Lord of Ming Dynasty

If no countermeasures are taken, the New Qin Empire will really kill them in the process of growth.

After Wunan and the others left, Jin Lin received an order to bring [-] Han Chinese soldiers aboard the ships of the First Squadron of the Auxiliary Fleet to Prince Edward Island.

At this time, Prince Edward Island has been well-built. Every thirty kilometers along the coast of the island, there is at least a village, or a military depot, or a workshop, or a repairing place in a place close to the ocean that is suitable for living. The gathering point of the road, the gathering point is like the top point of each keel on the fan surface, and then along this point you can go deep into the interior of the island.

The mercenary leader Johns Nelson handed over to Jin Lin the command of the entire new Qin Empire occupied place.

After five or six people sat down, Jin Lin was the head, because he was the leader of Prince Edward Island appointed by the New Qin Empire. official title.

A few people were chatting, and Jin Lin suddenly called out, "What did we do wrong?"

"Yes," Johns Nelson didn't know why he was surprised, but after Song Qing explained, he understood, "Yes, we got it wrong, this is not Prince Edward Island, this is Nova Scotia, it is The Arcadia area where the British immigrated, but most of them were French immigrants. The British immigrants have been driven away by us. The French immigrants are still close to the inland, so we have no contact with them. In addition, it is divided into Nova Scotia and Peninsula. Cape Breton Island, which is about 260 kilometers away from our St. Pierre Island, is opposite Cape Breton Island, and the surrounded place not far from the mainland is Prince Edward Island."

"Forget it, let's call it Xindingzhou in the future. The bottom will still be Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, and Prince Edward Island. There is no need to change it. Send someone to tell the empire about this matter and the conclusion." Jin Lin To Song Qingdao.

The first thousand and 390 chapters of the new Dingzhou role 1

In this way, Xindingzhou became another county of the New Qin Empire. Because the territory of the New Qin Empire was small, the administrative level was set small. At present, there is no county seat for the main island, but county-level administrative levels for the two prominent peninsulas. Although the adjacent peninsula is small, it is the center of the new Qin Empire. The Avalan Peninsula is actually an independent island, but there is a narrow land route connecting it to the main island of Newfoundland. Therefore, although it is an island, it can only It is called a peninsula, but after the county seat was established, it was changed to Xinbaodao County.

A county is set up in a place that is not as big as a town that is slightly larger than the Huaxia Empire, and a county is set up in a peninsula that is not as big as a small county. Even the capital is not a capital now, but a central administrative center, but a county is set up. By the sea, which is characteristic of the island nation.

Li Ya has not yet decided what system to use to build the entire New Qin Empire. Therefore, the administrative system, official ranks, and military officer ranks are all temporary adjustments. They will be improved when they think of it. Usually, everyone calls him The leader, the leader is also called in a meeting.

Xindingzhou is a good island, not as big as Newfoundland, but the advantage is that it borders the North American continent, and its future development will definitely be better than Newfoundland.

Of course, the resistance is also great, because the British in Nova Scotia on the island and the French on the other half of the island are difficult to deal with, and there are French people in other places who are difficult to deal with.

Now we are going all out against the British. We must first win the British here before we can provoke the French and Spaniards. Otherwise, the small island of Newfoundland can’t bear it. The French and the British are just expelled. , the war has not yet been escalated to the point where it can be attacked with all the power of the country.

If it is the power of the country, let alone Britain, the French warships cannot handle it.

As Xindingzhou stabilized, coal and timber were continuously transported, and the coal reserves of the New Qin Empire continued to increase. The port of Xindingzhou would also become a foothold for ships of the New Qin Empire to dock overseas in the future.

Because there is ample supply of coal, Morin wants all the ships to dock in the future. By the way, he brings back some coal every time, which can bring a lot of coal to Newfoundland every year. The main island and Xinbaodao County The coal production in the country is too small, and it can only maintain the output of all ships sailing to sea for a month. In order to reduce this loss, in addition to all ships going out to perform missions, there are also steam engine ships patrolling the coast. Ships with almost no missions are generally just It is docked in the port for maintenance, and never uses much coal. Although the Xinqin Empire has purchased as many as 100 million tons of coal, they are stored in Xinbaodao County and Xinxianju Town respectively, and some of them are scattered to various ports to meet the usual needs. A ship or two for the task of stoking coal.

Now there are about 100 steam engine warships in the entire New Qin Empire, each carrying dozens to one hundred tons, and [-] million tons is enough for a powerful fleet to sail for a long time.

But because there is no outside foothold, the coverage radius of the steam engine warships of the New Qin Empire is only about [-] nautical miles, and the diameter is only [-] nautical miles. It costs too much to maintain a navy.

Not only the population pressure, but also the pressure of the number of naval officers and soldiers. Raising a navy of more than 1 people is already the maximum limit of the New Qin Empire. Because of the support of slaves and captives, the New Qin Empire is still under pressure. If we can support it, the population and military strength will increase in the future, but the income and various resources are not much, and we still cannot support a larger fleet, so we can only take the high-quality route.

Of course, there is another way, which is to expand to places rich in resources, but now the New Qin Empire has no plan to expand to land, at least not now, but only 11 people, and the full force is no more than 3. It is still militaristic, almost All young and strong people on the island have to join the army to meet the strength of 3 people. We are talking about the strength of Han Chinese and some mercenaries. Captives and slaves are not counted, because their loyalty cannot be guaranteed. The only one they are loyal to The way is to perform well, to be promoted to the supervisor of some workshops or mines, and then to perform well after a few years, and to be allowed to become a commoner before being eligible to become a mercenary.

Mercenaries are also divided into internal civilian mercenaries and external mercenaries who are directly recruited. They work with money and are dismissed after finishing the work. Where to go.

The internal mercenaries are the foreign population of the New Qin Empire except for the Han Chinese.

Many of these foreign populations have died or been consumed due to years of fighting, and many disabled people or people who are not suitable for war have become civilians.

Their next generation has not yet grown up, so there are fewer and fewer mercenaries, internal foreign mercenaries.

Today's internal foreign mercenaries are only five or six thousand. Although it seems that they account for a lot, compared to the past, most of them are foreign mercenaries. At a time when there were few Han people, foreign mercenaries are now getting smaller and smaller. This was deliberately done by the New Qin Empire. To create a replica of the Huaxia Empire with a Han Chinese population, it had to implement policies similar to those of the Huaxia Empire. This is why the Huaxia Empire spared no effort to support the New Qin Empire.

The Chinese Empire does not want the country established by the Han people to be stolen by foreigners, just like the black people of later generations will never allow the Dutch and Germans to become the masters of their country, even if the management is not in place. countries of the Westerners upon whom they were built.

As a time traveler, Zhang Qiang hopes to extend the influence of the Han Empire to the West, Europe, and North America, just like what the British, a thousand-year-old crap stick, has done in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East for hundreds of years. When the time comes, the Han people will suppress the West. His strong historical line cannot become a weak historical line for the Westerners to suppress the Han people. This is his mission to cross.

Being able to lay mines in the western world is his greatest mission.

In the future, even if the Chinese Empire dies because of their generation and has some influence, there will be a Han country in the Western world, which can force and suppress the influence of the Western world on China.

The output of coal in Xindingzhou has reached the three-month output of the local coal output of the New Qin Empire. The coal can produce [-] tons of coal. Of course, the cost is more. Thousands of slaves are digging day and night. Sorting, cleaning, transportation, and thousands of slaves are repairing roads, thousands of slaves are rushing to build ships and ports, using large-tonnage sailing ships, about [-] tons each, and can be dispatched once a week on average. Each ship can transport about [-] tons of coal back to the mainland of the New Qin Empire, Newfoundland.

Three sailing ships transported [-] tons of coal to the New Qin Empire in a week.

Each time there are two steamships from the Auxiliary Fleet Squadron to escort.

Every time, it is necessary to transport the coal back from the small British village where Zhuanglin and the others landed on the island, which is more than 700 kilometers away. Now it is a large port to transport coal back. It is about 380 nautical miles. Now that the peninsula is still occupied by the French, it is only 260 kilometers to reach St. Pierre Island, only about 180 kilometers to reach Xinxianju Town, and only [-] nautical miles to sea. Coal transported back.

Chapter 390, The Role of Xindingzhou 2

Ships are moored in ports, coal resources are supplied, shipbuilding timber resources are supplied, and gypsum ore resources are supplied. It can also provide French and Spanish merchant ships to dock and collect taxes. For the New Qin Empire, it is a good place to open source , but also a springboard to the North American continent.

This is the first territory of the New Qin Empire far away from the mainland. Although it has not occupied all of them, the goal must be to occupy them all. Now, in order not to provoke the French, after all, although the French fought the New Qin Empire, the New Qin Empire He also did not continue to fight the French, and signed an armistice agreement, which was not too strict, because Governor Siegfried was not someone the French valued too much. The mercenary regiment of the predecessor of the Qin Empire was defeated, but he made a lot of money in the subsequent trade, and also promoted the trade between France and the new Qin Empire.

For the French at this time, there were too many troubles, and they would not notice the new Qin Empire rising in one place, nor would they notice a small country in a remote place, that is, the French did not fully understand the New Qin Empire. Only the French around Siegfried and some French merchants and adventurers who sailed on the sea traded with the New Qin Empire. The situation is similar in Spain.

Although there was a battle with the British at sea, the transmission of information in this era is too slow. It is estimated that it has only been transmitted to the two countries after nearly half a year. It is estimated that many people do not know it yet. Only some merchants at sea And similar navies know that other people don't know who defeated the British, and this influence has not yet come out. Even the new Qin Empire has been established for a long time, and it has been ten years since the founding of the country.

With the establishment of Xindingzhou, coal was dug out every day, and slaves died in large numbers. The New Qin Empire needed more slaves to complete the increase in coal production.

I had to send another batch of slaves here from the main island, but the original slaves were finally scared. Many people chose to be loyal to the new Qin Empire and became the overseers of the new slaves. The British have not yet contacted the Chinese Empire, and while the war between the two sides is still going on, they can only continue to undertake this kind of hard work with a high mortality rate.

At the beginning of the New Qin Empire, a total of nearly 10,000+ captives and hundreds of thousands of local indigenous slaves were captured. After nearly two years of transformation, about 20 local Indians were converted into common people, and 18 of the population of other tribes were converted into local people. , and the others were either killed or became slaves. There were at least [-] slaves, and now there are only [-]. That is, after two years of war with the British, those slaves did not die in naval battles. Either they were captured by the British, or they were exhausted while working, or they were executed for violating the regulations.

In the development of Xindingzhou, nearly 5000 people died in these coal mining, gypsum mining, cutting down the giant wood resources here, fishing at sea or patrolling the coastline, or conflicts with the local French, and the remaining more than 3000 People chose to be the overseers of the new [-] slaves or the small leaders of the overseers. Of course, those who performed well were promoted, and those who were stubborn were still sent to the most miserable places. They were not released and continued to work. until the class dies.

With the development of roads, the construction of roads, the construction of the railway line that will be launched immediately, and the arrival of more slaves, the development of Xindingzhou has been on a new track, but there are more slaves who died, and many slaves who performed well It was organized into a team similar to the previous supervisory brigade, which was managed by 3000 mercenary regiments, but this slave supervisory team had more than [-] people, so many slaves were transformed into the military force of the New Qin Empire.

The long-term lack of expectation and exhaustion forced most of the slaves and captives to surrender and became a military force of the New Qin Empire. Although the loyalty was not high, it still developed into a usable force. Although there were more and more people fleeing Yes, because this is connected to the North American continent, and not far away is the colony of the French and the British, so the only thing the slaves can do is to escape.

But the New Qin Empire is not afraid. The current strength on the island is sufficient to deal with the first large-scale war launched by the French or the British on land.

I was afraid of death before, but under the pressure of fatigue and death, many slaves are looking forward to change. If you don’t die, you can only submit. This made the New Qin Empire set up a slave overseer brigade with two regiments. They were originally diehards of the British, Newfoundlands, and Inuit. They were the original soldiers and officers. They were established to suppress slaves in peacetime, and they could immediately be used as troops to fight in wartime.

On top of the slave brigade, there is also a brigade of external mercenaries transformed from captives, about 2000 people, who are more pleasing and close to the people of the New Qin Empire, just like the British who defended the main island of Newfoundland in the neighboring peninsula. Immediately after Jin Lin arrived, he built a defense line from the island to the North American continent, built three camps, and expanded from the camp to a castle, and from the castle to a closed military defense line.

These captive mercenaries were assigned 500 people, as well as 500 people from the slave brigade, and a regiment of Han people. More than 1000 people were stationed separately in three castles to guard this line of defense.

At the same time there was defense against the French on Cape Breton Island, where a battalion of Han Chinese was stationed, as well as a battalion of captive mercenaries, a battalion of slave mercenaries, four thousand regular troops of the New Qin Empire on the island, Three thousand Han Chinese regiments and more than 1000 mercenary regiments were stationed in various ports, or traffic arteries, and military fortresses.

Then there were about two battalions of Han troops to guard the captives, and two battalions of mercenary battalions to govern the captive brigade and the slave brigade.

There are also two battalions of more than 500 naval officers and soldiers stationed in important ports and Jinlin, their naval headquarters on the island.

With the increase of slaves and captives, the New Qin Empire dispatched another new Qin Empire Han regiment, a naval battalion, and at the same time dispatched ten training patrol sailboats and steam engine ships driven by naval trainees. The ship came over to help some offshore patrols, and taught while patrolling, learning how to actually fight.

Because of the arrival of the New Qin Empire, the French on Cape Breton Island can only trade goods or leave here through French merchant ships. They have seen the ambitions of the New Qin Empire for Nova Scotia, and even some Prince Edward Islands The British also left here quickly, so day by day, the French on the island and the French and British on Prince Edward Island, which is more than 100 nautical miles away, are getting less and less.

Therefore, the three islands classified as Xindingzhou can basically be said to be in the pocket of the New Qin Empire.Of course, there are still some lucky British and French who are unwilling to leave. This will be a conflict and hidden danger with these two countries in the future.

The first thousand and 390 chapters three strong sea breeze

There are 9 iron-clad ships, five iron-clad ships, Type II iron-clad ships, and the ocean-going reconnaissance fleet led by Lu Fang, four ocean-going reconnaissance ships, and ten steam engine warships. Food and fresh water supplies, came to Korvo Town to rest, they wandered in the sea for a week, attacked the British blockade fleet, and wiped out a dozen British sailing warships and nearly [-] merchant ships in the form of guerrilla warfare , and brought back eight merchant ships.

Hundreds of down-and-out British prisoners, as well as immigrants or businessmen and civilians from other countries who took merchant ships.

Korwu Town is now well established. When the original thousands of captives stayed here, they cleaned up the port and dark beaches here, and then built simple docks, deep-water berths, and several docks for repairing ships. , Also built a lot of houses on the island, garrison camps, and reclaimed a lot of farmland, planting corn and some fruit trees.
