Qiming 1158

Chapter 658 Can you attack if the odds of winning are less than [-]%?

Song Jun's navy is indeed the world's elite, very good at fighting, even Su Yonglin has not objected to this.

When the Song army was beaten into a sieve by the horse infantry army, the navy did not pull his hips, and successfully blocked the Jin army's attack many times, making great contributions to the survival of the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty.

So Xin Qiji calculated a little about the success rate of the Ming army navy's direct attack on Lin'an.

"From a comprehensive judgment, the success of directly attacking Lin'an may be less than [-]%."

Su Changsheng frowned.

"Is it possible to attack if the odds of winning are less than [-]%? Isn't this too dangerous?"

"It is because less than [-]% can attack. If it exceeds [-]% and reaches [-]% to [-]%, Song Ting is not stupid. It is impossible to put the center in Lin'an and wait for us to raid. It is precisely because Song Ting is very confident in his own navy. , that's why I live in Lin'an safely."

Su Changsheng didn't know much about the military. He came from an intelligence background, and only ordinary people understood this kind of military technical issues. Since experts like Xin Qiji said they could, then he could do anything.

"I really don't know much about this aspect, but I still know a little bit about intelligence."

"All we need is intelligence."

Xin Qiji said with a smile: "Song's horse and infantry army looks like a turkey to us, and even the Jin army can't defeat it, let alone the elites of our Ming Dynasty, but the Song army's navy has always been known for being good at fighting, and we know the tactics of the Song navy very well. , but for now, we would like to know the size and approximate combat power of the Song Shui division as a reference."

Su Changsheng crossed his arms and was silent for a while.

Su Changsheng was not surprised by the fact that the Ming army mastered the tactics of the navy of the Song army, because the navy of the Ming army was basically trained in the way of the navy of the Song army.

This is actually a historical issue.

The Su family started out as a smuggler. As a smuggler or a smuggler operating at sea, it is impossible not to deal with the Song Jun navy.

In fact, the earliest Sujia private salt fleet was composed of retired veterans of the Song Jun navy.

Su Yonglin's grandfather, Su Dingguang, used his power to secretly recruit some naval veterans who were dismissed by the Song Army after the Shaoxing Peace Conference to lay the foundation for Su Jia's private salt fleet.

Many of those navy veterans were skilled sailors who made meritorious deeds in the Song-Jin war, and there were also some grass-roots officers, but after the Shaoxing Peace Conference, the imperial court did not need such a large navy, so they were all dismissed and only kept. The most basic marine personnel.

Su Dingguang seized the opportunity and recruited some good players to teach them the techniques and essentials of water warfare for the Su family, and to train their water combat capabilities and long-distance navigation capabilities.

So at the beginning, the foundation of the Su family's fleet was built by the veterans of the Southern Song Dynasty navy, and Su Yonglin and the Su family who followed him northward also mastered the tactics and tactics of the Song army navy.

This historical legacy directly led to the fact that the Ming Army Navy was built on the basis of the Song Army Navy at the beginning of its establishment, and the training scale, tactics and tactics were the same.

Therefore, the Ming army navy does not know the fundamentals of the Song army navy, at least he knows himself and his enemy.

Tactics and tactics can be known, but the current size of the Song Army Navy and sensitive issues such as commanders and generals are not so easy to answer. These are military secrets and will change every year. If you want to know, you must read the latest information.

Regarding Xin Qiji's needs, Su Changsheng thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Although there is a certain degree of difficulty, I feel that as long as you are willing to spend money, this type of information may not be available. There are many officers Song Ting who have dealt with me. In my opinion, it is the kind of warship that can pay enough money. The kind that can be sold to you, okay, I know, please rest assured, I will try my best to get this information, and then send it back to the Central Capital."

"Thanks a lot."

Xin Qiji once again held Su Changsheng's hand: "If you can get the real intelligence information, if my navy can go straight to Lin'an, the credit will be half yours."

Su Changsheng smiled bitterly.

"Let's get the information first. My navy also needs a lot of training. Song Jun's navy is really elite and very good at water warfare. Our army must not underestimate the enemy."

"I see."

Xin Qiji nodded.

Of course, he understood that the Song army and the navy were very good at fighting. When the Jin army went south, the Song army and the infantry army were completely defeated. Only the navy army could defeat the Jin army.

But then again, the navy of the Ming army is not weak.

The Ming Army navy started in the period of the Restoration Army, or the entire Su Yonglin group was transferred from the navy, and all of them had some research on water warfare, but later they were transferred to the horse infantry army.

When Su Yonglin first established the Navy, the Ming Army Navy had less than a hundred ships. Later, Sun Ziyi led the Navy to the north to crusade against the Kingdom of Jin, defeated the Jin Kingdom Navy, and captured a large number of ships in World War I. Expanded to more than 300 ships.

Later, the Ming army navy carried out transportation and beach landing missions for many times. Although there were no more battles, they were also expanded many times.

Up to now, there are more than 1000 ships of all kinds of warships and transport ships in the navy of the Ming army, more than [-] main battleships, more than [-] auxiliary ships, and more than [-] sailors. , which is quite large.

Su Yonglin also attaches great importance to the navy, and has repeatedly allocated funds to maintain and build new ships.

After the establishment of the Ming Empire, the navy was independent from the five army corps, and set up a separate army, named Jiaolong Army, with Kong Zhende, the former deputy of Sun Ziyi, as the main general of the Jiaolong Army, and another deputy Zhou Mancheng as the deputy general, leading the navy to be stationed in Daxing Mansion. coastal.

The Jiaolong Army built a new port at the original port of the Jin Kingdom, which was specially used for the navy garrison.

At the same time, Shandong and Liaodong each have a dedicated port for navy. Normally, when the Jiaolong Army needs to perform transportation and training tasks, it wanders around the sea area in this area. The sea routes are very familiar, and the driving skills are also good.

Xin Qiji felt that although the Song Army navy had a lot of background, after all, they had not fought for more than ten years. Although the Ming Army navy was young, but grew up in the fierce war, even if it could not crush the Southern Song navy, it would not fiasco.

On this basis, if you can get the specific data of Song Jun's navy, you will know yourself and the enemy, and it will not be difficult to achieve the final strategic goal.

Xin Qiji had expected that the Southern Song Dynasty would never pay the annual coins easily, because Su Yonglin said that what you can't get on the battlefield, don't even think about getting it at the negotiating table.

The big deal is to search the mountains and seas to catch Zhao Gou again, and let Zhao Gou recall his desperate journey more than 30 years ago. This should be a good thing for him, and it can improve his memory.

The two talked for more than an hour and almost finished talking about the business, so Xin Qiji asked Su Changsheng something less important.

"Are you familiar with Lin'an City?"

"I come here a few times a year. It's not too familiar, but I know something. What do you want to know?"

Su Changsheng asked with a smile.

"Before I came, Your Majesty told me that there were many small food vendors in the shopping street next to Zhong'an Bridge. They said that the food was delicious, so I remembered to try it. He also told me that there was a shop selling water-flavored snails. The soup from the hawker's house is delicious, so I specially asked me to try it, do you know that this shopping street is still there?"

"A shopping street next to Zhong'an Bridge?"

Su Changsheng became interested and said, "Your Majesty must know what to do. There are four very good shops and markets in Lin'an. The one next to Zhong'an Bridge is the one that eats the most. There are many shops and many stalls. Delicious food, sleep three nights and five nights, day and night."

"So prosperous?"

Xin Qiji was very interested: "I've never seen such a market before, sleep three nights and five nights? Don't the merchants in Lin'an sleep?"
