In addition, there is a kind of Exocet ship in the fleet, the prototype is the previous small warships, these small warships have performed particularly well in previous actual battles, so it is also an independent sequence existence in the Yanyun Navy.

Because they are mainly used by the Flying Fish Guard, they are named the Flying Fish Ship.

The modified Exocet are lighter and more agile, and the guns on the bow can be quickly disassembled according to wartime conditions, and they cannot sail to the ocean autonomously, so they are carried on various large ships, and they can be put down at any time to go into battle.

However, the Exocet ship also has a disadvantage, that is, if the weather at sea is bad and the wind and waves are strong, it will not be able to be launched, it is too light and too small, and a big wave can be directly overturned......

Originally, the battle plan for recovering Yizhou had been formulated, and Dugulou planned to dispatch fifty battleships, one hundred cruisers, and fifty frigates as the main force, plus Ren Bijiang's Dongying Water Division, which was enough to take Yizhou without any problems.

But at this moment, the situation in Yizhou has changed, and the opponent is no longer the weak Great Zhou Naval Division, but what the Seven Nations Combined Fleet is, and I don't know much about their specific situation at present.

But since the intelligence said that the other side had more than 300 warships, then the strength should not be underestimated, and Dugulou did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he temporarily decided to send an additional 50 battleships, 80 cruisers, and 50 frigates to participate in the battle.

In his words, it is better to carry a stone to smash an egg than to touch a stone with an egg!

First, my Yanyun Navy has this strength, and secondly, strictly speaking, this is also the first time that the Yanyun Navy has officially fought independently, so it must be victorious, and it must not fail!

By the way, this battle is also a shock to Ross, Dongying, Da Zhou, and those Western devils, so that they can all be honest in the future, and Hugh will provoke easily!

There is no war yet, and this pomp alone has already shocked Gong Shouli, Li Toyota, and Shaoyan Mingguang.

Originally, Xiao Chen didn't want him to come with him, your wife is pregnant, so you can accompany her more, and there is really no need to follow us so far to fight.

But Shaoyan Mingguang said that we Dongying also participated in this battle, although I am not the main general, but if I don't come to see it in person, I can always rest assured, rather than worrying about sleeping and eating in Yanyun County, it is better to work with you, anyway, if my wife is lucky, I can also work with peace of mind if I have the honor of taking care of me.

Of course, I won't interfere in your operations, just because I'm here to observe and learn like those students of Yanyun Military Academy.

Dugulou naturally wouldn't let him hide and relax, so he directly pulled him to his flagship and temporarily appointed him as a senior combat staff officer, and Shaoyan Mingguang also agreed......

If nothing else, I really like these excellent battleships too much.

Or maybe I'm too scared.

Therefore, taking the opportunity to participate in the command operation this time, you can not only enjoy it, but also have an in-depth understanding of the performance of these warships, because maybe one day, their guns will be aimed at Dongying!

In addition, he also wanted to know what was the situation of the so-called United Fleet of Seven Nations?

What is the strategic purpose of them going thousands of miles to attack Yizhou? Will it threaten my work in the future?

Therefore, although he has repeatedly claimed that he wants to go into seclusion and does not care about state affairs, in fact, he cares about everything about state affairs and wars!

Of course, it may also be that Ren Bijiang, a hairless kid, is not at ease......

After Dongying learned of the change in the situation in Yizhou, he immediately sent someone to ask Xiao Chen, has our joint operation plan for Yizhou changed?

At the same time, he said that as long as Xiao Chen sent troops, Dongying would definitely participate! It doesn't matter what name it is...... Because I have been preparing for many months, and everything is ready to work, it is equivalent to being ready to fly, and I have to send it!

Fortunately, for reasons of secrecy, the soldiers who participated in the war did not know who they were going to attack, so the mobilization work before the war would not be affected.

Before, it was a crusade against Da Zhou, and now it is to help Da Zhou, and from a strategic point of view, it is also quite beneficial to them.

And if these Westerners gain a foothold in Yizhou, it will pose a huge threat to them!

Emperor Shenzhao had the same idea as Li Wanjiang, that is, he would rather Yizhou fall into the hands of Xiao Chen than in the hands of outsiders.

So now it's not that Xiao Chen asks them to send troops, but they strongly hope that Xiao Chen will send troops, for fear that Xiao Chen will directly cancel this battle plan, but fortunately, Xiao Chen is a very reputable person.

Not only did he resolutely send troops, but he also said that he would keep all his previous promises, because I Xiao Chen spoke and said nothing!

But of course, the premise is that we must defeat the seven-nation combined fleet, otherwise this promise will not be objectively realized.

For this reason, we have increased the number of warships by a considerable amount, and I would like to ask you to consider the actual situation and send more warships to participate in the battle, so that we can work together to win!

Emperor Shenzhao was greatly pleased......

Li Wanjiang should also be gratified, because Xiao Chen personally led the 'all' Yanyun Navy to dispatch regardless of his previous suspicions, just to regain the lost territory for Da Zhou!

And so far, he still abides by the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and when he arrived at Haining Bay early in the morning, he ordered all the fleets to anchor ten miles away, and only docked at the port on his own Xiao Zihao, and sent Gong Shouli and Li Fengtian ashore, and asked them to go back to their descendants to ask the emperor, can the ministers and I go to Beijing to meet me?

Of course, this is polite, Xiao Chen will never openly step into Fengyang City now, and even Jiang Musheng, the prefect of Haining, personally got on the boat and asked him to go to the government to pick him up, he didn't go, claiming that he was a feudal official, and he was in armor, so it was inconvenient to get off the ship without the emperor's order!

It's impossible to go down.

In the afternoon, Li Wanjiang sent Li Shi, the king of Jiangdong, and Lu Jing, the secretary of the military department, to deliver the decree, of course, not to let him enter Beijing, but to appoint him as the generalissimo of Yiyi, and ordered him to work tirelessly, set off as soon as possible, and led the men and horses of his headquarters to Yizhou to drive out the Yizhou for me and make new achievements!

I am here waiting for Aiqing's triumphant return.

If this battle is won, how can I spare the reward, and what if I make you a public candidate?

"In fact, according to the king's opinion, even if you are named Xiao Chen, it will not be too much." Li Shi's decree was finished, and he watched Xiao Chen get up with thanks, and then slowly spoke.

"The prince doesn't dare to take this, let alone be a king, and the prince doesn't dare to think about it, but with the meager strength of the minister, he hopes to repay the grace of the saint, and he will be satisfied." Xiao Chen said, "It's just a hard work, and it's just after death." ”

When he said 'death', he deliberately accentuated his tone.

"Hehe, Xiao Chen, are you still angry with the emperor?" Li Shi said with a smile, "The last incident was just a misunderstanding, and the emperor later felt that it was inappropriate, so he also scolded Li Feng's younger brother, scolding him for being reckless and hurting the hearts of loyal ministers......"

"How dare the minister be angry with the emperor?" Xiao Chen thought that Li Shi's words were farts, "It's just a little wronged, I was going to come to apologize to the emperor in person, but I unfortunately contracted the wind cold and has been bedridden, which is just better, but there is such an accident, alas...... How bad is my big Zhou national fortune? ”

The words are not very good, but Li Shi can only listen to them.
