Dragon Sea Empire

At the end of April in the 46th year of Wanli.The northern line of the Chinese Army withdrew from the Beijing-Tianjinwei area.early may.The Chinese Army withdrew from Penglai Water City.However, it still occupies the Jinzhou and Lushun areas in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula.and the islands in Bohai Bay.

current month.A large number of Xu Hongru and Bailian sect rebels attacked Qufu.After being defeated by the official army.A large number of refugees fled to the coast of Rizhaojiu Port at the junction of Shandong and South Zhili.The third squadron of the Northern Fleet of the Chinese Navy escorted a large number of goods passing by.Resolutely docked to meet him.More than [-] refugees were rescued.

Ming court officials accused the Chinese army of sabotaging the peace talks.Instigated by Fang Congzhe, the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party forcefully suppressed this trend of criticism.at the same time.Fang Congzhe sent a letter urging Xu Guangqi to immediately negotiate with Zhonghua Company.

end of june.The Ming court signed a secret peace treaty with Yin Feng, the leader of the Chinese army.at the same time.Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, read out an open "Nanjing Agreement" signed by the negotiators on both sides: Zhonghua Company surrendered its books to the imperial court.Roll out all the occupied areas of the two capitals.at the same time.The imperial court opened the sea ban.Allow Chinese companies to operate overseas trade.in publicity.Fang Congzhe deliberately ignored the question about the Jiangnan occupation area except Nanjing.

In the secret agreement between the two parties.Fang Congzhe allowed the merchants of Zhonghua Company to enjoy franchise rights.In addition to paying taxes by chapter.The government will no longer buy or forcefully donate to them.and.Regarding Yin Feng's request to be king.Fang Congzhe passed Xu Guangqi.Vaguely promise to fight for him.

Yin Feng was negotiating with the late court.The matter of conferring the king is no longer emphasized.Just let him occupy the Jiangnan area.No need to state what is in name.He only wants real benefits.

The Chinese Army withdrew from Nanjing.At the same time, they were evacuated from Anqing, Wuhu and other places.They also evacuated from the Yangzhou area in the north of the Yangtze River.but.The Chinese army continued to occupy Wusongkou.From Jurong in the east of Nanjing to the southeast.Jintan, Liyang to the north shore of Taihu Lake.East of this line.The Chinese Army continued to take control.The Chinese Army withdrew from Suzhou Mansion.But they built a fort just north of Suzhou Fucheng.Kunshan, Qingpu and Jinshan to the east of Taihu Lake.There are Chinese troops stationed there.And take advantage of the local water channels extending in all directions.A strict water patrol system has been established.In the Jiangnan control area.The Chinese Army stationed 5000 people from the newly formed Fourth Division.Cooperate with two squadrons of more than fifty gunboats and warships.Including the battleship Hiryu with 75 guns.

The strength of the Fourth Division.Half of them were drawn from the troops of the Second Division of Mai De.The basic force is the Seventh Regiment of the Second Division participating in the battle on the southern front.The rest were reorganized from the Zhuang Ding team that originally belonged to the Taiwan Garrison.There is also the Hainan native battalion and a small number of auxiliary soldiers recruited locally.The commander of the [-]th division is held by Mai De.The commander of the second division was transferred to Yang Dacheng.The town will be moved to the northern Ryukyu Islands.Train the northern recruits recently recruited from northern regions such as North China, Shandong, and Liaodong.These recruits and former members of the Second Division.In the future, we will mainly fight in the north.

McDermott didn't play much.The backbone of the original second regiment "Gale regiment" has been dispersed to several places such as the second division and the fourth division.But he trained the troops step by step and rigidly.Never let up.Therefore his troops have always been strong and disciplined.He himself is known for his poise.The spirit of taking the initiative to attack is not enough.But the defense is good, and the decision-making before the battle is decisive.And he is kind and good at communicating with people.this point is very important.because.The general manager of the Jiangnan Control Area of ​​the Chinese Army is Chen Zhongji.Deputy Chief Cao Tai.It's all the same as Maddow.They were the first batch of generals in the Chinese Army created by Yin Feng himself.

The Ming court was anxious to deal with the crisis in the Northeast.The Chinese company is anxious to take full action against Nanyang.Only then did the two sides reach that ridiculous agreement.An unprecedented one.A peace treaty between the imperial court and the merchant rebels.

Yan Siqi's 16th Brigade was the first southern troops to withdraw from Jiangnan.They boarded a boat and headed south.across the Taiwan Strait.Skimming the west side of Luzon, after landing in Nanya State, West Borneo.Accepted the local garrison-gold mine protection team of [-] sentry teams.After finishing the reorganization.The fifth brigade has four regiments with more than [-] people.in.A battalion commander of the Fourth Regiment is the youngest battalion commander in the entire Chinese Army.His name is Zheng Zhilong.I am [-] years old this year.In fact, he has not yet completed his studies in the command department of the military academy.

The march and reorganization of the Fifth Brigade were hasty.The reason is that the Nanyang war broke out again.

Zhao Xuanming's Nanyang Brigade has too many places to defend.In addition to West Borneo, there are also Chinese colonies such as Sulawesi, Sumatra, and Timor Java that need to be defended.His troops are basically the veterans of the Fourth Regiment guarding Fengguiwei Village in Penghu.Nowadays, a large number of mainland immigrants and children of overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia join the army.Although the original stoic "iron wall group" style is somewhat diluted.But the fundamentals are still there.The fundamental problem of the garrison troops in the Nanyang colonies is also here.Good at defense, not good at offense.The dotted colony garrison forts made the Nanyang Brigade scattered.Except for the Nanyang Brigade Headquarters in Cirebon City, Java.A regiment of more than 1000 people directly under Zhao Xuanming is outside the strategic mobile force.The rest of the troops were scattered among the colonies.The battle lines are stretched too far.

due to the civil war.The Third Fleet - Nanyang Fleet still transferred some ships to the north.To support Taiwan and southern troops.News of a civil war in China also spread.The Chinese company in Nanyang was empty of troops.There is no doubt about it.The Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, and various Southeast Asian countries have all moved their minds.Start looting by fire.

The Portuguese can only rely on the help of Chinese companies to maintain the operation of Macau.Moreover, the Portuguese and the Dutch have too much grievances.Therefore, they and the Chinese company stood on the same line during the Nanyang crisis.

News that the Dutch, the British, and the French are about to start operations in Nanyang.Half a year ago, it was transmitted to the Business Department of Zhonghua Company through the Portuguese people in Macau.two months later.With the southwest monsoon, the Chinese company merchant ship returned to Taiwan.Successively brought the news that Java, Aceh, Malacca and other strategic points in Nanyang were going to war across the board.The number of Dutch merchant ships and British ships coming to Taiwan has decreased a lot this year.It also demonstrates how tense the situation is.More than 40 merchant ships of Chinese companies were detained in Batavia, Surabaya, Sulawesi, and Timor.

Both the British and the French were latecomers to the Nanyang chess game.There was a melee with the Portuguese, the Dutch East India Company, and the Chinese Company.They took advantage of the Chinese company to fight the civil war with their mother country.Want to change the situation of the chessboard.

Yin Feng would never allow such a situation to happen.This place in Nanyang.The Chinese were the earliest colonizers.It's just because there is no country to back it up, the power is loose and there are too many internal strife.Only then will it be fully controlled by Westerners in later generations.Even in Hereafter.Eighty percent of Nanyang's economic lifeline is in the hands of the Chinese.Separated from the hard work and trade of the Chinese.All Western colonial governments will fall.For example.Yin Feng traveled to the time and space before he traveled.Gold mining industry in West Borneo.It was established by the earliest Chinese pioneers.Gold mining can thrive in Chinese hands.When the Dutch drove away Chinese companies such as Lanfang Company.But how can not continue to operate.In the end they all went bankrupt.until the twentieth century.The infrastructure of West Borneo was built on the basis left by the Chinese.

in this era.The Chinese work like worker bees.Western colonists and natives enjoyed the benefits.This will never happen again.The goal of Zhonghua Company and Yin Feng is to turn Nanyang into the inner sea of ​​China.

After Yin Feng arranged the manpower to stay in Jiangnan.Can't wait for Chen Zhongji to come from the north to take over his duties.Just bring the latest Weiyuan ship and Li Xing's 5000 main force of the sixth brigade of the third division.Take the Sea Soul, Sea Urchin and Xinxing.Depart from Wusongkou.Headwind to Taiwan.

Half a month later.He landed in Taipei with his immediate relatives in the barracks.The fleet continued south to Luzon.To suppress the rebellion of Japanese and aboriginal Catholics there.

Yin Feng stayed in Taiwan.Started to reorganize the Chinese Army.

This is the beginning of the establishment of the Chinese Army Guard.Compiled for the fifth time.And it was reorganized during the war.

The military system created by Yin Feng's half-assed military history experts.At first it was to deal with the Spaniards.The imitation is the Dutchman Morris, and the Swedish Gustav who later turned to learn from later generations.With the use of flintlock muskets.As well as the establishment of military school education and independent firearms R & D and production system.The current Chinese army has developed to the point where it has begun to use a large number of cannons, focusing on firepower output, and bayonet charge as the final blow.Similar to pre-revolutionary firearms tactics.A golden finger that is driven too far ahead.This made Yin Feng unable to grasp some development directions of the Chinese Army.Various military tasks such as organization, tactics, morale, training, logistics, and intelligence are in the process of constant change.Everything is in the process of groping.

During the recent battle with the imperial court.Yin Feng found that his troops were doing a good job of defeating the imperial army.But the step-by-step one-word long snake formation.Especially horizontal and linear formations.After defeating the Ming army.However, it was unable to quickly outflank and annihilate the Ming army.so.The Chinese army repeatedly defeated the Ming army.But most of them are battles of defeat.There are few battles of annihilation.The way of fighting is relatively dull.

Four posts form a battalion.Four battalions and one regiment.Three regiments form a brigade.Two brigades and one division.This kind of establishment is used in larger-scale operations.Still looks dull.The division commander commands the troops.In practice there are few tactical options.Under the current communication conditions.Create too large an army.It is impossible to make any temporary tactical adjustments during the battle.It can only be fought to the end according to the pre-war deployment.Or it depends on the team commander's impromptu performance.pity.Yin Feng is very concerned about cultivating such generals and handsome talents.Can't come up with any good solution.Such talents can only be discovered in the actual combat process.Military Academy Education of the Chinese Army.At this stage, the cultivation and training of key officers can be achieved.Cultivate and improve the quality of grassroots officers.That's pretty good.

The main force of Zhao Tie's first division was in addition to the second regiment who stayed in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula.The main force has all been transferred back to Taiwan.Reorganization starts from the first division.But Zhao Tie was a little dissatisfied.He pestered Yin Feng to ask to fight in Nanyang.
