The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 256
Qiongzhou government office!

Zhu Hongyu convened a meeting of the generals of the recovery army.

He was sitting at the top seat, dressed in ordinary clothes, holding a white porcelain teacup in his hand, with a leisurely expression.

On the desktop in front of him was a topographic map of Leizhou Peninsula.

And the decorations needed for war chess deduction!
People gradually gathered together, and the laziness and leisurely look on Zhu Hongyu's face gradually disappeared.

He became that wise, resolute, wise and mighty Great Ming Supervisor again!

After everyone arrived, Zhu Hongyu got up from his seat, picked up a small wooden stick and pointed to the location of the Qiongzhou Strait, and then asked some questions.

"The narrowest part of the Qiongzhou Strait is less than forty miles away. To put it bluntly, Qing prisoners can swim across with a sampan!"

"The existence of the Leizhou Peninsula poses a huge threat to Qiongzhou! It has greatly affected the development and stability of Qiongzhou."

"How can I let it go?"

The generals of the Guangfu Army stood up one after another, and then said in unison.

"His Royal Highness, please order!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"Since the Leizhou Peninsula is a threat to our recovery army, then take the Leizhou Peninsula!"

"Order the staff to immediately come up with a battle plan for capturing the Leizhou Peninsula!"

"The logistics department immediately prepares the supplies needed for the army to go out!"

"All soldiers in the new barracks who have completed their training are mobilized!"

"Ready to fight!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and then went to prepare separately.

The reason why Zhu Hongyu wants to mobilize recruits to fight, instead of continuing to use veterans, let the veterans finish fighting the Leizhou Peninsula and return to Luzon for repairs.

One is because the main force of the Liberation Army has been fighting hard for more than half a year, either in battle or on the way to battle.

The whole army is very tired and needs to be repaired urgently!

The second reason is that Zhu Hongyu wanted to take advantage of the battle in the Leizhou Peninsula to use it as a power training so that the recruits recruited by the Liberation Army in Qiongzhou could see their blood.

The military strength of the Qing court in Leizhou Peninsula is not strong, not much more than that of the Qing court in Qiongzhou.

Just let the Liberation Army use it for training!

However, it is easy to win Leizhou, but it is not so simple to defend it.

The Qing court's military strength in Leizhou is indeed not much, but the Qing court has a large number of troops stationed in Guangdong and Guangxi adjacent to the Leizhou Peninsula.

Once the Qing government sent heavy troops to suppress Guangdong and Guangxi, the small arms and legs of the Guangfu Army could not hold it back!

Therefore, the Leizhou Peninsula can be fought, but how to defend it after it is defeated requires a good plan.

……

After the military meeting was over, Zhu Hongyu had just lay down to rest, when someone came to see him outside.

Zhu Hongyu comforted the naked Wen Wen, covered her with a quilt, and then put on his clothes and got up.

When he walked outside, his secretary was already waiting outside the door.

"What happened?"

Zhu Hongyu asked.

The secretary handed Zhu Hongyu a military report, and then said.

"Reporting to His Highness Jian Guo, Jin Wang Li Dingguo led his troops out of Mengla, from the Irrawaddy River to the south of the Yangtze River, and entered the territory of Burma!"

"Within half a month, seven formations of the Burmese army were broken in a row, tens of thousands of heads were beheaded, and Burma was terrified!"

"This is a detailed battle report!"

Zhu Hongyu looked at the battle report in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and then spoke.

"Gu knows, go down and rest!"

The secretary took his leave and turned to leave.

Zhu Hongyu returned to his bedroom with the battle report.

But he didn't rest immediately, but ordered the maid to light the candles in the house, and then sat behind the desk.

Read the battle report carefully!

At this time, the Qing court stationed heavy troops in Yunnan, and Li Dingguo's troops were unable to counterattack Yunnan, so they chose to attack Burma.

Judging from the battle report, Li Dingguo's early-stage battle went smoothly.

In large-scale frontal battlefield battles, the Burmese army's performance is not much better than garbage!

Seven consecutive defeats within half a month, and thousands of people were wiped out.

The main force of Myanmar was hit hard!

If such casualties were placed on Manqing, as long as the ones who were wiped out were not Eight Banners soldiers, it would be painless.

But if it is placed on Myanmar, the casualties of these [-] people will be painful to the marrow!

However, although the Ming army won the victory on the frontal battlefield, what happened next was the real test.

When the Burmese started not confronting the Ming army, but started drilling the forest to fight guerrillas, the Ming army should be in trouble!
Terrain, disease, climate!
These three points are the three layers of weak buffs on the Ming army!

Things are difficult!
Zhu Hongyu picked up his pen and began to study the tactics adopted by Li Dingguo on the map, reviewing every battle of Li Dingguo's troops.

I have to admit that Li Dingguo's battle was really beautiful!
Going south along the waterway, they went straight to the important cities of Myanmar, surrounded the points to fight for aid, and forced the Burmese army to fight the Ming army in field battles.

Then use your own advantages in training and ordnance to inflict heavy damage on the Burmese army!
Whether it is strategy or tactics, there is no flaw at all!

But once the war progressed to the point of hiding in the mountains, strategy and tactics were useless.

After much deliberation, the only reinforcement Zhu Hongyu can give them is to send more medicinal materials to prevent the spread of the disease.

After casually issuing an order requiring Qiongzhou and Luzon to gather a batch of medicinal materials, Zhu Hongyu suddenly thought of something.

He almost forgot that he had a troop specially recruited from Luzon's native army, a tropical forest combat force!
At the same time as the Northern Expedition of the Restoration Army, this army went deep into the dense forests and mountains of Luzon, and wiped out a large number of cannibals and natives who were hostile to the Restoration Army.

Made outstanding contributions to the development of Luzon Island by Ming Dynasty!
Now that a large-scale war is breaking out in Myanmar, the Ming army wants to wipe out the aborigines in Myanmar. If this tropical forest combat unit is put into the battlefield, it will definitely play a huge role.

However, after much deliberation, Zhu Hongyu still has not made up his mind to send troops into Burma.

On the one hand, his sphere of influence does not border Myanmar now!

Either take the sea route and pass through Malacca to land in Myanmar!

Or you have to go through Annan, Siam and other countries.

Malacca is now under the control of the Dutch, and the Dutch will not allow Da Ming's fleet to pass through Malacca, and Da Ming will not rest assured that he will hand over his rear to the Dutch.

The Ming army fleet is going to pass through Malacca, and it is inevitable to have a match with the Dutch!
A winner and a loser!
And if they go by land, Annan, Siam and other countries will definitely not allow Daming to pass through their territory!

It's all trouble!

It was already late at night, Zhu Hongyu yawned, went back to bed and lay down, and gradually fell asleep.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Zhu Hongyu took Wen Wen to do a morning exercise, and then got up refreshed and had breakfast.

He issued an order to increase the aid of medicinal materials to Li Dingguo's troops, and then called a meeting of the generals to prepare for the attack on the Leizhou Peninsula.

In the end, Zhu Hongyu gave up the idea of ​​sending troops to Burma to help in the war!
With this skill, he might as well let the tropical forest combat troops clean up Luzon again.

Expand Daming's reclamation area on Luzon Island!
At least the benefits of cleaning up Luzon Island are tangible!
He, Zhu Hongyu, is now the overseer of the Ming Dynasty. It is true that he is the leader of the Anti-Qing Dynasty, but this does not mean that he will harm his own interests and selflessly help his allies.

Zhu Hongyu is not a fool!
