Chapter 982: Beautiful China
The first generation of colonists in the Americas has bred a new generation of native residents, although they are still young, the oldest is only five or six years old, but this also gives Zhang Fan's team hope for the future of the colony. But this is not enough, in order for China to occupy the entire New World, the population of the Book Demon is estimated to reach at least 5 million! During this period, it was necessary to continuously transport supplies from the mainland and strengthen trade ties with the colonies of the New World in order to consolidate the development of the colonies.
"Maybe before the end of this scene, we can see China's Liliang rise in the New World!" Zhang Fan patted the shoulders of the two companions and said with emotion.
"I think that's for sure!" Akon seems to be a little tired, he has paid a lot for the Chinese colonization in recent years. He suddenly smiled and said to Zhang Fan, "By the way, I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear?" ”
"Let's start with the bad news." Zhang Fan knows Akon very well, and even if he is bad news, his current appearance will not be too bad.
"The bad news is that your girlfriend ran away with someone......" Akon smiled slyly.
The book demon wondered, "Which one are you talking about?" ”
Zhang Fan was embarrassed when he heard this, "What, where did I get so many girlfriends...... Uh, which one did you say ran away......"
"Don't worry, it's not Dark Sakura, it's Katarina." Akon daxiao.
Zhang Fan was obviously relieved when he heard this, but his mood was still a little lost, "Who said she was my girlfriend, we are just ordinary friends...... Well, it's just a good relationship with the characters in the scene, not as ...... as you say Uh, who did she fall out with? ”
"Hey, hey." Akon smiled noncommittally, "Who are you on?" That's good news......"
"What's the good news?" Zhang Fan was curious.
Akon handed Zhang Fan a wax-sealed letterhead, which was a special waterproof paper for pirates to transmit information, Zhang Fan opened it and saw that it was actually a wedding invitation between Caterina and Captain Hook, but the date on it seemed to have been ......
"There'...... here," Akon pulled out a few more pieces of paper, looking formal.
Zhang Fan took a look and exclaimed, "They all already have children?!!! ”
"It seems like we haven't seen them for a few years......" Akon sighed a little, in the past few years, everyone has been busy with the affairs of the Chinese colony, and the base rarely goes back. Even when they returned, they rarely saw Caterina and Captain Hook, who always seemed to be robbing at sea. Wandering around a few hiding places, there was too little time for everyone to meet. But Captain Baka and Wang Cuiqiao and his wife can always be seen. But it's also in a hurry, and I'm going to be busy again.
Zhang Fan took a few pieces of letterhead and looked at them repeatedly, most of the contents were written by Katerina to himself, and there was no lack of faint sourness in his words that had been carefully disguised. I don't know when, Akon and the book demon quietly slipped away, leaving only Zhang Fan alone, alone by the sea and the wind, falling into an inexplicable melancholy.
Until the sun went down and night fell, Zhang Fan looked at the starlight on the sea, reflecting the lights on the more than 100 ships, and his mind was full of the scenes after he and Caterina met, as if it was just yesterday.
"Caterina ......" Zhang Fan muttered to himself, "Akon, help me prepare a gift......
Akon replied for a long time, "Midori Wing and Dark Sakura have already given gifts in your name, do you think it's still necessary?" ”
"Oh, have they already delivered it? Then forget it......" Zhang Fan was silent.
Zhang Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, tore up a few pieces of letterhead, threw them into the wind, and said to Aken: "You go and ask Wang Cuiqiao, if she is willing to colonize the New World with Captain Baka, we will help her fight for a decree from the imperial court, and also let her glorify her ancestors, so that she can explain to her ancestors." ”
Akon was silent for a moment, then replied, "I asked the bookdemon and I about her three years ago......"
"What did she say?" Zhang Fan asked.
"She said that Wang Cuiqiao is dead, and there is only Mrs. Baka in the Caribbean......" Akon's tone was also a little melancholy, "but she said that as long as Jinghai Hou needs it, no matter where she goes, she and her husband will swear to follow her!" Also, Caterina and Captain Hook mean the same thing. How do I feel as if I owe them a favor......"
Zhang Fan smiled: "It seems that you are mature." Forget it, don't talk about that. What's next? We also occupied the New World of North and South America. The so-called European powers, in this era, are nothing more than that. What else can we do? ”
The voice of the book demon sounded in Zhang Fan's heart, "With all due respect, we don't have a clue about our main task yet......"
Zhang Fan patted his head, "We have been looking for a piece of 'evidence of the four seas' for a long time, and we seem to have no clue." Even if we have not dealt with pirates in the Caribbean and China and even Shijie, we have learned about them through various channels. It's very strange that there is no relevant information at all, are we ignoring something? ”
The book demon didn't answer Zhang Fan's question, but said lightly: "This 'evidence of the four seas' really lives up to its name, after we got two pieces, we actually created such a brilliant hegemony with the help of China." And don't you think it's interesting that there are left and right sources and mutual strength between China and the European powers? ”
Zhang Fan Akin listened to the book demon say this, but fell silent, and after a while, Zhang Fan asked, "What do you know?" Or, do you mean that the person who holds a piece of Zuihou's 'evidence of the four seas' will definitely expose himself? Will he be like us, will he be on the stage of Shijie and make great achievements? ”
The book demon was noncommittal, still drinking black tea, and said calmly: "Twenty years of scenes, a lot can happen. Those who should go to the stage will not be overwhelmed by our brilliance, nor will they be forgotten by history......"
…………
Now that the colonies in the New World are in healthy operation, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Fan's team to take care of so many places. And this time the Ming court is still very thorough, unlike the European colonies, the Ming government appointed many colonial officials, the administrative means are relatively sound, and the speed of development is relatively fast. The population of each colony is also relatively large compared to the European colonies, so the local defense liliang is relatively strong, which is the advantage of the population base of the Ming Dynasty.
Now the Caribbean base is under the management of Captain Baka and Wang Cuiqiao, and there is no need to worry about it. All kinds of propeller sailboats and main weapons have also been finalized, as long as they keep it secret and open up the gap with the Jishu of European countries, they are not afraid of a counterattack by them. So there's basically no need for the team to focus on it.
Moreover, Jing Haihou was the de facto leader of China's 200 colonies in the New World, and the trade between Europe and China and these colonies was completely controlled by Zhang Fan's team and the 'Caribbean Alliance'. This made Zhang Fan's team make a lot of money. Of course, for Daming, who supports the development of his team, Zhang Fan's team will not forget. A large number of tributes and bribes were continuously shipped to mainland China. Let Hu Zongxian and others, the powerful ministers of the Ming Dynasty, get great benefits, and support this Jinghaihou even more.
Emperor Jiajing and the imperial court, because they received a large amount of tribute, had a light on their faces, and they commended this Jinghai Hou. After Akon once again sent a secret medicine of life configured by Yaoji, Emperor Jiajing's body returned to his prime, so Longyan Dayue crowned Zhang Fan as the king of the Americas, and the New World as his fief, known as the United States, taking its meaning of 'beautiful China'. This can be regarded as another historical return to the scene. The fame and scene strength of Zhang Fan's team have improved again!
After settling the affairs of the colonies in the New World, in order to find a piece of 'evidence of the four seas' in Zuihou, that is, a fragment of Zuihou in the reverse scale of 'Ying Long', Zhang Fan's team began to travel around Shijie by boat.
This time, the team sailed two legendary ships across the Atlantic, into the Mediterranean, on the Sinai Peninsula, by land to the Red Sea, and then through the Gulf of Aden, around the Arabian Peninsula and across the Arabian Sea. In this area, it is the territory of the Arabs, and you can see many Arabian dhows. There were also Arab pirates, who were much more organized and more specialized than modern Somali pirates. Compared to the five major pirate groups in the Caribbean, it is not far behind!
Moreover, Zhang Fan's team also encountered a very powerful legendary pirate ship, which was an Arabian sailing ship with a powerful flame demon god guard, and its flame impact ship combat skills were very powerful, almost hitting the 'ship of the undead (life)'! Zhang Fan's team had a big battle with it! If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was still very chivalrous, he chose a one-on-one battle, and let his pirate fleet of more than ten ships not interfere, and was defeated by the powerful 'Undead (Life) Boat', the consequence is that Zhang Fan's team would have fled in embarrassment.
However, the current 'Ship of the Undead (Life) has skyrocketed in strength after obtaining the blood sail of Hydra Hydra! It used to be able to summon 500 death elves, but now it has been reduced to 100, but its strength has increased more than tenfold! Each Death Elf can transform into a Dead Tree Man and take root in the 'Ship of the Dead', which not only has stronger defense, but also shoots Death Deadwood Arrows that can not only wood opponents, but also carry poison! You can also continuously absorb the vitality and durability of your opponents! It can also deal damage to enemy hulls.
After the deadwood arrows hit the opposing ships and people, the arrows will grow roots and take root in the hull and human body, constantly absorbing flesh life and hull durability, and then the deadwood arrows will begin to rejuvenate by absorbing this life essence, grow shoots and leaves, and even civilize the fruit. And the opponent's personnel and ships are shriveled and withered, deadwood, zuihou death and disintegration!
And among the fruits of those dead dead arrows, more little death elves will crawl out and continue to wreak havoc everywhere, and even turn into small dead tree people, take root in the hull of the opponent's ship, shoot more dead wood arrows, and destroy the opponent's ships in a cycle, and kill and injure the opponent's personnel. This vicious way of attacking by fighting is very terrifying!
