First, it will severely damage the Burmese people, then erode and weaken them. Even if it is more than a dozen or decades, it will be completely solved.

The emperor remembered it very clearly that the Burmese people were capricious, and wars broke out with the central dynasty in history in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

The wolf's ambition is not enough to feed and not familiar with it, and it cannot be influenced by benevolence and righteousness. The only thing that convinces them is cannons and muskets, and only the despair of not daring to be enemies.

If the Vanguardian is labeled as revenge, it is not very accurate. However, the Spanish who conquered Luzon was a bloody battle of revenge.

Those who kill my people in Daming will pay their blood debts and will never be forgiven.

The Eastern Band has been officially designated as the Taiwan Prefecture by the court and has temporarily governed eleven counties, and Kaohsiung County in Tainan is one of them.

However, the nature of Kaohsiung County is different from other counties. The temporary military control is to be precise, it is used as a military base for the conquest of Luzon.

He destroyed the Dutch fleet, Yaowu took back the power of the moat mirror, and signed a treaty with the Dutch. After the navy completed its mission, the two major fleets returned to Kaohsiung to continue preparing for war and training.

A battle with the Dutch was actually not a great achievement. At least in the eyes of naval generals such as Shen Yourong, the first battle to conquer Luzon and attack the Spaniards was the navy's first battle.

From the sixth to seventh year of the Tianqi revelation, severe drought occurred in southern Fujian, and the fields were covered with terrain. The imperial court and the Maritime Merchants Association jointly recruited tens of thousands of hungry people from Quanzhou to Taiwan to expand their cultivation;

In the eighth year of Tianqi, southern Fujian suffered another severe drought, and there were many hungry people. The imperial court and the Maritime Merchants Association once again recruited tens of thousands of victims from the disaster in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. "People give three taels of silver and three give one cow" and transported them to Taiwan to settle in the land.

This is just a large-scale immigration that encounters disasters. Coastal provinces such as Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong have all formed policies for immigration. Those who are interested can also be scattered into Taiwan and resettled by the Taiwan Prefecture.

Over the past few years, Kaohsiung County has more than 100,000 residents and more than 200,000 hectares of land reclamation. Grain production is not only self-sufficient, but also fully replenished tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers.

This is of course the emperor's preferential policy. Otherwise, Taiwan's land reclamation and colonization requires a large amount of population and labor. If Kaohsiung County does not have the focus on it, how could it be allocated so many immigrants?

Some people have labor, military, court policies and capital investment. Kaohsiung is built very quickly, and two fleets and hundreds of warships can be parked at ports of all sizes and large.

The Marine Corps also reached 15,000 people in the three battalions, and was full of staff. They were busy conducting training such as landing and land battles.

When Shen Yourong returned to Kaohsiung, he immediately devoted himself to the intense work.

In his lifetime, Shen Yourong, who was already in his eighties, felt the tight time was so tight.

Next year? The year after tomorrow?

Putting down the documents in his hand, Shen Yourong got up, walked to the window, looked at the shadow of the mast in the harbor in the distance, and fell into deep thoughts.

Long live hated the Spanish to the core, and the wording of the secret order was full of anger, which put a lot of pressure on Shen Yourong.

Of course, the emperor also had strategic and planned plans and did not choose his first opponent as the Spaniard.

First attack Myanmar, use plunder to accumulate funds in order to launch a war that spans thousands of miles across the sea; first fight against the Dutch, build the confidence of the navy, and practice tactical strategies for naval combat.

First build a base - Kaohsiung, immigrate and reclaim, minimize the difficulty of transporting materials from the mainland and minimize costs.

First build sea ships, which are enough to carry 20,000 Marines and various ammunition and medicine resources. Then join forces with the ships of the Maritime Federation, the transportation capacity has already met the conquest of tens of thousands of troops.

The Marines were trained first. As long as they could land successfully, the Spaniards in Luzon would be defeated by their advantages in weapons, equipment and military strength.

First do reconnaissance and collect all kinds of information. The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy" will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

The maritime merchants who went to Luzon, the Chinese who lived in Luzon and returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the spies from the tutoring department dressed up, clearly grasped the reality of the Spaniards.

All of this was done in a way that was as secret and concealed as possible, and the Spaniards in Luzon were not aware of it.

In order to paralyze them, the emperor never mentioned the Spanish in public, mentioned Luzon, and allowed maritime merchants to go to Luzon to make money, so that the Spanish could get some best-selling European goods such as silk and porcelain.

Chen Yourong believed that the emperor had committed the problem of being overly cautious and careful. In his opinion, it was not too difficult to attack Luzon and destroy the Spaniards.

In terms of military strength, the Spanish in Luzon and the vassal indigenous people were only a few thousand; there were only a dozen Spanish warships.

The Ming army will dispatch tens of thousands of troops, and there are more than 200 warships on the two squadrons. With such a huge difference in strength, isn’t winning a handful of pinching?

The difficulties and risks facing the Ming army were the long-distance navigation at sea and the unpredictable winds and waves.

Chen Yourong has no choice but to choose the safest time to go out to sea based on the climate and experience.

Regarding the prevention of risks, Chen Yourong once reported to the emperor that the maritime merchants smuggled weapons and ammunition and sent officers to train local Chinese in Luzon.

After the massacre, Luzon now has 70,000 to 80,000 Chinese, and arming thousands of people is enough to compete with the Spaniards.

Moreover, instead of letting the Chinese fight alone, the Ming army would still dispatch a certain number of regular troops to cross the sea to fight.

But the emperor refused Chen Yourong's suggestion without hesitation. The reason was very simple. The leak of the news could not only make the Spaniards prepared, but also cause the local Chinese to be slaughtered again.

The door was gently knocked and received a response from Chen Yourong, several officers pushed the door and saw it.

These are the main commanders of both squadrons, both of which are quite young. After experiencing naval battles with the Dutch, their personal spirit is different from before.

Chen Yourong ordered everyone to sit down and hold an informal military discussion in his office.

"The creation of landing ships needs to be accelerated, and the practicality of the new style is still satisfactory."

"The Marine Corps not only needs to conduct training on landing, but also training on land combat, such as siege attacks, and frontal battle formations."

"Practical experience may be a problem, but there is no place for the Marines to conduct actual combat. As long as the training is stricter and the war is fought, you will not be afraid of death."

"The Spaniards also used a medley of bullets, and the number of people was only a few thousand, and the military and civilians were combined together. What should we do to fight with us?"

"The best fight next year is that as time goes by, the news is likely to leak, and the soldiers' tense spirits are also likely to relax."

"Five thousand warriors landed on the shore, which is enough to defeat the enemy. There are 15,000 people. In the future, there are many places to fight, train troops in advance, and then use Luzon to fight in actual combat."

Chen Yourong listened with a smile, and finally waved his hand and signaled everyone to stop and discuss.
