Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The French established a colony in the area known as Quebec in what would become eastern Canada, above the New York area.
That place is very close to the Great Lakes region and is connected to the St. Lawrence River Basin, which can directly lead to the northern seas.
Quebec can be said to be a strategic location.
Not far from southern Quebec is the Montreal area, and a little further southwest is Lake Ontario, the easternmost of the Great Lakes.
What Zhao Hongyu has to do is to establish a city belonging to the Song Empire on the east side of Lake Ontario first, and also establish a city or immigration point between Lake Ontario and Lake Huron on the west side.
Only in this way can the French's path to the west be completely cut off.
At that time, Zhao Hongyu can completely announce to the outside world that the Great Lakes region of Quebec, starting from Lake Ontario and going west, is the territory of the Song Empire.
If the French want to advance or explore westward, they must have the consent of the people in the Song Empire.
Through Chen Zhenbang, Zhao Hongyu obtained an enlarged version of the 21st century world map of the Americas. He stared at the map intently and thought for a long time.
It is strange to say that in addition to many commodities in the space-time trader that require investment to develop, some other materials also require relevant civil affairs levels before they can be purchased.
¡°For example, if Zhao Hongyu were not the village chief, it would be impossible for him to buy this world map.
This makes Zhao Hongyu a little strange, and he even thinks that the time and space trader may be limiting himself in order to prevent himself from destroying the balance too quickly.
However, Zhao Hongyu did not pay attention to this issue for a long time. His main focus now is on how to enter the Great Lakes region.
It would be nice if I could purchase some historical information.
Zhao Hongyu withdrew his gaze and sighed with some regret.
Yes, although the world map can be purchased, the Time and Space Trader restricts the purchase and transmission of some historical books, which makes Zhao Hongyu very disappointed.
¡°The knowledge currently taught in schools in the Manhattan area is still a first-grade elementary school curriculum.
For the second-year course, the space-time trader does not support purchase and transmission at all.
Therefore, the genetic teachers had no choice but to divide the first-grade textbooks into six levels and treat them as courses taught in the sixth grade of elementary school.
But even the knowledge in the first grade of elementary school is very advanced in this era.
At the very least, after many children learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, they are fully qualified to serve as a qualified accountant.
¡°And the writing taught in primary schools can also help the children of the Song Empire in Manhattan get rid of their illiterate status.
Of course, illiteracy is concentrated among the Indian children, that is, among the bannermen designated as Zhengbai Banner by Zhao Hongyu. As for ordinary people with the red flag gene, they are basically junior high school or high school graduates, so there is no problem of illiteracy at all.
"As for Zheng Hongqi, there is only one person in the world, Zhao Hongyu. There is no way anyone can make him a natural person.
And Emma has become Zhao Hongyu¡¯s ¡®Crown Princess¡¯ and the queen of the Indians. Her current status is just the captain of the Zhengbai Banner. She can only become the flag master after her father Black Bear dies.
At this moment, Zhao Hongyu has already embarked on the road to the Great Lakes region with Wang Shan, the nine first gene people who followed him, and a group of 500 heavily armed guards.
As his wife, Emma also followed Zhao Hongyu on this journey, and she also led a hundred elite Mohican warriors along with her.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu and his party reached a number of more than 600 people.
Fortunately, the winter snow in America is very heavy, resulting in a thick layer of snow.
The sleds produced in Manhattan and the elk captured and trained came in handy at this time.
The more than 300 sleds did not cause any hardship to their trip, but made their journey very easy.
Zhao Hongyu and the others set up camp at the foot of a mountain range three days away from Manhattan.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu also took out the map and began to discuss with Wang Shan.
"Your Highness, do you mean to build a city at a promising location on the east side of Lake Ontario?" Wang Shan asked after listening to Zhao Hongyu describe his plan.
Zhao Hongyu nodded, raised his hand on the flat map and pointed to the east side of Lake Ontario marked on the map, and said: "Yes, we must build a city here to block the road of the French going south. It's a West Point fortress.That's enough. "
Wang Shan nodded. He could see from the map that Zhao Hongyu's intention was correct.
If a city is built on the east side of Lake Ontario, not only Lake Ontario will fall under their control, but also Lake Erie, which is connected to Lake Ontario.
This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, this would also block the French's intention to go south in the future, because if they wanted to go south, they would have to cross Lake Ontario. This is equivalent to saying that Zhao Hongyu and the others have turned all the American land south of the Great Lakes into their own territory.
"I know it is unrealistic to build a city right away, but we can establish an immigration point first. The number of people should not be too large, only 10,000 people are enough. These 10,000 people can completely control the situation there and prevent the French from acting rashly. "
Zhao Hongyu has very strong confidence in this plan.
" Ten thousand people, Wang Shan feels that it is not too difficult.
But considering that the city of Manhattan currently only has more than 8,000 genetic people, 10,000 people is a bit too much.
Therefore, when Wang Shan raised this question, Zhao Hongyu replied: "Ten thousand people are not many. You must know that the Great Lakes region is rich in resources and has strategic development. This is a place we cannot give up under any circumstances. The coal and iron ore here Stone, as well as gold and silver minerals, can bring us huge benefits."
As a modern man, Zhao Hongyu knows very well about the resources in the Great Lakes region, and he has long been coveted.
Now that he has arrived in the era of 1620 and has established a foothold in Manhattan, God will not forgive himself if he does not capture the Great Lakes.
¡°We not only need to establish immigration points here in Lake Ontario, but also need to establish at least ten immigration points between Lake Ontario and Lake Huron on the west side, as well as in the middle part of northern Lake Huron, and around Lake Superior, completely covering the northern part of the Great Lakes. Take control.¡±
Zhao Hongyu stretched out his hand and grabbed the map, then clenched his fist and gave it a strong hammer, and said loudly to Wang Shan.
"In this way, the entire Great Lakes region and large tracts of land in the south will all become the territory of our Song Empire. Now these places are unclaimed lands, and some Indians living there are not a threat. We can easily Easily solved."
Zhao Hongyu's heart was full of fire, and his ambition began to increase little by little as his power grew.
Wang Shan was very happy, and he was satisfied with the ambition of His Highness.
What he was most worried about was that His Highness would be satisfied with his current achievements and start living in a life of drunkenness and debauchery, which would eventually wear away his ambitions.
Now it seems that these worries of mine are completely unnecessary.
"Your Highness, if we occupy the Great Lakes region, we can push all the way west to the Mississippi River Basin, and even cross the Mississippi River to completely occupy the western part of the Americas, and build cities on the western coast. And after the cities are established on the western coast, We can build shipyards and occupy the Bering Strait, so that Russia¡¯s Far East will also be ours in the future.¡±
Wang Shan also followed Zhao Hongyu¡¯s grand plan and started to get involved.
An empire spanning two continents?
Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and stroked his chin.
I have been in this era for a year, and my age has also become 16 years old (the time traveled has made me younger, not my actual age). If the plan goes well, I will basically be able to realize this dream by the time I am in my early 20s.
He felt a little excited just thinking about it.
Depend on!
¡°Could it be that I still have the potential to become the greatest emperor in history?
Zhao Hongyu retracted his random thoughts and snickered in his heart.
"Okay, let's stop having sex between the two of us. Now we have to see how to gain a foothold in the Great Lakes region. You must know that the Great Lakes region is not like Manhattan."
Although it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to know everything about history, he still knows something about the existence of an Iroquois confederacy in the Great Lakes region.
The "Iroquois", a super federation of five huge Indian tribal alliances, has a population of more than 200,000 and is located in the southern area of ??Lake Ontario.
Its activity range is around Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, making a living by hunting and fishing.
If Zhao Hongyu wants to control the Great Lakes, in addition to the French in Quebec and Montreal, these indigenous Iroquois Indian Confederation tribes also need to be dealt with by Zhao Hongyu.
At this time, Zhao Hongyu was not in a hurry to go to Europe, orThe latter is looking for a way back to the East.
He thought very clearly that those things were not important to him. After all, what could he do in Europe? The city there is dirtier than a toilet in the 21st century, and he won't suffer.
And what can we do if we return to the East?
Is it possible to go back and kneel down to the officials of Ming Dynasty and become their servant?
Zhao Hongyu is not that cheap yet, so he is not in a hurry to go back.
Even if he has to go back, he will go back strong and be a savior.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to rise on the American continent and control the entire American continent in his own hands.
He wants to eradicate all the colonial settlements of European countries on the American continent. He only needs one voice and one empire in this place.
Hearing this, Wang Shan put away his playful smile, walked over and looked down at the map seriously.
"Your Highness, I heard from Black Bear that there is a very powerful tribe here. If we want to occupy the Great Lakes, then we must deal with this tribe well, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Although Wang Shan has received knowledge about the virtual 21st century, history is still relatively weak for him.
Therefore, he does not know much historical knowledge, so he will not know the existence of the Iroquois.
However, this did not prevent him from getting some useful information from the black bear before leaving.
¡°When Black Bear heard that Zhao Hongyu was going to the northwest, he immediately gave detailed information. After all, Zhao Hongyu was his son-in-law and the guarantee for the happy life of the Mohicans.
He didn¡¯t want Zhao Hongyu to be in any danger.
It is precisely because of this that Emma has a hundred elite Mohican warriors by her side. Besides, Emma is now the queen of the Mohicans and the Indians of Manhattan, so it's not surprising that she has a escort by her side.
As the mascot for Zhao Hongyu to win over the Manhattan Indians, Emma plays this role very well.
Here in Manhattan, we have an accepting attitude towards foreign tribes that want to join.
But if they want to join the Song Empire in Manhattan, they must give up their former identities. These Indians must first become members of the Mohican tribe, and then become the Zhengbai Banners of the empire.
At the same time, they all have to accept the brainwashing of the 'slave' model, and only in this way can they become bannermen of the Song Empire.
Emma was playing games with several little Indian girls on the side. In front of them were several small wooden signs with a human-shaped pattern on them.
At the same time, in the center of the small square table in front of the girls, there was a pile of wooden signs piled in the shape of a pyramid.
This is a wooden sign that Zhang Tie made when he was bored. This game is very popular among children among Indians.
Because in addition to playing games to relieve boredom, it can also make them familiar with the historical knowledge they have learned.
You know, the genetic teachers in Manhattan have been instilling in Indians the knowledge that Indians are descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
And the several Indian girls who accompany Emma to play games are all Emma's maids and personal guards.
These girls have been taught by Song Hu for half a year and are quite proficient in fighting.
Seeing Emma having fun, Zhao Hongyu felt relieved. He was worried that Emma would feel bored when he followed him out.
"Iroquois, the powerful tribe you mentioned in the Lake Ontario area is called Iroquois. It is an Indian alliance led by the five major tribes and joined by other small tribes. It is a super alliance with a population of more than 200,000. "
Zhao Hongyu explained to Wang Shan after hearing what he said.
Iroquois?
Wang Shan has never heard of this name, and his history is not very good.
So, when Zhao Hongyu said the name, Wang Shan raised his head and looked at it with very puzzled eyes.
Wang Shan saw that Wang Shan didn¡¯t quite understand, so he explained it to him seriously.
With Zhao Hongyu¡¯s explanation, Wang Shan slowly understood the origin of the Iroquois and their power.
Slowly, Wang Shan said: "So, this Iroquois is really an obstacle for us to occupy the Great Lakes region. Their large population shows that their military power is also very strong, so they will not be afraid of any enemies. .So seizing the Great Lakes by force would be very troublesome, along with the French.¡±
Wang Shan frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is it okay to bribe them?"
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "I don't know. After all, I haven't had any contact with them, so I can't make a judgment yet."
While the two were talking, the genetic people had already prepared dinner.
"Your Highness, dinner is ready, please enjoy."
Emma, ??who was playing a game, immediately cheered when she heard this.
Emma dropped the wooden sign in her hand on the table, then ran to Zhao Hongyu and threw herself into his arms.
"It's time to eat. I'm already hungry." She raised her head and looked at Zhao Hongyu pitifully.
Looking at Emma¡¯s big eyes that flickered, Zhao Hongyu smiled.
"Okay, let's eat."
Emma likes to be clingy recently, and she knows how to cuddle with him.
Could it be that her mother-in-law taught her this again?
Zhao Hongyu had some strange thoughts in his heart when he took Emma's little hand and led her towards another tent. (To be continued.
