Chapter 565: Denglai Navy Forms Combat Strength

"Master, you are wise and wise!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately knelt down, lowered his eyebrows and looked up, and said, "I guess Lin Danhan must be very angry after receiving this edict."

Zhu Youxiao also felt that this thing was a bit too much.

But then again, there is nothing to do about this. Lindan Batuer and Namuzhong are political marriages between Chahar and Yehe, so it is not surprising that such a thing happened.

Especially after Yehe's tribe was destroyed by Jianzhou, Lindan Batuer wanted to "get off" Namuzhong, Kedun.

However, he has been in the grassland for many years and has a great reputation. There are 30,000 households behind him, so he has been put on hold.

In other words, since the demise of Yehe tribe and the death of Jin Taiji at Nurhaci, the marriage between Lindan Batuer and Namuzhong has been in name but not true.

The fat meat was delivered to his mouth, and he couldn't just watch him deliver it to Huang Taiji's mouth. These 30,000 households migrated and could turn into 30,000 cavalry in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, not planning to say more about this matter, and asked instead:

"Zhongxian, what else should I say to me?"

"Nothing can escape my master's eyes." Wei Zhongxian stood up and leaned over. "There is another thing. I think the relationship is important and I must tell you personally."

"Tell me, I'm listening." Fang Luo said this, and Zhu Youxiao turned back to look at Zhang Yan and looked at Wei Zhongxian.

The latter clearly discovered that Emperor Tianqi's eyes, which were still gentle and affectionate, suddenly a hint of coldness appeared, and the sound cooled down with the cold wind in January.

Such changes made Wei Zhongxian dumbfounded, and he was scared and kneeled down dejectedly, looking a little at a loss.

This old man is very sloppy, and Zhu Youxiao didn't know if he pretended or was really afraid of himself.

Wen Tiren has not returned to the court at present, and the Zhejiang Party has not yet achieved success. In the cabinet, many cabinet masters were mostly disciples of the Wei Party before the Donglin eradication, and the Wei Party is still quite powerful in the court.

It takes one step at a time to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Although Wei Zhongxian has been relatively honest last year, he still can't always give him any good face.

I have been given a good face for a long time, and it is hard to guarantee that he will be floating!

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to get to that point with Wei Zhongxian in his heart, but he would never allow the historical "Nine Thousand Years" to appear beside him.

If this old Wei could keep a low profile and not do anything out of order, it would be easier to do anything else.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao deliberately sneered and said:

"What's the relationship between you and me? Just say it bluntly, have I treated you badly?"

Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed like pounding garlic:

"I still remember that the Fujian Governor Nan Juyi, the navy of Penghu, recruited a coastal enemy, named Zheng Zhilong."

It turned out to be about the Zheng family, and Zhu Youxiao's eyes moved slightly.

Calculate the time. When I came to the Ming Dynasty, I have not made any changes in maritime affairs yet. Judging from the time, the fifth year of the Apocalypse was also the time when the Zheng family began to rise.

In the Age of Discovery, but I was bound by the Western Captain and the Eastern Captain.

In addition to the borders, there are increasingly serious natural disasters in the country. If it weren't for the early arrival, everything would have been unknown.

"I remember, what's wrong with him?"

Zhu Youxiao frowned and recalled.

After winning the naval battle in the second year of Tianqi, Fujian General Yu Zizao led the navy's official army to surround Penghu, surrounding the Yicheng built by the Red-haired Fans. He fought for four months and finally recovered Penghu in the spring of the third year of Tianqi.

I have heard of four great victories on the frontier this time, and the southwest personally fought for chieftains and went to the battlefield for the first time. How prosperous is Lu Gong!

In comparison, Haigong is only much inferior to the Battle of Penghu.

Even the Battle of Penghu was due to the large number of ships and high mobility, and the use of unreasonable wolf pack tactics won.

Afterwards, Zhu Youxiao read the battle report. The key to the battle in Penghu was that many naval officers were ready to die and used their lives to hold back the Garen warship that wanted to retreat.

Once the opponent's Garen warship leaves the near sea, the dragon will enter the sea and cannot be beaten even if it cannot be chased.

If that were the case, there would be no cannons in the Battle of the Barbarians.

The power and range of the Zhenlu cannons are slightly higher than the second echelon of the main equipment of the Ming army stationed in various places - the "Shenwei General Cannon", but it is far less than the Red Barbarian cannons at the top of Ningyuan City.

However, in comparison, the Zhenlu cannon is extremely cost-effective, can be loaded with a vehicle and is easy to carry, so it will quickly become the main artillery of the Jiubian Bian Army.

At present, there are basically no changes in the navy in various places in the Ming Dynasty, because there is only one reason, and it doesn’t have that much money.

Zhu Youxiao moved only two places, Fujian and Denglai.

The Fujian Navy once fought against the Dutch fleet and had few combat experience in fighting against the West. As for Denglai, it mainly followed Yuan Keli's advice.

Even the two navy leaders, Fujian and Denglai, have very limited strength now.

The main warship of the Fujian Navy was still the old Cangshan ship. After the Battle of Penghu, the craftsmen of the Military Equipment Department tried to equip the Zhenlu cannon on the Cangshan ship as a ship-based cannon.

It was a pity that it failed.

Facts have proved that the Cangshan ship should have been eliminated long ago. This kind of warship is suitable for combating in shallow water, and it is already very difficult to get the shallow sea.

As for the ship-borne cannon, it is equivalent to handing over a pistol to a child. It is useless and wastes time, energy, and money.

Since the court can only maintain one Denglai Navy in the short term, as a navy with Fu Ship as the main force, the Fujian Navy might as well settle for the second best, and will soon put the Ming army's skilled wolf pack tactics to the extreme!

This was the suggestion of Fujian General Yu Zizao. After careful consideration, Zhu Youxiao finally adopted the suggestion.

Therefore, after the Battle of Penghu, the Fujian Navy added more than 30,000 officers and soldiers.

In addition, small boats and boats were vigorously collected from the people, and nearly 5,000 fire dragon boats were transformed, covering the coast of Fujian, and checkpoints were set up everywhere.

By the fifth year of the Apocalypse, almost five departments and one post and one whistle in ten steps.

In the final analysis, the Fujian Navy is just not good at quality and wins with quantity.

To be rich, a small boat does not cost money anyway, and there are only three or five sailors in each one, so I don’t feel sorry for the loss.

The Fujian Navy of this scale has become the second main navy outside the Denglai Navy, but it is mainly responsible for coastal security and business road maintenance tasks.

The real tough battle also depends on the first main force, that is, the Denglai Navy under the command of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai.

The two palaces of Denglai have a special structure.

Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, was appointed as a member of the first year of Tianqi. At that time, it was temporarily set up to support the Dongjiang Army on the Shandong Peninsula.

As for Shandong, there are only Shandong generals now. The original generals of Denglai were dismissed by Zhu Youxiao in the second year of Tianqi.

In other words, the military and political power of the two prefectures in Shandong Denglai are now controlled by Yuan Keli.

Due to the geographical characteristics of the two provinces of Denlai, which are surrounded by sea on three sides, the navy was unexpectedly developed.

As of June of the fourth year of Tianqi, the Denglai Naval Division under Yuan Keli had become the first main navy in the Ming Dynasty to eliminate all Cangshan ships and small boats.

To put it bluntly, the military division of the Denglai Navy Division is currently one level ahead of the navy divisions in other provinces, barely ties with the West.

All the main forces of the Denglai Navy were large blessed ships equipped with the Hulu Cannon, the Red Barbarian Cannon, the Thousand-Kiln Fran Machine Cannon, and the Shenwei General Cannon, with a total of forty-three ships.

In addition, there are eighty-two medium-sized lucky ships that serve as escort and patrol missions.

Let me put it this way, if the current Denlei Navy fought with the Dutch fleet that invaded Penghu three years ago, the battle situation would be crushed.

The performance of the Dafu ship and its combat effectiveness after entering the sea are equivalent to being on the same level as the Garen warship, and each has its own advantages.

The emergence and widespread use of the Zhenlu cannon in the army even made up for the lack of long-range shooting ability of the Dafu ship.

The Ming Dynasty has many ships and people, and when its combat capabilities are almost tied, this is a huge advantage.

Of course, after five years of vigorous development, only one Denglai Navy can still make a move.

Now Zhu Youxiao can finally say that if the Dutch dares to come again, they can really hurt them!

Even if you run into the deep sea, you can catch up and destroy them!

With the same number of ships as the Denlei Navy, it is definitely not the opponent of the Dutch fleet with extremely high seafarers, but the same thing is said, we have many ships and many people.

After five years of development, there was finally a Denglai Navy, which gave Daming at least the ability to protect himself.

But after all, the navy is not as good as the border army. It is not just a matter of giving out armor, changing equipment, or sending generals to train for a year or two to win the battle directly.

Moreover, the naval warfare talents discovered by Zhu Youxiao are very limited, and the development of the navy still has a long way to go.
