Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhao Shuai turned around and walked away, saying, "Take me to find your subordinates, and then I will solve the problem of lack of manpower for you. Let's go now."

A day later, Wu Kejing found the first intelligence agent he sent out to contact the surrounding area, and the results were not bad. He found an intelligence agent left on the battlefield, an old guy, who was definitely a Han Chinese, but now He was unkempt and embarrassed. After washing up and changing into Wu Kejing's clothes, the guy was already a strong man. As a former supervisor of the Central Asian Cavalry Army, he was sent by Framed by someone, it was actually to cover his joining the mercenary team in exile in Central Asia. When the Ministry of Military Intelligence was selecting personnel, it selected him and made arrangements for him. He was entered together with the personnel from Central Asia. Russia.

There are many people like this, all of whom are intelligence supervisors from the cavalry army. I don’t know about the others, but I found him now. They once received a mission to assist Wu Kejing, but before they set off, Wu Kejing and the others had already broken through the encirclement. , rushed out of the Caspian Sea, reached the Mediterranean Sea, and disappeared into the storm, whereupon they who had hurried over were alone, scattered in all directions by the Russian raids, and now lost.

That intelligence officer was from their team, and later he joined another intelligence group and became a member of another mercenary group, but they didn't know that he was an intelligence officer of the Ministry of Military Intelligence until they arrived at the island together. Shangcai met, and then got to know each other through some actions, joined the ranks of intelligence agents in another mercenary regiment, and was later incorporated by Wu Kejing.

However, because of a series of battles, there are only five people left around, and there are still a few people who have to watch Li Ya and them from where Li Ya is. It takes one and a half months to sail the sea thousands of nautical miles away on the fastest boat in Europe. If it is their small boat, it can reach a speed of six knots at the fastest, and it may reach ten to twelve knots when the wind is down. It can't be so fast. When it reaches nine knots, the hull can't bear it anymore. The main mast is broken, and the canvas is flying in the air. If it falls, it will capsize the whole ship.

After finding this intelligence agent, the manpower has increased by one. This is something Wu Kejing and Zhao Shuai are very happy about. In a place thousands of miles away from China, the more people there are, the higher the chance of survival, especially the intelligence personnel like them. .

In the next few days, intelligence personnel were continuously found, and the team grew to more than 30 people, including four people led by Zhao Shuai.

At this time, they were already staying in a port city in Turkey. Up to now, it can be said that a capable intelligence operation team has been completed, and Wu Kejing and others are the main ones, because these are all members of the military intelligence team on Wu Kejing's line. The person in charge is Wu Kejing.

Zhao Shuai has never spoken, or decided on anything, and has been following Wu Kejing's actions until today.

Wu Kejing talked to the gathered people, and then introduced Zhao Shuai. In fact, he did not need to introduce him. These days, everyone knew his existence and identity. Fortunately, after all, it is the upper-level department. Although the department that manages them is not specialized, they always supervise and manage, but they represent the emperor.

The emperor of the Chinese Empire is the largest.

The cabinet is second, the cabinet prime minister is third, and then the governors, prefects, and prefects. As for the Privy Council, the Guards, the Guards, and the Field Army, they only serve these departments and people.

Because the garrison only manages the key places and key positions in the core area, its status cannot be compared with that of the garrison. The army has become a hidden force as a foil. The direct system of the Huaxia Empire is the three armies of the garrison, the field army and the guard army. The cavalry army has been dismantled and incorporated into the garrison army, the field army and the guard army. Some places and some high-level institutions, such as the Army Group and the General Command of the Cavalry Army, are hung under the Privy Council and dispatched by the Privy Council at ordinary times.

The Privy Council controls the cavalry army and the garrison army, the emperor holds the guard army and the field army in his hands, and the prince controls the garrison armies in various places. Only when the title of emperor is given to him can it be fully handed over to him.

A lot of resources in the first thousand and 180 chapters

The manpower is gathered, but it is not the manpower that the mercenary group needs. It is just that Wu Kejing needs to strengthen his own strength. The next question is where to get a large number of people for the mercenary group.There are also a lot of supplies, weapons and equipment, and even ships.

The small-tonnage merchant ship they landed at the beginning was sold to a Romanian merchant at a low price, and they obtained local gold coins and some Huaxia coins circulating in the local area, which were used by Wu Kejing and the others to travel around.

Now after almost a month of running around, the cost is almost the same. If they only have these people now, there is no need to worry, but if they want to find people, supplies, weapons and equipment for the mercenary group, it will cost a lot of money. If they are The pure Li Ya and the others have to figure out their own way. Now that they have the identity of the intelligence personnel of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, they can report the news and then apply for funding. Similarly, since Zhao Shuai joined in, and actually Leading them can also apply for funding from the Military Intelligence Department.

The two of them are already working on this matter. Today is the time when the superior will send someone to discuss funding with them. At the same time, a large number of personnel will come here. This is because Wu Kejing asked a few intelligence agents around him to run away. While looking for people, while contacting those Chinese people who were exiled from other mercenary groups in Russia, at the same time, they proposed to several mercenary groups to leave Russia and transfer to their islands overseas.

This is another Russian mercenary group, the great escape of the homeless Chinese Empire.

Judging from the results of the feedback, at least three mercenary regiments accepted their request and began to organize manpower escape. One is the garrison regiment of the newly dispatched mercenary regiment from Romania, one is from Hungary, and the other is from Moldova, which is Russia. This is the place Wu Kejing can think of to gather the population in the place where he has competed with Turkey several times.

The other thing is that previously he gathered the lost exiles along the way, but now Wu Kejing is going to send out the people gathered around him, and ask them to gather people to look for those wanderers, the lost exiles.

This is not a matter of a while, and it is not limited to the places Russia is now conquering, and it may also be nearby European countries.

The dispatch of more than [-] people can cover a lot of areas and gather a lot of people. It is possible that these people will break up halfway, or they may not have confidence in them and run away halfway, but as long as half of them can bring people back , Wu Kejing believes that at least thousands of exiles will be brought to the island, so that the mercenary group will increase in size and strength, and then the mercenary group will not only defend, but start to attack Now, it is not a matter to completely seize that small island.

Of course, on the way, some people from other countries may be brought back, but this is nothing. In the early stage or even in the middle stage, these people are the source of strength. The more the better, the mercenary regiment is not a purely Han Chinese empire. group, collective.

They don't need to be too pure, gathering more strength to develop is the big thing to be solved at the moment, that is, survival is the first goal.

Wu Kejing discussed this issue with Zhao Shuai, Zhao Shuai agreed with him, and said that he would look for people, and Zhao Shuai would look for some resources, such as supplies, weapons, ships, ports, and intelligence after the establishment Passing the channel, everyone gathers and rests at the port first. This port is a very remote small port in Turkey, and Turks generally do not notice this place, and with the power and strength of the Chinese Empire in Turkey, as well as with Turkey Judging from the current situation of good relations, this can be easily done. After all, compared with Russia, Turkey is relatively stable in this direction. As long as Turkey does not obstruct, a large number of weapons and equipment can be used by the Chinese Empire to help Turkey build a steady stream of railways. Keep shipping here.

The two decided on the direction, broke up immediately, and took the manpower to do it. After half a month, they met again at the port. 30 people came back and 18 people. Through their own understanding, three groups of people were killed in the war in the area conquered by Russia. There were two groups of people capsized in the sea, and one group was detained by Spain. As for rescue, Wu Kejing never thought about it and could only rely on themselves.

Now Wu Kejing and the others have not yet reached the point where they can rescue these people. Suddenly, many people gathered at the port of the town. People in ragged clothes walked along the road, and some people came running along the road on horses.

The more and more people gathered, the final count was 800 people, among whom the race was mixed. Although most of them were Chinese, their skin colors were different. Those who immigrated were Wuyue Han people, some were exiled from East Siberia, mainly the northern Han people, some were black-skinned Africans brought by the separated exiled Han mercenaries, some were It is the disgraced Russian nobleman who arrives with the fleeing mercenaries, hoping to join them.

A few days later, another wave of people arrived. They were members of the three previously known mercenary regiments, with a strength of 200 and a lot of weapons and equipment, although most of them were broken guns without bullets, or swords and spears. Outdated matchlock guns, and a few mortars, this kind of small artillery made by the Chinese Empire is easy to move with small troops. Compared with the previous Portuguese tiger squatting artillery, that is, the three-pounder artillery, it is lighter, stronger, and more convenient. too much.

Compared with the lost people and the new exiles gathered by the intelligence personnel who arrived earlier with few weapons, this group of people was very powerful after they came, and soon became part of Wu Kejing's headache.

It once caused tension on the Turkish side. At this moment, Turkey is already the Ottoman Turkish Empire. There are many ethnic groups and local forces are very powerful. They are disgusted by the sudden appearance of a powerful force with a large number of people and poor weapons and equipment. They immediately mobilized A lot of troops, thousands of troops were ready to encircle and suppress, but it was Wu Kejing who hurriedly used a small amount of money for public relations, and sacrificed his identity as an officer of the Chinese Empire to threaten vigorously, so the local Ottoman Turkish forces died down, but they did not want these people Staying here for a long time, I hope Wu Kejing will take them away as soon as possible.

Wu Kejing promised to take them away in half a month.

Because of the strength of the Chinese Empire and the strength of the Turkish Empire, the sultans here cannot move, but their troops are still stationed around. When Zhao Shuai returns, the Turkish army here has reached more than 1 troops. Cannon, cavalry, and even fortifications were repaired, surrounding the port and town.

Protests from the Turkish empire have been repeated, each time higher than the last.

Accompanied by the roar of steam engine ships, Zhao Shuai and the others finally came back, two [-]-ton Chinese Empire old experimental steam engine warships, two [-]-ton steam merchant ships, one thousand exiles, and five hundred elite military personnel Wu Kejing and some other leaders of the mercenary regiment were stunned to see the manpower of the military action team and countless supplies and equipment.

Even the nearby Ottoman Turkish Sultan Army was dumbfounded. The artillery on the two warships was beyond their ability to provoke.

So more than 3000 people boarded the ship and evacuated within three days.

Sitting on the boat, Zhao Shuai said to Wu Kejing: "It seems that we will not be able to gather manpower in such a big way in the future. We can only find and support them from other places in batches."

The first thousand and 180 second chapters, the new and old hatred orders are the most important

When they left, the happiest thing was Ottoman Turkey. Ottoman Turkey really didn't want to conflict with the Chinese Empire. As Russia's enemy, it was also a country that the Chinese Empire had good relations with. They knew the strength of the Chinese Empire, and they couldn't afford it. Yes, let’s not talk about territory and population, but about economic strength and military strength. Even if the Chinese Empire doesn’t mobilize all of them, it only needs to mobilize some Central Asian troops, and they can fight like Russia. If it is not for geographical advantages , They have long been wiped out by Russia.

And Russia has suffered from the losses of the Chinese Empire, and even the defeat of the Chinese Empire, the Qing Dynasty, even though the Qing Dynasty only has a population of more than 600 million, distributed in the mountainous area, rugged mountain roads and a few scattered on the desolate large tracts of land. Personal population, but once there is friction with Russia, the Qing Dynasty may not be able to fight out, but every time Russia attacks the troops that come in, all the troops that come in are eaten by the Qing Dynasty, and Russia throws away its armor and armor every time.

The Qing Dynasty is developing well now, and now there are hundreds of billions of debts left that have not been repaid to the Chinese Empire. The previous hundreds of trillions of Chinese Yuan debts once made the Qing Dynasty almost another governor-general of the Chinese Empire. Economically , the distribution of officials, and even the procurement of the imperial palace are under the control of the Chinese Empire. The officials and people of the Qing Dynasty can only be passively colonized. What they are free is their personal body, and the wealth they have is their small savings. Now, the Great Qing Dynasty After the Qing Dynasty was exploited by the Huaxia Empire for more than ten years, the Huaxia Empire helped the Qing Dynasty develop roads, railways, trains, horse-drawn carriages, telegraphs, cities and the city’s horse-drawn train and bus system, and developed forest resources, medicinal materials, and mineral resources. A lot of talent.

Now Zhang Qiang knows why the Mexicans are crying and shouting for the United States to lead them and want to merge with the United States. The current situation in the Qing Dynasty is like this. With a rich and powerful neighbor behind them, who would not want to live better? Now Many people in the Qing Dynasty hope that the Qing Dynasty will be merged into the Chinese Empire from the perspective of interests.

Although Kangxi didn't want the people to initiate such ideas, he massacred many people, so that the population of the Qing Dynasty not only did not increase in the past few years, but also regressed, and it still remained on the basis of more than 600 million people.

However, although these 600 million people live under such fear, their lives are really incomparable to those of Turkey and Russia, because most of them are wealthy people, and there are many children of the Eight Banners who carry cages and birds. Provide them with a lot of convenience and rewards every year. The land is sparsely populated, with a lot of land, a lot of forest resources, and a small population, so that everyone can share a lot of rich resources at least, which is more than self-struggle. Compared with the Russian serfs, the life of the Qing Dynasty is simply heaven. Compared with the large land and large population of the Chinese people, they are also very rich, but these rich people feel that they are big The Qing Dynasty is not strong enough, and the opportunities are still not enough. They all want to join the Huaxia Empire.

Even so, compared to Russia's natural fighting nation, Turkey is still not interested in the Chinese Empire. It is superficially docile, but deep down it still wants to fight over, tidy up the Qing Dynasty, retake the Ural defense line, and retake Siberia. They think it was the Chinese who robbed Leaving their land is their inherent territory, so although the Chinese Empire's control over Russia is actually relatively strong, Russia still kills the spies of the Chinese Empire as they should, without mercy, and occasionally offends and provokes border officials The soldiers and horses of the Huaxia Empire, on the surface, are still friendly with the Huaxia Empire, and they are friendly.

Turkey, the control of the Huaxia Empire is not so strict. Although they also owe foreign debts to the Huaxia Empire and have not repaid much, the Huaxia Empire did not dare to owe them much foreign debt. After they owed tens of billions, they slowly They began to recover their costs, and no longer gave them free loans. Over the past ten years, they still have hundreds of trillions in arrears that have not been recovered, but they still import a lot of goods and goods from the Chinese Empire every year, and buy a lot of weapons and equipment. Cannon, ammunition.

To maintain their suppression and rebellion activities against a large number of Sudanese tribes and various ethnic and tribal areas in the country, at the same time, one or two small-scale battles with Russia, or a large-scale short-term In this battle, Turkey has to enter the Middle East and fight those nomads in the desert, the Arabian Persians.

This means that Turkey really doesn't want to mess with the Chinese Empire now. They are very cautious about everything that sticks to the official Chinese Empire. Otherwise, if they gather so many troops, one spark can kill Zhao Shuai and Wu Kejing. The nondescript manpower, the Huaxia Empire did not make any comments in the face of their inquiries, and remained silent. What does this prove? These people are people that the Huaxia Empire wants to eliminate or do not want to see, or some similar Russian adventures of the Huaxia Empire , Spanish, English, and Dutch privateers.

You can deny them on the surface, but you can't do anything to them, because even though the Huaxia Empire is dumb on the surface and doesn't say anything, once they are eliminated, revenge will follow, facing natural enemies Russia, a powerful enemy, has enemies in the Middle East that they want to destroy and occupy. Turkey really dare not provoke the Chinese Empire.

Seeing those people fleeing across the sea, the Turkish Sultan's army all sweated and breathed a sigh of relief. This is the deterrent force of a big country.

A few days after Zhao Shuai and the others left, a team of 300 people came to the town again, but at this time the troops outside the town had already withdrawn. Although the team of 300 people had some troubles, they were able to find them quickly. A Turkish merchant ship that went out to sea, and then took this ship to the small island of the mercenary group.

In Spain, Wen Ruxin and the others did not live very well, but after they accepted some people, the team grew to a thousand people, and the strength reached the strength of a mercenary regiment. They owned five medium-sized sailing ships and engaged in some The sea piracy business and the black work business hired by the Spanish nobles have tempered the team and made many enemies. When the intelligence agents of the Military Intelligence Department came back to report their news, they knew Li Ya’s whereabouts, and then the Military Intelligence Department Inform them to gather at sea immediately to meet them and follow Li Ya's command.

Although Wen Ruxin and a group of old people did not want to accept Li Ya's command and had a lot of hatred in their hearts, they still had to obey the order of the Ministry of Military Intelligence and prepare to set off. They auctioned off all their assets in Spain, and then bought I bought some weapons and ammunition, supplies, food, and bought a steam engine sample sailboat from Russia.

Only 780 tons, with iron skin and iron frame, equipped with old-fashioned solid bullet artillery, and equipped with ramming horns, this is the main battleship of the Chinese Empire 30 years ago at the end of the last century. Later, it returned to the Chinese Empire in Britain and Spain, and Spain bought China. When the old ships of the empire were pulled out of the imperial warship cemetery of the Chinese Imperial Navy Guard, they were repaired by the imperial civilian shipyard and sold to Spanish merchants. Later, the Spanish merchants sold them to Russian Han merchants for modification. The ship, however unlucky for the merchant, was robbed at sea, allowing them to buy the ship from pirates.

The first thousand and 180 chapters three limited attack

After half a year, Wu Kejing and the others finally gathered their manpower and rushed back with new leaders. Here, Li Ya and the others went through two months of careful defense, speeding up the restoration of the camps and fortifications destroyed by the war, and building It is not a small city. Although the city is still a simple city built of wood, earth and cement, it has all internal organs and the safety has been greatly improved.

At the same time, many forts were built, and many lost artillery and weapons were repaired. At the same time, the captured French artillery and guns were rationally used to re-arm themselves, and more were built with the flesh and blood of captured Indians, Iliads, and French. The fortifications, as well as seawalls, shore artillery forts, water villages, and fortresses, and harvested a season of crops, supplemented some food and catches, built several small sailboats, and restored half of the steam engine ships.
