    Run quickly, boys, there is land ahead.  There is fresh water and fresh food there, so work harder!

    The captain of this Galen ship, Leslie with a fierce look, was shouting at the busy sailors around him.

    "It seems that because they saw the appearance of land, the sailors who were originally low-spirited now seemed to be full of energy, as if they couldn't use up all their strength.

    Some people ran out one after another from the cabin, both men and women, all dressed in European clothes.

    These men and women crowded on the deck, excitedly looking at the land in the distance and shouting.

    Looking at these excited and happy men and women, Captain Leslie also had a smile on his face.

    It has been sailing on the sea for 46 days, and people have been tortured to death.

    This is not the 21st century. With luxury cruises and all kinds of entertainment and enjoyment, you won¡¯t feel bored or lonely.

    On the voyage of 1620, you have to fight against loneliness and disease, and you must always be prepared to face the unpredictable weather and the dangers hidden in the sea.

    During Leslie¡¯s long voyage, twenty or thirty people among the passengers she carried died of scurvy.

    It can be seen that the ocean voyage in 1620 was not a good thing.

    The Galen ship sailed forward at full speed at a speed of about 8 knots.

    Captain Leslie picked up the monocular and observed the situation ahead.  He found that where the land appeared in front of him, it seemed to be a strait with land extending out on both sides.

    As time passed, the Galen ship slowly approached there.

    "Through this strait, there is a larger piece of land behind these two extended lands!"

    Leslie gave the order.

    After receiving the order, the sailors began to pull the rope to turn the sail and slowly turn the hull.

    Captain Leslie didn¡¯t know at this time that the strait he was passing through was the entrance to the sea at the southeastern end of Manhattan Island.

    ¡°If he hadn¡¯t thought about boarding the largest piece of land after the strait, maybe they wouldn¡¯t have encountered what happened next.

    It¡¯s a pity that there are so many ¡°I knew it earlier¡± in this world.

    The hull of the Galen ship turned around and sailed at full speed in the direction ordered by Leslie.

    ¡°And their target is Manhattan Island, which has become Zhao Hongyu¡¯s private land.

    "Everyone, if there are no deviations, I think this is the New World. Please remember the treaty we signed on the ship and abide by it. I can guarantee you here that as long as everyone abides by the 'Mayflower' Treaty,  Then we will be able to live a good life in the New World.¡±

    Unlike Captain Leslie and the busy sailors, the man who recorded the diary on the bow earlier was talking to the men and women who appeared in the cabin.

    Following his words, the eyes of those men and women shone with longing for a happy life in the future.

    "Okay, everyone, please pack up and take inventory of the livestock and various materials we have now. In the future, we will build a new home here."

    With this man¡¯s assignment, the men and women dispersed in a hurry.

    "Captain Leslie, have you written down this route?"  After the men and women began to count the supplies, the man turned around and walked to the bow of the ship, stood beside Captain Leslie, and asked.

    Hearing this, Captain Leslie put down the telescope in his hand.  He looked back at the man standing behind him and said: "Father Matthew, don't worry, I have recorded this route. But we need to make corrections before we can return. The next time we come, it may not be until next year."  After all, we have to go to the Caribbean to buy some goods."

    "Of course, I hope you will still be alive when I come next year. And I have enough money on hand to exchange things alive. I am not a good person. I hope you can understand this."

    It turns out that this middle-aged man, who looked like an ordinary person wearing a greasy and dirty white shirt and brown pants, was actually a priest.

    "I just don't know why he didn't wear the priest's black robe?"

    "God will bless us to overcome all difficulties. There is not such a high tax burden here. As long as those Lambs of God work hard, I think they can create a happy and prosperous life. And I will also spread the word to the indigenous people.  For the glory of the Lord, build a magnificent church here." Father Matthew responded to Captain Leslie's words with a calm face.

    For horsesCaptain Leslie just smiled at the priest's reaction.

    "I hope so. What I want to tell you is that the indigenous people here are not easy to deal with. The Spanish in the Caribbean have not yet completely conquered the indigenous people there."

    "The servants of the Lord can also use swords. We are not lambs to be slaughtered." Father Matthew bowed slightly and replied.

    The two of them talked softly while the Galen ship slowly approached Manhattan Island.

    But because Zhao Hongyu, this little butterfly, keeps flapping its wings, no one knows what the deviated history will turn into in the end.

    And the Mayflower, which left a famous name in history, and the immigrants on board, didn¡¯t know that the history that originally belonged to them had been completely changed.

    ??Originally in history, they did not land on Manhattan Island, and they also received help from the Indians before they established a foothold in America.

    But this time, they are going to land on Manhattan Island, and will the owners of Manhattan Island help these European immigrants like the Indians in history?

    Only God can know this question.

    A history that has changed beyond recognition

    Song Hu arranged for three genetic men to be stationed on a natural rock cliff on the southern coastline of Manhattan Island.

    "Look, there's a boat there!"

    At this time, the Mayflower was already three or four nautical miles away from Manhattan Island, which was very close.

    Since there was no port on Manhattan Island at this time, and the Mayflower did not know where the deep water area was in this area, they could only slow down their speed and slowly explore.

    This gives precious time to the genetic people who are stationed again.

    A gene man quickly ran down the rocky cliff, thinking of reporting this discovery to Song Hu as soon as possible.

    The remaining two gene sentinels stayed and continued to stare at the unexpected ship.

    "This kind of ship is considered the most advanced in this era, but we still look down upon this kind of ship. In the future, when the leader develops a steel battleship, all these wooden garbage will not be enough."

    The two sentries lying on the cliff staring at the Mayflower in the distance below started chatting.

    "British galenic ships have a displacement of 300-700 tons, double decks, and poops. They are both merchant ships and warships. Today's British ships are all of this type, and each of them is a popular sea-going ship in Britain at this time."

    Another sentry responded.

    "Hey, you have better historical knowledge than me. You even know this."

    His companions looked at him enviously and said.

    Ignoring the chatter of the two genetic sentinels, the Mayflower has stopped and lowered the anchor to secure the hull.

    At this time, the Mayflower was anchored one nautical mile away from the coastline.

    "Lay down the boat, men get your weapons, we're about to land!"

    Captain Leslie waved to the sailors and the men with various weapons and shouted, then he turned over and boarded a small boat.

    In this era, every ocean-going ship will be prepared with two or three small boats for long-distance landings.

    After all, sometimes they can¡¯t find deep water, and they worry about ships loading up on rocks.  Therefore, we can only use small boats to board the discovered land and start fighting or rest.

    The hull of this small boat is not big, and it is similar to the kind of pleasure boat rented in the park in modern society.

    Captain Leslie took the lead and took the sailors in a small boat to row towards the coastline.

    Since they were not very far from the coastline, Captain Lasley and the others landed on land about twenty minutes later.

    After landing on land, the sailors quickly approached Captain Leslie and drew their weapons one after another.  Three musketeers and Leslie were surrounded in the middle, forming a small phalanx.

    There were a total of twenty-one people who landed with Captain Leslie, but the number was still too small.

    Therefore, the three boats must turn back again and continue to transport the people on board, of course all men.

    "The women on the boat will only take them all off when they are sure that there is no danger on the shore.

    This process took more than three hours, and all the men on the boat were transported to the southern coast of Manhattan Island.

    "These guys are quite careful. They didn't rush into the hinterland to investigate, otherwise they would see ourDon't scare them to death.  "

    The two sentries lying on the cliff looked at Leslie and the others on the beach below with a smile, and joked to each other.

    At this time, Leslie and others did not know that their whereabouts had already been observed.

    "Get ready! Move forward!"

    Two hundred and thirty-three men formed a small armed team. They were armed with cross swords, cross axes, or maces, and some were holding bows and arrows.

    There are still fifteen musketeers in the entire team.

    A Galen ship has a crew of 60 and can carry 350 passengers.

    It can be said that this small armed force of 233 people is already the limit of the number of people they can bring out to fight.

    The endless grasslands and plains of Manhattan Island came into view after Leslie and others crossed the beach.

    Everyone looked around dumbfounded, shocked by the fertility of this land.

    Some people even knelt on the ground and started kissing the ground.

    Father Matthew, holding a nail-head awl in his hand, has already begun to worship the ¡®Lord¡¯ he worships.

    ¡°Praise you God for giving this fertile land to your believers!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so pitiful that these guys don¡¯t know yet that this land already has an owner.  Whether it can be given to them is not the 'Lord' that Father Matthew talks about.
