The Manchus were not good at boating. In fact, the Qing Dynasty's main force in coastal defense and river defense was Green Camp.
The Dagukou Camp is the real naval force of Tianjin. It is affiliated to the Daguxie Town Camp of Tianjin Town. It has 1,800 soldiers and more than 40 large and small warships.
At that time, the British man Hong Renhui was discovered by Dagukou Camp and notified of his arrival in Beijing.
However, compared with the Ming Dynasty's powerful navy along the coast, its performance in the battle to resist the Japanese and aid Korea, and the many battle victories achieved by the Dutch, the maritime overlord at that time, the Qing Dynasty's naval construction was obviously in a mess.
In the previous period, the Military Aircraft Department approved Taiwan's emergency transfer of Navy Admiral Huang Shijian, Land Admiral Ren Cheng'en and others to lead 4,000 troops across the sea to Taiwan for reinforcements. According to what Jia Liu learned, the Fujian Navy commanded by Huang Shijian was unable to send 4,000 troops at once.
When shipped over, it can only be divided into three batches.
In other words, the Tiandihui rebels in Taiwan do not have naval strength, otherwise the Qing army in Fujian would probably look at the sea and sigh.
However, the Qing Dynasty had a brief period of naval glory.
That is the Shi Lang Platform.
In order to conquer Taiwan, the Qing government devoted all its efforts to build a huge Fujian Navy.
However, after this war, the Qing government did not use the Ming and Zheng forces it had received to dominate East Asia and develop maritime trade. Instead, it adopted a contractionary policy, which was the "defense over all else" policy during the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties. As a result, the Qing government's navy was gradually marginalized.
Eventually, the current defensive pattern of coastal defense was formed.
However, objectively speaking, the reason why Shi Lang Platform was able to win was that the typhoon suddenly turned, not because the Qing navy had an absolute advantage over the Ming navy.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that God is the direct culprit of the rise of Manchuria.
Whether it was the attack on Shenyang when Nurhaci started his army, or the Battle of Sarhu, or the later bloody battle of Hunhe River, the Battle of Xiaolinghe, the Battle of Jinzhou, and the Battle of Shanhaiguan
In almost every decisive battle that decided the fate of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, God was helping the Qing army.
To what extent does it help?
When Liu Xiu came, he had to scold God for being unethical.
During the Jinzhou rescue battle during the Chongzhen period, the Ming court handed over the last main field force of more than 40,000 frontier troops to the supervisory army, Bingdao Zhang Chun, and the commander-in-chief Wu Xiang, Song Wei and other commanders to rescue Jinzhou.
When the Ming army arrived at Daling River, it was heavily blocked by the Qing army. Zhang Chun first used chariot warfare to defeat the Qing army, and then the Qing army attacked the Ming army with cavalry. Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, suddenly became desperate and carried forward the tradition of the Liao army, abandoning his allies and fleeing first.
However, when the Ming army collapsed, Zhang Chun ordered people to set fire to it. As a result, thousands of Qing soldiers were killed in the fire, so much so that even Dorgon, the "Mergen Dai Qing", fled the battlefield in embarrassment.
The Qing army was defeated on all fronts, and the Ming army, which had turned defeat into victory, was about to win a great victory. Suddenly, heavy rain began to fall in the sky, and then the wind direction suddenly reversed, and the fire suddenly burned back towards the Ming army.
This is especially true in Shanhaiguan.
The sudden change in the wind direction is not surprising. What is even more surprising is that heavy fog fell from the sky during the Battle of Jinzhou. No one in the Ming and Qing Dynasties could see each other, but a ray of blue sunlight shined directly on the tent of the Ming army commander. This is called "blue light seeing".
"Fog", as a result, under the guidance of Qingguang, the Qing army stormed into the Ming army's tent
During the Battle of Penghu under the command of Shi Lang, no one expected that a typhoon could turn around!
Anyway, it's absolutely perfect.
Maybe the purple energy coming from the east is really destiny.
Before Jia Liu came, he didn't believe in God but only believed in science. After he came, he believed in both.
Therefore, he takes destiny more seriously.
At present, there are mainly four aspects that can prove his destiny.
One is that when he was born, crows filled the Jia family courtyard;
Second, a black turtle was dug up from the old lady’s grave;
Third, Chi You's horse Xiong Dalin took the initiative to recognize his master, not only helped him escape from danger many times, but also killed Hai Lancha, the most powerful general in the Qing Dynasty, thus laying the foundation for Jia Liu's rise.
Four is of course today’s Crane Dance for Nine Heavens.
These are all facts. There is no need for Jia Liu to hide them, so he repeatedly asked Shuan Zhu if there was anything said in various classics about the Crane Dance in the Nine Heavens.
Specifically, Shuan Zhu couldn't say for the moment that he was Chou Yin Mao because he had not checked the relevant historical materials, but Xiangrui was certain.
"So, do I have some kind of system mission? Every time I kill Manchuria, a strange phenomenon comes from the sky?"
Jia Liufu muttered, if this was really the case, then he would not be merciful.
It is said that after killing millions of old soldiers, the sword on the waist is still bloody.
He really didn't care about the Eight Banners Navy in Tianjin.
Let alone two thousand people, even if there were two thousand more people, Jingli would have to pinch their noses to recognize them.
There were ominous events all over the city, and it took Lao Manna, the man who raised the Three Flags, to drive him out of the city in a carriage for several days.
From time to time, they would stop and ask Baozhu if they felt any difference in the president.
Just whether there is a dragon head stick or a small green dragon or something looming.
Why do you ask?
Because Jia Liu found that the yang energy in his body has been much stronger recently than before. Even in Sichuan, he would always have diarrhea and diarrhea, but now he eats delicious food, not to mention diarrhea, and even a common cold is not a problem.
.
Excluding the factor of acclimatization, Jia Liu suspected that the ghosts of those he had killed were beating him up behind his back.
"Probably, maybe, there is."
Baozhu was not sure how to answer the President's question, so he could only answer vaguely.
"That's it."
Jia Liu nodded with satisfaction. If Baozhu's answer was not watery, then he would speed up the pace of usurping the throne.
This trip to Dagukou was to merge the Tianjin Navy and establish the Beiyang Navy directly under his governor.
It is planned to transfer all the more than 30 warships of Tianjin Eight Banners Navy to Dagukou Camp, build another batch, and strive to make the Beiyang Navy reach a hundred warships next year, and also imitate a batch of three-masted warships from Western countries.
For a two-masted ship, we don’t care about the quality. The quantity must be piled up.
But he is also a layman in the navy, so he still needs to find a group of outstanding naval generals.
This time I came to Dagukou to see if the generals of the Dagu Water Camp were in line with his wishes.
Before arriving, there must have been a messenger to notify the Dagu Water Camp first. Therefore, after Jia Liu arrived, a group of officers led by Dagu Water Camp guerrilla Ding Gui had already been cleaned up, and Governor Gonghou came to give guidance.
Afterwards, Ding Gui and others were informed that the Eight Banners Navy had been suppressed by the Governor for treason and rebellion, and that from now on all ships and equipment of the Eight Banners Navy would be transferred to the Dagu Water Camp.
This news naturally shocked everyone in Dagu Water Camp. When they looked at the young governor again, there was an invisible hint of awe in his eyes.
It is true that he is a layman, but Jia Liu came here with his eyes. After entering the camp, he ordered all the formalities to be stopped, and Ding Gui was responsible for immediately summoning the officers and soldiers of the water camp to go to sea for training.
This caught Ding Gui, who was accustomed to arranging meals first and reporting later, a bit off guard. Fortunately, they were more professional than the Eight Banners Navy after all, so they were still in a hurry and ordered the water camp to go to sea for training an hour later.
Jia Liu was sitting on a sailing boat named "Dinghai". This boat existed in the Ming Dynasty and was a standard warship for the coastal navy. Its characteristic is that the hull is made of iron wood and is very strong.
The disadvantages are slow speed and inconvenient steering.
There are only four cannons on a ship, and the firepower configuration is relatively poor.
As a layman, Jia Liu certainly would not interfere with Ding Gui's command, and ordered him to let go and conduct bold drills, while he pretended to look left and right with a telescope on the deck.
He also whispered a few words to the people around him from time to time. He seemed to be a very professional person who was not easy to fool.
Ding Gui and his subordinates saw this and did not dare to neglect it. Those who waved flags waved flags and issued trumpets. After a while, there was a loud sound of cannons.
Immediately afterwards, Jia Liu saw in the telescope that the target ship's cannon made a "boom" explosion, and then the hull ignited a raging fire, and soon it slowly sank into the sea amidst the cheers of the officers and soldiers.
"good!"
Jia Liu did not expect that the combat readiness level of the Dagu Water Camp was so high and the training level was so good. He was overjoyed and immediately ordered that the officers and soldiers of the Water Camp be rewarded with one tael of silver and three kilograms of pork.
"Ding Gui has two brushes, mine. I will leave my Beiyang navy to him."
Jia Liu has always been generous with rewards for capable people.
After landing, I am going to send an official document to the Ministry of War to upgrade the Dagukou Camp to the Green Camp Town organization, that is, Ding Gui will serve as the first chief military officer of the Beiyang Navy. If the other party can fully comply with Jia Liu's wishes, it is not impossible to give him the admiral.
However, Shuan Zhu glanced at the lustful Bengui in the distance with suspicion, and quietly reminded the young master that there was a problem.
"What's the problem? You don't understand the Navy, so don't talk nonsense."
Jia Liu looked good and was very satisfied with it, so he was not happy that Shuan Zhu was trying to do his best.
Even if there is a real problem, can he not see it?
