It's not that they don't believe in the ability of this Marquis of Xingguo, Han Yuma.

It's that he believes in his own skills too much.

For water warfare, these people from Chaohu know very well.

Even when Wu Zhen and Wu Liang were still alive, they were not looked at by their Chaohu Water Master.

In front of their Chaohu water master, they can only be younger brothers.

There has always been only Chaohu Lake sailor, teaching others how to fight water fights, when will it be the turn of others to come over and teach them to fight water fights?

If the person who comes to teach them is a person who really knows how to do it, and who has made a name for himself in water warfare in the past, he is a person who is really capable.

Then they believe that they can listen patiently.

But this Marquis of Xingguo is not this kind of person.

As far as they know, the most important reason why the Marquis of Xingguo is so valued by His Majesty and others is that he has good medical skills and has saved the queen's mother.

Later, he was cured and married to a princess.

That's why he has the power he has now.

Such people, if they talk about not seeing a doctor and saving people, then they must admire it tightly.

But now, he is teaching himself and others how to fight water fights.

Then it's really unconvincing.

For these, though, they don't write on their faces either.

After all, no matter what you say, this Marquis of Xingguo was ordered by the emperor to do this.

Moreover, Xingguohou's identity is special, in this case, even if he and others pretend, they must pretend to be taught.

Give Your Majesty, and this Marquis of Xingguo face.

They Chaohu Water Master have been miserable enough.

At such a moment, you can't do it rashly.

Therefore, these people are already ready for the next step, and their brains will be pressed to the ground by Xingguohou and rubbed hard.

Do a good job and listen to what this Xingguo Marquis is talking nonsense.

Han Cheng glanced at the senior generals of the Chaohu Water Division who were present, and felt the strong sense of disbelief in their respect for him.

Although they were trying to cover it up, Han Cheng was not a fool.

How could it not be felt?

In fact, as long as you think about it, you can understand this.

Most of the people who have the ability are arrogant, especially in the field they are good at.

If the ability is not convincing, there will definitely be many people who are not convinced.

Especially for people like themselves, who have never been in contact with water warfare before, it is even more difficult to convince people to come and explain the relevant knowledge to these experts.

It is normal for these people to have such a mentality at this time.

However, Han Cheng did have a strong confidence at this time.

If he had come over to talk to these generals of the Chaohu Water Division about the knowledge of naval warfare before, he would inevitably lack confidence and be easy to show timidity.

But now, talking to them about this, Han Chengna was not stunned at all.

What a confidence!

He didn't talk much, and he didn't try to break the minds of these people.

As the saying goes, it is the mule that the horse pulls out to slip away, and then I will tell you some knowledge of naval warfare on my side, and let them listen to it.

I believe that at that time, when these generals face themselves again, their attitudes will definitely change from one to the other.

Han Cheng thought so, so he asked these generals of the Chaohu Water Division to enter the house with him.

looked at everyone: "The situation is urgent, let's gossip and go straight to the point."

I heard my father and eldest brother say that the two Haikou of Chen Fang on the sea are the most rampant.

Now it has become the biggest obstacle for Daming to carry out market and foreign trade.

In the face of these two arrogant and domineering pirates, I wonder if the generals can have the confidence to win? ”

"Yes! Chen Fang's two Haikou, before this, were only defeated under my Daming Sailor!

Chen Youding and Fang Guozhen are dead, and now they are just the heirs of the two of them, leading some unsuccessful people there, and being thieves at sea, they dare to be arrogant?

Those who are never looked down upon by us,

The battle of the gong and the drum in front of him will definitely kill him until he loses his armor and leaves.

Destroy Chen Fang's two pirates! ”

As soon as Han Cheng's words fell, someone immediately answered.

The voice was particularly firm.

Between the words, he didn't take Chen Fang's two Haikou in his eyes at all.

The person who spoke, Han Cheng already knew what his name was.

is named Yu Tongjiang, and he is Yu Tongyuan's younger brother.

Yu Tongyuan led a part of the Chaohu sailors, together with Zheng He, Wang Dayuan and others, to cross the ocean.

The senior general of the Chaohu Water Division has only two surnames.

One is surnamed Yu, and the other is surnamed Liao.

"That's right! When it comes to water fights, who have I been afraid of?

The banner of Chaohu Water Division was killed with a knife and a gun!

Although most of our fathers and brothers have passed away, we are not afraid of fighting! ”

When it comes to this matter, these generals of the Chaohu Water Division, there is no ambiguity.

One by one, the fighting spirit rushed into the sky.

"If the two warships are the same, my Chaohu sailor is not afraid of any opponent on the water!

Anyone will inevitably be wiped out under the attack of my Chaohu Water Master! ”

Someone opened their mouth and patched it.

This person is Liao Anguo.

After listening to these people's words, Han Cheng nodded: "The Chaohu Water Master is really strong.

The generals' fighting spirit is even stronger, and they have not fallen into the name of Chaohu Water Division.

However, you should also know the current situation of my Great Ming Water Master.

Because I had a group of warships before, I crossed the ocean, and I couldn't come back for a while when I went overseas.

The remaining large warships are limited.

It is impossible to build a large sea ship for a while, so I asked if under the current conditions, can the Chaohu sailor beat Chen Fang's two sea robbers? ”

Hearing Han Cheng's words, Yu Tongjiang, Liao Anguo and others changed their expressions.

"Xingguohou, to tell you the truth, in this case, it is really a bit embarrassing.

On top of the naval battle, there are actually not so many twists and turns.

The most important thing is to see whose boat is tall and whose boat is bigger.

Whoever has a high boat and who has a big boat will have a point!

When fighting, you can be condescending and overwhelming.

The side with a small ship, if you want to capture the side with a big ship, will definitely lose the wind and suffer a lot.

Xingguohou, in this case, I Chaohu Sailor, I dare not say that in the face of the two Haikou of the Chen Fang, I will definitely win.

But what I dare to say is that I, the Chaohu Water Division, dare to charge against such an enemy!

No regrets!

No matter who the opponent is or how big the gap is, even if the Chaohu Sailor is desperate, he can bite off two taels of meat from him!

Won't let it get better! ”

Yu Tongjiang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he said such a thing.

With the pride of Chaohu Water Master, there is also some tragedy.

Their Chaohu Water Division has indeed made supreme meritorious contributions along the way.

It played a great reputation.

This flag of their Chaohu Water Division. It was dyed with blood.

There are too many, too many, the brothers of the Chaohu Water Division, who lost their names in the continuous wars.

Many times the victory is fought to the death with human life.

If it were possible, no one would want to fight to the death.

But if it really comes time for war, this situation will be encountered.

That can only be risked again!

That's what Chaohu Sailor does!

Specialized in tough battles!

After listening to their words, Han Cheng nodded secretly.

It is worthy of being a victorious Chaohu water division.

It's just different!

Although they have some arrogance, when they fight, they really dare to fight.

They have the capital of pride! Also qualify!

Immediately, he said: "Don't worry, I won't let you go and fight to the death with the two Haikou of Chen Fang in this situation."

The life of the Chaohu Water Master is also the life.

Your father and brother, and even you, are great sons!

How many feats have been made for my Ming Dynasty, and how many people have died because of this?

They sacrificed themselves in the great cause of my Ming Dynasty.

I have all my respect for you.

Now, how can you be allowed to use your flesh and blood to use countless human lives to make up for this huge gap on the warship? ”

After Han Cheng's words came out, he suddenly ordered these generals of the Chaohu Water Division to have an unusual reaction.

Many people's bodies trembled slightly, and their hearts seemed to have been hit by something.

There is some fever in the eye socket and a sore nose.

Looking at Han Cheng's gaze, they all changed a lot.

The kind of emotions that were similar to resistance in the face of Han Cheng in his heart were also rapidly subsiding.

They Chaohu Water Master have made a lot of contributions over the years, and they have been wronged.

Especially their Chaohu Water Division, the last representative figure, Liao Yongzhong, the Marquis of Deqing, who was known by His Majesty as a superior general and a wise master, lost his life because of some things

After not even saving their lives, their Chaohu Water Master became a stepmother.

It's going downhill and downhill.

There are even many people who look at their Chaohu Sailor as if they are looking at thieves.

Last year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stretched out his hand to their Chaohu Water Division, and their Chaohu Water Division's life became much better.

Now I heard it again, what this red and purple Xingguo Marquis said in front of the emperor now, it is impossible to say in my heart that I am not moved and do not have mixed feelings.

But in addition to being moved, it also seemed a little strange.

Judging from what they had obtained, His Majesty the Emperor now wanted to open the sea as soon as possible.

Those big war ships, in a short period of time, there is really no way to build them quickly.

So what is the method that the Marquis of Xingguo said?

Han Cheng didn't sell them anything, and then he said, "On top of the water war, there are two major weapons.

In addition to the height of the warship, there is something enough to erase the gap between the two sides.

That's artillery.

Your Majesty's side has already come up with a powerful red-coated cannon.

And now, loading the warship.

A sea ship of 2,000 materials, one can hold 32 guns! ”

Hearing Han Cheng's words, these people were stunned for a moment.

On Zhu Yuanzhang's side, the matter of loading artillery on the ship was kept secret very well.

Until now, even these people don't know about them.

However, it wasn't this that stunned them.

Rather, it is the number of cannons that are loaded into the ship.

How many of them??

Everyone looked a little stunned for a moment.

"Xingguohou, this ...... That's too much, right?

This...... How can it fit?

The bow and stern of the ship are usually equipped with four guns.

How can this fit thirty-two doors? ”

After a deafening silence, Liao Anguo looked at Mei Yin and carefully asked the doubts in his heart.

Han Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not on the bow or stern of the ship."

It is mounted on both sides.

In this way, it will be possible to load a lot more guns.

This is what Your Majesty has asked me to tell you today.

After installing these cannons, my Ming warship is very different from before.

Then, when fighting, the way of fighting must also change.

Otherwise, the artillery will be in vain.

Prior to this, when our Ming sailors were fighting, the number of artillery on the ships was too small, and they were only in battle and could only play an auxiliary role.

The most critical combat method is to pick up the side and jump.

Yes and no? ”

When several people heard this, they nodded one after another.

This is not wrong at all, Han Cheng, the Marquis of Xingguo, said.

"It's different now, it's not people who are fighting, it's artillery.

If there is a strong ship, it must be artillery.

Strong ships and sharp guns cooperate with each other, and that is complementary.

There are only strong ships, no sharp guns, and in addition to rushing during the battle, the rest need to be broadside and jump.

Then fill it with human lives.

But with a large number of artillery, it becomes different, and when you are far away, you can set up a cannon to bombard it!

The reason why there were cannons in the past, it was necessary for people to engage in hand-to-hand combat, rather than mainly covering with artillery.

Or is it because of the limited number of guns loaded on the battleship.

And the power of the artillery is also limited.

Now it's different.

Now the artillery of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly improved.

Compared with before, the power has surpassed a lot.

In addition to this, there is also a welcome change in quantity.

Therefore, the corresponding tactics must also be adjusted.

This method of warfare, which is mainly based on artillery and strikes from a long distance, is fundamentally different from the kind of tactics that the generals were familiar with before this.

That's why Your Majesty asked me to come and talk to the other generals. ”

With the arrival of Han Cheng, he said these words, as a foreshadowing, layer by layer.

The mentality of these people in Chaohu Lake has become very different.

When Han Cheng said these words, he was already willing to listen.

Han Chengdao: "In the past, when you fought, you always fought against the enemy with the bow of the ship.

In the future, when you encounter an enemy at sea, you will need to meet them on the side side.

It is not just one ship that faces the enemy, but all ships that participate in the war must be sideways against the enemy.

It's best to form a long snake formation, one after the other, concentrate your fire, and cover the enemy's advancing artillery!

Beat them to pieces!

Get the most out of your artillery!

In addition, it is necessary to seize the upper hand, maintain a long snake formation, and maintain a 'T' combat posture with the enemy.

In the process of conducting the operation, there are other moves.

For example, after pulling with the thieves to a certain extent, you can make these fleets of ships arranged in a long snake formation turn around in turn.

Use the guns on the other side of the ship to cover the enemy's ship.

Take the zigzag position.

This can also be called kite flying.

Do not give the enemy a chance to fight in close quarters, but rely on long-range firepower to attack, and maximize the advantage of firepower......"

After listening to Han Cheng's words, several people quickly thought about it here.

But what Han Cheng told is relatively new after all.

The ships were equipped with many guns on the side of the warship, which they had never thought of before.

So for a while, although I also felt that I understood a little.

But it's still a bit difficult to get to the bottom of it.

This kind of language description still seems a bit empty.

Han Cheng didn't panic when he saw this, because he came prepared.

Now it's time for someone to lift a box and open it.

I took out a model of a warship.

On both sides of these models, artillery models were also made.

Then the corresponding deduction was carried out directly.

In such a situation, he will talk about it in conjunction with the elementary knowledge of modern naval warfare that he has acquired.

It was much clearer all of a sudden.

It's easy to understand.

In the process of explaining, Han Cheng also took the boat with many artillery guns on the side and tried to deduce it for Yu Tongjiang and the others.

After some deduction, they gradually discovered that this method of warfare, combined with the warship equipped with many artillery, is indeed very ingenious.

Imagine if they were in the middle of a naval battle and encountered such an adversary.

Not at all gives you a chance to engage in melee combat. Only from a distance, constantly wandering, with a large number of artillery, attacking.

And the artillery is still so powerful, it's really a nightmare!

How can flesh and blood withstand these artillery?

I won't even give you a chance to fight to the death!

Just imagine it making your scalp tingle.

Fortunately, now it's their side that has these first.

And in the future, you will use these to fight the enemy!

Yu Tongjiang and Liao Anguo originally did not welcome Han Cheng's arrival, and felt that this was a blind command, a typical layman commanding an insider.

But now, after listening to Han Cheng say such a thing and conducting a certain amount of sand table deduction, these people no longer dare to underestimate anything.

The gaze that looked at Han Cheng changed.

It turned out that they had been too sitting in the well and watching the sky before that.

This Han Horse really knows how to fight water battles, especially naval battles!

The method of using this new type of artillery would have been if it weren't for the fact that this Han Yuma had told him and others, and only relied on himself and others to slowly explore.

If you want to find it out, you don't know how much time it will take and how much loss it will take before you can find it out......

Let's just say that His Majesty has always been reliable in doing things, especially when it comes to designing soldiers and horses to fight, and he will never act recklessly.

Since His Majesty sent Han Yuma to teach himself and others, such a way of fighting, then there must be a reason for him.

Now it seems that it was.

At this time, everyone's attitude has changed greatly!

"Xingguohou, the methods you said about seizing the upper hand are indeed ingenious against the enemy.

Able to use the advantage of artillery to suppress those enemies without temper.

It's just that...... It's just that I don't think it's easy to do.

In the event of actual combat, those enemies who are unprepared at the beginning will definitely suffer a big loss.

But after suffering a big loss, those people will inevitably start to flee.

At this time, how can we destroy these thieves here and finish their work in one battle?

Hearing Yu Tongjiang ask this, Han Cheng was not annoyed.

Instead, he nodded with satisfaction.

This Yu Tongjiang and others are worthy of being people who often fight in water.

In the face of this new type of naval warfare, the ability to accept it is also very strong.

In a short period of time, we have already seen the advantages and disadvantages of some new methods of naval warfare.

At that moment, he began to say: "There is another way, that is, our side, with the advantage of artillery, can take the initiative to let those hostile warships approach, and even surround us."

At that time, we will have the artillery on our side at the same time.

Three hundred guns fired, giving them a close-range face-to-face output.

In this case, how can they escape? ”

After listening to Han Cheng's words, Yu Tongjiang and the others were shocked, obviously feeling something from Han Cheng's words.

At that moment, one by one, they immediately picked up the model on this sand table and began to deduce......

After some battle deduction, one by one, their eyes lit up and became excited.

Xingguo Hou is really a man of God!

This method he said is really good!

If the two sides of the battle have the same firepower, in this case, it is easy to suffer if they adopt such tactics themselves.

But the key point is that at present, the firepower of the two sides of the battle is completely unequal.

Only on his side there are many artillery, and his side can hit the enemy, and others can't hit him.

A one-sided output that belongs to you.

Under such circumstances, when fighting the thieves in the future, the warships on their side can use certain methods to directly insert themselves into the thieves.

Or they lure thieves to come and surround themselves and others.

Then suddenly there is a two-sided fire, and the output is given to the face!

Bombard the pirates.

As long as you think about it, 300 artillery pieces are firing at the same time, and it is still the kind of 300 artillery pieces that have greatly increased their power according to Han Yuma.

I can't even say how cool it feels!

Those thieves will definitely be frightened!

Their warships will be blasted out of many holes, and then they will be buried in the fire with the people on board!

As long as he thought of Chen Fang's two Haikou, he originally thought that he would be able to take down the side of himself and others steadily.

As a result, now, after being stunned by such a big surprise from them, these people's mood has become very comfortable.

They are all people who know the goods, and Han Cheng has made a model of the corresponding warship to conduct simulation exercises.

So soon, you will be able to know that what Xingguo Hou said is true......

It is also because of this that at this time, all the distrust of Han Cheng has disappeared.

It became a deep admiration.

One by one, they pricked up their ears and listened carefully here, and Han Cheng told them about the essentials of naval warfare.

Be as serious as you want.

……

And when Han Cheng and the others were intensively preparing for these things.

The leaders of Chen Fang's two pirates gathered together again, where they discussed how to deal with the affairs of the imperial court.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, although there is competition between us on weekdays, but now, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang, we can definitely let go of our prejudices and beat him hard!

Now, I am looking forward to Zhu Yuanzhang's city port opening as soon as possible, and the fleet will hurry to the sea to ......" (end of this chapter)
