Duan Fei's voice rumbled through the hall, but the people who heard it looked at each other, and they hurriedly asked, "My lord, now it takes a lot of money to form an army and build a city wall, and I am afraid that it will not be enough for us and Lord Haizi to contribute money." ”

Duan Fei smiled and said, "When did the national prince say that he wanted you to contribute independently?" The four major maritime merchants and the four major merchants of the Ming Dynasty are all together, are you still afraid that the American Development Corporation will have no money? ”

"Hehe, Wen Rencai, Wen Rencai, you have been to Haizi for many years, don't you even recognize the old proprietor?" A middle-aged man who followed Duan Fei in behind smiled.

Hearing the prestige, he was stunned for a moment before he woke up and said, "It turned out to be the second young master, please forgive the old slave for being rude, I don't know if the old master and the eldest young master are okay?" ”

The second young master was one of the four great maritime merchants, and when he heard this, he sighed lightly: "Daddy has passed away the year before last, and the eldest brother stayed on Paradise Island to preside over business, and I was ordered to come to help Grandpa Guo." ”

Wen Rencai couldn't help but burst into tears, Duan Fei interrupted them and said: "Okay, now that the national government has announced the establishment of the Inter-American Development Corporation, now count the amount of money that everyone is ready to donate, in the future, everyone will be the original shareholders of the Inter-American Development Corporation, and the person with the largest number of shares will become the president of the new company and also serve as the chairman of the board of directors......"

Duan Fei announced the articles of association of the board of directors of the American Development Corporation, and when everyone had no objections, they began to invest in shares privately, and when everyone invested their intentions, Duan Fei counted them, and finally announced: "The total amount of funds raised by the American Development Corporation for the first time was 31 million taels of silver, of which the largest shareholder was Haizi, a merchant of the sea, and his investment was as high as 8,150,000 taels of silver, followed by ......."

Haizi's investment is actually understandable at most, because he has gradually turned his business to North America over the years, and even he has handed over the Australian side to his subordinates to run it fully, and others still have a lot of business elsewhere, even if they know that this is definitely a profitable business, it is impossible to draw too much money to invest in North America at once.

In recent years, the merchants who followed Duan Fei have earned a lot of money, so after he released the news that he was going to come to Japan this time, although the merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty felt that the Americas were too far away, and most of them had never heard of this name, they still sent people to take a look, and only a few people who were close to Duan Fei invested their blood.

In fact, most of the 31 million taels of silver were empty, and these merchants had to be shipped from Daming one after another, but at least the basic funds were available, and the board of directors of the American Development Corporation held the first board of directors in the absence of the chairman and temporarily represented by his representative Wen Rencai, and everyone began to discuss how to make money in this new continent.

Duan Fei took the silver ticket and recruited troops to repair the city wall.

Today's enemies also have cannons, so what's the use of building walls? In fact, the city wall is still useful, the reason why the artillery of the army is not powerful in Japan, that is because the Japanese city wall has never experienced such a strong attack, in Japan thousands of people in the war is a big war, in exchange for to attack a strong city like Beijing and Nanjing, with the current cannon, at least hundreds of cannons to bombard a whole day before it can be destroyed.

The solid city wall still has a certain defensive ability against today's artillery, and it is unlikely that those white coalition troops will come all the way to pull the cannon to the west coast of North America, and the enemy who attacked the port that day did not carry the cannon, so building a strong wall is enough to resist the enemy's conventional attacks.

After more than ten days in a row, the city wall was gradually repaired, Duan Fei recruited a group of soldiers, who were practicing day and night, most of these soldiers were brought from Japan, stupid and stupid, but fortunately, they were still obedient, and gave them some hope of returning home, and they devoted themselves to training with a hundred times more energy.

In addition to repairing the city wall to train soldiers, Duan Fei also brought a group of craftsmen, who wanted to take root in North America, and set up a factory to make muskets, grenades, and cannons in this Rocky Mountain port, and the corresponding iron-smelting factory and gunpowder workshop were also in full swing.

The new businessmen began to do business with the Indians, because the North American Development Company had strict regulations, and the new businessmen did not dare to violate the rules and harm the interests of the Indians.

In this case, on the twenty-first day of Duan Fei's arrival in North America, the expeditionary force led by Haizi finally returned.

"Win, we win!" The cheers quickly spread throughout the Rocky Mountain Port, and when he heard the cheers, Duan Fei's hanging heart also relaxed, but when the expeditionary force returned to the port, Duan Fei's heart couldn't help but sink, because there were too few people coming back, and there were many injuries, and everyone had sadness on their faces, Duan Fei swept over at a glance, and didn't see Haizi, Duan Fei's heart twitched suddenly, and he shouted and asked, "Where is Haizi?" What about Haizi? ”

A bandaged hand was raised on a stretcher, and a person who even had his head tightly wrapped in his head reluctantly raised his head to Duan Fei and said, "Lord Guogong, I'm ...... I'm ...... here."

Duan Fei swooped over to the stretcher, held Haizi's hand, and asked, "Haizi, are you okay?" ”

Haizi reluctantly smiled and said: "It's okay, I can't die, Lord Guogong, we burned the enemy's grain, grass and ammunition, and then it's up to Lord Guogong." ”

Duan Fei said angrily: "What the hell Lord Guogong, I'm your Brother Fei!" Haizi, don't scare me, come on, quickly send these heroes who have returned from the expedition to the hospital for good treatment! ”

He Hai was carried into the city government building, Su Rong understood as soon as she gave He Hai a pulse, she glanced at Duan Fei, Duan Fei signaled to retreat left and right, and then Duan Fei kicked He Hai and said, "Stinky boy, why are you pretending to be dead if you have nothing to do?" ”

He Hai grinned in pain, he sat up from the stretcher, and said: "Brother Fei, everyone has suffered heavy casualties, I am indeed injured, I only controlled the injury two days ago, and there is a reason why I pretend to be seriously injured, so that I can be lazy for a while, and everything will be handed over to you Brother Fei." ”

Duan Fei said: "Ghost elf, do you think your mind can hide from me?" Don't worry, my lord has already subdued everyone, you hurry up and get me well, and there are still tasks to be handed over to you. ”

He Hai perked up and said happily: "What's the matter?" Brother Fei, you say, I will risk my life to do it for you. ”

Duan Fei said: "Have you ever been to the southern part of the Americas?" I want you to go to the South immediately and find out the situation in South America today, we can't just focus on North America, we still have to do something in South America. ”

He Hai suddenly said: "I understand, Fei Ge wants me to go to South America to see if there are any people worthy of our support, so that they can fight against the Caucasian race and drag the Caucasian race." ”

Duan Fei said: "Almost, you will be able to act when the opportunity comes, even if you join forces with the Francophone to divide the Americas equally." ”

He Hai smiled and said, "Brother Fei, I finally understand now, just do as you say." ”

Duan Fei smiled: "With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to do, but we just got together again, and we are going to break up in a few days, which is really a little reluctant." ”

He Haidao: "Brother Fei, we are not old yet, it will be not too late to get together again in twenty or thirty years, and slowly enjoy Fuyi and get children and grandchildren." ”

Duan Fei smiled happily and looked at Su Rong gently......

After a few days, He Hai really took a big ship and a few frigates to the south, and after the white supply base was destroyed by He Hai himself, the fierce white coalition began to retreat, Duan Fei did not send troops to chase, but informed the Indians, according to their chieftain sent someone to report that they would send people to pursue along the way, and contact other tribes to ambush these robbers on the road.

Duan Fei didn't fight a battle that he was not sure of, he dived into the development of the Rocky Mountain Port, found a large iron ore in the Rocky Mountains, and a large amount of sulfur and other minerals, Duan Fei asked the Indians to help with mining, in exchange for food and daily necessities, the Indians were very happy and willing to help.

When Duan Fei came to North America, it was the end of summer, but the summer rain here was abundant, and corn could still be planted.

Duan Fei heard that those whites had retreated to the east coast, so he immediately sent people to occupy the few harbor bases that Haizi had lost, although there was no way to build a tall city wall for a while, but there were Indian allies watching those whites, and there was no need to worry that those whites would suddenly kill.

In the spring of the second year, more Ming people came to this new land, which greatly relieved the population pressure in the Ming Dynasty, from the news brought by these people, Duan Fei learned that the Ming Dynasty's conquest of the tile spur was very smooth, the tile spur surrendered without much resistance, the musket and cannon are powerful in the grassland, not to mention that the Ming also mobilized the troops of the original Tatars, and the tile spur did not have the power to fight back at all.

After the conquest of the Ming Dynasty, the threat in the north of the Ming Dynasty has almost completely disappeared, Russia has not yet developed, the entire Siberia and Northeast Asia only need to be occupied by the Ming Dynasty, what a vast land it is, although some people think that it is useless to occupy the cold and frozen there, but Zhengde is an ambitious emperor, he still decided to send troops to occupy these places, I heard that the merchants who are full of gold in the north run faster than the soldiers, and go to grab the land first.

As long as the problem of inconvenient transportation and severe cold is solved, it will not be a problem for the Ming to occupy the whole of Siberia and Northeast Asia, the problem is that it suddenly occupies so many places, and the original greatly surplus population of the Ming Dynasty suddenly seems to be not enough.

Duan Fei has been nesting in North America for two years, and the total Chinese population in North America has reached 100,000, but it is still too small compared to the vast North American continent, even if the policy of encouraging childbirth has caused all the Ming territories, including Tatars, Tile Thorns and North America, to be full of pregnant women and children all over the ground, but if you want to see the effect, it will take at least fifteen years, Duan Fei thought hard......
