The news from Mingzhou reached Jinling on the second day of February.

The dragon raised its head.

At noon that day, Zhu Yuan hosted a banquet in the mansion for Dai Sanchun's family, who had just arrived, and Sun Shouzhen, the secretary of the medical department, accompanied him, but there were only three men at the table, and the women and children were all accompanied by freehand in the side hall.

The topic was talking about the soon-to-be-completed Yixian Temple, and news came from the palace.

Let Zhu Yuan go to the meeting immediately.

In the face of the inquiry, because Sun Shouzhen and Dai Sanchun were also members of the imperial court, the messenger revealed a little in advance, involving the military and Mingzhou...... Something happened.

Zhu Yuan hurriedly arrived at the imperial city and came to the conference room in the East Pavilion, where everyone else had already arrived.

After giving the salute, he walked to his place and sat down, there was already a stack of documents that had been copied in advance in front of him, Zhu Yuan glanced at Tu Xiao, the surveying and mapping envoy who was personally drawing on a nautical chart in front of the vertical board at the end of the long table of the conference, and then withdrew his gaze and browsed the documents in front of him.

First of all, it is about the surprise attack of the Dingxi Army on Jiaxing and the timely response of the navy and the complete annihilation of this group of thieves in Daiquyang.

The causes and consequences of the incident are listed in great detail.

It even includes the previous history of Zhao Dingxi and Chen Ning going to the Wa Kingdom in the past year and developing rapidly.

And again this time.

With the Japanese maritime merchant Murata guards as the internal response, he arrived in Daming first, ran around in the name of the merchant, and quietly transmitted the news back.

Then Chen Ning, who was trying to take revenge, persuaded Zhao Dingxi to single-handedly plan the tragedy of Shimu Town, Haiyan, Jiaxing.

And then.

The attack occurred in the morning, relying on the fireworks transmission system that Zhu Yuan had built for a year, the Mingzhou Navy Governor's Office received the news on the same day, Hua Gao keenly made a judgment, accurate layout, and in the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Dingxi's headquarters were blocked in Daiquyang.

A night battle.

Annihilation.

After the war report, there are other appendages.

The first is that the naval governor Hua Gao took the initiative to admit his mistake and admitted that there was a mistake in the coastal defense of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he did not make enough arrangements in the Sheshan Ocean outside the mouth of the Yangtze River and some of the Da Ji Yang inside, so that Haikou drove all the way into Hangzhou Bay.

Therefore, the Governor asked the court to punish him.

The second is that Liu Lian, the deputy envoy of Yinghai, took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Liu Lian strongly reflected on his previous misconception that he did not pay enough attention to technical secrecy, and even hoped that the corresponding knowledge would be circulated more on the contrary.

At the same time, the Navy and the Battalion Sea Division were also pulled.

Liu Lian believes that the two major departments are ...... for this matter Again, they don't pay enough attention.

As a result, a lot of knowledge imparted by a certain young camp envoy last year was widely circulated in Mingzhou, and even passed into the hands of Haikou, and the result was that this time, Zhao Dingxi's department used the star tractor, the telescope and the accurate nautical charts circulated in Mingzhou, and drove straight into Jiaxing with almost no error.

It is conceivable that without these assistances, even if Zhao Dingxi's troops reach the coastal waters of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to accurately find the target to be attacked, and it is more likely to be discovered by the Ming army in the process of wandering around, and make responses.

To sum up, Liu Lian hoped that the imperial court would enact legislation as soon as possible and ...... many navigation technologies and even various other sensitive technologies, which are strictly controlled.

On the Mingzhou side, a certain person who confessed to his guilt was willing to take charge of this matter personally within the scope of the Yinghai Division.

The two confessions were followed by some summaries of the important role played by the steamship conceived by Zhu Yuan last year in the naval battle.

Because the speed of the ship was fast enough and it also had considerable flexibility in the battle, this time the battle of Daiqu, the command of Zhenhai Zuowei not only enabled the Xiahai division to arrive at the mouth of Daiqu in time, blocking the way of Zhao Dingxi's department, but also successfully entangled Zhao Dingxi and could not get out in the case of a serious disadvantage in the number of ships in the future, creating time for the arrival of the large army.

How tight was the time?

If Xia Hai's department arrived half an hour late and let Zhao Dingxi enter the Daiquyang waterway, even if he could keep up later, it would be even more difficult to intercept it. Once Zhao Dingxi's department crossed the Daiquyang waterway, which was only fifty miles, and entered the sea off the Changguo Islands on the other side, it would be even more impossible to pursue.

Therefore, the Navy hopes to build more new ships in the future as the standard warships of the Navy.

In addition to the ship, a separate document summarizes the use of firearms.

The matter is still related to Zhu Yuan.

Before leaving last year, Zhu Yuan's training direction for Hua Gao was to develop long-range strike tactics based on firearms as much as possible, and to destroy the enemy before it approached, rather than continuing the traditional gangside jumper.

Huagao apparently carried out the execution very seriously.

At the beginning of the two phases of this naval battle, the reason why Xia Hai led more than 40 steamers to entangle Zhao Dingxi was that they carried a large number of long-range firearms.

Otherwise, although he brought 2,000 people, because his own warships were not only too few but also generally too small, if they were close to the enemy, let alone jumping, Zhao Dingxi's big ships could make their own navy powerless to parry just by relying on pure impact.

This is followed by the second phase.

Entering the night battle, although the Ming army had the advantage, it was also traditionally the easiest to be dragged into a melee by the enemy who was trapped in the beast.

The reason why it was avoided this time was that in addition to Wu Zhen's excellent command, there was another point.

It's still a firearm.

With just the help of firearms, the Ming army struck most of the enemy ships that tried to approach until they collapsed, avoiding hand-to-hand combat to the greatest extent.

Therefore, the Navy proposes that firearms, like ships, need to be paid more attention to next.

There is also a sentence in it.

A certain young battalion envoy who has stepped down from his post and is now in charge of political affairs in Pingzhang, but he agreed last year that he will personally handle firearms after returning to Beijing.

However, this thing, the movement ...... Doesn't seem big enough?

Zhu Yuan quickly finished flipping through the stack of documents in front of him, and when he looked up, the surrounding left minister Li Shanchang, Pingzhang Chang Yuchun, the military department Shangshu Fu Xuan, and the right imperial historian Deng Yu and others had also finished reading it.

Immediately, Lao Zhu, who was at the top, opened his mouth and motioned to a surveyor on the other side: "Tu Xiao, you can give everyone another look at this battle." ”

Tu Xiao just drew a complete military road map of the enemy and us on a map of the sea outside Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was also taught casually by his own husband, and when he heard His Majesty the Emperor's order, he respectfully agreed, looked at everyone in the room, turned his head to the blue line on the schematic map representing the enemy, and said: "At the beginning of this battle, it was the Haikou of Zhao Dingxi, known as the 'Dingxi Army', who set off from the Wa Kingdom, and it took 17 days to arrive at the sea off the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. On the twenty-ninth day of the first month, he came to Jiaxing Haiyan Shimu Town. ”

Tu Xiao said this, Lord Zuo Xiang couldn't help it, and asked knowingly: "That Haikou, how can you be so accurate?" ”

When these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room did not look at the left minister, but subconsciously aimed at someone next to Li Shanchang.

Someone came up with the concept of latitude and longitude.

Someone organized a large-scale nautical chart.

Someone also taught a whole bunch of nautical things, from the 'direction of the wind' to the 'currents'.

Someone......

Someone......

felt that in the eyes of everyone, Zhu Yuan was just an old god.

In the strange atmosphere, His Majesty the Emperor favored his own precious twenty-third grandson, and said: "Didn't Liu Lian admit his mistake, the naval envoy of the camp, and the naval governor's mansion, a bunch of idiots, they couldn't keep the skills that should be kept secret, so that the Haikou could go, what can be done?" ”

Everyone: "......"

Lao Zhu waved his hand again: "Don't say this beforehand, Tu Xiao, you continue." ”

Tu Xiao continued.

Next, basically everyone can see it in the battle report, but Tu Xiao demonstrated this battle on the chart in a more vivid way, making it more clear to everyone at a glance.

After Tu Xiao finished speaking, he retreated to the end of the conference table and sat down, Lao Zhu looked at everyone: "Everyone, tell me about it?" ”

Then, everyone in the conference room subconsciously looked at someone again.

This one...... There's not much to say.

If you want to speak, someone is a good fit.

Because, the whole incident, from the fate to the end, seems to have nothing to do with someone everywhere, but it is related to someone everywhere.

It's like......

Why did Lord Zuo Xiang say that sentence just now?

Who doesn't know that Zuo Xiang is careful.

Zuo Xiangna didn't want to implicate and blame at all, that is......

Eat one's heart out!

Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Lao Zhu directly ordered: "Bairoom, you speak first." ”

Lao Li: "......"

What do I say?

Could it be ...... Am I jealous?

You must know that I just browsed the stack of documents in front of me, whether it was the battle report, or the pleas of the two senior officials, or even the various details after that, among them...... All of them frequently appear in the shadow of a teenager.

There are even a lot of sentences that directly ask for credit for the other party.

Li Shanchang didn't want to approve it, but not with his conscience, but with his brain......

If it weren't for someone's led system of coastal lighthouses......

If it weren't for the ship that someone had proposed to build......

If it weren't for the long-range firearms strategy that someone was asking for......

Anyway, without someone, it is impossible for the navy to respond in a timely manner to this invasion of the pirates, let alone a 'great victory in Daiqu'.

Last month was the 'Great Victory in the White Sea', this time......

Well.

Wrong.

Calculate the time, the twenty-ninth day of the first month, or the previous month.

Two big victories in just one month, not to mention the current one, it is the previous victory in the White Sea, tracing back to the source, or the 'killing chickens and monkeys' strategy proposed by someone. Therefore, even if the first contribution to Baihai's victory was Tang He, if you talk about it in detail, it is a great achievement to be able to recover Gansu so smoothly, and a certain teenager.

Li Shanchang believes that his father-in-law must have all of this in mind.

Let's talk about the present.

Li Shanchang wanted to be implicated according to the two confession documents, but he was not brainless, and his own lord was not a faint king, and it could be seen that although there was a cause and effect, if Zhao Dingxi's department did not get those navigation skills, wouldn't it have invaded the Ming Dynasty?

Even, if you don't attack Jiaxing, but go to Fujian or Guangzhou, or go north to Shandong, for the locality, it will only be a disaster after all. But in that case, the Navy will not be able to deal with it.

After all, although the local coastal guards are under the jurisdiction of the navy, their naval combat capabilities are ...... It's really average.

At present, the core of Daming coastal defense is still the six guards of the Mingzhou Navy.

Zhao Dingxi's department collided directly and was wiped out by the navy neatly, but in fact, it avoided more wars along the coast of Daming.

In short, if you want to play on the topic, you will only be bored.

However, Lord Zuo Xiang was so cautious, and he really didn't want to push the boat down the river, so after a little consideration, he had an idea, and he didn't mention the connection of this war, but said: "My lord, the war report mentions this Dingxi Army...... Eighty percent of them are Japanese people, which can be regarded as the Japanese invasion of our Ming Sea Frontier, and the minister thinks that we can't just give up! ”

Since your navy is so powerful, hmph, let's put more burden on you!
