Wang Hai is the commander of the Republican Northern Fleet, and although the Northern Fleet has the word fleet, it actually has only five capital ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. The strength of this fleet can overwhelm Japan, but it is still a little fragile compared to the strength of the 32 capital ships of the South Sea Fleet. Since the last expedition to the capital, the republic has been far less enthusiastic about the management of the North than the South. The fleet commander of the South Sea Fleet also often came to the Northern Fleet to pull people.
In order to change the situation of the gradual demise of the Northern Fleet, Wang Hai was determined to embody the value of the Northern Fleet. So Wang Hai used his autonomy in the Northern Fleet to draw forces to Cheng Pan, and mentioned to Cheng Pan that the big 6 across the ocean from Shenzhou was the goal of exploration. This exploration is very cautious, and Wang Hai does not have much capital in his hands. Unable to withstand the blow of shipwrecks and deaths, this exploration is carried out along the forehead of the Silk Islands.
The Silk Islands were named after the Great 6 routes in the Americas were opened up later. In the original spacetime, it was called the Aleutian Islands, where the oceanic plate was very active, and a series of volcanic islands were discovered by the Northern Fleet, which became the source of republican sulfur minerals. The exploration of the Northern Fleet thus received the support of the republic. Cheng Pan has not noticed the cause of the Northern Fleet. Cheng Pan's impression of the Pacific Ocean in later generations has always been the natural danger that cannot be crossed by the vast number of non-steamships, and there is no Chinese territory there, so Cheng Pan has not paid attention to it. As for the series of volcanic islands to the north, Cheng Pan has always thought that they are the volcanic belt of northern Japan. It is not compared to the string that Alaska sticks out of the Pacific Ocean.
Although Wang Hai, commander of the Northern Fleet, was not satisfied with his small successes, he knew that compared with the saltpeter, grain and copper ore produced in the South Seas, the importance of the Northern Fleet was still not as important as the South Ocean Fleet, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and in order for the Northern Fleet to be not inferior to the South Ocean Fleet, Wang Hai continued to advance eastward. Finally got in touch with Alaska. Seeing a piece of 6, the crew of the exploration team was very excited, in order to make sure that this was a big 6, the fleet continued to move south, after walking hundreds of kilometers along the coastline, Wang Hai had basically determined, he came to the Americas that Cheng Pan mentioned in his mouth and Shenzhou across the ocean. For the east side is the Great 6 and the west side is the sea, and the sun is from the sea in the east.
Wang Hai was very excited and said happily: "The ancients thought that the sun rose from the East China Sea and set on the West Mountain, but now we see the sun rising from the East Mountain and setting on the West Sea, and we are the first batch of people who prove that the earth rotates and the sun does not set." Due to the secrecy of the people on board, the people of this plane have no way of knowing who was the first person to set foot on the American Big 6, but the honor belongs to the exploration team. Wang Hai cautiously moved south, and in addition to being excited, he thought of what Cheng Pan said: It is very easy to produce civilization on the big 6, where the cold and warm are mixed and the four seasons are distinct. Wang Hai reminded the people of the entire exploration fleet to beware of possible local civilizations, and to be cautious of contact with them. But the further south he went, the more confused Wang Hai became, according to the soil quality here is already very suitable for cultivating grain, and if it is really not possible, he can also herd sheep and horses. Although the amount of precipitation can not be measured specifically, but along the way several freshwater rivers that flow into the sea show that there is no shortage of agricultural water here, and finally Wang Hai met the locals, and he was really relieved to encounter this Wang Hai, if a person does not have Wang Hai and thinks that this big 6 has some demons and monsters, not suitable for human survival, he will be busy in vain. Seeing this person's costume and weapons, Wang Hai was once again relieved that the exhibition range of this place was very low, and it was basically in a state of fishing and hunting, which was the same level as the Jurchens in the northeast during the Song Dynasty. Such a good piece of land is occupied by such a drop-level civilization, and the entire American Great 6 basically has nothing to stop the republican power from existing. This time in contact. Not very friendly.
Along the way through the Aleutian Islands, Wang Hai's fleet did not fail to meet the natives of the region, who were perhaps attracted by the reverence for the great warships and the sturdy iron and fine porcelain brought by the republic. The natives there were friendly to the republic, and in the past two years, they also sent people to the republic, and after learning Chinese characters and Chinese, most of the local natives agreed to pay tribute out of reverence for the powerful republic. Wang Hai's daughter has two cute little foxes with blue fur in the gray, which were exchanged from these natives. As for the two little foxes were brought to the girls' school by his daughter, it caused the jealousy of some female classmates, and after the report, it was confiscated by the teacher and became the school pet of the whole school, and the fox was not disposed of because of the Ken of Zhao Yu, the director of education, no matter what age the woman is to cute things.
Wang Hai's group came to the border between Seattle and Ottawa in the future, and as soon as they got off the boat, they were bumped into a local hunting man, and the two sides confronted each other for a while before leaving. Later, the tribe to which the locals belonged seemed to be confident in the strength of their tribe and the instinct to protect the territory, and moved seven or eight hundred people to surround it that afternoon. Wang Hai ordered the cannon to be fired, and the power of the cannon was beyond the imagination of these natives. Inexplicably was raided once, Wang Hai felt unhappy, according to the traces left in the panic when these natives fled. With a team of one hundred and fifty men plus three mortars, they chased down the road. Now it was a tribe of more than 10,000 people, and some of the local warriors were defeated by muskets. These people hid back in their tribe, and Wang Hai ordered the cannon to be fired, and three orange sparks bloomed in the tribe. After beating this round, Wang Hai's small army waited for a while, and after a while, several old men came out. Due to the language barrier between the two parties. The conversation at that time was unknown, but in later generations, the tribe had more contacts with the republic, and only then did I know that the tribe took most of the soldiers to the 6th place in Wanghai not to fight, but out of vigilance against outsiders, and as a result, the nerves of both sides led to casualties. After the exchange of fire, the natives offered livestock and some local food products. Of course, Wang Hai's purpose is not to rob, the previous war is for safety, after all, there are too many examples of ancient Chinese Hu people who are afraid of power and virtue, since they surrender, then they will offer the national gift of the Celestial Empire, porcelain, silk, and now industrialized and cloth. After the two sides expressed no hostility, further negotiations began. In the mutual understanding, Wang Hai began to be interested in their crops, corn and potatoes, the two sides exchanged pleasantly, at the same time, Wang Hai's military physician helped the wounded local warriors to treat a part of the ease, the local chieftain thought that they would be given a large amount of food and seeds for permanent residence, but Wang Hai did not ask for it, in order to offset the damage left to these natives, Wang Hai left a part of the sword (the Americans here still use wood inlaid with sharp stone chips as weapons), with a small amount of seeds and local fur gold mines. Leaving these natives stunned and left on the beach.
After determining a new route, the fleet returned the same way. The news immediately shook the republic, and it was exciting for the republic to have any cultivable land appear. As early as the Nanyang land was said by the current republican newspapers, the ultimate reason for the prosperity and turmoil of China's feudal era was the land annexation, and there were only three ways to solve this problem: the first is to strictly allocate land and restrict land annexation. The second is that the landless people will be fed by the factories that will be used to feed them, and the iron tools and steam engines produced in the factories will greatly increase the output of agriculture. At the same time, when the population reached a certain level, the Southern Song Dynasty did this, on the one hand, the Southern Song Dynasty made the Southern Song Dynasty unprecedentedly prosperous, and on the other hand, the population was controlled, and a large number of babies were drowned after birth. There was no room for the peasant uprising. The third is to expand the territory to the outside world, before the Song Dynasty, every time to open up new land can maintain China's prosperity for hundreds of years, Jingzhou was a barbaric land during the Warring States Period, Jiangnan is Wu Yue and other non-royal land, and now it is the essence of China. The term living space is known to people on the land of China, not only the republic, but also scholars of other forces have consulted the classics, and they cannot refute this fact. The opening of the South Seas was crowned with the name of fighting for the national fortune. Those criticisms of the republic for banishing the people of China into the miasma were thoroughly achieved.
The republican is no longer a conservative big six nations, and it has become the consensus of the republican to expand its territory and leave living space for future generations. Wang Han's feat of crossing the Eastern Ocean can be compared with Kuafu day by day for a while, after all, Kuafu can only look at the ocean when he comes to the East China Sea to face the ocean. But the sea crossed the ocean. The potatoes and corn brought by Wang Hai were now cultivated by the agricultural group. There is another incident, when he came to Hokkaido, some of the crew members who ate potatoes had a food poisoning incident, and Wang Hai was very angry, thinking that the natives had poisoned him in the potatoes. Later, Cheng Pan understood the situation and untied his heart knot, budding potatoes are poisonous, and potatoes without sprouts can be eaten. As for why Cheng Pan knew, Cheng Pan was involved in the travelogue left by his unwarranted master Yunyou.
A barbaric, almost ownerless land caused a frenzy in the republic, but the republic could not swallow this big fat meat in ten years, because it was a time of war in China. The population has entered a trough, to be honest, the population of China has not grown on a large scale for so many years under the rule of the Mongols, and the power of the Han people has not been strong under the tyranny of the Mongols.
Although it was impossible to emigrate on a large scale, the status of the Northern Fleet rose sharply, and Wang Hai's military rank changed from colonel to lieutenant general all of a sudden, and he was on the same level as Sun Tao of the Southern Fleet. At the same time, Cheng Pan promised to build three more capital ships of the Northern Fleet in the future, which Wang Hai was not satisfied with, but Cheng Pan choked him to death with one sentence: "There are canoes in the south, and some pirates who rob pirates in small boats can fight, why do you want so many capital ships in the north, do you want icebergs?" "The request for the capital ship was not agreed, but the size of the future transport fleet Cheng Pan agreed, and it was better than the South Seas. At the same time, Cheng Pan guaranteed that after the end of the North China War, a large-scale immigration movement began. This policy made Shaanxi ten rooms empty in later generations. Except for a few industrial cities, there are almost no people on the Loess Plateau in the Kanto region.
There is another small incident on the route of the Aleutian Islands, that is, the ice and fire island where Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min lived in seclusion two years after the North China War was revealed by the fleet. It makes no sense to live in seclusion, and the two of them immediately took their children to the Americas 6 to start the days of being farmers, Cheng Pan still has a little friendship with the two and directly gave the two of them a hundred acres of land and tractors and other agricultural machinery, and at the same time personally took care of the children of the two people who went to school in Anhui.
In 1354 A.D., the republic was spent in a state of tension and joy. At this time, the Yuan army in the north had almost solved the Red Turban Army, and it seemed that an agreement had been reached between Fang Jiajun and Chen Youding to stop attacking each other, and all the forces in China realized that the republic was now the strongest force in China, and there would be no chance after not fighting. The war is getting closer.
