Chapter 65 Moxian County

Chen Mu didn't know how to reply Deng Zilong's words.

He laughed and said, "I don't mean that Chen. The Beiyang Banner Army trained Chen personally. I know the best of what kind of talents they have. These good men can fight against any army in the world in land war."

"Everyone knows that the Western country is strong and powerful. A few years ago, the soldiers of its country could take root in Luzon, which was 90,000 miles away, commanded almost all the princes except Europe, Britain and France, and could become the overlord."

"The court established the Eastern Military Palace and wanted to seize Asia; if it wanted to seize Asia, the Spanish blocking stone must be moved away. The Beiyang Banner Army was born, and the two capitals in the north and south were selected and recruited and trained by the good families in the Great Liao Dynasty. They were born to deal with the overlords."

"I say that Spain is good at land warfare and short of naval warfare. This does not mean that our land division is weaker than him, or that our navy is better than him. Our heavenly army is not divided into water and land, but that it is better than him. It is just that the land warfare suffers."

"Western ships are so huge that they cannons are rare, and they carry a lot of troops. A large warship is a small number of 25 soldiers. If the land battle Magui Ma Jin has not arrived and Shao Tingda has not returned, our army will need to use 5,000 troops to fight against the enemy 9,000 or even more."

"If it is a naval battle, one hundred household in our army can allow the five hundred-material warships loaded with eighteen artillery to exert their due combat power, defeat the few cannons with more cannons, and defeat the few cannons with more cannons."

After Chen Mu said that, he looked at Deng Zilong and said, "It is my general's responsibility to minimize the casualties and victory of soldiers. Winning is very important, and winning is even more important."

Deng Zilong wanted to say: I complained!

Deng Zilong also wanted to say: Whatever you say is what you want!

But Deng Zilong can only say: "Subordinates obey the order."

Spain or Habsburg were not just maritime overlords, but in fact they were the European overlords, and they were the only family that could unify Europe before Napoleon after Charles the Great.

The huge territory and sphere of influence bring possibilities to a powerful fleet, but its naval combat idea is an extension of land warfare. Western-style warships are not warships, but maritime fortresses. If it were not for the Three Kingdoms period, the tower ships would have overturned on the Yangtze River due to strong winds. Philip would definitely like the kind of warships that could carry thousands of troops.

Deng Zilong was ordered to leave. Tonight, all the warships entered the port except for the near-shore defense, and most of the flag troops could also rest on the shore.

The space on ships in this era was always small and terrifying. Except for the six hundred soldiers carrying only 200 soldiers and almost no capacity to handle the ships with the same tonnage, 60% of the seafarers on the remaining ships had no cabins.

Although there is a Chen Mu imitating a sleeper berth that can pull down a narrow bed, due to the length and shortness of the flag army, most people choose to sleep on the deck next to the cannon. They will only go to rest for a night if they have sore waist and back pain on the ground for two days.

To be fair, the treatment of the Ming army sailors is the best among the ships Chen Mu has ever seen. Like the warships of Spain and Portugal, Chen Mu will never understand where they will sleep if they look alone.

After all, less than 20% of a ship is calculated based on the treatment of people.

Navy Admiral Deng Zilong was about to calm down, and Yang Tingxiang and Zou Yuanbiao came together in the garrison. Yang Tingxiang was quite normal. He had a little pride and enough respect on his face and bowed to sign up at the door of the tent.

Zou Yuanbiao is also normal, but he always smiles like a fool like a person, but it is not very popular, although it can be seen that he is very happy.

This person is very strange, as if Chen Mu made him happy in everything he did.

"Master General Deng just left, saying that you are going to decide the victory or defeat with the Western Yi Sea?"

Chen Muna just nodded, and Yang Tingxiang continued, "Why not here, just decide the outcome in the two bays outside the port?"

There are two bays in Acapulco. The main bay in the north is large, and there is a bay about two miles away from the south, which is only one or two miles away. No matter whether the Western Army or the Ming fleet cannot be spread there, it goes without saying that what Yang Tingxiang said was that he would definitely fight the final battle in the main bay.

"Why?"

"The enemy will inevitably ride the wind when coming south, and the enemy ship's bow is low. Our troops will face the wind when they meet outside the bay. The slower ship speed is easy to be ridden by the enemy, and once it is connected, it will be difficult to win."

"It's different in the bay. The wind is small and the waves are weak, the western ship is huge and heavy, the ship is not as fast as mine, and the artillery is not as good as mine. If you can't catch up, you will have to be beaten."

Yang Tingxiang was confident and held a letter in his hand to restrain his sleeves and said, "There are troops in the small bay on the north side of the bay. There are many lucky ships in our army, and there are more craftsmen. In a few days, the military craftsmen can change 17 or 8 fire ships."

"Another navy is deployed on the north side of the bay. When the bay war begins, the bay will be blocked from the outer side and the enemy will be in a dilemma, the enemy will be in chaos."

Chen Mu was about to say that there were so many sailors in Spanish ships, and if they were crazy, they would not be stranded on the beach and attacked the land. Then he saw Yang Tingxiang worshipping the letter in his hand.

The young civil and military general said: "If the enemy is anxious to jump over the wall, our military weapon bureau craftsmen can make mines for the commander and lay them on the coast where it is easy to land. The thunder-mounted cylinder is sealed with a stone anchor and falls on the coast, and fired with flint, and connect the ropes to the hands of the soldiers on the shore."

"Whenever his ship lands, blow him up for a while, and then hand it over to General Lin to discipline him for no return."

Too ideal.

However, seeing Yang Tingxiang's confident appearance, Chen Mu still praised: "We can make the craftsmen of the Military Weapon Bureau prepare like this. If the enemy attacks the port, they will do this. However, there will always be accidents in wars, and the plan may not be able to catch up with the ever-changing situation."

After saying that, he asked Zou Yuanbiao who was following behind, "Has Anmin's notice been written?"

"Go back to the commander, you can get it right away, just choose the flag army to read it next to the notice." As Zou Yuanbiao said, he raised his hand and said, "From tomorrow, he will be in charge of the subordinates and the people will be assigned to the people, and the land will be cleared. Each family will divide the land from 50 to 200 mu according to Dingkou, with 30 taxes. The remaining twenty-nine land owners and the government will each have half of the rent and taxes, and only one tax will be paid in three years."

"I know that the court may not be able to go to Changzhi here, but Asia will always be governed by the court. It is not a bad thing to first clear the land and cemetery. In addition, students also want to imitate their ancestors here, compile taxes, service yellow books, and conduct a Lijia."

It's true that Chen Mu felt that Zou Yuanbiao had a sense of belief in his heart. He never thought about whether the expedition to Asia would fail, nor even whether the Ming army would retreat here. He couldn't wait to try his skills here.

Immediately afterwards, Zou Yuanbiao also took out a letter and said, "Students set eight things, compile household registration, divide the fields, build ancestral temples, build city gods, set up social schools, open ditches, and build agricultural machinery."

Chen Mu wrote a letter, raised his eyebrows and looked up at Zou Yuanbiao and said, "What, are you planning to be the magistrate of Axian here?"

"No, can't it be?"

Zou Yuanbiao's smile was stopped by Chen Mu's words. The things he did were indeed not what Chen Mu asked him to do. He was very subjective and active, so he was so happy to do things.

Hearing Chen Mu's words, he paused, and suddenly his eyes turned: "Master, the student wants to be... the magistrate of Mo County!"
