You Jianwei repaired the captured warships casually in the Spanish shipyard in Panama City. After repairing the sails, he followed the merchant ships in Panama City back to Jinshan.

The Spaniards and the Portuguese began to actively take the lead in both sides and strive to promote peace talks between the two sides.

However, when Liu Yuan was sent back the information, he was shocked. The coalition forces were actually defeated?

It's really thunder and raindrops are very small.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have to ask for help from the local government.

However, after teaching the coalition a lesson, the strength of the American fleet increased again, and the eighteen warships turned into twenty-six, and the warship scattered with Lin Jun also returned, but did not capture the enemy ship, but sank.

Eight days later, You Jianwei returned to Kingsoft and brought back five warships. The number of warships in the American fleet skyrocketed to thirty-one.

And in the shipyard, ten frigates will be launched soon.

The power has increased dramatically!

Nothing is too useful for Hengjiang Iron Lock now.

...In March, thirty flying scissors ships transported 30,000 soldiers, 100,000 shells and 100,000 rockets arrived in California.

"Three...thirty thousand?" Liu Yuan almost suspected that he heard it wrong, "Why are there so many people?"

"It's all the local heroes."

"Governor's bravery!" Liu Yuan felt that it was normal. It was obvious that the regular army could not have 30,000 people, but the 30,000 township bravery was far more useful than the 10,000 regular army.

Because these rural brave men have received military training, they can become qualified soldiers as long as they practice again.

What is the most unstoppable thing in the colony?

There is a shortage of people!

There are only 8,000 Marine soldiers in the colony now and only 503 immigrants.

As long as there are people, they can expand their strongholds everywhere. In terms of food, the colonies are now self-sufficient, and the biggest source of food is fish.

However, when these 30,000 local heroes come, they must plant some food.

Liu Yuan felt that it would be best to let the headquarters keep these 30,000 people every week and move more people over. After all, America is so big, even bigger than the entire Ming Dynasty. Now Europeans have begun to move on here, so they should focus their main energy here to compete for land.

And Australia can put it aside first.

For this reason, Liu Heng wrote another seal report, asking the flying scissors to fill the cargo and then sent them back to Shandong together. The California colony, which received support from 30,000 people, soon began a new expansion plan.

Four thousand of them were transferred to Alaska to cooperate with the American Golden Force to dig gold and kill otters, and three thousand were almost the same.

California continues to expand, and this year it will control all the land that can be cultivated in California, develop cotton and food, and at the same time, it will also build more bastions to ensure that the colony is foolproof, and about 8,000 soldiers are required to defend.

There are more than 20,000 people to be allocated.

These 27,000 people are the capital for the expansion of the California colony.

But when choosing where to expand, I think carefully. Now Central and South America has been occupied by the Spanish, this is the most important region in the Americas.

Of course, it is also the area that the Spaniards value the most.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but think about whether he could fight the Spanish and drive them out of Central and South America.

However, Zhao Yan reminded them that Central America is an irresistible place because it has some things that are currently irresistible - infectious diseases!

But South America is a place to be involved.

"The lord said that the lowest section of South America is a very rich land, but it was also occupied by the Spanish." Liu Yuan turned his attention to the two regions of Chile and Argentina.

Zhao Yan once told him that Chile has many saltpeter and copper mines, and they are all open-pit, making it very easy to mine.

Argentina is a very suitable place for agriculture, with fertile land and suitable climate, and a flat terrain.

Central America is a forbidden area! It is very easy for all troops to be wiped out when they enter.

In southern South America, there will be no such situation. As long as it is not in tropical areas, there will be no such situation.

In tropical areas, if you capture the Spanish strongholds, stay in the strongholds and do not run around in the rainforest, otherwise there will be no problems.

However, it will not turn against the Spaniards for the time being, but it does not mean that it will not expand.

Liu Yuan immediately sent personnel to southern South America to investigate. The main target was the desert area in northern Chile.

The desert in northern Chile is a region that has not rained for hundreds of years, and it is extremely dry.

But there is a lot of saltpeter and copper there. In the era of black gunpowder, saltpeter produced in Chile almost monopolized the market, and the copper mine reserves reached 1/3 of the world.

For a country like China that lacks copper ore, copper ore in Chile is very important.

However, the desert areas in northern Chile are not unavailable because there is a lot of fog passing through the sky, which is caused by cold currents from the Antarctic. The net can be hung high and the water mist condenses into water.

Due to the influence of the Antarctic and Andes, northern Chile is a region that has not rained for hundreds of years, but another inhabitable area.

Liu Yuan planned to take a look first and then plan how to capture southern South America.

With California's current strength, it is no problem to go to southern South America more often.

Whether it is selling or robbing, it is a method that can be tried. If the Spaniard refuses to sell, then find an excuse to turn against each other.

A technical person is also required to turn against each other.

Later generations, Russia was like a polar bear, constantly performing clumsy political performances, so it was not popular among other countries.

...Shandong, after several months of reorganization, is ready to expand.

The military expenditure of 4 million taels of war was in place.

The military annihilation of Mongolia has been almost ready.

At the combat meeting, Zhao Yan pointed to the large map on the wall and said: "This time we will encircle the Mongolian tribes east of Datong. All infantry brigades are equipped with horses to travel, from Datong to Mongolia, and then form an encirclement line. The cavalry brigade attacked from western Liaoning, eliminated the Mongolian tribes all the way, and drove the remaining troops westward. The infantry brigade also advanced eastward at the same time, thus attacking both sides."

"In this way, most of the Mongolians in the eastern region have vitality. Then, the self-respecting troops and immigrants quickly followed up, built a bastion at the water source in the eastern region, and established immigration points, thus expelling the permanent Mongolian surname from the eastern region. After the infantry brigade and the cavalry brigade, they advanced westward and used the same method to control western Mongolia. After the Mongols in western Mongolia swept, they led their troops to the north of the desert to eliminate Mongolians in northern desert."

"This is a strategy at a large level, specific tactics, and how much materials are needed, the General Staff will calculate the result as soon as possible." After Zhao Yan finished speaking of the strategy at a large level, he threw the next thing to the General Staff.

The strategy set by Zhao Yan is a one-time and for all combat method, and the logistics test is huge.

Why has the war against Mongolia been unable to eliminate this barbaric and backward nation in previous dynasties? Is that because there has been no tenable in Mongolia in previous dynasties?

So what if you hurt Mongolia?

Once the Central Plains army retreated, the nomadic peoples still did not lose their living space and would eventually reproduce gradually. However, Zhao Yan would occupy Mongolia forever and seize the living space of the nomadic peoples.

To gain a foothold in the Mongolian Plateau, the most important thing is water source.

How to grazing without water?

As long as the water source is controlled, even if the Mongols cannot suppress it completely, they will have to leave that area.

Therefore, the important thing in this expedition to Mongolia was not to kill many Mongolians, but to occupy a lot of land, so Zhao Yan chose a smaller combat area.

First swallow the grasslands on the line of Liaodong-Datong, then continue to advance westward, and then advance into the northern desert.

The General Staff immediately began to formulate specific tactics.

The logistics of the Cavalry Brigade is relatively simple, killing and robbing all the way, and there is generally no problem in replenishing supplies.

The infantry brigade has 63,000 people, and the supply is very simple, so you don’t have to worry about food. If you take it for a month, you can transport the other ones from the back. It is very likely to grab a large-scale herd of cattle and sheep. The forage for horses is even simpler. The Mongolian Plateau is an endless pasture, so you don’t need to bring any forage at all.

Most of the rewards and pensions will be paid with land, and military expenses will not be much.

The only difficulty is the construction of the stronghold, which requires transporting a lot of materials and manpower to the grassland, and immigrating to the grassland.

"Lord, our main purpose is to occupy the grassland. There is no need to build bastions everywhere in the early stage. Just build some small bastions in the water source. If Mongols come to harass them, they will use beacon to send messages to attract nearby troops to wipe them out. Once the Mongols have no place to graz, they will gradually withdraw from that area. The bastions should be built in those immigrant areas, and this area should be concentrated in order to protect the people. When the rest of the areas are cleaned up without Mongolians, they will move the people over." Liu Heng said to Zhao Yan.

"It is more appropriate to set up an immigration area in the middle, so that it can provide supplies in both the east and west directions, and our war funds will also be saved a lot." Liu Heng continued.

"Immigration cannot be rushed, so that's it!" Zhao Yan nodded.

"Lord, we have a good relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda. The two places of Xuanda have more than 50,000 troops, and they are all trained in Shandong. They can also participate in this battle to make up for our lack of military strength." Mao Yuanyi said: "At the same time, once Xuanda's troops enter Mongolia to fight, our logistics will not be pinned to their hands."

"Well! I'll write to him later." Zhao Yan said. The staff members obviously did not believe in Lu Xiangsheng very much, so they were still worried that the supply line would be cut off.

After all, their military group and the court seem to be relatively relaxed on the surface, but everyone understands that as long as there is a chance, the court will definitely stab the knife in the back.

Although Lu Xiangsheng has a good relationship with Shandong, if he is transferred, the 50,000 Xuan Da soldiers may destroy the supply line at any time.

Although I am not afraid of the 50,000 Xuan Da troops, if such a phenomenon occurs, it will cause great losses.

After repeated discussions, the immigration location was finally decided to set up the immigration location in the northern part of Datong, the Hohhot area in later generations, and then continue to expand.

...The land measurement in Shandong has been launched again. The people who repeated the measurement this time were all dispatched by Zhaojiabao, and they are protected by armed police.

The review was carried out smoothly, and some people who tried to stop were arrested directly.

This investigation quickly found a lot of problems.

The bribery officials were implicated one by one, and the landlords who bribed local officials were also implicated one by one.

Even the Shandong Military Group, which has always aimed at clean government, still has many corrupt elements under such circumstances.

Shandong armed police began to arrest people everywhere since the re-inspection.

Some officials were exposed, and some wanted to escape by rolling the bedding, but they were all stopped by checkpoints everywhere.

One after another, the number of officials was pulled out quickly reached more than one hundred.

Some of the officials even concealed half of the land, and their bad surnames made Zhao Yan unbearable. The landlords involved had more than 300 households, all of whom wanted to take advantage of loopholes to evade taxes.
