The training of the Dagukou Navy is proceeding in an orderly manner. In addition to participating in the adaptation of the former pirate elites into the original garrison system, Zhu Qi then placed some middle-level officers who had undergone new training methods and were mainly excellent in ideological work in the garrison camp.

After all, the pirates have been thieves for more than ten years. Although they were the rebellion of the Yuan Dynasty, ideological work must be done. An army’s discipline is naturally the most important. However, no matter how good the discipline is, if the army does not obey your command, it will be useless to sit on its butt.

Therefore, the military's thoughts must not have any problems, and this is true in any era.

It’s just that in ancient times, no one would deliberately pay attention to this.

The adaptation progress is very fast and the effect is very good. Including the pirates, plus the original Dagukou Navy, the number of naval troops now has nearly 10,000. Moreover, because of these thousand veterans, the training level of the Navy Navy is constantly improving. Veterans lead new soldiers, which is a rapid strengthening of the army in modern times and an important measure for the adaptation of prisoners.

In addition, the naval commanders in the garrison have been training for a while, and now they have replenished elites. With these elites, Wang Chuanqi has made great progress after only one month of being responsible for naval commanders.

Even Wang Chuanqi took the initiative to ask Zhu Qi for the battle, saying that the turtle ship on hand, the current large and small ships, nearly 10,000 well-trained seafarers and sailors, hitting him in Pingzhang, Liaoyang, Liu Yi's naval force, which was really a hammer!

Liu Bowen also followed the side to agree, saying that he had a great chance of winning now. Taking advantage of the news of the new warship that no one knew about it, he should strike as soon as possible, seek a decisive battle between the navy, and decide the situation in the Bohai Sea in one fell swoop!

This naval battle is not like a land battle. Naval battle mainly involves ship equipment and sailors' control level, and does not have much requirement for the sailor's individual combat capabilities.

Moreover, once the naval battle starts, it will really be a battle to determine the world. After all, all the ships are gone, but they will completely lose their combat effectiveness. You can't make a small boat to go out to sea to fight with others, right?

This is the difference between naval battles and rivers, lakes and lakes. If you don’t need ships, you may even be able to fight with cannons on the shore. If you really need ships, you will need ships.

This is why during World War II, there was a fleet theory and tactic of avoiding wars and protecting ships. This is why. No matter how strong the enemy navy is, as long as our navy maintains combat effectiveness, it can play a deterrent role to the greatest extent.

Of course, this tactic is generally used by the weaker side. If you have strong strength, who will avoid war and protect the ship with you? You always take the initiative to seek annihilation of the enemy's main fleet in one fell swoop, and then fish and bask in the sun at the door of your port.

Wang Chuanqi and Liu Bowen both said this, and Zhu Qi was worried and asked Li Jinglong again. Li Jinglong hesitated and said:

"Your Highness, although our army has new warships, the navy has been trained recently, and these pirates have just surrendered. I suggest that we should be more conservative. The large fleet is to stick to the port and send small groups of fast ships to transport supplies."

Zhu Qi was relieved when he heard Li Jinglong say this.

The fighter plane has arrived!

But how to lure Liu Yi's navy out to fight to the final battle? This is a difficult problem.

While Zhu Qi was thinking about it, Liu Bowen said with a smile:

"Why should your highness worry? Wait for me to make a little trick..."

……………………

Liu Yi, Pingzhang of Liaoyang, was a middle-aged man with a big belly. There were not many records of him in history books. Just a few words said that he was the chief executive of Liaoyang Province, that is, the separatist warlords, and had a navy fleet under his command.

But no matter what, Liu Yi definitely doesn't understand what the theory of existence fleet is, and he doesn't understand the tactics of avoiding war and protecting ships. In fact, Liu Yi is very arrogant in his heart now.

Next to him is the 200,000 string control men from Naha. Liu Yi is in Liaoyang again, close to the seaside, far away from the Ming army. Even if the Ming army really comes, he will board the ship and go out to sea directly, what will the Ming army do to him?

Liu Yi knew about the Ming army's navy, but they had only captured the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for the past two years. The navy that was temporarily formed was really not very good, not to mention the ships. Liu Yi's ships had hundreds of large ships, twice the size of the Ming army's navy!

Not to mention, there is also the help of the Goryeo Navy. Although the Goryeo Navy's quality is not very good, with only twenty or thirty large ships, but I can have 130 large ships together with Goryeo. What can I lose? The winner is sure.

At this time, Liu Yi did not know that the Ming army was using sea routes to transport supplies to the tribes that resisted Naha, but recently he also received news that some Ming army ships were frequently dispatched.

Liu Yi's dog-headed military advisor helped him analyze:

"Sir, this must be the Ming army spying on the movements of our army. What does it mean? It means that the Ming army is afraid of our army's power! You can rest assured in Liaoyang!"

Liu Yi felt that what the Dog-headed Military Advisor said was very reasonable. As for what he said, he would take the initiative to attack, seek a decisive battle, and win military achievements.

Although the Northern Yuan court had a little advantage and Wang Baobao gained a firm foothold in the Northern Yuan through the Battle of Lingbei, the current Northern Yuan Emperor was already the son of Emperor Shun of Yuan, Ayushiridala, which was called Yuan Zhaozong in later generations.

Although Ayor Shilidala, like his father Emperor Shun of Yuan, had the ambition to revitalize the Yuan Dynasty and re-enter the Central Plains, was ambitious and ambition to ascend the throne. After all, he was too young.

There seemed to be some abnormal movement within the Northern Yuan court again, but Liu Yi was not sure about the specific situation. Anyway, he was now seizing Liaoyang, and he was just a warlord who was not in charge. Relying on the people of Liaoyang, he lived like a local emperor, and was envious of all the gods.

Anyway, as long as my army and navy are still there, the Yuan Dynasty court will definitely use it, and they will not dare to touch it. They will also give themselves money, food and supplies every year. After all, I am guarding the Yuan Dynasty!

Of course, if there is a good opportunity to easily defeat the Ming army and capture the Ming army's warship sailors, that would be excellent.

And such an opportunity was soon delivered to him.

This is one day in August of the eighth year of Hongwu. The weather is clear and the sea is clear and the river is calm. The weather is getting cooler. After all, Liaoyang is in the north, and it is not as clear as the south. After summer, it will be winter.

Liu Yi was wearing a fur coat and sat on a chair listening to the song. There was a beautiful girl kneeling on the ground to help him pinch his thighs. At this time, a soldier rushed over outside, saying that he was the second and third boss under Wang Chuanqi, and sent a secret letter!

The second and third leaders under Wang Chuanqi?

Liu Yi was stunned. Of course, Wang Chuanqi knew that this guy was a pirate dice on the Bohai Sea. He called himself a descendant of Wang Jian. He led a group of unruly pirates and plundered the official ships and merchant ships of the Yuan Dynasty every day. Can the Yuan Dynasty bypass him?

Not to mention that many merchant ships are all from Liu Yi himself. He suffered heavy losses for this. If you want to catch him, you can't catch him. There are many islands on the Bohai Sea, and there are more islands than close to Goryeo.

The ships of this legendary king did not have large ships, all of which were small and medium-sized fast ships. When he saw a large number of sea boats coming from a distance, he immediately fled and found an island to hide. It was really just a needle in a haystack. He could not be found anywhere.

However, I heard two days ago that this king's legend and His Highness, the inevitably Ming Dynasty, have been hiding with His Highness Liao, and have now surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

This news is definitely not good news for Liu Yi. This king's legend is still a bit powerful. The Liao King heard that he is also a genius, using troops like a god and elusive.

I only heard two days ago that Nahachu was tricked by him. The Ming army attacked everywhere, and one victory here and another victory there. I can't figure out which one is true or false. Anyway, all the news came out of great victory.

Liu Yi was still very upset about this. He ate two more bowls of rice that night and called an extra concubine to accompany him to sleep when he was sleeping so that he could sleep peacefully.

He accepted the letter and thought to himself that it would be a letter of persuasion, right? He opened it and saw it and was immediately happy.

The letters are not about persuading surrender, but about surrender!

It is said that since he was surrendered by the Ming Dynasty, only Wang Chuanqi has been promoted and rich, and the rest of the people have nothing to drink with the soup.

And he didn't even rob the money, and the money he had was less, and women could not play casually. How could they bear it?

The most important thing is that His Highness the King of Liao did not trust them and separated their troops, making them a veritable commander with bare hands. It was tolerant, but grandpa could not bear it anymore!

The second and third leaders are here to surrender.

Not only did he surrender, but he even brought a letter of vote.

Let’s talk about the little boy, the King of Liao, who was strong outside and had a strong man at the same time. Including the legendary navy of Wang, there were fifty big ships, and the remaining small and medium-sized boats were less than 100. Although there were 10,000 sailors, except for their 1,000 elite pirates, the rest of the people went out to sea to fight at a few times. At most, they were just a mob organized by a group of fishermen and had no combat power at all.

Then there was a self-proclaimed wave of his own pirate elites.

After the blowing, the letter said that the Liao king of the Ming Dynasty would lead the navy to sea in the near future and transport a batch of supplies from the sea to the tribe leaders to support them to continue fighting with Naha to the end. This batch of supplies is very rich.

In addition to a large number of weapons and armor, there are also gold, silver, jewelry, and food for inspiration...

The following articles are all about these shipped things, and they are written in extremely detailed ones.

Seeing this, Liu Yi, who was originally lying, couldn't help but stretch out his fat body, and then his eyes shone.

In the end, the second and third leaders told them to act as a spy for Liu Yi and report the movements of the Ming army's naval army to Liu Yi at all times, so that Liu Yi could seize the opportunity, intercept this batch of supplies, and then defeat the Ming Dynasty navy. If he was lucky enough, he could also capture the Liao king of the Ming Dynasty as a prisoner!

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's son. Liu Yi was moved at once. He held the King of Liao in his hand and had more bargaining chips in the future. The Northern Yuan could exchange for glory and wealth. Even if the Northern Yuan was not good in the future, he could also exchange for glory and wealth!

Of course, what moved Liu Yi the most was the large number of supplies! This is a real immediate benefit. If you can get it, there is no need to say more. That little life will be so comfortable!

But Liu Yi felt that he could not be too impulsive and had to ask the military advisors for his opinion. Those wise kings from ancient times to the present have always listened to both sides and listened to each other, and they would be secret. They should learn from them.

Liu Yi quickly called the Dog-headed Military Advisor and showed the letter to the Dog-headed Military Advisor. The Dog-headed Military Advisor was stunned at first, and then looked at some key data, which was indeed the same as what he knew.

Besides, how good can the surrendered official army be expected to be treated like this? After the troops were disbanded, they were not allowed to be meat from mermaids. So, he calculated his fingers, flipped his eyes straight, and then said happily:

"Congratulations, congratulations! This is a God-given opportunity. The villain just realized that with these second and third leaders as internal supporters, the Ming Navy fleet must be our own pocket. With this batch of supplies, we will step up recruiting troops, so why worry about major issues!"

"Ah? A big deal?"

Liu Yi was stunned at first, then he seemed to have a clue, and then he heard the dog-headed military advisor whisper in a serious expression:

"In the past, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan could dominate the world by three parts. Now, Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Baobao can dominate the world by three parts!"

What a good guy, otherwise he would be a dog-headed military advisor, and he would go straight to the world.

Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not published or became popular these days, the history of the Three Kingdoms was still well-known in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Just like the common people know the stories of Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan were also historical celebrities, and the history of the Three Kingdoms was also common to storytellers.

Otherwise, how could the people in the Hongwu period be able to say the proverb "Three parts of the world, and unify the mountains and rivers"?

When Liu Yi heard the dog-headed military advisor say this, he was even happier. Ping Zhang, who didn't want to be the emperor, was not a good warlord! If he really had such an opportunity, he would definitely have to seize it. If he became the emperor in the future, he would be very powerful!

Liu Yi was so happy that he quickly sent a reply according to the method mentioned in the letter, saying that he was to the second and third leaders all had official positions. In addition to them, those who were willing to follow the supporters would be rewarded.

I didn’t say what rewards were given in detail. Anyway, it would be fine if one person had five taels of silver.

If these pirates really came to surrender, Liu Yi felt that he would treat them like the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it would be impossible to give them a chance to rebel again in the future. It would be wonderful to arrest the second and third leaders and all the soldiers were brought to him.

Without further ado, Liu Yi quickly became a pen pal with the second and third heads. He had more and more frequent letters. At first, he was very diligent in writing letters by himself. After writing two letters, he was too lazy to use his brain and asked the dog-headed military advisor to help write on his behalf.

Liu Yi didn't know that he was a dog-headed military advisor and Liu Bowen on the other side. Anyway, he didn't write both ends himself.

Soon, the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty decided the time and place to transport a large amount of supplies. Liu Yi received the news and immediately ordered the navy to go on the expedition. This time, he would have a big vote!

———————

At the end of August in the eighth year of Hongwu.

Li Xiaoliu stood at the bow of the boat. He has now changed from a captain to a captain.

In the Ming Dynasty, five people were one army, two army, three were teams, three were sentries, five were generals, and five generals were camps.

Li Xiaoliu was also in charge of No. 30 people. Although he was not very powerful, he was quite proud to see the officers and soldiers of the garrison chasing him and shouting "Captain Captain".

After a month of training, I finally got the task and went to sea to fight.

Because of his outstanding performance during training, Li Xiaoliu was assigned to a very rare new warship. This warship looked very strange. Unlike other ships with decks, the entire ship was wrapped, and it was covered with iron. It looked like a turtle retracted into a turtle shell.

The name is also very appropriate, it is called the Turtle Boat.

The journey depends entirely on paddling. When there is no combat mission, you will hang behind other big ships and drag it away.
