Lord of Ming Dynasty

Li Ya smoked a cigarette, and said calmly: "I knew a long time ago that the British on that island are so easy to deal with."

Wu Kejing said with some depression: "He is an official of our empire after all, and he is also the leader of the operation team of the Ministry of Military Intelligence. Don't you feel regretful and regretful at all?"

"What do I need to regret? We are abandoned people, life and death are determined by God's will, and this is just a well-deserved death. Maybe one day we will be the same, and we will be wiped out by foreigners and foreigners."

Li Ya was very depressed, and Wu Kejing could understand it. This was because he brought Zhao Shuai and the others, and Li Ya couldn't switch between being an empire and being exiled.

To be honest, he is also very dazed and confused. He doesn't know if they will succeed, or the final outcome of the mercenary group. No, it can't be called the mercenary group now, it should be called exiles, or survivors, or Saying they should have a title that better suits their team or group of people.

"Have you thought about changing the name of our team, or changing our title."

Wu Kejing suddenly asked excitedly.

Li Ya turned around to look at him, and asked in confusion, "What are they called? Exiles? Or hard laborers, or criminals, abandoned people?"

"No, New China, or the New Qin Empire. Didn't we have a very powerful country in history, which unified the world and finally laid the foundation for our Han people, allowing us to become a unified nation and a unified nation from chaos? How about the country?"

"Well, let me think about it... um, not bad, very good, good, we will call it the New Qin Empire from now on."

The first thousand 210 eight chapters dare a small mercenary group to be called an empire?

"Chapter error, click here to report"

Li Ya felt that Wu Kejing's proposal was very correct and insightful. This gave them a home for these exiles. This home was also created by their hard work. He couldn't help but think highly of Wu Kejing. After being diluted a little, he held Wu Kejing's hand very happily and said, "Okay, okay, I thank you on behalf of those who were exiled by the empire, we finally have a home."

Wu Kejing saw that the relationship had eased a little, and immediately said: "Chief, we have no way to go on like this, we have to find a way to ease the relationship on one side first, didn't we capture many British and French soldiers and officers?

We can send people to negotiate, first to stabilize one family, and then we can fight the other family, I think, now that the French have been driven out of the peninsula by us, then we can ease relations with the French, and then some supplies, commodity transactions You can do it with the French.

We can't rely on ourselves, we have to communicate with the outside world, otherwise we won't survive for long, after all, we are small people confined to a corner, a small tribal group equivalent to the indigenous people, but we are stronger, If we are tribal fighters, that’s all. Backward combat effectiveness, backward productivity, no commodity trading, no contact with the outside world.But we are advanced immigrants from the Chinese Empire, we have to catch up with others, we have to get help from the outside, so we must have channels and friends for external communication.

Maybe not called a friend, called a commodity transaction partner. "

Li Ya pondered for a while, then replied slowly: "I also want to communicate with them, but we are already mortal enemies, we are the invaders to be precise, the people who killed them, occupied their fields, robbed them Their wives, children and territory have hurt their dignity, are they willing to communicate with us?"

Wu Kejing smiled and said: "In the face of strength and interests, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. Do you know why the Qing Dynasty lost everything and still please our Chinese Empire so much?

It is because we can destroy them at any time. Why does Russia owe us so much debt? It is arrogant in front of the Westerners, but humble in front of our empire. Let us control so many of their economic lifelines, as well as the procurement of all their weapons Do you still send the wealth they looted from other countries to our empire one by one?It is because although it is impossible for the Huaxia Empire to destroy them all at once, they can definitely inflict serious injuries on them. The Huaxia Empire can afford it, but they cannot afford it. "

Li Ya nodded, "So, now we are a smelly and hard rock that they can't afford to mess with and can't destroy. We can attack their territory at will, but they don't have the strength to kill us. Maybe we have strength, but we have to lose A lot, it's not worth the loss compared to what they get, is that right?"

"Yes, leader, that's what I think, and it's true. We defeated them this time and took the island back. In the future, if we want to gain the friendship of the French, we must return the island to the French. In the future, we can get the island from the French." Open up our own sourcing points, or sell them what we produce, and we get what we want."

Wu Kejing approached Li Ya, and wrote on the table with his hand dipped in tea, "Ore, shipbuilding materials and wood, iron furnaces, craftsmen, horses, the materials on a small island are limited after all, some things we need Go to the nearest country to buy salt. We don’t have salt here. Although we can use the domestic sun-dried salt method to make salt, it takes up labor after all, and the sunshine here is not as abundant as other places. The winter is long, which means that we cannot There will be a severe salt shortage in time.

Relying on the seizure, we can make the former small group not worry about salt, because we can still send sea ships to Turkey to buy it, but the journey is far away, and the risk at sea is too high. Maybe go to ten ships and return seven or eight ships, three or two The ship was lost.

There are nearly 2 people on our island now, and our supplies will be squandered quickly, so we must find a place where we can replenish our living supplies at any time, and this place should not be too far away.France is slightly farther than the UK, but we have an advantage over getting along with the British. The British occupy most of the island. They will not negotiate with us or accommodate us. Therefore, we All that could be done was to make peace with the French. "

"Well, after we take down the two outer islands, we will worry about this matter. The current situation is to win this naval battle with a small loss." Li Ya stood up, and Wu Kejing followed.

"However, we can now vigorously publicize the fact that we have changed our name to the New Qin Empire. First, hold a meeting, and then send people to notify the garrisons and civilians in various places to let them know who we are? No longer exiles, but the New Qin Empire citizens."

After the two discussed it, within a day, all the mercenaries on the entire peninsula knew that they had a country, and they were now the people of the New Qin Empire.

So the whole peninsula resounded with cheers all over the world, and it lasted for a few days. Some Han people even used gunpowder to make firecrackers, and then set them off for a few days, accidentally burning down a warehouse, a small forest, and even a few people dispensed medicine because of the firecrackers It can be said that it is both pain and joy to be injured by the unevenness.

Avalan Peninsula, Port Blanche, British Colonel James is walking around in his long and oversized office in the castle. This office is as long as the classrooms opened by two ordinary schools in later generations, the width is about the same, and the windows are twelve. A British-style floor-to-ceiling window, with a treasure cover on the top of the window, engraved with characters and story pictures in British myths and stories. The window is relatively deep, about 1.5 meters deep, with a huge window frame and huge, somewhat blurred glass. But it is bright and clean by the sunlight coming in from these windows.

All kinds of luxurious European-style decorations, huge desks, bookshelves against the wall, gorgeous fireplaces, and a straight, dazzling red British military uniform. The accessories on the military uniform make the whole person look gorgeous and dignified, rich, if There are no words with two white mustaches on the upper lip.

The few people standing in front of him were all wearing red military uniforms like him, but without ribbons or silk tassels. They all held red British military caps in their arms, stood at attention, looked straight ahead, held their chests up, and listened to his words. Patrol, with the other hand pressing the command knife at his waist.

Near the window there are three people standing, one in a red military uniform with the rank of major, a black captain's hat with a golden accessory of a ship's anchor, and pants different from the others in blue trousers, the other It was a red military jacket that reached to the hips, and the lower body was white trousers.

Wearing a loose British sailor's white shirt, loose linen trousers, and a bruised and swollen face is Wen Ruxin, the leader of the mercenary regiment. He is very embarrassed at the moment. He is not wearing a military uniform, he is dressed similarly to Wen Ruxin, holding a gray cowboy hat with a rolled edge in his hand.

James squinted his old eyes, put his hands behind his back, bent down a little, and asked Wen Ruxin: "You mean, those Chinese people established a country called the New Qin Empire on our territory?"

"Hmph, a place the size of a fingernail, with a little more fart, dares to call the empire, it is looking for death, I want to see if they can last for a few days, Major Hawkins, let your fleet go, help our old man Friends, the French, wipe out the Chinese fleet."

Wen Ruxin continued: "Mr. Colonel, they really can't be called an empire, but they have the help of the Huaxia Empire behind them, don't look at them as a group of exiles, but if you kill them all, the Huaxia Empire will definitely not ignore them. "

"It's so far away, how do they manage it?" Major Thomas, who had been demoted from lieutenant colonel, asked.

Wen Ruxin said: "They can support the population here. The population of the empire is too large. Anyone who commits crimes or is dissatisfied with the empire will be exiled here. They were exiled here in Russia and other places. Millions were wiped out, but the empire is too big. There are millions of people to deal with, with such a large population, they can quickly fill up the island, even the piece of land close to the island is no problem, the population of the Chinese Empire is growing very fast."

Colonel James laughed, "Maybe they have many people, but they are as inferior as those Indians, just like you, our British army can kill as many as they come, the reason why they can defeat those cowardly Frenchmen and Thomas Cowards, it is because the Frenchman and Thomas are too incompetent. Such a group of homeless men with fire sticks and a few dilapidated sailing warships can defeat the heroic British army. It is simply a disgrace to the British soldiers. Surround them with warships and blow them up? Don’t you use those Indians to consume their ammunition? Or don’t you rush up bravely and kill them with your guns, all because of your cowardice.”

Colonel James's words grew louder and louder, and finally almost roared. The group of people couldn't help but tense up when they heard it, and their expressions were focused. They couldn't help being overwhelmed. .

After finally venting his temper, Colonel James looked at Wen Ruxin, "You take your people and follow us to see a good show. We want to see their fleet destroyed, and then I will take the entire Newfoundland British fleet to attack They, let you see how our British artillery destroyed the savages."

Wen Ruxin actually ignored Colonel James' scolding in his heart. He knew that Britain must have lost the neighboring peninsula, so the British side blamed the biggest officer on the island. However, Thomas is not the biggest person on the island. The biggest person is the governor. This is the case in Britain. Each colony is managed by a colonial governor. The governor has his own guards and troops, and also commands the troops sent by the United Kingdom. James is the army sent by the United Kingdom, the largest British officer on the island.

He has now figured out that the British have a lot of troops on the island. This island is just a small island, the largest being Newfoundland. The two islands are connected by a land area that is only one mile long. If the sea tide rises, The land area that is five miles long and one mile wide will be submerged, and then this island will become a real small island, and when the tide recedes, this island will become a peninsula.

There are Newfoundlanders on the island, and there are many Inuit tribes, about 4000 people, but there are also many British immigrants, about 6000 people. On the contrary, there are not many immigrant populations on Newfoundland Island, and some of the population is on the island. There are not many people in the various estuaries, harbors, and inland areas. The inland area is a pasture, a mountain range, and snow-capped peaks.

As a colonial army, they like to live in the port and the towns not far from the port, and generally do not go deep into the inland area. Of course, there are also their towns in the inland area, but they will build one in a place surrounded by indigenous people. Town, that's a real danger, once the natives besiege, they won't even have to run.

In fact, he was not optimistic about the British, but this time he was impulsive and failed. The British were cruel and cut off the heads of more than 500 Han Chinese under him, leaving only some insignificant Indians and Iliads. Spaniards, Russians, and Romanians, other British and French soldiers were killed, some died during the attack, and some escaped.

Many more betrayed and were locked up by the British.

Then Lieutenant Colonel Thomas ran out, brought back a group of officers who escaped, and took those people back, about 500 people, so the British gained more than 500 troops, as well as the French who surrendered and the traitors Some of the French who died were still imprisoned, and some joined the British team. The strength of Thomas' team reached more than 700 people.

This is already a strengthened squadron in the mercenary regiment.

For his own survival, Wen Ruxin betrayed the mercenary group. Anyway, the mercenary group did not get along with him, and the dispatcher followed his confidants back to undercover, sent back information about the mercenary group, and told the British in a fawning manner.

To tell you the truth, he was in a lot of pain, not because he didn't work hard, but because he was too helpless. If he didn't work hard, the moody Colonel James would chop him into mincemeat. This is a ruthless master who participated in the war against France , participated in the conquest of Egypt, participated in the colonization of Africa, and killed more people under his hands than he killed.

A few hours later, they boarded the flagship of the [-]-ton British steamer commanded by Major Hawkins. There were no other steamers of such a large tonnage. Ten sailing warships ranging from [-] to [-] tons.

It can be said that it is mighty, and it is definitely greater than the combined strength of all the warships now that Zhao Shuai and the others have arrived.

About 120 nautical miles away, now it is full of artillery fire, water jets are gushing, and sails are covering the sky. About thirty French sail warships and five French steam engine warships have encountered the New Qin Empire fleet led by Sa Lei. The battle has been going on for two hours. .

Obviously, the ships of the New Qin Empire did not have the upper hand. Perhaps on land, they relied on defense, a large number of cannon fodder, a large number of artillery, and the command of experienced land commanders. The French were caught off guard, but at sea, the naval warfare capabilities of the New Qin Empire still could not compete with the French fleet.

The sailing warship led by Sa Lei, Taizhou took all the sailing warships around and bombarded as many as 23 enemy sailing warships, and the enemy kept approaching and bombarding them. The two families were separated by 200 meters of sea, attacking each other , closer to each other, the closer the accuracy is, the higher the accuracy, and most of the artillery on the sailing warships of the two families are old-style artillery. Some of them are old-style warship artillery used by the retired Chinese Empire.

The French all use French warship artillery, which is much more professional than the New Qin Empire, so the accuracy is relatively high, and the French are professional sailors and gunners. Many people here are wanderers from various countries. Hunters, explorers, and immigrants, as well as captured farmers and factory owners, just because they have a little strength, they can shoot and become mercenaries, or they are pulled by Russia and thrown into the mercenary team, thinking of acting as cannon fodder together However, the more professional ones are the sailors of the pirate team. They are highly skilled. Many of them were actually naval soldiers and officers from various countries. Therefore, as technical arms, they are assigned to key positions.
