Chapter 531, Colonial Stronghold Selection

"Exempt~Exempt~"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand very casually.

"Your Highness Xie~"

The three of them hurriedly thanked them respectfully, and then looked at Liu Jin and saluted: "I've seen Gongzi~"

"Hmm~"

Liu Jin nodded with a smile on his face.

Sun Xin, Tian Erniu, and Zhao Monkey stood respectfully, still very excited in their hearts.

What a privilege it was for them to have the opportunity to be summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person.

You must know that they used to be peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and they existed at the lowest level of society, but now they will meet His Royal Highness the current Prince, and their ancestors are all smoking.

"I called the three of you over this time, and I also have something to explain~"

Liu Jin looked at the three of them, thought about it and said.

"Childe, please command~"

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly said respectfully.

When I came, I actually already knew, and there must be something to explain, and it was so.

"Sit down first, and we'll talk slowly."

Liu Jin nodded, signaling that the three of them didn't have to be polite, and Liu Jin also asked Xiao Huangmen to bring three stools, and the three of them sat down respectfully and listened carefully.

As for Zhu Houzhao, he is still appreciating the busyness of Tianjin, and he never cares much about these trivial matters, just leave it to Liu Jin to deal with.

"Tian Erniu, Zhao Monkey, the two of you are about to set sail for the Golden Continent again, this time, your task is heavier."

Liu Jin looked at Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey, this trip to the Golden Continent is naturally indispensable to the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company, and this time, the fleet size of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Bank is the largest, with hundreds of large ships going to the Golden Continent.

Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong led the team to the Nanyang region, so this person was selected and selected, and in the end, Liu Jin still chose Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey to lead the team.

The two of them have been to the Golden Continent, and they are both old men under their own hands, and the people who have been cultivated and promoted by them are very relieved and can be qualified for this task.

"This time, you go to the Golden Continent, and the main task is to establish a colonial base~"

"The first colonial stronghold is set in Fish Creek~"

Liu Jin opened a map and circled a dot on the location of Yuxi.

Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey listened carefully, Liu Jin asked them to come over and explain the matter, then this matter is very important, absolutely listen carefully, firmly record in your heart, and do things well.

"Yuxi is an important point to go to the Golden Continent, and there are gold mines and many resources in Yuxi, which has great development value."

"The only downside is that it's too dimensional, and it's too cold in winter, so you'll have to take that into account when building your base."

"Next, you need to establish at least three strongholds here in the Golden Continent, a stronghold here at the mouth of the Thousand Rivers (the location of later Vancouver), a stronghold here at Golden Bay (later San Francisco), and the last stronghold is to be established here at the mouth of the Golden River (later Central America)."

Liu Jin circled three places from north to south on the west coast of the Golden Continent.

These three places are the places where Du Mingen led the team to arrive last time, and they are also the places that are highlighted.

Because the location of these three places is very important, and more importantly, there is a lot of gold and silver around these three places.

Gold and silver are definitely the most powerful motivation for the Ming people to go to the Golden Continent now, and there are no two things, even if they have established a stronghold, there is no way to attract people to the Golden Continent in a steady stream.

Of course, Liu Jin's consideration is a little more far-reaching.

Qianhekou, Jinwan, Jinhekou these three locations cover the entire North Golden Continent region, and in the future, the entire Golden Continent of the Ming colony will continue to expand eastward from these three strongholds, and will eventually compete with the Europeans who established a stronghold on the east coast of the Golden Continent for the hegemony of the entire Golden Continent.

The location of Qianhekou is located in Vancouver, Canada, where the climate is humid, the land is fertile, and there are a lot of mineral resources.

Needless to say, Golden Bay is the territory of Uncle Sam in later generations, and across the Rocky Mountains you can reach the endless Great Plains, whether it is used for grazing or reclamation, it is the best land on this earth.

As for the Golden River Estuary, it is located in the middle of the Golden Continent, that is, the place where the Middle America was later born, which is the place with the largest production of silver and gold in the world, and also has extremely rich animal and plant resources, and can be used as a base to continue to invade the entire South Golden Continent in the south.

This time, Liu Jin was not in a hurry to establish a stronghold covering the entire west coast of the Golden Continent, and next time he could go all the way to the south, constantly establishing strongholds along the way, and then occupying the entire west coast of the Golden Continent.

Finally, with the addition of strongholds in Australia and the South Seas, a colonial system was formed that surrounded the entire Pacific Ocean.

"Qianhekou, Jinwan, Jinhekou~"

Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey both silently remembered these three places, they had been to these three places, so they were very clear about the situation and location of these three places.

"This time I went to the Golden Continent, bring more cement to the past, and when I established a stronghold, the stronghold didn't need to be too big at first, and a small castle was almost fine, so I had to choose a good location."

"Easy to defend and difficult to attack, in addition, we must set up turrets, wall battlements, etc., these descendants of Yin Shang in the Golden Continent, they are fierce and unruly, although we are actually a family, but they may not really be willing to recognize us."

"If we want to occupy the entire Golden Continent, we will inevitably have a conflict with them, and then there will inevitably be a long bloody war, so we must consider this in advance."

Liu Jin explained carefully and clearly.

For the descendants of Yin Shang in Jinzhou, Liu Jin really wanted to assimilate them, after all, it is very likely that they are all a family and the same ancestor.

But judging from some of the movies known and watched by later generations, these descendants of Yin Shang are wild horses who are used to freedom, they don't like restraint, and they are fierce.

In the process of the Europeans occupying the Golden Continent, they fought again and again, and many people died, if it were not for the advanced firearms, and the descendants of the Yin Shang themselves had no resistance to smallpox, cholera and other infectious diseases, under the invasion of Europeans, large-scale deaths under these diseases.

Otherwise, the Europeans may not have been able to completely occupy the Golden Continent.

Daming wants to occupy the Golden Continent, on the one hand, it is natural to carry the banner of being close to the descendants of Yin Shang, and on the other hand, it is also to be prepared, learn from the Europeans, and kill when it is time to kill, and not be merciful, otherwise this great Golden Continent will be handed over to the Europeans.

"Yes~"

Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey nodded solemnly, Liu Jin's meaning was obvious, these Yin Shang descendants can be used, but they can't be fully trusted, and they must be prepared to break with them.

The conquest of the Golden Continent cannot rely on the Confucian set.

Benevolence, righteousness, morality, money, dung, and so on, these things will not work, and only by learning the bandit spirit of the Europeans can we do it.

If you can't fight, you will rob, and if you can't fight, you will do business, but this is not good, and that is not good, so you will make a trick, such as using a crow ~~ piece or something.

Anyway, it's shameless, just money and land.

If you want to have a face, you can't lay a foundation for future generations, you can only watch others eat and drink spicy, and what plans do your descendants do~~plan·~~Sheng~~~~Educate~.

"We established a stronghold to serve our colonial plans in later generations, so the stronghold we established on this side of the Golden Continent must find a way to purchase grain from the descendants of those Yin merchants, and we also want to reclaim land and grow food on the Golden Continent."

"You can make a promise to everyone, so those who participate in the establishment of the stronghold can get a thousand acres of land on the Golden Continent unconditionally."

Liu Jin thought about it and said.

If the colony wants to live, it still needs people in the end, and if it wants to attract people to the past, gold, silver, and land are all indispensable.

Liu Jin also once again showed his ability to draw flatbread, anyway, this land is also in the Golden Continent, in the past, you can get a thousand acres of land, as long as you can fool people over, as for the future, if people go to the Golden Continent, it will be successful.

Anyway, the land here in the Golden Continent is fertile, and there is a lot of gold, silver and the like, Liu Jin believes that as long as these ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty immigrate, they will definitely not want to come back.

The first people to attract the past are these people who go to the gold panning, and after they taste the sweetness, they will continue to bring their families, relatives and friends and so on.

If you want them to settle down in the Golden Continent with peace of mind, it doesn't matter if you give more land, flicker, or flicker, first fool people over.

"1,000 acres of land~"

When Sun Xin, Tian Erniu, and Zhao Monkey heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes slightly, the area of this thousand acres of land is very large, and as long as they participate in the establishment of a stronghold, they can get a thousand acres of land, such a good thing can be done.

"I'm fooling people again~"

"Lao Liu's ability to fool people is really amazing~"

Only Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing after hearing it.

The world outside the Ming Dynasty is very big, and it has not yet been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so Liu Jin took it out to fool people, and this shameless degree is really admirable.

"But flickering is flickering, flickering, flickering, flickering, if you can incorporate the Golden Continent into my Ming Dynasty's territory, then it's okay."

Then Zhu Houzhao looked at the prosperous Tianjin in front of him, a few years ago, it was still a barren land, and it was also fooled by Liu Jin to come here.

A lot of money was smashed down, and a prosperous Tianjin was smashed, and the silver invested in it was also recovered a hundredfold or a thousand times.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but want to go to the Golden Continent to have a look.
