Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the blink of an eye, the cold winter is over, and spring comes and everything revives.

    Zhao Hongyu¡¯s empire development has entered a period of rapid development after his civil affairs level was improved.

    The population under his command has reached 130,000.  Of course, the genetic population in Manhattan is only over 10,000.  Most are located in seven settlements.

    Song Hu and the five newly cultivated Chinese gene people each rushed to the planned location and began to take root and develop.

    With their presence, Zhao Hongyu can now be said to be completely relaxed.

    And because Zhang Tie and Wang Shan exist in Manhattan, Manhattan has also undergone great changes.

    Simple mills rose from the ground, windmills, waterwheels, and some water conservancy and grinding facilities were all built in the spring.

    Wang Shan and the others consider construction, which is completely different from Zhao Hongyu. They use their authority to fully upgrade infrastructure facilities.  This allows Manhattan to manufacture some small commodities on its own instead of relying on purchasing them from the space-time trader.

    Zhao Hongyu completely let go of their arrangements. He also wanted to see what Wang Shan and his team's construction plan could bring to him.

    So far, they are doing better than themselves.

    So since they are doing better than themselves, why should I stop them?

    Spring is here, and Manhattan is getting busy.

    The first thing to do in spring is urban construction.

    A large number of laborers have poured into Manhattan. As long as you can endure hardships and have the strength, you can find something to do here in Manhattan, and you can get very generous rewards.

    Therefore, British people from Virginia and Pennsylvania flocked to Manhattan in large numbers looking for things to do.

    In addition to urban construction, the people of Huaxia Gene began to take the black slaves they bought in winter to enclose land in the plains outside the Manhattan city planning area, and purchase wood, cement and bricks to build their own manors and farms.

    Of course, farm and estate umbrella companies have also begun to work on it.

    The people of Huaxia Gene basically bought a large number of black slaves during the winter, and after feeding them all winter, they finally put them to use.

    For a time, Manhattan and its surrounding areas were filled with lively construction scenes.

    Everywhere you walk in Manhattan, you can see a bustling scene, and there is no place that is not under construction.

    People living in Manhattan can feel the passion and rapid changes here.

    Even Manhattan Island, which is separated by a strait, has begun land reclamation in the beginning of spring, and has begun to cultivate some crops prepared by Zhao Hongyu and others.

    At the same time, construction on Manhattan Island also began in the spring.

    In addition to building houses, both Manhattan City and Manhattan Island have begun building roads.

    These constructions made Zhao Hongyu and others spend money like water.

    Fortunately, business with Europe is still going on, otherwise Zhao Hongyu and the others really don¡¯t know how to persist.

    And thanks to many raw materials, they can be sourced locally around Manhattan, such as logs.

    ??This thing is very expensive to buy from the Time and Space Trader.

    Fortunately, there is no shortage of wood in the American continent in this era, so this saved Zhao Hongyu and the others a lot of money.

    The pier at the Port of Manhattan has also begun to expand. In Zhang Tie's plan, the pier must be able to dock at least fifty sea-going ships at the same time.

    "However, this kind of port will not be completed until the end of the year. Anyway, this kind of port does not have to be the same as in the 21st century.

    Palma and his Foreign Legion have returned to Manhattan. They were arranged by Zhang Tie to go to Manhattan Island to take care of the wounded sent by the pirates.

    When there is an opportunity, people like Palma will go to Europe, take over Sala's estate in Madrid and start working on a concession.

    And Parma, by virtue of his merit, already has a low-level honorary title such as Lord, not even a baron, but no matter what, this is a good start, isn't it.

    This makes Parma full of confidence in the future, after all, he has seen the light.

    You must know that people like him have no chance to obtain a knighthood in Europe.

    And Parma got a good start due to their credit, which also made other European guys very jealous.

    These guys are holding back their energy now, hoping that there will be another war, and then they will get the credit.

    ? ?The thinking of African Americans is different from that of Chinese people, which makes Zhao Hongyu and others a little funny and a little happy.  What's funny is that these guys risk their lives for this, but what's happy is that these people can sacrifice their lives for them.

    The war between the Iroquois and the Quebecers was still raging, but the losses on both sides were huge.

    Twenty thousand Gurkhas, after losing more than 6,000 people, left Quebec and returned to Lake Ontario.

    These Gurkhas began a low-key development under the leadership of Song Hu.

    Song Hu went to Lake Ontario and did not immediately cultivate genetic humans.  Instead, use one billion yuan in cash to reclaim land to build cities, and invest in the virtual small workshop to develop weapons.

    The township chiefs can also invest in the small workshops of Zhao Hongyu and Chen Zhenbang.

    Because they are Zhao Hongyu¡¯s subordinates and have been granted authority, their investment can also be regarded as the same as Zhao Hongyu¡¯s own investment.

    With these investments, although there is no shadow of too modern products, some indigenous mining and steelmaking technologies have been developed.

    With the advent of indigenous mining, gold mining in the Manhattan Forest has begun to increase production.

    ¡° Moreover, a high-quality iron ore and a high-quality open-pit coal mine were discovered on Lake Ontario, which gave Zhao Hongyu two more ways to make money.

    All developments are in the best direction.

    And when spring arrived, Zhao Hongyu received good news.

    That is, the shipyard finally produced a battleship with four decks, five masts, 108 24-pound guns, and a speed of 15 knots. Moreover, these guys secretly added additional equipment to the bottom of the battleship.  Four engines and propellers

    The battleship, which originally had a speed of fifteen knots, suddenly tripled its speed after adding engines and propellers.

    It can be said that the flight from Manhattan to Europe that originally took fifty days can now be reached in sixteen days.

    ¡° However, this also has a disadvantage, that is, Zhao Hongyu needs to purchase a large amount of finished diesel and consumes a lot of it.

    Basically, if this battleship turns on its propellers, it will consume 30 million yuan in diesel fuel one way from Manhattan to Europe

    But even so, Zhao Hongyu was still very happy to receive this battleship.

    If nothing else, this thing is definitely the maritime giant of this era.

    Unfortunately, when Zhao Hongyu asked how long it would take to build this ship, he immediately became silent.

    This kind of battleship manufacturing process is very cumbersome and takes a long time.

    Basically, only one ship can be built in a year.

    The reason why this battleship was built in one winter is a very lucky coincidence.

    In the end, Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to give Zhang Tie an order to continue adding shipyards.

    For this reason, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s little funds are basically used on development every month.

    But no matter what, the appearance of the battleship finally convinced Zhao Hongyu.

    Because this gave him hope of conquering the ocean.

    Although there is only one boat now, it still makes him satisfied.

    After some calculations, based on the construction speed of one ship a year, it will take at least thirty years for me to have the power to dominate the ocean.

    Of course, the premise is that there must be a hundred shipyards here in Manhattan.

    It¡¯s grandma¡¯s, thirty years!

    It¡¯s scary to think about it.

    There are only a few thirty years in a person's life.

    "But Zhao Hongyu has obviously forgotten that the time it took for these European countries to rise in the Age of Navigation was not decades or hundreds of years.

    It is very unrealistic to want to dominate the ocean in a short time.

    However, after all, Zhao Hongyu has a plug-in, so it is understandable that he has such thoughts.

    Quebec!  Pennsylvania!  Virginia!

    After the French and British were dealt with, Zhao Hongyu decided to build at least 500 shipyards along the coast.

    "In this way, it will not take thirty years, but within ten years he will be able to have a large number of battleships to dominate the oceans.

    Let¡¯s put aside Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plans in Manhattan, except for Manhattan and Lake Ontario.  The five Chinese genetic people newly cultivated by Zhao Hongyu also arrived at their destinations.

    These people began to live in central America, which was later known as Pittsburgh and Illinois northeast of the Ohio River.Strongholds were established at Sandusky on Lake Huron, at Detroit on Lake Huron, at Fort Vincennes southwest of the Ohio River, and as far away as St. Louis at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.

    From this, it can be said that the entire central America will be under the control of Zhao Hongyu in a short time.

    Of course, there is a premise here, that is, these five guys cannot be killed by the Indians.  Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu's plan will have minor twists and turns.

    But for now, the plan is going very smoothly. After all, the construction of the five strongholds has begun, and these people have contributed more than one billion yuan every month.

    It can be seen that these guys are pretty good.

    The methods used by these five guys are basically the same as the ones Zhao Hongyu used when he first came into contact with the Mohicans. They used trade to open the hearts of the local Indians, and then slowly gained their friendship.

    Sitting in his own castle garden in Manhattan, Zhao Hongyu had a large map in front of him.

    His eyes were fixed on Quebec, and then slowly moved down to Pennsylvania and Virginia.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? As long as these few nails are solved, the entire America will be mine.  Although there are still some Indians and the west still needs to be conquered, give me some time and this won't be a problem.

    Zhao Hongyu whispered to Wang Shan beside him.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
