"The domineering power is revealed! He is truly an elite teacher~!"
Zheng Zhilong had seen the Japanese, Dutch, Western and Portuguese armies, which definitely broadened his horizons. The one he had seen the most was the Ming Dynasty King's Division. However, he had never seen this army in front of him, which was collecting military records. seen.
He couldn't help but marvel at such a majestic scene. Most of the Ming Dynasty masters he had seen before were lazy and slack. It was difficult to even stand together, not to mention walking in unison. They were naturally very different from this elite group.
"I plan to train 30,000 of these elites every year, and a total of 150,000 in five years. At that time, we will launch a large-scale Northern Expedition and strive to regain Liaodong!"
In fact, there are far more new armies than the Donggong Guard. There are 30,000 Yulin New Army, 10,000 Shandong New Army, and 10,000 Baoding New Army. Huang Degong's Yongwei Battalion has been expanded to 30,000, and Qin Liangyu's White Guards Army will be increased to 30,000. Thirty thousand, a total net increase of at least one hundred thousand new troops.
The expansion of Shandong, Baoding and Baigan Army has just been approved by the imperial court, because Shanxi merchants' wealth is being transported to Taicang one after another. Judging from the draft expenditure details, it can roughly support an expansion of 90,000 yuan.
The East Palace Guards are the prince's personal armed forces, and the military salary will naturally not go to the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue. The prince has already informed Li Shiwen in advance, so the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has no worries about this. As long as he takes good care of the additional 90,000 horses, it will be enough. .
The Yongwei Battalion is the number one trump card in defending the capital. It has also proven its worth through the counterinsurgency battle. Spending money on such a direct force is well worth the money. The courtiers also understand that the Yongwei Battalion is not only the emperor's shield, but also theirs. Life-saving reliance.
The Baigan Army had a brilliant record. They had fought bloody battles for the imperial court for twenty years and had never been afraid of the enemy. The Ma and Qin families could be regarded as the generals of the Yang family in the world. Naturally, a certain prince would not begrudge the rewards and named them first-grade imperial concubine and prince Shaobao.
If you are given a sword by Shang Fang, you can ride a horse to the East Palace, and you can avoid kneeling when you meet the governor, governor, and imperial envoys. All the prefectures along the way must provide their troops with sufficient food and salary. If they refuse, Qin Liangyu can kill him first and report later.
From the battle to defend the capital, a certain prince could see that although Huang Degong was a bit domineering, he was indeed a loyal general and was absolutely devoted to protecting his lord. The troops were even more brave and good at fighting, resisting the enemy in the outer city, and did not wait for the rebellion from the Beijing camp to enter the inner city.
That’s why they approved the full supply of food and salary, and also agreed to the department’s request to add a cavalry sub-battalion. This is especially valuable when all departments are short of cavalry troops. The Yongwei Battalion has been given priority to supplement the war horses, even higher than The East Palace Guards.
Yao Ji also knows that in the short term, especially within a year or so, the East Palace Guards will not be able to fight at all. Not to mention a tough battle with bloodshed, even if it is a smooth battle, without the restraint of the officers, this group of losers will be special. How easy is it to get lost on your own...
It is in one's own interests to make the Yongwei battalion strong and strong. This is also the most capable ace unit currently in hand.
In comparison, Sun Chuanting's Qin Army was somewhat marginalized. Its combat effectiveness seemed to be between that of the Yongwei Camp and the Baoding Army led by Yang Wenyue. It could be considered a first-class force at the rear and a second-class force at the front.
Yao Ji has never seen Aunt Qin's White Guard Army, but until its main force is exhausted, its combat effectiveness should not be much worse than that of the Yongwei Camp.
The combat power brand names should be Yongweiying, Baigan Army, Qin Army, Baoding Army, and finally other miscellaneous armed forces. The Border Army is naturally at the bottom!
After the winter, the Tianxiong Army created by Lu Xiangsheng no longer existed, and the Guan Ning Army outside the pass still needed to be reintegrated by Lao Wangtou.
If Huang Taiji really plans to take advantage of the prince's supervision of the country to enter the country to fight against the autumn wind, when his right-hand man is unable to go north to Qinwang, Yaoji will have to make a record to avoid being caught blind.
No matter what, as long as 100,000 troops can be gathered around the capital, Huang Taiji's braided army will not dare to launch an siege easily.
With the support of thousands of mortars and rocket launchers, braid's attempt to attack the city is no different than suicidal death.
The actual combat of recapturing Datong City shows that grenades are much more lethal than simple bombs.
Many rebel soldiers were injured by flying iron beads, and usually the rebel soldiers within three feet of the explosion point were affected.
After receiving the summary report of the battle, Zhang Luan, the eunuch of the armor factory, and Liu Feng, the bureau officer, began to improve the mortar grenade, striving to develop a more powerful grenade.
In addition to the mass-produced version of the "Longqing" mortar, the armor factory is developing several mortars with longer ranges as upgraded versions of vehicle-mounted mortars.
As for the improved rocket launcher, everyone has seen it with their own eyes...
"Your Highness has great foresight and will definitely be able to revive the Ming Dynasty!"
Zheng Zhilong felt that the prince's strategy was feasible. If he only relied on the hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the pass, he would be unable to fight against the Donglu.
But if there are only 150,000 elites in front of us, and other tribes are included, the total will be no less than 350,000 to 400,000.
This gave Zheng Zhilong a good chance of winning against Donglu, and it also made Zheng Zhilong feel that "reviving the Ming Dynasty" was no longer an empty talk.
"To be honest with you, my East Palace Guards have been training for less than a month. Many of the people I saw were not soldiers before the 30th. When I come back to watch next year, they will be adults. It’s in military condition!”
These guys can only walk in a queue, and it is absolutely impossible to be transferred out for actual combat. However, it still takes a long time. After a year of training, they will be able to do everything they should know.
Go to the battlefield and get some blood, accumulate some actual combat experience, and on the basis of maintaining the scale of the organization and strict military discipline, then you will not be far from the ace unit.
"Your Highness is a great talent, quite like His Majesty the High Emperor!"
Zheng Zhilong was already astonished. He already had such a military appearance in less than a month. If he trained for a year, how could he still do it?
He didn't know what method the prince used to train Bu Qu to be so terrifying. Zheng Zhilong even wondered if the prince was deliberately deceiving him.
If there were 150,000 such elites, they would be able to compete with the rampaging Eight Banners Army under Huang Taiji without the help of other troops.
"Where! Where! I am just a fledgling palace. To recover the treasure island, I still need to rely on Aiqing's ships and men. In the future, I will also need the assistance of Aiqing's fleet to march directly to Batavia!"
Even if he becomes the strongest on the surface, he is still just a land tiger, and Zheng Laofi has transformed into a sea dragon. There is a big difference between his own strength and others.
Before the ironclad ships were launched, the Zheng family fleet was undoubtedly the first navy in East Asia, with thousands of warships and nearly 100,000 soldiers, so it had to be recruited as much as possible for its own use.
"No matter what your Highness orders, I will go through fire and water for Your Highness, no matter what!"
After watching the firearms show, Zheng Zhilong knew that what the prince said was true. With such powerful weapons to control the country, his fleet would be able to sail sideways on the sea from now on.
Regardless of whether they are Hongyi or Japanese, whoever is dissatisfied will only need a "harpoon" anti-ship missile to let them know how powerful they are.
If we can obtain a large number of these powerful weapons to control the country, it will be really easy to regain the treasure island. The seemingly indestructible city of Relanja is indeed within our own pocket.
Even if the Hongyi reinforced thousands of people from Batavia, they would not be able to withstand the bombardment of mortars and anti-ship missiles. It was only a matter of time before they were finally defeated and surrendered.
"Okay! If we can capture Batavia and then control the entire Dutch East Indies, I will make Aiqing the Marquis of Zhenhai!"
In the pie painting industry, Yaoji considers himself a top painter. He can draw all kinds of pie, and he is the best at making delicious pie.
Conquering the treasure island and transporting Japanese troops to Liaodong are the same thing, so I don't reward Zheng Laofi specifically.
But if he can really capture the East Indies, he must reward this guy.
The East Indies are the chokepoint that controls the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and their strategic location is extremely important.
To the south is Australia, to the north is East Asia, to the west is Africa, and to the east is the Pacific Ocean and even the Americas.
In particular, the famous Grasberg gold mine is on the island of Guinea, which is the territory of the Dutch.
This gold mine contains 3,400 tons of gold, 18,000 tons of silver, and 39 million tons of copper, which is almost equivalent to three times the total amount of precious metals stolen from the Americas by the Spanish Empire in the past 100 years or so. one part.
Not to mention gold, even if only one thousand tons of silver were mined, it would be equivalent to more than 20 million taels of silver, which is almost equivalent to the annual income of the entire Ming Dynasty.
As long as you control this gold mine, it will be like saying goodbye to the word "poverty" forever, and even copper coins can be counted in terms of ships.
Just transport the gold back, and the silver and copper can be transported to Southeast Asia to be exchanged for food, and then the court can feed millions of disaster victims.
It's just that the ideal is very beautiful, but in reality it would be very unhappy if the Dutch were there to interfere. Old Fart Zheng is his own security guard, and he needs to be allowed to drive away the Dutch thugs who are refusing to leave.
Drive them away from the Treasure Island first, and then the East Indies, whose strategic value is as important as the Treasure Island.
Seizing the East Indies means that a certain prince will have endless rubber, endless rice to eat, and endless gold and silver to spend.
"I will do my best to open up new territories for His Highness!"
Before the earl could be obtained, the prince was already thinking about making himself a marquis.
If Zheng Zhilong still found it funny yesterday, this would be a bit exaggerated.
But after just watching the live firearms demonstration, Zheng Zhilong already thought that the title of earl was within his reach, and that the title of marquis seemed less elusive. As long as he worked hard, he would not be able to obtain it.
He didn't believe that Hongyi dared to go head-to-head with his own warship equipped with anti-ship missiles. You must know that this was a powerful killer weapon.
Zheng Zhilong has visited Hongyi's ocean-going battleships. Although they are indeed remarkable compared to the Ming Dynasty's battleships, they definitely cannot withstand three or four anti-ship missiles.
If they have hundreds of anti-ship missiles in their hands, Hongyi's fleet will be like a wooden target floating on the sea. If they dare to block the vehicle with their hands, they will die.
"As long as my beloved is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and serves me, the benefits will continue to flow. What I see now is just the tip of the iceberg. When my beloved comes next time, or returns triumphantly from the treasure island, I will give you more benefits. Look at other secret weapons of love!”
Yaoji will not give Zheng Laopi any extra benefits, especially the heaven-defying weapon like the hot air balloon. It will not be shown to outsiders for the time being, not even the armed warlock Lao Tang.
For anti-ship missiles, the current lightweight models are only the initial models. Considering that manual loading is required and there is no hoisting equipment, the weight of the missile body has to be reduced.
Otherwise, if we come up with a model that weighs two hundred and fifty kilograms, a certain prince will not believe that a thousand-ton wooden battleship can withstand the attack of this "Whaling Hark-250"!
At present, it is almost enough to make a 40-pound model. Because it needs to be loaded at sea and during battle, the risk factor is very high. If it is bombed by the opponent before launching, it will affect the safety of the entire ship. .
If you make it too big, you may not be able to sink the enemy ship, and your own warship will be sunk without paying attention. Moisture is also a big problem, so the cost of a single anti-ship missile must be reduced. If it gets damp, it won't hurt if it is thrown into the water.
A version equipped with a gyroscope will appear in the future. After Bo Dacaizi heard about such interesting objects, especially when he heard that they could be used in the aerospace field, he has now begun to develop core components.
The "harpoon" with a gyroscope will be closer to the missile. The one shown to Zheng Laofi looks more like a rocket. After installing the gyroscope, the "harpoon" weighing hundreds of kilograms has increased. The Cheng type will be a nightmare for all enemy warships.
Even without the addition of steam ironclads, with only hot air balloons and "harpoons", the Ming Navy could detect the enemy first, attack the enemy first, and win first!
Starting from Quanzhou and going all the way south, you can reach the Cape of Good Hope, where the stubborn Dutch sailors will feed the great white sharks. It is said that because the Cape of Good Hope is the confluence of two ocean currents and all kinds of seafood gather, there are particularly many great white sharks...
The civil servants who originally looked down upon the prince's military training had to look at him with admiration when they saw the brightly armored and majestic East Palace Guards.
If 30,000 people were trained to look like this, it would be really incredible, no less than the troops of Qi Shaobao who had conquered all the battles in the north and south.
Many people were waiting to see the prince's joke, but instead of seeing the joke, they saw a well-trained elite force, which made them speechless in shock.
Huang Degong's Yongwei camp was nothing more than this. I heard that the prince asked Zhou Yuji to train it in less than a month. There must be help from the military art of the immortal world.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will fulfill my mission. If we cannot defeat the enemy's city this time, I swear not to return our troops!"
With the help of Zhenguo's weapons, both sea and land battles will be won. If the city of Relanja cannot be defeated, Zheng Zhilong will really feel that he is incompetent.
Therefore, the goal he set for himself was to break through the city within one month. If reinforcements came, he must take advantage of the situation and annihilate them. Otherwise, he would not have the face to go to Beijing to receive the reward.
Furthermore, the prince just said that the weapon of Zhenguo is just the tip of the iceberg, and other secret weapons are bound to be more powerful and domineering than these two firearms.
Zheng Zhilong also wanted to continue to broaden his horizons. He really couldn't think of anything more powerful than the country's weapon, but the prince's words were conclusive, and he definitely didn't seem to be deceiving himself.
The brothers at home are too timid. If he had not come to the capital this time, he would not have been able to see the powerful weapons of the country, let alone know about the existence of more powerful secret weapons.
"Okay, I learned about the defensive structure of Relanja City in the fairy world and have drawn it up. After returning to the palace, I will teach Aiqing how to capture this city!"
So what if it was a large fortress?
In front of tens of thousands of Zheng troops, it was just a tomb where the Dutch were buried.
Just use this thing to resist your own troops, the Dutch are just waiting to be hammered to the point of powdery fracture!
Don't scare me. If you are serious about it, I will have to fight fortress!
Starting from the city of Geranje, it includes the cities of Santo Domingo and San Salvador built by the Spanish in the northern part of the island.
I have asked Old Fart Zheng to hammer it hard all the way. If the hammering is not good, then hammer it again until it is smashed to pieces.
In the end, we let you bandits who came from afar pay the bill! 11... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network" and you will find this site as soon as possible.
