Chapter 1325

When Dong Sheng was alive, Shao Fang was upset when he saw him. Now that Dong Sheng died in front of him, Shao Fang was sad from his heart and seldom cried out in a bad manner. People are so strange.

None of the three suggestions put forward by Dong Sheng for Shao Fang were discarded and accepted.

First of all, he burned the memorials on the accusations, so as to stabilize the people's minds, so that the civil and military ministers in the court could unite and unite with the outside world. After that, he reopened Nanyan and restored his official position to his original post. He continued to serve as commander of Huben army. He conferred Marquis on Nanyan and ordered Nanyan to lead Huben army to go south to meet the second army of an and Huan in the south. Next, he urgently recruited Gao Hang and made him marshal of Zhenjiang water division to guard Zhenjiang.

Gao Hang was Xu Lengzhi's deputy general. He was not very old, but he was very talented. He was highly appreciated and valued by him. If the East China Sea Navy did not need someone to take charge of the overall situation, Xu Lengzhi would surely take him to Haowan county to resist the wind force.

Of course, thanks to Xu Lengzhi's failure to take Gao Hang with him, those who do not have to die with him in the city of Pufeng.

Zhenjiang is the northern barrier of the capital city of Mo, where there are 100000 water troops stationed in the country. When Gaohang was recalled to the capital, the East China Sea Navy was also called back. The East China Sea Navy of Mo state has 150000 people and often participates in water battles. It is far better than Zhenjiang Navy in terms of combat effectiveness and actual combat experience. If the East China Sea Navy arrives in Zhenjiang, it will undoubtedly be an insurmountable barrier for the Fengyu united army to March southward. After all, Fengguo and Yuguo are not vassal states which are good at water army.

The only thing to be thankful for is that it will take a long time for the East China Sea Navy to get to Zhenjiang. When Gaohang returned to the capital city from Donghai County, it only needed to ride a horse or ride a carriage on land. However, the ships of the Navy could not walk on land. It had to start from Donghai County, bypass the coastal area, enter the estuary of Zhenjiang, and then follow Zhenjiang upstream and cross the two counties to reach the capital. Even at the fastest speed and such a long distance, Donghai navy has to walk for at least two months Time.

Therefore, for Mo's side, as long as their Zhenjiang navy can stick to it for two months, they can wait until the East China Sea Navy is strong enough to give it an absolute advantage in water war.

Similarly, for the Fengyu united army, they must strive to defeat the Zhenjiang water army and transport the main force of the army across the river within two months before the East China Sea Navy arrives, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the war against mo.

After returning to the capital city, Gao Hang accepted the title of Shao Fang, took office immediately, began to deploy defense in the south of the Yangtze River, and trained and dispatched Zhenjiang Navy. Gao Hang is only in his thirties. He is handsome and has a baby face. He looks much younger than he is.

However, his style was not as weak as his appearance, vigorous and resolute. As soon as he took office, he carried out a drastic rectification of Zhenjiang Navy, and formulated a series of assessment systems. The capable and the mediocre were superior, and those generals who only had money, embezzlement and dereliction of duty were severely punished.

Zhenjiang Navy is a typical young master's army in Mo state. Since its establishment, Zhenjiang navy has never fought a war and is usually neglected in training. Most of the generals in the army are not familiar with water war. Nine out of ten of them are dandies of noble origin. When they come to Zhenjiang Navy, they come to gild to earn some qualifications in the army for future promotion.

For such a water army corps, Gao Hang is also in a headache. Fortunately, Shao Fang's support for him is very strong, and he has been given full trust. Only in this way can a series of measures of Gaohang be carried out.

If we talk about land war, Gao Hang is definitely a layman, but he is an expert in water war. Four generations of his ancestors have been generals of the Navy. Gao Hang is a real naval family.

Gao Hang had not long been commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang Navy, and he had made great achievements. A large number of capable young nobles were promoted by him to hold important positions in the army.

However, Gao Hang also has his limitations. No matter how much he values talents, the generals promoted and valued are basically of noble origin. For those military soldiers with brilliant but civilian origin, he is still excluded from the core of power.

In this regard, he is far inferior to Tang Yin.

For Mo's side of the situation, the wind jade alliance has been through the eye of heaven and the network of spies to understand clearly. In this war against Mozambique, all the troops sent out by Fengguo are the army. Now we are going to fight Zhenjiang, and finally we need to use the water army.

In fact, there was no water army in the old Feng Kingdom (the Fengguo before the annexation of Ningguo). It was only after the Fengguo annexed the eight counties in the northern part of Ningguo that the former water army belonged to Ningguo was taken over. This enabled Fengguo to have a not powerful but not weak water army.

Fengguo's water force is in Ningdi, and there is no water to reach Zhenjiang. It seems that the water force of Fengguo is unlikely to appear in Zhenjiang.

However, this view is quite wrong. As early as when the wind troops went south to attack Mo, the water troops of Ningdi began to move eastward and enter the territory of Fengguo. Then, at the suggestion of the junzhengtang, the Fengguo Navy went to Zhenjiang by land.

Fengguo first made huge wooden planks to fix the boats on. Then, the logs were used as rollers, and the bottom boards were pushed and pulled by manpower to make the ships move on the land. There are 100000 Navy troops in Fengguo, and there are no less than 200 large and small vessels, all of which are transported on land. We can imagine the magnitude of the project.In addition to the 100000 officers and soldiers of the water army, more than 200000 people were recruited for labor. They went from Fengguo all the way to the south, passed through five counties of Mobei, and then traveled half a country of Mo to reach Zhenjiang. The huge cost of this, let the wind country also under the cost.

When the dry land fleet entered the territory of Mo, it was a lot easier. At least, they no longer needed domestic labor, and all the labor was replaced by the prisoners of the Mo army, which saved the Fengguo a lot of expenses. Of course, the Fengren treated these Mo army captives as well as the slaves. On the way to transport the fleet, countless Mo Army prisoners were exhausted.

In any case, shortly after the Fengyu allied forces stationed on the North Bank of Zhenjiang, the water forces of Fengguo were transported to Zhenjiang from Fengguo. The commander-in-chief of Fengguo's water army is Feng Ren, whose name is He Yi, and vice commander is Ning Ren, who are sun Bing and Xu Yan respectively.

In that era when the army was the king, the water army was always ignored in the wind country. Although there were 100000 people and there was a regiment, it did not have the company name and was not included in the Central Army Corps of the wind country.

Most of the other regimental commanders are senior generals, and the second are middle generals. However, He Yi's rank is only one level higher than that of the commander-in-chief, while the rank of sun Bing and Xu Yan, two deputy commanders, is half a level higher than that of the regiment commander.

After the warship arrived in Zhenjiang, Tang Yin personally met with He Yi, sun Bing and Xu Yan.

He Yi was born in the army corps directly under his command, and he could not fight a water war at all. Sun Bing and Xu Yan were eight hundred Navy generals. Their combination is a typical layman leading an expert.

The reason for this is that Tang Yin trusted the Fengren in the early stage and ensured that the Fengren occupied a dominant position in the army. In addition, the water army was not in the scope of Tang Yin's attention, so he was always wrong.

After he Yi, sun Bing, and Xu Yan saluted Tang Yinshi, he asked him if he Yi had any plans to defeat the opposite Mo state Navy.

He Yi used to be the commander of the army under the direct command of Tang Yin. He Yi had never seen the king again since he became commander-in-chief of the water army. Now he is bound to be a little excited.

He didn't even think about it. He said in a loud voice, "tell your majesty, our army has the determination to die in battle, and they all have the confidence to defeat the enemy. Our army will surely defeat the water army of Mo in one go!"

After hearing this, Tang Yin looked up and laughed. He appreciated He Yi's high morale, but the plan seemed to be a little rough. Did he just fight straight?

He laughed for a while, and Fang Rou Sheng asked, "He Yi, according to our investigation report, the new commander of Zhenjiang navy of Mo state is Gao Hang. He knows water war very well. In Donghai County, where water wars happen most frequently, there are many places of interest. Are you confident that you can win him?"

Gao Hang? He yiyagen has never heard of the name. He hesitated for a long time, scratched his hair and said, "as far as the general knows, Zhenjiang navy has loose discipline and insufficient combat power, so it should not be our enemy."

Hearing this, Tang Yin shook his head and said, "all the information you get is from the past, but the situation is very different from before. Since the change of command, most of the mediocre generals in the Zhenjiang navy have been replaced by Gao Hang, and a large number of generals who are proficient in water warfare have been promoted. Moreover, the whole army is diligent in training, and the combat effectiveness of the first mate has been improved. Don't you know that? "

Listening to the king's dissatisfaction, He Yi quickly lowered his head and stammered: "the end will always be on the road, so there are some news, and I don't know what to do"

"I don't know. Won't you ask?" Tang Yin frowned and said, "you know the time of the war, but you don't even care about your opponents. What do you care about all day long?"

This was a reprimand from Tang Yin. However, He Yi replied solemnly: "at the end of the day, we will supervise the transportation of the fleet. We can't let the ships lose a little on the way. Otherwise, we can't afford to have ten heads!"

Tang Yin was so angry that he couldn't laugh and cry. How could he be so stupid? How did he choose him to be commander in chief of the Navy?

Of course, he must have forgotten that Wu Ying recommended He Yi, but he signed the approval himself.

When he Yi didn't see him, Tang Yin still thought he was good. Now when he met, the more he talked about Tang Yin, the more frustrated he became. Relying on such a confused commander, could he really beat Gao Hang, who was entrusted with heavy responsibilities by Shao Fang?
