In fact, at the beginning, he also felt that it was inappropriate to attack at night, although the night blindness of his soldiers had been reduced after two years of nutritional supplements and treatment by medical officers.
But it was the first time for the Ming Navy to fight across the sea at night.
Although it feels inappropriate, but in Zhu Zhangui's mind, it will definitely be inevitable after the night battle.
Rather than suffer losses in the future, it is better to let the soldiers sum up their experience when they have an advantage.
No matter how good the discussion is on paper, it is not as good as a real fight.
So he did not give an order to stop the attack.
Soon the fighting on the shore stopped, and the main ship also docked at the pier under the guidance of the guiding ship.
After the old man disembarked, he met the soldiers who landed and fought.
Loud praise encouraged them, and they left after asking about the situation of the wounded in person.
The old man's interview made the soldier, who had some emotions in his heart, suddenly recover.
There were excited discussions one by one, how kind the emperor was just now, and even talked to him and other conversations.
Zhu Zhangui also encouraged the soldiers with a smile, affirmed their results, and listened to the soldiers' suggestions.
For example, what difficulties are encountered when launching an attack, and ask what weapons need to be replenished.
After asking all the squad leaders and soldiers one by one, Zhu Zhangui had a general idea in his mind.
"All officers above battalion level, follow me to a meeting!"
After talking with the soldiers, he told them to go back to have a good rest, and told the medical officer that the wounded must be rescued, Zhu Zhangui shouted with a cold face, and asked all the officers to follow him to the meeting.
The officers, who were a little happy to win the position, felt their hearts twitch when they saw His Highness Taisun's complexion.
"You take the child to rest first, I may not go back until later, don't wait for me!"
After explaining to his wife, Zhu Zhangui strode towards the temporary meeting room.
In the conference room, the officers were discussing the battle just now in low voices.
Some thought it was a perfect raid.
Others think that this night battle is a bit too risky.
As Han Fei and Ma Xun who launched the attack this time, they were very worried.
After getting off the boat, Zhu Zhangui didn't give them a good face, obviously he was dissatisfied with their fighting.
"Old horse, what did we do wrong? Why does His Highness look so ugly!"
Glancing at the other generals, Han Fei la la Ma Xun.
"Maybe it's because my subordinates suffered too many deaths and injuries, which caused His Highness to be dissatisfied with this!"
Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was his problem.
"How many casualties did you have?"
Ma Xun glanced at him, sighed, and stretched out three fingers.
"Not counting the injured, nearly 100 people were killed! More than 200 people were injured, and more than 60 of them were seriously injured."
"Hiss, so many."
Hearing such a large number of casualties, Han Fei gasped in shock.
No wonder His Highness has such an ugly face, this is the first time that His Highness's troops have suffered so many casualties in a war other than the Northern Expedition.
When fighting Xiaowogua half a year ago, the battle with the highest number of casualties was the one that launched a strong attack on the capital city.
In that war, heavy casualties were actually inevitable.
After all, in a siege battle, it is normal for the side that is besieging the city to suffer heavy casualties.
After laying down such an important city, the number of casualties is nothing at all.
Compared to the tens of thousands of casualties in other people's siege campaigns, the hundreds of casualties in the war between Shenji Battalion and the Marine Corps is already considered small.
But in today's small landing battle, there were nearly 300 casualties, which is a bit large.
"His Royal Highness is here!"
Just as the generals were discussing in low voices and each was thinking carefully, Zhu Zhangui strode in.
The generals who were discussing in low voices immediately silenced, stood up abruptly, and looked at Zhu Zhangui.
Looking around at everyone, Zhu Zhangui nodded, allowing everyone to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Zhu Zhangui glanced at Han Fei and Ma Xun.
"What do you think of the landing battle tonight?"
As soon as Zhu Zhangui opened his mouth, the hearts of Han Fei and Ma Xun suddenly sank.
"Your Highness, I think the landing battle tonight is a bit risky."
A general of the Marine Corps hesitated for a moment and stood up.
"We have an advantage in the number of weapons, and we can easily win the victory. Why must the soldiers risk their lives to attack at night?"
"Even if there are soldiers in the vanguard who are familiar with the sea conditions and lead the way, they can safely arrive at the pier. But this is not our home field, and the general is a little confused why we should give up our advantages and use our disadvantages to attack the enemy."
"Also, the general asked the attacking soldiers, and they came up with a lot of ideas."
"Our marines, each squad is equipped with swords, shields and long guns, almost all long and short weapons, and long-range weapons also have flintlock guns."
"But we are a naval force. We often fight on the sea, and we have to face storms and bad weather at any time. Although the flintlock is a good and excellent weapon, it is really prone to problems for our navy."
"For example, if the weather is humid, gunpowder will be damp."
"There is also a landing battle like this evening. It is impossible for our ships to sail directly to the shore, and the soldiers must wade through the water."
"Cold weapons such as knives, shields and long guns are fine, but if the flintlock is slightly wet, it becomes a fire stick. Soldiers can only use bayonets to stab people."
"So the general's idea is to cancel some flintlock guns and replace them with bows and arrows, preferably crossbows!"
Zhu Zhangui listened carefully, and wrote down the officer's words one by one in his notebook.
After the officer finished speaking, other officers also stood up one by one and expressed their views on the battle tonight.
Almost all the generals felt that this action tonight was wrong.
Our own side obviously has a great advantage, why must we choose to attack at night?
Although they didn't mention the issue of command inside or outside the words, every sentence showed that the guy who planned to launch the landing operation at night was an idiot.
Listening to what their colleagues said, Han Fei and Ma Xun almost lowered their heads into their crotches.
After everyone finished speaking, Zhu Zhangui looked at the commander of the Marine Corps.
"Wang Xuan, didn't you encounter these problems during your training? Why didn't I receive your report!"
The commander of the Marine Corps bowed his head.
Although training is close to actual combat, it is training after all.
The soldiers all understand that people who can't die, so they are prepared when they land in battle.
There have been no accidents in the exercise on weekdays, and the Marine Corps is also the first unit to appear in history.
Since there is no precedent, all officers are crossing the river by feeling the stones.
The drills are decent on weekdays, and the wars in the past are crushing. Even if some minor problems are exposed, many people ignore them.
After landing in Kyoto Bay, there were some fusiliers, which reflected some of this problem.
But at that time, the war was urgent, and Wang Xuan forgot about it.
When the war was over and a great victory was won, he had long since forgotten about it.
Until this night's night battle, all the problems broke out at once.
"Peng!"
Zhu Zhangui slapped the table heavily, and the admirals trembled collectively.
"Who are you trying to mess with? Did the common people send their brothers and husbands to the army for you to mess with?"
"Do you know that one of your negligence and one mistake will require countless soldiers to pay for it!"
Zhu Zhangui slapped a piece of paper in his hand on the table.
"In a small battle, more than 300 casualties, nearly 100 soldiers lost their lives, and 100 families were about to be torn apart and plunged into grief. Do you know that you are committing a crime?"
Looking at the generals with their heads down, Zhu Zhangui panted heavily.
"We used to have a small number of people, and I could watch you one by one. Now that there are more teams, I can't see it. I think you have followed me for so many years, and you should have learned something, but what about you? These things are messing with me!"
"Do you think that if you defeat a group of prairie barbarians and a group of little pumpkins, you will be invincible in the world. If you feel that no one in the world is your opponent, you will start to drift, not serious, and start to enjoy the life of an official! "
"I tell you, you are dreaming!"
"I, Zhu Zhangui, don't like such an official, and I don't want to see him!"
"This is the army, not a place for you to enjoy your fucking life. If you want to enjoy it, go home and find your wife. I can't afford to serve such an uncle here."
After coldly looking around at the generals with their heads down, Zhu Zhangui knocked on the table heavily.
"I have said more than once that as a general, in addition to winning, you must also protect your brothers."
"Although they are soldiers, their official positions are not as high as yours, but they are the basis for your promotion and wealth. If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, I can give it to you. I can only allow you to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest sacrifice. Officials can be promoted. I can give it to you too."
"But you can't let your brothers take their lives just because of flattery!"
Zhu Zhangui roared angrily, echoing back and forth in the room.
The officers of the Marine Corps and the Shenji Battalion Navy lowered their heads listening to Zhu Zhangui's reprimand.
Standing behind, the other generals who came to support, such as the generals of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion, were also lost in thought.
After a long time, Zhu Zhangui put away the death list and opinion reports in his hands, and said to all the generals: "Think about it when you go back, and write down your thoughts on the battle tonight, and any suggestions for improvement. It's all handed in."
"Don't think about messing with me. If anyone dares to write something indiscriminately, just hand it in, and if you plan to get over it, then you should be ready to fuck off!"
Then he turned his head to look at Han Fei and Ma Xun, "The two of you are temporarily relieved of your duties, and your deputy will take over. Go back and think about what you did wrong. If you don't understand, go back to Daming and look at the warehouse!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhangui glanced at everyone again, turned around and left with big strides.
After Zhu Zhangui left, the generals present, you look at me and I look at you, also left the temporary meeting room under Jiang Huai's wave.
After the officers under Zhu Zhangui left, Zhang Fu, who came to listen, touched his chin, looked at the five army battalion and the three thousand battalion, and the generals of the 5 reserve soldiers who were under his management temporarily said: : "You guys go back and write it too, leave it to me tomorrow, and I'll show it to the emperor!"
"(⊙o⊙) what?"
Hearing Zhang Fu's words, the generals' eyes widened in surprise.
This shit is really a fire at the gate of the city, bringing disaster to the fish in the pond.
The most annoying thing about these big bosses is writing these memorials. In the past, they were asked to write, and they handed them in after confirming.
The above also understood this and didn't say anything.
But I didn't expect to come here for a meeting today, and I have to write a post-war feeling, and seeing Zhang Fu's intentions, I plan to let them write it themselves.
"Oh what, not only you guys write, but I also want to write. If anyone can't write well, there are still a few pig feeders on the logistics side, and you can go there by yourself when the time comes!"
"Ugh!"
Everyone sighed for a moment.
Chapter 191: It's not that what I said is ugly, the people under your command are not even as good as Li Jinglong.
"Take good care of the wounded. Try to meet their needs. If you can't do it, you can come to me."
On the ship where the wounded were placed, Zhu Zhangui wiped his hands and explained to the chief medical officer next to him.
After the meeting, Zhu Zhangui did not go back, but went directly to the ship where the wounded were placed, and participated in the treatment of the wounded.
This busy work lasted until midnight.
After getting off the boat, he glanced at the soldiers who were still repairing the pier overnight, Zhu Zhangui walked to a high ground and sat down, looking towards the dark sea.
"It's been a busy day, why don't you go back to rest, do you have something on your mind?"
The old man's voice sounded behind him, and Zhu Zhangui quickly got up to salute.
The old man reached out and patted Zhu Zhangui on the shoulder, and the two sat down side by side.
