Standing on the top of the hard head mountain, Zheng Kezhang overlooked the rippling bay at his feet, only to see several trestle bridges made of cement extending from the embankment to the bay, and all kinds of ships of all sizes were directly tied to the trestle or simply moored on the sea farther away, dotted around, with a peculiar sense of charm and beauty.
Back at the foot of Hardhead Mountain, Zheng Kezhang saw a naval fortress with more than ten shore fire cannons, and its artillery fire should be able to form a closed bay cross fire with the Kowloon West Fortress on the opposite bank; Looking to the east, with the help of telescopes, you can faintly see two similar fortresses used to seal the carp's mouth; Of course, in addition to the garrison fortification of Xiangshan Ao Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, there are more small forts and beacons in Jishui Gate, Ma Wan, Fotang Gate and other places.
"The Xiangshanao Town Guard Yamen has four fortress regiments, two baggage regiments and twelve garrisons under the jurisdiction of the Fubo Army." As if sensing Zheng Kezang's shift in gaze, Admiral Ma Ying of the Western Fleet hurriedly introduced. "There are four large fortifications, one barracks, one military station, and ten small forts in Xiangshanao and the outlying islands."
"In addition, the Xiangshanao town guard Yamen still has 16 small notification ships with 800 to 2,000 materials, cruising east to Dapeng Bay and west to Wanshan Islands, although they can't go to Dongsha and other foreign oceans, at least Xiangshanao can still know the movements around them." Yang Yi, the town guard of Xiangshanao, who was preempted by Ma Ying, was not far behind, and added. "In addition to the notification ships used for patrols, the town guard envoy Yamen also has four military transport ships with 4,000 materials, one military transport ship with 6,000 materials, and two military transportation ships with 10,000 materials."
Yang Yi's chattering introduction made Ma Ying and the others on the side frown, but the other party was both a colleague and a classmate, so naturally it was not good to say anything, and Zheng Kezhang also listened to it with relish, and Ma Ying had to accompany him with a bitter face.
Ma Ying's unnaturalness, Zheng Kezhang also noticed it. Regarding the open and secret battle between Ma Ying and Yang Yi, Zheng Kezhang is also aware of it. Ma Ying didn't say anything, one hand was taken by Zheng Kezang, and Yang Yi was born in the Tongziying Jiayin period like Ma Ying, Gong Tian and others, except for the grandson of Zheng Chenggong's general Yang Zu and the son of the general.
It's just that Yang Yi has been serving in the 6th Division before, and he has achieved the highest position of the commander of the first division of the Longwu Army, but both the fifth and the fourth grades are a hurdle, and it is very difficult to stand out from the unretired boy camp teachers and classmates in the Jiayin period, so he had to find another way to go out of the town from the field army, so as to achieve the goal of being promoted to the captain of the fourth rank.
However, although Yang Yi's goal has been achieved, the road to go up is already very narrow, so he is very jealous of Ma Ying, Gong Tian and other generals of the Dry Water Division, who have already been crowned with the title of Captain of the Sanpin Xiao Cavalry, so Yang Yi did not burn and said a lot of bad things about the Sailor Division in his correspondence with his colleagues in the 6th Division, and even some rumors and rumors reached Zheng Kezang's ears.
It stands to reason that some of Yang Yi's practices have crossed the line, and he must be warned by slandering his colleagues, but Zheng Kezhang has never expressed his position on this, which is naturally a certain consideration. Perhaps in Zheng Kezang's eyes, classmates, fellow villagers, and fellow parties are all the abysses of the troubled government, so the division of factions within the boy boy camp is what he is happy to see.
"Is there still Qiongshan Port, Qinzhou Bay, and Cam Ranh Bay in the defense area of the Western Fleet?" Listen, Zheng Kezhang suddenly asked. "How is the defense of these places compared to Xiangshan Ao?"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Ma Ying's response: "Back to the king's words, the three defenses are still inferior to Xiangshan Ao." β
Zheng Kezhang nodded, there is nothing strange about this, after all, military spending is limited, so it is naturally necessary to use it on the blade, not to mention that Xiangshanao is the station of the Western Fleet Office, even from the perspective of window dressing, it is not that only a few ships are stationed in the other three military ports can be compared.
So Zheng Kezhang asked again: "How many ships are stationed in each of the four military ports now?" β
"Your Majesty, the ships of the naval division have always been four in a team, except for the cruiser fleet, which is not yet fully staffed, and now the Western fleet is full." Ma Ying responded. "Because the cruiser fleet has to protect Guanghui, it has always been stationed in Xiangshanao, and in addition, there is also a team of second-class cruisers, a team of first-class and second-class notification ships, and a team of first-class and second-class notification ships stationed in Xiangshanao Military Port." Ma Ying wrenched her fingers. "Most of the military convoys of the Western Fleet are also stationed in Xiangshanao, and as for Jinranh and other places, a team of patrol ships and a team of notification ships are stationed all year round."
Zheng Kezhang did the math and immediately asked the question: "Not counting the small notification ships directly under the yamen of the town guards, doesn't the Western Fleet have twenty first- and second-class cruisers?" Why is there one less team, and as for the thirty-two ships, shouldn't it be eight teams? Why did Lone hear you say that there are only four teams? β
"What the king said is very true, the Western Fleet cruise ships are indeed divided into five teams, but there will be problems such as barnacles and maggots on the sea for a long time, so they must be repaired in rotation every six months, and the remaining team will be repaired." Ma Ying pointed to Kowloon on the other side. "Although Xiangshanao cannot build large boats, it has the ability to repair four 7,000-material cruisers or two 10,000-material cruisers at a time." Following Ma Ying's guidance, Zheng Kezhang picked up the telescope and looked at the boat yard on the other side, only to hear Ma Ying continue. "In fact, the ships under repair are also the last reserves of the Western Fleet."
The fleet that has not been berthed is actually being repaired, and there is still a bit of a loophole in this explanation, but Zheng Kezhang believes that no one dares to move so much on the number of ships in service, so he still agrees with Ma Ying's explanation, but Ma Ying has not explained the issue of the notification ship, so Zheng Kezhang did not express his position, but just listened attentively.
Ma Ying continued: "As for the notification ships, in fact, in addition to the special notification fleet, the rest of the cruiser fleets and notification fleets each have two notification ships, so the king knows that the thirty-two notification ships cannot actually be organized into eight teams. β
Zheng Kezhang suddenly realized that he had miscalculated in this way, well, it is true, there are a total of twenty notification ships in the five teams, and the other twelve are exactly two in each team and are assigned to the cruisers and cruise fleets stationed in various military ports.
The problem was solved, but Zheng Kezhang asked coldly: "Ma Qing, the sea is vast, and the teams are scattered in various ports, how can they echo each other, and how can they guard this sea area?" β
The same question has been asked to Peng Gaochang before, but the status is different, and the answer to the response is also different: "Your Majesty, it is not the duty of the ministers to guard the port, forgive the ministers for courage, in fact, the ministers should be on the sea for thousands of miles, and compete with the strong cowards, as for the responsibility of guarding the household, it should be borne by the guards everywhere." β
Zheng Kezhang knew that it must be Peng Gaochang who told Ma Ying about his question, but it was okay, Ma Ying's answer was exactly what he wanted, so he smiled and said: "Ma Qing's words are very lonely, the sailor, the dragon of the sea, and the lonely giant gold and silver to build a ship for it, not to be confined to the inland sea port." Another example is the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past, moving to the sea and guarding the mouth, the so-called strategies are full of strategies, what is the use, only by competing for the sea can the enemy be deterred from driving straight in. β
Ma Ying was still listening to the lesson, but Yang Yi immediately knelt down: "The king's lesson is every word, and the minister must understand it well."
was messed up by Yang Yi like this, Ma Ying had no choice but to lead the water division to kneel on the ground, and said in unison: "Wait."
Looking at the military attachΓ©s who followed Ma Ying to turn over and kneel, Zheng Kezang's eyes suddenly brightened, and he didn't know what good or bad things he thought of, an intriguing smile appeared on his face, but he said in his mouth: "Get up, don't do this kind of thing in the future, you have to see the truth."
Ma Ying and the others climbed up, and Zheng Kezhang asked again: "Where is the first division of the Longxiang Army now?" β
The nature of the Longxiang Army and the Fubo Army is completely different. In terms of personnel and finances, the town guard envoy Yamen is under the management of the Ministry of War, and in terms of scheduling, it belongs to the Privy Council and the Privy Council. As for the divisions of the Longxiang Army, regardless of the official rank of the division commander, they are also the captain of the three ranks, but they are completely subordinate to the 6th battle unit under the management of the fleet, and the Admiralty of each foreign fleet has direct command over them.
Therefore, Ma Ying can answer directly without thinking about it: "King Qiqi, the first division of the Longxiang Army is currently divided into three divisions, of which the commander Zhen Ying Zhen led the command, the artillery corps, the baggage regiment, the middle base regiment and the first brigade are stationed in Qiongzhou; Its second brigade is now in Lianzhou; The 3rd Brigade has been transferred to Cam Ranh Dadu Hufu, and only the Grenadier Regiment is currently stationed in Xiangshanao. β
Zheng Kezhang frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why don't you station some forces in Xibo Ni?" β
Ma Ying was stunned for a moment, he thought that Zheng Kezhang thought that the Western Fleet was dissatisfied with the lack of care for Xibo Mud, so he eagerly explained: "There are more than 1,000 people in the Long Xiang Army under the Protectorate of the West Bo Ni Metropolitan Protectorate, but this department is not in the formation of the First Division of the Long Xiang Army, as for the water division, Xi Bo Ni also has its own local fleet."
Zheng Kezhang sneered: "The Longxiang army is under the command of the capital protectorate, and the fleet is also under the command of the capital guard, is it possible that Xibo mud will become self-contained, Jinlan is still the capital protectorate, why do you still rely on the help of the Western fleet for everything." β
It was as if a gust of wind was blowing on the face, whether it was Ma Ying or Yang Yi who were present, they only felt a cold air pouring down from the top of their heads. Yes, there is only a thin line between self-struggle and self-reliance, in case the superior misunderstands, it is a major event where tens of millions of heads fall to the ground, and a group of people naturally dare not contaminate this cause and effect at will.
Others can keep silent, but Ma Ying can't, so he hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth to say, "The king is afraid."
Zheng Kezhang waved his hand: "It's not that they can't do their own thing, it's just that since the Qing and others are cruising the Western Ocean, they have the responsibility of supervising the various protectorates, and if something goes wrong, they can't escape punishment, and the Qing and others will also be implicated." β
"Minister, minister understands." Ma Ying replied. "The king can rest assured, and the minister immediately dispatched capable men to stationed in Xiboni, thinking that the fleet was a station."
"Very well, get up." After Ma Ying stood up again, Zheng Kezhang swept the bay in front of him again. "Lone just heard Yang Qing say that this mountain is called Hardhead Mountain? This name is not good, so the name is Taiping, and it will be called Taiping Mountain in the future, I hope you can protect the Taiping of the sea and the frontier of this domain! β
The courtiers knelt down again and chanted: "The courtiers should remember the king's teachings"
