Chapter 232: Commander in court

The navy is not as good as the army, it is purely a highly technical job, and it may not be as strange as the army in terms of tactics, but it is far higher than the army in terms of the difficulty of its command, and the training years of a qualified fleet commander are often much higher than that of the army. Don't say that the courtiers don't understand the affairs of the navy, even Yinzuo himself only knows some theoretical knowledge, and the practical experience is zero, so it is not difficult for Yinzuo to design an exam question, it is rare how to let everyone understand the mystery, at least let the big guy see who wins and who loses, right?

Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, it is not possible to be competent by virtue of personal bravery or resourcefulness, in fact, no matter who is in command this time, it can only be the commander in name, but it is not the turn of the real battle, it is Liu Shuangcheng's job, this is not only clear to Yinzuo, but also the big guys know it in their hearts, even the old man Kangxi understands it in his heart.

The old man Kangxi asked Yinzuo to take out the exam questions, which has multiple meanings: the selection of the commander is naturally one of them, and the second is to see Yinzuo's own ability, but the most important thing is to see Yinzuo's original intention - one is the ability to deal with military affairs, and the other is naturally to see if Yinzuo let the old fourteenth take command out of public intentions, and whether he has the abacus of using the sailor as his own private army. The old man's meaning Yinzuo naturally knows in his heart, but if he knows, he knows that this exam question is still very difficult - if it is too difficult, the big guys can't understand it; It's too simple, several elder brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they can't tell the winner at all.

Before the last dynasty, Yinzuo discussed various possibilities with Wu and Lin, but he didn't expect that the old man Kangxi would let him take the exam on the spot, which made Yinzuo feel a little caught off guard, but since the old man had already spoken, it would not work if he didn't answer, and it would not work if he answered slowly, helplessly, Yinzuo quickly went through the overall battle plan, and immediately had some ideas, and said loudly: "Back to Emperor Ama, as far as the ministers know, there is no large-scale naval division in the Japanese Kingdom, and some are just small gunboats, With the strength of our Great Clear Water Division, it will be easy to defeat it, because the range of our naval artillery is far above the Japanese artillery, so even if it is the shore battery of the Japanese State, it will not be able to stop the landing operation of our Great Clear Water Division, this matter is not very good, but if you want to reduce your own casualties, how to fight the landing battle is the key, and the retainers can provide all kinds of information on Nagasaki, so they will take the timing of the landing battle and the tactics as the test questions, and ask the Emperor Ama to make a decision. ”

The old man Kangxi has been fighting horses all his life, and has experienced countless wars, although most of the battles are on land, but after all, he has led the battle of attacking Taiwan. The battle of the platform has gone through several twists and turns, mostly because the Da Shimizu Division is not the opponent of the Taiwanese Sailor, and the old man himself has studied the command art of the Sailor, but he is not proficient in it, but he still knows the general things. At the beginning, Zheng's sailors were rampant on the sea, often harassing the mainland, and the timing and tactics of landing operations always made the Qing army tired and had little effect, but the old man had a clear understanding of this. Old man Kangxi smiled and said, "Accurate." ”

Yinzuo's face was solemn, and he told the fort settings along the coast of Nagasaki, hydrological conditions, topography, troop strength and deployment, the strength of the Dashimizu Division, the advantage of artillery range, etc., and finally said: "Erchen Qiyu Huang Ama, this time is to choose the commander with this examination question, if it is answered in court, then there are doubts about the order of answering, but if you go back to answer the question, it may be unfair, Erchen thinks that the three younger brothers may wish to go to the study to prepare their own books, and decide the level with this chapter. ”

"Well, if that's the case, it's up to Xiao Liu'er to play." The old man Kangxi looked at the old ten and the others standing in the courtier queue: "Wait until you go to the study to draft the book, which is limited to one hour." Lao Shi and the others hurriedly knelt down to agree, and each got up and went to the study.

Although this early dynasty is mainly to decide to send troops to recruit Dongying, but it is not only this matter to discuss, now the dispatch of troops is a foregone conclusion, just a question of who will be in charge, the courtiers will naturally not discuss more on this issue, taking advantage of the opportunity for the three elder brothers to draw up this chapter, the various ministries have to say things, of course, most of them are trivial things, the real one can be regarded as a big thing is the urgent report sent by the governor of Shaanxi Gan Chengdong - Shaanxi drought, no rain for several months, the poor harvest is a foregone conclusion, He requested that Shaanxi Province be exempted from paying taxes on money and grain, and requested that the warehouse be opened and grain. This is not big, it is not small, the courtiers discussed for a while, argued for a long time, and finally let Lao Jiuyinyu get this beautiful difference of grain.

Yinzuo didn't take the bad things that the ministers discussed to heart at all, so naturally he wouldn't intervene, even if it was a matter that could not only get benefits but also earn fame such as putting grain, Yinzuo didn't bother to intervene, and what he was thinking about was naturally this thing in command - although Yinzuo knew the ability of the old fourteen, but the problem was that the old ten and the thirteenth were not fuel-efficient lamps, if the answer of the big guy was almost the same, how to decide which would be a headache.

Yes, the old fourteenth learned a lot of knowledge of naval warfare from Yinzuo, and he can be regarded as a general, but after all, he has not experienced actual combat, and whether he can make a beautiful plan is honest, Yinzuo has no bottom in his heart, and since the tenth and thirteenth dare to come forward to compete for the commandery, they will naturally not be unprepared. If the three of them each lead a fleet to fight on the ocean, Yinzuo can conclude that the old fourteen will win, but now it is not a fleet battle, but a landing battle, and it is a landing battle with extremely obvious advantages, and it is really difficult to say whether the old fourteen can make a better plan. The water master is an extremely important thing for Yinzuo, if it is not forced by reality, Yinzuo does not want to let others go at all, even the old fourteen Yinzuo is not very reluctant, let alone others, the water master is related to the future of the entire nation.

Time slipped by when Yinzuo was suffering from gains and losses, and an hour came, and the three elder brothers each returned to the main hall of Qianqing Palace with this chapter in their arms, and passed this chapter to the front of the emperor. The old man Kangxi calmly went through the three copies of this chapter, and did not say anything, after thinking about it, he said to Yinzuo: "Little Liu'er, you will be the referee, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Damn, wouldn't it? Why did the old man come up with such a trick again. Yin Zuo really didn't expect the old man to put this matter in his own hands again, and he felt like he was lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, but the old man had already spoken, and it was not okay not to answer, so he had no choice but to take a step forward, knelt down in front of the hall and said, "Erchen respects." The celebrant eunuch Li Dequan quickly picked up the three folds on the dragon case, trotted all the way down the hall, and handed the folds into Yinzuo's hands.

Lao Shi's fold can be regarded as decent, completely open and close, relying on the ship's strong artillery to eat the Nagasaki defenders, using the advantage of artillery range to first eliminate the fort and then use the guns on the battleship to cover the landing of the naval division, using the number of naval divisions and the advanced and combat effectiveness of the advantage to take Nagasaki, this plan is not very clever, but it can be regarded as a feasible way, from this fold it can be seen that the old ten in the navy or made some preparations, this conversion is qualified.

Lao 13's method was much more clever than Lao 10, his idea was to divide the troops and outflank, with the main force to fire outside the port, in order to attract the Nagasaki defenders to concentrate on the port to deploy, and then use a detachment to cover the troop transport ships to land behind the enemy's flank, and quickly outflank Nagasaki, in order to cut off the retreat of the Nagasaki defenders, and strive to completely annihilate the Nagasaki defenders. This strategy is excellent, and it can be seen from this strategy that the old thirteen is not only better than the old eleven in the ability to lead the troops, but also far better than the old ten in the preparation of the maritime affairs.

After reading the excerpt of the old thirteen, Yinzuo was both excited and a little worried, happy that since the launch of shipping, the importance of the navy has been revealed, the old thirteen can make such an excerpt, and naturally there is no less secret work on the maritime affairs on weekdays, which shows that the fourth must also see the role of the navy, and there are such good signs in the top level of the entire court, and the construction of the navy will be hindered a lot. As for worrying, it's not that I'm worried that the old fourteen's folds are not as good as the old thirteen, but that the fourth child is quietly concerned about the navy, if the navy's affairs let the fourth step in, then Yinzuo's overall plan will be exposed, and this is what Yinzuo doesn't want to see, as for how to operate, it's not something that can be figured out at this time, and Yinzuo can only be patient to see the old fourteen's folds.

The tactics of the old fourteenth are basically the same as those of the old thirteen, the difference is that the old fourteenth not only considers the total annihilation of the Nagasaki defenders, but plays the encirclement point reinforcements, the same is to outflank Nagasaki, and also uses the advantage of artillery to defeat the Nagasaki defenders, after eliminating the Nagasaki batteries and the small broken ships of the Nagasaki defenders, launch an attack on Nagasaki, besiege the remnants of Nagasaki, attract the enemy troops in the surrounding area to help, and then ambush in order to completely annihilate the enemy who comes to help, and finally launch an attack on Nagasaki. Obviously, the old fourteenth is more clever than the old thirteenth, and it is also more calm, once the defenders around Nagasaki are destroyed, the Japanese shogunate will have to drag on for a long time to mobilize reinforcements again, and it will be much more relaxed for the Qing army to deploy defense.

After Yinzuo explained the advantages and disadvantages of the three excerpts in detail, the old man Kangxi smiled slightly and said: "I have made up my mind, and I will send troops on September 18, and the fourteenth Baylor Yinyu will be in charge of the handsome seal." ”
