Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 220 The three-way attack on the Qing Dynasty (the battle begins, please subscribe!)
The Eight Banners New Army is a purebred hot weapon army, and the weapons used are the export version of matchlock guns that Hu Sangui Julio sold to Kangxi before.

Bombing is a matter of minutes.

Fortunately, these Eight Banners recruits were reluctant to use the new matchlock guns during training, otherwise they would be exposed.

"Your Majesty, no, the New Army of the Eight Banners should be used to defend Jiangnan and Fujian, where is the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty!"

"The Qing Dynasty must spend money on coastal defense in Fujian. If there is not enough coastal defense strength, then when the Ming bandits came from the sea to burn, kill and loot, the coast would be powerless to resist!"

Nalan Mingzhu said hoarsely.

"Moreover, Yunnan is far away from the Central Plains, so if you lose it, you will lose it!" Nalan Mingzhu continued to emphasize his theory of coastal defense.

Suo'etu was not happy. As an old Eight Banners, he said that he wanted all the coastal defenses.

"Your Majesty, if we withdraw our barriers, I will retreat an inch and the invaders will advance!" Suo'etu advocated to help Dongyu restore the country.

If Taungoo is gone, Yunnan will be gone, and if Yunnan is gone, Guangdong will be gone!
"Yunnan is sparsely populated and the land is barren. It is not worth the loss to defend Yunnan with the power of the whole country!" Nalan Mingzhu's words hit Kangxi's heart even more directly.

Value for money is what matters.

"Besides, there is so much miasma in Yunnan, Ming bandits may not necessarily attack Yunnan!"

In the end, even though Suo'etu asked to lead troops to Yunnan in person, Kangxi still agreed with Nalan Mingzhu's point of view more.

The Qing Dynasty is very big, Yunnan can be lost, but Jiangnan cannot be lost!
"Li Xiangen, hurry to Xiangjiang and buy another batch of muskets from the Netherlands!"

Kangxi knew exactly what the Eight Banners New Army looked like. Firearms were still the specialty of the Han green battalion, so they had to import muskets for the green battalion soldiers.

The big deal is to wait until the Ming bandits are put down, then put away the muskets, and then preach that the Qing Dynasty is unparalleled in riding and shooting.

In the second year of Shenwu, the 22nd year of Kangxi, the puppet emperor of the Qing Dynasty, July [-]th.

Anping Armory.

On the temporary high platform, Zhu Kezang looked at the tens of thousands of Ming elites lined up neatly below, with a stern expression on his face.

"Ming soldiers."

"Do you still remember the Liaodong massacre! Do you still remember the tragedies in Yangzhou, Jiading, and Jiangyin!"

"The Tartars devoured humanity, humiliated countless Han daughters, and killed tens of millions of Ming people! This is a blood debt!"

"Blood debt needs blood to pay!"

"Today, this is the starting point of our revenge!"

"I will fight against the Qing Dynasty with you! And I have only one request for you!"

"That is, kill all the Tartars! Revive the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Kezang said in a dark tone.

This time, he is still personally conquering. Unlike the aborigines who suppressed Nanyang, this time the enemy is the Taqing, who has a deep blood feud with the Ming Dynasty. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he must face it together with his soldiers.

"Kill all the Tartars! Revive the Ming Dynasty!" All the soldiers shouted excitedly in unison.

"Order!"

"Wow!"

"The troops boarded the ship in an orderly manner, aiming at Macau!"

This time, the Ming Dynasty had a large number of troops participating in the war. The first town, the second town, and the fifth town followed Zhu Kezang's imperial driver to conquer Macao, which was occupied by Portugal, and then approached Guangzhou.

The third town and the [-] Johor garrison set off from Qiongzhou Island and went straight to Leizhou Peninsula.

The last road was the fifth suppression of [-] Burmese garrison troops, [-] Siamese servants, and [-] Mataram garrison troops to attack Yunnan.

Attack from three directions, give Kangxi a stimulus.

In addition, these garrison troops and servants were not fully equipped, and Zhu Kezang simply wanted them to send heads to the Qing Dynasty, taking the opportunity to wipe out a wave of alien populations.

Zhu Kezang, who was the leader of the heavy army of the Qing Dynasty in Fujian, was going to occupy Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan first, and then slowly advance northward.

As for why Portugal was the first to be operated on, it is purely the Portuguese's bad luck.

Now the most valuable city along the coast of Guangdong is undoubtedly Macau, which is occupied by the Portuguese.

Due to the national policy of the Qing Dynasty's maritime ban, only Macao is left as a relatively serious trading port on the coast of Guangdong today. Not only large ships traveling to the Southeast Asia and the West have to dock at these two places, but even seagoing ships for domestic trade along the coast have to stop. We can only do business here in Macau.

The "free trade" between Macau and Guangdong was ignored by the Qing Dynasty by default, so the business in Macau naturally prospered more than ten times.

Therefore, during the years of the Qinghai ban, Macau not only did not weaken, but became more prosperous.

However, it is not easy to take down this increasingly prosperous Macau, because the Portuguese built a very strong bastion in Macau-this is a bastion built on a low hill, named "St. Paul's Fortress" , is the resident of the Portuguese soldiers in Macau, and it is also the basis for the Portuguese to rule Macau!
About 50 years ago, the Dutch East India Company, which had just established a foundation on the island of Java, set its eyes on Macau, a Western trading base located on the land of Ming Dynasty, so it gathered 300 armed merchant ships and [-] people to attack.

As a result, Macau was defeated by less than 300 Portuguese troops relying on the fortress for defense. After losing about [-] people, they fled in despair. One of several fiascos.

Five years after the Battle of Macau, the Dutch made a comeback and fought again, but were still repelled by the Portuguese relying on the Fort of St. Paul.

Since then, the Macau Castle, which repelled the Dutch twice, has gained a reputation. Until now, no one dares to think about it.

However, this record seems to be broken by the new Ming Empire.

More importantly, under the bustling Macau, there are blood and tears of countless Xiangshan coolies next door.

In Xiangshan, there are tens of thousands of coolies who make a living.

Previously, Hu Sangui had been staring at these coolie laborers on Xiangjiang Island on the opposite bank, but the Portuguese watched closely, and Hu Sangui couldn't trick them into Daming.

Therefore, Hu Sangui often reported to Zhu Kezang that to fight Guangdong, you must first fight Macau!

As long as the Ming Dynasty can seize Macau and Xiangshan County, the Qing Dynasty will not only lose their wealth, but also the tens of thousands of laborers who gather at the Xiangshan Gate to discuss their livelihoods.

By training these laborers, Da Ming will be able to quickly replenish a wave of reserve troops.

Moreover, Zhu Kezang is doing justice for the heavens this time, and the Portuguese can't keep occupying the land of the Ming Empire forcibly!
This time when we go back to Macau, we must bring interest with the capital, so that Macau can take back the rent that was not given to Daming before.

However, if you want to win Macau, you don't necessarily need a strong attack.

Although the Ming Guards were brave, they sacrificed as little as possible.

This time Zhu Kezang intends to give the Portuguese a wave of special operations.

That Macao is much stronger than the Batavia city in Southeast Asia. If Daming besieges it head-on, it may take a lot of effort.

If too much time is wasted in Macau, Ta Qing will react, and the number of enemies he will face will be a bit too much.

"Your Majesty, the Union Jack you asked for is here!"
