Chapter 776 Sail to sea
Compared with Xue Rengui's eagerness to try, Guo Daifeng was obviously not very interested and even vaguely rejected.
I'm here to get gold plating, and you want me to charge into battle as soon as we meet? By the way, who knows how powerful the pirates are in combat? What if I encounter a group of desperadoes? What will I be able to do with my small body?
But then I thought about it, with my father here, how could Fang Jun not take the opportunity to kill me? Well, the more dangerous the place, the easier it is to gain meritorious service. Fang Jun must be afraid that rashly arranging a good position for himself will appear too abrupt and cause a backlash from others. I heard that there are many children from various families in the navy, so he must be on the surface. Fair play, right? As long as you go through such a journey and then be promoted to an official position, no one else can say anything.
In this way, although Fang Jun is not as old as himself, he is quite good at playing in the officialdom...
Xi Junmai took the two of them out to arrange accommodation and receive equipment. Fang Jun asked Su Dingfang: "Is the governor familiar with this Guo Xiaoke?"
Su Dingfang has followed Li Jing for many years. Although he has been ostracized everywhere, his familiarity with some figures in the officialdom is unmatched by Fang Jun. Of course, this refers to those people who are not famous in history. Otherwise, why would Fang Jun ask him?
Even he, Su Dingfang, couldn't understand himself better than Fang Jun. Fang Jun could even find out what he had done in the next twenty years...
Su Dingfang replied: "Familiarity doesn't count, but I know a little bit about him. This man was arrogant when he was young, but because he was not involved in production and behaved mischievously when he met again, he was regarded as a rogue by the villagers, but he was also very yes At the end of the Sui Dynasty, this man led hundreds of people from the village to join Li Mi of the Wagang Army. Li Mi was overjoyed and asked him to garrison in Liyang with the British Duke. Since then, this man has been under the British Duke's command. Later, the Wagang army was defeated and the British prince surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so he ordered Guo Xiaoke to join the court. His greatest achievement was that he made a plan with Hulao Pass, which made his Majesty's three thousand men break into ten. Wan Da defeated Dou Jiande, so he was awarded the title of Zhuguo. However, this man was unruly and had no close friends in the court. Even the British Duke was dissatisfied with him and did not regard him as a subordinate. "
It turns out that this person is also a stick, and he is as unpopular as himself...
Fang Jun was slightly reassured and ordered: "Everyone, go back and prepare. We will set off at nightfall tonight and arrive at Haizhongzhou at sunrise tomorrow morning. This is the navy's first battle, and there is no room for failure. Everyone should work together to fight." And win!”
"No!"
After receiving the order, several generals withdrew and went to check the preparations of their soldiers.
Fang Jun stretched out and was about to go back to catch up on some sleep when a white figure flashed at the door and his head suddenly felt heavy...
"Hey, hey, what's that expression on your face? Am I so annoying, so disliked by you?"
Yu Mingxue pouted and came to the desk and stared at Fang Jun with an unhappy expression.
Fang Jun rubbed his temples and sighed: "Auntie, I have a lot of things to do here. No matter what you want to do, just wait until I come back from the war, okay?"
Yu Mingxue immediately forgot about Fang Jun's hateful attitude towards her just now. She put her hands on the desk, leaned forward, shook her frail and insignificant upper body, and said with bright eyes: "Are you going to fight? Take me with you. Come on, I haven’t seen a fight yet.”
Does this count as "the Chinese people are full of ambitions, but they don't like red clothes and love armed forces"?
Fang Jun flatly refused: "Of course not! This is a war, and many people will die with real swords and guns. Why do you, a little girl, join in the fun? Just wait at home. I will return in triumph and get you two delicious foods."< br>
Yu Mingxue stared: "What's wrong, girl? I can hit eight people like you, so why don't you let me go? Maybe I will have to protect you then!"
Fang Jun's dark face turned red from suppressing it.
Although this damn girl can't beat you, she can't talk about it all day long, right? Even if it's true, no one can stand it when a pretty girl keeps saying "I can beat you eight times" in your ear every day!
Fang Jun also became angry and slammed the table: "If I say no, it won't be possible. How can there be women on the warship? This is definitely not feasible. Just give up on this idea!"
This is not nonsense by Fang Jun.
The sea is treacherous, with strong winds and waves, and one mistake can result in the ship capsizing and death. Since ancient times, it has been considered unsafe for women to get on the ship, and women are not allowed to go out on the ship. This rule was still retained in some remote fishing villages until the era when Fang Jun traveled through it. , let alone a warship?
Seeing Fang Jun getting angry, Yu Mingxue knew that there was no chance of going out to sea with the ship. She curled her lips and rolled her eyes: "Do you really think that anyone cares? Humph, I won't go if I don't go!"
With a cold snort, he tossed his sleeves and left, leaving Fang Jun with a slender back...
Fang Jun felt a headache, thinking about what happened to the old man of the Yu Ming family. No matter whether you are willing to let the children of the clan come to help me, you must take Yu Mingxue home. A girl is here Aren't you worried about people messing around in a military camp full of men?
This old man has a big heart...
In the evening, the fleet assembled, and the howl of "Woo-Woo" resounded throughout the dock and military camp. Groups of soldiers trotted up the trestle in neat steps and boarded their respective warships. They had an imposing military appearance.
Kong Yingda took a nap, and now he was full of energy. He stood by the dock with his hands behind his back and said to Fang Jun: "Erlang is really good at training soldiers. These generals from the major families have been trained to perfection by you in just a few days." It’s not that simple!”
Fang Jun said politely: "It's just a look-alike! Real combat effectiveness is not something that comes from training, it comes from fighting! Except for the soldiers who followed the juniors in Niuzhuji for a series of fierce battles, there are many others who have joined the army before. , but after all, water battles are different from land battles. They still need to grow slowly in the flames of war through repeated battles.”
This is not just about humility, consistent steps, and neat military appearance. These only require a few days of military training to see significant effects, but they have little to do with real combat effectiveness. To really give an army a "soul" and a spirit that cannot be broken up or beaten to death, it definitely cannot be achieved through training. It requires not only fighting with real swords and guns, but also giving them faith!
For the sake of faith, one can be fearless, despise life and death, and then one can be called an undefeated lion!
If you want this navy to burst out with super combat effectiveness, it is actually very simple. Constantly brainwash these soldiers to let them understand why and who they are fighting for. Their sacrifices will have great value. Naturally, there is no way. Fear of death, brave and unparalleled!
But he didn't dare to do this!
If he doesn't do it properly and someone maliciously misinterprets it, he'll be in trouble! Now His Majesty Li Er has great trust in him. Even if he kills people and sets fire, His Majesty Li Er will turn a blind eye, but if it is related to rebellion...
His Majesty Li Er will definitely be killed in minutes!
Dragons have reverse scales, and loyalty is the reverse scale of His Majesty Li Er!
If you are loyal to me, I will naturally give you my utmost love and trust; but if you betray me, you will only die!
Not to mention that Fang Jun had no ambition to be emperor at all. Even if he did, he wanted to rebel during the Zhenguan period?
Haha, thinking too much...
Kong Yingda asked: "Is there any danger in this battle?"
Fang Jun is extremely confident at this point: "Of course there is no danger. It's just whether we can annihilate all the bandits. There are many islands in the sea and the waterways are complicated. If you are not careful, those guys may escape. It is not easy to chase. But. Just a few more days By the end of the day, all the craftsmen from Laizhou Shipyard will arrive, and I also request your Majesty to mobilize shipbuilding craftsmen from all over the world to come to Huating Town. At that time, construction of a brand new warship will begin. No enemy can escape on the ocean! "
"Oh? Even so, I wonder if I can accompany you and witness some naval battles? Haha, I have been a weak scholar all my life. I can't lift my hands or shoulders, but what I yearn for most is that one day I can ride a horse into battle and charge to kill the enemy! Kill the enemy now! I can’t think about it anymore. I just want to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. Please be more accommodating to me.”
Kong Yingda looked very interested, which surprised Fang Jun.
The old man is actually quite angry... (End of chapter)
