To make a long-term plan, it is not as simple as a dozen boats, with dozens of boatmen and powerful men, pulling some goods on the water.
Due to the turbulent situation on Hebei East Road, Gaokan had to think more quickly and move forward the original agenda.
The Jin Kingdom had many soldiers and cavalry, and they were good at road battles but not water battles. If they had ships and took advantage of waterways, they could come and go freely, but it was not easy to train a navy army.
In this case, Gao Kan couldn't help but envy Song Jiang.
When Chao Gai led people to rescue him, he had already brought the three Ruan brothers with him. They might be hiding in the mountains around Daming Mansion.
Even if he gets out of trouble in the future, he will definitely go to Liangshan along the way, hoping to recruit him under his command, I'm afraid it's just a fool's errand.
But it's just a sigh. After all, there are countless heroes in the world, and it doesn't mean that you can't become a navy soldier just because you have become a prostitute.
Thinking of this, Gao Kan pulled Lin Chong aside and asked in a low voice: "Coach Lin, if we want to use these dozen boats to train a navy, do you think it is feasible?"
Lin Chong was surprised when he heard this and said, "Young master, you want to practice navy?"
Gao Kan nodded silently in agreement.
Seeing this, Lin Chong frowned and said, "Young master, I don't know that this naval drill is very different from that of infantry. First of all, it requires a large number of people who are familiar with the nature of water, and it also needs to be trained by leaders and instructors who are good at water warfare."
"Even if both are in place, it would still require spending a huge amount of money and rehearsing slowly. Even if it takes a year or two, it may not be effective."
Hearing this, Gao Kan was surprised and asked: "Is there such trouble?"
"Water warfare is different from infantry warfare. In infantry warfare, as long as you are a man, give him a knife and practice casually, you will be able to catch the duck. After a few more kills, you will be able to fight hard."
Lin Chong shook his head and said solemnly: "But water battles all rely on the boat to stand up. The water is swaying and the boat is unstable. If you are not familiar with life on the boat, you can't even stand firmly, let alone fight."
Gao Kan touched his chin, and after careful consideration, he felt that what Lin Chong said made sense.
But the naval force he wants doesn't have to be very powerful.
As long as he could come and go freely on the water and send people back and forth quietly, that would be enough. Anyway, there weren't many water battles around Daming Mansion.
The surface of the two rivers is also different from that of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, which can be charged by the ships of the two armies.
While thinking about it, he added: "What if I just want to train some people who are familiar with water properties and skilled in handling boats to help transport the surprise troops?"
Hearing this, Lin Chong immediately said: "That would be much simpler. There are many old tricks on the water surface of the two rivers in Daming Mansion. They are all people who are familiar with the underwater conditions and are skilled in handling boats. Just get together and it will be done."
"If the young master is worried and doubts and doesn't want to implicate innocent people, you can also ask these people to be masters and then disperse your own people to learn for three to five months."
"March or May? That should be enough time." Gao Kan murmured to himself.
"Master, what do you mean it's too late?" Lin Chong asked after hearing the sound.
Upon seeing this, Gao Kan did not hide anything and said directly: "Coach Lin, you have also seen the situation in Daming Mansion. Liang Zhongshu was afraid that bandits from all walks of life would gather and threaten Daming Mansion, so he ordered the entire city to be sealed off overnight."
"We don't know the truth from the truth. Don't the prefect's yamen not know?"
"And with such a great opportunity, I am afraid that not only Hebei East Road, but also Hebei West Road, and even the rogue bandits in Shandong will take the opportunity to cause trouble."
"If this happens, won't the entire Hebei Road turn into a mess?" Lin Chong said in shock.
Nodding slightly, Gao Kan said with a cold expression: "My expectation is that when the green forests from all sides gather together, Song Jiang will definitely raise the banner with Chao Gai. These two people have extremely high prestige among the green forests, especially Song Jiang, who is known as ' Shandong Hu Baoyi', there are many heroes in Shandong, and they are all brave and righteous."
"The people of Songjiang were involved in a lawsuit in Jiangzhou Prefecture. They rushed from Liangshan to save people. They are in Daming Prefecture now. How could they not come?"
"When the banner is waved, a large number of people will gather in a matter of seconds. I'm afraid Daming Mansion won't be able to hold on for a long time. But this is just a detail. Even if it comes fiercely, it's just a rough patch. It's difficult to become a climate. As long as Give the court time, and sooner or later the army will be able to annihilate them all."
"The key is the Kingdom of Jin in the Northeast!"
It turned out that Gao Kan had analyzed with Lin Chong that it was only a matter of time before the Jin Kingdom would be unable to bear it and send its troops south.
If rogue bandits broke out all along Henan Road and brought chaos to Shandong, the Song Dynasty court would be shaken and panicked, and people from all walks of life would gather here.
In this way, the border must be empty. Will the Jin people not seize the great opportunity?
Lin Chong followed Gao Kan's words and thought about it all the way. He couldn't help but become more and more frightened as he thought about it. He even seemed to have seen the Jin army take over and run rampant in the territory of the Song Dynasty.
"Then..." After a long while, he uttered a word, but could not say the following words.
Gao Kan said straightly: "We can't control the affairs in the court. The Song army is weak. Coach Lin, you know it, so I'm afraid it's unreliable. What we can do is to take advantage of the situation to stop as many as we can and save as many as we can." Save as many as you can."
"I can't understand it at the moment, but as long as the war continues, there will be countless opportunities waiting for me. At that time, I only need to request a document from the court and lay down a ground, and we will have a foothold. Then we can really show off our grand plans. , in addition to fending off the enemy, even destroying the Kingdom of Jin, recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, and restoring our land of China."
Lin Chong's eyes widened when he heard Gao Kan's words.
If you had just listened to the first half, you would have thought that Gao Kan wanted to break the earth and become the king. Even if you listened to the second half, it would make your heart skip a beat.
In addition to defending against the enemy, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed and the sixteen states of Yanyun were recovered.
Of these three, which one doesn't sound like fantasy?
However, Lin Chong had made up his mind and would follow Gao Kan's side, that is, he would not make any changes no matter what.
The worst possible outcome is death, what should a good man be afraid of? Eighteen years later, he is a good man again, and he can do it again!
"Young master has far-sightedness, and my subordinates are willing to accompany you to achieve great things together!" Lin Chong thought in his heart, and immediately bowed his hands to him.
Gao Kan hurriedly supported him and said: "Coach Lin, there is no need to exert too much effort. You and I, brothers, are all members of the same family. Don't talk about two families. Now it's critical. We still need people."
Hearing this, Lin Chong said again: "I do know some capable men, but they are scattered everywhere and I still need to keep in touch."
"That's very good. Coach Lin just invites people. As long as they come, I will give them preferential treatment!"
Gao Kan knew that Lin Chong had many connections and knew more heroes than he did, and he also had better ways to bring these people into his group.
If you just rely on yourself to combine the history of Water Margin and the Song Dynasty, although you can grasp the general trend, the details will be much worse. After all, you are a later person, and of course it is not as clear as living in the present.
While they were talking, they heard the sound of officials approaching quickly from outside. The two of them stopped immediately. They didn't dare to let outsiders hear what they said, otherwise they would be dead.
