Lord of Ming Dynasty

Of course, Zhang Siyuan also wanted to reduce some British prisoners, using Han Chinese and mercenary civilians as laborers, giving them some job opportunities, and making them earn money. Reducing prisoners can also save food.

Now the food in the New China Kingdom can only come in and out.A large number of captives need to consume food, the new population needs to consume food, the Han people gathered from all over the country also need to consume food, and only a few tribes also need to consume food. Since the New China Kingdom came to power, unlike the Spaniards and Morocco The aborigines exploited them like that, even gave them food and guns, and helped them train tribal fighters. Otherwise, how could they be coaxed to support the New China Kingdom and not make trouble?

Let them be grateful and unable to rebel. Even if some tribes are bought by the British and Spaniards in the future, in the future, if they want to eliminate them, they will have a name, and they will be eliminated and exterminated. It's not that they don't understand, thinking that the New China Kingdom wants to eliminate them, which will help Zhang Siyuan and the others gradually disintegrate and digest them.

It is not unreasonable for Chinese people to pay attention to righteousness. For Easterners who abide by these principles, it has a little effect, but for Westerners, it is reasonable to have a hard fist.

Now that the New China Kingdom is in power, the influence of these tribes is to let them be gradually wiped out, at least those tribes that want to get along with the British and Spaniards will be eradicated without affecting other tribes.

The land war with the Spaniards. With the reinforcement of this batch of mercenaries, the new five mercenary brigades were formed with these five mercenary regiments, supplemented by captives, mercenary civilians, tribal civilians, and some Han civilian recruits. , It was quickly formed, and then the mercenaries who had previously fought were pulled down and reorganized and placed behind the Moroccan border to guard the border. There were four mercenary brigades pulled back, exactly one on the coastline, on three sides of the country, and two on one side of Algeria , put one below, and put a Han brigade reorganized from the Spaniards in the hinterland, plus a Han brigade that was originally guarding the port, there are a total of six brigades, a total of 6000 troops.

There are more than 3 mercenaries and 1 Han Chinese brigades, and there are not many troops.

The Spaniards are suffering. The navy and the army are defeated. The New China Kingdom has advanced fifty miles and occupied another 25 kilometers of land. They are retreating steadily. The domestic forces are almost exhausted. They were almost exhausted, recruited 25 mercenaries, and lost nearly [-]. Not only did they not break through the defense line of the New China Kingdom occupying their land, but they lost another [-] kilometers, and nearly a dozen towns fell into the hands of the enemy. .

And their port over there was bombed in a mess, and it took a lot of money to repair it. Only some small docks and ports can moor warships and ships, but they don’t have any warships now. They lost all their warships and ships. In addition to their trade, the Spaniards had to go to France to trade by sea except for land trade.

The first thousand 690 chapter four trade with the French

In the third month, the New China Kingdom stabilized and returned to a strong army, and its population increased to 52. The land war with Spain has basically ceased. The last attack of this campaign, the New China Kingdom broke out , advanced more than 100 kilometers, and now they have attacked nearly [-] kilometers in total. On the border between Portugal and Spain, they hit Badajoz. In the middle, they reached and occupied Corvado, Grana They took the port of Almeria on the Mediterranean Sea, and near the mouth of the Strait of Gibraltar on the Mediterranean Sea they took the port of Malaga.

The New China Kingdom took [-] square kilometers of land from the Spaniards, drew a slash on the map, and occupied about one-sixteenth of Spain's land.

A large number of Spanish people who fled brought almost devastating disasters to Spain. Millions of Spanish people, nobles, soldiers, and homeless people were expelled to flee to the interior of Spain. The various problems brought by them made the Spaniards overwhelmed. For the first time, Spain felt desperate, and the arrogance of Westerners who used to be aloof was no longer there.

While retreating the people and the army, the Spaniards sent people to negotiate urgently with the New China Kingdom.

But Zhang Siyuan didn't want to pay attention to them, let them pay to redeem their soldiers and officers, and make a lot of money again. He didn't want to support these Spaniards, whether they were civilians or combat prisoners, they would be released after all the money was paid to drive them away. to the side of the Spaniards.

Luo Zuo has entered the state and fully manages the administration and army on the Moroccan side. The population of the pure New China Kingdom is only more than 50. After transferring 1 mercenaries, 30 foreign immigrants, 30 Han troops, and the new After the more than [-] Han Chinese who came here immigrated to the mainland of Spain, the population of the pure New China Kingdom here is still more than [-] people. There are many Sudanese tribes, as well as some Moroccan natives, who are black and white people left by Westerners and local tribal women.

In addition, a group of Central Asians and Han people came from Turkey, with a population of about 3. The New China Kingdom took them in, put them in Morocco to strengthen management, and let them generate taxes for this side.

After the war with the British ended, merchants from the surrounding Western countries came to do business, because they seized a lot of Spanish and British supplies, some of which were in short supply, and some of which were of little use, but countries without war needed them, so the merchants Start to act and trade with the merchants of the New China Kingdom and the New China Kingdom.

Especially the Qing Dynasty and the Russian Kingdom, their merchants came here from the Mediterranean Sea, and there was almost no resistance, because they were the first countries to conclude a war agreement with the Han Kingdom, and everyone was familiar with it after fighting for so long, and where did they come from? They brought in a lot of Han Chinese and their descendants who had stayed there for many years, and the tripartite exchanges were close. Because the New China Kingdom closed the Strait of Gibraltar, they could not trade with Spain, Portugal, and the British, nor could they trade with the new Qin State. When trading with the New China Kingdom, the goods must be transshipped here, and then transported to Colombia or Xinding Yangzhou for transit, before they can go to France, the New Qin Kingdom, and the United Kingdom. Therefore, the maritime trade of the New China Kingdom will not stop as long as the war stops. There are also profits.

The Kingdom of New China has no special products of its own. What is there in Africa, gold and diamonds, and various minerals that will be useful in later generations, and now only copper and iron are still useful, and other slightly biased ores are useless at all, but there are many in Africa. Most of them are animals, which are in groups. Compared with Siberian fur, the quality is definitely not as good, but the quantity is much more.

Now we don’t talk about environmental protection. With the current technology, hunting for decades may not necessarily exterminate any animals. Therefore, the population of Moroccan indigenous tribes is to hunt these animals for the New China Kingdom and get some furs. Therefore, the New China Kingdom Their specialty is fur. These furs are mainly sold to later generations of Italy and France, later generations of Germany, and now Prussia. The action also passed the Portuguese transfer of these furs to Portugal and other places for sale. What fainted was wine and grain to supply the country’s grain. Morocco’s grain cultivation is quite hopeless. Although it is Africa, the grain production is not much. It can only keep 50 people from starving to death.

After owning 280 square kilometers of land in Spain, Han Chinese and foreign people were used to cultivate the land to grow food. By the end of the year, the production would basically be enough for 80 people to consume. This could reduce the purchase of some food and instead buy other materials, such as coal. There is not much coal in Africa, and their coal has to be transported from Turkey and Russia, or else transported from Central Asia via Turkey.

In short, France is the most important trading country now, and only France can stand on the same front in the Han Dynasty in the West, because France has huge interests in North America, huge colonies, and the conflict with the British is no more than that of the Netherlands. Unlike the Caribbean colonies of the British, the relationship between France and the New Qin Kingdom and the New China Kingdom is not very close, but they still cooperate tacitly in terms of business exchanges.

After so many years of development, the development of science and technology in France has never seen progress. This is a country that emphasizes art, this is a romantic country, and this is a country with D'Artagnan. Although they have also entered the age of steam engines, But it is not as realistic as the British. They hold on to the dignity of their own big empire, and they are also dirty with the British. They have fought wars for decades. This is almost 174 years ago. Their great Napoleon is about to grow up. Only then will France become stronger, and France is still recovering now.

France is weak, this is the thing that several companies would like to see the most, don’t look at the present France is like the future Britain, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and more noble, the United Kingdom is still an upstart, there is no background, France is literature and art The capital is the big brother of the whole of Europe. The British keep challenging them. At that time, Napoleon will challenge the whole of Europe. He wants to revitalize France, but he doesn't want to fail in the end.

Later, France was gradually replaced by the British, and the British became the big brother. Later, the United States also challenged the United Kingdom and became the big brother. In the future, the United Kingdom and France followed the lead of the United States, but now France is weaker than the British, but it is still better than the British. The confidence and strength are much higher, and the British have to call him big brother, but the second child is not convinced by the boss, and often tries to do bad things, and finally seizes the property and status of the big brother.

Now the trade between the New China Kingdom and the French is increasing day by day. They have obtained a lot of supplies through the Mediterranean Sea and where they went to Italy. This is also the capital they can continue to compete with the Spanish and the British.

The first thousand 690 chapters five land and population

"What happened to Lu Fang?" Zhang Siyuan asked as soon as he came in.

Luo Zuo grimaced, "They took Lu Fang away and appointed He Hao as governor of Xindingyang Prefecture, Fang Ying as admiral of the army, Bai Yong as admiral of the navy, Zhao Bao as the supervisor of civil affairs, lost Columbia, and returned to him. We had [-] mercenaries who rebelled against the Spaniards. They directly destroyed my foundation in Colombia, and then sold the canal to the British and the Spaniards for joint management, leaving only the annual dividends from the British and the Spaniards. power.

Traitory, this is open treason, it was bought by us with blood and sweat, how many people's flesh and blood took it, and then how much painstaking effort was used to get it, there are still 230 million Han Chinese, except for the 20 people we assisted here twice. In addition to the 230 Han people, Xindingzhou took back [-] Han people, and the mainland took back [-] Han people, and now there are [-] million Han people, but they have divided the Han people into the same level as the British and Spaniards, and reused the Spaniards and the United States. Han Chinese became their slaves. "

With a gloomy face, Zhang Siyuan gritted his teeth and said, "In other words, these people betrayed the country completely, and gave the new Dingyang Prefecture to the Spaniards and the British, and at the same time gave the 230 million Han people of our new Qin Kingdom as a bonus. Spanish?"

"But we can't make enemies anymore. Now we are fighting with the Spaniards, and we are still at war with the British. If we go to war with the new Qin, we may not have the potential and heritage of their three countries, so now we can only watch Let them suffer." Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said.

Luo Zuo also nodded. It's not that they don't want to save them. It's just that the population of the New Qin Kingdom is 500 million, and our population is only 50. Adding the captives, people and businessmen who keep coming, we only have a population of 100 million, and we are still consuming these. The foreign population, that is to say, our Han population is only over 40, while the Han population in the new Qin State is 340 million.

After more than 100 years of giving birth in the new Qin State, the population of Han Chinese has increased by about [-] million. In comparison, mercenaries rebelled, mercenaries took power, and mercenaries rushed to the front, so they suffered heavy casualties, and most of the foreign people were here. Where in Panama, Xindingyang Prefecture, the conflicts with the Spaniards, the Mexicans, and the British in North America have caused heavy losses to these foreigners who stayed on the periphery.

And with the cession of Colombia to Spain, where millions of captives, foreign civilians and mercenaries were separated from the population of the New Qin State, the population of Han Chinese exceeded the foreign population for the first time in the New Qin State. Counting the indigenous population of Mexico, some North American immigrants, and the indigenous and tribal population of Panama, their share of the population in the new Qin State is getting smaller and smaller, and they are only 260 million foreigners.

In short, in terms of population and war industry potential, the New China Kingdom is still very weak.

Several people discussed for a long time, and finally decided not to interfere with the affairs of the new Qin State. They have gained a lot of benefits from Spain now, not a lot.

Zhang Siyuan said to Luo Zuo: "Can you get some of these Han Chinese? Some of them don't want to stay. Help them escape to us. Let our population increase."

Luo Zuo said with some embarrassment: "The key is that our food production is not enough, and increasing the population is a burden for us."

Zhang Siyuan nodded and said: "That also has to increase. Our Han population must be at least 100 million, that is, we must obtain at least 60 Han population from Xindingyang Prefecture. It will increase to about 30 million people, plus our captives will reach almost 130 million people, as for food, we can buy it from France.”

Traitory, this is open treason, it was bought by us with blood and sweat, how many people's flesh and blood took it, and then how much painstaking effort was used to get it, there are still 230 million Han Chinese, except for the 20 people we assisted here twice.

The first thousand and 690 six chapters attack the Caribbean

One and a half months passed quickly. With the launch of 26 new warships, the navy of the New China Kingdom, which has 56 main warships, is so powerful that it is eye-catching. The Spaniards can't move. The two sides are separated by five kilometers. Build defenses, trenches, various barbed wire fences, build watchtowers and forts, and stockpile supplies.

This battle has a tendency to look like a war thing.

Although the Portuguese succumbed, they still did not remove their hostility towards the Kingdom of New China. They built fortifications along the border between Spain and Portugal. , Other places have built fortifications, stationed the army, Portugal and Spain, the Kingdom of New China, both sides of the war and a bystander have mobilized a large number of troops for trench warfare and sit-in confrontation.

The New China Kingdom had to fight like Germany, which was excluded, blocked, and forced before the First World War. With the strengthening of the fortifications, both sides would need to pay huge casualties to conquer the other's fortifications, so the two sides stopped war.

This is not a normal situation to determine the demarcation line between the two countries, as well as the demarcation line with the Kingdom of Portugal, the original border line between Portugal and Spain.

The British still haven't sent a fleet. They are on the coasts of Africa and Spain, and they don't even have warships patrolling near the Azores. The patrol warships and destroyer squadron of the New China Kingdom, a total of 86 destroyers, are divided into four teams, patrolling the long coastline day and night.
