Chapter 901 The Attacking Sun Kewang
From Zhao Zhuzi's battle report, it can be seen that Wei Jun's navy and Ming Dynasty warships are not at the same level.

The official ship was hit and sunk, and the ship asking for an explanation was sunk and captured. In the end, all the soldiers and horses were ordered to recover the place, but they were also beaten to the ground by the Ming army navy.

Such a result shows that there is a huge gap between Wei Ming's navy, and with such a navy, how will Wei Jun conquer Jiangnan in the future?

Li Yan pondered and said: "I heard that most of the Ming army's sailors came from the southeast coast, while our navy mostly recruited fishermen from Huguang. The sea is rough and you need to control large ships to go out to sea, but the fishermen in Huguang just control the sea. Small boat. Comparing the two, the gap is obvious."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, this is indeed a problem, and it is still a difficult problem to solve.

The Zheng family occupied Taiwan, and the Manchu Qing occupied the entire Central Plains. The manpower and material resources cannot be compared, but the Manchu Qing still took a lot of effort, coupled with the traitors' defection, to defeat the Zheng family's navy.

Now the navy of the Ming Dynasty mainly came from the east of Zhejiang and the coastal areas of Fujian.Just like the Mongols are born cavalry, the people in these places are born able to steer boats and go to sea, with regional genes in them, and the Wei Jun navy really can't compare.

Li Yan continued: "I don't know much about water warfare, but I have read the records of the famous general Yu Dayou, and there is a saying in it, the king may refer to it!"

Gao Yihuan frowned, "Sir, please speak."

"Yu Dayou said that nowadays there is no such thing as water warfare. Big boats are better than small boats, big guns are better than small guns, many boats are better than few boats, and many guns are better than few guns." It must be a talk of many years of experience, but looking at my Wei navy with this statement, it is true that there are few boats and small boats, and there are few guns and guns."

Gao Yihuan thought about this statement carefully, and was a little surprised. Isn't this the way of thinking of a giant cannon ship and a modern large navy?This idea is quite modern.

Now with the emergence of artillery, the warfare on the water is also undergoing rapid changes, but the reason is easy to understand. It is not easy to build a big ship and sailors who can control it, because there is really no talent for building a big ship in Huguang. And there were no sailors to steer the big ships.

Gao Yihuan pondered slightly. It seemed that the possibility of Wei Jun's navy trying to overtake Ming's navy was quite slim. He could only think about it and see if there was any way to overtake in a curve to improve the navy's combat power.

At this time Gao Yi sighed happily, waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the matter of the navy first." He changed the subject and brought up the matter of Wuchang again, "This time the Ming army provoked, and the lonely king endured it, but the cabinet can't really do it." If it didn't happen, you can't think that Gu really swallowed this breath."

Speaking of which, Gao Yihuan stared at Wang Shicong and said: "The soldiers in Huguang must be full of anger now. The lonely king told them to bear it, which will inevitably hurt their morale. Therefore, the Discipline Department of the Ministry of Rites must do a good job of guiding and let the soldiers know that the lonely king must concentrate on resisting. Qing, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, they ignored the provocations of the Ming army."

Wang Shicong stood up and saluted, "I understand that the Ming army did not fight against the Qing Dynasty, but created troubles to attack Wei. Your Majesty must endure the humiliation and take care of the overall situation."

Gao Yihuan nodded in satisfaction. Wang Shicong obviously understood his spirit, and he wanted to treat Zhu Cilang as a reactionary, "Well, let's guide it like this. In addition, we should arrange the incident of the Ming army's provocation in Wuchang and the sinking of the Wei ship into an opera. Make it into a villain book and carry out publicity, so that the common people and soldiers can recognize Zhu Cihong's face."

Ever since the release of the post, Zhu Cihong has been stricter in controlling Jiangnan's remarks, making it difficult for Gao Yihuan to display in Jiangnan, but Wei is under his control. unite.

Whoever controls public opinion has the right to interpret events.

"I take orders!" Wang Shicong bowed hurriedly.

Gao Yihuan sneered in his heart, the eldest brother has no strength, and even pretended to be an imperialist power for the lonely king, and see if the lonely king can't kill you.

"Then let's deal with this matter like this!" Gao Yihuan set the tone and was about to leave. Seeing this, several academicians hurriedly got up to send them off.

At this time, Gao Yihuan had just left his seat, but suddenly remembered something, and then sat back again, and asked aloud: "By the way, Mr. Li said just now that Sun Kewang and Zhu Cilang made peace. Did the cabinet get the specific terms of their peace negotiation?"

Sun Kewang is not a law-abiding master. He violated Gao Yihuan's wishes and negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty, and did not notify Wei in advance, which made Gao Yihuan a little worried about this.

Li Yan shook his head, "Not yet, but it is certain that Sun Kewang's attitude towards me, Da Wei, has changed."

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "How to say?"

Li Yan replied: "After Sun Kewang occupied Annan, he acquired a large area of ​​grain fields. This year, he has suspended the copper grain trade with Wei. This shows that Sun Kewang has solved the grain problem and got rid of Wei's control."

Gao Yihuan sat up straight and his expression became serious.

The link between Wei State and the Western Army is food. Sun Kewang didn't have it before, but Gao Yihuan had it, so Gao Yihuan was able to control Sun Kewang. Now that Sun Kewang has food, naturally he doesn't need to listen to Gao Yihuan's words.

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "If this is the case, it will be more dangerous. Sun Kewang has no skills, but he likes to be self-righteous and can do things well. If his head gets hot, he might do something irrational."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan turned his head and said: "Go to Xuanyiwei to read the library, and pull out the files of Sun Kewang and Xijun. The lonely king wants to see it."

The guard standing next to him saluted hurriedly before exiting the study.

At this time, Gao Yihuan said to several people: "Sun Kewang is quite ambitious, and the cabinet issued a decree to ask Liang Xueshi to take precautions to prevent Sun Kewang from attacking Sichuan."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Let's stop here today, the lonely king will read the file first, and we will talk about this matter another day."

Li Yan and the others bowed and retired, and not long after, Fang Jiayu personally delivered a tray of various information.

Gao Yihuan picked it up and flipped through it. After two hours of reading, Xuan Yiwei recorded Sun Kewang's situation in recent years in detail.

It has to be said that Sun Kewang is a talented individual, and the defeated soldiers entered Yunnan and Guizhou. In a few years, his territory doubled, controlling Yunnan, Guizhou, western and southwestern Guangdong, Guangxi, Nanzhang and Annan, and forcing Guangnan Ruan The Lord surrenders.

Now Sun Kewang can control nearly 30 people, and with the southeast peninsula as his granary, his strength cannot be underestimated.

After reading it, Gao Yihuan frowned, stood up and paced with his hands behind his back. Few of the small countries on the southeast peninsula are Sun Kewang's opponents. In this way, Sun Kewang will definitely continue to grow.

This made Gao Yihuan feel a little threatened, he suddenly stopped, and hurriedly ordered, "Vice Envoy Fang, Xuan Yiwei must get Sun Kewang and Zhu Cihong the terms of the peace negotiation at any cost!"
