Chapter 438 When Dong Sheng was alive, Shao Fang was upset when he saw him, and now that Dong Sheng died in front of him, Shao Fang was sad again, and it was rare to cry out loud in a gaffe, people are so strange.
Dong Sheng put forward the three suggestions for Shao Fang, and the latter did not discard any of them and accepted them all.
First of all, he burned the whistleblowers in order to stabilize people's hearts, so that the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and the central government no longer have any worries and can unite with the outside world.
Then, he reactivated Nanyan, reinstated his official position, continued to serve as the commander of the Tiger Ben Army, and added the title of Marquis, and ordered Nan Yan to lead the Hu Ben Army south to meet the An and Huan armies in the south.
Next, he urgently recruited Gao Hang and named him the marshal of the Zhenjiang Navy Division to guard Zhenjiang.
Gao Hang was originally Xu Lengzhi's deputy general, not very old, but quite talented, deeply appreciated and reused by Xu Lengzhi, if it weren't for the East China Sea division needed someone to preside over the overall situation, Xu Lengzhi would definitely take him to Haowan County to resist the wind army.
Of course, it was also thanks to Xu Lengzhi that he didn't bring Gao Hang, otherwise the latter would have to die in Pufeng City with him.
Zhenjiang is the northern barrier of the capital of Mozambique, where there are 100,000 naval troops stationed in Mozambique, and when Gao Hang was recalled to the capital, the East China Sea army was also called back.
The East China Sea army of Mozambique has as many as 150,000 people, and often participates in water battles, whether it is combat power or actual combat experience, it is far superior to the Zhenjiang water army, if the East China Sea army arrives in Zhenjiang, it will undoubtedly add an insurmountable barrier to the south of the Fengyu coalition army.
After all, the Wind Country and the Jade Kingdom are not vassal states that are good at naval armies.
The only thing to be thankful for is that it will take a long time for the East China Sea Army to reach Zhenjiang.
Gao Hang returned to the capital from Donghai County, only by riding a horse or riding a carriage by land, but the ships of the navy could not go by land, it had to start from Donghai County, bypass the coastal area, enter the Zhenjiang estuary, and then go upriver along the Zhenjiang River, crossing the two counties, in order to reach the capital, even at the fastest speed, such a long distance, the East China Sea Division had to walk for at least two months.
Therefore, for the Mozambican side, as long as their Zhenjiang Water Division can hold out for two months, they can wait for the East China Sea Division to be a strong reinforcement, so that they will have an absolute advantage in water warfare.
Similarly, for the Fengyu coalition army, they had to strive to defeat the Zhenjiang naval army within two months, before the East China Sea Division arrived, and transport the main force of the whole army across the river, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the battle to destroy Mo.
After Gao Hang returned to the capital, he accepted the title of Shao Fang, took office immediately, began to deploy defenses in the south of the Yangtze River, and trained and dispatched Zhenjiang naval divisions.
Gao Hang was only in his thirties, handsome, and had a baby face, looking much younger than his actual age.
However, his style is not as weak as his appearance, vigorous and resolute, iron-fisted and hard-handed, as soon as he took office, he launched a drastic rectification of the Zhenjiang Naval Division, and formulated a series of assessment systems, the capable go up, the mediocre go down, and those who only have money in their eyes, corrupt the law, and dereliction of duty generals, all will be severely punished.
Since its establishment, the Zhenjiang Naval Division has never fought a war, and has neglected training on weekdays, and most of the generals in the army are not very familiar with water warfare.
For such a naval army, Gao Hang also had a headache, and he was involved in everything, but fortunately, Shao Fang's support for him was very strong, and he had to give him full trust, which allowed Gao Hang's series of measures to be implemented.
If you talk about land warfare, then Gao Hang is definitely a layman, but he is an expert in water warfare.
Pushing four generations to his ancestors, he has been a naval army general for generations, and Gao Hang can be regarded as a veritable sailor family.
Gao Hang's tenure as commander of the Zhenjiang Naval Division was not long in his time, and he had already achieved considerable results, and a large number of capable young nobles were promoted by him to hold important positions in various parts of the army.
However, Gao Hang also has his limitations, no matter how much he values talents, the generals he promotes and reuses are basically all from noble backgrounds, and for those talented soldiers who are from civilian backgrounds, they are still excluded from the scope of the core of power.
At this point, he is far inferior to Tang Yin.
As for the situation on the Mozcan side, the Fengyu coalition has already understood it clearly through the secret agents of the Sky Eye and the Earth Network.
In this war against Mozambique, the troops dispatched by the Wind Country are all army, and now they are going to fight Zhenjiang, and they will finally use the navy.
In fact, the old Wind Country did not annex Ning Guo before the Wind Country did not have a water army, until the Wind Country annexed the eight counties of Ningbei and received the water army that originally belonged to Ning State, which allowed the Wind Country to have a water army that was not strong but not weak.
The Wind Country's navy is in Ningdi, and there is no water area leading to Zhenjiang, so it seems unlikely that the Wind Country's navy will appear in Zhenjiang.
However, this view could not be more wrong.
As early as when the Feng army went south to attack Mozambique, the naval army of Ningdi began to move eastward and entered the territory of the wind country.
Then, at the suggestion of the Military Administration, the Fengguo Navy went to Zhenjiang by land.
On the Fengguo side, huge wooden planks were made to fix the ship on it, and then the round logs were used as rollers, and the bottom planks were pushed and pulled by manpower to move the ship on land.
There are 100,000 people in the Wind Country, and there are no less than 200 large and small ships, all of which are transported on land, and the enormity of its project can be imagined.
Not counting the 100,000 naval soldiers, more than 200,000 people traveled all the way south from the country of Feng, passing through half of the country of wind, passing through the five counties of northern Mo, and then traveling half of the country of Mo, before they could reach Zhenjiang.
The cost of this is huge, and the wind country has also made a lot of money.
When this dryland fleet entered the territory of Mozambique, it was a lot easier, at least there was no longer a need for domestic labor, and all the labor was replaced by the prisoners of the Mozambican army, which saved a lot of money for the country of Feng, of course, the wind people treated these Mozambican prisoners no different from slaves, and on the way to transport the fleet, countless Mozambican prisoners died of exhaustion halfway.
In any case, not long after the Fengyu coalition army was stationed on the north bank of Zhenjiang, the sailors of the Wind Country were simply transported from the Wind Country to Zhenjiang.
The commander of the Feng Country Water Army is Fengren, named He Yi, and the deputy commander is Ningren, who are Sun Bing and Xu Yan.
In that era when the army was king, the navy army has not been valued in the Wind Country, although there are 100,000 people, although there is a legion establishment, but there is no legion number, and it is not included in the list of the Central Army Corps of the Wind Country.
Most of the commanders of other legions are generals, and the last is also lieutenant generals, but He Yi's military rank is only one level higher than that of the corps commander, while the military ranks of Sun Bing and Xu Yan, the two deputy marshals, are half a level higher than the corps commander.
After the naval warship arrived in Zhenjiang, Tang Yin personally met with He Yi, Sun Bing, and Xu Yan.
He Yi was born in the army corps directly under him and could not fight water wars at all, while Sun Bing and Xu Yan were born as serious generals of the 800 navy army, and their combination is a typical layman leading an insider.
The reason why this is the case is because Tang Yin trusted Fengren in the early stage and ensured that Fengren occupied a dominant position in the army, and the navy army has never been within the scope of Tang Yin's attention, so it has always been so wrong.
After He Yi, Sun Bing, and Xu Yan saluted Tang Yin, he asked He Yi if he had any plan to defeat the Mo State Sailor on the other side.
He Yi used to be the head of the corps in the directly subordinate army, and he was a direct subordinate of Tang Yin, and he had not seen the king since he became the commander of the navy, and now he was inevitably a little excited.

He didn't even think about it, and replied loudly: "Returning to the king, our army has the determination to die on the battlefield, and also has the confidence to defeat the enemy.
After Tang Yin heard this, he looked up and smiled, he admired He Yi's high fighting spirit, but the plan seemed to be a little rougher, so he just went straight to the past He laughed for a while, and Fang asked softly: "He Yi, according to our investigation, the new commander of the Zhenjiang Water Division of Mozambique is Gao Hang, this person is well versed in water warfare, and in Donghai County, where water wars most often occur in Mozambique, there is a great deal of fame, and you are confident that you can beat him."
Gao Hang He Yiya had never heard of this name.
He hesitated for a long time, scratched his hair and said: "As far as the last general knows, the Zhenjiang Water Division has loose military discipline and insufficient combat strength, so it should not be the opponent of our army." ” Hearing this, Tang Yin shook his head and said, "The information you got was from the past, and the current situation is very different from before.
Since the change of commander of the Zhenjiang Naval Army, most of the inactive generals in the army have been replaced by Gao Hang, and a large number of generals who are proficient in water warfare have been promoted, and the whole army is diligent in training, and the combat power of the first mate has been improved.
Hearing the dissatisfaction in the king's mouth, He Yi hurriedly lowered his head and stammered: "The last general has been on the way, so there is some news, and I don't know about it."
"I don't know, don't you ask" Tang Yin frowned and said: "I know that the big war is coming, but you don't even care about your opponent, so what do you care about all day?"
This was a reprimand from Tang Yin, but He Yi really replied seriously: "The last general has to supervise the transportation of the fleet, and the ships can't be allowed to lose anything on the way, otherwise, even if General Mo has ten heads, he can't afford it."
Tang Yin was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, this He Yi, why is he so stupid, how did he choose him to be the commander of the navy in the first place Of course, he must have forgotten that it was Wuying who recommended He Yi at the beginning, but the approval was signed by him personally.
When I didn't see He Yi, Tang Yin still thought he was good, but now that we have met, the more Tang Yin talks, the more discouraged he becomes, relying on such a confused commander, can he really beat Gao Hang, who was entrusted with important tasks by Shao Fang:
