Chapter 339 The Tokugawa Shogunate's Counterattack(2/2)
Tadao Sakai suddenly lowered his head and replied quickly: "Hi!"
Doi Takisaki said again: "Daming from the Kanto region formed the Kanto Cluster Army, led by the general himself. The combat mission is to gather outside the Uenobara Canyon at the right time, lure the Ming army into the Uenobara Canyon, and then attack it from east to west, trap it in the valley, just waiting for the sequin to turn snow."
The distant South China Sea.
Shi Langzheng led the combat formation of the Second Fleet to slowly sail forward. This combat formation consisted of ten three-masted gunboats, which was already a very powerful naval force in the world at that time. Although the old naval power Spain and the emerging naval power England both had more than a hundred three-masted gunboats, most of these warships were cruising in the waters of Europe and had few opportunities to come to the Far East.
Although Shi Lang is a powerful general in the Ming Empire's naval general who is second only to Huang Degong's qualifications, the newly built and launched iron-clad ship "Yingxing" still joined the third fleet and became the flagship of Zhang Yanlin. This incident made Shi Lang very depressed for a while, and he blamed Wang Pu for being partial and giving Zhang Yanlin all the good things.
This time, the Third Fleet formed a combat formation and sailed into the South China Sea. In addition to conducting routine maritime patrols and protecting the passing Ming merchant ships from pirates, it also has another special mission, which is to investigate Temasek and establish a permanent military stronghold in Temasek.
Temasek is actually the ancient name of Singapore. It is located at the southernmost end of the Malay Peninsula and closely links the Strait of Malacca. Its geographical location is extremely important. As a time traveler, Wang Pu certainly knows the importance of this small land. If you can send troops to occupy this small land, it will bring endless benefits to future generations!
With the development of industry and commerce, the tolls of past merchant ships alone are huge income, and there is no need to mention the importance of military affairs. As long as the Ming Empire blocked the Strait of Malacca, it basically prevented the possibility of European powers intervening in the Far East. But then again, with the strength of the Ming Empire at this time, it is impossible for European powers to intervene in the Far East again, especially in Taiwan, Penghu, Japan and other places.
The blue sea and blue sky are endless.
While Shi Lang was practicing boxing on the deck, the sentry on the mast suddenly shouted: "Land, land is found in front!"
"Land?" Shi Lang closed his fists and stood still, took the towel from the guards, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and frowned, "Is it time for Temasek?"
The first mate came to Shi Lang with a navigation chart.
The two guards spread the navigation chart on the deck. Shi Lang gestded at the navigation chart for a while and said confidently: "Well, Temasek should be ahead. I sent the order, all ships fell sails and anchored, and used small boats to send the two Marine Corps corps to land to see if there were indigenous people there. If there were, they would be solved."
With Shi Lang's order, ten three-masted gunboats quickly dropped their sails and anchored, and small boats were put down from the side of the ship. After the Central Army was reorganized again, the organization below the battalion changed from a sentry to a gang, with one thousand people in one gang) of the Marine Corps quickly got off the ship and rowed to the shore.
It was Wang Pu's military order to occupy Temasek and resolve the local indigenous people.
As a time traveler, Wang Pu has always lacked favoritism towards Southeast Asians.
Even though 70% of Singapore is Chinese, Wang Pu also lacks favorable to this country and is full of hatred for the indigenous people of Southeast Asia, because these indigenous people are the ancestors of Nepal and Indian monkeys, Malaysian monkeys, and Vietnamese monkeys. They have all brought humiliation to the Han people.
