There's going to be a war!

The atmosphere of the mountain rain is about to come, and the city of Guangzhou is the most obvious.

In just half a month, Nanyangwei purchased more than 20,000 stone of military rations from the surrounding areas of Guangcheng, and also purchased more than 50,000 stones from the Guangzhou government, as well as soldiers and horses mobilized from all over the country to rub military rations in Guangcheng.

Not to mention, first Chen Mu hit the Liangguang Governor's Mansion with a handbook, followed by a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses, not only Lu Bo, but even Yu Dayou, who had just returned from victory in Guangxi, was shocked.

No one is a fool, as soon as Fanyi entered Kou Lingdingyang some time ago, the common people could guess who Chen Shuai was going to fight.

The sand table in the war room of the Chen Mansion has been piled up in the shape of a map of Manila, but due to insufficient intelligence, it cannot be accurately stacked on the surrounding mountains, but fortunately, Manila is in the harbor, and there is no need for them to run long distances after docking.

"But this is precisely the most dangerous place, the harbor is held by the north and south shores, and the two islands in the middle, which is the first line of defense that we need to break through, and we may encounter a large number of enemy ships and gunboats in the big harbor." Chen Mu raised his hand to Manila and said, "In addition, Li Yuxi, a businessman who often travels to and from Luzon, said that there are many forts on the shore of Manila, and there are villages along the way. ”

"Guangdong has three fleet-level Nanyangwei, hundreds of small shark ships, hundreds of Dafu ships, and Guangzhou ships. I think so, leave a fleet and the Nanyang Wei Xiaosha ship to guard the Nanyang, Lingdingyang and the coast of Guangdong, this matter should invite Yu Shuai and Lu Shuai to sit in charge, I don't know the two predecessors? ”

Yu Dayou and Lu Bo are rare experts in the naval battle of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that no one in the land battle can be stronger than Yu Dayou at this time, since these two old generals are here, Chen Mu will definitely not let them rest.

Lu Bo didn't say much, and nodded in response.

He hadn't seen Chen Mu in the past, but he had been friends for a long time, and the Guangdong Martial Arts Navy Academy was established by him with the letters and chapters sent by Chen Mu from the Xuanfu, and he was very curious about Chen Mu. Even if there are those teaching materials, when I invited the veteran Zhishi to teach him in the past, he was also experienced in a hundred battles, but he couldn't understand anything like surveying and mapping, but it was easy to understand anything else.

Just like the Navy Section, it doesn't pay attention to fire battles and jump battles, it highly respects artillery battles, it is full of wealth and wealth, where to find so many guns on the key, and the big artillery lucky ship can burn high incense if it can carry four guns!

But when I went to Nanyangwei, it was easy for a ship to carry ten cannons of all sizes.

The tactics of war, although heretical, are useful.

Yu Dayou smiled and said: "The old man has only been idle for a few days, and Chen Shuai has found something for Yu to do, rest assured, Yu will not let Lu Yi drag Chen Shuai back." ”

Guangdong has to guard against no one else, the Portuguese and the Japanese.

"Thanks to the two seniors, with two of them in charge, Guangdong can sit back and relax."

Chen Mu said, pointed in the direction of Hong Kong Island and said: "The vanguard soldiers and horses, Chen wants to divide the troops into three roads, I go all the way, General Chen leads the battalion all the way, and General Bai leads the Guangdong Guards all the way." ”

This is the point, Chen Lan arched his hand and said: "Chen will live up to the trust!" ”

Bai Yuanjie clenched his fists and didn't speak, he was thinking, where is his ship? There are a total of three fleets, one is left in Guangdong, one is led by Chen Lan, and Chen Mu will not fly over by himself, but Chen Mu does not fly, so he just wants him to fly over?

"General Chen led a fleet with two purposes, one of which was to land on the coast of the mountainous harbor in the western part of Manila Bay, unload the baggage, set up a fortified place at a dangerous place, and defeat the enemy if there was an enemy, otherwise he would march east to Manila."

"Second, we should use the fleet to protect the ships that transport the baggage, sweep away all the warships and merchant ships with Spanish crosssails on the sea, ensure that the route is safe, and at the same time transport the subordinates of the white commander to this place."

Bai Yuanjie closed his eyes, yes, the boats were all built by Lao Tzu, and the war made Lao Tzu rub the boat.

Chen Lan opened his mouth and asked, "How far is this port from Manila?" ”

Chen Mu looked at Li Yuxi, a businessman sitting on the edge, and said: "One hundred and eighty miles, but the place is remote, and they are all local people, and there are very few Xiyi." ”

"If this is one hundred and eighty miles, why not land on the belly of Manila, it is not difficult to detour along the coast of the sea." Chen pointed to the east shore of Manila and said, "This looks like it's only a hundred miles away." ”

Chen Mu smiled when he saw it, he also wanted to land from there at first, this time he didn't need Li Yuxi to speak, he said: "Because there is no road, there are mountains and jungles in between, and the variables are too great, it is better to walk one hundred and eighty miles, at least there is a road, and there is only one, there is a guide who is familiar with the terrain, and you will not get lost." ”

"Brother doesn't have to be in a hurry, as long as he can get faster than the Spanish reinforcements coming from other places."

As soon as Chen Mu's words came out, Bai Yuanjie and the others changed color, listening to the meaning of Chen Mu's words, they were going to take Manila alone!

"This is too risky, how can a fleet take a city?"

It was Chen Lan who spoke.

"Don't worry, if Manila's city defense batteries are too powerful, I will try my best to destroy the enemy's port ships and retreat to the north coast, as long as I withdraw more than ten miles, their batteries will not be able to hit me, it really can't work, go fifty miles north and wait for your large forces to converge on the shore, but it's better - take Manila directly in one go."

"And don't underestimate my fleet, I have the Red Sea, there are dogs leftover, and the big ships of the Spaniards are just Clark galleons like the big black ships, most of them are smaller than the dogs, and the cannons are not as many as mine, and the three big ships may not be able to beat my two ships."

When Chen Mu called out the name of the ship, Deng Zilong pouted and turned his head away, and the joy of winning the vanguard battle suddenly disappeared with the shameful name of the ship.

Although the name of the ship is not good, what Chen Mu said is still reasonable, the largest gunboat Chihai and the only iron-clad battleship in the entire Guangdong Navy Division are in Chen Mu's hands, and no ship will be the opponent of those two sea monsters one-on-one.

Moreover, Chen Mu knew that his Chihai was not the largest ship in the world, and the Spaniards' modified version of the Carrick sailing ship had also appeared, but in East Asia, there was no warship that could match the Chihai.

Because the Ottoman Empire was forming a holy alliance with Spain, Venice, and the Pope at sea.

"At the beginning of the war, we will win every day, there is no doubt about it. But then most of the war fell into a tug-of-war, and our sea capacity, baggage supplies, and warships will determine whether we can completely liberate Luzon from the Spaniards! ”

"We don't count what ships Longjiang Shipyard will build, but the big ships and small shark ships of Xiangshan Shipyard must speed up the progress. By the way, in the past few days, I have painted the dog's leftover iron shell and dyed it into a wood color, so that people don't see it and learn it from others. ”

Deng Zilong's face was even more deflated, even if the name was not good, the captain was still ugly, flat and flat, and the iron paint was still lost when he was finished, and the cannons and troops were less than those of ships of the same size...... Well, there seems to be no other advantages other than being beaten.

After explaining the war, Chen Mu gave the last order, on the last day of the end of May, he gave a banquet for the whole army, and then he got up and paced, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he bowed slowly.

"In the era of navigation of the Ming Dynasty, I began to wait for the departure of Hong Kong and the southern expedition. I am fortunate to be able to go down in history with all of you, and Chen is a supreme glory! ”
