Lord of Ming Dynasty

St. Pierre is mainly concerned with the captured enemy naval personnel and combatants on this occasion, a total of 700 people.

The town mainly detains the British and island tribes who attacked us this time, as well as our captives and slaves who escaped earlier.At present, there are 8000 people, and hundreds or dozens of people are captured from the island or the main island every day and thrown into camps. "

Li Ya waved his hand, "How many soldiers are there in our army now? How many people are available to the Navy?"

Tang Yaweng could only stop reporting some things related to property and civil affairs. Speaking of military strength, although he is not in charge of the army, he is also responsible for population statistics, especially the population of soldiers and horses. The population of the people has its own statistics from Wu Kejing, saying: " There are still 1000 Han infantry and more than 450 people, [-] Han Chinese sailors, more than [-] Han cavalry troops, and more than [-] common people. There are more than [-] Han people and more than [-] foreign soldiers. There are more than [-] people in the navy and more than [-] people in the army. They have been used as a supervisory brigade to guard the prisoners with all their strength. Each of the cavalry patrols the adjacent peninsula, and the navy patrols the surrounding hundreds of miles of sea every day."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled wryly. This is a crippled attack. There are not enough guards on the neighboring peninsula, let alone sending troops to the main island.

Li Ya asked again, "How many ships can the sailor move?"

Tang Yaweng looked at Wu Nan and Zhuang Lin, "At present, 31 main warships have been captured, 58 auxiliary warships have been seized, and 120 enemy damaged ships have been dragged back. Only seven main battleships can be activated, and 32 auxiliary warships can be activated. There are more small ships, [-] ships, however, the main force of the Navy can only move some small ships to patrol the outer sea, the inner sea, and the port, and the main battleships are undergoing major repairs, and none of them are capable of fighting."

Zhao Shuai sighed, "It's inevitable to recuperate for a while, let's wait for the reinforcements to arrive."

Li Ya and everyone nodded.

Sao Tianlei glanced at everyone, "We need to reorganize the army and horses, and then leave the guards and horses of the generals. Each general will only take his own guard team to go to various places. I have reorganized the Han Chinese brigade into a garrison army. And the field army, the garrison army has a battalion of 300 infantry, and the field army has a battalion of 300 infantry, but each battalion in the field army has a squadron of 60 cavalry, plus an officer's 380 bodyguard cavalry, each There are [-] field troops in the first battalion.

The infantry garrison has a total of three battalions, one in Xinxianju Town, one in Wente Town, one battalion in the front line, and one battalion in the field army to guard the front line.The rest set up the first battalion of Han Artillery Squadron, 120 people, equipped with artillery, on duty in Xinxianju Town.

Foreigners set up a mercenary army, set up a battalion of infantry to guard the front line, and another battalion joined a small team of Han Chinese cavalry to join the field army.Guard the frontline together.

A Han Chinese cavalry squad is the leader's on-duty guard team, stationed at the camp, plus 50 of the leader's personal guards, a total of 130 people.

The remaining soldiers and horses of the cavalry were used as a cavalry squadron. After throwing away the guards of the generals, there were still 300 people left, which happened to be the former cavalry squadron. Tour around the unit.

During the battle, the cavalry battalion was organized into the field army. The field army was in charge of me, the garrison was in charge of Luo Zuo, and the supervisory brigade was still in charge of Tang Yaweng, but Lieutenant Jin Lin could be in charge of leading the troops, because this was the supervisory brigade formed by the exile squadron. , we must strengthen the supervision of the overseer brigade to avoid rebellion with captives.

As far as the navy is concerned, these Han Chinese are temporarily incorporated into the army. Except for 150 people who are still patrolling at sea for the time being, these 150 people plus more than 22 foreigners should be enough for the time being. A few patrol boats don’t need a large number of Han Chinese to control them , When the reinforcements arrive, we will return the manpower of the navy. About one battalion of the garrison will be converted into a navy army and mixed with foreigners. At that time, we will add some Han people and foreigners who come to help. At least the division can be restored to the pre-war [-] main battleships.

The Auxiliary Fleet can also be filled with people. Didn’t the sailors and horses of the two squadrons of the Second and Third Battalion not rush back from the sea?At that time, the navy will not be short of troops, but our army should be replenished, so that we can wipe out the remaining British forces on the island, and we should wipe them out as soon as possible. "

The first thousand and 310 chapters of the late reinforcements

"Chapter error, click here to report"

"Okay, that's it for the time being, Zhuang Lin, the leader of Morin's injured flagship, you are temporarily acting as the navy, and your rank is promoted to lieutenant, and Wu Nan is acting as the commander of the auxiliary fleet, and your rank is promoted to lieutenant. The ranks of the other army officers and soldiers who performed outstandingly this time They are also promoted. For those who have outstanding performance, the former sergeant major will be promoted to second lieutenant, lead a battalion of troops, or be the captain of a ship.

Sweeping Thunder was promoted to Major, Mo Lin was promoted to Major, and Second Lieutenant Luo Zuo was promoted to Captain. "

After thinking about it, "Chief Wu Kejing is in charge of supplies and food, agriculture, intelligence, and civilian affairs. Chief Tang, you hand over the two items of supplies and food to Chief Wu Kejing. You are responsible for the transfer of prisoners and slaves, as well as military supplies and store.

Leader Zhao is responsible for setting up telegrams and telephones in the territory, and communicating with the outside world. In addition, he is responsible for the construction, repair and maintenance of the railway. Lieutenant Jin Lin will cooperate with Leader Zhao to use slaves. The railways built in our territory will be restored, and the purchased locomotives, carriages, and pack horses will arrive soon.

After leader Wu Kejing received the supplies, he distributed them to leader Tang Yaweng. After leader Zhao led the supplies, he mobilized a team of supervisors through Jinlin as soon as possible to drive the slaves to restore the railway.

The [-]st Battalion of the Field Army and the [-]st Battalion of the Cavalry will open the passage to Fort Swift-Current as soon as possible, and then retake Fort Swift-Current. This is an extension of our strategy, where is our cavalry stuck? The tentacles of the investigation can be extended to Gubisburg, and we will take the entire Newfoundland in one fell swoop in the next step. "

Tang Yaweng scratched his head, a little unhappy, his rights were diluted by Zhao Shuai, Wu Kejing, and Jin Lin, and now he can only be responsible for the deployment and transfer of military supplies, which means that he has become a logistics officer again, although he can still manage The allocation of materials for the navy and the army, but the power has been greatly reduced, and all the things in the warehouse that he spent a year and a half developing were allocated to Wu Kejing.

Li Ya looked at him and smiled, "Boss Tang, how is our ally?"

"Oh, four villages of the Indian tribe were destroyed. Except for the Indian naturalized soldiers and officers in the army, all the Indians were slaughtered by the tribal fighters in the rebellious captives. The Iliad tribe resisted tenaciously , also lost most of the old people and women, young and strong, and the remaining manpower was either in the army or in Xinxianju Town. It can be said that in this battle, our allies were defeated, and the rest were completely defeated. Our mercenaries are gone. The total force is less than 200 people, two tribes."

Tang Yaweng said in a low voice, a little sad.

Li Ya raised his hand and waved, "Go to comfort the soldiers of the two tribes in the army and the chief of the army, and then give some rewards. There are still some Iliad tribes on the island, although there are not many, waiting for us Capture them and let them restore the tribe. The Indians are simple and the island has a large population. At least a few thousand people can be produced. If not, let them join the Indian tribe in the swamp. If they don’t want to join, Let them become our Han people. Find them some Han women, marry and have children, and those Indian women have found many of our Han soldiers, and they have left some population for them.”

Everyone knows that in such a battle that lasted for more than a month, even the Han, the largest tribal group, could not be spared. There were more than 4000 Han people, including some captured British, artisans and craftsmen who were captured and transformed by Europeans. It cannot be spared. The small Iliads and Indian tribes are only a few villages with nearly a thousand people. If they can be spared, there are still some Han and British who came from the Avalan Peninsula to attack them, causing chaos, and making them powerless. Fighting, while the new Qin Empire in custody lost sight of one another.

This led to the defection of a large number of captives and slaves.

After finishing speaking, everyone discussed some things. Two days later, the troops were reorganized, and then the defensive areas were exchanged. Guns, ammunition, food, and horses were redistributed. The armies returned to the newly divided garrisons.

The navy still returned to the water village, which was in ruins at this time, Jin Lin sent a squadron to escort [-] captives to let them rebuild the water village, while the supervisory brigade turned around and handed over the prisoners to Under the care of the navy.

300 people from the Overseer Brigade brought 300 mercenary foreign fighters who were willing to accept the slave conversion of the New Qin Empire, and 1 original mercenary fighters, forming three battalions, a total of 1000 soldiers and horses in one brigade There is really no way for the captives, and they dare not relax for a moment, otherwise, if [-] people are attacked, [-] people will become flesh.

There are 150 Han people in the navy, plus more than 20 Han officers and more than 40 mercenary officers. They have to manage 150 mercenary foreign soldiers. These people have been tested, most of them are other Europeans or Central Asians, and a small number of British People, their loyalty was fully demonstrated in this naval battle, so there is no need for a large number of Han Chinese to take care of them, [-] Han Chinese naval officers and soldiers are enough.

A navy team of 950 people can only drive two 650-ton steam engine battleships. If it is a sail warship, it is almost, um, it can be operated, but the battle still requires gunners, maintenance technicians, and coal filling operations. Handymen, and some cooking, cleaning the deck, carrying shells, and food supplies, there are not [-] people, it is impossible to fight.

During the previous naval battles, manpower was constantly transferred. Some jobs could be done by captives, and some jobs could be done by slaves. Of the 850 foreign sailors, about 150 were promoted from slaves. Most of them were British. The British did not have us. Thinking so patriotic or rigid, many people quickly defected, and then acted as gunners or handymen, boiler workers, and even mechanics and maintenance personnel.

The more than 1000 remaining captives helped the New Qin Empire fight against the British in the land battle. These people were Newfoundlanders who accepted their fate, and some British immigrants also made great contributions in this fight against the British invasion. Some The injured were added to the common people and became the common people here, and some people were added to the supervisory brigade.

The second battalion of the Overseer Brigade has a battalion composed entirely of these people, another battalion is composed of Han Chinese from the exile brigade plus loyal slaves promoted, and the other battalion is composed of Han Chinese from the exile brigade. suppress these people.

The construction on St. Pierre Island was under their supervision. More than 6000 captured British sailors rebuilt the port wharf that was smashed by them and the warships of the New Qin Empire, as well as living places, and some Fortifications.

Just as the New Qin Empire was slowly recovering after the war, all the members of the second and third squadrons of the second and third brigades, which had been sent out to defend the telegraph relay island and protect the telegraph relay ships, returned to the island. The two squadrons were a little tired , because they received the telegram, it took them a month and a half to rush back to the New Qin Empire. For this reason, they encountered a storm, damaged a 120-ton sailing warship, and sank a [-]-ton steam engine without coal. The battleship lost [-] Han Chinese and [-] prisoners.

The first thousand and 310 chapters two thousand people come to help

Second, a few days after the fleet sent by the third squadron to guard the telegraph relay ship on the island returned, the reinforcements from the Chinese Empire were long overdue.

The reinforcements still came from Turkey, passed through the Mediterranean Sea, passed through the Strait of Gibraltar, and crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Newfoundland.

About 80 merchant ships of [-] tons, plus [-] experimental steam engine warships purchased from the Mediterranean Sea, about [-] Han Chinese, pure Han Chinese came to the New Qin Empire.

Although these people were also exiled, most of these people are Han Chinese from the mainland. Many people are still loyal to Huaxia. There are no criminals or anything. They are relatively pure. There are also some ideological and language issues that have been brought here.

They were escorted by a cavalry regiment from Central Asia, with about [-] soldiers, and these cavalry regiments were also given to the New Qin Empire as a whole.

At the same time, they brought a lot of artillery from the Chinese Empire, decommissioned guns and ammunition, and an early exile mercenary regiment in Turkey with about a thousand people. The Han people in the team.

The arrival of this troop not only increased the population of Han Chinese here, but also brought many women and children, as well as the family members of those who were exiled in the early stage. There were four thousand women and women in their prime of life, five hundred old woman.At the same time, there are more than 500 old people, [-] young people in their prime of life, and the cavalry regiment are real soldiers of the Chinese Empire, and their families will send them over later.

Two thousand inmates and their family members were also sent here.

Now, the population of Han people here has increased to more than 8000.It took half a month to resettle these people.

Then there is the distribution of work. Many Han craftsmen were assigned to better workshops, and their families also moved in together. At the same time, a small town was built not far from Winter Town, where many people were resettled, and a military camp in the town was resettled. The new cavalry regiment.

The mercenary regiment of 2000 people and their families were placed on the front line, under the command of Luo Zuo.

Because they came all at once, after Li Ya and the others discussed it, they still wouldn't let them be incorporated into the current military system, but let Wu Kejing manage them first.

The prisoners selected people to build a small town in Xinxianju Town, a small town outside Xinxianju Town, outside Wente Town, not far from the front line, and then set up a camp. These prisoners separated, Assigned to these places, first act as a teacher, and send the school-age youths, children, and teenagers on the neighboring peninsula to impart knowledge there, which is equivalent to building several new schools.

Building a new school is not a difficult task for officers of the New Qin Empire. Originally, Tang Yaweng did a good job and had a lot of materials. How could the New Qin Empire, with [-] captives, be short of people?

In one day, in addition to the [-] captives assigned to the navy, the remaining [-] captives were divided into several groups, logging, quarrying, transporting, digging foundations, and mixing materials. The craftsmen in the village began to work on the second day, and on the fifth day, seven schools were built.

After seven or eight days of drying, nearly [-] children and [-] youths from the Far Eastern Huaxia Empire, [-] children from the New Qin Empire, and [-] youths were assigned to different schools, and those among the [-] prisoners who had served as Officials from the education system of the Chinese Empire organized to teach.
