New Ming Empire mixed in America

Regarding the fire on the supply ship, all Tsarist Russian officers maintained a unified tone, and no one cared about that issue anymore.

On the contrary, strong dissatisfaction broke out among the soldiers of the Tsarist Russian Navy, but their voices were too soft and the big shots could not hear them at all.

Seeing the small puffs of smoke that kept appearing on the Tsarist Russian warship, Song He shook his head.

The smoke was formed after the Tsarist Russian navy soldiers pulled the triggers of their portable firearms in the direction of the Songhe fleet, but it was quickly blown away by the sea breeze.

The purpose of the exercise has been achieved. I believe that after this time, the Russian fleet will leave the nearby area.

The target ship was quickly sunk in front of the Tsarist Russian fleet led by Leonid. Seeing the fierce gunfire that covered the entire battleship at that moment, Leonid felt very heavy.

Because this means that Tsarist Russia's ambitions near the west coast have been completely stopped, and their purpose of coming out this time has also failed.

"A new maritime power has emerged on the west coast..."

Although he lost a supply ship, Leonid was in a good mood. After all, all the officers now had to speak for him. With a unified voice, he would not be too harshly criticized when he returned home.

Looking at the Eastern fleet that was withdrawing from this area, he sighed.

After losing the Black Sea Fleet, Tsarist Russia's maritime strength can be said to have collapsed.

"Let's set sail, let's go to the Hawaiian Islands and wait for further orders."

After giving these instructions, Leonid returned to the captain's cabin and wrote a letter to his acquaintances in the country.

Although it has been ensured that naval officers will not hold him back in this matter, some necessary work still needs to be done.

Soon, on the originally tense sea, only two shipwrecks were left, with only their masts still exposed.

"Long live my lord, there is news from Yingtian Mansion that that guy Qian Kexun wants to visit our military academy."

Li Mingqi, who was reviewing various development plans of the Xinming Empire, raised his head when he heard this.

Liu Erhe, who came in to report the news, said angrily: "That person is Stonewall Jackson."

"Didn't you reject his request last time? Why do you want to visit this time?"

Regarding the famous southern general who was sent to Yingtian Mansion for treatment, Li Mingqi also asked the Jin Yiwei to pay more attention to his movements.

I don’t want the other party to learn any advanced knowledge from the Xinming Empire.

"Last time he talked about visiting Jinling. This time he wants to visit the Junior Military Academy in Yingtianfu."

Liu Erhe corrected what he just said, and he no longer had a good impression of the ungrateful Qiang Kexun.

"Reply him and tell him that the Military Academy is not open to the public."

After finishing speaking, Li Mingqi lowered his head again and began to review the development plan.

After putting a cross on several reports that asked white workers to extend their visas, they were picked out and put aside.

When he saw a report on Yingtianfu's water conservancy, Li Mingqi became interested.

Because it was proposed to build a dam in the desert northeast of Yingtianfu to cut off the Colorado River that originally flows into Mexico, so that it can be used to supply the needs of Yingtianfu.

After thinking carefully about this document for a long time, Li Mingqi still did not choose to agree to the plan.

It wasn't Li Mingqi's conscience who discovered that this was what the United States did in later generations. A Hoover Dam caused the rivers in Mexico to dry up.

It's just that Li Mingqi doesn't want to continue developing Yingtianfu for the time being.

Today, Yingtian Mansion is dominated by various factories and has become the industrial center of the Xinming Empire.

If development continues, the center of gravity of the Xinming Empire will shift from San Francisco and Jinling to Yingtianfu, which will be very detrimental to the development of the Xinming Empire.

Li Mingqi has no intention of developing a special zone, nor does he have such thoughts.

In his view, the place suitable for industrial development was not Yingtianfu, but San Francisco.

Yingtianfu is located on the border, which is not conducive to defense, and it is too far from Jinling, the capital of the Xinming Empire.

In addition, if domestic oil is developed in the future, Yingtianfu will definitely prosper.

Therefore, the current focus should be on the construction of San Francisco and Jinling, and towns in various places also need to distract the energy of the New Ming Empire.

If the construction of the dam in Yingtianfu is approved, it is conceivable that Yingtianfu will definitely prosper in advance, but this is not what Li Mingqi wants to see.

It has nothing to do with political factors, it is simply because the population of the Xinming Empire is small, and if Yingtianfu has more people, then other places will have fewer seams.

Why now in the Xinming Empire, even the gathering areas of thousands of people have been set up as towns?

All kinds of infrastructure and government agencies are in place, and primary and secondary schools have even been built in advance.

This is not because Li Mingqi has too much money, but because he is laying the foundation for the future.

In the future, when the number of immigrants increases, people can be directly moved into these towns with complete infrastructure.

The people will soon be able to live a normal life.

If it were built from scratch step by step, the normal life cycle of the people would continue to be extended, which would be detrimental to the development of the Xinming Empire.

This is not China. If you want to develop, you can only do it bit by bit.

Now that the wireless base stations in the Xinming Empire have been almost completed, wired telegraphy has gradually been replaced by wireless telegraphy.

Telephone lines transformed from wired telegraph lines were also laid across most of the territory of the New Ming Empire.

It can be said that every town has a telephone line and can use wireless telegraphy.

As for the laying of asphalt roads, it is a bit slow, at least much slower than railways.

"By the way, did little Joseph, who was sent to contact the Indians, get any news back?"

This time Li Mingqi asked Lu Weiming, who was in charge of Jin Yiwei.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any special news to pay attention to, but a few days ago he sent back news that the Indians are working together and seem to be launching some kind of counterattack against the Americans."

For those Indians who had constant friction with the north and south of the United States, their battles with the Americans would be reported directly to Li Mingqi at the beginning. Later, when there were too many such things, they were transferred to the Jin Yiwei.

Had it not been for the various Indian tribes preparing to join forces this time, this kind of information would not have been mentioned in front of Li Mingqi.

Li Mingqi didn't feel surprised after hearing this. After all, the hands of everyone on the four big heads completed on October 31, 1941 were stained with the blood of Indians.

It is normal for the Indians to want to take advantage of the current conflict between the North and the South to cause trouble.

"Your Majesty, the number of weapons sold to the Indians during this period has increased much more than usual, and the cannery's inventory is too much now. We can't use all of it by ourselves."

Later, Liu Youcai, who came to the meeting together, raised his concerns.

In order to speed up the transformation of Indians into Yin people, Li Mingqi used underhanded tactics.

He had ordered someone to exchange beef and cowhide for weapons.

Nowadays, the canneries built near the Indian tribes have sufficient raw materials.

In addition, the Xinming Empire conducted fair transactions and had no conflicts with the Indians.

It was also because of the construction of railways that the Indians deepened their ties with the Xinming Empire.

When the railroad was first built, the Indians were very resistant. After all, the United States' previous use of railroads to gradually encroach on Indian land had become a generally accepted secret.

But what does the Xinming Empire want the Indian land for? In the future, not to mention the land, even they themselves will have to become part of the Xinming Empire.

That is to say, there are not many people in the Xinming Empire now, otherwise these Indians would have been dispersed and moved to various towns in the Xinming Empire long ago with profit.

Li Mingqi's attitude towards the Indians was to disperse them and arrange them into the empire, without giving them any chance to join a group and cause trouble.

Because once these guys sign up for a group tour, management becomes much more difficult.

We can't follow the example of the Americans and kill all the Indians, right?

How much time and effort will it take?

Just assimilate them. Li Mingqi doesn't believe that after two or three generations, the descendants of Indians will still be walking around the streets wearing feather headdresses.

If their descendants do not speak authentic Chinese, wear Hanfu and use chopsticks, then it will be considered as Emperor Li Mingqi's dereliction of duty.

"It's okay. As long as the weapons are allowed to be exported, we can freely supply them. I don't believe they can be like those white-eyed wolves in Mexico and help the white people bite us. As for the canned food..."

Speaking of this, Li Mingqi also had a headache. If it was relatively close to the boundary of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty, it wouldn't hurt to distribute these cans to the poor compatriots for free.

But now we are too far away from the Puppet Qing Dynasty, and there are still white countries around us that Li Mingqi doesn't like to see. Even if the canned food is fed to the dogs, we can't give it to them for free.

But the canned matter has to be dealt with, otherwise looking at Liu Youcai's appearance, you will probably feel heartbroken to death.
