Chapter 673. Why don't men make headlines? (Repair)
More than 400 years ago, someone actually had the same trouble as Teacher Wang Feng. Why can't I make the headlines?
"Isn't the military seat just a newspaper? Is it that important?"
I took a pot of coffee from outside and came in. Seeing Huang Degong still flipping around with the newspaper, the heroic and graceful female staff officer was really a little amused and asked with a smile.
Although Huang Degong had many minor problems, he was a straightforward real man. After listening to Gu Moyi's problem, he put the newspaper on the table heavily. He nodded without any concealment and snorted: "Of course! A man cuts his blood and fights thousands of miles away. He is just a man who has made a name for himself and has been famous for his eternal life?"
"As long as you make the headlines, everyone in the world will know that I am Huang Degong, and my mother is in heaven and can also be laughed at. Therefore, a real man should carry a three-foot sword to make a great contribution. The headlines are above!"
He really couldn't hold back, and the female staff officer finally couldn't help but smile. Then, before Huang Degong got angry, he quickly opened the official document sent by the imperial department of war and said hurriedly.
"If the military general wants to make the headlines, it should be what it wants this time! Because the Battle of Luzon is very important to the Regent! Lord Hong promised that the Imperial Capital Daily will continue to publish the achievements of the Sanbao eunuch Zheng He and the tragic situation of the Manila Massacre in these days to set off public opinion. Once the military officer wins the decision and makes the front page headlines, the effect will be sensational!"
His pupils were lit a little, and Gu Moyi's breathing was slightly rapid, and he said excitedly.
"And although the Hong Military Affairs Department is unclear, the verbal statement revealed is that the Zhengcheng County incident, which now occupies the front page headlines, is definitely related to the Kaiming Emperor today! Once the investigation of the Zhengcheng County incident is revealed, the Military Officer will make great contributions to the Regent and have a good face. What does it mean to the Regent? "
What does it mean? It means becoming emperor! Grasping the handle of the former emperor, restoring the country! Dominating the cause! Adding one piece will raise Mao Jue's reputation to the peak. At that time, add nine tins and abdicating, which will be a natural thing to go down one by one. At that time, will Mao Jue treat him unfairly, Huang Degong, the stepping stone who serves as the stepping stone?
However, it was not as excited as Gu Moyi imagined. Huang Degong's expression became heavier. After all, he was once a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and now he wanted to be a gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty. In this era when loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were moral examples, his heart was still quite complicated.
He took a deep breath of the cigar, and the yellow one in the clouds and mist was slightly annoyed. He thought he would make him feel more happy, but looking at this expression, Gu Moyi was stunned and questioned again, and was stunned.
"Military?"
He waved his hand and opened the smoke, but Huang Degong suddenly changed the subject.
"Spain is coming soon?"
Military was Gu Moyi's job. She quickly stood at attention and replied in a simplicity and concise manner: "Returning to the army, the Western Barbarian General led by the barbarian chief Alex, and had already moved south from San Fernando City. The southern Barbarian Chief Hernan also landed in Lucena from Mindanao. In about three days, we will attack our city of Manila on both sides. There are also naval troops missing all the way. The subordinates believe that they will arrive at Manila Bay within three days."
"The waterway has nothing to do with me. Yuan Crooked will take over. As for Master Lu, 30,000 people will go together. I may have a headache. I even got a big attack from the north and south, which is simply overestimating my ability!"
"What the Military Chief said is very true!"
A strong sneer appeared on his face, and Gu Moyi nodded with a villain-like villain and took over the conversation: "The Western Man nobles have been very comfortable recently, and it is time for them to make some contributions to the regent's cause!"
"I'll just go there?"
In traditional Chinese culture, men belong to yang and women belong to yin. What he said is true. Although Huang Degong is a little strategic and is not a reckless man, he is better at lying on the battlefield and defeating the enemy with the power of Mount Tai. Such a person who plays yin is really inferior to Gu Moyi from the Staff Academy.
After getting Huang Degong's approval, the flower in the army hummed and went out, but after seeing her off, Huang Degong's face collapsed from the piss of aura just now. He looked back at the newspaper spread on the table. He pinched it again and picked up the smoldering cigar on the ashtray again.
The wide newspaper covered his entire face, and only smoke rings kept coming out from above the newspaper.
…………
Although the Spaniards were greedy and vicious, they were indeed amazing. With the small mountainous country that was bigger than the palm of the European continent, they had just repelled a trace of blue and gained independence. They were able to rule nearly half of the earth for nearly a century.
This counterattacking Spanish army also reflected this dominance. In the huge Luzon, the Spanish population was only 15,600,000, but it ruled a total of 300,000 to 400,000 races such as Tagalog, Visayas, Bikoll. Among the more than 30,000 troops, the Luzon natives had more than 20,000 troops. The European adventurers and the Spanish hired together had to join some Japanese warriors and illegal pirates of the Ming Dynasty to barely raise up 10,000 people.
The only people who can compare with the Spanish are probably the only people in the Eight Banners Jianzhou who did not have Mao Jue's time and space. They have a population of only one million, and have dominated the Ming Dynasty with nearly 15,000 people.
However, since it is the relationship between rule and being ruled, there are gaps to be inserted in it!
The Spanish prepared this war for more than half a year, but it was not white. Under the hot tropical sunshine, the tanned and shiny natives were divided into three directions like huge earthworms, rolling forward. On their right shoulders, spears from European crafts shone with cold light, and on their left hand was a long hexagonal vine shield woven by vines unique to Luzon. The three thousand people in the lead even wrapped in European plate armor. Most of the natives behind also surrounded a circle of vine armor at important positions, carrying large bows made of vine trees and pots of steel feather arrows behind them. As the equipment upgraded, the natives also doubled their morale, humming and urging forward like wild boars.
In the middle of the native army, they were wearing Spanish linen armor and plate armor on the outside. The famous Spanish square formation was the three or four meters high. The Spanish spear, which was far more deterrent than the native short spear. In the sun, people and spears were like moving steel forests. Behind the spearmen were one row of convex gunmen carrying Spanish swords.
With such troops, the Spaniards destroyed the Inca Empire, the Aztecs, and the Maya. In their opinion, the Ming Dynasty, which also belonged to the ancient Eastern country, was not necessarily much more skillful than the opponents that had fallen before.
The arrogant army also carried a total of 120 large and small cannons, which was considered a feat in Europe. You should know that Mao Jue's cheap father-in-law Wallenstein and the Swedish genius king Gustav fought at the battle of Lucen, who decided the fate of the empire. The combined cannons of both sides did not exceed 100.
This army is the most powerful force ever found on the Philippine Islands.
Judging from the forces alone, the Ming army was absolutely weak. A whole legion experienced the Battle of Manila and the consumption of disease for more than half a year, and there were about 7,500 people. In addition, the Ming people and the locals who were forced to recruit him later immigrated to Manila were only 10,000, which was one-third of the Spanish.
The main force commanded the commander of the main force recruited from all over Northern Luzon, with 7,000 European troops and 15,000 native troops. The old officer Alex, who was promoted to major general by the fire, was also full of confidence. He rode on the back of Anderlucia, who was transported thousands of miles away. The old guy's goatee was rising.
But just as a large group of thugs marched southward and wanted to re-sweep Manila, the native troops in front suddenly stopped in a commotion.
"What happened! Who asked you to stop?"
Among the local tribes of Luzon, the chief's status was like a god, but in front of Alex, he was just a slave wearing a gorgeous dress. He was full of anger and rode from the central army to the front army. At the slightly stunned native chiefs, the old colonial officer directly waved his whip up. With the sound of slapping, the few natives were exposed on the skin and flesh outside the vine armor and immediately showed blood.
He grinned in pain and jumped up and down like a baboon, but was intimidated by the Spaniard's usual tyranny. Most chiefs did not dare to resist at all, so they could only cover their heads and beg for mercy.
However, big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp. Alex is not the biggest in this food chain. Just as he roared in an angry roar, an old charlatan wearing a gorgeous red silk priest robe, with a white beard, and like a white robe Gandalf, came out of the former army with a cough.
"It was my father who made everyone stop, Major General Alex!"
He can make a fuss about them, but he dare not have any temper with the charlatan in front of him. The Spanish Empire is an absolute Catholic country. The heretics referee is a rude word. Even the great nobles have to make him look sexy, let alone a civilian, who has been born and survived for many years to reach his current status.
Just like the face change in Sichuan opera, Alex's old dog face that was about to bite was quickly turned into a golden-retriever face, and he nodded and bowed, and almost stuck out his tongue. With a sad face, Alex asked sadly.
"Father! If you don't seize the time to march, the Ming people will flee from Manila by boat! These pagans have committed heinous sins against God's people. If they do not punish them and throw them into the stake, where is the majesty of the empire?"
With a expressionless face, the priest of Northern Luzon was shaking his face and said arrogantly: "They have Archbishop of Ondolema, Governor of Darazan and Miss Serita in their hands. The envoy of the Ming Dynasty said that if there is no negotiation, they will execute several noble nobles. Do you want to kill several adults?"
I can't bear this charge, Alex immediately shook his head like a rattle.
In ancient times, Cao Gui debated the battle, and once again, he became weaker and exhausted. Now the Spanish have been poked back so easily. At a distance of ninety kilometers from Manila, the aggressive coalition forces had to stop and camp on the spot.
The natives had not experienced too much military training. The natural scattered personality weakness of the people of the South Island were immediately revealed. After finally organizing neatly arranged teams, they scattered a sudden spear and long shield, and ran to the forest to pick fruits. It would probably take a few more days to reorganize them.
Amid the gaze of a group of Spanish officers, holding a small Catholic flag, moving their long and strong legs with military boots, and carrying a few guards, Gu Moyi was carelessly blocking the front of the Spanish army.
