For the Ming people of the New World of North America, there is nothing more exciting than seeing the people and things in their hometown.

As they found the New World, they were excited at first, and they all looked forward to the day they returned home and enjoyed the glory of fame.

But time passed day by day, and the backwardness of the New World and the endless carrying out of things that seemed simple in the Central Plains made everyone feel bored.

Coupled with the continuous conquest in the later stage, everyone needs to do several things at the same time.

At the beginning, it was obviously the most elite border army of the Ming Dynasty, but now not only do their own things to kill, but also some people want to build walled cities, some people want to build docks, some people want to reclaim and farm, and some people want to do things such as salt washing, bridge building, road repair, breeding, etc.

This has been the case for a long time, and many people have begun to wonder what they are going to do in this new continent.

Every day, when I opened my eyes, I either received an order to go deep into the Great Plains again to fight those natives, or I had to do those tedious things by the sea.

When the naval fleet appeared on the surface of the sea.

The news reached everyone's ears in an instant, as if it had been plugged into wings.

Thereupon.

The entire walled city by the sea was boiling.

The king has arrived.

This indicates that the imperial court will finally begin to vigorously develop the New World, and they, the first batch of meritorious men who have found the New World, will finally have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains, to accept the rewards of the imperial court, to reunite with other family members, and to return to the familiar but seemingly somewhat unfamiliar original life.

Holding hoes, shovels, dustpans, and other things in their hands, the Ming people waved their hands at the docks and on the shore towards the fleet that was slowly approaching the sea.

The natives of the New World, whom Zhu Yunwen called the Yindians, had already put on their characteristic makeup and danced their own dances in groups on the dock.

Colorful clothes and colorful feathers.

For a while, it was extraordinarily good-looking.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at these Yin Di'an people who were singing and dancing, and tilted his head to look at Sun Cheng on the side: "Perhaps, this is the meaning of our existence here." ”

Sun Cheng didn't quite understand what Zhu Yunwen's exclamation meant at this time.

There was a look of confusion on his face.

Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "Naturally, we will sit at the seat and watch these people sing and dance." ”

I didn't expect him to say such a reason.

This made Sun Cheng a little unexpected.

At this time, the clippers sent by the fleet had already sent the first batch of Royal Navy fleet officers and sailors to the docks.

"Report!"

"The chief officer of the Dongdu Detachment of the East China Sea Fleet of the Ming Royal Navy, General Zhu Shou, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, has ordered the eastward crossing of the New World, the fleet has arrived, please send someone to pilot the pier trestle."

Zhu Yunwen smiled: "It turned out that Zhu Shou, the Marquis of the Boat, is here, hurry up and send someone to follow him to lead the way." ”

Sun Cheng, who was beside him, understood and immediately picked out a few people and asked them to follow the people who went ashore with the fleet to return to the fleet by boat.

Although they did not build ships in the New World, the ships that came into contact with the Indian people still groped the waters outside the docks.

This is also what Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng were ready to do from the beginning. Once the imperial court wanted to vigorously develop the New World, it would certainly send a team not only from the road where they came, but also from the sea.

So they built the pier and explored the channel outside the pier into the deep water.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng stood at the front of the dock.

After a while, I saw the fleet begin to line up and slowly sail towards the dock.

The first is the first steam warship belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Guided by a few small boats that had been put into the water, the warship finally stopped at the dock with waves of spray.

At this time, Zhu Shou had already changed into his marquis court clothes, and the complement pattern was open and majestic.

Behind him, he was followed by officials from various ministries and departments whose names had been replaced by the Ming Dynasty, and finally well-equipped naval officers and men.

Such a scene is naturally very familiar to Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng.

But for the Yindians here, it was an unprecedented scene.

The ship docked at the pier was as tall as a mountain, and the chimney was spewing smoke.

There was a queue on the sea, as if there was no boundless fleet.

These richly dressed people, those officers and soldiers in armor.

All of this has given them a huge impact.

What those people say is true!

On the other side of the sea, there is a powerful and rich kingdom of heaven.

Because of the constant wars that came in, the Yin Di'an people who were temporarily shaken and attached to Zhu Yunwen and them were about to pop out at this time.

It's all true.

That also indicates that they can really live a good life in heaven.

There was nothing wrong with their choice.

It is the other races of the Great Plains who do not want to belong to Heaven.

Zhu Yunwen took Sun Cheng forward, and the two bowed: "...... Hou Jia"

Before Zhu Yunwen's words were finished, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of the Gun, had already stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hands to support Zhu Yunwen's arms.

After straightening Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Shou's face perked, his expression was solemn, and he stretched out his right hand.

Behind him, an official of the Ministry of Rites immediately took out a holy decree from a wooden box.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng glanced at each other.

Knowing that this is a new will of the imperial court.

Zhu Shou unfolded the holy decree and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Yunwen, Sun Cheng, lead the decree." ”

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng immediately knelt down in public.

Behind the two of them, all the Ming troops knelt down. The surrounding Indians saw these heavenly people kneeling, and although they didn't know why they did this, they still chose to imitate kneeling on the ground.

Zhu Shou frowned at this time, ready to start reading the will.

"Feng, the emperor of heaven, the edict said: Qiankun Huanyu, the size of heaven and earth, not the Central Plains, the new land explored by the country today, is the work of the outpost, and the country can not forget. Governor Zhu Yunwen is the political affairs of the new Continental Army and the governor of the new Jinling. Sun Cheng and Jinyi Weidu commanded the ranks, gave bullfighting clothes, rewarded 3,000 acres of fertile land in Nanzhili, and 100 households in Jinyiwei. The rest were all promoted to the third level, rewarded with 100 taels of gold, and rewarded the New World for cultivating 1,000 acres of land. ”

Starting from Zhu Yunwen, everyone has been added to the ranks.

In an instant, the dock was boiling again.

Many soldiers in the army cried with joy and tears.

The court knows that it is not easy for them, and it knows their contributions.

Zhu Yunwen was still a little dazed at this time.

The governor of the new Continental Army, the governor of the new Jinling, what kind of errand is this?

He didn't understand that the Ming Dynasty had never had such an official position.

But Sun Cheng trembled with excitement.

Once he became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, although he only had an official rank, he had no real position. But once the current commander of the Jinyi Guard resigns from his post, then he is the most likely person to take over the Jinyi Guard.

And Nanzhili's 3,000 acres of fertile land and 100 households of Jinyi Wei in Yin Yiyi gave his Sun family an opportunity to carry forward.

As for the others, the third rank of the official will probably not be transferred to the army until he returns to Beijing, and he will be placed in a suitable position. And the thousands of acres of fertile land in the New World will probably be managed by the New World government in the future, and the imperial court will transfer money and grain to them.

Either way, everyone was given what they deserved.

Zhu Shou stepped forward at this time, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yunwen up, and delivered the holy decree to him.

"From now on, the governor is justified, everything in the new world will be decided by the governor alone, and how much the court can get in return in the new continent will be tied to the governor alone."

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly.

The will did not mention that he would restore his clan identity and status, but listening to Zhu Shou's words, this New World Governor seems to be a terrible thing.

Sun Cheng glanced at Zhu Yunwen, stepped forward and asked on the side: "This will of the imperial court...... I don't know what the purpose is? What is this new Jinling? ”

Zhu Shou smiled and explained: "This is what Taisun meant, when the news from here came back to Beijing, Taisun made a decision on this matter." For the time being, there will be no provincial prefectures and counties in the New World, but a Yamen, the governor of the New World, who will be responsible for all affairs in the New World. As for the new Jinling, it was the imperial court that hoped to build a city here, and the name was New Jinling. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Shou looked at the walled city behind the dock.

His eyes are self-explanatory.

Zhu Yunwen, the governor of the new Continental Army, will decide all the things on the North American continent in the future.

And the seaside behind them will also expand that walled city into a city.

The governor of the new Jinling is probably an official position similar to that of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace. It has the right to decide on the appointment, appointment and dismissal of officials on this side of the New World.

This is a feudal official who controls one side.

Although he did not restore his clan identity, Zhu Yunwen was still surprised.

Zhu Shou whispered again: "Taisun has high hopes for the New World, and this time I will wait until I return to Beijing and thoroughly explore the sea route, and then the imperial court will move people here on a large scale." In the future, the Ministry of Industry will build faster sea ships, and the communication between the imperial court and the New World will be more convenient. ”

Listening to Zhu Shou say this.

Zhu Yunwen's gaze was already looking at the warship docked at the dock behind the other party, which was different from the previous style.

"The imperial court seems to have changed a lot in the past two years......"

He just said something with emotion, but Zhu Shou raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, quite a lot!" Zhu Shou's eyes flashed: "The imperial court has implemented the Hongwu New Deal in the past two years, and the people's lives are getting better and better.

This time, before the old minister went to sea, the imperial court was already doing something to completely abolish the southwest Tusi system, and the 18 prefectures of Gyeonggi set up a governor of Zhili. There is also the western railway from Henan Province to Hamiwei, which is thousands of miles away, and it will be enough to arrive in a few days in the future.

Let's just say that the current flagship of the fleet, the steam warship, is also the latest to be built by the Ministry of Industry.

Listening to what was said over there, Zhang Shangshu was already developing a warship made of steel all over the body, if it could really come out. When the time comes, it will be more convenient and faster to travel to and from New Jinling. ”

Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, and after leaving the Central Plains for several years, he never thought that the imperial court would change so much now.

Sun Cheng was also a little surprised.

I can't help but feel a little emotional, I am not in the court, but I have already given birth to so many things and so many changes.

Zhu Shou said again: "The DPRK and China are changing a lot at the moment, Your Majesty and the cabinet are inspiring to make new plans, and the new continent will become more and more important in the future. ”

He didn't mention Zhu Yunwen's official position.

Even if Zhu Yunwen is now the governor of the New World, he is also the governor of New Jinling. According to the official system stipulated by the imperial court, it is already equivalent to the status of Zou Xueyu, the governor of Zhili.

Even, the territory of the New World is comparable to that of the Central Plains, and Zhu Yunwen's power is logically greater than that of Zou Xueyu.

It's just that the New World is a New World after all, and in the eyes of the imperial court and the people of the Central Plains, it is just a deserted land with few people.

What matters is not how great the official position and power are, but whether the New World can give the imperial court a satisfactory result.

As long as the people on this side of the New World do a good enough job and bring enough benefits to the imperial court, then everyone will be promoted and rich.

Zhu Shou's eyes flickered.

In the future, he will probably have to keep going back and forth between the Central Plains and the New World, and the officials of the various ministries and departments who followed him this time will have to stay in the new Jinling City that has not yet been built for a long time.

It may take a few years and effort for these people to return to Beijing.

When the imperial court selected officials to come to the New World, it considered it in many ways.

Be young and have no family, and be old and careless.

The older ones have a lot of experience, and the younger ones are able to work.

On the contrary, those officials in their thirties and forties, who have a lot of things to do, are unlikely to stay in the New World for several years.

After some conversation, the fleet also began to dock at the dockside in rotation, bringing personnel and supplies to shore.

And these vacant ships will not return to the Central Plains so soon, but will sail along the west coast in the north and south directions under the leadership of Zhu Yunwen and others, and explore farther places.

As for the manpower brought by the Ministry of Industry, they will also mine the proven mineral deposits in the shortest possible time, establish a metallurgical industry, and deliver materials to the imperial court.

With support in place.

The North American continent ushered in the first cross-era rapid development.

Countless manpower and resources were transported to New Jinling.

The walled city they had built by the sea in the early stage was abandoned and became an outpost of the coastal defense line. The new Jinling City is located in the triangle area next to the inland water area behind the strait.

The dock by the sea is of little use, the water depth is not enough, and if the imperial court develops a larger ship in the future, it will not be able to dock.

However, the inland water area in the strait belongs to a rare deep-water port, and it is very suitable to keep an eye on the south of the new Jinling City.

With Zhu Shoulai's naval officers and men, some of them went east to continue exploring the new continent, while most of them turned into workers on the spot and began to build the first city of the Ming Dynasty on the new continent.

(Topographic map of San Francisco and to the east, since the beginning of the 30th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, this place has belonged to China since ancient times!) Hahaha, play a stalk~)
