**********************************************
The sea in February is like a girl's carcass, with undulating waves, moving curves, and delicate and silky. The wind that turns from time to time is more like a girl's temper, which makes people wonder through.
The rain and clouds on the sea are open, the sun shines through the sea of clouds, sprinkled on the sea, the golden light jumps, and the stars are ten thousand points.
Ying Cai'er, the female medical officer who accompanied the expedition of the army, was dressed in white clothes and fluttering, standing on the bow of the boat and singing a song of water blue and water blue, the song has the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, floating to the sea with the wind, the sea waves are surging, the sea is singing gulls, and they respond to each other, like fairy music drifting away.
Hai Rufeng heard the singing and walked out of the cabin, and saw Sun Shisan and the others staring blankly at Ying Cai'er at the bow of the boat, and was so intoxicated that Ha Tingzi flowed to the ground.
"Damn, Lao Tzu said why is our ship so slow, and my feelings are about to be drowned." Hai Rufeng kicked Sun Shisan's buttocks, and then tilted his neck and said to Cai'er, "Cai'er, come and help me take a look." ”
Ying Cai'er turned around and asked, "General Hai, what's wrong with you?" Ying Cai'er is like a little jasper, and her gentle temperament makes the men on the battleship drunk.
"Cai'er, how many times have I told you, don't call me a general, just call Brother Hai." Hai Rufeng rubbed his neck, twisted his eyebrows and said, "I don't know what happened last night, my neck hurts when I sleep when I move, Cai'er help me see what's going on." ”
"Oh, it may be a stiff neck, I'll go get some hot water to help Brother Hai dress." Ying Cai'er's voice is as sweet as her singing.
"Hey, then there's Lao Cai'er."
Sun 13 lost his voice and said: "Hey, general, you were obviously fine when you left the cabin just now, why did your neck crooked when you saw Miss Cai'er?" ”
Ying Cai'er was just about to go to the back cabin to ask for hot water, and listened to Sun Shisan's words. couldn't help but glance at Hai Rufeng, and if he realized, his pretty face blushed slightly.
Hai Rufeng's old face couldn't help but turn red, and said embarrassedly: "Cai'er, don't listen to his nonsense, my neck just hurts faintly when I get up in the morning, so I don't pay much attention to it, but the longer it goes by, the more it hurts, so I cough up, Sun Thirteen." The fish in the bilge hasn't been processed yet, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and scrape the scales and disembowel, so that you can make dinner! ”
"No, General, are you mistaken, the small one is the artillery commander, and he has to go into battle at any time."
"Scraping fish scales is also a battle, do you dare to disobey?"
"Don't dare. Can't! Sun 13 knew that he had stabbed his son, and hurriedly ran to the bilge.
Ying Cai'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "Brother Hai, does your neck really hurt?" ”
"It hurts, it hurts. Cai'er, I really didn't lie to you, it hurt me. ”
"It hurts so much, you can't use hot water. I'll ask Sister Feng to help you rub it, she has a lot of strength. ”
"Ahh Don't it hurt so much, it doesn't hurt so much. "The sea is like the wind, and he is busy waving his hand. Sister Feng is in her thirties, and she still looks like that.
"Hee-hee!" Cai'er chuckled and walked away.
Looking at General Hai's annoyed appearance, the soldiers couldn't help but let out a strange laugh The voyage on the sea is boring, and the fluttering shadow of the female medical officer accompanying the army undoubtedly adds a lot of happiness to the boring voyage, and has an unexpected effect on maintaining morale.
On the vast sea, 600 warships, large and small, were mighty, cleaving the waves, and the black sails were connected into a large dark cloud.
At the northern tip of Luzon, Spanish Navy Captain Thomas sailed out of the port of Calcoyan with two large Flagada-class warships.
The sea was calm, and Thomas smoothed the wrinkles in his uniform, making it look more straight.
His soldiers made him a cup of tea from China, and Thomas took a sip and took a copy of the battle plan from the drawer to look at it carefully.
This battle plan was formulated by the Philippine governor, bishop, and senior generals in the Philippines after many discussions and repeated studies before formulating the battle plan for the conquest of China, which is roughly as follows:
1. Operational Objectives:
政zhì: Conquer China, establish a global empire, and become the king of kings.
Military: Conquer China, use China as a base, and develop into other parts of Asia. Then, with Chinese manpower and war resources, he supported the European native army to attack the enemy in Northern Europe and control the island of the world.
Religion: Conquer China, negotiate peace with the northern Tatars, advance from China, and instead attack the Oroman Muslim Empire, which hindered trade between East and West, and enter the Holy Land of Archbishop Maristan.
Economy: Conquer China, develop China's rich resources, and transplant Chinese manpower to develop colonial causes, such as the migration of Chinese to North and South America through the Pacific Ocean, save the Spanish Empire's economic crisis, and consolidate the vast territory of Spanish America from the covetousness of northern European countries.
Culture: Converting the Chinese to Catholicism. The introduction of a comprehensive Western-style education (from an early age) will allow them to accept and identify with Spanish culture and develop a sense of greater Spanish national identity.
Second, the combat policy:
The Imperial Naval Fleet was to control Japan, Taiwan, Legushi and the islands on the mainland as a landing springboard.
The naval and land forces of the Jiajiayan Port strategic base at the northern tip of Luzon in the Philippines attacked and landed in Jingzhou and Macao. The former is the main attacker.
Conquer the mainland before China and the Odoran Empire join forces, and then develop China in preparation for future invasion of the Holy Land.
Third, the organization of troops.
Supreme Commander: General of the Western Army. Army: Governor of the Philippines: Commander of the Navy of Cigas.
The Spanish Army marched in with 10,000 to 12,000 troops (including Italian and Allied soldiers).
Recruit 5,000 to 6 elite soldiers from Japan.
Bizaja (Filipino natives).
Four ships of Spanish Portuguese prisoners and other European expeditionary exiles.
Five hundred slaves in the Americas.
Total: 25,000 cadres. Reinforcements will be provided if necessary.
Navy: Commander Garrison Governor. Ten to twelve large warships of the Fragada class. A number of transport ships.
Fourth, joint service.
Military spending: 200,000 pesos, additional depending on the situation of the war.
Weapons: In addition to the weapons and equipment carried by the Western Army, 500 helmets, quite dry guns, and a number of cannons. (Maximum can be applied to all kinds of ammunition).
Ammunition supply: Establishment of an arms factory in the Philippines. Locally sourced materials to make gunpowder for attacks and landings, and purchased saltpeter and brass from Chinese merchants.
Food supplies: For Feilubin, 80,000 catties of rice, meat, fish, and wine were hoarded, which was enough to sustain the navy and army to complete the landing operation.
Clothing supplies: Purchased nylon from the Americas to make coats for soldiers and blankets for the wounded
5. Psychological Warfare: Focus: Replacing Colonial Policy and Catholicism with Catholicism.
This battle plan for the conquest of China has been formulated for a long time, and King Philip II also set up a special commission in Madrid to further discuss policy, strategy, tactics, course of action, logistical mobilization, and public opinion. A detailed plan for an attack on China was reviewed and drawn up, and the final approval of the Tong Guò was made.
After reading it, Thomas couldn't help but sigh, what a grand and perfect plan this is!
Unfortunately, in the same year that Philip II approved this plan, the Spanish Armada was defeated by the British Navy, and this grand battle plan was put on hold, which made Thomas feel extremely regretful.
He was pondering the possibility of restarting the plan when an alarm suddenly sounded from the battleship, and the sailors shouted that they had spotted a large number of warships of unknown origin.
Thomas, as the commander, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stuffed the battle plan in his hand into the drawer, took the telescope and walked out of the cabin quickly.
Almost at the same time, the lookout posts on the high masts of the Great Qin Royal Navy fleet also sounded a whining alarm, and the naval soldiers on the deck who were leisurely basking in the sun jumped up one after another when they heard the sound and quickly rushed to their combat posts, and the ship was full of shouts.
On the sea level in the distance, two Westerner warships jumped out, and judging from the flag, the white flag was painted with a big red cross, which was undoubtedly the Spanish warship.
Zheng Sihai sent an order in the language of the flag, asking the ninth battalion of Hai Rufeng and the tenth battalion of Wang Guichen to meet together.
According to the establishment of the Daqin Navy, each battalion has 2 sentry posts, with a total of 510 people. It is equipped with two gunboats, eight medium and small eagle boats and bluff boats, and is equipped with 4 Hongyi cannons, 40 thousand-pound franc machine guns, 30 bowl-mouth guns (small artillery), and 500 guns.
The two battalions of men and horses, that is, 20 large and small warships, met the Spanish warships on the left and right, especially those eagle ships, bluff ships, and sand boats, and the speed was as fast as wolves leaping over the sea.
Thomas, on the other side, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the dark cloud-like fleet chopping waves from the telescope, oh my God! Where did so many warships come from?
"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle! ”
