Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 852 Navy Strategy
"Is this the Jingzhou building boat that was seized in the Battle of Xiangyang?" Standing on the building boat, Mu Jing scanned the river with his eyes.

"Report to my lord, this ship has been repaired three times, and it is the only ship in our navy that can be put into combat!"

Gan Ning replied.

He took over Zhang Liao, but he did his homework on many things. He knew everything about the Jingping navy: "With a large ship as the main warship, our Jingping navy will definitely be able to play 70.00% % combat power!"

"70.00%?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"My lord, the Jingping navy is far inferior to the Jingzhou navy and the Jiangdong navy at present, and now the rectification is not good, the soldiers have complaints from me, and the cooperation between the two sides lacks tacit understanding. On the battlefield, I am afraid that the general will fail." Worry too!"

Gan Ning said frankly.

After the Beiwutang military meeting, all ministries entered into intense rectification. However, the Jingping Navy Division was unable to complete the rectification, and the speed was the slowest. That was because of the lack of mutual cooperation.

First, he was originally the general who surrendered to the water bandits, so he was not supported by the generals in the army.

Second, he is too young, has few achievements, and is not aspired by soldiers in the army.

This is tantamount to putting him on top of an oven, and it is difficult to advance and retreat. If the method is light, he cannot restrain the soldiers. If the method is heavy, it will easily cause this mutiny, so every step he takes is very difficult.

Even now, some people in the army have been subdued by him, but there are still some soldiers who are unwilling to accept his order to rectify the army.

"You are a dignified general in the army, but you can't control your subordinates. Gan Ning, a certain regards you so highly, are you planning to disappoint a certain one?"

Mu Jing's words were a bit harsh, but he just wanted to shock Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was driven onto the horse by him.

He is young and inexperienced, these are all shortcomings, other people would not trust such a young man, but Mujing believes that because Mujing has history to back him up, he knows this young man's ability.

"My lord attaches great importance to the general, and the general has nothing to repay. Therefore, the general must not make mistakes in the strategy of the lord because of his aggressiveness. Although the general has sailed around in a small boat, he does not have much experience in the battlefield. Combat experience, even if you are familiar with the art of war, it is far from enough to be the general!"

On the deck, Gan Ning knelt down on one knee, bowed his hands in salute, and said in a deep voice: "The responsibility of Jingping's navy is to compete with all parties in the future. The general will be defeated, but Jingping's navy cannot be defeated. My lord is a young man. The hero, who frightens the world and spreads his prestige far, how can he surrender his reputation to my hands? The last general still suggests to the lord, change generals and rule the army. If there is an old general as the commander, this will definitely improve the combat effectiveness of the navy. The last general is willing to do it Lieutenant General!"

The most rare thing for a person is to recognize his own ability.

Gan Ning is still very young now, only in his early twenties, although he has the name of Jinfan Bandit, he can command a boat to cross the waters in all directions, and he has never been defeated as a bandit, but the battle on the battlefield is not bandit haunting.

He doesn't have much experience in water combat.

Although he didn't understand whether Mu Jing valued him so much for his own talent, or because of the power of the old Yizhou gentry behind him, he still knew himself.

He is a young man.

In the beginning, Mu Jingjing was the commander of the navy. He was still very proud and full of confidence. However, after this period of reorganization and management of the army, he had experienced too many affairs. Among them, because he was not familiar with military affairs, the military affairs were handled very slowly. The combat effectiveness of the division has not been raised.

So he felt a little frustrated and wanted to resign.

"Change?"

The corner of Mujing's mouth slightly raised an indifferent smile, which surprised him a little. In the surprise, there was also a third of disappointment, but apart from the third disappointment, it was more of a kind of joy that he didn't misunderstand the person.

Gan Ning's self-knowledge is much better than Zhao Kuo who only talks on paper.

There is nothing wrong with Zhao Kuo talking about war on paper. It is true that he is familiar with the art of war. The mistake is that he thought that he would be able to fight after reading the art of war. .

Gan Ning suddenly ascended to a high position, but he was able to maintain such a cautious and awe-inspiring heart. This is already the attitude of a famous general.

Mu Jing looked past Gan Ning, and looked at the left and right Sima of the navy, and the left Sima Hou Cong, who was originally the deputy general of Jingping's second army, and was in charge of the Shangyong Camp. The right Sima, Shen Mi , is the old tribe of Gan Ning, who was born in a noble family. He used to be a Jiangzhou county lieutenant. He has the ability to command troops.

"Hou Cong, Shen Mi, as the left and right Sima in the army, you are in charge of the affairs of the army and have the most say. You also think that this Marquis should change his general and control the water division?"

Mu Jing asked the two of them softly.

As Gan Ning's direct descendant, Shen Mi naturally took a firm stand. Whether it was public or private, he supported Gan Ning: "My lord, although the combat power of the Jingping Navy is indeed somewhat insufficient, I will not deny it. It is all because of Zhonglang. The general’s experience in military affairs is weak and the handling of military affairs is slow. However, General Zhonglang has the ability to command the army and is still malleable. He will be regarded as a great tool in the future. Now the navy is on the right track, please think again, my lord!”

"Hou Cong, what do you think?"

Mu Jing stared slowly at Hou Cong. Hou Cong was from Zhang Liao's former army, and Zhang Liaoping was transferred to Jingping's third army general. In fact, he should be allowed to take the position directly, but who knew that there would be a Gan Ning and another Shen Mi took part of the power of Sima of his army.

The people in the army didn't have too complicated thoughts, so he bluntly said: "My lord, General Zhonglang is indeed capable, I don't deny this, but after all, he is too young to be trusted by the soldiers. The pawns are not well tuned, and Fang makes it difficult for the Jingping navy to complete the rectification and improve combat effectiveness!"

"Then who do you think will be the commander of the Jingping Navy?"

Mujing asked again.

"This one……"

Hou Cong didn’t dare to say more. If Gan Ning was a general, he was, but after going through too many battles, his status as a general has long since vanished. Even in Hanzhong, he belongs to Mujing now. In the Land of Dragon Rise, these Hanzhong generals are considered to be direct descendants, but if they want to recommend themselves, they are still a little short.

"Do you want to send General Zhang Zhonglang back?"

"General Zhang Zhonglang is currently rectifying the Third Army, if you are sent back, who will take the post of the Third Army's chief general!" Mu Jing said.

Having said that, Hou Cong fell silent.

"Old Hou, you are quite capable, and you have made countless achievements, so you can see all of them!" Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "But ask yourself, can you be the commander-in-chief of Jing Ping's navy?" Job?"

"My lord, the last general has never had such a heart!"

Hou Cong knelt and bowed his head, and said quickly.

"Don't panic. A certain person didn't come here to question you today, but a certain one just came to adjust the contradiction. It is not appropriate to speak out and commit a crime. If you say it generously, I will ask you. If I appoint you as the general, do you think that you are the leader of the general?" Can you take on the responsibility of the Jingping navy?"

Mu Jing personally helped him up, and said softly.

"The last general can't!" Even if Hou Cong was not reconciled, he had to admit that he couldn't bear the responsibility of the Jingping Navy, but even if he couldn't, could Gan Ning do it? He just refused to accept Gan Ning, and Gan Ning didn't make an inch , The reputation is not obvious, and the sudden rise to the position cannot be recognized by the generals of the army.

"Then you should trust XX!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "Because I think that Gan Ning can do it. You are a veteran of the navy and left Sima in the army. No matter how you treat him, he is your superior. You have to learn to maintain his prestige as a general." , Sometimes your attitude affects the attitude of many people!"

"The general knows his mistake, please punish me, my lord!"

"Hou Cong, I also know that it is difficult to gain a foothold in the army. I insisted on putting Gan Ning in this position. It is understandable for you to feel unwilling, but the most important thing today is the combat effectiveness of the navy. I hope you can do it. Qixin, let's raise the combat effectiveness of the navy first!"

Mu Jing said softly: "As for future battles on the battlefield, if Gan Ning really can't handle this important task, then there is absolutely no doubt!"

"Yes!"

Hou Cong gritted his teeth and nodded in recognition.

Since Mu Jing has personally stepped forward to take the blame for Gan Ning, he can't continue to make trouble. If the trouble continues like this, he will suffer. After all, now Gan Ning is the chief general and he is the deputy general.

"Xingba, come here!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and called Gan Ning to the flagpole. He pointed to the front and asked, "Do you think this river is magnificent?"

"Spectacular!"

Gan Ning nodded.

"I want this river!" Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Can you get it for me?"

When Gan Ning heard this, his pupils changed color.

Along the Yangtze River, from east to west, is the southern territory of the whole world. What a heroic ambition. In an instant, his blood boiled, and he firmly replied: "Yes!"

"it is good!"

Mu Jing encouraged him, and said with a big laugh: "After you get this river for me, I will swim along the river in the future to appreciate the beauty of the river and the vastness of the land!"

"There will be a day!"

Gan Ning's expression became more and more determined.

"Do you still have the heart to quit the general?" Mu Jing asked with a smile.

"The final general is confused, how can he live up to the lord's expectations!"

Gan Ning said in a deep voice.

"It's a good thing for you to know yourself, but..." Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "You have to learn to trust yourself, we are young, what are we afraid of, we won't, we learn humbly, don't understand Yes, we ask humbly, we are willing to learn, we are willing to ask, and we are willing to accumulate this experience. Even if we lose one day, we can start all over again, but if we don’t even trust ourselves, how can we make our soldiers trust you? !"

"My lord's teaching, I will always remember it in my heart!"

The dark cloud in front of Gan Ning seemed to be peeled away. His apprehension and uneasiness disappeared at this moment. Mu Jing had a saying that he remembered, youth is capital, if you don’t understand, you can To learn, to ask, there is nothing inferior to others.

"As long as you can remember, I will entrust you with the naval division. I only look at the results, and I can't bear the process!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "I can't leave Jiangzhou City for a long time. I only have two days. Today, you will take me to inspect the training situation of each battalion of the Jingping Navy. General, convene a naval meeting!"

"promise!"

The generals nodded.

Gan Ning, Shen Mi, Hou Cong and others led Mu Jing to inspect each battalion for training.

The training of each battalion is actually quite good. At present, the warships of the Jingping Navy can be replenished. The shipbuilding workshop in Hanzhong has greatly improved the efficiency. There are quite a lot of new warships currently produced. Fighting ships lead.

As for the building boats, although the craftsmen have unearthed some craftsmanship from the seized building boats, they have not fully understood these shipbuilding techniques, and they dare not try to manufacture them. Try it easily, once you fail, the negative effects will be too great.

However, the current Jingping Navy is much better than the original Jingping Second Army. It is no longer just two or three kittens. After the Battle of Xiangyang, the Navy has begun to digest the experience of fighting on the water.

Mujing replaced Zhang Liao with Gan Ning, not because Gan Ning was superior to Zhang Liao, but because it was appropriate.

In fact he did nothing wrong.

Although Gan Ning's performance in military affairs is still a bit rough, he is not good enough in reorganizing the army, training troops, appeasing the generals, and confiscating the morale of the troops. This has something to do with his experience in leading troops. It's good to have your own unique insights in training in battle.

night.

On the Jingping building ship, in a spacious cabin, the lights are bright, all the school captains and battalion commanders are gathered together, Gan Ning is in charge, Mu Jing is only sitting in the accompanying seat, this meeting, he is just inspecting it.

The meeting was very intense, Mu Jing sat there, didn't say anything, just watched carefully, and had to admit that Gan Ning still lacked prestige and couldn't restrain the people below.

He even wondered if he was a little underwhelming. Gan Ning has talent, but he didn't make it step by step after all. He lacked the qualifications to intimidate generals, he didn't have great military exploits, and he didn't have the reputation of shocking the world.

In fact, the army is the most particular about superiors and subordinates, because military orders are like a mountain, and when fighting, military orders are passed on layer by layer. If the superior officers cannot restrain the subordinate officers, it will easily delay the battle.

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and thought about it in his heart: Wait, give him some more time, if he still can't hold down these officers after the navy enters the battle, then let him retreat first, take it easy, and backfire. , is not good after all.

He can come forward to restrain Hou Cong for Gan Ning.

But he couldn't break the rules in the army and forcibly frighten the generals of the navy for Gan Ning.

Gan Ning himself has no ability, everything is vain.

The meeting was only at midnight, and the captains of all the departments filed out and left the Jingping building ship, but did not stay, but returned to their respective barracks overnight to digest the results of the meeting.

At this time, Mu Jing said: "Xingba, the leader of the general should be majestic. You have no achievements and you are the first, and you will not be recognized by the generals. You should pay attention to this. It is a good thing that you want to calm down slowly, but now You can still let them go, once you are in battle, you will be in danger of failing to respond to military orders!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will never allow such a situation to happen among the Jingping navy!"

Gan Ning nodded.

"Tomorrow I will inspect the newly built shipbuilding workshop in Fengjie Town, and then return home. In the short term, the Jingping navy is only defensive and has no intention of attacking. You still have time to rectify, but you have something to say. If the navy Going out, if you still can't make a promise in the army, then you can only abdicate and make way for the virtuous!"

"promise!"
