Daming pirates

So Lin Yiyang stood up and bowed to Xiaotian, clasping his fists and saying: "My lord has good intentions, and the ministers are sincerely convinced. Although we can protect them for a while, how can we protect our descendants for generations to come? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, as the lord said."

Yes, those who are virtuous and capable will not be buried, but those who are virtuous and incompetent will not be ignored, such as unworthy descendants!"

After hearing what Lin Yiyang said, everyone gradually felt relieved. They followed Yu Xiaotian and already knew that Yu Xiaotian had a huge plan. This world is just one of them. The world is still big! As long as they

If future generations are willing to work hard, how can they not have the opportunity to stand out? It is really ridiculous to think about these things that have not yet been revealed, so everyone stood up again and said that they would obey the emperor's orders!

Yu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he said these words today because he was afraid that these subordinates would follow him and only think about honoring their ancestors, and one day replace the current dignitaries and become the next generation.

The social bug.

That's why he brought up this matter quite inappropriately at this time, in order to give these guys a heads up in advance and stop them from thinking too much.

Yu Xiaotian nodded and asked everyone to sit down again. He turned around and waved his hand. The guards immediately pulled open the large curtain covering the wall, and a huge map of the Ming Dynasty immediately appeared on the wall.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and their thoughts immediately returned to reality, focusing all their attention on the Ming Dynasty's territory.

Yu Xiaotian reached out and picked up a baton in front of him, walked to the map, pointed at the map and said: "Everyone, please look, this map is the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

The areas currently marked with small red flags are the areas we have controlled overtly and covertly, not to mention Fujian. Although it is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial government, you know better than me who has the final say here!

Guangdong and Guangxi! In this coastal area of ​​Guangdong, we already have enough say. Although we have not yet replaced the local government, as long as we want to replace it, it is only a matter of effort!

In the coastal areas of Zhejiang, our power is basically deeply rooted. Although it is not as strong as here, the local forces have no choice but to do anything to us, and we have actually controlled Hangzhou Bay and the coastal islands. If we take down Zhejiang, we will not be able to use it.

Too many troops.

As for South Zhili, we have not spread enough power yet, but we have penetrated into all aspects. As long as necessary, we can go up the river and approach Nanjing!

As for Shandong, it is our most important base in the north. At present, Denglai and other places are basically under our control, and the government basically has issued orders not to leave the city..."

Yu Xiaotian first gave a brief summary of the current actual control area and sphere of influence of the Sea Wolf. First, let everyone present understand the specific distribution of forces to avoid deviations in the subsequent discussions. This includes various places.

It took Yu Xiaotian more than half an hour to explain the current situation of troop preparations and equipment before he could explain the entire situation clearly.

After everyone looked at the map and listened to Yu Xiaotian's introduction to the current distribution of their forces, everyone was very excited. Many of them only knew part of the situation before and had no chance to understand the current distribution of Sea Wolf's forces.

So clearly, after listening to Yu Xiaotian's introduction today, I realized that over the years, under Yu Xiaotian's secret deployment, the Yu family army has controlled such a large territory and ambushed such a huge army in so many places.

strength.

Originally, they thought that this time Yu Xiaotian raised troops, he must send troops from Fujian, and first use troops in Zhejiang and Guangdong and Guangxi. However, they did not expect that in the north, most of Shandong has now become the sphere of influence of the Sea Wolf.

, that’s not far from the capital!

So after everyone heard this, they all felt extremely excited and began to carefully consider the situation in front of them.

"Now on the surface, it seems that the Ming government troops have indeed achieved some success in annihilating the refugee army, but these refugee troops have restrained about 200,000 official troops!

If the refugee army is not eliminated, the Ming government will not be able to mobilize enough strength to deal with us!

And my preliminary prediction is that in the second half of this year, after winter, the northern slave slaves are likely to once again invade the pass and go south to plunder. If my expectations are not met, I am afraid that the slave slaves will mobilize most of their troops this time.

After entering the customs, it is likely to take you as far as Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province or even further!

Preliminary estimates show that the force of the Eight Banners of the Jiannu Banners entering the Pass this time, together with the Eight Han Banners and the Eight Mongolian Banners, may reach about 100,000 to 150,000 people. According to the habits of the Jiannu Banners, they may claim to have three soldiers.

One hundred thousand people entered the pass, so the Ming army's military strength in the entire northern part of the pass is not dominant.

Coupled with the current combat capabilities and morale of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers cannot stop the Jiannu army from moving south, so once the Jiannu troops enter the pass this time, they will definitely be quite vicious."

"And my current plan is to take advantage of this time when the slave-building Tatars enter the customs to raise troops to deal a fatal blow to the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible. Therefore, sending troops this time is a decisive battle!

We strive to determine the outcome in one battle, so that there is no possibility of the Ming Dynasty repeating itself, and we strive to achieve a fatal blow! Now that I have recruited you, I want everyone to pool their wisdom and come up with a complete method to ensure that this goal is achieved!"

After everyone heard this, they suddenly became excited again, with excited expressions on their faces. They had been holding it in for so long. In fact, some of them had long been impatient with waiting. They thought that with their strength now, they were completely

There is no need to compromise with the Ming Dynasty anymore.

And now everyone has felt the strong hostility of the Ming court and government towards the Sea Wolf Group and Yu Xiaotian. In the past two years, they have made many small moves to try to contain their Sea Wolf Group.

When things have reached this point, many members of the Sea Wolf tribe privately believe that the time has come and Yu Xiaotian can lead them to rebel immediately. With their strength, it won't take long to obtain the victory.

The world kicked the Ming Dynasty to the ground.

However, during this period of time, Yu Xiaotian still did not express his position clearly, and was still suppressing the aggressive thoughts of his subordinates, making all departments calm down and wait for his decision.

Now that Yu Xiaotina has finally put aside all distracting thoughts and decided to raise an army to rebel, how can this not make them feel excited?

Although the slave-building army has not yet broken through the border and moved south, Yu Xiaotian said that when winter comes this year, the slave-building army may march south, so there will definitely be no problem with this matter.

If this is the case, then Yu Xiaotian's choice to raise troops at this time is undoubtedly a very good time. The entry of slaves from the north will definitely frighten the current court, and it will definitely contain most of the officers and soldiers in the north.

This left the officers and soldiers with no time to go south to deal with them.

Therefore, at this juncture, it was a perfect opportunity for Yu Xiaotian to choose to launch an army and rebel. So everyone immediately began to use their brains and put forward their suggestions.

The opinions put forward by everyone were to first go south and capture Guangdong and Guangxi, then turn around and go north, first capture the Jiangnan area, and then send troops north until they attack the capital.

Some people have also pointed out that there is no need to consider first in Guangdong and Guangxi now, because there is a third fleet and part of the army stationed in Hong Kong. Even if we do not go south to take Guangdong now, the officers and soldiers in Guangdong will have this part of the Sea Wolf army.

Containment is unlikely to pose any threat to the Sea Wolf's lair in Fujian.

Therefore, since we have raised troops, it is best not to delay, directly attack Zhejiang in the north, then enter Zhili in the south, and capture the city of Nanjing. As long as the Ming Dynasty's water transportation is cut off, even if the northern capital does not take it, the Ming Dynasty will

Without food and salary, it finally collapsed and became scattered.

After this idea was put forward, it immediately received support from many people, because it was indeed safer to do so. After the first battle, as long as Nanjing City was captured, the Yu Jiajun would have the absolute initiative to move north.

You can continue along the canal into Shandong and attack the capital. You can go straight to Huguang to the west and take down Huguang, the granary of the Ming Dynasty. After all, at this time, there is a proverb that "Huguang is familiar with the world".

As long as Huguang is taken down, the world will basically be settled, and the Ming Dynasty will be unable to stand up again.

This proposal made most people feel that it was more reliable, so it quickly overwhelmed other voices. Some people even put forward more radical proposals. Even Zhejiang was ignored because Zhejiang is close to Fujian, which is equivalent to Yu Jiajun

You can take your meat whenever you want.

Since we want to attack Nanjing, we might as well take advantage of Sea Wolf's superior maritime conditions and use numerous sea ships to transport a large number of soldiers and horses directly to Songjiang Prefecture, take the Yangtze River Estuary upstream, and directly attack Nanjing without giving any reaction to the Ming Dynasty.

If you have the opportunity, first capture Yangzhou and Zhenjiang Prefecture, and then directly capture Nanjing City. In this way, you can directly cut off the canal water transportation and put the Ming Dynasty to death.

As soon as this argument came out, it immediately received support from the Navy and was recognized by many people, who felt that this should be done faster.

But Yu Xiaotian was sitting at the top, smoking his pipe, listening but not speaking, summarizing silently in his heart.

Everyone rushed to speak first and put forward some of their specific suggestions. There were people next to them who were responsible for recording and sorting out the suggestions made by these people, and then submitted some specific matters to Yu Xiaotian for review.

.

This meeting lasted for a whole day. Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Xiaotian did not express his position immediately. Instead, he ordered the chef of the house to prepare meals for everyone to eat first and continue the discussion at night.
