Chapter Seventy-Eight: Tang Yan
Chapter Seventy-Eight: Tang Yan
Tang Yan is a leader in the Navigation Academy. The ship in his hand was the lead ship of the battleship He Xi had always wanted.
There were more than 100 cannons in total. And it's all heavy artillery. Three meters long. The weight reaches a thousand pounds. One shot down, no ship board can stop it.
Tang Yan is qualified to drive this ship, which is also a very lucky thing. There were several candidates. couldn't hold each other, and in the end, Tang Yan was promoted dramatically.
Although, it is said that many ships will be produced later, only the qualifications will have their own ships sooner or later. But that's how luck comes in, and it can't be stopped.
Tang Yan had just practiced for more than half a year, and he had run in up and down a ship. Some small faults and problems on the ship were also fed back to the shipyard and modified. Immediately there was a war.
And it is to the Shandong Water Division.
Shandong Sailor has always been the opponent of Liaodong Sailor, but everyone knows that the other party is not their opponent. It's just that due to various circumstances, everyone is reluctant to tear their faces.
In the past, the key to the war was on land.
What can you do even if you defeat the Shandong Sailors?
Unable to draw enough infantry to attack, it was nothing more than to beat the Shandong Navy Division to land. As long as it can't be annihilated. I'll be looking for trouble in the future. Moreover, the business road from Liaodong to Fujian was broken under the noses of Shandong sailors.
I don't know how many people's interests have been damaged.
So everyone is deliberately faking the fight. This is no longer the case.
The first battle of tearing the face is definitely a big victory. It's a great feat. This fell on Tang Yan.
This is nothing short of lucky.
In such a situation of feeding the heavens, Tang Yan naturally would not miss it.
However, Tang Yan also has new ideas.
He came to Ha Thorn Buhua. Don't report to Harbour.
As a Mongol general, his father and brother were killed by Zhu Yunwen. He wanted revenge wholeheartedly, but unfortunately, as a Mongolian general, he could no longer adapt to the current battlefield. Not all generals can be like gold and jade. And Jin Shengyu's performance in this regard is actually not very good?
The trend of Mongol generals leaving the front line of the battlefield has become more and more obvious.
There is nothing you can do about it without spending.
It was also because he didn't believe in Ha Ting's ability to spend money that he was sent to guard Liaodong as a military commander, which shows his strategic positioning in this army. Liaodong is almost rear. It's almost impossible to have any major battles.
The outbreak of the Battle of Denglai. The happiest person is no one else. It's him. Because he knew that this was his chance, and it could even be said that it was his only chance.
In fact, many generals feel this way.
Whether it is the generals on the Nanjing side or the generals on the Beijing side. That is, some generals are obviously not veterans, and they are all on the verge of elimination. There are not many generals on the Beijing side. So this feeling is not strong, and now in Nanjing, many generals have this feeling.
Although they are in their fifties. But as a general who commands a large army, can a man in his fifties be considered old?
The same goes for Harbin, who is in his forties. Dealt with all sides. But his tactical tactics are almost useless. If not to mention, he still has experience in organizing and commanding large armies. There is also prestige. And there is also a lack of high-ranking generals here in Beijing, otherwise he would not have been one of the army commanders at all.
Once the junior generals come up, they will not be replaced.
It's still good.
It will take at least a few years for Harbin to be replaced, and the contradictions here in Nanjing will be even more serious. Those generals who oppose military reform may not know what is right. But if all the right ones come at my expense. Is this right for me, or is it right?
At least the thorn does not spent, there is still a chance. As long as he can win battles and prove himself. It is also possible that he will remain among the top generals rather than hang an idle post in the Privy Council.
So I don't spend a lot of time and work hard to learn all kinds of new knowledge. After he realized that he couldn't learn no matter how much he studied, he had an epiphany
Fa, that is, those who can't learn it themselves can use it.
Therefore, Ha Thorn is especially good for these lower-level officers, and whatever ideas the people below have, they can be realized through him.
This is the premise that Tang Yan dares to speak.
Tang Yan said this, Ha Zhu Buhua couldn't believe it, he said, "Is this really okay?"
Tang Yan said, "Please believe me."
Ha Zhu Buhua said, "You Han people have a really good time. I believe you once. However, if this one thing cannot be done well. Don't blame my men for being ruthless."
Tang Yan said, "Please rest assured."
--------
Shamen Island, a small island in the Bohai Sea, was famous as an important place for exiles in the Song Dynasty, and although it is now a barren place, some buildings have been left behind. It's a great place for both parties to meet privately.
Tang Yan sat on a stone bench and waited for a long time before he saw a big ship coming, and a person came up and said with a scolding scolding, "The surname is Tang. You've finally figured it out."
Tang Yan said, "Naturally, I figured it out. Rely on the sea to eat the sea, otherwise what can you do with the little money from the yamen."
This person is a descendant of the Zhang family, named Zhang Rong, and it seems that he is not a descendant. As the spokesperson of the Zhang family in business. Run the business business. The smuggling between the Zhang family and Liaodong did not start from the beginning.
But after a long time, everyone also knew.
However, Tang Yan did not have the idea of complicit. The reason is very simple, this matter has been investigated above. Although for various reasons, the investigation is not so strict. But no one gave up checking. Tang Yan has no backstage, and once the East Window incident happens, it is not something he can bear.
He actually cherishes his current identity and status, and not participating does not mean that he does not know.
So, what he wants to do is very simple.
Zhang Rong said, "Did you say it earlier, what did you bring with you this time. Whatever you bring with you, I'll pay three times the premium and make a friend with you."
Tang Yan said, "Didn't bring anything?"
Zhang Rong was a little displeased. He said, "You just want to see me, it's a bit too much."
Tang Yan said, "No, there is a big deal to talk to you about."
Zhang Rong said, "What a big deal."
Tang Yan said, "Shandong."
Zhang Rong immediately felt that something was wrong. He put his hand on the hilt of the knife and said, "You amuse me?"
Tang Yan said, "Naturally not."
Speaking of this, Tang Yan didn't do anything, and he didn't need to do it, he immediately ambushed the people brought by Zhang Rong and Zhang Rong himself, Zhang Rong was taken aback, was pressed on the stone table, and scolded loudly: "What are you doing here?".
"Will it be merit if you catch me? I'm telling you, you'll have problems when you go back. I'll let you walk around without eating."
Tang Yan sneered and said, "I believe it on weekdays, but now I don't believe it."
It is impossible to say that no one in Liaodong is so connected to Shandong. Business dealings are a double-edged sword. Beijing can get a steady stream of news from Nanjing through commercial channels, and it is almost impossible for its own side to not leak any news from the side.
But it's also a matter of priority. It's just a matter of making some money on weekdays. If they don't stop at this time, they don't need Tang Yan to speak, and someone will naturally clean them up.
Even the masters behind them.
Needless to say, these things need not be said.
This is what Hart does not say, the Han people play really flowery. While fighting, the smuggling below has not been cut off. It's not a surprise that Ha Thorn doesn't spend, it's lower than the nobles on the grassland.
It is common to fight life and death below, eat and drink and talk about peace above, and even marry daughters.
He was surprised by Tang Yan's thoughts.
Tang Yan ignored Zhang Rong's struggles and said, "Now can you talk to me about our big deal?"
Zhang Rong said in surprise, "What a big deal."
Tang Yan said, "Shandong. Bring us into the city of Denlai."
Zhang Rong's pupils were shocked, and he said loudly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. There's no way I'm going to betray the Zhang family."
At this moment, he has ignored that his surname is Zhang, he is also a child of the Zhang family, what he said is not betraying his own family, but the Zhang family. It shows that this one thing is possible.
