Lord of Ming Dynasty

Now Li Ya ordered the potential of internal resources to be tapped, to give full play to the hardworking, simple, and hard-working abilities of the Han people, to develop various territories, to achieve the same as the Chinese Empire, to share internal resources and reduce excessive dependence on external resources. "

Several people reached an agreement, so Luo Zuo's report was quite important. The rich mineral capacity in the Andes Mountains allowed the New Qin Empire to get rid of some strategic resources from external countries, such as copper and iron mines, coal mines, and even Gold, silver and other things that can support the value of currency have also shown good signs. At the same time, some minerals in Panama, due to the cooperative relationship with Spain, had to adopt the model of secretly mining in small mines, which is not enough to provide sufficient output. , and now can also expand production.

A large number of Indians and captives from various countries are their manpower, but they still need Han people to manage and care for them, but now these Han people are still in the town, so they can only find a way from other places, so this time the new Han people People are allocated on both sides of Gatun Lake, occupying and squeezing the living space of local aboriginals and colonizers, and at the same time forming Han communities to provide guarantee for the export of minerals from various places. After all, they are all their own people, and there is no mistake in their identity. , if an outsider might want to destroy or share a share of the benefits.

At the same time, 5000 Han Chinese can continue to be recruited into the new barracks, and after three months of training, they can take over the work of a large number of garrison battalions stationed here, so that these garrison battalion soldiers who have been stationed for three or four years can smoothly disperse and join the regular army, increasing the regular army of troops.

But this number of people is still not enough, so Zhuang Lin proposed to the local people that more Han people are needed. The original number of local Han people was 60 million. + The number of foreigners, businessmen, and garrisons is only 40, which is a decrease of more than 10,000% to 60% compared to the million people in the peak period.

The first thousand and 520 chapters continue to increase the Luo Zuo Corps

The Han people are used to gather strength and monitor other foreigners and captives who are more numerous than them. The indigenous people, without them as a tie, the developed place belongs to others. Once there is a little turmoil, Westerners can easily A turmoil turned the Han Chinese into a minority, and then they came to power.

To be reasonable, Chinese people will never be able to speak to Westerners.

So the Han people have to learn from the Westerners. They use a big stick in one hand to persuade and educate them in the other. The Chinese Empire is a big stick in one hand and completely eradicated in the other. The Qin Empire also learned it, but learned it step by step. After all, in the West, they are powerful, and they have to be as insidious and cunning as Europeans and Westerners.

Give a candy with one hand, and prepare to strangle them by the neck with the other.

After Zhuang Lin's report was sent back, Tang Yaweng and Wu Kejing discussed for a long time. They are the two most critical people in handling government affairs. They called Zhao Shuai, and the three of them studied it. The trade volume will drop, and making money will come second. The key is that some of the strategic materials they need will be stuck, which requires them to have their own large resource supply points.

Panama's resources are all in the hands of Spain. Except for some resources on the main island, Xindingzhou has a large amount of resources, but not many. It is only a little more than the resources on the main island, and Panama's resources are also It's just a small fight, which means that maybe they can maintain their operations, but when they need to be used in large quantities, they may be cut off by the enemy, so there will be fewer and fewer.

With the in-depth study of warships and the pace of the enemy's pursuit, the New Qin Empire felt embarrassed that there were no more of its own people, so the two issued an order to negotiate with the Huaxia Empire and continue to introduce Han people.

So after a telegram, the two countries negotiated for three months. A team of businessmen bypassed the Horn of Africa and brought 8 Han immigrants, [-] to the mainland, [-] to Xindingzhou, and the remaining [-]. It was sent to Xinding Yangzhou and handed over to Zhuang Lin and the others to expand the base of Han people here.

And the New Qin Empire continued to increase its search for Han people willing to come to the New Qin Empire from Russia, Turkey, and Eastern Europe. After all, the Chinese Empire drove away almost one or two billion descendants of naturalized Han people and Han people in the past decades. However, the New Qin Empire digested almost 100 million people, and a large number of Han people are still wandering in these places and Europe.

Most people died, because the most populous country in Europe has only 2000 million people. Faced with the sudden influx of so many people, can you not panic?So they took protective measures, geographical exclusion and discrimination, and treated these people as cattle, horses, and slaves, without any human rights and living conditions for them. After living for a few years, they fell under the exclusion of Europeans and became slaves. , was tortured to death.

This is also what Zhang Qiang wants to see. Most of these people are actually not good people, and they are people who affect the unity of the Han people in the Chinese Empire. Although they are also Han Chinese, they can only destroy and hinder the entire China. Eliminate them by hand. The war between Russia and Turkey reduces nearly 2000 million people every year, and tens of millions of people die every year scattered in Europe. There are tens of millions of people who survive. Many people can only go away to the New Qin Empire if they cannot integrate. , This became the population of the New Qin Empire, and this kind of business was done quite well.

Although Siberia has been vigorously developed, the climatic conditions are still harsh. Therefore, wherever they go, they are defined as criminals in the country, or officials who should be exiled. Since they are exiled, of course they will not go to those Siberian cities that have developed. Instead, go to those places with harsh climates and far away where there is no development.

Using such a policy, the Huaxia Empire has kept the population from growing too fast. In the past, no one needed to grow too fast, but now it is desperately suppressing it, because with the current productivity, even if the country’s territory has more than doubled, even three or four times, but the population of [-] million is enough to accommodate China, Siberia, Central Asia, Australia, and various overseas territories. No matter how big it is, it cannot be included if the productivity is not enough. Is it possible to condone the corruption of officials, the emergence of large and small landlords, the shrinking of industries, the decline of productivity, and the collapse of Is it the same endless loop as other dynasties?

Decrease population with dynasty change?

The best way to expand outward is to drive the Chinese Han people to Europe, let them infiltrate Europe, and harm the West.This is tantamount to a sign of realization. The Huaxia Han people and the Huaxia naturalized Han people explored the way for the expansion of the Huaxia Empire to the west. The West has nothing to do in the face of such a situation, because these people have passed through Eastern Europe, Greece, etc. from Russia and Turkey. Some of them entered the country, and some were even prisoners captured from the naval battles of the New Qin Empire.

While creating profits for them, these people also brought Chinese culture and ideas to the West, and the West became even more agitated.

At such a time of turmoil, the New Qin Empire introduced more cultural populations of the Huaxia Empire and more pure Han immigrants through this channel and through the official channel of the China Empire. The Han Chinese population in their own country.

With such a Han population, the domestic army and navy quickly recruited a group of graduated naval officers, army officers, soldiers and non-commissioned officers with experience in command from various units, and newly formed officers and many units.

So the soldiers of the recruit battalion were stuffed into the garrison battalion army. Five regiments of local recruit regiments, plus five regiments of local garrison regiments, were sent to Xinding Yangzhou after reorganization. After coming to Xinding Yangzhou , The three garrison battalions and the two local garrison battalions were reorganized, together with the returned advance team and the soldiers and officers of the experienced regiment of the Luozuo Army, and then the troops of the six regiments began to move out.

A cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, a supply regiment, three mercenary regiments, plus the regiments directly under the legion, seven regiments began to bring [-] prisoners who had been imprisoned for five years and had been trained for five years, and two garrison regiments began to support Luo Zuo their actions.

The two garrison regiments are mixed with soldiers from the new regiment, at least half of which are soldiers from the new regiment, a mercenary regiment, and a Han Chinese regiment, all of whom are recruits. Their task is to replace half of the veterans along the way from Cologne Port to the Columbia Military Station. They came back, reorganized, and then stayed here to guard Xinding Yangzhou, because the garrison here was almost exhausted, and the soldiers, officers, and The wounded soldiers of the Luo Zuo Corps returned.

The first thousand and 520 six chapters counterattack in adversity

The seven regiments here, plus the reinforcements of the two reorganized garrison regiments, set off, but it was already two months later. When Luo Zuo's troops learned of the loss of the two mercenary regiments in front, they immediately stopped advancing. In the footsteps of the mercenaries, the three regiments of mercenaries were recalled from the Eastern Front, plus two Han Chinese regiments that were still full, plus the regiments directly under the baggage company, cavalry company, artillery battalion, etc., the strength of the four regiments reached [-]. troops.

This time the Spaniards and the British gave the New Qin Empire a hard time, which also means that the West is not as useless or not smart enough as most people in the New Qin Empire and the Chinese Empire think.

They have been secretly suppressing the rising Huaxia Empire, otherwise they would not have tricked the fourth prince, and then they had a bad idea halfway, trying to clean up the fourth prince and the others.

More than 4000 soldiers from two mercenary regiments were wiped out, more than 600 Han soldiers and officers were also wiped out, more than 100 soldiers from the mercenary regiment were captured, and soldiers from [-] cavalry companies were also wiped out incidentally. Half of the cavalry battalion was wiped out.

At the same time, nearly 1000 Indians were captured, countless food and ammunition, and more than a dozen artillery pieces were captured.

This is a great achievement, which has never been achieved in the history of the war between Spain and the New Qin Empire. If we count the results of the previous battles with the mercenary regiment, the second regiment, the third regiment, and the newly built fifth regiment, Their more than 1 people almost wiped out more than half of the New Qin Empire's troops and colonial troops, about 9000 people.

Spain immediately rewarded him with the rank of major general and the title of jazz nobleman. Although jazz is actually the head of the lowest preparatory nobleman among the nobility, he can only be regarded as a person of the level of a small landlord, but how can he say that he also grew up from a commoner? The general became an aristocratic general, which proves that he has stepped into the aristocratic class. The West is a completely aristocratic society. Without a noble title, people will look down on you. With a noble title, at least those poor or ordinary people will regard you as Master, and with this title, I can speak on an equal footing with the nobles.

After receiving such a reward, Spain also sent him additional reinforcements for the first time, [-] local troops, [-] troops from other colonies and the Spanish fleet, and [-] supply ships and troop carriers. They all landed from the coast of Peru, and they will arrive here in a month. At that time, they will be able to defeat the Luo Zuo army that is chasing behind, and send enough manpower to chase the fourth prince and them.

It is said that there are only a few hundred cavalry around them, with a large number of family members, and some subjugated ministers. Under the protection of hundreds of cavalry, where can they escape? Now Peru, Chile, and Argentina are all Spain and British colony.

Although the British were born in Spain-occupied Spanish South America, they could not shake their position here, and even the competition in the Caribbean Sea could not shake this place. This is the Spanish South America, although they also have a few small pieces of land with France. The colonies are not as powerful as Portugal and Spain. Portugal occupies the South American colony of the entire region of Brazil in later generations, and it is the country that occupies the largest area here outside of Spain.

Of course, these still belong to Spain in name, because Portugal is still under the management of the King of Spain in name.

The British also sent reinforcements, but compared to the Spaniards' reinforcements, their reinforcements were not to be feared, but only a thousand naval sailors were only responsible for logistics transportation and supplies, and supplemented the losses of the British team when necessary. The three thousand black slaves in custody helped transport materials and supplies, ammunition, and artillery.

After learning that Spain had increased its troops, Luo Zuo retreated three hundred miles overnight, and several established military stations were also dismantled. People, soldiers selected by the Indians, and the logistics company formed a logistics regiment, which was used to follow the troops, be responsible for logistics operations, and cover the rear of the troops.

The artillery battalion was also resupplied and later expanded into an artillery regiment. The cavalry company added some Indian cavalry and Mexican cavalry to re-establish the cavalry battalion.

The pro-guard force was also expanded into a battalion, and the elite soldiers and officers from the Han regiment were recruited to form two new companies as a response force.

The recalled third mercenary regiment, this re-merged and formed third mercenary regiment has been strengthened after a hasty retreat, and its combat effectiveness is slightly stronger.

However, the footsteps of the two sides will not stop because of this. After a small amount of supplementation and rest, the Spaniards and the British turned and came to them for a decisive battle.

In seven days, the Spanish army and the British army, which were rested and replenished from the rear, totaled 400 regular troops, 5000 colonial troops, and [-] troops from the Peruvian Spanish colonial army, plus [-] black slaves. The transport team, [-] Indian tribal fighters, and more than [-] captured captives of the mercenary regiment, a total of more than [-] people set off for a small town in the Andes where Luo Zuo and the others were stationed.

After four days of marching, one day of waiting and resting, on the sixth day they appeared less than [-] miles away from Luo Zuo and the others. About two miles away, they began to form an array to advance, and stopped to set up camp when they reached five miles away. During this period, there was another reconnaissance and cavalry battle.

The Indian cavalry and Mexican cavalry on both sides, the Spanish and British cavalry, generally speaking, the cavalry on the side of the New Qin Empire is at a disadvantage, because the enemy's cavalry is too much, and it has been trained for a long time and is very elite. This side hastily reorganized The morale of the Indian cavalry was low, and the Mexican cavalry did not work hard. As a result, they did not detect anything, but lost more than 100 people. The cavalry battalion just formed was beaten back to its original form. indivual.

On the eighth day, after dinner in the morning, the Spaniards continued to send cavalry forward to attract attention. More than 9000 Indians came up, 3000 of them, and black slaves were also driven up to 1000 people. They fought with the New Qin Empire and the Huaxia Empire many times. The Spaniards learned to use cannon fodder to consume the enemy's ammunition.

Facing these cannon fodder are three positions outside the small town that have been carefully processed, three miles apart, a hill outside a small town, and an extended ridge of a high mountain or a place one and a half miles apart on both sides. The small hillside by the small lake protects the town well behind the Andes valley that stretches for hundreds of kilometers.

If the enemy wanted to raid their rear, they had to detour for at least 100 miles at the risk of an avalanche, and more than 50 miles from several rugged mountain roads to reach a valley behind them before forming an encirclement, but the Spaniards and the British obviously did not That kind of patience.

The first thousand and 520 chapters and seven counterattacks in adversity 1

Of course, wars are full of surprises, nothing is impossible, but facing the enemy Luo Zuo is confident, because he has fought against the British and Spaniards, he only sent a cavalry platoon, a Han battalion, and a logistics battalion to solve the problem To solve the problem, they were stationed at the canyon and ridge fifty miles away. Of course, a mortar squad was added. In fact, it was a squad of six three-pound guns that were improved and not as flexible as the mortars of later generations.

Three miles away, the enemy's artillery began to station, the infantry began to move forward, the cavalry continued to run in front of the position outside the town for reconnaissance, the blacks in front attacked the lake position, and the Indians and Mexicans and a thousand colonial troops attacked the main center. The hilly position outside the town, the British colonial army was responsible for attacking the highest position composed of forests and ridges at the foot of the Andes Mountains.

In the fierce artillery fire, limbs flew across the three positions, screaming again and again.

The two logistics battalions that were deployed separately, and the three battalions of the three mercenary regiments suffered casualties, but the superior officers of the mercenaries led the guards to forcefully suppress them, so that the soldiers of the logistics battalion composed of captives and slaves had to stay in the The camp endured the enemy's artillery fire. As for the mercenaries, they all knew their mission. Although they were reorganized, the veterans inside were quite calm.

With their help in suppressing the captives and slaves, as well as the Indians, the Chinese officers had little pressure.

Enduring shelling for half an hour, Indians and blacks, cavalry, and the British colonial army, the Spanish colonial army began to charge, but was stopped by stray bullets nearly 300 meters away, and continued to speed up the charge. Although it is not neat, but the firepower is indeed ferocious, and there are many mercenary veterans to suppress the firepower of the New Qin Empire. Their half-hour attack left nearly a thousand corpses and retreated.

But the generals on both sides knew that this was just a temptation.

It’s not easy here either. A large number of recruits and Indian captive soldiers who have not undergone excessive artillery attack training and baptism, even under the kicks and hands of mercenary veterans, and even the gun butts are still indomitable. A group fled to the rear, or danced on the ground, and was torn to pieces by the enemy's artillery fire. There were also some newly recruited recruits from the mercenary regiment, and the Mexican cavalry who only knew how to drink and wanted women. The fierce enemy artillery fire has become cannon fodder.
