Lord of Ming Dynasty

Seeing that they were about to join forces with the three returning sailing warships that had been destroyed by the enemy not far away and fled to the adjacent peninsula, Sa Lei kept urging, "Put down the steam engine sample and speed up."

This is an alternative steam engine sample, just like a motorboat, the engine can be pulled up, put it in the slot of the motorboat when in use, start the engine by pulling the rope, and then sit alone behind the motorboat to steer it, yes It was that kind of engine, and three of these engines were placed behind the ship. Amid the violent shaking and the howling of the steam engine, the speed of the three sailing warships was accelerated by at least one knot, and some even by one and a half knots.

He chased after the two sailing warships that were fleeing from the enemy, but unfortunately, the five enemy warships joined forces. Sa Lei quickly ordered the three sailing warships to turn around, so that they rushed up, just facing the enemy's salvo fire, he was sure At least one of your own three ships will be blown up by the enemy.

The three sailing warships made a wave circle of one and a half miles in the sea, circled to the other side of the enemy, and started to escape. The five sailing warships of the enemy turned around half a mile, and began to chase after them. After a while, Sa Lei and the others fled to the front. Three more enemy sailing warships ran over and joined the chase. When Sa Lei and the others fled to Mo Lin's side of the battlefield, the three enemy sailing warships on the battlefield escaped again, chasing Yangzhou behind them.

The enemy will soon reconcile, the eight sailing warships, now the subject and the guest change positions, the chasing one becomes the fleeing one, and the fleeing one becomes the chasing one, and the three fleeing enemy warships rush directly towards Sarai's flagship The Taizhou ship was beaten violently, Sa Lei felt a pain in his body, and was carried down from the command platform. He heard his adjutant yelling something loudly, but he was so weak that he passed out.

The battlefield shifted to the side of the island, and the other side was no longer visible. Everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot. After the six warships sent out salvaged the crew, they circled around the spot a few times and found no more survivors. Turned around and drove towards the battlefield. Two hours had passed by this time, and it was getting dark.

Zhao Shuai looked up at the sky, sitting on the roof of the Juyi Hall in the camp, drinking alone, and people around him kept reporting the situation on the battlefield and some information to him.

It's fine if he listens, this place is not under his command.This situation was actually caused by him on purpose. He didn't want to disrupt Li Ya's arrangement, and he didn't want to interfere with Li Ya's management. As long as they could eliminate the British or French, and then let these imperial exiles continue to die and bleed, Let the enemy continue to die and bloodlet him to complete the task assigned to him by the empire. As for establishing a firm foothold and establishing a country, it is not what he wants to do. He only supervises and assists them, and prevents the enemy from destroying them. Report the situation here to the empire, and then follow the orders of the empire to remotely direct the development here.

According to the various previous battle situations and the evaluation of the strength of the people around him on this battle, the mercenary regiment is very likely to win this war from the initial point of view, and now the New Qin Empire is very likely to win this war, but later evaluation shows that the naval strength is no enemy The enemy is powerful, the enemy has been prepared for a long time, the enemy is actively attacking, the enemy has more ships than them, and their personnel quality is relatively messy, and there are so many soldiers who jumped to fight on them. From the perspective of fighting style and fighting quality, the new Qin The Empire has no chance of winning.

In the final assessment, winning is also a miserable victory, and it is very likely that there will be no follow-up ability to continue the island landing operation.

What is even more infuriating is that Wen Ruxin has defected to the enemy, and some intelligence agents of the Military Intelligence Department have betrayed the empire. According to the information returned, the enemy, the British, have already made a move. They have assembled their fleet and are preparing to attack the New Qin Empire. The first thing they want to destroy is the little sea power that the New Qin Empire has just possessed.

The first thousand 220 chapters of the greater crisis

Colonel James didn't know why. He could see the battle between the Chinese and the French earlier, and maybe he could intervene. If he was lucky, he could wipe out most of the warships of the French and the Chinese at once, and let the two stay here There are not many warships available, and then the British dominate the sea, so that the two families cannot develop if they want to. Without French supplies and immigrants, the French can only be primitive people. Without the population of China, this new Qin Empire, The Chinese colonial expedition team could only be wiped out on the island by the French.

The British can also take the opportunity to attack and recover all the territory on the island, becoming the exclusive colony of the British.

But it happened that two idiots, Major Hawkins and Major Thomas, made a mess of it.

The steam engine pipes of the two steam engine ships burst suddenly, not only killed several plumbers on the two ships on the spot, but also burned a second lieutenant and several handymen. They would die, and they would be injured if they were injured, but the place where they had an accident was at the exit of the waterway in the port.

A steam engine ship was loaded with a merchant ship from England, and the merchant ship capsized on the spot, the steam engine ship's steam pipe burst, and the following steam engine ship dozed off because the watchman dozed off, and the high-speed ship hit the front steam engine again The ship hit the steam engine ship upside down, and then hit the merchant ship again. The merchant ship disintegrated and sank directly in the channel.

The three ships really blocked the waterway, and it took two hours to tow the damaged steam ship, drag this one back to the pier, and then deal with the overturned steam ship to save people , It took two hours, and it was midnight when the boat was towed back.There are still merchant ships in the channel that have not been salvaged. If they are not salvaged, except for fishing boats that can go to sea, larger merchant ships will not be able to move, let alone warships with a high tonnage.

So until Colonel James woke up the next day, the channel had not been cleared, and it was estimated that it would take three days to completely clear it. This really gave Colonel James an urge to kill.

Over there, the French and the New Qin Empire are all finished.

Zhao Shuai sat in his small yard refreshed and listened to the report of his subordinates: "Captain, yesterday we used a British merchant ship we obtained to collide with the enemy's steam engine warship at the entrance of the enemy's channel, causing the enemy two The two warships collided again and successfully prevented the British fleet from going out to sea and reaching the battlefield, but it is a pity that the three of us were buried in the bottom of the sea because of this action."

"They died for the sake of the empire. Report their names and add them to pensions. The military intelligence department will issue the award order. We can't control those now. After all, we are the military intelligence department. We are only responsible for supervision and management. The specific actions are The personnel of the Military Intelligence Department are handling it. Remember our mission, our mission is to eliminate all those who are dissatisfied with the empire, all those who oppose the thinking of the Chinese Empire, and all people and ideas that are against the Han people.

We only do ideological work and guidance, as well as a small amount of action, try not to have too much interaction with the people in the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and don’t get caught up in their thinking. We are the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, knives, and guns, but not necessary His Majesty the Emperor will not take action in person, so we can't do it casually.Understand? "

"Yes, Your Excellency, Operation Captain, we will definitely remember your teachings, for His Majesty, for the Chinese Empire, and for the country of our Han people." The member of the Military Intelligence Department who reported the report stood at attention, raised his head and chest, looked forward, and looked at the front seriously. Zhao Shuai answered loudly with a shouting voice.

"Well, remember to let our people go around the territory of the New Qin Empire more, through chatting, talking, talking about daily routines and other activities, to understand their thoughts, understand their thoughts, make records in time, and clear them up, Guide them and let them know their identity as the Han people of the Chinese Empire, or as the sending legion of the Chinese Empire.

Even though this is already a country where Han Chinese and Westerners are mixed, let them get close to China, to our Chinese Empire, not to be our enemy, but to be our ally, and to be a force we can control. To be the bridgehead for our westward invasion.Let them be our front line soldiers, not our enemies. "

At this time, Zhao Shuai was already an ideological instructor of the Huaxia Empire, enlightening and guiding the subordinates around him, and at the same time giving them how to work.

"Compile a copy of the British troops, fleets, and personnel, as well as the number of enemies, troops, strongholds, and ships in the Avalan Peninsula, and give it to Team Leader Wu Kejing to report to Li Ya. .”

Just when Zhao Shuai was teaching his subordinates, the entire attacking fleet came back. Li Ya, a group of army officers and civilian officials were distressed to death. Only half of the sixteen warships of the fleet came back at this moment. ship?

Because none of the entire fleet was intact, all of them were seriously injured and able to run, but they all lost the ability to fight again, the artillery was seriously damaged, and the casualties were serious. Although eight ships came back, each of them was only able to It was only activated, and the only ones with the least injuries were a few turrets that were still capable of fighting. The other artillery pieces were basically destroyed.

A brigade of 1000 sailors went to battle, 100 came back intact, 300 were slightly injured, 50 were seriously injured, and the rest were killed or missing. Missing in a sea battle means death. Who can soak in the cold sea for a few hours? ?Most of those who fell off the boat were injured. This kind of injury is soaked in the cold sea water, and there is definitely no way to save it.

In addition, there is at least one multinational mercenary regiment of artillery, sailors, and at least one brigade with more than 200 people on board. This is used to help the sailor brigade operate sailboats and steamships, and there is also a pirate brigade. Squadrons, with Iliad, Inuit, English, French, Newfoundland, Indian, and African handymen, carrying shells, and personnel preparing for jump gang operations.

There were 600 people who sailed, and only 210 people came back. Most of them were slightly injured, 300 people were seriously injured, and only 200 people were intact with only scratches. The others were either killed or missing.

The steamships Jinling, Xianju, Yangzhou and Taizhou are back, the others are wrecked or sunk, the sailing warships Marlin, Lawn, St. Lawrence, and Winter are back, Others were sunk or destroyed.

Three enemy steamships and two sailing warships were captured.

All other enemy warships were taken out, all sunk.

The three steamships and three sailing warships that were sent later also came back, somewhat injured, with nearly a hundred casualties.

The biggest bad news is that Sare was killed.

500 people were killed, 300 were missing, 400 were seriously injured, 500 were slightly injured, 15 were frightened, three escaped, and 13 were shot.

Li Ya brandished the war statistics list. Of the 75 Han people he sent to monitor, only 15 people came back alive. The 15 people reported in fifteen minutes, enumerating the details of this operation and various painful lessons.

Just when he was about to explode, Wu Kejing walked in and handed him a document. Li Ya felt relieved after reading it, but also felt anxious at the same time. There were heavy casualties here, the entire navy was severely damaged, and the British were actually preparing to To attack him, although he didn't make the trip because of the accident, it was just a matter of two or three days. He had to regroup the navy within two or three days, and at the same time prepare for the British attack.

The first thousand and 220 chapters six Siegfried governor

Le Mans looked at the sailors and soldiers of the rescued fleet with a look of unrequited love. When they attacked, there were seven steam engine warships, 23 sail warships of more than 200 tons, and the flagship reached 220 tons. 320 soldiers, 35 officers, [-] Afro-French, [-] Anglo-French.

When they came back, all the 56 ships were destroyed. The survivors were sent back by three sailing warships of the New Qin Empire and thrown on the beach. There were 320 officers and [-] soldiers in total.

He didn't know why the enemy didn't capture them this time, but sent them back for him.

Standing on the highest point of the island, under such a clear sky, he can actually see the fierce battle at sea clearly. The Huaxia people are very tenacious. They are not as good as the French, but they play more tenaciously.Even if a ship is already in flames, it still thinks about how to bombard the French fleet, or prepares to take the nearest French warship to die together.

On the other hand, the fighting here is a little loose and casual, some people don't listen to the command of the commander at all, or they don't cooperate to fight, just like the sail warship was hit in the middle of the ship in the end. , or it can pass by a little deviation, and continue to maintain the battle line. As a result, the French warships behind took the initiative and rushed towards the enemy.

"Your Excellency Governor Siegfried, I think we should have peace talks with the New Qin Empire. We can no longer duel with them. Although we have huge support from the mainland of France, we no longer have the strength to persist until the support arrives. Today morning According to the intelligence, the British Major Thomas led an infantry regiment to attack our last stronghold on the Avalan Peninsula. Now our stronghold in the Newfoundland area is left with these two small islands.

If we want to keep this bridgehead, we must negotiate with the New Qin Empire. The New Qin Empire is supported by the Chinese Empire. Recently, fifty ships and nearly 1 people came to support us. I think, in order With a population base of 50 million people in the Chinese Empire, maybe they will send millions of people here, even if there are [-] soldiers in it, this is not something we, a small France, can resist. "

The rich French governor narrowed his eyes and looked at Le Mansjean, the French major, originally a colonel, he lost the neighboring peninsula, was directly demoted to a major in the country, and led the French to this former small stronghold, of course When he fled, he brought back the domestic manor owner, who bought the governor's position for 100 million francs. Of course, he may not be a qualified businessman, because when he arrived in Newfoundland, he found Newfoundland There is only one peninsula left in Finland, two small islands, and a few strongholds on the Avalan Peninsula belong to them, and the rest belong to the British.

Now that the British have taken down the last stronghold on the Avalan Peninsula, an immigration point with 100 French people, then they are left with these two small islands. Governor Siegfried died. This small island has no output and no economic benefits. Could it be selling fish?How many years will it take to recover his investment, [-] million francs.

It hurts to think about it, so he said to Major Le Mans in annoyance: "I don't care about that, I only know who made me money, I want to get my investment back, if I can get my investment back, I will do whatever you want me to do." Okay, damn it, this governor has cost me too much experience, I shouldn’t have spent money to buy this governor, as well as the slaves on my island, the manor, the farmland, as long as I can get them back, I can do anything.”

He stood up, moved his fat body, walked towards the door, and turned to Major Le Mansjean when he reached the door: "I hope to end this damn governorship within a few days, and you have to give me a satisfactory answer within a few days , or I don't mind having you as a minion. A grey-haired minion who smells like a goddamn fisherman."

Obviously, Governor Siegfried was very angry with Le Mans, because he lost all his governor's territories.

Although Le Mansjean disdains this fat man, there is nothing he can do. Whoever makes him have anything to do with the Bourbon dynasty is still the governor here.

Despite his disdain, anger, and unwillingness, he still did what he proposed. At night, a merchant ship took him to the port of Xinxianju Town.

At this time, the port of Xinxianju Town is busy. Newly arrived African mercenaries, Turkish mercenaries, as well as British and French prisoners of war, and captives captured by previous tribes are building fortifications. On the beach, wherever possible Build fortifications in any area that is raided by the enemy.

At the same time, cannons were pushed into the repaired fortifications, a large number of mercenaries were carrying ammunition, and countless cavalry were running around the camp, passing orders to various ports and inland strongholds.

In the Juyi Hall of the camp, there are about 100 military officers, [-] supervisors from various places, the civil affairs directors of the strongholds, and the logistics directors of the camp. A total of more than [-] people are discussing how to deal with the current situation.

The large-scale invasion of the British, the news of the upcoming arrival of the British fleet is disturbing. The new Qin Empire, which has just been established and has not had time to reorganize, will usher in the British sea attack. Maybe it will be more than that. Maybe the British will send people to land somewhere. , and sweep all the strongholds.
