Lord of Ming Dynasty

Fifty miles forward is the small town where they fought. Now there are [-] captives serving in it, and there is a lot of construction going on. A lot of minerals have been found in the nearby valley. Five thousand captives and many survey experts who followed the reinforcements are working Prospecting for minerals everywhere, the nearby tribes that survived by chance were all arrested and became coolies here.

A day and a half later, the troops led by the fourth prince and Luo Zuo joined the reinforcements.

Looking at the construction scene in full swing in this valley, Luo Zuo and the fourth prince are very happy, but the fourth prince can't stay here, he will be under the protection of He Haole, with the original Luozuo army that has been fighting for more than half a year. The two Han regiments and some Indian and Mexican mercenaries, yes, those tested natives have now been absorbed into the mercenary team.

In this way, the wounded and all the soldiers of the original Luozuo Corps will be exchanged back to the port of Cologne. They will escort the captured Spanish and British officers and some soldiers and prisoners, nearly 2000 people, and more than 2000 Indian prisoners, and more than 2000 Colonial mercenaries, with more than 3000 wounded, returned to Coron Port in Xindingyang Prefecture while repairing the road along the road.

In addition to withdrawing the cavalry company of the pro-guard battalion, Luo Zuo also took over the new reinforcements of the nine regiments that were reinforced. These reinforcements will resist the 6000 British and Spanish regular troops who landed from the coast of Peru, and more other enemies The army, but the main task is to continue to build military depots and roads, open mines, extend to the coast of Peru, and occupy these areas.

Because a large number of colonial troops in South America were consumed by Luo Zuo and the others, as long as they defeated the last army of the enemy to land, they could almost dominate South America.

This is Luo Zuo's new mission.

There are only some guard cavalry scouting and guarding around.

In the evening, they moved the camp three times, moved forward [-] miles obliquely, then slept until noon, got up again and began to climb the mountain road. After five consecutive days of rugged mountain roads, they came to the valley where the decisive battle with the Spaniards had been. Fifty miles away, the mountain pass that once wanted to stop the enemy, the fortifications and camps that were built by the Han Chinese regiment at the beginning of that mountain pass have not been dismantled, and now belong to the garrison of a military depot.

The resource colony under consolidation in the first thousand and 530 chapters

Luo Zuo constantly formed new troops, and divided the areas, and firmly defended the areas on the left and right sides of the station line and around the mining area. He neither intervened in the rule of the local tribes and the Spaniards, nor did he compete with them for other territories. The long and intertwined lines of military depots lie in the Spanish colony, and the Spaniards feel distressed like a thorn.

With the increase of captives, the increase of mercenaries, the stability of the military station, and the excavation stage of the surveyed minerals, He Haole, who has been withdrawn, can already see the road along the road of the military station that He Haole and the others initially built. The ore team is ready, and the ore will be transported for more than 3000 miles. A few years before entering Xinding Yangzhou, a screening site has been built for screening and crushing.

The ore from which impurities have been removed is transported to the primary smelting plant for smelting. After smelting, the iron ingots full of impurities, and the copper ingots are shipped to the local smelter for further smelting, separation, and purification, and finally become qualified iron ingots. Copper ingots were then sent to ironworks for smelting, and cast into required steel plates or steel, which were supplied to various places. High-quality wrought iron and refined iron were sent to steelworks for steelmaking to make warships, weapons and cannons.

Copper nuggets were used in other industries, and gold and silver entered the wealth treasury of the New Qin Empire, where they became reserves or were used for trading and purchasing materials from other countries.

Of course, those gold and silver are also used for reserves. After a certain period of time, they also want to issue their own currency. Although they are a nation with the Chinese Empire, they are here, and this is the West. After the Chinese Empire issued banknotes, other Western countries followed suit. , and it is becoming more and more formal. Under such circumstances, the Huaxia Yuan currency is still used, and the New Qin Empire is very passive, because the Huaxia Empire belongs to the far east, and the currency cannot reflect the value and price situation here. Sometimes they may It is not allowed for most of their profits to be taken by Western currencies, they are still very weak.

At present, the New Qin Empire has stored more than 20 tons of gold and nearly 20 tons of silver through nearly 100 years of reserves, but this is not enough for Spanish treasure ships to transport from the East to West Spain at one time, so now Spanish gold coins, Mexico Eagle Ocean and Portuguese gold coins are still hard currencies, more valuable than Chinese yuan banknotes. The Chinese Empire itself cannot stop the circulation of these currencies, and is also using these gold and silver to exchange materials with Western merchants.

Therefore, it is not yet ripe to release the currency of the New Qin Empire. They have to continue to use this kind of Huaxia Yuan currency, which may be slightly more expensive than paper in the West. The original Huaxia Yuan currency here is worth more than various gold coins in the West. However, with the rise of the New Qin Empire and the advancement of Western technology, the West also began to issue banknotes, and the value and credit of banknotes declined.

Now 100 Chinese yuan can only be exchanged for ten Spanish gold coins and nine British gold pounds. From the original 10 Chinese yuan for three to four other people's gold coins, it has risen to 10 Chinese yuan for other people's eleven to twelve gold coins, and then When you reach 10 Chinese yuan, you can exchange other people's seven or eight gold coins, when you reach 10 Chinese yuan, you can exchange five or six gold coins, and when you drop to 10 Chinese yuan, you can exchange three to four gold coins. One gold coin, or only 10 gold coins, needs 1 to 0.9 Huaxia Yuan to exchange for one other person. That is to say, Huaxia Yuan is depreciating with the passage of time and with the rise of the New Qin Empire, and it has depreciated by a hundred times at once. Or more than 11 times less than that.

Now that the relationship with Spain is not good, this depreciation will be accelerated, and it may be that it has reached 15 Chinese yuan and cannot be exchanged for a British gold pound.

However, with the mining of Colombian gold mines, this reserve is increasing, and the value of the currency will increase in the future. With the abundance of various commodities in the New Qin Empire, the New Qin Empire will also enter the ranks of Western powers.

Because in fact the New Qin Empire has almost ruled the entire mid-Atlantic sea, where the British have to walk with their heads shrunk, not daring to show off their might, they have already been frightened.

Even though Britain has countless colonies more than the Spaniards, and has a colony as large as India, and is competing with the Dutch, Portuguese, and Spaniards for the right to completely control the colonies of India, as Africa, South America, and North America , mainly because the resources and manpower of North America were discovered, and the potential of Britain was unlimited. The attack of the New Qin Empire only delayed its pace of becoming the empire on which the sun never sets in later generations.

Luo Zuo here has to deal with the Spanish and British counterattacks against them for robbing their colonies, and at the same time has to deal with the attacks of the remnants of the indigenous tribes everywhere. More mineral resources are what the New Qin Empire needs. Now all kinds of mineral resources are being mined out, and the first batch of resources are being transported to Xinding Yangzhou for preliminary smelting, but the cost is very high.

Because for the resources of this land, about 2 people were sacrificed, about 1 to 3000 Han soldiers, and more than [-] foreign mercenaries fell into the soil, dense forests, mountains and rivers of more than [-] miles on this land.

The money spent is almost equivalent to the sum of the past 20 or [-] years, about [-] million Chinese yuan and nearly [-] million Spanish gold coins. It can be said to be very difficult, but finally there is a result.

Colombia's resources, Peru's resources, and Panama's resources will support the new Qin Empire just like the British's colonial resources.

It took more than 1 captives three months to open the road to the sea and to Xindingyang Prefecture along the route of the military depot, and then use the resources of Panama to harden and widen the road bit by bit with the cinders dug out , making the dirt road into a road, and the level is improved.

The Spaniards, who were originally very close, became distant because of the hostility between the two families, so the possibility of these captives being redeemed became smaller, so they could only become slaves and go to build roads.

Some of the converted people became mercenaries, and three new mercenary regiments were established to start training. The three-month training made them a new force of the New Qin Empire, and they were sent to Colombia to destroy the rebellious indigenous tribes and escort the entire military depot route. , here is being consolidated, reconsolidated.

After three newly established mercenary regiments, light infantry regiments, plus an artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, and the Spanish and British regular troops who landed, the new Spanish colonial army assembled after a major war, although suffered heavy losses After losing nearly 6000 Indians, tribal fighters, and naturalized Han Chinese in the newly established mercenary regiment, they finally won a miserable victory and captured about 3000 prisoners.

This ended the fighting with the Spaniards in Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. Since then, the Spaniards and the British can no longer wage a large-scale battle in these places.

The first thousand and 530 chapters and five are not enough troops

After deeply realizing the insufficiency of Newfoundland, the Xinqin Empire has shifted its attention from Newfoundland to Xindingzhou, but Xindingzhou is facing more difficulties, because in order to prevent them from penetrating into the French and British People have set up a tight blockade here, the army, sentries, cavalry, and even those British immigrants in North America, French immigrants, although these white immigrants were abandoned by their respective countries, as long as they arrive, they are The colonies of their respective countries are different from the Chinese Han people who began to go out from the Qin and Han Dynasties in later generations.

Most of the Chinese Han people are not recognized after they go out, and they don’t want to make any contribution to the hometown behind them, or even accept the funding or leadership of their hometown. They all have a kind of thought of being emperor by themselves, and the separation of families is in the heart of every Han people. A kind of expectation, being able to live alone is a kind of revenge for the Han people to vent their dignity being suppressed, revenge for their original family, they are not united, only ambitious literati can unite them, and these literati are in the country It is a dragon, but it is trying to integrate into other people's localities abroad, thinking about living a good life, and never thought of bringing these Chinese people to expand the land for China on other people's land. This is impossible.

The Chinese who have been impoverished for thousands of years only need to live in a place. Survival is their most basic requirement. To become a good businessman or official for the country and the people has a long way to go, and it cannot solve the problem of survival. Who cares about the country and who cares about expanding the territory for the nation? Although the truth is good, many people don’t want to be Victims of others, for the sake of their own descendants, they only want to integrate into the local area, but don't think about whether they can integrate or whether these people will watch them develop, instead of fattening them up like slaves or cattle and sheep slaughter.

Chinese people have repeated this process generation after generation, the process of being slaughtered by others, lost in the beautiful slogans of those Westerners, contributing to others, and finally being served on the table by others, and enjoying being eaten by others, making others When despising and insulting, I always blame myself for not integrating enough. It would be great if I could become a Westerner, but Westerners clamor for acceptance and integration every day. In fact, they themselves cannot integrate with their compatriots. They are inherently xenophobic, and Prussia cannot tolerate it. The white French, the French look down on robbers and immigrants, and the Celts, the descendants of barbarians, so under this kind of difference, let alone the Chinese, it is difficult to live a stable life, so Zhang Qiang came here as a descendant People, only find a way for their own country, learn how Americans deal with Indians, and eliminate them.

Because it is impossible to break out a large-scale land war with the British and the French now, the development of Xindingzhou has been curbed, and we can only continue to build and immigrate here, and use immigration to create wealth for the empire. The main direction is still in the In order to open up the Panama Canal.

Now there is nothing around Panama City that has been captured. Wherever it is captured, and storming Panama City has become the top priority. This work must be done secretly. There are not many land troops in the new Qin Empire. And most of them are mercenaries and captive soldiers. The Han army has not experienced a major war, and there are few of them. The main reason is that the empire does not want to consume a large amount of this army now, and relies on them to maintain the security of various places.

Constantly mobilize part of the troops to participate in actual combat, and then bring back the remaining troops that have experienced the fire, and then send new troops out to exercise. With this kind of mobilization, the Han troops always maintain a state of combat experience, just like last time Luo After all the wounded and veterans of the Zuo Corps were transferred back, Luo Zuo had new troops in his hands. After the thousands of old troops returned, except for some disabled and retired soldiers, there were still 3000 troops left. These troops Shuan was transferred to the garrison battalion, and soon the garrison battalion had thousands of veterans with combat experience.

And the friction with the French and British immigrants here has also given the soldiers of the garrison battalion more combat experience. After a year of garrison, they will be replaced and their ranks will be upgraded. In this way, there will be more and more high-level soldiers. There are more and more outstanding soldiers. As long as the retired soldiers are in good health, they will be recruited to expand the army in the future. After so many years of accumulation, there are at least 100 retired veterans among the 30 million Han population. There are also quite a few retired third-class soldiers with experience, and they can be incorporated into the garrison battalion to fight in wartime, or to guard various territories.

The strength of the first-class and second-class regular troops reached 8 million, the garrison battalion and recruit battalion reached 15, and a total of 15 Han Chinese corps.But [-] of the [-] people in the mainland, [-] in Xindingzhou, [-] in the Azores, and [-] in Xindingyang Prefecture, most of them were used to attack Spanish colonies and protect military stations in three South American countries Line up.

The mercenaries reached 25 troops, 7 for the protection of the mainland, 8 for Xindingyang, 8 for Xinding, and 2 for the Azov Islands.

The total number of foreigners and prisoners has reached more than 80. The main reason is that the total number of foreigners is 60, but there are 25 troops. One is that so many mercenaries are really needed, and the other is that mercenaries are what the foreign population can do. , This is also the fastest way to integrate into the new Qin Empire.

There are also some foreigners who take up various technical jobs. In this regard, the foreign population has advantages. Some foreigners are engaged in business, sailing boats, and fishermen. This is their specialty. Only a small part of them are farming and doing other jobs.

In the battle to conquer the three countries in South America this time, the mercenaries sacrificed about 1 people, but they added local tribal fighters and some mercenary recruits, as well as Mexicans, and some people were recruited from the captives. Not only was there no loss, there were some more, and then a part of the troops were transferred from the mainland and Xindingzhou, about [-] mercenaries, and the mercenaries from Xindingyan Prefecture and Han officers and soldiers were joined together to form a new army to carry out the three-nation war in South America. guard and fight.

The newly formed troops were constantly injured and captured prisoners. The veterans came back to rest for a period of time and were incorporated into the garrison battalion. They led the troops and formed new troops. The newly formed troops continued to go south to continue to conquer resource areas in other parts of Peru and establish military depots. , and attack the Pacific coast.

Completely clear the Spanish troops and immigrants in Panama, Peru, Colombia, and turn them all into captives.

The first thousand and 530 chapters and seven chapters are orthodox
