Chapter 772: Panama Deserves It
Xu Xinsu was lucky, and when he came to the Americas, he gained a foothold in a fortified stone city, where there are many ready-made houses and pavilions to use.
Xu Xinsu, who had a territory in Central America, would of course run this place well, and he renamed the city of San Salvador as the "New Golden Gate" and invited "Huaxia Development" to set up warehouses and big money houses in this place.
Based in Central America, Xu Xinsu looked forward to North and South America, and soon became the uncrowned king of the Eastern Pacific, and merchant ships that did not receive the Qinglong Flag on behalf of the "China Development" would face the risk of being robbed.
Three years ago, the "Chinese Development" negotiated with the Spaniards and received support, opened up a colony on the Isthmus of Panama, and now there is a city where it has risen, and this city Huang Sheng himself named "New Xiamen".
"New Xiamen" was taken seriously, and there was a standard battalion of soldiers stationed there, and the chief officer was Feng Jingsheng, the third batch of loaders and disciples of Huang Sheng.
Of course, Xu Xinsu and Feng Jingsheng will not waste their time, they cooperate tacitly, continue to encroach on Central America, hoping to connect the "New Kinmen" colony with the "New Xiamen" colony.
Huang Sheng's early layout in Central America to take the Isthmus of Panama certainly has a purpose, after eliminating the Jiannu and thieves, a large number of immigrants will come here, the Panama Canal, a waterway flowing with gold and silver, how can the Han people miss it?
The "Nanming" water conservancy experts are already debating the feasibility of building the canal, and they believe that they will soon come to a conclusion, and by then there will be hundreds of thousands of prisoners captured by the thieves, and the manpower to launch such a large project should be sufficient.
In the future, there are no indigenous people on the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land between "New Kinmen" and "New Xiamen", and only Han Chinese and immigrants come here to sinicize Mongolians, Japanese people, Korean people, and Javanese people.
In order to prevent this from happening, Huang Sheng could not cheapen the natives of the great project that the Han people had worked so hard to build, and the best way was to make it clear that there were no natives here, and all the immigrants were outsiders, all of whom spoke Chinese and wrote square characters.
With the benefits of the Panama Canal waterway, the future wealth here can be imagined, and the Han people must firmly put down roots. Moreover, this region has a pleasant climate, no scorching heat and harsh winter, and also has a large number of mineral deposits, especially the reserves of copper are remarkable, and it may rank among the top copper mines in the world.
The vast fleet heading north to Liaodong continued to rush north, reaching Huangjiawan Island, where Huang Sheng's flagship and a dozen new steam-powered warships were transferred to the Yangtze River and arrived at Nanjing.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the fleet came to Huangtian Port in Jiangyin, and Huang Sheng suddenly wanted to land to inspect the defense of Jiangyin.
Although the following Ming civil and military felt strange, but no one came forward to obstruct it, under the moon of the Ming Dynasty and the "Southern Ming" civil and military stars, Huang Sheng came to Jiangyin County, Changzhou Prefecture.
Nanwang came to Jiangyin, Daming Jiangnan officials came one after another, few officials did not know how to be flexible, Daming accumulated a lot of difficulties and the situation was tense, and everyone had a sense of crisis.
Many scholars in Jiangnan went to "Nanming" to become officials, and of course Jiangnan officials had to try to show a small face in front of King Nan, so as to ensure that they would have the opportunity to serve King Nan in the future.
Huang Sheng did not harass the locality, arranged for the Ming Dynasty to come to the port to visit the thermodynamic ironclad battleship, and asked Liu Guozheng to set up a banquet on his behalf to entertain everyone.
The ironclad giant ship that emitted white smoke and did not sail on its own had already shocked all the Ming civil and military forces, and when they came to the ship, they saw a black and shiny giant cannon, which made them feel the power of "Nanming" even more.
There is nothing to say, in the future, the king of the south will definitely not suffer, with such force, the invincible world is a matter of course, the destruction of the country and the extinction of the little Dongnu is just around the corner, the civil and military officials are singing and getting drunk, and the grievances in their chests are gone.
Huang Sheng did not accompany the Ming Dynasty to drink, he asked Wei Guogong to order the review of the Jiangyin group training, Wei Guogong was the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and he had such power.
Wei Guogong, who has been accompanying Huang Sheng, is very strange, "Nanming" is a proud soldier and a fierce general, why does Nanwang want to see the regimental training of a small Jiangyin City in Daming?
Wei Guogong was worried about smiling and generous, and was a little apprehensive, but fortunately, the 1,800 regiments that had been assembled were full of spirit and spirit, and they knew that it was the "God of War" who wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the Jiangyin soldiers, and everyone stood tall and tried their best to perform.
Huang Sheng carefully watched the drill of the group exercise, chatted casually with a few ordinary soldiers, and then rewarded each with two silver coins, and wanted to bring the officers above the general flag and the grassroots officials of Jiangyin County back to the flagship for a banquet.
The accompanying civil and military forces didn't think there was anything special about the Jiangyin regimental training, in the eyes of the "God of War" soldiers, these soldiers also reached the intermediate level of village warriors at most, why would the head of the family be so courteous to these little soldiers and officials?
Huang Sheng did not accompany the Ming Dynasty officials, but only took Li Xihan, Liu Dawan, Ma Yue and other confidants and generals to drink with the junior officers in Jiangyin.
Soon Huang Sheng became familiar with these officers, and one person was noticed, he was "a figure of the Eighteen Days with Hair Loyalty, and the Seventeenth Dynasty of Taizu." 100,000 people died with one heart and left 300 miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty. Originality.
Huang Sheng's purpose in coming to Jiangyin was to find him and the other two, these three were of course the three princes of Jiangyin who resisted the Qing Dynasty - Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun.
It's a pity that Huang Sheng and their status are very different, Yan Yingyuan is just a classic history, smaller than the main book, not even a grade, how dare he be presumptuous in front of the king of Nan, who is a very human minister.
Feng Houdun is just a famous county school instructor, from the eighth grade, of course, in front of the Ming Dynasty champion Yuan Gong.
There is one teacher in a county in Daming, which is equivalent to the director of the education committee and the head of the county school, and the two instructors under him should be about equal to the vice principal.
Chen Mingyu is not a classic history now, he is a general manager of the township brave regiment training, and the county-level regimental training is completely owned by the militia group, without the official title of the imperial court, Chen Mingyu is nothing to the general people.
Yan Yingyuan and the three of them, as well as the Jiangyin soldiers and officials, were fortunate to see the flagship of the "Huaxia Navy", and they only felt that the blood was surging in their chests, and they all had the urge to take a battleship to a foreign land.
At the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty, no one regards "Nanming" as a foreign country, and Huang Sheng is still the "God of War" in their minds, the god of the Han people themselves, and the "God of War" of the Ming Dynasty.
When the wine was hot, Huang Sheng opened his mouth and said: "This king inspected the Jiangyin regimental training today, and felt that the people here are fierce, and he intends to recruit a strong battalion of young and strong soldiers here, and the name is 'Jiangyin Battalion', what do you think?" ”
It turned out that Nanwang had taken a fancy to the children of Jiangyin, and the soldiers and officials were all excited, who wouldn't want to work for "Nanming"!
Only Feng Houdun was a Ming eight-grade instructor, barely an official, and when he saw that everyone from Jiangyin was looking at him, he could only step forward to answer the words of the king of the south.
"His Royal Highness wants to recruit troops in Jiangyin because he can afford to be born in Jiangyin, and the last official will definitely tell the county to promote this matter."
Huang Sheng liked it when he saw that this person looked dignified and upright, and asked, "Feng Xundao, I don't know if you have any knowledge of the 'Nanming' new study?" How does it feel? ”
