Chapter 953 Mayflower
20 years is enough for us to do a lot of things. We want China's own strength to create a more brilliant civilization with Indians, Mayans, Inca and Maori in the New World!"
Aken and the book demon looked at each other and smiled. They knew that this was Zhang Fan's good idea. Although the colonists of the Ming Empire will exclude European colonists, who can guarantee that the colonists from China will be more friendly? It is not easy to tell the emperor of the empire to send a colonial fleet. However, with the Chinese emperor's concept of 'is it the king's land under the world, and the king's minister on the shore of the earth', he may really treat these local indigenous people well with a soft policy.
But any colonization requires strong national strength and stronger naval strength! I'm afraid these two points are not easy for China, which is closed to the country. Then this heavy task will fall on Zhang Fan's team, build an industrial base, and build a strong fleet that frightened the European powers!
But all this is not overnight, so in the early stage, we used the team's popularity and goodwill in the UK to balance the major forces, secretly develop productivity and improve our own strength on the basis of not attracting attention! But what's there to worry about? The United States of America, known as the first superpower in later generations, was established on a three-masted immigrant ship of the Mayflower!
Now Zhang Fan's team has such a Mayflower, which is specially named after a three-masted sailboat with a similar tonnage in order to cater to history. Judging from the experience that the Pelican can be accepted by Drake, such a practice can indeed be recognized by history. But now the question is whether this Mayflower will go to Plymouth Harbor or mainland China.
Finally, under the discussion of the three, the Mayflower still went to Plymouth Harbor to receive Protestant immigrants to North America. Perhaps a group of American founders were born in the team's planning, so that the team became the promoter of history and gained recognition from the historical scene. However, there will also be a larger fleet to go to the Chinese mainland, so that the Chinese people who can't survive in the Ming Empire or want to go to the new world come to the same continent! Inheriting history and changing history are equally important.
"Let's go to England first and inform the Queen of England of the geographical discovery of this voyage and ask her to commend and support us. This attack on the Hawkins fleet will definitely impress her. And I will definitely support our confrontation with Spain! And give us great policy benefits and other benefits, at least not worse than Drake's travel around the world! Elizabeth I, an old maid, is a financial fan, and she is very financially tight now. Aken began to lay out the task, "When I come back, I will fly to mainland China with the book demon to ask the Ming Emperor for an explanation. We will expand our territory for China, and we will return to China to help destroy the pirates and Japanese pirates. At least we can't do it for nothing!"
Zhang Fan nodded and asked, "So what should I do in Panama now?"
Akan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to do the job of Captain Baca, let him stay in Panama and establish two hiding places here, one relying on this Spanish colonial port, built in the Caribbean. There is another one on the Pacific coast. In this way, the resources of the two sides can be used for each other and should develop quickly. Chinese pirates and Maori stayed here to help build it.
"What if he refuses?" Zhang Fan asked.
Akan calculated and said, "Then leave Wang Cuiqi here, maybe the construction will be slower. In the future, we will go to England and ask the Queen of England to help encourage some craftsmen to come. Later, Chinese immigrants took root here and then emigrated to San Francisco in North America. The infiltration of North America from there is also in line with the history of Chinese immigration to North America.
Speaking of this, Aken smiled, "I'd like to see if it's the group of American founding pioneers brought by the Mayflower, or our Chinese immigrants are more powerful!" Let's see who the world will end up in North America! By the way, what was the first ship to China? Change the name of one of our ships..."
The book demon pushed the monograph glasses and said lightly, "The first ship of the United States to go to China was the 360-ton three-masted three-masted ship 'Chinese Queen THEEMPRESSOFCHINA' on February 22, 1784, which set off for the U.S. President Washington, to Huangpu Port in Guangzhou, China. This is an armed merchant ship, and Captain Green was selected from the U.S. Navy. Morris, the shipowner, became the first U.S. Treasury Secretary because of this unprecedented successful trade..."
Aken waved his hand and interrupted the book demon's lengthy introduction, "It's called 'Queen of China'... Well, I remember we have a three-masted armed sailboat called this name? Have you had this idea for a long time?
The book demon shrugged his shoulders, "There is no harm in planning early..."
Aken said with great joy: "Then let this ship sail to China now and don't waste time. It will take more than a year to go there like this. Let's leave early. I'm afraid it won't arrive until we come back from China. Oh, by the way, it will be February 22, 1569. Let's choose this day to leave, 215 years ahead of schedule. Hey hey! By the way, what are the goods arriving in Guangzhou?
The book demon still said faintly: "473 loads of ginseng, 2,600 pieces of fur, 1270 feathers, 26 loads of pepper, 476 loads of lead, and 300 loads of cotton. These goods are a little troublesome for ginseng. I prepared Captain Baca long before I went to mainland China... In order to transport more Chinese immigrants, I suggest sailing three more sailboats and bring some hot goods by the way..."
"Of course! I love you so much!" Aken hugged the book demon excitedly and kissed him, then spit disgustingly and stared at everyone fiercely, "No one is allowed to say it..."
............
Captain Baca was very unwilling to leave his hiding place, but when Zhang Fan introduced Ms. Wang Cuiqiong to him, the old pirate changed his mind. As a famous Chinese woman in history, Wang Cuiqi seems to have a special attraction to pirates. Even tens of thousands of miles away, the Pirates of the Caribbean on the other side of the ocean can't resist her charm!
And Wang Cuijiao's background also fascinated the adventurous Captain Baca. A beautiful aristocratic woman of the Chinese Empire became a legendary wife of the Chinese pirate king. What's more interesting is that the pirate king used to be a monk. And isn't it God's arrangement for such a legendary widow to come to the New World thousands of miles away to meet her?!
You should know that Europeans pay little attention to the remarriage of women that Chinese people are very concerned about. For adventurous European captains, Wang Cuiqi's experiences will only increase their indescribable mystery and irresistible charm! Captain Baca, who has been unmarried for many years after losing his wife, was simply fascinated by Wang Cuiqi!
For Wang Cuiqi, she was very moved to have a man willing to accept her. You should know that the remnants like yourself are controversial in mainland China! There is no other way but to be a valuable player! How did she know that on the other side of the world, her background from a mysterious oriental imperial aristocratic family and a legendary experience comparable to any first-class adventurer, coupled with her impeccable beauty, was obviously an irresistible advantage of the European aristocracy! If it is in the upper class in Europe, it is a charming social flower, and it will even be canonized by the royal family! Pursued by countless nobles!
Since seeing Wang Cuiqiao, Captain Baca almost went to learn from those European dboys, went to pay attention to her, and sang a serenade under her window with roses. In fact, even Captain Hooker is jealous. If it hadn't been for the prestige of Zhang Fan and Caterina, the two pirate captains might have fought for Wang Cuijiao.
Zhang Fan was surprised by such a result. But it made Aken laugh. A thing that originally gave him a headache was solved, but there was no trouble at all. By the way, Captain Hooker was also seduced here. Originally, Akan Book Demon was also worried about whether these exotic pirates would fight against the water. With Wang Cuiqi, these haze were blown away by the wind...
In fact, Wang Cuiqia's business ability is no worse than that of Captain Baca, but he does not have Captain Baca's mechanical manufacturing ability. But in terms of trade, base construction and finance, I'm afraid it will be better!
And as a child of ancient Chinese officials and eunuchs, she has received the brainwashing education of orthodox three subordinates and four virtues, three principles and five permanent, loyalty to the country and loyalty to the family. Otherwise, she would not have persuaded Xu Hai, the Chinese pirate king, to surrender to the court. This makes Wang CuiQIhao have no objection to accepting the leadership of Zhang Fan's team, and even respect and worship this aristocratic leader from his hometown. With the superstition of close religious, he unconditionally obeyed the command of Zhang Fan's team.
In Wang Cuiqi's view, Zhang Fan and his team represent the interests of the court of the Ming Empire. To serve them is to serve the court. One day, you will be able to get the approval of the court, wash away your dust, and make your persecuted father sink into injustice and no longer humiliate your ancestors! This shows how far-reaching the brainwashing education of the Chinese feudal society for thousands of years has had a far-reaching impact on the behavior of Chinese women! In the future, Zhang Fan's team persuaded these Caribbean pirates to return to China and buried an unexpected pawn...
............
After settling these Pirates of the Caribbean, Chinese pirates, and Maori, Zhang Fan Akan and book demons immediately flew to Plymouth Harbor in England. Here, they also want to plunder the captain and admiral Francis, the first British plunder in the future. Drake and John. Hawkins, make another political investment. The advantage of knowing history is that you will never invest wrongly and hold the wrong thigh!
