Lord of Ming Dynasty

"The British are dispatched in full force this time. It can be seen that they have a deep resentment towards the three super fleets that were annihilated last time. They lead the fleet with two acquaintances of everyone. They are Duke Nar Downs who was exchanged back last time. There is also Major General John Bing. We should pay special attention to these two. The other people are also famous generals in naval battles between the British and the Spaniards and the Dutch. We also need to guard against the British using their home fleet to raid our homeland or Likely in any other state."

"Okay, that's all about the transfer of the British. Let me talk about it next. Yes, I will add about the transfer and distribution of the Spanish fleet, and there are things that need our attention."

Wu Nan took a sip of water, and continued to stand on a huge map hanging on the curtain wall of the palace. The map was surrounded by bright lights, and even a detail on the chart could be seen clearly if one looked carefully. , this is their experience summed up over the years.

"After the Spaniards recently received support from the British, the combat effectiveness of their fleet and warships will definitely increase. There is no need for the battle that Zhuang Lin and the others fought off the coast of Panama. The Spaniards are already a powerful country at sea. The quality of the sailors in the past and now must be very good. High, we cannot take it lightly, especially Panama.

Although we have occupied the south now, the Spaniards in the north still have an advantage. Their old fleet can disperse and attack our caravan. The fleet can deal with us, so we must never take the risk of sailing when the enemy's fleet has not been cleared in a region. I suggest that from now on, prepare for each region to fight on its own. "

He glanced at Zhuang Lin who came to the meeting in a hurry. Panama is now in charge of the interim governor Lu Fang, and Song Qing is in charge of Xindingzhou. Now they can't leave. As their boss, Zhuang Lin has come to attend the meeting. Wu Nan is Regardless of Song Qing's, Zhuang Lin was in charge of Song Qing's management. Panama Zhuang Lin was only sent to preside over it because it was the place where he started and where his greatest achievements were made. In fact, Lu Fang was directly in charge of it.

"The Spaniards' fleet in the Pacific Ocean is not strong. Because of the restraint of the Hawaiian Fleet of the Chinese Empire, we can temporarily not worry about it here. The important thing is that in the Atlantic Ocean, if the British fleet blocks several straits, we cannot enter the Atlantic Ocean. We can only enter the Atlantic Ocean." We are wandering around in the Caribbean Sea, so we should step up to set up a ship repair shop in Panama. When necessary, we can repair some advanced warships by ourselves, such as capital ships. The repairs of the cruiser and the cruiser can only be repaired briefly for the time being, and it is obviously impossible to go back to Xindingzhou for repairs, and the risk is very high."

"We will also make sure that once the Azores are blocked and surrounded by the enemy, we will also be prepared to resist the enemy's siege for a long time with the existing fleet and warships, and the Moroccan territory in Africa must also prepare for the Spanish blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar. , and preparations for storming there from land and sea, it may also be the front line of the war, and it may also be the place where the fighting is most intense.

Wherever there is a large Spanish colony, the French are not reliable, although they are separated by the French colony, and they are likely to be allowed to pass by. Our relationship with the French is only that of merchants and sellers.

Maybe it needs to withstand most of the firepower of the Spaniards, but it may not be possible, but we have to be prepared on land and at sea. We can transfer part of the fleet to where to strengthen the sea strength there. I think we will transfer two capital ships of the local fleet. , four cruisers, one battleship from Xindingzhou, one battleship from Panama, three battleships from us, eight cruisers, and nine frigates, where the nine destroyers go, basically Prevent Spain from going all-in on it.

At the same time, it is also a land transit point for us to contact the empire, so we must not lose it. "

Li Ya nodded, "You can do this, Mo Lin, you can watch and execute it. The warships we launch later will work hard to strengthen the Panama fleet. But some will be distributed to other fleets, especially the Xindingzhou fleet, which has not been strengthened recently. It also needs to be strengthened. We may face the enemy's North American colonial fleet, and may be attacked by the enemy's home fleet, the Caribbean colonial fleet and that super fleet.

As long as you are safe there, with our great strength for so many years, I think the British or the Spaniards dare not come to our territory to make trouble, not to mention that we have not only eighteen capital ships, 27 cruisers, nearly a hundred frigates, and more The temporarily refitted old-style ironclad warships that were launched into the water, they came to attack us, just looking for death. "

He looked back at the fourth prince, Yong Hai, and Yong Hai nodded. He didn't worry about these professional things. When he was worried, could his son inherit the place? His eldest son is already in his 40s and has been following him. However, he is only a general on land, a strategic general, not an actual combat general. He may be able to fight some Spanish colonial troops and some indigenous troops to deal with the enemy's guerrilla warfare.

He was limited by his experience and knowledge of guerrilla warfare, and he only knew initially that what he inherited was his father's inaction and non-dispute, Zhang Qiang's blood, the old Zhang's aura of the throne, and how to balance the royal family's governance. The country's power tactics do not understand regular warfare, especially naval warfare with high technological content.

At the moment, he is also on the list, but he doesn't speak, just to learn and let everyone get to know each other.

The first thousand and 560 chapters and four wars will not come suddenly

"How about your food reserves?" Li Ya asked Zhuang Lin.

The local area does not need to prepare much, because although the local population has also increased, there are fishery resources guaranteed, so it can be dealt with no matter what. There are [-] tons of salted fish stored in the warehouse, and [-] tons of fresh fish are caught every month. They can’t eat all the food for export. Although they need food, they can restrain themselves and keep calm. Now the whole island belongs to them, and they can slowly save money on the island to avoid hunger and war.

Although Xindingzhou is only a peninsula, its resources can also be self-sufficient. It may not be as rich as here, but after most of the mercenaries and foreign people are transferred to Panama, what is left is troops and people who grow food and enter various mines. The common people, some captives, and no excess population consumption, but Panama now concentrates one-third of the population, and more than half of their total population of captives and slaves, and most of the domestic army, the navy is five A little less than one-tenth, the pressure of this population on food can be imagined. They also have to take care of the food supplies of the three South American countries. Although the three South American countries can already supply their own supplies, Xinding Yangzhou still gives some supplies every time. of.

With the food supply of the Chinese Empire and the food supply of the mainland and Xindingzhou, it can only solve the food supply of the regular army and the population of the two cities. In fact, a lot of food needs to be grown by Panama itself and find ways to save and raise money. The food from the enemy’s colonies and their own hunting and fishing are the best way to make up for it. The previous population diversion has not yet been shown, and it still needs to be replenished from the mainland and other places. Even the small Azores have a few supplies. time to them.

The Azores have always been supplied by three parties, one is the mainland, Newfoundland, and the other is Xindingzhou. The basic plate and climate of Xindingzhou are better than that of Newfoundland, and the grain output Also high, not to mention that there were so many foreigners and Han people before, and the captives helped plant them. On the other hand, they were supplied by the African base in Morocco, where they could get food supplies from the territory of the Chinese Empire in Central Asia, as well as some from Africa. Food supplies, as well as food supplies in the Russian-occupied territories in Eastern Europe, were of course bought.

They also grow part of it themselves. They couldn’t eat it when there were few people. They also have fishery resources as non-staple food. As long as the food is not besieged, there is no difficulty. Now the situation is urgent, the war is coming, and the Azov Islands are also fully stockpiling Food, which increases the burden on the mainland and Xindingzhou. There are countless supply fleets sent out every day. The sea transportation is even busier when the war comes, but the merchant ships are getting fewer and fewer. Only the Chinese Empire once every six months Supplies for long voyages.

What everyone is worried about now is not actually food, but when dealing with the British, the Spaniards suddenly appeared. After all, the main force in this war is the Spaniards, not the British. Maybe the British just need to help Spain People, fill in the new Qin State, don't look at the bluff, the British really didn't bet all their veterans to fight a peerless naval battle, and they didn't have that determination, so the Spaniards should be everyone's attention exist.

Hearing Li Ya's question, Zhuang Lin thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, we can still hold on. Although it is a bit difficult, we can survive the two months with a little reduction in the food quota for the captives and slaves." After two months, our immigrants who arrived in batches will gradually produce food, and it will not be so difficult. And with the implementation of the canal project, some people will be reduced, and this part will be buried forever At the bottom of the canal, there won’t be too much food wasted, and it will give us a living space for the Han immigrants who arrive later. It will be good if there are about 20 people left by then, and others can be driven to the north bank to let them To consume the food of the Spanish colonies, some will definitely die in the process again, we can show our favor to the French and enhance the relationship between France."

The French are just above the Spanish colonies in Central America. In North America, the two sides are actually engaged in a colonial war over the ownership of Louisiana, so they must want the Spaniards to send more people because of the war between the new Qin State and the Spaniards. Go to Central America, so they can surpass the Spaniards in strength and other things.

The first thousand and 560 chapters and five North American whirlpools

20 years after the new Qin State came to the West, it faced another major war, and the main enemy was the British. The British have not yet reached the point where practice makes perfect, as in the [-]th century. They have just established their own super Japanese. The status of falling empire, of course, is somewhat regrettable. In previous history, they had countless colonies in the Far East, that is, Asia, and all over the world.

In particular, the colonies in Asia are simply perpetual motion machines that support them. When Zhang Qiang travels through later generations, their influence in Asia is very strong, such as the top traitors in the Asian world, Singapore, and the secondary traitor Australia. Part of the population is actually Chinese, a country made up of Han Chinese, but they kneel and lick the British and rely on them as their biological parents.

It is because they used to be a colony of the British, and the British's destruction and ban on the Chinese nation was undeniable, not to mention the interference and damage caused by turning their hands into clouds and rain many times in the history of the country. There are shadows of the British in the shameful jump. The Japanese are all thugs of the British to limit the Chinese nation, and they have been used until the Americans took over this little brother and continued to use it.

So the most difficult thing to deal with in the West is the British.

While oppressing and exploiting their own people in North America, the British used immigrants who took refuge in their country to suppress their opponents. The French were very close to them, and most of their colonies were snatched from the French. Yes, in North America, the French, the Spaniards and even the Dutch arrived first, but the Dutch were driven into the sea because of disappointment, and the French were beaten and retreated.

The British are actually relatively unreasonable. For example, these are pioneered by immigrants and worked hard by themselves. It is only because of the relationship between fellow villagers that they hold together and continue to practice the British way. So the British came and took this The result is accepted.

This is to go to Nanyang with our people to open up the situation, and then the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty thought it was okay, here are people from our country, well, this place belongs to our colony, we will take care of you, these people are also I am used to being abused. Don’t put the concept of any country or nation in the future in the [-]th and [-]th centuries. There is no such thing. It’s just that the British are their mother country, so many of their things and relationships are in the UK, so the British If you come to manage them, you will naturally accept it.

In this regard, the Qing Dynasty is still incomparable to the Ming Dynasty, because they will never admit that the places where these people who fled to other places or do business have settled or lived are their colonies or land. They only hate these people, why don’t they just stay there? In the country, let them exploit and squeeze, if they are not obedient, they have to go outside to toss, barren land, or too far away, you are not easy to manage, move back, or arrest your nine clans in the country and behead them, you It is a traitor. Logically, the gap between Easterners and Westerners is too great, so the dignified Chinese nation did not seize the good time to expand their territory, the era of great navigation and the later colonial era.

And because the British exploited their own immigrants very much, many colonies in North America now don't listen to the British a little bit, and the British treat them badly, and some even don't care, so for the super domineering country in the future Appeared to plant a foreshadowing.

In fact, this incident was also provoked by the British. Of course, this time the British did not have such a long-term plan. It was provoked by those in the British colonies. Originally, the British and the French colonies clashed, but in the middle of the conflict there happened to be The Spanish warships came over and fired a few shots at the request of the British, killing many colonists in the French colonies. The French refused to let them go. The British patted their buttocks and left on the warships. So they looked for things to do with the Spanish colonies.

Originally, the French were dissatisfied and wanted to make troubles under the management of the Spanish. This time they directly clashed with the Spanish colonists. The cavalry on both sides fought for a few days and expanded to burn each other's villages. The conflict further escalated.

Of course, the British couldn't run away either. The colonies of the French and the British clashed and fought several times, but the scale was small.

Chapter 560, Conflict Zone 1

The Spaniards in North America have endured enough of the grievances of being constantly suppressed. Under the leadership of some irrational colonists, they fought a battle with the adventurers of the French colonies, and then the French taught them a lesson. Dozens of people were killed or injured in the family, which was nothing at all, but passed on from one level to the next, and the war between the two families escalated.

The French and Spaniards in Louisiana have been fighting for the colony here for a long time. In 1714, in order to appease the Spaniards and obtain the Spanish throne, France gave this place to the Spaniards, but many places were actually French immigrants. Under the management of the Spanish, it is inevitable that the two sides will escalate the war, so the colonists of the two countries are fighting each other in many places, which leads to the final colonial army, the two colonial armies fighting.

At this time, the Spaniards were still struggling with the new Qin State to compete for the northern part of Panama. Their troops were deployed in the northern part of Panama in Central America, so they suffered a big loss. Many colonies were occupied by the French colonial army. In a month and a half of conflict, officially escalated into war, the Louisiana Colonial Scramble War.

During the period, the British wanted to use their influence to adjust and continue to play their checks and balances. The Caribbean fleet has fought the Spanish fleet several times.

Who is good for this situation, of course it is good for the new Qin State. Although the Pacific Hawaiian Fleet of the Chinese Empire comes from time to time to serve as their escort fleet on the Pacific coast, after all, they have not opened the canal. The only warships that appeared were temporarily launched thousand-ton wooden sail-flying scissor-style iron-clad steam engine warships, or the kind of warships with sails, which could barely expel and patrol the Spanish pirates and French with single-masted sailing ships around the sea Pirates have no solution to the Spaniards' fleets that have been hovering in the ports of Argentina and Central America in South America.

The dozens of small boats with hundreds of tons passing through the canal can only serve as transport and pilots, as well as patrol and guard tasks. They can only protect the port from being attacked by the enemy within the range of the shore artillery, and other shoals that can be landed will not be attacked. The enemy put down the destructive raider landing team, and the others in the Pacific Ocean had no fleet protection, and could only passively defend after the Chinese Empire's fleet left.
