A week later, Zhao Dutian, who was in Xinluoyang, the capital of the Han Empire, received a detailed battle report from the front. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Dutian was not surprised by the victory of his own army, but the performance of the Russian elite grenadiers made Zhao Dutian's eyes shine, in Wang Qiming's narrative, the combat effectiveness of this Russian army is much higher than that of the more numerous American field army, no, it is no problem to beat the two American field armies!

And that's just the tip of the iceberg of the Russian Foreign Legion (the name given by the system when the Russian Grenadier Janissary was only drawn, in the Han Empire, this army was called the Russian Foreign Legion!). Because the opponent is too weak, Wang Qiming feels that the combat effectiveness of the Russian Foreign Legion has not been fully excavated!

Moreover, Paprov also saw from beginning to end with a completely relaxed attitude, and did not even give many orders for military transfers, that is, to charge in formation, and then to win......

Perfect for a wave of streaming!

No matter how many reserves the Spaniards had, they couldn't stop these strong Russian men with high bearskin caps!

After the whole battle, the casualties of the Russian Foreign Legion were not even a thousand!

Fewer than 300 people were confirmed dead!

The result was that the main Spanish army in the entire Oregon region was almost completely annihilated!

More than 20,000 Spanish prisoners of war were taken in!

Well, according to the routine of the Han Empire, most of these people will be escorted to the gold mines of Louisiana and become mining slaves for life!

The Han Empire is in charge of food!

European countries may pay attention to face and human rights, and will release prisoners of war for this and that reason after the war, but here in Zhao Dutian, unless you can afford to recruit the same number of systematic Han people, otherwise, the prisoners of war will work until they die!

The Han Empire is just short of labor!

Anyway, the Han Empire was in the initial stage of the first industrial revolution, and a large amount of productive forces were tilted towards the military industry, and the circulation of private textiles and other commodities was extremely limited, and it was impossible to sell them for trade.

The land occupied by the current Han Empire is very fertile, and the grain grown is more than enough to feed more than a million people, and this is still when most of the labor force is invested in other aspects!

North America is a huge breadbasket!

As for the textile industry, it is quite average, most of the Indians do not need to wear any clothes, and there are one or two sets that can be sewn and mended for a lifetime, and the Han Empire can be self-sufficient.

Food and clothing are two important indicators of people's livelihood, the Han Empire has been able to satisfy its own people, and the weak capitalist forces within the empire are afraid of being slaughtered as a fat sheep under the great power of Jinyiwei, where is there still a voice for foreign trade?

Even if Zhao Dutian implements the policy of closing the country to the outside world, he can still be a good and wandering emperor in the Han Empire, eating and drinking well all day long, plus popping and enjoying a small life, just like the rotten ruling class of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

Of course, not using foreign trade does not mean that Zhao Dutian does not have a sense of crisis, not to mention, grabbing land can also increase his lifespan, how could he let go of this temptation? !

Even if you want to learn from the United States of America in the previous life, you must at least unify North America first!

Zhao Dutian's goal is not to let the people below live a materially rich life, and they can use all kinds of convenient commercial products produced in foreign countries, he is just to achieve his own goals!

As for making money through trade, Zhao Dutian thought about it, but he didn't have that condition!

For one, he had not yet obtained the right to control the sea, and at the same time there were no commodities that would be of interest to the European powers.

The Qing Empire at least had tea and silk production, and what did the Han Empire have when its productivity was inclined to the military industry? Is it still possible to sell arms?

Even if someone buys it, Zhao Dutian won't sell it!

He's going to keep his inventory to expand his army!

There is a loss rate for flintlock pistols, and there are artillery, so no one can have too much!

Second, in this era, the world's profiteering industry has basically been carved up, and if you want to grab business from the European powers, you won't be able to convince them, is it possible?

If Zhao Dutian had the strength to subdue the European powers, he would not be nesting in North America......

――――

In addition to the combat effectiveness of the Russian grenadiers in the battle report, Zhao Dutian noticed that there was also not good news, the navy of the Kingdom of Spain had entered the war!

Originally, it was difficult for the navy to reach the war on land, but unfortunately, Eureka is a coastal city, and a few Spanish sail gunboats stopped in the sea, and even Paprov's Russian strong men couldn't rush over......

According to Wang Qiming's battle report, more than half of Eureka City has been occupied, but the remaining half can't be captured in any way!

Under the cover of gunboats, the morale of those Spanish routers increased dramatically, and they fought street battles with their own side in style!

Those Spanish gunboats not only brought an incomparable firepower advantage of the army artillery, but also brought a large amount of foreign aid and materials, giving the Spaniards the determination and reason to resist!

It seems that Philip V was annoyed by Zhao Dutian, he really moved seriously this time, and he didn't withdraw his troops even after doing this!

In the battle report that Wang Qiming handed in this time, he was also asking Zhao Dutian for instructions on whether to risk a huge price of casualties and occupy the entire Eureka City!

Then, Zhao Dutian gave a clear answer - no!

Eureka is just a newly established Spanish colonial city, except for some ports and coastal areas, it has been looted by its own army, and it is impossible to let its own people fill in the hole in order to destroy a group of defeated Spanish soldiers who are barely supported by gunboats!

Although Zhao Dutian does not cherish the lives of Indian soldiers, cannon fodder should also be used in places where there is a value of sacrifice, right?

It's the size of the Oregon area, and you can't afford to run out of blood in a tiny Eureka City!

The main force of the Spanish kingdom in Oregon has collapsed, and it is foreseeable that as soon as the army of the Han Empire arrives, the vast Oregon region will be full of 'doves of peace'!

Yes, Zhao Dutian brought peace, not war, to the Oregon region!

The big guys are all subordinate to the Han Empire, and there will naturally be no war in this world, hehehe......

Zhao Dutian's thoughts......

Of course, he will never say it to the outside world, at least until he dominates North America, this kind of thinking will not be revealed half a point!

Zhao Dutian waved his pen and ordered: Paprov's men and horses are watching the remnants of Eureka's main Spanish army, and Wang Qiming will march to Oregon with the mixed troops of the Self-Defense Force of the Americas and the Field Army of the Americas!
