Later, in the later stages of the westward movement, the Indians united to fight the whites, and even entered the stalemate phase. But as soon as the war stabilized, a new problem arose, that is, the nomadic life was completely unable to provide the food needs of the united tribes, and the Indians had to divide again, and finally the whites broke them individually.

The reason why the Indian population has never been able to increase is that they are not proficient in cultivation. Lack of stable access to large quantities of food. If there is a large and stable source of food, population growth is inevitable. This greatly increased the difficulty of the white conquest of the Americas.

Therefore, the people sent by Liu Pei were not prepared to occupy the land, but to teach the Indians relatively rudimentary medical skills and planting methods. At this time, the white people were just beginning to land, and it would take more than a hundred years for the climate to form. So before the number of whites grows, increasing the number and heritage of Indians is the top priority.

As long as the population of Indians increased, it would be a powerful deterrent to the invasion of whites. When the time comes, Liu Pei will wholesale some guns and ammunition and other things to the Indians, even if he can't drive them into the sea, he will confine them to a small range and will not form a huge country.

At the same time, Liu Pei sent cultural and educational personnel to impact the native culture of the Indians with oriental culture. In the case of the fragile native culture of the Indians, the vast and profound Chinese culture can easily overwhelm their culture. It will come true in the Americas and a new Chinese cultural circle.

And with the increase in immigration, it may really be incorporated into Liu Pei's empire. Even if it wasn't incorporated into Liu Pei's empire, it was an enclave influenced by Chinese culture. In short, this is an idle chess. Regardless of success or failure, there is no loss to Liu Pei. The biggest loss is the loss of a fleet. It is half or the entire North American continent. Moreover, Liu Pei estimated that in the future, the Americas may occupy a part by themselves, and the Indians and whites each occupy a part, forming a situation of confrontation between the three families.

For this voyage, Liu Pei prepared the most complete nautical charts and navigation equipment for them. Even the situation of ocean currents is marked on the chart! As long as they follow the currents, they will save at least more than Westerners in their coming and going

It takes two 2-4 months.

After Liu Pei returned to Shandong, he directly devoted himself to the preparation of the expedition fleet. Liu Pei has to ask about everything, after all, this is related to the life and death of everyone in a whole fleet. Moreover, this voyage is not only related to Liu Pei's plan, but more importantly, it is an overall test of Liu Pei's fleet. With the experience of this voyage, Liu Pei's fleet will grow even more rapidly.

For this voyage, the Academy of Sciences also came up with the latest research results, which is canned food. In fact, canned food first appeared in France during the reign of Napoleon.

In 1795, the French government offered a large reward for the preservation of food for the needs of the war. A Parisian baker in France, Nicolas Abate, succeeded in his research in 1804. He preserves meat and soybeans in glass jars, lightly corks them to ensure that gases can enter the jars, and then heats them in hot water and cooks them. Allow the food in the bottle to boil for 30-60 minutes, remove and plug the soft stopper while it is hot, and seal with wax.

Nicolas Abate presented his invention in 1809 to the then Napoleonic government. And made a batch of canned food. After months of sea transportation, supermarket and scorching heat, this batch of cans still tastes delicious when opened and eaten!

When Napoleon found out, he immediately summoned him and gave him a bonus in person. Immediately after receiving the bonus, Abate invested in a canning factory and opened more than 70 kinds of cans.

Liu Pei also equipped the ship with a large number of compressed dry food and dehydrated vegetables in sealed packages. But Liu Pei specified that these things can only be used when there is no way. In peacetime, the fleet was required to use the methods of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible to solve all problems that arose in navigation.

On this day, on Liugong Island, where the mountains move overseas, the flags cover the sky and the gongs and drums sound in unison! Because Liu Pei held a grand farewell ceremony for the fleet here.

On the surface of the sea, the fifteen ships of the fleet were each dressed in red and painted in red, and their majesty was unusual! Every one of their planks was polished. The sailors who are ready to sail stand on both sides of the ship and salute Liu Pei!

After Liu Pei came to the dock, a middle-aged strong man took a dozen

Individuals come in. He is the supreme commander of this fleet, named Xing Yunjie. He is a local fisherman and has a good knack. Later, because of his familiarity, he was recruited as a sailor on a merchant ship.

Because he is very good at summarizing and learning, he often asks the cargo owner for teaching words when he is sailing, so he has a good literary foundation. The best thing is that even if he has had a dream of sailing since he was a child, so he can stand out from the crowd.

When Liu Pei started in the navy, he was hired as one of the instructors at a large cost. Later, Liu Pei's team expanded, and he was also promoted with the rising tide. After being promoted, Xing Yunjie was still willing to learn new things. So he has been one of the several main instructors in the Navy. And because Xing Yunjie acted steadily and thoughtfully, he is now one of the deputy ministers of Liu Peijun's Ministry of Education.

This time he heard that Liu Pei wanted to organize a fleet to sail, so he signed up without hesitation. He had the most thorough understanding of the purpose of Liu Pei's voyage, so when he answered the examiner's question, he said: "This is not just a voyage, this is our first step in exploring the world!" Only when we see the world clearly can we have the right to divide the world! ”

Therefore, when Liu Pei saw this, he immediately appointed him as the supreme commander of the entire fleet. Today is Xing Yunjie with 15 captains to meet Liu Pei.

After greeting each other after the two sides met, Liu Peicai turned to the topic and said: "Everyone, this voyage will be an action that will go down in history!" Your name may be glorious through the ages with this voyage! You will be another group of people from my Ming Dynasty who will go to the open sea and explore the world. The unfinished business of the Three Treasures will be completed by you! I'm so proud of you! The ancestors of China will also be proud of you! ”

Everyone listened to Liu Pei's praise, and their faces were festive! The mood that was still a little apprehensive also relaxed. Some people have even dreamed of their names being written in the history books.

Xing Yunjie said: "Commander, please rest assured! Although I am not completely sure of this voyage, I am still 80% sure. After all, the charts you gave are very detailed, and the equipment is also very powerful! With them, I am absolutely confident that I will complete this voyage! ”
