Yan Hui and his entourage crossed the Qingjiang River to Wuzhou, and Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Jiangnan, led Xue Ping, Xue Jinsong and other Jiangnan officials to hold a grand welcome ceremony at the Wuzhou wharf. The arrival of Yan Chengyu and Yan Hui stirred the mood of Jiangnan officials and others, and made the people of Jiangnan excited. When everyone saw the father and son and the two generations of war gods walking down the Sea Dragon King together, the pier erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Murong Feng already had a heavy minister's bearing, he respectfully met Yan Chengyu and Yan Hui, and told his sister about his longing, Xiao Yue quietly pointed behind him, Murong Feng smiled slightly, and walked quickly to Yan Jiaorao, who was a little panicked.

"Rao'er, I'm here to pick you up, Rao'er has grown up and is becoming more and more like my mother."

"Brother Murong, well, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's better to see you."

Murong Feng said as he put a string of ruby bracelets on Yan Jiaorao's wrist, he took Yan Jiaorao's hand and said affectionately: "My family Rao'er is so beautiful no matter what she wears, go, follow me home." ”

Ahem, Murong Feng looked back and saw a graceful and luxurious lady standing behind him, Murong Feng naturally knew Zhuo Yujiao, and he hurriedly gave a salute.

"My son-in-law meets my mother-in-law."

"Hehe, Xiaofeng, the old body hasn't promised to marry Rao'er to you, don't call it that."

"Yes, ma'am. But it's a matter of time. ”

"So sure?"

"Of course, if you don't have this confidence, you won't be called Murong Feng, and you won't be worthy of being the son-in-law of the Yan family."

"My family's marriage must be done by her own will, you have to come on. Don't forget, a good girl is a thousand families, in addition to you, there is also a little jue, and I like that child very much. ”

"You're going to be Kaede's mother-in-law, I'm sure."

"Haha, don't talk about it, Rao'er is blushing, is she living in your house this time? I have long heard that the old house of the Murong family is the only one in the south of the Yangtze River, and this time the old body must have a good experience. ”

"I will not disappoint Madame, Madame, please. Rao'er, take my hand. ”

Yan Jiaorao bypassed Murong Feng and pulled Zhuo Yujiao's arm tightly, and Zhuo Yujiao touched Yan Jiaojiao's face dotingly. Jiao Rao is very sticky to Zhuo Yujiao, perhaps because Yanhui's childhood was spent by Niu Dazhuang and his wife, so Zhuo Yujiao regrets that she couldn't be with her son. Therefore, this love was transferred to Yan Jiaorao, to be honest, Zhuo Yujiao also told Yan Chengyu that there must be a son and a daughter, the son inherits the family business, the daughter stays by his side, and the children are all happy. Now that she has Yan Jiaorao, Zhuo Yujiao feels that her wishes have been satisfied, and she is reluctant to marry Yan Jiaorao so early. Besides, Yan Chengyu's daughter, Yan Hui's sister is still afraid that she won't be able to get married?

Murong Feng looked at Yan Jiaojiao, who was hiding timidly beside Zhuo Yujiao, and then looked at Zhuo Yujiao, who was protecting Jiaojiao like an old hen protecting a baby, he felt that this was like a family. If he marries Yan Jiaorao, his mother-in-law will definitely give him the same love as his mother, and Murong Feng is immersed in the yearning for happiness.

"If you can't go, I'll be stupid and leave you here alone."

"Uncle, as a father-in-law, you should be broad-minded, and you can't change your brother-in-law's face just because your beloved sister is going to get married, which is not good."

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me about the situation in Hongyi Country."

In the main hall of Murong Mansion in Wuzhou Mansion, high-ranking officials from the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion gathered here, and Murong Feng stood in front of a sea chart and talked eloquently.

"My lord, colleagues, Murong Feng has benefited a lot from going to Hongyi Country. Hongyi is the most powerful country among overseas countries, and has now annexed more than a dozen small countries around it, and has a tendency to unify overseas. Hongyi is an island country with a territory equivalent to Nanyi. Due to the geographical environment, the Hongyi people have a persevering and fighting character. It can be said that this country is a powerful country built on warships, and it can also be said that it is an extremely adventurous country. The strength of its sailors ranks first among overseas countries, and for thousands of years, their ancestors have conquered the surrounding island countries, creating a navy that can fight well. The pirates that roam the open seas are actually the detachments of the Red Empire. ”

"They coveted Nanyi a long time ago, but they didn't have their hands free because they were conquering other countries at the time. On this trip to the Hongyi Kingdom, they found that their king, Charles VIII, was assembling a powerful expeditionary fleet with the intention of conquering Nanyi in one fell swoop. For this reason, my subordinates and I went to great lengths to attend a private party of their commander in chief, Duke Deriman, and I can say with certainty that the Red Yi Kingdom has made up its mind to attack Nanyi. ”

"Their expeditionary fleet has been assembled and is using Phuket, five hundred miles from Nanyi, as a transit point and a base for attack. Phuket is currently a large uninhabited island, surrounded by deep water and a natural haven, with enough land to house an army of 100,000 people. Therefore, I suggest that Phuket should be taken and built into a base for us to advance and a base from which we dominate the oceans. In this way, you can control the territory of the open sea, attack, retreat and defend, and control the ocean in the palm of your hand. ”

"It's good that there is a vast ocean on this continent in addition to land, and it is also full of wealth and opportunity. It is believed that in the near future, the country that controls the seas will be the most powerful country in the world. The civilization of the sea will be the representative of science and progress, and the blue sea is a treasure given to us by God, which only those with courage and strength can hold in their hands. Heaven has given us this opportunity, so what are we waiting for? We are strong on land, and we are equally strong on the sea. We will face difficulties and challenges, so please tell me, are you afraid? Niu Tianci asked everyone loudly.

"Don't be afraid!"

"You have made a choice that will be remembered by future generations, and the names of each of you will be remembered in the annals of history, and your descendants will be proud and proud of your decision. I ordered Yue Jingbo, the Metropolitan Governor of the Southern Fleet, and Yang Ligong, the Metropolitan Governor of the Northern Fleet, to form a joint fleet to seize Phuket and annihilate the Hongyi Expeditionary Fleet. We want them to understand that they are not the only powerful countries in the world, and we must let everyone in the world know that the Flying Tiger Battle Flag refers to my domain, and there are dragon flags fluttering wherever the sun shines. ”

"The Flying Tiger Battle Banner refers to my domain, and wherever the sun shines, there are dragon flags fluttering."

Everyone was excited, look, this is the bearing of the king of the world, this is the spirit of the sonic shock of the universe and the four seas. With such a lord, why can't he be immortal, why can't he make contributions.

"That, my lord. Before Murong Feng came back, he gave Hongyi Kingdom a big gift. ”

"Oh? How big is it? ”

"Great, at Duke Deliman's private party, I gave them a few thunderbolts."

"Dozens?"

"Well, probably a hundred. Anyway, in addition to Derryman, even their king, Charles VIII, was blown away. ”

Coax, everyone burst into laughter, this Murong Feng is simply bold, this thunderbolt is estimated to have put the high-level of Hongyi Country to the nest. Yan Hui looked at Murong Feng and said, "I suspect that this expeditionary fleet was brought in by you, I remember telling you that now is not the time for us to go on a large-scale expedition overseas, have you forgotten?" ”

"Your Majesty, uh no. My lord, even if I don't do this, they will come, they are not fundamentally different from the Rong Lu on the grassland, and they are even more aggressive than the Rong Lu, so it is a matter of time. Besides, with the strength of our two fleets, it is more than enough to destroy the expeditionary fleet and seize Phuket. As long as we destroy the expeditionary fleet, we will be able to secure our seas and look at the oceans. Wait for Your Majesty, uh the minister should die. After the lord sweeps away the captives and dominates the country, it is time for us to conquer the open sea and dominate the sea. This is the "Treatise on Sea Control" that I wrote, which describes in detail my superficial understanding of sea power, and I ask the Lord to teach me. ”

"The general idea is good, but there are some immature places. Since everyone is interested, then I will tell you what is the power of the sea. ”

"The so-called sea supremacy is the control of a certain sea area by a belligerent party at a certain time. The purpose is to ensure the freedom of movement of one's own forces at sea and to deprive the enemy's forces of freedom of movement at sea; To protect the safety of one's own maritime traffic and to prevent the enemy's maritime traffic, even if the maritime area is used by oneself and not by the enemy. According to the purpose, scope and duration of controlling the maritime area, it is divided into strategic sea dominance, campaign sea dominance and tactical sea dominance. The right to control the sea is not absolute, and in the case that the superior side obtains the overall sea supremacy, the inferior side may also obtain the right to control the sea in a local sea area within a certain period of time. Therefore, seizing and maintaining sea supremacy can only be achieved through the comprehensive use of the navy's various combat forces, weapons, and various combat styles. ”

"The main points to be followed in the seizure of sea supremacy are as follows:

1. Correctly handle the relationship between strategic sea supremacy and campaign and tactical sea supremacy. Although strategic sea supremacy plays a major role in the overall situation of maritime operations, it cannot replace the campaign and tactical naval supremacy necessary for every maritime operation. In the absence of strategic sea supremacy, it is still possible to gain campaign and tactical supremacy by making subjective efforts to form local superiority.

2. Correctly handle the relationship between operations to seize sea supremacy and other naval operations. Naval supremacy operations are the focus of the struggle for sea supremacy, but other operations also play a positive role in coordinating naval supremacy operations.

3. Correctly handle the relationship between peacetime preparations and wartime needs. Therefore, in peacetime, it is necessary to make all kinds of operational preparations in light of the enemy's possible attempts, the tasks of controlling the sea that the navy needs to accomplish in war, and the characteristics of the sea zone in the future.

Fourth, properly handle the relationship between the power of control and the degree of control. In the struggle for sea supremacy, it is necessary to correctly and rationally use all kinds of forces, carefully organize the coordinated actions between the naval divisions and the landing combat units, and give full play to the overall power to ensure the success of the sea supremacy operation. The control of different sea areas should be carried out according to the limits of one's ability, and different degrees of control should be adopted. For example, a country with weak maritime power will ensure sea supremacy in the near sea, strive for partial sea supremacy in the middle sea, and undermine or weaken the enemy's sea supremacy in the far sea.

Fifth, correctly resolve the relationship between control and anti-control. The struggle for sea supremacy runs through the entire war, and the slightest carelessness may lead to loss. Actively contending for and maintaining sea supremacy should be combined with preventing the enemy from seizing sea supremacy. “

"The main method of seizing sea supremacy

1. Destroy the enemy's naval battle formations. This is the basic method of seizing sea supremacy. It is usually used when there is an advantage in troops, fighters and a favorable situation. Depending on the situation of the opposing sides in all aspects, it can be accomplished through a major decisive battle, or it can be achieved through multiple campaigns and battles.

2. Destroy enemy bases, ports, and important targets on the shore. The adoption of such an approach should be determined by the circumstances of one's own forces, weapons and deployment at the time. The targets of the attack include enemy bases, combat forces and important facilities in ports, shore command centers, shipbuilding centers, and transportation hubs......

3. Blockade the enemy's bases, ports, and straits and key routes through which the enemy's forces must pass, and prevent his maritime forces from entering and leaving the bases or entering the predetermined sea areas.

4. Carry out landing or land operations to seize bases, straits, communication arteries, or islands and shores that are of great significance for sea supremacy, and improve or create favorable conditions for controlling the seas.

The above combat methods can be used alone or in combination with several methods. (To be continued.) )
