Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Siyuan returned to Puerto Rico sadly with eight-tenths of the fleet missing. At this time, it had been about a week since the end of the war. The British were very annoyed. The previous forty warships were mobilized from various nearby ports and rushed down aggressively, appearing in the Windward Strait.

Then it was divided into two, some twenty warships searched for the Dutch colony, and some searched along the coastline to the Atlantic coast of Port-au-Prince below, trying to completely annihilate Zhang Siyuan's fleet.

Not wanting Zhang Siyuan to be cunning, he moved [-] nautical miles deep into the Atlantic Ocean before turning to continue driving back to Puerto Rico.

It was more than three days slower than the enemy's search fleet. It took the enemy ten days to go around the island of Port-au-Prince, and it took them a week to come back. At this time, the enemy had already entered the port of Port-au-Prince to rest tired.

Both sides just missed it.

Back in Puerto Rico, Zhang Siyuan listened to Baozi's report on guarding Puerto Rico during this period, and heard good news. Two days ago, the major of the first-class fleet who managed them arrived at the port with the main force of the first-class fleet and took over the defense of Puerto Rico. , Baozi could only continue to hide in the Virgin Islands, but the plan to infiltrate Port-au-Prince that he was asked to carry out was carried out without compromise.

Since the first-level auxiliary fleet took over here, and because Zhang Siyuan reported the serious loss of troops here, the major brought in three regiments of marines, and then divided the troops to take over all the port facilities, coastal artillery, and various defense points here. Order a third-level auxiliary fleet to load all the captives on the island on merchant ships and transport them back to the three South American countries. What awaits them is dark mine labor and continuous road and bridge construction. If they cannot reconcile with the British and Spaniards, Their captives cannot enjoy the original captive policy.

The captive policy is to be released after five years of labor, and automatically obtain the qualifications of foreign nationals in the New Qin Dynasty. After ten years, they are allowed to return to the country and leave on their own. This is very different from the previous captive policies of the New Qin State and the Chinese Empire. softened.

This is also the reason why these captives cooperate and do not make trouble. Most of the captives are very cooperative and can live. Why not live, especially Westerners. Their lives are very important. This should be praised. Any individual and their family should be commended. Higher than the country, higher than the nation, only on the premise of respecting the individual and the family, the country and the nation can have hope, and the country and the nation that ignores the individual and the family can only be a brutal country and nation, and will inevitably perish.

We can only guide and inspire them to sacrifice for the country and the nation, but we cannot force them to sacrifice involuntarily. To make sacrifices, they must be compensated, rich compensation, in terms of reputation and material, to meet the reasonable needs of individuals and families desire.

The major is an officer of the first-level auxiliary fleet. Compared with his former second lieutenant of the Marine Corps, the second lieutenant officer of the third-level auxiliary fleet is higher. Although his current rank is only one level behind the major, the major is a senior major. , Senior officers in the New Qin Army tend to have greater influence. He moved his fleet station from Macaibo Bay to Puerto Rico, which proves that he has begun to pay attention here, or that the New Qin State Panama New Dingyang Prefecture began Pay attention here, perhaps just to ensure that the fleet here will not be attacked by the enemy after a large-scale loss.

Now Zhang Siyuan has not reached the point of being noticed by him. Although he was the supervisor here before, his superiors can temporarily remove him from his post, one level down the next level. This is the default rule everywhere. He only needs to report Just one click.

When Zhang Siyuan came back, he didn't meet the superior who had never met before, because this major was just transferred from the main fleet to take over the first-level auxiliary fleet for a few months, and he had been stationed in Makaibo Bay before, assisting Luo Zuo to protect where coastal.

There was no fighting on the coast there because of the Spaniards' complete retreat from South America, so after he got familiar with it for a few months, he left it to a second-level auxiliary fleet under his jurisdiction, which is also an auxiliary first-level main fleet. The second-level auxiliary fleet, their first-level auxiliary fleet has three second-level auxiliary fleets, and one was introduced to be stationed in the port of Cologne, and later transferred to another Venezuelan port next to the French colony to assist in monitoring the Atlantic coast of South America Secondary Fleet of the Spaniards.

Because the overseas territories of the New Qin State are too scattered and far away, so many auxiliary fleets are equipped to guard the coast and overseas territories. This is the same as the colonial fleets of the Spaniards and the British. The equipment is not very good, or even old. However, they can maintain the order of the colonies and resist the plunder of other countries. As long as these fleets can withstand for a while, the main fleet will come to repel the enemy or send troops to the colonies of other countries.

Closer to home, Zhang Siyuan recruited Second Lieutenant Baozi here to learn more about the tasks he assigned, because the major had just been transferred, and he didn't pay enough attention to them, maybe he looked down on them, so he just took over the defense of Puerto Rico and other places, and the withdrawal of troops began For integration, many people will withdraw to Macaibo Bay or New Dingyang Prefecture, Panama, so he will not ask Zhang Siyuan, those troops and the tasks he deployed for a while.

"What's the situation now?" Zhang Siyuan asked.

"Report sir, now we have secretly occupied Mano Lake and are deploying to other ports, where we have deployed two captured Spanish steam engine warships.

Other troops were also secretly transported at night, but because there were too many prisoners, too many troops could not be mobilized, so it was just an idea now, and the small troops were still hiding on the island.

Now that you are back, and our captives were taken away by a third-tier auxiliary fleet, they are changing defenses, and we can send the troops that have been transferred to the island. "

Zhang Siyuan crossed his arms and said: "This is very difficult to implement. Although I am still the highest commander on the island, it is obvious that the troops are no longer under my control, and our actions must be reported to the higher authorities, otherwise we may be executed. military law."

Second Lieutenant Baozi shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and he was also helpless. Because Zhang Siyuan won the victory, he suffered a heavy loss. One can imagine his fate in the future. "Maybe we can send some more troops over there, and while the original troops are still listening to us, we can completely control both sides of the Mona Strait."

"Okay, tonight you will carry out the mission and send part of your fleet in the name of patrolling. I will send you two destroyers to escort and send two battalions up. A port is also occupied, and the small island in the middle of the strait is also stationed with a platoon of troops. In the future, a lighthouse will be built, and our fleet will be able to pass through the Mona Strait without hindrance. This strait is wider than the strait over there. I can make my final contribution to Puerto Rico's new Qin fleet here, and I have to meet the new boss tomorrow."

After Second Lieutenant Baozi left, Zhang Siyuan smiled. Although he won miserably and lost a lot, he has proved his ability, and the above will not fail to see that this task was arranged by himself, so it can be regarded as an unexpected little surprise. , It will definitely help my future career.

The first thousand and 590 chapters and three naturalized people's bosses

Zhang Siyuan only met his boss in the second week, a tall nose, deep eye sockets, broad forehead, about seven feet tall, broad shoulders, a huge guy with a stocky chassis.

In front of him, Zhang Siyuan looked a little slender and a little taller, but this did not affect his boss's indifference to him in the slightest.

Standing in front of the boss, with a navy cap in one hand, oh, by the way, the name of the navy, not the navy, was changed by the new Qin State after the Battle of the Panama Canal just ended a few months ago. The Coast Guard of the Chinese Empire is still called the navy, and the other overseas territorial fleets and main fleets have long been changed to the navy. Therefore, in the future, all the names of the navy and warship units in the new Qin state will be changed. After all, this is the West, and there is nothing wrong with calling it by Westerners.

Zhang Siyuan's boss is smoking a pipe from the West, wearing a modified military uniform of the New Qin State, which is close to the Western Navy cap, and a sea soul shirt from the Huaxia Empire, with a military rank logo hanging on his shoulder. Zhang Siyuan thinks this is nothing. Most of them are like this, but the Chinese Empire wears a logo on both shoulders. He agrees with this, but the New Qin Kingdom doesn't care about it, and he can't help it. The rules are not made by him, and maybe the New Qin Kingdom has their reasons.

His superior raised his head, biting his pipe, holding his report in his hand, looked at it for a while, put the report aside, and took the pipe from his mouth with one hand, "It should be said that you fought well, and the enemy's team has strengthened. You can take down the patrol team, which is pretty good, but you are incompetent as a qualified naval officer, oh, oh, it's not your fault, you were originally in the Marine Corps, and you spent most of your time as a The army was stationed on the shore, and part of the time was stationed on the battleship as a marine corps. After participating in several small battles and making several achievements, I thought I could lead the fleet to a decisive battle with the enemy. Oh, how can I say hello!"

While complaining, Zhang Siyuan's boss smoked a few puffs of the tobacco leaves in the pipe, and sometimes even pulled them a few times to make the red threads of the tobacco leaves burn more vigorously.Zhang Siyuan listened quietly. If Zhang Siyuan was young and energetic in the past, he would have thrown his hat and left long ago, but now he is an old tortoise who has traveled through time. Knowing that this is not good, many times, if his calmness and composure is majestic when facing his subordinates, it is provocative when facing his boss.

Zhang Siyuan didn't say a word, he knew that what he said now would be tricked by his boss, so he might as well not say anything and wait for the moment of punishment to come.

Seeing that Zhang Siyuan was silent and his boss had nothing to do with him, the two were silent for a moment, and then his boss said: "The reason why I haven't arranged for you for so long is because I'm waiting for the decision from above. Now I can Yes, Captain Zhang, in view of the fact that you have caused heavy losses to the fleet, you are now revoked from your position as the commander of the Puerto Rico Islands, and you are downgraded to the commander of the fleet, and you are still the commander of the second-level auxiliary fleet. The extra third-tier auxiliary fleet is now assigned to my second-tier auxiliary fleet."

Zhang Siyuan had expected this a long time ago, so he remained silent, waiting for his boss to continue.

The boss glanced at him and saw that he didn't justify or resist. He was very annoyed, but he couldn't get angry. After all, he was the boss. He stood up, held a pipe, and said with his hands behind his back, "In addition, the people under your second-level auxiliary fleet The third-level auxiliary fleet is also limited to one, there is no reconnaissance fleet, the establishment of the reconnaissance fleet is assigned to my main fleet, and I will set up another reconnaissance fleet under my main fleet. You Do you have any comments?" He turned around and asked Zhang Siyuan.

Zhang Siyuan shook his head, his boss was very satisfied, nodded and said: "In this case, your fleet will be reduced to the size of a third-level auxiliary fleet, which is just as capable as yours."

Zhang Siyuan is a little annoyed at this point, he really looks down on himself, he understands what his boss thinks, he wants to oppress and disintegrate his second-tier fleet through the losses caused by his tragic victory, the purpose is to divide the establishment from himself, and give himself Because the establishment of the new Qin State is dead, but they can find a way to increase their fleet size and establishment by annexing the fleet establishment of other disobedient officers, or even usurping their fleet.

Occasionally, it’s okay to over-edit one or two, and the higher-ups will not care about you. As long as it is within your authority or the over-limit is not too large, it will acquiesce, because now the new Qin State is facing the powerful British and the Spaniards who are unwilling to fail. Even the Portuguese who secretly communicated, or the French who fell on both sides.

After such allocation, his fleet was left with the third-level auxiliary fleet of Second Lieutenant Baozi. After the loss of his main fleet, he was allocated the reconnaissance fleet, a transport fleet that should have been established but was not established, and a super-manufactured three-tier fleet. Level three auxiliary fleet, now I only have Baozi's third level auxiliary fleet and the seriously damaged main fleet.

"Sir, the loss of my fleet is serious and I request to replace the warships, and the captured British warships will also be sent to the Panama shipyard for repair," Zhang Siyuan finally said.

"Since this is the case, well, I allow you to take your fleet back to the Panama shipyard to repair the battleship, but you don't have to keep your cruiser. I still lack a cruiser in one of my second-level auxiliary fleets, and you As a captain, you can also own a cruiser. The commander of the cruiser should be a major. You hand over your cruiser flagship to my major officer, and then go quickly with your second-level auxiliary fleet and third-level auxiliary fleet. "

Zhang Siyuan turned around and was about to leave, "Oh, by the way, I heard that the firepower of the four first-class battleships improved this time is good, you can ask the third-class auxiliary fleet to keep the remaining two ships, and then you can take the rest, right , then drag away all the rags you picked up from the sea, and take away about [-] prisoners. There are not so many places to eat here, and send them to Macaibo Bay to hand over to the army commander of Major General Luo Zuo, and then return Panama."

Zhang Siyuan had to calm down, why is this guy so annoying, he has made an inch of it, but he still can't reason with this guy, contradicting Shangguan is a serious crime.

After saluting, Zhang Siyuan and his flagship captain walked out. The flagship captain didn't say anything, just accompanied him to the training, and started complaining as soon as he came out.

"What is this? A naturalized person, pointing fingers, began to accuse us Han people of coming. He really thought he was a big man. These naturalized people are naturally out of touch with us. They are so cold Faintly, they are still too stingy and play tricks, but many people are very cunning and will curry favor with their bosses. After their positions surpass their bosses, they turn around and trample their bosses under their feet. They are really nothing, and our new Qin State is too good for them. Wait for Rong, if I am at the top, I will definitely not be as good as them."

The captain of the flagship is a sincere person, one of the first batch of people who came to the new Qin State, experienced the British large-scale attack on the neighboring peninsula, and became a captain from a low-level sailor. After more than 20 years, he is now nearly forty , and Zhang Siyuan get along well.

The first thousand and 590 chapters are uncertain

In the Chinese Empire, Zhang Qiang was very wary of naturalized people. Once these people did not wholeheartedly become Han people, did not follow the customs of the Han people, did not recognize themselves as Han people, and did not educate their descendants to be Han people, then they would definitely be immigrated to the desolate Most of these people will die naturally due to the march and the suffering environment in the desolate place. The fate of these people must be tortuous.

Those who resist the naturalization of the Han people, or are dissatisfied with the customs of the Han people, or do not agree with the Chinese nation, will all be distributed to the frontiers, and Siberia is the most distributed. The harsh environment of Siberia makes it very easy for the Chinese Empire to eliminate these people, even after these people go out Run away, don’t be afraid, where the environment will destroy them, plus the pursuit of the garrison, and the encirclement and isolation of the garrison militia, reporting, it is difficult for them to survive. Of course, many people may have various abilities to adapt to the environment and survive. But they are less and less in number after all.

The Siberia of the Chinese Empire is the North America of the British, Siberia of the Soviet Union, Mexico of the United States, and Ningguta of the Qing Dynasty. They are all places where prisoners and some disobedient people are exiled.

Over the years, with the improvement of the political situation and the succession of emperors and ministers from generation to generation, their life has become easier, and with the vigorous development of Siberia's construction, it is not so difficult everywhere, and the number of deaths has dropped sharply. Zhang Qiang's son The third child and the second child paid great attention to the recovery and recuperation of the people's livelihood, and because all the other dissatisfied aliens were exhausted in various battles, or fled cleanly, the Chinese Empire has achieved great unification.

The atmosphere has eased down, and some former ethnic groups are allowed to show their ancient ethnic customs and characteristics, but their living habits and concepts are already Han people's concepts. They speak Mandarin all over the country, and local dialects are allowed, but they cannot be formed without difficulty. Knowing words, in some marginal areas, dialect accents are allowed, some inaccurate phonetic symbols are allowed, and some language features are allowed, but they are not allowed to publicize, because what Zhang Qiang instilled in his sons and ministers in later generations is that language is cohesion and a The most basic foundation of the country may be turbulent in the future, but no matter how turbulent it is, as long as we speak a unified language, learn a unified Chinese character, and a unified knowledge system, then we will still be Chinese, people of the Chinese Empire, and nothing will happen. There are twists and turns.

But if the language is not unified and the writing is not unified, then we are people from two countries. This situation is absolutely not allowed in the Chinese Empire. When encountering resolute suppression and banning, all people will be sent to the frontiers, and they will be sent to the bitter cold to be wiped out. .

In the new Qin State, because most of the people who fled came here, there are Chinese orthodox Qingliu, that is, the unified Han country that Zhang Qiang wants to create. A small amount of rich ethnic characteristics are allowed, but language and writing are not allowed. ; There are also those naturalized people who fled, such as some surviving Central Asian nations, it is difficult for you to erase their own national characteristics, such as those who were willing to naturalize when the Russians surrendered in Siberia, and some determined naturalized people from the Qing Dynasty Huaren, as well as those descendants of Han families who cannot be eliminated in Nanyang. They are mixed with Dutch and local aborigines. In fact, they are not of Han blood in their bodies, but they are included in the Chinese Empire. The transformed Huaxia Han people are naturalized people, but the Huaxia nation can integrate with other ethnic groups, but the firm genetic characteristics of other ethnic groups are difficult to erase.

There has never been any problem with why Japan is so strong in later generations. It can be united to the outside world, and no country can complain. It is because of the unified nation that advances and retreats together.

This is not to say good things for Japan, but because we want to see the strengths and benefits of others, and think about our shortcomings in reverse. The enemy's strengths, learn from others' strengths, and see if they are suitable for us. Some people's strengths are learned from others, but they are our own weaknesses. Formal lyrical music rejects it. You can't kill all the good points of the enemy just because you dislike the enemy. You never learn, but you blindly learn the dross of others and use it to ruin your own culture and social structure.

While walking with his flagship captain, Zhang Siyuan was thinking about these things, his mind seemed to be unable to stop, he kept thinking about these things, and suddenly realized that everything he thought was false, maybe this time he would go back to the fleet The position of the commander may not be guaranteed, and he will become the captain of a cruiser just like the captain of the flagship, and he may not be able to be the captain of a cruiser.

Because cruisers can only be served by at least the rank of major, as the system of the new Qin State becomes more and more standardized, the captain of the transport ship can be a retired veteran or a senior merchant captain, or a fisherman captain, or a sailor. A corporal of a division, or a corporal of the navy, but the captain of the auxiliary fleet, the captain of a Type [-] ironclad ship must be a sergeant, a Type [-] sergeant, and a Type [-] second lieutenant, that is, the destroyer must be a second lieutenant , The old ones can be served by other officers, but there are also people at the sergeant major level, reserve warrant officers, or warrant officers, and reserve second lieutenants.

The commander of the transport fleet must be a warrant officer, the commander of the third-level auxiliary fleet must be a second lieutenant, the second-level auxiliary fleet must be a lieutenant, and the first-level captain must be a captain. It is the captain, the cruiser is generally served by the major, the capital ship is served by the major, or the lieutenant colonel, and the commander of the capital ship is the colonel.

However, in some systems, the new main battleships are also served by experienced old captains, because after all, they have rich experience. Majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels generally become commanders, and gradually change from battleship commanders to fleet commanders. command post.
