Lord of Ming Dynasty

The first thousand and 440 chapter two exchanges 2

"I have heard a lot about your struggle history. I am very interested in your struggle, and I also think of our old emperor Zhang Qiang and his struggle history. I think the heroes from our Chinese Empire are all very powerful."

For Li Ya and the others, Zuozhou did not hesitate to use a little compliment. He really felt that it was not easy for Li Ya and the others. It took 20 years to pull a team that was on the verge of death to such a large size, and they are still fighting in Western countries. Into a nail of the Han people, stubbornly resisting the attacks of Western Europeans, and growing stronger and stronger.

"Where, where, it's a joke. We took advantage of the loopholes. Here in North America, especially in Newfoundland, the British or French are not very powerful. If we went to North America, the British and French on land alone The influence of the French made us perish. We developed Xindingzhou, and it took seven or eight years to gain a firm foothold. Up to now, we are only in a state of defense and cannot attack. We can go further.

For example, Zhuang Lin and the others went to Tampico, the Gulf of Mexico in the Caribbean Sea, where under the triple pressure of the French, Spaniards, and British, they were beaten and wiped out, and almost no one was seen. It was only after arriving in Panama that a glimmer of life was found in the cracks of the Spaniards, and it also looked dangerous. "

Zhuang Lin smiled kindly. After 20 years, he was an excellent officer of the Guards who was in his thirties and worked hard to make progress. He also had a trace of official and family background. His beard and hair have all turned white. He is old, his face is full of stubble, and the stubble is also white, but he created a new Han empire in the West.

Seeing the energetic and ambitious Zuozhou, he seemed to see himself who was indomitable and hardworking back then.

"I am here this time, one is to see your development, I also want to see you who have been promoted by the empire many times, from disdain to rejection, to finally accepting you, praising your achievements, what kind of group are you guys? People, the other is that we have the task of cooperating with you this time. To find the fourth prince and the others, the old emperor Zhang Qiang is very concerned about it. One is that the Huaxia Empire wants to establish a peaceful and equal relationship with you, and strongly supports it. Your development here promotes the culture of our Han people and infiltrates the influence of the Han people into the West."

Bowing his head and pondering for a while, Zuozhou continued.

"Then I hope to cooperate with you, support you, and at the same time let's exchange ideas and learn about your advanced naval warfare tactics, naval warfare equipment, and iron-clad ships.

The development of iron-clad ships in the Chinese Empire has stagnated in recent years, the prime minister asked me to greet you, and hope to exchange ideas with you and support each other, I don’t think you like the empire’s backwardness, do you?”

For example, Zhuang Lin and the others went to Tampico, the Gulf of Mexico in the Caribbean Sea, where under the triple pressure of the French, Spaniards, and British, they were beaten and wiped out, and almost no one was seen. It was only after arriving in Panama that a glimmer of life was found in the cracks of the Spaniards, and it also looked dangerous. "

The first thousand and 440 chapters and three chapters of the native narrative of the empire

Zhao Shuai was very happy to hear that Zuozhou brought a reduced-sized telegraph this time. Originally, a telegraph needed a ship to load it, occupying half of the ship, and other places could only store some food and fresh water. , add two cannons, put more than a dozen sailors, and thirty combat crews, the telegraph relay ship has not much capacity, and there are huge steam engines and boilers in the bottom warehouse, just to run fast, every time The dispatch must be escorted by two warships.

And you have to disguise it well, otherwise it will be discovered by the British. It would be bad if such a high-tech thing falls into the hands of the British. The relay ship has been in danger several times. Telegrams have to sail hundreds of nautical miles to the nearest distance to send the telegram, and then return to the voyage. The process is tiring and dangerous.

Moreover, the salt content in the sea is high, the humidity is severe, and the simple wires of the telegraph often have problems and need to be repaired. The telegrams have not sent or received the message several times. This delay is at least one and a half months. I have confirmed it through the communication ship. Only in the future will we know the news that the Chinese Empire wants to deliver tens of thousands of miles away. Many things will be dragged like this. If the volume is reduced, one cabin can be loaded, and the antenna is lowered, then a [-]-ton steam engine ship can be carried. , and there is no need to arrange escorting warships.

They can fight and escape by themselves. When they arranged technicians to communicate with the people of the New Qin Empire in Zuozhou and help them install them, the New Qin Empire had already begun to gather technicians and began to prepare for research in the mountains of the main island. How did it happen? Technicians from all over the country began to transfer to the secret base in the mountains. One call after another was made, and soon the personnel were in place.

The crew on their warships in Zuozhou went to receive the naval combat training of the New Qin Empire, training the use of the Ironclad Ship Type IV, and their technicians went to train the electrical technicians of the New Qin Empire.

Zuozhou and the others entered the New Qin Empire Naval Academy to study. The Chinese Empire has not fought wars for so many years, especially naval battles. The Navy of the New Qin Empire has fought against the British, Spaniards, French, and Portuguese many times. In front of the naval personnel, they appear to be outdated in concept, technology, and tactics.

Zuozhou studied and studied carefully for two months. With his experience in the Chinese Empire Navy, he quickly mastered the combat methods and tactics of the New Qin Empire.

Then he threw away those boring studies and began to take some people to visit Newfoundland. Except for the average climate and some cold and humid, this island is still very good.

The scenery is good, and the fish here are very big, there are many, whether it is fishing or fishing, it is very interesting. In order to prevent overfishing, the New Qin Empire also stipulated that large trawlers were not allowed, and only small nets and small boats were allowed. Fishing grounds are generally protected by patrol fleet ships, at least [-]-ton steam engine warships escorting them. Most of the escorting warships are intern students, and there are only a few old sailors, all of whom are retired sailors and instructors.

Except for some patrol boats and sailing boats in the Naval Academy, these steamships and sailboats are basically rare in the new Qin Empire. There are fishing boats, single-masted or double-masted, at most Three masts, no more are allowed, because they are afraid that they will be used as raid ships for pirates, attacking fishermen and attacking fishing villages, ports, and small piers along the coast.

After all, the sea is too wide, and it is impossible to rely on the patrol fleet to see them all. If the pirates land on the island, with the current communication, basically it will take a few hours at the earliest to know. The nearest telephone station, military station, and communication station are all It is more than ten kilometers away, at least twenty miles away, and a group of retired army soldiers or sailor soldiers are acting. Some of them are retired, and some are still unable to move.

"The scenery here is good," Zhuang Lin said to Zuozhou with a smile.

"Well, it's very good. It's like New Zealand. I've lived there for seven or eight years. The Third Fleet of the Chinese Empire Fleet led by my father was stationed there, but the climate is not as good as here, with strong winds and waves, and the temperature is very humid. And those aborigines could not be killed, until my father led the fleet to leave, and they were basically cleared from that island." Zuozhou looked at the undulating sea, watching the fishermen working hard , said with emotion.

"Your father's name is Luo Zuo. I've heard of it. It seems that he also stayed in the garrison. When I was in the garrison, I was a cavalry soldier. Where did I hear his name? He is a very good man, but I have no chance. See him, he left the garrison when I arrived, and joined the fleet, and they are the rare northerners who serve as sailors."

"Ha, I also admire my father. Now I am learning from him, working hard like him, and making more contributions to the Chinese Empire. I think one day I will be as great as my father."

Zhuang Lin smiled slightly. Ever since he returned to the New Qin Empire, Li Ya and the others felt grateful to him for completing the mission under such difficult conditions, defeating two enemy super fleets, and holding back three enemy super fleets, allowing Wunan to Together with Mo Lin and the others, they were able to break through the enemy's encirclement and bring back a reinforcement fleet of 10 people, allowing the New Qin Empire to develop by leaps and bounds.

The population has jumped from a short 3 to 11. These are Han Chinese, and the number of foreign mercenaries brought back has exceeded 3 to [-], making the number of mercenaries in the New Qin Empire reach [-]. Many skilled craftsmen, workers, and many steam engines, boilers, and other heavy equipment made the New Qin Empire explode so many ironclad ships in a few years.

You must know that the steam engines manufactured by the New Qin Empire were not so fast, and the technology was not so good. It was after these workers and craftsmen joined that they started to explode. They launched one by one, and quickly established their own steam engine manufacturing base. Upgrading, and rapid research and development, and manufacturing. Up to now, more than 300 steam-engined armored warships of the New Qin Empire have been manufactured, and more than 100 have been given to the Chinese Empire. Some have been sunk, but there are still more than 100 that are responsible for the national defense of the New Qin Empire .

"Well, I also want to be like your father one day, an older generation like them who contributed to the empire." Zhuang Lin said to Zuozhou.

"Then, let's work hard together. I am optimistic about you. You are now a colonel, and you will not be far from the general soon." Zuozhou was also very happy.

The ones he is most familiar with and closest to are Zhuang Lin and Lu Fang. Lu Fang is now in Panama, and Zhuang Lin is the officer he is most familiar with at home. He is now in charge of the logistics of the Navy of the New Qin Empire and a squadron of the local fleet. Participate in various affairs of the Navy of the New Qin Empire.

The first thousand 440 chapter four telegram upgrade 1

Zhuang Lin and Zuozhou visited Newfoundland and various parts of the New Qin Empire. It has been half a month later. At this time, Zuozhou and the others have been out for almost a year and a half. Zuozhou and the others are preparing to return. This time, they left with many warships of the New Qin Empire, and at the same time left with many personnel of the New Qin Empire. The Huaxia Empire and the New Qin Empire can communicate with each other.

With the departure of Zuozhou and the others, the New Qin Empire accelerated the research of the telegraph. A month later, the telegraph was developed. According to the practice of the New Qin Empire, five telegraphs were produced as soon as they were researched, and then Zhuang Lin I was ordered to lead a fleet and take technicians to update the equipment of the relay ship. In the middle of the journey, a total of [-] nautical miles, to Turkey, there are a total of five points that need to be updated.

These were produced slightly larger, slightly more complex, but much smaller than the previous kind of equipment, and the signal was much stronger than the previous ones.

However, although the new relay ships have been replaced with new battleships, and the battleships have become the new Ironclad Type III, they still generally form a team of three, because they are afraid that the enemy will intercept and intercept this new technology at sea.

The old relay ship stayed in the port and became a backup relay signal station, which could shorten the distance of signal relay, and transmit the telegram to the other end more quickly, connecting the new Qin Empire and the Huaxia Empire.

The telegrams of the Chinese Empire have to go through multiple stations, about seventeen or eighteen stations, and then sent from Turkey to the Mediterranean Sea, from the Mediterranean Sea to the ship on the coast of Africa, from the ship to the land, from the land to the Atlantic Ocean, and then to the Atlantic Ocean. Through two relays, to the New Qin Empire, it would take half a month at the fastest for a telegram to travel by sea and land, which previously required a month.

Later, after the Huaxia Empire upgraded the equipment, it became ten days, but the new Qin Empire could not upgrade the equipment, because the old emperor Zhang Qiang abdicated, and Yong Wu continued to take over the throne. It took some time for Yong Wu to stabilize the throne, so a lot of time for the New Qin Empire and Huaxia The empires did not communicate with each other. This is why Li Ya and the others did not submit the information of the fourth prince they obtained to the Huaxia Empire, which caused the Huaxia Empire to send a fleet to search for the Fourth Prince and them for a year. This is why they discovered the Spaniards. It is very likely that the British conspired to murder the fourth prince and they communicated for the first time. The previous fleet's restriction and war against the Spanish and British in the Indian Ocean had already begun.

Now that the equipment is fully unblocked, if a telegram is copied and forwarded quickly, it can arrive in three days, and the speed is faster and the signal is clearer.
