Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

The most urgent task at the moment is to let the governor know the situation of the coastal defense position so that the governor can make a correct response.

The location of Sanchez’s headquarters was really well chosen. It was located on a hillside, not too far from the coastal defense position. It was less than twenty miles away, and Acuña could come back to deliver orders on horseback. , but there is no need to worry about being shot at the headquarters by the artillery of the Ming army.

However, the long distance brought a great inconvenience, that is, the telescope was not clear enough to observe the forward position, and it always required Acuna to run back and forth.

After Acuña ran back to Sanchez's command post again, before he had time to take a sip of water, he saluted directly: "Your Excellency, the coastal defense artillery position has been declared lost, and almost all of them were killed. worth it!"

Sanchez nodded and said: "Got it.",

It's not like Sanchez didn't know everything on the coastal defense position just now. Although it looked a little blurry through the telescope, the vibration transmitted from a distance of more than 20 miles could not be faked, not to mention the huge explosion.

It's a pity that the coastal defense positions I carefully arranged were declared scrapped before they could play their original role.

These Ming soldiers are really rich. Although this method of smashing a road with shells is a waste of money, the effect is real.

If the Spanish government also has so much silver and so many shells to squander, can the Dutch still make waves?

But if there is no if, in fact, the Spanish government really doesn't have so much money and shells for the army to squander.

In fact, eight years before Chongzhen, Ming did not have so much silver for the army to squander, and even the equipment of the Ming army was not as good as that of the Spanish army.

But just like the words that Emperor Chongzhen heard in later generations, all problems that can be solved with money are not called problems.

As a large number of corrupt officials were raised as pigs, their homes were ransacked, and a large amount of commercial taxes were added to the national treasury under the threat of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and because the drug business took off, money was no longer a problem.

When there is no money, those who should pretend to be grandsons have to pretend to be grandsons, and when they should be sincere, they have to be cowardly, but when they have money, they can naturally be self-willed.

Now Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming treasury are very rich, so they can naturally be willful if they are rich.

Seeing that Sanchez hadn't said anything for a long time, Acuña tentatively asked, "Your Excellency the Governor?"

Sanchez, who just came back to his senses, smiled lightly and said: "I'm fine, I'll send an order, the first line of defense will retreat five miles, make room for them, and let the barbarian troops from the Ming Dynasty land.

The second line of defense at the back stretches forward, as close as possible to the first line of defense.The third line of defense extended five miles behind the second line of defense. "

Seeing Acuña's curious look, Sanchez explained: "Through the shelling of the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty just now, I found that the maximum range of their cannons is about ten miles.

After the first line of defense retreated five miles, the artillery on their battleships could no longer provide artillery support to the infantry they landed. At best, they allowed their infantry to build up positions by the sea.

As for the extension of the second line of defense, it is to prevent these barbarians from overcoming the first line of defense by relying on the advantage of their numbers. "

Acuña said: "Then the third line of defense is five miles behind the second line of defense, is it the worst plan?"

Nodding his head, Sanchez said: "That's right, if the first and second lines of defense collapse, we can rely on the third line of defense for a while longer and build a new line of defense. Once the third line of defense leaves If the second line of defense is too close, those barbarians may break through continuously, and our rear will become a naked beauty."

On Zheng Zhilong's flagship, Zhao Qing felt that his heart was bleeding - so many shells were fired, but they were all worthless money!This should have belonged to the emperor, but after such a short period of effort, it was all gone!

But I have to admit that what Zheng Zhilong did was right.

Just when the Franco manned coastal defense artillery was killed just now, Zhao Qing already understood that Zheng Zhilong's approach was correct.

If these coastal defense guns are not cleared first, once the warship approaches the sea and then ascends the throne, not only the landing soldiers will be in danger, but even the warship will be in danger.

In this way, a lot of money was saved, but how to explain to the emperor after going back has really become a big problem.

What's more, after being in the army for a long time, Zhao Qing also understands that it is far from easy to train a qualified navy soldier as a guard soldier, and there are simply too many sayings in it!

The simplest one, guard soldiers don't care if they can swim or not, it's bullshit for navy soldiers if they can't swim!

This alone has to wipe out a large number of people, and then they have to complete training in various subjects before they can become a qualified naval soldier.

It takes too much time and money in the middle, and it is understandable why the emperor values ​​the lives of these Qiu Ba so much and doesn't care about money.

Of course Zheng Zhilong didn't know that Zhao Qing had thought of such messy things in such a short period of time, but instead ordered to the soldiers: "Command, Fuyuan, Weiyuan, Weiyang, Wuwei, Zhenwei Out of port, three rounds of shelling cover! Send an order to those guys in the guard, tell them to prepare to land!"

After receiving the order from Zheng Zhilong's personal soldiers, Shen Zhenjiang smiled and rubbed his hands together and said, "Brothers, get ready, it's time for a big deal!"

Chapter 533 Their shells are running out, right?

Compared with the well-established military occupations of later generations, the military division of Ming Dynasty is very rough.

For example, the navy of later generations has a very detailed division of the first-line combat troops. There are those responsible for doing things on board, and there are also marines responsible for landing on the beach.

Daming didn't say that. Those killers who played with guns on the boat didn't mind participating in beach landings, hacking people with knives at all.

Anyway, killing people on a boat is basically the same thing as killing people on land, as long as you kill people.

But now it is much stronger than before. At least the guards sent by Nanzhili are good at swimming, and they have been trained to cut people with knives.

This time, the Southern Imperial Forest Army acted as the vanguard to set up a position on the beach. Under the cover of artillery fire from the South China Sea Fleet, a position was first established, and then the other soldiers of the guards landed.

The Southern Imperial Forest Army acted as the vanguard, and Chen Biao, the vanguard of the Southern Imperial Forest Army, yelled loudly after receiving the order: "Quick! Quick! Quick! Show your vigor on girls!"

Amidst the loud laughter, the soldiers of the Southern Imperial Forest Army were all gearing up and ready to teach Franz Barbarian on the shore a lesson.

The soldiers rushed out of the cabin one by one, but Chen Biao unexpectedly found that one soldier was still in a daze.

Are you in a daze at this moment?Furious, Chen Biao rushed to the soldier and kicked him: "Er Gouzi! What the hell are you thinking!"

Er Gouzi is very famous in the entire Southern Yulin Army. From top to bottom, there are basically few people who don't know him, not only because of the name Er Gou.

In fact, Wang Ergou was very dissatisfied with his name, and he and his elder brother named Wang Dagou argued several times about changing their name, but the father and mother ignored the strong request of the two brothers to change their name based on the principle of being cheap and easy to support. The guard's roster is filled with Wang Ergou.

There is some reason why a humble name is easy to support, at least it has been perfectly embodied in Wang Ergou - can eat and drink, is tall and strong, and rarely suffers from illness.

After beating a few idiots who laughed at his name to no avail, Wang Ergou had no choice but to accept such an intimate title as Ergouzi.

Wang Ergou can eat, not only can eat, but also can endure hardship.But no matter how good Wang Ergou could eat, he couldn't eat poorly. The already rich Ming army, coupled with the ability to fight and endure hardships, quickly stood out from the army with the most powerful fists.

Shen Zhenjiang was very optimistic about Er Gouzi, and specially took him from the Jubao Mountain Guard to the Southern Yulin Army, allowing him to undergo training that was several times more intense than the Jubao Mountain Guard's training.

Wang Ergou was indeed up to the task, and Shen Zhenjiang's value was not in vain. The high-intensity training did not crush this edible man, but became better and better in the army.

If it wasn't for Wang Ergou who didn't even know the word for an upside-down shoulder pole, Shen Zhenjiang would like to promote Ergou again and let him enter the martial arts school to learn to be a qualified officer.

Wang Ergou, who has never lost the chain in training, has finally lost the chain. The gentleman in the army has only a simple six words for Wang Ergou's evaluation - rotten wood can not be carved!

Wang Ergou, who has studied in the Southern Yulin Army for a full year and a half, has only learned to write his own name like an earthworm.

In desperation, Shen Zhenjiang, who had no choice but to give up, had no choice but to arrange Wang Ergou into the elite forward army, and the possibility of going further was gone, even if he made military exploits.

According to the current requirements of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, one must be able to read and write from a small banner, and at the post of a hundred households, at least be able to read and understand military Chinese books, and even be able to write simple official documents.

Wang Ergou, who can't even write his own name well, can only be a leading soldier honestly in this life, and has no hope of getting ahead.

But Wang Ergou is already very satisfied. In the past, he was able to live every day in good times and bad times. The family couldn't even make up a set of clothes without patches, and the farm work in the field was done in two.

During the day, Er Gouzi wore the tattered clothes that had been changed and patched at home to work, and at night, Er Gouzi's father went to work in the field with bare buttocks.
