Lord of Ming Dynasty

At the end of the meeting, Zhuang Lin summoned Lu Fang and the other Han officers, "This time we will use mercenaries as the main body to attack the Spaniards. The Han people have two or three hundred soldiers and horses everywhere. They only do the task of protecting and defending the chief officer. The people who migrated some foreign soldiers to the Spanish territory and the edge of our territory and their territory, clashed, let these people become the targets of the enemy, and eliminated our excessive population in a different direction, and at the same time let these foreigners treat The Spaniards have developed a hatred and made them work for us.

We have to make preparations to consume at least [-] foreign civilians and [-] foreign soldiers this time, and at the same time reduce the casualties of our Han army to less than [-], understand?The most casualties must be the Mexicans and their relatives here, mobilizing them to migrate to the Spaniards and other areas, occupying other areas, and using the indigenous people in other areas to complete our construction. Our ostensible goal this time is to respond The fourth prince's main goal is to march to Panama City, and they can fight as much as they can, and as far as they can.

Our battle with the British has been predicted to be no major battle in a few years. If there is a battle, it will be a battle at sea. On land, we will try our best to avoid fighting and confronting the British, so as to prevent us from being encircled and suppressed by Western countries in Europe. . "

Now that Zhuang Lin said it, everyone already understood the latest strategic direction of the empire. It was they who used the matter of the four princes to attract the Spaniards, and then went to war with the Spaniards to occupy Panama City of the Spaniards, thus opening up a bridge from the Atlantic to the Spanish. With this road in the Pacific Ocean, fleets can be deployed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.

There are only more than 200 warships in total, but there is no embarrassment before and during the war with the British. At the usual cruising speed of [-] knots, many warships have undergone new transformations and replaced corresponding upgraded boilers. The old boilers After simple repairs and processing, they were completely renewed, and then the treated steam engines were sold to other countries willing to build warships.

Of course, it is limited to France and other European countries.

There is no way for the UK to enjoy such services. After all, the enemy cannot be allowed to obtain the technology of the Xinqin Empire. In terms of technology blockade, the Xinqin Empire still does a good job.

The warships sold were exchanged for a lot of supplies, and the new warship construction plan was implemented smoothly. At the same time, new guns were produced. Now it seems that the biggest product of the New Qin Empire is the warship, because it is new enough and good enough , Enough power, even used battleships, ironclad ships that have been used for many years are a symbol of force and a symbol of strength in other countries.

Therefore, the characteristic products of the New Qin Empire are warships and merchant ships.

Because a large number of warships were sold, a large number of Han sailors and foreign civilian sailors were unemployed. The New Qin Empire deliberately arranged Han sailors into schools, naval factories, and shipyards. However, a large number of foreign civilians, especially wandering The foreign sailors who came here did not have this kind of treatment. The New Qin Empire paid them a lot of salary and promised to pay them a retirement fee every year. Although the retirement fee is not much, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Many people are so happy and honorably unemployed.

Of course, the money was paid in Huaxia Yuan. Some people chipped in to buy decommissioned ships, and after some renovations, they went to sea. Some people took the money and went back to their own countries. In the Qin Empire, many people immigrated to North America. Of course, it is not Xindingzhou, but the land of the British, because those people have accumulated over the years and became slaves and captives. Finally, they were freed as mercenaries. Once the New Qin Empire had a new policy, let them go back, and no longer detain and guard them, because they have made due contributions to the New Qin Empire, they are meritorious people, and the New Qin Empire treats meritorious people very well. Well, it won't stop giving them freedom.

Through such policies, the New Qin Empire allowed about [-] to [-] foreigners, common people, and businessmen to leave their homeland, which eased the pressure of the increasing foreign population on the Han population of the New Qin Empire.

At the same time, we will suppress, arrest, try, detain, and deport some spies who dare to work for the enemy within the empire, and some people with ulterior motives who want to pursue the political rights and interests of foreigners in the new Qin Empire. About 6 to [-] people were recruited, and then some stable foreigners were moved to Xindingzhou and Xindingyangzhou.

About 8 people dispersed within three months, so that the foreigners in the New Qin Empire, excluding the family members of active mercenaries and themselves, about 20 people, as well as some foreign businessmen who were originally doing business. People, about 30 people, through this cleanup, the New Qin Empire cleared half of the people out of the mainland of the New Qin Empire, reducing the number of foreigners and ordinary people to [-], which is only half of the Han population, which is relatively safe offline.

The population of the empire has dropped from around 130 million to over 90, of which there are still [-] to [-] floating population.

The consumption of materials and food in the empire has been reduced, and many places have been vacated to allow these 90 people to live. The living environment has changed from harsh and difficult to better, not so difficult, and more difficult.

Now the captives in the empire have been transported to Xindingzhou and Xindingyangzhou. There are no prisoners and slaves in the empire to consume food, and it has become a normal country. The vacated job opportunities have been given to the local people and soldiers. , Greatly improved the business environment and living environment of the empire.

After the New Year, with the solidification of Panama's strategy, the mainland mobilized another [-] mercenaries and mercenary families to move to Xindingyang Prefecture to occupy the land there and fight against the Mexican natives who dared to resist, or the Spanish who might fight.

There are only 8 local mercenaries and mercenary family members left, and then 4 people are transferred to Xindingzhou to develop. perish.

Feeling the malice of the New Qin Empire, many businessmen or foreigners who had already obtained the people of the New Qin Empire fled one after another. Three months later, the number of foreigners in the New Qin Empire dropped to 2 to 4. The people and mercenaries also retired one after another, resigned, and fled, so when Zhuanglin launched a campaign against the recalcitrant, hostile Mexicans, and foreigners near the territory of Xindingyang Prefecture, the mercenary families and mercenaries were thrown away. 10 people, [-] to [-] foreign businessmen, the number of foreigners in the New Qin Empire has dropped to less than [-], and there is no way to reduce the remaining people, because the New Qin Empire needs them.

At this time, the native population of the New Qin Empire was 76, nearly 80, and the living environment and population ratio had reached a good state.

Li Ya and the others are very satisfied with this result.

Nearly 60 people are Han people, and there are about [-] foreigners. The common people can not only maintain the population advantage of the Han people, but also maintain the political advantages of the Han people, and keep the empire from being infiltrated by foreigners into the high-level, or grassroots. Time to control the Han Kingdom.

They also launched a vigorous crackdown on the collusion between internal Han Chinese and foreigners. More than 3 Han Chinese who were pleasing or inclined to foreigners in thought or action launched a severe crackdown, and all of them were organized into cannon fodder troops and sent to the Xindingzhou or Xindingyangzhou went to serve as a soldier, even an 80-year-old man would not let it go. For such an enemy, the Xinqin Empire or the Huaxia Empire would have zero tolerance.

The Huaxia Empire has the wisdom bonus of Zhang Qiang, a traveler, and has a deep hatred for those who eat and drink domestic food, but play domestic people. They have turned Huaxia into a liar, and the law only protects them. Therefore, Zhang Qiang is quite cruel to these people. Du Ge, You Haifu and others at the beginning, and Hong Chengchou and other big traitors pushed forward, no matter how miserable their original life experience was, no matter how they were forced to betray the country Yes, all accounts will be settled after the autumn, and Zhang Qiang of Lu State was wiped out by various means.

Those Han people in China who wanted to destroy the Chinese Empire were all thrown to Siberia, and let the Qing Dynasty fight against Russia and the Western Allied Forces. All these harmful factors that hindered the Chinese Empire were all smashed into mud and dust in the war , was wiped out in the artillery fire, followed by hundreds of millions of unreformable Han population and those naturalized population who were all driven to Eastern Europe, Ottoman Turkey, let them be sacrificed in the war between the two, and can also consume the funds of both sides , guns, and bullets, entangled the two countries, leaving them no time to take care of the behemoth in the East, the Chinese Empire.

The New Qin Empire was very successful. It successfully reduced the burden and transferred the troubles to overseas territories. The mainland became a manufacturing base of industrial products, a place where the population was prosperous, and a product export base. Of course, it was also a large number of colonies. The ultimate source of foreign raw materials place of import.

A large number of European merchants traded through the Azov Islands, or directly came to the mainland to trade, and brought together a large amount of their raw materials to the New Qin Empire. The New Qin Empire processed them, and then they brought them back. The trade profits were quite large.

After half a year of replenishment and savings, the raw materials that were in short supply due to the war quickly filled the New Qin Empire. The New Qin Empire had a population of several 10 people, who worked day and night and devoted their brains and physical energy to turning these into industrial products. The wealth was exported, or loaded onto the empire's warships.

at the same time.

Zhang Qiang sat outside the imperial palace of the Huaxia Empire on the upper floor of the backyard of the Governor's Mansion he had originally built, basking in the sun. The warm sun made him very warm and comfortable. With a trembling voice, he read the newspaper and the summaries of various internal news sent from the palace, and he still maintained the habit of understanding the country's major affairs and thinking.

The palace is already the place where his eldest son Yongwu lives, and even the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the palace is the place where his second son Yongwen lives. Their Zhang family still maintains their influence and unrelenting control over the empire.

The second child made a lot of trouble, but was unsuccessful. He did not let his eldest son become the crown prince, the eldest son became the crown prince, his grandson became the third heir, and the second child only became the fourth heir. The eldest brother’s health is no longer good. He is already 80 years old, and the second child is also in his 70s. Zhang Qiang’s eldest grandson, Yongwu’s eldest son, is also in his 60s. This is caused by his immortality. Most of the heirs to the throne have become old people. Yes, but the eldest son of the second child is relatively young, only in his 30s, and in the prime of life.

Zhang Qiang wanted him to inherit the empire, because if it was delayed, it would be detrimental to the development of the empire if the old man was always allowed to inherit the empire.

But the eldest son is doing well now, and the second son is also doing well. Now he can't make up his mind. The heir to the throne can't just jump around casually, and there will be big troubles.

They also knew about the new Qin Empire. He felt that those people did a good job, and it might be more meaningful and effective than what the Huaxia Empire did.

Ordered the third child to be in close contact with the new Qin Empire, Zhang Qiang lived and lived like this every day, many old people, the guards left him, and the courtiers were replaced by grandchildren, everyone maintained awe of him , but he knew that he was just a mysterious, great old man, a god in their hearts, and he had no ability to control them anymore.

The rights are in the hands of the three sons.

Influence is on the three sons, as well as several important ministers who still hold power. They are all his ministers when he was in power. He has been in power for 70 years, and he gradually delegated power in the next 30 years. Those important ministers are also his confidantes. The sons and grandsons of my sons and grandsons, they all entered the officialdom at that time and began to learn how to govern.

However, people in this country still have a little awe and admiration for him, and there is still a little influence.

But that was just a thought, he didn't want to spoil his good image in these people's minds.

So just thinking about it, he just needs to watch the development of the empire here, and know that the empire is developing in a good direction that he expects, and it will not be bad when he dies.

He is now just an old man who was once brilliant.

He enjoys the last glory of life here, while Luo Zuo leads tens of thousands of horses to walk through the rainforest and grassland of South America, covered with leaf juice and rotten smell, surrounded by various animals on the grassland of South America , The brigade of people and horses dragged various supplies from the port of Cologne through the mountains and plateaus of Panama, which were [-] kilometers away, into the rainforests, grasslands, and mountains of South America.

"Hurry up, walk another hundred miles, we will arrive at the military depot, speed up, rest on the hill in front tonight, everyone pay attention to observation, the officers of each team pay attention to the discipline of each team, don't drink water casually, don't casually Touch those branches and bushes, especially not near ponds with water or mud ponds. There are dangers everywhere. A python or a crocodile may emerge at any time, or even a leopard or a rhinoceros in heat. Follow the guide. Don't get lost, don't fall behind."

The following officer who opened the way loudly told the people in the team that the lessons their advance team bought with the bloody reality, he is now teaching the people behind.

Luo Zuo looked at the Han captain with some disgust. He was an infantry captain and led a 2000-strong Han Chinese infantry regiment. The other captain was a cavalry regiment, but he only led a battalion this time. The cavalry, 320 cavalry, and he also took a second lieutenant of artillery, who had a battalion of field guns ranging from three-pounders to six-pounders, a total of 36 artillery battalions, all under his control.

In addition to his own guard of about 1000 people, Luo Zuo also had a battalion of Han infantry and marines. The other personnel, soldiers and officers were all mercenary regiments. The Mexican Indigenous Regiment, a cavalry battalion of Mexicans and Spanish naturalized population, who were responsible for guiding and scouting and contacting surrounding tribes.
