At this time, Zhao Hongyu and his party, who had left Marseille on the Sea King, were on their way to Alexandria, Egypt.
In the stern loft of the Sea King, a group of widows from the Samuel family were sitting on the sofa, enjoying the pleasant summer afternoon sunshine.
The younger girls were playing cards with Emma.
Sarah accompanied the old lady and chatted quietly, while Zhao Hongyu was talking to Wang Shan on the deck about the next plan.
"The French have reached a secret agreement with us and signed the cooperation terms in black and white. But I think Mary needs to recruit troops and train them. This will take some time."
Leaning sideways on the railing, Zhao Hongyu let the sea breeze blow on his face and said to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan nodded when he heard this and responded: "Yes, the recruitment cannot be completed immediately. Moreover, the recruited soldiers have to undergo training, so it will take about a year anyway. In other words, we still have one year. You can take some time to relax. Once chaos breaks out in Spain, we can return to America and start attacking the Spanish colonies."
After listening to Wang Shan¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu took a deep breath.
¡°It¡¯s been four months since we left America, and we don¡¯t know what the situation is like in Manhattan.¡±
Yes, since communications in this era are not very developed, Zhao Hongyu cannot know the real-time news in America.
However, he still got a little bit of information through the time and space trader.
Today, through the efforts of the 'township chiefs', the number of people controlled by Zhang Hongyu (generally referred to as genetic people) has reached 180,000, of which 30% are genetic people of the Chinese strain and 70% are other people. Germline genetic person.
Although the number of genetic humans of the Chinese strain is still very small, it has increased significantly compared to a few months ago.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu also knew a little bit about what Song Hu was doing in the virtual world.
Zhao Hongyu also knows about the iron fishing boats and the fake shoulder-mounted rocket launchers.
But because of restrictions. Zhao Hongyu still had no way of knowing whether the things created by Song Hu would work or not.
Of course, he didn¡¯t know anything about the naval battle that took place in Manhattan in the near future.
"Your Highness, we can play here in Alexandria for a while, and then we can return to America. Today's major European cities are just the same, and the urban construction is not as good as Manhattan."
Zhao Hongyu nodded and said: "Yes, dirty city streets, stinky environment. Only Europeans can live in European cities in this era. I can't stand it."
Thinking of the urban environment in Lisbon and Marseille, Zhao Hongyu really couldn¡¯t complain.
Comparing European cities to Manhattan, they look like toilets.
No wonder those Europeans generally don¡¯t want to come back after going to America.
I don¡¯t know if there are some reasons for this.
On the Mediterranean, European, African and Arab ships can often be seen. Compared with the Americas, shipping in the Mediterranean is still very developed.
During the several-day voyage, Zhao Hongyu could often see ships that were common in this era, passing near the Sea King.
??Even, he was lucky enough to see a real pirate robbery scene.
It may be because the hull of the Sea King is too fierce. Those 108 cannons were so scary. The pirates who were already in sight of victory immediately retreated and fled when they saw the appearance of the Sea King.
And let that fly the Venetian flag. A Spanish double-decker ship carrying olive oil for sale escaped the disaster.
After setting off from Marseille, Zhao Hongyu successively arrived in the three cities of Genoa, Syracuse and Crete.
Because of the route, Venice and Greece. He did not go.
These three cities are basically no different from the Lisbon and Marseille that Zhao Hongyu came into contact with.
They are all typical European cities of the seventeenth century.
dirty. The stench is overwhelming
This also made Zhao Hongyu completely stop thinking about traveling in Europe.
After all, no one likes to swim in excrement water, it must have multiple tastes.
¡°Besides, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s purpose of coming to Europe this time has basically been achieved.
Therefore, after seeing Egypt in this era, he planned to return to America.
For Zhao HongyuHe said that America is where his roots lie, not in Europe.
Emma, ??a native American Indian girl, had an eye-opening experience accompanying Zhao Hongyu.
She learned a lot about the customs, customs and buildings of different styles in Europe.
Although she was very disappointed with the messiness of European cities, after all, she also experienced a style different from that of the American continent.
Therefore, the little girl is still very happy.
Sarah was in a good mood because her relatives were out of danger.
It can be said that she has nothing to worry about now. From now on, she only needs to live a good life with Zhao Hongyu in America.
And the widows of the Samuel family obviously had more smiles on their faces after leaving France.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s because they left the country that made them feel depressed and dangerous. Anyway, Zhao Hongyu couldn¡¯t see anything unhappy on their faces.
¡°These widows don¡¯t seem to object much to going to America to live.
¡°But think about it, it¡¯s not like they have no backers in America.
At least, it¡¯s not a black eye.
Sarah, the crown prince¡¯s concubine (concubine), can provide them with some help within her ability.
¡°Moreover, Sarah owns a large piece of private land in Quebec, and she can definitely set aside a piece of it for these women.
With land, you can grow crops, and those crops can be sold for money.
And you can also build villages and towns on the land, and even set up some small shops.
¡° In this way, these women don¡¯t have to worry about their lives at all.
And with Sarah¡¯s identity, they can also select some distinguished genetic people in the Song Empire to marry.
In short, their future is still very promising if they go to America.
Precisely because he saw hope, Zhao Hongyu saw the yearning and longing for a new life on their faces.
"Your Highness, the daughter of a widow from the Samuel family has been pestering me these days. What do you think I should do?"
During the chat, Wang Shan whispered to His Highness the one thing that bothered him.
"Oh, who is it? I guess he is interested in you. If the European Ocean Horse is suitable, you can still accept it. If we can really be together in the future, your child will at least be a mixed race."
Zhao Hongyu said with a smile on his face as he looked at Wang Shan who looked troubled.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu still hopes to see such a thing.
Finding a European girl is actually not a big deal. And if it really succeeds, a mixed race wouldn¡¯t be bad either.
At least, mixed-race people are beautiful, aren¡¯t they?
¡°And I heard that mixed-race children are very smart because of their good genes.
The bitterness on Wang Shan's face became stronger: "It's Anais. Don't you think she is too young? And I think behind this, her mother may have meant it. They may be interested in me." Identity, that¡¯s why this situation occurs.¡±
When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he almost laughed out loud.
He knows the little girl Wang Shan is talking about, Anais. She is a little girl who is only eleven years old.
She is soft and weak, and always blushes when talking to people. She has slender blond hair that is shawl, much like a Barbie doll.
"You are lucky. It doesn't matter whether her mother is behind this. In fact, this is also a normal thing. They want to find a backer, but Sarah alone is not enough. So they hope to find a supporter in the empire. Let¡¯s find some people with status to marry us.¡±
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s little thoughts about these women. In fact, I understand it very well.
"You are the person I trust the most, so it is normal for you to be favored by them. And after they find some people with status, they can also become Sara's help invisibly to deal with the problems that may arise in the future. The problem. You know, Emma is backed by Indians, mainly Mohicans, so Sarah is very weak in the empire."
"And when these Samuel family widows go to America, they must rely on Sarah. So they need to find some help for Sarah to make her more powerful."
Wang Shan smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, this is your family matter. If you have a headache, you have to take it. What does it have to do with me. And that little girl is so young, I am not a beast."
"What Zhao Hongyu said, does Wang Shan still understand?What is the meaning behind women?
"And I hope to find a Chinese woman as my wife, but I don't want my child to be a mixed race." Wang Shan coquettishly expressed his thoughts to Zhao Hongyu.
Yes, how could Wang Shan, as a radical member of the Angry Youth of Great China, tolerate his child being of mixed race?
And now that he follows Zhao Hongyu, he will definitely become a great noble and have his own territory.
By that time, the blood flowing in your heir must be pure Chinese blood.
After listening to Wang Shan¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu shook his head.
"Why are your thoughts so radical? I have already said that mixed-bloods are very smart. Finding a European woman can be regarded as improving genes, which will be of great benefit to the empire. After all, Chinese women in the empire are already very smart. "Young man, even if you do, you've basically got a partner. Is it possible that you love someone just because you want to tear her down?"
Wang Shan pursed his lips, feeling a little aggrieved.
"Your Highness, you can cultivate a female genetic person, I won't pick it."
After murmuring for a while, Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan with a bit of hatred and cursed: "You bitch! Don't you know about the problems of women in future generations? You have to be strict with your wife, don't you?"
Hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, the expression on Wang Shan's face changed. (To be continued.)
