I'm a big dick

Chapter 684 Repeat Dong Shengwei

Public executions, hundreds of Spaniards.Whether it was at the meeting called or the news spread, it caused extreme shock in Luzon.

At this time, someone remembered that the Spaniards and some local natives still owed blood debts to tens of thousands of Chinese, and their hands were stained with Chinese blood.

However, the Ming army attacked Luzon not only to seize the city and occupy the land, but also under the banner of revenge.

massacre?nonexistent.This is a just trial, a just verdict.Killing for life is justified.

The news spread quickly and widely, and the shock was getting bigger and bigger.

In the ten days before the execution, Li Dan mobilized the Chinese to fuel the flames. Not only the people in Luzon basically knew about it, but also the residents of other islands also heard the news.

Externally, the emperor needed to deter the Western Yi; internally, Li Dan also needed the surrender of the chieftains.Moreover, in name, it is completely tenable.

As for Spanish reprisals, the emperor was not too worried.The colonies in South America contain most of Spain's troops.It is not possible for the old Spain to mobilize a considerable navy and army to expedition to Asia.

Of course, the emperor also made full preparations, just in case.If the Spaniards dared to come, let them fall into the sand, and suffer the heaviest losses in Asia.

As far as the overseas territories of the Ming Empire are concerned, in fact, Luzon is really considered.When the Spaniards get the news and gather enough ships and troops, Luzon can organize and train at least 6000 to [-] troops.

This is not counting the assistance of the regular army. With the five or six thousand troops equipped with flintlock guns, artillery, and rockets, it is very difficult for the Spaniards to win.Unless there are tens of thousands of troops, they have an absolute superior force.

If the Spaniards wanted to directly attack the territory of Ming Dynasty, relying on the benefits of the host, the navy of Ming Dynasty and the huge number of fireships that could sail in the coastal waters, the Spaniards were very likely to be in danger of being completely wiped out.

For Spain's current strength, the emperor already has some understanding.Otherwise, they would not brazenly launch an attack on Luzon and behead the Spaniards for public display.

Li Dan also knew all of this.In order to reassure him, the emperor will also set up an intelligence bureau in Luzon to realize intelligence sharing.

At the same time, the emperor also allowed Li Dan to emigrate from Borneo, with the number limited to [-] per year.After all, it was Li Dan who worked hard to manage it, so it would be unreasonable not to give at all.

As for Luzon's coastal defense, the emperor also ordered Shen Yourong to leave a squadron, which was not very large, only twenty or thirty warships.

But this is only short-term. With the continuous expansion of the navy, Luzon is doing well, and the permanent fleet will also expand.

In short, the attack on Luzon is not a temporary impulse, but a long-planned and well-prepared action.It can not only attack, but also occupy.

The conquest of Luzon has been won, and the Spaniards have been killed, and the rest of the captives have become coolies, waiting for the ransom from the Spanish side.

The victory report document was still at sea, but the emperor didn't know about it, and he was always worried when facing the sand table every day.It's not that I'm worried that I won't win, but that the sea is unpredictable and the navy will suffer unexpected losses.

But this is not all after all, the government affairs that the emperor has to deal with, as well as other military operations, are still going on in an orderly manner as planned.

One sea and one land, the main actions this year are these two.If Huduntu goes west, there will be military deployments against him.

"History of the Ming Dynasty": "The big river is surrounded by three sides, so it is called 'Hetao'." That is to say, the geographical scope of "Hetao" basically refers to the area north of the Great Wall and south of the Yellow River.

At that time, "Ningxia Wei" was to the east of Yinchuan, and "Dongshengwei" was to the west of Tuoketuo County, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.

And "Qiantao" usually refers to the Yellow River South River from Dengkou to Wuradqian Banner, between the south of the Yellow River and the Great Wall; "Houtao" refers to the north of the Yellow River.

The battle to regain the former set can actually be seen as the emperor's repeated "Dongshengwei" action.

You must know that the management of Dongsheng and Ningxia can strategically respond to the shortcomings of the Beihetao outpost.Cheng Zu abolished Dongsheng's two guards and four defenses, and more consideration was to cut the power of the Jin king, which was a strategic mistake.

In return for Wuliangha Sanwei's support in the "Battle of Jingnan", Ming Chengzu moved the Northern Parallel Capital in Daning to Baoding.

As a result, the defense between Liaodong, Xuanhua, and Datong opened a large gap, which isolated Liaodong from Xuanhua's support and made it difficult to respond.

Soon, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty thought that Dongsheng Wei Kuang would be difficult to defend, so he moved Dongsheng Zuowei to Beizhi Lulong County, and Dongsheng Right Guard moved to Beizhi Zunhua County.Dongsheng Middle, Front, and Back three Thousand Households retreated to guard Huairen County, Shanxi.

The abolition of the capital of Daning and the inward relocation of Dongshengwei caused two major gaps in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, making Kaiping an isolated island extending into the Mongolian plateau, facing enemies on three sides, and finally moved inward during the Xuande period.

However, the relocation of the three important towns of Daning, Dongsheng, and Kaiping made the inner edge of the Ming Dynasty the frontier (position), and all the dangerous areas defended by the outside were completely lost.

The emperor will never be satisfied with the long-term confrontation with the northern nomads using the Great Wall as a line.The catastrophe intensified, and the northern nomads' southward invasion became more and more likely.

Pushing the defense line northward to form a buffer zone outside the Great Wall to prevent nomads from invading the interior is the first preventive step.

The key is that the Qiantao area can be cultivated and grazing. In the future, the south of the Yangtze River will be fortified, and the emperor believes that it can be well managed, thereby saving the cost of garrisoning troops.

At this time, Sun Chuanting had already stood in the old city of Dongshengwei, looking up at the endlessly flowing Yellow River in the north.

The ancient city of Dongshengwei is also called "Yellow City". The Acropolis was built one after another in the early Ming Dynasty.

Facing the Ming army armed to the teeth and the vertical and horizontal impact of the cavalry wall, the Mongols were defeated without any suspense and retreated northward.

The right-wing Mongolian tribes are so unbearable.Sun Chuanting shook his head, deeply moved.

Holding a city reward and living a comfortable life, An Yi hastened the degradation of the right-wing Mongolian tribes.But their real enemy is not the Ming army, but the Huduntu who will soon go west.

"My lord." An officer walked up to the city wall and bowed to Sun Chuanting to report, "All our troops have entered the city, only one flying cavalry chasing the enemy has not yet returned."

Sun Chuanting pondered for a while, and said: "Send five hundred horses to meet them."

Sun Chuanting is still very confident in the combat effectiveness of flying cavalry.In fighting the Mongols, he also saw the degeneration of the Mongols.

But he did not underestimate the enemy, because occupying Dongsheng Acropolis was only the first step, and it was easy.How to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible and maintain firm and long-term control is the more difficult thing.
