Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 91 The Great Ming Dynasty Strategic Master 【Seeking Monthly Pass】

"And such good things?" At this moment, William was ecstatic.

However, his face was calm, and his face was still gloomy: "Not enough, if you want my British Empire fleet to take action, you must pay more."

"We ask to amend the contract ahead of time and add terms."

"Your Excellency, please speak...!" Li Hongzhang said.

The first is to increase the number of ministers stationed in Beijing.

Second: Coastal cities have fully started trading ports.

Third: Missionaries enter the mainland to preach freely.

Fourth: Chinese businessmen and tourists can travel and do business in the mainland.

Fifth: my country's merchant ships can travel at all ports of the Yangtze River.

Sixth: Provide 500 million taels of silver as our country's military expenses for this expedition.

Li Hongzhang couldn't help frowning when he heard the words.

Just when William wondered if he was too greedy, Li Hongzhang said: "If I agree to the above terms on behalf of the emperor of our country, will Daying agree to send troops immediately?"

"It's natural!" William nodded.

At the same time, he couldn't help but start to spit in his heart: "At this moment, my British Empire fleet has already passed through the Strait of Malacca, and I can't do it without troops!"

"Okay, I agree!" Li Hongzhang nodded.

In fact, these were within his expectations, because the United Kingdom has proposed amendments to the treaty many times in the past few years, and these terms have been proposed many times.

It's just that Emperor Xianfeng never agreed.

This time, because Zhu Hongwu, a puppet Ming from Guangdong, really frightened Emperor Xianfeng, he let go.

These terms were one of the conditions that Li Hongzhang had received from Emperor Xianfeng before he came.

In fact, he has more conditions in his hands.

But now it seems that it is obviously not necessary.

"Hehe, this British ghost, an idiot, let go so easily, but it saves himself a lot of trouble." Li Hongzhang sneered in his heart.

"Hehe, this yellow-skinned stupid pig actually gave me such a big gift. It seems that this time my title is going to go up a notch." A trace of contempt flashed in William's eyes.

The two shook hands "friendly", and Li Hongzhang said again: "Governor William, I have another request. This time, I will go with the Great Qingshui Division to use troops against the pseudo-intellectuals. The emperor of our country explained to me that I must watch it with my own eyes. Guangzhou City is broken, and Zhu Hongwu's head must be cut off personally."

"Of course this is possible!"

"We are friendly countries!" William smiled brightly.

On the [-]th day of the third month of the third year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army, led by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, conquered Nanjing and swept away half of the Qing court in one fell swoop.

In June of the same year, the British Royal Navy fleet, a total of 8000 people sailed into the Strait of Malacca, marched all the way north, and entered Guangzhou Bay.

In August, when the fleet entered the South China Sea, Zhu Yuanzhang received news and urgently called the main generals to discuss matters.

"How to fight this battle, let's talk about it!" Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat and looked at the generals below and said in a deep voice.

This is his old tradition, and there must be such a closed-door meeting of senior generals before the war.

It is not only to listen to the opinions of all parties, but also to explain the strategy and tactics.

"I think, we still have to focus on defense!"

"Although the British army is small in number, it is well-equipped and has ferocious firepower. If we fight them at sea now, I am afraid we will suffer a big loss!" Chang Yuchun was the first to speak.

Although he claims to be invincible, he is not really invincible.

Even though he has advanced innate, after coming to this world and seeing the power of large-caliber artillery, he understands that from now on, the era of cavalry infantry charging directly into battle will probably be gone forever. Threats to the enemy line under threat.

Not even a group of congenitals.

What's more, it's still a naval battle. It's been half a year since he took over as Admiral of the Navy. He has been training and studying on the ship almost every day for the past six months. He understands the difference between naval battles and infantry battles. When firepower and maneuverability are not dominant, there is no way to fight a direct naval battle!

"If we don't let the enemy in, our navy will fight them on foot if we don't have the upper hand!" Deng Yu said.

The [-] elite infantry soldiers he had transferred from the early Ming Dynasty have all been replaced with guns, and this is the time to show their skills.

"No, if the enemy occupies our coastal defense battery, they can immediately gain the advantage of artillery. In any case, the artillery position in Humen cannot be lost." Xu Da said.

Soon everyone started talking about you and me.

These people are all famous generals of the Ming Dynasty. Although they have only been in this world for less than a year, they have quickly grown into qualified modern military generals.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the first place, quietly listening to the various opinions of the people below, and the specific battle plan for this battle was being perfected little by little.

"All right!"

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke softly and stopped everyone's conversation.

The people who were arguing immediately silenced and turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

They know that the next time will be Zhu Yuanzhang's performance.

In terms of strategy and tactics, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty could be out of Zhu Yuanzhang's right, and he was the greatest strategist in the Ming Dynasty.

Several important life-and-death battles in the Ming Dynasty were all battle plans made by Zhu Yuanzhang against the crowd.

And the facts have also proved that the opinions of a few people are usually correct.

Every time Zhu Yuanzhang's battle plan can achieve unexpected results.

"Let's talk about the goal of this battle first!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at everyone present: "This time, we are not trying to repel the British, but to wipe them out."

"We want the British not to have the ability to invade China again within 20 years."

There was silence below, no one objected, and no one expressed surprise, everyone was listening carefully.

Because the time for commenting has passed, and since Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, it means that he already has a complete battle plan. The guy who dares to question at this time has basically already grown grass.

"First of all, we need a fortified team that dares to insert into the center of the enemy's warships. All elites are required to be familiar with naval battles..." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

One minute and one second passed, and this closed-door meeting of the senior generals of the Ming Dynasty opened for two hours.

When the meeting was over, everyone went to work in a hurry.

As the first time to attend such an important military meeting, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi were the only three officials at the scene.

"Brother, are you really going to join the war this time?" Zhu Xi asked worriedly.

"It's about Daming's future, of course I'm going!"

"Furthermore, there may be extraordinary people on the other side's fleet, and Zhang Zhenren will stay by his father's side to guard them all the time. I don't want to encounter the opponent's powerful extraordinary person blocking me. Not only will the pro-military guards suffer heavy casualties, but my father's plans are probably all over the place. A big discount." Zhu Biao said.

In fact, there is another reason why he didn't say it. This is the first actual combat of his own army and guards. Zhu Biao still wants to witness the first combat of the special forces he personally built.

"Brother, don't worry, our brothers who are close to the military guards are all good. This time, we will definitely spank the other party's ass and pee, and shock those veterans in the army!" Zhu Xi said.

"Let's go, let's prepare too!" Zhu Biao nodded, looking forward to it, because this was also his first battle.

From the second-floor window at the rear, Zhu Yuanzhang silently retracted his gaze as he watched Zhu Biao disappear with his three younger brothers from sight.

Next to him, Mao Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the Crown Prince and several His Royal Highnesses don't need to take risks in person. It's not like we don't have other people to use."

"How to cultivate iron-blooded courage without going through the test of blood and fire, and this is their own choice. As a father, I should trust my son even more."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help thinking of the 270-year history of Ming Dynasty that he had seen.

He read between the lines of those history a truth, blood and fire make heroes, and greenhouses only raise cowards.

His son, Zhu Yuanzhang, wanted everyone to be like a dragon.

This is especially true for Zhu Biao, the prince.
