Lord of Ming Dynasty

The more than 30 battleships that the Spaniards rushed forward almost retreated back with scars, and then retreated to the rear to cover the wounded warships staggering away from the battlefield, while the French main fleet rushed, and the cruisers rushed in the wài wéi battle line, surrounded The Spaniards were caught off guard and panicked. These more than 200 warships surrendered with as many as 150 warships after two and a half hours, and more than 47 warships were severely damaged. Two warships left the battle with scars and returned to the Azores.

The French also lost 38 destroyers, 27 frigates, 50 main battleships, and [-] cruisers. A total of [-] ships were sunk, and the remaining [-] ships were seriously injured or slightly injured. Ten enemy warships, the French suddenly found themselves in distress.

He was brave, but turned himself into a big fat man with almost zero mobility. The battle was full of injuries. In addition to the previous injuries, the French suddenly realized that they were too miserable. There were a total of 13 people left. There are [-] or [-] warships injured or ill. [-]

Chapter 1862 The decisive battle

Although they won the victory, the French put on cumbersome shackles and gave up the 170 captured warships and their own wounded warships, as well as tens of thousands of wounded wounded on both sides. The French asked themselves that they could not do it, even if the observer team Human beings are responsible for the humanitarian rescue of these wounded, and they may also be attacked by their opponents, because the many observation groups on the side of the New China Kingdom and the other side are just observation countries in the two camps, not observation warships of completely neutral countries. may be attacked by an opponent.

But there is no way, the reinforcement warships of the Anglo-Dutch coalition forces coming from the Azores are coming from the flanks, and the British and Dutch warships returning from the front are coming from the front. It is impossible for the French to turn around and escape. I can't run fast, because the injured battleship only has a speed of three to four knots, and it is impossible to move too fast, otherwise it will sink.

Song Qing and He Qingyun also looked very worried, but this is not their fleet, so they didn't say anything, they just commented on what would happen if the New China Kingdom met, and the New China Kingdom would also encounter large-scale naval battles in the future. It's okay to say at the door of my house, but it's hard to say on the ocean. The only way is to scuttle those warships that have suffered too many casualties, and then leave with the warships that can leave quickly.

The French also took this approach. The French worried for half an hour, discussed for half an hour, and finally made a decision to quickly transfer personnel, ammunition, and supplies, and then scuttled 45 wounded warships. The officers and soldiers were all transferred to some slightly wounded warships, and the slightly wounded warships were incorporated into the battle order and covered the periphery. The total number of warships rose from more than 200 to more than 300, which was not as good as the number of warships before the previous battle, but it was also higher than before. Improved a lot after the battle.

The speed of the entire fleet increased to eleven knots.

But they were delayed for 45 minutes, leaving the flanking enemy fleet only 45 nautical miles away from them, and the returning Anglo-Dutch fleet was only [-] nautical miles away from them.

The French diverted to another route at high speed and fled towards France.

Fifteen hours later, they escaped for 120 nautical miles, but the British warships had caught up, but only seven or eight nautical miles away, and the flanking enemy reinforcement warships from the Azores were only [-] nautical miles away from them.

And here is nine hundred nautical miles from France.

The French fleet is still more than 300 nautical miles away from them.

Despite the telegram, the French still ignored the fact that the development of the battle is sometimes independent of human will. They felt that they could not escape the interception of the British, so they sent light destroyers to intercept the enemy's destroyers while fleeing. , After another 15 minutes, they opened a distance of [-] nautical miles from the British interception fleet, but the British would not give them too much time. The warships dispersed, and the Dutch accelerated to overtake. An hour later, the Dutch When the French flanked and cut into the battle formation, France could not use the main battleship to cover the injured battleship fleet to turn again, and then left a dozen slightly injured frigates to intercept the Dutch fleet and continue to escape.

Two hours later, they escaped for more than 30 nautical miles. Of course, the main battleships of the British could not be entangled. They continued to pursue them, and the Dutch also pursued them. About 50 warships were left behind, and then other warships that were fully staffed continued to pursue, and finally caught up with the entire French fleet in the fourth hour when the French fled a total of 67 nautical miles.

The French had no choice but to let the injured fleet of about 130 warships continue to turn away. They turned around and formed a formation to fight. More than 200 warships faced the British more than 200 warships. The Dutch had sixty or seventy warships, and both sides had more than 200 ships Battleships, but in terms of military strength and current comprehensive combat effectiveness, everyone knows that the French may not be able to defeat the British, because the Azores reinforcement fleet is still 45 nautical miles away, which means it will arrive at the battlefield in about two and a half hours.

Observers from Russia, Ottoman Turkey, Austria-Hungary, Romania and other countries are also very happy to see that the strength of the British is still good. In their view, this battle of the French is a failure. The main fleet of the French is going to be gathered and wiped out. In the future, Britain will be the real overlord of the Atlantic Ocean. They also think it is very good to buy British warships in the future.

Russia has just taken the Baltic Sea coast, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea coast. At the same time, the Romanian territory in Eastern Europe they control can also enter the Mediterranean Sea. If there are British warships, can they develop to Western Europe, defeat Poland, and defeat more enemies? For example, principalities such as Austria-Hungary and Prussia in the Holy Roman Empire occupied more land in Western Europe.

After the battle began, the main battleship of the British showed its full combat effectiveness for the first time, fighting hard with the main battleship of the French, the fierce 130mm artillery, and the not very mature front and rear 155mm artillery gave the French a stormy shell rain experience, and the French did not give in, using 150 180mm guns and [-] [-]mm guns to fight back against the British main battleships, bullying the British guns with their calibers.

The cruisers are still patrolling and cruising around the periphery, seeing the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Dutch warships. The Dutch warships, even the main battleships, cannot resist the attack of the 180mm caliber heavy artillery. Under the attack of dozens of cruisers, the Dutch's The fleet quickly collapsed. In less than two hours, thirty Dutch warships withdrew from the battle and returned to the Azov Islands, and fifteen warships were sunk.

The French main battleship dealt a heavy blow to the British. Although they also suffered heavy losses, fifteen frigates blocked the shells for the main battleship and were sunk. Thirteen main battleships were severely damaged. was sunk, 21 were severely damaged, and thirteen were forced to withdraw from the battle. The number of British warships was more than that of the French. Otherwise, most of the Dutch warships retreated, were defeated, and were sunk. It has already retreated.

The battle lasted from four o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening. Under the cover of darkness, the British finally retreated to the Azores with 43 main battleships under the cover of eleven frigates and seven Dutch warships, while the French retreated to the Azores. The remaining 42 main battleships were covered with scars, 60 cruisers, 38 frigates, and three destroyers. There were as many as [-] wounded warships. Thirty-eight ships were sunk, and the wounded warships on their side were also sunk by the British reinforcements who rushed to sink [-] ships, but they could not resist the fierce attack of the French and had to retreat with the brigade.

The battle came to an end in this way, and the French won the final victory, but most of the final fight with the British looked like they were completely wiped out.

Chapter 860 and six of the British concession

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second:

Update as soon as possible!No ads!

The Kingdom of New China soon received requests from Sweden, Poland, Prussia, Russia, Ottoman Turkey, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even the Dutch. Zhang Siyuan and Song Qing were very happy. Through the sale, they sold fifteen frigates to Russia. Russia bought it. Although Ottoman Turkey was poor, it also bought ten frigates and eight destroyers. This was a deal of 3000 million Xinhua.

Then Poland hopes to buy ten frigates, eight destroyers, three old main battleships of the New China Kingdom, and hopes that the New China Kingdom will build them two cruisers, and buy the contract for five repaired cruisers from the French. This is another 3000 Wan Xinhua Yuan.

Then there was Austria-Hungary, who bought seven old capital battleships, eight frigates, three cruisers, and signed a contract to build twenty destroyers.

The Dutch hope to buy [-] frigates, [-] frigates, and [-] main warships to increase the number of their warships, and the Dutch hope that the New China Kingdom can release the blockade of the New Qin State, so that the New Qin The shipyards of China can be used by them, provided that the new Qin State apologizes, and voluntarily cedes some of the land they occupy in Colombia. At the same time, some land on the Venezuelan border of the New Qin State, the two sides stop confrontation and retreat ten miles each. There are only defensive militia troops and some patrolling cavalry in the garrison behind Shilidi, and the new Qin State agreed to release [-] Han people to the New Huaxia Kingdom.

The British asked for peace talks. They were willing to take the Azores, which are close to the Bermuda Islands in North America, and the Samui Islands, which belong to the Azores but are farther away from the Azores, and Weisha, which is close to the coast of Africa and closer to Morocco. As a condition for the peace talks, Er Island hopes that the New China Kingdom can open the Strait of Gibraltar, the two sides will no longer target the Azores route, and the two sides will conduct free trade, and other conditions hope to obtain the consent of the New China Kingdom.

Zhang Siyuan, Song Qing and others all knew that this was a tactic of the British to slow down their troops, but it didn't matter, because in three to five years, the British would not be able to relax.

Although the 670 docks of the British have not stopped, they cannot be satisfied. Because of the supply of raw materials and workers, the population of the British has dropped slowly from the previous 3000 million to 3000 million over the years. Although they have no shortage People, black slaves are everywhere, Indians and brown people can pull back 1000 million people, but there are too few white people in Europe. The white world is an adventurous world. Now white people in many European countries are colonizing all over the world Taking risks, many white people are crowded into the New China Kingdom and the New Qin Kingdom as mercenaries and foreign citizens because of bankruptcy.

Among them, the conditions and environmental pressure of the New Qin Kingdom are relatively small, and it is not easy for the New China Kingdom to pass the review and obtain a household registration. However, many people still gather in remote places, borders, and other places where the foreign population is concentrated in the New China Kingdom, working hard for themselves. Create value and strive to create contribution value for the New China Kingdom, because with the contribution value of the New China Kingdom, ordinary women, the elderly, children, and the whole family will be able to enter the New China Kingdom's foreigner reservation without the sacrifice of young people as soldiers , became a citizen of the New China Kingdom.

The better thing about the New China Kingdom is that there is no oppression, no enclosure movement where sheep cannibalize people, there is land, and if you work hard, you can live well.There are no cruel businessmen and business owners oppressing workers and people. The wages are generous, the social structure is reasonable, and the officials are fairly clean. You can appeal to officials who are not clean, and officials dare to oppress you casually. Therefore, the New China Kingdom is the Western world. However, many white Europeans are willing to come and live here, vying to be mercenaries so that their families can become mercenary families, gain a higher social status, and then enter the New China Kingdom to gain higher benefits.

Yes, the British population is declining. They expelled the descendants of the Han captives, expelled the Han Chinese from Eastern Europe, and expelled the people of some other countries in Eastern Europe. Many white people left for other countries or went to the colonies. The population began to decline. Although with the Renaissance, the medical level of the British increased and the birth survival rate was high, their total population size decreased.

This time, 10 British sailors and personnel died in the battle, 8 colonists and other slave crews died in the battle, and more than 10 people from other countries died in battle, so a total of nearly 30 people died in battle. Only 4 to [-] people escaped early, the battleship was injured, and the battlefield rescue survived, but the British who sent the most troops were the ones who lost the most.

The reason for this is that the French blocked their only North American colony along the coast of North America and went to the North Carolina coast, and sent troops to attack the port of North Carolina. The French army on land occupied the British in North America at one go. In all the colonies in China, the British regular army in those colonies suffered 8 or 2 casualties, or only 4 escaped, and [-] or [-] were captured.

This is the army, as well as immigrants, 30 British immigrants killed 8 people, and the rest were captured or became French colonies of British immigrants, although the French will not be the same as white British immigrants, But oppression is unavoidable, and it is unavoidable to kill thousands of people during the review. Many people's estates and properties will be deprived and handed over to French nobles or military officer families, and businessmen are unavoidable.

This has caused a further reduction in the actual population of the British, and most importantly, the colonial population is also decreasing. The colonial population is the largest population warehouse to supplement the British population. Now that the colonies are lost, these populations will become the French population. Although the French The random migration of immigrant population is not prohibited, but after a long time these people will become French. Maybe they still remember that their ancestors were British, but they are indeed French, and they will integrate into the local French .

Of course, the French were not without losses in this war. They also suffered heavy losses. Many French people in the British colonies were also attacked. About 30 French immigrants suffered, and [-] people fled to French colonies or American colonies. , but was attacked by Americans and Indians there, and lost tens of thousands of people.

The French also sent 30 troops in this sea battle, but only 8 returned in the end, and about 20 people lost, of which 8 to [-] were mercenaries from other European countries and Americans, Indians, blacks, But France did lose more than one hundred thousand people, which is about the same as the British, or even a little more.

So the loss of population in Europe this time is about 30 to 100 million people. This is a combination of naval battle sacrifices and other sacrifices, including the deaths of people from various countries and colonial soldiers and mercenaries from various countries. In short, after a battle, Europe and the West The world lost a total of 100 million people.

The first thousand and 860 chapters and seven chapters of the New China Kingdom Population Dividend

They also need to recruit about 50 soldiers, 50 colonial soldiers and mercenaries, which makes nearly 100 more people become victims of the next war, fighting more and more between the French, British, Dutch over the years , the last time it was not more than half a year ago, there were hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the lives of about 10 million people were implicated.

During the ten-year war, Europe and the West sacrificed nearly 300 million people, and the supplementary population is not the population born in Europe. It is good that Europe can supplement [-] million people. Most of the supplementary population are immigrants returning from the colonies and colonial countries. The population and the population of various tribes, and even more of the captive Han population or the mercenary population of other countries, make Europe an era of great integration.

About 300 million Han people have been expelled now, 100 million people have been lost in the war, about 700 million people have been implicated, and their lives are difficult, which makes the European population accelerate the pace of immigration, and the benefits are the New China Kingdom and the New Qin Kingdom, Spaniards or Russians from Eastern Europe.

Where did these Han people go, of course it caused the West to fall into depression, so the population of the British dropped from 3000 million, and of course the population of the French also dropped, because their population went to the colonies and wasted in the jungle They went to valleys and rivers, or were consumed in wars with local aborigines, or were consumed by naval battles of several countries, and some became pirates of various countries.

With the end of the Anglo-French-Dutch War, the New China Kingdom continued to receive orders for warships from various countries. The New China Kingdom allowed countries to settle with gold coins or banknotes from various countries, while asking for materials, supplies, and minerals from various countries. With the help of the New China Kingdom, it penetrated into various countries, so that those Han people and foreign populations in the New China Kingdom who could not enter the kingdom's common people were organized to go to various countries to build and make money. At the same time, because these people entered the countries, the countries also circulated. The Xinhua Yuan made the coins of the Han people gradually withdraw from the circulation areas of various countries due to the weakening of the Huaxia Empire. The coins of the Han people once again entered the circulation channels of various countries, and the Xinhua Yuan of the New China became more valuable. .

Gold and silver from various countries flowed back to the New China Kingdom in this way, allowing the New China Kingdom to issue more Xinhua Yuan for use by other countries, and to buy back products that they could not produce from other countries. The trade of the New China Kingdom also developed. .

The British had to accept the payment of Xinhua Yuan from New China. For the first time, foreign businessmen from the Kingdom of New China set foot on British soil and introduced commodities and Xinhua Yuan to Britain.

Regrettably, countries such as Britain or Spain do not allow Han people to trade, and even the new Qin State does not allow Han people in the New China Kingdom to trade in the past, so the New China Kingdom can only be in Eastern Europe, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Turkey and other places, as well as France The Chinese played a role, and because of the previous resistance of the French, the role of the Han people was still very small, and their status was not very high, so they could only use mercenary families and foreign civilians to conduct commercial trade and maritime trade in these Western countries.

However, the New China Kingdom has made great progress this year. Not only has it earned a lot of gold and silver, land, and population from European countries in the Western world this time, it has also earned a wealth of about 4000 million Xinhua Yuan. At the same time, due to the establishment of trade with the China Empire , population, materials, and minerals make the wealth generated by the taxation and trade of the New Huaxia Kingdom also one billion Chinese yuan, about [-] million new Chinese yuan. It is infinitely close. Now the value of Xinhua Yuan is at least four times that of Huaxia Yuan. In the general market, it is even as much as twelve times.

This is the dividend brought by a strong country. The Huaxia Empire sent 50 people to the New Qin Kingdom to the New Huaxia Kingdom. These people landed in Xinding Yangzhou, and then the original Han population in Xinding Yangzhou returned. The land of North America has enriched the Han people in North America, which has increased the number of native Han people, and some of the population has reached Morocco and Xinxizhou, which has increased the population of each state by 300 Han people. The Han people who contributed, this part of the population has been relatively large in the past two years, about 600 million, making the Han population of the New China Kingdom jump up to a level of about [-] million Han people.

Once again, the New China Kingdom also absorbed the foreign population and family members of those mercenaries who had contributed to the New China Kingdom, making the New China Kingdom's foreign population reach 800 million, and the New China Kingdom's total population reached 400 million. In addition, there are 500 million Han people waiting to enter, and 280 million foreigners waiting to be reviewed. Therefore, if the population of the New China Kingdom can be expected, it will reach 3000 to [-] million in the future, which is more than the population of the British.

The population of European countries is declining, and the population of the New China Kingdom is increasing, especially the population of the Han people. This is a gratifying thing.

Compared with the chaotic French-occupied British colonies, French colonies, and various Indian tribal conflicts and vendettas on the territory of the Americans, the contradictions between French and British immigrants, French immigrants at the same time Americans, Indians, conflicts with British immigrants, and many other conflicts, and the war has just ended, the two sides are still red-eyed, many conflicts occur every day, and other places where they are fighting, the New China Kingdom in North America is simply a paradise on earth.

Although there are actually such contradictions in the New China Kingdom now, the captives do not get along with the temporary mercenaries who guard them every day, that is, the cannon fodder mercenary team, and some casualties will make life difficult. Due to the previous hatred of various countries in the foreign population, especially the French foreigners The population is the same as that of the British foreign population, and the fighting spirit between the Dutch businessmen and the British is actually causing casualties every day. In a year, there will be a total of 2 or [-] casualties because of these times, but overall the casualties are much less than that of the French colonies where the war has just ended. up.

Of course, many mercenaries died in the colonies from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean that the French sold to the New China Kingdom before. Immigrants, Mexicans, and those who died in the conflict between Indians are still in the investigation period. The conflicts between Han mercenaries during the temporary compilation period also kill and injure dozens of people every day. To conquer this land, there are still few Han people, although there are still immigrants. The Han people from the West and the Han people from the Chinese Empire came to reclaim the land and occupy this land. At the same time, there were also those Han people who were exiled from domestic criminals, and the foreign population. Various conflicts emerged one after another. In fact, there were 3 to [-] deaths and injuries every year , and the French are not too far behind, but in comparison, the New China Kingdom is still stable and powerful.
