  Chapter 291 Qi Jiajun, Fuzi
  "The final result is that the red side is defeated!" After some offense and defense, Su Ze made the final judgment.

  The red side, representing the new navy force in Fuzhou, was defeated. The blue side, representing the Japanese pirates, landed near Fuzhou and fled after plundering.

  Lin Liangjun commanded the red side to fight. In the end, even the Japanese pirate fleet was not discovered, and they were judged to be defeated without even fighting a battle.

  He clenched his fists in frustration, and the students on the red side lowered their heads, which was in sharp contrast to the beaming faces of the students on the blue side.

  "Everyone, return to your seats."

  Everyone returned to their seats. Su Ze patted the blackboard again and said,
  "'In maritime operations, the first priority is to find the enemy.' Do you understand the meaning of this sentence now?" "

  Lan Fang The battle plan is very good. It avoids ports and patrol fleets, chooses to land on the seaside, and maintains a mobile retreat after the robbery. This is the tactics used by the Japanese pirates to plunder our Fujian. You summarized it very well." "The red side was defeated

  . , It's not just that you are unlucky, but that you made several mistakes during the battle."

  Su Ze drew a flying geese formation on the blackboard and said to the students:

  "When fighting on land, there are many formations, but why We basically use a wild goose formation or a one-line formation at sea? This is to facilitate tracking the enemy." "

  While maintaining the maximum contact distance of each ship, extending the formation as much as possible can maximize the number of encounters. The probability of the enemy."

  Su Ze pointed to the sand table and said: "The first mistake the red team made was to use the sailboats together when searching for the enemy, which made it more difficult for the fleet to find the enemy." The students quickly

  memorized Taking notes, the fundamental logic of maritime operations was completely different from that on land. What Su Ze said was something they had never thought about.

  Su Ze continued: "This is one, and the second is that the red team did not make any predictions about the blue team's landing point."

  Su Ze said: "The wind direction is a decisive factor in combat at sea. When making combat plans, the commander of the red side did not consider this factor at all."

  Lin Liangjun lowered his head, as if this was indeed the case.

  Su Ze said: "I have to praise the blue team for this. They chose the landing site and evacuation site very well."

  Su Ze said with appreciation:
  "In landing operations, the most important thing is not the landing site, but the evacuation site. "

  "The landing site chosen by the blue team was not very good and there was a risk of being discovered. However, due to the negligence of the red team, the area was not searched, allowing the blue team to complete the landing calmly." "At the evacuation location

  , The blue team chose a position downwind and completed the evacuation as quickly as possible, allowing the red team's blockade to escape."

  Su Ze said to Lin Liangjun: "At the login point and the evacuation point, these two key nodes , you did not make any predictions at all, which is the biggest reason for the defeat."

  Lin Liangjun thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. He was too focused on searching for enemies at sea and did not think about where the enemies would land.

  Su Ze said: "There are many coastal areas in Fuzhou, but there are not many places suitable for landing. You completely ignored the enemy's combat intentions and blindly searched the sea. This is one of the reasons for your defeat." "Using ships too intensively

  , As a result, the search range of the entire fleet was too small and no trace of the enemy was found. This is the second reason for defeat." "

  Everyone on the red side, wash the blue side's clothes for five days, and write a combat summary report after five days. !"

  "Yes, Chief!"

  Lin Liangjun stood up with a group of red students and agreed with shame.

  Su Ze nodded with satisfaction. The modern navy is not only the modernization of navigation technology, but more importantly the modernization of war doctrine and combat theory.

  This is developing even more rapidly in maritime operations. This group of students is not only the commander of the ship, Su Ze also needs them to have the thinking ability of overall operations to cope with the operational needs of the large fleet.

  At this point, Europe has summarized a roughly systematic method for commanding maritime fleet operations, and the intensification of maritime operations by European countries has also led to the rapid development of military theory.

  For example, Denmark, a small European country in this era, had a fleet of sixty ships. During the Northern War, there were many battles involving hundreds of warships.

  Su Ze has high hopes for this group of trainees. They will be the combat staff and ship commanders of the Fuzhou Navy's new army, and will also be the team for his own rebellion in the future.

  Su Ze was training troops in Fujian with his head covered, and the battle in Zhejiang's official circles also reached a fever pitch.

  Gao Hanwen, the new governor of Hangzhou, who proposed "replacing relief with reform and resolving the dilemma by oneself", encountered two popular uprisings just after he arrived in Hangzhou. He suddenly discovered that the so-called self-resolution of the dilemma was a false proposition that neither party was willing to accept.

  Naturally, the people are unwilling to sell their fields. Land is the foundation of the people. Even if they sell their fields in exchange for today's food, they will starve to death in the future.

  What's more, this flood in Zhejiang is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster caused by the previous governor of Hangzhou?

  It has long been spread among the people of Hangzhou Prefecture that since the government flooded their fields in order to convert rice into mulberry, and now they want big households to rob their fields in order to convert rice into mulberry, it would be better to simply rebel and seize grain.

  The large households that Gao Hanwen hopes to buy land are not willing to do so. Rains have continued throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang this year, and grain prices have continued to rise. If grain is exchanged for land, the market price is even higher than the market price of buying land directly.

  Moreover, when the government asks you to buy a field, you have to bear the subsequent costs of converting rice to mulberry. For example, you need to purchase mulberry seedlings from the government, and the price is higher than the mulberry seedlings on the market.

  These big business owners are not fools. It’s already August this year, and they won’t be able to raise silkworms and harvest silk until next spring. Buying land now is simply a loss.

  There has never been any dilemma. In this transaction, the only ones who gained were the government, which sold mulberry seedlings at high prices, and the grain merchants who had received the news in advance to sell grain in Zhejiang.

  Now Gao Hanwen was also anxious. If the reform of rice to mulberry could not be carried out, he would lose his hat as the prefect of Hangzhou.

  In September, misfortunes never come singly, with heavy rains in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This time, floods not only occurred in Hangzhou, but also in Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou. Floods were several feet deep in the flat areas and continued for months.

  The flood completely bankrupted Gao Hanwen's replacement-for-relief plan, and converting rice into mulberry immediately became a fierce political struggle.

  Lin Run, the spokesman for the capital, wrote a letter to impeach Yan Maoqing, the core of the strict party. He dug up his old accounts when he was in the Qing army in Fujian and impeached him for corruption and bribery, but the emperor stayed in power.

  Immediately afterwards, the Yan Party also began to impeach Fang Wanghai and Zhao Zhenji, the assistant ministers of the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs, saying that they did not provide food to rescue Zhejiang and deliberately delayed the change of rice to mulberry.

  As a result, Zhao Zhenji was protected by Qingliu, and Fang Wanghai, who was clearly not in charge of the Nanzhili grain road affairs, was punished. Not only was he fined three months' salary, but the right to run the Nanzhili Customs Department was also assigned to Zhao Zhenji. Fang Wanghai was so angry that he simply complained of illness and went directly to his mansion on Hubu Street in Nanjing to recuperate.

  In Zhejiang, Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County, was also transferred to the magistrate of Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province because he refused to implement the conversion of rice to mulberry.

  With Zhejiang as the chessboard, the fierce battle between Qingliu and Yandang caused the once prosperous Hangzhou Prefecture to starve to death.

  Even some large households in Hangzhou Prefecture cannot afford to eat.

  Only those foreign businessmen who had already received the news and had accumulated enough food bought fertile farmland at low prices in Hangzhou Prefecture and annexed the land.

  Just when Hai Rui left Zhejiang with regret, Qi Jiguang, who was fighting against the Japanese in Xinghua, Fujian, also fell into trouble.

  Since his cooperative superior Tan Lun was transferred from Fujian, Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese war in Fujian fell into a quagmire.

  Before Yu Dayou was imprisoned, Qi Jiguang's idea was very simple, just to train troops to fight and serve the Ming Dynasty. As a military general, he naturally didn't have too many ideas.

  But Yu Dayou's incident gave Qi Jiguang a huge mental impact. As Yu Dayou's comrade-in-arms, he naturally knew how much effort Yu Dayou put into the fight against Japan.

  But the result was that Yu Dayou was abandoned by Hu Zongxian like an abandoned son, and a set of abandoned soldiers came to protect the chariot. Only then did Qi Jiguang understand that they who led troops in war were just chess pieces in the eyes of civil servants.

  No matter how great their achievements are, they are just bigger chess pieces, and they will naturally not be soft-hearted when they need to give them up.

  From then on, Qi Jiguang began to be cautious in his words and deeds. After he was transferred to Tan Lun's command, he also worked hard to build a good relationship with Tan Lun. The two of them cooperated tacitly, opened up the situation in Fujian, and won two battles.

  However, with Tan Lun's transfer to Zhejiang, this tacit balance was broken again. Qi Jiguang, who stayed in Fujian to fight against the Japanese, once again felt many constraints.

  In addition to the multiple incursions by Japanese pirates into Xinghua Prefecture, Zhang Lian's uprising in Guangdong also threatened the entire southern Fujian region.

  Zhang Lian was from Wushi Village, Raoping County, Guangdong Province. He felt that the distribution of labor among the clan was unfair, so he killed his brother from a wealthy family in the same clan.

  Zhang Lian simply defected to the peasant army led by Zheng Ba.

  Later, Zheng Ba died in battle in Guangdong, and Zhang Lian was elected as the leader. He built a palace and a stronghold in the mountains of northern Guangdong, surrounded by hundreds of small villages and gathered a hundred thousand people. Zhang Lian was proclaimed emperor, and his reign was titled "Zhaoli".

  Zhang Lian proclaimed himself emperor, which naturally shocked the court, so Qi Jiguang, who was originally transferred to Fujian to fight against the Japanese, was once again assigned the task of suppressing bandits.

  Qi Jiguang wanted to cry but had no tears. The Ming court was really not a human being.

  Following the policy of "use it to death if it works well", the key to beating a sheep like Qi Jiguang is to pay out all the reward money first!
  Qi Jiguang began to miss Hu Zongxian again. Although Hu Zongxian was not a human being, he was still working under him and did not need to worry about money, food and silver rewards.

  "General!"

  A young man pushed open the curtain of the big tent. Qi Jiguang put down the military book in his hand and asked,
  "Kemai, what did the Fuzhou Prefecture say?"

  The person who walked into Qi Jiguang's tent was Yu Zi, the son of Yu Dayou. Gao.

  After Yu Zigao saved his father from Dahao with the help of Su Ze, Yu Dayou was assigned to Datong to guard the border, and Yu Zigao was also dismissed from the military and returned to his hometown.

  Yu Dayou was from Quanzhou Prefecture. After Qi Jiguang led his troops into Fujian, Yu Zigao immediately found this uncle.

  Yu Dayou was more than twenty years older than Qi Jiguang, but the relationship between the two was very close. Yu Dayou was the son of a middle-aged man, so Yu Zigao was also Qi Jiguang's younger nephew.

  Qi Jiguang valued Yu Zigao very much and directly appointed him as his personal military commander, and left all the traveling matters to Yu Zigao.

  After what happened to his father, Yu Zigao became much more stable in his work. Qi Jiguang relied more on him and left all the money, food and logistics matters to him.

  "General, the people in Fuzhou said that we asked for too many rewards, and they have to send someone to verify the battle merits."

  Qi Jiguang said, snapping the case: "Didn't those heads and Japanese knives all be sent to Fuzhou? For this reward, the people in Fuzhou are all Do you want to dig at the rope?"

  Yu Zigao lowered his head, and Qi Jiguang sighed and said, "Fuzhou still thinks we are guest soldiers and is unwilling to pay the money!"

  Yu Zigao said, "Uncle Shi, I'm going again I found Mr. Su."

  Qi Jiguang raised his head and asked: "Su Rulin? I heard that he is training naval officers for the City Shipping Department? During this period, the new navy army has won several battles! Even the Japanese pirates here in Xinghua Prefecture have It's a lot more peaceful! It's a pity that I'm busy with military affairs and can't go to Fujian to see him!"

  Qi Jiguang and Su Ze have been close friends for a long time. When Yu Dayou and Yu Dayou were fighting against the Japanese in Zhejiang, Yu Dayou often shared Su Ze with Qi Jiguang. Ze's letter.

  The Yuanyang Formation used by Qi Jiguang for military training was also "learned" from Su Ze.

  Later, something happened to Yu Dayou, and Su Ze took Yu Zigao to Beijing to rescue him. Qi Jiguang, who valued loyalty, admired Su Ze very much.

  Hearing that Yu Zigao had met Su Ze, Qi Jiguang quickly asked Yu Zigao to sit down and asked,

  "What did Su Rulin say?"

  In fact, it was Su Ze who arranged for Yu Zigao to come to Qi Jiguang on his own initiative.

  Sure enough, Yu Zigao was put in high regard by Qi Jiguang and quickly became the officer Qi Jiguang relied on.

  Yu Zigao remembered Su Ze's instructions and said:

  "Mr. Su said that the new navy army is willing to pay us a sum of money and give us the reward money we owe in advance."

  Qi Jiguang stood up in surprise and said: "Is it true? Su Rulin really said that?"

   I have something to do today. I am short of 300 words. I will make up for it tomorrow morning. I'm sorry.
