In the past two hundred years, the barbaric Angsa people seemed to be really favored by the fate of heaven and earth. Not only did they spread virally around the world, burning, killing and looting everywhere, but they also plundered countless wealth with extremely bloody and despicable means.
It has caused countless disasters to other ethnic groups.
They also spread diseases such as smallpox and the Black Death to all parts of the world, causing many powerful indigenous tribes to lose large numbers of their populations due to these infectious diseases, and even genocide was not new.
The fertile land left behind after the death of these aboriginal people naturally benefited the Angsa colonists. It often happened that the aboriginal people in an entire area were wiped out, resulting in an extreme shortage of labor in these colonies, and the colonists had to start from scratch.
Slaves were sold elsewhere to fill labor vacancies.
The rampant slave trade came into being and prospered rapidly. In fact, the number of slaves sold was far more than just Heihei. There were also many other races, but most people in later generations only paid attention to Heihei.
Well...this is also the biggest reason why the Heihei people who were satisfied with just picking up food in their own fields and digging for fish in the soil all their lives are able to go out into the world!
…
At Manila Port, the Nanyang Fleet that departed from Tianjin Port arrived today after more than ten days of sailing. The Governor-General of Luzon immediately sent a large number of personnel to pick it up and began arranging for the troops arriving with the fleet to settle in the military camps in the two places.
The three hundred quasi-innate warriors, composed of senior figures from various Daqing families, are the top priority in the reception task. They will still be needed for the next war.
The arrival of these quasi-innate strong men is only the first step. They are still far from being able to go on the battlefield. After all, they are elders in the family who may not have great power but must have a high position.
Each of them is a prominent figure in their respective families. It is not that easy to expect them to obey orders like soldiers.
Fortunately, there are more than 20 innate masters from the [Jia Lian Legion], as well as Liu Changgong and Da Hei, two legendary peak innate experts, controlling the situation, so we are not afraid of these people causing trouble.
I don't know how much time it will take for them to get used to it until they can fight. Whether they can catch up with Jia Lian and Xie Yun's plan to fight together, but even if they can't catch up with the fight, they can still stay in Luzon.
There are quite a few businessmen from Western countries traveling between the port and the city of Manila these days. From time to time, Chinese with strange accents or simply blond and blue-eyed foreigners try to make contact with the Daqing people who come in and out of the Luzon Governor's Palace.
Whether it was building connections, extracting information, or both, after all, the Westerners had discovered a lot of information about the Nanyang Fleet.
The Governor-General of Luzon also had plans for spying on various information from Westerners, and most of the people appointed were direct descendants of the Jia family and the founder of the country.
If the official who actually manages Luzon can still act in a way that is harmful to the interests of the Luzon Governor-General's Office despite having specifically said hello in advance, then he will be punished at his own fault!
As for the few officials sent by the Daqing court, the smart ones naturally understood their embarrassing situation in Luzon, and the stupid ones, it would not be a bad thing if they were caught out early and replaced by their own people from each family!
It is said that both the Dutch and the English are already formulating corresponding tactics against the Daqing "bombers", and they also claim that once a war breaks out, they will definitely be able to contain the Daqing people.
Following the arrival of the Nanyang Fleet, there were also "inspection" teams sent by various high-ranking families and even royal families in Shenjing City who were attracted by the prospect of Jia Lian's plan to open up the sea.
They all had good connections and came with the vested interests in the Manila War except the Jia family. They also had the intention of supplementing the manpower needed to manage Manila City and the port.
The main purpose is of course self-evident. They all want to see what Luzon is like, whether it is really as fertile and fertile as the "Daqing News" said, and also to examine the subsequent investment value here.
Jia Lian has long said that the Jia family in the entire Luzon Island only has Manila City and the surrounding 100-mile area including Manila Port.
The other areas will all be given to the twelve families of the founding nobles, excluding the Jia family. After a hundred years of inheritance from the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes who were so famous during the founding of Daqing, only the Jia family is left.
Thirteen families.
Other families declined because either no one could keep their lintels intact, they had no successors, or because they made mistakes and were deposed by the royal family. It should be noted that the battles in the army are often more serious than in the court.
It's more direct, bloody and brutal.
What's more, some of them were directly involved in the drama of competing for the heir of the Daqing royal family, and were eliminated by the new emperor after they came to power because they were on the wrong team.
For example, in the later years of Emperor Shengyuan, the prince's rebellion led to Jia She being "imprisoned". At that time, the furious Emperor Shengyuan directly wiped out three families of the princes. The founding lineage was seriously injured, and other low-level families were implicated.
There are even more civil and military officials.
It was precisely this kind of "precarious" life that made these nobles so interested in Jia Lian's plan to open up the sea. When Jia Lian proposed a plan, none of the twelve noble generals from the founding family came to see them.
Rejected!
Of course, there are reasons for Jia Daishan's affection and the two palaces of the Jia family in Shenjing City, but these are only the foundation.
The most important thing is the death of Jia Min, the incident in which the twelve innate masters of the Rongguo Mansion went straight to Yangzhou. The bloody massacre of eleven salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River shocked the world, and even the court was silent for a while.
Even if there was a wave of impeachment against Jia Lian in the court, wouldn't it still be unable to do anything to the Duke of Rongguo?
Even later, these noble generals found out about the "strategy to open the sea", and they actually got the news from the Supreme Emperor of Longshou Palace!
Since the young master of the Jia family is willing to remember his ancestral ties and is willing to play with the founders of the country, and has the endorsement of the Supreme Emperor behind him, these twelve families are naturally willing to spend money and effort to accompany him in the gamble.
No, the rewards they are getting now are so rich that they can't even imagine. The big island of Luzon has a total of 160 million acres of land. Even if the Jia family occupies the best part of Manila, which is a hundred miles away, the rest will be divided among them.
Each family has at least tens of millions of acres of land in their hands!
This is the foundation for settling down and establishing a life, and the foundation for passing on to all generations!
At the same time, Jia Lian was naturally willing to use them as a benchmark and example for other families in Daqing.
It’s just Luzon, where is this?
As Jia Lian's spiritual cultivation became more and more advanced, various memories from his past life became clearer. Although the map of Luzon was only glanced at out of curiosity while surfing the Internet in a previous life, it was also copied by Jia Lian.
And they took it out when the twelve founding fathers discussed the distribution of land on Luzon Island. On the map, where there are gold mines, copper mines, iron mines and other precious resources in Luzon, they were all clearly listed.
Chu clearly understands.
At that time, all the families were shocked, but the possibility of such a detailed map being fake was not very high. After the major families divided their respective "fiefdoms" based on that map, this was the first time they sent people to the island.
The next step, of course, is to first find the various minerals that the family has obtained based on the map provided by Jia Lian, and then to inspect the land suitable for farming to build a manor.
Among them, those companies that have been allocated the gold and copper mines are even more impatient. This kind of industry that can obtain a lot of profits must be mined as soon as possible. Only when you eat it first can you truly own it.
With the individual strength of each of them, it would be difficult for them to build and operate such a large territory in Luzon, thousands of miles away. Naturally, the families who followed them for inspection were also their preliminary partners.
After these people stayed in Manila for several days and found several guides through the Luzon Governor's Palace, they began to divide into more than a dozen teams and each headed deeper into the island.
The brothers from Zaoge Mountain who came with the fleet were warmly entertained by the Governor-General of Luzon, who had already received the letter, and then were sent to various locations in Manila.
Although there were some military doctors who came with the Nanyang army, and there were even some doctors among the local indigenous people, they were not as good as the Taoist doctors from the Taoist sect who could give Daqing people confidence.
This is the strong reputation and confidence that Dao Sect has established in the numerous disasters that the people of Daqing Dynasty have encountered over the past hundred years!
In addition, there are many believers of Taoism gods in the Daqing army. Believers usually like to burn incense, worship gods, and ask for autographs, etc. as spiritual sustenance, which is especially important in a foreign country.
In the huge city of Manila and the port of Manila, the first batch of twenty or so Taoist practitioners in Zaoge Mountain are really not enough.
Even a simple small Taoist temple can only manage and support four or five temples. Of course, Jia Lian's senior sister-Miaoqing was assigned to the Qingxin Temple near the Governor's Palace in Manila as the first temple director!
As for the several eminent Buddhist monks who came with them, their treatment was several levels lower. Not to mention that no temples were built, and even the land they wanted needed to be paid for by these monks.
The Governor's Palace of Luzon only provided the monks with the most basic guarantees in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Fortunately, they were in a foreign land and the eminent monks also knew who could be offended and who could not be offended. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with this in their hearts, no one dared
make trouble.
"Bah! You are so shameless. My general is trying to persuade you, but these bald donkeys just sent these people here?"
You still have the nerve to ask us if you want this or that, I just don’t know what to say.”
Hearing the faintly disdainful scolding behind them, the monks who had just walked out of the Luzon Governor's Palace had a wry smile on their faces. Who would have thought that the Lingbao Sect's god-refining warriors would arrive so early.
Who would have thought that that member of the Jia family actually had such a connection with Zaoge Mountain? How could such a skilled god-refiner not follow suit?
Well, we are one step behind the Taoist sect, so we should hurry up and report the situation in Luzon back to the temple as soon as possible...
Those who arrived with the Nanyang Fleet were more businessmen who were engaged in or wanted to engage in maritime trade. Their arrival also laid a solid foundation for Manila's continued prosperity!
The situation in Luzon continues to unfold, and it has barely entered a virtuous circle...
In Wang Xifeng's courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian once again spent a wonderful night with Wang Xifeng, well... Ping'er and Zhiyu were also together.
After all, Xie Yurong was just a concubine, and it was not good for Jia Lian to linger in her courtyard all day long. This was not a good thing for her. After staying in Yurong's courtyard for two days, Jia Lian comforted them in Qin Keqing's and Wang Xifeng's courtyard respectively.
Three days.
In the early morning, Jia Lian pulled himself out of the tangle of pink arms and legs, and went outside while trying not to wake them up, and asked Wang Xifeng's maids Jin Hui and Caiming to wash themselves.
Then he went to the front yard for daily morning exercises with the soldiers.
Then he returned to Rongxi Hall to have breakfast with Qin Keqing and Xie Yurong. Qin Keqing saw Wang Xifeng and Zhiyu, and Ping'er didn't come to have breakfast in the morning, which was a bit strange.
"Sister Feng'er, what's wrong with them today? Are they not up yet?"
"Well... maybe they are a little tired. Let them have a good rest today."
Jia Lian touched his nose in embarrassment. After being promoted to [Loose Immortal Realm], with the support of [God], his [Essence] and [Qi] attributes have also begun to improve rapidly recently. The external manifestation is that his physical fitness has begun to improve rapidly.
Enhance.
Last night, after finally firing the first shot, Jia Lian enthusiastically fired the second shot. The result was that three good paddy fields were almost destroyed by a certain wild bull...
Fortunately, the god-refining warriors in the Sanxian Realm are fused with their natal Taoist tools, and can already use some mid-to-low-end abilities of their natal Taoist tools out of thin air.
For example, Jia Lian's commonly used healing and cultivation spell "Praise of Life", and... When Jia Lian checked again in the morning, he found that Zhiyu's lower abdomen seemed to be emitting some different life fluctuations, but Jia Lian was not sure yet, after all, that
The different life fluctuations are too subtle...
Qin Keqing was indeed a little shocked when she heard this. She had felt the same way her husband had a bull-like physique a few days ago. Could this bad guy have damaged Wang Xifeng?
Not to mention Wang Xifeng, Ping'er and Zhiyu are also the best girls, so don't let anything happen!
"Husband, you...are you really serious? I'll go take a look right now!"
Seeing Qin Keqing's anxious look, Jia Lian felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he had already confirmed it last night and nothing had happened. It just made Wang Xifeng and the other three tired, but he didn't want Qin Keqing to take the matter seriously, so he could only
He had the guts to mention Zhiyu.
"Hey~ They are all fine. It's just that I found that Zhiyu... Zhiyu seemed to have some unusual movement in her stomach. It's okay, but you have also been practicing spiritual cultivation. You can use your spiritual sense to take a look at her later.
My belly, help me confirm it."
"What unusual news? Husband, are you saying that Zhiyu is pregnant? Really? That's great!"
Qin Keqing was a little confused at first, but then he immediately realized what the "movement in his stomach" that Jia Lian was talking about was about, and he quickly asked in surprise.
Unfortunately, Jia Lian took pity on the physical development of Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng and did not give them any "shocks" in the past two years. However, after two years of marriage, no one in the family could lay eggs, and the pressure on her as the head of the family gradually increased.
big.
It was okay with the old lady. Jia Lian's usual words and demeanor were not hidden from Rongqingtang. Of course, the old lady also knew who was responsible for the matter.
But those women from high-ranking and powerful families in the outside world don't care about you so much. Gossip is the nature of Chinese people, especially women.
The current generation of the Duke of Rongguo has no children after two years of marriage. Is it because you, the princess, are too overbearing and cannot give birth to children yourself and will not let others give birth to children?
Thank you for your concern. I am much better today and there will be another update in the evening.
The weather is changeable, so please pay attention to keep warm and cold!
