"Tell me about your family!" Li Qing randomly found a chair to sit down, pointed to another chair next to him and said to Deng Peng: "Sit, sit down and say!" ”

Deng Peng leaned sideways, looked at Li Qing and said with a smile: "This is my family background, it's clear that they are all Dashuai's family background, I'm just watching for Dashuai!" ”

Li Qing laughed, "Deng Peng, Deng Peng, you are a good person, you are fine, but you are too careful, as a general, your surname is not very good, and you will sometimes look ahead and backward when you do things, if you are on the battlefield, you will make a mistake." ”

Deng Peng's face was solemn, "Thank you for your advice, the last general remembers." There will be no retreat from this responsibility. ”

"Hmm!" Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, it is good for generals to be careful to avoid suspicion, but it is not a good thing to be too submissive, in the long run, even a tiger will be crapped into a sick cat.

"At present, the Fuzhou Navy Division has 10 warships with more than 5,000 materials, 15 warships with more than 3,000 materials, 30 small warships with more than 1,000 materials, and more than 100 ships with other ships, Xiandeng, and Chima. Each of the 5,000-material large building ships is equipped with about 500 people, while the 3,000-material battleship is equipped with 300 people, and most of the 1,000-material battleships are around 100 people, and there are about 20,000 sailors in total, plus the 5,000 sailors and marines specially asked by the marshal to equip us, and the Fuzhou naval division plus the shore base, a total of more than 30,000 people. Deng Peng explained to Li Qing the current scale of the water division.

"I thought you had dozens of warships of more than 5,000 materials?" Li Qing said disappointedly.

Deng Peng smiled, "Dashuai, in the past three years, if you talk about the shipyard's shipbuilding capacity, it is no problem to build dozens of 5,000-material warships, but the raw materials are all matched, not to mention anything else, just the big wood for shipbuilding, it is difficult to collect, if you want to build a good warship, this big wood must be dried in the shade for more than two years before it can be used, otherwise once it is stormy in the sea, within a year, it will definitely fall apart." ”

Li Qingqi said: "And this said? I don't know. ”

Deng Peng said: "The handsome man said that there are all kinds of opportunities, and these little things are naturally ignored. Three years ago, I ordered the Hailing Shipyard to store timber on a large scale, and within one to two years, we could add another 10 to 20 5,000 warships. ”

"Can you build a 10,000-material battleship?" Li Qing looked at Deng Peng. To tell the truth, in these years, a battleship of 5,000 materials is considered to be huge, but in Li Qing's eyes, it is really nothing, but his words startled Deng Peng, "Dashuai, 10,000 materials, this, this Hailing shipyard has never been built, Dashuai, no one has ever built such a large battleship in the entire famous shipyard of Dachu!" ”

"I haven't built it, so I can explore it!" Li Qingdao: "Commander Deng, think about it, if you have so many warships in your hand, what will happen if you have a naval battle?" ”

Deng Peng really didn't think about it, mainly because Da Chu doesn't have a 10,000-thousand-dollar warship now, hearing Li Qing say this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Dashuai, what you said, it really makes sense, now in naval battles, big ships are better than small ships, more people are better than few people, if there are really so many big ships, the Fuzhou Navy Division can be invincible in the world, but the key is this shipbuilding technology?" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Let them explore and experiment first, there will always be a successful day!" ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Deng Peng said.

"Don't talk about the ship beforehand, do you know what I'm looking for you?" Li Qingdao.

Deng Peng said with a smile: "The marshal must use our Fuzhou Water Division, and now the army has nothing to do for the time being, and it is time for our Navy Division to show the prestige of our Dingzhou Army!" ”

"Do you know who you're up against?" Li Qingxiao asked.

Deng Peng excitedly took out a map from his arms, dragged it across the table, spread it on the table, and said: "Dashuai, when the overall situation of the Pingbarian War has been decided, I am wondering who our next enemy is. ”

Li Qing stared at the map that Deng Peng spread out, saw a series of marks marked on it, and said, "You have a heart." ”

"Dashuai, Dongfang Zeng's, although there is a sailor, but it is only limited to the inland river, the boat is small and the scale is not large, and there is some power in the inland river, once it reaches the sea, it is completely a dish, it can be said that it is basically negligible, and the Xiao clan is located inland, although the army is strong, but the naval division is equal to zero, only the south, is our enemy, the king of Ning, the south, controls the coastal area, has three naval fleets in his hands, the scale is very large, the three naval divisions have a total of more than 100,000 troops, and it is the number one enemy of our Fuzhou naval division to control the sea power."

Li Qing pointed his finger at the sea chart and said: "Dengzhou, Linzhou, Bozhou, are stationed in the three water divisions of King Ning, especially the Dengzhou Water Division is the largest, and the combat power is also the strongest, the commander of the Dengzhou Water Division Pang Jun is a veteran of the Water Division, and the Water Division under his command has been in battle for a long time, and the bandits have been swept away in the area controlled by the Dengzhou Water Division. ”

Deng Peng nodded and said: "Yes, Pang Jun is a veteran of the water division, and the last general admires him very much." However, the Dengzhou Navy Division has a shortcoming, that is, there are not enough large warships of more than 5,000 materials, there are only two, and the others are all 3,000 warships, if they really want to fight, if the Fuzhou Navy Division is all out together, and the other two sailors do not participate, the final general will still be sure to defeat him. ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "You have confidence, but Deng Peng have you thought about it, our family is thin, but we can't withstand consumption, King Ning has been planning for many years, and the reserves are extremely abundant, and his warship is lost, and it can be replenished very quickly, and we are not so fast!" Therefore, if you don't fight with the Dengzhou Naval Division, if you really want to start a war, I want a complete victory. ”

Deng Peng frowned, "The veteran of the Pang Army, with rich experience in naval warfare, to be honest, I am not as good as him." If you want to win, the last general is not sure at all. ”

"So, we have to be extremely careful." Pointing to the map, Li Qing said: "Deng Peng, you see, the main goal of our Fuzhou Naval Division in the early stage was to support the Dongfang Zeng clan and drag the Lu clan into the quagmire of war, and from Fuzhou to the seaport controlled by the Zeng clan in the east, we almost had to bypass most of Dachu, and the long voyage of this was our first enemy." ”

"Therefore, the first step is to try our best to avoid a head-on battle with the Southern Naval Division, and to detour the open sea, although this will extend the voyage farther, but it is much safer, and in the process, we will find suitable islands in the open sea to build a base, and build a series of supply bases." Li Qing's hand drew a half-arc along the dark blue sea and said, "Through these distant sea island areas, the supply bases or military bases we have established will become a chain, quietly locking the southern naval division in the offshore area. ”

Deng Peng's eyes lit up, "Great handsome, these far-sea islands, most of the suitable bases are occupied by bandits, we can also let our sailors get great tempering by fighting these bandits, occupy these far-sea islands, establish military bases, so that our sailors can be given in time, and at the same time, through these bases, the southern sailors will continue to attack, and slowly grind them to death." ”

"Not bad!" Li Qingdao: "Let's call it a sea guerrilla warfare, not to engage in a large-scale frontal battle with the other side, but to look for fighters, seize the opportunity to bite them, as long as they can't find our main force, we can rely on the advantage of the ship's large speed and speed, one blow and leave, let them eat farts in the back!" If they divide their forces in pursuit, we can quickly mobilize superior forces and gather and annihilate them. This is called the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy retreating and we chasing, the enemy stationed in our troubles, and the enemy tired and fighting. ”

Deng Peng laughed, "Dashuai summed it up exquisitely, but when the time comes, it will depend on whether King Ning supplies quickly, or if we sink them too much." ”

Putting away the chart, Deng Peng looked at Li Qing with admiration, "Today, I will talk to the marshal, Deng Pengsheng has read the book of soldiers for ten years, with the marshal's plan, Deng Peng is now full of confidence, and he can't wait to set sail to sea and ride the wind and waves!" ”

Li Qingdao: "Soon, we are about to form an alliance with the Xiao family, after the alliance, according to the alliance, according to the alliance, we will send troops on land to contain part of King Ning's land forces, and at sea, you will take the initiative to attack, according to these distant islands, build island bases as soon as possible, reserve materials, remember, it must be done in secret, it is better to make more detours, not to clash with the other party too early, and wait until the Dongfang Zeng clan feels struggling in the war with the Lu clan, and then we will support him." ”

"Dashuai, what do you want?" Deng Peng was a little puzzled, "What if the Lu family is divided by two by three, what if the Zeng family is beaten?" ”

Li Qing shook his head, "How can it be so easy, the Zeng family must also be a century-old family, accumulated over the years, it will not fail so quickly, and we have sent them information, they are now actively preparing for war, and when they can't support it, it is because it is the icing on the cake, it is far better than sending charcoal in the snow, and besides, taking this opportunity, we can also get more things from them, especially the port of Shun'an that they control, which is what I want." ”

Deng Peng smiled, smiling like an old fox, "I understand what the handsome means." ”

Deng Peng, who has been in the officialdom for so long, of course thinks very clearly, Li Qing supports the Zeng family, but he doesn't want the Zeng family to become a new enemy of Dingzhou after defeating the Lu family, and completely defeat the Lu family on the eastern battlefield, and the Zeng family must also be greatly injured, so that the Dingzhou soldiers go out of the north and fight against the Lu family's territory, and even if the Dongfang Zeng family is wronged, he can only be a little brother after Dingzhou.

Li Qing's abacus played very shrewdly, at that time, Zeng's strength was greatly weakened, and under the pressure of both sides of the Dingzhou waterway, he could only surrender to Dingzhou, Li Qing and Xiao joined forces to defeat King Ning, and finally met with Xiao's soldiers, Xiao was almost surrounded by Dingzhou's sphere of influence on three sides, and this battle, Dingzhou Group had the upper hand.
