Chapter 757: The Battleship Crisis of the Huaxia Naval Division
Zhang Qiang thought a lot, the affairs of the Dajin Kingdom, the affairs of the Great Qing Kingdom, the affairs of the rebellious Du Ge, the development of Baodao Prefecture and Qiongdao Prefecture, the development of Yunguizhou, and the war in Sishan Prefecture, as well as the Taixi people who were always making trouble around.
The most concerned is the war in Sishan Prefecture, the war in Sishan Prefecture has lasted for four to five months, Feng Wuyu's corps has taken Chengdu Mansion, Chongqing Mansion, and launched an encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Dashun army, although some remnants of the Dashun army surrendered when Wen Anzhi took refuge, but most of the people were still used to being the emperor of the soil and refused to surrender, but got together with He Tengjiao.
At present, Feng Wuyu's Second Corps is attacking He Tengjiao's forces, and Shang Kexi's forces are relatively scattered and cunning, and they refuse to come out of the deep mountains, so it is simply a painful thing to encircle and suppress them in the 100,000 mountains of Sishan Prefecture.
But fortunately, the road to contact them with the Qing army was cut off, and a blockade was nearly a thousand miles, don't look at the straight-line distance of only three hundred miles, but you have to consider that this is Sishan Prefecture, a place surrounded by mountains, and a straight-line distance of ten kilometers in the mountains is equal to the distance of forty or fifty miles on the plain, and some even have to make a detour of hundreds of miles to pass, stuck some important roads, stuck waterways, you go around me, don't go around you for thousands of miles, can you get from Sishan Prefecture close to Yunnan Guizhou to Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture?
Unless you know how to fly.
The militia elite brigade of the Second Corps cooperated with the newly established field account book militia to properly block some mountain passes that could pass through the large army, garrison troops were stationed at important checkpoints, field troops of the Second Corps were stationed in some strategic cities, and more field brigade soldiers were searching and chasing them everywhere.
When he was churning over the information just now, He Tengjiao was still resisting stubbornly, the remnants of the Dashun Army were still fighting guerrillas, and the enemy's strength was not small, they were all some adult old thieves, old but not declining, one was better than the other, and one was a regular army soldier with four field brigades, mainly because the current regular army soldiers could not adapt to their mountain warfare and guerrilla warfare tactics, which was more difficult than the Oolong Mountain Bandit Suppression Story played in later movies to eliminate those bandits, and the number of those bandits was not much, at most one or two hundred, There are dozens of people less, and He Tengjiao has a thousand people in a random general, and the total strength is still 10,000 people, and there are people who have supported them for many years.
It is not difficult to destroy their regular camps, but the difficult thing is to find their main force for a decisive battle, but they will not give you a chance, the Huaxia Army can only use its strong forces to fill the land that Sishan Prefecture has lost over the years through immigration, and turn the people of Sishan Prefecture into the northeasterners of later generations, which is a bit funny.
In fact, these can be solved with time and patience, and the things that cannot be solved are that they cannot be caught or seen, especially the Qing army of Shang Kexi, who are more cunning and more adapted to the terrain, and they even wander to Yunnan Prefecture to attack the garrisons, militias and civilians there.
Although the Huaxia Kingdom has lifted the distinction restrictions on the green, yellow, and red zones, there are still core and non-core areas, as well as war zones.
For example, Guangxi Prefecture is designated as the core area, Yunnan Prefecture is designated as a non-core area, Yunnan Guizhou is also a non-core area, and Sishan Prefecture, the three states divided by small countries in Southeast Asia are war zones.
The non-core area means that the ethnic integration of the Chinese Kingdom has not reached the qualified place, or support, close to the combat area, and there is still a place where resistance is possible.
Unified writing, unified currency, unified patriotic thought, long-term indoctrination, the idea of great unification, this is the secret of China's long-term enduring existence, as for people's uprisings, as long as a patriotic thought, then it's okay, after all, you are too strict, people are not obedient and grateful, but want to resist, Zhang Qiang followed this line of thought and slowly expanded his core area little by little with quantitative indicators, if you don't engage in the core area, don't let people know that they are the people who belong to the Chinese Kingdom, let them engage in what differentiation, nationalization, and how to integrate, How else to build my Greater China?
Just when Zhang Qiang's thoughts were flying, the members of Zhou Congee's cabinet and Wei Wuji, who negotiated with Zheng Keshuang and their team, finally reached an agreement, and today's agreement will not be used for future generations of companies, national trade, and it will take months, even years, more than ten years of negotiations, tearing each other's skins, throwing the faces of civilized people on the ground, and fighting for a little interest. Some can even be solved in half an hour, because the distance is long, I can't go back and forth, and try to solve the things that can be solved.
Zhou Congee reported to Zhang Qiang: "Your Majesty, after our deliberations, the final decision has been made.
Our 1,350-ton warships are 350,000 Huaxia Yuan each, Zheng Chenggong They buy 10 warships, about 1,000 tons of standard ships, 310,000 Huaxia Yuan each, they are ready to buy 15 warships, 860 tons of warships, 290,000 yuan each, they are ready to buy 28 warships, 600 tons of warships, 240,000 ships, they buy 38 ships, 300 tons of warships, 180,000 ships, they are ready to buy 56 warships, 180 tons of warships, 110,000 ships, they want to buy 70 ships, They bought 120 of 80,000 and 90-ton river warships, 60,000 of transport ships, and 50,000 of them.
At the same time, they also wanted to buy 200 Daming Fu ships in China, totaling 20 ships of 1,000 tons, each with 30,000 Huaxia yuan, 960 tons of Dafu ships, 36 ships, 28,000 yuan each, 600 tons, 25,000 yuan each, 680 tons, 80 ships, 23,000 yuan each, and 4 500-ton Dafu ships, priced at 20,000 yuan.
In addition, they purchased 50 500-ton canton boats at a price of 18,000 yuan each, and some other small boats of 200 small boats with different prices, with a total price of 2 million Chinese yuan. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Qiang was startled, what is this for?
After buying so many warships, five hundred and seventeen warships, most of the fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom will go, not to mention that there are fifty Guang ships, do they really need so many ships?
In the past few years, because of the need to engage in development and economy, the shipyards of the Huaxia Army have turned to build Dafu ships and Guangzhou ships, these merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that Zhang Qiang does not want to get new ships, but the rapid development of the Huaxia Army and Navy Division in the past ten years, and now it has 4,000 large and small warships, 2,200 warships of more than 600 tons, and 2,500 warships of less than 600 tons. If the speed of the ship is not more than two knots, it will basically fight for consumption, and it can also fight to the death of two European maritime powers.
With such strength, in the Far East and Asia, it is the existence of kings and hegemons, and no one dares to provoke them, even in Europe, several maritime powers do not dare to provoke them at will.
Some time ago, because of the garrison of Lu State, he supported nearly 80 warships of less than 600 tons in Lu State, and later Lu State purchased nearly 80 1,000-ton warships from the Huaxia Kingdom, as well as 200 warships of 300 tons and below, and the total strength of 4,700 ships has decreased a little, less than 360 ships, and Lu itself has nearly 1,800 ships of different sizes that are not as good as those built by the Huaxia Kingdom.
However, in terms of firepower, speed, tonnage, and navigation methods, and combat methods, they were all at least twenty years behind the Huaxia Army, which was a little higher than the Ming Kingdom before the destruction, but a generation worse than the Huaxia Army.
Due to the battle with the Huaxia Army, due to the effect of time, these ships aged, lost, and nearly 1,000 ships were lost in the battle, and only 800 remained, plus the ships purchased from the Huaxia Army, there were still more than 1,000.
In the battle against the Japanese, with the support of the Qing Dynasty and the support of the Taixi, even if they had the advantage, they lost nearly 50 ships, and still had a huge fleet of more than 1,000 ships.
But when Hong Chengchou was alive, because he bought the old ships of the Huaxia Army, he deeply felt that the strength of his kingdom's sailors was too poor and wanted to be replaced, so nearly 400 ships converted from Dafu ships were sold to merchants of Lu State, merchants of the Qing Dynasty, and Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong kept some good ones for his own use, and sold the poor ones to Han merchants in Nanyang.
In this way, their fleet finally fell by a thousand, there were about 600 ships, and more than 100 were changed to the caravan of the Lu Kingdom that traded with the Huaxia Kingdom, so that the total strength of the Lu State Naval Division still retained more than 500 warships.
Later, the three princes, coupled with Feng Quan's split, made more than 500 ships divided, and lost more than 100 ships in the war with each other, and finally the three princes relied on their own precautions to gain 120 ships, and the others only obtained dozens of ships.
Later, because Feng Quan took refuge in Zhang Qiang and became the administrator of Kyushu Island in Japan and the prefect of the Xinlu Prefecture Autonomous Territory of the Chinese Kingdom, Zhang Qiang allocated nearly 600 small boats of less than 300 tons from the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison Fleet for them to guard the shore and fishermen to fish. When the battle with Japan entered the white heat, and the fortifications were built on Kyushu Island in Xinlu Province, Zhang Qiang allocated nearly 100 large and small ships from the Yangtze River Naval Fleet to him, or sold them to the second prince, so the entire Yangtze River Naval Division Fleet actually had not many ships left, only more than 200 ships.
Used to patrol and arrest enemy ships on the Yangtze River, or to deal with the invasion of enemy warships on the Yangtze River estuary, because there are still naval division warships of the First Fleet with a tonnage higher than the warships they retained, the Yangtze River Naval Division Fleet is equivalent to a public security fleet, and it has withdrawn from the ranks of the Chinese Army Naval Division.
The 450 warships and warships in their naval division are gone, which means that there are 450 warships and warships in the Huaxia naval division.
The 4,700 warships and warships were 710 warships, and the total number of warships of the Huaxia Army and Naval Division fell by more than 3,900 ships.
The last time Zheng Keshuang came, he took away 200 large and small warships, and more than a dozen warships, so now the Huaxia Army only has 3,680 warships and warships.
However, since the Huaxia Army has at least 200 warships and warships that are not able to play its own role in defending the maintenance and non-combat damage, the Huaxia Army currently has only 3,4560 warships and warships.
If Zheng Chenggong gets rid of more than 500 warships and warships this time, then what ability does the Huaxia Army have to defend the Huaxia Army's current 2,400-kilometer-long coastline and nearly 10,000 nautical miles of sea area?
What's more, they also had to take away 250 cargo transport ships belonging to the sailors, which caused a supply and defense crisis for the sailors of the Huaxia Kingdom.
