Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 232
The navy is no better than the army, it is purely a job with high technical content, it may not be as weird as the army in terms of tactics, but it is far higher than the army in terms of the difficulty of command, a qualified fleet commander The training years of the military are often much higher than that of the army. Without him, the naval commanders have to deal with not only the enemy but also the unpredictable sea.Not to mention that the courtiers don’t understand the navy, even Yinzuo himself only knows some theoretical knowledge, and has zero practical experience. It is not difficult for Yinzuo to design a test question. Understanding the mystery, at least let the big guys see who wins and who loses, right?
Naval battles are no different than land battles. They cannot be accomplished by relying on personal bravery or resourcefulness. In fact, no matter who is in command this time, they can only be in command in name, but the real battle is not their turn. That is Liu Shuangcheng's job. This point is not only clear to Yinzuo, everyone knows it in their hearts, even the old man Kangxi knows it in his heart.

Grandpa Kangxi asked Yin Zuo to take the exam, which has multiple meanings: the selection of a handsome man is naturally the first, and seeing Yin Zuo's own ability is the second, but the most important thing is to see Yin Zuo's heart— ——One is the ability to deal with military and state affairs, and the other is naturally to see if Yin Zuo let the old fourteen take command out of public interest, and whether he has the abacus of using the navy as his own private army.Yin Zuo naturally knew the meaning of the old man, but he knew that this test question was still very difficult-if it was too difficult, everyone would not be able to understand it; if it was too simple, none of the elder brothers would be easy , There is no winner or loser at all.

Before going to court, Yinzuo discussed various possibilities with Wu and Lin, the two counselors, but he did not expect that Mr. Kangxi would ask him to take the exam on the spot. This made Yinzuo feel a little caught off guard, but since the old man has After sending a message, it is impossible not to answer, and it is also impossible to answer slowly. There is no other way, Yin Zuo quickly went through the overall battle plan, and immediately had some ideas, and said loudly: "Report to Huang Ama, according to my son As far as I know, there are no large-scale naval forces in Japan, and some are just small gunboats. With the strength of our Qingshui Division, we can easily defeat them. The forts on the shore of the Japanese country can't stop our Daqingshui Division's landing operations. There is nothing to say about this matter, but if you want to reduce your own casualties, how to fight the landing battle is the key. I can provide various information about Nagasaki , let the timing and tactics of the landing battle be the test questions, please Huang Ama make a clear decision."

Grandpa Kangxi fought countless wars throughout his life. Although most of the battles were on land, he led the attack on Taiwan after all.The battle of the platform has gone through several twists and turns, mostly because the Daqing Water Division is not the opponent of the Taiwan Navy. The old man himself has also studied the command art of the Navy, but he is not proficient, but he still knows the general things.At the beginning, Zheng's naval forces ran rampant on the sea and often harassed the mainland. The timing and tactics of landing operations often made the Qing army exhausted and had little effect. The old man had a clear understanding of this. It can be regarded as hitting the core of the attack on the Wa country.Grandpa Kangxi smiled and said, "Sure."

Yin Zuo's face became serious, and he explained the fort setting, hydrological conditions, terrain and terrain, troop strength and deployment, the strength of the Qingshui Division, the advantage of the artillery range, etc. along the coast of Nagasaki. Huang Ama, this time I am using the test questions to select a handsome man. If I answer the questions in court, I have doubts about the order of the answers, but if I go back to answer the questions, I am afraid that it will be unfair. I think the three younger brothers might as well go to the study room to make their own copies. This chapter decides the level, this minister's humble opinion, please ask the emperor Ama to adjudicate."

"Well, since that's the case, let's play according to Xiaoliu'er." Grandpa Kangxi looked at the old tenth standing in the courtiers' line and said, "Wait, go to the study room for the draft, within an hour." The old tenth After waiting for the others to kneel down and promise, they got up and went to the study.

Although this morning's court is mainly about the matter of sending troops to conquer Japan, it is not the only thing that needs to be discussed. Now that the sending of troops is a foregone conclusion, it is just a question of who will be in command. Naturally, the courtiers will not talk about this issue any more Taking advantage of the time when the three elder brothers were drafting this chapter, various ministries wrote their own stories one after another. Of course, most of them were trivial matters. Report——Severe drought in Shaanxi, no rain for several months, and a bad harvest is a foregone conclusion. Request to exempt Shaanxi Province from taxation on money and grain, and request to open warehouses to release grain.This is not too big, and it is not too small, the courtiers discussed for a long time and argued for a long time, and finally let the old Jiu Yinzhen get this good food delivery job.

Yinzuo didn't pay attention to the messy things discussed by the ministers at all, so naturally he wouldn't intervene, even if it was something like food distribution that could earn both benefits and reputation, Yinzuo didn't bother to go Intervening, what I think about in my heart is naturally the matter of being in command—although Yinzuo knows the ability of the old fourteen, the problem is that the old ten and the old thirteen are not fuel-efficient lamps. If the answers of the big guys are almost the same, How to decide which can be a headache.

That's right, the old fourteen learned a lot of knowledge about naval warfare from Yinzuo, and he can be considered an admiral himself, but after all, he has never experienced actual combat, so Yinzuo has no idea whether he can come up with a beautiful plan. And since the tenth and thirteenth dared to stand up and compete for the handsome position, they would naturally not be unprepared.If the three of them 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 obvious advantages. Can the old fourteen do it? It's hard to come up with a better solution.The navy is an extremely important matter for Yinzuo. If it is not forced by reality, Yinzuo doesn't want to let it go to others at all. Even the old fourteenth Yinzuo is not very willing, let alone other people. related to the future of the entire nation.

Time slipped away when Yinzuo was worried about gains and losses, and when an hour came, the three elder brothers each carried this chapter back to the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and passed this chapter to the emperor.Grandpa Kangxi calmly went through the three copies of this chapter without any expression. After thinking about it, he said to Yinzuo: "Xiao Liuer, you will be the referee. I want to hear your opinion." opinion."

Damn, can't you?Why did the old man come up with such a trick again.Yinzuo really didn't expect that the old man would hand over this matter to his own hands. He felt like shooting himself in the foot with a stone, but the old man had already spoken, and it was impossible not to answer. He had no choice but to take a step forward. Kneeling down in front of the main hall, he said: "Your minister respects the decree." The eunuch Li Dequan quickly picked up the three notebooks on the dragon case, trotted all the way down the hall, and handed the notebooks to Yinzuo.

The old ten's book is quite satisfactory, it is completely open and closed, relying on the strength of the ship's guns to attack the Nagasaki defenders, using the advantage of the artillery range to destroy the fort first, and then use the artillery on the battleship to cover the landing of the navy. The number of divisions, the advanced artillery and the advantages of combat effectiveness won Nagasaki. This plan is not very clever, but it is also a feasible way. From this, it can be seen that the old ten has made some preparations in the navy. This conversion is qualified .

The old thirteen's method is much more clever than the old ten's. His idea is to divide the troops to outflank, use the main force to open fire outside the port, so as to attract the Nagasaki defenders to concentrate on the port for defense, and then use a squadron to cover the troop carrier in the area. After landing on the enemy's side, they quickly outflanked Nagasaki in order to cut off the retreat of the Nagasaki defenders and strive to wipe out the Nagasaki defenders.This strategy is very good. From this strategy, it can be seen that the old thirteen is not only better than the old eleven in the ability to lead the army, but also far better than the old ten in terms of maritime preparations.

After reading Lao Shisan's excerpts, Yin Zuo was both excited and a little worried. What was happy was that since the development of shipping, the importance of the navy has been revealed. Lao Shisan can make such an excerpt. Secretly working on maritime affairs shows that the fourth child must also see the role of the navy. With such good signs in the upper echelons of the entire court, the obstacles to the construction of the navy will be greatly reduced.As for the worry, it's not that the fourteenth is not as good as the thirteenth, but that the fourth is concerned about the navy quietly. If the fourth is to get involved in the navy's affairs, then Yinzuo's overall plan There is a danger of exposure, and this is what Yinzuo doesn't want to see. As for how to operate it, he can't think clearly at the moment, and Yinzuo can only bear to read the old fourteen's book.

The old fourteen's tactics are basically the same as the old thirteen's. The difference is that the old fourteen not only considers the complete annihilation of the Nagasaki defenders, but also plays a siege to fight for reinforcements. It also outflanks Nagasaki and also uses The advantage of artillery defeated the Nagasaki defenders. After destroying the Nagasaki forts and the small broken ships of the Nagasaki defenders, they launched an attack on Nagasaki, surrounded the remnants of Nagasaki, and attracted enemy troops from the surrounding areas to come to help. Ambush to wipe out the enemy who came to help, and finally launched an attack on Nagasaki.Obviously, Old Fourteen’s excerpts are more clever and calm than Old Thirteen’s. Once the defenders around Nagasaki are destroyed, it will take a long time for the Japanese shogunate to mobilize reinforcements again. It's a lot easier to say.

After Yinzuo detailed the pros and cons of the three copies according to the facts, Mr. Kangxi smiled slightly and said: "My intention has been decided. The troops will be dispatched on September [-]th, and the [-]th Baylor Yinti will be in charge of the commander-in-chief."
