Ma Shiying was still patiently persuading: "Yuanhai, don't lose confidence in the future, you haven't led troops, and the Jiannu Azig Department claims to be 80,000, but in fact, it needs to be discounted." Most armies are made up of many arms, and not all of them can go to the battlefield

。 ”

When he said this, his voice was louder, and it reached everyone's ears clearly.

The laughter of the officials stopped, and they all had to please Ma Ge Lao, so they all listened attentively. Even Ma Shiying's political enemy, Qian Qianyi, couldn't help but turn his head around, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Ma Shiying wanted this effect, and he pointed his finger and said: "Take a team of tens of thousands of people, all of which are composed of three departments, the main soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and people. The so-called main force soldiers, as the name suggests, are the armored soldiers who are responsible for charging in front, accounting for 20% of the troops, that is, about 2,000 people. ”

One of Shangshu exclaimed in surprise: "So little? ”

Ma Shiying nodded and continued: "The so-called auxiliary soldiers are soldiers who assist the main army in battle, without armor, and are only issued with a knife or a spear. The daily affairs of the auxiliaries are to assist the main soldiers, such as feeding the cavalry horses, armouring the armor soldiers when they go to the battlefield, and setting up camp when the troops are stationed. The configuration of auxiliaries and main soldiers is generally three to one, which means that a main force will generally be equipped with three auxiliaries. The remaining soldiers are the people, and their main task is to transport grain and straw, pave roads and build bridges, and the people are naturally unable to go to the battlefield. ”

"As for the subdivision of the main army, there are also cavalry, sword and shield men, heavily armored spearmen, gunners, and musketeers. In our Ming Dynasty's nine-sided town army, the combat effectiveness of the main force is still not successful. Therefore, the generals of each town will raise their families as elite forces. [There are almost all the popular books I want to read.,It's much more stable than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] In this way, a huge army of 10,000 people can really fight only two or three hundred families. ”

"Ahh All the officials were taken aback, how could it be possible for a force of 10,000 people to really fight a war of two or three hundred.

Ma Shiying was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, and then said: "Jiannu is fully armed, and a team of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses naturally cannot have only a few hundred soldiers who can fight. However, the ratio of the main soldiers, auxiliaries and people is similar to the border army of our Ming Dynasty, the old slave Nuerhachi is the righteous son of Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong, after his cavalry, the Jianzhou Eight Banners partially copied the military system of our Ming border army. ”

"In this way, the army of 80,000 Azig will be more than 10,000 or 20,000 miners and auxiliaries." Ma Shiying deliberately lowered the number of the Manchu army: "Moreover, don't forget, the princes don't forget, just these more than 10,000 main soldiers, and there are also sub-stations from Shaanxi to Henan, and then to Huguang and Nanjing, and there are remnants of thieves over there, and they need to protect their long supply lines." Therefore, the old man expected that Azig's troops before the victory pass would not exceed 40,000, and the main army would not exceed 10,000. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the princes, what can be defended by the Great Victory Pass can be defended

。 ”

"Buzz!" As soon as there was a bang, the officials began to talk again, a little chaotic.

Hearing Ma Shiying's words, Yu Xiang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but nodded, praising in his heart. In fact, Ma Gelao's words also coaxed these adults who were not diligent and indistinguishable, and they could not stand scrutiny at all, and anyone who had been in the army for a few days could easily find the problem in his words.

However, Yu Xiang can still smell some meaning from Ma Gelao's words: Lao Ma doesn't want to be a traitor and surrender to Jiannu to be a servant of the Qing court, although this person has a lot of problems, he is greedy and unscrupulous. But he stands very firmly on the position of national righteousness, but it is a pity that his subordinates are a group of villains, and Lao Ma, as the leader of an interest group, will inevitably go against his will sometimes when he does things.

What he said just now can at least prevent those who are still waiting and watching from immediately throwing themselves on Jiannu's side, and also make Ruan Dacheng and other court officials who want to be traitors waver in their decision.

And so, that's enough.

In fact, other people can be traitors, but it is impossible for him Ma Yaocao to surrender to Jiannu. The reason is very simple, others surrendered to the Manchus, and there was still an official to do. What can Lao Ma do when he goes to Beijing, is it comparable to the scenery when he was the first assistant in the Nanjing government?

Ma Shiying did a good job, and next, just wait for the generous fleet to arrive, and the effect will be better.

"Five thousand sailors, a few broken ships...... Hey! Yu Xiang couldn't help but laugh secretly: "Wait a minute, let you see the majesty of my Yangzhou Town Navy, and let you see what it means to coerce Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea!" ”

……

It was bustling, and suddenly, as if someone had cast some magic, everyone stopped talking in unison.

This also includes the soldiers and officials who were busy on the docks of Shimonoseki, as if a later movie had suddenly turned off its stereo and turned into a silent movie.

This situation is very strange, and many people subconsciously look at the river to the east.

The whole world was eerily quiet, except for the sound of the river rushing and flowing.

At this turn, everyone realized that something was wrong.

But I saw that a white wave was surging rapidly on the horizontal plane, just like the tide of Qiantang during the Mid-Autumn Festival

。

There were so many sails waving in the wind that there were so many that in a single moment, the entire horizon was occupied by countless large ships.

A large number of waterfowl were driven by this huge fleet and flew up one after another, joining in the sky.

"Woo!" Countless trombones sounded from that side, and they were blown by the river wind and echoed in the sky and the sky.

The solemn, majestic and majestic aura came to the face, even if it was still six or seven miles away, it still made people unable to breathe.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Xiao Yu had already quickly taken out a thousand miles to look at the past, and shouted excitedly: "Navy, our navy, the navy of the Ming Dynasty, the flagship raises the forward flag!" ”

The fleet came so quickly, and it was full of sails, and with the help of the southeast wind, it advanced to a distance of three miles from the Shimonoseki pier in a moment, and it was already possible to clearly see the bow of those battleships as sharp as knives, and see the strange statues on them, with dragon heads, lions, sea gods, and bare-bottomed mermaids......

The front is the flagship Zhenyuan, followed by Weiyuan and Chaoyuan, and then the flying clippers led by the flying Henanren, and then countless ironclad ships and Guan ships behind...... Many ships also had copper edges on their sides, and the main battleships such as the Zhenyuan were even equipped with steel armor. The cannons of all the ships had already been pushed out, pointing at the south bank of the Yangtze River in a black hole.

In an instant, the entire Yangtze River was occupied by warships; For a moment, the eyes were filled with the glitter of armor and the steel of the cannon.

It's not just a fleet, it's a moving city, a city of metal.

The entire Xiaguan wharf, from the cabinet elders of the current dynasty to the officials, soldiers, and porters at the checkpoint, all watched this amazing scene in amazement.

Hundreds of warships, large and small, all sailed arrogantly, the river that broke through the bow of the ship, stirred up layers of waves, the mountains and tsunamis surged towards the shore, wave after wave, and when they fiercely slapped the pier trestle and stepping stones, a huge wave of more than two meters high had been formed, and a loud bang hit the soldiers, sweeping a group of black and oppressive figures directly to the ground.

The first three boats are too big, it's just a high-rise building, I'm afraid it can hold 100,000 catties of things!

In comparison, the naval vessels under Liu Kongzhao's command were so pitiful, they were simply a small melon seed in front of this desolate beast.
