Lord of Ming Dynasty
Page 579
The two sides fought in the dark, and Zheng Jing took the initiative at the beginning and took the lead. He beat Hong Hongxiu, who lost his helmet and armor, and was later beaten by the returning warships and warships led by the little prince Hong Wenyi. Zheng Jing's Australian kingdom was launched every month. Hundred-ton warships were not enough to consume, so they had to spend money to buy Dutch warships and warships, and then put them into the battle with Hong Hongxiu.
In order to completely defeat Hong Hongxiu's New Lu Kingdom, Zheng Jing spent money like water and had to buy on credit. The Dutch didn't buy on credit, but the British came to buy him on credit, so he bought old British ships from the British.The two sides continued to fight in sea and land battles thousands of miles away. Zheng Jing lost the southern coast of southern Australia that they did not occupy, and was forced by the British with debts to go to the coastal land on the east coast.
After the Dutch knew about it, they also gave Zheng Jing ships and money, and asked for the west coast. In order to defeat the new Lu State, Zheng Jing went crazy, kept investing, and kept signing traitorous treaties. They couldn't afford to recruit soldiers, and even all men and strong women aged 15 to 65 went to carry guns to fight against the new Lu State.
And his brother Zheng Zhi and the Spaniards provided him with guns, bullets, and population while dividing up his Australia with the big powers, and did not think about helping him.
So Zheng Zhi's original Japanese servant army, Japanese people, Southeast Asian indigenous population, and servant army soldiers were all sold to Zheng Jing, while the Spaniards sold the indigenous population of the island to Zheng Jing, and the Dutch arrested the local businessmen. The population was sold to Zheng Jing, as well as the indigenous population.
The British sent the population of British India, and indeed these people wiped out many alien and rebel populations through the war between Zheng Jing and Hong Hongxiu, made a lot of money to improve the land, and dealt with a lot of junk.
Here, Hong Tianpao gave all the captured Japanese civilians and all the remaining Japanese and Southeast Asian civilians and servants to Hong Wenxiu for free, and then went ashore from the coast of Sillado, Japan to capture those Japanese civilians and Goguryeo civilians. Huaxia wanted to come to many remaining Japanese civilians, civilians from the servant army in Southeast Asia, and descendants of the Han Chinese from the Qing Dynasty, all of which were sent to Hong Hongxiu.
According to statistics, in the past year, the fighting between the two sides resulted in the death of about 1000 million people, the sinking of a thousand merchant ships, nearly 400 armed merchant ships, and the sinking of more than [-] warships and warships. The way to do it is to massacre when you reach a place, occupying a place and destroying the local population, because both countries have small populations, and destroying the other's population is the best way to solve the war and weaken the opponent.
Where is the fight turned upside down, in order to defend their territory, Zheng Zhi, the Spaniards went to war at the same time, and the Dutch and the British also had friction from time to time, fighting one or two small-scale naval battles from time to time, sinking one or two warships of the opponent, and raiding the opponent one or two territory.
Or the two of them joined forces to attack the Australian land occupied by Hong Hongxiu, because Zheng Jing had already sold it to them.
Zheng Keshuang was fooled by Zheng Jing's emissary, and he also brought soldiers and horses to support Zheng Jing, and took away hundreds of thousands of Japanese and Southeast Asian servants to fight Hong Hongxiu. Hong Tianpao got Hong Hongxiu's promise to give him the island of Guinea , also sent a huge 20 merchant ships, [-] warships, and [-] warships to support Hong Hongxiu, and sent [-] troops to help Hong Hongxiu.
It can be said that Australia has become a world war in Asia.
However, the Huaxia Kingdom is launching an attack on the Yarkand Khanate and the Mongolian grassland forces, and the soldiers are thousands of miles away.
The battle against the Qing Dynasty was only a small-scale battle of thousands of people. It was a battle between the Japanese and Southeast Asian servants led by one or two graduated officers from the Huaxia Military Academy, and various foreign servants in the country fought against the Qing army.
The stable situation made the Qing Dynasty launch a fierce attack on the Russian forces in the Far East. The front of the army was two thousand miles away, and the battles were mainly small-scale battles of thousands of people against a hundred people, because it is difficult to find tens of thousands of Russians gathered in the Far East. With a human-scale force, the Far East is too big.
Goguryeo is not patient either. The common people resisted one after another. They harassed and resisted the Goguryeo Li family dynasty and the Japanese occupying forces, while Japan mainly targeted them. Japan has already occupied the three provinces of Goguryeo and passed various treaties. and blackmail, stripping away many counties in Goguryeo. The situation is like that of Japan and the last dynasty of the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century. Through wars and blackmail, they obtained various interests and lands in the Northeast, and finally established Manchukuo. And in In the end, he instigated the young marshal to transfer his elite into the pass, and then made a surprise attack to take down the Northeast in one fell swoop.
The situation is so complicated that it is almost comparable to the war in the Middle East in Syria, which will be a mess for later generations.
1674 was a reassuring and worrying time.
Chapter 935 Crazy Man Qing
The situation in the Huaxia Kingdom is getting better and better. When others are in a mess, they are desperately developing.
In Zhou Porridge’s report this year, the population of China has reached 5000 million, and the grain output can meet the annual consumption of these people, and the water and land transportation can meet the slowest distance of one and a half months from south to north on land. If you want to reach The most distant Indonesian colony needs to add fifteen days of sea travel, and if you go to other islands, you need to add four or five days of sea travel. If you go to the farthest northern conquest of the Mongolian steppe, it will take an extra day or two to arrive from Indonesia.
The east-west traffic is a bit short, but as the war progresses, it only takes one and a half months to reach the place where the front line is fighting fiercely.
With the foundation laying of the horse-drawn railway, many cities that are relatively close have been able to use these railways to transfer population and freight. This is when the volume is large, and it is obviously not suitable to walk alone, because riding a horse-drawn carriage on the road The speed of the railway is faster than that of the railway, and the railway has to change carriages every ten miles to the station. It is not good for long distances, but it is suitable for short distances, which is equivalent to the buses of later generations.
Horse-drawn carriages are on the road, horse-drawn trains are running on the railway, and there are convenient passenger ships on the waterway. This has brought the transportation of the Huaxia Kingdom to a higher level. It is convenient for the people to travel, and many people start to travel and see the outside world.
People have adapted to the absence of imperial examinations, but only the upgrading and upgrading learning process from private schools to schools, from villages to county schools, from county to prefecture schools, from prefectures to prefecture schools, to Kyoto University, and to Taixue in the capital. During the talent selection process, graduates are all assigned. Those who don’t want to wait for the assignment, or who are dissatisfied with the assignment, can start their own careers. They start from government schools. After graduation, they can find a job by themselves, and the government will give them a certain amount of subsidies.
If you have been unemployed for three years, have not created a career, and do not want to continue to work hard, you can go to the Consultative Bureau to file for the record. The Consultative Bureau is responsible for finding a job for them and solving the employment problem.
Such an atmosphere made the surrounding forces and small countries envious, but there was nothing they could do. At the end of the year, Zhang Qiang let go of business operations, allowing foreign traders to do business in the Kingdom of Huaxia, without having to transfer supplies through domestic merchants.
However, due to the lack of supplies, the population gradually decreased in the Qing Dynasty, and the war continued to expand. Russia was not easy to mess with. It quickly mobilized troops from Europe, [-] Cossack cavalry, and [-] Russian expeditionary troops crossed the Ural Mountains to the Far East. It is getting closer and closer to the Far East occupied by the Manchu Qing, and it is about to start a war with the Manchu conquering troops.
In order to make up for the loss of population and military resources, the Qing Dynasty began to devour Goguryeo, and almost divided the remaining population and territory of Goguryeo with Japan. The population base changed from 800 million to 4000 million.
Continually recruited soldiers, recruited nearly 50 soldiers from Goguryeo, and drove 200 million people from Goguryeo into the Far East to occupy and rule. The population of the Jurchen tribe is about 100, the Japanese servant army is 50, and the Japanese people are 30.
They are advancing rapidly, and they are about to collide with the Russian Expeditionary Force, and it will be another big battle.
In order for the Manchus to start a war with Russia, Zhang Qiang stopped the war with the Manchus in an extraordinary way, and sent an envoy Yao Qisheng to discuss with Kangxi, and exchanged the territory of Liao Province for 200 million Japanese people outside the customs and 30 Japanese servants. And released the remaining 10 captives of the Manchu Manchus in the Qing Dynasty.
Kangxi discussed with his ministers and princes for three months, but they did not make a decision until they were defeated in the first battle with 30 Cossack cavalry. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were slaughtered, and [-] people were captured. A hundred square kilometers of land was occupied, so they agreed that as long as the Huaxia Kingdom provided food and supplies, and sold them guns and artillery, they would exchange the land of Liaoshen for population and supplies.
This is definitely a unique transaction, which surprised many people. Manchu and Huaxia, who have always been hostile, have started negotiations. Many people can't accept it in their hearts, but many high-level officials know that this is a clever plan to drive away wolves. Huaxia The Kingdom has always played like this.
And the Hanchens of the Manchu Qing could not accept such a change. They had no diplomacy in their minds, they were all loyal to the Manchu Qing, and they all wanted to return to the pass and restore the Manqing rivers and mountains.
But Zhang Qiang knew what kind of person Kangxi was. Kangxi was a very smart person, not Cixi, not the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the last days. More population and territory, so he was arbitrary and ordered to reconcile with the Huaxia Kingdom, apparently reconciled.
In fact, a branch of the Han Dynasty played this kind of game with the nomads on the northern grasslands, supporting you with guns and food, and then let you kill each other instead of plundering our Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.
They usually solve problems in this way when they can give some money to do things, the purpose is to preserve their rights and status as well as the Han dynasty.
After half a year of negotiations and arguing with each other, a mutual market was finally opened in Liaoshen to allow merchants from both sides to trade, but arms supplies and strategic supplies can generally only be traded with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Kingdom of China and the Ministry of Military Intelligence.
At the end of 1674, the two sides traded a total of 300 million people, 5000 million Huaxia Yuan in materials, 6000 million Huaxia Yuan in weapons and equipment, and even some carriages of the Huaxia Kingdom. In the process, the Zhaohu Corps of the Huaxia Kingdom successfully advanced to Liaodong The peninsula, occupying Liaoshen, restored the various castles and defensive postures that the Ming Dynasty had previously set up here, and until now, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has basically been restored.
The First Fleet of the Navy dispatched ships to set up a base in Dalian Bay, stationed a squadron, and completely occupied this sea area and the Liaodong Peninsula.
And after the Huaxia Army captured them and the weapons and equipment of the Dajin Kingdom, the Manchu and Qing crazily armed soldiers and horses, transported materials, built roads to the Far East, and transported the mined giant trees, ginseng, and coal from the Far East to the Liaoshen Peninsula and sold them to Huaxia Kingdom, exchanged these for the support of Huaxia Kingdom.
A large number of soldiers and people moved to the Far East. In one year, by 1675, the Manchu Qing had 2000 million people and 300 million soldiers in the Far East. The battle with the Russians also escalated.
Russia sent more soldiers and horses, 30 expeditionary troops, [-] Cossack cavalry, foreign soldiers and horses from other places, and even soldiers and horses from Poland and Sweden. The scale of World War I in later generations.
Although the Japanese annexed Goguryeo, they wanted to suppress Goguryeo's rebel army while developing themselves. Their population is the biggest shortcoming. Even if they annexed Goguryeo, they were the same as the situation in the Qing Dynasty. They used only 400 million people to suppress their own almost times the interracial.
In order to gain the support of the Manchus, they sent troops to help the Manchus fight against the Russians. The Manchus gave them the 200 million people they got from the Huaxia Kingdom, and they only reached 600 million people, with 60 soldiers and horses, of which 30 were sent to the Far East to help Man Qing.
In order to regain its territory in the Far East, Russia deployed manpower from all over the country. Nearly 500 million serfs were armed and sent to the Far East. The battle between the two sides became more and more intense.
Kangxi had no idea what kind of giant he had encountered.
Chapter 936 The East India Company Launches the Alliance
Inside the Straits of Malacca, the Governor's Mansion in Malacca City, this is the new Dutch Governor's Mansion. The Governor's Mansion in Batavia has been captured by the Chinese army. They can only retreat here. This is the last colony of the Netherlands in the Indian Ocean, Asia.
Today there are warships gathered in the port. Warships and armed merchant ships from Portugal, Holland, Spain, the British, as well as the French, Swedes, Italians, etc. come here together. Today they are going to discuss a plan for an expedition to the Kingdom of China , due to the rise of the Huaxia Kingdom and the seclusion of the country, their trade has plummeted, and now it is less than 20.00% of the previous five.
At present, they only have a small amount of goods from the Huaxia Kingdom here, and they are all collected from the Ryukyu Kingdom. The high price is not something they can afford. At this price, they only have double the price they bring back to the West. How could the profits make them a respectable docile businessman?How can they maintain their huge business empire without [-]% huge profits.
They bought spices from India and sold them to the west. In fact, the west is not the main consumption place of spices, and the profits are not so high. In this era, the original Ming Dynasty was the main consumption place of spices. There are many people and a vast market, even if they earn double the profits, If they switch to ceramics, tea, and silk, they can earn [-] to [-] times the profit when they return to the West. Once a year, it is enough for the company’s annual expenses, and the profit is a lot. If there are more ships, the profit may be several times higher. , the company is now losing money again and again, and many shareholders have clamored to revoke their shares, but the company can't pay back the capital.
The Huaxia army also occupied the Japanese island and renamed it Penglai Island. They also needed Japanese gold and silver, and brought it back to the west for their parliament and king to recruit soldiers, build ships, and pay for the luxurious life of the royal family.
Now all of these have been cut off. They simply cannot maintain the daily expenses of the East India Company by reselling some materials and commodities in Luzon Island, New Lu Kingdom, Australia, and India. Such low-profit transactions.
For this reason, they united the British and the Spaniards, and the three countries jointly submitted a war request to their own emperor and parliament, hoping that the kingdom would send troops to support them. At the end of last year, the war between the British and the Dutch had just ended, and the two sides concluded an armistice According to the agreement, the two countries that have fought wars for decades very much need foreign markets to supplement the materials they consume domestically, and to solve their domestic surplus weapons and equipment, as well as the surplus troops summoned by the war. Large expenditures, disbanded, these people are either going to be pirates, or making trouble, or losing their jobs, increasing the burden. The war request of the East India Company just allowed the two countries to find a good solution to the problem of these goods and military placement. Let them go on fighting.
Because of the extravagant life of the king in Spain, the entire royal family and the kingdom are heavily in debt. This year, they borrow new debts, repay the debts of previous years, and then borrow another sum for expenses. Most of the East India Company’s income flows into the royal family to repay the debts. If you can repay the interest, and then use this money as a guarantee of credit, and continue to borrow, the royal family's arrears will not be paid off even if it takes 800 years.
Under such circumstances, how can you let them endure their only source of income being cut off? This is absolutely not allowed, so the Spaniards were the most active and mobilized ten first-class battleships and twenty second-class battleships from China. Fifty third-tier battleships, one hundred fourth-tier battleships, two hundred fifth-tier and sixth-tier battleships, transporting [-] soldiers and horses, set off for an expedition to the Huaxia Kingdom.
This started planning in the first half of 1674, and it has already started in the second half of the year, and it will arrive in a few months.
The British also dispatched the same number of warships, and added some additional allies. They attracted Italians, French, Swedes, and even Poles to the Far East. These people had nearly a hundred warships in total. There were nearly 2 horses, and the British also dispatched 4 soldiers and horses, with a total force of more than [-].
