Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 776 Robbery by order

The two benefited each other, each got what it needed, and the atmosphere during the meeting was getting better and better.

Kong Yingda also made an exception and drank a few cups. This kind of Jiangnan Huadiao wine is different from the wine in Guanzhong, and even different from the wine in Fang's family. It has a special taste, and Lao Kong likes it very much.After drinking a few cups, Lao Kong looked up at the "Official Proverbs" above the main hall, and praised him very much.

"Succinct and concise, pointing directly to the essence of officialdom, good writing, better writing."

Pei Xingjian, who accompanied the wine, took the opportunity to say: "Master, earlier the students talked with Master Hou about the way of being an official. Lord Hou said that an upright official who does nothing is not as beneficial to the common people as a corrupt official who is greedy and wicked. The students don't understand it. Please explain it to the master."

Kong Yingda looked at Fang Jun who was not on the side in surprise, and said solemnly to Pei Xingjian: "When it comes to the talent in handling affairs, the old man thinks that you are far above Fang Jun, but when it comes to building from a strategic height, understanding of people's hearts, and morals of the world, But Fang Jun is far above you. There is no absolute good or evil in this world, and there is no absolute right and wrong. Good intentions can do bad things, and bad people are by no means useless. The way of the world lies in the mean and in harmony When joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are not released, it is called neutrality; when they are released, they are all in the middle, which is called harmony. The one who is in the middle is the foundation of the world; the one who is in harmony is the Dao of the world. Everything grows."

Pei Xingjian heard the mist, but Kong Yingda stopped talking.The most reasonable things in the world are always contrary to the world view of propaganda. This is indeed embarrassing. If it goes on, it will be suspected of teaching bad children...

Some things are not clear, and only when you are on the scene, the meaning is self-evident.

After the food was over, Kong Yingda was a little sluggish, so Fang Jun ordered the banquet to be withdrawn and told Kong Yingda to take a good rest.After traveling all the way down the river, Kong Yingda was exhausted, so he waved Fang Jun away.Now that the school has not started construction, Kong Yingda temporarily lives in the town office.

When Fang Jun was about to leave, Kong Yingda asked if he could go to the address of the school tomorrow, but Fang Jun said: "Master, take a rest for two days, the younger generation has a big business in these two days, after finishing it, naturally I will accompany the master to walk around. "

Kong Yingda reprimanded rather resentfully: "Why are you so young that you are full of copper stink? Your fine and exquisite heart has been tainted by copper stink. You don't know what it means. You are a waste of everything!"

Fang Jun was very flattered by these words, he didn't expect that his status in Kong Yingda's heart was not low...

"It's not a philistine of the younger generation, it's really the Holy Order, and I have to do it."

"Oh? His Majesty's will? I don't know what business it is, can His Majesty issue an order?"

"By order to rob."

"What?"

Kong Yingda was dumbfounded.

*****
"Hou Ye, when did His Majesty order us to rob?"

Inside the navy camp, Pei Xingjian asked Fang Jun in a daze.

Fang Jun rolled his eyes: "We are the Royal Navy, which is His Majesty's private army. It is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but only obeys His Majesty's orders. Now there are pirates gathering in Haizhong Continent, robbing passing merchant ships, and killing them for money. We will go to clean up and rob the enemy's resources for our own use, just like the so-called 'robbing by order'!"

Pei Xingjian was sweating profusely...

Listening to Fang Jun's plausible nonsense, Pei Xingjian knew that the navy's first naval battle was coming.

After arriving in Huating Town, Fang Jun paid attention to collecting all kinds of information, especially the information on maritime merchants.In the past few days, many maritime merchants reported that pirates gathered on the islands of Haizhong Continent and plundered passing merchant ships, which was very arrogant.

Su Dingfang and the others also had weird faces, slandering Fang Jun's nonsense.

A good trip to sea to suppress bandits, but if it is said to be a robbery by order, this person does not know what is going on in his mind...

But Fang Jun's words are always surprising, so it's not surprising.

Su Dingfang asked: "Now that the navy has just been formed, there are 500 soldiers, more than 300 warships of various types, and a small group of pirates. I think it is not a big problem. It's just that although the last general is the commander of the navy, he has never experienced it. Water battle, I wonder if the general manager has any sea battle skills to teach me?"

At present, the entire Datang navy is extremely backward.

Although the three expeditions to Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty produced a large number of elite sailors, most of them were buried in the belly of fishes in several battles.The participating naval forces gradually fell silent and disappeared in the turbulent environment at the end of the Sui Dynasty.Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, all the focus has been on dealing with threats on land, and the navy is almost deserted.

Ultimately, it leads to the current dilemma of extreme shortage of water warfare talents.

We must know that a few decades ago, the navy of the Sui Dynasty fought all over the invincible opponents in the East...

Originally, the number of soldiers in Huating Town was almost negligible. Since Yang Xiuwu became the commander, he has never cared about training soldiers. Even the daily maintenance of warships has been abandoned. How can he know how to fight in water?
Fang Jun was also scratching his head when asked by Su Dingfang, how did he know anything about water warfare?
"This Marquis comes from a family of civil servants. How can I know about water warfare? Liu Renyuan, isn't your family guarding the frontier with military generals for generations? Let me tell you."

Liu Renyuan looked bewildered: "Boss, my family's military generals are true for generations, but they all ride horses, archery, spears and swords. How can I know how to fight in water? Except for the daily practice on the road when I came here, I have never seen it before!"

No one understands water warfare...

But Fang Jun didn't care about this, at worst, he used battle instead of training, and practiced with these pirates and thieves.

The reason why Fang Jun doesn't pay attention to the current method of water warfare is because of his own army building plan.In his plan, this new type of navy is completely different from the previous navy. Whether it is a new type of sailing warship or the weapons such as guns and artillery that will be equipped on a large scale, they will bring the original method of water warfare to the surface. Epoch change.

Even if they are a group of elites who are proficient in water warfare now, they will all become novices and rookies when they become new weapons and equipment in the near future, and they still have to learn from scratch.

The primary purpose now is to enhance the self-confidence and cohesion of these rookie sailors...

"What is the strength of this group of pirates?" Fang Jun asked.

Pei Xingjian, who was in charge of sorting out the information, said: "There are more than [-] sea-going ships of various types, including ten warships, which are naval warships from the former Sui Dynasty. I don't know where they got them. The number is about two hundred. The attack was vicious, and many of the maritime merchants who were plundered were shipwrecked and killed, and very few people were left alive."

Fang Jun slapped the table: "That's right! Our ship is larger than theirs, more than theirs, and more people than them, this is crushing! What kind of naval tactics are needed?"

Fang Jun really knows nothing about various military tactics.

In my previous life, I was a half-hearted military fan. When I was free, I looked at machine guns, cannons, aircraft and warships, but who would study various tactics?
What's more, Fang Jun has always been a believer in the "equipment theory", believing that when the equipment is strong enough, it can form a crushing situation, and the tactical advantage will be weakened infinitely.

Especially in this era of backward technology, as long as one's own ship is fast enough, big enough, and strong enough, the two armies face each other, artillery salvos and muskets roar, and any naval army will be crushed. Slowly summarize and make progress!

Just like the two encounters with Turkic wolf cavalry in the Western Regions, do you know what tactics?Facing the charge of the Turkic wolf cavalry at that time, the two groups were frightened to fight. As a result, the "Shocking Thunder" threw it like this, didn't it win the battle?

Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui looked at each other, as if they agreed with Fang Jun's opinion.

There is no way, the current situation of the navy is like this, and the entire Tang Dynasty can't find a decent navy general. In the past, the famous navy generals either changed their careers and became cavalry, or they thought that the navy had no future and refused to come.

I can only rely on myself to slowly explore, and slowly sum up a set of effective naval tactics.

Pei Xingjian looked at the simple map hanging on the wall, and said worriedly: "There are many islands in Haizhongzhou, and the waterways are complicated. If the thieves avoid fighting us instead of fighting and rely on the terrain to deal with us, it will be very bad."

Haizhongzhou is the Zhoushan Islands of later generations, and it has always been famous for its numerous islands.Not to mention chasing and killing thieves in unfamiliar waterways, if there is no local guide, it is easy to get lost, like being trapped in a maze, and you can't get out after going around!

However, Fang Jun has long been prepared for this: "This Marquis has made arrangements, and the pirates will definitely have nowhere to hide!"

At this moment, the soldiers outside the gate came to report: "Guo of Xuzhou is waiting to be sealed, Xue Rengui of Jiangzhou, please see me outside the gate!"

　Recently, the plot has been foreshadowed and calmed down, but the writing is more tiring...
