At this time, Zhao Hongyu and his party, who left Marseille on the Sea King, were on their way to Alexandria, Egypt.

In the aft attic of the Sea King, a group of Samuel widows sat on sofas, enjoying the summer afternoon sunshine.

The younger girls were playing poker with Emma.

Sara chatted quietly with the old lady, while Zhao Hongyu talked to Wang Shan on the deck about the next plan.

"The French have made a secret agreement with us, and have signed the terms of cooperation written in black and white. But I think Mary's side needs to be recruited and trained, and it will take a while. ”

Leaning sideways on the railing, Zhao Hongyu let the sea breeze blow his face and said to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan nodded when he heard this, and responded: "Yes, conscription cannot be completed immediately. Moreover, the recruited soldiers have to go through training, so it will take about a year. That means we have a year left to take a leisurely break. When the Spanish side is in turmoil, we can return to the Americas and start an offensive against the Spanish colonies. ”

After listening to Wang Shan's words, Zhao Hongyu exhaled a deep breath of turbidity.

"It's been four months since we left the Americas, and I don't know what happened to Manhattan."

Yes, since communication was not very developed in this era, Zhao Hongyu could not know the instant news of the Americas.

However, he still got a little bit of the situation through the space-time trader.

Today, through the efforts of the 'township chiefs', the number of people controlled by Zhang Hongyu has reached as many as 180,000, of which 30% are genetic people of the Chinese germline and 70% are genetic people of other germs.

Although the number of genetic humans in the Chinese germline is still very small, it has increased greatly compared to a few months ago.

At the same time, what Song Hu did in the virtual world, Zhao Hongyu also knew a little.

Zhao Hongyu also knows about the tin fishing boats and the shoulder-mounted bazooka of the cottage.

But because of the restrictions. Zhao Hongyu still can't know whether these things that were made out by Song Hu will work or not.

Of course, he didn't know anything about the recent naval battles in Manhattan.

"Your Highness, we can play here in Alexandria for a while, and then we can return to the Americas. Today's major European cities are the same thing, and the city construction is not as good as Manhattan. ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded and said, "Yes, dirty city streets, evil environment." Also only Europeans were allowed to live in European cities in this era. I can't stand it. ”

Thinking of the urban environment in Lisbon and Marseille, Zhao Hongyu was really powerless to complain.

Compared to Manhattan, European cities are like toilets.

It's no wonder that those Europeans are generally reluctant to come back after going to the Americas.

I don't know if there are some reasons for this.

In the Mediterranean, Europe and Africa, as well as Arab ships, can often be seen. Compared to the Americas, shipping in the Mediterranean is still very developed.

During the voyage of several days, Zhao Hongyu could often see ships common in this era, passing near the Sea King.

He was even lucky enough to see a real pirate raid.

Probably due to the fact that the Sea King was too fierce in its hull. The 108 guns were so scary that the pirates, who were already in sight of victory, immediately retreated and fled when they saw the appearance of the Sea King.

And let the one fly the Venetian flag. The Spanish double-decker ship, loaded with olive oil, escaped.

After departing from Marseille, Zhao Hongyu successively arrived in the three cities of Genoa, Hiracusa, and Crete.

Because of the routes, Venice and Greece. He didn't go.

These three cities are basically no different from Lisbon, which Zhao Hongyu came into contact with, and Marseille.

All are typical 17th-century European cities.

Filthy. Stinky ......

This also made Zhao Hongyu completely cut off the idea of playing in Europe.

After all, no one likes to swim in the dung water, it has to be a lot of taste.

Besides, the purpose of Zhao Hongyu's visit to Europe this time has basically been achieved.

So, after seeing the Egypt of this era, he planned to return to the Americas.

For Zhao Hongyu, the Americas are his roots, not in Europe.

Emma, a native American Indian girl, accompanied Zhao Hongyu to open her eyes.

The customs of Europe, as well as the different styles of architecture, have made her see it.

Although she was disappointed by the dirty mess of European cities, after all, she also saw a different style from the American continent.

Therefore, the little girl is still very happy.

Sara was in a good mood too, because her relatives had escaped.

It can be said that she has nothing to worry about now, and she can live a good life with Zhao Hongyu in the Americas in the future.

And the widows of the Samuel family also had a noticeable smile on their faces after leaving France.

Maybe it was because they had left the country that made them feel depressed and dangerous, anyway, Zhao Hongyu couldn't see any unhappiness on their faces.

The widows did not seem to be very opposed to going to live in the Americas.

But think about it, they are not without backers in the Americas.

At least, it's not a one-sided one.

Sara, the crown prince's concubine (concubine), can provide them with some help within her ability.

Moreover, Sara in Quebec has a large private territory, which can be set aside for these women.

With land, crops can be grown, and those crops can be sold for money.

And you can also build villages and towns on the land, and even get some small shops.

In this way, these women do not have to worry about life at all.

And with Sarah's identity, they can also choose some genetic people with identity to marry in the Song Empire.

In short, if they go to the Americas, their future is still very promising.

It is precisely because he sees hope that on their faces, Zhao Hongyu sees the yearning and longing for a new life.

"Your Highness. There's a widow's daughter of Samuel's family pestering me these days, what do you think I should do? ”

During the chat, Wang Shan whispered to his Royal Highness about this one thing that bothered him a lot.

"Oh, who's that? I guess it's interesting to you, if the European Yanma is suitable, you can still accept it. If we can really be together in the future, your children will at least be mixed-race. ”

Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan with a difficult face with a smile on his face and said.

In fact, for such a thing, Zhao Hongyu still wants to see it.

Finding a European isn't really a big deal. And if it does, it's not bad to be a half-breed.

At least, half-breeds are beautiful, aren't they.

And I heard that mixed-race children are very smart because of their good genes.

The bitterness on Wang Shan's face became even stronger: "It's Anness, don't you think she's too young?" And I see that behind this, there is no intention of her mother, they may fancy my identity, so this is why this situation occurs. ”

When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

Wang Shan said that Anness, this little girl, he knows. It was a little girl who was only 11 years old.

She is soft and weak, always blushing when talking to people, and has blonde hair with a slender shawl, much like a Barbie doll.

"You're in luck. It doesn't matter if her mother is behind her. In fact, this is also a very normal thing, they want to find a backer, but Sara alone is not enough. So they hope to find some people with status to marry in the empire. ”

Zhao Hongyu was careful about these women. Actually, I know it very well.

"You're the person I trust the most, so it's normal for you to be favored by them. And after they find some people with status, they can also invisibly become Sarah's help. to deal with the problems that may arise in the future. You must know that Emma has the support of the Indians, mainly the Mohicans, behind her, so Sara is very weak in the empire. ”

And these Samuel widows went to the Americas, and they must have relied on Sarah. So they need to find some help for Sara to make her more powerful. ”

Wang Shan smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, this is your family matter. If you have a headache, you have to have a headache, what does it have to do with me. And that little girl is so young, I'm not a beast. ”

Zhao Hongyu said this, Wang Shan still didn't understand the meaning behind these women.

"And I want to find a Chinese woman to be my wife, but I don't want my child to be a mixed race." , Wang Shan squirmed and said what he thought to Zhao Hongyu.

Yes, how can Wang Shan, who is an angry youth radical in Dahuaxia, tolerate that his child is a mixed race.

And now that he is following Zhao Hongyu, he will definitely become a big nobleman and have his own territory.

At that time, what flows in his heir must be pure Chinese blood.

After listening to Wang Shan's words, Zhao Hongyu shook his head.

"Why are you so radical in your thinking, I said that hybrids are smart. Finding a European woman is also considered to be genetically modified, which is of great benefit to the empire. As I said, there are very few Chinese women in the empire, and even if they do, they basically have objects, so isn't it possible that you want to love them? ”

Wang Shan pursed his mouth, feeling a little aggrieved.

"Your Highness, you can breed a female genetic person, I won't pick it."

After snorting for a while, Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu really hated iron and steel, looked at Wang Shan and scolded: "Cheap bones! The problems of women in later generations, don't you know the way, do you have to be a wife and be strict? ”

Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Wang Shan's face changed. (To be continued.) )
