Chapter 180 is weak
The soldiers of the Second Battalion of Fusang and Baishan did not waste any time on boarding the ship. The night before the fleet bypassed South Asia and arrived at the Shelter Bay, the entire Fusang battalion had squeezed half an hour, and they pinched the steamed rice mixed with large and small rice into rice balls, packed up all the supplies and boarded their warships.
They boarded the ship not to set sail, but to avoid moisture from the ground.
Li Dan and Chen Jiujing were not in a hurry to get on the boat. They used Li Dan's military tent to set up a command room on the beach. After obtaining the Qilin Guard Navy's near-shore information, they summarized the island information submitted by the Mexican Spaniards, and convened the second battalion generals to discuss matters.
The main summons four people.
Qi Zhengyan, deputy general of Fusang Camp, guerrilla Ma Liangbi; Naracongulu, deputy general of Baishan Camp, guerrilla Huang Jin.
All four of them have prominent backgrounds and are now in power.
The guerrilla Ma Liangbi of Fusang Camp was the son of Ma Shunde, an important official of the Ryukyu Kingdom. He once participated in the training of the Ryukyu Guards in the Nanyang Military Palace. Whether it was Chen Mu or Gao Gong later, he was very concerned about the most loyal vassals of the Ming Dynasty. The Nanyang Military Palace only had no cost of training troops in Ryukyu. Now he led his troops to fight. All the 1,000 infantry soldiers under his command were military-armed, equipped with fuse ropes, bird guns, chain mails, Qi's swords and skilled in the Mandarin duck formation.
Narakangguru, deputy general of Baishan Camp, was the son of Wangtai, the leader of the Hada tribe of Haixi. Hada was one of the four tribes of Haixi. He reached its peak during the Wangtai era and relied on the court to command Haixi. However, now Wangtai is incompetent and has caused the tribe to weaken. Many of his tribes have defected to the Yehe tribe. The sons also fought openly and secretly for the succession to the throne after Wangtai passed away. At this time, Kangguru was called by the court and led the elite tribe to join the journey of the Eastern Military Palace.
Huang Jin, a guerrilla in Baishanying, was a young man. His fifth generation was the prime minister of North Korea, Huang Xi, and his family was mostly Westerners. He was born in the humanities but was familiar with military affairs. He was dissatisfied with the party struggles and felt that his career was difficult to advance. He responded to the emperor's call to recruit family soldiers to board the Ming Dynasty. Among the many generals, he was elected by the Korean military and became an intermediate general.
As for Qi Zhengyan, it goes without saying that he is the most prominent family soldier of Chen Mu, an important official in Beiyang. He is also fighting for military achievements in pacifying all the princes and supporting Yi Zhao. Who can afford to do this?
Some people really can afford to offend him. His immediate boss is Chen Mu's godson Li Dan, otherwise why would he be the deputy general?
Putting his heart in mind, Qi Zhengyan's experience was actually quite annoying. He was captured by the Japanese pirates. He finally got familiar with the situation, but was caught by the Ming army. He was familiar with the situation under Chen Mu and went to Japan again. He thought about his career in Japan, but he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would come immediately.
Thanks to the feudal relationship between the generals of the Second Battalion itself and the soldiers, Li Dan and Chen Jiujing plus these four people and two thousand generals under each command, these eighteen people formed the command center of the Caribbean escort fleet with a total force of more than 6,000.
The map of the Caribbean West Indies was spread on the table from the unwilling Spanish. The yellowed scroll and the long-standing ink marks both show the age of this map. Chen Jiujing marked the names on the map one by one with Chinese transliteration, pointed to the chart and frowned: "Will the Westerners use this thing to fool their adoptive father? This picture looks older than me!"
"It's hard for the Westerners to come up with this chart for us." Li Dan chuckled: "They shot themselves in the foot. It's a big trend for the heavenly army to sweep the eastwards of Yazhou. They also want to drive us to suppress bandits for them and be arrogant."
The second part of the treaty being signed was that the Ming Dynasty entered the Caribbean Sea as a Spanish Allied Force, and sailed west to transport goods between the West Indies. This was originally a strategy to consume the Ming army. After hearing that the Ming Dynasty increased its troops to the New World, the Duke of Alva did not intend to mention this matter again.
But Chen Mu still remembers it.
Negotiation is negotiation. Nowadays, who has the greater gun caliber and the greater the bargaining chips, and who has the final say.
For Chen Mu, sending a fleet into the Caribbean was exactly what he wanted. The Eastern Military Palace lacked everything, but at this moment there was no shortage of troops, and he easily created a fleet.
More importantly, this is an excellent excuse to implement intelligence sharing in the West Indies, which originally only included the New World intelligence sharing in the treaty.
But now I send a fleet into the Caribbean. I don’t ask you for money or food. I will help you fight the enemy after all. You have to give me information, right?
Several generals of the vassal states had their own expressions, but they didn't speak. Only Qi Zhengyan and Li Dan and Chen Jiujing were familiar with each other and were much more courageous. They clenched their fists and said, "Don't worry about whether they are respectful or not, my people do need to fight a few battles. If they let them chew sand, they should go crazy. General, please send a message to Shao Shuai first."
"Shishou?" Shao Tingda had already gone to Chile. Li Dan turned his head in surprise: "What letter is sent?"
"It is inevitable that my people will be killed or injured in the war. I am all in Shao Shuai's place. Please send some people here and wait until we wipe out the pirates, and we can come back to add one or two hundred people."
One or two hundred people?
Li Dan felt that Qi Zhengyan's judgment of the situation was a bit optimistic and reminded him: "They fought differently from Japan. They had heavy artillery on their ships. This battle was not that simple. Don't think too easily. How did the Kitsugawa Tianjun gunboat clean up the Anzhai ship."
“They are hard to deal with.”
Chen Jiujing heard this and raised his hand and stopped. When he saw Li Dan looking over, he pursed his lips and said embarrassedly: "Brother's words are a bit familiar. I remember the last time he said 'They are hard to deal with' or Oda Nobunaga?"
As he said that, Chen Jiujing laughed: "Then he stayed in Honeng Temple."
This is not true for Li Dan to laugh, nor is it true if he doesn't laugh.
Chen Jiujing calmly relieved his brother's embarrassment and said, "The pirates who are active in this area are indeed very powerful. As long as the English navy and the French navy are involved in the Netherlands, Portugal, England, France, and Spain's merchants and pirates, their goals are the same, and they mainly rob the Western royal family of the royal family of the king."
Qi Zhengyan, who was just about to raise his hand to ask, was interrupted by Chen Jiujing's words. He knew what Qi Zhengyan wanted to ask and said, "Yes, Spain robbed Spain, and they sometimes do business and sometimes do thieves, which is difficult to distinguish, so..."
Li Dan took the call, pressed his hand on the chart, and said, "This sea area will be taken over by us. We will search every port on land and every ship at sea. Whoever refuses it will be a pirate."
Several campers looked at each other, and to be honest, they heard the sound of coins jingling from this sentence.
Qi Zhengyan smacked his lips and clapped his hands and said, "What kind of Western treasure ship can be checked?"
Li Danxian raised his index finger and said, "It's not a Western country. My adoptive father said to me, "The single word is strong, for example!" Three words, such as Spain, Portugal, France, England, the Netherlands... In short, all of these are weak."
