Chapter 589: The Age of Discovery

"Ahem, there is a sentence below, I don't know whether to say it or not." At this time, I saw a relatively thin and dark-skinned official walking out of the crowd.

"Mongol, you say." At this time, Fusu, who was sitting on the Diaoyu Tai, spoke.

The Meng man in front of him is not Meng Tian or Meng Yi, but Meng Tian's nephew Meng Fei. If you don't talk about the sea, no one is more qualified than Meng Fei. Meng Fei has been adrift on the sea all these years, and I don't know how many nautical charts he has drawn for Daqin.

From Sanhan, to Ryukyu, to Fuso, the reason why Daqin was able to capture so many places is that it can be said that the nautical chart drawn by Meng Fei can definitely be said to be a well-deserved first achievement.

And because Meng Fei has been adrift at sea all the year round, in the eyes of others, Meng Fei and Han Xin are different. Han Xin's ability to become the mainstay of Great Qin was completely the result of Li Chen's promotion, while Meng Fei was a member of the family, and at most he could only be regarded as a member of half of Li Chen's faction.

"None of you have been to the other side of the sea, but you have gone down. At this time, I would like you to read the chart I drew first, and then talk about it, right? With that, Meng Fei handed over a nautical chart.

Meng Fei's sea drawings are very detailed, including Europe, Africa, Australia, North America, and South America in previous lives. It can be said that except for the South Pole and the North Pole, almost all the continents in the previous life were drawn by Meng Fei.

Moreover, Meng Fei didn't know whether he drew these places, and also noted the environment, specialties and other detailed information here. For example, Africa is rich in gold, Australia is rich in rubber, and so on.

Seeing this chart, not to mention these Great Qin officials who had never seen the world, even Li Chen felt a little shocked.

Good guy, I'm straight good guy.

In the textbooks of his previous life, Columbus discovered the New World. But Mont Fei can be called Columbus Plath, who discovered all the New Worlds.

Good guys, this is directly a change of career for Columbus. Li Chen felt that Columbus might not be able to sail in the future. Because Meng Fei discovered all the continents that could be discovered, so that Columbus had no continents to discover.

After everyone had finished circulating the charts in turn, these officials in Great Qin could be said to be panting one by one. The content on the chart really shocked them, and whoever said that overseas was a barren land in the future would greet them in the face without saying a word.

This fucking barren land, just talking about that Africa, damn it, it's a golden treasure.

"Hit, I'm determined to eat Africa, even if Jesus comes, I can't save it." At this time, the vast majority of officials had already made up their minds.

At this time, Fusu spoke: "What my father's heart was thinking about before his death was to let Daqin's black dragon flag be planted in the place where the sun and the moon shined, in the past, Daqin did not have the ability to sail, but now that Daqin has it, I Fusu will inevitably complete my father's hospital." ”

Fusu spoke, which basically means that the expedition is a sure thing. And Fusu has pulled out the name of the first emperor, and whoever is opposing it now is looking for death.

In Daqin, this kind of thing is naturally decided by Li Chen. There is no doubt that Fusu called this matter to Li Chen again.

Since the matter had been handed over to Li Chen, Li Chen immediately gathered his civil and military officials and began to formulate a new round of five-year plans. Now, no matter what happens, Li Chen is a backhand is a five-year plan. For Li Chen, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a five-year plan, and if there is, then there are two.

Soon, a new five-year plan was formulated. The target of Daqin's new round of expeditions is the African continent, and the main reason why it fights Africa is because there is gold in Africa. Africa is the world's largest producer of gold, and there is no doubt that gold is the most expensive in this era.

The Governor system, which was a new colonial system designated by Li Chen. Every time Great Qin conquered a new territory, it would build a military base there, and the head of the military base was the governor. In addition to paying enough resources to Daqin every year, the governor controlled all the local people's livelihood and military.

Of course, this kind of military and political grasp is bound to have a big tail in the end. Therefore, Li Chen also set a five-year rotation system. Each governor serves only five years, after which he rotates among himself.

This is a relationship of competition for posts, for example, if your previous governor pays more materials than you every year, then the current governor will naturally not be able to give an account to Daqin. This is a very benign competitive relationship, those who have the ability to go up, and those who are not able to go down.

The ironclad ship and the governor system allowed Great Qin to completely open its own era of great navigation, or it can be said to be the era of great colonization.

Colonize, occupy resources, and feed back to Great Qin, in this way, Great Qin almost owns the resources of the entire world, so how can Great Qin not develop rapidly.

In the first year, a full thirty ironclad ships were launched, and Daqin relied on these thirty ironclad ships to start the first round of ocean-going warfare against Africa.

In the second year, after the experience of the first year, Daqin's ironclad production technology was greatly improved, and a full eighty ironclad ships were launched in this year. With these eighty ironclad ships, Great Qin began to achieve great victories in the African theater.

In the third year, this was the year when Great Qin was in full swing, and with the successive addition of one hundred and twenty ironclad ships, Great Qin had basically controlled all the coastal areas of Africa. Nowadays, the African continent is not only occupied by Daqin's ironclad ships in the ocean, but also Daqin's ironclad ships in the inland rivers.

......

......

In three years, Daqin actually used scientific and technological power to occupy almost all the rich lands in Africa. In this war, the casualties paid by Great Qin were less than 10,000.

At this time, Africa was still in the midst of tribal civilization. So the African savages wrapped in animal skins, holding blow arrows and stone spears are simply vulnerable to Daqin, who is armed with muskets and strong ships and cannons.

In the war to conquer Africa, there were even more than ten Great Qin soldiers, chasing tens of thousands of African savages.

The colonial era of Great Qin began, and more and more people began to pan for gold in the newly occupied territory of Great Qin. In the same way, these resources were transported to Daqin, and the entire Daqin became extremely prosperous.

Today's Great Qin can almost be said to have a big change once a year. The ever-changing Great Qin, even the changes made Li Chen a little unexpected. All the people of Great Qin have enjoyed the glory that the people of Great Qin deserve.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chen has gone from being a young man in his twenties when he first arrived in Daqin. has become a middle-aged man in his forties, time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, even his own children have grown up.

As the so-called tiger father has no dog son, Li Chen's two sons are now in the army, and it can be said that they have all contributed to the great colonization plan of Great Qin.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chen's three children have reached the age of getting married. Over the years, the dignitaries of Xianyang City have asked a lot about their children's situation. Not to mention the two sons in the army, the girl who dances and plays with swords all day long at home is also coveted. This person who proposes marriage, it can be said that the threshold has been broken.
