Chapter 693 Do You Want To Hit Me?I want to beat you up.
It has been almost a year since the initial signing of the commercial and trade agreement between the two countries with the Dutch envoy and representatives of the East India Company last year. Until today, the Dutch sent information about the Spanish troops stationed in Manila.
According to the Honglusi report, the representative of the East India Company, Van Lyck, said that the information was obtained by the Dutch mission when it stayed in Manila for more than a month when returning to the voyage, and then most of the members of the mission Departing back to Europe, several members of the East India Company stayed in Manila under other names. While dealing with the trade dispute between the Netherlands and Spain, they also waited for a merchant ship from the Netherlands to send relevant information to Daming.
Zhu Youjian spread out the map drawn by the Dutch on the desk and read it carefully.
The information sent by the Dutch is still very valuable, especially in the drawing of maps. Because Europe attaches great importance to mathematics, although the information sent is a sketch, the specific positions and elevations of the Spanish army's forts are written in Arabic. The numbers are indicated in detail, as are the number of troops stationed and the configuration of weapons at each stronghold and fort.
The Spanish army stationed a total of 400 people in Manila, including more than 24 artillerymen, twelve forts, and ten [-]-pound cannons, which were mainly distributed on the high ground facing the port to protect the safety of the Manila port.
In addition, there are 23 twelve-pound cannons, which are mainly used to attack armed ships that break through the blockade of the blocked port and enter the mooring. In addition, there are more than thirty six-pound cannons, which are used to attack landing targets and protect the safety of the fort. infantry artillery.
Except for the artillery, the rest are the army, mainly equipped with heavy arquebus guns, and there are [-] spearmen as cover to protect the safety of the arquebus gunners.
The Spanish forts criss-crossed and tightly wrapped the entire Manila port. Under this kind of cross-fire blockade, it is almost impossible to forcibly berth and land. If you want to occupy Manila at a relatively low cost, expel Spanish forces, then other methods must be adopted.
After looking at the map, Zhu Youjian thought hard for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution. In desperation, he ordered Wang Chengen to send the pile of things sent by the Netherlands to the five-army governor's mansion, so that those who are idle and uncomfortable can refer to it together. Make this battle plan.
This offensive task will be completed by the Liu Guoneng Department stationed in Dengzhou.
At present, although there are quite a few elite officers and soldiers in Ming Dynasty, only Liu Guoneng has rich practical experience in cross-sea landings. At least these 5000 people will not lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time due to seasickness.
In view of the small number of Spanish troops, Zhu Youjian will order to select 3000 to [-] people to fight.
In terms of field battles, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty's official army has a relatively large advantage in this world. If it is a battle with the same number of European troops, Zhu Youjian believes that the Ming Dynasty's official army will definitely win in the end.
However, considering that the Spanish army would definitely retreat to the forts and fortresses after the failure of the field battle, Zhu Youjian decided to send more people to use the dead corners of the fort defenses to attack until the Spanish garrison was wiped out or captured.
In addition to the more than 1000 Spanish garrisons in Manila, there are also more than 800 Spanish unarmed personnel, including officials of the Spanish governor's office in Manila and their families, businessmen, priests, civilians, etc., when the Ming army completely occupied Manila. After that, this group of people will be selectively used as coolies, and the rest will be notified to the Spaniards to redeem them with ransom.
Zhu Youjian will order the Ministry of War to arrange manpower, print the deployment map and send it to Dengzhou, let the middle and senior generals of Liu Guoneng's Ministry study the specific tactics, and finally compare it with the combat plan of the Five Armies Dudufu, and finally come up with the best plan. The best plan is implemented.
According to Van Lyk, the representative of the East India Company who came with the ship, the Spanish mission was very angry at the unfair treatment in Daming.
After negotiating with the Spanish Governor in Manila, the two sides agreed that after returning to the mainland, they would suggest that the King of Spain order to organize troops across the ocean to launch an attack on the Ming mainland. After defeating the Ming army, they would force the Ming court to sign a series of unequal treaties , And forced Ming to cede a piece of land, allowing the Spanish army to be stationed for a long time.
The Spaniards also enthusiastically invited the Netherlands to send troops to attack Ming Dynasty and distribute the results of the victory reasonably.
Regarding Van Luck's remarks, Zhu Youjian smiled and didn't take it to heart at all.
Regardless of whether the Dutch's rhetoric meant to sow discord, Zhu Youjian would not let go of this demonic country that slaughtered tens of thousands of Chinese.
The Habsburg dynasty, which has already sunk down, is still dreaming of dominating the world.
Its intention is nothing more than to covet the wealth of Ming Dynasty and try to find another way. After defeating Ming Dynasty and plundering huge wealth, it will make a comeback and restore the former glory of the Habsburg Dynasty.
Not to mention that Zhu Youjian is a time traveler, even if the Spanish invaded Ming Dynasty in the original history, Zhu Youjian believed without any doubt that the Ming Dynasty's army would still give these Spanish dwarves a heavy blow. blow.
Zhu Youjian believes that in the face of the country's economic situation on the verge of collapse, the Spanish high-level officials will most likely decide to send a large army to attack Ming Dynasty.
Daming is too rich.
Over the past hundred years since Long Wan opened the sea, Europeans sent a large amount of silver to Daming to obtain their favorite silk, porcelain, iron pots, and white paper. As long as Daming is defeated, these European scarce commodities will become the Spanish. The cash cow, in a few years, Spain will overcome the huge crisis in front of it, and the Habsburgs will once again become the hegemony of the world.
Since you want to come, before that, I'll cut off your tentacles and see how you will react.
In terms of time and distance, even if the Spaniards want to organize a large-scale cross-sea attack, from the return of the Spanish mission, to convincing the upper echelons to agree to send troops, to preparing for war, mobilizing the troops, and then traveling tens of thousands of miles to Daming, It will take at least two to three years.
However, if the Ming government army attacked Manila, it would take less than a year from war preparation to cross-sea transportation and landing.
This is also because of the need to rely on the monsoon to go south, otherwise, it would not take two months from the designation of the battle plan to the implementation of the army.
I am afraid that until the news of the fall of Manila spread to Europe, the Spanish mobilization for war is still in progress.
What kind of expression will the high-level Spanish people have when they heard the bad news?
At that time, should we continue to prepare to attack the mainland of Ming Dynasty, or send people to recapture Manila first?
Let the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies consider a series of follow-up issues that may arise from this war.
What Zhu Youjian intends now is to sell new products to Van Lyck.
