Lord of Ming Dynasty

Jin Qishun had no choice but to go to the mainland of the new Qin State himself. To put it bluntly, he wanted to return fifteen warships and troops of the new main force that had been run-in, and then there were no more. However, the British did not attack. Jin Qishun was also worried. He relaxed his vigilance, just muddled through, and focused his energy on caring about the future development of the New Qin State, mainly concerned about the changes in the high-level and wind direction of the New Qin State.

He was very concerned about this, and when Xiao Nan took over his burden, he began to vigorously clean the morale and officers and soldiers of the naval personnel in Xindingzhou who had been boosted by him, so that the navy there was also abandoned, because Xiao Nan was Halfway through becoming a monk, he still mainly works in the army, so Xiao Nan is more likely to snatch Jinlin's power. Sitting on Diaoyutai, controlling the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, the Chief Envoy of the Privy Council of the Army, and the Commander of the Army, no matter how the other party moves him here, he will not be able to shake the army under his control. , Sued the local Privy Council and the cabinet twice in three days.

What Jin Qishun cares about is these things. At the same time, he is also stepping up to clean up the inactive officers left behind by Xiao Nan, and snatching the naval power here. At the same time, he is also learning from Xiao Nan to snatch the army power here. Unable to control the troops, the capitulators have even more reason to replace him or exile him.

His position was lifted up by all the Death Fighters, especially the army, so Jin Qishun wanted to seize power in the shortest possible time, rectify the navy, fight for a piece of territory for the Death Fighters and firmly hold some power , Master some naval personnel, otherwise the death-fighting faction will become weaker and weaker, and the capitulation faction will eventually wipe them out, and the new Qin State will be completely reduced to a semi-colonial situation of the British.

Some things are so unreasonable but many people do them and try hard to do them. For example, Ukraine and South Africa in later generations handed over the most powerful weapons in their hands to their enemies, compromised, and the enemies illegally possessed the most powerful weapons. For example, Israel, these weapons are only allowed to be owned by the five major countries according to the rules, and other countries cannot have them. It is illegal and against the rules, but Israel can reasonably own them, but South Africa and Ukraine cannot. This is the world of robbers, the robbers A world where logic and force are both justice.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Empire, who were taught by Zhang Qiang, a future traveler for a century, were told this truth again and again, so the death fighters were all facing the Han people and the people of the Huaxia Empire, while the surrendering faction was muddled in their minds, and lived back to the past The Han people in the feudal dynasty society think, I have the force, I will be killed, will I be disliked by the lords?Be good.Anyway, I can oppress other people.

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

In three days, Jin Qishun tried his best to integrate the fleet. He put the main force of the fleet in Hero Harbor, with 110 main battleships and [-] auxiliary warships. On other islands, only some backward ships of the coast guard and some old ships were placed. The old decommissioned warships, each big island is about [-] or [-] battleships capable of fighting, plus some armed merchant ships, the purpose is to drag the enemy or consume the enemy's auxiliary warships or strike the enemy's landing force to the maximum.

The transport warships and armed merchant ships were sent by Jin Qishun to sail to the New China Kingdom. Although Jin Qishun had never contacted the New China Kingdom, he knew that these transport ships and warships could not be left here and captured by the British. All the Han immigrants on the island and some loyal mercenary civilians and some mercenary veterans, wounded, and retired veterans who want to leave are gone. This is his last contribution to the New Huaxia Kingdom. Efforts, as for the New Qin Kingdom He was so disappointed.

The wait is always long. During this period, the mercenaries rebelled once, causing damage to seven main warships, one was driven away, and five auxiliary warships were damaged. In the end, they had to be thrown to the repair shop for dismantling. In order to suppress this The first time when mercenaries close to the British rebelled, Jin Qishun didn't sleep a wink for three days, and dispatched Han army troops and mercenaries loyal to him to fight against the rebels for three days, killing a total of [-] rebels and nearly [-] foreign civilians , Fifty Han people.

Some Han people and soldiers of the capitulation faction did not evacuate. They were also the initiators of this rebellion, but in the end they fell out with the mercenary rebels. Before Jin Qishun arrested them, they were killed by the rebels. Nearly [-] Han soldiers were killed, rebellious Han soldiers.

After the battle, the Hero Port of Azov Islands, which used to be a bustling transshipment station in the Atlantic Ocean, was like ruins, dilapidated, blood stained the walls, and flies circling around the houses and walls. Jin Qishun seemed to be decades old. His hair turned white overnight.

The new Qin State fell apart, and the new Qin State that took 40 years to build was sold off by his own people. He didn't know if it was right to stick to it like this

On the seventh day, the auxiliary warships patrolling the periphery reported the intelligence of the British attack by wireless telegram. Jin Qishun could only let go of his sadness and cheer up to meet the enemy's arrival.

The battleship left the harbor in the middle of the night. He didn't want to fight the British in the harbor. The new Qin State is not as united as before. The disappointed mercenaries of the New Qin State, they are very restless, even the mercenaries loyal to the New Qin State are unreliable, they can only go to sea to fight the enemy, otherwise they will be like those who have been repeatedly attacked by the New Qin State and the New Huaxia Kingdom The Spanish port is the same. In the end, because the fleet was blocked in the port, it could only be killed by the enemy in a narrow place. As long as the sea can still run, it can always escape.

One hundred and seven main battleships and 85 auxiliary battleships spread across the sea for ten miles, five or six nautical miles. Looking from a distance, under the rising sun, they are very huge.

This is the first time that Jin Qishun has commanded such a large-scale naval battle, and the first time that he has commanded so many warships to fight the enemy. Five nautical miles away, the British have 120 auxiliary warships and [-] main battleships. The size of the land and the balance of troops seem very asymmetrical, and the British obviously want to do it once and for all.

"Each team attacks and entangles the enemy. The main battleship fleet takes the brigade as a unit, and twenty ships form a battle line, and attacks." With such a disparity in strength, they can only bite the bullet and fight without any tactics.

After Jin Qishun gave the order, the two sides moved on the sea for an hour to engage in battle.

Without any temptation, the British auxiliary warships spread out and almost surrounded them, engulfing them in the middle of the sea. From 37mm rapid-fire guns to [-]mm heavy guns, the two sides fought fiercely.

The battle was obviously going to the British side, and the mercenaries occupied most of the auxiliary fleet. The morale was obviously low. After only two hours of fighting, three warships were sunk, five warships were severely damaged, and three wounded fled the battlefield and returned to the heroes. Hong Kong took away more than a dozen auxiliary warships from the British in pursuit, but only one of the enemy's main battleships was sunk here, and two of the enemy's auxiliary warships were severely damaged. The battle was almost one-sided. Now the situation is reversed, there is actually a warship fleeing voluntarily in disregard of the flagship's order.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, Jin Qishun could only sigh and leave them alone, and find a chance to settle the score when he returned alive.

At noon, the battle had been going on for five hours. They had sunk ten of the enemy's main warships, severely damaged thirty of the enemy's auxiliary warships, sunk fifteen of the enemy's auxiliary warships, and escaped by themselves. Nineteen main battleships were sunk, 43 auxiliary battleships were severely damaged, eleven auxiliary battleships surrendered to the enemy, six main battleships, and the rest were still fighting. The British lost a total of [-]/[-] of their troops. The side is four tenths, which is closer to half.

In order not to cause the entire fleet to disperse and become a rout, Jin Qishun gritted his teeth and held on. The twenty main battleships he led had already lost six main battleships, and he could not take care of the other brigades. In the battle, the fleet has lost its command, and he can only command three brigades, less than 35 and six main battleships.

The battlefield spread to a radius of fifty nautical miles, within a hundred kilometers.

The British have allocated thirty auxiliary battleships, ten main battleships, and about fifty or sixty transport warships to attack Hero Port. Roaring, the whole battle was fought fiercely.

Looking at the sky, they had to hold out for at least four hours before it got dark. Jin Qishun was about to retreat to Hero Port to defend. He found that whether it was defense in the port or a decisive battle at sea, the defeat of the Azov Islands was doomed.

The British continued to attack, and the warships here suffered a lot. The British continued to allocate [-] auxiliary warships and ten main warships to attack Hero Port, and the auxiliary warships chasing the fleeing enemy were even more scattered. The Chinese auxiliary warships sailed towards Ribery Island, some towards Port of Heroes, some towards the mainland of New Qin, some towards the coast of Spain, some towards the coast of Africa, and some towards the coast of Portugal. The ten auxiliary battleships and the lost dozen or so main battleships that were not sunk took away about one hundred and twenty auxiliary battleships of the enemy. The enemy's warships on the sea were all empty and became sparse.

But the enemy still has 28 main warships and [-] auxiliary warships. Compared with the [-] main battleships and [-] auxiliary warships here, the enemy's force is still more than double that of this side.

Jin Qishun looked at the hero port, the enemy did not land at the port, but landed from all sides.

The resistance on the island is very fierce. Although many people are overwhelmed, in the face of life, no one will give up easily.

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

This is the first time that the new Qin Kingdom fled and was defeated in the battle. Jin Qishun fled in the night with 28 main warships and five auxiliary warships. In the past four hours of battle, he lost the Azov Islands. He lost the fleet of nearly [-] warships of the New Qin Kingdom.

According to his estimation, the loss of the British is not small. At least 180 main battleships were lost, whether they were seriously injured or sunk, and at least 200 auxiliary warships were lost, whether they were seriously injured or sunk. It took at least more than [-] warships to capture Port-au-Prince, the capital island of the Azores. Maybe they will lose more auxiliary warships in the next two days, because there are still two island groups.

The Azores are composed of three large island groups. After a day of fierce fighting, the British only took the largest island in the largest island group of the Azores in Port-au-Prince, but the other small islands don’t matter, because There are not many warships, and perhaps the defenders on land will cause major damage to the British army, but this is not Jin Qishun's business.

When he left Port-au-Prince, the land resistance on the island had almost stopped, and the British had already occupied it. Now he was going to the Grande Ribery Island. He knew that the British would not have no arrangements there. He has given up hope for the island group composed of two islands. The British can take it as long as they allocate a dozen auxiliary warships. There are not many places that can be defended, and there are few warships left there. They are all decommissioned old ironclad warships equipped with three 3mm guns. They may have been an insurmountable obstacle for the British in the past, but now such warships, even in the face of many improvements by the British generation Type old battleships can only be sunk, and cannot run.

At that time, the speed of warships was only a few knots. Even though they were much more advanced than the British warships at that time, they could run at a maximum speed of 23 knots, but they usually sailed at a speed of [-] knots. The speed of [-] or [-] knots is used when escaping. How many years have passed now, and the youngest ship is probably [-] or [-] years old. Now the maximum speed of [-] knots is already considered good, even if Even after changing the power, steam engine and boiler, they can only run at a speed of [-] knots. They are useless to the warships that generally fight at a speed of [-] or [-] knots, and the fastest speed is [-] knots.

Of course, the shells fired by the 128mm artillery can still break through the British defenses. This is not outdated, but it can't be the scenery of a battleship.

"Colonel, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the Grand Ribery Island." His first officer handed him the binoculars. Jin Qishun picked it up and looked at that side. The flames were soaring into the sky. There were more than 30 enemy warships firing, and more could be seen vaguely. The warships on the island are landing on the island. The flames on the island are also soaring into the sky, and the sound of guns is constant, but they are all concentrated in a few small areas. It's useless, and the loss of Grand Ribery Island is no longer a fact.

"Let's go, go to the New China Kingdom, I think we may be taken in." Jin Qishun put down the binoculars and sighed.

More than 30 of their warships turned to leave, and took in seven fleeing and seriously injured warships along the way, but they were all sunk on their own initiative, and only the personnel were transferred. Later, they took in another steam engine warship, which was captured by the British. Because they escaped early, they didn't suffer any injuries, but their warships took in many people who escaped from Ribery Island, including sailors, gunners, Han people, and mercenaries, etc. There are more than 1000 people.

After walking for a few more hours, they collected several merchant ships and two warships that had escaped from the Grand Ribery Island. At dawn, they fought with the four main British pursuit battleships, and after sinking them, gathered two warships. The main battleship and two auxiliary warships were all wounded in bad condition. The fleet size expanded to forty ships. In the next few days, they gathered two transport ships and five auxiliary warships one after another. After that, they never saw these ships again. Instead, they captured two enemy auxiliary warships, sank several enemy steam engine warships patrolling and guarding here, and several passing British and Spanish merchant ships.

After five days and five nights of sailing, they arrived at the New China Kingdom. After negotiating for a day, Zhang Yuan arrived with more than 20 main warships of the New China Kingdom, and then introduced them to the port of Tangier.

After Jin Qishun contacted Zhang Siyuan by telegram, he successfully joined the New China Kingdom. He brought nearly [-] sailors, gunners, civilians, marine regiments, mercenaries, civilians, and mercenaries.

The mercenaries were dismantled and joined the mercenary brigade to defend the mainland. Due to the shortage of mercenary brigades transferred to fight in Spain, the Han people were introduced to the southern border of the Moroccan interior for resettlement. Because the Han people in the New China Kingdom were originally Few, not many Han people were resettled. They brought more than 2000 people this time, just to fill the vacancy somewhere. The Han soldiers also disbanded and joined the local Han brigade to replenish their strength.

The Marine Regiment was expanded, adding some Sudanese tribal fighters and some newly fled Han Chinese, as well as officers who graduated from the Naval Academy and soldiers drawn from the Coast Guard to expand into a marine brigade, which was sent to the port of Huceima to garrison Where is the fleet, where the original marine brigade soldiers and sailors are transferred to join the squadron organized by the newly launched warship.

Zhang Yuan knew about the Spaniards sending troops to Ribery Island a long time ago. He was preparing to defend against the raids of the Spanish fleet and the British fleet. Now that Jin Qishun knew the situation, he personally sat here and mobilized the main force of the fleet Defend against yet another raid by the British and Spaniards.

Many of the warships brought by Jin Qishun were wounded and were soon sent to the repair shop in Ceuta for repairs. Besides the main battleships, these warships will be included in the coast guard's battle order to defend the port and the coast. The small town of the New China Kingdom.

The main battleship dispatched [-] warships in good condition and repaired them at the port of Tangier. Afterwards, he was equipped with a fleet of [-] destroyers and three new main battleships, which were organized into a frigate brigade to fight with the main fleet. Of course, their first mission was to defend the port of Morocco along the African coast, stationed in the port of Aishgar, and Jin Qishun was appointed as the fleet commander there.

Where there is the fifth coast guard, he also serves as the commander of the coast guard.

Jin Qishun is not picky either, who told him that he is the general of the defeated army, and he is also a general who surrendered, the general of the New Qin State who surrendered to the New China Kingdom. Moreover, his manpower and military strength were dismantled as soon as he arrived, and incorporated into the army and navy of the New China Kingdom, leaving him with ten main fleets of the New Qin Kingdom that were taken over by the New China Kingdom Navy and Marine Corps generals. There are nine main battleships. After seeing the new main battleships of the New China Kingdom, he knew that the main battleships of the New Qin Kingdom were outdated, at least half a generation behind.

He is now the commander of his frigate squadron.

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

After defeating Jin Qishun's fleet and capturing all the islands of the Azov Islands in half a month, the British picked up their own losses. They lost 230 warships, 8000% of the main battleships, and 8000% of the auxiliary warships. The 5000 army troops who went there lost 5 people, and wiped out 300 people from the Azov Islands Marine Brigade and Army of the New Qin State, and captured 47 of them, as well as more than [-] civilians. Less, at least equivalent to [-] million pounds worth of supplies, and [-] warships were seized, of which only [-] were good, and the most valuable was actually the wireless telegraph of the new Qin State.

Originally they wanted to obtain technology by deterring the new Qin State, but because of the resistance of the Death Warriors, the British only obtained the third-generation machine, the third-generation wireless telegraph machine as big as a cabinet, and then went back to research, but research on this thing can be said to be research. It came out, and then squeezed a few technicians to understand the principle, but it couldn't be produced.

After breaking the Azov Islands, the British not only seized the fourth generation of wireless telegraphs, but also captured many telegraph personnel, and many mercenaries and Han people took refuge here. Therefore, the British have a bumper harvest, and they got here at the same time. In the past, it was the best trade transfer station in the New Qin State, and it was a tax-heavy place. It earned 4000 million Spanish gold coins and more than 3000 million British pounds a year.

It is also a resource transfer and trading station. Even if it is blocked by the UK for a few years, it can bring 300 million pounds of income to the new Qin State every year and there are many supplies that are in short supply. The converted value, this value was discovered by the New Qin State. After the British took over, they can also make up for the British maritime trade business that has shrunk due to the battle with the New Qin State. At the same time, it can also allow the British to transport goods from the colonies. The returned raw materials are more and safer.

The loss of more than 300 warships can be afforded by the British. These years, nearly 40 years of entanglement with the new Qin State, the development of the British has been slow for at least half a century. According to the previous historical development track, the British should now It is to dominate Europe and the West. Now they have not only lost the raw material market in East Asia, but also lost many colonies that originally belonged to them. Now it has not got rid of the shadow of the French. In the past, France was the center of Europe and the country that people in Europe and the Middle East yearned for.

Now Britain has not reached that point, has not yet become an empire on which the sun never sets, India is still divided by the French and the Spaniards, and has not completely turned an eastern India into an empire on which the sun never sets. of a gem.

The current loss of the British warships is reasonable in their estimation, because before the New Qin State was able to fight twice as much as their fleet, this time they defeated the New Qin State's Azov with a cup and a half of troops. The Archipelago Fleet and the occupation of the Azov Islands, the British felt that they had taken advantage of it. It seems that the East and the West are the same in any country. It feels natural to kneel for a long time, and it is very arrogant when it is not kneeling.
