Lord of Ming Dynasty

This time, the Han commander mobilized four more captured artillery pieces, and assigned a squadron of the supervisory squadron to operate the artillery, while the artillery squadron’s squadron was responsible for instructing them. In fact, it didn’t need to be accurate. Just stay inside the crowd. As for his commander's mind, the commander, who is also an officer, knows very well that he wants to consume the enemy, make the enemy unable to bear the casualties, and then lead the people back to the castle.

Keep suppressing the enemy's firepower. This time, the remaining captured artillery fired at two kilometers away. If there was no fire at the enemy's castle, the enemy began to fight back. Then the Han commander led the troops to 300 meters away from the town at one time. Four cannons, plus six bronze cannons, began to suppress the enemies in the town, and then let the overseer squadron lead the slaves to charge.

This time they rushed into the town and fought with the enemy for nearly an hour before being driven out. Nearly 100 slaves were injured and captured, dozens of them died, and they were maimed again. The supervisor squadron also suffered heavy casualties.

However, the Han commander still let the remaining people launch an attack, and at the same time let the exile squadron also launch an attack, directly penetrated the town, and then came out with the captured enemy's two cannons. The squadron even occupied a few wooden houses on the edge of the town, confronting the enemies inside the town across a hill and grove.

The first thousand and 260 chapters and three take down the outlying town

It was getting dark, and while eating, Sao Tianlei said to the commander beside him: "You bring a mercenary squadron to lead the formation, and the mercenary cavalry squadron will give you one, and the artillery squadron will draw a group, and then I will give you a thousand slaves, two hundred slaves." The captives, one and a half overseer squadrons, take the rest of the captured artillery, and take down the part of the town on the other side of the enemy tonight."

Looking back, he said to the Han commander who commanded the battle during the day and almost captured the town during the dark period: "Here are three hundred captives for you, and the remaining half of the supervisor squadron will gather the remaining slaves. There are 300 people, and I will give you three hundred prisoners." With the remaining troops of the Exile Squadron and the group of the Artillery Squad, take the town tonight, don't take any prisoners, and drive the population of the town to the castle for me."

Tore off a chicken leg, stuffed it into his mouth, raised his head and drank a bowl of fruit wine, which was brewed from the fruits picked by the New Qin Empire on the island, touched his mouth after eating, and said to the commander of the artillery team: " Tonight, throw the remaining artillery shells in the enemy's castle and try to kill the enemy as much as possible. Tomorrow our artillery shells will be delivered, followed by the remaining artillery and troops of the artillery squadron, as well as two giant cannons."

In the middle of the night, Major Thomas looked at the flames constantly exploding outside, with a serious face. He wanted to gather troops to catch the enemy by surprise, but unexpectedly, his soldiers did not go out, and 4000 people piled up in Gubisburg and Swift Cullen Fort Fort, the enemy is coming.

The [-] Inuit cavalry and Newfoundland infantry sent to meet the enemy earlier, as well as an artillery company and a British cavalry platoon, were beaten back five kilometers away. Before he could send reinforcements, the enemy I arrived at the door of the house, set up camp, and prepared to fight myself.

I hastily arranged manpower to organize the militias in the town. One thousand militiamen, plus [-] Inuit tribal fighters, lost [-] militiamen and [-] tribal fighters in less than three hours. , he had to evacuate the immigrants in the town to the castle. Before the militiamen could withdraw, the enemy launched an attack again. There were still his troops and some logistics soldiers in the town.

Now, in this 750-meter-long and 500-meter-wide castle, there are [-] British soldiers who originally guarded the castle, and [-] immigrant mercenaries. British soldiers, two thousand newly trained Newfoundland soldiers and Inuit tribal fighters.

This makes the road have the appearance of cement and the hardness of stones. Although it is not very beautiful, it is stable and firm when walking on a cart. The key is to accelerate the speed of pedestrians running on the road, which is far faster than Dirt roads are much faster and much cleaner than dirt roads, because Daming does not have cars that weigh dozens of tons like later generations. Even if there are carriages for transportation, they will definitely not exceed a few tons in weight. As far as the road is concerned, it is more than enough. This is the change that Zhang Qiang brought to this era.

It can't be said how advanced or advanced it is, but it is absolutely convenient.

And with the increase of R&D personnel, it is mainly because the Huaxia Army has added other industry exams on the basis of the imperial examinations, 360 lines, and there are exams for all walks of life. Low-level personnel can get a government-certified industry qualification certificate. With these certificates, you can engage in research in related industries, and sell the research results to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

This is the qualification certificate for all people in the industry. It is an honor to have this certificate, just like a scholar who has been admitted to Tongsheng. In the village, you can also get the reception of the village head, the head of the security, or the head of the township, and let everyone look at you highly. In these low-level administrative positions, you can also get a good income and a basic monthly salary.

I have to find you when dealing with the government.

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, passing through the countryside, and learned about these things through the mouth of the young guide who led the way.

Low-level certification does not require you to be literate or have read books, as long as you can get something in the industry and get government approval.

And can get the qualification to go to adult night school for free. If you graduate from the night school, that is to say, you know ten Arabic numerals and more than one hundred characters, you can take the qualification certification level two examination.

These exams are all focused on industry leaders. If you can speak clearly about farm work and record it with the help of others, and if you can understand it yourself, you will be able to obtain a second-level qualification certification.

These people were all requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much it produces, how much iron can be smelted, how much iron can be hammered in a day, whether some things made by carpenters meet the standards set by the government, and help the government solve the problems of contact with people in these industries.

They will be paid when they are requisitioned.Promote Jin Lin to lead the 11th Field Brigade, Ma Sanli to lead the 12th Field Brigade, Du Ge to lead the 6rd Field Brigade, He Jin to lead the 13th Field Brigade, and the remaining Field Brigade No. 13 Field Brigade to be transferred to the southwest of Guangzhou. Ma Han took over the No.[-] field brigade, and then transferred Feng Wuyu's second field brigade to the southwest defense line, and Feng Wuyu followed to the southwest defense line to take charge of the work there.

Xuanyuan Longfei was transferred to Wuchang Mansion, and the Fifth Field Brigade still followed.

Ruan Jin took over Ma Weixing's [-]th Field Brigade and was stationed in Anqing Prefecture. The generals were changed, but the soldiers of the [-]th Field Brigade did not move, and the station did not move.

Ma Weiren, the commander of the Ninth Field Brigade, went to take over the No.18 Field Brigade and stationed in Hanyang Prefecture.

The No.20 Sixth Field Brigade was transferred from the Hubei battlefield to defend the Southern Ming Army in Shaoguan, Guangdong.

When you want to go one step further, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification. These people must be able to speak well and be able to count and write. These people are generally veterans or businessmen's buddies, old officials in the government, or have been famous for a long time Some of them are directly recruited by the government and given to a clerk. These clerks spend more than half of their time working in the government, and they are called the low-level clerks of the government.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, even put forward some good suggestions, and develop good things. The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements.

The first thousand and 260 chapter four land and sea attack to seize the port

Because there are too many troops brought by the mine sweeping this time, two regular army brigades, one brigade of the overseer brigade, and the transport of captives and slaves, as well as the artillery squad, two more were added later. The artillery squad, and a shore artillery squad brought by a giant cannon and two giant cannons, these troops are organized, and there are nearly [-] people.

None of them arrived, and the first wave was the Han Chinese cavalry squadron and mercenary cavalry squadron, as well as the guard squad cavalry for sweeping mines, and his own 20-man personal guard squad.

The second wave marched no more than five miles away from them. There were two squadrons, one Han Chinese squadron, two squadrons, one exile squadron infantry, one mercenary infantry squadron, and the few squadrons they brought, one squadron of supervisors, A squadron of prisoners, a squadron of slaves, and men of the artillery squadron.

The third wave was a brigade of overseers, plus a Chinese squad for escorting captives and slaves, a squadron of cavalry, and a squadron of mercenaries, a squadron of exiles, and the baggage of the artillery squadron, which was in charge of the captive squadron.

Finally, there are two squadrons in charge of the rear, a mercenary squadron, an exile squadron, a Han Chinese squadron, a Han Chinese cavalry squadron, and a squadron of the overseer brigade, the remaining two squadrons of the artillery squadron, and the cannon escort. The shore artillery team, and the remaining prisoners and slave transport logistics team.

These troops mobilized almost one-third of the troops of the New Qin Empire, a Han Chinese brigade, a cavalry squadron, an overseer squadron, an artillery squadron, and [-] prisoners and slaves took over the front-line defense work.

Tang Yaweng was temporarily in charge of the defense of the entire territory, and Luo Zuo went to the front line to guard the front line border area.

Morin dispatched a brigade of sailors to lead ten steam engine thousand-ton warships and ten sail warships to assist in the battle. He managed the remaining two sailor brigades, one of which was the main fleet's sailor brigade, and the other was guarding the coastal ports. Sailor brigade.

By the time the last part arrived, Sweeper was ready for the next move, just like a cake was about to be cut and eaten, he took down the town and captured all the people in the town, then the next step It is to clean up the port on the side of the town, and the port is also guarded by British troops.

This area is not big, and it is closer to the castle, almost under the nose of the castle, less than three miles away, from the other side of the castle, you can retreat to the port, and then board a ship to escape.

The day and night attack took down the town, causing the New Qin Empire to lose a total of 560 people, 380 people were injured, and 56 people were missing, which almost disabled one-sixth of the troops he brought this time.

But fortunately, most of the losses were slaves, slaves, if they were killed or injured, they would be killed or injured.

The nearly one hundred slaves who escaped back, no matter whether they were injured or not, Swee Tianlei fulfilled his promise, raised them a level, and turned them into captives. They can be executed casually without any protection. , and the work is easier, but the captives still have to go to the battlefield.

Even the overseer brigade lost more than 300 people, and a squadron was out of manpower, so the slaves and captives who had not lost much were temporarily added to the overseer brigade, and asked them to help the overseer brigade to take care of the wounded and new slaves and captives.

As for the Mercenary Squadron and the Wanderer Squadron, of the four squadrons lost, only one squadron was understaffed, and then the later Overseer Brigade and those who performed well in the Overseer Brigade were promoted to soldiers of two squadrons to supplement them. The loss is just a little more than a squadron.

This squadron temporarily guarded supplies and the wounded in the rear, while monitoring the overseers' brigade, as well as slaves and prisoners.

The strength of the two newly arrived squadrons, together with the assembled artillery squadron, plus the mercenary cavalry squadron, plus nearly a thousand captive and slave transport troops are the main force for attacking the port today.

Although the overall loss was heavy, because the Han troops did not have much loss, it was just that the cavalry squadron lost a group, the Han squad lost a dozen people, less than a squad, and the artillery squadron lost a force that could not be grouped. The idea is that the troops don't lose much and can gain a lot.

The entire town captured 200 enemy immigrants and more than 900 militiamen. Most of these people were injured. They also captured 22 enemy artillery pieces, ten bronze artillery pieces, and ten rapid-fire artillery pieces with a caliber of about 34 mm. And two [-]-pound siege guns.

The artillery shells seized nearly half of the enemy's artillery shells, [-] solid shells, [-] [-]mm rapid-fire artillery shells, and [-] heavy siege artillery shells that looked very large.

At noon, a mercenary squad, an overseer squad, and an artillery squad were left behind, a squad formed by the manpower drawn from the overseer brigade with the help of several artillery soldiers in the artillery squad, and a mercenary cavalry Dissatisfied with the formation of a squadron, stationed in the town to prevent the enemy from rushing down from here.

Most of the spearheads of the attack moved to the seaside, and attacked the port five miles away by the seaside.

Standing on a hill about three miles away from the campsite, Sweeping Thunder observed the moving troops.

The distance between the teams is very large, and they spread out, because the artillery on the enemy's city wall can cover a distance of more than ten miles around due to the high terrain. The place where he is standing can also be covered by enemy artillery, but it is already on the edge. In other words, all his battles were carried out under enemy fire.

The two new squadrons of the overseer brigade who advanced first approached the enemy's port with the prisoners and slaves of the two squadrons, and then the artillery on the enemy's wall continued to explode around them. It was about seven or eight from the camp to the port. In the distance of Lidi, more than 1000 people have walked to the vicinity of the port, and more than 30 people have been lost and more than 60 people have been injured.

Even the overseer brigade was a little unstable, and the mercenary cavalry squad behind rushed up and killed several people before stabilizing the troops.

Then the mercenary squadron infantry and the artillery squadron pushed the cannon forward, advanced three miles, and approached the side of the castle. The artillery squadron was about five miles away from the enemy, and began to use the captured artillery and the artillery it carried to suppress the enemies on the enemy's wall. The artillery, and then the rest of the people pushed the other artillery to move on, came to a hill and under the cliff, hid, the artillery team set up the artillery, and started shelling the enemy's port.

It is only two miles away from the enemy's port, and even bronze cannons can easily penetrate it, covering the enemy's port and wharf which is only more than one mile away.
