Please ask me to be the emperor

"How about water fighting?" Zhang Shun thought for a while and felt that he couldn't make preconceptions about water fighting methods and had to consult professionals first.

Although Zhao Liangdong was not a good general, he had been promoted all the way and he knew a lot about it.

After hearing the words, he couldn't help but straighten his voice, and then he explained: "Sea warfare is not the same as land warfare. There is no other way to fight at sea. A big ship is better than a small ship, a big gun is better than a small gun, many ships are better than few ships, and many guns are better than few guns." That's all'."

"Therefore, in naval warfare, weapons come first, and ears second!"

"Huh?" After hearing what Zhao Liangdong said, Zhang Shun couldn't help but look at him in surprise and motioned for him to continue talking.

"Since the equipment is sophisticated, whenever there is a battle, you should send a cruise ship first to detect the enemy's location, and then work together to attack him." When Zhao Liangdong saw what Zhang Shun was interested in, he couldn't help but continue to show off.

"At the beginning of the battle, the two sides used cannons and cannons to damage their ships and kill their soldiers. Secondly, they used rockets, fire cannons, and oil tanks to burn their ships and hit their ships with sticks."

"When the two sides engage in battle, they will use smoke cans and lime to disrupt their formation, and then jump off the ship to fight hand-to-hand to determine the outcome."

"In addition, there are also 'fire ships', which carry gunpowder, sulfur and other materials to burn their warships; the ramming tactics of installing ramming horns on the bows to sink enemy ships, etc. And enough."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment after hearing the words, trying to understand it. Then he realized that the naval battle was different from the cannon bombardment he imagined, and he quickly asked for the details.

Zhang Shun asked for a long time, but Zhao Liangdong also spoke fluently.

Only after listening for a long time did Zhang Shun realize that Zhao Liangdong was just parroting what others said.

If one makes a careful distinction, the "naval force" that Zhao Liangdong refers to is actually just a coastal navy, and most of its preset combat areas are just around coastal islands.

Therefore, the tactics used include a large number of fire attacks, gang jumping, smashing, landing, etc.

Such tactics, adapted to such a combat environment, are roughly similar to the tactics of "controlling the land with the sea" in later generations.

However, such a navy is only adapted to coastal operations, is weak in offshore operations, and does not have the ability to operate in oceans. This is completely inconsistent with Zhang Shun's positioning of the navy as a new maritime force.

In Zhang Shun's mind, he at least built an offshore navy.

This naval force can not only go north to support the Dongjiang River, but can even further reopen Lushun, Jinzhou and other places, completely threatening the flanks of Houjin.

And it should have the ability to fight decisively with the Canming Navy so that in the next step of the unification war, the coastal areas, Taiwan, Hainan and other places can be completely pacified.

It can not only fight against the current maritime overlord Zheng Zhilong, but also deny the navies of powerful countries such as the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.

Even in the not-too-distant future, it can compete with maritime powers such as the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain for the high profits of the Age of Discovery.

However, there is always a difference between dreams and reality, and Zhang Shun’s difference is indeed a bit big.

However, as the saying goes: a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a nine-foot platform begins with a base of soil.

Although the current conditions are a bit poor, they cannot support Zhang Shun's ambitious ideas.

"In this way, I will send you a lieutenant, and he will be your apprentice!" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind.

"One is that I am planning to strengthen the Tianjin Navy."

"According to my opinion, the navy can strengthen these aspects."

"One is to replace the artillery, replace the original heavy-lift machine on the ship and replace it with new artillery to increase the firepower."

"One is to increase the Marine Corps to specifically strengthen the Navy's landing and land combat capabilities."

"The other one is to design a new type of artillery warship dedicated to maritime combat. What do you think?"

"King Shun alone makes the decision!" As a surrendered general, Zhao Liangdong didn't dare to say no, so he quickly agreed.

"The replacement of artillery must be completed as soon as possible and adapted as soon as possible." Zhang Shun saw that there was no resentment on Zhao Liangdong's face, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"For the Marine Corps, I will mobilize soldiers to form it as soon as possible. When the time comes, the Navy will need to coordinate with the training."

"It's best. The new warship has been designed. It still needs more opinions and trials from the navy. After the trial is completed, it will be finalized and then mass-built!"

Zhang Shun ordered Zhao Liangdong one by one in an orderly manner.

Originally, Zhao Liangdong was a little worried that King Shun would kill the donkey, but when the new lieutenant learned how to fight in water, he asked him to step aside.

After hearing some of Zhang Shun's ideas, he immediately realized that Zhang Shun had a grand plan.

He listened for a long time, hesitated, and couldn't help but say: "The construction of warships is based on hundreds of years of solid wood. There are no deep mountains and old forests near Tianjin, so Your Highness must make preparations in advance."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun laughed when he heard this: "There are no deep mountains and old forests in Tianjin, and there are no strong trees for shipbuilding, but there are countless in Liaodong."

"If we can regain Liaodong, we will have all the century-old trees we need, so what's the lack?"

When Zhao Liangdong heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Even the sources of shipbuilding wood have been considered. It seems that His Highness King Shun really wants to build a huge naval force!

He quickly promised: "Your Highness only gives orders, and I will do my best in all matters concerning the Navy!"

"Okay, if you do it well, you will be more than just the general soldier of Tianjin!" Seeing Zhao Liangdong's approach, Zhang Shun couldn't help but promise.

Seeing the guarantee, Zhao Liangdong became more and more excited and couldn't help but continue to explain: "This water battle is different from the land battle."

"The Tianjin Navy is stationed at Dagukou."

"This Dagu mouth is on the Haihe River, which is the south bank of the Dagu River's entrance to the sea."

"Therefore, this navy can not only traverse the four seas, but can also connect canals and reach the capital, which can be said to be an important place!"

"In the opinion of my subordinates, if given time, Dagukou and its Tianjin Guards will become our capital's important maritime fortress!"

The so-called Dagu River is actually the old name of Haihe River in later generations. Because it reaches directly to the sea, it was gradually called Haihe from the late Ming Dynasty.

The Haihe River consists of the main stream and five major branches: the North Canal, Yongding River, Daqing River, Ziya River and South Canal.

Among them, the South Canal is the section of the Grand Canal that runs from south to north, while the North Canal is the section from Haihe to Miyun via the capital.

As Zhao Liangdong said, if a navy really controls the mouth of Dagu, it will not only cut off the Grand Canal to the east, but also threaten the capital.

However, limited by the times, Zhao Liangdong still used a mixture of river and sea troops, thinking that sea ships could reach the capital against the current.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun suddenly thought that in history, the Eight-Power Allied Forces landed here, and then captured Tianjin and Beijing, forcing the Qing government at that time to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty" that was humiliating and humiliating the country, and compensated 980 million taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun became more determined to build a powerful navy capable of crossing the world.
