Chapter 1277 Battle of Land and Sea

Ever since Xiao Ruxun announced that a military parade in front of Chengtianmen would be held on her birthday, the troops around the capital have been in a state of excitement.

It has to be said that showing one's majesty in front of the emperor and the congratulatory envoys of the various vassal states greatly satisfied the vanity of the generals of the various armies.

In front of the emperor, in front of the congratulatory envoys of the various vassal states, how majestic and majestic is that to spread one's prestige all over the world?

Every general wants to participate in this event.

This event is mainly completed by the four armies, the original Qinglong Battalion, the original Wild Lion Battalion, the Marine Corps and the Imperial Guard directly under the Emperor.

The four aspects themselves have their own contradictions and disputes. When the emperor announced that the number of people participating in the military parade was only 1, or that all armies had to be selected uniformly, the open and secret struggles between the armies continued. Pass.

As early as when the Qin Army was still in the state of the Zhennan Army, there was a big contradiction between the infantry and the navy of the Zhennan Army.

If it is said that in the infantry army, those who followed Xiao Ruxun all the way to the north and south are in charge of the right to speak, then the navy army was completely reorganized after arriving in Burma.

The leader of the navy, Jiang Dahai, was born as a refugee and not a professional soldier, but because of the appreciation of Xiao Ruxun, he became the commander-in-chief of the navy in just three years. Literacy.

So they naturally couldn't get the attention of Zhao Hu and other Yuan Cong veterans, but their rank was as high as Zhao Hu and other Yuan Cong veterans, and there were rewards for fighting, not to mention making the veterans angry.

This is actually nothing. In the traditional sense, no one in the ancient Chinese army valued the navy, and the navy could not compete with the infantry at all. As a typical example of the inland empire, basically the navy of the Central Plains Dynasty had a long period of time. It is only used as an auxiliary to the infantry.

Only in a special period of the Song and Ming dynasties did the navy become more important due to special circumstances. Once this period passed, the navy was immediately beaten back to its original shape and remained in the military port as time went by. Slowly decaying, no longer the style of the past.

But under Xiao Ruxun, the meaning of navy is different. Xiao Ruxun attaches more importance to navy than many people imagined.

Conquering pirates, conquering Luzon, going north to capture Nanjing and cut off the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, conquering Japan and destroying its defense facilities, all these were done by the navy.

When the preliminary army had no battles to fight and the navy fought every day, many excellent soldiers entered the navy. The number and combat effectiveness of the navy expanded rapidly, and the status of the generals of the navy gradually increased.

Now the role of the navy has not only not become smaller, but has become bigger and bigger, and it is already able to compete with the generals of the infantry.

That bastard Jiang Dahai himself was a daring lunatic, he dared to search out the yellow robe from the Nanjing Palace as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, and he instigated many generals to put the yellow robe on Xiao Ruxun together.

It can be said that the Marco Polo Bridge mutiny was completed under the instigation of Jiang Dahai. This guy can be regarded as the chief architect.

Now the generals of the navy and the generals of the infantry are fighting against each other, and the two sides still can't pee in the same pot at all. It is normal to have conflicts.

You have battles and things on your side, but I have nothing on my side, and everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Dahai and his gang still look like loyal dogs. They get some rare things for Xiao Ruxun from all over the world, and send everything to Xiao Ruxun. Also repeatedly tilted towards the navy.

You can say that after the founding of the country, Xiao Ruxun announced the opening of the sea, and the entire Nanyang, East China Sea, Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and other seas are full of merchant ships. If there are too many merchant ships, it is easy for pirates, so the warships of the Daqin Navy have become the unique choice of escort.

Many large caravans will pay for the navy to send out ships to protect them. This is considered as extra money for the navy. Xiao Ruxun does not get a cut of it, but he has to go through the accounts of the audit department, and then return it to the navy to improve the quality of the officers and soldiers of the navy. Life.

So even if there is no battle, the naval warships are still wandering around the world, fighting pirates and making money everywhere, and there is no day of peace. Can the infantry generals who live in the inland training and eat ashes every day see it?
Xiao Ruxun couldn't see it for herself.

The two sides have never been able to urinate in the same pot from the beginning, and there are many conflicts between them. Now they are fighting for the 1 places to participate in the military parade. One can imagine how big the contradiction is.

Anyway, Xiao Ruxun heard more than once that Zhao Hu took his men to Tianjin Wei Port to find Jiang Dahai's bad luck, and the two quarreled more than once by banging tables and smashing benches.

It is said that at the beginning, Zhao Hu joined hands with Jiang Yue, the head of the Wild Lion camp, to find Jiang Dahai's bad luck, to show the unity of the infantry, and to put pressure on Jiang Dahai together.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is bullying the few by relying on the number of people.

The two armies add up to tens of thousands, but how many people are there in the navy?
Clearly a bully.

Of course, Zhao Hu also approached the generals of the Imperial Guards to try to deal with Jiang Dahai together with the Imperial Guards, but Han Degong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, refused.

The Imperial Guard Army was the earliest formation completed during the reorganization of the Qin Army, and the plan was to inherit the battalion numbers of the four major infantry battalions of the original Zhennan Army.

That is, the Qinglong Camp, the Baihu Camp, the Zhuque Camp, and the Xuanwu Camp, plus a brand new and absolutely elite Huanglong Camp, which has the duty of guarding the Forbidden City and protecting the emperor, together form the five major camps of the Imperial Guard.

The Five Great Battalions of the Imperial Guard Army are the absolute elite of the Great Qin Army, and the Huanglong Battalion is even more elite among the elite. All of them are tall, strong, strong and good at fighting, and those who can become generals are naturally not easy to deal with.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard is held by the emperor himself, and the emperor personally controls the military power of the Imperial Guard, not in the hands of others.

But your emperor can't manage the Imperial Guard every day. Naturally, he has to choose a deputy to be in charge of daily management, so Han Degong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, is more important.

Han Degong is not Ningxia Yuancong, nor is he a Burmese refugee, but a high-level military general from Liaodong who is rare in the army.

When Xiao Ruxun led the army into North Korea to deal with the Japanese, there were several expansions of the guard camp, and Han Degong joined the guard camp for the first time.

He was originally a Liaodong soldier who followed Li Rusong to the south. Xiao Ruxun asked Li Rusong for a group of cavalry when he expanded his guard camp, and he was one of them.

From then on, he followed Xiao Ruxun to fight north and south, from North Korea to Burma, and then from Burma to Beijing. When the Zhennan Army was reorganized, he stood out from the personal guard battalion to lead the army, and made many achievements along the way.

When Xiao Ruxun was looking for a candidate for the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Han Degong was selected by Xiao Ruxun from the seven candidates.

Liaodong people belonged to an absolutely disadvantaged group in the Great Qin Army. Even now, they are still an absolutely disadvantaged group in this stall where Li Rusong has made great contributions and the Li family has come back again.
