Lord of Ming Dynasty

We are still trying to build a larger merchant ship, or called an armed merchant ship. Now we are experimenting with a [-]-ton ship. Two ship samples have come out. They will be ready for sea trials soon, and then equipped with weapons, slaves, and sailors and gunners. , the captain and the crew, our water power will increase, and if the British come to retaliate in the future, we will at least have the power to fight.

Usually these ships can come and play at the ten piers for supply and fishing in local strongholds.It can also be used as a scout ship. "

Tang Yaweng ran over on his horse, jumped off the horse, handed the horse to the five guards around him, and walked up to the two of them, "Wen Ruxin came over just now, and he proposed to me to lend us a thousand troops. He said that as long as Britain and France He was taken prisoner, and he wanted to attack the Avalan Peninsula to the west of us.

I was very surprised when I heard that. Through interrogating the prisoners, we knew that the island was five times or even seven times the size of ours. With such a small number of people, even if we gave him another thousand prisoners, he would not be able to capture the Avalan Peninsula.

It is said that there is still a French stronghold of 1000 people, 2000 French soldiers, [-] sailors, two [-]-ton sail warships, and [-] immigrants. This is only a French stronghold, and there are nearly [-] Although the British are not necessarily all soldiers, [-] people can be drawn from the militia alone. "

Li Ya rubbed his chin and thought about it. Although the Avalan Peninsula is big, if there are not many cavalry and artillery, and there are not many local indigenous tribal warriors, only six hundred Wenru new soldiers and horses, plus one Thousands of captives, those captives were all French and British militiamen, and some were Newfoundlanders. They were so close to the British that they were almost half British. Influenced by the British, their civilization was quite high. , and his physical strength is definitely a good source of soldiers. If Wen Ruxin can subdue these people, it will really make him even more powerful.

Wen Ruxin likes to deal with people from other countries, and asking them to work for him is very tricky.

I have nearly 9000 foreigners here, and giving him more than 1000 people can reduce the burden of more than 1000 people, but the danger is that Wen Ruxin and I have not dealt with each other. If he goes out to stand on his own and conquer the Avalan Peninsula, the future Will it backfire on yourself? You must know that these civil servants dare to do anything.

Forget it, the future is for the future, anyway, now Wen Ruxin rushing to the front is exactly the result I want, with less than 1000 people's supplies, I can also reduce some supplies.

There are enough men left to guard the peninsula.

But you can't give them so many people for nothing, yes, you can exchange them with a steam engine ship.

When they took down the French stronghold, Wen Ruxin and the others occupied a lot of good things because they went there quickly, including French cannons, French guns and ammunition, supplies, and two steamships. , plus the possibility that they may return, Wen Ruxin and the others will have four steam engine ships, which are almost the same as their own side, and they cannot be allowed to grow stronger than themselves, at least two steam engine ships.

After telling Tang Yaweng his thoughts, a few days later, Tang Yaweng came back after negotiating, "Boss, we have taken over the remaining part of the French town, as well as the neighboring town, as well as Wen Ruxin's two steamships. , one is what they captured, and the other is that their old broken steam engine destroyed the ship, they really know how to calculate, they!"

"Let them go. Without two steamships, they will only have one new French steamship. We will sell them two thousand-ton sailboats. Now that their strength has increased, we don't have to argue with them." Unhappy, the fight between the two families has made the British and French cheaper in vain. What we give them is just those stubborn French and British, as well as incapacitated French immigrants, British immigrants, throwing the burden on them, let If they take these old and weak women and children to attack the British territory, it can also reduce our burden. At least we don’t have to shout to see them in the adjacent peninsula, out of sight and out of mind.”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then they were about to go out for a walk, when Sa Lei walked in, "Boss, our ship is back, and Wu Kejing is back."

Li Ya couldn't help cheering, "Hurry up, go meet them and see how many people, soldiers, supplies, and equipment they bring back for us. It's up to them to gain a firm foothold here in the future."

"Notify the other officers in the city to gather, and we will meet them together." Li Ya ordered the guards around him.

This is the time for him to show that his decision is correct, he will not let go of this opportunity, and if a large number of people arrive, their situation will be reversed.

The first thousand and 210 chapters of the shipping team from the hometown

When Li Ya and the others came to the port, they saw that the port was densely packed with ships, including steam engines and sailing ships, and there were quite a few large-tonnage ships. There were at least 20 ships above [-] tons, and more than [-] ships below [-] tons. , there are almost fifty ships, this is simply the arrival of the shipping team from my hometown.

One ship in the fleet, one ship docked, using three deep-water piers in the port, and more than a dozen trestles extending for more than a mile. The people on the ship came down one by one, and then gathered together, Under the guidance of the Han Chinese team of the mercenary regiment, the people who led the team entered the urgently assigned station in the city.

Since the city defeated the French and the British and occupied the entire peninsula, the two huge tribes stationed in the city, the Indian tribe and the Iliad tribe, have moved out and returned to their original tribes. Form several small tribes and start living outside.

In addition to the Indian tribes and Iliad tribes, there are Inuit captive tribes and Newfoundland villages outside, but these captive tribes have people stationed in the villages and tribes, and there are cavalry squads patrolling and wandering outside, as well as pirates. Squad patrols on foot.

In addition to these tribes and villages, there are British and French immigrant villages. They are also captured, but compared with the tribesmen, they are guarded more strictly. They are not allowed to approach the strongholds of ports and docks. Staying in Lu Village, he either farmed the land, went to the mining field, or repaired the road with the supervisor team. A road leading to the other end of the peninsula and running through the entire peninsula was built, paved with cinders and gravel, and covered with a layer of soil. Cement is not very hard, but it is not bad for ordinary vehicles and people, and cavalry on horseback.

Nearly 8000 men and soldiers were stationed in various places, and now there are not even 600 people in the city.

So there are enough places for the manpower to be stationed.

The combat troops on the ship were directly stationed in the northeast camp where Wen Ruxin and the others were stationed, and there was no problem with stationing 2000 people in that camp.

The other recruited sailors on the ship were stationed directly in the open space next to the water village. There was no camp where the Iliads had been stationed. It was a bit crude, but it was suitable for them to be stationed, so that they could be selected to join the sailor team in the future.

A large number of food equipment and materials were directly transported to the original camp prisoner barracks, where 2000 people can be stationed, and there are a large number of warehouses in the camp, which can store a lot of things.

Craftsmen and other personnel who are not suitable for fighting are allocated to various camps outside the camp. The place is like a slum, which is suitable for these people to live in. It is better than sleeping in the open sky.

Loading and unloading the cargo on the ship, the people on the ship plus the people in the camp were busy for three days.

Three days later, Li Yacai met Wu Kejing and the others.

"Boss, I'm back. It's been more than half a year, and I finally see you again." At this time, Wu Kejing was a little fat, but he was a little haggard, because he returned at least four months late, and now he is leaving the island The eighth month of the month is at the end.

Originally, under the leadership of Zhao Shuai, they had set sail with more than a dozen ships. Unexpectedly, the strong wind blew them to the coast of Africa. After repairing the ships in Africa, they caught the local natives by surprise and laid down a large area of ​​land. It was useless. At this time, they could only send people back to Turkey to send a letter to the country. It was not until two months ago that the country mobilized more manpower and ships from Turkey to meet them, and they started again.

This time they brought a mercenary group in Turkey, 2000 people, and 2000 indigenous people of various races in Africa died in battle. They also wiped out several Mediterranean pirate ships on the way, captured about a thousand pirates, and encountered Wen Ruxin, who went to Spain to recruit troops, happened to be led by members of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, so they learned the situation on the island, cleaned out Wen Ruxin's troops, and replaced them with those who were loyal to the country. The intelligence personnel directly annexed Wen Ruxin's team.

There are 800 people here. They originally had 3000 people. The storm lost half of them, and the battle lost hundreds of people. In the end, there were more than 1000 people left. Later, the domestic reinforcements made them even more powerful, and they were all retired. The soldiers of the domestic garrison, as well as the officers of the garrison, were not exiled, but mobilized by the Ministry of Military Intelligence.

In this way, there were more than 7000 people and horses. Later, on the road, I ran into a small supply fleet of the lost four princes. There were also more than 1000 people and more than 600 horses. There are nearly 800 common people, including 2000 Han Chinese, 800 African warriors from various tribes, 700 Central Asians from Turkey and Iran, 500 Europeans from Spain, and Southeast Asia and India along the road, the population of other places is [-], and the population exceeds [-].

After these people came here, the population of the mercenary group directly reached 8000 people, and their combat power doubled.

Although there are 2000 captives here, the British, the French, their immigrants, as well as the soldiers and officers of the two countries, as well as the Inuit and Newfoundland tribal fighters they brought; and those mercenary regiments They have now grown to seven or eight tribes, with a population of nearly 4000 people, including more than 800 warrior families, a direct population of more than 200 mercenary regiments, and more than 300 soldiers and officers.

Not counting the more than 2000 captives who were originally captured, after a battle and nearly half a year of hard labor, 400 of these people died, some of them could not stand the torture, and finally surrendered, and then joined the supervisory brigade, which became a mercenary group The first brigade-level establishment has more than 1000 people.

This digested nearly 600 people, and another 200 people were added to the Iliad small tribe to strengthen the strength of the allies. This is the first tribe to surrender. Of course, we must take care of them and let them work for the mercenary group.

Because they lost a lot when chasing and killing the French and British. Nearly a thousand active people, old and young, went into battle together, and the casualties reached 400. After replenishing the 200 people, they will not expand, but It can also make up for their losses and wounded hearts.

As for the Indians, it is the greatest favor to them to let them join the overseer brigade, and they are the tribes that finally surrendered, and they were transformed by captives, so they only have to be wiped out, not supplemented, so they are very disciplined Well, half of the staff in the supervisory brigade are their people, and they are also monitoring their tribe.

Of course, it’s not not to give preferential treatment, let them monitor the Inuit captives, because the Inuit are the most tenacious, and the Indians also have a deep hatred with them. It is best for them to suppress the Inuit, and they can slowly torture and For revenge, the Indians were grateful to them instead.

The Inuit are also gradually decreasing, from the strongest 800 people, to now there are only 400 people in their village, and 400 people were assigned to other strongholds to work as coolies, as slaves, and scattered them, less than one of the 400 people They lost 100 people in just one month, and dozens of people were tortured to death by the Indians, and they were still working in the hardest mining fields. If the Inuit did not change, they would be wiped out.

Compared with the Inuit, the Newfoundlanders are much more self-conscious and submissive. They can do whatever they are asked to do, never complain, and have a higher degree of civilization. They can copy, count, sort and organize data in some mines, and there are priests They can pray to their people, appease people, ride horses, raise horses, and repair firearms. Half of the technical work of the mercenary regiment is undertaken by them.

So until now, few Newfoundlanders have died. Except for a few stubborn Newfoundland officers and those who worshiped the British and insisted on being executed, they kept nearly 900 people unchanged, and even a few Individuals were also assigned to the supervisory brigade to cooperate with various teams to occupy strongholds, and some were assigned to serve as sailors on ships.

It can be said that the Newfoundlanders are the best source of soldiers and skilled workers.

Of course, some Newfoundlanders are also hateful. They are passive and sabotage, and hate and resist the Chinese people. Opened their custody.

After Wu Kejing came back, Li Ya was very happy, but the person he brought back made Li Ya unhappy, because this person represented the Military Intelligence Department, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Huaxia Empire to contact him.

His name is Zhao Shuai. He has also come into contact with Zhao Shuai in the guards. He knows that this person is a third generation of the empire. Zhao Shuai has nothing to do with him. He is a qualified Guards soldier. He was not in the same class as him when he was in the military academy, but he was in the first class. Later, he served in many places. Zhao Shuai joined the Guards and served as a platoon leader, and then he also left the Guards. Army, I don't know where he went.

When he graduated from the Naval Academy, served as a third officer on a [-]-ton battleship for a year, returned to the military academy, and then returned to the Imperial Guards, he was promoted to the commander of the lieutenant colonel, and Zhao Shuai returned to him. He served as his aide-de-camp under the command of Zhao Shuai, but he didn't stay in the Guards for long, and was destroyed by Zhao Shuai's friend, a third generation of the empire, and then took a idle position in the Garrison. Zhao Shuai went to the cavalry army to serve as the supervisor of the military intelligence department. The two continued to cooperate. The relationship was neither salty nor bad. Colleague relationship.

The two people don't know why they don't have a cold for each other.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the Guards and served as a colonel for less than a month, the three generations of the empire who followed him like a shadow turned out to be his superior again and framed him, which made him despair of the empire.

And two years later, he fled here with his people, and it was more than a year, and he met Zhao Shuai again here. This... He realized that it was bad luck, he found the place where Zhao Shuai came, that The three generations of the empire will definitely come, so in his heart he does not want Zhao Shuai to appear in his mercenary regiment.

The first thousand and 210 chapters and three reminiscences

Although he didn't reject Zhao Shuai, but Zhao Shuai brought nearly ten thousand people here this time. Li Ya knew that his disobedience would end badly, but the good news is that he finally regained his status as a soldier of the Chinese Empire, and he was a Chinese again. up.

This is a very touching thing. Many exiles, most of them are very excited.

However, there are some people watching with cold eyes. Sarai and the others are this group of people. Living in Central Asia, they rarely feel the glory and history of the empire in the core area, as well as their feelings for the empire. If his old father came, it is possible, because he is old. My father went from the core area to Eastern Siberia, then from Eastern Siberia to Central Siberia, and then transferred to Central Asia, when he was only a few years old.
