If Lin Danhan could conquer the northern part of the desert, it would not be a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty, which would increase the scale of bilateral trade.

If the Mongols are restless, the Ming Dynasty can teach Mongolia a lesson in the future.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was worried about Lin Danhan's western expedition to Mobei. On the contrary, after Lin Danhan's western expedition to Mobei, it was impossible for too much force to intervene in the Liaodong war in the past one or two years, so there was no uncertainty that was difficult to control, which was of great benefit to the Ming army destroying Jiannu.

"Now with the bayonet, it's time to form a new infantry division." Zhu Youxiao thought to himself, feeling more and more necessary.

However, you have to think about the tactics carefully. Zhu Youxiao vaguely remembers that after the bayonet appeared, Europeans once developed a line-based tactic.

This tactic is that the entire army is full of musketeers, usually lined up in a row and then moved forward slowly. When both sides adopted line tactics, it became the famous queue shooting. Once this queue shooting tactic encounters a cavalry attack, it will form a hollow square formation.

If the cavalry breaks into the square formation, then bayonets from all directions can be stabbed.

The biggest weakness of the hollow square formation is that once the enemy has artillery, it will be more sour and refreshing when they die. That shot will definitely kill you.

Of course, what Zhu Youxiao has to consider at present is not the enemy's artillery, but the cavalry.

Whether it is the wild boar skin, the Mongols, or the Yarkand Khanate, the cavalry that poses the greatest threat to the Ming army. This tactic is obviously effective when dealing with cavalry.

The most important thing is that this tactic can maximize the firepower of infantry.

Zhu Youxiao immediately wrote down the new infantry division model and sent it to the command headquarters for research. After Lu Xiangsheng and others saw this new tactic, they felt that it was not very reliable.

"Your Majesty, I think this tactic is really useful if it is used to deal with those firearm troops. But if we are facing enemy troops like Jiannu and Mongolia, the risk of this tactic is higher. Even if the musketeers have bayonets, they are still not as good as professional piketeers in terms of close resistance." Lu Xiangsheng told Zhu Youxiao: "Once the enemy attacks our military formation with large-scale cavalry, musketeers may not be able to stop it, but piketeers are more reliable. After all, we are mainly infantry, and we should stabilize the military formation, so we can be invincible."

Obviously, the national conditions between China and the West are different. European countries have firearm troops. However, the enemies facing the Ming Dynasty did not have firearm troops, but were mostly cavalry.

"So I think this kind of troops is not suitable for the Liaodong battlefield, but they should be more useful in the south." Lu Xiangsheng concluded.

"What I said makes sense." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but nodded. Congshanru said: "Then let the Marine Corps and the 023024 Division practice according to this plan first."

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said.

The Marine Corps will expand overseas in the future, for example, there are no cavalry in Southeast Asia and other places. The 023024 Division under construction is two infantry divisions that Zhu Youxiao intends to invest in the Indochina Peninsula, which is suitable for such tactics.

The command then took out the reorganization plan and also carried out tactical reorganization of various infantry divisions of the Central Army. The bayonets were fully equipped with the Central Army. After all the musketeers of the Central Army were equipped with bayonets, they would introduce hollow quadrup tactics. But at the same time, the spearmen were retained, and the focus was on preventing Jiannu's cavalry from exploding quickly.

As long as the Ming army can stand firm when the cavalry is shattered in the wild and not be defeated by the cavalry, they can stand invincible.

The Marine Corps and the 023024 Division completely eliminated the organization of spearmen and turned them into musketeers equipped with bayonets.

After Lu Xiangsheng wiped out the thieves in Shaanxi, he was sent by Zhu Youxiao to preside over the training.

In addition to speeding up the training of troops, the commander-in-chief's layout in Liaodong is still continuing. In addition to laying out the Prince River defense line, the commander-in-chief is still constantly increasing combat supplies to Liaodong, making sufficient preparations for the next battle.

The strategic highway from Jinzhou to Anshan is also being built. After the repair, the heavy carriage will be able to deliver supplies quickly. It is possible to walk before the highway is built, but the road conditions are not very good and the speed is relatively affected.

Because of the improvement of transportation tools, the loss of transportation was greatly reduced. Unlike in ancient wars, ten kilograms of grain were eaten on the road when it was transported to the front line.

Such a situation occurs, mainly human transportation is used. Although some animal power is used, the transportation efficiency is also very low.

The heavy carriages produced in Beizhili today have greatly improved the transportation efficiency on land, not only faster, but also much less loss.

This is the progress of the times. Although there is no industrial revolution, the improvement of productivity is the inevitable result of history.

The development of the Liaodong Peninsula is also underway, and the development of arable land and mineral forest areas has already had a clear process. The cabinet has restored its administrative system on the Liaodong Peninsula, and urban reconstruction work has also begun. A large number of workers have already taken boats to the Liaodong Peninsula.

All of this is the prelude to the Ming army's counterattack.

Zhu Youxiao prepared for his troops and the internal situation further improved. The northern provinces were basically stable. The biggest hidden danger of the bandits in northern Shaanxi had been basically wiped out, and the rebellion of local officials such as Anbangyan in Guizhou was increasingly declining under Qin Liangyu's attack.

The investment of the royal consortium in North Korea has also continued to rise, with the Ming Dynasty exporting goods to North Korea totaling four million yuan in the first quarter, and it is still increasing.

Naturally, the North Koreans cannot spend endless money to buy Ming Dynasty goods. However, after the Ming Dynasty exports goods, it can continue to export capital to North Korea, invest a lot in North Korea, and organize North Koreans to produce. Thus, it obtains a large amount of assets, and the raw materials exported by North Korea to the Ming Dynasty will continue to increase.

At that time, North Korea will export raw materials such as minerals, wood, coal, etc. to the Ming Dynasty will export goods to North Korea. The Ming Dynasty will exchange less labor for the labor success created by more labor.

How much Ming Dynasty goods can afford depends on how much raw materials they can produce and how much Ming Dynasty investment they have.

The situation in North Korea is also relatively stable. Zhao Yan, the governor, has become the real emperor of North Korea, and has captured both military and political affairs. North Korean general Li Zhi is very cooperative with Zhao Yan because he is tied to the chariot of the royal consortium.

King Lee Nao of Korea tragically lived in the palace and waited for death. He was indispensable for his glory and wealth, but his real power was gone.

Trade with Japan was not continuous, but agreed with the Tokugawa shogunate to carry out in June every year. In June of that year, there were originally many merchant ships going to Japan in Yuegang, Quanzhou. But this year there were very few, because the Royal Navy was continuously intercepting passing merchant ships in the waters of the Ryukyu Islands.

In just a few months, the Dutch merchant ships lost more than 30, and the Ming Dynasty civilian merchant ships were also intercepted.

Only a few merchant ships were able to successfully travel to Japan. Of course, the Tokugawa shogunate did not reject the Dutch and the merchant ships under Li Dan.

Although a trade agreement was reached with the Ming Dynasty, it did not mean that these merchant ships would be rejected. However, the Portuguese merchant ships intercepted by the Royal Navy were tragic after they arrived in Japan this year. The Tokugawa shogunate began to refuse trade with the Portuguese.

Because the trade was conducted directly with the Ming Dynasty, and the firearms that the Dutch and the Portuguese could provide to Japan were actually more advanced, and the price was lower than those of the Dutch and the Portuguese, and the Tokugawa shogunate did not need the Portuguese.

Even if individual Dutch merchant ships broke through the blockade of the Ming Dynasty Royal Navy and arrived in Japan, the Japanese's enthusiasm for these Dutch people was greatly reduced.

In terms of goods, the Dutch could not provide anything that could attract the Tokugawa shogunate. The various products in the Ming Dynasty were much better than those of the Dutch. Now the Dutch had no advantage in firearms, so naturally they had no enthusiasm for the Dutch.

Regarding the issue of the Ming Dynasty's Royal Navy blocking trade routes, the Tokugawa shogunate was actually somewhat worried that the Ming Dynasty would dominate.

However, the Tokugawa shogunate was even more afraid that the Ming Dynasty supported other Japanese daimyos, so the Tokugawa shogunate did not dare to express any dissatisfaction at this point.

Japan in this day actually became a highly unified single-nation country like Japan in later generations. The emperors were not mythologically. It is common for each lord to fight each other. Although the Tokugawa Shogunate hoped to get rid of the Ming Dynasty's identity as the sect leader of Japan, it also did not have the courage to confront the Ming Dynasty head-on.

What made the Tokugawa shogunate more at ease was that the Ming Dynasty did not have the idea of ​​interfering in Japan at present.

The trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty was basically stable, and traded for one or two months each year in the future. The Royal Navy's trade monopoly on Japan was relatively successful, and few Dutch and private merchant ships could successfully go to Japan.

The Dutch have decided to give up the Japanese market because of heavy losses.

The Royal Navy of Ming Dynasty established a military port in the Ryukyu Kingdom and arranged a lot of warships and troops, and the Dutch were basically helpless.

Song Kezhen was frustrated by the Dutch's confrontation with the Royal Navy at sea. Before the Dutch's local support for Batavia, she had no more ideas.

However, what made Song Ke happy was that news had already been heard from the Netherlands that the mainland would support fifteen warships to Batavia by the end of this year.

Of course, this is the greatest force that the East India Company can support Batavia. If there are more, other trade routes in the Netherlands will be affected to a certain extent.

The Spaniards were also asking for help from the local government. The Spaniards became much richer, so the local government decided to transfer 30 additional warships to Manila.

Not only did they want to defend the Philippines, but they also wanted to force the Ming Dynasty to reopen trade with Spain through war.

In Taiwan, the development of the three-year Apocalypse was relatively smooth.

After the pirates in the western coastal areas of Taiwan were seized, the Royal Agricultural Company established six strongholds in western Taiwan. At the same time, strongholds were also opened in the Yilan area of ​​Taipei, and large farms were opened in each stronghold.

The only problem was that there was a conflict in the indigenous people in Taiwan, but it was quickly suppressed. When dealing with these indigenous people, the government adopted a policy of cutting off the mess by quickly killing the mess, first suppressing and then appeasement.

The indigenous people were beaten to be beaten and then included in management and treated equally. The indigenous people who were willing to live in the mountains recognized their territory in the mountains and regularly opened markets to trade with them, so that both parties could live peacefully. The indigenous people who lived on the plains were all included in the government management. They either distributed the land to cultivate themselves or became workers of the Royal Agricultural Company.

If you want to develop Taiwan quickly, a slow-moving policy will not work. Although this can ease the contradictions and increase the time for running-in.

But if Zhu Youxiao wanted Taiwan to become the source of commercial grain and sugar for the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible for him to write such ink.

For the indigenous people of Naxi, living under the management of the Ming Dynasty, their quality of life will be better. After all, Taiwan is now based on the development model of the royal agricultural company, and the Ming Dynasty will not immigrate too many people to Taiwan. Therefore, the treatment of farm workers is very good. Although the wages may not be very high, the welfare is guaranteed. Compared with their previous living standards, the quality of life has been greatly improved.

The Ming Dynasty also had advanced culture, and those indigenous people who had not been much civilized will also be quickly civilized under the management of the Ming Dynasty. Basically, one or two generations later, there will be no difference from the people of the Ming Dynasty.

These indigenous people should also be glad that they encountered the Ming Dynasty, which was the most humanitarian issue in this era. The word humanitarianism was created by the Chinese nation. Compared with the barbaric Dutch and the Spanish, the Ming Dynasty's policies towards them were much more moderate.

This is mainly related to culture. Chinese civilization itself is good at accumulating and creating wealth, so it will not madly exploit the Taiwanese people like the Dutch and the Spanish.

It was also because the Ming Dynasty did not exploit the local indigenous people at this time, but it only occupied their original hunting grounds. However, it also put down the work of the indigenous people who were willing to obey the government's management. Therefore, after some conflicts in various parts of Taiwan, the Tao quickly stabilized, and there was no public grievances.

For those natives, they were also willing to live under the management of the Ming government because they lived much better under the management of the Ming government than before.

These indigenous people do not understand agricultural production, but they still know how to do things. The Royal Agricultural Company's agricultural employment model has many processes. Just learn a few of the links, and these indigenous people do not need to understand any farming planting techniques.

These indigenous people also made up for the problem of Taiwan's shortage of labor, which accelerated the development of Taiwan by Royal Agriculture Company a lot.

Basically, as long as the road is built, there will be a large farm.

Royal Bank has mobilized a large number of loans for the development of Taiwan. The development of Taiwan is basically a stable project without losing money. Taiwan is indeed a unique agricultural island. Water conservancy facilities do not require too much investment, and land reclamation is also relatively convenient. The development area is a coastal plain or basin, so it is not difficult to build roads.

The land is fertile and the climate is more suitable.

Such a treasure land will produce a large amount of rice and sugar cane after planting. Grain and sugar will not worry about sales, so how can you lose money?

The Ming Dynasty's extensive development in Taiwan made the Dutch covet. The East India Company was obviously unwilling to accept the failure on the coast of China, and the pirate organization Li Dan, also unwilling to see the Ming government gain a foothold in Taiwan.

A new offensive operation on the coast of China is being planned. To be continued.
