Later, after I calmed down, I seriously thought about why they should go to the north to establish a homeland, in fact, it was not a hasty decision, but it should be said that it was psychologically determined, so I blurted out.

First, the North – and I mean modern-day America and Canada – is still largely untouched and vast in strategic depth than the narrow terrain here in the Gulf of Mexico.

Second, the Spaniards were known for their brutality and greed, and the English, though not very honest, were better than the Spaniards, and the Dutch were better than the British.

is also to choose the boss, why not choose to pay attention to humanistic care and have a more easy-going personality?

And thirdly, during this period of time, they have really made a lot of small moves behind the back of the Spaniards at my instigation, and they can't even be considered small actions anymore! Therefore, a hero does not suffer immediate losses, and it must be better to avoid the limelight than to die!

Fourth, it's my own thoughts—Virginia has been in turmoil for decades since its British occupation, and the core cause of this is the severe deprivation of the population.

As I said before, I don't want to use black slaves, nor do I want to use those aristocratic young masters, so the hardworking and brave Indians have become my best choice!

Tamu Tamu, as the leader of the current generation, and Grishargs, the leader of the previous generation, agreed to my proposal after a little thought.

And most of their children belong to the proletariat everywhere, and they have been infiltrated by the unified ideology for a long time, and after this initiative was issued, these Aztec remnants rolled up their sheets and marched to the north!

After deliberation, among them, apart from the older and higher-ranking people brought by Tamu Tamu and Gris Haggs, they set off by boat, and some young and vigorous people who were out of town and needed further contact in need of further contact went to Virginia to join them on their own.

Although it is said that there are thousands of rivers and mountains, for these people who yearn for a peaceful and stable homeland, as long as there is hope, no matter how far it goes, it is acceptable and can be overcome.

In this way, I took nearly a thousand Indians to Virginia first, while the tens of thousands of Aztec descendants packed their bags and began the second great migration since the loss of the country.

In the history of mankind, every large-scale migration has been accompanied by blood and tears, but this time it was taken by the initiative, which has to be said to be a strange thing. And the end result was that this migration was one of the most successful large-scale human movements in history!

When they arrived in Virginia, everyone including Gris Haggs was stunned by what they saw! Thousands of miles of flat, vast land, a thousand times larger than where they lived before! This made the Indians can't help but burst into tears and bow down to the land!

The older the civilization, the deeper the worship and dependence on the land, which is difficult to be widely understood in some emerging civilizations.

Just like when Westerners conquered some ancient civilizations, except for the strange Indian Ahsan, who shrunk his neck and obediently obeyed, other civilizations resolutely resisted.

For example, the Mexicans, the descendants of the Aztecs, relied on the major strongholds including Veraclus to fight against the Spaniards for hundreds of years! At the root of this is the attachment and dependence on the land.

And now, under my guidance, they have migrated out of Mexican territory on a large scale and into the vast lands of the north, and I don't know if this will change history, whether it is right or wrong.

But with the attitude of being at ease, I think it is better to lead them on!

As for why the stone chose me, I always felt that it had something to do with my father, who had re-revealed! But I have no indication of where my father is. The only thing left to do was wait – wait for him to come looking for me next time!

Now that there was no point in me staying in Virginia, I prepared to return to Europe to meet the long-awaited Queen.

But before that, I did a lot of preparation. Because if you want to travel thousands of miles to meet a woman, no matter how old she is, what status she is, or what the purpose of your trip is, you should not forget a gift.

As for the list of those who stayed behind, considering that they involved all aspects of defense, transportation, and gold mines, I decided to leave someone I trusted who could deal with many contingencies.

Left behind is Mavi, and if loyalty takes time and events to test, then he has passed the test perfectly.

And for this sudden appointment, Ma Wei was also sluggish for a while before agreeing with a twinkle in his eyes.

The ships and men left to him accounted for about a quarter of the current strength. This ratio ensures that he can deal with some unexpected situations, and whether he wins or loses, it will not hurt my vitality.

Of course, I also gave him permission to use the mined gold to buy equipment, which was so trusting that Mavi offered to ask for someone to help him because he couldn't afford such a big deal on his own.

In fact, this is also a good way to retreat and show loyalty, and I also approved his choice, and after thinking about it again, I left his old friend, Old Tucker, to him, which can be regarded as a mature team, and it is seamless.

Of course, Virginia was not a good stronghold—too hot in the eyes of the hostile Spaniards, and in the eyes of the British, who were still allies.

So we had to find a reliable, reassuring, less conspicuous base from somewhere else, and we don't know how the Dutch in the north were doing lately, and if it was appropriate, we could evacuate if necessary.

For, after all, I am not a loyal defender of the British, much less a levee standing in the way of the Spaniards. The reason why people are left behind now is entirely because of the gold mine behind them.

And once we found a new and better stronghold, especially after I had warned the Indians to go as far inland as possible and not to settle by the sea, I thought there would be a better alternative to Virginia in the placement of the stronghold.

Counting the days, it should be on the day of the winter solstice of the lunar calendar, we set sail from Virginia, leaving Mavi and Old Tucker here to look after, and the large army began to move north, and the first stop was to find the Dutchmen led by Hanson Young.

The weather was nice and smooth for the past few days, and soon we saw a human harbor-like stronghold along the coastline.

When I landed at this new stronghold, Hansen Young, who had rushed to hear the news, immediately picked us up. After thanking me again for saving me at sea, I met the unlucky Frenchman, the red-bearded captain Auguste Cuomo, in front of his chamber.

It turned out that after I had rescued them at sea, Auguste Cuomo had stayed here and worked with the Dutch to build the nominally century-old harbour, which was still rudimentary and even desolate.

About 100 years ago, in 1492, after Columbus's fleet discovered the land, European colonists set foot on the land to get a piece of the pie.

Of course, the Spaniards shifted their main focus to the Caribbean Sea to the south, because the Caribbean Sea at that time was significantly easier to develop than the North American continent, with less investment and quick results.

So this area became a free port. Italians and then French came to the area, and the agglomeration area formed at that time was adjacent to modern New York, which became the forerunner of today's world financial center.

In 1524, Giovanni Daverrazzano, an Italian employed by France, came to the Bayou area and became the first recorded European to visit what would become New York.

Daverazzano entered what is now the Harbor of New York aboard the Crown Princess, declared it French, and declared it New Angoulême. However, the French navy at this time was still third-rate in Europe, so their local rule was not strong.

Historically, the Dutch only came here in 1602, but with my intervention, they came here eighteen years in advance, and with their great water power, they soon took control of the estuary.

As it is historically called, it was named New Amsterdam.

In the council chamber, Hanson Young looked a little worried. I asked him why I was puzzled, but the Dutch windmill captain sighed and puffed out his cheeks and took three puffs of cigar before coughing and telling me why.

After the assassination of the silent William, the new king of the Netherlands, Maurice, began his journey to dominate the trade routes.

However, it is obvious that His Majesty Morris has set more eyes on Europe, Africa, the Indian Ocean and other places that have been developed for many years, but the new continent regrets that it has not become the focus of the Netherlands' development at this stage.

This coincides with history, and the new king of the Netherlands, Maurice, did not realize the value of this land until eighteen years later. Thus he did not do any real help other than to reward Hansenyan with the false name of a governor.

Therefore, at this stage and even for a long time in the future, Hansen Young, who is alone overseas, is actually in the stage of fighting alone.

Although the Frenchman Auguste Cuomo next to him put on a posture of doing a career here, it is obvious that his power is too small, and he can only add icing on the cake, and he can't do it.

For some reason, a voice whispered to me that this was an opportunity! Great opportunity! Although I didn't fully understand the significance of this opportunity, I still patted Hansen Young on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, my friend! You at least have me! ”

Hansen Young looked at me with wide eyes in surprise and said, "Sun! Would you like to come and build this place with us? ”

Seeing that I nodded, he was first overflowing with joy, then sighed, patted my arm with his backhand and said, "I understand your heart!" My friend! It's a place where strong enemies are around, and the stakes are extremely high, so you don't have to be pulled into the water by me! ”

Hearing this, I laughed and said: "The world only knows how to hold a hot stove, but they don't understand that only holding a cold stove is the real small investment and big return." Don't worry, my friend, I've got someone to stay here and he can help you stabilize the situation! ”

Hansen Young was overjoyed when he heard this! We laughed for a while, but I pulled him into the inner hall with only a few or two henchmen.

After talking about official business, it is natural to talk about private affairs. And this private matter is to pull him into the gang and run the gold mine together.

Then again, after the agreement was reached to develop the land among mutual friends, we had actually formed an offensive and defensive alliance. I was able to recruit him in the gold mine, which naturally meant that I would treat him as my own, but I also needed him to cooperate with me and share the risks.

In the face of great common interests, other details are not worth mentioning, so we quickly agreed on cooperation.

And I only made one request: in a corner of New Amsterdam, I asked for a piece of land, the small island between the Hudson and East rivers.

The island is now nameless, so I gave it a name, which is its real name for later generations - Manhattan!
