Chapter 967: Brave New World
Just when everyone was excited.
The lookout staff holding the telescope sent bad news: "The enemy ship raised the white flag...the white flag..."
white flag……
It was like a bolt from the blue, those who sharpened their knives and were delusional to get rich, their bronze faces began to turn white.
"It's a bitch!" someone roared.
...
The king of scum on earth is not on the official title.
Xu Jing has already been promoted to the position.
The huge sails were rising, and the sign that the king of scum on earth was not an official title was particularly eye-catching.
At this time, Xu Jing was wearing a scarlet cloak, which was blown by the sea breeze, and the generals lined up to stand by.
Five years ago, Yang Fan went to sea and his huge fleet, with countless seamen and sailors, arrived at the new continent again. This time the mission was even more difficult than before.
It was just exploration before, but this time, countless strongholds were needed along the way. Only in this way can the route be truly opened. Every key waterway along the way needs to be left behind, and people are asked to build forts, stocking warehouses, and left-behind personnel must prepare clear water and food to supply ships along the way at any time.
This not only requires establishing a stronghold for ships to berth, but also establishing a communication channel.
Of course, the most important thing is that after arriving in the New World, the left-behind people there have begun to contact local natives.
The local natives are friendly and still have any communication with them. If they have ulterior motives, they will fight with them.
Last time, hundreds or thousands of people stayed there, but when the fleet arrived again, people were surprised to find that these people were not living miserable. Apart from the death of illness, their lives were very pleasant.
The locals nearby had extremely low combat power. These left-behind people once angered a huge tribe and were besieged by thousands of native warriors. The left-behind people took one as ten. When the cannons fired, the locals were immediately defeated and chased them all the way, like tigers entering a flock of sheep. The locals had no war horses or even iron tools, and they had not invented the wheels.
This led to the fact that the natives had no experience in combating large corps, because once large-scale operations were fought, food and supplies became problems, and they had to have chariots and horses that carried large quantities of grain transportation fronts.
They were more of a group of scattered soldiers. With a call, they could summon many soldiers, but these soldiers had no experience in collaborative combat.
The left-behind personnel were not elite soldiers and horses. With their swords, muskets and several cannons, they won consecutive battles, and their own injuries could be ignored.
The natives had no choice but to seek peace and presented a lot of gold.
Wait until a larger fleet arrives.
After taming some natives, under the leadership of native guides, three "expeditionary forces" with hundreds of people began to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Golden Continent.
They drew maps, grew their knowledge and found countless fertile lands, and learned about many gold veins based on the exchanges of natives. The results they finally came up with... were particularly gratifying.
This land may be larger than that of the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, the land is particularly fertile...
The map left by the eunuch of Sanbao is completely correct. This is a fertile land that is enough to carry another Ming Empire.
Xu Jing returned to the voyage and was there again, leaving more than 3,000 people.
Some people were unwilling to return to the voyage all the way. In that land of hope, a town in the Ming Dynasty, with the help of left-behind personnel, had been built, with farmhouses, and even a preliminary textile industry. They even began to brew wine and reclaim the land they reclaimed completely to ensure that they would never starve to death, and were abundant almost every year. There was a pleasant climate, and they even began to try to trade with the natives. It has to be said that no matter how dull a person is, he has become a good businessman, because... any commercial goods in the Ming Dynasty have become rare treasures in the eyes of the natives, and are willing to exchange them with expensive gold and silver.
A huge plan has begun to form in Xu Jing's mind.
At this moment, he was as eager to return. After learning that he had encountered the enemy, he seemed a little impatient. He was about to issue a clear order to annihilate it, but the flag-speaking soldiers came quickly: "Report to the ambassador, the bandit army... raise the white flag!"
Xu Jing's face calmed down, and his scarlet robe sounded. He rolled the cloak behind him and pressed the hilt of his waist: "Send people to board the ship, capture ships and personnel, count the cargo and gold and silver on the ship, and continue to set off."
"Abide by the order!"
There must be a dominant person above the vast ocean.
This person must be tenacious and must be supported by everyone.
Xu Jing made a statement, which was comparable to an imperial edict!
"Other ships are not allowed to stay and continue to move forward!"
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
The horns buzzed up, and the nearby ships, hearing the movements of the main ship, also blew the horns one after another, as if they were relaying. This order was constantly conveyed.
Franjiren is already a strong enemy of the Ming Navy. This is almost the case in the vast ocean, in the Golden Continent, Kunlun Continent, and in the West.
Especially in the Golden Continent, it is reported that... the Franji people established strongholds in the north and south directions of the Ming Dynasty stronghold. They had already started trade. No, to be precise, they began to plunder. They arrived at the Golden Continent much earlier than the Ming Dynasty, and their local area was much closer to the Golden Continent than the Ming Dynasty.
Especially when they realized the threat from the Ming Dynasty in the Golden Continent, they began to pay attention to the competition for the Golden Continent.
The Golden Island is so big that even though they know each other's existence, they even have a difficult time encountering each other in this vast land that scattered around.
Therefore, according to the news obtained by Xu Jing, the Spanish kings were more vigilant about what happened in the Golden Continent, and the colonization of the Golden Continent became more urgent. The huge fleet began to continuously transport soldiers and population into the Golden Continent. Not only that, they tried to sign contracts with the countries of Franchise. They had always regarded the Golden Continent as the king of Spain's back garden, and seemed to intend to use the help of various countries to gain an advantage in the Golden Continent.
More strongholds began to be established, and countless cruel and easy-to-kill people began to sweep across the Golden Continent with the cross flag. They seemed extremely cruel to the natives. From the original slow implementation, they began to become the massacre of the entire tribe and the entire tribe.
The arrival of outsiders has also caused various epidemics to begin to spread in the Golden Continent.
At this time, Xu Jing's attitude towards Franji people had completely changed.
This time, he stayed in the Golden State for more than three years, and arranged everything and prevented it.
He ordered people to find the iron ore, and at the same time ordered people to mine, smel, and at the same time, to build weapons. He left behind a large number of combat ships, and even handed over some nearby native tribes to attract them as foreign aid.
And these are not the key. The key is that he must return to the court to seek greater support.
His reliance lies in...
There are countless wealth under the bilge of these ships.
"My teacher... I, Xu Jing... are back!" Xu Jing looked up, his eyes sinking like the water of an ancient well. After experiencing too many things, the waves in the world could no longer disturb his heart.

The rails began to be laid.
Smelting railway tracks is the most difficult, but laying them is much simpler.
A carriage with heavy loads will deliver the rails to the place.
The workers who had already laid the roadbed were waiting for the railway tracks, then shouted and moved the railway tracks down, spliced them, took out the wrench, tied them to the sleepers with huge screws.
The rails happened to be the width of the carriage's wheel spacing, and they were not wide. Now... there are people surrounded by black people here.
Most of the people in this world are good people. When they heard that the West Mountain had put the best steel on the ground, many people found it strange and came to watch.
Fang Jifan personally made his dear disciple pretend to be a thief and wanted to steal the rails in front of everyone.
Then, in public, a group of people rushed forward and beat him half to death. Then they ordered people to take the iron shackles, put them on the prison cart, and exhibited everywhere.
"Look, look at it. This thing that is worse than dogs, actually dares to destroy the rails. Zhenguo has an order. Those who dare to destroy the rail facilities will be killed without mercy. Our Prince and Wei Fang are both kind-hearted people. They will never tolerate anyone who dares to destroy the rails. One of them will kill one. On this rail, Zhenren Zhang personally cast the law. Not to mention stealing, even if he has evil thoughts in his heart, he will die in the future and will die of a thick sore body, and his sons will be cut off from his grandson!"
Looking at the blood-stained people on the prison car, people were both excited and wanted to get closer and take a look more, but after a glance, they hurriedly covered their eyes, making them look frightened.
The road protection team is about to begin to be established.
More than 200 people were recruited, and the leader was the guards of the Eastern Palace. They were of very high specifications. These guys wearing black shirts and knives on their waists rode tall horses. What they did every day was to run back and forth on this dozens of kilometers of railway line.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
Nowadays, people do not have much concept of railway tracks, so they should beware of someone's courage, but gradually, after this matter is gradually accepted, there is no need to be so cautious.
Fang Jifan still believed in the military, civilians, after all... everyone was afraid of death.
A carriage stopped steadily outside the crowd.
The new Hanlin Bachelor of Education Wang Bushi had just received the deposit. He didn't care about his kindness and soon squeezed into the crowd.
There were whispering discussions everywhere around me.
"What's this?"
"How much money does it cost to lay a mile of railway tracks? Fang Duwei, how luxurious is this? The rich people smell wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death."
