Chapter 69: Zhu Youlang's Strategy Pursuit!)

Experts will know if there is any one.

After carefully observing the front-mounted smoothbore cannon and flintlock rifle and asking Zhu Youlang for some details, Francisco gave a positive answer.

He can imitate these guns and cannons.

As for lead bullets, it is not a problem, it just takes some time to manufacture them.

However, the structure of the Deresert gun is somewhat beyond Francisco's imagination. He feels that it should be difficult to make similar imitations in a short period of time.

However, this was far beyond Zhu Youlang's expectations.

It is enough to have a flintlock rifle and a front-mounted smoothbore cannon. With these sharp weapons to help, the Ming army is like a tiger, and the possibility of a comprehensive counterattack on the Qing army is greatly increased.

But Francisco had just ignited Zhu Youlang's enthusiasm and immediately poured a basin of cold water.

That means it takes a long time to make a gun.

With his personal ability, the time for making a flintlock rifle is two months, and if you are proficient, it can be shortened to one and a half months. There are a total of 100 Flang machine craftsmen in Chongqing.

Even if you build flintlock rifles day by day, you can build a thousand shots in a year.

Unless we look for more craftsmen, it would be too difficult to achieve assembly in the Ming army by relying solely on this speed.

As for artillery demand is not that large, it is not a big problem.

It seems that the flintlock rifles that were rushed to be equipped with the elite can only be temporarily installed, and it will take enough time to reversely clear the occupied area.

However, this is a good start, and you can only take one step at a time if you develop next.

However, after Francisco left, Zhu Youlang summoned Wen Anzhi and Li Dingguo and asked them about their opinions on how the Ming army should act next.

As the supervisor who lived in eastern Sichuan for a long time, Wen Anzhi believed that he should use this hard-earned victory to actively develop agricultural, economy, and train the army to narrow the gap with the Qing army as much as possible. Instead of rushing and using troops in large quantities.

Li Dingguo and Wen Anzhi have similar views, but he feels that when seeking stability in the internal environment, some local expansion can be carried out tentatively.

A simple defensive posture can easily cause soldiers to feel lazy and tired of fighting, which will be very unfavorable in the long run.

Furthermore, the Ming army also needed to always show a tough attitude towards the Qing army, making the Qing army afraid of the Ming army's actions.

As long as this fear of the Ming army exists in the Qing army formation, no matter who the Qing army generals are replaced, they will not gain an advantage in fighting against the Ming army.

"If you want to raise more soldiers, isn't it enough to rely solely on Yunchuan?"

Zhu Youlang is an absolute layman on military issues, but he knows one thing very well that it is the limit to feeding more than 100,000 troops with the current territory of the Ming Dynasty. Even if more troops are recruited, it is no longer enough to use the existing carrying capacity.

Since Wen Anzhi and Li Dingguo agreed that it is not appropriate to use large-scale counterattacks now, can we take our vision to explore?

"Your Majesty said very much."

Li Dingguo agreed in a deep voice.

"Maybe you can try to enter Myanmar?"

Of course, Zhu Youlang did not make a decision after a fever.

In his impression, Myanmar has always been a granary in Southeast Asia. Although its territory is small, it can support many people.

Historically, Myanmar has always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The Myanmar Xuanwei Department was one of the six Xuanwei Departments established by the Ming Dynasty in the southwest.

Its jurisdiction is the Ava dynasty in history.

Later, in the fifth year of Jiajing, the three families divided Myanmar and gradually established the unified Dongyu Dynasty.

The Dongxu Dynasty no longer recognized the identity of the Ming Dynasty as the culprit, but chose to be on par with the Ming Dynasty, which directly led to the Ming Dynasty's war in the Wanli period.

At one point, the Ming army captured the enemy's capital, but in the end they were confused and forced to withdraw their troops and lose a large amount of territory.

Of course, Wen Anzhi also knew this history, which was a pain in the Wanli Dynasty that he did not want to be mentioned.

People only know the three major battles of Wanli, but in fact, this seemingly inconspicuous Ming-Myanmar War had an extremely profound impact on the future situation of the Ming Dynasty.

"Does Your Majesty think Dongxu is not obedient enough to the Ming Dynasty?"

He thought Zhu Youlang was very proud of his face, so he made this proposal.

Zhu Youlang shook his head and said, "It's this time, how could I care about these empty things? I heard that Myanmar has premature rice ripening due to climate. If this area can be controlled, it may be able to support more troops."

Myanmar's territory is not large or small, and it is still no problem to use it to support more than 100,000 troops.

In addition, it produces a lot of rubber and other products, the future development of industry will also save the pain of finding raw materials.

It can be said that controlling Myanmar is a good strategy to win multiple goals in one go.

As for the face issue that Wen Anzhi mentioned, Zhu Youlang really never thought about it.

It’s time to be so worried about face, it’s just a shame for me.

"Your Majesty is right, but now the whole country in Myanmar looks like he is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. If we use troops to him, will we force them to the Donglu?"

Li Dingguo's considerations are not without reason.

With the current strength of the Ming army, it is impossible to withstand the two-line combat.

If the Ming army decides to attack Myanmar, it must ensure that the rear is not attacked by the Qing army.

"It doesn't matter. Myanmar's problem must be solved. Otherwise, it will be a disaster after all. As for the Donglu... I have heard of something called a sacking from Taisi, which may effectively prevent their harassment."

Zhu Youlang’s knowledge of the brink of the brink comes from the introductions of books and museums.

This mainstream fortification that was extremely effective in Europe for a long time is famous all over the world.

Of course, Wen Anzhi and Li Dingguo must have never heard of it.

"Your Majesty, what's special about this bastion?"

Li Dingguo was obviously very interested in the bastion.

"The siege is actually a special fortress. Compared with the convex polygons we commonly use, it is concave. It is this change that makes the siege party face two to three attacks, no matter where the siege party attacks the siege party attacks. The defending party can carry out cross-fire, while the siege party can only get beaten..."

Zhu Youlang's words rose up and simply used paper and pen to draw.

"The part between the bastions is the central embankment, which is what we call the city wall. A concave fortress is usually built in front of it for cover... This is a trench, which is usually dry, and when the enemy attacks, it is waterproof and blocks..."

...

ps: This book has been going well, and I believe everyone has seen it. I even cut the recommendation last week, and Lao Kun really collapsed at that time. Just finished the new book?

Later, history was replaced with a new editor. Lao Kun chatted with the new editor for a long time. The editor thought that this book could be saved, after all, the number of words was small and I could read it again.

Lao Kun then decided to continue writing.

Follow, follow, follow...Recommended votes, recommended votes, recommended votes...

This is too critical for Lao Kun.

If you have a five or six hundred reading, you should be able to survive until Sanjiang?

Lao Kun has to survive for Sanjiang no matter what. 300,000 words are not enough, only 400,000 words. After all, Sanjiang's forced recommendation can ensure that the book is not too pounced, and Lao Kun really can't afford it.

I deeply ask for a wave of recommendation votes, and I deeply hope that everyone can follow it. Lao Kun will update two times a day as much as possible, and we can't get it too fast for Sanjiang. After all, we have to endure it. One book is one book... I have to endure it until I have the chance to go to Sanjiang.

Every vote and every chapter you read is the motivation for Lao Kun to continue writing.

There are too many friends in Qidian now, so it is really difficult to write a book. However, Lao Kun has not given up, and I hope everyone will not give up.

Just say so much, get out of the way.
Chapter completed!
