Chapter 735 Jinghai
Most of the Ming Dynasty's navy are now concentrated in Fujian, Taiwan and Taiwan.
Fujian was in Wuzhou, which is now Jinmen. However, in order to deal with wars and facilitate management, the Navy had moved to Meizhou Island more than a month ago.
Zhu Xu listened all the way, went up the island, and went straight to Zhu Youjian's war room.
There are maps hanging on the walls here, four or five large tables are combined together, and there are also confidential rooms, military intelligence rooms, war rooms, etc. They seem to be well organized, but in fact they are messy everywhere.
Standing in the main hall, Zhu Youjian pointed to the huge hand-drawn map on the table and said in a deep voice, "Prince, there are only two places that have been reclaimed in Taiwan. One is the Jilong Island in the northernmost part of Taiwan. It is not big. It is a Danshui City, which is the most suitable for landing. We have built here for many years and have quite complete fortifications. The Red-haired People cannot reach the shore. The other is the Penghu Islands facing south. The most pits are opened and the most population is also built. Anping City is built. This should be the most coveted by the Red-haired People and want to occupy it. However, if you want to attack here, you must occupy the Penghu Islands, which is relatively troublesome, and it is very close to the hinterland of our Ming Dynasty. According to the inferences of Chen and others, if the Red-haired People come, they should occupy Danshui City and then plot against Anping City..."
With the map, it looks clear at a glance.
Zhu Xu looked at it for a while and nodded, "Well, the plan must be comprehensive. You can't guess that the red-haired man doesn't care if he doesn't come to Anping City. Everything must be fully prepared!" Zhu Xu didn't know much about the war, especially the naval battle, so he didn't dare to say more, so he just clicked.
Zhu Youjian immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Penghu and Anping are the focus of our guards. There are sufficient reserves of muskets and artillery, and there are more wasteland reclaimed this year and fewer immigrants. Taiwan has reserved a lot of food. Even if there is a war for half a year, it does not require the support of the court, and it can be fully supported!"
Zhu Xu smiled and felt relieved.
This Taiwan and Taiwan were also prepared for many years, but finally he did not waste his efforts.
Zhu Xu held the table with both hands, Yu Guang glanced at Zhu Youjian and Xiong Wencan, and said with some concern: "You should know that this battle is crucial to our Ming Dynasty. If you win, the benefits will be endless. If you lose, I will only return to Beijing like a turtle. If you dare to stretch out your head, I will not know what time it will be..."
Zhu Youjian and Xiong Wencan's faces changed slightly, and they immediately knelt on one knee and said with confidence: "Don't worry, I will take the heads to guarantee it, Tamsui, peace and peace!"
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Okay, go and arrange it, I'm waiting for your good news!"
"Yes!" Both of them nodded and turned around and went out.
Zhu Xu looked at the backs of the two, and breathed out with his chest. If you want to say who is under the most pressure now, it is undoubtedly him.
After preparing for so many years, I finally got to see the truth.
Xiong Wencan and Zhu Youjian left the war room and gathered the navy's head and mind in Xiong Wencan's general squad room to prepare for discussion of strategies.
The navy has a special configuration, with the general commander and the war room formulating a combat plan. In addition, Zhu Youjian is the King of Tang, and the war room is ignorantly the war room commanding the navy. However, Zhu Youjian knew that his identity was sensitive and he was extremely low-key.
The general, the war room, five deputy generals, twelve generals, and commanded more than 300 ships of all sizes in the navy.
In addition, there are two small fleets stationed in Taiwan, with a total of only 60 ships, mainly guarding the city. Tamsui Governor Liu Jingming, the commander Aobai and Penghu Lake forty ships, led by Zheng Zhilong, and belonged to Han Ziji, the commander of Anping City Governor Han Ziji.
In Xiong Wencan's squad room, there were five deputy generals and eight participating generals. The others had their own tasks and could not arrive as soon as possible.
These people all know that Zhu Xu has arrived, and each one is excited and ready to show off. Everyone knows that as long as they make contributions, the emperor has never been stingy with the rewards!
Xiong Wencan sat in the main seat with a majestic expression. Looking at the expressions of everyone, he glanced at Zhu Youjian again and said lightly, "The emperor has rewarded nearly 10 million grains and silver in Nanzhili, part of which is actually for us. He has already arrived in Fuzhou."
Everyone's eyes lit up. No matter how much they were given, these tens of millions were a terrible number!
Zhu Youjian sat in the lower left head of Xiong Wencan. He already knew Xiong Wencan very well during this period. After hearing him say it, he took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the emperor went out of the capital to inspect the world. This is a grand event that I have never had in the Ming Dynasty! It is just that the sea is injustice, and it is the time when we make achievements and glorify our ancestors!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy general beside him immediately said, "The prince didn't say anything, how do you say you're going to fight? Let's roll up your sleeves!"
There was a speech, and the second one appeared: "That's right, Lord Xiong, Prince, we have been holding it in for so long. We should teach those red-haired ghosts a lesson!"
"Let them see the artillery of our Ming Dynasty and see how sharp our swords and weapons are!"
"Sir, Prince, you guys can't wait for a long time, how can you fight?"
"Sir, Prince, give orders!"
Seeing a group of people so excited, Xiong Wencan frowned a little badly. If the emperor saw this, he would think their navy was a group of mobs!
Zhu Youjian liked the wildness of the navy very much. After they were excited for a while, he said, "The emperor is far-sighted and beyond our reach. The emperor just now told us that we are too passive and waiting for someone to come to the door will damage the prestige of the country. Therefore, Lord Xiong and I are preparing to lead the snake out of the cave, gather and annihilate it, show our country's majesty and demonstrate our emperor's saint!"
Most of the deputy generals here are from grass-roots origins, and few like the sour words in Zhu Youjian's mouth, but they also heard what he meant. One person stretched out his head and asked, "I wonder how the prince is going to lead the snake out of the hole?"
Zhu Youjian said: "Mr. Xiong has discussed and is preparing to implement the 'Jinghai Ceremony'. Any ships that are not allowed by our Ming Navy will be detained. Anyone who refuses to follow will be sunk on the spot!"
Everyone looked slightly shocked. These red-haired ghosts and Franchise men's sea boats were all over the sea, from south to north, so they had to be anxious.
At this moment, more than ten people calmed down. A general in charge said in contemplation: "Prince, the official thinks it is not enough. Why not find an opportunity to lead someone to attack their warships!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a deputy general suddenly lit his eyes and said, "Prince, the official believes that this is not enough. It is better to sink all the merchant ships and send the heads back to them!"
"Yes, didn't he kill our business people? Let's kill too, it depends on who can kill more!"
"If you want to kill, just kill me, kill all the red-haired ghosts near my Ming Dynasty..."
Xiong Wencan heard them become less and less sensible. He coughed and said, "Okay, don't say anything harshly, listen to the prince."
Xiong Wencan is still quite prestigious. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian nodded slightly and said, "It's not all nonsense. Apart from seizing merchant ships, sneak attacking warships, and giving away some heads, but he must have a thorough plan and you can't just make dumplings..."
Zhu Youjian's words made these deputy generals very satisfied. They all looked excited and were ready to rub their hands.
Zhu Youjian spread out the map and said, "Ryukyu, Japan, there are various bases to carry out the execution. They investigated and dealt with each other nearby. They were far away from the Red Haired People and the Franchise People. There is no danger. The key is us..."
Everyone stretched their heads, including Xiong Wencan, leaned forward and looked at them seriously.
Zhu Youjian studied these things very thoroughly and pointed at it, "Let's use the sea area from Taiwan to Luzon as the combat area, and send 15 small ships of the medium ships, 75 small ships, divided into 15 directions, each three are horns, nine are big horns, and the other six are maneuvers to cover all this area. If it is a small warship of the Red Haired Man, it will be sunk directly. If it is a large one, it can make dumplings, and if it cannot, it must be decisively evacuated..."
Everyone's eyes turned with Zhu Youjian's carbon pen and saw a huge arc-shaped area. They were excited and had a bright look, but they didn't listen much to his words.
Zhu Youjian didn't care. He changed the subject and said, "Then everyone should prepare for war strictly and not slacken. The war room will develop specific combat plans later, and you must not leave without permission!"
"As for order!" A group of deputy generals and generals responded, looking at Xiong Wencan.
Zhu Youjian explained the plan, and the specific arrangements will be decided by Xiong Wencan.
Xiong Wencan looked at a group of people and secretly had a headache. When they were fine, they were yelling that when there was no war, their eyes were like lights, and they were almost screaming.
