Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 92 The Battle of the Bohai Sea
The training of Dagu saliva masters is proceeding in an orderly manner, and besides Zhu Qi participating in reorganizing the former elite pirates into the original guard system, and then introducing some new training methods, mainly doing ideological work Excellent mid-level officers were placed in the barracks of the guard.

After all, the pirates have been thieves for more than ten years. Although they rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, ideological work must be done. The discipline of an army is naturally the most important thing, but no matter how disciplined the army is, it will not listen to your command , The buttocks are sitting crookedly, so there is a fart for it.

Therefore, there must be no problems with the thinking of the army, and this is true in any era.

It's just that in ancient times, no one would pay attention to this point.

The progress of the adaptation is very fast, and the effect is also very good. Counting all the pirates and the original Dagukou sailors, there are now nearly [-] sailors, and because of the thousand veterans, the guards The training level of the navy is also constantly improving. Veterans lead recruits. This is a fast strengthening of the army in modern times, and it is also an important measure for reorganizing prisoners.

In addition, the guards had been training for a period of time in the past, and now they have been supplemented with elites. With these elites, Wang Chuanqi has made great progress after only one month in charge of naval training.

Even Wang Chuanqi and Zhu Qi took the initiative to ask for a battle, saying that with the turtle boats on hand, as well as the current large and small ships, nearly ten thousand well-trained sailors and sailors, if he fought against Liu Yi's naval force in Liaoyang Pingzhang, then It's really a hammer!

Liu Bowen also followed suit, saying that there is a great chance of winning now, and since no one else knows about the new warships, they should attack as soon as possible to seek a decisive naval battle and decide the battle in the Bohai Sea in one fell swoop!

This sea battle is not like a land battle. The sea battle is mainly about the ship equipment and the sailor's manipulation level, and there is not much requirement for the sailor's individual combat ability.

Moreover, once the decisive battle of naval battles and naval divisions is fought, it will really be a battle that will determine the world. After all, the ships are gone, so it means that they have completely lost their combat effectiveness. They can't go out to sea with some small boats to fight with others, right?

This is the difference between naval battles and battles in rivers, lakes and lakes. In rivers and lakes, you don't need ships. You can probably fight with guns on the shore. In naval battles, you really need ships.

This is why during World War II, there was a fleet doctrine, and the tactics of avoiding war and protecting ships were the same reason. No matter how strong the enemy navy is, as long as our navy maintains its combat effectiveness, it can play a deterrent effect to the greatest extent. .

Of course, this tactic is generally used by the weaker side. If you are strong, who will avoid the battle with you to save the ship? They have always actively sought to annihilate the enemy's main fleet in one fell swoop, and then fished at the gate of your port. sun.

Both Wang Chuanqi and Liu Bowen said that, Zhu Qi was worried and asked Li Jinglong again, Li Jinglong hesitated and said:
"Your Highness, although our army has new warships, after all, the navy has recently been trained, and these pirates have just surrendered. I suggest to be more conservative. The large fleet sticks to the port and dispatches small fleets of fast ships to transport supplies."

Hearing what Li Jinglong said, Zhu Qi felt relieved.

The warplane has arrived!

But how to draw Liu Yi's navy out for a decisive battle?This is a difficult problem.

While Zhu Qi was thinking about it, Liu Bowen smiled slightly and said:

"Why do you need to worry, Your Highness? Wait for the old man to do a little trick..."

………………

Liu Yi, Pingzhang of Liaoyang, was a middle-aged man with a pot belly. There were not many records about him in the history books. He was the chief executive of Liaoyang Province, that is, a separatist warlord, with a navy fleet under his command.

But in any case, this Liu Yi must not understand what is called the doctrine of the existence of fleets, let alone the tactics of avoiding battles and protecting ships. In fact, Liu Yi is very arrogant in his heart.

Next to him is the 20 string-controlling men from Naha, and Liu Yi is in Liaoyang, near the sea, far away from the Ming army. Woolen cloth?
Liu Yi knew about the naval divisions of the Ming army, but it took only two years for them to conquer the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. There are hundreds of large ships, twice as many as the navy of the Ming army!
Not to mention, there is also the help of the Koryo Navy. Although the quality of the Koryo Navy is not very good, there are only 130 to [-] large ships, but together with Goryeo, there are [-] large ships. What can I lose?It's a win.

At this time, Liu Yi didn't know that the Ming army was using the sea route to transport supplies to the tribes who resisted Naha, but recently he also received news that the Ming army's small boats were frequently dispatched.

Liu Yi's dog-headed strategist helped him analyze:
"My lord, it must be that the Ming army is spying on our army's movements. What does it mean? It means that the Ming army is afraid of our army's power! My lord can rest easy in Liaoyang!"

Liu Yi felt that what the dog-headed military master said was very reasonable. As for the words of taking the initiative to attack, seeking a decisive battle, and winning battle exploits, let it be.

Although the Beiyuan court regained a little advantage, Wang Baobao gained a firm foothold in Beiyuan through the Battle of Lingbei, but the current Beiyuan Emperor is already the son of Yuan Shun Emperor, and Aiyou Shili Dala, which is called by later generations Yuan Zhaozong.

Although this Aiyou Shili Dala, like his father Yuan Shundi, had the ambition to revitalize the Great Yuan and regain control of the Central Plains, but ambitions belonged to ambitions, and he was too young after all to be newly promoted to the throne.

There seems to be a little change in the Beiyuan court, but Liu Yi is not clear about the details. Anyway, he is now a separatist in Liaoyang. All envious.

Anyway, as long as my army and navy are still there, the Yuan court will definitely need me, let alone dare to touch me, and I have to give myself money, food and supplies every year. After all, I am defending the side of the Yuan court!

Of course, if there is a good opportunity to easily defeat the Ming army and capture the Ming army's warship sailors, that would be great.

And such an opportunity was soon presented to him.

It was a day in August of the eighth year of Hongwu, the weather was clear, the sea was clear and the river was clear, but the weather was gradually getting cooler. After all, Liaoyang was in the north, not as good as the south with four distinct seasons. After summer, it was winter.

Liu Yi was wearing a fur jacket, sitting on a chair listening to a ditty, and beside him was a beautiful girl kneeling on the ground to help him pinch his thigh. Master, sent a secret letter!
Wang Chuanqi's second master, third master?
Liu Yi was taken aback, Wang Chuanqi of course knew that this guy was a pirate dice on the Bohai Sea, who claimed to be a descendant of Wang Jian, and led a group of unscrupulous pirates to plunder the official ships and merchant ships of the Yuan Dynasty every day. Can the Yuan Dynasty get around him?
Not to mention that quite a few merchant ships belonged to Liu Yi himself, and he suffered heavy losses for this reason. If you want to catch him, you can't catch him. There are many islands on the Bohai Sea. Instead of being close to Koryo, the islands are more.

Wang Chuanqi's ships were not large ships, but all small and medium-sized fast boats. When he saw a large number of seagoing ships approaching from a distance, he immediately fled and found an island to hide.

But two days ago, I heard that this Wang Chuanqi and the unavoidable Daming Prince Liao got together, and now he has surrendered to Daming.

This news is definitely not good news for Liu Yi, Wang Chuanqi still has some strength, and the Liao King is said to be a talent of the heavens, he uses soldiers like a god, and disappears like a ghost.

It was only heard two days ago that Naha was tricked by him. The Ming army attacked everywhere. One side won a big victory, and the other side won another big victory. It is not clear which one is true or false. , anyway, everything that comes out is a great victory.

Liu Yi was still troubled by this, so he ate two extra bowls of rice that night, and called a concubine to accompany him to sleep, so that he could sleep soundly.

He accepted the letter, wondering if it was a letter to persuade him to surrender?Open it up and see it, and you will be happy immediately.

What is written in the letter is not to persuade to surrender, but to surrender!

It is said that since he was recruited by Daming, only Wang Chuanqi was promoted and made a fortune, and the rest followed the vegetable soup without having to drink.

Besides, they won't be robbed anymore, the money they get will be reduced, and women can't play casually anymore, how can this be tolerated?

The most important thing is that His Royal Highness King Liao didn't trust them, and split up their army, making them veritable polished commanders. This is tolerable. Grandpa can't bear it anymore!

The second master and the third master are here to surrender.

Not only surrendered, but even brought a certificate of vote.

Let’s just say that the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty is a brat who is strong outside but capable in the middle. Counting Wang Chuanqi’s navy, there are fifty large ships, and the rest are less than a hundred medium and small ships. Although there are 1 sailors, except for their thousand elite pirates, the rest The number of sea battles waiting to go out to sea is only a handful, at most it is just a mob organized by a group of fishermen, and they have no fighting power at all.

Then he bragged about how powerful his own elite pirates are.

After the blowing was over, the letter said that the King Liao of the Ming Dynasty will lead the navy to go to sea in the near future, and he will send a batch of supplies from the sea to the tribal leaders to support them in continuing to fight Naha to the end. The supplies are very rich.

In addition to a large number of weapons and armor, there are also gold, silver, jewelry, and food for motivation...

The following large-scale content is written about these transported things, and each one is written in great detail.

Seeing this, Liu Yi, who was lying down, couldn't help but propped up his fat body, and then his eyes lit up.

In the end, it was the second master and the third master who said that they would act as Liu Yi's spies and report to Liu Yi the movements of the Ming army navy at all times, so that Liu Yi could seize the opportunity to intercept this batch of supplies, and then defeat them. If the navy of the Ming Dynasty is lucky enough, they can also capture the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty as a prisoner!

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's son. Liu Yi was moved immediately. He held the King of Liao in his hands. In the future, there will be more bargaining chips. Beiyuan can exchange for glory and wealth. , can also be exchanged for glory and wealth!
Of course, what moved Liu Yi the most was the large amount of supplies!This is a real benefit in front of you. If you can get it, then needless to say, how nourishing is your life!

But Liu Yi felt that he should not be too impulsive, and he had to ask the opinions of the military advisers. Those wise kings throughout the ages have always listened to both sides and made them dark. I have to learn from them.

Liu Yi quickly called for the Goutou military division, and showed the letter to the Gootou military division. The Gootou military division was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at some key data, which was indeed the same as what he knew.

Besides, how good can the surrendered officers and soldiers who are bandits expect to be treated?After the troops were broken up, they still didn't let mermaids go. So, he counted, rolled his eyelids, and said overjoyedly:

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord! This is a god-given opportunity, and the villain just figured it out. With these second and third masters acting as internal support, this Daming navy fleet must be in our pocket. With this batch of supplies , let's hurry up to recruit troops, why worry about the uncertainties!"

"Huh? Big deal?"

Liu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then he seemed to have a clue, and then he heard the dog-headed military commander say in a low voice with a serious expression:

"In the past, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan were able to divide the world into three parts. Now, my lord, Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Baobao can also divide the world into three parts!"

Good guy, or how can I say he is a dog-headed military division, and he went straight to the three-point world.

Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has not been published these days, and it has not become popular, the history of the Three Kingdoms is still well-known at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, just like the common people know the stories of Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are also history Celebrities, the history of the Three Kingdoms is also often said by storytellers.

Otherwise, how could the common people in the Hongwu period be able to say the proverb "Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen dominates the mountains and rivers"?

As soon as Liu Yi heard what the dog-headed military commander said, he felt even happier. Pingzhang who didn't want to be emperor is not a good warlord!If there is such an opportunity, he, Liu Yi, will definitely seize it. He will become emperor in the future, and he will be full of power and prestige!

Liu Yi thought happily, and quickly sent a reply according to the method mentioned in the letter, saying that it was for the second head, and the third head was all sealed up. Except for them, everyone who is willing to follow the internal response reward.

I didn't say the specific rewards, anyway, according to the management, it would be over for one person and five taels of silver.

If these pirates really came to surrender, Liu Yi felt that he would treat them like Daming. Of course, it would be impossible to give them a chance to rebel in the future. He directly arrested the second and third masters, and all the soldiers belonged to him. Not beautiful.

Not much gossip, Liu Yi soon became pen pals with the second master and the third master, and the correspondence became more and more frequent. At the beginning, he was very diligent in writing letters by himself. The dog-headed army division helped ghostwriter to write.

But Liu Yi didn't know that he was ghost-written by the Goutou military adviser, and Liu Bowen was also ghost-written on the other side. Anyway, he didn't write both ends by himself.

And soon, King Liao of the Ming Dynasty decided on the time and place to transport a large amount of supplies. Liu Yi received the news and immediately ordered the navy to go out. This time, he has a big vote!
--------

Hongwu eight years, at the end of August.

Li Xiaoliu was standing at the bow of the boat. He has now become the captain from the chief.

In the Ming Dynasty, five people formed a team, the second team was the shi, the third team was the team, the third team was the whistle, the five whistles were the general, and the five generals were the battalion.

Li Xiaoliu was also in charge of No. 30 people on hand. Although he could not be said to be majestic, he was quite proud when he saw the officers and soldiers of the guards chasing after him and shouting "captain captain".

After a month of training, he finally got the mission this time and went to sea to fight.

And Li Xiaoliu was assigned to an extremely rare new type of warship because of his outstanding performance during training. It is also covered with iron sheet, which looks like a turtle retracted into a turtle shell.

The name is also very appropriate, called the turtle boat.

They travel by oars, and when there is no combat mission, they hang behind other big ships and drag them.

But once the fight starts, the turtle boat is very powerful. More than 100 people row together, and the speed is faster than the dragon boat.

In addition to its fast speed and excellent defense, this turtle boat also has weapons such as cannons and firecrackers inside. Although it looks inconspicuous on the outside, it is really armed to the teeth inside, which can be said to be very powerful.

From the perspective of outsiders, of course they don't think much of it. In fact, Li Xiaoliu also thought so at the beginning.

Standing in the cabin, Li Xiaoliu probed to check the situation outside. From a distance, he could see a huge dragon boat flagship, a four-story building with the flag of King Liao of the Ming Dynasty hanging on it, which was really conspicuous. .

There are hundreds of ships of all sizes around, so it can be said that this flagship has been carefully protected, including the turtle boats that Li Xiaoliu is riding on, the number is only ten, but these ten are enough up.

Li Xiaoliu has a lot of confidence in the fighting power of this turtle boat!

After sailing at sea for about a day, the command flags began to be raised outside, and then the sound of cannons was heard from a distance.

Li Xiaoliu knew that he had encountered the enemy army, and it seemed that it was the same as the established plan. The damn Liaoyang Pingzhang Liu Yi's navy was attracted here!
Li Xiaoliu first asked his subordinates to get ready for combat, and the generals began to issue orders. At this time, the middle-level officer who used to chat with them every night patted the gun barrel and said:
"Your brother, Liu Yi, who is not far away, is causing trouble for us! Don't say anything, wait for the war to start, Erlang, look after the command flag, listen to the command, let's beat the mother!"

Needless to say, as soon as Li Xiaoliu heard this, he went through the content of the ideological and political class he had taken every day for more than a month in his mind, and his blood rushed to his heart immediately. When he thought of his son, When I think of the fields at home, when I think of my mother-in-law...

Don't talk about it, I'm going to kill Liu Yi today.

But at this moment, opposite to the fleet of King Liao of the Ming Dynasty, there is a huge fleet composed of [-] large and small warships, which is so vast that it can't be seen at a glance.

The momentum is huge, on the entire ocean, in terms of the draft of the ship's equipment, he, Liu Yi, claims to be the second, and no one dares to be the first!
Liu Yi looked at the famous sailor on the opposite side, and saw that the scale was half smaller than his own, and he felt more at ease. It seemed that he would win!

Liu Yi quickly ordered that the whole army attack to capture the Liao king Zhu Qi alive!

On the Bohai Sea, hundreds of ships are rushing toward each other, and the Bohai Sea Battle, which will determine the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty and the Beiyuan Ocean, kicks off...
