Due to the defeat of Beixinzhou, the commander of the water battalion in Guazhou and the red flag of Manchuria have been downgraded by three levels by the emperor's decree. It was only because none of the generals in Manzhou knew more about water warfare than Duobi, so they were ordered. Listen before the army, and make meritorious deeds.

After the North New State was captured by the Taiping Army, the water camp in Guazhou did not have a happy birthday. The navy of the Taiping Army would come to attack the Guazhou water camp every three times. endlessly.

It's not that Duobi never thought to lead the navy out of the camp to fight against the Taiping Army, but he couldn't get past the North Xinzhou Fort. Fortunately, the Taiping army's navy could only block the Guazhou water camp, and they could not attack it. Overall, the Taiping army took advantage, but as long as the Guazhou water camp was there, they could not completely control the Yangtze River. This is like a nail. As long as the nail is not pulled out, the Taiping army cannot put their feet on the north of the river an inch.

When Dobi went to the camp the day before yesterday, he heard that the ministers suggested to the emperor to cross the river from the upper reaches of Caishiji or Anqing, so as to avoid the superior naval forces of the Taiping army downstream. The emperor is considering this strategy, whether to accept this opinion is still inconclusive. After all, no matter whether it is upstream or downstream, the naval forces of the Qing army are weak. The only way to cross the river is to find a place where the Taiping army is extremely weak in defense. Obviously, the ministers of the interior think that the main force of the Taiping army is in the downstream, so they have to follow Said to march upstream.

This strategy is said to be "avoid the real and make the empty", but if you really want to follow this strategy, it will be a hassle to mobilize the army, not to mention how to avoid the meticulous eyes of the Taiping army in Jiangbei, how to raise enough ships upstream Crossing the river is a big problem. The emperor decreed that he asked Kuenbu, the Admiral of Jiangnan in Anqing, what he meant. Kuenbu echoed that the Anqing water camp suffered heavy losses in the last Anqing defense battle and could not bear the responsibility of the army crossing the river. He suggested that the emperor had better choose an opportunity to cross the river downstream, and he must not move lightly.

In addition to the saying that "avoid the truth and make the false", the new governor of water transport, Cai Shiying, offered the emperor a strategy of "hiding the sky and crossing the sea". This strategy originated from the battle of the Sui army to destroy Chen, and it was the method used by He Ruobi, a general of the Sui Dynasty.

After He Ruobi led the army of the Sui Dynasty to be stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, in order to paralyze the Chen army stationed at Jingkou on the south bank of the Yangtze River, he sold his old horses and bought a large number of ships of the Chen Dynasty. Fifty or sixty small broken boats were purchased and parked on the river bank. After Chen Jun spied about it, he thought that the Sui army had no ships to cross the river. Secondly, when He Ruobi ordered the soldiers stationed along the river to change their shifts, they must gather on the shore, hold large banners, and camp everywhere. Once or twice at the beginning, Chen Jun on the other side of the river met, thinking that the Sui army was going to cross the river in a big way, and quickly mobilized the army to strengthen the guard. But after a few times, I found out that this was just the change of soldiers, so I became accustomed to it and neglected to take precautions. In addition, He Ruobi often led his soldiers to hunt along the river, and people cheered and called horses, which was very lively. Gradually, no matter what happened on the other side of the river, Chen Jun didn't care. As a result, when He Ruobi really led his army across the river, Chen Jun didn't react at all, and the natural danger of the Yangtze River fell.

Cai Shiying's strategy of "passing the sky and crossing the sea" has won the support of many people, but Duobi is dismissive of this whimsical method. Why? First of all, the Qing army had no way to buy ships from across the river. Second, it was the Taiping army, not the Qing army, who came to harass and confuse them every day. Cai Shiying and others are in the rear, talking on paper, thinking that they can succeed by copying the successful examples of their predecessors, but they don't know the real situation on the front line. Duobi only agreed with this **** "hiding the sky and crossing the sea" until his brain was pumping. What he is worried about now is when the Taiping army's navy will really attack in a big way, and whether his subordinates who are harassed by the Taiping army every day can respond in time. come over.

To be honest, Duobi was reluctant to be the commander of the water camp. The emperor and the generals in Manchuria said that Duobi knew about water warfare. The reason was that when he followed Emperor Taizong to attack Korea, he used his partial division at sea and the Dongjiang. Ming army fought. But Duobi lost the water battle, but Emperor Taizong didn't blame him afterwards, but said that after this battle, I, Manzhou Erlang, will eventually have someone who understands water warfare. After the fight, Duobi was known among the generals in Manchuria for his knowledge of water warfare. After more than 20 years, everyone knew that Duobi was really good at water. When he formed the Guazhou Water Camp, the emperor was also the first to think of him. Duobi didn't know that Duobi actually didn't understand water warfare. His only water battle was lost, and the loss was ugly, only to be wiped out.

If you lose money, you will learn a lesson and you will succeed next time. Duobi laughed at himself, since he lost that time, he hasn't fought a water battle for more than 20 years, and how can he succeed. The emperor made him the commander of the water camp, which really drove the ducks onto the shelves and tortured him.

People from the north are good at horses and people from the south are good at boats.

Duobi is self-aware and knows that he does not understand water warfare, so he trusts several Han Chinese navy generals under Chong's command. Half a month ago, he even petitioned the emperor to send Shi Lang, who had defected from the men of Zheng Sen, the Jinsha thief. call.

Shi Lang was a well-known general of the Jinsha and Zheng army, but he was never reused after he surrendered to the Qing court, and his life was very poor. When Duobi played him, this person relied on his wife as a red seamstress in the capital to make ends meet, otherwise he would not be able to sustain three meals a day.

Shunzhi acceded to Duobi's petition, and the capital of Kuai Ma ordered Shi Lang to immediately go south to the water camp in Guazhou to listen to him and confer the post of commander-in-chief in Yangzhou. However, Shi Lang couldn't make it for a while, so Duobi could still rely on those generals from Jiangnan in Shuiying. Among them, the commander-in-chief of Yizhen, Jiang Daqing, was a leader in water warfare. This person was originally a water bandit in the Gaoyou area. After the Qing army went south, he took the initiative to join him. He served as the Qiangong, Dusi, and Lieutenant General. When the Guazhou Water Camp was established, he was promoted to the chief officer.

Jiang Daqing did not live up to Duobi's trust and high expectations. Although he was unable to change the disadvantage of the Guazhou Water Camp after the North Xinzhou Fort was captured, the water camp under his auspices was very defensive. efficient. The last time he went out to the camp and the Taiping Army navy in the battle to the east of North New State, he also gained a lot.

Because the navy of the Taiping Army had attacked the camp yesterday evening, just after breakfast, Jiang Daqing invited a number of generals and a few boats to patrol the camp. If he did not find the navy of the Taiping Army, Jiang Daqing would Prepare to organize personnel to deploy the river-blocking iron chain, which is commonly known as the "Rolling River Dragon". Originally, the Qing army had clothed "Rolling River Dragon" on the river in front of the North Xinzhou Fortress, but it was destroyed by the Taiping Army. This time Jiang Daqing planned to re-post a few more. Although the effect was limited, it could at least delay the Taiping army and give the water camp enough early warning time.

Jiang Daqing led people out of the camp very carefully. Several boats were divided into two teams, three in the east and two in the west, keeping vigilance. When I first left the port, I didn't see anything wrong on the river. Jiang Daqing was a little relieved. The bandits had been harassing him for many days, so they must have been tired. Today, there is no fog to cover them, so they have no reason to come again. I don't want to, but just as the Clippers were about to go back to report the news and let the water camp start to spread the "Rolling River Dragon", there were drums beating on the river to the west.

The sound of the drums of "dong dong dong" resounded on both sides of the river.

Jiang Daqing and his subordinates could clearly see that on the upper reaches of the river, hundreds of warships were approaching in a mighty manner. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
