He wanted to go, but he didn't go, he was unwilling to be empty in Xiamen, plus he invited 400 fast ships from Guangdong and Taiwan, more than 2,000 reinforcements, and there were more than 3,000 people in his hands, 5,000 troops, and more than 800 warships.

The first large-scale naval battle in Chinese history is about to start, if the last time Xu Xinsu was a beginning and an introduction, this time, it is a prologue!

The naval battle against Liu Xiang and the Dutch coalition will open the curtain of the Ming Dynasty's struggle for hegemony in the sea area!

"Your Majesty, it's windy on the sea, do you want to put on a dress?" Chen Yuanyuan asked timidly, this is what Xu Guowei asked Chen Yuanyuan to ask.

Xu Guowei is a smart person, he came out with the emperor, or he was in the palace with the emperor, no matter whether the emperor had more thoughts about any woman, as long as it was a woman who had spoken to the emperor, Xu Guowei would please him, and he would give him a certain opportunity, which was similar to a recommendation.

What if the fussato shì rises? Then I can't enjoy it for the rest of my life, and the eunuch takes care of it all day long, that's what it is.

In Xu Guowei's opinion, since the emperor has Chen Yuanyuan by his side, even if Chen Yuanyuan's status is low, he can be regarded as innocent, he can't be a concubine, and there is still a great chance to be a talented person.

"No, you don't." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said lightly, and glanced at Chen Yuanyuan, who was weak, although Chen Yuanyuan was not as exaggerated as later generations said, but a thirteen-year-old little Lori could still get more tolerance from the emperor, her age. Quite a few points were added to her.

Chen Yuanyuan found that the emperor was looking at him, blushing, and was about to retreat. But the emperor held her hand, "Have you ever been to sea?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan didn't expect the emperor to come to shake his hand, he was so nervous that he was almost speechless, his little face was even redder, and he just nodded.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen Great Khan, this Tian Hongyu's training is really comprehensive enough? "You've ever been to sea? When is it? ”

"Am I not at sea now?" Chen Yuanyuan replied weakly.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled and nodded.

Nine hundred warships of the Ming Central Naval Division, of which nearly eight hundred were Zheng Jiajun's warships. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's descendant of the Imperial Forest Army battleships 120 pressed the formation, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was surrounded by Yu Zhigao and Zheng Zhihu, and the three of them stood in the observation cabin of the flagship. Looking at the opposite side is also a large group of Liu Xiang's fleet.

"Liu Xiang's power is so big?" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was secretly frightened, but his voice was very steady.

Zheng Zhihu nodded, thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to tell the emperor that the cost of fighting against Liu Xiang was very large. But think about it. He was a little angry, and the emperor had frozen and sealed the original treasury of Zheng Jiajun, and now the accounts are still under investigation, and it would be bad to talk too much.

Yu Zhigao didn't dare to say anything, he was confident that he would hit Liu Xiang's armed group the sea, but he didn't know how the emperor would measure his own losses, if he wanted to hit such a huge fleet, Daming's losses were estimated to be small.

"Eat them. Annihilation! No matter what it takes. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gave his own ideas and set the tone for the entire war.

Yu Zhigao nodded. Each tone determines the overall style of play, and if you want to eat it, you have to surround it!

Ever since humans were able to drift freely on the sea, it seems that naval warfare has become the object of study. In medieval Europe, naval battles were mainly fought with the mainmast to hit the enemy ship, and then the captain fought alone or hand-to-hand! After having artillery, it is first shelling, then firing with muskets close to the ship, and finally fighting with bayonets! For formations and tactics, there are some, but they are not yet mature. However, in modern times, since the advent of ironclad ships, the concept of naval warfare has changed! Since the beginning of World War I, formations and tactics in naval warfare have become the focus of attention of various countries!

From modern times to the present, the main formations of naval warfare are: swallow type.

It is an advantage in the performance of the ship, mainly the speed and driving technology.

The whole fleet uses the swallow type (that is, the pagoda type): in this way, a single layer or several consecutive layers, maintain a good formation, rush into the enemy formation at high speed, and it is best to pay attention to the firing angle of the front main gun and the side chord cannon in advance, try to hit accurately or reduce the firing of the cannon, and wait until there is 90 percent certainty of hitting before firing, so as to achieve the effect of one blow and heavy damage! The advantage of this formation is that almost every gun of each ship in the whole fleet is used, and once the opponent is out of order, it can almost achieve the effect of encircling and annihilating! But the disadvantage is that once the opponent is prepared, this formation is easy to be counter-annihilated.

Once this kind of formation is disrupted by the formation or due to poor driving skills, the formation will be chaotic, then it will lose very badly, because the cannon eats a lot, and when you turn around, it will be difficult to fight again! The Battle of Dadonggou of the Beiyang Naval Division is a good example!

The second type is the vertical type.

This formation is the earliest and most monotonous, and the advantage lies in the concentration of fire from the flanks. The disadvantage is in the front and rear, once the opponent is flanked before and after, not to mention the formation, it is good to save your life! Usually they will be surrounded, and then each one will be broken! Moreover, it is difficult for the injured ship to evacuate safely! However, this formation has good cruising performance because he can quickly transform into other formations! Therefore, the fleets of various countries generally adopt this formation when cruising!

If this formation is lined up in two rows in a row, its attack effect will be significantly enhanced, but the enemy's hit rate will also be significantly increased, because due to the high density, the enemy's random shots are also easy to hit, so the captain needs to be careful to consider!

The third type is horizontal.

This formation can be said to be the most inferior formation, there is no mobility and tactics to talk about, once attacked, the formation change is very difficult, and the firepower cannot be used, because the middle two ships can escape with the help of friendly ships, but will lose the outer ships.

There is also the mission escort or escort for the wounded friendly ship, which is the best formation!

The fourth type is the slash.

This formation can be said to be the most popular naval battle formation in modern times, and its advantages are: strong mobility, relatively concentrated firepower, easy to change formations, moderate balance of front and rear firepower, and almost always able to attack the enemy with flank artillery fire. The flank was that the firepower on the flanks was not strong enough, because the firing range was limited. In addition, the technical requirements are very high, and it is difficult to maintain the distance between the front and back.

The fifth type is round.

This formation is mainly used for the final defense or encirclement when surrounded, the whole fleet rotates in the center of the circle, and always maintains a flank salvo to bombard the enemy who comes to charge the formation, making it difficult for the enemy to aim and cope with the changing formation, and the own side is much better! However, this can be said to be the highest technical requirements for fleet commanders and captains.

When it is difficult for the enemy to inflict heavy damage on our fleet, take the opportunity to flee the battlefield, so that the enemy cannot concentrate on pursuit, and counterattack or counter-annihilate as soon as there is an opportunity!

In the Ming Dynasty, which only had cannons, it was very practical.

A fleet with tactics is a good fleet, and a naval battle with tactics is a real sea battle!

The most commonly used by the Zheng Jiajun in naval battles is the long snake formation, which has the widest firepower, but the assault power is not enough, which is suitable for fleets with strong firepower and poor mobility; Erlong out of the water array, suitable for highly mobile fleets.

Because it was a temporary reorganization, Yu Zhigao's Imperial Forest Army and Navy had a variety of naval battle formations, while Zheng Zhilong's Zheng Jiajun was only familiar with the one-word long snake formation and the two-dragon water formation.

"Compared with the firepower of the Fujian Navy Division and the bandits, the firepower is good, the Fujian Navy Division uses a long snake formation to encircle it from the front, and when the battle between the two sides is stalemate, the original warship of our Central Navy Division is surrounded by a diagonal formation from the side, so as to achieve the goal of total annihilation." Yu Zhigao made a drill on the sand table of naval battles while building a yì to the emperor.

Zheng Zhihu has no opinion, the slash formation, he has never used it at all, even if he has heard the set of training of the Central Naval Division, but he has never used it in actual combat, in fact, it is enough to have two formations that are commonly used in actual combat, Zheng Jiajun's naval combat experience is very rich, the key is to look at the on-the-spot performance, the only thing that worries Zheng Zhihu now is that the original Zheng Jiajun and the Central Naval Division have made great changes in the personnel of the captain and the personnel of the sailors, I don't know what the impact will be?
