I'm a big dick

Chapter 553

The emperor paced back and forth in the side hall, circled the sand table several times, and finally made up his mind and realized his mistake.

In terms of the strength of the navy, the current Daming is well-deserved number one in Asia.But compared with the naval power of the Netherlands, and the rising star of the British, it must be a lot worse.

But the emperor knew that Xiyi would not turn his attention to Asia for at least a hundred years.Gold, silver and diamonds from South America and Africa are more attractive.

Even the century-old war between Britain and the Netherlands is not long before it breaks out.At that time, there will be no energy to take care of Asia.

Therefore, with the advantage of the home court, the Ming Navy can compete with Xiyi in Asia and gain the upper hand.

The mistake that the emperor realized was that he was too cautious, or he didn't expect it.

It is said that the emperor was too cautious. Naturally, it was due to the involvement of the Liaodong War, which made him not want to make more enemies and fight on multiple fronts; he said that he did not think about it, of course, he did not give clear orders to the navy for the actions of the Western Yi, or established any principles. .

Whoever offends my strong man will be punished even if he is far away!This is the external principle of the Han Dynasty, which is full of iron and blood.

But since the establishment of the Ming Navy, even though Shen Yourong and other generals knew that the emperor had great ambitions, there was still no conclusion on whether to attack the foreign western barbarians first, or to make a decision after observing and reporting.

No wonder Shen Yourong and the others, the system of feudal society and the procedures of Ming Dynasty for handling foreign affairs made them unable to let go.

Ping Liao and exterminate slaves, and in Liaodong have trained a land-based army of hundreds of battles; by annihilating Xiyi, it is hoped that the navy will also have iron blood and bravery.

The emperor made up his mind, turned back to the main hall, took a pen and wrote the will to Shen Yourong and others.

Although the emperor did not know the details of the Dutch attack on Macau, he knew the final result. Macau was always in the hands of the Portuguese, which meant that the Dutch failed.

At sea, the Portuguese are certainly no match for the Dutch.But being able to thwart the Dutch attempt to occupy Macau proves that the Dutch did not dispatch many, and most of them failed in the landing operations.

Based on this judgment, the emperor thought about making the Ming Navy a yellow bird.The praying mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole lags behind.He intercepted the Dutch when they retreated, instead of going first and blocking the knife for Portugal.

For the Portuguese, the emperor hired gunners and shipwrights, and bought a lot of guns from the Macau gun factory.But this is the deal, as for Macau, it will definitely be brought under the direct management of the Ming government.

Therefore, let the Dutch and the Portuguese fight first, and both lose some strength, and his follow-up plan will be smoother.

"If you want to fight, you will be ruthless, so that the Dutch red-haired ghosts will not be able to go back." The emperor thought so, and wrote little by little.

In order to achieve this goal, the emperor wants to mobilize the two major fleets in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. There are two to three hundred large and medium-sized warships alone.

The first battle must be won, and the confidence of the new navy will be built.

The emperor knew that it would cost a lot of money and materials, but these investments were necessary.The war with Xiyi mainly depends on the navy. Without actual combat, no matter how good the navy is, it cannot dominate the South China Sea.

As long as the emperor's intentions are conveyed to the navy, he will not be able to strategize the specific tactics.

Where to set up the battlefield, how to hide the ships, how to communicate, the timing of the attack, etc., are naturally decided by the generals on the front line.

In addition, the emperor had to use the power of the Maritime Merchant and Zhenfu Division to grasp the intelligence changes to the maximum extent.

The Dutchman—the emperor stopped writing, and a cold light came out of his eyes.
