Lord of Ming Dynasty

How can this founding of the country not suffer heavy losses.

As a general, you should be able to bear the psychological quality of heavy losses.

How many Han people are there today? About 8000 people.

In the past two months, there were more than 4000 people. In the past two months, there have been more than 800 people each time, plus the previous number, plus the original Han people, and those who married Indian women in the Han team. The number of children born to them, as well as those born to the women who came after the young people grew up and married with them, increased in number.

Now the death rate of Han Chinese is three to five per day. Compared with the average number of Han Chinese who come every month, the Han Chinese are on the rise, with an average of four to five people coming every day.

Basically the same, with a slight increase.

"How about the shipbuilding of the main fleet?" Li Ya asked.

Tang Yaweng said: "Is this a matter? A total of five 19-ton warships have been built. It may be impossible to complete the construction before the enemy comes, because it has been more than two months since the keel was laid, the materials were prepared, and the keel was selected. The one-meter-diameter and 18-meter-long teak left by the French before is at least [-] meters two feet five inches long after processing.

The hull is [-] meters high, and the outside uses three-inch steel plates manufactured by our smelter. The entire hull is riveted with rivets, covering all parts of the ship. In the core boiler room, engine room, steering gear room, command cabin, and the bottom of the mast, The turrets are covered with two layers of three-inch steel plates, followed by a layer of half-foot-thick teak board. Behind the teak board is the inner wall, and a one-centimeter-thick steel plate is used to make a box-like protective wall.Behind the protective layer is the decorative material willow and poplar, and most places only have the inner wall of the steel plate, which does not need decoration.Can save a lot of ship weight.

There are three 75mm artillery turrets in front of each ship. The turrets are made of one-inch steel plates for rotation. Because they are relatively heavy, the top and lower parts of the turrets are riveted with one-centimeter steel plates and the same inch-thick steel plates, which can save a lot of ships. weight.

In addition, the stern has three turrets, two 34-pound siege gun turrets, and a 34mm British rapid-fire gun.The rapid-fire gun is located at the front of the stern, near the top of the steering gear, and the two [-]-pound siege gun turrets are two meters high, taking care of two directions and the rear.

Six secondary guns are used on both sides of the ship, and three 50mm rapid-fire guns captured by the British are used on each side. In order to protect the gunners, gun gallery guns are used.

The entire ship was [-] meters wide, and the gun gallery took up two meters. On both sides, there were passages for soldiers and artillery shells, which were less than one meter wide.Only one person is allowed to walk through the narrowest part of the aisle, because chimneys need to be placed in some places between the aisle and the artillery.

To this end, a hatch was opened next to each artillery. The hatch was made of six-inch, that is, two steel plates riveted together. Open the hatch, and the shells and gunpowder can be moved from the shell and powder compartment below. Gunpowder, there is a fire compartment behind each artillery position. When necessary, the soldiers pass through the compartment aisle on the lower floor, and use the fire hose to fill the shells and powder compartments with water to prevent enemy artillery from hitting the compartments for gunpowder and shells. Causing ammunition to explode.

The lower cabins are various material storage warehouse cabins. There are aisle hatches going down behind the stern and bow. Lock the hatches. If the hatches inside are closed, this is a floating warehouse, but it is also the last floating warehouse. Carry the entire ship without being sunk.

However, the people in the engine room and boiler room on the ground floor could no longer go up.

The top is raised by two meters, and two meters above the deck is a superstructure corridor. Below the corridor is the captain’s cabin in front, and above the captain’s cabin is the conference room. The top of the conference room is the mast cabin. .Going back, the stern of the deck, under the rear end of the fort is the ammunition and gunpowder warehouse of the fort, behind it is a small dining room, behind the small dining room is the gunner's room, behind the gunner's room is the chimney, and between the chimney and the chimney is the sailor's room.

Under the floating warehouse is a part of the sailor's room and the quarters of the combat soldiers, as well as the quarters of the handymen, chefs, and doctors.The bottom warehouse is part of the duty room for operating the turbines, the residence of the fireman, and a bathroom for washing.

The whole ship has a compact structure and a complex structure. Apart from its strong firepower, ferocity, and strong combat capability, it does not store much material and has a small number of people. It is estimated that the combat range is [-] nautical miles, and it can sail further You need a supply ship. "

Li Ya looked at Tang Yaweng, "Why don't you make it longer? If you make the structure a little simpler, I think it will be a mixed bag. [-] nautical miles, the shortest distance between us and the British is [-] nautical miles. The supply ship can't go to the UK?

How fast? "

Tang Yaweng said with a smile: "Well, we have these five [-]-ton warships. At least it is no problem to defend the country for [-] nautical miles. At least we can go around Newfoundland several times. It is not a problem to patrol for half a month. As long as the British are not enemies several times, and they are not very unlucky, and hit the ammunition compartment with one shot, and the door of the ammunition compartment is not closed, and the ammunition inside is killed, and we do not have time to inject water, then there will be no problem.

The speed is about [-] knots. It’s not fast, but most of the steam ships can’t run too fast. If they want to fight, they have to slow down to fight with us. Now everyone’s combat speed is reduced to [-] to [-] knots. Around the festival, there is more than enough fighting and rubbing, unless he doesn't fight, he just wants to run away. "

The first thousand 270 six chapters on fire in the backyard

The ship is a good ship, but this kind of ship is too expensive. In order to build these five armored warships of more than 5000 tons, the New Qin Empire paid almost all the labor, all the shipbuilding materials, and all the existing money.

The captured Spanish gold coins alone cost 30 taels. If they were exchanged for the silver taels of the Ming Dynasty, there would be 300 million taels. If they were exchanged for the silver taels of the Qing Dynasty, they would be 450 million taels. , that is 800 million Chinese yuan.

Even the shipbuilding of the Chinese Empire has never said that five ships are worth 800 million Chinese yuan. The cost may be only three or hundreds of thousands of Chinese yuan, but it is sold to the fleet for 100 million Chinese yuan, and some cost 300 million. Huaxia yuan, sold to the fleet is 500 million Huaxia yuan, because there are still a series of expenses, such as the price increase fee of invisible materials, the approval fee of various government offices, and the cost of time silence. , not cheap, but now these five ships cost 30 Spanish gold coins.

That's the equivalent of £75 in gold coins.

And that’s not all, there are a lot of materials and artillery needed to equip these ships, and a lot of materials need to be paid. These materials can only be purchased from outside. The island is too desolate, and you can’t buy anything. These materials are eaten by the arrival of the new Qin Empire All materials stored for three years, all shipbuilding-related materials.

The most important places are boilers and steam engines, as well as some cranks, steering gear, crankshafts, and design drawings. These were all purchased from the Huaxia Empire, and most of all the stored gold, silver and jewelry were given to the Huaxia Empire.

Zhao Shuai and the others did a lot of work, and most of Wu Kejingzhi's work was done by Tang Yaweng, because he put a lot of effort into these matters and did a lot of things.

It is convenient to have a telegram. A telegram travels from [-] miles away, across the ocean, and after several trips, it arrives at a telegraph room built in Turkey. It takes a special commercial line. Now Turkey is begging the Chinese Empire, and of course it will not stop it This kind of thing, and use a special coded telegram, and then transfer it on the Iranian border, return to Inner Mongolia, transfer from Inner Mongolia to Tongzhou, from Tongzhou to Yanjing, the resident of the Yanjing Military Intelligence Division, the next day. Report to the palace, and it will take a week to arrive after one lap.

If you go on land, it is impossible to go there in less than half a year and four months, even if you ride a fast horse for [-] miles, because China has this, foreign countries do not have this, and the Turks see you with [-] miles. Hurry up, the horse runs fast, that is to make violent movements in front of the American police of later generations, and it is impossible to speak before you are shot and killed.

The ethnic composition of Turkey is quite complicated. This is not the little NATO traitor of later generations, the overlord of the Middle East, and the capricious Asian villain. This Turkey is still an empire under the rule of the Sudan.

Attack Greece in the south, Russia in the north, Iran in the northeast, Syria, Iraq and other countries in the east. If not, you can also fight with Sweden, or attack Africa across the sea, which is very powerful.

With the increase in ship traffic, the New Qin Empire also built telegraph lines, public roads, and horse-drawn trains to increase transportation volume.

The captives and slaves from the two castles that have already been taken, plus the slaves and captives sent by Luozuo here, a total of 8000 people, cut mountains and rocks, felled trees to build roads, and laid cinders on a route of no more than [-] kilometers. And stones, raised the roadbed, and then laid sleepers, ready to build a railway line from the port of Terenceville to Gubisburg.

It is estimated that the line can be easily laid next month, and then the sleepers can be laid next month, and then the railway from Xinxianju Town, through Winterburg to the Port of Terenceville can be connected next month However, the railroad vehicles and horses are bought from Turkey, because the cost of getting them from China may be too high in Turkey, and it is currently unsafe to ship them by sea. If they are from the Chinese Empire, they must be equipped with steam engines, or The latest model is currently impossible, and the cost is too high.

Even using the old one is impossible. It takes tens of thousands of kilometers to transport it from the Chinese Empire to Turkey by land, and nearly [-] nautical miles to the new Qin Empire by sea. The shipping cost is higher than buying a new nose, so You can only buy some horse-drawn train noses, vehicles, and carriages that were used by Turkey in the past and that the Chinese Empire helped build.

In the future, Tang Yaweng plans to make these things by himself. So far, he can only buy them by himself. It is still an obsolete thing like the old-fashioned third-generation horse-drawn train of the Chinese Empire decades ago. This kind of thing is owned by some Sudanese chiefs in Turkey. The area is still in use, so you can buy it, as long as you have money.

In this way, all the gold, silver and jewelry seized in the past few years, and some giant wood raw materials produced, as well as the fish caught on the island, and even more than half of the stored food were sold, five ships were built, and the work was not completed. , but it’s almost the same, anyway, the materials are ready.

There is also a horse-drawn train, and it is estimated that it will arrive next month.

The era of great construction is nothing more than that.

Of course, their era of large-scale construction cannot be compared with the decades of construction of the Chinese Empire. That was much more powerful, cost more, and killed millions of non-Han captives, as well as sentenced criminals and captured prisoners. The captives of the Qing Dynasty, the British, the Spaniards, the Italians, the Dutch, and even the French, the natives who conquered all over the place.

Seeing that the boat is about to launch into the water, everyone is happy.

At this time, the bad news came. First of all, on the side of Tianlei, the British launched the indigenous tribes on the main island to attack them. The railway construction was forced to stop, and the repaired road was damaged. The prisoners who built the road still ran away Quite a few, at least [-] British captives have fled to the main island, and the overseer brigade suffered many casualties, because the tribal fighters attacked the overseer brigade by sneak attack or outnumbered.

The overseer brigade adapted from the exile brigade, first the promoted slaves escaped, and then the captives instigated a rebellion. The entire overseer brigade consisted of more than 1000 people, and the personnel from the exile brigade and the mercenary brigade ran into two squadrons with more than 600 people. , the remaining people damaged more than 300 people in a squadron, and then the overseeing brigade with more than 300 people was cancelled.

The rest of the people were put in custody, and the Han Chinese mixed brigade re-arrested all the newly recruited captives and slaves who might have problems, and put them in prison camps.

As a result, the exile brigade dropped a squadron with more than 450 people, the mercenary brigade dropped a cavalry squad sharply, a newly formed squadron, and half of the squadron was arrested for mutiny.

In this way, the exile brigade of more than 600 people and the mercenary brigade were crippled, leaving only more than 400 people, which happened to be a strengthened brigade.

However, there were nearly 500 prisoners and slaves held in their prison camps.

The mixed Han brigade and two Han cavalry squadrons led by Soo Tianlei had a total manpower of just over 600.

The manpower of the two brigades, together with the manpower of the Chinese artillery squadron, has a total strength of more than 200 people. They have to guard Gubisburg, as well as the captives who can resist at any time, as well as the mercenary brigade who may mutiny or flee to the enemy. Well, the exile brigade is not a big problem because there are many Han people in it, but the mercenary brigade with only officers and some low-level Han officers has problems.

The first thousand and 270 chapters of the war of the indigenous tribes

Jinlin in Fort Swift Callent also encountered the same problem. More than 2000 captives and slaves escaped and more than 1000 people escaped. Only the earliest captives and slaves remained, and the repaired road was damaged.

Compared with Gubisburg's mine sweeping, his mixed brigade of more than 200 people, plus the artillery squadron of more than 600 people, can still control the situation, because the captives and slaves on his side have already It has been a long time, and there are very few newly captured slaves left, so after he knew what was going on, he immediately sent a cavalry squadron and a Han Chinese squadron to strengthen the troops of Sweeping Thunder, and sent All captives and slaves about 900 were taken.

The owner's two squadrons of 700 men, added to their original strength of 600 men, plus at least 1000 reliable exile and mercenary brigades, managed to suppress the captives and slaves.

No, it should be said that the more than 4000 slaves are now all slaves, and no more prisoners will be added. After learning this lesson, Sao Tianlei and Zhang Qiang suggested that they should no longer recruit captives and slaves to supplement the exile brigade and mercenary brigade. It is to increase the number of troops from outsiders every time they come.

All captives and slaves are treated as slaves, but those captives who have been obedient, and those who are now working in various workshops and shipyards as technical workers, are paid the same as before, but higher.

In this loss, about 1000 captives and slaves escaped, about 300 captives and slaves were killed or injured, about 50 Han soldiers were injured, and [-] people were killed or injured.
