I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

But everyone knows that this kind of strategic stuff really affects the whole body, and it often takes a lot of things to explain one point.

So Zhang Nuo was really tired during that time, and wished to see Su Dingfang turn around and leave.

But the big guys all live on the boat, and the cabins are all fixed, there is no place to run around!

But in fact, it is Zhang Nuo who really wants to train Su Dingfang. This is the No. 1 army he is optimistic about in the future. Much involved.

This kind of person is most suitable to be a lonely minister, and this is also recognized by Li Shimin.Otherwise, do you really think that Zhang Nuo can train someone at will to be the No. 1 in the future military?

Don't look at Zhang Nuo's laughing and joking, but after all these years, there are not many people who owe Zhang Nuo's favor, let alone many people who think Zhang Nuo benefits from it.

They couldn't repay these favors, and Zhang Nuo didn't expect to repay them. It's enough for everyone to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays.

But if Zhang Nuo started to train someone to take over his class, even if it was just the military career in all his careers, when this person came up, all the people who had a relationship with Zhang Nuo would stand up without saying anything, but At least a goodwill will be maintained.

This is the role of Zhang Nuo's signboard.Therefore, Li Shimin naturally had to carefully consider the people Zhang Nuo wanted to train.

Su Dingfang also nodded after he considered for a long time. After all, in terms of knowledge and various aspects, he is indeed the most suitable.

It can be imagined that although Su Dingfang did not really worship under Zhang Nuo's sect like Li Chengqian, in fact, he has changed his name to teacher now.

This is actually the recognition of Zhang Nuo, the teacher who taught him advanced combat concepts and tactics. Zhang Nuo did not deny this kind of title, and it was also an acknowledgment of this cause and effect.

But this kind of friendship between teachers and students is still much worse than that of Li Chengqian. After all, Li Chengqian's kind is really filial and old-age like a son.

To put it bluntly, it's just the difference between a direct disciple and a registered disciple, but his brand of being a teacher and a master is too big and too lazy, so so far let alone a direct disciple, even the registered disciple is only Su Dingfang was alone.

Zhang Nuo's initial idea was to train Su Dingfang well and at the same time kill the boredom of ocean voyages, but it was a headache to teach him.

This Nima seems to be a bit endless.

But, fortunately, Zhang Nuo didn't fool him, and directly pulled a group of young officers, and even pulled all the young army officers from the army's troop carrier, and then the big guys continued to conduct war games.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. After all, there have been similar things in the past, but it’s not called war games and it’s not so formal.

But when it comes to Zhang Nuo, it's different. Marching speed, food, morale, equipment, casualty rate, etc. all need to be taken into consideration, and there are even factors such as random weather.

Zhang Nuo added countless variables to them, but these variables were all real, and then these staff officers and officers went completely crazy.

In the past, anyone could boast that he used soldiers like a god or something, but after all, he had never done it with real swords and guns, and what's more, he couldn't take it seriously.

As for the drills, that's not their turn either. They each have their own positions. As young military officers, most of them are middle and lower ranks, and few of them can lead troops to fight independently.

But now it’s better, this kind of military chess deduction with complicated rules and changing conditions is simply scratching their itches, this thing is good!

Big guys, don't brag about how good you are, just play and come here.

Hot weapons vs hot weapons, hot weapons vs cold weapons, cold weapons vs cold weapons, don't say anything, let's go!

Chapter 1005 Expedition Fleet

The wargame deduction created by Zhang Nuo is not only liked by these officers, but also the guards like Cao Xing. They are also close to the water, especially Cao Xing.

So he could see and understand this very interesting "game" for the first time, and then he was fascinated.

Although he has never led soldiers in battle since he joined the army, but this does not prevent him from having a heart to make contributions.

Don't look at Cao Xing's lack of general status because of Zhang Nuo's injury before, but in fact he is already considered a very high-ranking officer in the army, but his position and functions are a little bit special.

And as long as you are a soldier, I am afraid that you will not have any resistance to this kind of game that relies on wisdom and strategy to defeat your opponent.

Even Cao Xing, a reckless man, is like this, let alone Su Dingfang.

Since the journey time is too long, and there are still stops from time to time in the middle, to rest, to replenish supplies, etc., the time is getting longer and longer.

Then under Zhang Nuo's suggestion, this group of people played even more.

For example, taking turns being the commander, using new weapons in turn, changing the battlefield presets, combining the three armies of the sea, land and air, etc. Basically, they have come up with all the gameplay they can think of.

And what Zhang Nuo is saying here is not to say that every day you come to play with it and win or lose. After you go back to your cabin, you have to immerse yourself in writing reflections and conclusions.

In Zhang Nuo's view, reflection and conclusion after the war are more important than on-site thinking and scheduling. After all, maybe you have a flash of inspiration or a bad move during the deduction. Can bring you a steady stream of thinking.

And those thoughts are the crystallization of continuous thinking collisions and confrontations throughout the day.

However, this fierce confrontation basically came to an end here, because Persia is almost here!

In fact, Zhang Nuo found out that he had done a stupid thing when he saw the map a few days after he set off. Damn it, there is no Suez Canal at this moment. He can't go directly from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean unless he is willing to go through the Cape of Good Hope. Make a full circle.

This Nima is embarrassing!

However, that was only aimed at the Byzantine Empire. Zhang Nuoke had no intention of being polite to the Persian Empire, a good neighbor that was "close at hand".

Zhang Nuo also contacted Li Shimin via telegram. After explaining the situation in general, Li Shimin waved his hand proudly and agreed to Zhang Nuo's new battle plan.

That is to establish a port supply base in Persia while conquering Persia. At that time, this will become the starting point for the entire Tang Dynasty to attack the continent of Persia.

And Datang will further adjust the railway construction plan, starting from Chang'an to build a railway to the Persian Empire, it may be a few years or more than ten years, when Datang's national strength and military power will be further developed, Datang will start from The two routes began to attack the Persian Empire at the same time and swept the Byzantine Empire.

So Zhang Nuo's action this time has two purposes,

First, teach the Persian Empire a lesson, no matter what ideas they had at the beginning, or their brains twitched, they ran over to provoke Datang by hooking up with each other.

But anyway, this beam has already been formed, so Datang must let them understand what is the majesty of Datang, and what is to be punished even though it is far away.

Since the Byzantine Empire cannot be attacked directly when it comes out this time, it cannot be let go. At least the early geographical survey and map drawing must be done.

Then it was a wave of blows to the Persian Empire from beginning to end. For important agricultural areas, cash crops, commercial areas, and military camps, the economy of this hostile country was hit in an all-round way, making them exhausted.

And the second thing is to turn it into a nail, completely stand firm on this strange continent, and at the same time open up a route.

This will not only be the bridgehead for Datang to develop, but also the base of Datang in the future.

Therefore, Datang should not only show prestige but also reason, and let the people here know that following Datang is the most correct and promising way.

These two points are the main things Zhang Nuo wants to do.

After having an idea and a goal, the rest is actually simple. After repeatedly comparing the aerial reconnaissance data and flying up to see it himself, Zhang Nuo finally determined the goal—the later port city of Bandar Abbas.

This place may have declined in modern times. After all, if the country you are relying on is not strong and you are not on the world's main trade routes, your business will not be able to rise, and your port will not be able to prosper even if you want to.

But in the present, the hydrological conditions of this place, as well as the relatively abundant rainwater and green plants on the Persian Gulf, are all Zhang Nuo values.

After all, he didn't just want revenge, he had to find Datang's base, if he didn't find it well, it would take a lot of time.

And the so-called offense is actually much simpler than imagined.

Today's Bandar Abbas is a small fishing village, and it can be done just by dropping off a troop carrier, but Zhang Nuo has to quickly bring people and supplies from other places, and at the same time build a base here.

However, after a good start, the rest is simple.

Zhang Nuo started to dismantle the fleet. He had an idea, taking advantage of this trip, he must collect as much hydrological data as possible, and at the same time draw as many maps as possible.

Then population, gold and silver, food, minerals, as long as they can be searched, they will all be searched.

However, at this time, after the navy was used for deterrence and occupation of coastal ports in the early stage, it would divide troops. Zhang Nuo planned to dismantle a main fleet and go along the coastline around the Cape of Good Hope to visit the Byzantine Empire.

Zhang Nuo actually came up with this idea after seeing the current situation.In his opinion, the current task of the navy here is actually not heavy, so why not take this opportunity to accumulate some sailing experience?

This ocean sailing experience is really rare!

Moreover, the main fleet of the Byzantine Empire this time is all three-masted sailing ships. Although this kind of sail-powered ship is not as fast as the iron-clad ship, its biggest advantage is that the supply pressure is much less.

If an all-ironclad ship travels, then the logistics supply ship will have to bring a lot of them. After all, it will take a long journey around the Cape of Good Hope, but if it is a sail-powered ship, it is not necessary. As long as the food and drink are prepared, they can go all the way. past.

They will be Datang's first real expedition fleet, and Zhang Nuo is looking forward to their return!

Chapter 1006 The Hypocritical Zhang Nuo

In fact, at the very beginning, Datang’s arrangement was naturally not like this. As I said before, whether it is the Byzantine Empire or the Persian Empire, it is necessary to learn a lesson, and then prepare for a thorough conquest in the future.

However, no matter what the strategy is, it still depends on the actual situation in the end. Now that there are such big mistakes and omissions, it is impossible not to adjust them.

Zhang Nuo didn't say much at the beginning. After all, the embarrassing things have already happened. If he still talks about it, doesn't he look stupid and stupid?

But there are always some people in this world who can't see the wink clearly, for example, Su Dingfang, the idiot, rushed over.

Su Dingfang didn't mean that he couldn't see the situation clearly and deliberately made Zhang Nuo look bad. He was not a fool with low EQ like his master Li Jing. He really came here to study seriously.

No way, Zhang Nuo's status in his heart was too high.In his opinion, although Zhang Nuo didn't expect that he would have to go so far to get to the Byzantine Empire, but what can anyone do without a sage?

Zhang Nuo had never been to this place before, so how could he expect such a situation?

Well, now that I know it, I have gone so far in a circle, that Zhang Nuo must have a deep meaning, and must have his own ideas. Su Dingfang felt that he didn't see it, it means that he is not capable enough, so he must ask the teacher clearly. , and then he rushed towards Zhang Nuo resolutely.

Zhang Nuo looked at the "student" in front of him who was about the same age as him, and he also felt his head buzzing. Although he felt embarrassed for making such a big omission, but this matter is over. , he can't keep letting go.

But now Su Dingfang has to be serious and ask him to tell a bunch of reasons, and he has a headache. Of course he has reasons, but there are many things that he can't explain to Su Dingfang for the time being.

Do you want to tell him that I already know that the African continent is rich in mineral resources, so I want to explore the way?

Do I have to tell him that I already know that there are a lot of big and small countries in Europe, so I plan to go there to build a small base or something?

There are many things that Zhang Nuo can’t explain, because you can explain some of them, and when you reveal the more you know about the world, it’s a bit scary.

Moreover, even if we don't talk about the fact that Zhang Nuo knew the information but brought the expeditionary army into the ditch, there are many things that Zhang Nuo's purpose for going to Africa this time can't be said.

However, at this time, we can't show our timidity, let's make it up!

Zhang Nuo racked his brains and began to crazily break up with Su Dingfang,

"Ding Fang, you have to understand, what is the struggle between countries, in the final analysis is national power, and what is national power, the so-called minerals and population are the real foundation!"

"But the population can be accumulated slowly over time, but as for the minerals, even if our Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, how many years can we withstand our digging?"

"Who thinks too much of this?"

"So, instead of worrying about those things when the time comes, why not start preparing for the future now, do you know how to prepare?"

"It's very simple, the bigger the territory, the more minerals!"

"We really don't know where there are minerals. But we are not stupid. If there is more land in this area, there will be more minerals. Even if the land that is robbed has only one mine, it will be profitable for Datang, right?"

"Not to mention that Datang sees that the population will increase in the future. There is only so much land here, and it will definitely not be enough in the future. Therefore, even if the land we occupy has no minerals, it is a good plan to grow food! "

"So, Ding Fang, as a general, you don't have to think about these things, but as a commander, you have to understand that the military is an extension of politics, and a country relies on the military to achieve its own development and leap forward!"

"Then as a future commander of the army, you have to figure out that the biggest similarity and difference between a commander and a general is that both a general and a commander can win battles, but the commander can win more battles for the empire." Benefit!"

"Even an insignificant action is more important than winning a battle, understand?"

Su Dingfang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he is not the kind of person who is easily persuaded by others.

However, this kind of people are often very quick to accept things that they are interested in, or things that are opposite to their own values.

It's like when people reach a certain age and have been in society for a long time, the so-called chicken blood is useless to them. It sounds like they still have to doze off, but if you talk to them Interesting topics, such as fishing, cars, and health care, as long as you get it right, good guy, that guy listens more positively than what you say.

At this time, Su Dingfang heard something he was interested in!

In fact, as a general, he is not only qualified but excellent, but he still doesn't know the difference between a commander and a general, why some people can be commanders and others can only be generals.

And Zhang Nuo's words today can be regarded as completely explaining the matter to him, and because of this, it can be regarded as just right for him, and the effect is simply amazing.

After Zhang Nuo fooled Su Dingfang away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Perhaps it was because this was the reason for his last expedition, or perhaps it was because the journey this time was too far, anyway, Zhang Nuo felt that his condition was not very good.

It's not like I haven't seen a big scene in the past, but at that time, I just went to the battlefield, but I didn't feel anything, like a fool and bold, without any extra thoughts. When I first went to the battlefield, it was like going back to my own home. There is no discomfort at all.

But obviously I have seen it so many times, but after returning to the Persian Empire, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and even a little nervous.

Zhang Nuo himself didn't know why. He said it was hard to leave his homeland. He didn't fight wars outside his house in the past. He said it was war syndrome. He didn't get angry or depressed.

After thinking about it, Zhang Nuo still felt that he should be thinking about going out for the last time this time, so he was too hypocritical.

But forget it!

Looking at the busy construction site across the river, Zhang Nuo felt that since this was the last expedition, let's have a beautiful ending.

Speaking of which, the Persian Empire has played a lot in the game, but I don’t know what kind of different scenery he can see this time. He is looking forward to the other party’s serious tricks, which can be regarded as the entrance of the game. The best experience in reality!

Chapter 1007 Persian Invasion

When Zhang Nuo came out this time, the system warehouse was naturally full!

He still dared not take the risk of resupplying all the way without establishing a complete global supply system and a proper transportation system.

After all, this year is not the time when there are countries everywhere in later generations, and everyone has business contacts. There are too many places where birds are uninhabited on the earth today.

Even many prosperous commercial ports in later generations are not even a small fishing village at this time.

Then, if there is no way to carry out commercial and trade supplies on the spot, there are only two ways left for the Datang Expeditionary Fleet. One is to go ashore to hunt and pump water by yourself, so as to fill the fleet's huge demand for supplies and water resources. The other way is, That's where Zhang Nuo is.
