Chapter 433: Seeking Luzon


Ma Shiao's words made many staff and henchmen discuss, and after thinking about it carefully, they knew that it was indeed the case.This time, the Qing army took the opportunity to clear Shandong and Liaodong, and removed the threat of Donghai Town to Beijing and Guanwai, and the Manchus were able to devote more energy to the south.At this time, the overall strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty was too strong, at least it was able to crush Zhao Ming.In addition, stimulated by Zhao Ming, the Manchus colluded with the Dutch and began to train sailors and train new armies, and with the manpower and material resources of the Manchu Qing, the speed of training of the new army would not be much slower than Zhao Ming.With the current technology, Donghai Town has not been able to create more advanced equipment that can be installed on a large scale, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has the help of the Dutch, Donghai Town has flintlock muskets, field artillery, the Manchus can also have, Donghai Town will be difficult to crush the Qing army in equipment, so the future will mainly depend on the national strength, and what the situation is, it is really hard to say.Compared with internal worries, it is much easier to deal with external troubles, just thinking about it for a while, Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty threatens me, there are two, one of which is the Manchu Qing Dynasty has seven points in the world, and the manpower and material resources are far superior to mine.Second, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has the help of Hongmaoyi, which may make the advantage of my firearms disappear!

”"Dashuai hit the nail on the head!"

Ma Shiao arched his hand.Zhao Ming touched his short beard, and said with confidence: "In Ben Shuai's opinion, both of these can be contained.Now let's talk about the manpower and material resources of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchus came to China, and they did not dare to make China's strength to the fullest.The reason for this, for the Manchurians, can be said to be a dilemma.If it does its best to exert China's strength, it will inevitably need to reuse the Han people, and the reuse of the Han people will inevitably make the Manchu power fall and the power will be controlled by the Han people.Therefore, in order to control the power and maintain the power of the Manchus, it will not make the Han people stronger than the Manchus in the Qing court, so it is difficult to exert the power of China.However, in the current situation, if the Han people are not reused, it will be difficult to resist the counterattack of the Ming Dynasty.What is the marshal's words?

”Ma Shiao, Chen Mingyu and others couldn't help but bow their heads, Chen Mingyu said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty was indeed like this before, but now that the situation is compelling, the Manchu Qing Dynasty may not be static!"

”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "As the Ming Dynasty becomes stronger, it is difficult for the Manchurians to deal with the situation, so they will inevitably reuse the Han people and borrow the power of the Han people to fight against the Ming Dynasty."

Therefore, we must arouse the suspicion of the Manchus against the Han people, so that they dare not reuse the Han people, and always be wary of the Han people, so that although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has seven points of the world, it is difficult to give full play to the strength of three percent, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's advantages in manpower and material resources are difficult to give full play, and the commander will remove the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”Chen Mingyu pondered: "What is the plan of the handsome?

”Zhao Ming sneered: "Rebel against the generals of the green battalion!"

The Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to use China's strength to fight for the world, and the most important strategy was to expand the military strength of the Green Battalion and serve it.If the generals of the green battalion rebelled again and again, would the Manchus still dare to expand the green battalion?

If the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not expand the green camp, with only tens of thousands of eight banners, defeat would be doomed!

Therefore, for the fact that the Manchu Qing manpower and material resources are far superior to ours, you don't have to worry, the Manchu Qing will definitely not be able to exert and use all the power of China!

”The Manchu Dynasty was larger than Donghai Town and the Ming Dynasty, and if the Manchu Qing gave full play to China's manpower and material resources, recruited green battalions on a large scale, and expanded their military strength, the Ming Dynasty might not be able to compare, but Zhao Ming thought that the nature of the Manchu regime determined that they could not exert their full strength."

If the generals of the Green Battalion rebel one after another, the Manchus will inevitably strengthen their surveillance of the Han generals and dare not reuse the Han people."

Chen Mingyu nodded.Zhao Ming then said: "As for how to plot against the generals of the green battalion, it is necessary for the Heaven and Earth Society to screen and select targets, and this commander will not mention it for the time being." ”As he spoke, Zhao Ming took a sip of tea and continued: "Ben Shuai will talk about the benefits of firearms again.According to intelligence, the Manchu Han army was under the blue flag and was already equipped with flintlock muskets and field artillery, and this was all the credit of the Hongmaoyi and the Spaniards.Without the support of the Hongmaoyi and the Spaniards, Ben Shuai thought that the Manchu firearms would definitely be difficult to surpass us!

”When Chen Mingyu heard this, he frowned and said, "Does the marshal intend to drive away the Dutch and Spaniards and cut off their trade with the Manchus?"

”Zhao Ming bowed his head slightly and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

”Zhao Ming was quite shocked when he learned that the Manchus had trained the new army, equipped with flintlock muskets, field bronze cannons, and that the sailors had sailed the Dutch gunboats.Zhao Ming has always believed that the Manchus were a decadent, stubborn, backward, barbaric, and regressive regime, but in fact, if there were only these, it would be difficult for the Manchus to gain the world.At the beginning of the struggle for hegemony, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not stubborn, the Battle of Ningyuan, suffered the loss of the Hongyi cannon, so he learned the Ming Dynasty to cast the Hongyi cannon, and lost the war with Taiwan's Zheng Ming, so he formed an alliance with the Dutch to attack Taiwan, in order to fight for the world, the Manchu Qing is still very good at learning.This makes Zhao Ming have to be vigilant, now limited by smelting technology and lathe technology, he can't practice good iron, and he can't carry out precision processing without a lathe, and he can make more mature weapons at the moment, that is, flintlock pistols and various front cannons, if they all let the Manchu Qing learn to go, then Zhao Ming and Donghai Town will have no advantage.Therefore, Zhao Ming wanted to prevent the Manchus from obtaining advanced flintlock pistols and artillery from the Netherlands and Spain, so he wanted to drive the Netherlands out of Taiwan and Spain out of Luzon, and cut them off from the Manchus.Chen Mingyu said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, if you want to drive out the Spaniards and occupy Luzon, you have no opinion, but you will be very supportive."

Nowadays, the workshops in Susong are gradually resuming production, which requires a large amount of raw materials, and Donghai Town needs a place to grow grain, cotton and other crops in order to meet the consumption of Hudong. ”A very important reason for the collapse of society in the late Ming Dynasty was because of the silk weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River through smuggling trade.After earning a large amount of silver, and then, driven by interests, all localities changed grain to grow mulberry, rice and cotton, and then produced silk and cotton cloth, sold to Xiyi, and then earned a large amount of silver, and used the earned silver to buy domestic grain and other production resources, causing food prices to rise and make society unrestful.The rising grain prices are nothing to the smuggling traders in the south of the Yangtze River, but for the northern provinces, it is indeed an unstable factor, and it is usually fine, but in the event of a natural disaster, the other side cannot afford to eat food at all, and finally the society collapses.The smuggling trade of the Ming Dynasty was only exported in large quantities, but very little was imported, resulting in a serious lack of domestic resources.Zhao Ming heard what Chen Mingyu meant, and wanted to seek Luzon and become an economic colony, so he couldn't help but say: "Mr.

Chen doesn't support it, Ben Shuai started a war with the Dutch." ”Chen Mingyu nodded and said: "The humble position has only recently figured out, and now it is still on the waterway, most of them are controlled by the Dutch, if Donghai Town starts a war with the Dutch, Su Songchang's goods can only be sold in Japan, Korea, and Annam, and even the Nanyang Islands can't go, let alone Tianzhu and Dashi." ”This made Zhao Ming groan for a while, Chen Mingyu was right, not to mention anything else, just that Malacca was in the hands of the Dutch, so Zhao Ming threw a mouse trap and did not dare to start a war easily.At this time, Zhao Ming was silent for a while."

The Netherlands can be left alone, the Spaniards in Luzon must be taken."

According to scouts, most of the Manchu flintlock muskets were made by the Spaniards in their workshops in Manila. ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe) ()
