The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Ren Tianye's face was filled with surprise.

The training grounds for the naval forces are ready?

By the way, Zhang Shi has Lu Chaosheng assisting him. Lu Chaosheng was originally the actual commander of the Jiangbei Fortress Group. With Lu Chaosheng there, there shouldn't be any major problems with the training grounds.

that……

"What's with the warships?"

"Reporting to the Duke, General Zhang Shi rallied the villagers at Linjiang Ferry and requisitioned their boats, but... they should not be warships, but ordinary boats."

Ren Tianye nodded, quite satisfied with the result.

They were infantry, and the most difficult part of attacking the Yangtze River defense line was confronting the navy on the river, which required a large number of ships, not just warships.

Zhang Shi's ability to think of this and put it into action is enough for Ren Tianye to place even greater hopes on him.

Immediately, he wrote a military order, picked up the imperial seal, stamped it with a "clank," and had it sent to Zhang Shi, granting Zhang Shi authority and ordering him to make full preparations for attacking the Yangtze River defense line.

Zhang Shi, upon receiving Ren Tianye's military order, was overjoyed.

"Lord Duke, you approve of me."

"My lord, you approve of me!"

"Hahaha, I knew it! Even if I don't have Wang Ming's luck, I, Zhang Shi, will definitely catch up with Wang Ming step by step."

"Under the Duke's command, I will surely become a capable general who expands the territory!"

Lu Chaosheng nodded and said, "General Zhang Shi, with your talent, you have already proven yourself to be a good general. It's just that the situation in Yunjing is a little complicated. And General Zhang Shi, your actions have long impressed me greatly."

"only……"

Lu Chaosheng said, "Right now, we have gathered several thousand ships, although most of them are civilian vessels. However, combined with the warships left behind by the Jiangbei fortress complex, that should be enough, right?"

"Should we pause for now?"

"Are you discussing attacking the Yangtze River defense line?"

Zhang Shi immediately shook his head.

It is known that Lu Chaosheng has a misunderstanding.

Lu Chaosheng was a local of the Jiangbei Fortress Complex and was naturally familiar with naval warfare. In Lu Chaosheng's mind, attacking the Yangtze River defense line only required similar ships.

Zhang Shichang had been stationed in the northern frontier for many years and was more familiar with the habits of infantry.

For infantry, being familiar with water is not just about being able to swim; the most important thing is to ensure that the soldiers no longer have a fear of the river.

This is quite difficult.

For some soldiers, it may be a hurdle they never overcome in their entire lives, especially when facing the surging waves of the Yangtze River, which requires a comprehensive overcoming of physical, psychological, and habitual challenges.

Ships are an excellent vehicle.

They need a lot of ships, then they need to allocate them and finally determine a set of combat strategies that suit their large army.

He said, "Just do as I say."

"Continue to requisition ships."

"We must gather enough ships before the Duke arrives to make full preparations for taking over the Yangtze River defense line."

Since Zhang Shidu had said so, Lu Chaosheng naturally wouldn't refute him further, and replied, "Yes, General!"

"By the way, General Zhang Shi, should we continue issuing your proclamations?"

"Well, it seems to be working quite well."

Zhang Shi nodded and said, "That's for sure."

"The soldiers and civilians of Yunjing have long been united in their efforts."

"When the Duke led his army here, the soldiers and civilians were like fish in water and surrendered one after another. As the vanguard, I naturally had to carry out the Duke's will and spread the word to crack down on love-struck behavior."

"Otherwise, how could so many people have been willing to donate their ships and lend us a hand in such a short time?!"
