It's already cold in Northern California in October.

Of course, California is only a temporary name within the Tiger Army, and this land will be renamed in the future.

Company commander Xie Jin climbed down from the side of the steamer and climbed onto a small sampan next to the big ship. The waves on the sea near the shore were very large, and Xie Jin took some effort to stand firmly on the small sampan, and almost fell into the sea.

This is not because Xie Jin is not skilled, but because Xie Jin is an army company commander and is not good at ship operations.

The soldiers on the small sampan were waiting for Xie Jin, and when they saw the company commander getting on the boat, everyone began to paddle in unison and headed for the continent to the east.

Xie Jin looked at the coastline in the distance and couldn't help but feel a little imaginative.

Xie Jin was one of the first members of the New World Pioneer Army, and their mission was to establish the first Han stronghold on the west coast of the New World.

Xie Jin had never had any idea of the New World before, after all, this place was too far away. Although this place has always been marked by the prince and drawn on large and small maps, it has never been able to give Xie Jin any impression. After all, for thousands of years, the Han people have not expanded to the outside world, and have been guarding the ancestral land within the Great Wall, how can they ever go to a place tens of thousands of miles away?

Therefore, although after the education of the prince, everyone knows that there is a vast continent tens of thousands of miles to the east, but the people of one town and nine provinces have no feeling about it.

Because it's so far away.

However, what Xie Jin didn't expect was that he would really be sent to this continent as an officer one day to conquer this land on behalf of the Han people.

An ironclad ship loaded with coal and supplies drove to Northern California with Xie Jin's company. It took too long to cross the Pacific, and all the gunners on the 700-ton steamer were withdrawn to make room for fuel and supplies. There were more than thirty sailors and more than a hundred army soldiers on the whole ship.

After a twenty-five day's drive from Tianjin, the advance party arrived in Northern California.

One town and nine provinces have already occupied the Indochina Peninsula, the Southeast Asian Islands and Australia, and now they are occupying the New World, how vast will the territory of the Han people be?

The prince's career is really jaw-dropping.

The coastline is getting closer and closer to the small sampan, and Xie Jin can't help but feel a little imaginative.

It has been 14 years since Xie Jin joined the Tiger Army, and when Xie Jin joined the army 14 years ago, he was a 17-year-old boy, and now he is a 31-year-old junior officer in the army. In the past fourteen years, Xie Jin's life has changed dramatically.

The year Xie Jin joined the army was the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and the Tatars broke through the pass and ravaged Gyeonggi. Xie Jin took his mother and sister to avoid the county, but he missed the crops and almost starved to death. In the end, it was because he was selected by the Tiger Ben Army, and since then he has the salary of the Tiger Ben Army, so all the small traders are desperately selling things to him on credit, so that his family does not starve to death.

At that time, the Xie Jin family of three cultivated nineteen acres of dry land, and they were as poor as they wanted. My sister has been thin and small since she was a child because of malnutrition.

However, since Xie Jin joined the Tiger Army, his family has become rich like a rocket.

At the beginning, the monthly money of the Tiger Ben Army was three or two a month, which was already considerable. Xie Jin was reluctant to spend money at that time, desperately saved money, and brought the money to his mother and sister every month when he went home. But this rich monthly money is not enough to measure Xie Jin's future - after five years of serving as a soldier in the Tiger Ben Army, Xie was promoted to squad leader, and the monthly money rose to seven taels, and later became eight taels with the improvement of the standard of the whole army.

When Xie Jin's sister got married, Xie Jin spent a hundred taels of silver as a dowry, so that his sister could marry in a beautiful manner. This enviable dowry has been discussed in Dadong Township for more than half a year.

In the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, Xie Jin went north with the army to destroy the Tartars, occupied Liaodong, and then distributed 300 acres of Liaodong Grange.

These 300 acres of grange suddenly made Xie Jin a rich man, Xie Jin contracted the grange to the "service team", and he could get two or three hundred taels of silver every year for collecting land rent.

Not long after, Xie was promoted to platoon commander, and his monthly money became more than ten taels a month. After another four years, Xie was promoted to company commander, and the monthly salary became thirty taels.

Xie Jin has been fighting in the army, and he got married very late, at the age of twenty-five. However, this "late marriage" did not affect Xie Jin's competitiveness, and his daughter-in-law was the most beautiful girl in Dadong Township. Xie Jin bought a three-acre piece of land next to the old mansion and built a large mansion with three entrances.

Of course, Xie Jin's mansion was empty most of the time. Most of the time they lived in the Fanjiazhuang barracks. His daughter-in-law also lives with him in Fanjiazhuang, where he also has a luxury villa.

Xie Jin was only a company commander in the Tiger Army, and his position did not seem to be high. But for ordinary people, Xie Jin is already a prominent officer. The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army are the envy of ordinary people, let alone the company commander who is in charge of more than 100 soldiers? Today's Xie Jin has become a famous figure in his hometown, and he is a successful person who is envied by everyone.

Xie Jin understands that he is not a talented person with outstanding ability, and his success is all because of the prince's career. It is precisely because the prince's career is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball that he is rising with the tide and living more and more.

However, now the prince has conquered the New World, North America! In the future, those who follow the prince, how far will they go?

Is the prince really going to lead the Han people to occupy the whole world?

Now in one town and nine provinces, everyone firmly believes that the prince is descended from the stars, and the prestige of the prince has reached an unbelievable level. There are even many rich people in the village and in the city to Li Zhili ancestral shrine, and worship the prince as a god.

Looking at the increasingly clear coastline of North America, Xie Jin was a little speechless.

The sampan moved forward little by little, and finally stopped on the beach.

Xie Jin jumped off the sampan, stood on the beach and loaded the shotgun, and shouted loudly: "Diamond-shaped stragglers, cover each other's advance!" ”

Xie Jin was a little nervous on behalf of the Han people who set foot on this vast land for the first time.

According to the introduction of the prince in the book, North America is not a no-man's land. There are indigenous people known as Indians.

Of course, there were white people on the east coast of North America, including the Dutch, British, and French, who established colonies on the east coast of North America and continued to migrate to this land. But that was on the east coast, and there were no white people on the west coast of North America.

Xie Jin led the team to explore the depths of the land.

A dense field of cedar trees greeted you. The cedar trees are different from the cedar trees of the Ming Dynasty, each one is very huge, dozens of meters high. The gap between the trees was often one or two meters, and Xie Jin felt that he could ride a horse in this wood.

There were plants everywhere that the Ming Dynasty had never had, which made the soldiers very curious. The soldiers walked forward with their guns in hand, gradually relaxed, and began to look around them.

The temperature is about 12 or 3 degrees, which is about the same as Tianjin. Because it's by the sea, it's humid. The sunlight sprinkled down from the gaps in the leaves of the cedar trees, shining warmly on Xie Jin's body.

The climatic conditions are similar to those of Tianjin, which is a fertile land suitable for Han Chinese development.
