In the letter, Duan Fei also explained why Japan was suddenly asked to conquer Goryeo, it is said that this is because the new king of Goryeo does not respect the Ming Emperor enough, although the Ming Emperor Zhengde does not pursue it on the surface, he is secretly very unhappy, and Japan and Goryeo are both subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, if the two countries fight, the Ming Dynasty is only responsible for mediation according to the rules and cannot send troops to participate in the war, so it is very likely that Japan will destroy Goryeo in one go.

Japan and Goryeo are also two countries that have been entangled in grievances since ancient times, Duan Fei's suggestion made Tanba Ohara excited, and a little hesitant, and finally made him make the decision to send troops to conquer Goryeo, it was Duan Fei who said that he could support him with a batch of new guns, and Tanba Ohara, who couldn't get guns from the Shu army no matter how he tried before, immediately came to Fangjin Port in person to discuss the conditions with Duan Fei.

Duan Fei promised to help persuade the merchants who lent money to the Tamba Ohara government to postpone the final repayment time, even reduce the interest amount, and support Tamba Ohara with 2,000 muskets and fifty cannons of three calibers, and Tanba Ohara immediately decided to declare war on Goryeo on the grounds that the Goryeo pirates had sacked the Japanese merchant ships!

In the twenty-fifth year of Zhengde, Japan declared war on Goryeo, and when Japan was in full swing with Goryeo, Duan Fei took his wife and children and quietly left Fangjin Port, took a large group of merchant ships, and took a large number of Japanese refugees who wanted to work overseas to make money, left Fangjin Port and sailed north.

Since Duan Fei did not take away the musketeers of Jinyiwei, no one noticed that Duan Fei had left, until the Japanese army's conquest in Goryeo fell into a quagmire, and Tamba Ohara wanted to ask Duan Fei for help, but he repeatedly begged to see him, and he began to suspect that Duan Fei had left Fangjin Port.

The musketeer army is not so easy to refine, the terrain of Korea is complicated, even if Duan Fei personally leads the army to kill Goryeo, he has to make a lot of arrangements in advance, and he does not dare to say that he will win, Tamba Ohara underestimates Goryeo, a neighbor that is even more backward than Japan, although they captured the capital of Goryeo in one go, but when they continue to advance north to the mountains, they will have no way, the war has reached a stalemate, and it is difficult for Japan to retreat.

Will the Ming court take the opportunity to annex Goryeo? Duan Fei didn't know too well, anyway, he had already left a foreshadowing, judging from the current belligerence between Zhengde and his courtiers, the possibility of Da Ming taking this opportunity to take Goryeo was very high.

Duan Fei followed the channel opened by He Hai all the way to the north, bypassed Sakhalin Island, and went straight to the Bering Strait, after sailing for more than half a month, he saw a small village on the land in front of him in the distance, and there was a small wharf next to the village, with He Hai's flag planted on the wharf, Duan Fei knew that they had finally arrived at the easternmost part of Asia, that is, the west side of the Bering Strait.

This wharf is specially maintained by He Hai, in addition to supplying ships coming and going, the main purpose is to remind the ships coming and going - the strait is here, stop walking along the shore, and sail directly east to the depths of the sea.

Duan Fei stayed in this wharf fishing village for a while, and sent a lot of supplies to the people guarding the fishing village, in this era, it is not easy to keep this fishing village, it is good in summer now, but in winter, it is cold and snowy everywhere, and the people in the fishing village can only hide in the house, and it is difficult to survive for several months.

From the fishing village, Duan Fei also got the latest news on the North American continent, the white army has arrived in North America, He Hai's situation is not good, several ports established in the south have been attacked and destroyed, and now He Hai and the local Indians have retreated to the north, relying on the Rocky Mountains in the Indians' mouths to resist the attack of the whites.

Seeing this latest information, Duan Fei decided to set sail immediately, and the fleet quickly left this fishing village called Arctic Harbor and sailed east to North America.

It only took half a day to cross the Bering Strait, and then the fleet quickly moved southwest along the coast, passing through two or three small supply ports established by He Hai along the way, and three days later, thick black smoke appeared on the coast ahead, and the sailors on the ship raised the alarm, and Duan Fei also saw what was happening in front of him from the telescope, and in front was the port of Rocky Mountain, the big port marked on the map.

"How could white people come so quickly?" Duan Fei was a little puzzled, he ordered to move forward at full speed immediately, and the oars of these modified merchant ships poked out one after another, like a big centipede, ten thousand oars fired in unison, and the fleet accelerated towards the Rocky Mountain Port.

About half an hour later, the fleet arrived at the port of Rocky Mountain, and the attacking enemy saw that there were many large ships suddenly coming, and they were all menacing centipede ships, they immediately chose to retreat, Duan Fei sent several ships along the coast to chase after him, and the flagship he was riding on first docked at the port of Rocky Mountain.

The people of Rocky Mountain Harbor were busy fighting fires and rescuing the wounded, only a few people rushed to the dock to greet them, they were shocked when they saw Duan Fei in civilian clothes, they all knelt down, kowtowed to Duan Fei and said, "The grass people meet Lord Wei Guogong!" ”

Duan Fei waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't be so polite, what about Haizi?" Why did these whites come so quickly? If we hadn't come day and night, I'd have taken over the port by these whites. ”

Those few people stood up, and they said cautiously: "If you return to the country, this is a bureau set up by Lord Haizi, using the Rocky Mountain Port to attract the attack of the whites, and at the same time, he personally led the people to kill the white people's territory, and planned to attack a supply warehouse of the white people next to Lake Mead, although the Rocky Mountain Port may be completely destroyed, but if the warehouse can be destroyed, the white people will face a situation where there is no supply, and then we will strike again, and the day when the white people retreat will not be far away." ”

Duan Fei said: "Haizi is really bold enough, he knows that I am about to come with a large group of people, why take such a big risk? Take me to a quiet place, I want to see the latest situation in North America now, and Haizi's planned route. ”

An old man led Duan Fei to the largest building opposite the port, this building has been burned down by fire, and it is still smoking, and the most fierce battle between the two sides just now is here, according to the old man's introduction, this building is the 'yamen' of Rocky Mountain Port.

In the office lobby of the Yamen of the Rocky Mountain Port, the old man unfolded a map, the map was marked very clearly, the old man had not yet spoken, Duan Fei's eyes swept on the map, and he already had a certain understanding of the current situation on the North American continent.

Wen Rencai introduced: "My lord, in the past two years, there has been no trace of white people in North America, we followed the words of the adult, and after coming to North America, we maintained a good relationship with the natives here, and we have been developing commerce and trade by the sea, and did not develop to the east, until last year, we suddenly heard from the natives who fled from the east of North America that there were many tyrannical whites on the east coast of North America, and they had the same firearms as us, and we were alert."

In the past year or so, the white people have developed very rapidly, they have come from several different countries, they have occupied several places, and occasionally they have fought a few battles, but perhaps because of our appearance, they gathered their forces at the beginning of this year, and fought all the way west, since they established a large supply point by Lake Mead, our situation has become more and more bad, you know, we are only in business, although we are somewhat armed, where can we fight those white robbers? They're clearly regular troops. ”

Duan Fei snorted and said: "Not only the regular army, but also the multinational coalition army, it is already very good that you can survive until today, it is that the prince did not expect the situation in North America to become so fast, otherwise the prince would have handed over the fold to the emperor and asked him to send troops to North America." ”

Duan Fei vaguely remembered that the history books said that although the white people discovered South America in the 16th century, the time when they began to colonize North America should be after the 17th century.

Duan Fei didn't think much about it, he carefully asked Wen Rencai about the current situation in North America, and soon he had a more detailed understanding of the current situation in North America, now North America is occupied by Spain, Francois (Portugal), England, France, and the Netherlands, these five countries occupy a lot of territory, these territories are mainly distributed on the west coast of North America, these European robbers have not yet had the ability and time to penetrate deep into the interior of North America, maybe He Hai's actions to help the Indians resist the white invasion angered these whites, They felt that the yellow-skinned people who also had guns and cannons were their real enemies, so they united and established a supply line across the continent, directly hitting the west coast of North America, so that the unprepared Haizi lost several ports in a row.

Now the closest and largest supply base for white people to the West Coast is on the west shore of Lake Mead, Duan Fei remembers that the location should have been marked with the word 'Las Vegas', it is located in the middle of the desert, there is a very complicated and long way from the West Coast, and it is not easy to raid this place.

After pondering for a while, Duan Fei raised his head and said firmly: "Since He Hai is not here, then the Duke of China will temporarily make the decision for him, what is your opinion?" ”

Wen Rencai hurriedly replied: "The grass people and the others have no opinions, and the Lord Guogong orders them." ”

Duan Fei nodded and said, "Okay, this official announces that from now on, the port of Rocky Mountain will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and all the places owned and controlled by He Hai will also be under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire North America and even South America will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future, do you have any opinions on this?" ”

Wen Rencai and the others knelt down in unison, and bowed to Duan Fei: "The grass people and others are all businessmen, since they came overseas to settle here, they all have a sense of uneasiness to hang overseas, and now the Rocky Mountain Port is included in the Ming Dynasty is what we are looking forward to, and we can develop here with peace of mind, please see the Lord Guogong!" ”

Duan Fei said with satisfaction: "Very good, then from today onwards, the Duke of China will serve as the governor of the Ming Dynasty in North America, and will be in charge of all the military, political, commercial and trade powers of the Ming court in North America. ”

Duan Fei paused, and continued: "The Governor intends to establish the Daming American Development Company in North America, welcome any Daming businessman to come and invest, and at the same time set up the Daming North American Command, the Governor is temporarily the commander-in-chief, and will post a notice to recruit troops in a while, the Governor feels that the defense capability of Los Angeles Port is too poor, and it is necessary to build walls and various fortresses as defensive measures, and all expenses will be temporarily shared by the Daming American Development Corporation according to the shareholders' shareholding, and the military expenses of the North American Command will also be borne by the American Development Corporation in the future, correspondingly, Every time NACOM's troops occupy a place, everything there will be handed over to the Development Corporation of the Americas, and the company that develops there will be exempt from taxes for at least twenty years! ”
