New Ming Empire mixed in America

After entering 1863, the situation of the Confederacy was not very good, because at this time a large number of black slaves began to escape.

And the Northern Federation also had the idea of ​​forming a black regiment.

And they have indeed formed a black regiment called the 54th Infantry Regiment.

It was a movie prototype that was later moved into movie theaters and touted in order to show the political correctness of the United States.

And this infantry regiment did not perform unexpectedly. The first battle was the sacking of Darien.

But for some reason, this atrocity of burning, killing, looting and sleeping in vain was beautified, saying that it was ordered by a colonel named Montgomery. (Some words cannot be typed out)

Let's not talk about why a colonel who commands his own army and has no affiliation can command another colonel.

Why did Shan Shan, a compassionate colonel of the black regiment, choose not to refuse but to obey? (Check carefully)

Of course, those black soldiers also had "tears" (in the corners of their mouths) and "unwillingness" written on their faces (in their hearts...), and started a series of actions such as killing, robbing, setting fires, sleeping in vain... (this was what they were told)

Forced?).

I believe that looting towns that supported the South at that time was one of the important measures taken by the Northern Army to cut off the Southern Army's supply lines.

In order to replenish military supplies, it is normal to choose to loot Darien.

And in the minds of the Northern Union soldiers at that time, supporting the Confederacy meant supporting slavery, so these black soldiers carried out retaliatory actions.

As for why it needs to be beautified...because now 'Black Lives Matter'.

So the white girl in the movie will forgive the black soldier who killed her relatives, burned her property and slept with her for nothing. (I would like to call this kind of person a saint)

(The reason why the United States is washing out is because of political correctness, and some Chinese people are following suit. I really don’t know what you think?)

The Confederacy was beginning to have a difficult time. Although the Homestead Law was dealt a blow by the declaration of the New Ming Empire, many white people still chose to head west to obtain their own land.

Their approach resulted in a large number of crown coins from the Xin Ming Empire being sent to bounty hunters and the Ming Alliance Army.

He also succeeded in getting Liu Youcai to find Li Mingqi and complain about the lack of people at the construction site, the lack of people in the factory, and the lack of volunteers in the medical laboratory.

So Li Mingqi also made appropriate concessions and added a new reward for being captured alive and posted it.

For a time, the number of people in the white slums in San Francisco's port area dropped sharply, and a large number of red-eyed bounty hunters appeared in the western lands.

Time came to the end of February. After such a long time, and with the efforts of thousands of Tsarist Russian shipbuilders, the new warships of the New Ming Empire finally sailed out of the dock and began their first trial voyage.

On this day, Li Mingqi also appeared at the maiden voyage ceremony of the new warship.

Song He was already grinning from ear to ear with joy at this time. He was more interested in the new battleship than anyone else.

Looking at the army's glorious victories again and again, his navy has not experienced a decent naval battle so far.

After the victory over the Peruvian Navy was belittled as worthless by Sun Laifu, Song He worked hard to find an opportunity to prove that the Navy was not a freeloader.

Now he finally had a chance. The launch of new warships and the news that the British fleet was about to attack made Song He cheer up.

Although it will take at least three months for the squadron to arrive, this just gives Song He time to lead the navy to run in the new warships.

Moreover, only two of the six new warships have been completed at this time, and the remaining ones still need to go through more than a month of outfitting construction.

Li Mingqi and the imperial ministers had been waiting at the trial point early, but they could only see smoke coming from the battleship but had no intention of starting.

Liu Erhe was the first to become unable to sit still and asked: "Long live my lord, this new warship is a bit fancy but useless. The preparation time is longer than that of the old warship. Did those white engineers cut corners?"

Li Mingqi glared at this unlearned guy and said: "What cutting corners? This is because it is the maiden voyage, so we have to wait until the boiler is completely ready before we can start going to sea."

Although Liu Erhe was scolded, he still did not let go of his curiosity and continued:

"That won't work either. At this time, the old warships have been sailing for half a day. It would be a waste of time to burn the boilers..."

Although Li Mingqi was confused, he still explained to him: "Old warships mainly rely on sails, and the boilers can be heated slowly while driving."

Stamping the deck covered with steel plates under his feet, Li Mingqi continued:

"Although the new warship has not abandoned its sails, it has become a backup means of navigation. This is my request to let the boiler be fully boiled before starting the trial. What, do you have any objections?"

Liu Erhe didn't dare to have any objections, so he could only change the subject and asked: "How long does it usually take to boil the boiler?"

"More than an hour. This is because our boilers are relatively advanced. It will take even longer if we switch to the Warrior and Black Prince currently in service."

Li Mingqi patiently gave Liu Erhe a brief introduction to the current status of the latest warships in the world.

Regardless of the fact that the battleships deployed by the British in Victoria Freeport are pure sail battleships.

But by 1860, British warships were already commonly using hybrid power.

At that time, there were 222 sail cruisers alone, 128 of which had auxiliary steam power, not counting battleships.

When the Warrior was launched in 1861, it was already the most advanced ironclad ship in the world. However, due to the high construction price, only two Warrior-class ships were built at that time.

Later, two defense-class ironclads were built that were modified from the Warrior-class, but their combat effectiveness was only one-quarter of that of the Warrior-class, but their cost was two-thirds of that of the Warrior-class.

However, after Nassan made a high-profile announcement to build 30 ocean-going ironclads, and started construction of as many as 10 Provence-class broadside ironclads in 1861, Daiying also followed up the ironclad construction plan.

Since 1861, the construction of all wooden sailing warships in the UK has been cancelled. The ships under construction will also be converted into ironclads. In addition, it was decided to add two defense-class improved models and another four large ironclads. (It is not popular, but

Because even if I say it, no one will pay attention (┯_┯))

Therefore, during this period, a lot of ironclad ships from Nasan and Daiying have been launched.

But now the title of the most powerful battleship in the world belongs to the Xin Ming Empire after the Xin Ming Empire's new battleship was launched.

Now even Li Mingqi is beginning to look forward to bringing Ying's main battleship to the West Sea in the future, and the Best Warrior will also follow.

By then, as long as the Warrior is sunk, Daiying will truly begin to face up to the strength of the Xinming Empire.

On the sea now, it's up to the Tsarist Russia to lead the British and take three, but in the future Li Mingqi will let the world know that the New Ming Empire is also one of the maritime hegemons.

And now the free shipyards have begun to build new ironclads.

However, what was built this time was not the transitional warship that it is now.

According to Li Mingqi's requirements, this new type of warship needs to change the efficiency of the boiler. It uses a hybrid power of heavy oil and coal. Otherwise, it would be too slow to rely on coal alone to heat the boiler.

And now the Xinming Empire does not have a stable supply of high-quality coal, so relying solely on coal, it will be difficult for the Xinming Empire to overpower the other side in the future ironclad military competition.

Finally, while everyone was waiting anxiously, the new warship finally sounded the whistle that signaled its departure.

Two new warships began their maiden voyage escorted by four armored warships.

Unlike the armored battleships modified from sailing battleships, the navy on the new battleships does not have a large number of side guns.

Therefore, the number of soldiers was controlled within 500, most of whom were secondary artillery shooters and auxiliary personnel.

There is also a Marine Corps of one hundred people, who will be responsible for the safety of the warship when it docks and other tasks.

The launch of new warships means that armored gunboats have been completely reduced to offshore frigates.

The main force was also transferred from the four armored battleships to the new battleships, plus some auxiliary ships converted from large merchant ships to form the new royal fleet of the Xinming Empire.

Auxiliary ships include communication ships, supply ships, troop carriers, etc.

So from now on, Li Mingqi has set his sights from the west coast to the entire world.

The first one to bear the brunt is the Pacific Ocean, which Li Mingqi has regarded as his own back garden.

As for the British Far East Fleet and Tsarist Russia’s Far East seaport construction plan...

Li Mingqi said that our Xinming Empire now wants to collect some protection fees in the Pacific!

PS: I’ll be free tomorrow, so I’ll try to add more updates tomorrow to compensate for the strain of the updates in the past few days.
