New Ming Empire mixed in America

In the end, the crumbling prototype was towed back for repairs.

The Vehicle Research Institute was the last factory that Li Mingqi inspected.

During this period, Li Mingqi roughly visited all the factories in the Xinming Empire that could be related to the military.

Li Mingqi stayed at the steel plant alone for three days. It can no longer be called a steel plant, it should be called a steel industrial park.

After a quick inspection, Li Mingqi finally had a general understanding of the current industrial strength of the Xinming Empire.

Now that matters within the empire have almost been settled, Li Mingqi began to prepare to deal with the immigration issue.

After returning to the palace, Li Mingqi called Liu Erhe and asked, "How many days will it take for Chen Hong to come back?"

Liu Erhe thought for a while and replied: "It will be there in two or three days. The last time I sent a telegram, they were almost at Yingtian Mansion."

Chen Hong was called back by Li Mingqi. After training in Chile for so long, Li Mingqi believed that he had enough ability to handle diplomatic matters.

But this time he had something else to do with calling Chen Hong back, and Li Mingqi was going to send him to the Puppet Qing Dynasty.

Regarding the concession area, the Puppet Qing Dynasty agreed, but the Xinming Empire did not.

So the purpose of Li Mingqi letting Chen Hong go back was to tell the three countries to get out of here.

After that, Li Mingqi will march into the Pacific Ocean. The Xinming Empire should have a share of the sea.

When Zheng He sailed to the West, the Pacific Ocean had been the sphere of influence of the Xin Ming Empire since ancient times.

My Xinming Empire has a clear name in it. It is not too much to say that I am Chinese orthodox, right?

As for the Puppet Qing Dynasty? Sorry, the history of the Xinming Empire did not regard the Puppet Qing Dynasty as a country that succeeded China.

It's like a thief who took advantage of his master's illness to live in China. Why, he only lived there for two days and then he became his master?

Li Mingqi just nodded after listening to Liu Erhe's report when he heard the other party ask coquettishly:

"Long live my lord, I heard that the airship base has become independent from the Royal Academy... Do you think you should consider the Imperial Guard..."

Regarding Liu Erhe's petty thoughts, Li Mingqi could only say that he was thinking nonsense.

"I plan to build a new branch of arms based on the airship base, called the Air Force, so..."

Li Mingqi didn't finish speaking, but Liu Erhe already knew the answer.

If we set up a separate military branch, the scale in the future must not be small.

Originally, Liu Erhe had planned to wait for the airship to enter the system of the Imperial Guard, and then have fun there under the guise of training the airship troops, but now it seems that it has been ruined.

"The minister has resigned..." Liu Erhe asked dejectedly.

"Go away, put away those little tricks of yours, and don't go to the airship to play tricks. If something happens, Lao Liu will be heartbroken."

Li Mingqi called out to Liu Erhe, and snarled: "When will your old Liu family have a heir? Let alone an airship, I don't care even if you want to ride on old Li's manned artillery!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal Liu Erhe to get out.

After working for a few hours and processing various documents submitted by the ministers, Li Mingqi stretched himself and prepared to go back to rest.

During this period, both the British expeditionary fleet and the Mexican government-in-exile were leading the expedition, which kept Li Mingqi's spirit under tension.

Now that the Xinming Empire has been inactive for two months, and the internal cleaning of Jinyiwei has also stopped, it is time to have a good sleep so that people can build a fish pond and fish tomorrow.

But God didn't seem to want him to be idle. I saw Liu Erhe running into the study in a hurry, shouting: "Long live the Lord, our immigration route has been cut off!"

When Li Mingqi heard that it was about the immigration route, he quickly asked: "What happened?"

Liu Erhe handed a piece of information that was still stained with blood to Li Mingqi and said: "Just now, a brother of the Lightning Regiment was sent back by an ocean-going merchant ship. This information is what he said."

Looking at the blood stains on the intelligence, Li Mingqi asked again: "How are they doing?"

Upon hearing Li Mingqi ask this, Liu Erhe's face showed sadness and said: "Already...already gone..."

"Twelve knives, long live my lord, a total of twelve knives. The wounds were soaked. The sailors on the merchant ship said that when they rescued the man, he was almost out of breath. Unexpectedly, he was holding in his breath and unwilling to swallow.

Go down."

"After handing this information to Jin Yiwei, he died. I heard that he floated on a wooden board at sea for two days before being rescued by a merchant ship..."

Li Mingqi's hand holding the information tightened unconsciously.

"Gravely buried, enter the Martyrs' Shrine!"

After finishing speaking, Li Mingqi began to read the information.

The more he looked at him, the darker his face became, and finally he slapped the table hard.

"What a Daiying, what a native Hawaiian, you are looking for death!"

Intelligence shows that two months ago, six British warships suddenly appeared in the Hawaiian Islands.

After investigation, it was discovered that these warships were the ones that disappeared during the naval battle, along with more than thirty troop transports and supply ships.

Originally, this information should have been sent out long ago, but the port has been blocked by British warships.

Half a month later, a merchant ship appeared in Hawaii carrying the Queen's envoy.

Then Hawaii banned all Chinese from trading on Hawaiian soil and killed all the original Chinese workers on the island.

A few days later, the King of Hawaii ordered the cleanup of the Chinese businessmen stranded on the island.

The property of all Chinese businessmen was confiscated on the grounds that they had not left the country before the expiration date, and then they were imprisoned.

After some time, the immigration fleet of the Xinming Empire came into the port to supply supplies.

However, the King of Hawaii ordered them to be detained, confiscated all the immigrant ships, and sent all the immigrants to desert islands to fend for themselves.

In the end, not one of the six thousand people could survive.

The remaining members of the Lightning Troops and the Umbrella Youth on Hawaii Island were imprisoned together for hosting Chinese businessmen.

However, because they are white, they have not been abused for the time being.

At this time, Liu Erhe also told what happened to the member of the Lightning Group who delivered the message. He was injured when he forced his way out of the blocked port, and was later rescued by a passing ocean-going merchant ship and sent to the port of San Francisco.

"Put this merchant ship on the import and export tax-free list."

After Li Mingqi finished speaking with a gloomy face, he ordered Liu Erhe to prepare a dedicated line between San Francisco and Jinling. He wanted to speak to Song He.

A few hours later, Li Mingqi received a call from Song He.

"How many warships are there now that can go to sea to fight?" Li Mingqi asked directly without any nonsense.

Hearing the anger hidden in Li Mingqi's voice, Song He knew something was wrong and quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, all the captured warships have been renovated."

"In addition to the squadrons patrolling various countries, there are also five of our own new iron-clad warships, two second-level iron-clad battleships, six third-level iron-clad battleships, one fourth-level iron-clad battleship, and a Black Prince with the British

Ironclad ship."

Ironclad battleships are battleships modified from sailing battleships.

The second-level ironclad battleship is a battleship modified from the second-level sailing battleship, and so on.

Last time he captured many battleships, Li Mingqi didn't plan to return any of them, but sent them directly to the Battleship Design Bureau for modification.

After such a long time, these warships have been modified and ready for maritime operations.

At the beginning, a squadron consisting of one ironclad ship, two level three ironclad warships and some gunboats was sent to 'visit' various countries.

Therefore, the only warships that can still go to sea and fight are those reported by Song He.
