New Ming Empire mixed in America

At this time, the field battle outside Cape Fort Fortress has basically ended.

Wang Chuan ordered the heavy artillery regiment to turn its muzzle and prepare to launch several rounds of shelling on the Cape Fort fortress.

But when he saw a soldier with a white flag walking out of the fortress, Wang Chuan sighed in frustration. It seemed that the battle was over now.

A main gunner who was relatively close to Wang Chuan said with a smile: "Commander, come and fire two cannons?"

Wang Chuan was upset when he saw this blind guy and cursed angrily:

"Do you have a sense of the overall situation? Didn't you see that they surrendered and blew up the fortress and you went to repair it?"

However, Wang Chuan obviously overestimated Sun Laifu's bottom line. Just when he was about to ask the soldiers to clean the barrel, the walkie-talkie in his hand rang:

"Wang Chuan, what do you think, you bastard? Why don't you fire?"

Wang Chuan was stunned by his roar, and then said:

"The other side has surrendered and came out with white flags."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Laifu's voice rang through the intercom again: "Fart, have you ever seen someone surrender with just one soldier? Fire at me, I want to see who gave them the face and dared to look down on us!"

Yes, if you surrender and send out a small soldier, you are looking down on us men. If you look down on us, you are looking down on the National Defense Forces and the New Ming Empire!

Rounding it all off, this is provoking His Majesty Li Mingqi’s majesty, and it is simply a naked declaration of war!

The Lord humiliates the minister and dies!

"What are you doing standing still? Shooting at me and being disrespectful to Long Live Lord is simply asking for death!"

Wang Chuan looked at the cannonballs on the carriage, and then added: "Be ready for three rounds of rapid fire. Each cannon must fire 9 rounds first!"

The artillerymen looked at the commander who suddenly became angry and did not react for a moment. Didn't they just reprimand us and say that we should have an overall view of the situation?

Although I thought so, I still had to listen to the commander's words, so the artillerymen began to recalibrate the firing range and load the artillery shells.

Before the soldiers carrying the white flag reached the Wehrmacht position, they heard a burst of mortar fire from the opponent's position.

"NO, NO, we have surrendered, you can't do this!"

The soldier was shocked. Didn't he see that he came out with a white flag? Why did he still fire?

He had seen the shelling just now. The horrific scene was more shocking than the solid bullets fired by the Napoleon cannon.

After just running a few steps, he felt a huge explosion behind him.

Looking back, I found that the fortress walls could not protect against such cannonballs falling from the sky.

The defenders were howling like ghosts as they were bombarded by mortars. In the end, the defenders on the fortress could only fire at the Wehrmacht positions in despair.

After hearing the gunfire, Sun Laifu finally had a smile on his face.

The empire has a small population to begin with, so leaving these defenders behind would be a time bomb.

These professionally trained soldiers are not workers or farmers, and they will be very troublesome if they cause trouble.

In order for Master Long Live to worry less, Sun Laifu had to suffer a little.

"Fight back quickly. Those white barbarians really have a conspiracy. If they really surrender, they won't shoot at all now!"

then…

"Long live my lord, what a great victory on the front line! Sun Laifu sent someone back with the battle report!"

If you hadn't looked at Liu Erhe's uniform, you would have thought he was a little eunuch following Li Mingqi.

After taking the battle report and unfolding it, it read:

'At 2:17 in the afternoon, we engaged the enemy in battle. Our soldiers of the National Defense Force destroyed the enemy's vanguard (tax collector) and then surrounded the Cape Fort Fortress.'

'At 3:20, the 1st Company of the Heavy Artillery Regiment joined the 2nd Regiment of our National Defense Force (2,000 men in total) to engage in battle with enemy reinforcements. Our troops suffered 32 minor injuries, 13 serious injuries, and annihilated 2,310 enemy troops.'

'At 4:30, the defenders of Haijiao Fort Fortress failed to surrender but were discovered by Captain Wang Chuan. After a fierce battle for 45 minutes, they successfully captured the fortress.'

After receiving the battle report, Li Mingqi just took a rough look at it and fully delegated authority based on the idea of ​​leaving professional matters to professional people.

The Imperial Defense Force of the New Ming Dynasty is not the private military force of the Pseudo-Qing warlords who only know the generals but do not know the existence of a court.

The large-scale application of walkie-talkies and radios has made the distance between soldiers and him actually very close.

Now even the soldiers' military pay does not go through the hands of the officials, but is distributed uniformly by the Imperial Royal Bank.

Coupled with the Jin Yiwei and the instructors set up in the army, he can delegate power to his subordinates with peace of mind.

The current landing site of 'China Beach' has been renamed King's Landing Fortress by Li Mingqi to commemorate His Majesty Li Mingqi's first visit to his loyal San Francisco.

In the future, a resettlement site will be built there, and future immigrants from the Puppet Qing Dynasty will be resettled here first.

Now that the Cape Fort Fortress has been obtained, the next step is to clear out the illegal armed forces in the nearby towns.

For example, the police in various small towns are a type of illegal armed force.

After cleaning up, you have to talk to the San Francisco City Hall about the concession, but you have to flex your muscles before talking.

As for the territories you said have been occupied by the Xinming Empire?

Presumptuous! What is appropriation?

Except for the urban area of ​​San Francisco, the land near the west coast has been the territory of the Xinming Empire since ancient times. It is reasonable for it to be taken back by the Xinming Empire now!

The morning after taking the Cape Fort Fortress, Li Mingqi set out for this fortress that had just experienced the war.

Looking at the dilapidated fortress, Liu Youcai felt heartbroken.

How much would it cost to rebuild this?

These warriors really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are. How many times can they afford such expenses even if Long Live Lord’s internal funds are abundant?

Liu Youcai rushed to San Francisco from Yingtianfu yesterday afternoon because the distance between the two places was not too far.

So the imperial ministers were able to gather in San Francisco.

If it were moved to a farther place, and Ying Tianfu didn't leave a confidant to watch, Li Mingqi would really feel uneasy.

It seems that the railway from Yingtianfu to San Francisco must be put on the agenda!

"Long live my lord, I just saw that this gang of killers didn't capture many prisoners. This war is a loss for the time being."

Liu Youcai is now very interested in free labor, because the Xinming Empire now needs labor everywhere.

Apart from anything else, there are not enough workers just frying explosives for mortars.

Of course, it is normal for such dangerous work to be often short of people.

But now that the Xinming Empire has expanded its territory... bah, after regaining its inherent territory, there will not be enough labor.

The road from King's Landing Fortress to Cape Keep Fortress needs people to repair it.

In the future, workers will also need workers to repair the houses of the detained imperial subjects after they return.

Not only that, the most important thing now is to build a palace for His Majesty!

Looking at the map of the west coast, Liu Youcai suddenly felt that the construction of the palace needed to be postponed.

Because now that the territory has become larger, Liu Youcai no longer wants to build Li Mingqi's palace by the sea.

We cannot follow the old path of Qianming.

Although the words of the emperor and the guardians of the country are very powerful, His Majesty is the only one left in the royal family of the Xinming Empire.

Now if anyone dares to talk nonsense about the emperor guarding the country, Liu Youcai will be the first to refuse!
