Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 508 Across the Continent
The world is becoming more connected at a speed and in a way that no one has imagined.

The Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and restored the country. It also released the Western Qing Dynasty, which was also influenced by modern technology and thinking, and came to Eastern Europe, showing its fangs to the countries and nations here.

The Ming Dynasty sailed around the world, and stories happened with different countries along the way. The establishment of the Bangladesh-Myanmar Consolation Division, the establishment of trade colonies in Africa and India, and even the emergence of the Consolation Division in Europe and the new countries under the Commonwealth Confederacy all heralded a Nations and even individuals are increasingly affected by events that may happen thousands of miles away.

Bai Mingxiu's current life always feels a little messy, because he is actually living the lives of three people.As the emperor, he knew what the cabinet was doing, held meetings occasionally, and then went to college and fell in love; as the commander of the Global Fleet, he needed to manage various affairs in the fleet, and strive to expand Ming's national influence and complete the System tasks; and as a great escort, Bu'an, Bai Mingxiu was not idle.

Riding a group of white horses, Bai Mingxiu moved carefully on the rugged and steep mountain road as Bu An.Strictly speaking, this is not a road at all, but Bai Mingxiu had to cross it.Around him were seventy or eighty escorts, all of whom were weathered and looked quite tired.

"Boss, there is a tribe at the bottom of the mountain here, shall we go there later?" Chang Mao in the escort group asked Bai Mingxiu.

Bai Mingxiu thought for a while and said, "Go ask, if the other party has some fresh food, we can exchange some with them."

Now Bai Mingxiu is the leader of this escort group. This escort group of 80 people set out from Long Live City and its destination is New Amsterdam on the other side of the mainland.

In this era, wherever the expedition team traveled, those places basically belonged to the country of the expedition team.Nowadays, Europeans know very little about the North American continent, and few people have set foot in this area. The people who live here are all brave and capable Indians.

The development of Long Live City is very smooth, and more and more people come here.However, Chinese culture is still very particular about living in groups and living in groups. New immigrants often like to gather around the developed areas and then slowly expand out.The habit of Europeans is to go all the way outside like spreading sesame seeds.

From the perspective of occupying a new territory, Ming Ren's approach is definitely inappropriate.Therefore, Bai Mingxiu keeps mobilizing his bodyguards to advance deep into the North American continent. They will first go to a place and establish a stronghold. If there is a gimmick in this place, such as any mineral deposits, or suitable for farming, then the immigrants behind will come. Followed.

Of course, the purpose of Bai Mingxiu's cross-continental journey as Bu'an is to welcome the arrival of the Daming Global Fleet in New Amsterdam, so as to thoroughly confirm Daming's sovereignty over this area.

In fact, the sovereignty of the land around the road that Bu An walked will also belong to Daming. Bai Mingxiu hopes that through this method, Daming will gradually enjoy the sovereignty of the vast land in North America.

The Treaty of Madrid also stipulated the dividing line between Mexico and the Ming Dynasty. Basically, the Ming Dynasty claimed the vast Midwestern United States where the Europeans had not yet made any colonial moves.

From the West Coast to the Great Lakes, and from the Great Lakes to New York, even if it was impossible for Ming to build thousands of towns and send a large number of immigrants to occupy them, at least he should at least provide some basis for his claim.

Bai Mingxiu also designed a set of "human wall tactics", that is, sending immigrants directly across the vast central and western wilderness, and establishing colonies in the eastern region where conditions are suitable, forming a "human wall" to squeeze the living space of European colonists. Let them not go to the wide Midwest.Even if the fertile fields of the great plain could not be utilized at all, Bai Mingxiu would rather build a colony next to the European colony.After all, living space is also a future resource that can be left to future generations.

Bai Mingxiu led the escort team down the mountain, and finally saw the Indian tribe at the foot of the mountain.

The Indians spotted them too, and the crowd of knights made them nervous.This was, after all, the mid-seventeenth century, and the region hadn't even been visited by Europeans, and the Indians had no horses.

"The accent sounds like the Cheyenne tribe of Alkungang." Said Cai Tingjun, a system translator who is proficient in all Indian languages.

Bai Mingxiu nodded, and led Cai Tingjun to the tribe.

Bai Mingxiu's brother, Fangou, looked at the panicked men and women in the tribe over there, and said, "I don't know, can I exchange wine for a woman or something."

Changmao sneered at him and said, "Just these native women, can you still go down?"

Fangou pouted his neck and said, "It's been a long time since there's been no meat. If it's not a sow, it will be enough."

Bai Mingxiu scolded: "Don't be presumptuous."

After all, escorts are not real soldiers, but a group of free and unfettered guys.As the head of the family, Bai Mingxiu is naturally able to control the people under him, but sometimes he doesn't have to suppress them too much.

The Indians are still very simple. Cai Tingjun expressed friendship to them on behalf of the bodyguard group, and gave them a few worthless gifts, but after they looked very precious, the Indians took out their food to share with the bodyguards. share.Indian girls are also extraordinarily daring. Even if the two sides do not understand the language, they still come outside the tribe, singing and dancing with escorts.

Bai Mingxiu, on the other hand, was sitting very calmly by the campfire.

At this moment, Cai Tingjun brought a young Indian boy over.

"Boss, this young man said he wanted to come with us."

Bai Mingxiu glanced at the young man. He was a little thin, but the expression on his face was particularly determined.

"Take me away, the tribe can't tolerate me, they say that I am not blessed by the gods, but a person who brings disaster, they exclude me, let me do the hardest work, even if I am the best in the tribe A hunter. Give me a bite to eat and I will be your guide."

Bai Mingxiu could tell that this young man did not seem to be hypocritical. His expression was full of dissatisfaction with the current tribe and life.

Bai Mingxiu was very curious and asked, "Why did you decide to go with us when you first met us? Can't you go to other tribes?"

"Other tribes will also dislike me and say that I am a scourge. You are outsiders, you are wanderers on the land, hunting animals and collecting berries to live. You do not reject people like me, so I can go with you .But if you guys bully me too, I'll leave on my own."

Bai Mingxiu found it interesting and asked, "Okay, what's your name?"

"Pour Esso."

Cai Tingjun explained: "It means cat."
