Lord of the House

Qin Zitan didn't know what the Governor had to ask him and the second son alone. He first stood up to send Wen Chengyun, Deng and others away, and then changed to a pavilion with Shewenzhuang.

"Flying Tiger, is there a 50% chance of winning when the navy of Zhedong is in the battle?" Shewenzhuang asked after the servants brought refreshments.

"Even if you have a 50% chance of winning, you shouldn't take risks." She Feihu has been sitting on the bench for two years, but he is much calmer than before.

Qin Zitan listened to the meaning of the Great Governor, if there is a 50% chance of winning, it seems that he will risk a fight.

It is somewhat difficult to guess the mind of the Great Governor. It is said that the Great Governor should not support the Zhedong Navy to take risks, but Jin'an's side is so passive, it is definitely not a good thing.

There are too many stakes to weigh, and sometimes it is not even purely military. Although Zhejiang and Fujian are led by the She family, the power of the other seven families is not necessarily weaker than the She family. Qin Zitan thought to himself: This is not a good thing.

Shewenzhuang sighed slightly: "Zhe and Fujian are going against the current trend. If you can't advance, you will have to retreat a thousand steps and can't stop." Then he asked Qin Zitan, "What does Zitan think?"

In the past, Qin Zitan only felt that the Grand Governor was in control of the authority and had infinite beauty. At this time, he could understand his difficulties to some extent. What he said about going against the tide was probably the biggest difference between him and Song Fu.

Dongmin is located in a corner, which is the most unfavorable for winning the world. Shewenzhuang is also a literary talent and a military strategy. It is only when it is in the world that it can open up such a situation for Dongmin. It’s just that it meets Li Zhuo first and then Lin Fu, which is somewhat fortunate. Not good.

Li Zhuo's ten-year strategy was blocked, and the elites of Bamin could only retreat below the middle reaches of the Minjiang River. They finally broke Li Zhuo's lineage, but they were frustrated by Lin Bie. Two years ago in the East China Sea battles, if they were to not lose, the elites of Zhejiang and Fujian would probably have already landed in Jiangning City.

Perhaps the governor does not think that the second son should bear much responsibility for the defeat in the East China Sea battles, but the loss of the East China Sea battles has a great impact on the overall situation. To kick the second son aside.

Qin Zitan couldn't help but wonder how the situation would develop after the Donghai Zhu defeated two years ago - first of all, the defense lines of Pingjiang Prefecture and Hailing Prefecture would be smashed, and Dong Yuan would not dare to trade and lead his troops southward. Hangzhou. Meng Yishan might lead the remnants of Ninghai Town to retreat through Danyang Mansion, but Yue Lengqiu could only adjust the length of the Huai Army to cross the river in a hurry. After defeating the Changhuai Army, Jiangdong County could only defend the lonely city of Jiangning. If the Yuan clan hurriedly dispatched Li Zhuo to the south, the Donghu people would take advantage of the weakness to enter...

The world is falling apart, and the extravagant family is sure to seize the land in the south of the Yangtze River!

However, the facts cannot be imagined. The defeat of the East China Sea battles in Huaidong gave the Yuan clan enough buffer time to establish a solid line of defense on the north bank of the Qianjiang River, while the She family was forced to slow down and had to digest the prefectures and counties in southern Zhejiang first. .

The past cannot be traced back. Qin Zitan lowered his head slightly and could feel the governor's gaze falling on him, which made him feel the pressure doubled. There were some things he didn't want to say. For, why?

After thinking for a long time, Qin Zitan said, "Although the eastern front is difficult, as long as the eldest son first enters Jiangxi or Huinan from the western front, the situation will not be so passive!"

"It is best for the Changle Army to enter Jiangxi," She Wenzhuang said. "If the Changle Army cannot enter Jiangxi, the situation on both sides will just be leveled!"

Qin Zitan thought carefully: Luo Xiancheng leading his troops to the south would disrupt Jiangdong County's deployment on the southern front, but if Jin'an disturbed Huaidong, he would inevitably lack a certain edge on the western front, and it was difficult to judge who was superior and who was inferior! Moreover, Huaidong attacked first, which had already hit the morale here first.

She Wenzhuang continued: "Lin Fu should have anticipated that the Changle army would go south, so there would be such a decisive attack - Duke Song once said that this son should be among the two or three in the world, I didn't pay enough attention to it, and I regret it. It's a little late!"

Qin Zitan was horrified and couldn't help but glance at She Feihu. He didn't know that Song Fu, who was ill in Quanzhou, had evaluated Lin Fu so highly.

She Feihu's face was extremely ugly. Song Fu was his father-in-law. Song Jia was trapped in Chongzhou, and he didn't know if he was alive or dead. He married Song Fu's little girl again, and had already given birth to a son. Song Fu's evaluation of Lin Fu made him feel bad?

Besides, how could Song Fu know Lin Bie better than them? Thinking of this, Qin Zitan was already a little afraid to think about it.

Qin Zitan also realized at this time that in the eyes of the Governor, Duke Song and others, a mere woman is as insignificant as an ant in the face of the world's hegemony. Perhaps in the eyes of the Governor, the Second Young Master is not indispensable. of.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, fearing that the extravagant Feihu would be too embarrassing, Qin Zitan said bravely: "All the heroes are competing in the Central Plains, but Huaidong is almost desperate to develop maritime power. In the battle of Huai Si, Lin Fu actually has a better chance. , he didn't use it either... In comparison, the strength of the Zhejiang and Fujian naval divisions has hardly increased substantially in the past two years."

Shewenzhuang nodded, he knew what Qin Zitan meant when he said that Lin Fu had a better chance during the Huaisi war.

Zhejiang and Fujian also discussed at the time that when Liu An'er was besieging Xuzhou, Lin Fu could wait until Yue Lengqiu and the Changhuai Army were annihilated in Xuzhou before concentrating all of their forces to join the Dongyang Army north.

Lin Fu and the Dongyang Army have more than 30,000 elite generals in their hands. It is not a problem to defeat Liu An'er. Even if Liu An'er cannot be defeated, Jiangdong County can only rely on him. Provide Lin Fu with sufficient money and political guarantees - Lin Fu will control the entire Jianghuai region in the first battle, which is not a problem at all.

In exchange for other ambitious heroes, he would never give up this opportunity.

However, Lin Fu did not seize the opportunity. After the Huaisi War ended, he was even restrained by Liu Tingzhou, Liu Shidu and others in Huaidong.

After the Huaisi War, what did Lin Fu do in Huaidong?

Just as Qin Zitan said, Huaidong is almost desperate to focus on developing maritime power.

At this time, looking at Huaidong repairing and defending the seawall, perhaps Lin Fu was more interested in establishing a defense system along the coast of Huaidong. He even did not hesitate to lead his troops to Haidong to fight the Koreans.

In comparison, what are Zhejiang and Fujian doing?

Thinking of this, Qin Zitan dared to look up at the governor and said, "Although Zhejiang and Fujian have acquired shipbuilding craftsmen from eastern Zhejiang after they occupied Mingzhou, their shipbuilding capabilities have been greatly enhanced. However, the newly added shipbuilding capabilities are all Many merchant ships have been built for various households - of course, this is also inevitable. The large increase in merchant ships has strengthened the connection between southern Zhejiang and southern Fujian, and helped the Governor's Office to strengthen control over eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang. They are all satisfied with the existing ship types, and have no intention to invest a lot of resources to build larger, stronger and faster ships, which widens the gap with Huaidong..."

"From Zi Tan's point of view, how big is the gap between us and Huaidong?" Shewenzhuang asked.

"Korean people captured a Huaidong warship at the beginning of the year and tried every means to transport it to Jin'an, but the shipyard dragged it until last month before agreeing to imitate this kind of warship for Zhedong; it was also the second son who went to the shipyard to send After a lot of temper, the shipyard agreed to try to build a five-masted ship." Qin Zitan has also suffered a lot of slack with She Feihu in the past two years. Huaidong has built no less than thirty five-masted ships and owned no less than forty five-masted ships in the past two years."

She Feihu sat on the side with a dumb-looking face, he didn't even dare to say some words in front of his father, but at this time, he let Qin Zitan say something happy for him.

In the past two years, he has been promoting Jin'an to develop sea ships, but he is only responsible for the failure of the East China Sea battles. He doesn't have much weight in Jin'an. to suppress his voice.

Shewenzhuang looked solemn and said: "You continue to say..."

"In the past two years, Huaidong has even planned to dig out the master shipbuilders in Jiangdong County with a lot of money, so that the Longjiang Shipyard, which belongs to the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, has also lost the ability to build five-masted ships for a while. Qin Zitan said, "According to the report from the secret agent in the north, a super sea ship was launched in the Huaidong Shipyard in late September, and the estimated carrying capacity is three or four times larger than the existing five-masted ship—— The load capacity is only one aspect, the structural strength of the two sea-going ships is very different, and the more critical point is that the speed of the Huaidong sea-going ship is obviously better than that of the Jin'an ship. In addition to the gap in shipbuilding technology, in terms of the speed of sea-going ship construction, Huaidong can build six five-masted ships at the same time in four months, and Jin'an may only be able to compare with Huaidong in terms of the number of ships built..."

"So ~www.readwn.com~ Said that the 50% chance of winning by the Zhedong Navy is delusional?" She Wenzhuang also felt that the problem was serious.

In the past two years, the Zhedong navy has been staffed at about 20,000 people, and the warships have been strengthened; the Huaidong navy staff has been about 10,000 people, and there has been no special increase - Qin Zitan knows that the water on both sides is The gap between divisions has widened.

Qin Zitan glanced at She Feihu, then nodded, and said, "Of course! What if the Zhedong Naval Division wins for a while? In naval battles, the first is the loss of warships, and the second is the loss of soldiers. Even if the Huai'an Navy loses and the warships are damaged, Huaidong can make up for it in the shortest possible time - the biggest weakness of Zhejiang and Fujian is here..."

She Wenzhuang looked at the second son She Feihu and asked in a low voice, "Do you think so too?"

"Yes," She Feihu said, "It's okay for the Zhedong Navy to suffer a setback in the first battle, but it will be even more dangerous if it wins by a small margin!"

Naturally, Shewenzhuang didn't need his son to teach him. He was frustrated in the first battle, but he was able to take the defense firmly. If he won, he would covet greater victory. It was not something he could suppress if he wanted to.

Just like they wanted to take advantage of their military strength to consume Huaidong. As long as Huaidong's reserve force is insufficient, the more Huaidong wins, the more empty his foundation will be, and if he loses, he will die without a place to be buried.

Now the situation has reversed. Huaidong's shipbuilding ability is far stronger than this side. The more the Zhedong Navy wins, the more empty the foundation will be, and if it loses, there will be no chance of turning over the capital.

At this time, Song Bo asked for an interview, and Shewenzhuang called him. Song Bo said, "My father sent a letter from Quanzhou, asking the minister to present it to the Governor..."

Shewenzhuang took the letter, opened the seal, and took out the letter inside. There are three big characters written on the letter, and Qin Zitan can see clearly from the seat below: "Can't hit"! My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
