Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Zhu Hui, the patriarch, had accompanied Zhengren and Tokugawa Iemitsu to Beijing since Denglai, and said with a smile, "What Mr. Tokugawa wants to ask is the Yellow River Bridge, right?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and said, "Yes, Iemitsu is actually curious. How much manpower and material resources will it take to build such a bridge, and how long will it take to build it?"

Zhu Hui said with a smile: "I am an official of the Clan Mansion, and I really don't know much about the bridge. However, since Mr. Tokugawa is interested, I will tell you what I know. .

The construction of this bridge started in the 14th year of Chongzhen, and it was not considered to be completed until the autumn of 17th Chongzhen. It cost about 20 million taels of silver and about [-] manpower. As for the materials, the original The official is not clear. "

Tokugawa Iemitsu and Masahin looked at each other, feeling the powerlessness in each other's eyes.

20 people were used to build a big bridge, [-] million taels of silver, and a bridge more than ten miles long and about three feet wide. These are beyond the imagination of the Japanese people.

In the prince-class carriage where Xingzi was staying, Xingzi, who had temporarily taken off his hijab, was also observing all this.

Xingzi knew in his heart that these Daming nuns and other bodyguards and others respected him only from his status as Princess Liao, not from his status as Queen of the Wa Kingdom.

In other words, if he does not have the status of Princess Liao, then these people probably look down on him.

But what is the solution?They have the qualifications to look down on anyone. As the people of the kingdom of heaven, they can be proud, and they can face any foreign race with their nostrils upturned, because there is a powerful country behind them to support them.

Everything I saw and heard along the way proved this point.

Those Western barbarians who had seen before lowered their heads in front of the people of Ming. They wanted to make way for the people of Ming, even if they were only facing a commoner.

This feeling of powerlessness and admiration reached its peak after Xingzi and his party arrived in the capital.

It seems that the capital city that has been entrenched between heaven and earth since ancient times is full of people. No matter those Ming people who held their heads high or those cautious Western businessmen before, they are all retreating, and they are all giving way to their own cars. A large number of officials are here. The roads in the city are dredged, just to ensure that my frame can reach the imperial city smoothly.

All of this has never been seen in Wa country, and no one can even imagine it.

The wedding ceremony is a normal ceremony for a prince to get married. After the wedding, he went to the Liao Palace. This building, which was even bigger than the Wa Palace, brought great pressure to Xingzi.

In the future, I will be the mistress of this palace?

Zhu Cixiu has no interest in Xingzi, his dignified eldest son actually married a foreign barbarian as his concubine, this is simply a big joke!

Even if it was for the vast land of the Wa Kingdom, even if marrying Xingzi would bring him countless benefits, Zhu Cixiu was still unhappy.

If you want the land of the Wa country, you can just lead your troops to get it in the future. Why should you let yourself marry a barbarian prince?

After the wedding, Zhu Cixiu took Xingzi, Mao Wenlong and others back to Sakhalin Island.

Compared with the land of the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Cixiu cared more about whether Zhang Xianzhong and others could find any large land or other good things after their long voyages.

After all, Sakhalin Island is his own fiefdom, and if there is any good thing, he will definitely not lose his own share. Instead, the things in the Wa country are just waiting for him to get them, so there is nothing to care about.

Mao Wenlong and Zhang Xianzhong once again organized a huge fleet and started sailing east again.

For this voyage, Zhang Xianzhong and others did not care about those savages playing with wolves, but repeated the previous voyage route, starting from Sakhalin Island and heading east all the way.

Thanks to several additional supply points along the way, the fleet led by Zhang Xianzhong finally found a piece of land this time - after nearly half a month of exploration, they still couldn't find the end. This should be a continent rather than an island.

There are traces of human life on this continent. Although there are very few, some people have proved that there must be laborers here, and there is value for continued development.

As for whether the "workers" here can also play wolf, Zhang Xianzhong doesn't care.

Unlike the big island last time, the value of land is much higher than that of islands. It doesn't matter even if someone is playing with wolves, the worst thing is to kill them all.

After leaving behind a soldier of the guard and a large amount of supplies, Zhang Xianzhong took the fleet back to Sakhalin Island again, and continued to transport troops and supplies.

Zhang Kewang led a guard of more than [-] people and began to dig holes on this land.

First, we searched for a few untouched places to dig and bury a large number of things from the Yongle period and the Tang and Song Dynasties—this is the experience summed up by Tang Wang Zhu Yujian and others. Whenever a piece of land is found, something must be buried on it. , to prove since ancient times.

Then they began to build cities, build houses, and reclaim land—the entire fleet brought a lot of seeds, and some crops on the ship itself had already germinated, so they simply made a piece of land to plant.

It’s impossible not to plant something, no matter how tall or big the city is, it feels uncomfortable not to plant something.

……

"Barbarian! Barbarian!"

Zhang Kewang, who was farming, was overjoyed by the news brought back by the panting scout.

He had already discovered the traces of people living here. Although those traces were pitifully few, it proved that there were not many barbarians here, but for Zhang Kewang, it was not a day or two for him to wait for the barbarians to come.

After gathering all the soldiers, Zhang Kewang stood at the front of the line: "Listen up, the fucker, now some barbarians are coming to our side, and finally someone is here to help us build the city, damn it! Kill the spirit!"

Zhang Kewang's words caused the soldiers to burst into laughter.

Able to fight, whoever is full enough to eat is willing to be a craftsman to build a city - obviously he has never learned this skill, it is okay to temporarily build some thatched cottages and the like, but it is fine to build a city, it is not possible at all.

As for the craftsmen who can build the city, it is estimated that they will have to wait for the fleet to return from Sakhalin Island. Before that, people like themselves have to find a way to solve the problem of losing their homes.

Now that there are barbarians, the work of building the city and building the residence can be thrown to these barbarians, and he can concentrate on killing people and earning military merits.

Jackson Cartier and a group of people under him were a little confused.

Didn't your father discover New France?How could there be other people here?It seems that they also plan to settle here?

This is no good, the great King of France has not agreed with you to live here, you'd better lead the great Cartier family to the Far East - don't think that the great Cartier doesn't know you, you must be from the Far East!

The barbarians on the opposite side showed a certain demeanor, or meant to communicate, which made Zhang Kewang very confused-don't you guys just start fighting?Why don't you come here to dry your hair?

The interpreter who was left behind suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the barbarians on the opposite side speak. This is almost the barbarian language he is most familiar with, and it seems that this kind of language is very popular in the western barbarian world.

After Zhang Kewang listened to the interpreter's translation, his expression suddenly turned bad: "Tell them, this is my land since ancient times in the Ming Dynasty, since the Song Dynasty, and the eunuch Sanbao has also been here.

By the way, tell them that we have enough evidence in our hands. If you don’t believe me, ask them to dig there next to it, and they will definitely be able to dig it out. "

The interpreter wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then translated Zhang Kewang's words, which made Cartier feel a bit confused.

My father originally planned to go to the Far East. I know this, and it is also in the family records, but isn't this land called Stadakona?When did it become the territory of a Far Eastern country?

Also, you can't take the great Cartier as a fool. You haven't been here for decades, and now you just came out and declared this place to be your territory?

But Cartier decided to give in first, and it would be best to let these Far Easterners lead him to find the legendary Far East full of gold and silver: "Well, even if this was your land before, we want to go to the Far East now." Your country trades, can you show us the way?"

Zhang Kewang laughed and said, "We can talk about things like trade later. Now we should figure out the ownership of this place. Is it my Ming's land or your French's?"

Cartier said: "Perhaps, this place used to be. But you have abandoned this place for decades. There is no doubt that this place is now the land of France."

Zhang Kewang shook his head and said: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king? No matter how many years we have abandoned this place, this place is still my Ming's land. You see, we have enough evidence."

Facing the rags from the Tang and Song Dynasties that Zhang Kewang ordered someone to bring over, Cartier's eyes flashed with greed: "But, who can prove that you didn't bury these things yourself? Now, this is the land of France !

If you are willing to take us to your country in the Far East, maybe we can sit down and discuss slowly, otherwise, I, Cartier, will definitely represent the great King of France and drive you away! "
