Lord of Ming Dynasty

With the end of the war, the Portuguese were licking their wounds, and their fleet was wiped out. Although some warships were redeemed, they were too rotten and crippled, only enough to maintain some daily patrols and security work. On the other hand, the New China Kingdom was very busy. Nearly [-] captured warships and ships were repaired one after another, and then put into active service. The Coast Guard had returned to the size of the fleet mainly consisting of armed transport ships and armed merchant ships.Three coast guards, one in the Mediterranean port of Huceima, one in the port of Tangier at the mouth of the strait, and one in the port of Lussel in Spain. The coast guard in the port of Lussel is the rebuilt third coast guard.Each coast guard has a total of thirty armed transport ships and armed merchant ships, and a squadron of seven patrol boats.

The patrol combat boat squad is mainly based on the steam engine warships that were not redeemed by the Spanish and Portuguese, and a British first-generation ironclad ship was strengthened as a command boat.

The destroyer squadron has expanded a lot, with 61 ships.

The damaged warships of the new main battleships have been repaired, and now there are thirty new main battleships, but this is the largest number. The parts of the newly built main battleship have been removed, which just speeds up the construction speed of the new main battleship in the Bensu port. Now it has been built more than half, and it is estimated that it will be launched into the water in three months.

The number of frigates did not increase, but there were fifteen ships. During the battle, the frigates lost a lot, and the destroyers lost a lot, and almost all of them were destroyed. However, the destroyers can be compensated by the captured British and Spanish main battleships, but the frigates have high requirements, at least Only the second-generation improved main battleships of the British can be added. In comparison, even the main main battleships of the British are worse than the main battleships of the New Qin Kingdom, while the main battleships of the New China Kingdom were developed by them. A new type of warship with a 152mm main gun, the main battleship of the New Qin Kingdom can only be relegated to the level of frigates.

As the strength of the New China Kingdom gradually recovered, the Spaniards became more and more anxious, and the land offensive became more and more violent. A mercenary brigade and a Han regiment, a Han cavalry regiment, and a Han regiment were dispatched from the coast. The Han Artillery Corps went into battle, and the casualties on both sides reached more than 1 people in half a month. But for the New China Kingdom, it was not their own people who died anyway, because they were all prisoners and foreign civilians. Han people rarely died. The scale of the army is not large, at most, they can go to the front line to feel the atmosphere, and then invest in one or two counterattacks.

With the end of the war, more and more Han Chinese came back from the Mediterranean and other Western countries. In half a month, more than 1 Han people were added, and 2000 young and strong people were put into recruit training. After completion, the number can be expanded. A marine regiment, to supplement the loss of the navy, the personnel eliminated from the training can also supplement the infantry and artillery to the various Han brigades, and some cavalry materials were drawn to supplement the cavalry.

Some of the Han elites consumed in this way were replenished by the newcomers. The strength of the Han troops in the New China Kingdom did not lose much, but increased. Although the increase was not much, the combat effectiveness was weakened because of the newcomers. The number of people has maintained a continuous development situation, and with the joining of nearly [-] Han Chinese people, the Han Chinese foundation of the New China Kingdom has increased a little bit.

The New Huaxia Kingdom and the New Qin Kingdom relied on the most basic background support of the Han population in the West. Because the New Qin Kingdom had taken refuge in the British, or had a tendency to take refuge in the British, the internal divisions and disunity of the New Qin Kingdom began, which made the operation difficult. It started to become dull, because to cater to the British policy, the British are a shrewd nation. The first step they did was to limit the population of Han Chinese, and the second step was to increase the number and employment of British people in the mercenary system. The power of the military system in the New Qin State, all the important departments of the New Qin State were all Han Chinese, and now even the important departments are open. Many mercenary generals and scientific and technological talents with great achievements in the past have entered The middle-level imperial court of the New Qin Kingdom is developing towards the high-level and decision-making levels.

The original New Dingzhou Army mercenary general John Nelson was more loyal, but he was British and French after all, and the Prussians were of the three countries. He was a Westerner. The British secretly supported him to transfer back to the mainland. The deputy commander is in charge of the mercenaries. Even if Zhao Shuai and the others are in a daze, the commander-in-chief cannot release them to the mercenaries. They also know that if they don’t have the bargaining chip of the Han Chinese, they will be swallowed by the British in the end, so don’t treat some treacherous ministers as The things they do are destroying the ecological environment of their own country, but they are not stupid at all. They know how to seize the most important power and protect their own foundations, so they can stand tall, but they oppose the destruction of their honest and loyal ministers sometimes. Power is stronger than traitors.

For example, Sweeping Thunder doesn't have these political savvy, and they know how to protect themselves at critical moments.

One month after the end of the war, the British did not send any super fleet to the European Atlantic coast of Spain and Portugal, and there was no super fleet on the African coast, because the British were held back by the Caribbean sea battle, because the French As a tip, although the French fleet can’t beat the British fleet, they get support from the Dutch and can control the New Qin State. The New Qin State has always used the French to maintain a balance and tacit understanding. Some warships of the New Qin State were transferred and sold to The Dutch fought against the British in the Caribbean, and the two sides fought fiercely there. The scale and tragedy of the battle was no smaller than the battle between the Kingdom of New China and the British at the mouth of the Strait of Gibraltar. And even more intense.

In order to weaken the overseas territories of Xindingzhou and Xindingyangzhou, the mainland of Xinqin sent its own warships to its direct lineage Wunan Fleet, and at the same time ordered Xindingzhou and Xindingyangzhou to send their auxiliary warships and some The backward main warships were sold to the Dutch. Generally speaking, the new Qin State is still on the road of fighting against the British, but the high-level leaders are slowly being corroded by the British conspiracy.

Generally speaking, due to the containment of other places, the British could not spare time and troops to retaliate against the New China Kingdom, and the New China Kingdom took advantage of this time to recover.

The first thousand 690 chapters of the second aid

The Spaniards are constantly attacking, negotiating, fighting on and off, and they are comfortable, and Zhang Siyuan doesn't want to end this situation. Fighting, what a good opportunity, why not do it if you can train soldiers?

He not only trains mercenaries, but also keeps dispatching Han Chinese brigades, constantly exchanging blood, and constantly training. The two sides compete with each other, and their technical level continues to rise. The loss here is small, and it is getting smaller and smaller. They have occupied 150 kilometers of land in Spain, and the resources on this land alone can be used a lot.

The consumed population is the foreign population of mercenaries. Very few foreign mercenaries can survive a week in such a war. Sometimes Zhang Siyuan even asks Wei Yuanchao to drag the whole family of foreign civilians up, and then let the Spaniards succeed. Even if the people were captured, they would have to lose 1000-[-]% first, [-] people, that is, [-]-[-] people were captured, plus [-]-[-]% of the casualties, half of the foreign people were harmed by them.

The Spaniards keep getting these foreign people, some of them are killed, some are sold as slaves, but as long as they are alive, they have to be fed, so their consumption is great, and here they continue to transfer the Moroccan foreign population to the Spaniards. In less than two months, as many as 50 people were sent away. Among them, 20 million were killed or injured, and 20 million were captured by foreigners. The population of the tribes loyal to them has been greatly reduced, and the population recruited from Turkey and Central Asia is supplemented by at least a few hundred people a month. Of course, the supplementary population is Han or naturalized Han population. The population of Central Asia and Eastern Europe is constantly losing, and some of them are ordinary poor people in the Qing Dynasty, banner people. After these people came here, they quickly made up for the population loss here, occupied the land here, and enriched the Han people in the New China Kingdom. population base.

Compared with the New Qin Kingdom, the New Huaxia Kingdom is thousands of miles, nearly [-] kilometers closer to the Huaxia Empire, and it is easier to obtain these populations.

However, this is easy and relative. With the long-term management of the Chinese Empire, the number of people who can flow out of Central Asia is getting smaller and smaller, and Siberia has gradually begun to develop. Railways, highways, roads, and even some mountain trails are being used. The huge manpower was developed, and after nearly a hundred years of business operation by the merchants of the Chinese Empire, it has long been a paradise, except for some prisoners who were relegated, or because the Siberian Han people who yearned for the prosperity of the Central Plains of the Chinese Empire fled back and were sent back to continue serving their sentences. The Huaxia Empire continued Zhang Qiang's way of dealing with these people at that time, selling some Han criminals who could not be suppressed to the Qing Dynasty, Russia and Turkey as cannon fodder or slaves, the population gradually stabilized and no longer flowed.

After so many years of dealing with the excess population, and the population of many governor-generals began to multiply steadily, a lot of land has been rationally used, and almost all the Han population that does not exceed the scope have been properly resettled, living and working in peace and contentment, and creating wealth. The Chinese Empire of the Han Now it can be said that it has reached a deformed state of prosperity. Who wants to come to the West to suffer, but some people have begun to return to the Chinese Empire.

In comparison, the political situation of the Huaxia Empire is somewhat unstable.

Living and working in peace and contentment made civil servants and generals start to play with their brains, play for positions, and fight for power. The literati began to play with philosophy and look down on each other. In short, what officials of any dynasty after eating and drinking would want to enjoy power and wealth, so Even if it has reached the sixth generation, and the eldest son of the second great-grandson ascends the throne, there is no need to fight for the throne, but the civil servants and military generals below are fighting for power and profit, which makes people feel annoyed by the chaos in the court. This person is Zhang Siyuan. If this sign is found, then the decline is not far away.

According to the news, although the governors of various places, overseas territories, and governors' districts still flatter China on the surface, they are far above the emperor and start to operate their sites. In the past ten years of operation, they have not had that kind of overall concept , Zhang Qiang’s old people all naturally died of old age, and those who were promoted in the second generation are also old and retired. The third generation has already begun to show signs of fighting for power and profit. None of the four had experienced any wars, nor had they experienced the difficulties of founding a country, and the signs of an aristocratic group began to appear.

Ambitious people abound, and they can't be suppressed, making overseas territories unstable. The last victory in suppressing the rebellion was when the third son was in power. After that, his son was in power for a few years. Small uprisings continued to occur, and they happened in the governor's district. , and because the governor's district has been isolated for a long time and enjoyed many special policies, there are already faint signs of self-reliance in many places. The military generals of the court have gone to fight for power and profit. When stationed in one place, local forces appeared, so a few years ago, the Huaxia Empire finally broke out a big battle that caused the governor's district to be unstable. Already almost taking the military chiefs and civil officials who have been operating for more than ten or 20 years in the Governor's District, the nobles have no choice but to compromise and coax them.

The huge Huaxia Empire is showing faint signs of decline. This is what Zhang Siyuan is worried about. In recent years, the Huaxia Empire has not provided assistance to the new Qin Kingdom, nor has it communicated with it. After the canal was opened, no one came in the past few years. In the past few years, some people began to travel thousands of miles to communicate and often, but they were all merchants from below, some shrewd merchants from the coast to communicate with the New Qin State. The New Qin State also relied on their slow blood transfusion, coupled with Luo Zuo's resources support, perhaps this is the reason that shakes the fourth prince's determination.

While Zhang Siyuan was building the new Huaxia Kingdom and restoring the strength of the navy and army, Zhang Siyuan was constantly analyzing the situation of the Huaxia Empire through news from the New Qin Kingdom and Central Asian Han people. When I was worried, support from Xinding Yangzhou came.

The first thousand and 690 chapter two defected

Because the native land has a great reputation, they are only officials of an overseas territory, so they cannot resist the orders from above, and all kinds of fancy resistance can only delay their decline, unless they rebel, at this time they have already There are faint signs of rebellion, and the two aids to the traitor Zhang Siyuan have made them tantamount to rebellion.

It was only because of the abundance of staff that they were able to serve the emperor far away in the early days, and did not care about the dispatch of the local people. When the British army was overwhelming the border, the local people were full of rumors, and the local people were busy dealing with the British. Relying on their toughness, they helped the new Qin State survive the catastrophe. Now that they have compromised with the British, of course they have no scruples. They have issued several edicts to invite Luo Zuo and Lu Fang, the governors, to go back and report on their duties.

Debriefing means that when you have been an official in a certain place for a certain number of years, you need to go back and report what you have done in the past few years, and give an explanation to the above. After passing the review by the above, you can go back and continue to complete your job. official positions, but the new Qin State has not many talents and available manpower over the years, and has fought with the British and Westerners to the death. There is no time to sort out these things. Many systems are not perfect. Although it is gradually being perfected, the perfecting system is used by the capitulators to deal with those diehards who refuse to surrender.

As a result, Luo Zuo and Lu Fang's power is getting smaller and smaller. This time they can entangle so many ships and people is the last time they will help Zhang Siyuan and the others. After a year, Luo Zuo will hand over the post of Governor of Colombia and be transferred back to the Privy Council to serve as one of them. The position of deputy privy envoy is gone. Thinking about what happened to Zhuang Lin and Song Qing, it must be that there is a position but no power.

But he is in the army thanks to the care of veterans like Tianlei and others. Jin Lin can also take care of him, and he can still have some power. He is also under the jurisdiction of the army, so he still has a certain amount of weight, but Lu Fang is not good. , the most seriously infiltrated this time is the navy. The navy is the foundation of the new Qin State, and of course the higher authorities must take care of it.

This time is the last bit of naval resources that Lu Fang can mobilize. After Lu Fang finishes this time, he will be left alone.

"How many people are here this time?" Zhang Siyuan and Luo Zuo sat down and asked directly.

"General Zhang, this time I brought [-] elite Han troops from Colombia and their families. As for the other Han people, they have nothing to do with us. I'm afraid I will be transferred back to the mainland soon. It is impossible for me to look at my army. Those cronies and army soldiers were sold to the Spaniards or the British tormented them, so they could only use the fleet in Macaibo Bay and Lu Fang's remaining fleet to bring them all here.

At the same time, there are also 35 new Dingyangzhou main battleships that are newly launched. Let others ruin those old battleships. Alas, those battleships are just the main battleships that have just been launched three or four years ago. There are more than 100 warships and some auxiliary warships in total. They have just regained some strength. I didn't expect the country to be so turbulent. These things may be cheaper than the Spaniards and the British.Because I heard that the higher authorities have signed an agreement with the British and the Spaniards, handing over the canal to the Spaniards and the British, saying that they are guilty of the Spaniards and should not listen to villains and start a war with their allies. Zhuang Lin may He will bear the reputation of starting wars privately and wantonly making enemies, and he may be dismissed for investigation. It is said that the duties of his deputy naval envoy will be handed over to Xiao Nan. "

And Wu Nan has also been transferred back to the mainland to serve as his original naval privy envoy and concurrently the commander of the local fleet, while Mo Lin has been forced to retire, leaving only one privy envoy, which is the same as Lu Fang's naval privy envoy. Yes, but some people hold power, some people, some only give you a title, but no one has no power, it's just an idle job, it's up to who will take it.

In the above power struggle, a large number of people have to take idle positions, and some people in power have the same position, but they hold power. When the power is on your side, you are the one in power, and when the power is no longer, you are doing it. They are on the bench, but sometimes this kind of bench has to have a certain strength to sit on, and some people are directly taken down and ruined.

"It seems that the situation in the new Qin State is getting more and more complicated. I can only take care of this side now. What do you think? Why don't you come to me? I have already taken care of everything in Morocco. The Spaniards don't want to interfere anymore. You The army management is not bad, and the governor of Morocco will be yours in the future. I will let Wei Yuanchao manage the newly occupied land in Spain. I lack army talents. You are also an old man in the Han army. Don’t think about going back to retire. As for you My family is small, I, Jinlin, think of a way to get it to Xindingzhou first, and once I have a chance, I will send it here."

Luo Zuo bowed and bowed, "General Xie gave Luo Zuo a way, Luo Zuo dare not say goodbye."

"Haha," Zhang Siyuan stood up with a smile, "There's no need to do this. You are also an ancestor of our Han Dynasty. How can I afford it? It's settled. You will be the Moroccan army supervisor and manage Morocco for me. Hmm Let’s continue to talk about the materials and manpower brought this time. The last battle with the British, Spaniards, and Portuguese suffered heavy losses. It almost exhausted all the Han sailors here, as well as the population of the Han people. There were not many manpower left to operate the warships, so the Chinese army had to be driven to the ship. After several battles, they gained some experience, and after two months of special training, the navy's strength was restored. coming."

"In addition to 35 warships this time, there are more than 50 large-tonnage transport ships loaded with [-]% of the shipbuilding equipment and materials in Xinding Yangzhou, as well as equipment for steel factories, ironworks, and weapons and equipment. In addition, there are about [-] ships with materials, ore, and food that are only enough to maintain their reserves when they arrive here. We can't do anything about food, and the army sent by Zhao Shuai has already taken over.

In addition, there are [-] of my trusted army mercenary officers and soldiers, and Lu Fang’s [-] trusted naval officers, sailors, and gunners. This time we transferred all the cronies that could be transferred, and also deceived a fleet of frigates, about twenty ships, most of them were Han Chinese, and there were some mercenaries. The steam engines and boiler equipment on board, And some Han family members from the mainland. "

"You and Wei Yuanchao hand over the supplies first, and you get to know Yan Chao and Zhang Yuan first. After you bring so many people this time, the number of Han troops and civilians here will reach 456 million, and mercenaries and foreign civilians will It will reach 25 people. Our strength has greatly increased. In a few years, we will be a Han kingdom that will not lose to the new Qin State."

The first thousand and 690 chapters and three chapters of the recovery of the strength of the escort fleet

After dismissing Luo Zuo, Zhang Siyuan called Zhang Yuan, Lieutenant Colonel Baozi, and Yan Chao over. Several people made a calculation and distributed the aid that came this time.

More than 50 large transport ships can be converted into battleships no less than steam engine battleships. In this way, the destroyer squadron can go down and be organized into the coast guard, because they are seriously damaged, and they are only [-]% to [-]% of their combat effectiveness after repairing. The establishment of the coast guard has enriched the strength of the coast guard and greatly increased its combat effectiveness. Not only is it not inferior to the strength of a fleet of the Dutch and the French, but it also makes the enemy wary in terms of escort. What about the caravans of the Huaxia Kingdom?

More than 60 destroyers were allocated to the three coast guards, and then the steam engine battleships brought by Rozo were allocated. The coast guard team had more than 30 destroyers and steam engine battleships. The strength of the fleet increased greatly, and more than 50 ships The transport warships are organized into two transport fleets. In the future, when they cross the sea to fight, there will be no need for tugboats to support Spain.

At the same time, they also have a combat effectiveness second only to destroyers, and half of the transport ships and armed merchant ships really can't beat them.

35 main battleships were organized in the escort fleet, which expanded the strength of the escort fleet of the New China Kingdom to 52 ships, not only restored the previous strength, but also increased by nearly one-third of the battleships. The escort fleet can also be divided into two There are 26 warships on one side, the Mediterranean frigate squadron on the one hand, and the Atlantic squadron on the other.

In addition, five cruisers were brought this time, the original three cruisers plus five cruisers, so there was an extra cruiser squad in his hands, and an extra mobile unit that could sail long distances. Zhang Siyuan was already planning to deal with the new Qin State the Azores fleet.

Now the strength is not yet reached. If it can be defeated, then a fleet can be built there to cut off the connection between the British and North America. At least the connection between the British and North America will not be so smooth.

Why did the British deal with the New Qin State for 20 years? Because the New Qin State threatened Britain’s North American colonies, and the Azores Fleet of the New Qin State threatened the Strait of Gibraltar and African colonies, and at the same time cut off their connection with the South Atlantic Ocean. connection.

Now we have to wait two months for the 26 new main battleships to enter service. By then, they will have 56 new main battleships, 52 frigates, 50 to [-] destroyers, and nearly [-] transport ships. More than [-] of them can be transformed into a combination of a steam engine battleship and a transport ship. This kind of warship can not only transport supplies, but also transport resources, and can also join the ranks of the fleet to destroy the enemy.

With the arrival of Luo Zuo and others, the population increased, consumption increased, and the food consumption of the New China Kingdom intensified. Wei Yuanchao and the others began to organize manpower to use the land of the Spaniards for farming. The farming of the Han people has always been better than that of Westerners, Central Asians, and Europeans. It’s much worse. Africa and Spain are tropical. Don’t grow too many pieces of corn. The corn that comes down in one season, plus the wheat, rice and other crops purchased from other places, and the robbing of the Spanish and Portuguese’s food, expel so many The Spaniards and the local Moroccan tribal population consume the surplus foreign people in the country, so that the population of the New China Kingdom can basically eat enough food.

Zhang Yuan is negotiating with the Portuguese, buying some grain from the Portuguese, and also exchanging some British captives back through the Portuguese through this grain trade, killing two birds with one stone.
