After nearly a month of sailing, Zhang Ning finally found the later San Francisco according to the chart. After entering the port, the entire fleet began to set up camps here and explored the surrounding areas. The fleet used this port as the center to explore and draw on the north and south coastlines.&1t;/p>

The results of the investigation disappointed Zhang Ning. They did not realize any gold medals, but it was gratifying that he saw a treasure land with thousands of miles of fertile land.&1t;/p>

Inside the port is a large bay, and it is also connected to several large rivers. The upper reaches of these rivers are a central valley.&1t;/p>

The climate here is also relatively mild. Although there are some extreme climates, it is mild in most areas.&1t;/p>

The climate is mild, there is enough water for you, and there is a flat valley, what does that mean?&1t;/p>

This means that as long as a water conservancy irrigation system is built here, it can turn it into a rich place. Of course, the problem now is that no one is.&1t;/p>

It is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the local area, and it takes at least four months to travel back and forth. If there are some unfavorable climate and other factors on the road, it may take five months to travel back and forth, which is almost half a year. The journey can be said to be quite long. If there was not a Honolulu Islands in the middle as a supply point, immigration would become very difficult. Despite this, immigration efficiency is still not high.&1t;/p>

Now the Ming Dynasty is constantly immigrating to South China and Australia. Obviously, will the main immigrant forces be placed on the west coast of the Americas for a while.&1t;/p>

However, immigration will definitely be carried out, and Zhang Ning and his fleet are the pioneers.&1t;/p>

More than 2,000 soldiers from the fleet climbed 6 to Jinshan Bay, and then started military farming and fortification activities here to form a stronghold that can support immigration activities here.&1t;/p>

This stronghold is very safe. The Spaniards have not expanded to North America yet, and the Indians cannot threaten these fully armed soldiers.&1t;/p>

As long as the fortress is built, it will be difficult for the Spaniards to attack here. This means that several times the troops are needed, but several times the troops are transported, and supply is another problem.&1t;/p>

For the Indians here, the basic policy is to communicate with them. When it hinders the expansion of immigration, Indian tribes who are willing to surrender will be integrated, and those who are unwilling to integrate will be expelled by force, and massacres will be prohibited in principle.&1t;/p>

At this time, the fleet set up a stronghold in the Americas. There was no large-scale immigration, and the conflicts with the Indians were relatively small, and conflicts did not occur frequently. When the scale of immigration in the future was larger, conflicts would inevitably arise between races.&1t;/p>

Although the Ming Dynasty was relatively gentle to the Indians, it still could not get rid of the route of conquest by force. Only by conquering them and being gentle could it be effective, otherwise it would only be considered weak.&1t;/p>

Indians are innocent, but every man is guilty of possessing a treasure.&1t;/p>

The world is moving forward. Indians are unwilling to show off, and even do not accept more advanced civilizations. It is normal to be beaten.&1t;/p>

While setting up a stronghold, the fleet explored along the coastline, and the warships exploring south had contact with the Spaniards.&1t;/p>

Two Ming warships visited several Spanish ports and returned to Jinshan Bay after a round trip in Central America. Of course, the warships did not enter the port, but sent small boats to the port for visits. The Spaniards at these ports did not dare to refuse. After all, the tonnage of these two warships was relatively large and were full of heavy artillery. If they wanted to forcibly attack the port, the Spaniards might not be able to stop it.&1t;/p>

In this era, the Spanish did not have that strong defense force in Central and South America. After all, the power to be transferred to the Americas is limited across the Atlantic Ocean. Moreover, the Spaniards are still colonizing everywhere and there are many such ports along the coast. The defense force of a single port could not even stop the British pirate Drake.&1t;/p>

After strengthening the port defense force, it is not a big problem to resist pirate attacks, but it is not so easy to face these two large-tonnage Ming warships.&1t;/p>

After the Spanish Governor to Mexico learned the news, he was shocked. The Ming Dynasty is now famous in Europe, and Spain is even more familiar with the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty suddenly soared, just as a previous concern of a certain governor to the Philippines. It began to display its maritime power and directly drove the Dutch and their Spain out of Asia.&1t;/p>

In recent years, the types of goods exported to Europe by the Ming Dynasty have gradually increased. Among the new products, the most popular ones are chemical dyes and weapons and equipment.&1t;/p>

When the cannons and flints of the Ming Empire were exported to the European Big 6, they were quickly robbed by various countries. Now, these flints and cannons can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. Flints have also become something that countries compete to imitate, but their quality is still not as good as those of the Ming Empire. The main reason is that there is a little gap in metallurgical technology, but the flints of the Europeans have been corrupted.&1t;/p>

However, what shocked the Mexican Governor was that the Ming Empire left an envoy in their port to negotiate with them.&1t;/p>

It is a matter of undesirable to be able to trade with the Ming Empire. Now the trade with the Ming Dynasty has been monopolized by the Portuguese, which makes Spain and the Netherlands jealous.&1t;/p>

Especially countries like Spain have a great dependence on the Ming Dynasty's goods. Because the Spanish colonial model belongs to the plundering model and does not develop colonies, it also caused severe inflation due to the plunder of a large amount of precious metals from the Americas, which suppressed local industrial exhibitions.

Therefore, the Spaniards have long relied on importing goods from other European countries and China. In the past, China only provided light industrial products, such as cotton, raw silk, ceramics, spices, and tea. However, today, China has begun to export heavy industrial products to Europe. Such as a large number of steel products, arms, etc., things that can be bought in European countries can now be purchased in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
