For Manhattan and the Song Empire, as well as the rich American continent.

This is the country that almost all European dicks yearn for, just like many countries in the third world in later generations, yearning for the rich United States of America.

For the poor Europeans of this era, the Song Empire on the American continent was the ideal country.

It's rich, it's beautiful, it's so much better than in Europe.

There are no excessive taxes there, no oppression by the nobles, as long as you do things honestly, then you can get the life you want.

Yes, happy life.

The Song Empire treats everyone very fairly, as long as you follow their rules and regulations, then you don't have to worry about anything.

And there are very few taxes there, not as complicated as in Europe.

At the same time, the Song Empire's military power is so strong that you don't have to worry about war coming to you at all...... In short, the benefits are too numerous to mention.

Where, it is simply what God calls the Garden of Eden, which is heaven on earth.

People who have been to Manhattan basically don't want to leave.

At the same time, these people informed their relatives in Europe of the situation in Manhattan, hoping that they could take a ship to live with them on the American side.

In this way, with word of mouth, Manhattan became the country that all Europeans aspired to.

In addition to the frequent wars in Europe at this time, it was very turbulent.

Many Europeans left their homes and found merchant ships to come to the Americas.

For a time, Manhattan Pier was filled with makeshift shacks that became a home for newcomers to Europe.

It's as if Manhattan suddenly has a new ghetto, and the timing is very abrupt.

Fortunately, the Empire stipulated that people who were not citizens could not leave the port area, otherwise these people would flood into the city, which would bring great instability to law and order.

But even so. The security of the port has also become much, much worse than before.

Petty theft, even robbery and other crimes, all at once rose during this time period.

In order to cope with this, Zhang Tie used his privilege to buy a batch of templates Ah San to act as a security guard, which suppressed this symptom.

Ah Sange is worthy of being a good dog with human power, with the support of the empire, they will not be soft on those who dare to disobey the rules of the empire, and once they are discovered, they will be beaten. Then thrown into a cell.

What's more, they were thrown directly into the road repair team.

These Europeans are not stupid either, and after a few times they also became honest.

They know that the Americans are not good people, and they are also very scary.

But as long as you don't commit crimes and don't break the law, then it's actually pretty good to live here.

In addition, they learned from some old Europeans who had been in the Americas for more than a year, so the law and order slowly improved.

The stubborn guys are basically gone.

Some of the people left. I don't dare to do anything.

The port area has expanded considerably.

Because of the continuous influx of Europeans, the expansion plan of the port was once again placed in front of Zhao Hongyu and them.

And because of the arrival of these people, the number of laborers in the port suddenly increased.

Originally, there had been a shortage of laborers, but now it has finally been alleviated.

Cargo handling of merchant ships. Never worry about time again.

And because there is a job, you can make money.

People's desire to take risks to commit crimes has gradually faded.

"It's really unbelievable that the turmoil in Europe has led to so many refugees coming to us. How many people are pouring into the Port of Manhattan in a day now? ”

For these Europeans. Zhao Hongyu labeled them all as "refugees".

In fact, Zhao Hongyu's label is not wrong, after all, they came to the Americas across the ocean, isn't it because of frequent wars in Europe.

Wang Shan stood in front of Zhao Hongyu. He picked up the document and looked through it, then replied, "According to the survey, more than 400 people arrive at the port of Manhattan every day and live in shantytowns. At this rate, in less than a month, the pressure on the port side will become very high. ”

While a large population is a good thing, it's also a bad thing.

After all, when these guys came to Manhattan, they made a mess of the harbor.

At the same time, these people defecated everywhere, turning the originally clean port into a miasma, which made Zhao Hongyu unbearable.

And it also makes those Europeans who are used to clean and fresh air come to live in Manhattan last year very disliked.

Yes, European cities are so stinky, and everyone came to the Americas to find that life can be so clean.

After getting used to such a clean environment, who wants to live that kind of dirty life.

But these Europeans who came to Manhattan because of the turmoil in Europe brought the bad habits of Europe to Manhattan as well.

"If it doesn't work, send them to Quebec, or Ontario City. The population of Manhattan has exceeded 500,000, and no more cities can afford it. It is important to know that our health system, as well as urban services, are not adequate enough to provide for more than half a million people. ”

Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan with a headache.

Wang Shan picked up the pen and made a note on the document.

"Very good, Your Highness. I'll do it quickly, there's a shortage of miners on Lake Ontario, and I've heard that the pay is good. It's a bit hard, but I don't think these Europeans will be picky. ”

After making a record, Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu.

Yes, it's good to have a job for them to do these days, and whoever is picky is really going to die.

Moreover, the salary of miners in Ontario City is 30% higher than that of laborers here in Manhattan, which can be said to be a very good career.

The level of the imperial prince is very high, and at the same time the price of goods is very low.

The living conditions are truly paradise compared to those in Europe.

Instead of starving at the port of Manhattan, you might as well go to Ontario City.

Wang Shan already has a case for this, and he knows what he should do.

Zhao Hongyu continued: "Let's put this matter aside for a while, how many warships can we use now?" The British colonies have been included in our hands, so the next step is the Caribbean Raiders. The American continent is now at war, with Spain and the Netherlands being dragged down by the war. This is a great opportunity for us. It is a great sin not to take it. ”

When Zhao Hongyu talked about this, he also dragged a word that he didn't rely on.

When Wang Shan heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Now we have thirteen heavy warships, one hundred and sixty-five copycat Dutch warships, and at the same time, we also detained more than 200 Galen ships of the British some time ago. We formed thirteen fleets of these ships, of which the flagship was dominated by heavy battleships. ”

After listening to Wang Shan's report, Zhao Hongyu calculated carefully.

The copycat Dutch warships, plus the more than 200 British warships that were detained, are almost more than 300 and 400.

Assigned to thirteen fleets, then one fleet has at least thirty warships.

Such a sea force is not weak.

Put it in the summer. You can fight those pirates.

Zhao Hongyu is very satisfied with this.

"You also know the situation on the Caribbean side of Central America. The Spaniards and the Dutch have mobilized a large number of warships, and some legions have returned to the mainland to participate in the war, so the colonies on the Central American side can be said to be very weak militarily, and we must take this opportunity to take it in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan seriously.

Wang Shan nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, the Ministry of Intelligence has intelligence information about the West Holland colonies in Central America, and of course I know about this. You are quite right, the Caribbean region is now very weak in military power. That's a great thing for us. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shan paused, and then observed Zhao Hongyu's expression.

When he saw that Zhao Hongyu was very interested, Wang Shan continued to say: "And the maritime military strength we have now is very strong. There is every possibility of an invasion of the Caribbean. As long as we occupy and control all the colonies in the Caribbean in a short period of time, then even if the Spaniards and the Dutch know about it in the future, we don't have to be afraid, right? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu laughed: "Yes." It's good to have an Atlantic Ocean in between. By the time they learned the news of the occupation of the colony, it would be too late to come back to help. The Spaniards now that the war on their home soil had dragged them down, so there was no need to worry too much. The war in the Netherlands by the Dutch will not end in a short time, and this war will also spread to the sea, and the main battlefield will be Europe. So we don't have to worry too much. ”

Of course, Zhao Hongyu knew what Wang Shan meant.

Now is an absolute opportunity for them.

After the Caribbean Sea is acquired, then the whole of America will belong to the Song Empire.

At that time, all Zhao Hongyu has to do is to develop the American continent well.

A complete American continent, if developed well, is enough to become Zhao Hongyu's capital to conquer the world.

"Let the Admiralty, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Intelligence Department draw up an operational plan as soon as possible, and I hope to send troops before the Chinese New Year to end the Caribbean Raid in the spring."

"Your Highness, don't worry, we will definitely be able to complete this strategy."

Wang Shan replied confidently.

"The best is that we can use a small price to get the most out of it. It would be best if there were no casualties, and of course I know that this is a bit unlikely, but I still hope that you can take this into account when drawing up your battle plan. ”

Zhao Hongyu made a small request at this time.

Faced with such a request, Wang Shan smiled: "There is nothing difficult about this, I already have a plan in my heart." But it's not very mature yet, so let's wait until we make a plan, and I'll show you it. (To be continued.) )
