Lord of Ming Dynasty

Of the remaining 500 people, more than 600 were seriously injured and more than 300 were slightly injured.All the peripheral artillery was lost, and only ten artillery pieces on the castle were destroyed.

The two joined forces, and there were only more than 200 people who could fight, and the rest were wounded.

There are less than 1000 fighters left in the territory controlled by Luo Zuo, 150 Han Chinese soldiers, 50 cavalry, 3000 of them are Iliads, more than 1000 prisoners and more than 1000 slaves fled in the territory. In the end, only more than 800 slaves were brought under control, and with the addition of more than 500 slaves in Xinxianju Town, there were less than 800 slaves left in their hands, and less than [-] were captured.

After this battle, the population of the New Qin Empire dropped sharply from 9000 to 9000, of which 1000 captives escaped and 8000 captives died in battle.

The supervisory brigade was revoked because there were not many captives and slaves left to take care of it, and some sub-units of the Han Chinese brigade took on this responsibility.

The number of slaves dropped sharply from 1 to less than 500.

Almost all the foreign soldiers died, and there were hundreds of people left among the common people. They were all retired or seriously injured and disabled.

However, there are more tribal fighters, more than 1000 tribal fighters.

However, the number of Han people dropped sharply from the original 8000 to 4000, including ordinary people, who were harassed by the flames of war. Many were killed by escaped captives and betrayed slaves.

It seems to have returned to before liberation overnight.

All knew that the final link in ending this battle was the defeat of the enemy's still existing main fleet of the Expeditionary Force.

Count the remaining main battleships, five [-]-ton ironclad ships that have just been completed, four [-]-ton steam engine battleships that have not suffered much damage, and two [-]-ton sail warships, a total of eleven relatively intact ones battleship.

These days, even the five ironclad ships that are being installed have been destroyed one after another because of the turrets, the port waterway has been occupied by the enemy, and they have to face the enemy on the beach.

Because there was no way to stop the enemy's attack, the remaining artillery, even the artillery on the city wall, was bombarded by the enemy's main warships approaching the harbor in the waterway, so the breakwater dam outside was not reused even though the enemy retreated immediately after the attack. necessary.

Because there are not so many cannons to stop the enemy, nearly a hundred intact, new-style cannons, just brought out of the warehouse, were destroyed by the enemy within an hour of the artillery battle, so Xinxianju Town simply gave up the defense of the breakwater and released the enemy. Enter the port, and then fight the enemy on the beach and shipyard, as well as the artillery on the city wall, as well as the cliff fort artillery on both sides.

In the middle, it is inevitable to dispatch the main fleet to drive the enemy out. The beach fort was destroyed by the enemy. The factory was also bombed by the enemy, and now it is impossible to even repair it.

The main fleet hid in the harbor below a cliff fort at the deepest point. The deep-water harbor less than one nautical mile avoided the enemy's shelling. It is impossible to directly aim and shoot here, and the damage caused is not large.

Occupying the beach, the enemy's army went ashore. Over there, the New Qin Empire aimed at setting up forts on civilian houses, city walls, and cliffs, and engaged in artillery battles with the enemy. At the same time, both sides sent army soldiers to fight.

The British directly dispatched the [-] British troops who fled to the main island in the early stage to land and attack. They almost broke the city wall of Xinxianju Town from that direction and broke into Xinxianju Town.

At the port of Grand Bank, the enemy sent [-] Inuit tribal fighters, [-] Newfoundland infantry, and [-] British troops to land and attack the prisoner camps, slave camps, and small towns set up in the middle.

Where is the mixed Fifth Han Chinese Brigade to take care of the captives and take care of the people at the same time. After fighting for more than half a month, they finally held their positions. However, the militiamen among the people injured 900 people, and the people had to retreat to Xinxianju The town, the captives and slaves who were more loyal, and those who had lived for a long time retreated to Xinxianju Town, and the British and tribal soldiers captured by the front line and Swift Current Fort and Gubisburg were put on the front line The enemy's ammunition was consumed, many casualties, and many escaped.

However, in the end, Grand Bank was defended, and the triangular position of the New Qin Empire, which was adjacent to the town, St. Lawrence Town, and Xinxianju Town, was lost.

The first thousand and 280 chapters nine main fleet attack

The main force of the main fleet composed of eleven 22-ton warships, two [-]-ton sail warships, eight [-]-ton steam engine warships, and one [-]-ton sail warship, a total of [-] remaining The battleship quietly sailed out of the port in the dark.

Steam engine warships The thousand-ton battleships were destroyed too much in the previous battles, and they were mainly assigned to the second and third brigades. These are the main battleships of the second and third brigades. Therefore, in the main fleet, a thousand tons There are almost no steam engine battleships with tons of tons, and most of them are destroyed in the port, or they are left to serve as port guards and counter-assault missions.

Originally there were [-]-ton steam engine warships, [-]-ton sail warships, and [-]-ton sail warships. After many days of hard work, these warships were sunk or destroyed. The [-]-ton main battleship originally Two or three steam engine warships were severely damaged, and there is still one that cannot go to battle and is lying in the dock.

In the face of the enemy, the fort artillery and shore artillery in Xinxianju Town made their due contributions, but the price was that too many people died.

After they left, Li Ya led Wu Kejing and Zhao Shuai to stand on the top of the wall and watch them from afar.

Tomorrow they will fight the enemy again on land, the first Han brigade, the remaining Han Chinese cavalry squadron, an artillery squadron defending the city wall, and a newly formed mercenary brigade. These are all the combatants here .

The main fleet sailed out of the port. At the beginning, it was only rowed by small boats, secretly driving at a speed of less than one knot. It took a full three hours to sail out of the port. After that, the small boats were put away, the boilers were fired, Slowly began to climb towards the open sea, arrived at dawn, through the detection of enemy patrols and the monitoring of the ships of the auxiliary fleet, the main fleet avoided these enemy warships very well.

The enemy's main fleet will not spend the night around at night, because there is not such a large port for the enemy's main fleet to spend the night, they can only return to the port of St. Pilez for the night, and the next day from the Avala Peninsula, which is more than 70 nautical miles away Come here, so the battle usually starts at ten o'clock in the morning.

It has been like this for more than half a month.

It can cause such a situation and let a main fleet run out secretly. The situation in this aspect is that both sides have figured out the details of each other these days. The British feel that the New Qin Empire has no more troops to show. With a little more effort, the New Qin Empire fleet can be blocked in the port the next day, and then slowly consumed.

Because the defense of the New Qin Empire was so good. After several attacks, the British knew that they could not get in. They just needed to consume the enemy with artillery fire. One day, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, they will be able to The New Qin Empire was pushed away, and in general they fought for more than half a month, not even a month, and they were still rich in time and had a psychological advantage.

The other one is that the people of the New Qin Empire did a great job, they were meticulous in their investigations, and their plans were formulated very well. After the British were sneaked out by the second and third brigades last time, they stepped up their patrols and pressed on. Suppression, after half a month, even the most patient people can't do it without a little slack, and because the second and third brigades are too rampant outside, the British almost dispatched all auxiliary ships. Went to encircle and suppress, so after the main fleet withdrew at night, there would not be many patrol ships nearby even during the day, let alone at night.

The main reason is that after many days of storming, the British relaxed.

On a battleship of the ironclad ship, the flag of the flagship of Molin's first brigade was hung, and Molin was looking at the chart in the command cabin of the ironclad ship.They have now half-fired and are heading towards the straits of both the Proximity Peninsula and the Avalan Peninsula at a speed of eight knots. This requires a large circle to come out of the Proximity Peninsula and travel eastward for about fifteen nautical miles. , Throwing off the first wave of enemy patrols coming out of Marin Port.

Then turn to the southwest and drive to the open sea, about 25 nautical miles. This is a slow speed, and sometimes you need to wait in the dark, waiting for the enemy patrol or reconnaissance ships to pass, and then continue to the open sea for [-] nautical miles. Detour to the depths of the sea [-] nautical miles southwest of the port, avoiding the last patrol from St. Pierre Port.

Then sail at half speed for about 65 nautical miles, and then accelerate to 35 knots two hours before dawn, sprint to the northwest of the strait, about [-] nautical miles, and then turn to the northeast at dawn for [-] nautical miles off the neighboring town. At sea miles, wait here for about half an hour to an hour, and the enemy's main fleet will come.

With the help of the morning fog in the strait and the sun at dawn, the fleet is hidden in the light of dawn, taking advantage, and raiding the enemy's fleet again.

"Two 35-ton sail warships lead two [-]-ton sail warships, and a [-]-ton sail warship, a total of five warships, playing the role of attacking and harassing the fleet, attacking the enemy's auxiliary fleet from the side, and then waiting for the enemy to divide their troops , we quickly jumped out from the sea level at [-] nautical miles, and accelerated towards the enemy.

At this time, the enemy has almost reached 33 nautical miles northwest of the neighboring town. The enemy will not wait for the auxiliary fleet behind, and will definitely throw off the auxiliary fleet and continue bombarding the neighboring town. In this way, we come from the southeast, and we are about 33 nautical miles away from the neighboring town. To 35 nautical miles to face the enemy's main fleet. "

Morin explained his plan for this battle to the 22 captains by means of flickering coal gangue lamps.

The 22 captains listened intently to Mo Lin's explanation. Here Mo Lin has the highest military rank. Of course, they are still using their previous military ranks in the Huaxia Empire. The new Qin Empire was founded, and everything is still the model after the upgrade of the mercenary regiment. , changed a little bit, but some things are still not settled.

In addition to using the military ranks of the Huaxia Empire, they also have high positions and prestige, and they will debut sooner or later.

Needless to say, military rank, except for Tang Yaweng and Li Ya, none of them are colonels. Zhao Shuai's military rank is lieutenant colonel. Later, he was promoted to colonel. , he is a junior, and can only be demoted to lieutenant colonel, and because of his record and qualifications, he only brought a small team to carry out the mission, and his identity is still the status of the liaison officer of the Huaxia Empire to help the New Qin Empire, which does not count at all. In it, people from the New Qin Empire are not counted.

Sa Lei's qualifications are relatively old and his prestige is high. Li Ya used his fleet at the beginning. He is such an old man who understands the western seas and customs, the surrounding pirate forces and commercial forces, so he also let him. As a result, he was in the Morin, who died in the naval battle with the French, had the highest rank in the navy, and also performed well, became the current boss of the navy, the helm of the navy of the New Qin Empire.

Even though there are still several lieutenants in there, because there is no opportunity to stand out, and there is still a chance to lead the army and make contributions independently, so the lieutenant is still unknown until now, but there are a few people who follow the cavalry captain Sao Tianlei, Second Lieutenant Luo Zuo , later Second Lieutenant Jin Lin.

The first thousand and 290 chapters of Wunan meritorious service

Among these second lieutenants, it is not that there are outstanding talents, just like Wu Nan, who is relatively mediocre compared to his family background.Why do you say that?

Because his grandfather was just a militia company commander under Zhang Qiang, the emperor of the Chinese Empire. He escaped from the northern Shanxi Prefecture, the then Dajin Kingdom, and once served as a horseman for the Dajin Mongolian Cavalry in the Dajin Kingdom.

In fact, that is to say, building slaves means that the Han people could not stand the oppression of the Ming Dynasty, and then fled to the Mongolian grasslands, and then were oppressed by the Mongols, and finally became slaves of the Mongols, and with some bravery, they became ordinary Mongolian people The Mongols, like the Jurchen Jinren, distributed these people to their common people. Every family of the common people had Han Chinese slaves from the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, which were their property.

At the age of 40, he fled from Shanxi to Mongolia, took his family with him, and then followed the Jin army to the south. He plundered the Datong area of ​​the Ming Dynasty several times. He learned how to raise horses and became an armored slave of the Mongols, just following behind his master. Pick up the loot, wipe out the ordinary soldiers around the master, or kill the wounded Han people, and then deprive them of weapons and equipment, money and materials, carry them on their bodies, and carry them on their backs. These are the property of the master.

With Hauge’s rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, the Dajin Kingdom was established in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Hebei. At the age of 50, he retired to help his master’s family herd herds. Outside the walls of Datong, his son succeeded him as one of the master’s five slaves. , In the battle with the Qing Dynasty, three of his sons died, and two of them made military achievements and became Mongolian cavalry soldiers, who had become soldiers under the command of a small captain.

In fact, calling him a small team leader was completely inconsistent with the real situation at the time. At that time, the Manchu Qing came to the Central Plains from the barbaric Northeast Nagadazi, and their smallest combat unit was Niulu.

There are 300 people in a Niulu. Niulu is called Ezhen, the title is Ezhen, the actual position is Zuo Ling, and there are two assistants under him, who are called "Daizi" in Manchu; at the same time, each Niulu is divided into four Dadan, Each Dadan was managed by a Zhangjing (Manchu, which means the clerk) and a Pashiku (Manchu, which means the reminder). At this time, the establishment of the Manchurian army was basically formed.

Banners are divided into three types according to their status: Aha, armored men, and banners.Aha is a slave, mostly Han or Korean; armored men are descendants, of different nationalities, and have a higher status than Aha; Qiding is a Jurchen.

And the master of his grandfather in Wunan is a Dadan, which means Zhang Jing. There are about 70 people under him, 20 of whom are Mongolians and armored men, and his grandfather is a haha. He was promoted to the leader of Yiding because of his bravery in combat. As the leader of Yiding in the Aha team, that is to say, he leads a dozen people, all of whom are Han Chinese, newly arrested, and who took refuge in the early days.

In the late period of the Dajin Kingdom, when his grandfather was fighting against Duolong in the Qing Dynasty, he was defeated, fled thousands of miles, and fled to Henan Prefecture, where he was caught and thrown into a prison camp. After five years of miserable suffering, After coming out of the captive camp of the Chinese Empire, they became ordinary people in a village in Henan Province. At this time, their family, as Han people, returned to the territory of Han people again.

His grandfather abandoned his family and came here to marry and have children with a Han woman from the Dajin Kingdom who also escaped from Henan Prefecture. At this time, his grandfather has become a village militiaman, and the militiamen need to contact and transport Food and grass, cleaning the battlefield, guarding against the attacks of the fleeing Dajin and Daqing people, cleaning up bandits, because of bravery in combat, he became a militia leader, which is equivalent to the leader of a 30-member team.
