Chapter 914: Ready (Three Watches, Happy New Year's Day to Book Friends)
For Governor Zhang Tie's explanations, Jay Chou remembered them one by one.
For this mission, in fact, Jay Chou is full of expectations. Now a flame has burned in his heart, and he can't wait to set foot on the eastern land with the Third Legion under his command immediately.
There may be countless dangers there.
However, he was not worried about it at all.
Jay Chou, a genetic person cultivated from the virtual world, is still very confident in the military strength of the Song Empire.
He didn't believe that the ancients, who already possessed a flintlock pistol, could bring him any danger. Even if it is dangerous, is the more than 20,000 troops under his command vegetarians?
Don't worry about the Ming Dynasty, just talk about the Japanese side...... Hehe, I can definitely surprise them.
Of course, it would be best if you could go to the Ming Dynasty, maybe you can follow His Royal Highness's side, and you can also have the opportunity to get in touch with the so-called elite 'I Daqing' of this era.
When Jay Chou was being cultivated, because he was often in contact with the Internet, he himself was deeply influenced by the Internet and became an angry young man.
He is quite disdainful of the dark history of the reign of the 'I Great Qing' after the Ming Dynasty in the history of the virtual world.
Therefore, after coming to this era, he has been thinking in his heart if he has the opportunity to go to the East. Then he must find an opportunity to see the power of 'My Daqing', and by the way, let them also see their own ability.
Like Jay Chou's ideas and thinking, they were very popular in the army of the Song Empire.
Moreover, Song Hu and Zhang Tie, as well as Wang Shan and Professor Liu, will not attract so many backbone elements in the army to join.
It can be said that all the backbone of the army who joined this organization were basically chauvinists or angry youths.
After listening to Zhang Tie's explanation, Jay Chou thought for a while.
"Your Excellency, this route is still possible. I'm worried about a few things, though. That is, if we are harassed by some indigenous people in Southeast Asia, should we attack them? ”
Jay Chou must have asked this question, after all, if they encounter such trouble, it is a little unreasonable if they ignore it.
For those natives of Southeast Asia, Jay Chou has no good feelings.
However, if there is a conflict with these natives, it will affect his plan to support His Highness.
In terms of priority, it must be the most important thing on His Highness's side.
However, he needed some advice from the Governor here, and he could be considered to be able to do so.
Once he led the army and set off. Then the general will not be subject to foreign military orders, and then everything will need to be decided by himself on his own.
Zhang Tie thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "We can deal the greatest blow to the enemy who dares to provoke us in a short period of time, so that they can know how powerful we are." And now that we have Australia, then Southeast Asia will definitely belong to us in the future, right? Therefore, it does not hurt to let those monkeys in Southeast Asia see our strength in advance, and when we launch an invasion of Southeast Asia in the future, they will remember how powerful we are. ”
With Zhang Tie's words, Jay Chou's heart was suddenly settled.
"I see, Lord Governor. With your words at the bottom, I know what I will do in the future. ”
Zhang Tie smiled: "Okay, I won't continue to nag." Now you can go back and get the news out there. Prepare the soldiers of the Third Army, and I will gather the ships you need by tomorrow, and in the morning you will be on your way in three days' morning. ”
"Yes!". After Jay Chou gave a military salute, he exited Zhang Tie's office.
When Jay Chou left, Zhang Tie let out a long sigh.
"Your Highness. That's all I can do now. I hope there is no danger on your side, otherwise everything we have done will be in vain. ”
Although he has done everything he can do, Zhang Tie's heart is still not at ease.
After all, Zhao Hongyu was in the East, and Wang Shan was left behind because of the San Francisco incident. The three of them have followed Zhao Hongyu's cronies for the longest time, and none of them are now by his side.
Therefore, Zhang Tie felt that his Royal Highness was there, and he really couldn't rest assured.
Fortunately, Zhang Tiezhi said that his Royal Highness was carrying a cheating device against the sky.
If you really encounter any danger, you won't really fall into danger with this anti-heaven cheat. But after all, the sword has no eyes, and if the problem he is worried about really appears, there is no way to do it.
All he could do now was try to pray that this would not happen.
When the time comes, His Highness will be able to return to the Americas safely and lead them to continue to create brilliance.
Of course, when Zhao Hongyu comes back, he will definitely talk about this highness.
Because Zhao Hongyu's identity is very noble now, it's not like he was still a dick like before.
His every move and his own safety have an impact on many people.
Especially here in the thriving Song Empire, it is impossible to leave him.
He is now a beacon of the road and a banner for the genetic people of the Song Empire.
If this flag is missing, then people's hearts will be scattered.
At the same time, the existence of Zhao Hongyu also has a great impact on the Indians.
As Emma's husband, he was able to convert the Indians.
If something goes wrong with Zhao Hongyu and Emma, the Indians in the Song Empire will be separated from Germany.
Unless...... He and Emma were able to have a child, and it didn't matter if they were male or female. As long as he can have a child, then things will not turn out as he fears.
But the problem is that Zhao Hongyu really can't do anything about Emma, who is too young.
And those of them who are subordinates can't force themselves on this dead man's issue.
So, in retrospect, this is really a bit of a mistake.
Perhaps, when His Highness returns. The matter of having His Highness and Emma or Sara create an heir is already on the table.
As long as there is an heir, then even if His Highness is in danger somewhere, the empire can continue to be maintained.
With their understanding of the direction of history, the rise of the Song Empire in the future is also inevitable.
It's just that without Zhao Hongyu, it will take a long time for the empire to rise.
In this way, after Jay Chou left, Zhang Tie began his cranky thoughts.
He thought about many, many things and worries, and how to solve them.
"Someone's coming!"
"What's the matter? My lord! ”
Zhang Tie called the secretary in.
"Send a letter to the Governor of the West Coast, Wang Shan, in my own name."
"Good lord. I'll take notes now. The secretary nodded, and at the same time took out the notebook tucked under his arm.
Subsequently, Zhang Tie told his plans and the fact that he would send the Third Army and a fleet to the east to support His Highness.
At the same time, he told Wang Shan that he was not allowed to worry about getting angry, and that he had the ability to provide powerful help here.
Because he knew some of the difficulties faced by the Dao Wang Mountain, he let him concentrate on the development of that piece of land in San Francisco.
Of course. It's not like Wang Shan can't do anything.
First of all, Zhang Tie needed Wang Shan to increase the supply of supplies to the seven fortresses in Australia, because the fleet he sent would be supplied there after arriving in Australia.
This is if the Australian side cannot replenish supplies. This is going to be very troublesome.
At the same time, he also told Wang Shan that the fleet he sent was not only to support His Highness, but also to serve as an outpost at the same time. Let's see what the current situation is like for the indigenous people in Southeast Asia.
If you can, in the near future His Highness will complete the formation of the East. The Third Army would be stationed in Australia as a standing army and then look to Southeast Asia.
When the opportunity is ripe, it can attack and occupy this important archipelago in the sea.
Therefore, he hopes that Wang Shan will start to pay attention to the Australian side and provide some materials and resources when he can do it.
"Your Excellency Governor, when will this letter be delivered?" , the secretary who had finished recording asked with his head up.
"Right now! I send it by a clipper ship! ”
Zhang Tie's so-called fast boat is the kind of iron boat.
This kind of iron boat was purchased from the virtual world realm, and Chen Zhenbang helped to pull the line.
These boats are all the boats used by the fishermen in the coastal area of the Celestial Empire in the Virtual World Realm and are about to be scrapped.
In this way, the Song Empire also spent a lot of money.
In this regard, the high-level leaders of the Song Empire really complained.
These ships are in tatters, and even if some of Chen Zhenbang's small workshops are renovated, they can't change the fact that these ships are about to be scrapped.
At that time, Zhao Hongyu and Tesco bought almost 1,000 of these small iron-clad fishing boats and came back. However, most of these fishing boats are now lying on their stomachs, completely rotting and unable to move.
Some of the ones that could move were selected and then modified in Zhang Tie's hands and used as patrol boats to patrol the coastline.
At the same time, some relatively dilapidated ones that were not very serious were pulled out and added fuel tanks began to be used as fast mail ships.
In the seventeenth century, correspondence here was very painful.
Moreover, as the territory of the Song Empire expanded, there was a great need for means and tools that could communicate quickly.
If you want to install an antenna or something, this thing is too big a project, and with their limited funds now, there is really no way to get it.
So, a quick and inexpensive way to do it becomes an option.
Zhang Tie relied on this means to maintain communication with Central America and South America, and was able to grasp the situation of these colonies in time.
Without this relatively fast means of communication, many things would not have been able to be handled.
It seems that when the territory is bigger, there will be more troubles.
How Zhang Tie hopes that he can have extra funds, which can be used to build signal receiving stations and then use analog mobile phones with analog signals.
Even if this is a high requirement, it can be lower, and make a telegraph station by radio.
Alas, it's a pity that this hope is still a little too far away for the current Song Empire.
Fortunately, the government postal boat, which was converted from a tin fishing boat, did not take long to travel from Manhattan to the colony, and it took only four days to reach the southernmost point.
During the voyage, he only needed to replenish fuel at many colonies, so it could be regarded as balancing Zhang Tie's heart.
The secretary turned to leave, and immediately ordered someone to take the letter, and then quickly rushed to the dock and handed it to the staff of the sea station, so that they could quickly send the letter out of the city.
Just one such letter was sent to a postal ship.
It can be seen that the right is still very convenient, isn't it?
Fortunately, today's Song Empire postal ships are used to deliver emergency government information.
Therefore, there are still many ships to spare, but it will not delay important things.
"Railway, it should be time for Song Hu to speed up the construction of the railway. Now the construction of the railroad from Ontario to Manhattan has been completed, and construction of the railroad to Quebec has begun. God knows when the road to San Francisco will be built, and if the railroad can be completed, we won't have to go to such trouble again. ”
Thinking that the current communication is so inconvenient, Zhang Tie also feels a little troublesome.
However, right now he is not the time to have a headache for this matter, after all, he has too many things to deal with now.
Zhao Hongyu's matter here, he can be regarded as solving it a little, as for whether he can help His Highness really solve the trouble, it is not something he can control.
Anyway, he's done what he can do, and the rest is left to fate.
Zhang Tie came to the outside of the office and looked at the busy secretaries of the secretariat.
"Find me the latest information from the intelligence department, what I need is information about the hidden members of the church in the city."
Zhao Hongyu's affairs can be put aside, and now Zhang Tie is going to start preparing for other things.
Yes, development here in Manhattan is still very smooth, at least on the surface.
However, Zhang Tie knew very well that there was an undercurrent under this calm surface. This undercurrent is not obvious, in fact, it is just forbearance.
If you don't grasp and deal with it in advance, God knows when the Dao will break out and cause big trouble.
In particular, Manhattan has recently seen a lot of Ottoman and Arab businessmen.
Therefore, Zhang Tie felt that the hidden power of the church should start to move.
After all, there was a great conflict between what the Church believed and what the Ottomans and Arab merchants believed in.
There was a war more than 100 years ago.
Therefore, it can be said that the two sides have irreconcilable contradictions.
So, I have to start dealing with this on my own.
Soon, some special information about the recent city of Manhattan was on Zhang Tie's desk.
Zhang Tie picked up a few pieces of information and looked at them, and his face became more and more ugly...... (To be continued......)
