Chapter 429: The Proposal of Moving to the Sea (Subscription Requested)

After hearing this, Pang Ban couldn't help but blush, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a saying that the three armies attacked repeatedly, but he forgot about this stubble.

"However, even so, the number of ships of the Fuzhou Navy Division is still several times more than that of the Huaxia Army, so it shouldn't be a loss.

Why do you think you are so afraid?" Pang Ban did not mean to be angry about this little thing, but continued to ask.

"Well, our sailors' boats are all small boats, and the traitors are all big boats, so it will be a great loss to fight.

Not to mention anything else, the rebels are the smallest ships the size of our flagship, and the guns equipped are far and powerful, and we have no problem with a dozen ships on the top of a ship. ”

This official also knows more or less about maritime affairs, and tries to explain it in layman's terms, lest Pang Ban don't know what to do and force everyone to fight, and when something goes wrong, then it will be called unlucky.

Of course, this official also did not make clear some key things, that is, the Western-style cruisers of the Huaxia Army are really powerful, and their speed and sturdiness are comparable to those of similar British warships.

More than 10 years ago, a warship "Amsterd" sent by Britain was only an armed merchant ship, not as strong as a warship, and its artillery equipment was not as good as a warship, but when it went to the waters of Fujian, the Fujian Navy Division mobilized almost all the naval divisions and ships of the whole province, but they could not prevent the other side from breaking through the blockade line of the naval division and then landing near Fuzhou.

Many officials in Fuzhou actually beat the drum in their hearts, not to mention that the entire Huaxia Army Naval Division attacked, relying on these dozen ships in front of them, I am afraid that they would have the ability to defeat all the warships of the Fuzhou Naval Division, otherwise the Fuzhou Naval Division would not have dared to attack and drive away.

It's just that if you lose morale, you must not say it in front of the officials.

"They are all warships, is there such a big difference in combat effectiveness?" Pang Ban couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

Pang Ban has been in the north, almost ignorant of water warfare, I thought that they were all warships, but they couldn't fight one-on-one, two or three against one, they should be able to win, but I didn't expect this gap to reach the extent that more than a dozen of them may not be able to fight one.

In this way, it is very tricky.

There are many monks and corpse soldiers trained in the Inhuman Temple, as well as some strange troops, but none of them can be used in naval battles.

Let the cavalry go on the ship to fight, that's a joke, let the white armor soldiers and other corpse soldiers fight a naval battle, that is even more needless to mention, unreliable.

There are a lot of secretly cultivated monks in the Inhuman Temple, but if they are allowed to fight a naval battle, the most they can do is to use the ship to jump close to the gang to fight, not to mention that the Inhuman Temple is reluctant to waste the monks who have worked hard to cultivate in such a place, even if they are willing, I am afraid that the ship will be sunk long before they jump into the gang.

Pang Ban thought about it for a while, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't pay much attention to it before, but now it seems that the Huaxia Army has always been faintly pressing the Inhuman Hall in terms of troop allocation.

The last battle of Putian proved that the corpse soldiers had almost no effect on the Shangxia army, and basically they had to be destroyed by artillery fire before they got close; the cavalry was relatively better, but it could only play a certain role in diversioning the Huaxia army.

And once it was the turn of the naval battle, these armies that the Inhuman Hall had spent a huge amount of money to cultivate actually had no value in participating in the war.

When he thought of the coastline of the Qing Kingdom from south to north, Pang Ban faintly felt a feeling of liver pain, how to fight this battle.

"If it really doesn't work, just use the old method of the first emperor, not allowing civilian ships to go to sea, and then do the policy of moving to the sea again. A military general said fiercely.

The surrounding officials couldn't help but change their faces, but none of them dared to speak.

The so-called moving to the sea is the way to deal with the Zheng family during the Kangxi period, and all the people within 30 to 200 miles from the sea moved inland, created a no-man's land, and then slowly consumed the enemy.

This method is a good way in the middle of no way, but it hurts too much muscles and bones, and it is too angry among the people, and many officials are obviously reluctant to mention it themselves, so they can't help but jump out when they are stunned.

"The policy of moving to the sea has harassed the people too much, and the Governor is unwilling to adopt the slightest possibility.

However, if you really want to see the last resort, it is impossible to say.

It's just that now it's better to think about how to deal with the traitor's sailors, even if they want to move to the sea, they have to fight a battle to weigh the other party's quality. Yiliang's face looked better, and he said expressionlessly.

"Wow!" the officials said in unison.

The meeting lasted for a long time, and finally a feasible combat plan was discussed.

This time, the commander of the naval fleet was Qiao Daqing, who did not panic when he saw hundreds of large and small fortune ships attacking, but calmly commanded the fleet to launch a round of artillery bombardment against the enemy.

In this battle, the first thing to bear the brunt was a rocket artillery equipped by the navy, not a solid shell.

However, when these officials left the Governor's official residence and went back, they all knew in their hearts that today's so-called meeting was false, and the so-called battle was also false, and what the Governor really wanted to hear was this strategy for moving to the sea.

In the case that the ability of naval warfare is too different from that of the rebels, the only available method is to move to the sea, and the best thing is that there is an excuse to answer the accusations of the court's ineffective suppression of bandits.

Even if the emperor blames at that time, he will say that it is not the minions who are unwilling to do their best, and even this strategy of moving to the sea has been taken out, and everyone has worked hard, so we can no longer blame our Fujian people for not paying attention to the suppression of bandits.

It's just that after all, the so-called policy of moving to the sea has hurt too many people, and Governor Yiliang will not come up with such a desperate plan by himself (Yao Qisheng's ancestral tomb has been picked up by others), and he must let the people below put it forward, and then he will pretend to be helpless and reluctantly agree to implement it as a last resort.

Of course, before the real implementation of the policy of moving to the sea, it is necessary to fight a battle with the rebels, otherwise it will be impossible to say whether it is above or below and will start to move to the sea without fighting.

"Fujian has had a lot of things since then. Many knowledgeable officials sighed in their hearts, and buried their thoughts deep in their hearts and did not say them.

After this meeting, after a few days, the Huaxia Navy began to feel the pressure, not to mention that the Qing army sent several times more reconnaissance ships and observation ships, although they did not dare to really attack the fleet, they always cowered and did not move forward, and they also wanted to find out the situation of the fleet.

The navy has its own intelligence network and its own judgment of the war situation, and it immediately knows in its heart that the Fujian Navy Division has decided to fight a war.

After a while, sure enough, hundreds of warships came out of the Min River and went straight to more than a dozen warships of the Huaxia Army.

The officials in Fuzhou were not wrong about one thing, the navy of the Huaxia Army really fought in three shifts, that is, it was divided into three fleets, and only a dozen ships were sent out to provoke each time.
