The Jinyiwei's communication system in the continental region was very fast. It took less than two days before and after sending people to the Ming army base in the Eurasian Canal by Clippers. Therefore, on the third day after Zheng Chenggong arrived in Madrid, Zhu Cijing received his telegram.

There are many contents of telegrams, not only the problems of large shipyards and telegram lines, but Zheng Chenggong also mentioned the problems of Princess Maria.

Zhu Cijing didn't have to consider the issue of large shipyards, and he just made it right.

He originally proposed to build a large shipyard for Spain and Portugal with an annual output of 100 super battleships. He did not want to limit them to produce only 100 super battleships a year, but was afraid that they would not be able to build more.

You should know that shipbuilding is not only a shipyard, but also workers and materials. Spain and Portugal do not rely on colonies to supply, and even the materials of a hundred super battleships are a problem, let alone the workers, whose population is not on the same order of magnitude as the Ming Dynasty.

It was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to collect skilled workers who produced 400 super battleships a year. He thought that it was the limit for Spain and Portugal to collect skilled workers who produced 100 super battleships a year. He never thought that Philip IV wanted to build 200 more ships a year.

It would be nice to build 200 ships a year. In this way, with the Ming and Portugal, the entire Ming Habsburg Alliance's annual production capacity of super battleships reached 700, which would definitely exceed the annual output of warships of the anti-Habsburg Alliance. This would make it obvious if the war of attrition was fought.

As for whether the Spanish navy will surpass the Ming Empire, Zhu Cijing was not worried at all. The Ming Dynasty is preparing to produce 400 super battleships a year. Besides, even if the production of Spanish super battleships increases, what if their population base is there. There are so many warships in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not as many navys as the Ming Dynasty!

Regarding the issue of telegraph lines, let alone, Zhu Cijiong had a plan to directly pull the telegraph lines to the Strait of Gibraltar through the Ottoman Empire’s colonies in North Africa, and then lay the bottom cable to pull the telegraph lines to Spain, connecting the telegraph lines there.

However, the telegraph line and the Eurasian Railway are planned together. Now the railway to the Holy Roman Empire has not been built, so the telegraph line in North Africa has not yet begun. He just extended the telegraph line to the Ming army base in the Eurasian Canal for communication convenience.

Now that the war with the anti-Habsburg alliance has begun, the telegraph line has become the most important communication tool, so naturally he can't wait any longer. He decided to send someone to lay the dedicated line to Spain immediately.

The question of Zheng Chenggong's desire to marry Princess Maria was even more surprising for Zhu Cijing. This kid is finally going to get married. It seems that he should be very satisfied with that Princess Maria, otherwise he would not be so eager to ask for instructions.

This is a good thing. Marriage was the most commonly used and most important means of communication between countries during this period. Zheng Chengyi took the initiative to marry the Spanish royal family and he naturally wanted to do so.

Not only do you have to agree with this kind of good thing, but you also have to take out something to be a betrothal gift. After all, Zheng Chenggong is his own brother. If he doesn't show that he seems stingy as a big brother, he doesn't seem to be a stingy person.

What should I use as a betrothal gift? Zhu Cijiu is really undecided for a while.

Is it money? It seems inappropriate. Zheng Chenggong is not short of money. He has to pay for him as a betrothal gift, so he is a little embarrassed.

What about other things? It seems that Zheng Chenggong lacks nothing, and it is really hard to think about taking out what he doesn’t have!

Just as he was thinking about what to use as a betrothal gift, Zheng Chenggong's second telegram arrived again.

This telegram was sent by someone after he beat Gaston. It was obvious that France was making trouble again.

Zhu Cijing was also angry after seeing the telegram. He was no, and every time he stayed behind to play conspiracies. He really thought the Ming Empire was made of mud!

They were not able to reach them before, but now they are in a good position. Zhu Cijiu decided to give them some colors!

He took out the map and looked carefully. A bold tactic suddenly appeared in his mind.

This tactic is actually the tactic used by Richelieu to deal with the Ming Dynasty. To put it simply, it is to bloom everywhere and make them overwhelmed.

Now, Zheng Chenggong is a point. Zhu Cijing is planning to make Zheng Chenggong rely on the base at the mouth of the Guadiana River to continuously attack the Gold Coast to consume the troops of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance.

Also, at the beginning of the year, he had plans to open up a new battlefield in North America, send the army directly to clear out the great powers there, which is another point.

In addition, the tactics of siege Wei and rescue Zhao proposed by Lu Xiangsheng and the tactics of harassment of small-scale elite troops proposed by Huang Long can also be implemented together. However, the tactics of siege Wei and rescue Zhao were implemented by the Spanish Army, and the Ming Dynasty only produced small-scale elite troops.

By the way, how could Spain hear the Ming Dynasty's attitude to attack southern France?

It's very simple. Didn't Zhu Cijiu think about the betrothal gift just now? He thought about it, which was to renovate all kinds of field howitzers from the three first-class legions and give them to Spain as betrothal gifts, with the condition that they were put on the stance to attack southern France.

Now the first-class legion has begun to change the Divine Power Cannons. Those howitzers can only be replaced by the second-class legion and the third-class legion. It is better to give it to Spain. Anyway, all legiones will have to be equipped with Divine Power Cannons in the future, so as to save trouble after all the exchanges.

As for the small number of elite troops, they were selected from the Guanning Army, Dongjiang Army and Dingliao Army. Each army selected 10,000 elite troops, so that they could continue to harass southern France with the support of the northern Spanish defense line. Anyway, their current task was to guard the forts and bastions at the mouth of the Guadiana River, and it didn't matter if they were to draw some people away.

In short, this point is to make the entire southern France uneasy, make them worried every day and have no good life.

Another point is the Siberian Plain, where there are five regular army corpses. Anyway, they are idle. After the ice and snow melt, they will be allowed to attack and threaten Tsarist Russia. If the great powers don’t care, they will come to the real world, step by step, and advance slowly; if the great powers come to support it, it will be just right. At least 200,000 or 300,000 more troops will be spent here, and the food, grass and supplies will be enough for them to drink a pot.

Also, the Eurasian Railway will be built into the Holy Roman Empire next year. At that time, the Ming Dynasty can directly send troops from land to threaten the Netherlands. The Dutch navy is very powerful, and the army is far from that. At that time, two or three legions will be sent to see what they do.

The protracted war is about consumption. The Ming Dynasty now has so many regular legions, and even if they are idle, they have to consume food and grass. It is better to let them harass them everywhere and consume the manpower and material resources of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance.

The current Ming Dynasty has several times the territory of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, and its population is more than ten times the population. If you play and consume, you will definitely kill them!
