Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1365 The veteran's coming to an end

Thinking of Wang Xiu's outspokenness, with the continuous expansion overseas, although the current high-level guards and navy are many wise and courageous people, they are generally quite vague about the strategic concept of sea power to control land and control waterways, and they are still stuck in the Mabu Army. thinking.

In order to ensure the continuous improvement of the overall quality of the bodyguard navy, it is necessary to boldly use generals from various schools in the bodyguard navy, so that those who really understand the ocean will be promoted. Unfortunately, it will take several generations of hard work to truly achieve this.

Now, with the exception of a few generals who came from large and small schools of the guard navy, they are all on a step-by-step basis, at most at the level of the escort commander or battalion command, and cannot have a strong influence on the decision-making of the army.

Of course, most of these people are not dazzling, and they don't have any merits worthy of attention, but it is this group of people who have created the center of the development of the bodyguard navy and will truly gradually bring advanced theories into practice.

Looking at these great generals, he was the only one who was born in a right way, not even Li Changsheng. He couldn't help but sigh slightly. It's mostly white, but my heart feels sore when I think of this.

Seeing that Li Changsheng and Zhang Guo hadn't spoken, Zhang Rong couldn't go any further. These two masters are not only Wang Xianggong's favorite disciples, but also role models for the young generals of the bodyguard navy, so it's not easy to offend them. Human sea boats are frequently active, should we send more patrol boats?"

Li Bao nodded. The navy of the Jin Army has been hit repeatedly, but it still has some progress. At least the sea fleet of the Song Dynasty cannot go deep into the port to wipe out the enemy. The opponent also comes to the north of Salmon Island from time to time. The other party became more energetic, and said: "Alright, strengthen the patrol boats, and allocate five large patrol boats to form a formation, so that they will never return."

With the conquest of Jiaozhi by the Southern Sea Fleet, even a few resources were occupied. The Northern Sea Fleet said it had a thousand warships, but in fact, most of them were transshipment ships and small boats. There were no more than a hundred real warships with six sails or more. It is really not enough to support several fronts.

What is the concept of cruise ship?That is the ten-sail sea cruiser!How many guards are there in the entire navy?How many were transferred by the Southern Sea Fleet?The reason is that there are only 28 ships left in the entire northern sea fleet, and seven ships are distributed in the outer islands of Koryo.

This powerful sea ship is actually a rebuilt large-scale blessing ship. The outline drawing provided by Wang Xiu is equipped with sharp ship crossbows and catapults, which can fire iron cannonballs. It is the backbone of the guard water army.

Zhang Guo's Tiger Wing Northern Camp must form an escort team to fight across the sea. If you divide up five ships, you may not even be able to form an escort team. In the end, you can only follow Li Bao's strategy, and the Tiger Wing Northern Camp will attack Yanshan.

According to the point of view of the academic generals, attacking Yanshan directly is not the best policy, it is tantamount to head-to-head with the elite Jin army, and it is impossible to achieve the best strategic effect.

"Why should the commander-in-chief make such a big fuss? Those broken ships of the captives are still worth using as my cruise ships? It's really killing chickens." Zhang Guo smiled dryly.It's just a joke, the escort battleship is a sledgehammer, do we need five cruisers?

Li Bao frowned slightly, how could he not know that Li Changsheng and Zhang Guo are in the same clan, and they have cooperated in strategy again, which is a bit difficult to handle.

He thought, after many years of conquering the South China Sea, the two of them were full of conflicts, which he liked to hear, and the generals under his command had no differences, so how could he be at ease as a superior?He is also using contradictions to control the generals. Now that the two most difficult thorns are united, if they really work together, it is gratifying, but it is not that one plus one equals two, but it makes him feel difficult to control.

"The commander-in-chief made a decision, and you dare to intervene in a mere camp?" Shao Qing stared and opened his eyes.

Don't say that Li Bao and Li Changsheng's faces are not very good-looking, even Zhang Rong's muscles twitch. Can this kind of winking person be an envoy?There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of ironic ridicule.

Li Changsheng and Zhang Guo pleaded guilty to Li Bao, got on their horses and galloped down the city. Shao Qing also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly retreated.

Watching them leave, Li Bao's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Hateful."

Of course Zhang Rong knew who he was talking about, and shook his head, "Don't be angry with the commander-in-chief, it's just that the young scholars are arrogant, but there are also reasons for being arrogant, we really can't compare with it!"

Li Bao looked at Zhang Rong in surprise, as if he didn't believe it, but shook his head and said helplessly: "You are too honest!" Because he is loyal and not good at showing himself, he has been unable to show his talents. If he hadn't been transferred to the guard navy, he might not even be a commander of the army.

Zhang Rong shook his head, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I'm being honest, but it's the fact that the commander-in-chief has not lost his vigor in the past. Now is the era of the Wang family's children. Considering that we were lucky enough to meet Wang Xianggong back then, we should be content."

Li Bao remained silent, thinking back then that he was valued by Wang Xiu, went south to preside over the development of the navy, opened up the South China Sea, destroyed the country and conquered it, how magnificent it was!The many brothers he led were also fighting for years to expand the territory of the empire. The 20 years of conquest have passed by in a hurry. Only a few of the old brothers are still there, including himself, Zhang Rong, and Shangguanqian. , Think about it when you are in high spirits, it is inevitable to be a little sad and joyful.

Zhang Rong looked at Li Bao indifferently with his calm eyes, and said peacefully, "Marshal, we are getting old!"

Li Bao also agrees. The new generation represented by Li Changsheng and Zhang Guo is slowly rising. It can be said that the South China Sea expedition in the later period was mainly controlled by these people. Their decisive killings and their understanding and use of naval warfare are veterans. It is unattainable, and it is precisely because of this that there is a plan to land in Yanshan, which can be regarded as the curtain call of the veteran.

He looked at Zhang Rong with complicated eyes, and smiled wryly, "No wonder you didn't fight?"

"Young people are impulsive, wouldn't it be better to let Taiwei Shao go up?" Zhang Rong smiled maliciously.

Li Bao seemed to understand a little bit, Zhang Rong had a calm and relaxed expression when the deputy capital commander Zhiza announced.

"Alas." Zhang Rong smiled bitterly, and sighed: "I can't accept it! You and I are really old. Their knowledge and ability are not comparable to ours. The reason why they haven't replaced us is that we need to suppress the crowd. General, with a few more years of experience, no one can stop their momentum, if you want those false names, it is better to fight your own war."

One radish and one hole, the high-ranking generals and capital schools in the military are limited, and batches of rising talents need higher positions to display their talents. The time these old guys have been in office is really numbered, so instead of fighting for those false names , it is better to really fight a war of your own in your own way.
