Chapter 764 Yu Ziqi's First Battle
So the matter has been dragged on until today. Those Indian caravans who talked about black slaves a few days ago were ordered by Indian officials and deliberately provoked.
Now they use this as an excuse to set off with a large army, and they want to go to Daqin to ask for an explanation.
It's just that they don't know what this trip means to them.
After the ordinary people in India knew about this operation, they all clapped their hands and applauded.
Because the last time Daqin killed Indian businessmen indiscriminately for no reason.
It also caused a certain response among the people. Many Indian people expressed their dissatisfaction with their government's inaction.
At that time, many people petitioned to join the army and seek justice for their compatriots.
It's just that the Indian government at that time did not give any response to this matter.
Finally this time the Indian army is going to Daqin.
These ordinary people are naturally very clear about how powerful their own country's army is.
In the eyes of these Indians, even if there is another fairly powerful country in this world, India can condescend to trade with them, which is already the biggest concession.
They didn't even know the heights of the sky and the earth, and dared to kill Indian businessmen.
Naturally, they never imagined that there would be an army stronger than the Indian army.
So for ordinary people in India, this expedition is a war that must be won, and they have nothing to worry about.
Such ideas are not only circulated among ordinary people.
Even in the Indian army, there is such a saying.
They thought that this expedition was just to add some excitement to their boring days.
And they can also take this opportunity to earn more military merits. For them, it seems that this battle is just a sightseeing trip.
From their generals to their soldiers, not many people took this matter seriously.
With such a mentality, they did not guard against Daqin's intelligence ship at all.
Even if they found out, they thought it was trivial.
Because their generals think that only if they don't believe in their own strength will they continue to spy on the military situation.
Like their Indian army is the most powerful, so there is no need to spy on the enemy's military situation.
Directly drive this invincible fleet to the border of Daqin.
When the time comes to ask them to give an explanation, do they dare not give it?
......
After Zhang Han dispatched the generals, he sent them to Lingnan port to prepare.
Even if there was no Indian invasion this time, these soldiers would have been sent to Lingnan Port.
Because some time ago, after Wang Li came back, he had asked Ying Yu to send reinforcements to the African continent.
Although their war there did not encounter too many obstacles, the African continent is really too vast.
The land occupied by Wang Li's people also needs to leave soldiers to manage and guard it.
As more and more chassis are occupied, Wang Li's manpower is obviously not enough.
So the last time Wang Li came back, in addition to bringing back information and loot, he also brought more soldiers to conquer the African continent.
And these soldiers will naturally be dispatched from Daqin's navy.
This time, just in time for the Indian army to attack again, it happened to kill two birds with one stone.
So this time the commander-in-chief is Zhang Han, but he will not personally lead the troops to Lingnan Port, which is what Ying Yu meant.
Because this battle is mainly to train newcomers, after the baptism of this war, they will be sent to Africa.
And the candidate for this rookie is none other than Ying Yu's eldest brother-in-law, Yu Ji's real brother, Yu Ziqi.
After some time, naturally the Qin Navy, which was closer, arrived at Lingnan Port first.
At the same time, Yu Ziqi also received Zhang Han's transfer order. After reading Ying Yu's imperial edict, his reaction was similar to Zhang Han's.
After taking over the command, he immediately began to form troops.
What Ying Yu meant was also very easy to understand, from Yu Ziqi's point of view.
This war must be won, but it is difficult to win, and it creates the illusion that the enemy is almost able to win.
At this time, considering the current combat effectiveness of the Daqin army, it is not difficult to directly win this war with a thunderous blow.
On the contrary, it may be difficult to create such an illusion.
Because if you want to show a hard fight, you need to deliberately release water.
If the water is released deliberately, the scale on your side is fine, but the enemy army will not grasp the scale.
In this way, if too much water is released, the losses on your own side may be huge.
If the water is not enough, it will make the enemy feel that there is no hope of victory.
So how to narrowly win has become Yu Ziqi's headache now.
Recently, while waiting for the arrival of the Indian army, Yu Ziqi also conducted many surveys in Lingnan port and nearby waters.
Finally, a battlefield was selected, three days away from Lingnan Port.
This is the place where Ying Yu was shipwrecked when he returned to the voyage that day.
The geographical environment here is a bit special, and there are uncertain currents in the sea that can be used.
During the period of waiting for the arrival of the enemy, Yu Ziqi led people to survey the flow of this sea area every day and recorded it in the book.
At that time, if the sea current can be used reasonably in the war at sea.
That is much more useful than any general.
With the help of this ocean current, many unexpected operations can also be completed.
Not long after, the strategy for fighting the Indian army this time was drawn up.
Compared to the serious preparations made by the Great Qin Navy, the Indian Army seemed to be much more relaxed. Basically, it was playing every night, and it didn't look like it was preparing for war at all.
They have even voted to decide how to deal with Daqin after defeating Daqin this time?
Some of them think that they directly send people to capture Daqin's land.
From then on, there is no need to trade with Daqin anymore. Their silk is really good, just forcefully seize it.
Some people think that there is no need to occupy them at all, and their land must be small.
If they are forcibly occupied, it may also arouse their resentment.
You just need to sign some unequal treaties for them and let them continue to provide these silks to India.
For this reason, they also fought hard.
Others believe that ministers were sent directly from India to take over Daqin.
Or directly force them to become a vassal state of India, and pay a certain amount of money, beauties, silk, etc. to India every year.
If you disagree, then destroy Daqin.
This proposal also attracted the support of many people, and various factions with different viewpoints quarreled for a while.
Both sides come and go, and no one is willing to back down.
It seems that this war has not been fought, and they have already won.
In the end, such a dispute ended without any result.
They also knew that they were ordered to come here this time only to defeat Da Qin and let them give an explanation.
As for how Daqin will deal with it after the victory, it is not up to them to decide.
The debate ended in the collision of wine glasses and ended without a problem.
