Chapter 167 Land and Sea Battle

In the early morning again, Xiao Tianjian ordered the emperor to make a decree. In the name of the emperor of the suzerain, the king of North Korea, Li Yu, officially took office as the king of North Korea. At the same time, he ordered the navy to pull out several lucky boats to use as a boat, send personnel to North Korea to announce the decree, and give some gifts to the king of North Korea.

Although the Zheng family's sailors control the sea route, after the Zhoushan naval battle, the tentacles of the Zheng family's sailors have contracted, which has stabilized the situation along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In addition, one ship after another from the Nanjing Chinese Shipyard has been built and launched and delivered to the navy, which greatly increases the strength of the navy.

In addition, after the Spring Festival, Xiao Tianjian issued an order to build a larger shipyard in Ningbo, preparing to start larger-scale shipbuilding in China and North Korea, laying a good foundation for the next step of expanding naval strength.

In addition, considering the use of North Korea to contain slaves, Xiao Tianjian issued a decree in the early morning of the day that in the Dengzhou area, the original group of Chen stationed in this area will be adapted into two divisions. The soldiers are mainly northerners, and will also be used as a reserve force during the future Northern Expedition, temporarily returning to the area of Shandong and Hebei. The leader of Diao Zheng.

Xiao Tianjian did not say the main purpose of the two divisions for the time being, but according to the plan agreed between him and the Ministry of War, after the completion of the training, as the weather gets warmer, the two divisions will first be sent to Pidao, North Korea.

At that time, Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of Pi Island, came out of the town of Pi Island as an isolated division. He was regarded as a thorn in the side of Jiannu. Because of the existence of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army, the slave chieftain never dared to go south to covet the customs. However, it was a pity that Mao Wenlong, a hero of the Ming Dynasty, could not die on the battlefield against Jiannu, but died in the Ming Dynasty. In his hands, he was cheated to Shuangdao and killed by Yuan Chonghuan on trumped-founded charges, which led to the strategic collapse of Daming in the whole Liaodong.

Xiao Tianjian is deeply sorry for this matter, but he has no choice. Now North Korea has a clear attitude, and he has now calmed down the northern provinces and freed up enough strength. In addition, the formation of a navy has enabled him to have this strength and use North Korea to open a new bridgehead on the east side of eastern Liaoning. How could Xiao Tianjian let go of this opportunity?

Of course, the establishment of these two divisions is very unhappy for the Ministry of Household. The establishment of the two divisions will cost a lot of money. Even if Fu Deming raised an objection, he believed that the boundary of Shandong has been determined, and there is no need to compile these two divisions in the area of Dengzhou and Laizhou Prefecture. This consumes too much, not only that, but also Ask Xiao Tianjian to remove a large number of local defenders along the canal.

As a compromise, Xiao Tianjian agreed to Fu Deming's request and ordered that a part of Shandong and Henan should be reorganized from the local garrison of the Ming Army on the spot. The elite soldiers would be left and integrated into the two divisions in Dengzhou, and all the rest were demobilized and placed in agriculture. Only then did Fu Deming keep his mouth shut.

Although Xiao Tianjian is now the one who has the final say, he also allows officials in the government to put forward different opinions, which is also a guiding role for him to implement the new policy in the future. Although many things cannot be implemented now, Xiao Tianjian still needs to be gradually implemented in the future. He can guarantee his life. Be a wise king, but how can you ensure that his descendants can be a wise king in the future? Therefore, at the right time, Xiao Tianjian will still change the system that China has lasted for thousands of years.

After Xiao Tianjian arranged two things, Li Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said, "The Holy Master, now the people and horses of all departments in the south are in place. General Liu's two guards have arrived in Fuzhou Prefecture and Guangxin Prefecture in Jiangxi Province, and they can use troops against Fujian at any time!" I don't know when the emperor decided to start to make the soldiers and horses of various departments start to act! I hope the emperor can make it clear today!"

Xiao Tianjian thought for a moment and asked, "How is the morale of the generals ahead?"

Li Xin bowed and replied, "The morale of all departments can be said to be like a rainbow, and all departments have sent people to Beijing to fight!" General Liu even sent someone to come back yesterday and told Weichen that they were confident that they would reach Quanzhou City within a month after the war began!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded slightly and said, "It seems that the soldiers still have a high desire to fight!" But at present, I think that it is not the time to move troops for the time being. Now Zheng Zhilong has not made a decision. There should be no problem for Lu Shi to capture Fujian, but Zheng's Shuishi is a difficult problem to solve.

But I think it's okay to knock Zheng Zhilong first. Since the soldiers are eager to fight, let Shi Ran's subordinates hit the Xianxia Pass first! As long as Xianxia is closed, the road into Fujian will be declared smooth. If Zheng Zhilong does not get lost, then I can't be blamed for not giving him the Zheng family a chance!

In addition, the navy can't be idle. Although the strength of our navy is not enough to solve the Zheng family's sailors at sea, it can't make the Zheng family's fleet too comfortable.

Ten centipede ships that I ordered to build for the navy a few years ago have now been delivered to the navy, and it is time to use them in this month! The centipede ship is fast, and it can give full play to the advantages of the fast ship. It is a decree to Liu Jiang to send the centipede ship to the coastal area of Fujian to attack the Zheng family's fleet. It does not require them to fight with the Zheng family's water army, but it is necessary to find a way for me to hurt the Zheng family, so that the Zheng family can really feel the pressure we have caused him at sea. Force!

In addition, the Songjiangfu fleet and Zhoushan fleet selected strong warships and moved them to the coast of southern Zhejiang to garrison. If necessary, they can take over the broken centipede fleet, which can attack the coasts of Funing and Fuzhou, and temper the navy first! After all, the navy's pay is not low. If I don't make some achievements, how can I add warships to them?

Li Xin thought about it after listening to it, so he bowed down to accept the order.

For the fact that the salary of the naval generals has greatly exceeded that of the army division, for more than half a year, there has been a lot of noise among the troops, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the army division. They think that the world is basically fought down by their army division, but the advantage is occupied by the navy. Why can their navy take more than the army? The division has more than double the salary and salary of the soldiers, but the Lu Division can't take so much.

For this matter, even made trouble with Xiao Tianjian before the New Year. Liu Jiang's status in the army was far worse than that of those generals. The strength of the navy was not very strong. He was scolded by those army division colleagues. Liu Jiang, the navy, always dared not fart. He could only say that it was difficult for naval sailors to move, so the emperor Only then will the order to increase the salary of the navy.

After Xiao Tianjian learned about this, he did not explain much to the generals of the army division. Instead, he took time to gather Li Xin, Shi Ran, Liu Yaoben and other generals of the army division in Nanjing before the New Year, and took a boat with him. In nominally, he went to Songjiang and Ningbo to inspect the navy.

After the generals followed him out of the mouth of the Yangtze River and went to the sea, a group of generals of the army division knew that they were powerful. They did not know the water at all. After being gently bumped by the waves a few times, they collectively announced that they were dizzy. They vomited a lot on the boat, especially Liu Yao almost spit out all the bile. He lay on the boat board and didn't say anything. He couldn't even take care of the etiquette of any kings and ministers.

Xiao Tianjian deliberately let these people stay in the cabin of the sailors for one night, so that the generals of the army division of the army experienced the taste of sailing on the sea, and the experience of living in the dark and cramped cabin, enduring the unpleasant smell. When they returned to Nanjing from Ningbo, the generals of the army division were fart. It's gone.

When Xiao Tianjian returned to Nanjing, he asked the generals who had previously exceeded the army's sage because of the navy's military's, "What do you think of this trip?"

Of course, the generals understood why Xiao Tianjian did this, so they shook their heads one after another to show that the life of naval generals was not easy, and that they fully understood why the navy's military service was higher than that of the mainland division.

Xiao Tianjian sneered and said, "Don't think that I am a biased navy. This is the practice of all countries. The military pay is higher than that of the army. It is because the naval officers and soldiers pay more. Once they fight at sea, the officers and soldiers often don't even have the opportunity to shrouds, and they can only be buried in the sea for the country!

If I hear again in the future that the military service of the navy is too high and I'm biased, then it's easy to do, and I'll transfer him to the navy! Where is the military's high? If you have the ability, you can get it!"

After listening to this, the generals had to agree with Nuonuo and retreat. From then on, after it spread, no one dared to complain that the salary of the Marine Division exceeded them!

However, Xiao Tianjian did not interfere too deeply in the competition between the marine division and the Lu division. Since ancient times, the marine division in China has actually been a vassal of the mainland division. However, in his era, the status of the marine division was raised to an unprecedented height by him for the first time. He became a completely independent army and became a It is a completely independent service, so it is normal for the marine division to be discriminated against by the land division before there are any outstanding military achievements, which can also force the generals of the marine division to be angry and strive to establish their meritorious deeds. Only in this way can the marine division gradually grow up and form their unique naval culture.

As the current temporary commander of the navy, Liu Jiang, after getting Xiao Tianjian's oracle, he quickly agreed. Over the past six months, the strength of the newly established navy under his command has grown rapidly. Xiao Tianjian, the emperor, has devoted great efforts to the construction of their navy and often goes to the shipyard in person. In just half a year, he went to Ningbo Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture twice to observe the training of the navy. As long as the navy needs it, as long as he knows it, he will give the fastest solution. Moreover, the salary of the naval general far exceeds the salary of the army division general. It can be said that Xiao Tianjian has been to him for more than half a year. They want money, things, and people, all of which reflect the importance Xiao Tianjian attaches to their navy.

In the face of such Long En, the generals of the navy were grateful to Xiao Tianjian, which was also the reason why they continued to move forward bravely and finally recovered the Zhoushan Islands in the battle against the Zheng army.

Since the emperor attaches so much importance to their navy, he has given everything that should be given to them. Now let them show it, how can Liu Jiang dare to complain at all? Therefore, after listening to the order, Liu Jiang immediately sharpened his knife in his heart and made up his mind to go south this time. How can their navy do some more achievements to show the generals of the army division, and let their navy generals stand up in front of the army division in the future.

In addition to the ships launched one after another to deliver them, the navy also set up two marine battalions under the holy intention of Xiao Tianjian, and according to the opinions put forward to them by Xiao Tianjian, in addition to the normal training of the Marine Division Battalion, the two Marine Battalions have also increased the training to go to sea with the ship. There are also some differences between the preparation and the land division. The land battalion is not equipped with heavy artillery. As their firepower support, the tiger squat gun has become a must-have for them, which is more convenient for them to travel with them, and it will not cause too much difficulty when landing.

The main task of the land battalion is not to fight a tough battle, but to focus on surprise battles. The main task is to cooperate with the navy to launch a sudden attack on the shore of the enemy's control area. After occupying the beach head position, it sticks to a large number of soldiers and soldiers to help. Although there are not many people in the two battalions, under the direction of Xiao Tianjian, They are all composed of elite officers drawn from the armies. Although the time to form an army is very short, the combat effectiveness must not be underestimated. In the First World War of Zhoushan, although only one of the two Marine Battalion has just formed an army and has been engaged in the battle, it also showed considerable combat effectiveness. Even Liu Yao has seen the land camp. After the combat strength, they all drooled and wanted to pull the land battle camp under his command. If it hadn't been for Xiao Tianjian's permission, the land battle camp would have been eaten by Liu Yaoben.

Although the navy is still unable to compete with Zheng Jun's navy on the sea, it has also had considerable strength. As long as it is careful, it can also cause considerable pressure on the coast of Fujian.
