Lord of Ming Dynasty

And I, the naval commander of the Morocco base, Zhang Siyuan, is now leading the fleet to attack the enemy's ports in Portugal at intervals. The Portuguese have protested many times, but in this situation, I don't think it is necessary to abide by the agreement we signed with the Portuguese. agreement, because the Portuguese provided our enemies with ports and piers to attack us, as well as supplies, and also sent patrol ships to help the British and Spaniards blockade the ports, so we cannot unilaterally abide by the agreement signed with the enemy, we should let Portugal Man tastes betrayal.

Although we have made great achievements, we have kept the Moroccan base, blocked the Mediterranean Sea, disrupted the enemy's deployment, and successfully wiped out the enemy's Mediterranean Fleet and part of the Spaniards' local fleet, and the British Mediterranean Fleet. The situation is that we are also blocked in the Mediterranean by the powerful British and cannot get out.

Now that we have controlled the most dangerous artery in the Mediterranean Sea, one side of the Strait of Gibraltar, and suppressed the threat of the enemy's artillery fire to the Strait with artillery fire, we will continue to put pressure on the Portuguese and the Spaniards, but at this time, we are severing In order to communicate with the mainland and my superiors, the superiors did not contact us, and we would not have the callsign of the superiors. Although the superiors had our callsigns, we did not receive any instructions from the superiors.

Let's put it this way, I personally had a little dispute with Major Xiao Nan, no, it should be Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Nan now, and I have a deep premonition that the Azov Islands Fleet and the Azov Islands group are very important to our team from the new city. The contempt, neglect and exclusion of the Yangzhou fleet.

Your Excellency Governor, I hope you can re-accept us as a member of the New Dingyangzhou Fleet and give us help.

This help may be to alleviate our misunderstanding with the Azores Fleet, or it may be to urge the Azores Fleet to continue to contain the enemy, and to give us guidance and support. After all, we are considered reinforcements, and you are sent to support the Moroccan base. One of the five fleets of the main fleet of the Speed ​​Islands, if possible, please send us a secret force to land from the land in southern Africa, and we will send personnel to pick them up.

This secret staff includes shipyard construction and maintenance personnel, warship construction and maintenance personnel. We have already lost many warships. We need ports and shipyards to resupply and repair our warships. We don't have them yet. Ability to break through the enemy's blockade and return to the Xinding Yangzhou base, please help us, unless you want to give up on us, but in this way, I think all the personnel in the kingdom who are fighting outside will feel a deep chill. "

This is a request letter from Zhang Siyuan to Governor Lu Fang's mansion. He is now counting on Lu Fang to help him, at least to send some army or mercenaries to help him maintain the defense of this port base, or dispatch a fleet outside Give him a hand and let him withdraw to rest in Xinding Yangzhou.

Xinding Yangzhou had already been upgraded and remodeled in the shipyard when he left, and now he can basically carry out the construction and maintenance of the main battleship, and as the new Qin State continues to be under pressure from the British to build more warships, Xinding Yangzhou has its own warship construction factory, and the speed can be accelerated.They obtained built warships from the mainland, also obtained warships from Xindingzhou, and built some of them themselves.

The last time Xinding Yangzhou got news about their fleet was when Jin Qishun was there. It is said that Lu Fang’s main fleet has reached 68 battleships, and all of them are main battleships. There will only be more cruisers and destroyers. The scale is equivalent to that of the enemy. super fleet.

Each of the three squadrons also has 70 warships, including [-] main battleships, [-] cruisers, [-] destroyers, and more than [-] other warships, about [-] ships.

In this way, adding the three squadrons and the eliminated warships of the Coast Guard, they are equivalent to the sum of the number of warships of the enemy's two super fleets, and a little more.

The British have the largest super fleet with more than 100 main battleships, second-generation ironclad ships, and other improved first-generation ironclad ships, adding up to more than 100 ships, and about 100 other auxiliary warships, which together form a super fleet More than 200 warships.

The main fleet and sub-fleet of Xinding Yangzhou, after Zhang Siyuan left, the coast guard made up their minds and expanded rapidly, and soon exceeded the size of four hundred ships, which is not equivalent to the two super fleets of the British. scale up.

If you are determined to fight, there are some excellent naval generals, then with these warships, plus the new Dingzhou Fleet will definitely need more warships than the New Dingzhou Fleet, because they are more important, and the shipbuilding has been realized early The factory has the autonomy to independently build a series of warships such as main battleships, and has a certain degree of freedom. It can be said that the combined size of these two overseas territories alone has nearly 200 warships. If multiple fleets are dispatched to contain If the enemy and the main fleet work together to pinch an enemy super fleet, a British super fleet will soon be wiped out.

Once you come and go, it is very likely to unblock the enemy of the Azov Islands. Of course, this kind of consumption must be considered when the new Qin State wants to fight this kind of battle. The higher you go, the more careful you are, the bigger your home is, you need to worry More and more, there is nothing wrong with it, but Zhang Siyuan doesn't like this posture of wasting time asking for peace from the enemy.

He wrote the telegram and asked the telegraph staff to use his private call sign to call the Governor's Mansion and the original Macaibo Bay Fleet. As for whether they received the report or not, whether Lu Fang wanted to help him was beyond his control. .

He had now begun to think for himself and the fleet.

He is now in a different position from Jin Qishun. He was born in the Wunan Fleet and was recommended by Song Qing. He was born in the Marine Corps and sent to the Navy Marine Corps for training. After training in the Army, he rose up in the Navy Fleet .

That is to say, he rose from the grassroots, and others are from Bole, and the starting point is different.

It has been half a month since the telegram was sent, and his fleet, as always, played hide-and-seek with the British fleet, attacking the British patrol fleet at the exit of the strait, bombarding the Portuguese port, and the destroyer fleet returned to the Mediterranean Sea from time to time to bombard Spain, which was destroyed by them. People's ports and docks, intercept the enemy's sailing merchant ships sneaking away.

Almost all the Spanish ports in the Mediterranean were destroyed. As long as the steam engine warships were all destroyed, all the shipyards were destroyed, but some small shipyards in the inland rivers that could build sailboats were not destroyed, and his fleet would not take risks. Go to the enemy's inland river to destroy those ships and shipyards, so the Spaniards can still use sailing ships to secretly conduct offshore maritime trade.

"Is there still no reply?" He approached the flagship's telegraph room again and asked.

The persistent telegraph operator shook his head, and Zhang Siyuan left disappointed.

The first thousand 620 nine chapters where to go

It seems to be abandoned by the whole world, Zhang Siyuan feels like this now.

Suddenly without a goal to strive for, others become decadent.

The port of Ceuta is still being perfected, the fleet is still under attack and continuous maintenance, and the Huceima Moroccan base behind them has nothing to do because of their suppression of the Spaniards and the British. They are still resisting Spain on land Due to the terrain, the port of Ceuta is wrapped in mountains, and there is only one road leading to the outside world, so the Spaniards just blocked the land passage leading to the outside world, and did not attack, because it was too much work Yes, their main purpose is to capture the Huceima port, where is their goal.

It's not that Zhang Siyuan has never considered capturing land on land and then seizing the enemy's port from the Atlantic coast to gain a way out. The problem is that the British super fleet is too powerful. Even if they seize the port, they can't hold it. No one can hold it. Can't get out, what use is a port without warships for a fleet?

Lieutenant Baozi did not know when he came behind Zhang Siyuan. After coughing, he saw Zhang Siyuan turn his head in a daze and said to Zhang Siyuan: "Sir, our warships attack too frequently. There were originally 22 destroyers. Even if we replace The steam engines and boilers of those old battleships were removed, and now we only have twelve ships that can go to battle. Should we reduce the intensity of our battles? We have already wiped out nearly [-] enemy warships."

Just as Lieutenant Baozi left, Fleet Commander Zhang Yuan came again, "Sir, I want to say that our warships lack maintenance. With our current maintenance conditions, we cannot maintain bigger problems, we can only replace them. But the warships that have been lost all the time make it impossible for us to continue this kind of operation. Our cruiser lost one last time, but there were no replacement parts, so we could only stay in the port with serious injuries.

My frigate fleet now only has eleven ships, and the replacement parts of other warships cannot allow us to replace more warships, which means that if we lose again, we can only lose one less, Eventually we'll go from Navy Navy to Marine Corps.

More importantly, the loss of our sailors cannot be replenished. Our battleships need technical personnel to maintain. The gunners can be trained simply, and they can fire guns anyway. They can maintain steam engines, boilers, pipelines, and sailors who are familiar with how to fight on battleships are always there. There were more than 6000 people when we came, but now there are only 200 experienced sailors. Many positions can only be taken over by senior Marines, such as gunners and lookouts, and combatants can only take over. Choose from army soldiers, handymen and doctors, damage control can only choose from mercenaries. "

"Then send an order to go back to the Morocco base and ask them to send the remaining sailors and marines to hide in the port and not fight or patrol. They really think they are the king of heaven." Zhang Siyuan was angry. He patted the guardrail of the cruiser and roared.

Zhang Yuan said with some helplessness: "We can't move any of the remaining personnel, the navy or the army, they just follow Xiao Nan and ignore us."

"Send people back to persuade sailors and marines who sympathize with us or are willing to go with us, even if they are from the army, come here, send destroyers back, count as many people as you can pick up. We must maintain this situation. One day here, the Spaniards will be suppressed for one day, and the British will lose a little. The Spaniards will put pressure on the British, and they will continue to send people to die. If we can consume a little more of the strength of the British, we will consume a little more. It is the last thing we can do for the new Qin State."

Hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, Zhang Yuan shook his head, and said dejectedly: "No, I tried, they almost detained the destroyer I sent, they escaped back, but fortunately, they finally got something, where did we stay before?" More than 100 wounded were brought back by the destroyer, and we have more than 100 sailors."

"Why don't we fight back and take over, anyway, I'm the supreme commander there." Zhang Siyuan said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Yuan’s expression changed drastically, and he said anxiously: “Sir, it’s no good, Xiao Nan is also a teacher. Although you are the highest officer somewhere, you have not reached the position of admiral. According to the current situation, your position is only an agent base. Commander, but in fact your rights have not reached that level. The iron barrels run by Xiao Nan in the base are average. After Chief Jin Qishun left, although you have carried out some activities, after all, they have been there for a long time, and their foundation is more solid than yours, and Attacking your own base, Xiao Nan can accuse you of treason, and then we will be the judges of the new Qin Kingdom."

"Forget it, how about the interception of those Han ships from Turkey, Russia, and Eastern Europe going to the new Qin State?"

Zhang Siyuan waved his hand, put aside this troublesome matter for the time being, and asked about the source of the new Qin State's population all along.

"So far we have intercepted 300 people. These people did not go to the base in Morocco, but came here. More than 800 of them are useless civilians. They may be able to farm, at most they can carry guns and fight on land Of the remaining more than 500 people, only more than 100 people have worked on merchant ships. They can be assigned to coal bunkers, handymen, doctor's assistants, or gunners, or lookouts, observers, and of course damage control teams. These departments are cultivated and can be gradually improved in the future.

There are more than 100 people who have rich experience in land combat. They have participated in the battles in Russia and Turkey. They can be incorporated into the army for training, and then supplement the marine corps or Han Chinese regiment.

The remaining dozens of people are foreigners, who can be incorporated into the mercenary regiment and temporarily be able to do the work of guarding the prisoners. While training, let them replace some of the work of the mercenary regiment and the cavalry regiment, patrol or guard the prisoners.

In other words, relying on people from here to supplement us, we must make long-term preparations. "

Zhang Siyuan walked around on the deck of the cruiser with his hands behind his back. Now he has no system, no historical memory, and no skills to show off. He can only rely on his own skills and his own situation to consider and solve the problem. The problem, but with his thinking, the idea of ​​starting a new stove has long been deeply ingrained in his mind. As an emperor who once created a great empire, how can he be satisfied when he has a chance to be reborn and start again? The small navy's fleet squadron commander, a small base commander.

There must be a way.

There must be a way.

But the current method is relatively slow. Accumulating the population from Russia and Turkey is to copy the old way of the rise of the new Qin state. This is not his idea. It is his idea to swallow the new Qin state, so that the new Qin state can operate according to its own ideas.

He was disappointed that his son only played internal power struggles, and that Wu Kejing didn't think about making progress after he came to power.

The first thousand and 630 chapters will be weak to the end

After Zhuang Lin, Wu Kejing, and Wu Nan clearly opposed the concession policy of Wu Kejing and Wu Nan at the court meeting, the new Qin State became even more unbearable and chaotic.

Lu Fang sat with the visiting Luo Zuo holding Zhang Siyuan's request for help. The two of them looked at the bustling crowds in the port of Cologne, and at the ever-expanding city of Han Chinese, indigenous people, Mexicans, and North American immigrants. Spaniards and businessmen are busy in this city, not talking to each other, just silent.

On the second day, Zhuang Lin was dismissed by Zhao Shuai, the envoy of the Privy Council, and Wu Nan, his superior. He could only protect Zhuang Lin from being liquidated, and retired as a former naval logistics minister with the rank of lieutenant general.

Song Qing was not dismissed, but she was also sent to the position of logistics minister to be idle. It seemed that she would not be allowed to do real things. Her position of deputy chief of staff was taken over by Wu Kejing with a British overseas Chinese name.

This British expatriate was the commander of the British fleet who was captured for the first time and was defeated in the first battle. He was in the new Qin State for 20 years, and he spoke Chinese very fluently. The qualifications of the common people were released, and three years later, they became a businessman of the New Qin Kingdom, mainly traveling with the United Kingdom to send some supplies that were in short supply in the New Qin Kingdom at that time, and then became a captain in the transport fleet for another three years, a total of 16 years Became the director of a major officer in the mercenary system of the Transportation Materials Management Department of the New Qin State's Local Logistics Department.

In four years, he was promoted to the deputy director of the mercenary system of the logistics department, with the rank of major general. The chief minister is a Han Chinese, a grandnephew of Colonel Tang Yaweng, who was recruited from the Chinese Empire later, and is about 50 years old.

When mercenaries were advocated, foreigners could gain high-level power and compete with Han people for high-level positions, he was transferred away to serve as the logistics minister of the overseas territory of Xindingzhou, and he was fully responsible for the logistics of the entire Xindingzhou, including civilian use, The army, navy, and the overall logistics of the Xindingzhou mercenary system and the alien system can be regarded as promotions.

The foreigner Briton took over from him as the logistics minister of the foreign mercenary system, and within a few months he took control of the logistics supply of the foreign people and became the head of the logistics headquarters of the foreign and mercenary system. His military rank is still the rank of major general.

Now he replaces Song Qing, who has deep qualifications and prestige, as the new powerful new Qin state of the Han people, as the deputy chief of staff of the Ministry of the Navy. Instead of the new Qin State, which is a vassal of the Huaxia Empire, the goal of being a real kingdom is being realized step by step.
