A great man is called a great man because he can do what others cannot do.
This is not about how many enemies he killed on the battlefield, but how many enemies he killed on the battlefield with the right people.
The biggest difference between a leader and a warrior is that the leader controls people, and the warriors are controlled by others.
Kerry Thorne was wrong.
He soon knew that he was wrong, and that he was too outrageous. At the moment when he saw the main navy ships slamming into the warships of the Combined Fleet, causing damage to both sides to enter the water and die together.
The fastest warship speed cannot exceed the speed of a straight-line collision.
Because straight impact does not require a turn, this is very long-winded, but...indispensable!
This is a kind of determination, a determination not to regard one's own life as one. After all, it is not something that Kerry Thorne, who regards himself as the best, can understand and understand, but it really happened.
Any flagship attack in this resolute way or suicide is stupid!
But Shi Lang had no regrets because he knew that there was the man behind him, who existed like a god... the God of War!
Those who dare to die will take advantage of it after all.
No one is not afraid of death, and even Wu Zheng is not immune to the common people. Otherwise, he should lead by example and stand in Shi Lang's current position.
Kerry Thorne is obviously more afraid of death. Of course, in his words, noble people will never trade life with inferior yellow-skinned monkeys, which is related to a dignity that cannot be understood by the world.
The navy soldiers could not understand this dignity because in their eyes, there was nothing else except the honor of the soldiers.
Shi Lang didn't understand even more. Victory is victory, just as escape cannot be called separation.
So, when he stood in the original position of Kry Thorne's main fleet, he pointed at Kry Thorne's flagship ten miles away and said: "Sink it... Go back, I'll invite the children to have a big drink!"
Listen, listen, the flagship of the great Dutch Navy commander is worth a big drink in Shi Lang's eyes, but this is obviously the common understanding of the navy soldiers participating in the battle.
Sinking the flagship of the United Fleet Kerry Thorne is not an easy task.
No one took Shi Lang's words seriously, and even the paddlers on the lowest level of Zhoushan Navy's cabin knew that this could not be done.
The range of the gun and the speed of the warship are not as good as that of the enemy ships. How could it be possible to sink the enemy flagship that is already determined to escape?
But no one would think that Shi Lang's order was inappropriate. This is a precious fighting spirit!
There is no wrong saying in any coach, there must be any general.
Kerry Thorne would never expect the soldiers of the joint fleet under his command to be comparable to those of the navy soldiers, so his orders did not mean anything inconsistent - retreat, retreat... the farther away from these lunatics, the better!
....
In this battle, the three major navy forces tried their best to repel the franchises under the joint attack of more than a thousand warships from the Zheng family fleet at the cost of up to 40% of the war losses.
The results of the battle were huge. In addition to being chewed by Shi Lang and Wang Yilin at the beginning of the war, another huge loss to the joint fleet was that under the suicide attack of the fire attack ship, they exchanged 73 main warships for more than 570 fire attack ships.
It sounds like this is not worth it, but people who really understand naval warfare understand that this is an absolutely worth it deal, although it is not very humane.
According to Wang Yilin, he was willing to exchange one hundred fire attack ships for enemy main warships, and he enjoyed it without getting tired of it!
The third biggest loss of the joint fleet came from Shi Lang's pursuit. These two naughtys were obviously crazy and were not afraid of ghosts. Even Wu Zheng and Zheng Sen did not dare to order the pursuit of the joint fleet that had already escaped eastward in the depths of the ocean. However, Shi Lang pursued two hundred miles like crazy.
In desperation, Kerry Thorne dropped 120 main battleships and broke the rear.
This is equivalent to tearing off the fattest piece of meat from the United Fleet.
It is conceivable that if you need a decent Kerry Thorne, how could you leave behind a great Dutch navy that is just a laughing stock?
What he was willing to stay was naturally the warships that other countries used to make up the numbers to show their existence.
This is equivalent to a waste of money Shi Lang, adding a strong mark to his military achievements, a stroke that Wang Yilin was extremely coveted.
Kerry Thorne's choice was simple, and between bad and worse, he wisely chose the former.
There is no doubt that his choice was correct!
....
"I haven't seen each other for many days, and the King of Wu is full of heroic style and charm!"
"Brother Damu, Wu Zheng remembers the feelings of helping him."
"The King of Wu doesn't have to care about it."
"Send it with peaches and plums... Brother Damu doesn't have to be polite."
When Wu Zheng met with Zheng Sen for the third time, the atmosphere of the meeting between the two sides was very harmonious, so harmonious that it almost threw itself into each other's arms.
This is because the wind is strong at sea, and even the giant ships shake violently.
But this is also the reason why the name of the Battle of Tanhushan has never won the name of the Alliance of Tanhushan.
It was not because the two almost rushed into each other's arms "intimately", but because the meeting between Tanhushan, the two major forces among the three anti-Qing forces officially formed a Northern Expedition Alliance.
Is it Zheng Sen suddenly thinking about it, or is it that Wu Zheng wants to cut his flesh and feed the eagle?
In fact, it is nothing right. This is a coincidence of the interests of both parties and a compromise...
The world's general trend will be divided after a long time of harmony, and the division will be combined.
The results of the Northern Expedition Army's Battle in Jiangbei were reflected in the reaction to the south that the weak control of the Qing army made the Zheng army and the Northern Expedition Army face each other head-on.
If the two sides fight, it will obviously make Zheng Sen and Wu Zheng fall into the world's criticism. No one will think that a civil war should break out at this critical moment.
No one dared to take this foul and fire the first shot. What's important is that Li Dingguo of Huguang was still leading his Daxi Army to advance north with the power of the famous king Dasheng. His momentum was invincible.
If Zheng Sen and Wu Zheng start a war, it is equivalent to indirectly pushing Li Dingguo to the top of justice. This kind of thing is something that Zheng Sen absolutely does not want to see, and it is something that Wu Zheng does not want to see.
Zheng Sen couldn't think of the successor of Li Dingguo, why is he the King of Jin and himself the Prince of Yanping?
What Wu Zheng didn't want to see was that Yongli behind Li Dingguo became the real winner of the chess game.
Therefore, this meeting is not so complementary, but better to say that it is each of us to get what we need.
But this is not important. What is important is that Wu Zheng "given" the 63 joint fleet main ships captured by Zheng Sen by Shi Lang, in order to compensate Zheng Lin for the previous losses, who were "robbed" by the navy and received a considerable "interest".
Zheng Sen reciprocates his favor and competes with Wu for a sworn. Next autumn, the Zheng army and the Northern Expedition Army will meet Luoyang - the first level of Zhejiang and Fujian.
The most exciting thing is that the two sides vowed to join forces to fight the Northern Expedition for three years!
But...the specific matters will be discussed carefully afterwards.
This is not perfunctory, on the contrary, it shows the sincerity of cooperation between the two parties.
Because the cooperation between the two armies is never a simple nod by the commanders of both sides. It requires the overlap of ideas and goals of both sides.
Chapter completed!
