February 1, 1799

The parliamentary elections of the Kingdom of Normanyad have come to an end.

The more than 200 seats in the House of Lords, which are held by hereditary nobles, have not changed much, but the House of Commons has ushered in a major reshuffle, with less than one-fifth re-elected.

The reorganization of Whitehall, with the Duke of the Northwest as Chief Minister, the Foreign Secretary retained, and the Minister of the Sea, the Minister of Commerce and Industry, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Civil Service all replaced.

In addition, the Duke of Wellington was granted a royal pardon to become Secretary of State for Education, and the Red Lady became the culprit of the Great Famine.

The new Congress passed the Battleship Support Act as quickly as possible, and the Steam Warship Project continued.

At the same time, the barbarians reappeared outside the fortress Great Wall after decades, and the Duke of the Northwest advocated the start of a recovery operation against the Equilibrium City, which made many people who knew the inside story drop their jaws.

Late that night, the Combined Fleet arrived in the New World to officially carry out the exploration mission.

……

Formerly Port Wellington.

After the withdrawal of the Old World army, a large indigenous tribe took over the area, and it was they who exerted great external pressure on the area in the first place.

Predicting that the Port of Wellington would be the rear of the Combined Fleet, dozens of warships immediately began a full-scale bombardment of the city, and the flames once again swept through the devastated city.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers and employees landed one after another, and the sound of the new smoothbore guns disturbed the tranquility of the night, and the right guard group composed of the Prince of Victory, the Deep Sea Silence, and the Silver Jewel launched a surprise attack on the right wall of the city.

On the beach filled with gunpowder, Jiang Yuan and a strong man walked forward slowly, three silver-blooded and 500 employees stayed behind, and the real number of soldiers in the right alert group was only 1,000 from the headquarters and 1,500 from the merchant alliance troop carrier.

However, the generation gap in weapons is very significant on the battlefield, and white powder bullets wantonly harvest the lives of natives.

At this moment, Mi Yi is commanding the battle under the escort of the secret spy, the troops are reduced to zero, and they are successively robbing the key buildings in the right area of the city, there is no suspense in the whole war, the big chief of the tribe is only silver, and the guardian knight and the first formation leader are gold-level powerhouses who have mastered the power of attributes.

"Mr. Director, during the mission, the deputy formation ordered our department to respond to you and others, but it does not mean that next time a girl can stand on the head of the soldiers."

Next to someone, a burly strong man spoke solemnly, he was a Marine Corps Commander, with the rank of colonel, and the strength of the knight's peak made him not too grovel in the face of silver.

"You're too close to me."

The strong man looked puzzled, but instinctively felt that something was wrong, but unfortunately, Jiang Yuan burst out in an instant, and without unfolding the armor, the Thorn Holy Sword was already so fast that it seemed to disappear in the material realm, as the tip of the sword pierced into the eye socket, cold-blooded poison was injected, and the transformation of blood descent began.

A few minutes later, the strong colonel's face sank like water.

"Go ahead and follow Mie Reinhert's command."

Be. ”

Jiang Yuan put away the Thorn Holy Sword, and the surrounding mist dissipated due to the flash of the secret treasure, and the complete incorporation of these 1,500 people was a great addition to the troops.

The war broke out, this indigenous tribe because of the stable gathering place, attracted a large number of floating population, a few months later, the scale expanded to 50,000 people, has initially had the prototype of the primitive city-state, if there is no extraordinary power, the tribe's great chief may not have the opportunity to climb the heights, but now everything is empty.

The battle continued until dawn, when the remaining personnel began to transport supplies downward, auditors and military officers counted casualties, and more than 30,000 indigenous captives were uniformly escorted to the city's public square, including men, women and children, but young and middle-aged were relatively rare.

"Half-dead to raise first, and when I go back, I sell it to the factory owners."

In just a moment, the formation leader decided the fate of these brown-skinned natives, excluding the cost, these captives can bring a profit of close to 100,000 gold coins, that is, the fleet can only have such a scale of benefits, if it were not for the soldiers' salaries, weapons and materials, ship repairs and other factors, the benefits would be even more.

"My lord, we are willing to buy these slaves for 90,000 gold coins and sell them to the major plantations along the coast."

The leader of the Free Business Alliance leaned over and said that his body was rather bloated, and that the mere short stretch from the tidal flat to the square covered his forehead with beads of sweat.

"Yes, but don't expect us to escort them one by one." The formation commander waved his hand.

Next to him, the chairman was a little dissatisfied, although he also tended to sell to Shangmeng, but the other party's behavior of not asking for his opinion was undoubtedly an offense.

The leader of the merchant alliance ordered the guards to bring in nine large chests, which were filled with golden coins, and given the increasing volume of trade, the gold coins of the empire and kingdom hairstyles were similar.

"Since both sides have second-class battleships, let's divide them into five or five." The Guardian Knight spoke.

The formation leader hesitated for a while, and in view of the cooperation in the next half year, he pinched his nose and agreed to this distribution.

"It's an honor." The chairman was mildly flattering.

Forty-five thousand gold coins were recorded in the account, and according to the shares, he took away 17,000 gold coins, and someone's 10,000 gold coins were removed by a few hundred fractions, and the rest naturally belonged to the guardian knight who really represented the duke, after all, the small shareholders did not know last night's harvest.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan had already ridden out of the city, and William was in charge of the construction of the camp in the city, and he was going to see his pioneer barony.

The horses galloped until the sun had completely risen, and the procession of dozens of men reached a stretch of shore.

The central and northern sides are rugged and towering sea cliffs, and only two-thirds of the land outside the tidal flats is the total area.

"Let's build a small fortress in the south, Reincht only needs a stable landing place, and the plantation area does not have to be too large." Mi Yi looked at the terrain and said that crops such as tobacco, tea, cocoa, and coffee could barely be planted around, and it was a good idea to see that it was good.

"How long did it take?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Mi Yi estimated that because of a certain guy, she had some experience of "working hard and losing money".

"Two months to complete the framework, exhausting 3,000 to 5,000 natives, a total of 12,000 people, there will be frequent rebellions and riots, you have to leave three or five hundred soldiers, as well as the corresponding backbone bloodline, food materials and other co-ordination to wait for further data."

"I'll leave it to you." Jiang Yuan directly shook his hand and stopped paying attention.

"Understood." Mi Yi nodded, as a vice-monarch, she was used to the miserable life of being an exclusive cow and horse.

When the team returned to Port City, it was already morning, and the marching headquarters of the East Asia Trading Company was chosen in the original opera house, and the rest of the company was either not in condition or badly damaged.

Walking into the second floor of the opera house, the tables and chairs were removed to create a makeshift hall where the fleet had to stabilize the rear before setting off for the Coalition.
