Chapter 1322 Military Information

The roof is covered by dark clouds, and the storm and storm overturned the tents outside the city. Even standing on the city walls is unstable. You have to hold the battlements to avoid being blown away.

On the southeastern sea, a tornado rose straight into the sky, and the wonder of dragon sucking water appeared.

Inside the city, the capital.

Luo Yi looked at the eaves, like a bead with a broken line, dripping down. After a moment of pondering, he said resolutely: "Please choose the edge!"

"this……"

On the side, the young colonel officer was confused. The last time he faced the fierce attack from Europeans, the lower-level officer suffered heavy casualties and had to choose a frontman. This was to fight his troops to death. In a unit, hundreds of them were added.

It’s easy to have thousands of new recruits, but it’s difficult to cultivate an officer. All officers and veterans are dead. Even if the troops are completely finished, they can cancel their number.

Luo Yi's face calmed down a little, and he said gently: "I can't bear to leave?"

The colonel looked at his pale face and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing to give up, why can't I bear it? Then choose the front line!"

The order of selection of the vanguard was passed down, and the essence of the Ming army in the city, officers, veterans, and brave men were selected to form a vanguard team of 300 people, and they were in the house near the city wall to accumulate strength.

These 300 people were formed into thirty teams, as the main force guarding the city wall, and were responsible for the heavy task of blocking gaps and fighting hand-to-hand combat.

Rumbled, another thunderous roar in the sky, and the storm became even more violent.

Luo Yi coughed lightly and smiled, "The destiny is with me, maybe the rain will fall for half a month."

The colonel officer squeezed out a smile. Luo Yi knew in his heart when he looked young. He was probably the descendant of a senior official of the court. He had a bright resume and was promoted quickly after joining the army. He became a colonel officer in less than thirty years.

, This person's background should be amazing. This person's surname is Yu, but he doesn't know if he is the nephew of a senior official in the court. Luo Yi naturally would not say such things, and he would not inquire about his fellow comrades.

Privacy.

At the same time, Panama.

The storm shrouded Panama City in the mist of the sky, and all activities inside and outside the city stopped. A meeting was being held in the city, a committee composed of three hundred merchants, officers, and colonial officials.

Deliberate countermeasures to deal with the storm. At this time, the colonial authorities' ties with Florida had long been interrupted, and no one knew that Florida was facing siege from the European Union.

The committee discusses the digging of a canal in Panama to connect two oceans. The two oceans are close and only a hundred miles apart, but these hundred miles are all steep mountains and unpassable. Ships from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean,

From the west coast of America to the east coast, you can only travel thousands of miles to Cape Horn. Cape Horn is at the southernmost tip of the South American continent. The ocean surface is surging and the navigation is dangerous. It is strong winds all year round and the climate is cold. It is also called Devil's Cape.

At that time, merchant ships and even warships were in danger and sunk on this route. Such losses made the colonial authorities feel unacceptable. It was a foregone conclusion that the canal was dug in Panama. For this reason, the committee concentrated a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, but was affected.

The mountains and ridges and tropical rainforests trapped in central America are trapped without any progress.

However, the excavation of the canal has been put on the agenda and is imperative. Among the four proposed excavation sites, the Isthmus of Panama is the narrowest, and the Isthmus of Nicaragua isthmus can be used by Lake Nicaragua and San Juan River, which has gradually become popular. Economically,

The benefits of digging canals are self-evident. With the increasing development of shipping between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, a more convenient route is of great significance.

At the same time, California.

Central and South America is now full of storms and storms, but California is in a blissful mood. Zheng Sen is also convening a military convention. In order to deal with the shortage of manpower faced by gold mining, Zheng Sen ordered the recruitment of veterans who were retired from the army at a high salary.

The officers re-entered the army, and thus obtained two thousand middle and lower-level officers. Most of these elite soldiers who re-entered the army were promoted to the third level and became the backbone forces in the colonial army.

The fruitful results of the construction of the new army over the years have quickly enriched the colonial army, mainly recruits.

Zheng Sen convened an emergency military convention because he received a surprising news from a French fur merchant. The French merchant swore that just two months ago, the Spanish and Dutch on the east coast of America,

The British were gathering, as if they were planning some conspiracy. Zheng Sen was a little skeptical, but he still rewarded the French merchant with great reverence. Unexpectedly, the Frenchman died of illness soon.

Nowadays, Zheng Sen's territory is full of trouble. There are not enough people to mine gold mines, and the plague is raging in this colony. Where did the plague come from? Zheng Sen is sure that it was those expedition teams from the primitive rainforests in Central and South America.

What was brought back from the city soon spread inside and outside the city. The Ming people in the city were fine, but not many people were infected, but local natives suffered. The whole village was infected with evil diseases, and the mortality rate was still very high.

high.

The people of the Ming Dynasty loved to be clean and had a high level of civilization, so the plague had not yet spread to the city.

Despite this, Zheng Sen was already in a state of great trouble and issued strict orders to clean up domestic waste, clean up dead corners, spray lime on the streets, and use daisies to mix sulfur to ignite the smoke generated, so that patients can go door-to-door

Cleaning the houses and dealing with the plague, the Ming people have rich experience.

At such a delicate time, Zheng Sen got such an emergency military situation. The generals in the military discussion were talking about it. Where was the target of the attack of the European coalition forces gathered on the east coast? Looking at the huge map of America, Zheng Sen's

Slap in Florida.

"It's beyond reach."

"We are afraid we can't help it."

"This matter is quite strange, it's hard to tell whether it is true or false."

Zheng Sen pondered, it was true that the whip was beyond reach. He could not send troops across the entire American continent and flew to the east coast. As for the matter, he wrote two official documents and sent them out. One official document was sent to the Ming Dynasty, asking the court to have more.

Some medical officers were sent to help with epidemic prevention drugs. Another official document was sent to Panama City, and it was marked as 100,000 yuan, so Zheng Sen could only do so.

Unfortunately, the French businessman who crossed the New World of America had died of illness.

Zheng Sen had no choice but to order more than a dozen slaves of the French merchant to Panama with the Clippers and ask the colonial authorities to decide. Five days later, the storm stopped and the Clippers arrived in Panama City. The Panama authorities received emergency troops.

The report was also shocked, but hesitated and the Ming army in Florida faced a cruel test.

After the rain, the sky was clear, and the cloudless northeast of Florida. The scorching sun was in the sky, and after the storm it was a sunny day. The temperature suddenly rose early in the morning. When the sun was noon, fighting in thick cotton armor was already a chore
