The vigorous religious rectification lasted for half a year before it ended, and more than 30,000 people from the Ming Dynasty could have expelled them from the country, but who knew that Zheng Zhilong and He Tengjiao marched too fast, and it didn't take long to control both sides of the West Red Sea, so the excavation of the Grand Canal had to start in advance.

The Suez Canal in later generations has more than 190 kilometers, and it has been dug for many years, so digging the Grand Canal is a labor-intensive and time-consuming work, and there were tens of thousands of prisoners of the Dutch East India Company before, and tens of thousands of people were recruited locally, but the manpower was still insufficient, so Zheng Zhilong asked Gao Yiming to get the people who were distributed in China to the West Red Sea.

Gao Yiming didn't think much about it, except for King Fu and King Tang, the others were relocated all the way to the West Red Sea, most of these people were deceived by liars, so they didn't want the salary given by Zheng Zhilong, and only asked the emperor to let them return to the Ming Dynasty on the day of the canal's success.

Gao Yiming immediately agreed, he believes that after many years of building the Grand Canal, these people will no longer think about what they have and don't, the reason why people think blindly is that they are idle, idle and have nothing to do, so they think about how to take the crooked road to make quick money, or they are dissatisfied with the present, and they want to be comforted through the spiritual level, or they pray to go to heaven after death or drag a good family in the next life.

This gives scammers an opportunity, and in retrospect, these people can't even understand the moment, and it's hard to plan for the long term.

In order to speed up the excavation of the canal, Gao Yiming will be the latest domestic products bulldozers, forklifts and excavators have been shipped over, with the blessing of these artifacts, from the middle to both sides of the construction of the canal excavation site, in full swing, lively.

Two years later, the canal began to take shape, but by this time Zheng Zhilong had returned to the Ming Dynasty, and all the navies left here were organized into the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the general of the fleet was the young Yan Yingyuan, who was responsible for the unified command of the navy near the Western Red Sea, and on land there was He Tengjiao, the governor of the West of the Ming Dynasty.

In this year, the three ironclad warships of the Ming Navy sailed to the Mediterranean Sea, and sailed towards Hei Iriddo according to the logo of Kunyu Quantu.

At this time, there are more than 100 countries on both sides of the Mediterranean, these countries are not large, and there is no naval strength, and the previous overlord here The Netherlands suffered a big loss after several naval battles with the Ming army, and was also half-crippled by his old rivals Spain and England, so there are only English and Spain, France in the Mediterranean, these three countries are still very bad to deal with, but they have all heard the prestige of the Ming Navy, so they have a wait-and-see attitude towards the Ming Navy entering the Mediterranean.

But it wasn't their willingness, a sea dragon suddenly ran in from the wolves, who could be willing not to fight, but the prestige of the Ming Navy was too great, and they didn't see that they had the intention of interfering in their own affairs, so this made the hostile three parties dare not act rashly.

"General, isn't this the Mediterranean we're looking for?"

"You ask me who I ask, but the sea here is calm, judging from the route, this should be the place we are looking for, look at the form here, in the future, this strait called Balde Gap will have to be controlled by me, for thinking that once this strait passes, there is such a big sea in it, this world is really magical."

"General, look at the sea ships we have encountered these days, there are three relatively large forces here, and they are not unified in shape, so I don't know what the combat power is."

"What? Itchy hands again? In the future, there will be your battle, now we still find the black into the more, get there through quickly, then the brigade can freely enter and exit the Mediterranean, I have not been here before, I don't understand why the emperor wants to dig this second Grand Canal in the country, and now I have found out that the emperor's wisdom, with this canal, in and out of the Mediterranean Sea will save a lot of voyages, and the past merchant ships will definitely be willing to go here, when the time comes, we will control one end here to collect taxes, that is really a million profits. ”

"The general is clever, less sycophant, this is the emperor's wisdom."

"I heard that the emperor is planning to move the capital to Chang'an now, but I don't know if it's true."

"Looking at it now, the emperor didn't build Luoyang in a big way, it should be this plan, and now the country has repeatedly expanded westward, it is appropriate to move the capital to Xi'an, if it expands again, I am afraid that it will have to move to the Western Regions."

"I can't!"

"You still know you can't, so what are you doing so much, show me staring at the sea, don't overrun, I've been running on the sea for almost two months, and the supplies are almost exhausted, and if we can't find more black, we can only drift on the sea."

"Yes! Please rest assured. ”

"Report! - General, there is a ship with a striped flag behind our fleet, which has been tailing, and I would like to tell me if you want to sink it. ”

"Who is on the ship, can you see clearly?"

"It's a group of yellow-haired people with boat-shaped hats upside down on their heads."

"Let the Zhenwei lean in and make a detour, and if the other party strikes at us, sink him, and tell the Zhenwei that the range should be kept outside the range of our artillery, so as not to suffer."

"Yes!"
