Lord of Ming Dynasty

The main battleship of the British is still chasing after, while those seriously injured warships are cleaning the battlefield behind. It is better to live and die than soak in the sea, and it is better to be captured by the enemy and survive.

As soon as the two sides chased and fled, the sky turned dark in a blink of an eye. A few hours passed. As the speed increased, the sky darkened. Zhang Siyuan led the fleet to successfully throw off the enemy by [-] nautical miles, but when they arrived, they were expected to meet Only dozens of officers and soldiers of transport ships and destroyers who were almost frostbitten floating in the sea were rescued.

The destroyers and transport ships, as well as the warships that the enemy had come to chase in advance, were gone.

After choosing a direction, Zhang Siyuan led the remaining two cruisers and four frigates to advance at a speed of twelve knots in the dark night.

The night is indeed a magician, and when they emerged from the darkness, the enemy fleet could no longer be seen behind them.

After some fighting and escaping overnight, they found their location. They were already in the deep waters in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. After contacting telegrams from various parties several times, Zhang Siyuan received an order to return to Xindingzhou to repair the warship. , report the situation.

The fleet began to turn to the coast of North America. After two days and one night of sailing, they appeared on the coast of 150 nautical miles off the coast of North America. Under the shadow of defeat, Zhang Siyuan successively sank five merchant ships that encountered the British. The merchant ships that were about to sink 25 tons of coal were snatched on board, and other goods and food supplies were enough to meet their half-month voyage needs.

Continue to penetrate fifty nautical miles along the coast of the British North American colonies. There are British and Spanish merchant ships, even French merchant ships, and Dutch merchant ships. After all, they are Europe and the West. As long as they don't deliberately find fault, the merchant ships of several of their countries can still continue sailing or hang the enemy's flag to deceive the British warships patrolling along the way.

After annihilating three enemy steam engine battleships that came out to escort them, they successfully looted a fleet of fifteen British merchant ships again. This time the seizure was very rich, not only seized more than 100 tons of coal, but also There are a lot of materials and a lot of gold and silver on the enemy's colonial islands, and many enemy personnel have been captured. As for the merchant ships, just kidding, what strength do they have now, wouldn't they let the enemy fleet catch up with the merchant ships and kill them?

So all the merchant ships were sunk, so they looted [-] enemy merchant ships, sank three enemy steam engine warships, and seized hundreds of tons of supplies in less than two days.

After sailing for hundreds of nautical miles, suddenly there were eight transport ships in front of them, and seven or eight escorting enemy's first-generation ironclad ships.

Seeing this, the eyes of everyone on the fleet lit up. Aren't these the last eight transport ships they rebelled against?

The fleet quickly caught up, and after three hours of chasing battle, four frigates went up to entangle the enemy's fleet, and two cruisers used their speed advantage to chase down the enemy's escaped transport ships, sinking them one by one, and then arresting and interrogating them. After interrogation, the telegram was still on board, but now it has to be chased, because the two transport ships are fleeing to the enemy's colonial port under the escort of two warships.

Leaving a cruiser to rescue the captives on the sunken ship and the captives who fell into the water, and return to join the frigate at the same time, Zhang Siyuan led the flagship to pursue quickly.

After chasing for an hour, the speed of the cruiser soared to 23 knots before catching up with the enemy. As soon as it came up, there was a salvo of fire. The bow of a transport ship Meng Meng sank and plunged into the water. It took a long time for it to slow down, but it couldn't Moved again, the other one fled towards the coast quickly behind the two destroyers that turned around and covered them. At this time, they were still about a dozen nautical miles away from the coast, and if they were fast, it would take more than 40 minutes to an hour. , after all, the speed of the transport ship is at least fifteen knots.

But Zhang Siyuan would let them go, and while dodging the firepower of the enemy destroyer and the outflanking of the destroyer, he quickly chased them. The distance of two nautical miles was quickly shortened to more than 300 meters under the fast pursuit of the warship. , the speed of the destroyer dropped to less than eight knots. Just when Zhang Siyuan was about to make persistent efforts, the watchman reported that there was an enemy patrol fleet coming to support him from the enemy's colonial coast, and there were still more than ten nautical miles left. just arrived.

"Nice, we hit them and they sank." The flagship captain said happily.

As a 128mm artillery shell hit a point below the waterline of the transport ship and exploded, the splashed water column directly caused the transport ship to roll over. The transport ship did not know how many passengers were on board, and they were all detained below the sea surface. Bubbles rose, like boiling water, some people, some lucky ones swam out from under the boat quickly, and then

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It took five days to return to the port of Xindingzhou with six warships. The warships entered the port. The port was heavily guarded, but there was no shortage of naval soldiers and officers who were repairing or maintaining the warships. looking at them.

For Xindingzhou, the people from Xindingyangzhou are outsiders. There is no way. China is like this. Southerners dislike northerners. Northerners laugh at southerners as monkeys. There are even rumors that Japanese are descendants of southerners. Southeast Asians are all descendants of southerners. The ancestors of people in Nanyang, the Philippines and other countries are actually people who were driven away or fled to Nanyang, Australia, the Philippines and other places to make a living. It’s just that they quickly reconciled with themselves and changed quickly. Just become foreign natives.

A country cannot avoid regional discrimination.

It is also unavoidable in the new Qin State, but there is one more thing, the mutual discrimination between foreigners and Han people, in this Han-dominated country, the discrimination of foreigners is unavoidable, although the above has repeatedly tried to reconcile this contradiction , and still wants to rely on foreigners to gain a firm foothold in the West, but with the aging of Li Ya and the retirement of Colonel Tang Yaweng who insisted on this view, this view has been shaken.

Because Westerners have brought reality, laziness and the pressure of survival. No one can escape reality and survival. This makes the prime minister and ministers become full of thoughts, especially the eldest son of the fourth prince has gradually After participating in political affairs, he has become a creature that sympathizes with Westerners. He feels that foreigners should also have the same living environment as Han people, but he is short-sighted and does not see the status and situation of the entire New Qin State in the West. Easing relations with the West, especially with the British colonies.

It is the thinking of many Han people that the war should be ended, common development, and no further expansion. Although they were born in the Huaxia Empire led by Zhang Qiang, who was expanding and vigilant, who are they? They are the same as the mainstream thinking of the Huaxia Empire. Those who were kicked out of the Chinese Empire on the contrary, their thoughts were messy, and they had not experienced the difficult days of foreign aggression in the first few decades of Zhang Qiang's founding of the country. They swarmed to resist and fight back.

In the days when they did not experience the ideological struggle with the backward dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, most of them wanted to be safe, but they didn't know that without the protection of war, they would be safe.

And the fourth prince is also old. His father died at the age of more than 100. Even if he was born later, he was already more than 70 years old. After being rescued, people began to enjoy themselves and stopped worrying about political affairs. The king has the support of the Chinese Empire outside, and after Wu Kejing has gone through many things and finally took the position of vice president, he also tends to be stable and negotiate peace with the British and Westerners, and what the British are most afraid of is peace talks. The best thing to do is to plant nails and take advantage of peace talks.

Therefore, in several secret negotiations with the British, they were at a disadvantage, but they also successfully delayed the decisive sea battle with the British. They were constantly shocked by the strength deliberately leaked by the British.

Seven fleets, each fleet is expected to reach 800 quasi-destroyers, 600 first-generation improved ironclad ships, [-] second-generation ironclad ships, and also prepare to equip dozens of large ocean-going warships similar to the cruisers of the New Qin State. After the conversion of these British fleets, the number of advanced British warships will reach more than [-], not to mention their original first-generation warships and second-generation warships also have such a large number, a total of [-] to [-] The number of armored ships, not to mention there are many steam engine battleships, about [-], all of which were steam engine battleships previously equipped by the British.

If you add the quasi-steam engine battleships that the British phased out, other large sailing battleships, and battleships, there will be more. They feel that the British battleships with countless numbers are flooding the sea and drowning them. In this intimidation, Even Li Ya, Zhao Shuai and the others who wanted to harden their hearts were in a state of turmoil.

Every time the new Qin State fought with other countries to the point where it was almost at the end of its rope. After a miserable victory, it re-equipped new warships. The number has never exceeded 700, and the number of advanced warships has been hovering at more than 100. The total number of warships in the country is [-]. Hundreds fluctuate up and down, if they have to face the overwhelming blockade and attack of tens of thousands of British warships, they find that they can't bear it, and the British can't consume it.

In this entanglement, they retreated many times, which delayed the sea conflict with the British. As for Spain, all they asked Zhang Siyuan to withdraw the people was because they didn't want to provoke the Spaniards. It was true, so they sent a team of negotiators to negotiate with the Spaniards, but to no avail.

They want to negotiate and ease in the rear, but in the lower level Zhuang Lin, Jin Lin, Song Qing, Wu Nan, Lu Fang and others don't want to solve the problem through negotiation. They all think that negotiation can't solve the problem. Now that the result of the battle has not come out, it is too late to negotiate. Early, it may be used by the enemy to compress the living space of the new Qin State.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Siyuan returned to Xindingzhou port, he settled down and waited for his superior Song Qing to be summoned. He heard the officers around him discuss the current situation, and heard that the new Qin State retreated, handed over Peru to the British, and allowed the British The Chinese took over the Peruvian colony through the newly repaired Panama Canal, and handed over a depot line in Venezuela, as well as most of Venezuela, leaving only a depot line intersecting with Colombia to the Macaibo Bay, and the other areas were returned to the Spaniards.

For this reason, the Spaniards released the four princes they captured before they were hunted down. There are still many guards left behind. The Spaniards recognize the new Qin State’s occupation of Colombia and southern Panama, and at the same time demand the benefits of the canal. But it was not promised. It was only promised that Spanish merchants could go back and forth to North America and South America to do business on both sides of the Pacific Ocean through the canal, but they had to pay taxes.

The Peruvian occupied area was handed over to the British, most of Venezuela was handed over to the Spaniards, and they occupied Colombia and the southern part of Panama. Zhang Siyuan seemed to have returned to Zhang Qiang and his descendants, a country that was used to poverty and inferiority. In the world, it is not hesitating to sell a lot of benefits, and it is not hesitating to be wronged. This is such a familiar scene. Spending money by yourself, spending the canal dug by others, is finally profited by others.

And what about the associated peer-to-peer returns?

The British fleet is still strengthening and encircling the Azores, cutting off the transportation between the Azores and Morocco bases, the mainland, Xindingzhou, and Panama. The Spaniards are still increasing the size and strength of the Caribbean fleet. The Puerto Rico squadron was ordered to withdraw to Macaibo Bay to take over the vacant guard duty after their fleet left. The remaining third of their squadron's strength was annexed by the major.

In other words, the establishment of their Panamanian squadron was cancelled.

The new Qin State promised to reduce the strength of the fleet near the Panama Canal in order to avoid misunderstandings by people from allies.

"Captain, you did a good job. Although the transport fleet and squadron suffered some losses, after all, you defeated the rebellion of the mercenaries, and at the same time ensured that our secrets were not stolen by the enemy. The transport fleet finally returned with [-] ships, and another three The crew on a ship was rescued, you were able to see through and stop the rebellion in time, and decisively took over the fleet. Many people praised you for your handling.

However, unfortunately, some harmonious voices are needed above, and some agreements have been reached with the Spaniards, so your squadron is disbanded. This is to not irritate the Spaniards and the British. It is impossible to use [-] warships, of which only [-] are the main battleships to deal with the siege of nearly [-] enemy warships.

Well, the remaining one-third of your squadron has been taken over by the Puerto Rico Squadron. It is impossible for you to return to the Panama Canal, so Governor Jinling decided to put you under my command, now on my side There is not a qualified naval commander who can fight, but... Well, I appoint you as the commander of the Second Squadron of the Coast Guard.

The commander of the Second Squadron of the Coast Guard is newly established by me for you. The words of the Coast Guard will not arouse the enemy's resentment. We cannot expand our main fleet. The four squadrons of the main fleet under my command have officers. So I can only wrong you to serve as the commander of the newly established guard.

I have reported your affairs and your appointment, and the Privy Council has also agreed to your appointment, I hope you can accept it. "

Admiral Song Qing of the Xindingzhou Navy had a meaningful conversation with Zhang Siyuan, which made Zhang Siyuan feel that he was actually angry, but he could not go against the decision of the above, and he became the commander of the second squadron of the Xindingzhou Coast Guard.

The rank of major.

Compared with others, this is a person with a legendary experience, because the upgrade is too fast. Although the new Qin Kingdom upgrades quickly, it is not as fast as him. The key is that when he is planning or encountering things , can always solve some things outside the scope and keep some things. Although he can't do his best, he can also use this to improve his military rank and take another, more senior position.

The Coast Guard seems to have been kicked out of the ranks of naval operations, which is tantamount to a place for the retirement of the navy. However, it has also returned to the ranks of fleet commanders from a battleship captain. Previously, he only replaced the traitor. The mercenary major commands the squadron, but in fact his position is still the captain of the cruiser.

The promotion of soldiers in the new Qin State is like this. It spirals upward. When you are a soldier, you can improve your rank through training and performance. When your rank reaches a certain level, then you can go to relevant positions for internships. In terms of qualifications, the lowest qualification is a three-month internship period. After three months, he was reborn as a formal officer, of course, he was originally a soldier officer, that is, a position such as deputy squad leader or squad leader.

If you don't have any outstanding performance in this position, such as leading troops or training, or participating in garrison missions, patrol missions, and accumulating meritorious service, you can get your seniority. The fourth-class soldier becomes the third-class soldier, and then you will be transferred to other units, of course, the recruit unit, as the squad leader, if you have not performed well in this position, you will be transferred Go back to the garrison and become a real soldier, because the soldiers in the garrison are [-]th and [-]rd class, and the [-]rd class may be the squad leader, but it is definitely not you, it is the veterans who have survived longer than you Qualifications, if you are outstanding, you may be able to be a deputy squad leader. If you are not outstanding, then you can only be regarded as an ordinary soldier in the garrison.

When the time comes, you can retire or apply for an extension of service. At this time, you will be given a deputy squad leader, because you are already a veteran.

If you perform well, you can be promoted. If you don’t perform well, you can continue to be the deputy squad leader. Maybe you can survive and become a recruit squad leader.

Officers, soldiers, turn alternately, rise alternately, get seniority, go out missions, accumulate credit, if you come back and perform outstandingly, you can be promoted to second-class soldier, or if you have accumulated seniority, you can be promoted to second-class soldier. If you perform well, you can only retire.

After retiring, you will receive generous rewards, your social status will be improved, and at least one unpopular position in the government department will be arranged for you as a leader.

Or go to the Coast Guard to be a logistics officer, or a small supervisor of the logistics department.
