"The same is true for cavalry warfare, and the same is true for naval warfare, because the ocean is as wide as the grassland and has infinite depth. Therefore, once a large warship is dispatched, it must have a clear tactical purpose and a detailed battle plan, otherwise it will not only be in vain, but It may even break down and sink into the sand." Liu Haishan said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. What General Haishan said was extremely reasonable.
Whether it is a naval battle or a cavalry battle, it requires the right time, place, and people. But the right time, place, and people are objective conditions that are difficult to change in many cases, so the key to victory or defeat actually lies in people and people.
Careful combat plans, excellent commanders, well-trained soldiers, and courageous morale... all are indispensable.
Fighting is like this, and being a king is actually the same, and what Li Qiu wants to be is not just a king, but an emperor.
Everything he is doing now is to pave the way for inheriting Li Wanjiang's throne in the future. So far, he has done quite well.
Li Wanjiang obviously favored him between him and his two brothers. This was considered the 'right time'. He had basically established a foothold within a year after arriving here. This was considered the 'good location'.
After making friends with the three giants Xiao Chen, Gong Shouli, and Zhao Yu, and winning over Lin Dongyang, Lin Qi, Duan Qiyun, Zhang Heng, Lin Feixiong, and Li Fengdao... this can be regarded as taking advantage of 'Renhe'.
In particular, Xiao Chen's unwavering support benefited him the most.
The important thing about Xiao Chen is that not only does he have considerable influence within the court, he also owns the territory of three counties, a powerful navy and hundreds of thousands of elites outside...
As long as he can completely control Haining Bay with the Haining Navy, no matter what happens in the DPRK in the future, Yan Yunjun will be able to come quickly in a very short time and directly target Fengyang!
Of course, these are all worst-case scenarios. For now, Li Qiu still hopes to ascend to power in a gentler way.
But if we want to completely control Haining Bay, it is not enough to have the Haining Navy. The Haining Mansion must also be his. And the current prefect of Haining, Jiang Musheng, is Li Shi's man, and he is favored by the emperor. It is really difficult to get rid of him. not easy……
However, Xiao Chen was sleeping soundly that night. He dreamed that he was serving Liu Ruyun in the Chuxiu Palace and taking a bath. He was doing something and plotting something evil when he suddenly felt his neck was cold. When he looked back hurriedly, he woke up from his dream and opened his eyes. But he saw Ling'er putting her cold hands into his bed...
"It's best if the sky falls!" Xiao Chen said angrily, "Otherwise, you little girl won't be able to escape a meal of fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots today no matter what!"
"Don't worry, brother, the sky hasn't fallen." Ling'er said with a smile, "But the ground has sunk!"
"What kind of subsidence...huh?" Xiao Chen woke up instantly, "How did you find the treasure?"
"Hey, why else would I bother you in the middle of the night? Come on, come on, get dressed quickly. We just dug the entrance, and Sun Changshan didn't dare to move anymore. I have to ask you for permission tomorrow. Who can wait until tomorrow? "Anyway, Ling'er can't wait.
"Well, what's going on over there now? Are there any outsiders here?" Xiao Chen asked while getting dressed.
"No, they are all our own. We have been working at night these days, so no one paid attention." Ling'er said, "Brother, what did you dream about just now? Why are the tears dripping down?"
"It's spring, naturally all you have are spring dreams." But it was the fat man who wandered in.
"Fat brother, why aren't you asleep yet?" Ling'er asked.
"I went to bed originally, but when I heard some movement here, I came to take a look. Judging from the excitement on your face, did you find our father's treasure?" said the fat man.
Fatty lives next door to Xiao Chen. He always sleeps with one eye open and one ear open at night. He was alerted as soon as Ling'er entered Xiao Chen's door.
"Well." Ling'er said hurriedly, "It just so happens that you're awake, fat brother, otherwise I'd have to call you later."
"I don't believe your nonsense, little girl. You two brothers are so sneaky that you just want to monopolize our father's treasure. You need to let your brother live without me!" said the fat man.
While talking, Xiao Chen was already dressed. After coming out, Xiao Yu and others were standing and waiting in the courtyard, looking very excited, because Ling'er had been staying at the construction site of the Imperial Tomb these past few nights, and suddenly came back in the middle of the night. We've found a treasure!
"You guys don't want to go." Xiao Chen said, "The city gate is closed at this late hour, and we have to climb over the wall to get out. It's too big a target for you to follow."
In fact, they could have opened the city gate, but that would have caused too much alarm. After all, Xiao Chen's identity was extremely special, and it was easy for people to suspect that he was trying to escape at night...
The three brothers quietly came out of the secret passage in Xiao Chen's room, took advantage of the darkness to cross the city wall, and rushed all the way to the construction site. "Why are you here?" Yuan Ren has been waiting here for a long time.
"It came quickly enough, what's going on?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Who knows what's going on? They dug a bronze door. Changshan and the others refused to open it no matter what. They had to wait for you to come." Yuan Ren said.
As they talked, they went down underground and followed a secret passage secretly dug by Sun Changshan and the others. After walking for about a stick of incense, they saw two rusty copper doors with several inscriptions cast on them. A big character, "No one who is not a descendant of my great Han Zhu family can enter without permission." "Are there any traps here?" Xiao Chen said.
"Nonsense!" Yuan Ren said, "This is a treasure house, not a tomb. The people who have been found are the descendants of your Zhu family. What kind of traps can be set up?"
"But is it that easy?" When the matter came to a close, Xiao Chen was still a little hesitant, feeling that it was too easy to find it?
"It's not easy to find the treasure map. Isn't it easy to find the treasure? Let them open the door quickly, there is so much nonsense!" Yuan Ren couldn't wait.
The seemingly heavy copper door was actually not very heavy, and no tools were needed. Sun Changshan and a dozen brothers pushed it open without much effort. When the torch was illuminated, it suddenly became clear.
As expected, there were no traps inside. There were countless large iron boxes stacked on both sides, filling up the not-too-large space...
Opening the iron box on the left, I saw dozens of large, dark, oxidized silver pumpkins inside, each weighing a thousand kilograms. Opening the iron box on the right, I found that the large pumpkins inside were smaller, but they were all Made of pure gold!
"My God, there aren't even a thousand boxes here? How much money will it cost?" Ling'er was shocked, "How can it be tens of millions of taels?"
"Don't forget there is gold." The fat man's eyes widened. He felt that his dream of getting rich since he was a child had now come true, but he didn't feel too happy.
I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I don’t know what it feels like?
"Haha, no wonder the Han Dynasty will perish. All the gold and silver in the world are buried here." Yuan Ren sneered.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" As a grown-up son, Ling'er couldn't bear to hear such words that slandered the late emperor, mainly because he was afraid that his brother wouldn't like to hear it.
Looking back at Xiao Chen, I saw Xiao Chen silently looking at the gold and silver, with no joy on his face...
