Chapter 1107(2/2)
"As expected, Marshal, you know.
As you said, Skull and Bones has a great influence on Europe. Moreover, we also found.
The Skull and Bones Society also has a great influence in the North American territory, and their shadow is behind Washington.
In the past two years, Skull and Bones has also increased its investment in the North American territory.
In Portsmouth Port, two or three large ships full of people and supplies leave for the North American territory almost every day.
Moreover, European countries have also started a craze for gold mining in North America.
There are various legends circulating among the people, all of which talk about the North American continent being filled with gold.
In addition, in the past two years, Europe has been experiencing frequent famines.
During the Great Famine in Ireland last year alone, as many as two million Irish people fled to North America by boat.
We still know too little about that area."
Zheng Sen is obviously very worried about the North American Territory.
"You are right to worry. As far as we know, many of Israel's current technologies are actually supported by scientists from the North American territories!
Especially in the application of electricity, although they are not as good as Ming Dynasty, they are not too different.
Because of the increasing number of European immigrants, North American territories were also moving westward.
They killed countless native Indians along the way!
The governments of the North American territories even openly paid for Indian scalps.
However, the imperial court has also noticed the North American territory. Mao Chengdong's 15th Marine Division has been setting off for half a month.
Their destination is a place called Gold Mountain in the North American Territory!
While the North American Territory Federation has not yet occupied the west coast, we will occupy a place there first."
"If that's the case, that would be great. That area was originally unclaimed land, and whoever occupies it now belongs to whoever owns it.
It is best to occupy more land and immigrate more in the future. Our Ming Dynasty, even if it occupies a piece of land in North America!"
Zheng Sen was very excited because of the secret nature of the matter. Zheng Sen did not send a telegram to tell him about it. Instead, he came back and told Li Xiao face to face.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiao had actually sent out marines to seize the territory.
When the Ming Dynasty expanded its territory overseas, the Marine Corps always took the lead. After occupying fertile land, they would immigrate there in large numbers.
This is a routine routine. There are almost no Aboriginal people or British prisoners in Australia now.
So many years of hard mining life have exhausted those people in all likelihood.
Now, in order to maintain the Ming Dynasty's mineral demand, the Ming Dynasty has no choice but to import a large number of African people from Africa.
India and Bangladesh have also become the main sources of mine coolies.
"It's not a land of no one, there are still aborigines there. It's just that they are too weak, no one will care about him.
In this world, the law of the jungle is always the most basic rule."
Li Xiao took a deep breath of his cigar. If Ming Dynasty had not had him, he would have suffered tremendously.
If nothing else, a war in the late Ming Dynasty would cost the Ming Dynasty hundreds of millions of people.
"Students have been taught." Zheng Sen quickly stood up and bowed down to receive the lesson.
Zheng Sen sat back on the sofa, his lips moved, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.
"As for Tagawa Nanaemon, let's send him back to Japan.
He grew up in the Japanese country, and he no longer has the thinking of our Han people in his mind.
The thinking of the Japanese people is a bit like that of businessmen. They fear power but not morality, and value profit but not farewell.
It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. Let him go!"
Zheng Sen was embarrassed to say it, so Li Xiao said it himself.
"Thank you, teacher!" Zheng Sen was very grateful.
Li Xiao has always had zero tolerance for treason.
According to the previous practice, it is not uncommon to have skin peeling, cramps and cut into pieces.
However, Li Xiao defines Tagawa Nanzaemon as a Japanese, which is different.
After all, Japanese people are not really Ming Dynasty people. Their crimes are much smaller than those of real Ming Dynasty people!
Although in the Japanese country, you would be punished by the local daimyo. It was better to have a hard life than to be cut into pieces with a thousand swords.
After all, it is better to live than die.
This gives Zheng Sen a lot of face!
"Go and see your dad. It has not been easy for your dad these past few years. With the careful treatment by Divine Doctor Li, your dad's condition has improved a lot.
The last time I went to see him, he was able to speak and his thinking was not slow. It is not easy to recover to this point.
It’s about your family...!
Why……!
Other families can more or less pick out a few young people, but how can your family be rid of dandies?
I'll give you two months' leave this time. You can go back to Fuzhou and Quanzhou and take a closer look. The children of your Zheng family have become a public nuisance there.
The government punished a few of them, but considering your family's meritorious service, they still gave them a lighter punishment.
But the imperial court is still a imperial court, and the "Da Ming Code" still has the majesty it should have. The imperial court cannot always think about your family's meritorious deeds!
If something like this happens again in the future, the court will no longer be considerate of your Zheng family's face.
Do you understand what I mean?" Li Xiao stared at Zheng Sen's eyes.
"Uh...! Got it." Zheng Sen had just been enjoying himself for a minute, and a string of fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
There was a strong warning in Li Xiao's words.
"When your vacation is over and you return to the capital, you will go to Honglu Temple and be your great Honglu.
From now on, Europe will remain our focus.
However, one eye should also be kept on the North American territory.
Although that place is relatively far away, it is enough for us to keep our eyes on that place.
You need to find some reliable people to serve as envoys to the Ming Dynasty, stationed in the North American territory.
At the same time, a transatlantic airship route had to be established.
The Pacific Ocean is too big, and although there are some islands in the middle, no ports have been built yet, so supplies cannot be provided at all.
Besides, the weather at sea is unpredictable. Airship flying is not very safe.
A Marine Corps division crossing the sea is already the limit that the Ming Dynasty can guarantee.
