Chapter 227: The Wind of the Thunder Project Rises in the Pacific Ocean (2)
Sending troops is an undoubted thing, in terms of Yinzuo's understanding of the old man Kangxi, this is a sure thing - the old man has a good face, and he will never tolerate anyone who dares to go against the Qing Dynasty, and besides, the treasury is abundant at this time, and he is not afraid of war at all, even if some old fashioned people will jump out to oppose it, it will not interfere with the old man's determination, not to mention that at this time, the call for the main battle of the government and the opposition is extremely high, and the pressure of public opinion is extremely high. Kangxi's old man Rong Ma is not a person who is afraid of things in his life, and it is basically a foregone conclusion to send troops to recruit Dongying, but when will he send troops? Who's in charge? How to fight? To what extent? It is up to you to decide what you want to achieve.
According to Yinzuo's plan, there were only two purposes for attacking Japan: first, to train the ocean-going navy, so that the newly formed Dashimizu Division would have an opportunity to train its troops and prepare for the future hegemony with Britain and the Netherlands; The second is to hurt Japan, open the door of Japan, and make it the object of economic plundering by the Qing Dynasty, after all, Japan's gold and silver are the objects of Yinzuo's concern. In fact, it is not difficult to achieve these two goals, as long as the sailors go to the coast of Japan and bomb indiscriminately, and then take Nagasaki, and directly use Nagasaki as a "concession". If Yinzuo leads the army by himself, it is not difficult to achieve these two strategic goals, even if Liu Shuangcheng is in charge, it is not a problem, but it is a pity that the matter of being in command will not be so simple.
Since the overseas trade has been in full swing, it has been five years now, not to mention that Yinzuo even other elder brothers know very well how backward Dongying is, and it is a sure thing that this battle will be won, so that this military power will have to be contested, who doesn't want to gain fame and fortune? This is Yinzuo's turn to have a headache, the attack on Japan is not to destroy Japan, but to colonize, this war can't be fought too much, not only to hurt Japan, but also to let Japan become a ruin, if you let those brothers toss blindly, everything will be in vain.
It is true that the reorganization of the Great Qingshui Division is the credit of Yinzuo, and it is true that Liu Shuangcheng is Yinzuo's subordinate minion, it is said that Yinzuo is the best candidate to take command, but it is a pity that the old man Kangxi will never let Yinzuo take command - military power has always been the foundation of the stability of the emperor's throne, although the Great Qingshui Division is in an unpopular position in the Qing Dynasty army sequence, but after all, it is an army, and the old man must not tolerate the existence of a private army, even if it is his favorite son. If Yinzuo asked himself to be in charge, the result was not only failed to get the handsome position, but aroused the suspicion of the old man, which was a thankless task, which Yinzuo had discussed with Wu and Lin at the beginning, but there was nothing to say. As for Liu Shuangcheng, although he has always served in the naval division, it is a pity that the weight is too light, and he can't be on the stage at all, at most he can only be the actual commander of naval battles, but it is impossible to take command.
There are also a lot of brothers who claim to know soldiers, in addition to Yinzuo, the tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth all have the reputation of knowing soldiers, needless to say, this time the matter of taking command must be the beginning of another round of struggle between Yinzuo and the fourth and eighth. As far as the relationship between relatives and relatives is concerned, Yinzuo only has the possibility of promoting the old fourteen as the commander, but Yinzuo is still a little worried about the old fourteen, not worried that the old fourteen will establish his own power in the navy, but worried that the old fourteen will make meritorious contributions and fight a lesson war into a protracted war, and furthermore, the old fourteen is also younger, and now he has just reached the age of sixteen, and the old man Kangxi is only afraid that he may not be able to pass it, unless the old fourteen can show superior ability, otherwise it is impossible at all.
As early as the beginning of the formulation of the Thunder Plan, Yinzuo had already taken the old fourteen into account, and he also told the old fourteen about some examples of naval battles and landing battles on weekdays, and as for various tactical drills, he also explained a lot on the drawings, and it is said that the old fourteen is far higher than the old ten and thirteenth in naval warfare theory, but this matter of fighting for the position of commander is not a matter of who can fight and who can't fight, after all, these brothers and Yinzuo have no actual naval combat experience. In terms of the practice of sending troops in the Qing Dynasty, unless it is the old man who is personally recruited, there must always be a veteran or brother to take command, of course, the elder brother can be divided into two kinds: one is really a commander to go to the army, and the other is to sit in the town and not personally participate in the war, in this regard, the old ten, the old thirteen have a chance, and whether the old fourteen can really get the handsome position depends on how Yinzuo operates.
Wu Sidao asked who would be in charge not because he didn't know who should be in charge, but because he told Yinzuo that the matter had not been implemented yet, don't be too happy, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Yinzuo, who is very excited. Yinzuo pondered in his heart for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "The matter of being in charge is naturally to let the old fourteen come forward, and this king is the same, but the old fourteenth kid is not stable, and this king is still a little worried." Well, the news of the Nagasaki incident has already spread, and the old fourteen didn't show up until this moment, and I don't know what trick this kid is playing? "When I think of the old fourteen, Yinzuo is really a little annoyed, this thing always rushes to his own house when he has nothing to do on weekdays, but when it is really time to use him, he is not even a figure.
"According to the report of 'Honghu', the fourteenth master has been busy in the military department these days, and it seems that the fourteenth master is planning to come up with a plan to send the prince again." Lin Xuanyi replied with a smile.
Wu Sidao chuckled and said: "The Fourteenth Master has calculated that the prince has to recommend him, and he won't show up so soon, but it's too soon, and the day after tomorrow will be discussed, presumably the Fourteenth Master will not be able to sit still, the prince might as well wait and talk." ”
Hey, mother's old fourteen, you're playing with us, and you're really sure we have to use him, what a bastard. Now Yinzuo is also a little helpless, shook his head with a wry smile, no longer talked about this topic, and said in a deep voice: "It's May now, the storm season is coming, and it must be September for a real army to be dispatched. Fuyuan Ji's fleet will transfer more people out, and there will be no big problem with fewer ships on the Nanyang route, but the big deal is to make less money, as for the training, let the 'Honghu' send some people to assist Liu Shuangcheng, and let the 'Honghu' and 'Dark Arrow' keep an eye on the fourth and eighth children, the king doesn't want these two goods to spoil the king's big business, so if it can't be done, find them some work to do, so that they don't have anything to do and stare at the sailor. "Yinzuo has a lot of newly developed weapons to test on the sailors, so naturally he doesn't want the fourth and eighth to interfere.
"The fourth master is easy to do, now the fourth master is already very busy, of course, the fourth master will definitely do the matter of helping the old thirteen fight for military power, but once he can't fight, the fourth master doesn't have the spare time to take care of the water division, even if he is a card military quartermaster, he doesn't have the courage, the saint is still watching it, but the eighth master is a little troublesome." Lin Xuanyi said with a smile.
Well, this is reasonable, the fourth child is too busy with his own affairs, and he really has no leisure to take care of the affairs of the water master, but the old eighty-one group has no errand, and he is calculating others all day long, if he wants to do something new in the water master, I am afraid that this old eighty-one will definitely talk nonsense, which is really not fun. Yinzuo frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled and said: "This king has found a job for the eighth child, and the two gentlemen will see if it is feasible: flag affairs." ”
The Manchu and Han Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty is a symbol of force, and it is generally not allowed to engage in other industries, except for the magnates, of course, there are not many people in the Manchu and Han Eight Banners, and there are only those who can find a way to make a fortune. Every year, a large part of the imperial court's finances have to be used on them, and the old man Kangxi didn't see this hidden danger, and he mentioned it a few times, but he never found a good way, so he let it go.
The eight banners of the Manchu and Han Dynasty are full of yellow, inlaid yellow and white, which are called the three flags by the emperor himself; The three flags of the blue flag, the blue flag and the white flag are all in the management of the eighth, the red flag is in charge of the third child, and the red flag is the territory of the fourth, but in fact, the so-called management of these elder brothers is only nominal, how can anyone have the leisure to rectify the flag affairs, and they must not be angry to death by the unscrupulous flag people.
"Flags?" Wu Sidao frowned and thought for a while: "This is feasible, the eighth master now has three banners under his name, and there is no serious messenger, if you can find a relatively feasible way to let the eighth master go busy, it can be done, but this method still has to be pondered." ”
Way? Hey, there's nothing we can do on our own. Yin Zuo smiled and said: "There is no need to rush this matter, just find something that seems feasible, as for the result, it is not important, the key is not to let the eighth child be idle." Yinzuo said it lightly, but it made the two strategists Wu and Lin frown and think hard. At that time, a girl outside the study came to report: The fourteenth master is here.
Hey, this stinky boy finally can't stand it, damn, let's clean him up in a while. Yinzuo smiled and said, "Okay, let the housekeeper welcome him to the court, and the king will go in a while." ”
