Chapter 233: You're Good or Bad, But I Like It (Three Watches!) )
Zhao Hongyu, the 'little butterfly', brought some unexpected things to this era, and what it can become in the end is not something he can predict.
What is happening in Europe now, Zhao Hongyu, who is still on the American continent at this time, cannot know the Tao at all, after all, communication technology is still very underdeveloped in this era.
It would take at least fifty days for the events of Europe to reach the Americas.
This should be measured according to the speed of the sea ships arriving in the Americas from Europe, of course, more than 40 days is not impossible, after all, some sea ships are faster.
But judging the situation in Europe from the words of the sailors and maritime merchants is more or less unreliable.
After all, there is a big difference between what you hear and what you see with your own eyes.
With the passage of time, it has been a year since Zhao Hongyu came to this era.
The year 1620 also came to 1621.
In the spring of 1621, a lot of things happened in the world.
First of all, at this time in the spring, Houjin in the East had already captured Shenyang, which could be regarded as seizing a piece of treasure land. This gave them a capital and strengthened their confidence and gave birth to ambitions.
Of course, Nurhachi also knew that they were still very weak.
In short, 'what hasn't worked yet, everyone still needs to work hard'.
It was also in this year that the future 'My Great Qing' Jinghai Hou Shilang was born, but now his identity is still a child of the Ming Dynasty.
Well, there are many algorithms at this time, such as the first year of the Apocalypse, the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, and the seventh year of Dongying's Yuanhe.
In this year, the Dutch West India Company was also founded, a year later than the Umbrella Company in the Americas.
And they don't know that they have a strong opponent to deal with in the future.
Meantime. The Dutch East India Company rebuilt a city in the East and named it Jakarta.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty has begun to show signs of decline, and historical celebrities such as Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen are constantly performing their own plots on the stage of history.
In the southeast coastal area, the pirates are still alive and well, Zheng Zhilong is annexing or fighting other pirates at this time, and he is not a pirate king at this time.
There were many things that happened in 1621, and just at this time of spring, a lot happened in the world.
It's just that. It is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to know these things.
However, even if he knew the truth, he couldn't have any ideas.
After all, his current scope of activities is limited to the American continent, and he can't even go to Europe.
At the entrance to the Hudson River northeast of Manhattan where it connects with the Atlantic Ocean, Zhao Hongyu built more than 50 shipyards in a row.
On this day, the weather was clear and cloudless, and his interest was very good.
So, he took Emma and Sara with him. Wang Shan and Zhang Tie also came here to participate in the launching ceremony of the first battleship.
It was his first self-built battleship, and it was a formidable battleship with four decks and five poles.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu's excitement is understandable.
And this can also prove that the shipyards under Zhao Hongyu are now. Already has the ability and skill to build battleships.
That's the most important thing.
"Wow, such a big ship."
When they arrived at the shipyard, the battleship, named the 'King of the Seas', was quietly moored in the sea.
The genetics sailors are getting acquainted with the facilities on this battleship.
After seeing the battleship. Little Emma couldn't help but exclaim.
Yes, she never knew that the ship could be built so big.
Not only Emma, but even Sara was stunned.
"This ...... This...... Is this still a ship? This is simply a beast of the sea! ”。 Sara gave a word after the last.
Yes, it's the beast of the sea.
"This ship belongs to me personally, because it is the first ship, so Wang Shan gave this ship to me. When I have the opportunity, I will take you on this ship to travel around the world. ”
Zhao Hongyu said with a smile to Emma and Sarah.
"Wow, really, don't lie."
Emma is young after all, and she is of course very happy to hear that she can travel around the world.
She grew so big, the farthest time she went to Lake Ontario with Zhao Hongyu.
Children, who were originally out of their own nature, can endure it there now.
Sara is better than Emma, not as excited as she is.
Zhao Hongyu hugged Emma and said to her with a smile: "Of course, I won't lie to you." But not now, I still have a lot of things to do, so let's talk about it when I'm free. ”
Of course, Emma knew that her man had a lot of things to do now, and she wouldn't ask to go out of the world at this time.
"You always tell me that there are a lot of interesting places in the world, such as the country full of sand and the short country of Dongying, I really want to see it."
Emma's eyes were full of stars and she looked at Zhao Hongyu.
It's really a poor child, if she hadn't met me, I guess she wouldn't have known how big the world of the Dao World was in her life.
hugged Emma distressedly, and Zhao Hongyu promised to take her out of the city to see if he had the opportunity.
"This kind of battleship is a monster at sea, and I shudder when I look at its guns." Sara spoke at this time. "But with such a large hull, the speed and steering are a bit slow."
In the end, she is older than Emma, and Sara thinks differently.
Emma just saw that the battleship was big, and she wouldn't see anything else.
Sara was different, and she saw something wrong.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Compared with smaller ships, it must be slower in terms of turning." But I promise you that it won't be slow. ”
Regarding this point, Zhao Hongyu has a bottom in his heart, so he has strong confidence.
Come to think of it, who would have known that there were four engines and propellers at the bottom of the boat.
This thing is out of Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Song Hu, and there are genetic people who know the way, and there is no one else who knows the way.
This is something that is kept absolutely secret.
"What I can tell you is that it only takes fifteen days for this kind of battleship to arrive in Europe from us."
Zhao Hongyu deliberately showed off in front of Sarah.
What the! Fifteen days!
Really. After Zhao Hongyu said such a number, Sarah's reaction made him very satisfied.
"You can't be a liar, how can it be so fast!" Sara looked at him with the look you were bragging, not believing it at all. You must know that the fastest ship in Europe will take 40 days to get to Manhattan, and this will only be possible if everything goes well.
But if there is no wind or storm or anything, then the day has to be increased.
Besides, she's not a child anymore.
Therefore, I won't believe what Zhao Hongyu said.
In Sarah's opinion. This little lover of his own must be bragging.
Only a kid like Emma would believe it, and she wouldn't believe it anyway.
Because it's just a fantasy.
But it's no wonder, after all, Sara doesn't know a lot of things, doesn't she?
Seeing Sara go from shock to disbelief, and then to the last to think that she was bragging, Zhao Hongyu could only smile bitterly.
yes, how did you ask him to explain it to Sarah?
Just the engine and the propeller, that's what can't be said to her.
"Okay, I know you don't believe it, but it's okay." Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to her helplessly. "Then you'll know the truth."
Yes, it's useless to say anything now, it's really not clear for a while.
Rather than using words to make pale justifications. It would be better to prove it with facts when the time comes.
"My dear, the fighting is getting fiercer and fiercer on the Quebec side. The French can't stand it anymore, and I've heard they're out of food now. Sara brought up the issue of Quebec. What she cared about most now was the territory that belonged to her.
"Well, I've also received information about Quebec, poor Leon." Zhao Hongyu responded hypocritically.
Sara looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously and said, "I think it's time to send troops?" You must know that the road is no longer feasible over there, and we should plan for it in advance. As for me, I really don't want to see all the people over there slaughtered, after all, they are going to work for me in the future. ”
Sarah's tone became a little pleading as she spoke.
Zhao Hongyu grabbed her hand, gently patted the back of her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I know everything." Since you're a little reluctant to get to those people, I'll send troops over as soon as possible. After speaking, Zhao Hongyu turned around and glanced at Wang Shan.
Wang Shan, who had been paying attention to Zhao Hongyu's side, immediately trotted to his front after seeing the eyes of his Royal Highness.
"Your Highness, what do you command?"
Wang Shan is now full of aristocratic fan, and recently he has been studying very hard how to become a nobleman.
Sara was very satisfied with the 'nobles' under her little man.
Especially Wang Shan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
In her opinion, these people are gentle and polite. Compared with the hypocritical aristocracy in Europe, this kind of person is simply a very sought-after commodity in Europe.
All along, Sara wondered if she was going to be an introducer, introducing the widows of the Samuel family to the nobles of the Song Empire, who were still single.
Yes, how good the nobles of the Song Empire are.
Sara had observed that these black-haired, black-eyed men did not have the bad habits of the European aristocracy.
At the same time, the men of the Song Empire can be said to have great respect for women, which makes Sara admire it very much.
This kind of respect is not just talking, but it is really reflected in people's hearts and lives.
It's not like the aristocrats and men in Europe, who say it nicely but it's not the same thing.
Moreover, the nobles of the Song Empire were very wealthy, and they owned a lot of cattle and sheep, land, manors, and most importantly, they were young.
Whether it is these nobles, but all those men with black hair and black eyes are very rich.
Because as soon as spring comes, when the snow and ice melt, the vigorous land distribution movement begins.
The early group of genetic people, at the request of the umbrella company, all got a piece of land of their own, and began to build small villas and have their own estates.
Yes, this kind of estate is the kind that Americans owned in the eighteenth century.
After all, the genetics bought a lot of black slaves in the winter, and didn't they buy them today.
The Somali blacks also had a share, but instead of asking for it, they chose gold and silver coins. The same is true of the Gurkhas, and even the Assans do not want land.
This is just right, Zhao Hongyu was originally reluctant to give it.
In short, the Huaxia Gene people suddenly became the richest class in Manhattan.
As for the genes of other germlines, why don't you want land and manors, Zhao Hongyu doesn't quite understand.
However, he himself is reluctant to delve too deeply into this.
"I just wanted to ask you, do you think it's appropriate for us to send troops to Quebec from time to time?"
Strictly speaking, Zhao Hongyu was unwilling to send troops at this time.
He wished that the Iroquois would immediately capture the Quebec fortress and slaughter the French inside.
As a result, the Iroquois would also suffer huge losses.
It will also be easier to deal with it yourself after the worst of the time.
It's useless to keep those French people on your own, they are not as good as genetic people.
But Zhao Hongyu can't refuse Sara, after all, Sara is his wife now, isn't it.
Wang Shan secretly glanced at Sarah, and then at his Royal Highness.
He saw a clue from Zhao Hongyu's expression, and then said: "Now is not the time to send troops, if we do this, we will lose a lot of soldiers." ”
Alas!
Hearing Wang Shan's words, Sara couldn't help but sigh.
She understands very well that her current requirements are very difficult for the little man.
After all, this is a major national matter, and at the same time, it is related to the lives of the people.
She also didn't want to cause too much loss on the little man's side because of her relationship.
However, when she sighed, Wang Shan suddenly said, "Although the current form is very unfavorable to us, and we have to face the Iroquois who have gone crazy, I think it is still necessary to send troops for the sake of Queen Sarah's people." ”
Hearing this, Sara burst into tears.
Yes, isn't the reason why she let her little man send troops to Quebec to rescue those compatriots?
Sara is a very soft-hearted woman, and even if she is married to Zhao Hongyu, she is also a French nobleman.
It's just that what Sara didn't see was that Wang Shan had been secretly gesturing to Zhao Hongyu before saying this to her.
Zhao Hongyu cooperated with Wang Shan and said: "Well, that's right, my wife has been sad and sad about this matter recently. I think we need to send troops to Quebec as soon as possible to settle the Iroquois. ”
At the same time, he secretly laughed in his heart.
It's okay to send troops, but it's not necessarily when you'll arrive in Quebec.
Wang Shan, Wang Shan, you kid is too bad.
I like it though. (To be continued.) )
