Chapter 967: Brave New World

Just when everyone was excited.

The lookout officer with a telescope sent out the bad news: "The enemy ship has raised the white flag...... White Flag ......"

White flag......

Like a thunderbolt from the sky, the bronzed faces of those who sharpened their knives and dreamed of becoming rich through hard work began to turn white.

"Son of a bitch!" Someone roared.

……

The scum of the world is on the king.

Xu Jing has been elevated.

The huge sail was raised, and the logo of the human scum Wang Bushi was particularly eye-catching.

At this time, Xu Jing wore a scarlet cloak, and the hunting sound was blown by the sea breeze, and the generals were lined up to stand by.

Five years ago, Yang Fan went to sea, and the huge fleet, with countless seafarers and sailors, once again arrived at the new continent, this time the task was more difficult than before.

In the past, it was just exploration, but this time, it is necessary to set up countless strongholds along the way, only in this way, can the route be truly opened, and every key place along the way needs to leave personnel, so that they can build fortresses, prepare warehouses, and leave behind personnel, they must prepare water and food, and supply ships along the way at any time.

This is not only a need to establish a base for ships to berth, but also to establish a communication channel.

Of course, the most important thing is that after arriving in the New World, the people who stayed behind have begun to come into contact with the local natives.

The local natives, friendly, still communicate with them, and if they have ill intentions, they will fight with them.

Last time, hundreds or thousands of people were left behind, but when the fleet arrived again, people were surprised to find that these people were not miserable, except for many people who died of illness, and their lives were actually very pleasant.

The nearby natives, the combat effectiveness is extremely low, these left-behind people, once angered a very large tribe, was besieged by thousands of natives warriors, and the people who stayed behind, with one as ten, as soon as the cannon sounded, the natives were suddenly defeated, all the way to chase and kill, like a tiger into the flock, the natives have no war horses, not even iron tools, and they have not yet invented the wheel.

As a result, the natives did not have any experience in the operation of large corps, because once the scale of the operation was carried out, the grain, grass and baggage became a problem, and it was necessary to have chariots and horses to carry a large amount of grain to the front line.

They are more of a group of stragglers, and they can summon many soldiers with a single call, but these soldiers have no experience in coordinated operations at all.

The personnel left behind were not elite military horses, with their swords and firearms and several artillery pieces, they were able to win successive battles, and their own damage was negligible.

The natives had no choice but to sue for peace and offer a large amount of gold.

Wait until a much larger fleet arrives.

After taming some natives, under the leadership of the natives guides, three 'expeditionary forces' of hundreds of people began to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Golden Continent.

They drew maps, grew their knowledge along the way, found countless fertile land, and learned about many gold veins according to the exchanges of the natives, and finally ...... The results obtained...... It's especially gratifying.

This piece of land may be even more vast than the Ming Dynasty, and not only that, but the land is especially fertile......

The map left by the eunuchs of the Three Treasures is completely correct, this is a fertile soil, enough to carry another Ming Empire.

Xu Jing returned this time, and there were more than 3,000 people left.

Some people, bumpy all the way, really unwilling to sail back, and in that continent of hope, a Ming town with the help of the people left behind, has been built, there are farmhouses, and even began to have a preliminary textile industry, they even began to make wine, reclaimed the land, completely guaranteed that they will never starve to death, almost every year is abundant, there, the climate is pleasant, they even began to try to trade with the natives, I have to say, there is a very wooden person, have become good at business, because...... Any commercial goods of the Ming Dynasty have become rare treasures in the eyes of the natives, and they are willing to exchange them for expensive gold and silver.

A huge plan had already begun to take shape in Xu Jing's mind.

At this time, he was like an arrow, and after learning that he had encountered the enemy, he seemed a little impatient, and was about to give a clear order to annihilate him, but the banner soldiers came quickly: "Ambassador, the thief army...... Raise the white flag! ”

Xu Jing's face softened, he stood up, his scarlet robe, hunting, he rolled up the cloak behind him, and pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist: "Send someone to board the ship, capture the ships and personnel, count the goods and gold and silver on the ship, and continue to set off." ”

"Yes!"

Above the ocean, there must be a master.

This person must be tenacious and must be supported by everyone.

Xu Jing said in one word, which is comparable to a holy decree!

"Other ships, don't stop, continue to march!"

Woowoo......

The horns buzzed, and the nearby ships, hearing the movement of the main ship, also blew their horns one after another, like a relay, and this order was constantly conveyed.

Francois is already a fierce rival of the Ming Navy, which is almost the same in the vast ocean, in the Golden Continent, in Kunlun Continent, and in the Western Ocean.

Especially in the Golden Continent, it is reported that ...... The Franco-Rang people have established strongholds in the north and south directions of the Ming stronghold, they have already begun to trade, no, to be precise, they have begun to plunder, they arrived at the Golden Continent much earlier than the Ming Dynasty, and their homeland, which is much closer to the Golden Continent, is also much closer than the Ming Dynasty.

Especially when they perceived the threat of Daming in the Golden Continent, they began to pay attention to the competition for the Golden Continent.

The Golden Continent is so big that although they both know each other's existence, in this vast land dotted with each other, even encounters between each other have become difficult.

Therefore, according to the news obtained by Xu Jing, the king of Spain was more vigilant about what happened in the Golden Continent, and the colonization of the Golden Continent became more urgent, and the huge fleet began to continuously send soldiers and people into the Golden Continent.

More strongholds began to be established, and countless cruel and murderous people, under the banner of the cross, began to sweep through the Golden Continent, and they were extremely cruel to the natives, and from the original slow implementation, began to become the slaughter of the whole tribe, the whole tribe.

The arrival of outsiders also caused various epidemics to begin to circulate in the Golden Continent.

At this time, Xu Jing's attitude towards the Francophone people completely changed.

This time, he stayed in the Golden Continent for more than three years, just to arrange everything and take precautions.

He ordered people to find iron ore, and at the same time ordered people to mine it, smelt it, and at the same time, build weapons. He left behind a large number of ships to fight, and even, befriended some of the nearby native tribes and introduced them as foreign aid.

And these are not the key, the key is that he must return to the imperial court to seek greater support.

His reliance is ......

Beneath the bilge of these ships, there is untold wealth.

"Teacher...... I'm Xu Jing...... It's back! Xu Jing raised his head, his eyes sank like the water of an ancient well, after experiencing too many things, the waves in the world could no longer disturb his heart.

………………

Rails began to be laid.

Smelting rails is the most difficult, but laying is much easier.

Horse-drawn carriages carrying heavy loads to bring the rails to the place.

The laborers, who had already laid the roadbed, waited for the rails to be built, and then shouted to move the rails down, and after splicing, they took the wrench and tied it to the sleepers with huge screws.

This rail, which happens to be the width of the wheel base of the carriage, is not wide, and now ...... It's surrounded by people who are pressed by the press.

In this world, the vast majority of people are good deeds, and when they heard that the best steel was laid on the ground in Xishan, many people felt strange and came to watch.

Fang Jifan personally let one of his dear apprentices pretend to be a thief in front of everyone, wanting to steal the railroad tracks.

Then, in front of the public, a group of people swarmed up, beat him half to death, and then ordered someone to take the iron flail, use the prisoner cart, and exhibit it everywhere.

"Look, look at it, this dog is not as good as something, actually dare to destroy the railroad tracks, the town government has an order, those who dare to destroy the railroad facilities, there is no forgiveness, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Duwei are all kind-hearted people, but we will never tolerate anyone who dares to destroy the railroad tracks, there is one, kill one, on this railroad track, Zhang Zhenren personally cast the spell, don't say it is stealing, that is, there is a bad idea in the heart, in the future, it will also be full of sores and die, cut off children and grandchildren!"

Looking at the bloodied people on the prisoner's car, people were excited, and they wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but after taking one look, they were busy blindfolding their eyes, looking frightened.

The road guard team is about to be formed.

More than 200 people were recruited, and the first one was the guard of the East Palace, with a very high standard, these guys wearing black shirts and swords at their waists, all riding high-headed horses, and what they did every day was to run back and forth on these dozens of kilometers of railway lines.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

Nowadays, people don't have much idea about railroad tracks, so they should beware of people daring to do it, but slowly, after this matter is gradually accepted, there is no need to be so cautious.

Fang Jifan still believes in the military and civilians, after all, ...... Everyone is afraid of death.

A carriage came to a steady stop outside the crowd.

Wang Bushi, the new Hanlin Attendant Scholar, had just been on duty, and he didn't care about his Sven, and soon squeezed into the crowd.

Around, there are whispers everywhere.

"What is this?"

"How much silver does it take to lay a mile of railroad tracks, Fang Duwei, how luxurious is this, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road."

………………

Chapter 1, so weird, have you been a troll lately? It doesn't seem to be on TV.
