New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Yes, you can pay with your minerals. As long as it is mortgaged to the Xinming Empire, the weapons will be shipped to you."

Li Mingqi was not surprised that all Mexico could offer was mineral resources.

The minerals belong to the Xinming Empire. Even if they are left there and not mined, the descendants will be defeated for a few more years.

"And among the weapons provided to you, there will be more Napoleon twelve-pounders and other large-caliber artillery."

Li Mingqi knew very well what Mexico needed now. They had no shortage of people, but they lacked artillery that could compete with the three armies, so he was in a hurry.

"That's great. When I go back, I will explain your goodwill to Mr. Tongqian, and Mexico will always be a friendly neighbor of the Xinming Empire."

The Mexican envoy felt relieved. He came this time with the idea that it would be best for the Easterners to send troops. If he could not send troops, he would also need to obtain support from other aspects.

Now he can finally do business with the country. Although I don't know what happened to the Eastern emperor suddenly, this is good news for Mexico.

As for friendly neighbors... wait until Mexico has overcome this crisis and developed for a period of time.

Mexico will regain the land it lost, including the Baja California Peninsula.

After handling these diplomatic matters, Li Mingqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed slowly in the battleship design bureau where Li Mingqi was stationed.

On September 23, Mr. Lin still issued the Emancipation Proclamation that some people boasted about, but in fact it was useless.

Please note that this is not at all the same as the abolition of slavery that some lickers talk about.

And a hundred years after this fart-like declaration, black people are still suffering from intensified segregation, racial persecution, and racial discrimination...

You can say that this declaration is a military measure, but please do not use this declaration to label some people as saints.

Because Chinese people with the same skin as you did not enjoy what you blew in your mouth back then.

(Some people criticize me and I say so, because it is the truth!)

As soon as this declaration came out, Lin gained huge support from African American groups.

Even the African-American employees in some places in the Xinming Empire began to make noises, but under the solemn feet, whips, and gallows of the Ming Xiejun, these people resumed their work with peace of mind.

In September, far away in Europe, Prussia also made a personnel appointment that was not worth mentioning at this time.

That is, with the support of William I, Bismarck became the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Prussia.

And this also explains that Prussia has entered a countdown to unification.

In early November, a Tsarist Russian immigration ship appeared for the first time off the coast of the New Ming Empire.

When Song He, with four armored warships as the main force and a fleet of more than a hundred armored gunboats, wanted to escort these immigrant ships, he was simply stunned by this huge immigrant fleet.

"Commander Song, this fleet must have at least 400 large and small sailing ships..."

Standing on the deck of the flagship 'Reserved King', Adjutant Cheng Yuanliang put down his telescope and sighed to Song He.

As Cheng Yuanliang said, there are more than 400 sailing ships of all kinds on the distant sea.

The national flags hoisted on these ships were all different, and what caught Song He's attention the most was that there were more than 30 ships in the fleet flying flags composed of Chinese characters.

"It seems that these ships were forced over by the warships of Tsarist Russia."

Song He also followed up and said that in this era, it takes more than two months to travel from Guangzhou to San Francisco.

This means that when the shipbuilding workers were originally transported, Tsarist Russia had already planned to transport Chinese immigrants to the New Ming Empire to make money.

At that time, the policy of the Xinming Empire was that after the immigrants arrived, all the consumption on the ship would be paid for by the Xinming Empire. Therefore, there was an endless stream of merchant ships transporting immigrants to the Xinming Empire.

But the generosity of dispatching more than 400 ships at once still left people like Song He stunned. Gu

"Sound the whistle to signal the fleet!"

After Song He gave a direct instruction, he ordered his fleet to approach the immigration fleet.

After seeing this fleet crisscrossing the west coast of America, the four Tsarist Russian warships following the fleet also displayed their flags to identify themselves.

"I didn't expect to see so many warships on the west coast. Isn't this size comparable to a domestic squadron?"

On the Tsarist Russian warship, a bearded Tsarist Russian captain put away his monocular and finally marveled.

"Yes, if that Oriental country in the Far East could have so many warships, Britain and France would not dare to directly land and attack that decadent empire."

The first mate was also shocked by the Xinming Empire's fleet, shook his head and continued:

"I finally understand why these Easterners are not afraid of the threat of Dai Ying sending troops. With these warships guarding here, if Dai Ying wants to attack from the sea, he will have to dispatch at least two squadrons."

But his words aroused different opinions from the captain:

"This fleet only has four armored warships that can serve as the main battleships. I don't think the remaining gunboats can withstand the attack of the British warships, even the armored gunboats!"

The first mate opened his mouth but ultimately did not say anything to refute.

He knew that the captain looked down upon Orientals, but he didn't expect that he would go so far as to tell lies.

Take a look at the two naval guns with long barrels on those armored gunships. From their appearance, you can tell that these guns are definitely not easy to mess with.

One or two are no match for a battleship, but what about eight out of ten?

How many second- and third-level battleships can a British squadron have?

Six or seven ships would be enough to reach the sky, and the rest would be fourth- and fifth-level battleships to make up the number.

But judging from the guns on these Eastern gunboats, those fourth- and fifth-level warships may not necessarily be the opponents of these gunboats.

But it would be unwise to directly refute your boss's words, and the number of warships in the squadron is not fixed now.

What if the squadron sent to the west coast by the British brainiacs has more than twenty battleships?

Although the captain expressed his disdain for the Xinming Empire's fleet, he was still very honest physically.

Not only did he order the warships to close their gun windows, he also took the initiative to reduce the ship's speed so that the warships of the New Ming Empire could take over the escort work.

And when the sailors rushed onto the deck to watch the armored battleships of the Xinming Empire, he did not stop them.

Although this fleet is worthless in his words, it is still very powerful in the Pacific.

If Daiying's Pacific Fleet deployed in the Far East at this time faced off against the Xinming Empire's fleet, Song He was confident that he would defeat the opponent within one day and send all those warships to the bottom of the sea in the next few days.

But it is a pity that the British merchant ships traveling to and from the Far East do not pass through the west coast, otherwise Song He would definitely let those guys who are lying on China's body to suck blood have a taste of the power of the new naval guns.

This immigrant fleet was also startled when they saw the Xinming Empire fleet flying the Sanchen flag.

However, when they discovered that this fleet had only taken over the escort work of Tsarist Russian warships, they felt relieved again.

These merchant ships were all forcibly requisitioned by Tsarist Russia in the Far East. Although the other party gave some meager compensation, to be honest, these merchant ships lost money when they went to sea this time.

But between life and wealth, these ship owners have chosen the former, and now that Tsarist Russia has failed to compete for the Black Sea outlet, it has put its focus on the Far East.

If they want to do business in the Far East in the future, these ship owners will not dare to offend Tsarist Russia at this period.

"Brother Zhang, do you think the soldiers on those armored ships are from the Qing Dynasty?"

On a sailing ship flying a flag, Xiao Hai put down the telescope he had raised since the Xinming Empire fleet appeared just now, and exclaimed in surprise at the ship Zhang Yong who was comforting the immigrants on the deck.

Hearing Xiao Hai's shout, Zhang Yong also ran to the side of the ship, raised his telescope, and looked in the direction of Xiao Hai's finger.
