The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 377 The Seven Major Capitals

Liu Xia specially asked those soldiers to adapt to the plateau climate, that is, to attack Tibet one day and completely take Tibet down. Those disobedient ethnic groups should be eliminated and killed.

The commander-in-chief of the Southwest Capital Division is Li Dingguo, who is awarded the rank of general. He was the only general who joined halfway, but he was in a high position. However, Li Dingguo's ability is also obvious to all, and there is not much opposition to him as the commander of the Southwest Capital Division. As for Li Gu, his qualifications are not enough to serve as the commander-in-chief.

Then Liu Xia reorganized the Qinwei Brigade and reorganized the Qinwei into the Yulin Legion, with 20,000 soldiers and horses. As for the Guards, it is organized into 5,000 people, which is a brigade-level position. It is not only responsible for the safety of Liu Xia, but also for the safety of Luoyang City.

Establish the Central China Capital Division, which is responsible for the defense of Henan, Huguang and other places, and is the responsibility of the Yulin Legion. Liu Xia dropped the guard tiger and returned. He served as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and served as the commander-in-chief of the Central China Capital Division, and taught him the title of riding general.

The East China Capital Division was established to be responsible for the defense of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Nanzhili and other places. The original 50,000 horses of the Griffin Legion were divided into two. One was the Lion Legion and the other was the Griffin Legion. Jiang Xin continued to serve as the commander of the Griffin Legion. As for the commander of the capital of East China, Zhang Liang is responsible. Compared with Zhang Liang, Jiang Xin's qualifications are still much different.

Then the southeast capital division was also established. The commander was Ma Peng, and the Kuilang Legion was also divided into two. After all, 50,000 people were one legion, and Liu Xia was not worried. The Southeast Capital Division is responsible for the defense of Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian. When the southeast capital is set up.

At present, there are at least two regiments in China, including the Northwest Capital Division, the Northeast Capital Division, the Southwest Capital Division, the Southeast Capital Division, the Central China Capital Division, the Northeast China Capital Division, and the North China Capital Division. The main reason why the Southwest Capital Department arranges so many people is because of Tibet, but there are also the reasons for some small countries in Southeast Asia.

Taking the initiative to provoke trouble from Myanmar made Liu Xia understand that some small countries must be deterred by force, otherwise he would think it was your sick cat.

However, except for the divided Kui Wolf Legion, the Beast Legion, and the Griffin Legion. The Green Dragon Legion, the Rosefinch Legion, the Iron Lion Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, and the White Tiger Legion are still 50,000. However, the North China Legion, the Northeast Legion and the Northwest Legion are all fighting at this moment. If Liu Xia divides it in half now, it will have a certain impact on the battle, so it will not be rebuilt for the time being. But it will be sooner or later to split into two.

Liu Xia established seven capital divisions, which basically covered the entire Chinese territory. Although these legions are not too strong, they are already sufficient in combat. After all, their task is not to defend the city. The city has a special place to defend the legion.

After the establishment of the seven major capital divisions, Liu Xia was promoted to three chiefs of the Military Department, the Inspector Department and the Logistics Department. Chen Liu, Meng Yu and Wang En became the cavalry generals. While the army was constantly improving its establishment, Zheng Zhilong of Taiwan couldn't sit still.

He sent ten warships and began to secretly go to Liaodong. But it was known in advance by the East China Sea Fleet. Although it has been a long time, sailing boats are faster than steamboats. Yu Mingjun used a carrier pigeon to send a message to Bai Menghu, the commander of the North Sea Fleet, and asked him to send warships to intercept. On the other hand, he sent three fastest warships of the East China Sea Fleet to pursue. At the same time, he cooperated with Zhang Liang, the commander of the East China Capital Division, to guard against threats from Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong thinks he will succeed, so he is not worried in Taiwan.

But he didn't know that Liu Xia's warships were much more advanced than his warships. It can be said that it will take hundreds of years to advance. After all, the steam engine will not appear until it is long before it is used on the ship.

Then Zheng Zhilong seemed to think that Liu Xia's navy was not strong, so he often sent several warships to harass the coastal area. As soon as the ships of the East China Sea Fleet passed, they immediately slipped away. From time to time, he went ashore to rob. Robbery. This completely angered Liu Xia.

However, there were not many troops along the coast. Most of the Kuilang Legion went to death to pursue Wu Sangui. The two legions under the East China Capital Division, one stationed in Shandong and the other stationed in Jiangsu and Nanzhili. I can't control Fujian. After all, Fujian is the scope of the southeast capital. Only the East China Sea Fleet defends that side, but the East China Sea Fleet, which relies on only a few dozen ships, will definitely not be able to completely guard against it. So Liu Xia split the Rosefinch Legion into two, one named the Rosefinch Legion and the other named the Black Dragon Legion. The Rosefinch Legion went to the southeast and stationed in Fujian and Guangdong to guard against threats from Taiwan. As for the new commander of the Rosefinch Legion, Xia Di is in charge.

On the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea Fleet caught up with Zheng Zhilong's fleet to Liaodong under the command of Yu Mingjun, and the North Sea Fleet also besieged it. The ten warships suddenly felt bad. Under the command of Yu Mingjun, the East China Sea Fleet fired directly at the ten warships. At the same time, the North Sea Fleet, under the command of the White Dream Tiger, also began to fire at the enemy. There was no time to reflect them at all. Six of the ten warships had been blown up, and many soldiers fell into the sea. Fortunately, they are all sailors who can naturally swim. Almost all of them were blown up, and few drowned.

In a moment, the ten legions were all finished, and the North Sea Fleet also lost two wooden warships. Then the two fleets salvaged all the enemy troops that had fallen into the sea and locked them in a cage. The crisis came to an end. However, Yu Mingjun knew that this was not Zheng Zhilong's carelessness. Zheng Zhilong did not know the strength of Liu Xia's water army, and thought that Liu Xia's water army was at the same level as Wu Sangui's water army. So such a weak fleet was sent out.

If Zheng Zhilong knew the strength of Liu Xia's navy, he would definitely send a large number of warships. It's easy to move hundreds of ships. However, all the combat warships of the East China Sea Fleet add up to only 25. It can't be compared with Zheng Zhilong's warship.

At this moment, Yu Mingjun realized the importance of the warship, so for the next period of time, he continued to write memorials to Liu Xia and ask Liu Xia to allocate funds to build the warship. Some time ago, he thought that the construction of transport ships delayed warships, and then delayed the construction of warships because of the construction of railways. Now that the output of steel has increased, Liu Xia can't stop building warships.

Soon Liu Xia agreed to build a shipyard in Songjiang Prefecture and another steel factory. At the same time, the construction of a railway from Luoyang to Nanjing and Songjiang was approved. Jiaozhou is the base of the North Sea Fleet, so the railway from Luoyang to Jiaozhou has been built. Now Songjiang is the base of the East China Sea Fleet. Naturally, it is necessary to build a railway to Songjiang Prefecture. It is easy to transport all kinds of materials. At the same time, Nanjing has an unusual status. Fujian and Zhejiang have a large population, and the construction of a railway to Songjiang can also better serve the people.

Now the railway department has a primary train passenger system. Most of the people around Luoyang go out by train. On the one hand, the train is fast and cheap, and on the other hand, it is also curious. Compared with ordinary people. Businessmen love trains the most. When there was no train before, they all had to pay a high price to transport goods. Now with trains, it only takes a few silver coins to transport the goods.

From Luoyang to Xi'an, Shaanxi is basically a train trip, and the train tracks from Xi'an, Shaanxi to Chengdu are also under planning. At that time, you can go directly to Yunnan from Luoyang through Sichuan.

However, many railways are in the planning stage and have not entered the construction stage. It is not that they can't find manpower. Instead, the output of steel can't keep up. At present, China is not short of iron ore. However, the technology of steelmaking is not too mature, and the steel produced is still relatively small. Liu Xia can only build the main railway first. As for other railways, when there are enough steel reserves in the future, they will be slowly built.

Soon the news that the fleet sent by Zheng Zhilong was defeated in the Yellow Sea spread to Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong was furious and ordered a full-scale attack on Fujin. If you want to attack Luoyang, kill Liu Xia.
