Lord of Ming Dynasty

And just as their development was getting better and better, the fleet of the Chinese Empire arrived in Panama through the Pacific Ocean. Luo Zuo personally received the visiting Chinese Imperial Navy group, and then escorted them to the exclusive port of Wellington, the capital of the New Chinese Kingdom. port.

Although the warships of the Huaxia Empire are large, their combat effectiveness is embarrassing. The main gun is still a 75mm artillery, the secondary gun is a 37mm artillery, and the rifle they carry is a relatively good Huaxia Type 11 rifle. , there is almost no progress, although the Huaxia 11 rifle is now a rifle that some countries in the West are eager to obtain, many countries are still equipped with matchlock guns, and the advanced ones are flintlock guns. The Spaniards have a large number of flintlock guns that have not been dismantled , although they have been fighting the New China Kingdom for a long time.

But their equipment still cannot be improved. Even the British are only equipped with a large number of flintlock guns, which are still in the thinking of the last century. There are many reasons for this. The most important thing is that many British arms dealers are manufacturing flintlock Guns, they have just eliminated matchlock guns, some produce Huaxia 05 rifles, but they are not popular, some produce Huaxia 11 rifles, but they are only equipped with the Royal Guards, and there are some elite British regular troops, others The troops are better equipped with Huaxia-style 05 rifles, but they are not enough, only the guards have them.

The Americans are not picky, but they have no powerful equipment, only a small amount of Huaxia Type 21 rifles, which came from the New China Kingdom, and some Huaxia Type 11 rifles are only equipped with some guards with few elite troops. Huaxia Type 05 rifle, which was imitated by the French.

It has a long history. The French began to imitate it since the new Qin Dynasty. Some of the Spaniards equipped it and used it themselves. Later, they imitated the Huaxia Type 11 rifle, but the Huaxia Type 21 rifle was a bit difficult and could not be produced, so it was only through this The first time I bought some from the New Huaxia Kingdom and went back to imitate them. The Huaxia Empire can produce Huaxia Type 21 rifles, but because they are expensive, they are not equipped with much, and most of them are useless. The royal guards never come out to fight.

After the Huaxia Empire visited the New China Kingdom and the New Qin Kingdom this time, they purchased many products, resources, Western goods and materials from the New Qin Kingdom, but they still purchased weapons and equipment from the New China Kingdom, including purchasing super powerful warships, frigates, cruisers, Destroyers, the ones bought in bulk are destroyers.

Recommend the new book of the city god Lao Shi:

The first thousand 820 chapters help the Chinese Empire become stronger 1

What Zhang Siyuan can do now is to help the Chinese Empire develop its navy. They don't care what they do, but when the British in the West look at the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire will not be offended because of the large gap between the warships. The British in the Huaxia Kingdom could not find the north. Although they had tens of thousands of warships, it would not be good if they lost a lot. Zhang Siyuan himself was the second time traveler of the Huaxia Empire, Emperor Zhang Qiang. The risen Chinese Empire was once again beaten to the north.

Now the new Huaxia Kingdom and the Huaxia Empire are separated by thousands of miles, and there are thousands of rivers and mountains. Besides, the Huaxia Empire cannot be changed in a short while. Being able to gain the dominance of the Huaxia Empire and ascend to the throne, but the collapse of the system is the most important thing for the Huaxia Empire. The most difficult thing is to govern the people in one direction.

So he can only give the Huaxia Empire more warships and weapons and equipment. As for technology, that is not enough. Although some technologies have become more popular in the West, they still cannot be given to them. He wants to create a powerful Huaxia Empire. As enemies, let them go to the opposite side of the new Huaxia Kingdom. Now the Huaxia Empire is in power, and the royal family is already the eighth generation of descendants.

The royal family now rotates among the descendants of the eldest to the third, either the great-grandson of the eldest, the great-great-grandson of the third, or the great-great-grandson of the second. Several families are competing, but they are getting weaker and faster. He is no longer the emperor of the previous dynasty. He stays at home, and most of his activities are in the capital. He has become a mascot. It's gone.

The third line is also weak, now the most powerful are the royal family members of the second line, the family members other than the fifth server are more prominent, the boss only has a prominent line, and the third line shows signs of weak succession, if you can't After more than ten years of becoming emperor or crown prince, their lineage will disappear from the ranks of royal succession just like the fourth lineage.

However, the power of the royal family is already very weak due to the monopoly of the cabinet and deliberate deceit, and the army cannot control it. Only the loyal royal guards guard the imperial city.

In this way, the Huaxia Empire has actually entered the so-called Western era of the Great Council ahead of schedule. The system can be said to be quite advanced, but it is not good for the country, because their decision-making has made the Huaxia Empire develop slowly and has become ill. up.

But no matter how troublesome, Zhang Siyuan didn't want the Huaxia Empire to be bullied by the Westerners, so he gave them more weapons and equipment, so that they could always be pulled out to fight against some Western aggression in critical moments.

First of all, [-] destroyers were given to them. The old warships of the academy and major naval academies, whether they were destroyers or main battleships, were pulled out and sold to them. Anyway, if they bought all the goods of the Huaxia Empire, they would definitely not lose money. Because many things in the East are new and good to these countries in the Western world.

After buying it, in fact, according to the value, it would not be worth the price of two hundred destroyers and hundreds of old warships, as well as the Huaxia Type 11 rifles, Huaxia Type 05 rifles and some artillery and ammunition sold to them, but Zhang Siyuan was willing to be taken advantage of. But Zhang Siyuan's mind is to help, so he doesn't care too much, and can find it in Western countries through other means.

After a few months, the transaction was completed. The huge fleet of the Chinese Empire was escorted by more than 100 warships of the New Chinese Kingdom’s fleet and returned home through the British colonies in North America and the seas of the Americans. The British fleet could only track and monitor, and the Americans The warships bought from the French are even more shabby, and the tracking is only far away, and they dare not go forward, but this time the huge fleet still stings the American and British colonial fleets. They used to be very powerful, but now they It has become a second-rate country in the Western world.

The British, whose navy used to be the overlord of the sea, can barely be considered top-notch now. Because the French bought the warships of the New China Kingdom, and at the same time, with the support of the New China Kingdom, they sent technicians to help build the warships, sell parts and The components made the warships of the French no longer imitations. The real warships produced by themselves not only improved their combat effectiveness, but also reached [-] warships in number, twice that of the British and one-third more than the Dutch One battleship is half more than the combined battleships of the Spaniards and Portuguese, which makes the French proud.

The Huaxia Empire returned with a full harvest, and the New Huaxia Kingdom continued to develop in the west, throwing away another [-] warships, and their number of warships dropped to [-] warships.

Because hundreds of warships were taken away from the colleges and schools for practice, many warships were transferred to the colleges and schools for the study and research of naval students, so the fleet transferred another [-] warships of various types to the college. and inside the school.

The number of warships dropped to [-].

Throwing away those escorting destroyers and frigates, and then requisitioning some warships for the Coast Guard, the number of warships in the New China Kingdom dropped to [-] again.

This number is even smaller than the number of French warships, but the New China Kingdom does not want to produce more of these warships, but mainly produces cruisers and main battleships. After the cruisers have been modified and upgraded, they actually replaced the frigates. This is already a new combat mode of the New China Kingdom.

Therefore, despite the fact that the number of warships in the main fleet of the New China Kingdom has dropped to more than 100, no one dares to provoke the New China Kingdom easily. The Panama Canal, returning to the Pacific Ocean, and then, the fleet sent a thousand nautical miles to Hawaii and then returned.

Through this visit of the Chinese Imperial Fleet, the following caravan also returned with a full load and bought a lot of special products of the New China Kingdom, such as paper and hemp rope from the original New Qin Kingdom, as well as special products from various Caribbean islands, as well as special products from North America. , as well as all kinds of steel raw materials, handicrafts, and all kinds of novelty things. The western world is indeed very talented in terms of creativity. This is irrefutable. Many things are exquisitely made and have historical meaning.

The Huaxia Empire has made a lot of money this time, and it may be able to promote the relationship between the Huaxia Empire and the New Huaxia Kingdom. The New Huaxia Kingdom can replace the new Qin State in the Western world and be recognized by the Huaxia Empire.

Chapter 820 and Six of the Governor of Baozi’s Cuban State

The fleet of the Huaxia Empire was sent away. Most of the destroyers of the fleet of the New China Kingdom joined the coast guard. Most of the frigates and some destroyers were transferred to the opposite side of the caravan frigates to escort. The frigates, and the gradually increasing number of refitted cruisers, the destroyers in each place have become the standard equipment of the Coast Guard, and the frigates have become the standard equipment escorts of the caravans. They have to be transferred back when they are in the sea, and the cruisers are not often in the harbor. Most of them are on the outer routes to perform ocean patrol missions to protect various overseas territories.

In this way, the main warships in the important military ports of each port are frequent visitors and basically do not mobilize. The cruisers have long-term companions. At that time, I could call them back even if I said it, because many destroyers were moored in the near-shore ports. According to the statistics, the number of permanent fleet warships in each port has dropped from 56 to 36, of which [-] are the main battleships. , Cruisers are often accompanied by about twelve ships, frigates are often accompanied by about twelve ships, and destroyers are also permanently stationed in important military ports for patrol, about [-] ships.

When such a fleet goes out, the minimum establishment is 56 capital ships, 36 cruisers, 110 frigates, 200 destroyers, about 100 six ships. If it is not wartime, then so many warships go out. At this time, other remaining warships will be called back within three days, and more than [-] warships will be added to the battle, which can basically slow down the enemy's fleet attack speed, and then the main battleships stationed around will rush to join. There will be [-] to [-] battleships, about [-] main battleships, [-] cruisers, [-] frigates, and more than [-] destroyers will join the team.

The same is true in Cuba now, but they are equipped with more destroyers, because Cuba is located in the Caribbean Sea, the sea space is not large, there are many islands, and the coastline is too long, there are landing ports and docks everywhere, and more destroyers are needed to patrol To drive out pirates, Cuba has more destroyers, fewer frigates, and fewer cruisers. There are main battleships for decisive battles, destroyers for patrol and protection, and a small number of frigates and cruisers.

Ever since Cuba and Florida jointly managed the sea trade and opened the sea trade port, the trade here has been very prosperous. The French colonies, the Spaniards, and the Dutch have all come here to trade, and the trade caravan from Xindingyang has also come. For trade here, Americans can buy enough firearms, ammunition, food, and other clothing, shoes and hats from them.

Although America is rich in products, but their daily necessities are very scarce. They use their own handicrafts and a lot of ore and wood in America to buy daily necessities, and then transport these back to the territory of the Americans, which is greatly enriched. American living materials.

Under the guidance of Zhang Siyuan, tobacco leaves in Cuba began to follow the old path of later generations. Cigars became famous all over the world. The whole West thought cigars were very good, so they became an important export material.

There are other wood, green salt.

There are also a lot of minerals. In short, Cuba is developing well, and because of its good location in the Caribbean Sea, sea trade is very profitable.

Chapter 820, Cuba and Florida

"Let's go, let's go to another place." Zhang Siyuan and Baozi haven't seen each other for a long time. It's inevitable that the two of them will have more topics when they meet. After chatting, they finished the inspection process. The two are preparing to return with the team. Inside the city, at this time Zhang Siyuan suddenly wanted to visit the nearby villages and towns, so he said something to Baozi.

Walking to a seaport town, the sky is not yet dark, and the sun is still shining brightly. The whole town is breezy with the sea breeze, and there is a slight fishy smell blowing with the sea breeze. At the same time, the rustic atmosphere of the surrounding land is slowly floating. Busy, there are some small merchant ships on the pier, loading and unloading, and a few militiamen with Huaxia 05 rifles in their hands are guarding the nearby high places.

Although Cuba State has been far away from the war, in the Kingdom of New China, in the Western world, the aboriginals and naturalized people were relocated away, in exchange for a large number of Han Chinese and some foreign mercenary families living here, but there may be some Some unwilling natives who don’t know where to hide will suddenly run out of the hiding place in a small canoe, and attack you like a wild wolf suddenly running from the mountains, so it is still a habit to keep the militia early warning. kind of normal.

On the way they came, there were several waves of militia cavalry patrolling the mountains and fields, checking the past.

The New Huaxia Kingdom, the Huaxia Empire, and the New Qin Kingdom, like these Han countries, also implemented the household registration and identity system adopted by Zhang Qiang from later generations. If it is not a local Han, the family members of foreign mercenaries who have settled down will not be able to produce proof documents. So they will be arrested, and in case of a sudden attack, the militia will call the police, and the militia who are always on guard will pass the news from the place where the incident happened to the barracks of the port mercenary army.

The barracks cavalry will go out to find out what happened. The barracks mercenary cavalry brigade will immediately gather and enter a state of alert. Once the police are confirmed, the infantry unit will be activated immediately. The mobilization of ordinary mercenary troops and ordinary Han Chinese troops will rush in first. The town is under martial law, and then enters the pre-built fortifications and enters a defensive state. As the situation develops, news will be sent back continuously, and the alert level will be raised step by step. The troops dispatched to search for more information, and then the army units in various places entered a state of war, so that the cumbersome level-by-level alert raising procedures would be completed within two hours. After the war contact, the fleet and elite troops would be dispatched.

The security system of the entire Cuban state may not be able to cope with the attacks of those national fleets, but it is still very effective in dealing with pirates, British, French, Spanish or Dutch small fleets or single-ship sneak attacks, and it will not be wasted due to tension Troop strength will not allow the enemy to divert the tiger away from the mountain, because the number of troops dispatched at the same time is limited, and it is for regional defense, so the troop strength in each region will not be wasted by mobilizing too much, and the enemy will consume the New China Kingdom in this way.

In fact, the security systems in other parts of the New China Kingdom also do the same, but the fleet stationed there is powerful and has a large number of warships. Because only the colonial enemies are at war in Cuba, the number of fleets is not very large, and there are a large number of British and Spaniards. , the French fleet has long been wiped out by the New China Kingdom or threatened to retreat. The Spaniards were originally the most powerful presence in the Caribbean, but now they are not as strong as the Dutch. The French are also good, but they lost a lot of warships due to the blockade and defeat. , Now in order to let the New China Kingdom help them, they dare not start a war here again and put too many warships.

On the contrary, their merchant ships and warships in the Gulf of Mexico have to pass through the Straits of Cuba and the Straits of Florida if they want to go to sea for trade. If you don't pay taxes and don't allow inspections, you won't pass.
