Chapter 137: The Black-Armored Spirit Rider Who Pulls the Wind
100,000 taels of silver bought off the garrison eunuch Li Rui, and 600,000 taels of silver settled the 6 departments and 72 divisions of Nanzhili. and eighteen garrisons. Na Haonan felt that it was worth it.
At the beginning, Huang Zupei and Deng Haonan only bought Li Rui. But Deng Haonan knows very well that the ** of the Ming bureaucracy has rotted to the roots. It is not enough to just buy off the eunuch Li Rui. There is a way that is difficult for little ghosts, and he wants to mix in Nanzhili. Then it is not possible to settle the six departments and seventy-two divisions, as well as the health offices of the prefectures.
Especially in Songjiang Mansion, the Nanyang Navy Division base of Na Haonan is at the Wuhongkou Wharf guarded by the thousands of households in the Wuhongjiang River, which is indispensable to dot up and down.
If Deng Haonan wants to establish contacts in a short period of time, he needs to sprinkle gold and silver. Fortunately, Nanzhili is enough**. Otherwise, it won't matter if you spill money!
As soon as the dots were completed, the big officials of Nanzhier all regarded Na Haonan, the newly promoted commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, as the god of wealth and a cash cow. For Di Haonan's requirements, from top to bottom, it is a green light, unimpeded, and responsive.
Deng Haonan used money to build a bridge between him and the Nanzhili bureaucracy, and Li Rui, the eunuch guarding the town, immediately said that he would immediately open the Longjiang Shipyard in an all-round way. The craftsmen went to work to build a ship for Deng Haonan.
However, since the end of the Battle of Luliang twenty years ago. The Longjiang Shipyard is empty and in arrears of salaries to craftsmen.
For this reason, Na Haonan naturally couldn't let Li Rui pay money to make up for the financial deficit, so he once again paid out of his own pocket and allocated 200,000 taels of silver to make up the salaries of the workers. This is equivalent to sending 200,000 taels of silver to Li Rui and other officials of Nanzhili again. Helped them fill the gap. Therefore, Li Rui, together with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry of Nanzhili, directly merged the Longjiang Shipyard under the command of the Admiral of the Nanyang Naval Division, and handed it over to Deng Haonan with full authority.
Na Haonan secretly scolded in his heart, this group of *** actually let him pay for the shipbuilding by himself, and they gave Deng Haonan the site and workers. But it is eating the financial subsidies of the central government to Longjiang Shipyard every year.
Comparatively speaking, it is Li Rui who is shrewd. Holding Deng Haonan's bribe in his left hand. In his right hand, he holds the appropriation of the imperial court, but the shipyard does not have to worry about them, and he is responsible for it.
It seems that Di Haonan is at a loss, but in fact it is the opposite.
Deng Haonan's own shipyard can start construction of up to two 500-ton frigates at the same time, including Subic's Zhaojia shipyard. Only six ships can be started at the same time. And Zheng Zhilong has eight brothers, a large shipyard, and twelve small shipyards. As long as the funds are in place, 40 500-ton warships, or 28 1,000-ton warships, can be started at the same time.
After that Haonan got the Longjiang Shipyard. In half a year, a fleet of 100 500-ton frigates, or 40 1,000-ton cruisers, or five legendary treasure ships can be organized. And according to the contrast of the appeal of the two. Deng Haonan can use the identity of the commander of the Nanyang Navy to expand the scale of the Longjiang Shipyard to the scale of Zheng He's Western era, so that the advantages will be more obvious.
Of course, this refers to the situation where all the materials for shipbuilding are complete, and in order to create a large-scale production, it is necessary to harvest high-quality timber on a large scale, so it is necessary to cut down the high-quality timber and dry it into warship timber. During this period, it will take another two years for the cycle to resume normally. In other words, if Longjiang Shipyard wants to reach the scale of its heyday, it normally takes one to two years of operation.
But. The Longjiang shipyard in front of him was enough for Na Haonan to use.
At the moment, Deng Haonan is not ready to start a war with Zheng Zhilong, but first waits for Zheng Zhilong's sharpness to disappear. When financial resources are tight, we will do it again.
Therefore, Di Haonan was preparing to attack Zheng Zhilong's trading fleet, so that he could not only attack Zheng Zhilong, but also make up for his own financial expenditures. It is also possible to train the navy and achieve the goal of nourishing war with war.
Because Zheng Zhilong's warships are as numerous as cows. Therefore, Deng Haonan chose the 500-ton Exocet-class frigate as a fleet for raids and assaults.
That is, specifically to break the warring fleet.
The Twin Islands shipyard stopped building Exocet-class frigates and instead served as a research dock for the Navy Shipyard, specializing in the research and design of better warships.
Originally, twenty Exocet-class frigates were built, but at this time they got the Longjiang Shipyard. Deng Haonan suddenly increased the number to sixty. Follow the standard schedule. The degree of one ship every two months. Na Haonan demanded that all sixty Exocet-class frigates be completed within half a year.
The hull is an oriental hull, but the sails are Western soft sails. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer personnel from the old battalion to the Longjiang Shipyard to command.
Meanwhile. The Flying Fish originally designed by Deng Haonan became a test ship, and the old battalion began to study the fast cruiser according to Deng Haonan's instructions.
The cruiser is the battleship of the main decisive battle, so in addition to the degree of consideration, it is necessary to take into account the firepower.
When it comes to firepower, there is no other way. It can only increase the number of guns, which is supplemented by a corresponding increase in firing and range. The wide hull on the eastern spire obviously could not be arranged with more gun decks, so it was impossible to assemble more guns, so the cruiser still used the Spanish Galen cruiser as a reference.
Deng Haonan resolutely cracked down on the hull design of the front and rear warped buttocks, requiring the ship to move forward with a high freeboard to break the waves, but the hull and stern required horizontal. in order to lay out more artillery.
In this era, the hit rate of both sides in naval battles is actually not much different, the battleships are all wooden, and the level of protection is much the same, so it is undoubtedly who has more guns and who takes advantage. This was one of the main reasons why battleships with three gun decks were able to be arrogant.
Under the left and right of Deng Haonan, the first stage of cruising
Na Haonan named it the Dolphin-class first-class cruiser. The ship Dolphin will start tomorrow in April of the sixth year. Construction started at the Xiaonanshan Naval Shipyard and is expected to be completed in July, sea trials in August, and officially put into service in January of the seventh year of the Apocalypse.
The Dolphin 1st class sail cruiser, long Wu meter, wide mouth meter. Draught blade rice. Mainmast Gaunumy. Displacement of tons of tons, three-masted Western soft sails. The foremast and mainmast are hung with crosssails, the foremast is hung with a large triangular sail, and the diamast is hung with a four-sided jib. The front features ramming, a high freeboard wave protection design, and a square stern. Equipped with 44 Apocalypse five-year God of War guns, double-deck guns, and symmetrical layout. The middle two floors are arranged on the upper and lower floors to facilitate unified command and timely transmission of orders. Carrying strong people, under the whole wind. Maximal oral segments. Endurance time: Moon-destroying.
Overall, the Dolphin-class cruiser is an enlarged version of the Exocet-class frigate. Just to increase the stability of the artillery layout, the circumference of the upper deck was reduced, which naturally led the lower gun deck to look like a big belly.
The addition of artillery naturally took into account the stability of the battleship when firing, so Deng Haonan played to increase the draft of the battleship, so that even if it was a high mast, it was not as powerful as the Western warship. In order to increase the degree of the battleship, Na Haonan asked the Dolphin to wrap copper under the waterline of the hull to reduce frictional resistance. At the same time, the design of multi-layer water barrier compartment has been adopted inside the orbital body to enhance the battle
In terms of defense, the hulls of the Dolphin-class cruisers were wrapped in iron sheets. After being attacked by shells in this way, because the iron sheet is malleable and elastic, it will not lightly splash around and injure the crew and gunner, and the wooden thorns inside are wrapped in iron sheets, and will not fly around and injure personnel.
After the Dolphin-class cruiser was finalized, it was already spring in April. Reconnaissance reported that Nurhachi had shrunk the Houjin army. And there are signs of another expedition. Meantime. Huang Taiji formed two battalions of Mongolian cavalry. The number is around 20,000.
After Mao Wenlong learned that Na Haonan and Yuan Chonghuan had won a great victory, he knew that the vitality of the shoes was greatly damaged. So he gathered 20,000 Ming troops and attacked the dangerous mountain fort and Zhenjiang fort in Dingliaoyouning.
The battle was victorious, killing a bull and killing more than 100 Lezi.
hit
Lezi first heard that Nurhachi was defeated and the Ming army won a great victory, so his morale was low, and Nurhachi gathered his troops, so the dangerous mountain fort and Zhenjiang fort were ceded to Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong was a little unconvinced at first. Seeing that Lezi lost two fortresses, his morale was greatly boosted. And released three bold words, recovering Shenyang in January.
However, this is exactly the strategy of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji. Because at this time, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were preparing to make an expedition to the Mongol Golkor to maintain the Manchu-Mongolian alliance. And if you want to go on an expedition to Kharko, you must prevent Mao Wenlong's attack, so Huang Taiji made a plan to let Mao Wenlong's army go deep alone.
Mao Wenlong led the army commander to drive straight in, and soon captured Tangzhanbao and Xilie Station, and surrounded the right guard of Liao. That is, Phoenix.
At this time, Mao Wenlong sent a letter to Yuan Chonghuan and made an appointment to send troops to capture Shenyang together, in fact, he also knew that he could not fight alone to save his son. Therefore, I hope that Yuan Chonghuan can attract the main force of the rescuer.
Yuan Chonghuan was born as a literati. Naturally, he looked down on Mao Wenlong, a martial artist. And he was a thug who was born as a pirate, so he refused to send troops on the grounds of the order of Cui Wenxiu of the Ministry of War. However, he secretly prepared to cross the Liao River to attack Lezi in private.
Yuan Chonghuan naturally hoped to confuse Lezi by expressing the smokescreen of not sending troops, so that Lezi's main force could concentrate on Mao Wenlong, and then Yuan Chonghuan could swing his army and attack Shenyang.
It can be said that both of them are holding to let the other attack first. Suck the main force of the shoes and weaken the opponent's attitude at the same time.
And Nurhachi obviously thought that Yuan Chonghuan would not attack, so the main force attacked Mao Wenlong, allowing Mao Wenlong to go back to the idea.
According to the defense of Phoenix, Mao Wenlong did not carry heavy siege weapons because he marched too fast. At the same time, wait for Yuan Chonghuan to advance. So it only took one day to cut down wood to build siege weapons, but he wasted three days.
And Nurhachi took the opportunity to send troops. Nurhachi personally led 20,000 Mongol cavalry, known as 100,000. Out of Dongningwei, march to the Songjin area where Yuan Chonghuan was stationed.
Yuan Chonghuan thought that the main direction of his godson's attack was Songjin, so he gave up the idea of crossing the river to attack. Instead, he returned to Jinzhou.
And Huang Taiji, Dai Shan and Amin led 80,000 main forces of godsons. quietly drove to the right guard of Dingliao, preparing to kill Mao Wenlong in one fell swoop and relieve his worries.
Mao Wenlong believed that the main force of Sanzi attacked Yuan Chonghuan, so he forcibly attacked the city on the fourth day, and the level of defending the city was very poor, and in less than half a day, Mao Wenlong occupied the right guard of Dingliao.
However, what he never expected was that Dai Shan's cavalry was very fast, and in half a day, they wiped out the 1,000 Ming troops that Mao Wenlong was guarding at Xilie Station. But Mao Wenlong didn't realize that the danger was approaching.
Five days. Mao Wenlong led the main force of more than 15,000 Ming troops to continue to march to Shenyang. Mao Wenlong, as a veteran of the battlefield, quickly smelled the danger.
He hurriedly asked his subordinates if he had received a report from the Ming army sentry in front of him. As a result, the subordinates all shook their heads and said that they had not received it since yesterday afternoon.
Mao Wenlong immediately knew that something had happened to the 1,000 Ming troops at the Xilie Station, and he urgently ordered the whole army to withdraw to Phoenix City. And yet at this moment. Huang Taiji's 40,000 cavalry came from both sides.
Mao Wenlong's army did not have a large number of firearms from the Ming army in Liaodong. And most of them were infantry, and they were suddenly attacked by the elite cavalry of their godson, and the formation was suddenly chaotic.
When Mao Wenlong saw the main force of Lezi appear, he immediately knew that he had been fooled, so he ordered the infantry to resist
More than 10,000 Ming army infantry were quickly wiped out, and in less than three hours, even if 10,000 pigs were caught, it was not so fast. But that's the truth, Mao Wenlong's ass didn't sit firmly, and his shoes were covered up in Phoenix.
Mao Wenlong knew that the big thing had gone, and hurriedly fled from the east gate with more than 2,000 cavalry.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the east gate, Amin and Daishan each brought 20,000 rescuers to cover up from the north and south. and blocked the way back to Phoenix after Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong led a cadre of generals. I had to hold on to the heart of death, kill one to be enough, kill two, and earn one.
Lezi was defeated by the Ming army before, and he had palpitations, seeing that Mao Wenlong and others were desperate, he didn't dare to do his best. So after several rushes and killings, Mao Wenlong led more than 200 generals to rush out of the encirclement, and the wolf bèi fled back to Phi Island.
Huang Taiji failed to kill Mao Wenlong. There was some disappointment in my heart. But the set plan was completed. leveled Mao Wenlong. Within half a year, Mao Wenlong did not have any power to harass Houjin. Therefore, after the war, Huang Taiji led the main force of 80,000 wheels to Haizhou Wei to join Nurhachi. Leaving 20,000 Mongol cavalry to guard the house, the main force of 80,000 Lezi crossed the Liao River again. Mao Wenlong failed miserably, although it was not once or twice, but it still made Deng Haonan a little unhappy.
He had already sent someone to inform Mao Wenlong and strictly ordered him not to fight.
Because Deng Haogou was preparing to sneak attack Jinzhouwei, if Mao Wenlong provoked the shoes and Daozhì Lezi strengthened the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula, it would inevitably affect Deng Haonan's plan.
Now Mao Wenlong actually defied Deng Haonan's order and went to war without authorization. Deng Haonan was very annoyed.
However, fortunately, Nurhachi did not strengthen the defense of Liaodong. On the contrary, he thought that Mao Wenlong had no threat and went out of the nest, which could be said to be more beneficial to Deng Haonan's plan.
Captain Zhan Zengyong said excitedly: "It looks like we can execute the calculation in advance."
Captain Shi Jianfei hit him with a smile and said: "The principal's plan to attack Jinzhouwei is mainly based on the navy and the 6th team, and after taking Jinzhouwei, the main defense will be the main defense, not the attack!" Besides, the place of Jinzhou Wei is not suitable for cavalry combat! ”
Captain Zhan Zengyong said: "Nurhachi's army has left Shenyang, once the principal takes Jinzhouwei, he can use cavalry to attack Shenyang, and he can go down every day!" ”
Captain Shi Jianfei continued to strike at him and said: "Don't forget that there are still 20,000 Mongolian cavalry, and your 10,000 cavalry have been trained for less than two, and they are all recruits who have not reached the privates, and they will go up and send them to death."
Na Hao Nan waved off their words and said, "It is indeed a good opportunity for Nurhachi's army to leave the lair!" It is entirely possible for cavalry to rush to Shenyang! ”
Zhan Zengyong glanced at Shi Jianfei demonstratively, and his eyes told him. "I just said that the principal would not let go of this opportunity."
Shi Jianfei replied with his eyes, "Don't be complacent, the principal hasn't finished talking yet?"
That Haonan didn't pay attention to the eyes of the two of them, all dynasties, at home and abroad, the two armies of the Navy 6 have always disobeyed each other!
This thing is not a problem that he can change, unless the war horse can swim in the sea and the battleship can run on 6 ground!
"Let's talk about it depending on the situation."
Shi Jianfei:
Zhan Zengyong:
Na Haonan turned to Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng and asked, "How are our supplies prepared?"
Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng replied, "One qiē ready!" has been shipped to Juehua Island".
Then he said: "We have found a small island near the old Tieshan waterway on the Liaodong Peninsula. It turned out to be a garrison base when Mao Wenlong opened the Dongjiang River, and later Jinzhou Wei was lost, and Mao Wenlong retreated to Phi Island. Now it's borderland, called Imperial City Island. The 3,000 Navy 6 Squadron will leave for Huangcheng Island tomorrow. Another 5,000 remaining sets of cavalry equipment have been built! The Headmaster can raise 10,000 ironclad heavy cavalry."
Captain Zhan Zengyong suddenly said, "The principal hasn't named these 10,000 cavalrymen yet?"
Na Haonan nodded and said, "That's what I said!" Now that the cavalry has been formed, there should be a name for pulling the wind! What do you guys think?
Zhan Zeng Yong said: "The cavalry is the most courageous in Qin, Han and Tang. The Mengjia Army of the Qin Dynasty, the Fat Cavalry Army of the Han Dynasty, the Wuwei Army of the Tang Dynasty, and the Weiwei Army of the Tang Dynasty. Our Ming cavalry has long lost its prestige."
Lin Feng said: "The tiger and leopard riding of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms is also very popular! ”
Na Haonan nodded and said, "The names are all good!" But let's have our own characteristics! For example, our cavalry helmets are all red tassels, which are similar to the fat horses of the Han Dynasty. Our cavalry steel armor is black and bright, although it is not as heavy as the armor of the Tang Dynasty Wuwei and Weiwei. But harder than theirs. ”
Deng Haonan thought about it, so he divided the cavalry into six guards, including Long Wuwei, Leopard Taowei, Yingyangwei, Yulinwei, Fat Cavalry Guard, and Xiao Cavalry Guard, with five battalions for each guard. Two thousand cavalry per battalion, for a total of ten thousand cavalry.
At present, there are only 10,000 cavalry, so it is named after the black armor elite cavalry, and then after the meritorious service of each cavalry in the future. It is then named by its official name. The black armor elite cavalry was led by Zhan Zengyong, Shen Xiufang, Du Yongchen, Wang Yuanlong and others.
As soon as he was ready, Di Haonan ordered Huang Zupei, Sigou and others to stay in the old camp, while he wanted to personally carry out the plan. Capture Jinzhouwei in Liaodong.
