The Dutch blockade of Cam Ranh Bay naturally attracted the attention of neighboring countries and regions such as Quang Nam, Bintong Long, Ha Xian, and Jiading, but the Dutch came and went in a hurry, and Zheng Jun deliberately disrupted the organization to cover up the losses, which made the neighbors around Cam Ranh confused and once again convinced that Ming Zheng's power was unfathomable. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
In order to deal with Tang Shenzhi and deal with the further crises that may occur next, the Military Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department almost quarreled with each other, and the two sides refused to give in to each other, and the lawsuit was fought in front of Zheng Kezang, and Zheng Kezhang finally made a ruling in person.
"The recklessness of the Tang Dynasty and the disparity in the combat strength of the enemy and us led to the dismissal of the commander of Quang Nam (Detachment Fleet)." In front of the officials of the Cam Ranh Governor's Mansion and the Quang Nam Detachment, the pedestrians from the Department of Communications calmly read out the edict in their hands. "Transferred to the Sailor School to teach and see the after-effects."
Tang Shenzhi breathed a sigh of relief, although he was dismissed, but he was transferred to the Sailor School without investigating and handling it, obviously Zheng Kezhang was merciful, so he immediately knelt down and bowed to the Huang Ben's edict in the hands of pedestrians: "Minister Tang Shenzhi's order!" ”
Watching Tang Shenzhi receive the edict from the pedestrians, the people who accompanied the bundle just breathed a sigh of relief, but before the formation dispersed, they heard the pedestrians say: "A few adults, slow down, there is still an edict from the lord here." ”
And another edict? Everyone looked at each other, but the shock turned to shock, and the group had to bend down again to listen.
"The officers and men of Quang Nam were not afraid of the many cannons of the Hongyi ships, bravely engaged the enemy, and although there were losses, they were finally forced to retreat, and they were all awarded a bronze medal for courage and courage and a commemorative medal for the Battle of Cam Ranh Naval Battle, and reported to the whole domain as a reward. In addition, the officers and soldiers who died in the war were given acres of land and slaves in Jinlan."
The officers and men of the Guangnan Detachment from Tang Shenzhi and below had tears in their eyes, knelt down and bowed: "Your ministers thank the Lord for your grace." ”
"The Lord values what you report." After the pedestrians who had finished conveying their will were invited by Cai Tong and others to have a drink, the people from the military academy here called a meeting of the captains of the Quang Nam detachment. "The lord thinks that the establishment of a group of two ships is better than the current establishment of three ships and one squadron of the naval division of this domain, so after discussion between the Military Affairs Department and the Senate of the Military Division, it was decided to reorganize the various departments of the naval division, with two ships as a group, two groups as a team, and two teams as a detachment, and at least one or more detachments at the fleet level, as for the original notification ships, they will be organized at the two levels of fleet and detachment."
"Ma Chengji, so the Quang Nam Squadron will also be expanded to eight gunboats?" Since Tan Anshang, the new commander of the detachment, had not arrived with him when he was cruising in the North Japan Sea, Chen Bao, who was temporarily acting as commander, asked in passing. "When will the shortfall be filled?"
"Not all for now." Ma Tao, who is known as Ma Cheng, who joined the army from Wupin, is the youngest son of the former Admiral's pro-army Xiao Riding Horse Xin, and he was also born in Jiayin, and he confessed to him in the same year he faced himself. "Not only can it not be matched, the Taishan will be transferred to the Zhoushan Squadron as the commander, the Yushan will be transferred to the Fubo Fleet as the Admiral's ship, the Qinshan will also be transferred to the Northern Fleet as the Admiral's ship, and the three 3,000 gunboats that have been replaced will be returned to the Guangnan Squadron to continue to maintain the size of the first team."
"Isn't this a weakening of the Quang Nam Detachment?" In the battle of Cam Ranh, two masts were first broken by the [Banten], and then the [Cape Town] that swept by the [Cape Town] hit the [Gushan] captain Wei Fang, who was on fire, shouted dissatisfied. "Last year, Dongning built eighteen gunboats with 3,000 materials a year, so why can't we give four of them to us now."
"That's it, that's it." If it can't be expanded to two teams, Chen Baoshun's position will be very embarrassing, unless he is willing to demote himself from the captain of the [Jinshan] to the first officer. "Quang Nam has to take into account the vast sea area from Lei Qiong to the mud, how can only four boats be enough, not to mention that the Dutch are still eyeing the tiger, in case of a comeback"
"Your situation is well understood by the Military Academy, but there are also difficulties on the side of the Military Affairs Department, not to mention the Zhoushan shipyard that can only repair ships, the meaning of the lord, Seogwipo and Ezo are going to build big ships in the future, and a Ezo shipyard can only be used for half a year, so it will continue to build a shipyard in Kugu, for which Dongning has moved out of four shipyards successively, and now even if it is fully engaged in shipbuilding, it will only produce nine or ten boats a year."
"Nine or ten is enough." Wei Fang muttered. "We're only going to have half of that."
"First, we want to expand the Zhoushan Detachment and the Northern Fleet into an army, and second, Dongning's ship materials have been exhausted." In the end, Ma Tao knows more of the inside story at the top level, and the reason why Dongning can go all out to produce in recent years is not because of Taiwan's local forests, but on the dismantled ship boards after the second capture of the Qing army ships attacking Taiwan. "The Lord has decided that in addition to ensuring the shipbuilding materials of the Zhenguo fleet, the Dongning Shipyard will temporarily maintain the speed of building six ships a year." The faces of the people of the Guangnan Detachment, who knew the inside story, were horrified, and Ma Tao smiled slightly at this time. "In fact, Cam Ranh's shipyard can be expanded, and it can build its own ship."
Hearing this, Chen Baoshun showed a look of sudden realization on his face: "That's right, but it's the case, there are many big trees in Guangnan and Laos, among which there are many good ship materials and keels such as teak, pear, sandalwood, and iron wood. ”
"Well said." Ma Tao applauded. "When it comes to sea trials, go straight to Dongning, receive artillery and sailors, and then you can become an army." Ma Tao was talking about the checks and balances that Zheng Kezhang painstakingly worked out after moving out of the shipyard, in the final analysis, to ensure his own overall control of the army, but externally, he claimed that it was because the governors were neither able to produce suitable cannons nor sufficient troops suitable for naval warfare. "By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you." Ma Tao paused. "According to the will of the Lord, each detachment and fleet shall be assigned an appropriate ship of fortune and a large ship as a transport ship."
"Carriers?" Tang Shenzhi, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly asked. "Weaving into these slow boats is a drag"
"Yes, yes." Ma Tao interrupted Tang Shenzhi's unfinished words. "But the lord has decided that in addition to the Zhenguo fleet, all fleets and sub-fleets will be incorporated into a regiment of the Right Longxiang Division, and these troops need transport ships to transfer them." Ma Tao explained. "As for the headquarters of the Jinlan Governor's Mansion, it will soon get the official name of the Fourth Regiment of the Right Dragon Division."
"Fourth Regiment?" Wei Fang exclaimed. "Isn't this different from the current system of the Lu Division?"
"That's right," Ma Tao nodded in acknowledgement. "It's completely different, but at the beginning, the Right Dragon Master was used to fight with the Water Division, and it was normal to be inconsistent with the Land Division, and the Lord even said that the Right Dragon Master can actually be called the Sea Dragon Division."
"Sea Dragon Master?" Tang Shenzhi narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, then asked. "Brother Guangyi, could it be that the Lord has set some big strategy recently? The expansion of the Sea Dragon Division should not be for landing. ”
"This?" Ma Tao didn't know how to reply to Tang Shenzhi's question for a while, and after hesitating for a long time, he lowered his voice in order not to offend these same years. "I heard that there are people in the military academy who draw up a strategy according to the will of the lord, but it is said that the general chapter and the two fellow adults are opposed to this, as for the specific strategy, and why the three elders find it unfeasible, I really don't know."
Ma Tao's words made several captains present begin to whisper, yes, the strategy that the three top military commanders unanimously opposed, this gimmick is not trivial, and everyone can't help but talk about it.
After talking in a low voice for a while, Xie Siqi, the captain of the [Qinshan], suddenly raised his voice: "Shouldn't the Lord really go ashore?" ”
"Landing, of course." [Yushan] captain Du Hu echoed. "Back then, going to land scared a few old adults, so now when they hear that the Lord says that they want to land, they all oppose it."
"It's possible, but the Lord can't be so unwise." Wei Fang has his own opinions. "Although the Tartars and traitors failed to conquer Taiwan twice, there are still more than 100,000 Eight Banners and Green Banner soldiers in the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, and the land division of this domain now has only seven divisions, but 30,000 horses, and the disparity in strength is too great."
"What is there to be afraid of more than 100,000 native chickens and dogs." Chen Baoshun raised his eyebrows. "Didn't our army fight more with less in the first battle of Qiongzhou."
"100,000 captives are not enough to fear, but what if the green camps from all provinces come one after another. Now is not the time for the three feudatories to rebel, and the domain is dominated by Dongning and 200 prefectures in the world (Note: "History of the Ming Dynasty? According to the Geographical Chronicle, there are 160 in the Ming Dynasty and 30 in Zhili Prefecture). Tang Shenzhi shook his head. The eyes of the Lord are like torches, and he will not fail to see the current situation clearly. ”
"It is precisely because we can't afford to consume it, so we can't wait for the Qing Yu to recover their vitality before attacking Dongning." Chen Baoshun did not argue unreasonably because the other party was an old boss. "As long as the flames of war are directed to the state capital controlled by the Qing Dynasty, the safety of Dongning can be guaranteed, and the anti-Qing people in various places can be encouraged to participate in the grand event."
"Join forces against Qingsheng? With whom? Is it the gentry who are in the twilight? Or are they the remnants of the front that will only pull the hind legs? Or the remnants of the San Francisco? Tang Shenzhi pursed his lips disdainfully. I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will lose our troops and lose our people and money, and they will reap the benefits. ”
"Don't fight." Ma Tao didn't know that his words would cause such a big controversy, and he was so frightened that he waved his hand hurriedly. "The Lord is naturally wise, and if we can see what comes to mind, the Lord will see what comes to mind. As for why we are preparing to go on land after seeing and thinking of it, this is our speculation, and second, there is a side that we can't see. ”
"That makes sense." Wei Fang nodded. "We're all speculating now, we can't take it seriously, even if it's true, the sky is falling and there is still a big man on top, aren't the bosses nodding yet, when will it be our turn to criticize the decision-making of the lord. Okay, okay, it's not easy for Brother Guangyi to come to Jinlan, go, eat wine, eat wine"
