Wang Dong stayed in Wanghai City for five days, and he did a lot of things during these five days.

First of all, through Zhang Han's careful explanation with him, Wang Dong had a deeper understanding of Xinming's situation, and at the same time he had completely understood the more complicated situation in Xinming.

On the surface, Xinming is booming, but in fact, Xinming still has big problems, both inside and outside. Pan Mengyuan has been working hard to change these problems, but for various reasons, he has not yet completed it, and Wang Dong will do it next.

As for the internal situation, the entire Xinming territory is too large. This is certainly a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.

Since the Ming Dynasty fought with France and Spain before, although it lost the opportunity to continue to advance eastward and retracted its tentacles. But in fact, this is not a bad thing, because the previous crazy expansion has caused the Ming Dynasty to disperse its power in the New Ming Dynasty. Now that it has temporarily stopped its development, it can better improve internal affairs and integrate properly.

According to the armistice agreement between the Ming and France, an agreement was finally reached, bounded by the west bank of the Colorado River and the western part of the Rocky Mountains.

From this point of view, the Ming Dynasty took at least one-quarter of the control of the entire northern part of the New World, and through this war, France, Spain and Britain saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the terrain of this continent is high in the west and low in the east. Finally, in the boundary division, the Ming Dynasty cannot continue to advance east for the time being, so the most important Great Plains area in the northern part of the New World did not fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but was controlled by France and Britain respectively.

As for the south, the Kingdom of Spain, as an old colonial country on this continent, although it has declined now, it still occupies a lot of elite areas. For example, a small part of later generations, California and the entire Mexico, as well as some vast areas of South America are still in the hands of Spain.

Judging from the map, the current Xinming territory is roughly from the northwest to Alaska in later generations, including the Yukon region in western Canada, British Columbia, nearly half of the northwest region, Alberta, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, and most of California.

This land is really not small, with extremely rich resources, which is basically enough for the development of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, because France and Britain were combined with Spain, the Ming Dynasty failed to reach into the best plains in North America, and the south was occupied by Spain. The Ming Dynasty could only turn around and head north and first take down several lands in Canada in the later generations.

However, compared to the south, although the northern resources are not short of them, the north is not suitable for farming. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty can only concentrate on expanding the south on this fast territorial site. As for the northern territory, in addition to industrial and commercial needs, there are very few agriculture, and occupation is only nominal.

With such a large territory, population shortage is the primary issue. Today, Xinming has more than 10 million registered populations, but in fact, less than one or two of these populations have been immigrated by the Ming Dynasty, most of which are naturalized Ming people.

The structure of the population caused obstacles to rule. Although the Ming Dynasty immigrated in Xinming adopted a different strategy from that of Western countries and achieved good results. However, Indians were different from Ming people after all, and it was absolutely impossible to truly naturalize Indians to Ming people without going through hundreds of generations.

Moreover, during the development period, in order to get more support from Indian tribes, the Xinming Governor's Office relaxed the naturalization of Indians. This policy did have a good effect in the early stages, but as time went by, the deeply rooted traditions and habits in the Indian tribes seemed a little out of place with the rule of the Ming Dynasty, which was also troubled by Pan Mengyuan.

The Governor's Office of the Xinming Dynasty has always been trying to eliminate the influence of Indian tribe tradition on naturalized Indians, so that these naturalized Ming people can truly become the people of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is not so easy to do this. Some Indians who were naturalized in the early stages are fine, and some small tribes do not have much problems. However, among some large tribes that were naturalized in the middle and late stages, due to the large population base and the rights and influence of tribal leaders and priests, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to implement thorough naturalization.

This problem is actually somewhat similar to the local southwestern toasts and heads. That is to say, in many places, Indian forces only nominally naturalize the Ming Dynasty, but in fact they still maintain their independence. This is extremely inconvenient for the implementation of central policies and local governance. Moreover, in normal times, conflicts between Ming immigrants and these Indians often lead to conflicts and even conflicts due to different factors such as land and customs.

As for the outside, it is the situation in various countries. Since the death of King Louis XIV of France, the war in Europe finally ended. With the slump of the European war, the British-French war in North America gradually stopped.

But whether it is France, Britain, or Spain, which no longer has the glory of the past, these countries are still unwilling to be in the ruling territory of the New World. Although there is a ceasefire on the surface, the secret conflict has never stopped.

Even on Xinming, after the last war, an agreement was signed to form a balance, but conflicts of all sizes on the border still existed these days. Therefore, in order to maintain the border area, the Xinming Governor's Office did not dare to neglect at all and sent troops to station on the border to deal with these emergencies.

However, there are frequent small-scale fights in France, and I dare not break up. As for the UK, although it is an ally with the Ming Dynasty on the surface, in fact, since the last time, the Governor General of the New Ming Dynasty has adopted both cooperation and defense against the British. In addition, there will still be certain small-scale conflicts caused by land reasons on the northern borders of the two.

On the contrary, Spain has become much more honest these days. Now Spain's new governor has taken over the position of the former governor. In addition, before the Spanish Governor's Office sent people to Pingyi City to negotiate with the Xinming Governor's Office, and released a message of friendship and kindness.

Of course, this is because Spain was strongly suppressed by the Ming Dynasty in Asia and North America, especially after losing the land of Luzon, the Spanish Kingdom had no choice but to bow to the Ming Dynasty and change its initial tough attitude to a cooperative attitude.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the Ming Dynasty was much calmer in the Xinming region and southern Spain. Moreover, as Pan Mengyuan's request for the Kingdom of Spain was approved by the other party, the commercial exchanges between the two countries gradually deepened, the border situation between the two sides eased, and the business atmosphere became stronger.

From the above situations, it is not so easy for the Ming Dynasty to set up a province in Xinming. Both internal and external factors must be carefully considered. These are also mentioned by Zhang Han when explaining the situation in Xinming with Wang Dong.

With the cooperation of Pan Mengyuan, Zhang Han and others, Wang Dong knew almost exactly what Xinming was doing. However, although Wang Dong was relieved, he would not believe in Zhang Han's words at the same time.

It’s not that Wang Dong didn’t believe Zhang Han. The attitude and behavior shown by Zhang Han has proved that he is not only credible, but also capable, otherwise Pan Mengyuan would not have valued him so much.

Although Wang Dong was in charge of naval affairs for so many years in the Military Affairs Office, he was also not unfamiliar with government affairs. So no matter who said it, Wang Dong was just a reference. When he first came to Xinming, the most important thing was to gain a foothold and then find out the situation. After he had a complete understanding in his heart, Wang Dong would start his follow-up actions.

During the few days in Wanghai City, Wang Dong not only had a detailed conversation with the chapter, but also met other officials in Wanghai City, including some chamber of commerce stationed in Wanghai City.

At the same time, Wang Dong ordered the fleet to officially take over the naval power of Wanghai City to determine his job as the governor of Xinming.

According to the imperial decree, Wang Dong was the highest official in the court in Xinming, and Zhu Yigui was the assistant to Wang Dong to command Xinming's army. But there are also differences among them. After all, Wang Dong had higher powers, and the original return of the army was under the jurisdiction of Wang Dong.

Therefore, although Zhu Yigui had already started to take over military affairs after arriving in Xinming, he did not dare to interfere in Xinming's navy. This is also because of Zhu Yigui's intelligence, so it is legitimate to Wang Dong arrives in Wanghai City and directly take over the naval power of Wanghai City.

After resting, Wang Dong's fleet left Wanghai City and headed south on the sixth day. His next stop was Sun City.

Sun City is located in the south of Wanghai City and belongs to the central part of the western region of the North American continent. According to the map location of later generations, Sun City is actually located in the area close to San Francisco.

As for the eastern part of Sun City, Pingyi City is roughly located around Carson City in later generations. The choice of Pingyi City as the capital is mainly due to military factors, because the east of Pingyi City is Stone Mountain, that is, the Sierra Nevada Range, and the west is connected to Sun City, which has convenient transportation between the north and the south, and there are water and lakes around it, so we chose to build a city here.

This time, Zhang Han accompanied Wang Dong to board the flagship. As the coastline went south, the weather gradually became warmer.

By the time they arrived at Sun City, the temperature was already very comfortable, and Sun City was sunny all year round. It was another great weather when they arrived. Looking at Sun City under the sunshine, even Wang Dong had to admit that this place is called Sun City and is truly worthy of its name.

As the salute sounded, Wang Dong's fleet gradually leaned towards the dock. At this time, Zhang Han, who was standing on the deck, showed a slightly surprised expression, but the surprise flashed by, and then he reminded Wang Dong beside him.

"Master, Pan Shuai is here, look!"

"Is Pan Mengyuan coming?" Wang Dong was slightly stunned, then looked at the dock carefully. When he saw clearly that the dock was indeed under the banner of Governor Xinming, and he also vaguely saw a man in purple standing in front of everyone, Wang Dong smiled.
