Chapter 322: Commander of the Light Pole
"According to normal strategic thinking, we should adopt the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, but the current situation in Yanyun County is not suitable for this, we must do the opposite, and have a long-distance attack and close attack."
Dugulou already had a plan in his heart, and at this moment, he told the story eloquently and pointed out the picturesque picture of the country.
"First of all, we must form an alliance with the northern ministries, which you have already done, and the second is to clarify the relationship with Li Wanjiang's monarch and ministers, but let him know that the prince is in Yanyun County, which is beneficial and harmless to him, Li Wanjiang is suspicious by nature, and can be decisive and unconscionable, so we must also beware that he will attack us in the future."
"The conflict with Da Zhou is also inevitable, but we must control the situation, try to make big things small, small things into nothing, fight is the means, and peace is the goal."
Dugulou has been thinking about it for a long time.
"And it's better for the crown prince to send someone to get in touch with Murong Heng in the Western Regions, of course it's best to form a private alliance with him, but I don't think he will agree, then at least become friends with him, so that the western frontier of our Yanyun County will also be stable."
Dugulou said a few words and planned three directions: north, south and west.
"This is inbreeding, the next thing is to attack from afar, we currently have only one enemy, that is the Rus, the port is too important for us, we must take it, and we must take it as soon as possible!"
Dugulou's tone gradually became majestic, from a decadent middle-aged man, unconsciously changed back to the legendary general who commanded thousands of troops and horses, and was invincible.
"Shunfeng Harbor can only be recovered by military attack, and diplomatic means are useless, because the Rus attach great importance to Shunfeng Harbor, and if they want to control this sea, they must occupy Shunfeng Harbor and even the entire harbor, even if we don't take the initiative to attack him, in the near future, they will send troops to attack us."
"The present Queen of Ross is a very powerful woman, her ambitions are much greater than many men, and I have heard that she wants to conquer the whole East, and even the whole world! Hehe, it's really a daydream, you have to let me Fu Hanzhong not die! ”
"Mighty words!" Xiao Chen applauded.
But it's not so easy to attack the Tailport.
First of all, there are at least 10,000 Rus' cavalry in Shunfeng Harbor, as well as at least a dozen large warships and dozens of small warships.
Forget about the cavalry, the most terrifying thing is their sailors.
As far as their current fleet in Shunfeng Harbor is concerned, it is stronger than the entire Great Zhou Naval Division!
As for Xiao Chen, don't say any sailors, he doesn't even have a battleship at the moment......
But I don't know if Han Zhong is willing to be my admiral?
That is, the commander of the navy, the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of the light pole.
"Minister, obey the order!" I didn't expect Dugulou to agree so happily.
"But Han Zhong, you know we don't even have a warship at the moment, right? I'll have to help me build it when you take office. Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed.
"Minister, do your best!" Lonely hallway.
"Han Zhong, you are not my minister, and I am not your king, so it's not affectionate, so you can just call me boss." Another big stone in Xiao Chen's heart fell to the ground.
He knew too well the importance of the sailor, and he had already begun to think about the preparation, but he didn't have a clue what to do.
Yuntian, Lin Yue, Yue Zhonglin and others don't understand water warfare, only Zhuge Xiaosheng can, but the burden on Xiaosheng's shoulders is heavy enough, and Xiao Chen can't put this heavy responsibility on him anymore.
If Xiaosheng is tired and sick, then the gains outweigh the losses.
Now that Dugulou is here, he is still willing to take on this important task...... Xiao Chen no longer has to worry about this.
But how easy is it to build a fleet?
Shipbuilding alone is not something that can be completed in a short time, and in addition, the sailors and naval guns have not yet been settled, and even the most optimistic estimates will take a year to build a small-scale formed and combat-ready naval division.
So when are we going to attack the Tailport?
"Hehe, Prince, even if we have a naval fleet now, we are definitely not the opponent of Ross, so if we want to take Shunfeng Harbor, we can't point to the naval fleet, but through other ways, first use some means to do something, we must find a few helpers......" Dugulou smiled confidently.
Of course, the first helper is the Great Zhou Naval Division, although the strength of the Great Zhou Naval Division is not enough to fight against the Ross fleet, but at least it can also fight with it!
Let's attack Shunfeng Harbor, but for the sake of the Great Zhou to recover the lost territory, you Li Wanjiang can't just ignore it, right?
Besides, your sailor division has been established for so long, it is time to pull it out for training, without the experience of actual combat, no matter what kind of army, it will never be truly strong.
The second helper is from Dongying?
Xiao Chen said that I really didn't know them well, but I had dealt with them, and I beat them very badly......
So if you make friends with them now, I'm afraid they won't be happy.
Dugulou said that there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies.
I think they'd be more willing to be friends with us than the Rus'.
As for the little thing you said you had beaten them, they would never take it to heart.
In fact, I don't think we need to take the initiative to go to them at the moment, maybe in the near future, they may come to us......
Because the Shunfeng harbor occupied by the Rus' is certainly a thorn in our flesh, and it is also a thorn in the side of their Dongying people!
As for the helper three, it is the Tianxuan Society.
Xiao Xinghan is Zhu Yuanfang, right? That is, the prince, your own brother, right?
He is playing the banner of anti-Zhou Fuhan, so theoretically speaking, they should all be under the command of the crown prince.
If you personally give the order, is it okay to mobilize their sailors in Yizhou to help in the war?
Xiao Chen said that the problem is big, don't say that I can't transfer a single soldier of them, even if they are transferred, they will come to beat me!
In addition, Han Zhong, don't you know that my second brother is about to attack Minzhou County in the Great Zhou? Two days ago, I sent someone to ask me for money and food.
If he sends troops, then he will definitely have to fight with the Great Zhou Water Division, and it would be too unrealistic for you to point to them to help us fight the Rus.
Besides, Tianxuan will be mortal enemies with the Great Zhou, and it is impossible for them to think that their sailors will fight side by side with the Great Zhou sailors.
Li Wanjiang is small-minded, and my second brother is also a cautious eye, so no matter how affectionately the two of them look at each other, they will never tell you to me.
Dugulou said that it may not be, as long as we understand the two of them, move them with affection, lure them to benefit, and deceive them in a way...... It can still be done.
If you don't believe the prince, let's wait and see.
As for saying that Tianxuan will attack Minzhou County, that's pure nonsense!
If my prediction is correct, this battle will be over in half a month at most.
If you don't believe it, the prince, let's see.
Xiao Chen really doesn't believe it, so you Han Zhong are willing to gamble with me?
How do you think about a small bet on pleasure, just a hundred taels of gold?
"Thank you, Boss." Dugulou said.
Yes? Why are you thanking me?
I bet you a hundred taels of gold, and I didn't give it to you for nothing!
"That's pretty much it." Dugulou said with a smile.
