The Dutch were mainly powerful in the navy, and as a sea hegemon, they accumulated a lot of experience.In the battleship fire, the Dutch's naval guns had a much higher hit rate than the Donghai Town Naval Division.As a result, a Dutch warship could defeat more than two warships of the same size as Donghai Town, which made Zhao Ming more cautious about starting a war.After all, today, Donghai Town is financially dependent on commodity trade, grain and various production raw materials, mainly from Taiwan and Nanyang, and the economy of the Jiangdong region is very dependent on overseas trade.If Tokai Town could not defeat the Dutch quickly, the war would drag on and affect the maritime trade, which would be a fatal blow to Tokai Town's economy.At that time, Dutch warships attacked merchant ships at sea, and Taiwan's grain and various production materials from the South Seas could not be transported to Jiangdong, which would inevitably cause prices in Jiangdong to skyrocket, and the maritime trade routes would be blocked, and the goods produced by the various workshops in Jiangdong would not be able to be sold, which would cause the factories to go bankrupt and cause tens of thousands of employees to lose their jobs.In this way, Donghai Town will inevitably be unable to carry on the war, which will eventually lead to a tiger's nest.Therefore, in this battle, Tokai Town must be swept through the South Seas in one go, just like Japan.Previously, Zhao Ming was not sure about this, but now the flowering bomb is equipped with the main warship, which gives Zhao Ming the confidence to quickly defeat the Dutch.Zhao Ming issued a military order, and then looked at Zhou Daji, a thousand households of the Tun army who came to report the news, and said in a deep voice: "Taiwan is the territory of the feudal domain, and this town will immediately raise troops, you immediately return to Tamsui and inform Zhang Zhongjian." ”Zhao Ming then said to Gu Yanwu, the senator of the shogunate: "Command the army, pack up, prepare to go, and then go to recruit Chen Mingyu, Wang Yi, and Wang Chao to come to Baoshan to see me first!"
”Wang Yi and Wang Chao were in Jiading County first, got the news, and immediately rushed to Baoshan.In the first battle of Jiangbei, after Li Zhongming and Wang Deshun were defeated, the five commanders of the five armies of Shence were left, and only Wang Yi, Wang Chaoxian, and Xie Qian were left.Now Xie Qian is in Liaodong and the Qing army is in a tug-of-war, and only Wang Yi and Wang Chaoxian are left in Jiangdong.At this time, the two came to the barracks, walked quickly to the tent, and saluted Zhao Ming on one knee, "See the Prime Minister!"
”"You don't have to be polite!"
Zhao Ming ordered the two of them to get up, and then instructed: "This town has decided to lead the fleet to the south, and there are two things that are not very worrying, so the two of you are invited to come!"
”"What does the prime minister command, and a certain one must obey it!"
The two generals clenched their fists, and their armor rattled.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "First, the Qing army is attacking Liaodong, Xie Qian only has 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and the combat strength of the Korean army is worrying. ”Wang Yi immediately said: "What does the Prime Minister mean, if Commander Xie is in an emergency, we will support immediately?"
”Zhao Ming shook his head, "Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers.Besides, even if you wait for reinforcements, it is impossible to defeat the Manchus. ”Now the Ming and Qing dynasties truce, the Qing army attacked Liaodong, and with the strength of Donghai Town, even if the troops in Liaodong were increased, and there was another great victory in Shenyang, it would not be able to hold Shenyang, and it would not be able to completely defeat the Manchus.Wang Chaoxian exclaimed: "Is the prime minister going to give up Liaodong?"
”Zhao Ming shook his head again, "The meaning of this town is not to send elite troops to aid Liao, but the Liaodong battlefield is a place to sharpen knives, and the new army can be dispatched to take turns to go into battle, sharpen on the battlefield, and see blood, so as to quickly form combat power."
If the war is not going well, don't force it, just keep Lushun!
”Lushun is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the Qing army's naval division was destroyed by Zhao Ming, and it can only be attacked from the north, Donghai Town is easy to defend, and the energy source is constantly supplied from the sea, and it is difficult for the Qing army to conquer it, and the Qing army will transport military rations from outside the pass and through the Liaoxi corridor, which will also become a serious burden for the Manchu Qing.Wang Yi and Wang Chao nodded and clenched their fists first, "I understand my humble position!"
”Zhao Ming looked at the two of them, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the two of you, why didn't this town let you send elite troops to help Liao?"
”Wang Yi and Wang Chao first glanced at each other, their faces suddenly became serious, and they said, "I understand my humble duties!"
”After Wang Chao finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ming, hesitated, and asked: "The prime minister is not in Jiangdong, if he takes the initiative to provoke and wants to send troops into Jiangdong, how will he deal with it?"
”Zhao Ming's face showed murderous aura, and a word came out of his mouth, "Fight!"
”After speaking, he added: "From today onwards, it is strictly forbidden for any army to enter the Jiangdong territory, if anyone dares to cross the border, this town has only one military order for you and others, and the town will be directly annihilated, don't have any scruples!"
”"Obedience!"
The two glanced at each other, had a bottom in their hearts, and solemnly clenched their fists.A day later, the 15,000 troops assembled by Baoshan were ready.This time, Zhao Ming dispatched 100 warships, 9,000 naval troops, and more than 6,000 land divisions, preparing to blitz the Netherlands.When the army was about to set off, Chen Mingyu and others rushed from Suzhou.At this time, by the Huangpu River, at Baoshan Wharf, the army was boarding the ship, and the people carried boxes of shells onto the warships.Zhao Ming and Chen Mingyu, as well as a group of backbones of the National Socialist Party, strolling along the riverside, Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "This town has instructed Wang Yi and Wang Chaoxian, the two generals, Liaodong and Jiangdong, to focus on Jiangdong.Now the imperial court has obvious intentions to cut the domain, and the imperial court is now trying its best to suppress the prince and the Zhejiang army, although it is unlikely to provoke this town, but this town is not in Jiangdong, I am afraid that someone in the imperial court will faint.After the southern expedition of this town, Mr. must be vigilant and not let Jiangdong lose!
”"The Prime Minister can rest assured, and the rest of the people will keep it in mind!"
Chen Mingyu nodded.Zhao Ming stopped, turned to look at everyone, and then said slowly: "In this way, this town will entrust Jiangdong to the monarchs." ”"Yu will definitely live up to the trust of the prime minister!"
Chen Mingyu, Huang Zongxi and others were serious.Zhao Ming bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, so that this town can rest assured that it will go out and lay a foundation for the East China Sea Domain overseas." ”An hour later, a hundred warships full of soldiers and military resources, anchored and hoisted their sails, and went east along the river.Zhao Ming went out on the expedition, the army went to sea, such a big movement, naturally it could not be hidden from all forces.There are hundreds of huge ships on the Yangtze River, the hull covers the river, the sails are like clouds, mighty and magnificent.On the small hill on the shore, several Manchurians with turbans wrapped in turbans and nets on their heads watched the fleet go down the river, led by a man with a fierce face, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zamao went to sea, it is the perfect time for me to recover Liaodong and sweep away North Korea, and immediately report to the imperial court." ”In another place, several Jinyi guards watched Yang Fan of the fleet go away, and the person at the head also said: "Zhao Guogong went to sea and reported to Your Majesty quickly." ”()
