"And this is only a small island country, but it is said that the domestic production of silver, silver is extremely cheap, just for my holy country. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe king and the powerful ministers in the country are still in dispute, and the army is weak, which is far less than the previous Japanese period. The Holy King could also send a naval division, transport tens of thousands of troops, and conquer the capital in one fell swoop, just as the Westerners forced the Manchus more than ten years ago, forcing them to sign an armistice and surrender treaty, earn the war compensation silver, and ask for trade so that the Nanyang Company could earn trade profits. In addition, they can also recruit their countrymen as miners, mine minerals on their land, and transport them back to the holy country. ”

Wang Minyun took a breath and continued: "Once the Yueben is forced to surrender, a large number of mercenaries similar to the Japanese can also be formed to accompany the Holy Country's captive army to attack Liaodong. Once Liaodong is occupied, it can take advantage of the situation to attack Korea with its own soldiers and completely annex Korea. ”

Wang Minyun pointed to the sea area south of Moswan Island and said, "Holy King, according to Minyun, in the next few decades, it will be the world of sea sailors. For example, a small barbarian country in the West was able to occupy several provinces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with an army of tens of millions of troops and defeat hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers. ”

Feng Yunshan couldn't help but be embarrassed, he couldn't imagine that he was a dignified traverser, and he was instilled by a scholar and his own staff with the argument that "the future is the era of the ocean, and whoever owns the ocean will own the world". However, on the other hand, it also shows that his staff is really unique and vicious!

Feng Yunshan thought he was finished, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang is reasonable!" ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Minyun arched his hand, continued to point to Vietnam and the South China Sea on the map, and continued: "Holy King, there are still these places. This Vietnam was Annam in history, which originally belonged to the territory of China, rich in rice, which can feed countless people, and is really an excellent granary of our holy country! Now its territory was stolen by the Ruan Dynasty, although it was a vassal state to the Manchu Dynasty, but it was actually an independent kingdom, and the Ruan clan was even more emperor. Starting from the attack on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is also necessary to take down the Ruan Dynasty, at least force it to surrender to our holy country, call it a vassal to the suzerainty of our Han people, and pay tribute to rice, mahogany, and other special products every year. ”

"There are also the Nanzhang countries, Siam countries and other places next to this, all of which are rich in rice, and can be the largest rice warehouse in my holy country! More importantly, Holy King, just take this place! Wang Minyun pointed to the Strait of Malacca: "You can stop the Western Ocean from coming to China." There is no need to worry about the invasion of the West. This is especially important! ”

Feng Yunshan was surprised! This! This Wang Minyun is also a traverser, and his vision is so huge and his vision is so broad, which makes Feng Yunshan shocked.

To be honest, he also thought about occupying the Nam Zhang, Siam, Nguyen Vietnam, Luzon and other places at most, but he did not think about occupying the Strait of Malacca and other places in the future. After all, it had already been occupied by the British, and a Governor of the Straits had been set up to guard it. But Wang Minyun certainly did not know that he had so accurately judged the importance of the Strait of Malacca from the map alone, which shows that his vision was indeed vicious.

Zuo Zongtang next to him was also stunned! He has always considered himself talented and knowledgeable, and he has compared himself to Kong Ming for a long time, known as "Jinliang", but he didn't expect to find out today that he was compared with Wang Minyun, a famous man in Hunan Province, or the vision pattern is too small. What I have been staring at is the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has been China since ancient times, and I have never thought of jumping out of this circle, regardless of barbarians, looking at these things with a practical eye of the world.

Lu Shunde was even more excited and said: "Oh, what Mr. Wang said is very good!" The Holy King, Lu Mou, asked Ying, and then set up a sailor, crisscrossing the open sea, expelling the Yangyi, and expanding the territory for the Holy King. ”

Feng Yunshan said with a smile: "Brother Shunde, don't worry, when you really form a new water division, this king will let you lead it." "Some time ago, Feng Yunshan wanted to transfer Lu Shunde out of the General Staff, but there was no good place to go for a while, and he didn't want Zuo Zongtang to be in charge of the General Staff alone. Now that the old matter is brought up again, Feng Yunshan had no choice but to readily agree.

"What Mr. Wang said is exactly what the king intends from the bottom of his heart. However, some of them are not in a hurry for the time being. According to everyone's suggestion, the king decided that the captive army would send troops to three places first: the east road to attack Zheqi; The middle route attacked Nanyue Prefecture, Lizhou and Jingzhou, Yichang and other places in the north; On the west road, this king had sent the second division to attack Yunan a month ago, and sent another army to help open the passage from Yunnan to Siqi as soon as possible and attack the land of Sichuan and Shu. As for Siam, Vietnam, and other places, let's put it aside for the time being, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Feng Yunshan thought that 1,500 of the 1,500 soldiers of the captive army he had personally trained had already been selected to serve as drill instructors for the new military training method, and they had been assigned to the 1st to 8th Divisions and the 1st to 7th Divisions of B1 to B in batches.

At present, the weapons that have arrived are only 10,000 Dresser M1841 needle muskets and 300 30-pound framed front-loading smoothbore guns, 20,000 Springfield firing muskets and Colt revolvers, 17,000 Sharps rifles, and warships ordered from the United States.

Therefore, the captives are not yet able to achieve a foreign gun per person, and even a bird gun is not ready, but with 10,000 Dresser M1841 needle muskets, they can basically be invincible in the field.

The rest is a matter of accepting the occupied territory and digesting it.

In early December, after some preparations, the General Staff of the Capture Army issued an order to dispatch troops issued by the Holy King:

Eastern Front: The Eighth Division led by Chen Tianshi took the naval division warship to the coast of the Zheqi River and attacked Wenzhou. At the same time, the 4th Division B, which was in Guangxin Mansion in the west of the country, under the leadership of the division commander Qiu Changdao, was ordered to attack the Quzhou Prefecture of Zhejiang. From the east and west, the land and water simultaneously attacked Zhejiang, encircling Fuzhou and other places.

Central Front: The 3rd Division of the First Army, which was stationed in Changdefu, the 4th Division of the 14th Division, and the 5,000 Inland Water Division and the 7th Division of the First Army, originally led by Peng Yulin, totaled nearly 40,000 soldiers and soldiers to attack Yuezhou, and then turned northwest to attack Lizhou, Jingzhou, and Shinan Fu until attacking Chongqing and other places along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Western Front: The 6th Division of the 16th Division stationed in Taipingfu, together with the 4th Brigade of the B, entered the territory of Yunan from Zhen'an Mansion to assist the 2nd Division A to capture Yunan and other places, and after seizing the copper mines of each prefecture, Li Kaifang, the commander of the 2nd Division, commanded two first-class divisions to go north to capture Xuzhou, Jiading and other prefectures in Sichuan, and occupy the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The dispatch of troops this time can be described as huge, and all the departments of the General Staff and the Shengwang Palaces have taken action, mobilized personnel and people, as well as food and military uniforms. Fortunately, although there was no bumper grain harvest this year, and Guangxi was even plagued by locusts, the grain did not cause much trouble because it had occupied a lot of new territory, seized a large amount of rice, and had a good harvest in Guangdong, Munan, and other places that had been occupied for a long time.

Several divisions of the main battle armor were equipped with new foreign guns and ammunition, and even prepared a small number of newly arrived 30-pound racked and retired front-loading smoothbore guns.

In addition, the General Staff dispatched several second-class brigades, ready to follow closely behind the first-class divisions that sent troops, and at any time to take over the captured territory.
