"The captain is on the ship, and the commander is on the ship to raise the commander's flag!" Weng Ya was standing on the deck to welcome Hong Tao. She was determined not to work with Mercy in the attack fleet. In her words, the attack fleet is a thief who picks up cheapness. She wants to fight against the enemy opposite the main fleet, so she becomes the temporary captain of the Jinhe and handles specific work on behalf of Hong Tao, so Hong Tao has more energy to command the entire fleet.

"Let's go first and let them keep up with each other." Hong Tao looked up at the rising black-bottom golden-line rat-headed commander flag, and involuntarily touched the scar on his left face. If he put on a black eye mask, wouldn't he be a pirate?

As the flag bearers on the lookout platform kept waving the signal flag, the two iron anchors of the Jinhe River were pulled up, and the sailmen began to crawl on the mast again, and sails were placed down from horizontally and obliquely. The sailors on the deck shouted trumpets and pushed the winch to pull them apart, tightened and fixed. The huge hull of the Jinhe River began to slowly slide eastward along the sea surface with waves of southeast wind. Various slogans also sounded on the sea surface behind, and seven armed cargo ships also raised sail tools one by one, following the Jinhe River one by one, lined up in a row.

"Old Confucius, you are old and have been following my uncle for a long time. Tell me why my uncle had to take the main fleet to take risks by himself? This job is done by both of us, and there is no problem with compassion, right?" As Bo Jiao, who was still rushing to his warship on a small boat, began to think about Hong Tao's intention behind his back. He was not trying to figure out the intention, but learning from Hong Tao. He had never attended a regular sailing school, and this skill was taught by Hong Tao. As the saying goes, the teacher led his door to practice alone, and it is not enough to do it, so he still had to think about it.

"Your Majesty should be afraid that we can't control our emotions, so he will kill the red-eyed person and bring the fleet into danger. Your Majesty is rarely influenced by emotions. All judgments are based on this. He is born to be handsome. He feels very at ease when he fights with such a commander. If he is not sure, he will never take action. Once he takes action, he will basically win." Kong Pei also understood some of Hong Tao's habits and hit Hong Tao's fighting style in one sentence, just two words: Caution!

"If I want to say it's timid. My father said that if the gentleman was brave, he would have driven away the Song Dynasty and the Mongols long ago. Fighting is not like doing business. You have to make money to do it. You have to be 30% sure, plus 100% confidence. You can often win." Swan disagrees with Kong Pei's analysis. His fighting style is completely different from Hong Tao. One is to be cautious and the other is to rush and fight hard.

"You are just a captain's material. My father said, "Sir is not meant to be cautious, that is called maturity. If you have a crossbow in your hand, you can solve the battle within dozens of meters. Why do you have to rush up and fight with others? This is called defeating the enemy's weaknesses. Do you understand? Your father's style is outdated. The teacher said in school. In the future, the war will be less and less dependent on human courage, but more dependent on technology. No matter how easy it is to use your saber, do you know what the other two things in your waist are called? That's called a pistol. If you aim at you fifty meters away, you will get a smoke from a shot put so big that it hits your body.

No, don't care how thick the armor you wear, you will be so big a transparent hole. Are you afraid? Let me tell you another top secret information. The pistol is just easy to carry, and the gentleman is used to defend himself. Minister Qi and others are making a new weapon called a rifle. One shot is accurate from three to four hundred meters away. Swan. Let you get five hundred best cavalry. I bring three hundred rifle soldiers. It doesn't matter if the plains are not raids. As long as it is not a surprise attack, you wonder who can win?" The compassionate father is the Minister of Supervision, and the uncle is the Director of the Interior. If the entire empire wants to find the most informed person, just look at him in his face.

"As you said that, isn't it just a smaller version of the cannon? Then I'm just playing tricks! You hold three hundred cannons and I won't fight you. I'm stupid!" Swann was just a straightforward personality and was not stupid. He only heard a few words of mercy and made up the general principle of this new weapon.

"Then aren't we invincible? Let Minister Qi build thousands of small cannons, and in the future, our Jinhe Empire has the final say in the sea. When we arrive on the ground, we have to decide. If anyone disagrees, we will give him a few thousand cannons and smash him!" This was the first time Bo Jiao heard that there were such weapons, so he immediately began to imagine again. He opened his mouth and had thousands of doors, just as easy as the thing was a wood carving.

"That's not. If these thousands of people were allowed to ride on horses with small cannons on horseback, they could go from Guangzhou to the Yellow River in half a month! If not, I have to find an opportunity to ask the sir. If this thing really happens, I will not be a captain. I will be an infantryman. Although the warships run fast, they are unfortunately unable to go ashore, nor can they see the enemy being beaten to the flesh and blood by me face to face, which is not enough!" Swan followed Bojiao's thoughts and immediately became excited, and his enthusiasm for doing whatever he wanted was coming again. If the Jinhe River had not left yet, he would dare to go to Hong Tao to ask him clearly now.

"If you dare to go, I will break up with you! This is the top secret. I eavesdropped on you from my uncle and my father. I have all closed my mouth. I told you that it is because we have a good relationship. You won't betray me, right? No, you swear one by one, I don't want to be whipped!" When Swan was about to go to Hong Tao to ask, his merciful face turned pale, and he grabbed everyone on the boat and sweared no more.

Five days later, a large number of sail shadows suddenly appeared in the eastern part of the Shengsi Islands, which scared the Southern Song navy stationed here immediately ignited the beacon on the island. Smoke columns rose westward along the archipelago and soon reached Mingzhou and Lin'an. Then the Qiantang River estuary became lively, and hundreds of warships of the Southern Song navy continued to gather here, which was a bit of aroused to block the entrance to the Qiantang River with ships.

"A frightened bird! Wouldn't you look at the sailing gear and call the police? It's really blind to expect them to defeat the Mongolian army. No matter at the 6th place or on the sea, they were scared. Once this person was afraid of being beaten by others, his combat effectiveness would immediately decrease by 50%. Every time he saw this person, his legs would tremble." Hong Tao, the Southern Song navy at the mouth of Qiantang River, could not see these beacon fires, and then he could use his big toe to know what the Southern Song navy would be busy. The idea of ​​expecting the Southern Song navy to help him resist the Mongolian navy became a little weaker. It might be easier to play with his own fleet without taking these people. If he took them to fight together, they might be more trouble than the enemy would cause to their fleet.

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty transferred all the navy north of Fuzhou here and did not take the initiative to fight. He only guarded Lin'an and Mingzhou. What if the Mongolian navy went to Fuzhou to board the 6th?" Weng Ya couldn't understand the strategic layout of the Song Dynasty court. This passive defense tactic may work on the 6th ground, but it would be difficult to use when it was on the sea.

With sea ships, which can be used to fight and transport, hundreds of miles are just one or two days. You can fight wherever you want, and you can board 6 wherever you want. It is hard to defend. Therefore, Hong Tao always emphasized to the students in the navigation school that the navy is not a defensive army. It must attack, take offense as defense, and only when going out to attack is useful, and the defensive navy has no way out.

"Fuzhou can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, not only Fuzhou, Guangzhou and Quanzhou are the same. As long as Lin'an is not lost, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty thinks that his throne has not been lost and the country is still there. In terms of learning new technologies and new ideas, the Song Dynasty is not as fast as the Mongolian Empire. From this point of view, the Mongolian Empire with fewer culture and traditions is ahead. They bear small burdens, and learn whatever is beneficial to them. Let's get anchor, we will build a supply station on this beach, telling everyone that we must be careful of moisture protection. Without these ammunition, our ship will be waste." Hong Tao saw through it. As long as the Southern Song Dynasty court remains in its current state, don't expect it to change its mind suddenly. If you want to save this country, you must not only shelter it from the outside, but also put pressure from the inside to promote it to take the initiative to change. Just like when the Qing government was forced to carry out the Westernization Movement, the necessary suffering still needs to be eaten.

"This kind of emperor is really not a thing, so she should blow them all down and let her uncle be the emperor!" Although Weng Ya is not from the Song Dynasty, she still hates the Emperor of Song Dynasty's practice of completely ignoring the safety of the people. This is called a class standpoint. When she thinks about problems, she will involuntarily stand on the side of the people.

"You are too concerned about your uncle. I can only make do with it if I am an emperor in Jinhewan. If I give the Song Dynasty, I will not be able to play with it. It is difficult to make a comeback. Such a big country is difficult to change with just one person or a few people. It requires a large number of people." Although I was happy to hear others praise him for being a good emperor, Hong Tao was not yet in a state of forgetfulness. He really dared not ask for it. Unless the entire court is clean and started again, he would not think of any good medicine that could change the appearance of the Song Dynasty in the short term, and even maintain the original state. Maybe it would be better than the original emperor.

"You make me the commander of the Navy of the Song Dynasty. I promise to do it well!" Weng Yatian shamelessly asked for a presidency for herself.

"You should get this supply station ready first. Xu Liangzhi's cargo ship will bring construction materials and workers to help in the past two days. You can find someone to stare at them. Whether it is a powder barrel or a shell box, it is only allowed to move and not open it. And it must be taken lightly. Now you act as the commander of the fleet, which is also satisfying." Hong Tao has no right to promote Weng Ya. It is boring to discuss this issue. If you have this time, go to bed for a while.
