Chapter 634: The Commander and the Admiral
Huo Qubing led the Praetorian Guard Corps into the Lion City and took over the defense of Xingzhou County. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info specific defense and military operations, Ouyang Shuo did not intervene, and Huo Qu's ability to deal with the disease would naturally be dealt with properly.
Along with the Praetorian Guard arrived, there were also a thousand divine guards.
The ocean-going fleet, under the command of Zheng He, returned to the port of Xingzhou in the afternoon of the same day and began to patrol the surrounding waters. At the same time, two formations of the North Bay Fleet had also gone to Shanhai City, and they would teleport to the Lion City after a slight tilt.
It is to replenish the Shenwuwei again, and it is to replenish the water division.
Ouyang Shuo arranged it like this, obviously not preparing to stay in Xingzhou County for a long time. When Xingzhou County is on the right track, the ocean-going fleet will set off again. This voyage is of great significance to Shanhai City and cannot be interrupted.
The 1st and 2nd formations of the North Gulf Fleet, together constitute the ocean-going fleet. After the war, the ocean-going fleet was completely disabled, and only more than 10,000 people remained.
This time, it was the third and fourth formations that were transferred.
As a result, only the fifth formation remained stationed in the North Seaport. Ouyang Shuo immediately ordered Pei Donglai to return to Shanhai City, responsible for recruiting new soldiers and replenishing the North Bay Fleet in time.
Pei Donglai also became the first naval general to break away from the ocean-going fleet.
Of course, he will never be the last. That night, the fireworks demon was summoned by Ouyang Shuo.
"Prince!"
The fireworks demon hurried over, thinking that he was going to be reprimanded, and his expression was a little apprehensive.
In this national war, the policy formulated by the fireworks demon is generally good, but there is a deviation in the specific implementation. The culprit is none other than him, the tactician.
The Eastern Route Army led by Zheng He achieved far more than expected, and almost completely annihilated the Inhuman Legion on the first day. On the contrary, the middle route army led by the fireworks demon was a bit anticlimactic, not only did not fulfill its promise to successfully take the Lion City, but also dragged the entire fleet into the quagmire of land warfare, suffering heavy losses.
The first performance of the fireworks demon can be described as a complete performance. Fortunately, in the end, he finally won, otherwise, the fireworks demon would have to commit suicide and apologize.
That's why the pyrotechnic demon is now under tremendous pressure.
In fact, it's the fireworks demon who thinks too much. Whether it is Ouyang Shuo or Zheng He, the governor of the Nanyang Naval Division, there is no harsh criticism of the fireworks demon. According to Zheng He's words, a sailor general is already gifted to be able to achieve such results on his first independent expedition.
This is by no means a compliment from Zheng He.
Think about it, all the historical generals in the territory, except for Huo Quzhi, who is an "outlier", who hasn't experienced countless war baptisms and countless setbacks before slowly growing up? !
Even Huo Quai, before leading the troops for the first time, he was personally trained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for several years. Therefore, there are no real genius generals in the army who are self-taught.
Not to mention historical generals, even aboriginal generals like Pei Donglai are all experienced in warfare. On the other hand, the fireworks demon is all based on his personal talent, and he is crawling and rolling among the sailors. is full of calculations, and the time for the fireworks demon to enter the water division is less than a year.
In just one year, with such courage and insight, what more could you ask for?!
With such potential and high growth, isn't that what Ouyang Shuo values most about fireworks and demons?!
Therefore, this national war is undoubtedly an excellent baptism for fireworks demons. What Ouyang Shuo hopes to see is that this general grows and transforms in the baptism of war, and by no means despairs.
"Xingzhou County is surrounded by the sea, and if you want to defend it, Ben Hou thinks that it is imperative to form a strong sailor." Ouyang Shuo glanced at the fireworks demon gently, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”
The fireworks demon was obviously stunned, and the words of the prince were completely different from what he imagined. Fortunately, the psychological quality of the fireworks demon is excellent, otherwise he would not have dared to smash the enemy Huanglong on the first expedition.
After thinking for a moment, the fireworks demon replied, "The last general thinks the same way. The strategic location of the Strait of Malacca is so important that without a strong naval escort, maritime trade would not be possible at all. ”
Ouyang Shuo smiled when he heard this.
The advantages of fireworks and demons as players are reflected at once. Obviously, he had seen through Ouyang Shuo's real strategic purpose of taking the Star Kingdom, and used this as a starting point to analyze the problem.
Such strategic thinking, even Zheng He, does not have it now.
In this way, Ouyang Shuo strengthened his determination even more, and said lightly: "That's right. Ben Hou discussed with Zheng Dudu and prepared to set up a fourth fleet under the Nanyang Naval Division, stationed in Xingzhou County. The name of the fleet is called the Sin Chew Fleet. ”
"Marquis Shengming!" The Pyrotechnic Demon's heart jumped, and his intuition told him that the purpose of the prince's conversation with him was to discuss the formation of the Sin Continent fleet.
Sure enough, Ouyang Shuo continued: "The third and fourth formations of the North Bay Fleet have been teleported to the Lion City. The new ocean-going fleet will be reduced to one formation with 10,000 old soldiers as the core. The remaining 30,000 sailors will be the skeleton of the formation of the Xingzhou fleet. ”
The downsizing of the ocean-going fleet was part of Zheng He's grand navigation plan, and it was by no means a temporary idea. Because after the fleet leaves the Strait of Malacca, it will be more difficult to obtain supplies.
The fleet, which has always been too large, is absolutely unable to support the English Channel at present.
"In addition, there will be a large number of skilled personnel sent to the Lion City tomorrow to build a large shipyard and supporting steel mill in Sin Chau Port. In this way, there are soldiers and warships. The entire Xingzhou fleet is short of an admiral, and Governor Zheng recommended you to Benhou, do you have confidence? Ouyang Shuo stared at the fireworks demon.
When the fireworks demon heard this, his mood was extremely complicated. He never imagined that not only was he not punished for losing this battle, but he even surpassed Cai Mao, Pei Donglai and other veterans in one fell swoop and was promoted to admiral in advance.
said that it was recommended by Zheng He, but in fact it was a prince's weight.
Such a blessing is beyond any words. Thinking of this, the fireworks demon knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "The king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay the countryman!" ”
"So, Ben Hou will wait and see." Ouyang Shuo nodded.
One of the most legendary and peerless generals in the history of Shanhai City Sailor has taken a key step so far, thus starting his magnificent legendary life.
The trust between this pair of generals has also been passed down as a good story in later generations.
************
With a large army in charge, Ouyang Shuo will be able to sort out Xingzhou County in a big way.
On April 23, the day after the end of the national war, the officials and technical personnel sent by the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate were successively sent to the Lion City, and began to reorganize Xingzhou County according to the structure of Shanhai City.
According to the game's premise, the aborigines will not have too strong national honor. Once occupied, the people of the country will essentially be half a good people, and will submit to the power and the new ruler.
As for the biggest unstable factor, the player base, it has completely disappeared.
Therefore, there will not be too many obstacles for Shanhai City to govern Xingzhou County. On the contrary, it is necessary to face external pressure, that is, ASEAN.
Ouyang Shuo's preferred candidate for the county governor of Xingzhou must be both civil and military, able to govern the territory, and have an international vision, and be able to fight in the siege of ASEAN.
Among the county guards and directors, Ouyang Shuo circled Pei Ju.
A historical exploit such as Pei Ju's pacification of Lingnan, the crusade against the Turks, and the strategy of the Western Regions are enough to prove that this is a famous minister with both civil and military skills. In particular, there are similarities between the Western Regions and the predicament faced by Xingzhou County.
Second, Pei Ju is the only one among the county guards who does not serve in the governing territory. Guilin County is still under the control of the Northern Sichuan Province and the Southern Shonan Province. Pei Ju, the county guard of Guilin County, could only stand pitifully in the withered fortress, mixing with the leopard Tao army all day long, which was very desolate.
The construction of the withered fortress has long been completed, but the subjugation of Guilin County is far away.
Ouyang Shuo naturally couldn't bear to leave such a capable minister idle. As for the future subjugation of Guilin County, choose another county guard.
Pei Ju had already received an edict to rush over from the withered fortress, even if it was through the post station, it would take three or four days. During this time, as soon as Xingzhou County responded to government affairs, Ouyang Shuo personally handled it.
In addition to the army, officials, and technical personnel, there are also four secret forces that have been teleported to the Lion City. They are the special advance teams of Shanhaiwei, Black Snake Guard, Military Intelligence Department, and Honglu Temple.
The four contingents will quietly entrench themselves in the Lion City, setting up their own intelligence stations, yet quietly carrying out their work. The most special of these is the Black Snake Guard, which is led by the leader Black Snake himself.
Earlier, when adjusting the three major intelligence agencies, Ouyang Shuo stipulated that the Black Snake Guard would shoulder the heavy responsibility of collecting overseas intelligence. Using Xingzhou County as a springboard to radiate ASEAN countries is undoubtedly an excellent breakthrough.
It was precisely because of this that the Black Snake personally rushed to preside over the work.
In this way, in less than two days, more than 120,000 people were teleported from Shanhai City, and the teleportation cost alone consumed 120,000 gold coins.
Of course, it's all worth it.
……
The Lion City, the royal palace.
The magnificent palace, Ouyang Shuo was reluctant to tear it down, and directly ordered someone to transform it into the county guard mansion of Xingzhou County, and Ouyang Shuo temporarily lived in a palace in the mansion.
"Qi Yu Prince, the inventory of the treasury has been roughly completed, please take a look." Lang Bai Nanpu, the secretary who was specially transferred by Ouyang Shuo, handed over a list.
Ouyang Shuo took a look, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger.
Occupying a country is naturally not only about land and population, but also about huge wealth that makes people feel excited. The most important thing is, of course, the treasury located in the royal palace.
According to preliminary statistics, the state treasury totaled more than 1.7 million gold coins, more than 20 boxes of jewelry, more than 10,000 sets of Praetorian Guard armor, and ordinary military supplies such as spears and arrows.
The total value shall not be less than four million gold coins.
In this way, all the losses of Shanhai City can be compensated, and even a lot of money. The transmission costs previously incurred are not worth mentioning.
