- "Uncle, the warships of the Song Empire are really sharp. I really can't imagine what it would be like to fight against such a warship at sea." Li Xiang's nephew Yang Biao served as the captain on Li Xiang's flagship. An ordinary sailor was able to follow him.
Although the empire has accepted people like Li Xiang, it will not give them a high status rashly. If they want to obtain a high status, they have to work hard or through military exploits.
The reason why Zhao Hongyu made such an arrangement was because he did not want genetic people of Chinese descent to have psychological fluctuations.
You should know that although most genetic people are cultivated in batches, some grassroots officers have independent and intelligent thinking.
If they were made to resent their decisions, wouldn¡¯t that be detrimental to their own rule?
That¡¯s why Zhao Hongyu made such a decision.
Fortunately, Li Xiang understood Zhao Hongyu's decision very well. At the same time, the young people who wanted to join the Imperial Navy also had very good reasons to gain recognition based on their abilities.
So, there was no trouble on this issue.
Therefore, like Yang Biao, the pirates who were originally Li Xiang's soldiers as ordinary navy soldiers were scattered on various ships and started from the bottom.
Li Xiang chose a copycat Dutch-style commercial and combat warship as his flagship.
And because he was the naval admiral here in Kyushu, he used his authority a little and brought his nephew Yang Biao with him.
But that¡¯s all.
Most of the people on the flagship were soldiers of Chinese descent from the Song Empire, and even all the officers were of Chinese descent.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xiang to take too much care of his nephew, lest he be underestimated by others and cause unnecessary trouble to his nephew.
Li Xiang knows her nephew very well. He is a good hand at sea. After all, he has been with her at sea since he was a child.
Therefore, Li Xiang firmly believes that even without his own help, his nephew Yang Biao can still get ahead.
At the same time, there is an advantage to him starting from the bottom, that is, he can become familiar with the structure of the Song Empire's warships and what makes it so powerful.
¡°And when he was at the bottom, he could still interact with the soldiers. As his status gradually increased in the future, no one would reject him anymore, and he would be able to make some good friends.
At this time, on the sea not far from Nagasaki, Li Xiang kept giving orders on the deck of his flagship. More than 200 warships were cruising nearby. It turned out that this was a naval battle exercise that Li Xiang was conducting.
Today, in Kyushu, in addition to the forty-nine imperial warships left by Zhao Hongyu, there are also many Ming-style tower ships, fighting boats and small sampans brought by Li Xiang.
It can be said that the ships of the Kyushu Navy are different, so if you want to have a certain combat effectiveness, you need to get along with each other and understand each other.
Soldiers and captains who operate Ming-style tower ships and fighting ships must know the speed and power of imperial warships, and then have a good idea of ??them.
Similarly, soldiers and captains on imperial battleships also need to know the power and speed of Ming-style ships, as well as other parameters.
In this way, when a naval battle occurs, everyone will make some plans and arrangements based on these data.
As the commander, Li Xiang needs to understand this even more.
Otherwise, when a war breaks out, the arrangements you make will be flawed due to some lack of understanding. That would be very inappropriate.
As an experienced pirate, Li Xiang would never make a mistake on this point.
The winds on the Sea of ??Japan in winter are very strong, and those sea breezes can even hurt your face.
Li Xiang was wearing a red imperial uniform, and her silver-white hair was fluttering in the wind.
"You are right. The empire's warships are indeed powerful. It can be said that I, Li Xiang, have never seen such a powerful warship in my life. Its power has exceeded my imagination."
After hearing what his nephew said, Li Xiang asked the flag bearer on the pole to play a flag, and then said to his nephew.
The day after Zhao Hongyu left, Li Xiang asked the navy to go to sea for exercises.
Because Amami Island defeated Wang Renzeng, Li Xiang believed that Nagasaki would probably be attacked by Zheng Zhilong in the near future.
Therefore, if you can know the power of the warships as soon as possible and adjust the cooperation between the warships, you will have more confidence in dealing with Zheng Zhilong's attacks in the future.?
After all, battles at sea are the same as on land, that is, they must rely on collective strength to fight. Personal heroism is unrealistic and impossible.
You want to defeat an enemy with hundreds of ships with just one warship. This kind of thing is unlikely to happen even in the storybook.
Therefore, if the navy can get along as soon as possible, it will be much easier to deal with Zheng Zhilong in the future.
After all, the Song Empire¡¯s warships were very powerful.
The artillery on each ship was an eye-opener for Li Xiang and the others.
If it was just a ship, Li Xiang and the others wouldn't say anything.
"But the destructive power that forty-nine warships can produce in a naval battle is extraordinary.
And it seems that the Ming-style tower ships and fighting ships that I originally brought will become auxiliary battle ships in the future. Although this made him reluctant to let go, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Uncle, there are such warships in Kyushu. Even if Zheng Zhilong comes, it is impossible to get anything good. In fact, you don't have to be so nervous about this matter. With the current strength we have, although we dare not peek at the southeastern coast, But there is no problem in self-protection.¡±
As Li Xiang¡¯s nephew, Yang Biao is still a little younger after all.
As a young man, he will not be cautious and cautious about some things like an old man like Li Xiang.
As much as possible, Li Xiang will do it safely.
But Yang Biao felt it was not necessary.
Li Xiang shook his head when he heard this: "You can't say that, I have to plan carefully. At the same time, let the navy get together in a short time to cope with Zheng Zhilong's revenge." He turned around and looked at the man dressed as an ordinary soldier. The nephew said to him with a serious face. "Although the warships we have are powerful, if we underestimate Zheng Zhilong, there will be some unexpected surprises."
Li Xiang has been suppressed and beaten by Zheng Zhilong, so he attaches great importance to his old rival.
This level of attention has exceeded many people¡¯s imagination.
However, as Li Xiang¡¯s nephew, Yang Biao understands this.
"Zheng Zhilong has a large fleet, and there are many warships he can handle." Li Xiang looked at his nephew seriously and seriously. "Even the warships of the Franji people, there are more than a dozen in his Zheng family's fleet. Not to mention the four to five hundred large ships and thousands of fighting ships in his Zheng family's fleet. "
From Li Xiang¡¯s words, it can be heard that Zheng Zhilong¡¯s strength is quite powerful.
Even, it is much more powerful than 'him' in normal history.
It seems that because of Zhao Hongyu, Zheng Zhilong has also been affected.
And this influence, at least for now, is still good for him.
After all, compared to the original normal history, his strength has become more than twice as strong, right?
"It's a pity that Zheng Zhilong doesn't know this clearly.
"Yes, the fleet of the old Zheng family controls so many warships that it is the only one in the southeast. Even their warships are larger than the coastal navy ships of the Ming Dynasty. That¡¯s a lot.¡±
After hearing his uncle mention Zheng Zhilong¡¯s strength, Yang Biao sighed and agreed.
"Is that all? Don't forget the vassals and the pirates under his command. These people can control a lot of ships. Therefore, the ships that Zheng Zhilong can gather for a naval battle at once are just There are more than a thousand large ships, not counting the Fujian navy that he can mobilize."
As for Zheng Zhilong¡¯s capital, his old rival Li Xiangna is very clear about it.
Yang Biao took a breath of air at this time.
¡°Oh, that¡¯s not true.
¡°Zheng Zhilong¡¯s strength is really terrifying if you think about it this way.
"Hiss!", Yang Biao took a breath of air, and then asked: "Zheng Zhilong is so powerful, can we handle it?"
After being told this by his uncle, Yang Biao's confidence was not as strong as before.
He is a young man after all.
Li Xiang looked at her nephew's reaction and sighed secretly in her heart.
In fact, Li Xiang told Yang Biao about Zheng Zhilong's true strength, and also analyzed Zheng Zhilong's internal strength division for him, intending to train his nephew well.
After all, a nephew is also a relative.
It¡¯s a pity that Yang Biao was killed by himselfHe was shocked by Zheng Zhilong's strength, which made Li Xiang a little disappointed.
For Li Xiang, a grown man would rather be beaten to death, but he cannot be scared to death.
Zheng Zhilong is indeed strong, but they are not weak either.
At least, after joining the Song Empire, their power was different from before.
¡°Moreover, even if Zheng Zhilong wants to cause trouble, he can¡¯t be so aboveboard.
After all, my identity is different now, and one bad word can cause a national war.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong will be more timid, even if he really wants to cause trouble or avenge Wang Renzeng. But it's not impossible to deal with it on my own side.
"Biaozi! Remember, there is nothing wrong with Zheng Zhilong's strength. But you can't belittle yourself and think that we are not his opponents. In fact, he is also very afraid of us, and it is difficult to attack us."
When Yang Biao heard what his uncle said, a curious look suddenly appeared on his face.
¡°To be honest, if I only have a weak head, I am really not as good as my uncle.
Because he can think of many things that he can't think of, just like now.
"I would like to hear the details!" Yang Biao said. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
