Chapter 327: Xue Rengui wants to be a navy Fang Yiai made a certain determination in his heart - if he wants to really show himself, it will definitely not work in the army with many famous generals, at least before the older generation of famous generals die, there will definitely be no place for himself, not to mention that with the development of science and technology, a large number of thermal weapons are used, Datang pays more and more attention to the coordination of strategy and tactics and new weapons, and the status of generals like him will definitely get lower and lower, and famous generals who know how to command art are more likely to get ahead.
Therefore, the army is definitely not good at the moment, so if you want to make yourself go further, you can only devote yourself to the navy, which is still in its infancy, with his position in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, he will definitely agree to his request, and as long as he is trained, it should not be a problem to have a fleet governor, right?
…… It's a pity that Fang Yiai has been in Nanyang during this time, and because Xue Rengui's plan needs to be kept secret, he has not been in contact with the imperial court at all, and naturally he doesn't know that Li Zhen has dedicated the navy to the imperial court, and the imperial court is ready to add a few more fleets to set up a military region to enhance the status of the navy, forming a situation of equal emphasis on land and sea - that is to say, the navy at this time is no longer the kind of grandma who doesn't hurt and uncle doesn't love before he left, only the prince occasionally pays attention to the state of his eyes, Instead, it has become the hottest new type of military in Datang, and countless people want to join it.
It's not just the big guys in the DPRK who are trying their best to stuff their juniors into the navy, but even the major forces are trying to find ways to insert people into the navy, so the competitiveness in the navy at this time is not weak at all, not to mention the captain of the fleet, even if it is a small destroyer (fifth-class battleship) captain will be fought over - in this case, unless Fang Yiai really has the ability, it is impossible to repeat the miracle of the former lieutenant Chi Baolin.
And at present, in the Youth Army, in addition to Fang Yiai's thoughts, there is another person who also thinks like this......
"I don't care if it's famous, in fact, after this battle, I'm probably going to leave our army."
Looking back at the Young Army marching in the rain, and then thinking that he might be about to be transferred to the Navy, Xue Rengui was really a little reluctant in his heart, after all, although he was not an officer in the Junior Army system, the establishment of the Junior Army itself had its own credit, not to mention that he had been leading the Junior Army all these years, and he had been getting along with him for so long day and night, and now he suddenly wanted to leave, and it was normal to be reluctant.
However, Xue Rengui also knows that if he wants to go further, it is inevitable to leave the Boys' Army, there is no doubt that the future of the Boys' Army is absolutely bright, especially after Li Zhen becomes the emperor, the Boys' Army is equivalent to the muffled voice of the Son of Heaven, and the officers from the Boys' Army can definitely get better opportunities, and the future is limitless.
But Xue Rengui himself has an unlimited future, and he doesn't need the skin of the Boy Army at all - besides, he has a relationship with the Boy Army, and he can be regarded as coming out of the Boy Army, and now that he is tall and heavy, he has entered the eyes of the highest level of power, and he no longer needs this skin.
Therefore, if Xue Rengui wants to go further, then he must use his military exploits as a stepping stone, but in order to save his apprentices before, his military exploits have been completely canceled by Li Zhen, and the military exploits brought to him by the Pinghua and Hou Junji are far from meeting his further requirements.
Secondly, Xue Rengui is not a political idiot, since most people in the court can see the situation clearly, he can naturally see clearly, the court is already overwhelmed by repeated actions now, and the most dangerous time may endanger the stability of the society and the stability of Prince Li Zhen's position at any time.
Although now because of the efforts of many parties, the imperial court has barely survived this crisis, but in the future, it is bound to recuperate - this period of time will not be too short, at least in three or five years, it is impossible to use swords again, that is to say, if you stay in the army, Xue Rengui will not want to make meritorious contributions in three or five years, this is not what he wants to see, life is short, how many three or five years can there be?
Therefore, in order to be able to make meritorious contributions, Xue Rengui must jump out of the circle of the army and enter the naval system - the navy is different from the army, and the army will not have any wars in the future, but the navy is different, not to mention anything else, there are many islands to explore in the South China Sea alone; secondly, with such a large profit in the South Seas, it is difficult to keep that other countries want to come over and get involved, and at this time, the role of the navy comes out; Last but not least, piracy is piracy, another product of the Age of Discovery, it was the Age of Discovery that brought a lot of profits, so it bred a large number of people who wanted to get something for nothing, so pirates were born.
Although the pirates of the Tang Dynasty have not yet appeared, since the Age of Discovery has opened, the appearance of pirates is almost inevitable, and the elimination of pirates is a great achievement.
After three or five years on the sea, you can eliminate a lot of pirates, and then after the Tang Dynasty recovers, it will definitely launch a foreign war, and then the role of the navy will be even greater, and there will be less opportunities for meritorious service?
…… It's just that Xue Rengui didn't say it clearly, he said that he was leaving the army, but Fang Yiai misunderstood that he was going to retire, and he was taken aback, jumped up and shouted: "What?
Why are you going to retire?
Do you think that you have made such a great contribution, Your Highness will not be able to tolerate you?
I mean, you're too careful, aren't you?
Your Highness is not that kind of person. ” "What are you guessing about?
That's not the case at all, you're a little too imaginative, aren't you?
Xue Rengui couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly explained: "Besides, when did I say that I was going to retire?"
I'm just saying that I might have to leave the Boys' Army after this war - I'm going to join the Navy ......"
However, Fang Yiai was even more surprised: "What?
Why do you want to join the Navy too?
” "Also?"
Xue Rengui instantly grasped the point of Fang Yu's words: "What do you mean?"
Do you also want to join the Navy?
” "Hmm......"
Fang Yiai nodded with a bitter face, but it was really not a taste in his heart - it's over, with Xue Rengui competing with him, don't think about the position of the governor himself, it seems that he still wants to be his deputy, it's really a little unwilling.
But what can be done if you are not reconciled?
The navy pays more attention to combat wisdom than the army, and he can't catch up with Xue Rengui at this point, so I just hope that His Royal Highness can form a few more fleets in the next batch, and if he stays by Xue Rengui's side, he will learn from the experience of naval warfare......
Fang Yiai comforted in his heart......
I just don't know what his reaction will be when he returns to Lingnan and knows everything......
