Chapter 2298: The heart goes to the bank of Yuguan
Pei Zilie can do this kind of work, Li Xingchen can do it, but Xiao Shilian really feels that he is a little unable to do it.
Xiao Shilian and Wang Chang each left with their own concerns. One was thinking about how to pretend to be very realistic and resist Goguryeo's various provocations. The other was thinking about how to make the navy famous in one battle.
The world knows.
Yang Su was left behind. He turned slightly sideways and watched Xiao Shilian leave with his peripheral vision. Then he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty's move may embarrass the General Hussar."
Li Xingchen couldn't help but smile.
Asking Zhang Fei to do embroidery would be a embarrassment to others.
"The more this is true, the more the Khitans and Goguryeo people will believe it." Li Xingchen explained.
On the contrary, the Goguryeo people must still know about the two big bosses of the Han army. When they learned that Li Xingchen sent Xiao Shilian, who led the army to pursue the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Northern Expedition, they would definitely feel that the Han army
Dissatisfaction with Goguryeo's provocation in Liaodong and determination to resolve Liaodong issues.
Otherwise, why send a ruthless character like Xiao Shilian who is decisive and decisive?
Moreover, which of the left and right deputies transferred to Xiao Shilian by Li Xingchen, Chen Zhishen or Wu Huijue, is easy to provoke? They were all generals of the Han Dynasty before.
"Perhaps their attention will be attracted to Youzhou, and they have even ignored that the Han Dynasty relied on the navy and navy to conquer the world in the first place." Yang Su couldn't help but laugh.
The navy's main activity range is in Southeast Asia. With the end of the Northern Expedition, the Han Dynasty's inland river navy has been disbanded. Only some Mengchong warships and the like are retained for inland river inspection and patrol. Of course, there are also some Wuda Da.
The ship was retained as a fixed fort on the dock and as a training ship.
As for the rest of the inland river warships, they have begun to be transformed, most of them into merchant ships to make up for the current shortage of inland river transport ships in the Han Dynasty. After all, the shipyards are increasing their horsepower to produce more profitable sea-going ships, and inland river transportation often still relies on
This is an old ship that is many years old. It is slow and of poor quality. Accidents have happened more than once.
Inland rivers are narrow, and if a boat capsizes, the entire river will be blocked.
It's hard for people to have trouble, but blocking "boats" on the river is still very depressing.
Therefore, these warships can still use their remaining heat in inland water transportation.
Of course, Li Xingchen did not forget the experience of later generations, and specially selected several warships that had been at the forefront and made great achievements in battles, and placed them at various state wharves along the river and canal as the "patriotic education base" of the Han Dynasty. Academy
Students among them are often organized to visit and learn about the history of the rise of the Han Dynasty. They look at the traces of repairs on the warships and imagine that their ancestors once fought bloody battles here.
Since then, the once powerful inland river navy of the Han Dynasty has disappeared, replaced by the inland river inspection fleet, which is affiliated to various state capitals and is no longer part of the army. The older members of the original inland river navy were directly retired and incorporated into the army.
After inspecting the fleet, the young ones were reorganized into the navy or marines on the spot. Qi Xin, the commander of the inland water division, also changed his identity and became the commander of another marine force.
As the Han Dynasty expanded to the south and trade routes expanded, a large number of islands and land were discovered. Naturally, the demand for marines became higher and higher. This made Wang Chang and others couldn't help but lament His Majesty's foresight back then.
.
The Marine Corps that was reorganized after the disbandment of the Inland Marine Division just made up for the lack of this part of the manpower. Especially now that the original Marine Corps is still in Youzhou and Qingzhou, it is just right to send these new recruits to Nanyang for some experience.
What Li Xingchen didn't know is that this has also formed a tradition of the Marine Corps. If you have never been to Nanyang, you will be embarrassed to tell others that you are an elite member of the Marine Corps.
The inland water division is gone, and the navy's traditional scope of activity is Nanyang. Therefore, the maritime power of the Han Dynasty is indeed easy to be ignored. Especially in the previous Northern Expedition, when Yecheng was truly conquered, it was the land division that determined the overall situation. Even if
The Marine Corps had the credit for conquering Youzhou, and it needed to be shared equally with the Fenwu Army. In addition, the Marine Corps, as the secret weapon of the Han Dynasty, was originally concealed by the court. The specific performance of the Marine Corps in this battle
Many people don't know its function.
Coupled with the bluff of the Army Division, it was difficult for Goguryeo to expect that the main force of the Han attack on Liaodong was actually the Marine Corps with no head or tail of the dragon.
This made Yang Sudu feel that he had reason to suspect that His Majesty had allowed the Marine Corps to participate in the Northern Expedition from the very beginning, but he did not engage in much war. He was only responsible for cutting off the enemy's retreat. This should be to launch the Marine Corps into the distance from Liaodong.
A closer place while not attracting the attention of Liaodong enemies.
If so, His Majesty may have already started making arrangements for Goguryeo a long time ago.
I just don’t know when His Majesty made arrangements for Tuyuhun.
His Majesty's thoughts seem to be becoming more and more elusive.
Yang Su couldn't help sighing. But then he thought about it. When he arranged the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Su was also personally involved. The Northern Zhou Dynasty was still at its peak at that time. Who would have thought that everything would be done by Li Xingchen, who was just a young general in Jingzhou at the time?
The arrangement was clear? Although the final development of the situation was somewhat unexpected, but even when it was destroyed, the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not stir up any trouble again.
Thinking about myself at that time, when I went south to meet Li Xingchen in person, all I was thinking was that the Hongnong Yang family could not be used by Yang Jian as a means to unite the Guanlong Group, especially when it was taken away from the people who were still very young at the time.
The powerful Yuwen family resisted. Yang Su, the head of the family at the time, was very worried that the Hongnong Yang family would be buried with Yang Jian, so he wanted to attract external forces to break the situation.
At that time, even if I single-handedly contributed to the break between Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian, I couldn't imagine that one day Li Xingchen would replace Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian and become the master of the world, right?
What's more, at that time, there was Chen Xu.
And now Yang Su felt that he had enough reasons to believe that Li Xingchen had already thought that he would be able to sit in this position at that time.
My vision and thoughts don't seem to be on the same level.
Yang Su was a little discouraged for a while.
This is the gap. Otherwise, while others are on the throne, I stand below.
"Ai Qing, do you have anything else to report?" Li Xingchen said slowly.
Yang Su was in a trance, and Li Xingchen could tell. What could make Yang Su like this?
Yang Su trembled, then smiled and said: "My heart has already passed Yuguan, please forgive me."
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment, clearly not believing it.
However, he had no intention of prying into Yang Su's thoughts. He nodded and said, "If the war situation becomes tense by then, I'm afraid Aiqing will have to 'walk to the side of Yuguan'."
