Jinyiwei's telecommunication system in Europe was very fast, from Madrid to Valencia, and then sent people to the Ming Army base on the Eurasian Canal by clipper in less than two days, so on the third day after Zheng Chenggong arrived in Madrid, Zhu Cijiong received his telegram.

There was a lot of content in the telegram, not only the problems of large shipyards and telegraph lines, but Zheng Chenggong also mentioned the problem of Princess Maria in passing.

As for the problem of large shipyards, Zhu Cijiong didn't have to think about it, and he was directly approved.

When he proposed to build a large shipyard for Spain and Portugal each with an annual output of 100 super battleships, he did not want to limit them to only 100 super battleships a year, but because he was afraid that they would not be able to build more.

You must know that shipbuilding is not only a shipyard, but also workers, but also materials, Spain and Portugal do not rely on colonial supplies, and even the materials of a hundred super battleships are a problem, not to mention the workers, their population is simply not in the same order of magnitude as the Ming Dynasty.

It was very difficult for Daming to gather skilled workers to produce 400 super battleships a year, he thought that Spain and Portugal could gather skilled workers to produce 100 super battleships a year was the limit, and he never thought that Philip IV would want to build 200 super battleships a year.

It's good to build 200 ships a year, so with the addition of the Ming and Portuguese ones, the annual production capacity of the entire Daming Habsburg Alliance will reach 700 super battleships, which will definitely exceed the annual output of warships of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, so that the advantage of fighting a war of attrition is obvious.

As for the question of whether the Spanish Navy will surpass the Ming Empire, Zhu Cijiong is not worried at all, the Ming Dynasty is ready to produce 400 super battleships a year, besides, even if the Spanish Super Battleship production goes up, their population base is there, there are so many warships in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no navy like the Ming Dynasty to open it!

As for the issue of telegraph lines, not to mention, Zhu Cijiong had already planned to pull the telegraph line directly to the Strait of Gibraltar through the Ottoman colonies in North Africa, and then lay a submarine cable, pull the telegraph line to Spain, and connect the telegraph line over there.

It's just that the telegraph line and the Eurasian railway are planned together, and now even the railway to the Holy Roman Empire has not been built, and the telegraph line in North Africa has naturally not yet begun, and he just extended the telegraph line to the Ming army base in the Eurasian Canal for the convenience of communication.

Now that the great war with the anti-Habsburg coalition had begun, and the telegraph line had become the most important means of communication, he could not wait any longer, and he decided to immediately send someone to lay a special line to Spain.

Zheng Chenggong's question of wanting to marry Princess Maria was even more of a surprise to Zhu Cijiong, this kid was finally getting married, it seemed that he should be very satisfied with that Princess Maria, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to ask for advice.

This is a good thing, marriage was originally the most common and most important means of communication between countries in this period, and Zheng Cheng's function took the initiative to marry the Spanish royal family.

This kind of good thing must not only be approved, but also something must be taken out as a dowry, after all, Zheng Chenggong is his royal brother, and if he doesn't show it, he won't show that he is stingy as a big brother.

What is a good dowry? Zhu Cijiong really couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Money? It seems inappropriate, Zheng Chenggong is not short of money, and he has to pay him for a dowry, and he is a little embarrassed.

What about other things? It seems that Zheng Chenggong lacks nothing, and it is really hard to come up with what he doesn't have!

Just as he was pondering what to use as a dowry, Zheng Chenggong's second telegram arrived.

This telegram had been sent by him after he had beaten Gaston, and it was obvious that France was playing tricks on it.

Zhu Cijiong was also angry after seeing the telegram, he was nai, every time this Richeliu played conspiracy and tricks, it was really muddy when the Ming Empire was muddy!

I couldn't reach them before, but now I can't reach them, Zhu Cijiong decided to give them some color!

He flipped out the map, took a closer look, and a bold tactic popped into his mind.

This tactic is actually the tactic that Richelieu used to deal with the Ming Dynasty, to put it simply, it blooms everywhere and makes them overwhelmed.

Now, Zheng Chenggong is a point there, and Zhu Cijiong is ready to let Zheng Chenggong rely on the base at the mouth of the Guadiana River to constantly make a posture of attacking the Gold Coast in order to consume the forces of the anti-Habsburg coalition.

In addition, at the beginning of the year, he had a plan to open up a new battlefield in North America and directly send the army over to eliminate the foreign powers there.

In addition, the tactics of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao proposed by Lu Xiangsheng and the harassment tactics of small-scale elite troops proposed by Huang Long can also be implemented together, but the tactics of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao are implemented by the Spanish Army, and the Ming Dynasty only produces small-scale elite troops.

In other words, how could Spain listen to the Ming Dynasty and put on a posture to attack the south of France?

It's very simple, didn't Zhu Cijiong think about the dowry just now, he thought about it, that is, to refurbish all the field howitzers of the three first-class regiments and send them to Spain as a dowry, on the condition that they put on a posture to attack southern France.

Now the first-class legion has begun to reload the Shenwei cannon, and those howitzers can only be redressed for the second-class and third-class legions, so it is better to give them to Spain, anyway, all the legions will be equipped with Shenwei cannons in the future, and the province will be exchanged for trouble.

As for the small group of elite troops, they were selected from the Guanning Army, the Dongjiang Army and the Dingliao Army, and each army selected 10,000 elites, so that they could constantly harass southern France on the basis of the northern Spanish defense line, anyway, their current task was to garrison the batteries and bastions at the mouth of the Guadiana River, and it didn't matter if they took some people.

In short, this point is to make the whole south of France unstable, so that they are worried every day and have no good life.

Another point is the Siberian Plain, where five regular army corps can now be stationed, and they are idle anyway, and after the ice and snow melt, let them put on an offensive posture and threaten Tsarist Russia. If the great powers come to support, it will be just right, at least two or three hundred thousand more troops will be spent here to garrison, and the weight of grain and grass will be enough for them to drink a pot.

Also, the Eurasian railway will be built to the Holy Roman Empire next year, and then the Ming Dynasty will be able to directly send troops by land to threaten the Netherlands, the Dutch navy is very powerful, and the army is far behind, so send two or three legions over to see what they do.

The protracted war is about attrition, and the Ming Dynasty now has so many regular legions anyway, and it is better to let them harass everywhere and consume the manpower and material resources of the anti-Habsburg alliance.

The current Ming Dynasty has a territory several times more than that of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, and its population is more than ten times that of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance.
