- His father-in-law, Hei Xiong, hopes that Wang Shan can marry a mohawk wife?
Zhao Hongyu was stunned when he heard what Wang Shan said to him.
However, he soon understood some of the joint problems involved.
It can be seen that my old father-in-law is not very stupid after all.
The women of the Samuel family are preparing for a rainy day.
But so are my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
After thinking about these issues clearly, Zhao Hongyu laughed.
He said to Wang Shan: "Very good, what do you think about this matter? If you don't object to it, then accept it, but you need to explain it yourself to Anais. After all, there is a Mohawk A wife is also conducive to our national integration, isn't it?"
Zhao Hongyu is not very opposed to this.
Because from what he knew about Wang Shan, he knew very well that no matter what happened to the women of the Samuel family and the black bear, he would never betray him because of a woman.
??Besides, Emma and Sera will not have that kind of palace fight in the future.
Even if you have children, you will educate them well from an early age.
¡°Anyway, Zhao Hongyu just thinks that these people think too much.
Seeing that His Highness was not very opposed to this, Wang Shan felt relieved.
When Wang Shan heard Black Bear¡¯s proposal, his heart immediately started to churn.
As Zhao Hongyu¡¯s confidant, how could Wang Shan not understand what these people were thinking.
They are just consolidating the status of Sarah and Emma through marriage.
Fortunately, the little girl Anais really took a fancy to herself and was deeply devoted to her.
"Otherwise, Wang Shan wouldn't accept her.
After all, having such a wife by his side will be very detrimental to his future and his empire.
"Your Highness, I know the thoughts of the women of the Samuel family and your father-in-law Black Bear. It doesn't matter now, but if Your Highness has children in the future, do you think there will be any problems?"
Although Zhao Hongyu is confident about this, Wang Shan is very worried.
People, what they fear most is selfishness.
Emma and Sarah have no selfish motives, and neither does Zhao Hongyu, but the question is what about his children in the future?
No one can be sure about this stuff.
???????????????????????????????????? If there is fighting among each other in the future, it will be a big disaster.
Looking at Wang Shan¡¯s serious expression, Zhao Hongyu sighed.
"You are right to worry, but I know what I should do. This is not the best thing about a huge empire. If you have more wives, you will have more troubles. I plan to use modern methods to educate my children, so you appear. The situation that we are worried about probably won¡¯t happen.¡±
¡°Of course, I will also prevent this from happening, but I don¡¯t have children yet, so it¡¯s too early to consider this.¡±
Although Zhao Hongyu was confident, he became a little hesitant when Wang Shan said this.
Because no one can guarantee what will happen in the future, even if Zhao Hongyu has a cheat that defies heaven.
"Use modern education methods?"
Wang Shan pondered for a moment.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Everyone's thoughts are different. If you educate them and instill some ideas in them from an early age, they may not necessarily care about rights very much when they grow up. Unless someone has cared about their rights since they were young. Instill these ideas in them, and I will try to keep an eye on them."
¡°Of course Zhao Hongyu meant something when he said ¡®someone¡¯, and Wang Shan also understood this.
Yes, every child is born with a blank sheet of paper.
They know how to fight for power.
If it weren¡¯t for the people around them who have instilled some ideas from an early age, these children may not necessarily have much yearning for power.
In the major dynasties of the Chinese Empire, it is because of the interests involved in the royal children and the indoctrination of the people around them from childhood that there are so many killings between brothers and sisters.
This is all brought about by education and environment.
"But if Zhao Hongyu didn't have such an environment here, and the children didn't have much contact with people like that, it would be unlikely that such a thing would happen.
Neither Emma nor Sarah are women who have much desire for power.
??Especially Emma is?Queen of the Sicans, Sarah was also the titular lord of Quebec.
Even if they have children with themselves, they can settle their children well in the future.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu will try his best to teach them here.
Children, when they grow up, they may have their own ideals. As long as you can educate them well and prevent them from focusing on power.
The atmosphere and environment in America are, after all, different from those in the East.
The future development of America will definitely change with each passing day.
¡°After 20 or 30 years have passed, America may be at the level it was in the 1950s and 1960s.
By that time, children can fully pursue their ideals.
Be a scientist, general, technology R&D engineer or something.
You don¡¯t have to be an emperor.
Besides, the dividends from the umbrella company are enough for them to enjoy a prosperous life.
What¡¯s the good thing about being an emperor? You still have to worry about political affairs every day.
Of course, you can also make all the preparations in advance and create a separation of powers or Congress to prevent all this from happening.
¡°Zhao Hongyu is still young anyway, and he is only seventeen years old in this era.
He has plenty of time to do these preparations.
As Zhao Hongyu clarified his thoughts to Wang Shan, the worried look on Wang Shan's face slowly faded.
"Since your Highness has mature thoughts and plans, I am relieved."
Wang Shan said to him.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and looked at Wang Shan, the most loyal subordinate to him.
"I know your good intentions and what you are worried about. But there are many things that you and I cannot control. All we have to do is try to prevent them. When the day I close my eyes, if something like this still happens, You and I are also powerless, right?"
Wang Shan nodded, right? How can they take care of these things after they are all buried?
When the time comes, what should happen will still happen, and they have no control at all.
"Where there are people, there are interests, and where there are interests, there will be conflicts and intrigues. We have no way to control it. After all, people's hearts are different and they have different ideas. We'd better not worry about it."
Zhao Hongyu is quite open-minded about this issue.
"However, even if he can't think about it, what can he do?
Looking at Sarah and Emma not far away, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes showed tenderness.
"I can just talk to you about these things. I will consider this issue when I really have children in the future."
After listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words, Wang Shan nodded silently and stopped discussing this matter with Zhao Hongyu.
"However, Zhao Hongyu also made it clear that he had already had an idea in his mind, so it is unlikely that such a thing will happen in the future.
Therefore, Wang Shan felt relieved a lot.
"How much information do you have about the Caribbean?"
After the questions about his home were put aside, Zhao Hongyu asked about things in the Caribbean.
When Wang Shan saw Zhao Hongyu's question, he replied: "Everything is going well. Since defeating the Spaniards and the Dutch, the empire has not encountered trouble in its rule there. The local indigenous people have also surrendered. After all, we don't They were oppressed like the Spanish and the Dutch."
Zhao Hongyu nodded slowly while listening to Wang Shan's story.
"Although there are still many Spaniards and Dutch left in the colonies in the Caribbean, under the supervision of the imperial garrison and local indigenous people, they are still honest and no one jumps. Come out and cause trouble.¡±
"As the commander of the fleet, Chelsea now has thirteen fleets and more than 400 warships spread out, cruising in the Caribbean day and night, so no one will look for trouble without opening their eyes."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu interjected: "That's for sure. Even if the pirates want to find some bargains, they have to think about what happened last year. And the Spanish Empire has been destroyed, and the Spaniards in the Caribbean have no hope. , they can only be obedient citizens, otherwise they can still go there? Do they have to go back to the smelly Europe, unless they are all idiots."
¡°And the Dutch don¡¯t have to worry even more. Their warships are still fighting the British in the North Sea. At the same time, the war in the Netherlands is still going on.?If the confrontation continues, there will definitely be no reinforcements. "
For the European colonies in this era, the local situation in Europe had a great impact on the colonies.
Because the colonies in this era are very dependent on the local people.
Although they can still be self-sufficient in terms of funds, they cannot rely on the indigenous people in terms of armed forces.
The formation of indigenous regiments to protect the interests of the colonies was something the British would come up with in the future.
¡°After all, the British colonies at that time were so big that they simply couldn¡¯t manage them.
????????????????? And with its small island country, their population is also insufficient.
In this way, the British began to support the indigenous people close to them to manage colonial interests.
At the same time, indigenous legions in the colonies also appeared one after another.
In this way, in addition to alleviating the shortage of British armed forces, it also greatly reduced military expenditures.
At the same time, when necessary, these colonial legions can be used as cannon fodder, which is a very advantageous thing.
But in the seventeenth century, no country had such an idea.
Because they don¡¯t dare!
First of all, the European colonies of this era were all obtained through bloody killings and fraud.
The local natives surrendered to them because the Europeans had strong ships and powerful guns.
Europeans are also very aware of this.
If they dare to form an indigenous army, after they have formed it, they will have to guard against betrayal by the other party.
This is a very wasteful thing.
It is precisely because of this that Europeans did not consider the issue of indigenous legions at all in this era.
Therefore, European colonies will not be able to obtain military support when there is turmoil in their homeland.
Of course, there is no military support, but economically they can still obtain it by bullying the colonial people.
"It's good that these guys are honest. If they are not honest, I don't mind killing them all. Everything is about stability, right?"
Zhao Hongyu, who has been a leader for some time, is no longer the novice he was before.
In order to maintain the stability of the interests of the empire, he also knows that sometimes when it is time to be ruthless, he has to be ruthless.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Zhao Hongyu is very good at finding reasons and comforting excuses for himself.
"By the way, is there any news from Europe? How are the Dutch people reacting now?" Zhao Hongyu asked. You know, the Caribbean Imperial Fleet not only defeated the Spanish, but also occupied colonies belonging to the Dutch.
Although it was just a casual incident at the time, the empire could be considered an undeclared war.
And there was no conflict between the Dutch and the Empire at that time.
It is unreasonable for the empire to do this.
However, Zhao Hongyu also knew that it was the best time to take control of the Caribbean Sea.
At that time, some face-related matters could not be taken into account too much.
??The Spaniards will not talk about it. Now that the country is gone, it is not certain whether the restoration of the country will be successful.
But the Dutch were really unable to take into account the colonial interests of the Caribbean.
If he fails to seize such a good opportunity, wouldn¡¯t Zhao Hongyu be the biggest fool in the world?
??Historically, the Dutch were famous sea coachmen.
"Now, while they haven't risen yet, why not do something like setting a stumbling block for them?"
¡°Besides, the Dutch have joined the new coaching army and are still fighting to the death with the church on the European continent.
Could it be that the Empire had to wait until the Dutch ended the Thirty Years War before they could openly fight against the Dutch and then seize control of the Caribbean?
People who do this are mentally retarded.
"Obviously, Zhao Hongyu is neither stupid nor mentally retarded, so he will not choose that method.
But how will the Dutch react to this?
This is what Zhao Hongyu is a little worried about.
Wang Shan replied: "The European intelligence department has been set up to inquire about information in this regard. Since our concession has just been successful, the information that the intelligence department can obtain is very limited. In addition, the intelligence department's energy is now focused on the church targeting the church. The war between Portugal and France, so there is less information about the Protestant side. "
When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But he also understands that this is normal.
The European Concession has only been under construction for a year, and many buildings have not been completed yet.
The European branch of the Ministry of Intelligence has just established its structure. At the same time, intelligence officers of Chinese descent are also easily spotted by Europeans. Therefore, recruiting Europeans as intelligence officers, coupled with training and other things, it is already very good to be able to do this now. .
So, what else can he ask for?
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan were chatting, and the girls on the other side also had their own topics.
The battleship maintained a steady speed and sailed towards the Caribbean Sea.
At this time, Louis XIII's fleet had just arrived in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and he didn't know that Zhao Hongyu had already left Manhattan.
Now, little Louis XIII¡¯s mind is filled with fantasies about what the American empire will look like, and how to have a good relationship with Zhao Hongyu.
On the same day, on the other side of the earth, in the South China Sea in the East, a pirate named Zheng Zhilong gathered a large number of his own forces and had a fight there with another pirate gang headed by Li Xiang.
In the fierce battle of the South China Sea, the shadows of Portuguese and Spanish warships can also be seen.
1622
The Ming Dynasty ushered in the second year of the Apocalypse
And Nurhachi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who rose up among the black mountains and white waters, made a major decision in this spring, which later generations of scholars called the "Seven Years of the Destiny of the Later Jin Dynasty".
This decision is the system of joint governance of the Qing Dynasty and Shuo Babeile, and the beginning of its unification of the various Jurchen tribes.
At the same time, the Han people living under the rule of Hou Jin began to flee one after another because they could no longer bear the slavery.
In a rage, Nurhaci ordered that the fleeing Han people be hunted and killed.
For a time, all the Han people in the area under Hou Jin's rule were hunted and killed. The scene was so tragic that words cannot describe it.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty felt the strong rise of Hou Jin, coupled with the disastrous defeat in 1621, and began to actively recruit the Yehe tribe, who were also Manchus, to fight with Nurhaci, interfering with Nurhachi's process of unifying the Jurchens.
