Deng Zilong's words, Chen Mu didn't know what to do.

He smiled and said: "Chen doesn't mean this, the Beiyang Flag Army personally drills for Chen, I know best what kind of talent they have, these good men can fight against any army in the world in land warfare." ”

"Everyone knows that the Western Kingdom is strong and prosperous, and a few years ago, its soldiers could take root in Luzon, which was 90,000 miles away, and command almost all the princes except Europa, England and France, and they could be called overlords."

"The imperial court established the Oriental military government and wanted to take Asia; In order to take Asia, Spain must move this roadblock. The Beiyang Banner Army was born because of this, and chose the two capitals in the north and south and recruited the children of the Liangjia in Liaodong to recruit and train - they were born to clean up the overlord. ”

"When I say that Spain is better than land and shorter than naval wars, this does not mean that our land division is weaker than him, or that our navy is better than him, and that our heavenly army is stronger than him regardless of land and water, but it is only that we suffer losses in land battles."

"The huge artillery of the western ship is scarce, and there are a lot of troops, and a big war ship carrying 2500 troops is considered less, if the land battle is not reached, and Shao Tingda is not returned, our army will need 5,000 troops against the enemy's 9,000 or even more."

"If it is a naval battle, one hundred households of our department can let the 500 warships loaded with eighteen guns give full play to their due combat power, and win more artillery than less artillery, and more ships than fewer ships."

Chen Mu said, looked at Deng Zilong and said: "It is my general's responsibility to minimize the casualties of the soldiers and achieve victory, it is very important to win, and it is more important to win beautifully." ”

Deng Zilong wanted to say: I just complained!

Deng Zilong also wanted to say: What you say is what you say!

But Deng Zilong could only say: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Spain, or the Habsburgs, were not just maritime hegemons, they were in fact European hegemons, and were the only families after Charlemagne and before Napoleon that could unify Europe.

The huge territory and sphere of influence bring the possibility of a strong fleet, but its naval warfare idea is an extension of land warfare, Western-style warships are not warships, but sea fortresses, if it is not for the Three Kingdoms period of the building ships on the Yangtze River will capsize due to strong winds, Philip must have liked the kind of warships that can carry thousands of troops.

Deng Zilong was ordered to leave, and tonight all the warships entered the harbor except for the coastal guards, and most of the flag troops could also rest on the shore.

In this era, the space on the ship has always been terrible small, except for the Liujia ship, which has only 200 troops and almost no broadside capacity with the same tonnage, the remaining sixty percent of the seamen on the ship have no cabin.

Although there is a narrow bed on the gun window that Chen Mu imitates a sleeper that can pull down the narrow bed, but due to the length of the flag army, they can't even stretch their legs, and most people choose to sleep on the deck next to the artillery, and only sleep on the ground for two days when their backs hurt before they go to rest on it for a night.

In all fairness, the treatment of the sailors of the Ming Army was already the best among the ships that Chen Mu had ever seen, like the warships of Spain and Portugal, Chen Mu would never be able to figure out where they would sleep just by looking at it.

After all, the entire ship is less than 20% of the treatment of people.

Navy Admiral Deng Zilong had just stopped, and Yang Tingxiang and Zou Yuanbiao came together in the station, Yang Tingxiang was quite normal, with a little pride and enough respect on his face, and he signed up at the door of the tent.

Zou Yuanbiao is also normal, but he always has that kind of giggle like a nobody, which is not very likable, although it can be seen that he is very happy.

This person is very strange, as if Chen Mu makes him happy in everything he does.

"Marshal, General Deng just left, saying that you are ready to fight Xiyi on the sea?"

Chen Mu had just nodded, and Yang Tingxiang answered: "Why don't you be here, just divide the winners and losers in the two bays outside the port?" ”

There are two bays in Acapulco, the main bay in the north is large, and there is a bay about two miles apart in the south, which is only one or two miles longitudinal and horizontal, regardless of whether the Western army or the Ming army fleet can't spread out over there, needless to say, what Yang Tingxiang said must be a decisive battle in the main bay.

"Why?"

"The enemy's troops coming south are bound to ride the wind, the bow of the enemy's ship is low, and our troops will inevitably go against the wind when they engage in a battle outside the bay, and the ship speed is slower and easier for the enemy to take advantage of, and once it is touched, it will be difficult to win."

"It's different in the bay, the wind is light and the waves are weak, the western ship is huge and heavy, the speed of the ship is not as good as mine, the artillery is not as good as mine, and if you can't catch up, you can only be beaten."

Yang Tingxiang was confident, holding a letter in his hand to retract his sleeves and said: "The small bay on the north side of the bay can be ambushed by fireboats, and there are many ships in our army, and there are more craftsmen, and within a few days, the craftsmen can change seventeen or eighteen fireboats." ”

"Another naval division will be deployed on the north side of the bay, and when the war in the bay arises, the bay will be blocked from the periphery, and the fireships will be killed when the enemy army is in a dilemma, and the enemy can be thrown into chaos in one fell swoop."

Chen Muzheng wanted to say that there were so many sailors on the Spanish ship, and if the ship went crazy, what should I do if the ship ran aground on the beach and attacked the land, so he saw Yang Tingxiang presenting the letter in his hand.

The young civil and military generalist said: "If the enemy's dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the craftsmen of our Ordnance Bureau can make mines for the commander, and place them on the coast where they are easy to land. ”

"Whenever his ship lands, bomb him for a while, and then hand it over to General Lin and discipline him if he comes back or not."

It's ideal.

However, Chen Mu looked at Yang Tingxiang's confident appearance, and still approved: "You can let the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau prepare like this, and if the enemy army enters the port, they will do so, but there will always be accidents in war, and the plan may not be able to catch up with the rapidly changing battle situation." ”

After that, he asked Zou Yuanbiao, who was following behind, "The Anmin notice has been written?" ”

"Go back to the marshal, come to the hand, and choose to translate the flag army and read it next to the notice." Saying that, Zou Yuanbiao arched his hand and said: "From tomorrow onwards, I will receive the subordinate officials to organize the people and Qingzhang fields, and each family will divide the fields according to Dingkou for 50 to 200 mu, 30 taxes and 1, and the remaining 29 landlords and the government will each have half of them, which will be rent, and only one tax will be paid after three years." ”

"I know that the imperial court may not rule here for a long time, but Asia will always be governed by the imperial court, and it is not a bad thing to clear the acres of land first, and the students also want to follow the example of their ancestors here, compiling the Yellow Book of Enlistment and Xinglijia."

Not to mention, Chen Mu felt that this Zou Yuanbiao had a belief in his heart, and he never thought about whether the expedition to Asia would fail, and he didn't even think about whether the Ming army would retreat here, and he couldn't wait to try his skills here.

Immediately after Zou Yuanbiao, he also took out the letter and presented it, saying: "The students set eight things, making up household registration, acreage fields, dividing fields, establishing ancestral halls, repairing city gods, setting up social studies, digging ditches, and building agricultural machinery. ”

Chen Mu wrote the letter, raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes to look at Zou Yuanbiao and said, "What, are you going to be the county magistrate of A County here?" ”

"No, can't you?"

Zou Yuanbiao's smile stopped because of Chen Mu's words, these things he did were indeed not made by Chen Mu, his subjective initiative was very strong, and he did it himself.

Hearing Chen Mu's words, he paused, and suddenly his eyes rolled and said, "Dashuai, the student wants to do it...... Moxian County Order! ”
