Chapter 667 Destroy the Southern Song Navy
Guardian dog?

Su Yonglin did not expect that Xin Qiji would comment on the Southern Song generals like this.

But on second thought, he felt that what Xin Qiji said might not be unreasonable.

Under the leadership of an emperor like Zhao Gou, and with the maintenance of the logistics supply capacity of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is not easy for the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty to be good dogs.
On the other hand, Su Yonglin was very happy to feel the strong confidence in Xin Qiji's heart.

He led the Restoration Army to sweep the Central Plains, destroy the Jin Kingdom, and then established the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows how the Ming Kingdom was established, and everyone knows what the establishment of the Ming Kingdom means.

It means that the Ming army is invincible in the world.

Su Yonglin is very happy that his persistence and hard work have given the leaders of this country such a strong self-confidence, and this self-confidence will inevitably be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people over time and become the self-confidence of every Ming citizen.

This kind of self-confidence is the self-confidence that the Han people rarely have since Zhao Guangyi's failure to expedition Yanyun in the north. This kind of self-confidence relative to foreign races and enemy countries is a self-confidence that the Han people have not had again for a long time.

And now, Su Yonglin has rebuilt this self-confidence through iron and blood, exactly the same as when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Han the eternal title of the nation through iron and blood.

Of course, this level is not enough. Only when the Ming Kingdom once again brings the great unity back to the land of China through the unification war, this kind of self-confidence will become a complete body, and the self-confidence of the heavenly kingdom will return to people's hearts again.

This confidence is much more important than the outcome of a war, although this confidence itself comes from the war.

Wars, especially victorious wars, can bring too many benefits to a country and a nation.

Seeing the extremely confident demeanor of the staff officers along with Xin Qiji, Su Yonglin was very happy.

So he nodded and agreed with Xin Qiji's tactics.

"Okay, then put the main target of attack on Zhenjiang Mansion. If Wang Quan is a mediocre and incompetent person, once Liu Qi is defeated, Wang Quan will inevitably flee without a fight, then Jiankang Mansion will come down in an instant. Kangfu, straight to Lin'an is a smooth road.

At this time, the cavalry can be used to make a surprise attack. If the cavalry is fast enough, they will be able to attack in about three days. They will be able to reach Lin'an City and penetrate the Southern Song Dynasty. achieved. "

The staff members applauded loudly, as if everything was under control.

But things are not so easy.

"It's not over yet, don't be in a hurry to be happy. Although the Southern Song Mabu Army has little ability, their navy is very strong. If I can't defeat the Southern Song navy and ensure that the Yangtze River Ferry is under my control, my army going south will be cut off by the Southern Song navy. road risk.

In other words, before Nandu, if we can't defeat the Southern Song navy, we will not be able to sail safely to the south at all, so in any case, the premise of achieving a land raid is to defeat the Southern Song navy on the water, not to mention complete destruction, at least heavy damage. Are you sure? "

Su Yonglin looked at the staff officers.

This time, the staff officers were not as high-spirited as before.

It is a fact that the horse infantry army of the Southern Song Dynasty was incapable of fighting in the field, and it is also a fact that the naval forces of the Southern Song Dynasty were powerful in hand-to-hand combat on the water.

Daming navy was born out of the Southern Song navy, one can imagine how strong the tactical level of the Southern Song navy.

According to the research of the Water Warfare Section of the General Staff Department, compared with the previous dynasties, the water war technology of the Southern Song Dynasty has made great progress.

The first improvement is that warships use more wind power, and the sea-going ship has a wide bottom tip. When the wind is down, the sea-going ship is fast and has a large cargo capacity. It is suitable for transporting troops and can achieve some tactics that cannot be achieved in the previous direction. , such as beach landing.

The second progress is the popularization of cars and boats. Although the prototype of cars and boats appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the combat treadmills that were fully mature and could be put into actual combat still appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The navy of the Southern Song Dynasty had large and small ships equipped with eight to twenty wheels, and also built wooden castle watchtowers on these large ships, and installed trebuchets and rackets.

This kind of giant building ship equipped with clap sticks and catapults is suitable for long-range attack and near-defense. Long-range attacks can use catapults to smash enemy ships, and short-range attacks can sink or burn opponents. The functions are relatively versatile.

Of course, the wind and waves on the sea are strong, and such ships are of little use, but in the inland lakes, such ships are obviously more suitable for combat use than sea ships.

The third advancement is the use of gunpowder weapons, such as the thunderbolt cannon mixed with gunpowder, arsenic and lime powder in a porcelain jar, which is the magic weapon of the Southern Song Dynasty to deal with the Jin army. It can be said that the use of these firearms is also the housekeeping skill of the Southern Song navy.

Therefore, the navy of the Southern Song Dynasty is very strong, and the water warfare technology, including the jumping gang battle, is also quite strong. When dealing with the Jin soldiers in those days, the army did not dare to fight with the golden soldiers, but the navy was quite brave. The soldiers were defeated again and again.

However, this does not mean that the Ming army navy cannot win.

The progress of the navy in the Southern Song Dynasty was all inherited by the navy of the Ming army, including sailing large ships, battle ships for inland rivers, and firearms for water warfare.

Especially in terms of firearms, Su Yonglin enhanced the explosive efficiency of gunpowder. Before the artillery technology was developed, the rocket launched by the bed crossbow had become one of the main firearms of the Ming army, and it was also one of the most powerful gunpowder weapons in the world.

When Su Yonglin made a surprise attack on the Jin Army Navy, he relied on the big rocket to knock out the Jin Army Navy, and then successfully wiped out the Jin Army Navy and won the victory.

At present, the big rocket is the unique main battle firearm of the Ming army, and the gunpowder granulation technology is also the unique war technology of the Ming army. The power has continued to increase, and it is more powerful than when Su Yonglin made granular gunpowder.

The gunpowder in the Southern Song Dynasty remained in the form of powder and paste.

Although the artillery skills have not yet come out, the gunpowder technicians of the Ming army have gone further and further along the way of the explosion. Su Yonglin can be sure that the gunpowder used by the Song army is far less powerful than the gunpowder used by the Ming army.

This is one of the important reliances on which Su Yonglin believes that the Ming army can win the battle.

I have what others don't have, and that's an advantage.

Beyond that is the quantity.

The navy during the Tiaogang War can still win by numbers. Before the founding of the country, Su Yonglin had a navy of more than 300 ships. After the founding of the country, it expanded to more than 500 ships. Now it is still increasing, including logistics supplies. Including ships, the total number exceeds one thousand.

The navy has a full staff of 3000, which is not yet full, but now the Ming army navy has more than [-] qualified sailors. It can be said that a well-organized navy has begun to take shape.

There are many reasons why Wanyanliang's navy lost so badly. Not to mention the problem of his own command, Wanyanliang only started the navy one year before the Song Dynasty was destroyed. Nothing more, relying entirely on luck and violence in numbers.

Ming army navy is different, although not rich in combat experience, but there is, and the sailors are all professional.

Although the Ming army navy has no combat missions at the moment, they often travel to and from the sea to perform various tasks other than combat. When encountering pirates, they will also be dispatched to hunt down and fight. Even if they have less experience, they are definitely not new recruits. .

With such a navy, Su Yonglin did not think he would lose to the Southern Song navy at all.

For now, the only thing Su Yonglin didn't know was the current number of the Southern Song navy and the number of sailors, and how many ships the Southern Song navy could dispatch quickly to fight in an emergency.

After more than ten years of peace, has the Southern Song Dynasty navy still maintained its former strength, or has it become as useless as the Ma Infantry because of the long-term peace?
But no matter what, Su Yonglin is not a computer gamer, nor can he use a cheat device to fully open the map. Marching and fighting is a process of clearing the fog, and there is no one who knows everything.

"Although I don't know whether the water battle can prevail, there is no doubt that if my navy can win the water battle and defeat the Southern Song navy, I can directly land through Suzhou Ocean, directly threaten Lin'an City, and directly attack the Southern Song Dynasty. At the core, this deterrent is enormous.”

Su Yonglin pointed to the location of Hangzhou Bay on the map.

"If you can do this, you can directly establish the victory. With the virtue of Zhao Guan's family, it is estimated that he will run away again?"

Xin Qiji recalled some of the interesting things he knew back then, and said with a smile: "When the Jin army went to the south of the Yangtze River to attack, it was said that they were searching the mountains and inspecting the sea to capture Zhao Gou. It is cowardly to the extreme.”

Han Tai also smiled and said: "If my navy can win, and Zhao Guan's family flees again, it will be good to see."

"I'd love to see that too."

Su Yonglin nodded and said, "But if you want to see Zhao Guan's family fleeing, the key is that either the Mabu Army or the navy team threatens Lin'an, and the premise for the Mabu Army to threaten Lin'an is the destruction of the Southern Song navy, so the key is still the navy. "

Su Yonglin set the key point of this war - the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty navy.
