Chapter 748 Mo County
Chen Mu didn't know how to respond to Deng Zilong's words.

He laughed and said: "Chen doesn't mean that. The Beiyang Banner Army is practicing for Chen himself. I know what kind of talents they have. These good men can fight against any army in the world in land battles."

"Everyone knows that the Western Kingdom is strong and prosperous. A few years ago, its soldiers could take root in Luzon, which was [-] miles away from the country, and command almost all the princes in Europe except Britain and France, and they could be called the overlord."

"The imperial court set up the Oriental military government, and wanted to take Asia; if it wanted to take Asia, Spain, the roadblock, had to be removed. Therefore, the Beiyang Banner Army was born, and the two capitals of the north and the south were chosen, and they were recruited and trained by the good families of Liaodong—they wanted to deal with the overlord born."

"I said that Spain is better at land battles than sea battles. This is not to say that our land division is weaker than him, or that our navy is better than him. Our sky army is better than him regardless of land and water. It's just that land battles suffer."

"Western ships have few giant cannons, and carry a lot of troops. A big ship with two hundred and five troops is considered a small number. If the land battle Magui Majin has not arrived and Shao Tingda has not returned, our army will have to use [-] troops to fight against the enemy's [-] or even Probably more."

"If it's a naval battle, one hundred households in our department can make five hundred warships equipped with eighteen artillery pieces play their due combat power. More guns are better than fewer guns, and more ships are better than few ships."

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he looked at Deng Zilong and said, "It is my general's responsibility to minimize the casualties of the soldiers and win the victory. Winning is very important, and winning beautifully is more important."

Deng Zilong wanted to say: I just complained!
Deng Zilong also wanted to say: You can do whatever you say!

But Deng Zilong could only say: "This subordinate obeys orders."

Spain or the Habsburgs are not just maritime overlords, they are actually European overlords, and they are the only family that could unify Europe after Charlemagne and before Napoleon.

The huge land and sphere of influence bring the possibility of a powerful fleet, but its naval warfare idea is an extension of land warfare. Western-style warships are not warships, but sea fortresses. If it is not for the building ships of the Three Kingdoms period, they will capsize due to strong winds on the Yangtze River. Philip I must like the kind of warship that can carry thousands of troops.

Deng Zilong was ordered to leave, and tonight all the warships entered the port except for offshore defense, and most of the banner troops were able to rest on the shore.

The space on ships in this era has always been terribly small. Except for Liujia ships, which carry only [-] troops and have almost no capacity to connect with ships of the same tonnage, [-]% of the seamen on the remaining ships do not have cabins.

Although there is a Chen Mu imitating the sleeper on the cannon window that can pull down the narrow bed, but because of the length, the flag soldiers can't even stretch their legs straight. Most people choose to sleep on the deck next to the cannon, and only sleep on the ground for two days with back pain Only then will I go to have a rest overnight.

In all fairness, the treatment of the sailors of the Ming army is already the best treatment that Chen Mu has ever seen on a ship. Like the warships of the Spanish and Portuguese countries, Chen Mu would never be able to figure out where they would sleep just by looking at them.

After all, less than [-]% of the whole ship is calculated according to the treatment of people.

Admiral Deng Zilong had just stopped, and Yang Tingxiang and Zou Yuanbiao came together from the station. Yang Tingxiang was quite normal, with a little pride and enough respect on his face, and signed up at the tent door.

Zou Yuanbiao is also very normal, but it is not very likable that he always wears that smirk like a normal person, although it can be seen that he is very happy.

This person is very strange, it seems that Chen Mu makes him happy in everything he does.

"Commander, General Deng just left, saying that you are going to have a showdown with Xiyi Sea?"

Just as Chen Muna nodded, Yang Tingxiang answered, "Why don't you stay here and decide the winner in the two bays outside the port?"

There are two bays in Acapulco. The main bay in the north is large, and there is another bay about two miles away in the south. , what Yang Tingxiang said must be a decisive battle in the main bay.

"why?"

"The enemy's army coming from the south is bound to take advantage of the wind, and the bow of the enemy's ship is low pressure. Our troops will definitely face the wind when fighting outside the bay. The slow speed of the ship is easy for the enemy to take advantage of, and it will be difficult to win once it is on the side."

"It's different in the bay. The wind is small and the waves are weak. The western boat is huge and heavy. The speed of the boat is not as good as mine, and the artillery is not as good as mine. If you can't catch up, you can only be beaten."

Yang Tingxiang was confident, clutching a letter in his hand and tightening his sleeves, he said: "The small bay on the north side of the bay can be used to ambush fire boats. Our army has many lucky boats and more craftsmen. In a few days, military craftsmen can make fire boats seventeen." Eight."

"Another part of the navy will be placed on the north side of the bay. When the war in the bay arises, the bay will be blocked from the periphery. When the enemy is in a dilemma, the fireboats will rush out, and the enemy will be in chaos in one fell swoop."

Chen Mu was about to say what to do if there were so many sailors on the Spanish ship, and if they went crazy, they should not all run aground on the beach and attack the land by force, when Yang Tingxiang enshrined the letter in his hand.

The young civil and military generalist said: "If the enemy's dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the craftsmen of our Military Weapons Bureau can rush to make mines for the general, and deploy them on the coast where they are easy to land. The ropes are in the hands of the soldiers on the shore."

"As long as his ship lands, first bomb him for a while, then hand it over to General Lin, and discipline him whether he comes back or not."

So ideal.

However, seeing Yang Tingxiang's confident appearance, Chen Mu still praised him: "We can let the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau prepare in this way, if the enemy invades the port, we will do so, but there are always accidents in war, and the plan may not be able to keep up with the ever-changing battle situation. "

After finishing speaking, he asked Zou Yuanbiao who was following him, "Have you finished the Anmin Announcement?"

"Return to the commander-in-chief, come with your hands, and choose the general interpreter flag army to read next to the notice." Zou Yuanbiao arched his hands and said: "From tomorrow, I will be assigned to the official household Qimin and Qingzhang Tianmu, and each family will divide the land according to Dingkou. From 29 to [-] mu, [-]% of the tax is one, and the remaining [-] landowners are divided into half and half from the government, which is taxed, and after three years, the tax is only one."

"I know that the imperial court may not govern here, but Asia is always governed by the imperial court. It is not a bad thing to clear up the land first. In addition, the students want to follow the example of their ancestors here and compile the yellow book of taxation and service."

Needless to say, Chen Mu felt that Zou Yuanbiao had a belief in his heart. He never thought about whether the expedition to Asia would fail, or whether the Ming army would retreat here. He couldn't wait to try his skills here. ability.

Immediately afterwards, Zou Yuanbiao also took out a letter and presented it, saying: "Students set eight things, compile household registration, Zhang Tianmu, divide fields, establish ancestral halls, build city gods, set up social schools, open ditches, and build agricultural machinery."

When Chen Mu finished the letter, he raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes to look at Zou Yuanbiao and said, "Why, are you going to be the magistrate of A County here?"

"No, can't you?"

Zou Yuanbiao's smile stopped because of Chen Mu's words. Chen Mu did not ask him to do these things. He was very subjective, so he did it himself.

Hearing Chen Mu's words, he paused for a moment, then suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Marshal, the student wants to be... County Magistrate of Mo County!"
