Chapter 485: The Wheel of History, Turn (Three More!) )
His father-in-law, Black Bear, hopes that Wang Shan can marry a wife of Moxican?
Hearing what Wang Shan said to himself, Zhao Hongyu was stunned at that time.
However, he quickly understood some of the joint problems involved.
It can be seen that his old father-in-law doesn't seem to be very stupid.
The women of Samuel's family are preparing for a rainy day.
But what about his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Thinking about these questions clearly, Zhao Hongyu laughed.
He said to Wang Shan: "Very good, what do you think of this matter?" If you don't object, then accept it, it's up to Annes to figure it out yourself. After all, having a wife of Mohican is also conducive to the great integration of our people, isn't it? ”
Zhao Hongyu is not very opposed to this.
Because as far as he knew about Wang Shan, he knew very well that no matter what happened to the women of the Samuel family and the black bear, he would not betray himself because of the women.
Besides, Emma and Sierra will not have that kind of palace fight in the future.
Even if you have children, you will educate them well from an early age.
Anyway, Zhao Hongyu just thinks that these people are thinking too much.
Seeing that His Royal Highness was not very opposed to this, Wang Shan was also relieved.
When Wang Shan heard the black bear's proposal, his heart suddenly churned.
As Zhao Hongyu's confidant, how could Wang Shan not understand what these people thought.
They are just consolidating Sara and Emma's position by marriage.
Fortunately, Annes, a little girl, really took a fancy to herself and was in love with herself.
Otherwise, Wang Shan would not have accepted her.
After all, having such a wife by his side is also very detrimental to him and the empire in the future.
"Your Highness, whether it's those women of the Samuel family. Or your father-in-law, the black bear, I know what they think. There is nothing yet, but if His Highness has an heir in the future, do you think there will be any problems? ”
Although Zhao Hongyu is confident in this, Wang Shan is very worried.
People, what they are most afraid of is selfishness.
Emma and Sara are not selfish, and Zhao Hongyu is not selfish, but the question is what about his children in the future?
No one can say for sure.
If there is a cannibalism in the future, it will be a big cup.
Looking at Wang Shan's serious expression, Zhao Hongyu sighed.
"You're right, but I know what to do. A huge empire is not good at that. There are too many wives and a lot of troubles, and I plan to educate my children in a modern way, so the kind of thing you are worried about should not happen. ”
"Of course, I'll prevent this from happening, but now that I don't have children, it's too early to think about it."
Although Zhao Hongyu was confident, he became a little hesitant when Wang Shan said this.
Because no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. He, Zhao Hongyu, can't do it even if he has a plug-in against the sky.
"In a modern way of education?"
Wang Shan groaned for a moment.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Everyone's thinking is different, if you educate them to instill some concepts in them since they were young, they don't necessarily care about rights when they grow up." Unless someone instills these ideas in them from a young age. I'll try to keep an eye on them. ”
Of course, Zhao Hongyu's 'someone' means something, and Wang Shan also understands this.
Yes, every little child is born a blank slate.
They know how to fight for power and profit.
If it weren't for the people around them, they had been instilled with some words since childhood. Thinking about it, these children don't necessarily have much yearning for rights.
Among the major dynasties of the Chinese Empire, it is because of the interests involved in the royal children and the people around them that they have instilled too much since childhood. That's why there are so many killings between brothers and sisters.
It's all about education and the environment.
But if Zhao Hongyu didn't have such an environment here, and the children didn't have much contact with such people, it shouldn't be possible for such a thing to happen.
Neither Emma nor Sara are women who have much desire for power.
In particular, Emma is the queen of the Mohicans, and Sara is also the titular lord of Quebec.
Even if they have children with themselves, they can settle their children well in the future.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu will try his best to teach them here.
Children, when they grow up, they may have their own ideals, as long as they can educate them well, so that they don't set their sights on power.
The atmosphere and environment of the Americas are different from the Orient after all.
The development of the Americas in the future will certainly change with each passing day.
Twenty or thirty years later, the Americas may be at the level of the fifties and sixties.
At that time, children will be able to pursue their dreams completely.
Be a scientist, a general, a technology R&D engineer or something.
You don't have to be an emperor.
Besides, the dividends of the umbrella company are enough for them to enjoy a rich life.
What's so good about being an emperor, you have to have a headache about political affairs every day.
Of course, you can also do everything in advance, and make a separation of powers or a congress or something to prevent all this from happening.
Anyway, Zhao Hongyu is still young, and he is only seventeen years old in this era.
He had time to do all the foreshadowing.
As Zhao Hongyu came out of Wang Shan's thoughts about him, the worried look on Wang Shan's face slowly faded.
"Since Your Highness, you already have mature ideas and plans, then I am relieved."
Wang Shan said to him.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and looked at Wang Shan, the subordinate who was the most loyal to him.
"I know your kindness, and I know what you are worried about. But there are many things that you and I can't control, and all we have to do is try to prevent them. By the day I close my eyes, if something like this still happens, you and I can't do anything, right? ”
Wang Shan nodded, but no, after they are all in the ground, how can they take care of these things.
What should happen will still happen. They simply can't control it.
"Where there are people, there are interests, and where there are interests, there will be conflicts and intrigue, and we have no control over the law. After all, people's hearts are different, and their thoughts are different, so let's not worry about it. ”
Zhao Hongyu can think about this problem.
But even if he couldn't figure it out, what could he do.
Looking at Sara and Emma not far away, Zhao Hongyu's gaze showed a tenderness.
"I'll just talk to you about these words, and when I really have children in the future, I'm thinking about it."
After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, Wang Shan nodded silently. I will no longer continue to discuss this matter with Zhao Hongyu.
However, Zhao Hongyu also made it clear that he himself had an idea in his heart for a long time, so there may not be such a thing in the future.
Therefore, Wang Shan's heart has been put down a lot.
"How much information do you have about the Caribbean?"
After the question about his home was put aside, Zhao Hongyu asked about the Caribbean side.
When Wang Shan saw Zhao Hongyu's question, he replied: "Everything is still going well, since defeating the Spaniards and the Dutch, the empire's rule over there has not encountered any trouble. The local natives also submitted. After all, we don't oppress the Spaniards or the Dutch like they do. ”
Zhao Hongyu nodded slowly while listening to Wang Shan's narration.
"Although many Spaniards and Dutch remained in the colonies of the Caribbean, they were under the watchful eye of the imperial garrison and the local natives. They are all quite honest, and no one jumped out to cause trouble. ”
"Chelsea, as the commander of the fleet, now has thirteen fleets under his command, and more than four hundred warships are scattered out of the army. Cruising the Caribbean day and night, no one will come looking for trouble without opening their eyes. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu opened his mouth and interjected: "That's for sure, even if the pirates want to come and find some cheapness." But they also have to think about what happened last year. And the Spanish Empire has fallen, and the Spaniards in the Caribbean have no hope but to be honest obedient people, otherwise they can still go there? Wouldn't it be possible to go back to stinking Europe, unless they were all idiots? ”
"And the Dutch don't have to worry, their warships are still fighting the British in the North Sea, and at the same time, the war in the Netherlands is still confronting, and there will definitely be no reinforcements."
For the European colonies of this era, the impact of the situation on the European mainland on the colonies was very large.
Because the colonies of this era were very dependent on the mainland.
Although they are financially self-sufficient, they are not dependent on the natives in terms of armed power.
The formation of an indigenous legion to protect the interests of the colony was something that the British would later come up with.
After all, the British colonies at that time were so big that they couldn't manage them at all.
And with their small island nation, they are underpopulated.
In this way, the British began to support the natives who were close to them to manage the interests of the colony.
At the same time, the indigenous legions in the colonies also appeared.
In addition to alleviating the lack of armed strength of the British, this also greatly reduced military spending.
At the same time, it is very advantageous to use these colonial legions as cannon fodder when necessary.
But in the seventeenth century, no country had such an idea.
Because they don't dare!
First of all, the European colonies of this era, they all got their hands on them through bloody killings and fraud.
The local natives succumbed to them, and that was because the Europeans were strong in their ships.
Europeans are also well aware of this.
If they dare to form an indigenous legion, they will have to guard against the betrayal of the other party.
It's a lot more than worth the cost.
It is precisely because of this that the Europeans did not think about the issue of the indigenous legion at all in this era.
Therefore, the European colonies will not be able to obtain military support when there is turmoil at home.
Of course, there was no military support, but economically they could still be obtained by bullying the people of the colonies.
"It's good if these guys are honest, if they're not honest. I wouldn't mind killing them all. It's all about stability, isn't it? ”
Zhao Hongyu, who has been a superior for some time, is not the same little white as he was now.
In order to maintain the stability of the empire's interests, he also knew that sometimes when it was time to be ruthless, he had to be ruthless.
Anyway, if you can't see it, as long as you don't kill people in front of you, then you can pretend not to see it.
Zhao Hongyu is very good at giving himself reasons and excuses for comfort.
"By the way, is there any news from Europe, and what is the reaction of the Dutch now?" , Zhao Hongyu asked. It is important to know that the Caribbean Empire fleet did not just defeat the Spaniards. It also occupies a colony belonging to the Dutch.
Although it was just a piggyback affair at the time, the imperial side could be regarded as an undeclared war.
And there was no conflict between the Dutch and the empire at that time.
It makes no sense for the Empire to do this.
However, Zhao Hongyu also knew that it was the best time to control the power of the Caribbean.
At that time, some face-to-face things can't be taken into account too much.
The Spaniards don't talk about it, now that the country is gone, it's not certain whether the restoration can succeed.
But the Dutch were genuinely incapable of taking care of the interests of the Caribbean colonies.
If you can't seize that kind of opportunity. Isn't Zhao Hongyu the biggest fool in the world.
Historically, the Dutch were famous as coachmen on the sea.
Now, while they haven't risen yet, why don't you do such a thing as a stumbling block for them.
Besides, the Dutch joined the new army of coaches and are still fighting the Church on the continent.
Could it be that the empire had to wait until after the Dutch had ended the Thirty Years' War. Fight the Dutch with dignity and then seize control of the Caribbean?
Those who do this are brain-dead, and they are only brain-dead.
Obviously, Zhao Hongyu is neither stupid nor brain-dead, so he will not choose that way.
But. How will the Dutch react to this?
This is what Zhao Hongyu is a little worried about.
Wang Shan replied: "The European intelligence department has been set up to find out the news in this regard. Since our concession has only recently been successful, the intelligence services have very little information to come along. In addition, the intelligence services are now focused on the Church's war against Portugal and France, so there is less intelligence on the Protestant side. ”
When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
But he also understands that this is a normal thing.
Construction has only been going on for a year in the European Concession, and many of the buildings have not been completed.
The shelves of the European branch of the Ministry of Intelligence have just been built, and at the same time, the intelligence officers of Chinese descent are also easy to be seen by Europeans, so it is very good to be able to recruit Europe to become intelligence officers, plus training or something.
So, what more could he ask for?
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan chatted, and the girls on the other side also had their own topics.
The battleship maintained a steady speed and headed for the Caribbean Sea.
At this time, the fleet of Louis XIII Jr. had just arrived in the middle of the Atlantic, and he did not know that Zhao Hongyu had left Manhattan.
Little Louis XIII is now full of fantasy about the American Empire and how to get along with Zhao Hongyu.
On the same day, on the other side of the world, a pirate named Zheng Zhilong in the South China Sea in the east gathered a large number of his own strength, and there was a fight with another group of pirates led by Li Xiang.
On the surface of the South China Sea, you can also see the shadows of Portuguese warships and Spanish warships.
Year 1622
The Ming Dynasty ushered in the second year of the Apocalypse
And the Manchu Nurhachi, who rose between the white waters of Montenegro, made a major decision in this spring, which later scholars called 'the seventh year of the Later Jin Mandate'.
This decision was that the Manchus and Shuoba Beile jointly ruled the country, and began to unify the Jurchen tribes.
At the same time, the Han people living under the rule of the Later Jin began to flee because they could not bear the slavery.
Enraged, Nurhachi ordered the Han people who fled to be hunted down.
For a time, the Han people in the area under the rule of the Later Jin Dynasty were all arrested and killed, and the miserable scene cannot be described in words.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty felt the strong rise of the Later Jin, coupled with the fiasco in 1621, and began to actively win over the Yehebu, who was also a Manchu, to fight with Nurhachi, and interfere with the process of Nurhachi's unification of the Jurchens.
To paraphrase a rotten phrase in later online novels, that is, 'the wheels of history are beginning to turn' (to be continued. For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
