Lord of Ming Dynasty

So the most important thing in front of Li Ya is the contradiction between population and combat power. Now he doesn't even have any fighters to guard these captives and slaves. There are more than a dozen strongholds, including Xinxianju Town, with insufficient guards. Insufficient military strength, and the main population of Han Chinese is insufficient, and the population of foreigners is several times larger than that of Han Chinese.

Such a thing would not exist in the Chinese Empire, because there are too many Han Chinese, especially those who hid in the south. Because the north is close to the Hu land, in fact, the Hu people have more blood, but after thousands of years of evolution, the Hu people have become Becoming a Han Chinese is the greatness of the Chinese nation.

The Han people in the north have the blood of the Hu people, but their living habits and cultural inheritance belong to the Chinese nation, while the Han people in the south, under this rigid surface, have injected a little compromise into the Han people in the north, and there are constant compromises, infighting, cultural Weakness genes, the north and the south have their own roles, the northern Han people are strong, and the southern Han people are weak, once the northern and southern Han people are fused, the blood of the two families is the Chinese nation, with both hardness and softness, moderation, and law-abiding.

Without the turbulence and bloody violence of the barbarians, but with the same determination to defend the country and survive to the end, without the compromise and cunning of the southerners, but with the ability to share profits and land with others, civilized rules, yin and yang Under the harmony, the Chinese nation can be firm or soft, full of flexibility, making all foreign aggression powerless.

Now there are too few Han people in the new Qin Empire, and they can only be assimilated into Westerners in the West. Just look at the Chinese Han people in Central Asia. The environment and the interference from the West and the Central Asians left behind, as well as being too far away from the mainland of China, so the folk customs there have become the north of China, and the Mongolians, Huns, Hu people, etc. in those historical dynasties, after a few years Where could it become China's confidant's trouble.

But now Li Ya can't give Huaxia a warning. He knows that he can see it, and the old emperor Zhang Qiang of Huaxia can also see it. Asia and Siberia are assimilated by the local indigenous cultures that survived in the West and the local environment.

It can be seen that the country only exiled some criminals and some officials and families who failed in the domestic struggle. One is to continue to fill the population gap in Siberia, and the other is to solve some people through the environment there, and then exile them to Russia. Solve some other people, and the main place of exile is Central Asia, and Central Asia does not mean that no one is exiled, these people are directly exiled out of the country and become cannon fodder.

Maybe he thinks that here, his place is the most important place to execute these people, because this place is too difficult. In less than three years, they have been fighting almost every month, fighting with the local aborigines, fighting with the French, and fighting with the British. people fight.

The result is that Russia and Turkey consume the Han Chinese in exile. They consume Westerners and Han Chinese here. Not many Han Chinese come here now. In addition, the Han Chinese who were lost along the way when they evacuated have come here for two and a half years. Han Chinese, a total of 1 Han Chinese were consumed, and there are still more than 3000 Han Chinese, which may be in the early [-]s.

He felt that he was just a chess piece, a chess piece in the hands of the old emperor.

And he still has to be this pawn, because he has to fight and struggle for his life.

Now, it is necessary to solve the problems of these large population imbalances. How to solve them?

After thinking about it for a while, he decided on a policy, which is easy to solve. The Chinese Empire has already had a precedent. In the past, the Portuguese, Italians, Spaniards and Dutchmen were often captured in wars. It seems that it was still in the Chinese Rebels era. The empire, His Majesty the Emperor solved it in that way, sending them all to the hard labor camp, and then letting them slowly wash away their sins step by step, and then become captives.

They were caught and are now captives, but they are directly turned into slaves, and the hard labor is replaced by slaves. Anyway, slaves in the West are very popular now.

Then give them hope, the good performance is the overseer, this overseer is not the same as the overseer brigade, the overseers here are tantamount to admitting their original captive status, if the British come to redeem them, they can go back, but they will be reduced to slaves People who are here have to continue to work hard.

The people in the Overseer Brigade here are actually soldiers of the New Qin Empire, but they also suffered heavy losses in this battle where the British attacked at sea and on land, and then attacked from behind. Basically, the entire army was wiped out. Credit to Larry and Vincent.

Because most of the soldiers and horses of the Overseer Brigade were stationed outside the stronghold, while helping to defend, they also worked on land reclamation, mining, road construction, etc., and monitored the increasing number of captives. , because of the lack of troops, they were defeated by the enemy one by one, and the casualties were great. Many people either escaped or were captured by the enemy, and they worked for the enemy again even for an hour. captured.

Now Li Ya means that the overseer brigade will be rebuilt, and then all the captives and captured people will be reduced to slaves.

Relying on the remaining squads of the original Overseer Brigade, split them out, add some remaining African Corps and Turkish Corps, as well as fighters from the Iliad and Indian tribes, and re-form the Overseer Brigade.

Then this time it was time for the Han people. The job of some young and strong Han people was to guard these slaves while monitoring the supervisory brigade, and at the same time cooperate with the Han Chinese teams to garrison strongholds in various places.

Now there are not many French in the New Qin Empire, the Spaniards are almost completely wiped out, and they can’t even make up a small team, and the Russians are almost completely wiped out, and they can’t even make up a small team. After being destroyed, they can only be organized into the supervisory brigade, because now the New Qin Empire really has no troops except for the remaining two and a half Han brigades and a cavalry brigade.

Almost all the troops of foreigners and aliens, except for one and a half brigades of sailors, there are not many foreigners and aliens in other troops, even the native tribes that are closer to them, the Indians and the Iliads. Adding up is only 450 fighters, and this is the result of counting the old people and young reserve personnel of the two families.

Although the British were defeated this time, they almost exhausted the foreigners and foreign troops of the New Qin Empire. It helped Li Ya to clean up the interior. The Han troops did not suffer much loss. The two cavalry brigades lost nearly one brigade, and now even the Han Chinese brigades are not full.

Now is the time when the New Qin Empire is at its weakest.

On the one hand, we must defend the border of the peninsula, on the other hand, we must defend the strongholds on both sides, on the other hand, we must defend Xinxianju Town, and on the other hand, we must defend four small islands at sea. Now the four small islands are defended by two small islands captured by the British remnant fleet, and the fleet has to go Wherever we attack, we will also guard 2 captives.

At the same time, farming, road building, shipbuilding, fortification, mining, logging, and post-war reconstruction must be resumed in various places.

Maybe a town of Xianju, or a site with a radius of thirty miles to the site of Winter stronghold, can do it if there are fewer prisoners, but if the site is large, it will be a bit stretched.

Chapter 240 Take your time

With the end of the battle, as the captives were taken into custody separately, the overseer brigade was reorganized, and many foreigners and foreign mercenaries were stuffed into the overseer brigade, filling up the establishment of the overseer brigade. With the slow passage of time, the New Qin Empire on the adjacent peninsula has regained its former vitality.

Calm and serene, there is no way not to be calm, because the enemy was beaten badly, two main commanders were captured, and now they are working on the farm outside Xinxianju Town, nearly 3000 British immigrants were captured, and nearly 3000 The population of the Inuit and Newfoundland tribes and tribal fighters were captured. When the entire fleet came out, there were 45 ships. When it returned, there were less than [-] ships.

In addition, their small tonnage sailing ships, armed merchant ships, and old sailing warships were almost disabled. They cooperated with the British soldiers and horses to seize the strongholds on both sides of the adjacent peninsula, but were killed by two cannons in the adjacent town Three [-]-ton sailing warships, five armed merchant ships, and a [-]-ton merchant ship for transporting troops were ordered.

The other strongholds sank two of their 180-ton armed merchant ships and damaged a [-]-ton troop carrier. After the fleet was wiped out, many sailing ships ran away, but about [-] sailing ships were killed by Molin's three steam engine battleships.

As a result, all the mobile forces, transport ships, and armed merchant ships of the British on the Avalan Peninsula were almost wiped out.

In addition, there were 2000 British regular troops, called the colonial army, which were defeated. Nearly 600 people were captured or disappeared, and died. Less than [-] people fled back. The remaining soldiers and horses could hardly launch another attack. No one Organization, Major Thomas is under investigation because of the previous defeat, and has lost prestige because of the second defeat. Although he is now the highest officer of the Avalan Peninsula, he will not be able to obtain the remaining officers for a while trust, and organize the manpower and material resources and troops to launch an attack.

As a result, the British were in a panic and disorganized, while the New Qin Empire here was slowly recovering blood.

Li Ya once again held a meeting of military officers. This time, the officers did not cause the embarrassing situation that the Juyi Hall could not let go, because most of the foreign officers brought by Wu Kejing and Zhao Shuai died in battle. The local indigenous Iliads and Indians , Inuit, Newfoundland, English, French chiefs or chiefs, or overseers, captive watch captains, and exile brigades, African mercenary regiments, Turkish mercenary regiment chiefs, Spanish and Russian squadrons or brigades The leader of the team, as well as the captains of the three brigades of the sailor brigade, are basically dead.

In the past, in addition to more than 30 Han officers, leaders like Li Ya, and some patriarchal representatives of the common people almost filled the Juyi hall, and then the leaders and chiefs from outside, the supervisory brigade, and the leaders of foreign mercenaries They could only fill the Juyi Hall, and this time it became a gathering of the Han officer corps again. In this way, the number of officers in the Han officer corps has also decreased by a few. In general, there are about 31 officers, ten less than when they first came. indivual.

In this row, Li Ya and Wu Kejing are at the top, and Zhao Shuai is at the bottom. Zhao Shuai has never shown his existence, but his status is, so he sits in the third place.

Below are Sao Tianlei and Tang Yaweng, and below are Luo Zuo and Mo Lin, who are seated according to their original military ranks.

Then there was the new captain of the Overseer Brigade, a Frenchman. This was a captured prisoner. After being transformed, he had a lot of fun. He didn’t die in this battle. At the same time, he didn’t go away with Governor Siegfried and Colonel Le Mans, and regrouped. After the supervisory brigade, he served as the captain of the supervisory brigade.

Below are the civilian officials of the captive guard camp, one is in charge of logistics, and the other is in charge of task assignment and daily processing.

After that, there are Dianwei and Xianwei of a few Han people. Although there are only more than 1000 Han people, plus some Indians and Iliad tribes for population management, and most of the Han people are still stationed in Xinxianju Town. Some of the strongholds and mines near here outside the city, as well as the villages they established themselves, are next to the farms. There are not many Han people in other strongholds, and most of them are indigenous and foreign immigrants. This time, the strongholds have become prisoner camps. , or better called a slave camp.

"Luo Zuo, you will be in charge of guarding our territory in the future, that is, the commander of the garrison of the New Qin Empire, soldiers and horses, guards and supervisors of prisoner camps in various places, as well as a cavalry squadron, a Han squadron, and an artillery squadron."

Li Ya began to speak, and began to establish the New Qin Empire's own officials and officer system from the very beginning.

"Sweeping Thunder, you will be the commander of the field army in the future, responsible for the defense of the border and future offensive operations."

"Tang Yaweng is the logistics commander. He is responsible for the allocation of materials in the territory and the statistics and distribution of various mines, quarries, logging yards, farms, and shipyards. Fishing boats go to sea to harvest. A cavalry squadron and a Han squad, and Luo Zuo will cooperate with you in using all the slaves, and you will also be responsible for the reconstruction of various strongholds and the construction of fortifications in the future."

He turned to Wu Kejing and said, "Chief Wu will be called County Magistrate Wu from now on. He is in charge of all the civil affairs here, and is also responsible for recruiting Han people or other mercenary groups to make up for our population shortage, and managing all It’s not about the distribution and deployment of combat ships, and business matters, but at the same time manage Xianju Town and dispatch civilian officials to various strongholds. Of course, it also manages intelligence.”

"Molin, you are in charge of the construction and management of the navy, as well as the battle. In addition, let Luo Zuo cooperate with you to retake several other small islands. The small island is temporarily used as the outlying base of the navy and is responsible for external security. The personnel and materials are in charge of the others. The sailor brigade is under your management, but you are responsible to me."

"I am in charge of the army, navy and army, as well as the general strategic direction. As the governor of the empire, I am in charge of civil affairs, military affairs, intelligence and other things."

Everyone nodded, because it was a matter of no choice, and it should be like this.

Until now, the New Qin Empire was considered more formal, a bit of a copycat of the Huaxia Empire, but there was no prototype of a country, it was just a model that had just risen from a mercenary group to a colonial team.

As for Zhao Shuai, Li Ya didn't know how to assign him at all. His official position was higher than his own, and after he announced the founding of the country, the relationship between the two parties became more awkward. He didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only maintain the current state.

The first thousand and 240 chapter three defense system

After making limited changes to the internal personnel structure of the mercenary regiment, Li Ya began to arrange the defense system of the adjacent peninsula.In fact, the adjacent peninsula did not need to suffer such a big loss this time. If there were enough troops to defend the midpoint, the neighboring town, and the border defense line, if there were no Wen Ruxin's rebellion and surprise attack, the New Qin Empire would not have lost so many foreign troops. .

Why are there so many foreign troops?

Because in addition to monitoring, coordinating, and deterring these foreign troops, the Han army is also guarding Xinxianju Town, the home of the mercenary regiment, at most St. Lawrence Town, and neighboring towns. The other strongholds are basically guarded by foreign troops. , Even in the border area, only one cavalry squadron was sent to patrol and one Han Chinese squadron was sent to guard.

The combat missions are all foreign troops, the main defensive missions are also foreign troops, and the main personnel of the navy are also foreign troops. Most of the navy is staffed by foreigners.

Now the Han troops have to be separated to guard various places, because the population of foreign troops has been wiped out by the French and British.

Obviously, the troops in Li Ya's hands can't defend all of these places now. This is a place of nearly 2000 kilometers, and the width from east to west is not very large, less than 1000 kilometers. A mere 35 troops must guard such a large territory. 450 slaves, of course, there are [-] slaves in the supervisory brigade, but they also need to be stationed in various strongholds. Now they can only guard the strongholds by themselves. At least [-] people must be placed in each stronghold. The strength of a team is about ten. A stronghold is nearly [-] people.

Then put 1000 people on the border of the remaining people, 1000 people in Xinxianju Town, 300 people in the sailor brigade on the four islands, 600 people in the port of Xinxianju Town, and a patrol fleet in other ports. A hundred men, plus some captive Newfoundland slaves, were enough to steer and sweep the boats, pull the cables, and hold the sails against the canvas.
