Chapter 625: The Possibility of Peace (Happy New Year)

The Jiazhou Army's division was established in Xinfang, and the main battleship was still Zheng He's treasure ship, with many artillery pieces placed on it, which was very different from the usage of the old naval division, and even Qian Hua, who had been immersed in water warfare for many years, had to start from scratch, so there were many problems in the process of training.

Some problems can be solved by Qian Hua independently, but there are still some problems that need the help of others, Li You stayed in Qiantang for more than a month, helping him to finally solve most of the remaining problems, as for the rest of the people have gradually found their way, it will take nothing more than a matter of time.

Among them, Yao Guangxiao also contributed some strength, Zheng He is still his disciple, he also made a lot of efforts in the preparation process of the treasure ship fleet, there are many details that are still fresh in my memory, coupled with Li You's experience of following Zheng He's fleet for a long time and the memory of later generations, this naval division that will surely change the pattern of naval warfare is gradually taking shape.

Of course, it will take a long time for this naval division to really form combat effectiveness, not to mention anything else, that is, at least half of the treasure ships and cannons in the current fleet plan have not yet been completed, and they need to be sent from California after Gu Jiangzi and his people are built, and then these sailors and soldiers are familiar with the drill, how to calculate that it will take at least a year to wave the division to the sea to meet the sailors of King Yue.

Therefore, after arranging the affairs of the sailors, Li You plans to return to Jiazhou with Yao Guangxiao, Sima Cuo and 10,000 soldiers and horses, and as for the other 10,000 soldiers and horses, he plans to stay in Qiantang and monitor the movements of Jiangnan Dongdao nearby, so as not to take the risk of attacking Qiantang and burning the warships, if this is the case, the delay will be even more.

Before leaving, everyone gathered together to discuss, and when everything was arranged, Yao Guangxiao suddenly asked, "My lord, as a poor monk, Zheng Feihuang, Wang Wufeng and others may not have the intention of fighting to the death, as long as they are properly arranged, maybe they can recover Jiangnan Dongdao without a fight, and the fleet under him will also fall into our hands." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, no matter how they say that fighting will kill people, and it will bring great damage to the vicinity of the battlefield, if they can win without a fight, then of course it is no better.

"Your Majesty, according to the inquiries of his subordinates, now in the court of King Yue, the ministers are headed by Zheng Feihuang, Wang Wufeng and Yan Zhenquan, they are all from maritime merchants, and the instigation of King Yue to ascend the throne that day was just to improve his own status, but he did not have much loyalty to the royal family of Great Wei." Sima Cuo first introduced the pattern of the Yue Wang's court to everyone, "According to the investigation of his subordinates, these three people can develop from a small maritime merchant to a wealthy merchant who now controls almost half of the Shanghai trade share of the Great Wei, I don't know how many betrayals and battles they have experienced, and it is precisely because these three people act quickly and change the portal many times to have today, so if they realize that it is impossible, then it is not impossible to surrender to the king." ”

"As Mr. Sima said, the wealth of these people was not given by King Yue, so how could they be willing to accompany King Yue to die?" Yao Guangxiao added, "And at present, although we have many disputes between Jiazhou and them, the trade between the caravan in Mr. Fan's hands and them is not declining but increasing, and at present, sixty percent of the goods exported overseas by Jiangnan Dongdao are transported from the territory controlled by our Jiazhou, and they will not fight to the death with us for this endless supply of silver." ”

"The reason why they are still unwilling to surrender now is just because they think that the lord will solve Yuan Zhang first, and they have no time to look east; and relied on the sailor under his command, which can be called the world's first for the time being, so he thought about continuing to persevere and see if there would be new changes; When they see the situation clearly, it is time to find another way out. Yao Guangxiao said firmly, "At that time, as long as they can keep their wealth, they will never accompany King Yue to die." ”

"Since Master Yao said so, why not send an envoy to consult with these three now? If you can go down to Jiangnan West Road without a fight, it will be very good. With the friendship between the two generations of the Qian family and Li You, Qian Hua didn't have to take the credit of this war to heart, so he put forward such a plan without any guilt.

"I'm afraid it's not the time yet." Li You and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other and smiled, but Yao Guangxiao opened his mouth to explain, "Businessmen like Zheng Feihuang and Wang Wufeng, who have experienced many twists and turns, but they will never admit defeat easily if they have a glimmer of life, so they must be dispelled from all their luck before being persuaded to surrender." ”

"What they are relying on now is nothing more than the reinforcements of the sailor and the island, and as long as Brother Qian, your sailor Yicheng, will teach them a lesson at sea, so that they can see clearly that the sailor and the islander are not enough to resist the might of my Jiazhou sailor, and they don't need us to come to the door, maybe they will take the initiative to surrender; If you send an envoy now, don't say that you can't talk about it and waste your time, even if they are willing to surrender, I'm afraid they will have to open their mouths. Li You said with a smile, Jiangnan Dongdao is not as good as Beiyu, and it is true that they can be solved by peaceful means, but it is not now.

"Also, just like Yang Jiefu and others wanted to negotiate peace with Beiyu before, they don't have the capital to negotiate peace in their hands, so what results can they negotiate." Thinking of the past, Qian Hua couldn't help but sigh, Great Wei's desire for peace could not be described as insincere, but it was a pity that they did not have the slightest strength to resist the army of the Northern Captives, and in the end they only ended up with the city broken and the country destroyed.

And now Zheng Feihuang and they probably still think that they have the strength to fight, before they completely defeat their confidence, these people will not really negotiate peace, and as long as they defeat their sailors, it will not be Li You in the future, what Li You says here, this is like doing business, being held by others and holding all the key points, and the initiative in negotiation will not be able to run.

"Therefore, whether you can easily win Jiangnan Dongdao depends on Brother Qian and the sailor, as for the land, at most it is just a cooperative role." Li You finally encouraged.

"Please also rest assured, Lord Taiwei, the last general will live up to expectations, and in another year at most, he will definitely go to sea and break the backbone of this sailor." Qian Hua got up and said.

"Okay, I'll come to Qiantang again next year and send Brother Qian to the sea to fight." Li You picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.

In the early morning of the next day, Li You and Yao Guangxiao, Sima Cuo went out of the city to prepare to return to Jiazhou, Qian Hua led people to send them out of the city ten miles, this return to Jiazhou after the world will temporarily return to tranquility, and when Li You leads the troops next time, the king of Yue will follow the king of Qi and become another role in withdrawing from the stage of the conquest of the world, and then the southeast of the world will be owned by Li You.
