I'm a big dick

Chapter 668

Worried about the sudden attack by gunboats off the coast of Daming, the emperor began to speed up the layout of the South China Sea.

Although this would follow the conquest of the Spaniards in Luzon, plans had already been drawn, with the focus on the Malacca area.

That's right, it's a region, much larger than the place in Malacca occupied by the Portuguese.Including Temasek (Singapore), and part of the land of the Malacca Sultanate.

In the emperor's plan, a strong naval base will be established in Temasek, with sufficient naval and army forces stationed, to completely control the entry and exit of ships in the Straits of Malacca.

The favorable conditions for the implementation of the plan are the maritime business group’s operations in Borneo, and the fact that Mekong Province has expanded to the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula. Pontianak can be used as a relay port for the navy to berth, and direct flights from Mekong Province are not very far away.

Although the Portuguese were in decline, it was not very difficult to defeat them and seize the strongholds they held in Asia.

But the emperor was still inclined to cooperate, to give some favors to the Portuguese, and then jointly manage the strongholds in Asia with them.

For example, Malacca, the throat hub of shipping; and Galle in Sri Lanka, which has a monopoly on the cinnamon trade.

Of course, if the Portuguese are ignorant, don't blame the Ming Navy for taking the initiative.It is much easier to win from the Portuguese than from the Dutch.

The reason why he didn't want to turn against the Portuguese was that the emperor also wanted to maintain a stable trade with Europe.

In Western Asia in Asia, the Spaniards are already the target of immediate elimination, and the Netherlands, Britain, and France may all be the enemies of the Ming Empire in the future.

Although the possibility of formal war with the Netherlands, Britain, and France is unlikely, conflicts seem inevitable, and it is not surprising that commerce and trade will be affected by this.

With Portuguese selling to Europe, a stable export income can be guaranteed.The Portuguese must also salivate at being able to monopolize the trade with Ming Dynasty.

Although monopoly is not what the emperor wants, it is not unacceptable if it really reaches that point.

The key is still based on the control of the entire South China Sea. The navy still has a lot of points to occupy in order to ensure Ming Dynasty's exclusive control over the South China Sea.

As for the wider ocean beyond the South China Sea, the emperor felt that he could take a long-term plan.Anyway, the world is so big, it's not too late to wait three to fifty years before grabbing it.

It was almost spring, and the countdown to the conquest of Luzon had entered, the emperor issued a secret decree, asking Shen Yourong and the admirals of the navy to discuss and decide on the time of launch, and there would be a secret recital when they set off, without asking for instructions in advance.

The climate at sea is unpredictable, and when the monsoon will blow, it is also impossible to determine the exact date.Moving the camera is ideal.

As for the transport merchant ship that Li Dan is going to dispatch, he should rush to Dongfan in advance and load the goods for departure.For Li Dan, who is about to become the governor of Luzon, he still doesn't care about wasting money by letting merchant ships wait for ten days and a half months.

In the spring there was another military operation, which was commanded by Sun Chuanting to recover the former set.

With the strength of the Ming army, this is not a difficult task.However, to maintain a long-term and stable garrison requires careful management and a large amount of capital investment.

The dispatch of more than 1 officers and soldiers is also based on this consideration. They are both fighters and pioneers of reclamation.Choosing to act in spring is not to miss spring plowing, and strive for a harvest in autumn.

Fortification, fortification, road paving, etc., the construction of infrastructure will last for two or three years, so that the front set can become the south of the Yangtze River and a solid backing for advancing to the middle set and the back set.

It is more convenient to immigrate from the disaster-stricken Shaanxi to Hetao for reclamation, and to add Henan in the future, than to emigrate to Liaodong, and it can also be regarded as an effective means of disaster relief.

However, the latest information was handed over to the imperial case, and after reading it, the emperor fell into long-term thinking.

Hudun Rabbit is going west!
This information was not unexpected to the emperor.He had made a judgment a long time ago, and only after the Ping Liao Dynasty did he vigorously strengthen the military strength of the nine border towns.

Of course, there is no way to determine the time.Especially for Hudun rabbits, thinking is not too normal.

"Xuan Xiong Tingbi enters the palace to have an audience."

The emperor finished his contemplation and spoke to the palace servants.

Huduntu's strategy of unifying Mongolia first to secure the inside and then fight the outside world, coupled with the conversion to the Red Sect, led to the betrayal of all the left-wing Mongolian tribes.

Horqin was defeated and rose again with the support of the Ming Dynasty; under the pressure of Huduntu, the five tribes of Neikalka surrendered to the Ming Dynasty;

After tossing and tossing, Huduntu's Chahar Department has changed from the original eight Otoks to only six.

Huduntu turned his attention to right-wing Mongolia and continued his great cause of unifying Mongolia, which is actually predictable.

The right-wing Mongolia is weak, and Huduntu can merge to expand its strength and restore its co-lordship of the Great Khan of Mongolia; it can also win the "city reward" from Ming Dynasty to right-wing Mongolia, and get supplies in terms of food and grass.

Obviously, Huduntu didn't see Emperor Ming's calculations, and also underestimated the emperor's insidiousness.

As for the market rewards, the emperor had long wanted to get rid of them and change them to free trade, where everyone gets what they need.The reason why it is kept is to bait the Hudun rabbit.

After Huduntu launched an attack on the right-wing Mongolian tribes and defeated the Mongolian tribes, the emperor didn't give him a reward, and let him work for the Ming Dynasty for free, forcing the right-wing Mongolian tribes into the arms of Ming Dynasty.

Time was running out, Xiong Tingbi hurried over and entered the hall to meet him.

"Xiong Qing, save yourself from courtesy." The emperor raised his hand, signaling the palace servants to pass the information to Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi read the information, thought for a while, and then bowed and said: "Long live, I think this is a good opportunity to subdue the Mongolian tribes. I should issue an order to the towns and order them to strengthen their guard."

After a pause, Old Xiong added: "Among them, Xuanfu and Datong are the most important."

The emperor nodded and said: "The Liaodong side should also be prepared. There are not many troops left behind by the Chahar tribe, so they can wait for the opportunity to seize their old land."

"Wei Chen understands." Xiong Tingbi understood the emperor's meaning, this is to make Huduntu homeless, let's float outside!
The emperor asked with some hesitation: "Xiong Qing, should the action to regain the front set be postponed? If it is carried out as scheduled, will it have any impact on the right-wing Mongolian tribes and the westward advance of Huduntu?"

Xiong Tingbi smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Back to Wansui, both the Ministry of War and martial arts have conducted deduction. According to Wansui's prediction, the Chahar Division will move westward. The conclusions drawn by the two sides are similar, and they believe that recovering the former set has advantages and few disadvantages."

The emperor smiled and nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Prepare for rainy days, Xiong Qing has done a good job."

Xiong Tingbi thanked him with a bow, and said: "To attack the former homeland of the Chahar Tribe, the Mongolian tribes that surrendered can be recruited to send troops, and our army does not need to go out in a big way."

"Okay." The emperor agreed deeply, praised him, and said: "The Liaodong army is strong, and only a small number of troops can be dispatched. The Mongolian tribes are just going to avenge their old enemies. In my opinion, Huduntu is very likely to be the last A Mongolian Khan."

"What Wansui said is very true." Xiong Tingbi said: "Huduntu has great ambitions and few talents, but he has wishful thinking about unifying the tribes of Mongolia. The troubles of Mongolia will end with Long Live."

"The famous king among captives is especially called Jieao." The emperor sneered, "It's really ridiculous!"
