Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 732 Chen Qiyu's Strategy
This time, it was Yang Sichang, who was in charge of the Ministry of War, who got up and saluted and asked about the affairs of the Ministry of War. The strategy of the surprise attack after the Ming army landed was formulated under his auspices.

"In principle, after the founding of Luzon, there is no need to set up another army. The responsibility of resisting foreign aggression must be borne by our Ming army. Unless one day in the future, due to other possibilities, our Ming army withdraws from Luzon, otherwise, here During this period, the safety of Luzon will be fully borne by our imperial army!
In order to maintain local law and order, Luzon can imitate the system of our Emperor Ming, and set up patrol stations in various cities or prosperous places. As for the composition of the staff, the cabinet can discuss it. "

Of course, an army cannot be established. Even if Luzon establishes a country, at least for a long period of time, it will not have the economic strength to support the army. Besides, from the perspective of hundreds of years later, even if Luzon has an army, its combat effectiveness will be fundamental. Not worth mentioning.

As for what Zhu Youjian said about the forced withdrawal of Ming officials and troops in the future, it may mean that there will be violent turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, such as extreme events such as regime change, which cannot be predicted and controlled by everyone here. up.

They all want to establish an immortal dynasty, but which way the footsteps of history will go is not determined by manpower.

"My lord, although it is said that the western barbarians of Luzon have been destroyed, but considering what was stated in the document delivered by the Dutch last year, in order to prevent Luzon from gaining and losing again, I think that the strength of Luzon's garrison should be strengthened so that To deal with Hong Yi's future revenge!"

Just as Yang Sichang sat down, Chen Qiyu got up and put forward his suggestion.

I have to admit that Chen Qiyu's view of the big picture is still far ahead of everyone else. When everyone else is paying attention to the details, Chen Qiyu has already taken into account the very likely revenge measures that the Spaniards will take after losing Luzon.

"Oh?

Chen Qing's discussion is refreshing, you can talk about it in detail for my reference and yours! "

Zhu Youjian urged with interest.

"My lord, according to the documents delivered by the Netherlands last year, the strategy of the Spanish country to use large troops to attack our dynasty across the oceans should be implemented. Although our court has taken precautions against this, I think that, Under the current circumstances, it is almost impossible for the Spaniards to directly attack us.

Because Manila is an excellent place for ocean supplies, the Spaniards came from the far west, and Manila is a place that cannot be bypassed. Therefore, since Spain has the heart to covet the wealth of our dynasty, the soldiers it sends must be Removing back thorns is the top priority!

Manila will definitely become its must-attack place, and strengthening the strength of the government and army has become an inevitable move!
The existing weapons of our army were unmatched at that time, and the soldiers had been in battle for a long time. As long as they are deployed properly, the country of Spain will undoubtedly be defeated!

I think it is not difficult to defeat them, but it is best to find ways to gather and annihilate their main forces and seize their ships for my use. After this battle, the strength of the Beihai Fleet will definitely be improved to a higher level. Solvable too! "

Chen Qiyu impassionedly delivered a long speech, briefly analyzing the strategies adopted by the enemy and the enemy in the event of a war in the future, and finally directly threw out what the officers and troops would achieve.

Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, and Yang Sichang nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement with Chen Qiyu's remarks, while the rest of the cabinet ministers who were not proficient in military strategy seemed indifferent.

And while Zhu Youjian was smiling happily, he was also thinking about whether to switch the things Yang Sichang and Chen Qiyu were in charge of, so that the strategist could give full play to his role.

"Chen Qing, in your opinion, if the war unfolds as you expected, what strategy should be adopted to gather and annihilate the Spanish army?

If Spain wants to attack our dynasty, how many soldiers will it send? "

Zhu Youjian's questioning was actually tantamount to agreeing with Chen Qiyu's judgment, which made Chen Qiyu feel even more proud.

Regarding the affairs of the etiquette department that he was in charge of, Chen Qiyu felt distasteful from the bottom of his heart. He felt that his talent was obviously buried.

The layout of the article is my advantage. Yang Sichang is the material for him to be his second-in-command. He has been working on a strategy to attack Manila for so long, and he has personally participated in it. Isn't it shameful?

This small battle involving thousands of troops is worth it for you, an old man, to get involved?

Not shameful enough!
"My lord, according to the documents of the Dutch, although Spain once dominated Europe, its national strength and military ceremonies have long since declined. It looks like a giant tree whose veins have been swallowed by silverfish. Can completely destroy it!
Those who want to seek our dynasty are just hearing that my national strength has been declining due to natural disasters and man-made disasters for many years. They want to take the opportunity to seize the wealth I have accumulated for hundreds of years, strengthen their national strength, and restore their former glory!
Taking this risky move without knowing anything about the current situation of our country, its actions are tantamount to shaking a tree by a mayfly, and it will only increase the laughing stock in the end! "

Chen Qiyu first analyzed the purpose of the Spaniards, and then ruthlessly ridiculed their ignorance.

This is an inherent fault of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. When they encounter problems, they don't talk about the topic first, but take ridicule and attack their opponents as their top priority. Zhu Youjian has nothing to do about this and can only nod in agreement.

People have developed this habit over the years, and it's really hard to change it for a while. As long as there is something to it, the details don't matter.

"To sum up, I believe that with its current national strength, the number of troops to be deployed this time should be between [-] and [-]. As for how many gunboats it will use, I have no specific judgment on this. .

I believe that when wars break out in the future, we should take advantage of the arrogance of the Spaniards as a breakthrough point, lure their soldiers to land with a small defeat, and then use the strategy of splitting up and attacking to gather and wipe them out!
The gunboat should use Jing Haibo's fleet to block it in the harbor, and when it has not pulled anchor, use surprise troops to surprise board the ship!

I heard that Xiyi's gunboats are very sharp, but they are superior in long-range artillery battles. Once they are approached by others, their own advantages will disappear!
Therefore, I suggest that the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies should formulate a strategy for this battle, and incorporate everything into it, so as to make our name as an officer and army in the First World War, and deter all the humble people in Europe!

The above is the judgment of the minister, and whether to adopt it depends entirely on the holy will! "

Chen Qiyu finished talking about his strategy in an eloquent manner, and then saluted Zhu Youjian.

After hearing Chen Qiyu's remarks, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Because today's meeting was called temporarily by him, the cabinet ministers had no plans for it.

And Chen Qiyu actually formed an extremely feasible strategy in such a short period of time, which shows his strong ability.

"Chen Qingzhi's thesis is brilliant!

The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies should use this as a basis to formulate corresponding strategies, and Chen Qing can participate in this whole process! "
