"The water army, the water army is indeed the weakness of my tiger and leopard army...... Marshal, what do you think........." Military advisor Zhou Shuyuan asked Wei Zheng rhetorically with a solemn face.

Wei Zheng replied with the same solemnity on his face: "The imperial court will definitely not watch us transport troops to Liaodong. Therefore, if we want to reinforce Liaodong, we must find a way to restrain the naval army that the imperial court may send......"

Zhou Shuyuan nodded and affirmed: "Those who can restrain the imperial court navy on the sea, if you calculate it, there is only the navy." Because, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the army is, when it reaches the sea, it will become a lamb without the slightest combat effectiveness. Therefore, I think that in order to reinforce Liaodong, we must have a naval army that can confront the imperial navy. ”

"However, things are clearly not that easy...... Although we bought a lot of warships from Jiangnan, we also found a lot of former sailors. However, these ships were all hulls with no weapons attached. As for those former sailors and soldiers, it is impossible for them to form combat effectiveness before they have undergone rehabilitation training. ”

Under the gaze of Zhou Shuyuan and Sun Chengzong, the solemn expression on Wei Zheng's face was slowly replaced by a trace of heartfelt firmness.

Facing the two of them, he replied firmly and helplessly: "Now it seems that we are going to catch the ducks on the shelves...... The form of Liaodong, we all know. For every day of delay, our 30,000 Tiger and Leopard troops stationed in Liaodong are in danger of being wiped out by 100,000 enemies and the entire army will be wiped out. Therefore, we can only bite the bullet and reinforce Liaodong. ”

"What do you mean?" Chief of Staff Sun Chengzong's face directly showed an expression of approval. Facing Wei Zheng, he asked rhetorically with an expectant face. Hope for the all-powerful Wei Zheng in front of him. Be able to come up with a concrete solution.

But. disappointed him, under his own gaze, the helplessness on Wei Zheng's face did not change much.

More importantly, a trace of solemnity from the heart resurfaced on Wei Zheng's face.

"There is no good way, but there is no way to do it. There are still ......," Wei Zheng replied with a helpless face. After it was over, the already solemn expression on his face became even more solemn at this moment.

Under the gaze of the two people full of complicated eyes, Wei Zheng directly asked Zhou Shuyuan: "Strategist, Ben Shuai remembers that half a year ago, Ben Shuai began to ask the Equipment Department to study and build artillery suitable for use by the navy. I don't know how the progress is now, is there any result......"

Zhou Shuyuan's eyes lit up, and he replied thoughtfully, "Dashuai, an artillery suitable for the use of the navy." It doesn't matter if there are two requirements. One is to be light enough in weight, as for the other. That is, to have a longer range than the enemy. Therefore, it took only three months for the Equipment Division to produce samples. ”

Not only that, but the armament department also researched three different artillery pieces at one time, which were equipped with three different types of naval warships. The firing range is one, two, and three miles, respectively. As for the weight of the artillery, it was also compressed to three hundred catties, four hundred catties, five hundred catties......"

"Calculated according to the size of these ships, each ship is armed with forty guns of the corresponding model, and there are absolutely no problems......"

At this time, the expression on Wei Zheng's face finally changed slightly.

Facing Zhou Shuyuan, he asked directly with an expectant face: "Since it has been researched, how many of these artillery pieces for the navy have been created so far......

Zhou Shuyuan replied uncertainly: "Three or four hundred artillery pieces of this type must be there......"

At this time, the smile on Wei Zheng's face became even stronger, and he replied excitedly#: "Three or four hundred special artillery pieces for the navy, plus mortars of various calibers equipped by the infantry, are enough for us to arm a temporary naval fleet...... That's it, use these guns to form a fleet on the fly......"

Sun Chengzong has never served as a general in his life. However, there is still a most basic attempt.

On the battlefield of water warfare, the equipment of the sailors, although it plays a great role. However, the su zhì of the sailors also plays a vital role.

A few hundred guns, although it can arm dozens of warships, form a temporary fleet. However, the sailors needed for this temporary fleet were a very big problem.

Because, those sailors and soldiers under the command of the Haw Par Army are all the elite sailors of the imperial court. But, after all, they haven't fought for a long time and have been on a warship.

What's more, they don't know each other at all......

Before the whole training, the sailors and soldiers on each warship were scattered sand. In the absence of cooperation, these sailors and soldiers may not even be able to control the warships under their feet, not to mention water warfare.

The answer is obvious, what is the difference between such a temporary fleet of people conserving on the sea and protecting thousands, if not tens of thousands, of infantry and letting these infantry die in the sea.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, Sun Chengzong raised the worries in his heart.

Under Sun Chengzong's gaze, Wei Zheng's face directly showed a look of affirmation full of firmness.

However, the expression on Wei Zheng's face did not change in the slightest because of these worries. Instead, he looked at Sun Chengzong and said confidently: "Chief of Staff, your worries are not unreasonable...... However, these worries of yours are based on the close combat between the two sailors. ”

"If the navy sent by the imperial court has not yet entered the range of its own artillery, it will be wiped out by us...... Then each ship in the fleet is equipped with a sailor general with rich combat experience. Do you think that in the end, it will be us who will become a mess and fail? ”

"Don't forget, the sailors of the imperial court, although they are constantly training. However, these trainings are superficial. The Imperial Court Sailor hasn't really fought for a long time. What's more, the artillery equipped on the warships of the imperial navy division is an old artillery that we have long eliminated. When shooting at us, there is no advantage at all, so we can only be beaten passively......"

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng directly ordered autocraticly: "That's it...... The commander ordered, Chief of Staff, to immediately select qualified officers and men of the Navy in our team and form a Navy ......"

"Strategist, you immediately organize the Equipment Division, select the best warships in the fleet, and equip all the artillery that the Equipment Division has built on these ships. Then, in the shortest possible time, the warship will be delivered to the navy for a short period of integrated training......"

"In addition, the chief of staff has another task, immediately in the name of the General Staff, order the Guard Division, the Fourth Independent Artillery Regiment, the Fifth Artillery Regiment, the Fourth Infantry Division, and the Second Cavalry Division to quickly assemble and prepare for dispatch."

"Strategist, you also have one more mission...... No matter what method you use, you will immediately send someone to Liaodong and send Wang Feng a military order from this commander......"

"No matter what method Wang Feng uses, he must rely on the existing troops and weapons and equipment in his hands to persist in Liaodong for half a month. Half a month later, the commander will personally command the army and reinforce Liaodong. Let those enemies who attack Liaodong pay the price of blood, and let them taste ...... blood."

"Yes, handsome......"

In the imperial palace located in Beijing City, several cabinet ministers, under the leadership of Zhang Qianshu, stood in the main hall with a solemn face and discussed with Emperor Chongzhen.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly walked in and reported with a nervous face: "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asks to see you, and there is something important to report......

"Xuan ......," Emperor Chongzhen said without thinking.

Soon, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard walked into the main hall.

After making a respectful salute to Emperor Chongzhen, he reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei's secret agent in Datong has just sent back a message...... The Datong Governor's Office already knew the news that Liaodong was besieged from three sides...... At present, the Shanxi Governor's Office is carrying out a large-scale troop transfer in the two provinces. ”

"If nothing else, these troops will be sent to Liaodong ...... by waterway"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and directly exclaimed: "God really helps me to ...... Ming."

Zhang Qianshu's face also showed a smile, and he complimented Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this is an opportunity given to us by God, and we must not let go of ......."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and affirmed: "Zhang Aiqing, it seems that you and I want to go together...... In this case, love, you can say what you think in your heart, and we will discuss it together......"

"Yes, Your Majesty...... The old minister thought that the imperial court should immediately transfer the navy and arrange the necessary waterway for the reinforcements of the Tiger and Leopard Army. As soon as reinforcements from the Haw Par Army appear, they will be eliminated immediately, and the connection between Liaodong and Shanxi provinces will be completely severed......"

"Good, good, that's what I mean...... Zhang Aiqing, you deserve to be my confidant......"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, directly opened his mouth and decided: "Zhang Aiqing, your decision is my decision...... I decided to do what you said...... As for how many sailors to transfer, Zhang Aiqing and the Ministry of War will discuss, and they only need to report to me to know......"

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers must live up to Your Majesty's trust and destroy the troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army to reinforce Liaodong......"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and the smile on his face became more and more intense. Facing Zhang Qianshu and the others, he said expectantly: "Zhang Aiqing, I believe you...... I can be sure that the battle in front of me will definitely achieve an unprecedented victory under the command of Zhang Aiqing. Not only that, but the imperial court will become stronger and stronger......"

"Therefore, I hope that all Aiqing can work with me to work hard for the bright future of the Ming Dynasty and build the Ming Dynasty better and better......" (to be continued......)
