Chapter 838: Hanwei City

The medical scientists refused to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and everyone wanted to develop a miracle drug for malaria, which went down in history, and in the end it could only be handed over to Huang Han to decide.

Huang Han also had no good way, in order not to hurt the enthusiasm of many medical scientists, he could only decide to stay with the mud according to the order of registration, because Wu Youxing ranked first among the doctors, so he got what he wanted.

The most difficult thing to solve was not that those medical scientists were competing for places, but that his mentor Xu Guangqi personally went to Huang Han's mansion in Seoul after learning the news, and strongly requested to set off with the fleet.

Where did Huang Han dare to let Xu Guangqi cross the ocean, because Huang Han was a prophet, and Xu Guangqi should have been an ancient man for more than four years in the original history, and now it is a complete departure from history.

Xu Guangqi, who plays Tai Chi every day and eats and rests very regularly, looks like he is in good spirits, but Huang Han refuses to keep him away from his sight no matter what.

No matter what the teacher said good things, Huang Han resolutely did not let go, and in the end, both sides took a step back, and Huang Han agreed to get Xu Erjue, the eldest grandson of Xu Guangqi's true inheritance, to run for his grandfather.

"Hanjiang University" organized a group to participate in the voyage, and Academician Wang Zheng, who was nine years younger than Xu Guangqi, pulled down his old face and asked to lead the "Hanjiang University" team to participate in scientific research.

Wang Zheng, a scientist, was in good health, and in history he died of hunger strike after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

He is good at using water power and wind power, and has invented too many inventions, such as self-grinding, bicycles, wheel pots, substitute farming, wind wheel turning, windmills traveling far, cloud ladders straight up, cloud ladders flying obliquely, gas feet and so on.

Now the steam engine project grasped by Wang Zhengzhu, Song Yingxing, and Shen Cunli is the focus of the research of scientists at "Hanjiang University", which is of course also due to Huang Han's golden finger, and now there are laboratory products.

Even though it is difficult to withstand high pressure due to the inability to weld, the boilers in several experiments in the laboratory are still able to withstand ten standard atmospheres, and it is possible to reach this level to drive the wheel propellers.

It is believed that within two years, the first steamship powered by a steam engine will be launched for sea trials at the "Tiger's Den City" military dock.

Seeing that Academician Wang Zheng was so eager to go to the Americas to expand his territory, Huang Han took the opportunity to ask him to promise to bring a concubine to the Shen family, so as to take care of his diet and daily life, and tactfully advised Wang Zheng to keep his faith in his heart, and whether there is a concubine or not is harmless.

Wang Zheng was very strange, he really didn't know how the general knew everything about his family affairs, he blushed and promised Huang Han to accept the concubine Shen and go to sea together in the future.

Nanxu and Beiwang were great scientists in the late Ming Dynasty, and Huang Han, who loved to read Ming history, had read records about Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng had a wife and a concubine, and the concubine Shen was quite virtuous, but because Wang Zheng believed that taking a concubine violated Catholic rules, he decided to marry a concubine to atone for his sins, but his wife Shang tried to keep it, and the concubine Shen swore to death and refused to remarry.

Since then, the concubine Shen has remained in the Wang family, but there is no longer a husband and wife.

What is commendable is that after Wang Zheng's hunger strike, Shen, who also committed suicide by hunger strike, accepted the plea of Wang Zheng's wife, Shang, and temporarily gave up suicide to support the Wang family.

A few years later, Wang Zheng's wife Shang died and his son died.

Wang Zheng's two grandsons were raised by the Shen family, and on the 70th birthday of the Shen family, the eldest grandson Wang Yaoyan, who had already reached adulthood, invited the famous eunuchs in the township to congratulate him and give him a soup.

Shen Shi saw this but was sad, she claimed that the reason why she endured humiliation and secretly lived was because of the mother who entrusted her with orphans, and now the responsibility has been fulfilled, so she died without eating.

Such a chaste woman deserves to be happy, and Huang Han deliberately put forward the conditions euphemistically when Wang Zheng asked for something.

Wang Zheng is an iron-clad man, his words are like a mountain, since he promised to treat the Shen family well, of course he will not break his word, and he wants to get a good life for decades after coming to the Shen family.

Shi Daxuan has been in the sea for more than 20 years, and he has rich sailing experience.

His eldest son Shi Lang is now the general of the cavalry, and the second son Shi Xian has become the acting general, and his loyalty is beyond doubt.

After Shi Daxuan got the task of sailing tens of thousands of miles, he saw the list of people who participated in the voyage, and felt honored and at the same time felt that the responsibility was heavier than Mount Tai.

Lin Minghai once went to South America as an interpreter for the Dutch East India Company, and he led dozens of young intellectuals to learn foreign languages, and language is not an obstacle.

Wang Yuqi is a technical authority from Daming Longjiang Shipyard, and has mastered more new technologies and new knowledge in the past seven or eight years, and has a few treasures for the construction of various ships.

With him leading more than 300 craftsmen to sail away, even a warship full of holes can be repaired as new.

The number of voyage ships was as high as 13,000, including a battalion of marines under the command of Yu Fei, and 800 young men with their families.

Huang Han's instructions were to complete the task of finding cinchona trees, rubber trees, sunflowers, flower seedlings, and breeding, and occupy the Spanish colony of the Viceroyalty of New Granada, which was later Panama.

Drive out all the natives, build a city first so that you can occupy that place forever in the future, of course, the city will not be called Panama, Huang Han gave it the name "Hanwei City".

This is the advantage of Han colonization, because with the demographic dividend, important places can be completely done without leaving any natives, and it can avoid the outbreak of indigenous rebellion in the future.

The first act of colonization in the Americas was to occupy the Panama region that operated in later generations, and the benefits of the Panama Canal are known to everyone on the earth, and it is not a problem to flow gold and silver in the future.

When the expeditionary fleet returns, a third of the ships and half of the marines will be left to hold on to the territory they have gained, and the next year there will be a large number of immigrants arrive, and there will be ships and soldiers to replace the remaining troops.

The next step was to expand until the entire narrow continent of Central America was completely occupied, making it a land where the Han Chinese lived and multiplied.

After establishing a foothold in Central America, the next step was of course to expand into North America, and the Indians were probably far inferior to the Jiannu and Mongols.

In the future, there will be no shortage of Jiannu and Tartars who surrender to the "Red Banner Army", and organizing tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to conquer the Indians should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Huang Han did not need to massacre Indians on a large scale like the Americans in history, and the United States implemented a series of cultural and genocidal policies against Indians, killing tens of millions, possibly tens of millions.

The First Regiment of the U.S. Army has been its basic mission since its inception and has been fighting Indians for a century.

Slightly different from the Ming Dynasty's military exploits of beheading the enemy, the Americans implemented a scalp policy, and a young Indian over the age of 12 could receive a bounty of 100 US dollars from the United States.

That's why there were bounty killers in the United States who got rich by slaughtering Indians, and there were Westerns that were all the rage in later generations.
