As soon as the two sides met, Yang Chendong pointed to the Luzon island area on the sand table and asked Kaohsiung, "how's it going? Do you have the confidence to eat it here?"
Looking at Kaohsiung on the sand table, a startled look flashed in his eyes: "Luzon Island?"
"Yes, it's Luzon Island." Yang Chendong nodded.
Kaohsiung, who didn't answer immediately but first thought in his mind for a moment, replied: "sixth young master, our people have boarded the island more than once. They are very clear about some situations inside. Their defense strength is very poor, and there is no problem taking them. But there are mostly Han people there, and they are very close to Daming. If they move them, I'm afraid..."
Kaohsiung didn't continue to say the following words, but the meaning has been very clear, that is, whether the move of Luzon Island will lead to the dissatisfaction of the northern and Southern Ming Dynasties. Now the supply and demand of Shicheng have to turn around through the land of the northern Ming Dynasty. Once the relationship is frozen, I'm afraid there is no good between us.
"It doesn't matter. We're not strong enough to launch an attack in the South and North Ming Dynasty, but some external forces can still be swept away. Besides, this time we don't need to use the banner of mercenaries. You know that your third division captured 20 Spanish ships before."
Yang Chendong just mentioned a little. Kaohsiung immediately understood the meaning of this. Then he said, "the sixth young master wants to arrange them to attack Luzon Island? Oh, my subordinates understand. Please rest assured that the sixth young master will go to prepare immediately and ensure that no one will know. That's what we mean."
"Hehe, good. Commander Gao, this time we packed up the Spanish ships. I believe they will send someone soon. In addition, Portuguese ships are still wandering in this area. No matter how good things are, we can't help so many people to share them. What's more, I never wanted to share them with them. Even if conditions permit, we will play again one day Go and occupy more places, so there is no time for the construction of the Navy. Just one army is not enough. "
"The sixth young master means to form an army in Kaohsiung?" Kaohsiung was so clever that he immediately thought of the implied meaning of these words.
"Yes. Another army will be formed next, but more will be formed in the future. In the future, several armies will be combined to form a corps. There is a heavy task and a long way to go. You should also be prepared to carry the heavy burden. After winning Luzon island this time, you will set up a naval command department, and then you will be the first deputy commander." Yang Chendong patted Kaohsiung on the shoulder. He was steady, had a strong view of the overall situation, and had good command ability. He was a man who could bear heavy burdens.
Hearing this grand plan, Kaohsiung just felt a burst of blood boiling. Then he stood at attention and said: "Don't worry, sixth young master. I'll go back and prepare right away. At the same time, we'll select naval soldiers in the chixian city. In fact, what we've been doing is just because the source of troops we need is limited and there's no big publicity, but it's not a problem to form an army in a short time."
"Very good. At least the candidate for the commander of the second army, please report it in the name of the naval command and let me have a look." According to Yang Chendong, the task of establishing the second maritime army has been put on the agenda. In Yang Chendong's view, if you want to expand your strength, it is not enough just on land. In addition, the Oriental world has been exposed, you will face all kinds of emergencies and even provocations at any time, and the expansion of the navy is also necessary.
Kaohsiung left. Just ten days later, ten warships with the red, yellow and red three parallel rectangles set sail on the sea and headed straight for Luzon Island. It seems that this is just a simple voyage, but no one knows that all the officers and soldiers of the first marine division curled up on these ten ships, giving people a very crowded feeling.
This time, the first division of the sea received the mission, which is what Kaohsiung meant. That is, the navy is going to set up the second army. Who does this commander belong to? As the commander of the first army and the first deputy commander of the Navy headquarters, he certainly has to express his opinions. Yue Guang, the commander of the first division, was the first person to follow him and the first batch of people to follow the sixth young master. He has great ability With enough qualifications, he made this man a candidate for the commander of the second army. This time, he captured Luzon island to give him a chance to show his face in front of the sixth young master.
Yue Guang naturally firmly grasped the performance opportunity given by the military commander. After receiving the order, he conducted repeated research on Luzon island with the four heads of the first marine division and staff officers, and worked out what they thought was the most perfect battle plan.
When ten ships with Spanish flags arrived at the northernmost pier of Luzon island for trade, the current four regiments were responsible for controlling here. The first, second and third regiments launched lightning raids in three different directions, left, middle and right, and soon controlled most of the areas around the Cagar river.
The Luzon regime, which had only 50000 soldiers and was still distributed for defense, fell only five days later. The fallen Governor Chen Rong was captured alive, and the whole Luzon island became a new occupation for mercenaries.
Just the day after Luzon changed its flag, a large number of seagoing ships with five-star flags suddenly appeared. They surrounded the ten seagoing ships with Spanish flags and had a "fierce battle" After that, it was destroyed. The main general Miguel and deputy general Cruz were captured and then openly taken away. When this scene happened, it was witnessed by many businessmen at the northern wharf of Luzon Island. So far, the plan was successfully completed.
Yang Chendong used two secretly captured enemy generals and ten warships to play and reasonably occupied Luzon Island. They defeated the Western powers and returned to Luzon island for security. The news came out that even the northern and Southern Ming Dynasties knew about it, they could not say anything. It's better to explain that mercenaries didn't leave, but sent troops here. After all, it has become the target of forces of other countries. They stayed just to better protect it.
After Luzon island became a new force of Yang Chendong, according to his requirements, he expanded the northern wharf and renamed it Luzon port. At the same time, a new city, song city, was built in the island. Li Sheng, recommended by Yu Qian, the red inlaid City Lord's house, was the first City Lord.
At that time, the population of Luzon island was not very large, only more than 1 million. In order to strengthen the construction here and prosper the economy here, Cambodia province transferred 2 million people. So far, Yang Chendong has fulfilled his commitment to governor sun Xiaoguang.
After Luzon island became a member of Yang Chendong's sphere of influence, they successfully controlled the South China Sea area of the Ming Dynasty. Relying on xiaoryukyu Island, Luzon Island and the wharf port of Vietnam Province, they formed a pocket on this sea area. Without their consent, ships of any power may face three major blows.
The task of capturing Luzon island was successfully completed. The time came to may in 1454. At this time, the second wife Qiao Yin was in labor for less than one month. Yang Chendong gave up all military affairs and returned to chixian city. He was relieved to accompany Qiao Yin waiting for the birth of his first child.
Yang Chendong calmed down, and all the provinces under his influence settled down. The continued development of this development should be stable and seize the time for stability. The naval command also passed the resolution on preparing for the establishment of the second maritime army, ordering Yue Guang to be the commander, under the jurisdiction of four, five and six naval divisions, with a total number of more than 26000 officers.
At the same time, it was also announced that from now on, the mercenary would be renamed the five-star army, and an edict was issued to the world.
It is absolutely a big thing that mercenaries become famous and become five-star armies. However, not many people are really concerned about this at the moment. Everything is that after Yang Chendong opened his knife to the Phnom Penh Dynasty, all forces also took the opportunity to seek fighters and seize their own benefits.
Shortly after learning of the news that mercenaries had launched an attack on the Phnom Penh Dynasty, Zhu Huiyun, king of minzhuang, called himself king of the Nanming Dynasty and issued an edict to the world. And soon sent troops to Xiping, Yunnan, where Wang mubin was located.
For Zhu Huixi, king of the Southern Ming Dynasty, his location is not satisfactory. There are the army of the northern Ming Dynasty in the north, the Mujia army of King Xiping in the west, and Vietnam Province, the territory of mercenaries in the south. Surrounded by all sides, there is not even a safe passage to go out. Once something happens, isn't it a little life-threatening?
In order to solve this problem, he must fight a bloody way. After thinking about it, he set his goal at the place of Yunnan where Xiping king was located.
This is also a helpless way. Relatively speaking, among the three forces surrounding themselves, King Xiping is easy to bully. In order to hit the target with one blow, Zhu Huixuan mobilized 100000 troops and dealt a heavy blow to mubin under the influence of Yunnan without saying hello.
Unfortunately, because the news came out in advance, it didn't have the purpose of killing at one blow. It was just a heavy blow to mubin. However, when the king of Nanming wanted to attack the whole Yunnan with one spirit, Nanming sent troops. For a time, the king of Nanming who had to fight on both sides soon changed from attack to defense, and the war was in a stalemate for a time.
At this time, Hong Jin, a general of the Vietnamese army under the influence of mercenaries, led his troops out of Liangshan and watched the three parties fight together.
The appearance of Hong Jin not only means that Yang Chendong behind him is paying attention to this matter, but also he has to do a very important thing, that is to receive the people injured in the war and after the war. As long as they are Han people, they will accept them and arrange their next life for them.
Compared with the Han people who spent tens of millions of liang of silver to buy Beiming last time, this time Yang Chendong no longer paid, but just picked up people.
Facts have proved that after occupying each land, a large number of Han people are needed to occupy it. Although there are more than three million Han people in Yang Chendong's hands after the last buying incident, this figure is obviously not enough compared with the expansion of his power.
