On August 12, 34th year of Taiping, Quebec City, northeastern part of the French colony of Yinzhou.

The 6th Detachment of the Third Fleet of the New Tianfu Huangzhuang Navy arrived at the foot of Quebec City along the mouth of the St. Lawrence River.

The name Quebec comes from the language of the local Yin Algonquin tribe, meaning "where the river narrows".

The St. Lawrence River does narrow here, and with the Île d'Orléans in the mouth ahead, the area is like a chokehold.

Quebec is also the northeastern outlet of the entire French colony and the Great Lakes region, and even the Honey River basin, which will be connected later, and the entire North Yinzhou water network.

Therefore, Quebec is known as Gibraltar on the mainland of Yinzhou.

Although this may be an exaggerated boast, this city at the mouth of the river port is indeed very important.

Quebec would be the first large city to be accepted by the Ming in the northeast of Yinzhou.

The French troops and officials stationed in Quebec, although they had been notified half a month earlier, were urging the residents to leave these days.

France, like Portugal, wants to take as many immigrants as possible.

Quebec in France is much more convenient than Rio in Portugal, and across the St. Lawrence River is the French colony.

There is also a ready-made Quebec Bridge over the St. Lawrence River.

The historic Ponte du Québec is a well-known negative textbook in engineering.

In the 1850s, the local residents were eager to build the bridge, and in 1887 local businessmen formed a bridge building committee, and in 1900 the bridge was started.

In 1907, the bridge was nearing completion, but the bridge suddenly collapsed on the eve of the ribbon cutting, resulting in the death of 75 workers.

Construction of the bridge resumed in 1913, and in 1916 there was another major accident in which a support member broke, killing 13 workers.

The bridge was not finally completed until 1917.

Most of the people who originally wanted to build the bridge are no longer there, and the bridge building committee has been in existence for 30 years.

The construction of the Quebec Bridge in this world was started more than 100 years earlier than in history.

Both the bridge and the local residents were fortunate that the construction of the bridge was completed smoothly and was quickly put into use.

At the same time, France did not want immigrants to come into contact with the Ming people, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts and unpredictable consequences.

The atmosphere of public opinion in French colonization was not much better than that of British America, and it was also sitting on a string that was about to break.

But neither the officials nor the local residents expected the Ming troops to come so quickly.

A large number of residents are still stranded in the city.

Some residents are simply slow-moving, but there are also many who are reluctant to leave.

The reasons for the reluctance to leave are two extremes.

There are those who refuse to leave the place where they have lived for a long time, and oppose the cession of the land on which France is located.

Some fantasized about becoming citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and did not want the French to force them to go elsewhere to reopen the wasteland.

When the fleet under the banner of the Ming Dynasty sailed into the port of Quebec, the port, which had been busy to some chaos, slowly came to a halt.

Whether it's someone who is leaving, someone who refuses to leave, or someone who doesn't want to leave, everyone stops.

Let's look at the exotic ships that came from afar.

However, they also reacted quickly, and the chaotic discussion became a chorus.

"It's Daming's ship!"

"They're here to drive us away from our homes—"

"My house, my field, everything I have is here, and no one can drive me away!"

"I'm going to petition the officials of Daming and ask them to allow us to stay!"

"Don't surrender to the Akito, we should go and fight!"

These remarks do not affect the actions of the Ming people.

Daming's ship slowly came to a halt on the dock and lowered the gangway.

More than 300 army soldiers of a division walked down the gangway with rifles on their backs and ran and scattered on the docks.

After checking the surroundings, driving away the crowd that was too close, and controlling the situation at the pier, lined up on both sides of the road.

During the agricultural era, the average height of the Ming people was not inferior to that of the Taixi countries.

During the First World War, the Beiyang government sent 140,000 Chinese laborers to Britain and France.

Britain and France had the impression that they were all strong men, which was very different from the short impression that Americans had of Chinese workers.

Because most of the Chinese workers who went to the United States to build railroads were "piglets" who were sold over, and they were the poorest class who could not survive.

The Chinese workers requested by Britain and France were selected from the Shandong region with the cooperation of the Beiyang government.

The British recorded at the time that some of the Chinese laborers could be more than six feet, or 183 centimeters, tall.

Many old photographs left at that time show that many Chinese laborers were taller than the British and French soldiers and officers.

This shows that before industrialization, large quantities of "strong men" who were taller than Europeans could already be found in the East.

This shows that there is no difference between the two sides on the physical basis.

After all, the number of 140,000 was enough to form ten divisions, and it was impossible for British and French soldiers to find short ones.

In other eras, there is a gap between the general physical fitness of the two sides, and it should be mainly due to the nutritional gap caused by the standard of living.

And the Ming Dynasty of this world has been first industrialized for more than a hundred years.

It also controlled the grasslands in the north of the mainland, the Nanyang Islands, the Tiannan Continent, and the grasslands of Nanyinzhou.

Before the start of the war, the standard of living of the normal working class of the Ming Dynasty had far surpassed that of the peasants of the agricultural era.

It was the continuous consumption in the middle and late stages of the war that caused the living standards of ordinary people to continue to decline.

And the new Tianfu is different.

The new Tianfu Huangzhuang is the "retreat" of the Ming royal family, and the benefits received by ordinary people here are world-leading.

There are basically no extreme poverty classes, and there are few extremely wealthy groups, and middle-rich families make up the vast majority of society.

Even ordinary Yin people, as long as they don't stay in the old forest and don't come out, as long as they are willing to work for Huangzhuang, they can be fed and clothed.

Their education made them generally understand that their present good life came from the special care of the emperor.

In this way, it can be ensured that when the emperor runs away to Xintianfu, he can be directly accepted by them and continue to be the emperor in Xintianfu.

Xintianfu controls the grasslands and great plains of Southern Yinzhou, and grain and meat have been in a state of oversupply for a long time.

As a result, their standard of living has not fallen by the war.

Their motivation to defend the present good life is very strong, and the desire to seize more land for the emperor and the imperial estate is very strong.

The soldiers of the Xintianfu Huangzhuang in Nanyinzhou were all born in the middle class.

I grew up eating enough meat since I was a child, and I was screened once when I joined the army.

Therefore, the soldiers who come out now are basically tall and sturdy young men.

Their lowest height is 1.72 meters, and most of them are above 1.75 meters.

They made a stop on the pier, which was obviously taller than the local average person, and the surrounding French people were rarely more than 1.7 meters tall.

The key is that these soldiers were born in Xintianfu Huangzhuang, and theoretically they were the personal soldiers of the emperor of the world empire, and before getting off the ship, they all changed into gorgeous military dresses similar to the Jinyi Wei Feiyu suit.

This makes the spirit of their whole team obviously different from that of the local French.

The colonial immigrants on the French side were either poor people who couldn't survive at home, or speculative small businessmen,

There is a gap between them and the Huangzhuang soldiers in terms of image and temperament, coupled with the cultural strength of the Ming Dynasty, which further widens the gap in psychological perception.

Many colonial men were ashamed of themselves when they looked at these Ming soldiers.

Many women looked at the soldiers in a daze.

The previous discussions have also obviously disappeared a lot, and many of those who shouted to fight are now afraid to speak out.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stood in a row on the dock, without any superfluous movements.

A few more people came down from the boat.

First of all, the officer, Si Zhen Fu Chen Shaohong, and Si Supervisor Zhu Guangjun.

After the Renmu Dynasty, Emperor Sejo reformed the system of supervising the army, changed the position from special to fixed, and greatly adjusted his authority.

Most of the permanent overseers of all troops above the post level are appointed by the distant clans and relatives, and the overseers above the rank are directly appointed by the emperor.

The Overseers were responsible for supervising military discipline, giving regular ideological and cultural classes to soldiers in peacetime, and dealing with civilians and officials when carrying out their duties.

Under normal circumstances, the Overseer may not interfere with operational command, but the Overseer may stop and take over the army when an officer issues a manifestly unreasonable order.

However, after supervising the military, he must be relieved of his duties, go to the Military Aircraft Department and the Zongren Mansion alone to explain, file and report to the emperor.

Then there is the chief of the West Factory, which is commonly known as the stall head, Lu Liang, and several officers under him, which is commonly known as Fanzi.

Emperor Shizu reduced the size of the court and gradually abolished the eunuch system, and the inner court used widowed strong women to do odd jobs.

Foreign slaves were not qualified to enter the court, nor were they qualified to be eunuchs.

All the things in the factory are all normal people a long time ago.

The Governor was in charge of the military occupation, the Overseer was in charge of temporary civil affairs, and the Stallhead was in charge of things off the table.

They are the smallest team that has taken over a city militarily.

Several people stood on the pier and looked at the surrounding buildings and scenes, Chen Shaohong said with emotion:

"Oh, the scenery of this place is not bad, but it's too cold, it's August now, why is it still so cold, it's just over ten degrees, and Xintianfu seems to be more than twenty degrees......"

Overseer Zhu Guangrui smiled and said:

"Lao Chen, you are used to it in Southern Yinzhou, this is about to be August 15, can the weather in the northern hemisphere not be cold.

"And it's forty-six degrees north latitude, as north as Hecheng (Qiqihar).

"If you have to compare, it's actually much warmer here than our Daming locality, do you know what Hecheng looks like at this time?"

Chen Shaohong immediately reacted:

"That's right, we're in the southern hemisphere, this is the northern hemisphere, it's almost winter in the northern hemisphere, and it's getting colder and colder."

The two of them were chatting here, and the crowd around them also moved.

A middle-aged man in a priest's robe came to the dock in a panic with a group of people.

Acting Mayor of Quebec, Archbishop of Quebec, Geoffrey.

When Daming's fleet entered the Quebec docks, Jeffrey received the news.

But a little thing stumbled, so I arrived at the scene a little late.

Jeffrey ran under the boat, bowed to Chen Shaohong and the others, panted slightly, and greeted him in a fairly standard Daming elegant language:

"Acting Mayor of Baja Quebec, Geoffrey, made several generals wait for a long time......"

Chen Shaohong took a step back directly, stretched out his hand and waved in front of his nose, with a very disgusted expression.

Zhu Guangrui didn't retreat, but he also bent his fingers slightly and covered up in front of his mouth and nose.

The two didn't mean to humiliate this time, the two of them did smell it.

Some of the soldiers who had been on the boat for several days in a row and had not yet bathed did not smell so much.

Jeffrey was suddenly embarrassed and quickly took a step back.

I was mainly exercising before I received the message, and I was even more nervous after receiving the message, and then I ran all the way like this.

I was sweating all over the front and back, and the smell came out directly.

Jeffrey didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what the two Ming officers did, but quickly clamped his two arms and apologized carefully:

"Reckless, reckless, please forgive me, several Ming generals......"

Chen Shaohong didn't want to talk nonsense with him, pointed to the immigrants in the distance around him, and instructed Jeffrey:

"There's nothing to say between us, let those who want to leave hurry up, this place is now ours."

Jeffrey said helplessly:

"Yes...... We know, but ...... Some people have lived here for many years, and they have a lot of things in their homes and are reluctant to leave......"

Chen Shaohong kept a straight face and didn't speak, but Zhu Guangjun immediately slammed back, and he slammed it very loudly, so that the surrounding soldiers could hear it:

"No matter how long you live here, can you have the ancestors of the Yin people for a long time? The Yin people have let you kill them all.

"Our Highness has been magnanimous in letting you leave on your own.

"On the other side of the river is your territory, and there is a ready-made bridge over the river, giving you three days to cross the river.

"Before the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Ming calendar, the handover of Quebec City must be completed.

"We are now beginning to take over city institutions and military facilities."

Jeffrey could only nod helplessly in agreement:

"Okay, I will, no matter what method is used, I will definitely let everyone leave as soon as possible......"

In this way, after the two sides met, they took out documents to confirm each other's identities, and they were ready to officially start the handover of the city.

It was during this process that there was some commotion among the crowd not far away.

Zhu Guangjun looked up and found that there was a group of French people wearing Ming costumes, trying to rush into the circle surrounded by Ming soldiers.

Of course, the soldiers didn't let them in, so they directly held their rifles sideways, blocked them hard, and shouted in their mouths:

"Stand back! Back off! Otherwise we're going to shoot! ”

Zhu Guangjun thought about it for a while, and then called a few guards to go over with him to take a look.

When the French over there saw Zhu Guangrui coming, they immediately stopped struggling, and the soldiers also stopped blocking.

Before Zhu Guangjun could ask, some of them shouted loudly in a very non-standard Daming Yayan:

"General of the Ming Dynasty, we don't want to leave here, we want to continue to live here."

Zhu Guangjun's tone was quite gentle, but he actually said very indifferently:

"I'm sorry, you are French citizens, so it is not under our control, and we can't force you to stay."

Someone on the opposite side immediately shouted:

"We are not French citizens, and France will not give us citizenship!"

Zhu Guangjun continued to explain the refusal, saying:

"Then you are also residents of the French colonies, and according to the peace treaty signed between the Ming Dynasty and France, we have no right to decide whether you will stay or not.

"Moreover, even if the French do not take you and allow you to stay, you will only be granted the right of abode in your local vassal state."

There was silence on the other side for a while, and then a man shouted:

"The right of abode is fine!"

"I am willing to stay if I have the right of abode!"

"The right of abode in the Ming vassal state is also better than that of the French colonies."

Zhu Guangjun still said the same thing:

"We need to keep the peace treaty with France, and you are still under the administration of the French colonies."

The crowd on the opposite side began to plead again, and only the right of abode was willing to stay.

But Zhu Guangjun was completely unmoved.

Zhu Guangjun himself actually has no objection to leaving a group of Xiyi as low-level workers, Xiyi is at least much better than black slaves.

But His Royal Highness the Great Food King, who is in charge of these things, is not interested in this.

On the other side, Chen Shaohong, the chief of the West Factory, and Lu Liang, the head of the West Factory, also followed.

Chen Shaohong said with a dry smile:

"Overseer, the details of our peace treaty with the French don't matter at all.

"We want to leave a group of Xiyi to work for us, and they don't dare to gossip at all.

"I remember that Xichang needs this kind of person, the image of our Ming people is too different from Xiyi, and a lot of fine work can't be done."

Chen Shaohong glanced at Lu Liang as he spoke, and Lu Liang shook his head with a smile and said:

"Thank you Chen Zhenfu for your kindness, but they are not the people we need the most in the West Factory, and there are many such people who can be found casually.

"But if you want to do fine work for the West Factory, then they are not qualified, and their temperament is too easy to see."

Chen Shaohong is interested now:

"This kind of heart to our Ming is not qualified, so what kind of person does it have to be to enter the eyes of your West Factory?"

Lu Liang casually explained:

"First of all, it can't be a 'Minghua element' itself, it's better to be an ordinary person in Xiyi.

"But they may be depressed, they may have suffered a lot of grievances in their society, and it is better to have some ability.

"Ideologically, they are still in the way of Xiyi, but they will work for us Daming."

Chen Shaohong frowned and shook his head and said:

"Your job is too complicated, and even if there are such people, there is no way to simply screen them out."

Lu Liang smiled and said:

"So don't bother the general, we can do this kind of work by ourselves."
