Lord of Ming Dynasty

The Huaxia Empire is facing the embarrassment of how to sell these thousands of warships that have been replaced. The Huaxia Empire enjoys doing this kind of trading, but there are no other countries around, so they can only sell these warships. The ships were pushed to the immigrants and officers and soldiers of some remote islands who were expanding and immigrating overseas at full speed, allowing them to use these ships in the offshore for defense or commercial trade.

Under such circumstances, the 10 immigrants who had been preparing for a long time also set off and arrived in the New Qin Empire. The New Qin Empire had previously received a group of Han immigrants, and this time it received another [-] Han immigrants.

With the arrival of these 10 people, the mainland could no longer accommodate them, so Xindingzhou welcomed another 3 Han Chinese. The number of Han Chinese in Xindingzhou increased from the original 5 to more than 6, and Panama also ushered in The remaining 6 people, the arrival of 5 people, made the city with only 5 people more crowded. There are 6 Han Chinese in the [-] people. This time an increase of [-] people, each of the two cities has There are [-] Han Chinese.

The increase in the number of Han people has made the two colonies more firmly in the hands of the New Qin Empire and the Huaxia Empire. Compared with the population, the entire West is not as fast as the population of the Huaxia Empire. The population is large and the base is large, just 20 people , it will not hurt the bones at all, this time it is the population from the core area of ​​the mainland, not the population with bad records drawn from Central Asia, Siberia, and some governorships last time, the loyalty of these people to the Han dynasty is higher Much taller.

Jin Lin and Lu Fang spent half a year arranging and handling their conflicts and disputes with the original Han people, so that they basically settled down and accepted the identity of the new Qin Empire.

The first thousand and 440 chapters and seven Wunan in the Azores 1

"How is our side?" Wu Nan came back half a month after attending the officer corps meeting from the New Qin Empire, and the first thing he said was to ask his adjutant.

"Are the British still quiet these days?" While taking off his military uniform, he took the towel handed over by the guard, just wiped his face, wiped it quickly a few times, and closed his eyes slowly.

This is the upper half of the North Atlantic Ocean, almost in the center, and its strategic position is very important. The British will never give up, and the Portuguese have tried it several times. He dare not take it lightly, and always put himself in a state of tension , Even if I go back to the meeting, I miss this place every day.

"The Portuguese often send merchant ships over for trade. We have detected some people who are plotting against the law, but we have not found any conspiracy now. We are not bad at preventing it. There are fifteen ironclad ships of type III and five of type II left behind, and seventeen The first-class battleship captured by the British and three second-class battleships are stationed on various islands, within a radius of [-] nautical miles, with Hero Harbor as the center, no one can break through our defenses and rush in."

Wu Nan's adjutant answered calmly with a businesslike face and voice.

Wu Nan likes this subordinate who can do things well and doesn't have to express his opinion on anything. He likes to make decisions by himself and doesn't need his subordinates to provide too many opinions.

"The British attacked our merchant ships twice, but we stopped them in time. We captured two British merchant ships, but we let them go after paying tolls and berthing fees. According to your opinion, we ease As for the relationship with the British, try to ensure the safety here." The adjutant said.

"Well, well done. Sometimes it's not war that can solve all problems. You learn to compromise. It's the same with other countries. Try to fight without breaking. Now we are not what we used to be. We have a big family and a big business. One local, three Overseas territories, the British already have many places where they can attack us if they want to catch us. Our territories are too far away to rescue each other. You should also remember, don’t let people trick you out, surround them, and try to stay within the range of the fleet Act within, don’t be impulsive.”

While eating, Wu Nan listened to the adjutant's report.

"Is the old telegram settled?" Wu Nan asked.

Adjutant: "It has been settled. The highest mountain is about 300 meters high. We have erected an antenna more than 300 meters high, and installed a light signal on it. It is close to the port and can guide nearby fleets and ships. High-power power generation equipment. There is a battalion of marines in the garrison, and there are more than 50 technical personnel in it to guard in shifts.

The backup is two new telegraphs, which can be replaced at any time. The new telegraphs are in the cave, and there are 30 guards in the cave. We also have cavalry patrolling around. No one is allowed within a radius of fifteen miles. Enter.

Coupled with the terrain, ordinary pirates can't get in. A strong attack can at least last until the harbor defense team passes by. The nearby villages are all our Han villages. Each village has at least ten retired veterans and twenty horses. Reinforce and eliminate nearby infiltrating enemies. "

After Wu Nan finished eating a plate of sturgeon, he ate a few jujubes. The sour taste allowed him to keep his head clear, and the stimulation of the sour taste made his central nervous system active for a while. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then After wiping his hands, he threw it to the guard next to him, pushed away an antique brown chair from England, and stood up. Naturally, a tall guard brought him a clean military uniform, and put on a dagger inlaid with blue diamonds. , stepped out, and at his stage, he no longer needed to fight himself.

Three shining diamond-shaped golden squares adorned his red collar, and his sky-blue navy uniform, coupled with his tall and burly figure, made people feel a kind of majesty that belonged to him.

Wearing a big hat and holding a dagger, he walked out of the Portuguese Governor's Palace building here. A carriage was parked in the yard, and four tall, chestnut-colored British horses pulled the luxurious carriage that was once the governor of the Portuguese Hero Port. , got into the carriage, and the guards quickly drove to the port. Inside the port, they were loading and unloading the supplies he brought back from the New Qin Empire this time.

The telegraph was brought by the fleet last time, and one was arranged for each island. Nine islands were connected to each other by using nine telegraphs to form a network that can communicate with each other. As long as they are not destroyed by the enemy, the enemy will not Occupy any island at will.

Each island has at least one first-class battleship, a [-]-ton steam engine battleship, and the others are [-]-ton steam engine battleships. Of course, sometimes there are armed merchant ships, which are patrol boats equipped by soldiers stationed on the island. Sometimes it can be used as a warship for early warning and protection of fishermen here.

Fishery resources and entrepot trade are the two most important industries in this archipelago. Many European merchants store their goods in warehouses here, and then trade with merchants from North America and the Caribbean, or trade with merchants from Africa. , or in the opposite direction, the New Qin Empire also has a lot of goods to be transferred here, as a temporary cargo distribution center, or a sheltered port for ships, berthing ports, and supply ports.

There are a total of 35 standard-equipped Type [-] ironclad ships, as well as other types of ironclad ships that Wunan and others have used before, [-] Type [-] ironclad ships and five Type [-] ironclad ships left behind, as well as [-] first-class captured British ships. Battleships, three second-class battleships are stationed on various islands, and some steam engine ships that are often stationed here are sold to foreign merchants and Han merchants of the New Qin Empire who live here, as well as sailboats and sailboats of some large fishermen and merchants. Small tonnage steam engine ship.

Or there are armed merchant ships and merchant ships of foreign merchants. There are no less than [-] ships in Hero Port every day, and there are dozens of ships at the most. It can be said that there are many masts and the atmosphere of commercial trade is very strong.

Armed forces from foreign countries allow up to 30 people to go to the shore at a time, and are not allowed to carry weapons. The patrols in the port and the city are carried out by retired navy soldiers, and some important places are stationed, patrolled and defended by marines.

When foreign businessmen live and trade in designated areas, Han people will not enter easily, and foreigners will not easily enter Han areas, except of course the foreign people of the New Qin Empire. Yu, or became a citizen of the New Qin Empire. With the identity statement issued by the New Qin Empire, they can freely enter and leave the Han area, and the Han can also go to the foreigner area, but they must report to prevent them from happening. Navy foreign mercenaries entered the alien area to look for them.

This is to prevent enemy infiltration and attack.

The first thousand and 440 eight chapters of Wunan in the Azores

The 35 ships are the main fleet under the command of Wunan here. Generally, they don’t go out, they just go out to sea for regular patrols, and they stay at the port for repairs at all other times. This is a strategic force. The other warships are responsible for daily patrols and getting supplies from the mainland. And ship some merchandise back from here.

Many people in the port were watching. On the roofs of the European attics of Portuguese-style buildings, many people watched all this with vigilance and envy. When they arrived at their respective warehouses, a coastal defense cannon was dragged off the floating boat. The slaves held it in their hands, carried it on their shoulders, and dragged it to the open space with a thick hemp rope, and then loaded it into a large special carriage.

These shore artillery made the Portuguese's hope of regaining here more and more elusive, and made the British who wanted to attack feel desperate, because as time went by, the shore artillery fortifications here became stronger and more cannons were added.

Their hearts are getting heavier and heavier. At the beginning, they strongly wanted to take it back. Later, after a few defeats, many people have begun to think of other ways, including sending many spies here to investigate every move here. Because here is basically open.

Because it is a transit port, even though some military places are well-prepared, other places are still very loose. At least it is quite fair here, only berthing fees and some low-level taxes are charged, and there will be no cargo commissions. , Inspector, as long as you don't resist here, it doesn't matter if you take muskets to the streets.

Taxes are collected according to the size and tonnage of the ship. A ship has a fixed amount of tax according to its size and tonnage, and no other fees will be charged.

It can be said that it is much more relaxed than during the Portuguese rule, and the New Qin Empire has built a lot here, providing a lot of services, pubs, restaurants, inns for accommodation, drinks from various countries, and horse racing, various horse racing competitions, various The commercial area favored by sailors is where everyone spends their money. Through these Heroic Ports, the Heroic Port under the rule of the New Qin Empire can be said to be very popular with sailors from all over the world.

The fee is low, the tax is low, and there are many services that can be consumed. Many sailors still like it here.

Don't look at the construction here, it costs a lot of money, but a lot of work is done by the British captives, which saves a lot of labor. Some materials are obtained locally, some are made of sea mud, and others are spent. The money is all shipped from the mainland, and only a small part of the money is spent on purchasing materials and things from other countries.But the taxes and various recoveries are more than enough.

There are still profits, and you can continue to invest.

Now the construction of railways and roads has started on the island. All the roads have been built by the Han people of the Huaxia Empire. They have a lot of experience. Twelve thousand Han people from the Huaxia Empire were assigned here to take on the important task of building this place.

Let them get acquainted with and understand this place, and gradually integrate into it. After working a lot, they will not think too much, and will not make them homesick.

Compared with Zhuang Lin and Lu Fang, he has no time to appease them, and can only use labor to integrate them into this place and the new Qin Empire.

After the construction of various infrastructures, whether it is merchants who come here to sell goods, merchants who pass by, or merchants who provide materials for this place, they all participate. The business atmosphere here is very good.

Looking at the islands he finally obtained, with nearly 3 elite sailors and officers killed and wounded, and nearly 8 captured or sent to the bottom of the sea by the British, Wu Nan sighed and rejoiced that if the British The Portuguese and the Portuguese have a firm foothold here, cutting off their long-distance contact with the Chinese Empire. What else can the New Qin Empire compete with these two countries? Occupying here, making money every day, and taxing even if the tax rate is low, It is also higher than the million Spanish gold coins that Zhuang Lin and the others collect every year.

Here, at least 80 Spanish gold coins a month, the income of nearly 280 million Chinese yuan, 800 million a year, and the highest annual income of more than 3000 million, so much sacrifice and investment are worth it.

There are still profits, and you can continue to invest.
