After the war began, Linn's strategy was very clear.
That means harassing people everywhere and grabbing every boat they see!
New Spain had no intention of a decisive battle, so Linn dispersed the fleet. His fleet was all new ships and could run faster.
Therefore, you have the initiative on the battlefield and can freely choose whether to fight or leave after discovering the enemy's fleet.
Moreover, Lynn also used the opportunity of the war with New Spain to obtain more benefits from Britain and France.
He not only invited many skilled shipbuilding workers from Britain, but also purchased a complete set of artillery casting technology from France.
Rohan's arsenal began to develop on a large scale, including firearms, artillery, and explosives. More than ten new shipyards were also built.
At the same time, his army began to make great strides forward from the land.
They started from the Atlantic coastal plains and headed west.
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas. Like a horse race, they occupied the Mississippi River plain in half a year.
The entire southern plains of the North American continent and all areas adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico were occupied by Rohan.
This vast plain has flat terrain, abundant water resources, and strong sunlight. If it is developed, it will definitely be an inexhaustible granary.
The army's pace slowed down and began to advance steadily. After establishing a military base in the occupied areas and eliminating threats, the accompanying government personnel will begin to measure the land and make immigration arrangements.
A large number of illegal workers were sent to build roads. Lin En's first request for these newly occupied areas was to build roads.
Only when roads are built, people are relocated, and land is reclaimed can Rohan's rule in these areas be considered stable.
A year later, Rohan's army vanguard marched to the foot of the desolate Rocky Mountains.
Government officials believed that there was no value in occupying further east, and they should start heading south to Mexico to fight a decisive battle with the Kingdom of New Spain!
But Linn stopped them. These people were obviously in trouble.
The lone army marched thousands of kilometers deep, and every bullet had to pass through an exaggeratedly long supply line. What to fight!
Lin En strictly ordered them to stabilize their defense and wait for backup.
Half a year later, Lin En led the reinforcements to the front line, but still did not choose to go south.
He led a small army to continue westward and crossed the Rocky Mountains. Three months later, they once again saw the endless sea, the Pacific Ocean!!!
Lynn named the place California...
So far, two years after the war with New Spain, the Kingdom of Rohan has occupied the entire southern part of the North American continent, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west.
Become a kingdom spanning two oceans.
This completely blocked the possibility of New Spain, which occupied Central America, to move northward and enter the North American continent.
On the North American continent, only England, France, and the emerging Kingdom of Rohan are left.
At this time, New Spain did not have any ambition to go north.
They have lost too much!
Since the beginning of the war, their navy has gained very little, and most of its warships have been used to protect merchant ships that are frequently attacked.
Without the protection of a large fleet, Spanish merchant ships may be attacked by "pirates" anywhere.
There were already a large number of pirates in the Caribbean, but now there are suddenly many more, and they are all well-equipped and well-trained. Small-scale caravans are simply unable to fight against them.
New Spain's originally wealthy military force suddenly became stretched thin.
Not to mention further attacks on Rohan's fleet, they were already exhausted from protecting the safety of the main routes.
The main opponent that caused this, Rohan, has a reliable investigation. Their warships have doubled in the past two years!
The number of third-level battleships in Rohan has increased to more than 60, and the number of fourth-level battleships has exceeded 100. It is impossible to count the cruisers and frigates in detail.
Moreover, with the help of British craftsmen, they built seven second-level battleships in the local shipyard in Rohan, and customized a "Victory-class" first-level battleship in "Port Royal"!
Where did Linn get such gold?
This is a question that many people don’t understand.
There are few commercial crops grown in Rohan's territory, but he buys ship after ship, and the speed with which he customizes warships shocks all these established naval powers.
And all were delivered in gold, extremely generous and with excellent credibility.
Not only are many British and French shipyards working non-stop, but some Spanish shipyards are also quietly participating.
Many people speculate that he may be a descendant of the royal family of the empire in the East that just disappeared. Otherwise, can magic be used to explain the source of the gold?
Under such speculation, Lin En's identity seemed to have become much more "noble".
With the rapid growth of Rohan's naval strength, Spain was even more afraid of a decisive battle. Under increasing losses and pressure, news of hope for peace talks even came from the mainland.
At this time, Lynn was presiding over the construction of a city in California. He opened up the southern passage to the North American continent. Now the most urgent need is no longer land, but population.
The Kingdom of Rohan has increased its land nearly ten times in the past two years, but its population has only more than doubled. The country's population has increased from 300,000 to 800,000, of which 300,000 are still newborn babies.
This is the result of Rohan's continuous encouragement of childbirth. Most of the Han people who immigrated here were young adults of the right age. In order to encourage childbirth, Lin En promised to exempt them from local taxes for five years for every child they gave birth to.
It also slowed down the pace of military recruitment, allowing them to work hard to give birth at home, and vigorously developed medical care and neonatal education to solve their worries.
In other words, as long as they are willing to have 10 or 8 children, they will basically not have to pay taxes for the rest of their lives.
But time is still short after all. An increase of 300,000 newborns in just two years is already very surprising.
The current adult population of the Kingdom of Rohan is only about 500,000, which is still too small!
It is simply not enough to digest such new land.
There are indeed many more blacks than Hans, but they are not citizens of Rohan, and they never will be.
And these people are all men. In order to appease them, Lin kindly promised to send them back to their hometown in twenty years!
May God bless them until that day!
In order to increase the population faster, Linn decided to cross the Rocky Mountains in one go, build towns and shipyards on the west coast of the North American continent, and order some caravans to come over.
He set his sights on the vast and boundless Pacific Ocean.
As long as this route is opened, his kingdom can get rid of many constraints and quickly increase its population.
The caravan that Lin En was waiting for hadn't arrived yet, but the envoy from the Spanish royal family finally found him after all the hard work.
The first time the messenger saw this land, he blurted out, "This is really a land of angels."
"Hahaha" Linn laughed,
"Okay, then this newly built city will be called the City of Angels!"
