Chapter 1013: Redman with a Heavy Heart!

Only if you have a strong dominant position, can you talk about so-called integration. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info will be their own values and moral system, forcibly instilled!

1. The trend of national integration is unstoppable. 2. The advanced national culture will inevitably replace the backward national culture, and the key to national integration lies in the advanced nature of the Juche national civilization. 3. Maintaining ethnic diversity is a historical choice. 4. National integration will promote the common progress of all ethnic groups.

Zhu Zilong couldn't think of what the reason for not being an aggressor, oh no, a fused, was.

Cultural exchange and integration are necessary to promote national integration. Well, well, history is always written by the winners.

Latecomers, do you really think that what you see in the history books today is 100% true?

A few small transit islands, with 20,000 or 30,000 navies, 30,000 new and 40,000 mixed old and new army, (half of them are cannon fodder Japanese soldiers), plus the existing population on the transit islands, has also become a natural copycat port city with more than 100,000 people.

Although many of the buildings are still ordinary brick houses, they are full of life.

Because of transportation, the cement produced in Shandong will not be used on the road here. The roads here are compacted with small stones, and then flattened with huge stones, mixed with some soil and cement, but they are also practical. Same as the car!

Of course, if this kind of road water penetrates too much, it will definitely become softer. It's normal for potholes to fall from a rain, and roads need to be repaired frequently.

The market is unexpectedly lively, and it looks like it is crowded almost all day except at night.

There are Ming people and locals who set up stalls on the roadside.

Zhu Zilong put on makeup and traveled with the guards, looking around quietly. Found local indigenous traders, mostly selling ginseng, animal skins, medicinal herbs, and some ores designated by the Ming people.

The businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are more organized, with more than a dozen stalls using board cars as stalls, and the goods on them are also varied.

There are goods from Shandong, Jiangnan and other provinces.

From small needles and threads to all kinds of iron tools (not weapons), there are everything. There are also stalls that specialize in selling salt and sugar!

The act of trading is basically in the form of barter, and it is rare for locals to have useful money.

Zhu Zilong thought that in another year of development, it is estimated that it can be forcibly implemented and the banknotes of the People's Bank of Shandong can be used.

In addition, there are several empty islands on the side.

Regardless of the war, it will be won anyway. We have to step up our immigration plan, and the more Han people who come, the better.

Of course, the matter of immigration, which is easy to say, is actually complicated and not so simple.

Just when Zhu Zilong was thinking about when to start the war, and when to emigrate.

Redman couldn't wait for a reply from the Dutch side, of course, to gain some initiative on his side and test it. After all, the military force on Daming's side was too weak, so he took the initiative to come to Zhu Zilong's transit station island to visit.

When he came in, when he saw the Ming warships gathered in the harbor, Redman's heart sank to the bottom.

On the sea, the new warships of the Shandong Navy traveling at high speed have drawn a beautiful arc on the sea. And it's not a clipper boat, it's bigger, and it immediately scared out of a cold sweat.

(The clipper boat, also known as the clipper or clipper sailboat, is a high-speed sailboat that originated in the United States.) )

Represented by the Ann Mackim, built in 1832, with a displacement of 493 tons and a sail suit, many people believe that it was the first true clipper ship. However, she still does not have a hollow bow, so she is still not qualified in reality, and can only be called a sub-fly clipper.

The mainmast is 61 meters high, the whole sail area is 3760 square meters, the speed is 15~20 knots per hour, and it only takes 13 days to cross the Atlantic, marking the peak of the development of sailing ships.

After the 70s of the 19th century, sailing ships, which were the main means of maritime transportation at that time, were rapidly replaced by the new steam engine ships.

Redman must not know that in the hull of the Zhu family's navy, a soundproof board is used, and the smoke exhaust pipe is placed behind the ship.

It is impossible for you to know that the large wooden ships of the Shandong Navy can already be regarded as semi-mechanized warships.

Therefore, no matter how large it is, it is much faster than any ship of its time.

Especially in terms of quantity, Redman carefully counted them, until the last wave of despair came to his heart. I was suddenly shocked in my heart, it was really TM, people are not the strength of the whole country to come, and the number of warships in this war is more than that of the whole Netherlands.

Fight consumption? There is no hope of victory at all, right?

It's been a few years. The Ming people were like a trick and built such a huge fleet, as if the shipbuilding technology and materials did not put any pressure on them.

On the hull, there were more black muzzles than the strongest ships that the Dutch were proud of.

Redman really wanted to get on Daming's warship to have a look, but unfortunately no one birded him, and it was impossible for him to agree.

However, the artillery on the coastal defense positions on the transit island can be seen clearly when it can pass by.

After a few glances, the coastal defense cannon, Redman's mood fell to the bottom of the glacier. There are very few such huge cannons, even in the Netherlands!

Moreover, the details of the Ming people are very well done, and the placement of each object seems to be very orderly. By no means a rabble navy!

In this way, it is difficult to say whether the entire East India Company would be able to win or not. It's so desperate!

Thinking about the population of Daming, this is definitely a more desperate number.

For a while, Redman found that the letter he sent to China was still too conservative. He had previously despised the Ming Dynasty's maritime power and did not think that it could pose much of a threat to the Dutch. Now it seems that we have to continue to write letters!

Regarding Redman's arrival, Zhu Zilong did not receive him, but deliberately let him go around the transit island, and also hinted that the number and strength of this Ming navy only accounted for a small part of the Ming Dynasty.

This is what it means to fight a mental war and get off the horse.

Back in Redman, who was based in the South Seas, he lost sleep that night.

Looking at the lights of the fortress in the distance, the heavy mood was not only relieved at this time, but aggravated a lot. The state arranged for him to come here, to defend and occupy an area first, in order to obtain a suitable benefit for the Dutch.

But now it seems that the early plan of snatching is obviously not feasible.

Not only that, in order to avoid angering the huge country of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to say that you have to spit out what you have eaten before to show your sincerity.

Otherwise, it is very likely that you will lose all your money and lose your long-term benefits.
