Chapter 764. The contrast of the prince's chapter
It's cold, but it's not a bitter cold place! Adjacent to the confluence of the Japanese warm current and the cold current of the Kuril Islands, the adjacent sea is a big granary, and the fish that come up to feed the fishy Haizi Port and more than 30,000 Ming immigrants in more than a dozen counties off the coast of Alaska are more than enough, not to mention, there is still more than enough energy to export to the Ming Dynasty.
Not far out of the peninsula, is the later Australia's Iliana volcano, this guy is alive, from the foot of the volcano to obtain volcanic ash, crater to collect sulfur, one of the important materials for industrialization here cement has also begun to get on the right track, with cement, and then there are Liaodong direct export of steel building materials, the urban development potential here is very large.
As for other resources, there are in the fur mountains, and the mineral deposits have not been excavated for thousands of years without digging a shovel, although the gold and silver mines cannot be said to be everywhere, it is not difficult to find them carefully, and there are coal mines nearby to support the alchemy industry and the heating of residents, in short, in addition to the longer winter and a lot less vegetables, this is simply a godsend.
For Mao Xingjian, the only imperfection here is that it is not in his hands!
Ma Bao, who was still a maple uncle the year before last, has now mixed with the Maple Marquis, and he was appointed as the governor of Alaska, from here to the south of the coast of Canada, more than 30 large and small county-level colonies are under his overall management, Mao Jue was given to Mao Xingjian's Rocky Governor, and he went south!
"Why isn't this our territory? Ahh!!h ”
There was still soup on his face, and he was carrying half a king crab in his little hand, and he ripped off his legs, all of which were white crab meat, and while gnawing on it, Han Xiaomo's mouth was still stuffed, and he complained vaguely.
came out with a box in his arms, Mao Xingjian's face was not very ugly, a few wisps of green tendons were constantly beating on his forehead, and the muscles on his face were also twitching, as if he was forcibly enduring his anger.
He has not lost such a big face, and he received it in the past, but he was thrown out of the dust, not to mention, in the Governor's Palace, in front of many nobles in the New World, the Marquis of Maple actually sponsored him a box of gold!
A box of gold!
What do you think of him as a prince? When you want to eat?
Han Xiaomo's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and finally he couldn't suppress his anger, and the prince roared at the sky with great anger.
"Do you really think Lone was abolished like this? Today's humiliation, I remember it alone!! ”
A fist smashed on the box, and at that moment, Mao Xingjian's originally clean and handsome face became as hideous as a ghost, and he gasped violently for a few bites, and then Mao Xingjian grabbed the heavy box again, and strode towards the port angrily.
Seeing the figure of him running straight out, Han Xiaomo looked inexplicable, full of confusion, she sucked her fingers and looked back in amazement.
"Isn't it good to give money?"
"Sister Changping is fun to tie up, His Majesty the Emperor is a spoiled wife maniac, this prince's eldest nephew is not happy to take the money, are the royal people so psychopathic?"
Curious, Mao Xingjian was already running out of the main street of Haizigang, startled, and Han Xiaomo shouted sadly.
"Hey! Wait for me!! ”
Holding the crab leg in one hand and the corner of the skirt in the other, he also took a hurried pace, and Han Xiaomo, who was shouting, also trotted out.
In the harbor of the fishy sea, the Black Pearl and the thirteen New World voyage ships that accompanied the voyage came to say goodbye, carrying the precious metals mined in the New World and the animal skins hunted in the mountains, these treasure ships turned back and brought the original capital accumulation to the new Beiming, since it was built to the present more than ten years, the Black Pearl is also the first time that it has been on the road alone, along the long Canadian coastline south.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Mao Xingjian, who was so stimulated for the first time and felt that his self-esteem had been frustrated, was like a wounded wolf, looking south in a gloomy and annoyed moment.
"Hey, big nephew! It's time to eat! ”
Holding a few cans hot from the fireplace, Han Xiaomo called heavily behind him, but after shouting a few times, Mao Xingjian still looked into the distance as if he was deaf.
"Hey..... Sister Changping said, the rebellious period!"
Reluctantly put the canned food on the table, Han Xiaomo blew away the snow on the stool, and sat on it regardless of whether it was cold or not, and spread out her report book, stained it with a layer of pancake ink, and wrote it in a hurry.
"At the beginning of November of the third year of Haiguo Kaihong, a light snow fell in the sky, and we arrived at Haizi Port with the fleet, and they didn't take us in, so we were kicked out, but the crabs here are really big and delicious!!"
Listening to her writing a report like that, the green tendons on Mao Xingjian's forehead obviously jumped a few times, and his fiery gaze moved heavily to her brain, but after looking at it twice, he looked into the distance again like a deflated ball, and suddenly pulled over the chair and sat next to Han Xiaomo, grabbed a can that was not yet cold, pulled it and poured it into his mouth.
This meal was the most tasteless meal Mao Xingjian had ever eaten, but a few canned food, rice, meat, and dried vegetables were all pulled clean by him, and after eating, regardless of the lame reporter who continued to write the report with a sad face, with anger, Mao Xingjian hurriedly walked back to the captain's room.
With a bang, the box of gold given by Ma Bao was pushed heavily into the large cabinet at the head of the bed, and he immediately locked the cabinet firmly with a lock.
........
Like the British and the Spanish, the original colonies of the Ming Dynasty also spread along the coastline, from the port of the sea to the later Fengshugou town on the north shore of Victoria Bay, all of which belonged to the jurisdiction of the Siberian Governorate of Mabao, and was also bounded by Victoria Bay.
Mao Jue is actually quite generous, territorially, he is equivalent to dividing the entire United States to the crown prince in later generations, although now, this is just a wilderness.
When the Black Pearl anchored in the frozen Victoria Bay, it was almost the end of November, and the sharp hull clucked through the thin ice on the shore, and finally anchored at a distance of dozens of meters from the shore, unable to move forward, and in desperation, the sailors on the fleet simply set up a landing ladder on the spot.
Standing on the bow of the boat and jumping down, Mao Xingjian's cheeks couldn't help twitching again.
It's really much worse than the fishy Haizi Harbor he passed by!
The shore was a stumble of rocky beaches, not to mention the neat cement port, even the tidal flats had never been leveled, and some of the messy and tattered fishing boats of twenty years ago were titched to the sand, and not far inland was the jurisdiction of his governor.
In later generations, this location should be Seattle, a famous western metropolis in the United States, but now, it is a dilapidated town surrounded by dirt, the same wooden buildings, the fishy Haizi Harbor is like a neat chessboard, the roads are wide, the houses are scattered, and there is a neat beauty in the wild, but it is good here, the houses are like rashes, random popping up, some roads are vacant in a large area, and some are several houses crowded together, and you can bump into your neighbors when you open the door.
The sky is foggy, gloomy and depressing, the snow is sparse and falling, the snow in the town has buried the roads, and no one has come to clean it, this colony is not too small, looking at the scale, there are almost 5,000 people of all races, but compared to the vibrant, busy work but full of happiness of the fishy Haizigang immigrants, the huge town seems to be a dead city.
This is called the real wilderness!
The disappointment was inevitably overflowing, and he tightened the fox fur cloak heavily, and held on to the handrail of the landing ladder, Mao Xingjian got off the Black Pearl ship, which had been with him for more than four months.
In the distance, it looks like a lonely empty city, but when it is closer, the fear of the dead city is blowing again, everything is quiet, only the wind blows through the eaves and makes a whining ghost cry, this has just walked to the shore, in the snow, a frozen hard, the remains of the Asian population are revealed, and they fall there stiffly.
It is estimated that this person has been dead for a while, the skin on his face is completely frozen and cracked, a pair of eyes are shriveled down like the eyes of a dead fish, and the broken teeth are crippled, there is no shock, Han Xiaomo who saw it couldn't help but tremble, but when she looked back at Mao Xingjian, who also looked bad, this girl was holding back her fear, and her small breasts like a hen protecting her cubs stood up, blocking the prince behind her.
It's a pity that Mao Xingjian frowned and impatiently pulled her aside
A group of more than 100 people landed on the shore, but until the north wind blew and the rattling of the stockade door, there was still no figure to see, the first mate of the senior officer Li Chu's old face full of sea breeze wrinkles followed and showed full vigilance, his right hand pulled out the left wheel, and the left hand rose backwards, and in the sound of the noise, the sailors of the Black Pearl who followed raised their muskets one after another.
But at this moment, a sound finally came from the town.
"Who are you?"
Leather boots rattled on the snow, and in the vigilance of Mao Xingjian and his party, a man wearing long boots, a thick sheepskin jacket, and a notched leather cowboy hat on his head, looked like he was about forty, and the black and thin man came out gloomily against the snow.
It can be seen that he is also very vigilant, and as he walks, his hands are still holding the handles of two police-made single-shot shotguns at his waist.
The other party also has firearms, Ouyang Lichu, who was born in the flagship of the Royal Navy, covered the prince with his body for the first time, and at the same time wanted to scold him with a gloomy face with a rifle, but before he could say anything, Mao Xingjian reached out behind his back and pushed him away, and with a bang, he opened a yellow holy decree scroll vertically in his hand.
"Lone is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the order of His Majesty, the governor of the Rocky Mountain Colony! Who are you? ”
Obviously stunned by this name, after a few moments, the thick black man finally let go of the gun and fell heavily to one knee on the ground.
"The last general cavalry captain Song Yongzhong, who belongs to the New World Dispatch Team of the Lushun Guard Regiment of the Storm Legion of the Northern Group Army, meets His Royal Highness the Prince!"
