Chapter 444: Farmland Reclamation Team

"Come on! General Hoden fainted! The first mate shouted loudly, but no one paid attention to him, and they all ran for their lives, jumping into the water "poof, puff, puff".

The first mate himself could not stand steadily, because the battleship began to tilt, and the air was filled with the smell of charcoal, and suddenly, a mast that had just been burned fell down, and the mast that was still burning flew sideways towards the sailors who were diving and fleeing for their lives, and five or six sailors were smashed and screamed, seeing this scene, he couldn't care about General Holden, it was still important to flee for his life!

The small battleships in the back were now headless flies, and lost their unified command, some battleships were busy turning around, while others were rushing forward at an accelerated pace, and the phalanx was in chaos, and two of them collided together, and more were huddled together and lost their direction.

The three battleships opened fire in unison, and a deafening explosion sounded again on the sea for dozens of miles, and a monstrous wave broke off on the sea, and the smoke of gunpowder shrouded the sky over the Dutch fleet.

In the face of such heavy artillery, the Dutch knew that if they did not surrender at this time, there was only a dead end.

I don't know which battleship raised the white flag, and then many warships followed suit, and all the eleven warships that remained on the surface of the sea stopped resisting.

Zhao Zhengnan gave the order to stop shooting, and the whole sea finally returned to calm, and the three battleships slowly surrounded it, and released fifteen speedboats to accept the surrender of the Dutch.

After solving the frigate, the three battleships began to pursue the one hundred and twenty Dutch merchant ships, some of the merchant ships were still delusional at first, and he didn't want to think about it, if he could run again, he could still outrun the steam engine battleship?

In the end, he had to be obediently taken prisoner.

This battle not only achieved brilliant results, but also greatly accelerated the development of Huaxia in the Americas.

China defeated the Dutch and captured 131 ships, which became the first sail carriers of the American Fleet, and they undertook the task of transporting the inland rivers and coasts of Long Island.

The Dutch fleet was a fleet of African slaves, and one hundred and twenty merchant ships were loaded with African slaves, numbering as many as 30,000.

I don't know how these Dutch did it, the ship that could only carry 10,000 people was now stuffed into 30,000 black slaves.

The Dutch originally intended to trade African slaves to the Americas to make money, and they could earn at least 500 guilders for a black slave, and these black slaves were all plundered from Africa.

What they didn't expect was that since it fell into the hands of the Huaxia Navy. It should also be their short life, Gao Junshan has already given an order, meet Westerners, see one and kill another, no matter what country they come from. Among those Westerners, there was also a Chinese, this Chinese seemed to have a premonition of death, and shouted desperately in front of the marines, and I don't know what he shouted, the marines brought him to the company commander Mo Qiufeng.

Mo Qiufeng asked, "Where are you from?" ”

This person didn't seem to understand Mo Qiufeng's words, the chicken and duck spoke in the local dialect, and a soldier seemed to understand the dialect he said, and said to Mo Qiufeng: "Company commander, he seems to be speaking Hokkien." ”

"Really? Why can't I hear it? Mo Qiufeng looked at the Chinese with puzzled eyes, and the man nodded hurriedly.

Mo Qiufeng said to the soldier, "Go and call Lao Geng to see if he can understand." ”

The soldier went to call a companion named Lao Geng, and Mo Qiufeng asked, "Lao Geng, you can say a few words to him to see if he is speaking from your hometown." ”

Lao Geng first looked at the Chinese, and then asked, "Where are you from?" (Hokkien)"

"I'm from Hokkien (much like Hokkien)"

Lao Geng asked, "Why are you saying so ugly?" ”

The Chinese man said embarrassedly: "Although I am from Fujian, I was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, so my hometown dialect is very unauthentic, mixed with a strong Dutch flavor. ”

Lao Geng nodded and said, "Although your accent has changed, I can still understand what you mean, you should be our Chinese and there is nothing wrong." ”

"Can you not kill me?" The Chinese man's eyes were full of begging.

"What's your name?" Lao Geng asked.

"Xu Yingcong (much like Hokkien)"

Lao Geng didn't understand what his name was, so he turned around and told Mo Qiufeng: "He is Xu Qiu, and he is from our hometown." ”

Mo Qiufeng said to Lao Geng: "You are my translator now, I have something to ask your fellow countryman." ”

"Please ask the company commander."

Mo Qiufeng asked Xu Yingcong: "You came with these Dutch, do you speak Dutch?" ”

"Yes, I've been studying in the Netherlands since I was a kid."

Mo Qiufeng said: "In this way, I will send you to the headquarters and translate for us, are you willing?" ”

"Yes, as long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything."

Mo Qiufeng sent Xu Yingcong to the headquarters, and Ma Jin heard that there was another Chinese among the Dutch, so he immediately summoned Xu Yingcong and learned about African slaves from Xu Yingcong.

For what to do with the African black slaves, Ma Jin was completely confused, they didn't know who these black people were, some people suggested that these black slaves should also be killed together, Gongsun Hao tried his best to stop the killing of black slaves, now he understood that those black people were not Westerners, but African black slaves, Ma Jin had to report to Gao Junshan, and the emperor would come up to judge the life and death of these black slaves.

Gao Junshan received a telegram from Ma Jin and immediately called Ma Jin back, saying that none of the African black slaves were allowed to be killed, and they could be used for my use.

How to use these black slaves, Ma Jin has no experience at all, fortunately Xu Yingcong is here, how to manage the black slaves, Ma Jin handed over all the things to him to do.

A month after the elimination of the Dutch fleet, Ma Jinpan came to the 10,000-ton giant ship of Huaxia Kingdom, this 10,000-ton giant ship was the first 10,000-ton giant ship launched in Huaxia Kingdom, and soon after it was launched, Gao Junshan sent this 10,000-ton giant ship to Britain, and after completing the British mission, he directly crossed the Atlantic Ocean and came to the Americas.

This fleet brought 15,000 immigrants to Ma Jin, as well as a large number of tools necessary for cultivating the farmland, such as cattle, seeds, and agricultural tools, as well as steel and cement for the construction of the city, salt and cloth for the common people, guns and ammunition for the army, and coal for the steam engine, as well as the items listed in Makin's list, including thirty new high-power transmitters.

In accordance with Gao Junshan's instructions, Ma Jin set up 300 farmland reclamation teams, each of which was headed by a team leader, equipped with 30 peasant households, and the peasants were issued with guns, and 10 Indians, who were allowed to carry spears, bows and arrows, and 100 African slaves, who had no personal freedom.

The reclamation team crossed the cordon set up by the Dutch and entered the territory of the Indians, and the Indians were the guides to go deep into the heart of the Americas and establish Chinese farms.

The status of the Indians was higher than that of the African slaves, and they were also tasked with managing the African slaves.

As long as they can find coal mines in the Americas, they don't need to transport coal from China, and if they can find coal mines, many things can be done, such as steelmaking, railroads, and power plants......
