There was no fighting at sea, but the Datong Navy fired a few cannons, and the pirates were so frightened that they fled.
After the war, civil and military officials gathered together and happily discussed the glorious results of the battle. Only Navy Commander Fan Chao, who listened to the entire battle process, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"General Fan, but the navy is not fighting, are you unhappy?" Zheng Dayong joked with a smile.
Fan Chao took off his hat and put it gently on the table. After scanning everyone, he suppressed his anger and said: "Empress Lu, Ambassador Zhang, General Zheng, I am a rough man, and I certainly don't understand the principles as much as you. What I command is
Navy, I shouldn’t talk too much about you. But Your Majesty asked me to lead the troops to sea, so I have to bring everyone back safely."
As soon as these words came out, the joyful atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Fan Chao was brought over by Zhao Han after he conquered Zhangshu Town and brought his officers and soldiers to join the navy. Although he was similar to being a general, he had very senior military qualifications, and the naval commander Gu Jianshan also worked as a water bandit with Fan Chao.
Even the city of Nanjing was captured by Fan Chao's troops!
Encountering such a senior general, Lu Tianxiang quickly corrected his attitude and said: "What General Fan wants to say, feel free to say it.
Fan Chao first asked Zheng Dayong: "General Zheng was quite experienced in the battlefield before he became your majesty's personal guard, right? Which division commander did you fight with?"
Fan Chao sneered and said: "As expected of Zhang Houye's soldiers, they are brave and fearless, and they fight with no regard for the consequences!
These words were so strange that Zheng Dayong felt very unhappy and immediately comforted him: "General Fan, if you have something to say, please speak it out clearly. There is no need to hide it.
Fan Chao's face darkened and he asked sternly: "How dare you lead troops into the city even though you know there is an ambush in the city. Do you know how many enemies there are? Do you know there are fire troops in the city? If there are fire troops, your armor can block the fire."
Zi'er? Did Mr. Zhang teach you how to fight?
A series of accusations made Zheng Dayong speechless.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Zhang Ruifeng quickly smoothed things over: "General Fan, no matter what, the battle is won and we have no losses...
"you shut up!"
Fan Chao did not save face for the civilian officials at all, and interrupted directly: "Can you fight? How many soldiers have you led before?
This is completely opposite to the situation in the late Ming Dynasty, when military generals reprimanded civil servants as if they were grandsons.
Zhang Ruifeng didn't dare to quarrel with Fan Chao, knowing that these nobles were not easy to mess with. Fan Chao's current title is already a top earl, and when he returns to Beijing from this mission, he will probably be made a marquis.
Fan Chao was too lazy to argue with the civil servants and focused his firepower on Zheng Dayong: "Has General Zheng been a bodyguard for too long and hasn't fought in a war for several years? He can't help but want to make meritorious deeds? We still have a long way to go. There are many battles to fight.
You are in such a hurry! Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Forget it if you are in a hurry to reincarnate, you still have so many brothers in the army with you!"
Although the army generally looked down on the navy, Zheng Dayong, the emperor's personal guard, was able to defeat the enemy in Fan
After training Zheng Dayong, Fan Chao began to reprimand Shi Lang again: "I asked you to lead the troops ashore to protect the safety of the empress. The empress rushed into the battle alone to fight, and her face was shot. Where did you go?'
Shi Lang argued: "The generals under my command are all navy soldiers. They don't have horses, so they can't keep up."
"Asshole!"
Fan Chao angrily said: "Your troops have no horses, why don't you tie yourself to a friendly horse?"
These words made everyone present dumbfounded, and they all turned to look at Lu Tianxiang. Everyone could hear that Fan Chao was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Lu Tianxiang.
Fan Chao stood up, kicked over his stool, and left with one sentence: "Before tonight, everyone has to write a post-war summary report and hand it in!"
Seeing Fan Chao striding away, Zhang Ruifeng smiled awkwardly and said: "You don't have to be like this. Although General Fan spoke very seriously, he is also worried about our safety. Haha, it's okay. Next time we fight, we will discuss it with General Fan.
.”
Except for Zhang Ruifeng, no one else spoke.
The scene was completely silent. After being awkward there for a long time, Zheng Dayong finally calmed down and stood up and said: "I am at fault for this battle. Indeed, I have been living in Nanjing for several years and have never had the opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the war. This time I was eager to make meritorious deeds, regardless of the consequences.
. If it were fought domestically, it would be impossible to enter the city in this battle. First, there is a reasonable ambush in the city, and we don’t know the number of enemy troops and whether they have firearms. Second, the city walls are simple and can be defeated directly with naval artillery.
It can be destroyed. In order to allow the Guards to take the credit, I did not ask the Navy to cooperate immediately. The correct battle plan is to mobilize troops to surround the city when it is known that there are enemies in the city, and then immediately let the Navy fire artillery. In this way, the enemy can be completely wiped out.
, and there is no danger to itself.”
Zheng Dayong was already brave in battle and had great military acumen, so he was assigned by the emperor to command the personal guards to go to sea.
The reason why he had a seizure was firstly because he was eager to achieve meritorious service, secondly because he underestimated the enemy, and thirdly because he did not want the navy to take away the credit. Although he was scolded by Fan Chao, although he was not happy in his heart, he really woke up from the scolding. Moreover, he was also scolded.
I felt a little scared. If there were a large number of enemy troops in the city, the troops entering the city would be in trouble.
The commander of the emperor's bodyguard took the initiative to publicly admit his mistake, which surprised Zhang Ruifeng and other civil servants, subconsciously thinking that Zheng Dayong was suppressed by Fan Chao.
Lu Tianxiang also stood up: "Since General Zheng is reviewing his own mistakes, I will also review them. I made two mistakes. First, the enemy's cavalry was not damaged. I should not have gone with twenty or thirty cavalry.
Chasing an enemy ten times as big as myself; secondly, during battle, I should not be alone in the battle. I have a special status. If something unexpected happens, it will affect everyone. If the enemy had not messed up their position, we would have won this battle.
, there will inevitably be heavy losses. I will not take risks alone in the future, nor will I lead troops to pursue the enemy without authorization.
"Then let me talk about it too." Shi Lang stood up.
This kind of post-war summary meeting has been passed down from the Jiangxi period, and anyone who has been a soldier must be familiar with it. The civil servants present found it difficult to understand why they were still criticizing themselves after winning the battle.
However, as many generals conducted self-examination, they quickly revealed that they had made a lot of mistakes.
Zheng Dayong said: "Write everything down and I will sort it out and hand it over to General Fan."
Cai Yuncheng, who had never fought before, suddenly said: "I have something to add.'"
"Mr. Cai, please speak." Zheng Dayong said.
Cai Yuncheng's status is very low. He is not even a bachelor of Qintian Academy. He is just a graduate student of Jinling University and is affiliated with Qintian Academy with his mentor.
Cai Yuncheng said: "You generals have been on the battlefield for a long time, why did you make so many mistakes today? I think it has something to do with the sea voyage. After floating in the sea for several months, everyone has a bad temper, and I am also the same.
I quarreled with Brother Pan over trivial matters. I guess I was bored from being on the boat for a long time, so I just wanted to find something to do and move around.'
After saying this, everyone thought deeply and found that they were easily impulsive and their temperament was much more irritable than before going to sea.
Moreover, it is easy to get carried away.
In today's war, officers at all levels can be said to have taken the lead collectively.
Cai Yuncheng said: "I suggest that every time you sail for a period of time in the future, you should go to the shore to relax. From top to bottom, take turns to go ashore to rest. The soldiers are tired of traveling, so they should be allowed to visit brothels. But as far as I know, the port
Most of the brothels are infected with the disease, which is very dangerous. We can organize some activities so that everyone can have fun and relax."
"This is a good idea," Zheng Dayong said. "Every time after disembarking from the ship, let some soldiers be responsible for guarding, and other soldiers will engage in military competitions. Competitions in wrestling, wrestling, and running with weights are all already in the army.
Skills. Everyone can sign up to participate and participate on behalf of their own unit. They can be judged to be the top pick, second place winner, top pick, and top five. Anyone above the top five will be rewarded. The team of the top pick will get three extra days of meals! This is a trick.
, you can also watch it if you are not competing, and you won’t get sick from sailing for too long.
An officer from Guangxi said: "You can still compare your boxing skills!"
"That's too bullying. Who can compete with you Guangxi soldiers?" said a Guangdong officer.
Another officer from Shandong stood up and said: "Let's compete, who is afraid of whom?"
The two Datong divisions from Guangxi, because there were many Zhuang soldiers, brought in the "Ang Fist" practiced by the wolf soldiers.
Aung Boxing, Muay Thai, and Burmese boxing, these three boxing techniques should all come from the same source. The chieftain of Tianzhou in the Ming Dynasty classified Aung Boxing as a military boxing. After improvement, it became more systematic than Muay Thai and Burmese boxing. In addition to the unarmed boxing
, it also comes with weapon-playing methods, and it quickly spread among the Guangxi wolf soldiers.
Nowadays, the Datong Army in Guangxi and Yunnan have introduced Angquan as a military style boxing.
The specific characteristic of Angquan is that compared to Muay Thai, it has more elbow and knee techniques, while the leg techniques are far less than Muay Thai. Legs are rarely used in a fight. If you fall, you will have to use them.
Waiting to die.
When Zheng Dayong was in Nanjing, he had seen the high-handed fists of Guangxi soldiers. He shook his head repeatedly and said: "Your kind of punches are either elbows or knees, which often injure muscles and bones. After a punch, either one or both of them will lie down."
Everyone goes there. It's too dangerous and not suitable for the ring.
The officer from Guangxi said: "When boxing, you can wear protective gear and wrap your head with cotton cloth. Let's set some rules. No punches in the crotch or throat are allowed.
Zheng Dayong thought for a while and said: "Go down and figure it out yourself. Come to me when you've finished it."
The sergeant club, the sergeant sports meeting, and the boxing competition all appeared in the Datong Army.
As for Fan Chao, he received the post-war summary report in the evening. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally curbed this arrogant military atmosphere. At the same time, he also had the right to speak of the mission. It was no longer what happened after the mission came ashore.
I can't control it either.
This is the role of the veteran. Zhao Han did not arrange it randomly.
Only senior military generals can suppress that group of young people. The naval generals left behind by the Zheng family are not good, and they can talk nonsense. Only Fan Chao who came out of Jiangxi can.
"General, Empress Lu and Ambassador Zhang have sent someone to ask you to come ashore to discuss matters." The adjutant came to report.
Fan Chao immediately smiled. In the past, he would not have been invited. Those young people would not discuss with him once they came ashore, and they had no idea what they were doing.
"Have you prepared any horses?" Fan Chao began to put on airs.
The adjutant said: "There are horses. Empress Lu sent people to bring war horses and asked the general to ride into the city to discuss matters."
Fan Chao said proudly: "Very good, let's go into the city and have a look."
