On the Yu Huang ship, Shu Guitian looked at the approaching Fujian Central Port, which was gradually approaching. The captain next to him walked to him and took a picture of his woolen uniform that was afraid of him and said, "Look, is it better to look at the military uniform?"

The implication is that he is somewhat moved by the fact that he can only wear a military uniform without a collar seal after retirement.

The two are classmates. When Shu Guitian was studying at Xiliu Shui Normal School, he also participated in the auxiliary survey work of land reform in Qi State. He is considered an old acquaintance.

However, the captain's military rank was one level lower than that of Shu Guitian, and was just a lieutenant colonel. Shu Guitian was considered a special service after re-recruitment. The merits and fame he had earned before were exchanged for his life were therefore directly given a colonel's temporary military rank.

Shu Guitian pointed to his lord and said, "I am actually a staff officer. I can sail, but I can't fight, I have never fought... This time I just asked me to organize a merchant ship sailing, and I have to rely on you to fight."

This time, there were many ships recruited, including generals in the South China Sea and Fujian County, but these naval generals would fight and organize, but such long-distance merchant ships were not as good as returning to the field.

The Mo family only had the Zhou army and no navy, because there were no enemies overseas, and potential enemies could only fight inland rivers and coastal water wars.

On the other hand, although Shu Guitian fought for life before, he fought with nature, but not with people. Wherever he sailed, he mainly explored the route and found landmarks. He had never seen an enemy who could fight at sea. Instead, he occasionally had conflicts with local indigenous people on land.

In his words, he, a navy colonel, could actually be a downfall colonel of the army. If he really entered the navy, he would probably be a navigator.

It took him three years before, dozens of his comrades died, and finally found a route to the Gold, Silver and Copper Island, and became famous.

Then he taught himself astronomy and deeper nine numbers and geometry, and learned to draw sea maps. In recent years, he has been wandering around the south. The sailors around him have changed batch after batch, but he has been safe and sound, which is a miracle.

This time, just after returning from sea, he received an order to re-service recruitment. It was a time when people were short of people. He directly gave him the rank of colonel and asked him to transport supplies from merchant ships this time, and he might have to transport special navigators from the army's fleet.

My classmates from the past joked: "You can't fight, I can't sail. But I still hope not to fight. These sailors on merchant ships are okay to fight land wars, but I'm really worried about water wars."

Shu Guitian smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't fight. As long as the Yue people are not stupid, they will definitely put all the useful navy on the Yangtze River. Once the Yangtze River is defeated, there is no danger to defend. How can they be our opponents in Land War? Along the way, you will not see a Yue people's ship."

"The Yue people's boat masters are just like you. They are okay in the vast rivers near the sea and sail far away... They neither know the route nor use the sextant compass, nor will they encounter it."

This statement is quite a bit high-level, but it really comes true.

When the fleet concentrated in central Fujian arrived at the "Shooting Yan Fighting City" at the mouth of the river, it was really unscathed and could not see a single Yue person.

This city of Shooting Yan Xiaoxiao belongs to Haiyang County and originates from the allusion of the ugly Doctor Jia shooting pheasant and fighting his wife.

At this time, Chongming Island did not even have shadows. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the first wisp of Chongming Island would have been there. Later generations of Nantong, the Shooting Yan Xiaocheng, was also the place closest to the sea on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

At this time, this place was already a scene of thousands of sails.

Because of the existence of Hangou, the main forces of the Mohist army should be concentrated near Guangling, but the main forces of the navy were concentrated near the mouth of Haiyang River, which made the Yue people very nervous.

It is obvious that the Mohist family planned to defeat the Yue Kingdom's naval battle and take advantage of the naval power to attack Wu and Kuaiji, the foundation of Yue Kingdom. Therefore, this water battle became a battle that seemed to be related to the life and death of Yue Kingdom.

In this battle, the Mo family's navy was full of people. In addition to leaving behind a navy army that ensured alignment advantage, all Xi Liuzhou troops were concentrated in Haiyang.

This is the foundation of the Mohist family after occupying Si Shang for more than 30 years. There were 17 large-scale improved building ships like the Yuhuang, more than 130 small sailing warships, and other smaller arson ships, captive ships, and more.

There are six large tower ships in Yue Kingdom, and the rest are small ships. Judging from the paper and numbers alone, the Mohist school has great advantages.

The initiative is also in the hands of the Mohist family. Because the Yue Kingdom does not have a port full of copper cannons, the Yue Kingdom cannot shrink into the port and avoid it.

In fact, the ports covered with heavy copper cannons or heavy iron cannons are also unsupported by Yue State's financial resources at this time.

The remnants of the Wu nobles within the country became increasingly powerful. The tradition of "coup to king" left behind by the previous King of Yue was sucked in blood by the Mohist family for so many years, which made the Yue Kingdom able to maintain a naval army that seemed to be able to protect itself, and the army's strength was really unavailable.

The country of Yue could not avoid war, so it could only fight to the death.

The Mohist family also won the previous few small firefights.

There are many Zhou Masters from the Mohist family, which are very complicated.

The foundation was the elite city gate guards under Mo Zi back then. After the spear and musketeers became the army-style military system, these sword and shield soldiers basically went to Xi Liuzhou Army, and they were very good at fighting with each other on the side.

Later, the naval army of Yue, the boat army of Chu, the Greek water warfare of Solusan returning from the west, etc., and combined with the use of artillery, the naval army of the Mo family took a different path from Wu, Yue and Chu.

However, because of the war between inland rivers and offshore, sailing warships and tower ships are standard equipment based on material basics.

After Shu Guitian arrived in Haiyang, he was soon called to the command center.

The commander of this water battle was a Mo man from Yue. He also nominally served as the gentleman of Shu Guitian. Shu Guitian became famous in recent years and naturally knew him.

After sitting down, the coach said, "You can't let you fight this time, you have no complaints, are you?"

Shu Guitian hurriedly said, "What can I complain about? I really can't fight in the water. If I really want me to command a ship, I'm still afraid of causing the ship to be destroyed and people to die. Sometimes power is liked by people, but it may also kill myself. Although I like to fight for my life, I know what I am good at, but I won't do things I am not good at for fame."

When the marshal heard this, he smiled and said, "It's a bit like the Yang Zhu School. But since you are wearing a military uniform and have issued a conscript order, you still have to obey the command. Of course, you can't command blindly. You can only benefit the world if you use everything. Zi Mo Zi said, just like building a city. If you are good at carrying soil, you will carry soil. If you are good at ramming, you will ramming soil. This is the way to be a general. I, the marshal, still know this truth."

There are not many marshals in the Mo family army now. This person was also a famous person in the Qi River War. When he was fearless of death, Shu Guitian was still a student and was still measuring the land. In front of such people, he naturally restrained a lot.

As long as you receive the call, you must obey the order. Of course, you can disobey it as long as you are not caught, but you must obey it as long as you come.

Shu Guitian hurriedly asked, "I don't know what mission is there?"

The marshal took out a map, pointed to an island in the East Sea of ​​Kuaiji and said, "Do you know this place?"

In recent years, Shu Guitian has made up a lot of knowledge and his level of drawing has increased day by day. This kind of picture can be seen at a glance.

"This is Yongdong. After Goujian destroyed Wu, he planned to let Fuchai move to Yongdong and give him a hundred households to him, so he was a minister. Fuchai refused, so he went to a place where he was hanged."

Yongdong is also Zhoushan in later generations.

The marshal said: "It is Yongdong. It is opposite Kuaiji, and there are also some Yue people there, and there are not many people. The main reason is... You also know that once a war begins, there will be smugglers who will transport all kinds of intimidating goods into Kuaiji, which is extremely difficult to ban them."

"The second is to control the place, build a fortress, garrison several troops, and threaten Kuaiji City from time to time."

"Your mission is not to fight. It is mainly to choose the fortress building point and adjust ships from south to north to transport supplies. This time the ships allocated are from the Chamber of Commerce, and you can subdue the captains in it. You don't have to worry about the army's affairs."

"Then you pay attention to the changes in the wind and clouds. The army may find opportunities to go ashore to harass, or there may be the only remaining ships in Yue Kingdom to stop you. You just set the time to deal with small-scale wars."

"Sailing warships use paddlers more often, and the supply consumption is too high and they cannot be permanent. Therefore, the ships dispatched this time are all sailboats. There are also two sailboats equipped with artillery, and there are no paddlers. You are experienced on the sea outside the sea, so you can learn from you."

Shu Guitian stared at the location of Yongdong on the map, and understood that he was another "staff" position this time, probably to coordinate the merchant ship and sailing ship to set sailing supplies and other things. In addition, Yongdong is basically a deserted island, and he has rich experience on the deserted island, so he asked him to go.

But he felt a little strange and frowned undetectedly.

If the Mohist family was really completely destroyed by the King of Yue in the name of unjust punishment, in fact, as long as the battle of the Yangtze River estuary is won, it would be equivalent to the destruction of the Yue Kingdom.

He has been to Kuaiji City, and he has been to Wucheng, and he can't defend the attack of the Jie Xuan Army at all.

If the Mohist war at the estuary of the Yangtze River fails, then it will be difficult to achieve such a small amount of troops in Yongdong. After the Yue people seized the sea control power, they could quickly destroy Yongdong. Without support and logistics, there would be a dead place.

Then he thought of a terrible possibility... The Mohist family denounced the unjust country of Yue and was about to punish it, but after the war on the Yangtze River estuary ended, the Yue Kingdom might not be destroyed... Otherwise, there would be no need to harass the troops stationed in Ningdong.

The battle of the Yangtze River Estuary was won, the navy blocked the Yangtze River, and the army crossed the river, and the Yue Kingdom could not defend it at all. Why bother with this?

If it is not for the purpose of destroying Yue, what is it for? In any case, it cannot cost a huge starter, just to train soldiers, right?

However, he knew the rules of the army, so he didn't ask much. After receiving the order, he was sent to another camp.

He is not a military chief or a political chief. Such a re-recruitment is just a senior staff officer. The matter he should be responsible for will tell him that he will not be left behind if he has the right to veto.
