My Daming New Empire

Therefore, within a month of their departure, they arrived at the west coast of Canada in later generations.
All this surprised Yi Xin, and Hou Xian was even more surprised.
This can be said to be the most relaxing voyage of the Ming Fleet. The whole journey was either smooth or smooth, and there was no storm.
What's more, the speed of this journey far exceeded their imagination, because their average daily voyage distance reached six to seven hundred miles, which is a very terrifying statistic.
Of course, Zhu Zhanji didn't know what they were thinking, if he knew, he would laugh at them again in his heart.Six or seven hundred miles a day is only more than 300 kilometers, and the average hour is only fifteen kilometers.
According to the map and information provided to them by Zhu Zhanji, they quickly located their location not far from the area where His Royal Highness said that people from the Song Dynasty were said to be living there.
After determining its position, the fleet sailed towards the island.
After mastering the positioning of the sextant, when there is a world map, a globe, and most of the areas are divided and drawn.
Sailing the sea is still dangerous for others, but for Da Ming's fleet, as long as there are no storms or big waves, there is not much danger.
However, just as they were about to reach their destination, a storm hit, and the fleet was immediately blown northward by the strong wind.
More than 200 ships were divided into three teams and lost contact. The two main generals, Hou Xian and Yi Xin, were also blown away because they were not on one ship.
Because Yi Xin was at the forefront, he suffered the most damage when encountering a storm.His fleet had the smallest number of ships, with less than fifty ships, which were blown to a bay before barely landing.
But when it docked, more than a dozen ships were still lost, but most of the ships can still be repaired.
Yi Xin didn't panic, he was already mentally prepared for this situation when he went out to sea, and arranged the rescue mission in an orderly manner.
Only then did he have the heart to observe the bay.This is Dongzhou?Or the islands outside Dongzhou?
"My lord, we found a few ships, like battleships from the Mongol era..."
With a wave of confidence, Yi found the clue so easily?
It was still raining heavily outside, but at this time, Yi Xin didn't even care about it. He didn't even put on the coir raincoat brought by his subordinates, so he got off the boat and ran towards the place where Meng Yuan's ship was found.
It is now June, which is the hottest time of summer, and the damage caused by this heavy rain is not great.
Soon, he saw several decayed ships stranded on the beach, but from the style, he could still see the style of the Central Plains.
He turned his head and said loudly: "When the wind and rain stop, in addition to sending a fleet to find other ships, the others will scatter around and look for the locals."
Chapter 88 Discovery
Yi Xin didn't know that his landing by chance would reveal a secret that had been covered up by history.
In later generations, scientists from various countries have confirmed from DNA, race, and blood that many Indians and Eastern Asians belong to the same race.
World anthropologists generally believe that the Indians mainly migrated from Asia to America through the Bering Strait between 5000 and 2 years ago.
Intuitively, many Indians look like Chinese.
In the photo of the Inuit children in Alaska, the boy with the bun is no different from the children in North China.
There are also Indians in the jungles of Central and South America seen in some pictorials. You would think that they are ethnic minorities in southern China.
There is no doubt that most Indians (including Eskimos) have the characteristics of the yellow race: black and straight hair, yellow skin, spade-shaped incisors, and babies born with hips that are not found in whites and blacks. Cyan birthmark.
Throughout the American continent, from Canada and Alaska in the north to Peru and Chile in the south, there are many tribes with distinctive characteristics of Orientals, including culture.
The mother of American civilization, the "Olmec civilization" in Mexico is inseparably related to the culture of the Shang Dynasty in China.
King Zhou’s son Wu Geng (referred to as Father Lu in the historical records) and other members of the royal family fled to the American continent to multiply after they failed to launch the “Three Prison Rebellion” with Wu’s younger brothers Guan Shu, Cai Shu, and Huo Shu in the early Zhou Dynasty. cultural relics.
That being the case, skeptics argue, why, apart from a few oracle bone inscriptions, why didn't the American continent have more pictographs, not even wheels?
Generally speaking, people have never denied that Asians set foot in America, because in the northwest of Canada, Mexico, including Peru in South America, there are records left by some tribes to confirm that the ancestors of the people here came from Asia.
However, it would be far-fetched to say that all Indians are of Asian origin.
All of this was covered up in history because of the genocide of American Indians by white people.
Before white people set foot in America, there were more than 3000 million Indians in America, and more than [-] tribes.
But in later generations, almost all these tribes disappeared, and no one could restore the truth of history.
But now, the entire America has not been invaded by white people, and the people on this continent are still growing wildly freely.
Yi Xin didn't focus on finding people at the beginning, but first sent the fleet to cruise in different directions, hoping to find companions.
Before the fleet set off, various preventive measures had been formulated. In such a situation, the first thing to do was to gather the fleet and find companions.
It only took them five days to find all the lost companions, but because many of their ships were damaged, they had to wait for a while to rendezvous.
Because of the discovery of ships from the Mongol and Yuan era, they immediately decided to change their course and use the place where Yixin landed as a temporary base to look for the local natives.
Holding a map of the Americas, they were told by Zhu Zhanji when they set off that their landing location should be in Vancouver and Seattle in later generations.
Because only here, there is a gap that runs through the Andes Mountains of the American continent, and from here it enters the central part of North America, and even the east.
Apart from here, throughout North America all the way to Mexico in the south, there are endless mountains, plateaus, and deserts, blocking the way.
The Great Lakes region in central North America, where there are endless plains and countless rivers, is the most suitable land for farming.
But here, it is not the main settlement of Indians, because the center of Indians in the Americas is Mexico in the south and Chile in South America.
Why this is the case is mainly due to the weather.
Most Indians do not have perfect textile technology. The Inuit in the north use animal skins to make clothes, but in the cold season, there are still countless casualties.
For them, cold weather is their worst enemy.
Therefore, most people live in the tropics, even if the land there is not suitable for farming.
The Indians without wheels have a small range of activities and poor needs. For them, warm weather is far more important than fertile farmland.
But now they were blown to the archipelago to the north, but they didn't expect to meet the descendants of the Mongolian Yuan who traveled east.
Yang Dao went to sea this time, although he was only a general, but as a student soldier from Habayashi Guard, he was the most valued knowledge general in this era.
So there were twenty steam sailboats out this time, and he was assigned to five.Including a first-class warship, three second-class warships, and a coal carrier.
In addition to the sails, this kind of steam sailboat also needs a large number of soldiers. The thousand soldiers under him undertake more work than the soldiers on other ships.
When the storm comes, other ships can only lower their sails and drift with the current, but the steam ship is different, it can still move forward against the wind and rain.
This also prevented the twenty steam sailing ships from suffering much damage, only a few masts were broken.
This also allowed Hou Xian to see the superiority of this steam sailing ship, but the fact that it could resist violent storms showed the superiority of such a ship.
