Chapter 253: The First Step of the Long March
"Your Majesty, there is Daya Bay ahead."
Huang Jianjie, who had just served as the deputy of Xiao Guizi, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was very familiar with the situation in this area, and reported to Zhu Youxiao, who was not far away.
He went south with the army this time, which can be regarded as a great disaster, and he returned to his hometown with honor, and he was very excited in his heart, and he couldn't wait to show it in front of His Majesty the Emperor immediately.
"Daya Bay is not far from the past, and it is the sea area of Lingdingyang, and these two places are large and small islands, like dotted around."
"The waters in the bay are relatively calm and wide, making them suitable for hiding, ambushes, and large-scale naval engagements."
"There's plenty of sea width for pirates and Cantonese sailors to do."
Huang Jianjie is a local near the Lingdingyang Sea, and in the past few years, he has been working part-time as a translator for Westerners, and his business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many eyeliners all over the Nanyang.
Therefore, it is very convenient to let him be an intelligence officer now.
However, these manpower of his will soon be assessed and reorganized by Xiao Guizi, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Huang Jianjie will also lose his direct command.
For this guy, with the reminder of His Majesty the Emperor, Xiao Guizi will never let him become big, and he must be kept under close surveillance.
In order to deter this traitor translator, Zhu Youxiao just showed the magic of the mutated golden eagle, which frightened him.
There is no way not to be afraid, with the spirituality and unparalleled lethality of the golden eagle, as long as it remembers the appearance and breath of this person, even if it is the size of the world, there is absolutely no way to escape.
This is also the biggest hole card that Zhu Youxiao is not worried about whether Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang and others will re-enlarge.
If he really provoked him, Zhu Youxiao would definitely not mind sending a big golden eagle to tear Zheng Zhilong, Liu Xiang and others apart.
However, in order not to break the balance, and not to give the so-called historical inertia and make a greater counterattack on himself, which will lead to unpredictable consequences, under normal circumstances, these mutant beasts raised by Zhu Youxiao will not let them kill.
According to Huang Jianjie, this Daya Bay is an important activity area for Liu Xiang and other Guangdong pirates, and there are some pirates and their families living on many nearby islands.
The same is true of the waters of the Lingding Ocean, where many pirates operate, and even some islands with freshwater springs, most of which are the nests of large and small pirate groups.
It can be said that anyone who controls Daya Bay and the Lingding Ocean will control the incomparably fertile vast area of the Pearl River Delta.
In this maritime era that has come, it is equivalent to controlling Guangdong's economy and development.
In this vast area, Macau and Hong Kong are now just two ordinary islands.
There are many large and small islands and harbors of equal importance suitable for human survival in this vast area.
Once it is occupied by Zhu Youxiao's Ming Empire, then Liu Xiang and other pirates, big and small, will lose the two most important areas of activity.
Next, the Ming royal fleet will drive straight into the area of the Pearl River estuary, and completely exterminate or expel this vast group of pirates from this area.
Then, Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong and others have become rootless Ping, lost dogs.
This is the territory of the Guangdong sailors, and it is also a pirate paradise in many coastal areas, and now there is a foreign invasion, how can they be indifferent?
Being able to become a pirate organization, they are definitely extremely murderous people, under normal circumstances, they are not afraid of death, basically the personality of every pirate.
The Grand Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, now sailing into Daya Bay, can be said to have an unstable foothold here, as soon as they entered Daya Bay, they encountered a small group of pirate fleets to harass, and the two sides had a small-scale exchange of fire.
The Royal Navy fleet, naturally, easily routed the harassing pirate fleet, sinking and capturing a dozen pirate ships. 90 Literature Network
Everyone is still very dissatisfied with this result.
Although Liu Xiang and others' Guangdong sailors have been wiped out, there are still many pirate groups entrenched in this sea area.
Since the Royal Navy fleet went south yesterday, the pirates on the Guangdong side knew that the Grand Fleet was not easy to mess with, and when they saw the Royal Navy fleet, they took the initiative to retreat, and in this nearly one day and one night, they only captured and sank more than 100 pirate ships piecemeal.
This made the officers and men of the Royal Navy feel very uncomfortable.
Although he has achieved a lot of results by confiscating the pirate nests along the coast, he has never encountered strong resistance from the pirates.
This had alarmed the officers and men of the Royal Fleet, and the reason for this was learned through reports from the CIA and Military Intelligence officers.
These large and small pirate groups, because Liu Xiang and others took the Guangdong sailors to the Yuegang Alliance, they basically lost ninety percent of their strength, so most of the pirates shrank up.
After entering Daya Bay, the Grand Fleet did not anchor and rest in the area around the north shore of Daya Bay, and the fleet did not lack supplies.
After all, the Grand Fleet only set off from Moon Harbor yesterday, relying on the super-fast speed of the ship, only a day and a night have passed, and they have already arrived near the target area.
At this time, the economy in this area was not prosperous, there were only a few small fishing villages along the coast, and the agricultural economy was not very good, and it looked very desolate.
However, there are many islands in Daya Bay, and the hydrological conditions are quite good, and it is relatively remote, which is the favorite place for pirates to stay.
In the entire Daya Bay area, the imperial court only built a Dapeng Acropolis, with 300 officers and soldiers, led by a thousand generals, to prevent the Japanese and prepare for the Japanese, there were three or four warships, and they were small boats, and they could not control the entire Daya Bay at all.
Therefore, this place has always been a place where pirates are rampant, and in addition to staying here to shelter from the wind, pirates are also here to replenish supplies.
In addition, this sea area is also the place where they ship, which has been controlled by Liu Xiang over the years and has become an important base for Liu Xiang.
"Prime Minister Zhong, let the fleet immediately divide into ten sub-fleets, attack everywhere, and first clear all the islands on the periphery of Daya Bay and the Lingding Ocean Sea as soon as possible."
Because the enemies in this sea area are not only not strong, but also some rabble, in order to speed up the efficiency of the operation, as soon as the Grand Fleet entered the sea area on the north shore of Daya Bay, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered.
"Also, immediately put down all the reconnaissance clippers, let all the reconnaissance ship detachments dispatch, and first find out the general situation in this sea area, especially the Portuguese in the trenches."
"The same way as before, kill all those who have committed the most heinous crimes on the spot!"
"The rest of the people, regardless of officials, bandits and people, will be arrested, and I will gather them in these places, start the construction of three large ports and corresponding port cities, and vigorously promote the implementation of the two basic national policies."
He pointed to the big wooden table in front of him, the places marked on the simple map, and said to Zhong Jixiang, Xiao Guizi, Huang Jianjie and others:
"These locations, I call them Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Hong Kong, and the trenches that are about to be captured are called Macao."
"In the future, the coastal areas of Guangdong will focus on these four places for development, and then gradually spread to the surrounding areas."
Since he went south to the waters of Guangdong, his day and night have not been in vain, and he has made preliminary plans.
Although he is full of confidence, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not be careless, and he has to be cautious in everything.
Now that his mental attributes have reached a certain limit, his mind is flexible, his thinking is quick, and his learning ability is superb, and he has gone through countless winds and waves these days, and he has also learned the general routine of how to command the navy and army in battle.
Zhuge Liang will also carelessly lose Jingzhou, leading to the arrival of the crisis of national destruction, not to mention himself?
Therefore, he will definitely not be arrogant, thinking that the current armament and force of the Ming Empire can easily crush any other forces, and he began to be complacent.
Zhu Youxiao knew that with such a magical and powerful "craftsman hammer" in his body, his life in this life, the first step of the Long March, and the infinitely wonderful future was just the beginning.
