"Huaidong's ship is large and strong. It can move with the wind on the sea and is faster than a galloping horse. Even if all the naval forces under the jurisdiction of Goryeo counties are gathered together and they are numerically superior, the warship will suffer too many losses and still cannot win.
What should I do?" After changing the candle twice, the morning light filtered in outside the window. He Xiongqi still grabbed Qin Zitan and asked about the details of the naval battle. He was not sleepy, so he took up the attack and defense of Danluo Island.
Ask Qin Zitan for advice.
"The warships on the Huaidong Sea are large and strong, which is their advantage. However, in order to increase the speed of the ship, a ridge is built on the bottom of the Huaidong ship to facilitate breaking waves. The draft is very deep, which is not conducive to shoals and land and river operations," Qin Zitan explained carefully,
"Goryeo mobilized its navy and could hide in land rivers where it was easy to block the mouths of rivers. During war, they could take advantage of the rising tides and use small boats to enter and exit the shoals. They could flexibly engage Huaidong's ships and not necessarily be at a disadvantage."
"If you can't go to the sea, you are always at a disadvantage." Na He Xiongqi pondered what Qin Zitan said about this method of warfare. It is similar to fighting on land based on the city. Although it can regain some disadvantages, it is too limited.
He also asked, "Goryeo is currently trying to resolve the crisis in Danluo, gather naval forces to rescue Danluo, and rescue the governor of Haiyang County. What should we do?"
"It's only two hundred miles of water from Haiyang to Danluo. When the wind is smooth, we can choose to go to sea when the wind is smooth. However, it only takes half a day. It is impossible for the Huaidong Water Camp to gather its troops between Haiyang and Haiyang all the time.
"On the sea between Danluo and Danluo, we can't even find a half-day gap here," Qin Zitan said, "As long as Haiyang County Governor defends Seogwipo City, Goryeo should avoid engaging in sea battles with Huaidong.
, but take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to Xiguipu. As long as we win the control of Danluo Island, Huaidong will have no foothold in Haidong, and Shuiying will naturally no longer be alone overseas!"
"..." Na He Xiongqi was a veteran, and he was thinking about Qin Zitan's words while listening.
"Speaking of which, these are all expedient measures. They are very passive in terms of the timing and location of the battle," Qin Zitan said, "Building a water camp combat force that can compete with Huaidong is fundamental!"
"What Mr. Qin said is true..." Na He Xiongqi nodded in approval.
"Haidong is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is often troubled by pirates. Many counties and counties prepare naval forces and have generals who know how to fight on water. The captain of Shannan County can be regarded as a famous general in naval warfare," Qin Zitan said, "If General Nahe can
Convince Goryeo to use powerful ministers to lead the navy, and you will be more certain of winning!"
"Exhort the powerful minister?" Nahe Xiongqi wrote down the name.
During the day, he had to meet with the Korean Prime Minister. The servant in charge of arranging the schedule reminded him several times, and then He Xiongqi reluctantly let Qin Zitan go back to his residence to rest.
Qin Zitan left, and Azig, who had been sitting with him all night, said with emotion: "This man named Qin has a lot of skills. King Khan wants to recruit talented and learned Han people, can he..."
Na He Xiongqi sighed slightly, shook his head and smiled, and said: "You can't recruit them!"
Qin Zitan's understanding of naval warfare is rare and comprehensive among people in the world.
Nahe Xiongqi has been very careful about naval battles and water camps recently, but there is no precedent to follow. He thought hard, but the results were only superficial. After talking with Qin Zitan for a night, he felt enlightened and knew that if he could win over Qin Zitan
Tan surrendered to Donghu, and Donghu built a water camp to get twice the result with half the effort. However, the She family annexed Zhejiang and Fujian, and had tens of thousands of troops. It was very ambitious. Qin Zitan was highly valued in the She family, and his status was not low. What could Donghu do to make him abandon the She family?
Come to invest?
Just because we can't recruit them doesn't mean we can't cooperate. Donghu is blocked to the north of Yanbei, and the She family is blocked to the south of Zhejiang. There is no direct conflict at the moment, and there is Huaidong, a common enemy, to contain and suppress the Huaidong Army.
The power of the company is the common goal of both parties, and there is a basis for cooperation.
Na He Xiongqi was hesitant, should he take this opportunity to persuade King Khan to form an alliance with the She family?
At this time, someone came from behind the screen, handed a stack of paper to Na He Xiongqi, and said: "I heard the general's instructions. I have copied down everything I said last night verbatim. Please check it out, general!"
"Please sort it out quickly and don't throw away the original manuscript." Na He Xiongqi was afraid that his subordinates might misunderstand him, so he changed Qin Zitan's original words and caused confusion, so he asked people to keep the original manuscript and ordered, "I
After meeting with the Goryeo Kingdom, you read it to me once. If it is correct, send a fast horse to Liaoyang and present it to the Khan King!"
*******************
After leaving the front yard, Qin Zitan rubbed the Taiyangtang. He had not slept all night and was finally very sleepy. The servant behind him asked: "Sir, tell me without reservation, if the Donghu people build an elite water camp,
It may not be beneficial to Zhejiang and Fujian!"
"If Huaidong Water Camp was so easy to chew, it wouldn't be as troublesome as today." Qin Zitan really didn't hold back what he said last night. It was almost what he had thought about naval battles in recent years, and he claimed to be standing above everyone else.
, otherwise it would not be enough to impress the people of Donghu, but he had other ideas for doing so. He smiled and explained to his followers, "It is not easy to build an elite water camp. Donghu has no shipyard, no craftsmen, and no skilled sailors.
There are no naval generals, so when He Xiongqi came here, he wanted to use Goryeo’s naval power to harass the Tianjin-Hai grain route and weaken the Yanbei defense line..."
"The Jinhai grain road has the double protection of the Jinghai water camp and the Dengzhou water camp. How can it be so easy to be attacked?" The retinue studied military affairs with Qin Zitan and gained quite in-depth insights. "The Goryeo navy was scattered and weak and could not defeat Dengzhou.
The state navy cannot be compared with the Jinghai camp, and the Koreans may not be willing to be driven by the Donghu people."
"Even if they are determined to build a water camp after listening to what they said last night, they won't be able to compete in a short time," Qin Zitan said with a smile, "I look at Donghu's war in Yanbei. If they insist on besieging Datong with heavy troops, attracting
It would be better for Li Zhuo to send reinforcements to fight the reinforcements around Datong and consume the imperial troops on the northern front. They really have to expend a lot of effort to build the water camp. Whether it can be built is still questionable. What's more important is to weaken it.
Isn't its investment in the war in the direction of Datong a good thing for Zhejiang and Fujian? If the Donghu people do not build water camps themselves, but choose to urge the Koreans to build water camps, and if the Koreans get a powerful navy, the Donghu people will control Korea.
It will inevitably weaken, so why not do it?"
"Sir, this is a great idea!" The servant agreed.
"It is the common wish of both families to contain and suppress Huaidong at the moment. Let's see if there is an opportunity to send a ship back to Jin'an in the near future and ask the Marquis for instructions on this matter," Qin Zitan said, "If we can enter into a secret alliance with Donghu, Goryeo will
The attitude towards Huaidong can be led by Donghu; if I go to Kyushu Island and convince those Fuso feudal states, I can get twice the result with half the effort..."
"It may be dangerous to cross the sea at this time!" the retinue said worriedly.
"From the west end of Danluo to the east end, there is a land of 1670 miles, and further east, the roaring sea is hundreds of miles away. Can the Huaidong warships block it all?" Qin Zitan smiled slightly and said, "Right now
The key is to encourage Goryeo to use large-scale troops against Danluo Island! That will be enough to give Huaidong a headache!"
*******************
Under the prompting of the Donghu envoy Nahe Xiongqi and others, Goryeo's domestic attitude towards the war on Danluo Island soon changed.
Regardless of the heavy snow that blocked the road, the post riders wearing black armors rushed out from Hanyang Mansion one after another. With the order of Emperor Haidong, they mobilized soldiers and horses from counties and counties to gather in Haiyang to form the Pinghuai Army, which means "Pinghuai Army".
Destroy Huaidong".
Zuo Jing, the Prime Minister of the State, led the Pinghuai Army, and appointed Nahe Xiongqi, the envoy of Donghu, as the deputy commander of the army. Nahe Xiongqi went to Korea as an envoy, accompanied by two thousand fine cavalry, and rushed to Haiyang County first.
, urging Goryeo to use troops against Danluo.
In addition, Goryeo also established the Pinghuai Navy, drawing water troops from various prefectures and counties, and transferred the captain of the Shannan Navy Navy to serve as the commander of the Pinghuai Navy, and set up a battle formation to fight against the Huaidong Army Division on Danluo Island.
At the same time, the manuscript of the Night Talk secretly copied by Na He Xiongqi was also sent to Liaoyang by Kuaiqi.
****************
As early as more than a thousand years ago, General Yan of the Warring States Period established a county on the Liaohe River, built Xiangping City, and later renamed Yanzhou City. All forces competed for it, and there were countless wars. When the Yuan clan established the country, they started from Goryeo.
After the people captured Liaodong, the city was officially named Liaoyang. Donghu captured the old county of Liaodong and moved the capital here to strengthen his determination to run Liaodong and explore the Central Plains southward.
After the Donghu people established their capital in Liaoyang, they vigorously operated it and successively built new cities and palaces on the east bank of the Taizi River. Now Liaoyang has become Yanbei Xiongjun.
In the Imperial Garden of the Beigong, the sky was covered with cold snow, and the slender branches of the winter willows by the Prince's River were covered with frost and snow.
The walls of the Tingfeng Pavilion are unprotected, but there is a hidden stove under the ground to burn charcoal for heating. People in the pavilion do not feel the cold at all, as there is no headwind blowing against them.
King Yejier of the Eastern Hu Khan was wearing a leather jacket to keep out the cold, and was sitting in the Tingfeng Pavilion. He was holding in his hand the Shuiying manuscript of Night Talk secretly copied by Nahe Xiongqi from Hanyang. His face was thin.
He pressed his pale, skinny fingers on the manuscript, and said to his beloved concubine who was waiting behind him: "This Qin Zitan is really a talent. In one night's conversation, he talked about how to manage the boat commander's army and engage in battle, and he talked about it in detail.
Tongche. There are only three or five people in Liaodong who can compare with him. With this manuscript, Liaodong plans to establish a battalion of naval forces, and there are traces to be found..."
The Heshi was lightly wrapped in pure white fox fur. She was a little afraid of the cold and said, "He knew that Liaodong's thoughts were on Yanxi at this time, but he explained the benefits of the sea route so heart-to-heart, and also explained in detail the role of the water master.
Tao, I don’t think he has any good intentions!”
"During the Warring States Period, Qin and South Korea were fighting, and Han factions went to Qin to offer advice on how to build a canal, in order to consume Qin's national power and preserve Korea. Qin later found out about South Korea's plan, and captured the craftsman and wanted to interrogate and kill him.
. He made a detailed rebuttal to the King of Qin: 'I offer this strategy, which can protect South Korea from destruction for ten years, but it can protect Qin's foundation for eternity. It is a small contribution to South Korea, but a great contribution to Qin. What's the crime?'" Ye Jier laughed.
road.
"King Khan is determined to set up a navy in Jinzhou?" Naheshi asked.
"At present, the main task is to urge Goryeo to expand its navy, but Jinzhou also needs to set up a water camp immediately, so there is no need to draw too much energy from Yanxi," Ye Ji'er said. "If our king's division can break through Yanbei and move south, we may be able to fight with Huaidong."
, or there will eventually be a battle with Zhejiang and Fujian on the sea, we can't wait until then! In addition, you draft a letter for me to Na He Xiongqi, asking him to enter into a secret alliance with the She family in Hanyang. The conditions can be more relaxed.
It’s okay to draw the Huaihe River as the boundary, but in the final analysis, we have to rely on our strength to speak for itself.”
