The scorching sun in the Americas in July was in the sky, and Yao Qisheng stepped down from the warship and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Starting from the beginning of the year, taking the best boat, Yao Qisheng and his party still took half a year to reach the Americas.

Despite the nautical charts, the completely unfamiliar sea was a challenge in itself for the fleet.

After docking, the sailors of the various ships began to move things down, this is a small island in North America, standing on the island and looking east, you can already see the mainland.

Yao Qisheng instructed to go down and set up a station here, which should be a way back.

No one thought that Yao Qisheng, who swept the Americas in the second year of Tianxi, would still have a period of time to worry about the problem of retreat.

There were already many natives on the island, and these people hid in the jungle and watched secretly.

The Indians were not very xenophobic, or it may be because they did not have the kind of religion that forced people to believe, so when the white-skinned people first came to the Americas, they even received help from the local natives.

Yao Qisheng doesn't need help, his sailor has all the things he brings, they are here to preside over justice....

After landing on the island, Yao Qisheng has a wealth of experience, having landed on hundreds of islands in the South Sea.

"Make a fire to cook, keep an eye on the surroundings, and beware of the natives here."

Zeng Ming was a general of the Denglai Water Division, and led his men to the woods with loaded guns and ammunition, wanting to cut down trees.

After chattering for a while, the natives who were hiding inside chose to come out and meet this strange group of people, wrapped in shabby clothes, naked and painted in the summer.

Zeng Ming was startled, they had never seen any natives in Denglai Water Division, and at first glance they thought it was a demon coming out, so frightened that he almost missed the gun.

"What the hell!"

The others, who heard the movement, quickly surrounded and surrounded the representatives sent by the six natives.

Yao Qisheng walked over slowly, the crowd consciously moved out of the way, and when he got closer, a native began to say something that no one could understand.

Yao Qisheng chuckled lightly and said: "This is the people on the island, it is estimated that they are not educated, and they are still foolish people who drink blood. ”

"Your Excellency, what should I do?"

"Since they are not guilty, how can they deal with it, invite them to the army and try to communicate, after all, we occupy their place."

The six natives were guided to the seashore, and the sailor had already set up a simple shed, and the natives in the distance saw that the six people were eating and drinking in the army, and they all walked out.

For these isolated natives, what they use most of their brains on weekdays is the intellectual game when hunting with wild beasts, and of course they don't know what the art of war is.

Fortunately, this time they met not a white-skinned man, but a Dahua sailor, Yao Qisheng ordered his subordinates to take out wine and meat, and fished out a net of fish and shrimp from the sea, and held a feast on the spot.

The natives came out of the woods to fight the meat, drank the wine of Dahua, and the group of people was happy.

Three months later, Yao Qisheng named the island Wangsheng Island, which means that the saint looked west from here in four years. The island is not small, it is the island of Vancouver in later generations, the seat of the city of Victoria, and the original people of the Salish, Nutka and Kwakutel people, who have inhabited the island for thousands of years.

With its dense jungle and wild animals, it is a natural source of fur.

In the past three months, Yao Qisheng and the sailors almost did not leave the island, they first built a city on the island, established good relations with the local natives, and subdued a group of natives to serve themselves.

These people learned how to plough the land with hoes and improvised wooden ploughs, and even had steam pumps, and there were not many of the Denglai sailors, but there were many inventors and craftsmen.

In the formation of the naval division, there is even a local indigenous soldier, of course, these people are only responsible for some simple non-combat tasks, similar to logistics soldiers.

Because of the strict laws of the Chinese army, even the governor had no right to build up a formed army without the permission of the emperor.

There are thousands of miles from here to Jinling in the Hua Dynasty, and of course Yao Qisheng can't ask for instructions, so he can only let them do some simple cooking, carrying, and feeding cattle and horses.

Through gradual familiarization, some of the sailors gradually mastered the local language and were able to have some simple conversations with them.

Within a few days, many schools appeared on Wangsheng Island....

Yao Qisheng learned Hou Xuanyan's set in Nanyang thoroughly, and has begun to sinicize this big island, and many brown children began to learn Chinese characters and learn to speak Chinese in the school.

The indigenous people here are not polluted by religion, and they are really very hospitable and kind.

Soon Yao Qisheng turned this island into a paradise with a strong Han style, and the sailor was very strong during this time, and the simple arsenal that was moved from the ship was also opened because of the iron ore found.

Yao Qisheng also sent back two ships to the Chinese Dynasty, attracting a ubiquitous Chinese merchant ship to collect furs on the island. Stimulated by huge interests, many merchant ships shot even more reasonably than sailors, their speed was faster, and the sailors were also very professional, and slowly the news of this Wangsheng Island had spread in the country.

The more Han Chinese people came and went, the more these natives saw the civilization behind this group of people that was far beyond their own, and all of this gave them a strong sense of awe.

What's worse is that this group of Han Chinese did not kill, but chose to help the local natives. The natives regarded them as visitors to heaven, and when they saw them, they often bowed their heads and bowed.

The Han people are not in vain, there are many plants here that have never been seen before, and many of them can be eaten. Yao Qisheng asked the merchants to dig up all these things and bring them back, or bring back the seeds, to test whether they could be planted in the Hua Dynasty.

Among them, there are important food crops such as corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as oil crops such as peanuts and sunflowers; There are not only tomatoes, peppers, beans, guavas, custards and other vegetables and fruit trees, but also tobacco, upland cotton and other favorite crops and clothing raw materials, a total of nearly 30 species.

Some of them had been transmitted to the Hua Dynasty through the white-skinned people in Nanyang, but there were still many things that had never been seen before, and these things were no less important to the Hua Dynasty than the original purpose of this crusade.

After everything was ready, this group of warriors who had crossed the ocean ushered in the first New Year on the other side of the ocean.

All the Han people on the island set up colorful booths and made noise with gongs and drums to celebrate the New Year.

In the sound of peaceful New Year's firecrackers, Yao Qisheng summoned the generals in the tent, raised his glass and said: "Your Majesty summoned me in the palace a year ago, and a year later I have been ordered to come to this place thousands of miles away from the imperial court, this year's preparations are long enough and perfect enough, it's time to send troops!" ”
