Qin Zitan didn't know what the Metropolitan Governor had to ask him and the second prince alone, so he stood up first and sent Wen Chengyun, Deng and the others away, and then changed a pavilion with Luwenzhuang to talk

"Flying Tiger, the Eastern Zhejiang Navy Division will fight, can there be a fifty percent chance of winning?" After the maid brought the refreshments, he asked.

"Even if you have a 50% chance of winning, you shouldn't risk it." Luxury Feihu has been sitting on the cold bench for two years, but he is much calmer than before.

Qin Zitan listened to the meaning of the metropolitan governor, if there was a fifty percent chance of winning, it seemed that he would take a risk.

I can't guess the mind of the Metropolitan Governor, it is said that the Metropolitan Governor should not support the Eastern Zhejiang Naval Division to take risks, but it is not a good thing that Jin'an is so passive.

There are so many stakes to weigh that sometimes we can't even just consider military issues. Although Zhejiang and Fujian pushed the luxury family as the leader, the power of the other seven families was not necessarily weaker than the luxury family, Qin Zitan thought to himself: This is not a good thing.

Luxury Wenzhuang sighed slightly: "What Zhejiang and Fujian are doing is against the trend, if you can't enter, you have to retreat a thousand steps and can't stop," and asked Qin Zitan, "What does Zitan think?" ”

Qin Zitan used to only feel that the authority of the Metropolitan Governor was in his hands, and the scenery was infinite, but at this time, he could somewhat understand his difficulties, and the anti-epidemic boat he said was probably the biggest difference between him and Song Fu.

Dongmin is located in a corner, speaking of which is the most unfavorable to compete for the world, luxury Wenzhuang is also a literary and martial arts, dominating the world, in order to open such a situation for Dongmin, but first met Li Zhuo, and then met Lin Bin, somewhat unlucky.

The ten-year strategy was blocked by Li Zhuo, and the elite of Fujian could only retreat below the middle reaches of the Minjiang River, and finally broke up Li Zhuo's lineage, but was frustrated by the forest. Two years ago, in the battles of the East China Sea, if they could not lose, the elite of Zhejiang and Fujian were only afraid that they were already in Jiangning City, and at least they could make a situation of dividing the river and ruling it.

Maybe the Metropolitan Governor doesn't think that the second prince has to bear much responsibility for the defeat of the East China Sea Wars, but the defeat of the East China Sea battles has a great impact on the entire situation, and the Metropolitan Governor will kick the second prince aside whether he wants to give an explanation to the eldest prince or the other seven surnamed forces.

Qin Zitan couldn't help but wonder if the East China Sea Zhu was defeated two years ago, how the situation would develop - first of all, the defense lines of Pingjiang Mansion and Hailing Mansion would be beaten to pieces, and Dong Yuan would not dare to trade and lead his troops south into Hangzhou. Meng Yishan may lead the remnants of Ninghai Town to retreat across Danyang Mansion, and Yue Lengqiu can only transfer the Huai army to cross the river in a hurry. Defeat the Changhuai army, Jiangdong County can only defend the isolated city of Jiangning, and the Yuan clan hastily transfers Li Zhuo south, and the Donghu people will take advantage of the weakness to enter......

The world is falling apart, and it is certain that the luxury family will occupy the land south of the Yangtze River!

However, the facts are not conceivable, the East China Sea battles were frustrated by Huaidong, so that the Yuan clan had enough buffer time to establish a solid defense line on the north bank of the Qianjiang River, and the luxury family was forced to slow down and had to digest the southern Zhejiang provinces and counties first.

The past cannot be chased, Qin Zitan lowered his head slightly, and could feel that the eyes of the Metropolitan Governor fell on him, which made him feel the pressure doubled, there were some things he didn't want to say, the Metropolitan Governor should understand in his heart, but at this time, he asked him to say, why?

After thinking for a long time, Qin Zitan spoke: "Although the eastern front is difficult, as long as the eldest prince first attacks Jiangxi or southern Huinan from the western front, the situation will not be so passive!" ”

"It's best if the Changle Army can enter Jiangxi," said Haowenzhuang, "If the Changle Army can't enter Jiangxi, the situation on both sides will just be leveled again!" ”

Qin Zitan thought carefully in his heart: Luo Xiancheng led his troops to the south, which would disrupt the deployment of Jiangdong County on the southern front, but as soon as Jin An made peace with Huaidong, it was inevitable that there would be some lack of edge on the western front, and it was really difficult to judge who was superior and who was inferior! Moreover, Huaidong rushed first, and had already taken the first step to hit the morale of this side.

Hao Wenzhuang continued: "Lin Jian should have expected the Changle Army's southward movement, which is why there will be such a decisive attack - Song Gong once said that this son should be among the two or three people in the world, I didn't pay enough attention to it, and it was a little late to regret it!" ”

Qin Zitan was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Hao Feihu, he didn't know that Song Fu, who was sick in Quanzhou, had such a high evaluation of Lin Lian.

Extravagant Feihu's face was extremely ugly, Song Fu was his father-in-law, Song Jia was trapped in Chongzhou and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he remarried Song Fu's little daughter, and had given birth to a son.

Besides, how could Song Fu understand Lin Jian more deeply than them? Thinking of this, Qin Zitan was already a little afraid to think about it.

Qin Zitan also realized at this time that in the eyes of the Metropolitan Governor, Song Gong and others, a mere woman is as insignificant as an ant in the face of the world's hegemony, and perhaps in the eyes of the Metropolitan Governor, the second prince is not indispensable.

The atmosphere was a little dull, afraid that the extravagant flying tiger would be too embarrassing, Qin Zitan said stubbornly: "The heroes are competing for the Central Plains, but Huaidong is almost desperate to develop maritime power. In the battle of Huaisi, Lin Jian actually had a better chance, and he didn't use it...... In comparison, the strength of the Zhejiang and Fujian Naval Divisions has hardly increased substantially in the past two years. ”

Hao Wenzhuang nodded, he knew what Qin Zitan meant when he said that Lin Tie had a better chance during the Huaisi War.

Zhejiang and Fujian also discussed at that time that when Liu An'er besieged Xuzhou, Lin Jian could wait for Yue Lengqiu and Changhuai's army to be annihilated in Xuzhou, and then concentrate all his forces to unite with the Dongyang army to go north.

Lin Tie united with the Dongyang Army, and the elite generals who could be used in his hands exceeded 30,000, and it would not be a problem to defeat Liu An'er, even if he could not defeat Liu An'er, Jiangdong County could only rely on him, and the Jinhai Grain Road and the salt and silver grain protection provided Lin Tie with sufficient money and political double guarantee - Lin Tie controlled the whole Jianghuai region in the first battle, which was not a problem at all.

In other ambitious heroes, they will never give up this opportunity.

However, Lin Jian did not seize that opportunity, and after the end of the Huaisi War, he was even restrained by Liu Tingzhou, Liu Shidu and others in Huaidong.

After the Huaisi War, what did Lin Jian do in Huaidong?

Just as Qin Zitan said, Huaidong is almost desperate to focus on the development of maritime power.

At this time, seeing Huaidong repairing and defending the seawall, perhaps Lin Jian was more interested in establishing a defense system along the coast of Huaidong, and he even did not hesitate to personally lead his troops to Haidong to fight with the Koreans.

In comparison, what is Zhejiang and Fujian doing?

Thinking of this, Qin Zitan strengthened his courage, looked up at the Metropolitan Governor, and said: "Although Zhejiang and Fujian have obtained shipbuilding craftsmen from eastern Zhejiang after occupying Mingzhou Mansion, their shipbuilding capacity has increased a lot. However, the newly increased shipbuilding capacity has built a lot of merchant ships for each family - of course, this is also inevitable, a large number of merchant ships, strengthen the connection between southern Zhejiang and southern Fujian, and help the metropolitan governor's office to strengthen its control over eastern and southern Zhejiang, but each family is satisfied with the existing sea ship type, and has no intention of investing a lot of resources to build larger, stronger, and faster sea ships, which widens the gap with Huaidong......"

"In Zitan's opinion, how big is the gap between us and Huaidong?" Hao Wenzhuang asked.

"The Koreans captured a Huaidong warship at the beginning of the year and did everything possible to transport it to Jin'an, but the shipyard did not agree to imitate this kind of warship until last month; It was also the second prince who ran to the shipyard and lost his temper, and the shipyard agreed to try to build a five-masted ship, "Qin Zitan has also suffered a lot of idleness with the luxury Feihu in the past two years, and he can't hold his mouth at this time, and he is a little presumptuous when he speaks, and said, "But Huaidong has built no less than thirty five-masted ships in the past two years, and has no less than forty five-masted ships. ”

Hao Feihu sat aside, his face was like a log, he didn't even dare to say some things in front of his father, but at this time, he let Qin Zitan say it for him.

In the past two years, he has been promoting the development of sea ships in Jin'an, but he is responsible for the defeat in the East China Sea, and he does not have much weight in Jin'an's speech, and more people are stammering around the boss Yu Feixiong, and even deliberately suppressing his voice.

Hao Wenzhuang looked solemn and said, "You continue to talk ......"

"In the past two years, Huaidong has even planned to dig up the shipbuilders in Jiangdong County with a lot of money, so that the Longjiang Shipyard under the Jiangning Ministry of Industry has lost the ability to build five-masted ships for a while," Qin Zitan said, "According to the news from the secret agents in the north, there was a super sea ship launched in the Huaidong Shipyard in late September, and the estimated load capacity is three or four times larger than the existing five-masted ship - the load capacity is only one aspect, and the structural strength of the sea ships on both sides is very different, and more importantly, The speed of the Huaidong sea ship is significantly better than that of the Jin'an ship. In addition to the gap in shipbuilding technology, in terms of the speed of seagoing ship construction, Huaidong can build six five-masted ships at the same time in four months, and Jin'an may only be able to compare with Huaidong in terms of the number of shipbuilding......"

"So, it's delusional to say that the Eastern Zhejiang Navy Division has a fifty percent chance of winning?" Luxury Bunso also feels that the problem is serious.

In the past two years, the establishment of the East Zhejiang Naval Division has been about 20,000 people, and the warships have been strengthened; The establishment of the Huaidong Naval Division is about 10,000 people, and there is no special increase - Qin Zitan knows in his heart that the gap between the strength of the naval divisions on the two sides has widened.

Qin Zitan glanced at the extravagant Feihu before he nodded and said, "Yes! What if the East Zhejiang Naval Division wins for a while? In naval battles, we should first look at the losses of warships, and secondly, the losses of soldiers. Even if the Huai'an Naval Division loses and the warship is damaged, Huaidong can make up for it in the shortest possible time - the biggest shortcoming of Zhejiang and Fujian is here......"

Hao Wenzhuang looked at his second son, Hao Feihu, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think so?" ”

"Yes," said Luxury Feihu, "It's good that the first battle of the Zhedong Naval Division was frustrated, but if it wins a small victory, it will be even more dangerous!" ”

This reason, Luwenzhuang naturally does not need to be taught by his son, and he was frustrated in the first battle, but he can firmly take the defense, and if he wins, he will covet a greater victory, and it is not that he can suppress it if he wants to.

Just like they wanted to use the advantage of their forces to consume Huaidong. As long as Huaidong's reserve forces are insufficient, the more Huaidong wins, the more empty the foundation will be, and there will be no place to bury him if he is defeated.

Now the situation is reversed, Huaidong's shipbuilding capacity is far stronger than this, and the more the East Zhejiang Navy Division wins, the more the foundation will be emptied, and there will be no chance to turn the capital in defeat.

At this time, Song Bo asked for a face-to-face meeting, and Hao Wenzhuang summoned him, and Song Bo said: "My father sent a letter from Quanzhou, asking the ministers to present the governor of Dadu ......"

Luxury Wenzhuang took the letter, opened the seal, and took out the letter inside to read. There are three big characters written on the letter, and Qin Zitan can see it clearly when he sits down: "Can't fight"!
