Lord of Ming Dynasty

Although there were still people fleeing back, the French commander, Le Mans Jean, didn’t care. He quickly asked his subordinates to pack up and prepare to retreat. When they were ready to retreat, more than 100 people retreated, half of them were wounded, and their equipment was almost lost. clean.
As soon as the French left the camp, they saw the cavalry of the mercenary regiment attacking them, and immediately fought back, retreating while fighting, and did not walk a few hundred meters, and suddenly killed the cavalry of the Iliad tribe from the side. They scattered, those with horses rode away on horses, those without horses dropped their weapons and ran away. They ran in front, and the cavalry chased after them. After a while, many Indians suddenly appeared in front of them, rushing into the fleeing team Fight them inside.
The same is true for the British, but there are more people fleeing from them, and there are also many people stationed there. They resisted on the spot for a while, and at this moment, the Iliads suddenly appeared, and thousands of tribal fighters felt overwhelming. When they came, the British turned pale with fright in the camp.
Although there are many people, many guns, and good command, everyone put their lives to death and killed many Iliad tribal fighters, but they still couldn't resist the tide of people, and there were Indians rushing behind them, and the British fell into a solitary situation. In such a situation, the defense line was continuously breached. Many British people were nailed to the ground by spears and javelins. The tragic situation made the British almost collapse.
However, they still made up their minds to lead the team to retreat while fighting, leaving the camp and retreating with the wounded.
In the vast hills, fields, and woods, thousands of tribal fighters hunted down the British and French.
The British and French in twos and threes threw away their helmets and armor, and fled with all their strength. The Indians and Iliads who were more familiar with the terrain struggled to catch up, and from time to time overtook them to intercept them. The British and French One by one was brutally killed, their heads were cut off, and they were hung around their waists. Some were overtaken by mercenary cavalry. The containment troops were contained, and the cavalry continued to charge forward.
Behind them, more than 2000 prisoners were escorted to the front line. Under the supervision of the attacking squadron, they began to clean the battlefield. While they were cleaning the battlefield, Sweeping Thunder and another officer led two troops. The captives carried luggage, ammunition and food on their backs, and a team of 300 people headed towards the British stronghold.
Xinxianju Town is almost empty. There is a Han Chinese team in the camp, a Han Chinese team on the city wall, a Han Chinese team on the Shuizhai dock, a sailor team and a team guarding the gun positions on the dock. The artillery squadron has been withdrawn, leaving only a dozen Personally operating the artillery, Sa Lei took the only steamship of the mercenary regiment, a sailor squad, and two armed merchant ships towards the adjacent town.
The adjacent town is already in ruins. On the ruins, Wen Ruxin looked proudly at the British captives in custody, hundreds of British wounded placed in the open space, and the weapons and ammunition left by the British here. ,food.
About 100 seriously wounded captured sailors were rescued, and more than [-] other seriously wounded were rescued, as well as [-] Spanish and Russian, Romanian and Han Chinese officers who were imprisoned.
With these seeds, when his other ship brings people back, his troops will soon recover more than 1000 troops. After a little reorganization, he can have at least half of the previous combat power. After repairing this steamship, his entire team He can recover [-]% of his fighting power, and if he brings more people over in the future, he will definitely be able to surpass Li Ya and the others.
Since the attack on Bi Neighboring Town was a sneak attack at night, the manpower loss he brought was not large, only half of the team died, and one and a half teams were injured, and few teams were seriously injured, that is to say, six teams, more than 400 people , there are at least 300 people who have combat effectiveness now.
He glanced at the French town more than a dozen miles away. The French dispatched so many troops to attack Xinxianju Town, so there must not be many guards there. Shall we sneak attack?
The enemy's small town immigrants have sent militia teams twice. The first time at least 200 people were lost here, and the second time I heard that there were more than 300 people. How many people are there in the small town, at most less than 4000 people, that is to say At least one out of ten people they sent to fight, leaving out women, children, and the elderly, they must send at least three out of ten people to participate in the battle. Maybe there are not many young and middle-aged guards in the town, and it is estimated that there are less than 100 people.
There are more than 300 people on my side, plus the rescued people, that is more than 400 people, and the slightly wounded can also participate in the battle, that is, more than 400 people, leaving some lightly wounded guards, I can lead at least 400 people to attack .
Fighting one by four may not be able to attack the French castle, but it is okay to go in and rob it. If you want to develop yourself in the future, you can't rely on Li Ya and the others for supplies. They rob some French cattle, sheep, horses, and supplies. The French go hungry this winter.
As soon as he said it, Wen Ruxin immediately summoned people to discuss, and then hurriedly set off with 390 people, but it was only a dozen miles away, and he arrived in less than half an hour.
Along the way, they defeated several enemy cavalry and captured some fleeing British, only to realize that the French and the British were defeated.
The defeat was miserable, and I was very happy. I immediately surrounded the French town, and then launched an attack. The tranquility of the French town was once again broken. , Snatch everything you see, shoot dead when you see someone resisting, knock down when you see someone resisting, and capture anyone who is young and strong.
The first thousand and 210 chapters victory is a heart disease
A month later, Li Ya and Sa Lei were bored walking along the docks of the water village. At this time, the docks and docks were basically repaired, and the construction was basically completed. Except for some places that needed to be dredged and silt excavated, there was nothing to improve. that's it.
On both sides of the more than a dozen trestle bridges extending into the sea, more than a dozen warships of different sizes and over a thousand tons are docked.
This is a ship captured by the French, but the mercenary regiment does not have so many sailors, so many of them are moored beside the pier.
"French, we caught a lot of them, we can't keep them all in the camp, let them do those hard work, it's really useless to support them, I heard that many of them know a lot of things, ship repair, stonemason, carpenter, They can also build carriages, repair firearms, maintain artillery, divide these people up, don’t some people know how to grow grapes and make wine?”
"Others are bakers, blacksmiths, masters of smelting, others can forge armor, others speak more dialects, Iliads can raise horses, Indians know many trails, and Indians are easy to reform, The Inuit are in trouble, they have their stubborn religious beliefs, and they worship the British very much.
"If they don't surrender, let them go to God, well, I say those who are stubborn, trying to make trouble for us, and the rest let them do hard work, winter is coming, let them chop more firewood for us , dig more coal, we need a lot of firewood and coal, and our house should be remodeled, try to paste some mud on the outside of the wooden wall, add some soil cement, so that the cold wind will not enter the house, the way to renovate the kang If it’s feasible, let’s quickly transform it…”
The two walked while talking. In fact, Li Ya shouldn't tell Sa Lei about this matter, but Tang Yaweng. Tang Yaweng is in charge of the camp's logistics, construction, transformation, guarding the prisoners, and driving the prisoners to work.
It's just that Li Ya is used to it, so he couldn't help muttering a few words. Sa Lei also listened. He was actually thinking about how to transform the three steamships captured by the French. The French steamships were actually only over 1000 tons, and the French paid more attention to it. The most important is a sailing warship, so there is also a sailing warship of about [-] tons, five or six sailing warships of about [-] tons, a dozen armed merchant ships of less than [-] tons, and more than [-] passing French merchant ships. up.
Of course, it was all done when the main force of the camp arrived. Wen Ruxin is still recovering from his injuries, so they raided the French town and captured many of them. As a result, the French in the castle refused to let go. Fired a cannon on the head and opened the city gate at the same time. Four hundred French regular troops came to pursue them. Wen Ruxin and the others fled back to Bilin Town, but the entire army was almost wiped out. Danger of being annihilated once.
The rest of the matter was natural. The army surrounded the town at once, and then set up cannons to bombard the enemy's castle. Five hundred Frenchmen couldn't hold on for a week before they came out and surrendered.
At this time, the mercenary group really occupied the peninsula, with seventeen British and French strongholds, including three British and French towns, plus one town of their own, a total of four towns, and a total of ten ports. A port is occupied by Wen Ruxin and others, and Li Ya sent many people to guard other places.
Seven inland strongholds, each with 15 cavalry, an infantry group of 35, and 100 Indian and Iliad tribesmen and warriors where to garrison, guard, clear land, grow crops, and of course slaves, The captured Inuit, Newfoundlanders, Indians and Iliads who came here with the British and French, as well as some seemingly weak old soldiers and hands, and French immigrants, The British immigrants were all distributed, with fifteen slaves in one stronghold.
Those with strong bodies were selected and sent to quarries, coal yards, lumberyards, brick kilns, cement firing yards, breweries, farms, roads that needed to be opened, and ports that needed to be repaired. These places alone were consumed More than 1000 Newfoundlanders, more than 1000 French immigrants, [-] British, and [-] French.
This time alone, 1000 British people were arrested. Of course, not only the British regular army soldiers, but also the British immigrant militia, and more than [-] British immigrants.
Despite the heavy losses of the French, there are still more than 3000 immigrants, more than 500 surviving immigrant militias, more than 800 surviving soldiers, more than 100 officers, and more than 30 senior officers.
The French are still concentrated in Port St. Lawrence, because no matter how you calculate it, it is not worth the loss to move to other places. Therefore, the largest French stronghold on the peninsula, Port St. Lawrence, is tantamount to being occupied, but the people are still French people.
After some French captives were separated, some became slaves, some were still captives, and the slaves were distributed to seventeen strongholds, with no more than 200 people. The captives gathered to build port walls, town walls, and work for mercenaries.
Some people who were not French or British were selected to join the pirate squad of mercenaries, and the strength of the pirate squad was replenished. Of course, some Iliads, clever Indians, and their own The Russians, Romanians, and Spaniards control and monitor the newcomers.
The pirate squad has expanded to six squads, which is almost equal to Wen Ruxin's homeless squadron. Wen Ruxin also selected some people and re-established the homeless squadron.
Wen Ruxin and the others have ten teams with more than 800 people.
And here we have the pirate squadron with six squadrons; the sailor squadron with six squadrons; the Han Chinese squadron with eight squadrons; the artillery squadron with four squadrons; the cavalry squadron with nine squadrons. Not enough to make up, each cavalry squad actually can't even make up a group, at most there are more than [-] people in the group.
The Supervisory Brigade has [-] teams under its jurisdiction, and each team has three official Han officers. The following are the people who performed well after being captured, who were fearless and brave when they were supervisors. These people are all officers of the Supervisory Team. Below are the newly converted members of the Overseer Team, who previously captured about [-] Iliads and Indians, as well as French, British, and more French, and some of them were the ones who captured Wen Ruxin.
After a year and a half of labor, these captives knew that there was no hope, so they joined the mercenary group and became a member of the overseer brigade, responsible for monitoring new captives.
There are quite a few new captives. There are 4000 French immigrants, [-] regular soldiers, and [-] sailors, which is [-] people. The supervisory brigade mobilized four teams, plus a pirate team and a Han Chinese team. Only then did they control them and completely occupy them. to Port St. Lawrence.
Five supervisory teams were scattered in seventeen strongholds, monitoring the slaves for the people in the strongholds, and guarding some temporarily dispatched prisoners. Two supervisory teams guarded the prisoners who were still being held in Xinxianju Town.
To sum up, this time the British and French captives alone captured 7000 people, plus the original nearly 600 captives, plus Wen Ruxin and the others captured nearly 1 people, and nearly [-] captives.
Nearly 800 British and French soldiers and officers were captured.
The others are immigrants, where the tribal warriors, and later the entire tribe were captured.
In other words, in fact, the mercenary group captured all the aboriginal people in the entire peninsula.
And how many Han Chinese are there on the entire island?
Less than 200 people.
The others were foreigners brought by the mercenary group. Although they joined the mercenary group, they were not loyal to the mercenary group.
The policy of the Chinese Empire towards the natives has affected every former Han people. In fact, they are very afraid now, from the fear of being in a foreign country, and the sudden capture of so many people, and less than ten of them are Han people. One worry.
The first thousand and 210 chapters return with strong support
"Chapter error, click here to report"
The pirate team and supervisor team guarding the captives were all foreigners, most of the sailor team were foreigners, only the majority of the camp were Han Chinese, and most of the people in the city were foreigners. Wen Ruxin is fine, so now there are at least 2000 Han Chinese on the peninsula, and there are now 200 Han Chinese, and 200 people are from Wen Ruxin and the others.
"Don't think about that, we can already make rough steam engines now, those French and British craftsmen are still good, their craftsmanship is much better than those craftsmen we brought over, now we can already make our steam engines It has been repaired and used. It is not as good as the original production of the Chinese Empire, but it can already reach [-]% of the power. A steam engine with [-] horsepower can exert a power of about [-] horsepower. In this way, our steam engine warship can at least compare with the original steam engine warship. It is a good thing for us to play [-]% more speed and fighting power." Sa Lei patted Li Ya's shoulder.
"Well, it's a good thing. If we add Wen Ruxin's steam engine warship, we now have five steam engine warships, and a 180-ton French sailing warship, and five thousand-ton warships. [-]-ton sailing warship, eight [-]-ton armed merchant ships, [-] merchant ships, five [-]-ton fishing boats built by ourselves, which are actually armed merchant ships, and two [-]-ton self-built merchant ships. You have a powerful fleet." Li Ya echoed Sa Lei's words and found an excuse for himself.
Sa Lei continued: "Eight 180-ton armed merchant ships, eighteen merchant ships I assigned to the four largest ports to guard the ports, four steam engine ships and five [-]-ton sailing warships, plus two The [-]-ton merchant ships form a fleet of our mercenary regiment. The [-]-ton merchant ships behind are used to transport materials, soldiers, and supplies. They follow the fleet. Five [-]-ton armed merchant ships or fishing boats, every day It can bring back about ten tons of fish for us, enough to meet our fish consumption in Xinxianju Town. It can also store a lot of dried salted fish for our food reserves in winter.
