"Powerful long-range fire suppression is enough to keep the enemy from fighting back. No matter how strong the city is, it is impossible to hold out for long under this devastating firepower. Gao Yang, who was half-squinting, raised his hand and patted Huang Degong's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Times have changed, and the sharpness of the spear has surpassed the strength of the shield. We have to keep up with the times tactically. If you cling to the old-fashioned of the past, you will be eliminated. Just like the Spaniards. ”

"Yes, sir!" Huang Degong bowed down with joy and sincerity, "The last general has been taught." ”

Gao Yang's eyebrows stretched, and a smile appeared on his face. Raised his wrist to look at the time, and then at the cloudless weather. wiped the sweat from his forehead, tilted his head slightly, and whispered, "Continue the shelling and wipe this city off me." ”

"Yes, sir!" Huang Degong's body paused slightly, and then he answered loudly again.

Gao Yang nodded, turned around and walked towards his military tent.

It's the hot season on Luzon, and the sun in the sky is very hot. When it's not raining, the sea breeze and a wave of heat envelop the whole land in the scorching heat.

Gao Yang was already sweating and drenched after standing outside for a while. At this time, the Ming army already had an absolute advantage, and he could also hide in the military tent to blow cold air and drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup.

As for the ordinary sergeants, they were also well taken care of. Before coming this time, I was fully prepared to fight in the scorching heat. All kinds of necessary materials are piled up, and there are countless of them. Food, drink, and use are all there. There are also various types of tropical medicines that are essential.

Moreover, after going ashore, all the heavy work was done by the local natives who were temporarily requisitioned, and even the work of guarding was done by the Chinese in Luzon. The Ming soldiers were given plenty of time to recuperate.

This Ming army, which was far ahead of its time, was a hundred times stronger than the locust army that came to the Philippines hundreds of years later! At least Gao Yang won't let his sergeants eat leaves!

Change into loose pants and tank tops, and put your feet on the table with sandals on. Gao Yang, who had a leisurely face, closed his eyes and listened to relaxing music. He had a bowl of iced sour plum soup still bubbling at his hand, which was the only work that Emperor Roufu could handle.

In the corner of the military tent, an air conditioner with the trademark of a well-known brand is 'hissing' towards the entire Chinese military tent. Next to the air-conditioner, there is also a mobile wine cabinet, which is filled with drinks collected by Gao Yang. A tow line board pulls out a long line and connects it to the outside of the tent. A low 'hum' sound could be heard faintly, indicating that the mobile generator was working efficiently.

For the Ming Empire to expand its territory, with the vast overseas land to lure the entire Chinese nation to give up the inherent world concept, stride out, and transform this ancient country into a glorious empire on which the sun never sets. Gao Yang is full of confidence.

Huaxia is not England!

England, Europe's biggest-stirring stick, is a tiny island nation. The population is sparse, resources are scarce, and the external environment is harsh. Even so, this unknown country in the countryside of Europa has become a huge empire that has ruled the world for more than 300 years, spreading English to the rest of the world, which was originally only the native dialect of England, and even becoming a compulsory course for students in some countries! It is the fate of students' lives! It's a complete miracle.

Gao Yang didn't believe in what England could do. There is no reason why the Chinese nation, which has been glorious for thousands of years, can't do it!

At this time, the threat from the north of the entire Ming Empire had been completely eliminated. Northeast China, one of the world's three largest black soils, has become a resettlement place for displaced people and veterans. Millions of people have poured into this land to live. In time, when these populations multiply on a large scale, this land will be firmly in the hands of the Chinese nation, and will become the huge granary and resource base of this empire.

As for the herdsmen on the Mongolian steppe, these guys who have been frightened by the great martial arts of the Ming Dynasty are now more obedient and obedient if they want to be more obedient. Biological sons can't compare.

Gao Yang's heart was like a mirror, he knew that this was the nature of the northern nomads. When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, he groveled to be a slave and a loyal dog. But. Once the Central Plains Dynasty declined, these former minions would tear off their masks and pounce on them and bite them fiercely, never letting go until their mouths were full of blood.

This set of rules that have been inherited for thousands of years, Gao Yang is ready to change it for him!

It is not that the Chinese nation does not lack the ability to occupy the entire grassland. They just think that the steppe is barren. The weather is cold. It is useless to gain it, and it is a pity to discard it.

In addition, those corrupt people who send warmth to outsiders like angels, but are crazy and cruel to their own people, constantly advocate that God has the virtue of a good life. There must be kindness, kindness, kindness or something. Therefore. The farming peoples of the Central Plains did not occupy this huge land after defeating the northern nomads many times.

With little economic value, the corrupt people selling out the interests of the country to earn themselves 10,000 years of infamy, and the weather conditions are harsh, the southerners are extremely unaccustomed to life. These are the real reasons why the Chinese nation has not gone north on a large scale for many years.

Those who have been out of place will soon be born in a large number of new schools. Eliminated by the new ones who have the support of a strong army. After the Ming Empire began to transform into a state similar to Prussia under the militarist system. Both the imperial power and the civilian system will be completely defeated in front of the army!

The emperor will be treated as a puppet, and the civilian system will have no say in the military. The Ming Empire needs to be transformed into a modern militaristic state!

As a terrifying monster, what the army needs is expansion and expansion!

The position of the army is inherently opposed to the virtue advocated by those corrupt people. The rotten people who can only use mouth cannons will inevitably retire under the bayonets of the army!

As a pioneer of the Industrial Revolution, the story of 'sheep eating people' is written in primary school textbooks. The Mongolian steppe, which seems to have little economic value, only opened the budding movement of capitalism. It will inevitably become a natural grassland for countless people to go crazy for.

For the Chinese nation, there is nothing that cannot be done. It just depends on whether there is enough motivation to do it. Driven by powerful economic interests, turning the entire Mongolian steppe into the backyard of the Chinese nation is only a simple matter.

Finally, there is the issue of climatic conditions.

Russians are alive and well in colder, more northern Siberia. What is the Chinese people's life on the Mongolian Plateau?

With the end of the Xiaoice period, global temperatures began to warm rapidly. Heavy snowfall in Guangzhou will gradually disappear in the years to come.

Especially after the large-scale promotion of wool and cotton began, tools such as warm clothing and coal stoves for heating were available. There is no problem for the Chinese nation to go north to Siberia!

After settling in the north, the threat to the homeland was lifted. The Ming Empire, which gradually shifted to a modern militaristic system, was able to devote all its energy to overseas expansion.

The Ming Empire far surpassed England in the countryside of Europa in terms of population, technology, economy, land area, external environment, military strength, etc.

Once the giant beast broke free from the shackles it had placed on itself, it kicked the rotten people who had been transformed beyond recognition by Zhu Xi into the garbage heap. Then there will be no one on this planet who can stop the Sun, Moon and Dragon Banner from rising in any land where the sun can shine!

"The first thing is to make sure that everybody sees the tangible benefits." Get up and go to the wine cabinet to pour yourself a glass of whiskey, take a sip, and think to yourself how to draw everyone's eyes out of the sea.

"There is no more direct way than to let everyone see the white silver and the yellow gold! This reality shock is the best temptation. It's like what Spain and Portugal did. Gao Yang, who was holding the wine glass, sat back in his chair, slowly shook the wine glass in his hand, and watched the amber wine hang layer after layer of silky wine foam in the crystal clear glass.

"The two Spanish treasure ships were loaded with a large number of silver ingots and coins. The island of Luzon is also rich in wealth. You give it all to your officers and soldiers, and when they return home, it's the best advertisement. The origin of listening to Gao Yang's self-talk finally couldn't help but speak.

"Huh." Gao Yang chuckled and nodded, took a sip of whiskey, and then said with a smile, "I want to go together." I had been thinking that after the capture of Manila, all the goods captured would be distributed to all the soldiers who participated in the battle. They traveled thousands of miles to this ghost place to risk their lives to fight, and the environment was still so bad. If you don't give enough benefits to make them laugh, it's better to say it once or twice. If it takes a long time, it will inevitably greatly dampen the combat enthusiasm of the sergeants. ”

Resting his legs on the table again, Gao Yang lowered his eyelids, and his tone became more and more low, "It's okay to say when I'm here." At least no one dared to complain in front of me. But what happens when I'm gone? If the army loses the enthusiasm to expand its territory, can it expect others to take risks? For the ruling class, the Central Plains is rich enough and sufficient for their ruling needs. ”

"That's right." Yuan Dian said loudly, "In this era, the concept of the country and the nation is not strong, and it is not easy to make people work hard and not give enough benefits. This generation of soldiers has been trained well, but what about twenty years later? The vast majority of people must see the benefits of going out. ”

"Got it." Gao Yang nodded slightly, and began to think about the specific distribution plan in his heart.

"Your Excellency!" Huang Degong's shouts sounded outside the Chinese army's tent.

"Huh?" Gao Yang raised his eyelids and put down the wine glass in his hand, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. What else could be going on at this time?

...
