"According to normal strategic thinking, we should adopt the strategy of making distant friends and attacking close friends. However, the current situation in Yanyun County is not suitable for this. We must do the opposite and make distant attacks and close friends."
Dugulou had already made a plan in his mind, and now he was talking about it, giving a picture of the country.
"First of all, we must form an alliance with the northern ministries. You have already done this, Crown Prince. Secondly, you need to clarify the relationship between king and minister with Li Wanjiang, but it is beneficial and harmless to him to let him know that the Crown Prince is in Yanyun County. Li Wanjiang is suspicious by nature.
, capable of making decisions but being resourceful, so we must be wary of him going back on his word and attacking us in the future."
"Conflicts with Dazhou are inevitable, but we must control the situation and try to minimize major issues and trivial matters. Fighting is a means, and peace is the goal."
Dugulou has already considered the long term.
"Also, the Crown Prince had better send someone to contact Murong Heng from the Western Regions. It would be best if we could form a private alliance with him, but I don't think he would agree. Then we should at least become friends with him. In this way, our Yanyun County
The western frontier will be stabilized."
In a few words, Dugulou decided on three directions: north, south, and west.
"This is inbreeding, and the next step is to attack from a distance. We currently have only one enemy, and that is the Russians. Tongfeng Port is too important for us. We must win it, and we must win it as soon as possible!"
Dugulou's tone gradually became more majestic, and he unknowingly transformed from a decadent middle-aged man back into the legendary general who commanded thousands of troops and was invincible.
"Shunfeng Port can only be recovered through military attacks. Diplomacy is of no use, because the Russians attach great importance to Shunfeng Port. If they want to control this sea area, they must occupy Shunfeng Port and even the entire harbor. Even if we don't take the initiative to attack it,
In the near future, they will also send troops to attack us."
"The current Queen of Ross is a very powerful woman. Her ambition is much greater than that of many men. I heard that she wants to conquer the entire East, and even the entire world! Haha, it is really a daydream. I, Fu Hanzhong, must be spared.
!”
"What a magnificent statement!" Xiao Chen applauded and praised.
But it is not that easy to attack Shunfeng Port.
First of all, there are at least 10,000 Russian cavalry in Shunfeng Port, as well as at least a dozen large warships and dozens of small warships.
Forget about the cavalry, the most terrifying thing is their navy.
Their current fleet in Shunfeng Port is more powerful than the entire Great Zhou Navy!
As for Xiao Chen, let alone the Navy, he doesn't even have a battleship at the moment...
But I don’t know if you, Han Zhong, are willing to be my navy admiral?
That is to say, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, the Commander-in-Chief, and the Polish Commander-in-Chief.
"My lord, I will obey the order!" I didn't expect Dugulou to agree so readily.
"But Han Zhong, you know that we don't even have a warship at the moment, right? I have to help me build it after you take office." Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed.
"My lord, do your best!" said the lonely corridor.
"Han Zhong, you are not my minister, and I am not your king. It's not affectionate to call me that. You might as well call me boss." Another big stone fell to the ground in Xiao Chen's heart.
He knew the importance of the navy very well, and had already begun to think about the preparations for its establishment, but he had no idea what to do specifically.
Yuntian, Lin Yue, Yue Zhonglin and others do not understand water fighting, only Zhuge Xiaosheng can, but the burden on Xiaosheng's shoulders is already heavy enough, and Xiao Chen can no longer add this important task to him.
If a young student gets sick due to exhaustion, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Now that Dugulou is here and willing to take on this important task... Xiao Chen no longer has to worry about this.
But how easy is it to build a fleet?
Shipbuilding alone cannot be completed in a short time. In addition, sailors and naval guns have not yet been obtained. Even the most optimistic estimate is that it will take a year to build a small-scale navy capable of actual combat.
.
So when are we going to attack Fairwind Harbor?
"Haha, Prince, even if we have a naval fleet now, we are definitely no match for Ross. So if we want to win Sunny Harbor, we can't point to the naval fleet, but must use other methods.
Let's use some means to do something first, we must find some helpers..." Dugulou smiled confidently.
The first helper is of course the Great Zhou Navy. Although the Great Zhou Navy is not strong enough to fight against the Ross fleet, it can at least fight with it!
We are attacking Shunfeng Port, but in order to regain the lost territory for the Great Zhou Dynasty, you, Li Wanjiang, can't just watch and turn a blind eye, can you?
Besides, your navy has been established for so long, and it’s time to pull it out and practice. Without the experience of actual combat, no matter what kind of army, it will never be truly strong.
The second assistant is Japanese?
Xiao Chen said that I was really not familiar with them, but I had dealt with them before and beat them quite badly...
So if you make friends with them now, I'm afraid they won't be happy.
Dugulou said that there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies.
Compared to the Russians, I think they are more willing to be friends with us.
As for the little thing that you beat them up, they will never take it to heart.
In fact, I don’t think we need to take the initiative to look for them now. Maybe in the near future, they may take the initiative to look for us...
Because the Shunfeng Port occupied by the Russians is certainly a thorn in our flesh, and it is also a thorn in the side of their Japanese people!
As for the third helper, it is Tianxuanhui.
Xiao Xinghan is Zhu Yuanfang, right? He is also your biological brother, right?
He is using the banner of countering the Zhou Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty, so theoretically, they should all be under your command, the Crown Prince.
If you personally issue the order, is it okay to mobilize their navy in Yizhou to assist in the battle?
Xiao Chen said that the problem was huge, not to mention that I couldn't mobilize one of their soldiers, even if they were mobilized, they would still be here to fight me!
Also, don’t you know, Han Zhong, that my second brother is about to attack Minzhou County in Dazhou? Two days ago, he sent someone to ask me for money and food.
If he sends troops, he will definitely have to fight with the Zhou Navy. It would be too unrealistic for you to point them at helping us fight the Russians.
Besides, Tianxuanhui and Dazhou are mortal enemies. It is impossible for you to think that their navy will fight side by side with Dazhou navy.
Li Wanjiang is petty, and my second brother is also petty, so no matter how affectionately they look at each other, they will never look at each other, I tell you.
Dugulou said that's not necessarily the case, as long as we understand the two of them with reason, move them with affection, lure them with benefits, and bully them... this matter can still be done.
If you don’t believe me, Prince, let’s just wait and see.
As for saying that Tianxuan will attack Minzhou County, that is pure nonsense!
If I predict correctly, this battle will be over in half a month at most.
If you don't believe it, Prince, let's just wait and see.
Xiao Chen really doesn't believe it, so are you a traitor willing to take a bet with me?
What do you think of a small gamble, just one hundred taels of gold?
"Thank you, boss." Dugulou said.
Yeah? Why are you thanking me?
I bet you a hundred taels of gold, and I’m not giving it to you for free!
