Yun Chao was still thinking about Tong Guan's belongings, but he didn't expect that his own belongings would have problems first.
Yun's Trading Company sent an urgent report that the ship purchased in Jiangnan was robbed by pirates on its way back!
Not only was more than half of the purchased ship robbed, but the sailors recruited and the goods transported on the ship were also turned into pirate trophies!
"How brave!"
Yun Chao stood up and said, "Come here, prepare your horses and go to Dengzhou!"
Before setting off, Yun Chao had someone send an order to the three rakemen in Dengzhou in advance to let the navy prepare. He would personally lead the navy south to destroy the pirates!
Someone persuaded Yun Chao that Yun Chao, as the commander-in-chief, should not do such things as annihilating pirates.
The son of a rich man cannot sit in court. As the supreme leader of the Yun Family Army, Yun Chao's every move involves the interests of the entire Yun Family Army.
Maritime combat is extremely dangerous. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable!
However, Yun Chao, who usually listens to persuasion, is like eating a weight this time, and no one can persuade him.
In all conscience, Yun Chao really didn't go out to hide from the little white rabbit.
He wanted to personally participate in a naval battle to see what naval combat was like.
As the leader of a force, Yun Chao knows very well that you cannot build things behind closed doors. No matter how proficient you are in theory, problems will sooner or later occur once you lose touch with practice.
Therefore, rather than taking risks, Yun Chao should conduct on-the-spot inspections in person to avoid making the mistake of making theory out of touch with reality.
The decline of many forces begins when those in power lose touch with reality.
Once those in power lose touch with reality and the masses, cannot hear the voices below, and cannot see the real situation, this force will inevitably go downhill until it is finally overthrown by other forces.
The Yun Family Army is now on the rise. Yun Chao must do as much as possible before his mind is fooled. He must not imitate Hong Xiuquan and start enjoying himself without restraint before he is good enough.
While riding his horse towards Dengzhou, Yun Chao wondered when the railway would be built. How much time would be saved with the train!
No, after coming back this time, we must continue to promote the research and development of steam engines, strive to manufacture qualified steam engines as soon as possible, and realize steamization as soon as possible!
…
The territory of the Yun Family Army is now very peaceful. Yun Chao ran all the way without encountering a single bandit road bully.
There were still about ten miles away from Dengzhou Port, and San Haozi came with a group of naval generals to greet him.
Yun Chao didn't even give the generals a chance to speak: "Are you all ready?"
The three rakes stood at attention: "Report to the commander-in-chief that all officers and soldiers of the navy are ready. Please review by the commander-in-chief!"
At Yun Chao's wedding banquet, all the generals of the Yun family army said that Yun Chao was married now and could no longer be like before, everyone called him Brother Chao.
As the territory of the Yun Family Army grows larger and larger, there are more and more people in the Yun Family Army. If everyone keeps calling Chao Geer, it will inevitably damage Yun Chao's image.
After everyone discussed, they finally reached a consensus, and from now on, Yun Chao was called the commander-in-chief.
After Yun Chao found out, he smiled bitterly and agreed.
What everyone said is not unreasonable. No matter what the system is, some rules are still required.
As before, no matter what position he held, everyone called him Chaoge, which really felt unofficial.
The reason why Yun Chao smiled bitterly was because he realized that with the improvement of his status, it would be increasingly impossible for him to get along with his brothers like before.
Will he become a loner like those emperors in the end?
The navy was ready. Yun Chao didn't hesitate any more. Early the next morning, he boarded Sanrakzi's flagship and sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River!
Although the pirates robbed Yun's Trading Company's fleet, it does not mean that not even a single ship of Yun's Trading Company escaped.
On the sea, if you don't have an absolute advantage or take advantage of special terrain, it will be difficult to keep all the fleets behind.
The sea is boundless, and once it is out of sight, it will be difficult to find the other party.
As long as we can delay time and avoid being overtaken, we can easily get rid of the pursuit of enemy ships when it gets dark.
Based on the location of the robbery, you can determine which group of pirates probably did it.
Pirates, like bandits on land, have their own areas of activity and work across regions. They don't need government officials, and their peers will teach them how to behave.
The Yun's Trading Company's fleet was robbed in the area north of the estuary of the river.
The staff office concluded that the pirates who committed the crime should be pirates entrenched on the islands on the north side of the river mouth.
There are not too many islands on the north side of the river mouth, and the pirate force is not very strong. According to the information collected by the Intelligence Department, there are about three groups.
Yun Chao doesn't care which group of pirates did it, he wants to wipe out all three groups of pirates.
Today Wang Mazi dared to rob Yun's Trading Company, and tomorrow Gu Sanqiang dared to commit the crime.
Yunchao wants to solve the problem once and for all.
The Yun family's army and navy almost came out in full force this time.
Except for the ships that needed to be left behind, Yun Chao took all the ships that could go into battle with him.
Although Yunchao cannot fight naval battles, the basic principles of land battles should be similar to those of land battles.
After watching the admiral's command for a period of time, Yun Chao also put forward some small suggestions of his own, such as taking advantage of the telescope, sending more sentry ships for reconnaissance, etc.
In previous naval battles, the number of sentry ships was not large, and the distance of sentry ships was not too far.
This has something to do with line of sight. Once the sentry ship is discovered by the enemy, it is basically difficult to escape.
Don't think that a small boat can run fast.
Compared with a large sailing ship, the speed of a small boat is really not impressive enough.
The reason why many people think that small ships are faster than big ships is because big ships are merchant ships that have transported goods. If they were warships, they would definitely be faster than small sentinel ships.
Especially that kind of galley, with the sails and the oars of the sailors, the speed in a short distance is simply outrageous. Not to mention the sentry ship, even ordinary warships cannot compare.
It's different if the Yun family's army has telescopes. They can evade in advance before they are discovered by enemy ships.
If the enemy cannot see you, it is impossible for him to pursue you desperately.
Therefore, the possibility of exposure is very small.
No matter how many sentry ships are dispatched, there is no need to worry about too much loss.
Not only do you not have to worry about losses, but you can also take advantage of the line of sight to form a local situation of attacking more and less, with multiple pickets gathered together to surround the enemy's pickets.
By the way, never say that the naked eye, like a telescope, can only see things below sea level.
Seeing and seeing clearly are completely different concepts. There are so many ships on the sea. If you can't see clearly, you can't tell whether it is a fishing boat or a pirate ship.
You can't just run away when you see a ship. That fart whistle just conveys the wrong military information!
