Lord of Ming Dynasty

As far as these two eat meat, their mouths are full of greasy food. The Spaniards and the British lost the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and could only confront the Dutch and French in the waters of Cuba and the southern ocean at the lower end of the Caribbean Sea. After such a toss, The strength of the British fleet in the Caribbean Sea has dropped to 160 warships, of which only [-] are the main battleships. Although they seem to be powerful, they can only defend the colonies and the colonial ports in the Caribbean Sea. It is impossible to start a war and fight back.

So far, the British lost the Gulf of Mexico, were trapped in the Caribbean Sea, lost the African coast and the Strait of Gibraltar, the Spaniards and Portuguese were beaten to the ground, and the navy was useless. Now the Azov Islands of the New Qin State are still blocked in the Atlantic Ocean In the middle, separating the North and South Atlantic Oceans, the British passage to the various colonies is full of dangers and obstacles. Although their home fleet has more than 1000 warships and more than 600 main battleships, other colonies can also have more than 6000 warships if they are assembled. , but after all, they are in decline. Even if they can produce 100 warships per month, due to poor transportation of raw materials and more losses than replenishment, only a mere [-] warships are launched every month.

The main battleship is only a mere thirty ships.

The British are also in trouble now. Scotland rebelled over there, and they mobilized the army to suppress it. Here, the exploited North American immigrants in the colonies rebelled. They mobilized the army to rebel. They retreated steadily at sea. The new Qin State has made a mess and gained a lot of benefits. Now they are also leaking everywhere in the country, and they are in a state of desperation.

The airy political situation makes them unwilling to improve their military technology, so even if they improve their main battleships again, their combat effectiveness will not be improved much. This is already more than ten years behind the military technology of the new Qin State. They made it bigger, but for the sake of speed, they still lost their defensive power. The speed increased to 23 knots, but their defensive power was still the same as that of an armed merchant ship. They could only increase the tonnage. If the tonnage was increased, there would be more boilers and steam engines loaded, and there would be more problems. , so their maximum sprint speed is 23 knots, but usually they can only fight at 21 knots, and their economical sailing speed is [-] knots, which is much higher than the current New Qin Kingdom and New Huaxia Kingdom.

Now the economic speed of the New Qin Kingdom is [-] knots, and the economic speed of the New China Kingdom is also [-] knots, because if it is too high, there is not so much coal, so I dare not squander it recklessly, and generally use [-] knots when there is no emergency Sailing, just a little higher or equal to the maximum tailwind speed in the age of sail.

However, sometimes the new Qin State often runs at a speed of fifteen or six knots, but the overall average speed is still around twelve knots. Sailing on the sea is not a kind of speed to keep to the end. It is necessary to speed up or slow down according to the situation. The average speed is [-] knots. Sometimes it is [-] or [-] knots because of an emergency. At the same time, whether it is the New Qin Kingdom or the New Huaxia Kingdom, their overseas territories are generally far away. speed up, so their overall speed is uneven.

Most merchant ships maintain an economical speed of 30.00 knots. The longer the voyage, the lower the speed, because the faster the voyage consumes, the less it can reach. The heat utilization rate of the current steam engine is not very high, and the overall rate is only [-]%. By around forty, a lot of steam engine power actually leaked from the broken pipes, and sometimes it had to be leaked deliberately to reduce the pressure of the boiler, otherwise it would be nice to explode.

The situation of Britain, the situation of the new Qin State, and the current situation of the Spaniards are all chaotic, not only the war with the new Qin State, but also their domestic conflicts and rebellions. ah.

Not only that, the invasion of the West by the Han Chinese in the New Qin State made the poor Westerners who were dissatisfied with the rule of Western aristocrats flee to the New Qin State or go to the colonies. Their environment in the colonies is relatively relaxed, which is why Westerners have so many colonies. , the main force they fled from was western robbers, thieves, daughters-in-law, pirates, adventurers, gold diggers, most of them were poor people, there were also missionaries who were keen on missions, and missionaries who committed crimes, in short, there were all kinds of poor people or criminals , These people account for the majority of people in Western society, and after spreading to the whole world, they will bring the Western world to the whole world like a plague. They are the cannon fodder for the West to poison the whole world.

It has played a very important role in the development of the West, but for people in other places, it is a disaster. Now these disasters are all collected by other colonies and the two Han kingdoms, and then let them fight against their own country, Or fight against other Western countries, such as using Spanish prisoners to organize mercenaries to attack the French, use Spanish prisoners to attack the British, or attack their own colonies, and use the British to attack other countries that dare to offend the Han Kingdom.

Over the years, the New Qin State has consumed at least 200 million Western mercenaries and foreign civilians, and it has killed nearly 100 million pirates and sailors from Western countries. After many battles, the number of sailors who wiped out 40 million enemies in 100 years is still relatively small Yes, the key is that those aborigines have at least tens of millions of people under the consumption of the Westerners and the Han Kingdom, and these losses are still the basic population of the Westerners, because under the influence of Western missionaries, these aborigines will become Westerners in the future. The population and those who did not obey the call were killed by the Westerners. Although the technology of the Westerners advanced rapidly when the Han Chinese arrived, they also lost a lot of population. The more advanced the technology, the more people died. This is Truth proven by posterity.

Although the British were the first to enter the steam engine age from the age of sail, they were only one step ahead of the Spaniards and two steps ahead of the French, but the price they paid was not cheap. Well, although the quality of these ten thousand has increased several times, they are all steel warships, steam engine warships, and advanced iron-clad warships, but their number is declining rapidly. With the development of science and technology, more high-quality talents are needed , If one of these people dies, a lot of training costs and time will be lost.

Now the warships in other British colonies have entered the era of steam engines, but most of the warships are distributed in overseas colonies. In the Atlantic Ocean, in the mainland, their total number of warships is only a little over 100, even if more than 300 warships are added every month. Now there are only warships in the early 200s. When fighting the Dutch and the French, they also contained at least 2000 warships. Now there are only more than [-] warships left, because [-] warships were wiped out by the fleet led by the Dutch and Zhang Siyuan. There were many ships, and the rest were wiped out by the Dutch and the French. There are more than [-] ships left in the British mainland and North American colonial fleets, and most of them are concentrated in the mainland. They are all newly produced warships.

In order to prepare these warships, the British have been preparing for half a year. They have been preparing since the beginning of the naval battle with the New China Kingdom. Their sailors are too short. You want to lose 50 warships in a few years, with at least 700 people on each warship. , there are more than 12 people, even if they are not all sailors and officers, some people can be temporarily recruited, and it takes a lot of effort. They have too many naval battles to fight, and the loss of officers has reached 20, and senior sailors have lost even more More than 60 people can be recruited by ordinary sailors. In addition, these recruited sailors also lost [-] million people. If not all of them died, at least half of them came back alive. Many people retired and some were redeemed, but in the end There are still very few people who can stay. Now that there is a shortage of sailors in Britain, hired sailors from various countries have joined in, and sailors from the colonies have also been called up, which is enough to make up the quota for the newly produced warships.

These people must be trained to gather them, otherwise they can operate the battleship by throwing you a bunch of people, just dream, these people are lucky not to let you drive the battleship into the Mariana Trench, which is why the New China Kingdom let The British suffered heavy losses, but there was no reason for the British to respond for a while.

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

Miami, on the Florida peninsula, a large number of trees were cut down to build houses. In the lumberyard, the captured sailors of the British worked under the supervision of Prussian and Dutch mercenaries, while the Spanish sailors rested on the other side. The naturalized Han mercenaries and Mexican mercenaries in Colombia, the same is true for quarries, and there are also stone crushing plants that excavate coral reefs from the sea and crush them, as well as cement factories and charcoal factories. A large number of captives work here in obscurity with.

Surrounding them are squads of Han regiment soldiers stationed on high ground, some from the Han cavalry regiment, and some from the Han artillery regiment. The Han troops are generally deployed around all the captives and mercenaries, and deploy heavy troops in certain places. Guarding key traffic arteries, strategic points, vaguely forming an image of defense.

On Miami Island, the strength of the Han Chinese is the skeleton, the mercenaries are the flesh and blood, and the captives and common people are the blood and nutrients inside, while Zhang Siyuan’s naval fleet and marine brigade are the brain and cerebral cortex, and the Han cavalry regiment is the neural unit. , to transmit messages, and roads are connected neural channels.

With the passage of time, it has been half a year since I came here. The new Chinese army that has gained a firm foothold has begun to build here, the shipyard has also been built, the wharf and port have also been expanded, and the steel plant and ironworks have also come out. With the raw materials Arrived here, the maintenance and production of warships have also started here, and there is no need to go back to the mainland of Morocco. Because they sold a large number of captured warships to the Dutch, the warships they added were only 50 or 82 warships. There are also many captured warships. Now, with the third support from Morocco, more than half of the [-] newly launched main battleships have come over, and the number of their main battleships has reached [-].

Coupled with the number of 32 frigates, the strength of the fleet here has reached [-]% of the largest super fleet of the British.

It can be said that they are fully capable of destroying any western colonial fleet here, but Zhang Siyuan did not do that. His eyes were fixed on North America, the place where the superpowers of later generations rose. This place has a special geographical location, and Europe cannot hit it. No matter how powerful Asia and Africa are, it will take a lot of effort to travel long distances to reach it. There must not be as many people landing on it. The strength and strength of landing can never be consumed by it growing up. That remote part of Australia is closer to the center of the world.

It is far away from the war here. It takes a lot of effort for Europeans to fight here, and it takes ten times as much for Asians. At the same time, it relies on European economic and human resources, and also has European white blood, making it both ways , don’t be too safe, it’s more profitable than Chinese insurance companies in later generations, and it’s safer than people who make money with fraud and power in later generations, compared to those who buy original stocks and put them in the secondary market after a while It is safer for them to make money, so God chose a good place for Americans and gave them an identity that fits this place, white Americans.

At the same time, God also gave them a set of their own beliefs in line with this world and the human world, that is, survival and continuation, preserving the smallest social unit for continuation of existence, family and personal interests, Zhang Qiang their world later It’s just that I didn’t see the world clearly. It’s definitely right to let the poor stand up, but let the poor sacrifice for the collective benefit and the national benefit, but they don’t give corresponding inclinations. The purpose of doing so is still a foundation, for the sake of the individual and the family. In the end, it became necessary to sacrifice the individual for the benefit of the collective and the country, and it was an aimless sacrifice, like a big invisible hand tearing apart, no matter whether it is a senior executive, a high-ranking official, or the common people, they are all in this big invisible hand. The inside became a victim, but compared to the high-ranking officials at least enjoyed the benefits and prosperity, while the poor are always contributors and losers. If they want to get benefits, they have to use all means to snatch the benefits of others, which leads to the destruction of family and personal interests. After the foundation of the continued survival of this race is destroyed, the society inevitably develops deformed.

Of course, the development of Americans in later generations is even more deformed. They reached the peak of deformity first, and wanted to destroy the most basic things. Therefore, human beings may eventually decline, because they have betrayed the law that human beings are also animals. The main basis of animals is continuation and survival. Only when individuals survive and reach a certain number can the continuation and survival of the race. They The best way is to use very little individual enjoyment to develop the society, but what they do a little better is to pay attention to and control, and restrain the ambitions of those who destroy the interests of individuals and families.

Facing such a thriving new Chinese empire, the British fleet trapped in the Caribbean Sea was also worried. They sent ships through the Spanish Port-au-Prince Strait many times and then returned to the United Kingdom from the Atlantic around the Azores to ask for reinforcements. The fleet should be dispatched to attack the Dutch and the Miami territory of the New China Kingdom.

But a real problem is that they only cooperate tacitly with the new Qin State, and have not really lifted the fighting state. Although an armistice agreement was signed, the New Qin State Navy did not reconcile with them. Both sides have spent their time fighting, even though Wunan and the others have tended to seek refuge with the British, the conflict of interests between the two parties makes the cooperation between the two parties not so close.

The British are not good at it. Under such circumstances, they began to mobilize their forces. What they want is to solve the nail of the Azores first. In addition, they also need to reinforce the Caribbean Sea. The Dutch have swallowed Puerto Rico. The Spaniards have been cut off from Grenada, Venezuela, South America and other places. Now the British can only go to Port-au-Prince to go out of the Atlantic Ocean. Don’t even think about the fleet in the Gulf of Mexico. If there is really no other way, they can only go to Xindingzhou. The Spanish took control of the canal.

Where are the Caribbean Fleet and the Pacific Rim Fleet controlled by them in the Gulf of Mexico and Central America? This time, the British transferred the Pacific Fleet from the canal to the Caribbean Sea to reinforce the Caribbean Fleet and the Caribbean Super Fleet. One and a half of the volume is left, plus the Caribbean Fleet is the volume of two super fleets, 210 warships, [-] main battleships, if you join the Pacific Fleet, then it will be two and a half super fleets, the British China's Pacific Fleet is just a combination of the steam engine warships of the past and the decommissioned generation of ironclad ships. Although the replacement of the sail warships by the first generation of ironclad ships was an improvement at the time, it has fallen behind now.

After this battle, the British planned to replace the Pacific Fleet with the second-generation ironclad warships. They used the newly produced and improved third-generation second-generation ironclad battleships as the main battleships. They named the warships the Irish-class warships.

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

In the port of Port-au-Prince, a Spanish Caribbean colony, the 20 British second-generation ironclad ships left here by Spain, an improved ironclad ship, were successfully imitated by the Spaniards. The Spaniards still have about 300 warships in the colony. There are some old remaining seventy sailing warships, thirty steam engine warships, and more than [-] armed steam engine transport ships and merchant ships. There are more than [-] merchant ships of their merchants here, shuttling around the Caribbean colonies, barely maintaining With the operation here, blood transfusions are given to the Spanish mainland, and gold and silver treasures are brought.

However, the extravagant life of the Spanish royal family and the struggle for power by the nobles made Spain, even a large colony with rich resources, still heavily in debt and the country was broken. Loans to maintain the operation of the country, they have produced so many warships with loans, bought so many British warships and other commodities, but the remaining large amount of loans are not enough to pay the British loan interest except for supporting the royal family and nobles. For this reason, I had to take another loan from the British, and at the same time, I also took a loan from the Dutch. The Netherlands is a commercial kingdom, and the Portuguese nobles are also the object of their loans. Therefore, the Spaniards owe money to almost all European countries. Now they really can’t hold on .

There is no powerful maritime fleet, which is what the British hope to see. There is no maritime trade caravan that can pass through the four seas. In the past, they could plunder the East. Now the East can only share some interests with the British in India. The big head is the British. The people took it away, and the production of Western colonies and African colonies is not enough to repay the loan, and it is not enough to eat enough food. This is also the key factor why they have been restricted by the British, although they now have some naval battles with the British from time to time or both sides Play a game from time to time, but generally they still have to listen to the British.

This is not an order brought to them by the British to capture Puerto Rico and hold down the Dutch fleet. The British will send 50 warships from their Pacific Fleet to support them. The Spaniards had to summon warships overnight. The warships can come. According to their knowledge, the Dutch in Puerto Rico only have [-] main warships and an auxiliary fleet composed of more than [-] merchant ships and sailing ships. There are a lot of warships, and the decisive battle is usually the main fleet to attack, and then everyone knows that the two will fight in a specific sea area, the winner takes all, the loser loses, withdraw from the colony or carefully deal with the opponent's landing in the colony.

The British not only had such a single-handed arrangement, they also arranged for the Caribbean fleet to attack the Dutch colonial governor's territory, Grand Bahama Island, with 160 main battleships and 150 auxiliary warships headed for Grand Bahama Island, followed by them The most important thing is the super fleet of 180 main battleships and [-] auxiliary warships, one hundred steam engine merchant ships and armed merchant ships to supply the two fleets, and some remaining sailing warships. They will know as soon as they move the New China Kingdom, because they have the new Qin Dynasty. spies from the United States and intelligence from the Dutch.

Not only that, the British also dispatched the North American colonial fleet to attack Xindingzhou. The North American colonial super fleet also attacked Xindingzhou. , About three or four hundred nautical miles to Xindingzhou, at the same time the army of North American colonial immigrants on land attacked the army in Xindingzhou.

In Spain, the Spaniards also launched large-scale anti-war wars on land. This time they had [-] colonial troops transferred from India by the British. Don't you participate?

They gave the Spaniards a loan of tens of millions of pounds, and the Spaniards had to fight. This was a life-saving straw for them. After paying off the interest of 200 million pounds, the loan of tens of millions of pounds could still maintain domestic expenditures. Recruit more manpower, build more warships, and at the same time, the royal family can continue to be extravagant, and then pay off the 100 million interest owed by other countries. Of course, this is not all, but all countries can get interest money, not all is better than nothing, all countries I'm also happy that they will have less than 100 million pounds left.

What is so careless? 1000 million pounds, yes, the British first deducted 200 million in interest, which the Spaniards wanted to pay back to them, and then deducted 100 million in interest on this loan and the amount that should be deducted from the loan, and The expenses for their dispatch of troops, and some of the warships sold to the Spaniards, of course, are some of the previous warships that were damaged and some old second-generation ironclad ships. In this way, what they can get is only more than 500 million pounds, but they have to pay back. 1000 million plus future interest, and the arrears of other years have to be repaid. The total amount of loans owed by the Spanish royal family to businessmen in other countries is already unclear. It is an astronomical figure when calculated. How much money do the Spaniards have to repay? How much money, even if the country's gold and silver are brought back from the colonies, the interest and a little capital will be repaid, and then the rest will be gone if it doesn't cost much.

After a few months, the Spaniards finally recovered a little vitality, mobilized the colonial fleet and produced some by themselves, bought British and French warships, and finally re-established their own local fleet, with 50 warships and six main battleships. Ten ships, more than [-] transport ships, began to attack the mainland fleet of the New China Kingdom in Morocco at the urging of the British.

They assigned twenty transport ships, a dozen main warships, and fifty auxiliary warships to attack Ribery Island in the Azores. This was the real purpose of the British.

The British sent the newly formed Irish fleet to attack the mainland of the new Qin State. The [-] warships were just diversionary, and then most of the local fleet was dispatched. About [-] main battleships and [-] auxiliary warships attacked the hero port of the Azov Islands.

At the same time, the local fleet also newly formed the Scottish fleet to assist in the attack to contain the New China Kingdom, with 160 main warships and 24 auxiliary warships. They will be wiped out, because the enemy is too powerful, and most of their main battleships are still sent to Florida. There are only 34 old and new main battleships left in the country, and 35 newly produced main battleships. The new Dingyang Prefecture is the last 28 of the 81 frigates that have been supported, [-] of the newly produced frigates that have been converted from the [-] main battleships supported by Xindingzhou, and [-] destroyers of various types.

There are also forty new main battleships, twenty frigates, eleven destroyers, and eight cruisers under construction on the berth.

Originally there were eight cruisers, and then two cruisers were experimentally started. Now there are ten cruisers in the cruiser, and this newly built cruiser will have eighteen cruisers. This is also a kind of warship against the sky. The main battleship is still against the sky, but the disadvantages are the same, the tonnage is large, and the defense is not as good as the main battleship. It is almost only stronger than the second improved version of the second-generation main battleship of the British.

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

The British are actively preparing and have been brewing for a long time. They want to remove the thorn in their side of the Azov Islands. Almost all the warships have been dispatched. About 4000 warships have taken action and rushed to various places. The main purpose is to harass. It can be regarded as eliminating a hidden danger and gaining some benefits, but their main purpose is to pull out the Azov Islands fleet of the New Qin State and seize the Azov Islands.

The Azores, the newly appointed governor of the Azores, Jin Qishun, has received the information, but he is unable to deal with such an attack at all. Since Wunan withdrew from here, he has left a large number of people loyal to him, but he has taken away some elite combat forces. To the Home Fleet to seize power.

The last time they were disabled by the New China Kingdom, after a year of replenishment, they only had a total of 120 main battleships, [-] auxiliary battleships, and [-] transport ships, which were distributed on the largest islands of the three large island groups.

The naval training here has long been overstaffed due to the long time since the founding of the country and the lack of war for many years. Due to the long-term pressure and blockade by the British, the population here is not large, the business is no longer prosperous, and there are dilapidated scenes everywhere.

The shore artillery regiments are mercenaries. They are mercenaries in defense. The Han people are no more than 20, and the people are no more than [-]. They are divided into three large islands. There are [-] foreign people and businessmen. According to the principles laid down by the founding of the new Qin State, even if the British do not fight, after a few years, there will be no Han people here.

Jin Qishun was kicked out of the ship. Although he was promoted by Song Qing, he had served under Wunan's tent after all. He was also the flagship captain of Wunan's fleet and Song Qing's flagship captain. At this time, he had been Promoted to the admiral of the Azores Navy and the acting governor of the Azores. In Wunan, they found that there were still members of the resistance faction in the central navy. Their influence prevented the capitulation faction from taking over the regime. Retirement, leaving power and other means have turned into exile in dangerous areas. For example, many people have been exiled to Xinding Yangzhou, let them fend for themselves.

Song Qing was appointed as the deputy chief of civil affairs of Xinding Yangzhou, and was expelled from the position of Minister of the Privy Council of the Navy to Xinding Yangzhou, while Zhuang Lin was exiled to Edward Island, Xindingzhou, as the deputy commander of the garrison , deputy commander, such a high position is downgraded to the position held by a lieutenant, which can be said to be political exile.

Morin retired and was exiled to the Naval Academy as the vice president. He went to educate and educate people. Most of the other cadres were exiled to low-level positions. They were all surrendered personnel, and the officers in the mercenary system were also replaced. This group of people, and the mercenary system because of the support of the British, the high-level local mercenary system has been replaced by people from these countries with the British and Spanish New Qin nationality. As for the Dutch who are loyal to the death fighters, Prussians, French, and even foreign mercenaries from other countries were all transferred to the front line to fight, and they were all consumed there.

This is the same as in the later generations. The heroes of justice in the past were all exiled. Some rogue bandits and speculators became officials. Searching for people's fat and people's cream, the culture preserved as the quintessence of China, occupies the country's cultural and literary markets, and everything is aligned with power, money, and official positions. The country has become a new aristocratic group ruled by collectives, and the British aristocrats used to be hooligans. Criminals, murderous violent people, after being cleansed, put on the airs of a gentleman to confuse people.

When Jin Qishun arrived here, Wunan and the others were not going to let him live anymore. The warships here were all warships that had not been repaired by the new Qin State, and the people who were brought here for maintenance were also the backbone of the original surrendering faction. They would not give them proper maintenance at all. Therefore, these warships look very new. That is because they have not participated in many battles, but the age is long. The few warships are new warships because they are not running well enough, and they continue to break down. In short, all difficulties are caused by the new Qin State. Abandoned here, they are selling their fathers, don’t feel bad, the canal was sold, Xindingyang was sold, Colombia was also sold, they sold Venezuela before, and Peru these Luo Zuo struggled to fight And operate overseas territories.

Jin Qishun knew that this would not work, and asked for reinforcements many times, but the new Qin State only gave them sufficient supplies, and because the British had actually ceased fighting with them, although there were frequent small battles and frictions, they did not It attracted the attention of the high-level officials of the New Qin State, mainly Wu Nan, and Xiao Nan was also transferred to Xinding Prefecture, regardless of where it was, so Jin Qishun and the others could not receive any external assistance except for supplies.
