The spirit of contract among Europeans, if in the narrow sense of the word, does exist.

Because the essence of European civilization, especially Ansa and Northern Europe, is pirate civilization.

Pirates drift on the seas, gathering together for profit.

For those who don't know what propriety is, the contract is indeed a vital thing.

If the spoils cannot be distributed according to the established agreement, then there is no basis for the pirate team to cooperate with each other.

This is like a team of dungeons under an online game, and the contract of sharing gold and equipment is very important.

But with a little common sense as a human being, it is clear that this degree of contract spirit is only in force within an extremely narrow scope.

Given the right conditions, tearing up contracts like shredding straw paper, or "redefining" contracts more cleverly using legal wordplay, is almost a certainty.

At the beginning of the founding of Citigroup, the extremely complex power system designed by those "great sages" was to firmly control the power to interpret the law in the hands of "superior people".

Therefore, even if the Chinese Exclusion Act is not considered more than ten years later, Zhu Fugui will not approve of Wang Jie's proposal.

With gold to serve rice, gold people are lost, this is the bloody history of later generations to give a lesson, the Ming Dynasty must not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Therefore, sending troops to Bremerton is Zhu Fugui's inevitable choice.

Of course, attacking this place was not entirely Zhu Fugui's idea of raising troops out of anger, but had a long-term consideration.

It's just that Zhu Fugui originally planned to take over a few more phases of Chinese laborers, expand the population of Xinfeng to 10,000 or 20,000, and expand the number of troops to about 5,000, and then send troops eastward.

But now the situation has changed, and Zhu Fugui must completely eliminate the Bremerton colonists before they can get the word out to the Seattle area, or even the larger white stronghold.

Of course, by that time, Bremerton would no longer be called Bremerton.

It will become the ferry port of the new Ming Dynasty.

If Xinfeng is the meaning of Xinfengyang, thinking that it is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, then Bremerton is the new Tianjin, which is the most important outlet to the sea for a long time in the future.

Therefore, this battle must only be won, not defeated, and it is necessary to completely destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time, or at least cut off Bremerton's access to the outside world.

In order to accomplish this strategic goal as quickly as possible, it is very important to choose a suitable route for the troops.

Surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only the south connected to the mainland, Bremerton looks a bit like a miniature version of Denmark.

To attack such a place, the best plan is, of course, to use a sailor.

The Seattle Greater Bay Area is located in the waters of Puget Sound, where the harbor is wide and deep, with light winds and low waves.

It is not impossible for the Daming sailors to sail down the Daming River, from Prash to the sea, and along the coast to Bremerton.

Wang Jie and others once drove a wooden sailing ship to Breppeton with a white overseer to purchase spare parts.

It's just that at present, the Ming Royal Naval Division is essentially just a fleet with more than a dozen inland river transport ships.

Purchased from later generations, the diesel-powered DW-YSC series of self-unloading carriers are made of all-steel and are structurally stronger than most of today's seagoing vessels.

But since this type of boat is designed for inland waterways, the draft is very shallow, and the paint is not resistant to seawater corrosion.

If you want to enter the sea, the risk factor is very high, and it is easy to have a rollover accident.

This made Zhu Fugui undecided.

At this moment, Wang Jie's eldest disciple, Geng Junhua, a member of the Ministry of Works, suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has designed a wing stabilizer that can improve the stability of the flat-bottomed boat, if you are just sailing in Puget Sound, it shouldn't be a big problem!" And with the existing materials, it should be possible to complete the refit of five ships in two hours. ”

"There is no time, one hour, please Geng Aiqing must complete the refit of three transport ships within an hour!" Zhu Fugui stood up excitedly.

This Geng Gong Department can always give itself a new trick!

At this time, there was no time to verify whether Geng Junhua's invention was reliable, so Zhu Fugui immediately decided to select a hundred soldiers with better water quality, put on life jackets and go to the dock to stand by.

Many of the Chinese workers are from Fujian and Guangzhou, and there are quite a few people who are good at water.

With life jackets and rubber boats, Zhu Fugui estimated that even if the ship overturned, the loss of personnel would not be too large.

The DW-YSC series of self-unloading carriers has a total power of 20 horsepower and a cargo capacity of 30 tons.

Considering the weight of the modification, plus the reserved draft, it should be relatively safe to carry 30 fighters per ship.

In addition to the 100-man sailors of the three ships, Zhu Fugui also ordered Qi Wenchang, the chief officer of the army's installed machinery, to follow the Son of Heaven.

The Ming Army will march by land at maximum capacity, regardless of vehicle damage.

Zhang Changgui, the commander-in-chief of the first town, commanded the rest of the cavalry to advance slowly to ensure the rear road.

After three expansions, the army now has more than 80 vehicles of various types (excluding horse-drawn carriages, but including diesel engine tricycles), 1,272 soldiers, 2,000 guns, and 10 earthen cannons.

This kind of military strength gave Zhu Fugui the courage to disperse his troops and advance by land and water.

All that's left is to boost morale.

The Chinese workers and Yin people who experienced the last crusade may be fine, but more than three-quarters of the current Ming population have not experienced the encouragement of that victory.

They have just come out of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they have a natural fear of Uncle Yang.

Zhu Fugui must unify his thinking in this war that gambles on the fortunes of the country.

While the ships were still being renovated and the soldiers were still assembling, Zhu Fugui came to the newly built radio studio in Xinfengcheng to carry out a brief pre-war mobilization of the whole country.

At this moment, for the first time, the voice of His Majesty the Emperor was heard by the loudspeakers of the construction workers who were still building their new homes as usual, the children who were playing in the mud by the river, the cooks preparing for lunch in the back kitchen of the cafeteria, the people who were studying the oracle bones in the museum, or the soldiers who heard the assembly posts quickly check the guns and assemble in a line, all heard the voice of His Majesty the Emperor through the loudspeakers held high.

"Emperor Zhu Shan of the Ming Dynasty (turtle) red edict to the emperor and queen of heaven said:

I have established my own land and business, and I have not damaged the white-skinned savages, and now the white-skinned savages have provoked the border for no reason, harming my Ming soldiers, and this hatred is also!

North and South America are all the homeland of Yindi, from Columbus to Lincoln, the white man has repeatedly betrayed the former alliance, silkworm my territory, forget the kindness of Mayflower, these two hatreds also!

In June last year, the bandit leader Lincoln slaughtered 36 people of the Su people, and my Ming Guozhang was also killed by this fang, and these three hatreds are also!

There is a raven, the old man of Yin Shang, the son of the Ming Dynasty, the March epidemic, sent an envoy to ask for medicine in Bremerton, and the white-skinned savage actually burned the messenger and killed my people, these four hatreds are also!

I, the Chinese people, worship the ancestors, advocate all things, know the spirit of all things, know the mystery of nature, Xiyi originated in the barren desert, create the slaughter of the Ya religion, its crossing the sea, the beautiful name of preaching, in fact, it is bad for my foundation, demagoguery, these five hatreds also!

White-skinned bandits do not know science and medicine, live a corrupt and shameless life, act dirty and do not know the etiquette, attack and shirk without knowing responsibility, so the plague is rampant, the virus spreads, and the poison is born.

In the past, Jiashen changed the sky, Shenzhou fell into the hands of the Manchurians, and the Xiyi feudal domains did not think of marching into the army to repay the emperor's kindness, but at this time, they caused chaos in the South Seas, slaughtered our Chinese, destroyed our Chinese country, colonized my loyal and obedient domains, Malacca and other countries, and the Citigroup bandits were also among them, and the seven hatreds were also!

The white bandits, who have only been in power for two or three hundred years, have done countless things against humanity: such as selling opium, slaves, etc., and the Citi bandits even used the bones of our Chinese workers to build the railway arteries of the country, and regarded the people of our state as barbarian animals, turning the world upside down, confusing and turbidity, and crowning the monkey, their crimes are monstrous, and this is the eight hatreds!

The bullying is really embarrassing, so the reason for the eight hatreds is to recruit it!

The North American slave-owning genocidal bandits must be destroyed! Wansheng! ”
