Zhu Hongyu summoned the generals of the Liberation Army for a meeting.
He was sitting at the top, dressed in regular clothes, holding a white porcelain tea cup in his hand, with a leisurely expression.
On the table in front of him is a topographic map of the Leizhou Peninsula.
And the decorations needed for war games!
People gradually gathered, and the laziness and leisurely look on Zhu Hongyu's face gradually disappeared.
He became the wise, decisive, wise and mighty supervisor of the Ming Dynasty again!
After everyone arrived, Zhu Hongyu stood up from his seat, picked up a small wooden stick and pointed at the location of the Qiongzhou Strait, and then asked a question.
"The narrowest point of the Qiongzhou Strait is less than 40 miles. To put it bluntly, Qingluo could swim across it in a sampan!"
"The existence of the Leizhou Peninsula poses a huge threat to Qiongzhou! It has greatly affected the development and stability of Qiongzhou."
"How can I still let it go?"
The generals of the Liberation Army stood up one after another, and then said in unison.
"Please give your orders, His Highness the Supervisor!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.
"Since the Leizhou Peninsula poses a threat to our Liberation Army, then take the Leizhou Peninsula!"
"Instruct the General Staff to immediately come up with a battle plan to capture the Leizhou Peninsula!"
"The Logistics Department immediately prepares the materials needed for the army to go on an expedition!"
"All soldiers in the recruit camp who have completed recruit training are mobilized!"
"Ready to fight!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and then went to prepare themselves.
The reason why Zhu Hongyu wanted to mobilize new soldiers to fight instead of continuing to use veterans was to let the veterans finish the Leizhou Peninsula and then return to Luzon for repairs.
One is because the main force of the Liberation Army has been fighting hard for more than half a year, either in battle or on the way to fight.
The whole army is very tired and in urgent need of repairs!
The second reason is that Zhu Hongyu wanted to use the war in Leizhou Peninsula as a training ground for the recruits recruited by the Liberation Army in Qiongzhou to see blood.
The Qing government's military strength in Leizhou Peninsula was not strong, not much greater than the Qing government's military strength in Qiongzhou.
Just in time for the Liberation Army to use it for training!
However, it is easy to capture Leizhou, but not so easy to hold it.
It is true that the Qing court did not have many troops in Leizhou, but in Guangdong and Guangxi, which are adjacent to the Leizhou Peninsula, the Qing court stationed heavy troops.
Once the Qing government sent heavy troops to suppress it from Guangdong and Guangxi, the small arms and legs of the Liberation Army would not be able to bear it!
Therefore, the Leizhou Peninsula can be conquered, but how to defend it after it is conquered requires careful planning.
…
After the military meeting ended, Zhu Hongyu had just laid down to rest, when someone came to see him from outside.
Zhu Hongyu comforted Wenwen, who was slouching, covered her with a quilt, then put on her clothes and stood up.
When he walked outside, his secretary was already waiting outside the door.
"What happened?"
Zhu Hongyu asked.
The secretary handed a military report to Zhu Hongyu and then said.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, King Li Dingguo of the Jin Dynasty led his troops out of Mengla, followed the Yinlowaddy River southward, and entered Myanmar!"
"Within half a month, they broke through seven formations of the Burmese army and beheaded 10,000 people. Burma was shocked!"
"This is a detailed battle report!"
Zhu Hongyu looked at the battle report in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and then said.
"I understand, go down and rest!"
The secretary excused himself and turned to leave.
Zhu Hongyu returned to his bedroom with the battle report.
But he did not rest immediately. Instead, he ordered the maid to light the candles in the room, and then sat behind the desk.
I looked through the battle report carefully!
At this time, the Qing government stationed heavy troops in Yunnan, and Li Dingguo's troops were unable to counterattack Yunnan, so they chose to attack Burma.
Judging from the battle reports, the early battles under Li Dingguo's troops went smoothly.
In a large-scale frontal battlefield battle, the Myanmar army performed no better than garbage!
In half a month, they were defeated seven times in a row and ten thousand people were wiped out.
Myanmar's main force was severely damaged!
If such casualties were placed on the Qing Dynasty, as long as those who were annihilated were not the Eight Banners soldiers, it would be insignificant.
But if it were applied to Myanmar, the tens of thousands of casualties would be painful to the bone!
However, although the Ming army achieved a crushing victory on the frontal battlefield, what happened next was the real test.
When the Burmese people start not to confront the Ming army head-on, but start to fight guerrillas in the woods, the Ming army will be in trouble!
Terrain, disease, climate!
These three points are the three layers of weak buffs applied to the Ming army!
Things are getting difficult!
Zhu Hongyu took up his pen and began to study the tactics adopted by Li Dingguo on the map, reviewing every battle fought by Li Dingguo.
I have to admit that Li Dingguo's battle was indeed beautiful!
Go south along the waterway, attack the important cities in Burma, encircle the points for reinforcements, and force the Burmese army to engage in field battles with the Ming army.
Then use our own advantages in training and ordnance to inflict heavy losses on the Burmese army!
No matter the strategy or tactics, there are no flaws at all!
But once the war progresses to the level of hide-and-seek in the mountains, strategies and tactics are useless.
After much deliberation, the only reinforcement Zhu Hongyu could give them was to send more medicinal materials to prevent the spread of the disease.
After casually issuing an order requiring Qiongzhou and Luzon to assemble a batch of medicinal materials, Zhu Hongyu suddenly thought of something.
I almost forgot that he has a tropical mountain forest combat force specially recruited from Luzon's indigenous people!
During the Northern Expedition of the Liberation Army, this force went deep into the dense forests and mountains of Luzon and wiped out a large number of cannibals and indigenous people who were hostile to the Liberation Army.
He made outstanding contributions to the development of Luzon Island in the Ming Dynasty!
Now that a large-scale war has broken out in Myanmar, the Ming army wants to wipe out the indigenous people in Myanmar. If this tropical forest combat unit is put into the battlefield, it will definitely play a huge role.
However, after much deliberation, Zhu Hongyu still did not make up his mind to send troops into Myanmar.
On the one hand, his sphere of influence now has no border with Myanmar!
Or take the sea route and cross Malacca to land in Myanmar!
Or you have to go through Annam, Siam and other countries.
Malacca is now under the control of the Dutch. The Dutch will not allow the Ming Dynasty's fleet to pass Malacca, and the Ming Dynasty will not trust its retreat to the Dutch.
If the Ming fleet wants to pass Malacca, it will inevitably have to fight with the Dutch!
A winner!
And if we go by land, Annan, Siam and other countries will definitely not allow the Ming Dynasty to pass through their territory!
It’s all trouble!
The night was already deep, Zhu Hongyu yawned, went back to bed, lay down, and gradually fell asleep.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Hongyu took Wenwen to do some morning aerobics, and then got up refreshed to have breakfast.
He issued an order to increase the medical aid to Li Dingguo's troops, and then convened a meeting of the generals to prepare for the attack on the Leizhou Peninsula.
In the end, Zhu Hongyu gave up the idea of sending troops to Myanmar to help the war!
With this skill, he might as well let the tropical forest combat force clean up Luzon Island again.
Expand the Ming Dynasty’s reclamation area on Luzon Island!
At least the benefits of cleaning up Luzon Island are tangible!
It is true that Zhu Hongyu is now the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty and the leader of the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, but this does not mean that he will selflessly help his allies at the expense of his own interests.
