Lord of Ming Dynasty

With such a stable environment, people from all over the world still hope to come to the New Kingdom of China.

The first thousand eight hundred and sixty eight chapters are still not enough to make money

But even so, the New China Kingdom is still not as profitable as the New Qin Kingdom at its peak. At that time, the New Qin Kingdom was so rich and powerful. Now the New China Kingdom has a large territory and a large expenditure. At the same time, there are so many people to feed, so much land but The utilization rate is actually not high. Now the West basically relies on maritime trade to support them. They can dump food from each other. If there is not enough food, they can plunder the colonies to supplement food. The British have the big granary in India to supplement, even if all the Indians starve to death. Even the British will not starve to death.

At the same time, the British still have a huge North American colony. Now that there are no colonies, it is a bit unreliable for the British to be far away from India, which is thousands of miles away. Taking it here is to make the sea journey from India to the British more convenient and closer. This is closer than going around Africa through the Indian Ocean, but now it belongs to the New China Kingdom.

The Kingdom of New China was blocked by the British and the Western world in the past few years. The canal has not played much role. In recent years, it has cooperated with the French, the French and the Spaniards, and the caravans of the Dutch traded with the French in South America and North America. As well as the trade with the Huaxia Empire, the New Huaxia Kingdom also took advantage of it, getting more supplies, food, minerals, and most of all, taxes.

Generally speaking, the New China Kingdom used to have at most tens of millions of pounds in income, hundreds of millions of Spanish gold coins in taxes, and most of the warships were used to make land and population, materials and minerals with the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. At the same time, most of them were consumed due to the resettlement of the relocated population, troop mobilization, expansion, and weapons and equipment. Not much fell into the pocket of the kingdom, so it was very hard.

They didn't need a lot of money before, because the sea trade was not smooth, not many people traded, and the transaction was also done by barter, and the currency circulating in the European world was too complicated. Some years later, there was the Chinese Empire The Chinese Yuan and the British Pound, the Spanish Eagle Ocean, gold coins as the transaction target, and gold and silver as the basic transaction measurement target, but all these years have been paper money, the circulation is not very good, gold and silver The output is small, and most of them are collected, so most of them are material transactions, land transactions, and commodity exchange exchanges, so that even if the New China Kingdom does not have so much money, it can still prosper through other methods.

For example, a large number of captives can be dealt with with food, and a large number of places that need to be built can be built, especially some port construction, river dredging, railway construction, mountain digging, stone mining, logging, bridge building and road repairing. The Han people need to give money when they participate, and what they give is the Xinhua Yuan of New China. Some Huaxia Yuan was returned in the early stage, and all of them were replaced with Xinhua Yuan later.

Although the recognition is not high, everyone has no choice. This is mandatory. The New China Kingdom did not have so much gold and silver at the beginning. Even if there is a little later, it cannot be circulated. This has to deal with foreign transactions, so people have to accept it. Now, with the comfortable life of the New China Kingdom for several years, the strength of the country, and the increase in population, the New China Yuan of the New China Kingdom, referred to as Xinhua Yuan, has been greatly recognized, and the Huaxia Empire has also begun to recognize the Xinhua Kingdom of the New China. Yuan, because only in this way can they exchange for more advanced Western products, especially warships, from the New China Kingdom.

The Huaxia Empire has risen to another kind of chaos. The dynasty has basically been unable to command the governor's district, and more places in the core area have gone their own way. Generation after generation, this dynasty has been in existence for 170 years. When the country was founded, everyone was excited , Many people are boiling with Zhang Qiang's enthusiasm. Now everyone lives their own lives, and their lives are more nourishing. They think about their own thoughts, and at the same time they are more closed. They have not dealt with Western countries for nearly 100 years.

Dealing with the new Qin State is not counted with the new Huaxia Kingdom, because that is the Han Kingdom, they have long been ignorant of the cunning and viciousness of the Western countries, because of the occupation of power, they occupied the entire Pacific Ocean, almost becoming It has become the inner sea of ​​the Chinese Empire, and Westerners have been unable to intervene in anything here for more than 100 years. Western businessmen come to trade intermittently, just to let them know that there is a West.

However, in recent years, the trade with the private merchants of the New China Kingdom, especially the Han merchants, has gone through Hawaii and the canal waterway, so that they can quickly arrive in about a month, and make a round trip in three months to trade in South America. If you trade with Xinding Yangzhou, you can make a lot of profits. There are many businessmen and exchanges between the two sides, which makes the Chinese imperial family feel that this is a good way, an opportunity to save the royal family and the Chinese empire, so strengthened Official trade, with official trade, there will be more private trade between the two sides.

So there are nearly [-] million commercial transactions every year.

However, the trade volume of more than [-] million new Chinese dollars, even though the new Chinese dollars are actually more valuable than the British pound, is still not enough for the consumption and practicality of the New China Kingdom, because the trade volume is getting bigger, more funds are needed, and the population is larger. , the need for more food and supplies, relying on a few territories and local trade will not be enough, the Xinhua Yuan of New China has to increase more issuance, and only has one billion Xinhua Yuan, it is impossible to At the same time, the oldest bank appeared at this time, and under the interference of Zhang Siyuan, Zhang Qiang's second time-traveling body, the bank was called the bank in the New China Kingdom.

However, so much money still cannot meet the needs of a population of 2000 million, which is actually more than 3000 million, and business cannot meet the material exchange of so many people. Therefore, when the New China Kingdom must increase revenue and reduce expenditure, it needs more land and more Resources, such as North American land, such as the role of the commercial trade exchange transfer station of the Azores, connect Morocco and New West, and connect to Africa and Central Asia, allowing them to directly trade with the Chinese Empire on land.

Therefore, the New China Kingdom has been staring at the land of North America and the colonial struggle between Britain and France. At the same time, the next step is to let the Americans disappear on this land, and then they will all own this land in North America, just like the United States in later generations. When the right time, place and people are in harmony, the East can't reach them, Europe can't touch them, and in the middle of two developing worlds, both sides have a source of wealth, the left side can get the fruits of the development of the Western world, and the right side can reach out to the Eastern countries in the Pacific Ocean to plunder. Demographic Dividend.

Zhang Siyuan smiled wryly. He actually thought of the country that all Chinese people hated, thinking of becoming what they would be like in later generations, and making the New China Kingdom the overlord of the Western world, and even the historical world of this game.

The first thousand eight hundred and sixty nine chapters were beaten twice

The second large-scale naval battle between Britain and France is over. From both sides, the French still have a total of 550 warships. Including the wounded and returned warships, they have a total of 780 warships. Overall, the French lost a lot, [-] The battleships returned nearly four hundred, and this was plus wounded and captured battleships.

The British and the Dutch returned more than 300 warships from [-] warships, and divided them equally. This time, each country basically lost more than half of their warships, and the new Qin State lost [-]% of its battleships. This caused the new Qin State's maritime strength to decline again, and it became a small fleet that could only maintain patrols in the nearby waters. With [-] or [-] warships, coupled with the strong blockade of the New China Kingdom, the New Qin State once again fell into a state of panic.

The Dutch were beaten back to the original era, and the dozens of warships returned were all scarred, and they were controlled by the British. 70.00% of the shipyards made all the warships, and the remaining 30.00% of the shipyards repaired these returned warships. It took one year, so their fleet was only a little better than that of the new Qin State. In the end, there were 120 warships left, most of which were damaged and repaired warships returning from the voyage.

The Portuguese originally had more than 600 warships, but this time they dispatched more than 300 warships, and only forty or fifty warships returned, all of which were injured. In addition, some warships need to replenish the fleet, which makes their shipyards very busy, and will not provide the British with the ability to build warships. All they lost are the main battleships. Most of the remaining more than 300 warships are near As their backbone, there are only about 180 navy warships left to fight in future battles, and the other 380 warships can only guard their homes, but overall, they still have [-] warships, capable of defending the mainland.

In comparison, the Spaniards suffered a greater loss than the Portuguese. Some of their warships were injured and returned, but most of them were unusable, so they only had 320 warships that did not play in the original battle. The model, their overall strength is only 150 warships, which is simply a heavy psychological burden for their disharmonious relationship with the New China Kingdom.

So the New Qin Kingdom could only bear with it, and at the same time became more dependent on the British. The New China Kingdom did not have so much energy to deal with them. Although it strengthened some patrols and fleet surveillance, the blockade was lifted later, because it is now the time for the whole country It's time for a battleship facelift.

Many battleships used to deal with the new Qin State and sold the old warships to other Western countries in the future. They replaced the first-generation old-style cruisers and the second-generation improved cruisers. At the same time, the main force also replaced some new-style cruisers. , and the new main battleships after adjustment and improvement, although the number of warships has decreased more than that in the second naval battle between Britain and France.

At present, the number of main battleships in the entire New China Kingdom is only 720, and the total number of old warships owned by the Coast Guard is only 3. How much combat power, so the navy of the New China Kingdom now seems to be almost No. [-] in the entire Western world.

The French ranked first with more than 400 main fleet warships after the war, the British ranked second with about 780 ships after the war, the Portuguese came from behind, ranked No.4, and the Spaniards No. .5, New Qin State No.6.

If you count those who have just placed orders and some other western countries with old-fashioned warships, the Spaniards will be ranked sixth, the new Qin State will be ranked seventh, and Russia will be ranked No. 5, because they have also been developing their navy, but It is limited to the Caspian Sea, a place that cannot get out from all sides, and part of it is in the Baltic Sea. Ottoman Turkey also has dozens of backward sailing warships and steam engine warships in the Caspian Sea, and even some ironclad warships in the Black Sea. It is barely No. 8.

Not to mention these, anyway, the New China Kingdom has few warships now, but still no one dares to provoke them, because everyone knows that they have offended them, and they can order more than 700 warships for you a year like dumplings, and at the same time they Their warships are sold in other Western countries except the British. Everyone knows that their warships are good, their navy is powerful, and their warships are advanced in technology. They are the places that naval personnel of all countries yearn for.

With the end of the second Anglo-French naval battle, the New China Kingdom gained more benefits, and the most important thing was that they had secured the title of maritime overlord. Everyone knows that the New China Kingdom has a powerful navy, patrolling the Atlantic Ocean twice. After the failure, except for the French who may challenge their maritime superiority, the disabled British have to make a compromise and compromise with the New China Kingdom.

Now the British Navy in the Azores has relaxed the control over the passage of caravans in the Kingdom of New China, but warships still need to report. With the development of telegraph wireless, all countries can communicate with clear codes or special military codes through telegrams, so this kind of Passage became possible, and communication became possible. Two fleets meeting at sea whistled when they were close, and communicated with each other through clear telegram wirelessly when they were far away, so as not to cause misunderstanding.

The British also obtained the right for caravans to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar. Warships need to be negotiated. Strait into the Mediterranean to do business.

In this way, the British are already very content. Maybe they feel that after being hurt twice now, they should behave a little better. The two times were disabled. The last time was a surprise attack on the mainland of the new Qin State, and this time it was the French who attacked them. They lost After conquering the North American colonies, he had to compromise.

The British knew that they had lost in this century-old battle for supremacy in the sea, and in the end the French won the superficial supremacy, but in fact everyone knew that the New China Kingdom was the supremacy.

With the two naval battles only a few years apart, the British sailors and naval personnel and talents were almost exhausted, and even Europe was dragged down by them. Many seamen and talents were killed and injured. Nearly more than 100 million seamen died in the sea. Most of the 10 personnel are still French and British, and other European countries have divided them up. Those who want to have a higher quality have to be retrained. Without ten years, the British navy will not be able to rise again.

The first thousand and 870 chapters of the colony fear the way

The British calmed down temporarily, and the New China Kingdom suddenly discovered that sometimes it is not just fighting and killing that can make the enemy surrender, and only by inflicting heavy losses on the enemy and knowing one's own weakness can the enemy consider submitting temporarily or tiredly.

The New China Kingdom supports the French to suppress the British. This policy has finally convinced the British. Although the number of warships of the British now exceeds that of the New China Kingdom, the British know from the French naval battles that the warships used by the French Compared with their new main battleships, they are more fierce and powerful. There is a big gap between them and the New China Kingdom. The reason why the French main battleships can last so long is because the warships of the New China Kingdom have strong defense and firepower. Everyone is similar in terms of aspects, but the above two items prevent the British from sinking the French main battleship completely or quickly.

In addition, the French bought the cruisers of the New China Kingdom, and used the cruisers to drag down many of their powerful main battleships and frigates, and even more dragged down many low-level warships, sinking and destroying many main battleships.

Knowing the power of cruisers, the British also began to develop cruisers. They have such a large colony, and they have to manage such a distant colony. Cruisers, now they know the power of cruisers, which can determine the outcome of a sea battle.

The New Qin State has such technology, and they also know the power of cruisers. They are restarting the development and production of cruisers, but first they need to free up the dock, and then start research. After the British came and provided a lot of funds, the new Qin State was launched again.

This still needs a process. The British and the new Qin State are not in harmony. Although the new Qin State wants to rely on it again, there is still a little bit of hatred from the last time the country was destroyed. At the same time, the British discriminate against them. After all, They also fought naval battles with the British for decades, and the decades of wars could not be resolved in a short while. Although they were later controlled by the British, the two sides were brought closer, but the Han people were naturally defensive against foreigners. Even if they have fallen to the British, it is natural.

Not to mention the cruiser, anyway, the reconciliation with the New China Kingdom or the purchase of warships by kingdoms that have little relationship have created a lot of employment jobs for the New China Kingdom, and also made the shipbuilding industry of the New China Kingdom, especially the warship industry. The kingdom has been blocked by the British for so many years. When the West was more discriminatory, the economy developed and the sea trade also developed. The reconnection of the Chinese Empire made them the representatives of the Chinese in the West, and they also embraced Thighs, although the thighs are not very strong now, but the advantage is that the demographic dividend is back again. With the continuous population input of the Huaxia Empire, their Han people have increased.

It takes a few years to absorb more than 500 million new Han Chinese, and then there will be a steady stream of Han Chinese coming from the East every year, making their population base, especially the population base of Han Chinese, reach more than 3000 million in a few years, then At that time, the total population base may exceed more than 4000 million, and that will be the No. 1 populous country in the Western world.

The first thousand and eighty-seventy chapters clear the internal evil population

"Recently, the Americans seem to be very restless. They are rubbing against us everywhere. The people in our provisional area on the border have been attacked several times by Americans and tribes that are close to the Americans. More than 100 people have been killed or injured. Our people are just chasing Kill those Americans and Indians in our territory, once they cross the border, our troops will abide by the agreement and will not pursue them anymore, so we will suffer a lot.”

After replacing Zhang Yuan to the new Dingyang Prefecture as the governor, and transferring Luo Zuo from there to serve as the commander of the Kingdom Army, this Luo Zuo, who has been a veteran of the Han Chinese army in the West since the new Qin Kingdom, drank tea slowly while Carefully speaking to Zhang Siyuan while stroking his gray beard.

Luo Zuo is already 72 years old, which is already an advanced age. This is why Zhang Siyuan transferred him back to serve as the commander of the army. After Jin Lin left, there was no other veteran of the army with higher qualifications than him. After two dynasties, regardless of seniority As for military exploits, he is the veteran of the Han people in the Western Kingdom, so he did not dare to disagree. Even Wei Yuanchao, the veteran of the army of the New China Kingdom who has been following Zhang Siyuan, admires Luo Zuo very much.

In the navy is Zhuang Lin, slightly inferior is Song Qing, and the others are all rising stars newly developed by the New China Kingdom. Although they are not young, they are all juniors in front of Luo Zuo and Zhuang Lin. They were all promoted by Zhuang Lin. Even Zhang Siyuan was able to serve as a second lieutenant in the new Qin state, and he was able to reach the captain of the navy from the logistics of the marine corps in the army. It was Zhuang Lin's indirect credit, Song Qing's promotion credit, and Lu Fang's appreciation.

Lu Fang died in the line of duty for the new Qin State, Song Qing and the others are the new pillars of the New Qin State Navy, and Zhang Yuan and Zhang Siyuan have worked hard with Zhang Siyuan, so they have to stay behind.
