Chapter 158: The King Comes North
Xiaotian's brainwashing has now been on a large scale, and the era when Xiaotian personally went into battle for brainwashing is gone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiaotian fully studied the methods of political education of our party in later generations. In addition to the captain, each team is equipped with a political commissar, all of whom are from Xiaotian's personal guards, and have the deepest understanding of Xiaotian's thoughts.
Although it is a bit nonsense to hold a grievance meeting now, we pirates can have a banquet. Xiaotian's generous welfare benefits and all kinds of advanced ideas that armed the brain were rapidly spread among Xu Hai's gang under the slight drunkenness of alcohol at the banquet. In just two days, the group's loyalty to Xu Hai has dropped a lot.
It took more than half a month to drive all the way south to their destination, Shan Ma Xi (Singapore). And Xu Hai's subordinates, after half a month of brainwashing by Xiaotian, most of their loyalty is about to bottom out.
Both Xiaotian and Warlord agreed to use Shan Ma Xi as a base for the front line, and use it as a springboard to attack Luzon. In contrast, Macau was a little farther away from Luzon, so their supply lines would be too long. And to choose a springboard, I really can't find a more suitable one than Shan Maxi.
Shan Ma Xi is located in the south of Luzon, and at this time Shan Ma Xi is almost 360 degrees surrounded by the power of the Spanish pirates, it is Srivijaya in the north, Johor in the south, and the destination Luzon in the northeast, all of which are the sphere of influence of the Spanish pirates. Occupying this place is equivalent to inserting a nail in the heart of the Spaniards, and from here, they can attack any force of the Spaniards at will.
Of course, it is extremely dangerous to stick a nail in the heart of the enemy, which is equivalent to actively burrowing into the enemy's encirclement. In a war in the traditional sense, such tactics must never be used, this is not a battle, this is simply sending people to death. Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou expressed their incomprehension.
But Xiaotian and Hua Luoshi insisted on going their own way, although these two people are peerless generals, they have no real experience in naval warfare, and their thoughts are still stuck in the routine of land warfare. Shan Ma Xi is a small island surrounded by the sea, and his territory is only so large, he is destined to only decide the victory through naval battles. The Spaniards around them couldn't swim no matter how close they were.
And the so-called encirclement in a naval battle does not make any sense, in the boundless sea, who can you encircle? In other words, as long as Xiaotian can win their naval battle, it doesn't matter to Xiaotian whether the encirclement is close or not. It was impossible for the Spaniards to fly to a single Marcy.
This is the idea of naval warfare, where the attacker always has an advantage over the defender and is more mobile. If you get the right to control the sea, you can fight whoever you want.
As for Xiaotian, can they get the right to control the sea? Lotte-san, who has more than 500 large ships and more than 4,000 cannons, said that it is soeasy. Xiaotian's strength after the combination of several parties, not to mention the Spanish Far East team, is to pull their European mainland, the so-called invincible armada, that is, to send people's heads.
Shan Maxi, the garden city of later generations, was poor at this time, to use a more poetic phrase: there is sunshine everywhere here, because there is nothing but sunshine.
Administratively, the poor Shan Maxi should be affiliated with Srivijaya, but this is only administrative, in fact, he has little to do with Sriwijaya. Sriwijaya executive order, it is difficult to cross the strait to get to them. For many years, this was an anarchic zone, with poor mountains and bad waters, and no one wanted to take care of their.
When the Spaniards came, they completely occupied the area and colonized it. These robbers are much more ruthless than the Ming pirates, who bully men and women on the island, and completely treat the locals as slaves. The people of the island did not think of resisting, but they lacked soldiers, food, and weapons, so they could not carry stones and blocks to charge the Spaniards' musket array! As a result, several slight rebellions were quickly suppressed, and not even a single wave was raised.
When Zheng He went to the West, he resupplied and rested here many times, bringing them advanced civilization and countless people of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, there were already more Ming people than natives on Shan Maxi. Many customs and habits are no different from Daming, which is one of the reasons why Xiaotian chose this place as a springboard.
During this period, they still have their hearts set on the king, and they are always proud and proud of being the Ming people, and they are always looking forward to the king of the Ming Dynasty coming north to drive away these red-haired devils for them.
When Xiaotian and their warships slowly sailed into view from the intersection of the sea and the sky, these Ming people danced excitedly.
"Grandpa, what's that? Is it a ship? How can it be so big! ”
With the child's questioning, the people around him also turned their eyes to this old man, hoping that his rich experience and profound knowledge could give everyone an answer.
I saw this old man with white hair and hair, and he couldn't tell how old he was, with tears in his eyes and trembling lips, he trembled and roared: "Zheng He treasure boat!" That's right, it must be Zheng He's treasure ship! Master Wang! Wang Shibei is here! ”
The people around hugged each other and cried, with tears of excitement and excitement, shouting loudly, roaring unbridledly, they had been away from home for too long, they didn't know who the current emperor was, and they didn't know what year it was, but the longing for home in their hearts had never been forgotten. This is their pride, this is their earnest expectation, in their minds, as soon as my famous Wang Shi arrives, these red-haired devils are just local chickens and dogs, they will soon be able to return to the rule of the Celestial Empire and live that happy life.
Compared with the excited Da Ming people, those Spanish red-haired devils were completely confused. Suddenly such a large fleet of ships that didn't know whether they were friends or foes came out of the sea, and their arrears of intelligence couldn't be understood at all.
As the supreme governor of the Spanish Empire in the Shan Maxi region, Childos had no idea what kind of order to give at this time. Looking at the attentive eyes of his subordinates, he only felt a burst of soreness in his back molars.
He was originally a young master of a noble family, and he had not touched a gun much in the past twenty years, let alone fighting. This time I came to the Far East, just to brush up on my merits, and the commander knew that this was a young master, and he specially chose such a small place for him, and he only needed to be responsible for supplying some fresh water and supplies to the incoming fleet every day, and occasionally suppressing some disobedient aborigines, this job can be done well even by a special pig.
Therefore, Childos's usual small life is extremely leisurely, walking his dog every day, robbing some pleasing people's girls, going to the restaurant opened by the Ming people to fight tooth sacrifices, how beautiful the small life is. At this time, when you encounter such a fleet, do you still expect such people to come up with any strange plan? (To be continued.) )
