Lord of Ming Dynasty

And this also gave the New Qin Empire a chance to develop rapidly. Through trade with the French, they supported the French warships, and the French supported some of their resources. The two companies cooperated very well. Later, the Dutch also came to cooperate with the New Qin Empire When the empire does business, many people cannot resist the pressure of the British in the Caribbean Sea. As a country of commerce, the Netherlands has no reason to insist. What's more, on the coast of North America, if the Dutch ships do not want to be made things difficult by the New Qin Empire, then only It has a good relationship with the new Qin Empire, so two or three years ago, the Dutch surrendered.

The merchant ships of the Dutch also entered and left various ports in Nova Scotia one by one, and some even went to Newfoundland for trading. With the growth of the industry and population of the New Qin Empire, the charcoal of the New Qin Empire, Dyes, linen, various parts of sailing ships, as well as ample captured ships, second-hand warships and merchant ships for sale, benefited the Dutch and French a lot. Imperial Supplement.

They even transported wood and various parts to allow the New Qin Empire to help build merchant ships. The New Qin Empire had many ports. With the deepening of development and population growth, many repair shipyards and shipyards emerged, most of which were There are more than a dozen companies that help build sailboats. Steam engines are becoming more and more commercial ships and warships in Europe. Countries are starting to upgrade them. The fastest replacement is sailboats that are transformed into steamships. Those that can provide transformation It is the mainland of France, the mainland of Spain, the mainland of Portugal, and the mainland of Britain, but they are all on the other side. There is only the New Qin Empire on the Caribbean side.

Moreover, the steam engine ships of the new Qin Empire were built quickly and well, and new ones could be built with good performance, and they could also help plan and design new warships. At the same time, there were many old ships seized by the Spanish, British, and Portuguese for transformation. Therefore, the New Qin Empire became the leader in Europe in shipbuilding, second only to the British, and at the same level as the French, or even higher than the French.

In addition to the seized ones, in the past few years, [-] sailing ships, [-] steam engine ships, and [-] iron-clad ships have been built. The iron-clad ships are all for their own use and will never be sold.

Occasionally, one or two ships will be captured by the British, but the ironclad ships of the New Qin Empire are all upgraded and remodeled one after another.

Today's 128-ton powerful battleship already has six backpack-type artillery, all of which are 75mm cannons. At the same time, the secondary guns are upgraded 24mm rapid-fire guns, 350, with powerful firepower and a range of 800mm. Meters away, the range of the cannon is more than 300 meters, and the accurate range is also [-] meters, which makes it very hard for the British to follow.

With the escort of the first-class battleships captured by the British, and the speed, defense, and firepower of ironclad ships, even though the British have transformed many first-class battleships and learned many advantages of the New Qin Empire, they still cannot beat the New Qin Empire. The difference is getting farther and farther.

The New Qin Empire is thriving, leaving those countries in Europe and North America far away. Their iron-clad ships even surpassed the combat effectiveness of the warships of the Chinese Empire. The New Qin Empire gave its own research to the Chinese Empire and gained a lot from the Chinese Empire. Coal, high-quality steel, and artillery technology, as well as many excellent officers and soldiers of the garrison who were abolished.

Of the 50 Han Chinese, about 7 were obtained from the Huaxia Empire and were given directly, not recruited from exiles. Of course, the main source of population for the New Qin Empire was to choose from exiles. Then they were brought back to the mainland of the New Qin Empire. After observation, selection, study, selection, and merit-based admission, those who were eliminated should be sent back to Turkey and other places, and let them fend for themselves.

Now is no longer the era when hunger is what everyone wants, and the New Qin Empire already has the right to choose.

The Portuguese persisted for a long time, and recently agreed to redeem the captives, and used the Azov Islands to obtain a truce with the New Qin Empire, and started commercial negotiations. An agreement was reached, and it was communicated to the entire sea area off the coast of Europe. Except for pirates, the two countries will not attack any merchant ships of the two countries. When warships meet, they will keep a certain distance from each other and will not fight easily.

That is to say, the Portuguese are still in a delicate state with the New Qin Empire, but business and trade have resumed. The two sides have released a small number of captured personnel from the other side. The New Qin Empire has released 2000 people. There were 500 people released there. This is not to say that the Portuguese looked down on them or were arrogant, but because the new Qin Empire captured by the Portuguese had too few people, not as good as the British. There were at least 8 people captured by the British. People, nearly 3 of them were their captured slaves or other mercenaries, who were used by the New Qin Empire as slaves and captives to fight with ships. During the battle, they could only stay in the bottom warehouse, and they all died when they sank. It can only be preserved if it is captured.

During the battle, unless the boiler room was hit or the bottom of the ship was leaking, the casualties on the upper deck were mercenaries, some handy foreigners, or Han Chinese soldiers and sailors. Sometimes they were safer because they were locked at the bottom of the ship during the battle. Generally, they will not be released easily, for fear that they will seize the ship and rebel.

Later, with the increase of the Han people, many people had nothing to do, so they replaced the slaves and took on the bilge work, because the slaves were also decreasing year by year, and the new captives did not dare to let them on the ship, so they had to be suppressed , It takes a few years of training.

Therefore, the British captured more and more Han people and foreign people in the New Qin Empire, reaching more than 5 people.The naval officers and soldiers of the New Qin Empire also suffered more and more casualties, but overall they were less than two-thirds of the British casualties.

The first thousand and 430 chapters and three rapidly developing empires 2

Zhang Qiang, the traveler, sat alone on the throne of the emperor for nearly 100 years. He didn't let it go until he was a hundred years old. After he let it go, he wandered around the imperial city all day. The more self-improving he is, the less his fear of death becomes. Sometimes he wonders if the only purpose of those who devote themselves to cultivating Taoism or Buddhism is to keep themselves from being afraid when death is approaching, especially Old people who die of old age, this is why the old emperors in ancient times are always fainted in their old age, whether they are alchemy or Taoism.

He didn't care about Yongwu and the others, as if his mission of time-traveling was over, the only thing he cared about was that the fourth warrior still couldn't be found, and the third one sent many people to look for him but couldn't find it.

The warships of the Chinese Empire defeated the British and Spanish fleets in the Indian Ocean last year. The armies of the four Southeast Asian continents of the Chinese Empire crossed the border, descended from the mountains, entered the territory of Bangladesh, and drove out the Indians and Spanish there. People, in order to avenge the Spanish attack on the four princes and their fleet on the road.

All 30 Spanish immigrants and British immigrants, immigrants from other countries, and all [-] indigenous people were all captured, and then transferred to the mainland of the New Qin Empire by land, and made contributions to the colonial territory of the New Qin Empire. For this reason, Spain After two years of arguing with the New Qin Empire, the Spaniards were finally released, but the Spaniards paid for a piece of territory in the Caribbean Sea with a radius of [-] kilometers. This is the land and port opposite Zhuang Lin's port.

The New Qin Empire was ambitious.Just to occupy this place, it is also a fluke to be able to obtain the land and port on the other side through such an opportunity. Although the population and army have increased, the financial burden has also increased. More than 1 troops are not enough to expand to other places. , and don't want to have friction and war with the Spaniards now. Wherever the land is obtained through this opportunity, it is beneficial to both Zhuang Lin and the New Qin Empire.

They controlled the access to the largest lake inland.

The tax revenue received every month has doubled to 65 Spanish gold coins, plus the income of escorts, it has reached 80 Spanish gold coins per month. This has a population of more than 5, more than 1 troops, plus the surrounding Nearly 900 to [-] Mexicans and Spaniards paid taxes, which made the annual income of this territory alone reach more than [-] million Spanish gold coins.

A new territory was obtained, and an army officer and naval officer were quickly dispatched to help take over the new territory. The person in charge of this territory was still Zhuang Lin.

Zhuang Lin recruited 1000 Mexican cavalry, 3000 foreign mercenary army soldiers, 3000 naval soldiers, [-] Han Chinese army soldiers, and [-] Han Chinese naval soldiers to guard the new territory. The town guard is still in the small town of Cologne. .

The two sides exchanged and connected each other through ships, because the surrounding Spaniards were not very powerful, so the New Qin Empire really wanted wind and rain here, and this is the benefit of being strong.

The escorting fleet also includes escorting merchant ships from the estuary of Cologne to the inland Spanish port, because through the large lake, it can go deep into the inland for nearly [-] kilometers. After unloading from where, the inland river can reach deeper place, almost reached another coast, and then went inland to the ports of Mexico and the Spaniards, where they were loaded to sea, entered the Pacific Ocean, and then shipped to other places, or went to the East for trade.

Of course, the Spaniards earned more, because they controlled more waterways, more land, and business routes, whether on land or at sea.

Of course, now that the New Qin Empire has just reconciled with the Spaniards, it cannot be so disregarding face and develop inland.

The New Qin Empire is developing well, but the Spaniards are not as good as the New Qin Empire. Although they earn a lot, they consume a lot. The whole of Spain is going downhill. It is getting bigger and bigger, and the disputes with the French and the British in the Caribbean Sea are getting bigger and bigger. The British robbed many Spanish colonial territories in the Caribbean Sea. The Spaniards almost tried their best to protect the colonies and trade routes. The empire fought, and had to ask the New Qin Empire to escort their merchant ships.

Spend 10,000+ gold coins every month to request to escort merchant ships through the Caribbean Sea to various Spanish ports along the coast. The New Qin Empire received free coal supplies from various Spanish ports, as well as fresh water supplies. Zhuang Lin and the others extended the escort time, and the entire fleet sent the Huaxia Yuan to the various Spanish colonies in the Caribbean Sea. The Huaxia Yuan circulated in various Spanish colonies. Although the circulation was not very high, it was considered to allow the Huaxia Yuan to circulate along the Caribbean coast. It also adds places for them to spend Huaxia Yuan in the future. Many places have begun to accept this kind of currency that looks exquisite, cannot be imitated, and has good credit.

With the use of ironclad ships and mass production, Zhuang Lin and the others sold the converted and captured British second-class battleships to the Spaniards. With these warships, the Spaniards improved their combat effectiveness, and hired Zhuang Lin and their mercenaries Sailors and clans, this kind of employment business also allowed Zhuang Lin and the others to get 10,000+ Spanish gold coins each time, while Spanish gold coins, Mexican eagle silver dollars, and the British gold list were stored in large quantities, and only Chinese dollars were allowed in the territory. , a small amount of Spanish gold coins and British gold pounds can be used for trading, but large-scale ones must first be exchanged for Huaxia Yuan and then traded in their territories and ports.

Years ago, the French exchanged franc gold coins and Huaxia yuan from the New Qin Empire. The franc gold coins were kept and Huaxia yuan was exchanged. Ten third-class battleships, second-class battleships, and first-class battleships were given to the French, and then the French used this fleet to fight the British in a war in the Caribbean Sea. The French won and the British were defeated.

The French set a precedent, and the conflict between the Dutch and the British became more intense. Then, in addition to asking the New Qin Empire to buy merchant ships, sailing ships and steam engine ships under [-] tons, the Dutch bought [-] first-class battleships, [-] Three third-class battleships, and ten second-class battleships, almost emptied most of the previously captured British warships in the New Qin Empire.

But it has gained a certain reputation and prestige, status, and the right to speak for the New Qin Empire in Europe and North America.

The first thousand and 430 chapters six Lu Fang and the others

Besides, Lu Fang and the others, with [-] armored ships of the third modification, [-] British first-class battleships, and a huge fleet of [-] steamships, went down the coast of South America along the coast. Going deep into the sea, every time I stopped many merchant ships to intervene, and friction wars broke out with merchant ships from other countries many times. It took more than a year to explore almost the entire coast of South America, and they did not After finding the traces of the four princes, they turned to the coast of Africa. On the coast of Africa, several large-scale wars broke out with the British fleet.

Although physically and mentally exhausted, the 2000 followers lost more than [-] people, but they actually exercised the team. In addition to being physically and mentally exhausted, they were extremely strong and full of hope and confidence in their hearts, but they But they were not happy about the mission. They had already gone around the whole of Africa, but they did not find any trace of the four princes. They just took in some soldiers and officers who followed about a thousand four princes and their wanderings in Africa.

But from the innermost part of these people, they can only get some news about the big storm, and their own experiences and stories of drifting, but they can't hear the news of the big fleet, just like the thousands of people who took refuge in the New Qin Empire. Lu Fang and the others were very disappointed.

Lu Fang and the others rested for a while in Madagascar, Africa. This is the territory and colony of the French. Now the relationship between the French and the Chinese Empire and the New Qin Empire is pretty good. As long as you give them money, you can rest as much as you want, but Lu Fang and the others are not without it. For money, so many merchant ships and commodities seized midway, as well as dozens of warships, sail warships and steam engine warships, many, many.

Although the French were hot-eyed, they did not dare to snatch it, because there were more than 4000 soldiers and sailors, plus more than 1000 newly added civilians, more than 2000 mercenaries who followed, more than 1000 businessmen who followed, and 3000 prisoners of war. There are many people, more than 2000 slaves on board, this is a team of nearly [-] people, and the armed forces of hundreds of people in the French colonies dare not confront them at all.

Even if it was Lu Fang and the others who wanted to enter the port, it took them half a month. After several exchanges, the French allowed them to dock. However, merchant ships, some of the captured ships, and several warships were able to enter the port, and the other ships were all outside the port. Parked.

Each time, Lu Fang and the others only needed [-] sailors, [-] warriors, [-] mercenaries, [-] slaves, [-] captives, [-] merchants on board, and the others took turns carrying several merchant ships ashore.

A large number of goods and goods, as well as ship repairs, and the consumption of people ashore, made the French rich, and even other indigenous people on the island, because in order to buy food and fresh water for more than 1 people, There is also coal consumption. Lu Fang and the others paid a large amount of goods and sold a few merchant ships to the French to make up enough. They seized a lot, but they didn't have much to eat.

In order to prevent these people from being exhausted, Lu Fang sent 22 steam engine warships, [-] sailing ships, and [-] merchant ships to return to Panama with captives, some wounded, slaves, and purchased slaves. At the same time, he sent seven steam engine ships. Ships, five second-class battleships and three third-class battleships, went to the surrounding coasts to continue searching, and bought coal back at the same time.

Because a lot of coal is needed on board, because they are all steam engine ships.

They also sent a fleet of ten steam engine warships and eight first-class battleships to China to buy steam engines. For more than a year, many of their steam engines have been paralyzed, and spare parts have also been used up.

After three months of rest, the personnel have recovered from exhaustion, the French bought the remaining merchant ships, they got rid of the last burden, and at the same time sold the remaining merchant ships and some steam engine warships to others for trading The merchants and navy of the country, the entire fleet was reduced to the original 35 ships.

But the two fleets sent out have not returned yet, and they have to wait at least two months for the fleet to go to the Chinese Empire, and the fleet that went out to buy goods, food, and coal off the coast of Africa.

But soon, a fleet from the Chinese Empire brought a telegram sent by the Chinese Empire from the New Qin Empire, which was half a year ago, asking them to return to Panama and receive new orders.

This is also a fleet sent by the Chinese Empire looking for the four princes and them.

This fleet is all outdated ironclad ships, with a relatively large tonnage and a speed of only fourteen knots. Not very big, there are only eleven ships. Battleships like this in the New Qin Empire have long since been eliminated.

After the two fleets met, Lu Fang and the others waited for another month and a half before the two fleets returned. After a week of rest, the fleet of as many as seventy battleships set sail.

Of course, there are nearly 500 left-behind personnel left here, and other sailors hired the French, local aborigines and Han Chinese in exile here to facilitate future contact and reception. They have five steam engine warships and seven sailing ships. battleship.

The remaining warships set sail, rounded the Horn of Africa, and returned up the shore.

Then crush the British colonial merchant ships along the way, the British can only dodge, because they are almost beaten internally, the British have too many colonies to guard, and more and more colonies divide the British warships and warships , Although they have more than 2 warships and warships around the world, in the contest with the New Qin Empire, the New Qin Empire alone caused them to lose nearly [-] warships and warships.

Coupled with the Spanish, Dutch, and French sea battles, they lost nearly [-] ships, which was diluted to other colonies, and their warships could no longer defend such a huge territory. Cleaned up, almost cleaned up, there are very few British shopping malls on this route, I just know that Lu Fang and the others are circling this route.

They suffered a small storm on the way and lost a dozen sailboats. After resting for half a month, the fleet set off again, crossed the South Atlantic Ocean, and returned to the coast of South America. At this time, they only had about 50 sailors. In addition to the captives and personnel brought back by the more than 800 merchant ships and warships sent back earlier, their total number of personnel has dropped to about 30.
