Just when Wu Weizhong was in Macau, he was in a lobby of Wu Wang's Mansion in Hangzhou.

Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Qi Jiguang, Xiang Yu and other famous generals gathered together, in addition to the famous generals Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Li Mu, Meng Tian, Han Xin and the famous minister Xiao He and others.

It's just that there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere between these people, Li Mu looked at Wang Jian and the others with an unkind face, and Wang Jian and the others looked at Xiang Yu very unpleasantly.

Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin with a murderous face, and if he didn't agree with him, he pulled Han Xin into a posture of three hundred rounds of competition.

This made Lu Yan feel an incomparable headache, and it seemed that he would have to find a way to separate them in the future.

Otherwise, instead of fighting the enemy, your own people would have fought first.

The reason why he summoned Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Han Xin and others in advance was that he hoped that they would be familiar with the war in the new era.

After all, with the advancement of technology, the war is completely different now than before.

For example, the appearance of artillery and muskets, and the great increase in the power of cavalry.

He hoped that they would be able to adapt to the current rhythm of war as soon as possible.

On the wall in front of the lobby is a simple map of the world, in which the Ming Dynasty is heavily marked in green.

Lu Yan was at the head of the lobby and said to them: "Now I will tell me about our future battle plan, first of all, our task is to vigorously expand the territory of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"My first battle plan was to send a fleet south to Luzon to capture Manila and avenge the slaughter of our Ming people. After laying Manila. The next plan was divided into two parts: westward and southward. ”

"To the south is to go straight down to the claw, and then to capture Australia and New Zealand."

Lu Yan pointed to the map and said.

"The enemies of Java were mainly the Dutch in Batavia, where there were only two to three thousand men at most. Therefore it cannot be our opponent. After the capture of Luzon, our army will continue to capture the whole of Jawwa. ”

"As for Australia, it is a vast and sparsely populated place, it has rich resources and a small number of indigenous people, and its area is almost the same size as the Ming Dynasty. There are only a small number of uncivilized natives living there, and it is easy to defeat them. As long as Australia is conquered, then we can almost double the territory of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Everyone looked at Australia and nodded, they had only thought about expanding from land before. But it never thought of expanding from the sea.

None of them thought that the enemy at sea would be so weak and expand such a vast territory casually.

"As for the westward advance, it is to attack Malacca. There is still a force of Dutch entrenched there, but rest assured, they are no match for us, and I will send a fleet with absolute superiority. Defeat the Dutch who were entrenched there. ”

"Malacca is a vital place, it is the main road between the east and the west, and I will garrison it and collect tolls, and any Western ship that tries to pass through it will have to pay between one thousand and three thousand taels of silver."

Lu Yan said.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp, Lu Yan is really dark enough, one thousand taels is not a small number.

"In addition to this, it is forbidden for any ship passing through Malacca to carry artillery and muskets, crossbows. You can have them temporarily store these weapons there so that they don't enter the South China Sea to loot. As a reward, of course. We do need to charge a small storage fee. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, presumably this management fee is not a small number.

"Our main enemy next is Tianzhu, Tianzhu is a powerful enemy, but it is certainly not our opponent. However, Tianzhu is very large, and it is estimated that it will take several years to lay Tianzhu. On the sea route from Malacca to Tianzhu. If any nation dares to show hostility towards us, I will allow you to occupy them. ”

"All you have to do along the way is conquer. Conquer all those who are hostile to us, and occupy all the rich territories. ”

"After the capture of Tianzhu, our greatest enemy is the Ottoman Empire. This country is stronger than any of our previous opponents, but not too much. ”

Later generations bragged about the Ottoman Empire, but Lu Yan didn't think he was strong.

Isn't it just that there are too many people? In terms of population, it is no less than others.

"When the time comes, I hope to unite the Europeans and carry out an east-west attack on the Ottomans. However, I don't think it's very likely that the Europeans will agree. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yan smiled.

The Europeans are not fools, and if he hits the Ottomans, then the ambitions of the Ming Dynasty for expansion have been exposed.

They would surely guess that after defeating the Ottomans, Lü Yan would smash all of Europe like Genghis Khan, so it is likely that Lü Yan would not agree to Lü Yan's request.

"Whether we unite with the Europeans or fight the Ottomans alone, we must destroy the Ottoman Empire, and even if necessary, I will personally conquer the Ottoman Empire."

"Lord, you want to attack the Ottoman Empire in person?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's right, we must have unified the Ming by then. Sending large armies from here to the Ottoman Empire was not only time-consuming, but also costly. If I had gone in person, I would have saved a lot of money. ”

Lu Yan said.

Everyone nodded, and they all understood what Lu Yan said.

It's just that what will Daming do when the time comes? Will it be left to his son to take care of?

"After the capture of the Ottoman Empire, we will have a decisive battle with the whole of Europe."

Speaking of this, Lu Yan's face showed a hint of excitement.

"When the time comes, I will gather a flood army and flood the whole of Europe, and only by truly emasculating the whole of Europe can we stand on top of the world forever."

At that time, the military merit value he has must be massive, and it will not be easy to destroy the whole of Europe.

And he intends to develop the Mini rifle, and when the time comes, suddenly use this weapon, and how will those Europeans be their opponents.

"Just if we do it. It's going to be costly. Where are we going to get enough money to sustain this war? ”

Li Jing said with some concern.

In Chinese history, there are definitely not a few people who died because of launching foreign wars, and the most typical one is Yang Guang.

Because he waged several wars against Goryeo, plus the construction of the Grand Canal. As a result, the people were miserable, and finally the Sui Dynasty died.

In addition, there is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched a war against the Xiongnu, almost exhausted the treasury accumulated by Emperor Wenjing, and after driving away the Huns, those grasslands were uninhabitable.

In the end, I could only grab some cattle and sheep back, because this was criticized by many people.

Lu Yan nodded. He also understands that this is a very important issue.

"Many of the areas we are about to occupy are rich areas, such as Tianzhu. For example, Champa has vast plains and a large amount of arable land. As long as these areas are occupied, we can migrate to them. In addition to this, many parts of these regions are rich in gold jewelry. We can bring back some of the gold and jewelry we have looted to meet the cost of the war. ”

When it comes to arable land, Ah San is much stronger than China, unlike China, which has so many mountains and plateaus.

Although his territory is not as large as China's, when it comes to arable land, it definitely has much more arable land than China.

And this place has a hot and humid climate, which is very suitable for growing grain, and it is definitely a real place of ointment.

"In addition, I allow you to fight as much as you can, and you can even conscript local natives to serve in the war effort. For example, to build weapons and armor, repair weapons, etc., as long as you need it, you can requisition the local natives at will. I promise I won't blame you for that. ”

Hearing this, many people gasped.

This is a typical war to feed war, it is estimated that because of Lu Yan's words, those natives don't know how much to die.

"Remember, but those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Now the natives of the South Seas are deferential to us, and that's because they don't have a chance. Wait until they have the support of others. They will massacre our local Ming people, and even dare to argue with us. So you remember. We must take advantage of our lifetime to completely solve this hidden danger. ”

Lu Yan said faintly.

He has never forgotten how much blood and tears the Chinese in Southeast Asia have been in later generations, and there is only one word for the natives of Nanyang, that is, kill.

"Of course, these may not be enough for our needs. My other plan is to attack the Wa Kingdom, which has a lot of silver mines, as long as we take down the Wa Kingdom and then state all these silver mines. In this way, we can have a steady stream of large quantities of silver to provide financial resources for our foreign wars. ”

Lu Yan continued.

Why are Westerners so rich, it's not all robbed and robbed.

In addition, there are Mexico's silver mines, and Spain has almost become the richest country in the world because of Mexico's silver mines.

At present, Japan's silver production is almost not inferior to Mexico's, and as long as some Japanese laborers are levied at will, the silver is not constantly flowing into Lu Yan's pocket.

The cost of the huge income was nothing more than some grain and the lives of some slaves, and only a fool would have to do such a thing.

Lu Yan felt that he should put the attack on the Japanese state on the agenda.

"In addition, the most important thing for us is to attack the Jurchens in Liaodong. We have already negotiated with the imperial court, and the imperial court will transfer the Phi Dao to us, and we will deploy 30,000 horses in Phi Dao and Korea within a year to contain the Jurchens in Liaodong. ”

"Other than that, I'm going to talk to North Korea. To lease Jeju Island to us as well, we need to store a certain amount of food and supplies on Jeju Island, and deploy a fleet on Jeju Island in preparation for an attack on the Japanese state. ”

Lu Yan said.

It was most convenient to attack the Wa Kingdom from Jeju Island, where the historical Yuan Dynasty invaded the Wa Kingdom.

In their external expansion, the Japanese always tried to occupy Korea first, and then use Korea as a springboard to attack China.

Thinking about his plan to fight in the south and the north, Lu Yan could already foresee that the silver of the white flowers would definitely flow out of his hands constantly, and it seemed that the attack on the Wa Kingdom must be advanced.

Next, Lu Yan discussed some things with them, and the generals deployed on Phi Island were finally appointed by Xiang Yu and Li Jing, after all, they were very familiar with the situation there.

In addition, it was to attack Nanyang, and Lu Yan decided to appoint Chen Qingzhi as the generalissimo of the expedition to Nanyang, and Wu Weizhong as the deputy marshal to lead the army to conquer the Nanyang.

In addition to capturing Manila, their mission was to prepare shelters, farmland, and other things for future immigrants.

Three months after their departure, Lü Yan would again send a fleet to lead a large number of outcasts and criminals to Luzon in order to completely occupy the land there. (To be continued)
