

Yu Chenglong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, just give orders." ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and said with relief: "In the past few days, you will stay and assist me in counting the number of guards and Dingkou, and determine the conscription plan, as for the matter of grain and grass, you don't have to worry, half a month later, I will personally lead the army and escort the grain and grass to Yuegang." ”

Since there was no problem with the grain and grass, Yu Chenglong was naturally relieved, and he arched his hand again and again: "Thank you for your appreciation, my subordinates will do their best to help your lord suppress the pirates." ”
