In the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Li You, Lu Xiangsheng, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao and other important ministers of the imperial court gathered together, frowning and looking at the heads, armor, flags and other things on the table in the hall, and after a long time, Lu Xiangsheng raised his head and looked at Chen Xu who was loosely on these things, "You mean that these things were brought back from the American continent?" ”

"At the beginning, Jiannu was killed and caught by us, even if Yue Tuo escaped with a few men and horses, but they also went to the north, with Jiannu's ability in navigation and shipbuilding, how could they run so far?" Cao Wenzhao also looked incredible, they didn't expect that Yue Tuo and the others did not die in the ice and snow in the northeast, but also recovered on another continent.

"Your Majesty, Lu Dudu, General Cao, and the last general also couldn't believe it at the time, and thought that the aborigines of the Amerika and the Jiannu hairstyle were just a slight coincidence, and later found out the truth after capturing a group of soldiers." Chen Xu introduced, he pointed his finger to the map, and drew a line from the northeast to the North American continent, "Among the captives was a Bayala who followed Yue Tuo from Liaodong to the North American continent, according to him, Yue Tuo was only concerned about escaping at that time, and he was a little panicked, and rashly followed the ice in the north to the North American continent, and then met the local natives, and only after torture did he know that he had left the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he began to go south to find a suitable place to live, and then settled down here, and began to build cities and build ordnance, Go on expeditions to conquer the surrounding tribes, and then organize them into the Eight Banners. ”

"I didn't expect this Yue Tuo to be a capable person, how many people does he have under his command now? How many of them were Jiannu who fled here with him, and how many were natives recruited by the local area? Li You couldn't help but be surprised, it seems that this world has been completely detached from the original development by himself, the Indian Eight Banners, this Yue Tuo can really surprise himself, and I don't know who can win the final victory when such Eight Banners fight with those white people.

"According to the torture of the last general, there are less than 5,000 Jiannu who followed Yue Tuo to America, and most of them are men, and few are women, but they are much more powerful than the local Yindians in battle, and now they have conquered the Yindians tribe in a radius of thousands of miles and formed an army of tens of thousands, which should not be underestimated." Chen Xu replied, "At the beginning, I thought that bringing back the route map of the Ming Dynasty to America was the most important thing, so I didn't land to exterminate Jiannu, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

"You're doing the right thing, don't worry about building slaves, if you miss the time to send back the route map, it will be more than worth the loss." Li You didn't blame Chen Xu, but praised him for knowing the priorities of the matter, "But we can't allow Jiannu to continue to grow here, this land will eventually belong to my Ming Dynasty, if they are allowed to develop and grow, it will be a big trouble in the future." ”

"The last general asks His Majesty for permission to lead the army on the expedition, and the last general will definitely dedicate the head of Na Yuetuo in front of Your Majesty." Over the years, the Northern Naval Division has been watching the Southern Naval Division continue to report good news in Nanyang, Tianzhu and other places, and the soldiers of the Southern Naval Division have been continuously promoted and made rich, which has long made them envious, and now when they hear that there is an opportunity to fight, how can they miss it? They all took the initiative to ask for battle.

"Now the route from Daming to America has not been thoroughly explored, and it is not appropriate to send a large group of people to it." To solve the problem of these Jiannu and Yindian's army, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had to be sent, and now it was a bit risky to send so many soldiers and horses to the American continent with only one successful voyage, so Li You decisively refused the request to make a big move.

"Therefore, the next time we set sail, the size of the fleet should not exceed this time too much, and Ding Haibo will still lead the army forward, carry a thousand elite soldiers with the army, try to build a port in a suitable place, build a city and a tuntian, and find out the situation first." Things still have to come step by step, according to the current combat effectiveness of the Ming soldiers, as long as the castle is built, a thousand men and horses refuse to defend the city, even if the Jiannu pour out of the nest, there is no fear, in addition, there is another reason why Li You did not rush to start the attack, that is, the Ming Dynasty wants to occupy the North American continent, and it is inevitable that there will be a conflict with the Indians, these things are done by Yue Tuo It is much better than the Ming Dynasty himself, and after Yue Tuo clears the surrounding tribes, it is not too late for the Ming to attack again.

"The last will obey." After Chen Xu arrived on the North American continent, he was deeply surprised by the vastness and richness of this land, and he gradually realized that this continent will become more and more important in the future, maybe the focus of the development of the Northern Navy Division will be here in the future, as long as this matter can be done well, the position of the Admiral of the Northern Navy Division in the future may be his own.

"Well, once it is determined that America is indeed beneficial to my Daming, then we can consider forming my Daming's third sailor fleet, which will be specifically responsible for the continent of America at that time." He didn't expect that his chance to ascend to the Admiral throne would come so quickly, Li You quickly made arrangements, "The next time Ding Haibo returns to the sea, it will be the day when this Navy fleet will be formed, and you will be the Admiral of this new fleet at that time." ”

"Then the temporary port of this fleet will be set on Jeju Island, and we will consider changing the station in the future." It stands to reason that perhaps the ports of the Northeast or the Wa Kingdom are more suitable as the station of this naval division, but now the development of the Northeast is not perfect enough, and the Wa Kingdom is a little far away from the mainland, so it is too inconvenient to transport materials or something, so Li You set the temporary port on Jeju Island, and then make arrangements according to the specific situation in the future.

Although the position of admiral was preempted by Chen Xu, if he could join this new sailor, there must be far more opportunities for meritorious promotion than now, so the remaining generals were not discouraged and asked to join Chen Xu's fleet one after another, so as to familiarize themselves with this sea and land as soon as possible and prepare for future meritorious service.

Li You was of course happy to see this, so he agreed to their request, and let these generals who were supposed to command a small fleet serve as the captains of Chen Xu's fleet, and after months of preparation, the second sailor fleet headed for the American continent set sail from the port of Jinmen, this time the fleet was larger, the number of warships and the number of soldiers carried.

They will look for suitable ports on the west coast of the North American continent to build a base for the Ming to enter North America, and use this as a support point to gradually explore the surrounding areas to prepare for the successor army.
