Chapter 1069: Uncle Teaches Nephew
"Uncle, this warship of the Song Empire is really sharp, I really don't dare to imagine what it would be like to fight with such a warship at sea." , Li Xiang's nephew Yang Biao was an ordinary sailor on Li Xiang's flagship, so he was able to follow him.
Although the empire accepted Li Xiang and others, they would not be reckless and give them a high status all of a sudden, if they wanted to get a high position, they had to do it through their own efforts or military exploits.
The reason why Zhao Hongyu made such an arrangement was also to consider that he did not want to let the genetic people of Chinese descent have psychological fluctuations.
It is important to know that although most of the genetic people are cultivated in batches, some grassroots officers have independent wisdom and thinking.
Wouldn't it be detrimental to their own rule if they were to be made to resent their decisions?
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu will have such a decision.
Fortunately, Li Xiang understood Zhao Hongyu's decision very well, and at the same time, those young people who wanted to join the Imperial Sailor were also recognized for their own abilities.
So, on this issue, there is no mess.
Therefore, like Yang Biao, the pirates under the former Li Xiang, who were part of the ordinary sailor soldiers, were scattered on each ship and started from the bottom.
Li Xiang chose a copycat Dutch-style commercial war dual-purpose warship as his flagship.
And because he was the admiral of the water master here in Kyushu, he used his authority a little and brought his nephew Yang Biao with him.
But that's about it.
On the flagship, most of the people were Chinese soldiers of the Song Empire, and even all the officers were Chinese.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xiang to take too much care of his nephew, so as not to be looked down upon by others when he gets it, and it will also bring unnecessary trouble to his nephew.
Li Xiang knows his nephew very well, he is a good hand at sea, after all, he has been mixed up at sea with his side since he was a child.
Therefore. Li Xiang firmly believes that even without his own help, his nephew Yang Biao can also get ahead.
At the same time, he also has an advantage of starting from the bottom, that is, he can get familiar with the structure of the Song Empire's warships, and what is so powerful about it.
And when he was at the bottom, he could still deal with the soldiers, and if he slowly improved his status in the future, no one would reject him again, and he would be able to make some good friends.
At this time, on the sea not far from Nagasaki, Li Xiang was constantly giving orders on his flagship deck. More than 200 warships cruised nearby, and it turned out that this was a naval battle exercise that Li Xiang was engaged in.
In today's Kyushu, in addition to the forty-nine imperial warships left by Zhao Hongyu, there are also many Ming-style building ships, bucket boats and small sampans brought by Li Xiang.
It can be said that the ships of the Kyushu Navy Division are not the same, so if you want to have a certain combat effectiveness, then you need to run in and understand each other.
The soldiers and captains who control the Ming-style building ships and fighting boats should know the speed and power of the warships of the Ludao Empire, and then sit down and know in their hearts.
The same. The soldiers and captains of the Imperial warships also had to know the power and speed of the Daoming-style ships, as well as some other parameters.
In this way, wait until there is a naval battle. Based on this data, everyone will make some plans and arrangements.
And Li Xiang, as the commander, must understand this.
Otherwise, when there is a war, the arrangement you make will go wrong because you don't know something. That's not a good idea.
As an old pirate, Li Xiang is absolutely impossible to make a mistake on this point.
The sea surface of the Sea of Japan in winter is very windy, and those sea breezes blow on the face. It even hurts a little.
Li Xiang was wearing a red imperial uniform, and her silver-white hair fluttered in the wind.
"You're right, the Empire's warships are indeed powerful. It can be said that I, Li Xiang, have never seen such a powerful warship in my life, and his power has exceeded my imagination. ”
After hearing his nephew's words, Li Xiang asked the flag bearer on the pole to make a flag, and then said to his nephew.
The day after Zhao Hongyu left, Li Xiang asked the sailors to go to sea for exercises.
Because Amamijima defeated Wang Renzeng, Li Xiang thought that it was likely that Nagasaki would be attacked by Zheng Zhilong in the near future.
Therefore, if you can know the power of the Dao warship as soon as possible, as well as the cooperation between the run-in warships, you will be more sure of how to deal with Zheng Zhilong's attack in the future.
After all, there are some things that are common to fighting at sea and on land, and that is that you have to rely on the strength of the collective to fight. Individual heroism is unrealistic and impossible.
If you want to defeat an enemy with hundreds of ships with just one ship, it's unlikely that even in a script.
Therefore, let the sailors run in together as soon as possible, so that it will be much easier to deal with Zheng Zhilong in the future.
After all, the warships of the Song Empire were very powerful.
The artillery on every ship opened Li Xiang's eyes.
If it was just a ship, Li Xiang and they wouldn't say anything.
But the combined power of forty-nine warships in a naval battle is not ordinary.
And the Ming-style building boats and fighting boats that he originally brought seem to be ships that will become auxiliary battles in the future. Although this is a bit reluctant for him, there is no way to do it.
"Uncle, there is this kind of warship in Kyushu, even if Zheng Zhilong comes, it is impossible to ask for anything good. In fact, you don't have to be so nervous about this matter at all, with the current strength in our hands, although we dare not peep into the southeast coast, there is no problem with self-preservation. ”
As Li Xiang's nephew, Yang Biao is still younger after all.
As a young man, he would not be like an old man like Li Xiang, who would be cautious and cautious about some things.
As much as possible, Li Xiang will be safe.
But Yang Biao felt that it was not necessary.
Li Xiang shook her head when she heard this: "I can't say that, I have to plan well." At the same time, let the sailors run together in a short period of time to deal with Zheng Zhilong's revenge. He turned to look at his nephew, who was dressed as an ordinary soldier, and said to him with a serious face. Although the warship we have at hand is hugely powerful, if we underestimate Zheng Zhilong, there will be some unexpected accidents. ”
Li Xiang has always been pressed and beaten by Zheng Zhilong, so he attaches great importance to his old opponent.
This level of attention has exceeded the imagination of many people.
However, as Li Xiang's nephew, Yang Biao understands this.
"There are many fleets under Zheng Zhilong's command, and there are many warships that can be used." , Li Xiang looked at her nephew seriously and seriously. "Even if it is the kind of warship of the Franz man, there are more than a dozen of them in his Zheng family's fleet. Not to mention the four or five hundred building ships and thousands of fighting boats in his Zheng family's fleet. ”
It can be heard from Li Xiang's words that Zheng Zhilong's strength is quite strong.
Even, much more powerful than 'him' in normal history.
It seems that because of Zhao Hongyu, Zheng Zhilong has also been affected.
And this influence, at least for now, is still good for him.
After all, compared to the original normal history, the strength he has is more than doubled, isn't it?
It's a pity that Zheng Zhilong doesn't know about this.
"Yes, the number of warships controlled by his old Zheng family's fleet is really too much, and it is simply the only one in the southeast. Even their warships are more than the coastal sailors of the Ming Dynasty. ”
After hearing his uncle mention Zheng Zhilong's strength, Yang Biao sighed and agreed.
"Is that all there is to it? Don't forget the vassals and the pirates under his command, who together have a lot of ships at their disposal. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong was able to assemble more than a thousand ships for naval warfare at one time, and this is not counting the Fujian sailors that he himself could mobilize. ”
As for Zheng Zhilong's capital, as his old opponent Li Xiang, he is very clear.
Yang Biao gasped at this time.
Oh, not really.
Zheng Zhilong's strength is really terrifying if you calculate it like this.
"Shhh , Yang Biao took a breath of cold air, and then asked, "Zheng Zhilong's strength is so strong, so can we handle it?" ”
was said by his uncle, Yang Biao's confidence now is not as strong as just now.
It's a young man.
Li Xiang looked at her nephew's reaction and sighed secretly in her heart.
In fact, Li Xiang told Yang Biao about Zheng Zhilong's true strength, and also analyzed Zheng Zhilong's internal strength division for him, just to plan to cultivate this nephew.
After all, nephews are also relatives.
It's a pity that Yang Biao was frightened by what he said about Zheng Zhilong's strength, which made Li Xiang a little disappointed.
For Li Xiang, a big man would rather be beaten to death, but he can't be scared to death.
Zheng Zhilong's strength is indeed strong, but their side is not weak.
At least, after taking refuge in the Song Empire, their strength was different.
Moreover, even if Zheng Zhilong wanted to come to find trouble, it would not be so open-minded.
After all, now his identity is different, and a bad word will cause a national war.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's side will also hold back a little, even if he really wants to come to find trouble, or to avenge Wang Renzeng. But on his own side, it's not impossible to deal with it.
"Biaozi! You remember, Zheng Zhilong's strength is very strong, and there is nothing wrong with that. But you can't presumptuously think that we are not his opponents, in fact, he is very jealous of us and is not easy to start. ”
When Yang Biao heard his uncle say this, a curious look suddenly appeared on his face.
Seriously, if you have a melon seed, you are really not as good as your uncle.
Because he can think of many things that he can't think of, like now.
"I want to hear about it!" , Yang Biao said. (To be continued......)
