Jindao is a port area full of devastation and ruins. The people on Jindao are busy rebuilding their homes. The losses this time are really too great.
The home that had been built with more than ten years of hard work was destroyed in one fell swoop, and years of accumulation were wiped out. Many brothers and uncles died in this defense battle.
This made the entire Golden Island immersed in grief.
No matter whether you are sad or sad, life still has to go on and your home needs to be rebuilt.
Woohoo~
Accompanied by the sound of whistles, several large steamships slowly sailed towards the port of Jindao, with the flag of the South African colony hanging on them.
"It's a ship from the South African colony!"
Li Meng recognized it at a glance. There were many ships docking for supplies at Jindao, and the flags of major trading houses and colonies were easily recognized.
Several large steamships slowly moored.
"I'm sorry, we may not be able to provide you with supply and maintenance services here on Jindao!"
Huang Chong came to the port and looked at the people getting off the boat and said.
In the past, providing supplies and ship repair services to passing ships was one of Jindao's main businesses. Relying on this business, the people on Jindao also had a good income, and Jindao's ship maintenance technology was quite good, as long as there were spare parts.
, even steamships can be repaired for you.
But now, the place is devastated, and the buildings have been almost destroyed. Everyone is busy rebuilding their homes, and there is still time to do other things.
"Lord Huang!"
"This time we are ordered to send supplies to your Golden Island Colony."
"Everyone is very sympathetic after knowing what happened to your Golden Island Colony. Our South African Governor, Mr. Duhou, also specially donated some cement, steel bars, food and engineering machinery to your Golden Island Colony. I hope you can rebuild your home as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible.
"
The captain also said with a smile.
"ah?"
Huang Chong, Li Meng and others were dumbfounded when they heard that there was such a good thing. The South African colony actually gave them supplies, including reinforced concrete, food and engineering machinery that Jindao desperately needed.
This is really a timely help.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"
"Come, come, please come inside, please come inside!"
"Come here, prepare wine and food to entertain the distinguished guests!"
Then, the people in Jindao were also overjoyed, and they suddenly became extremely enthusiastic and entertained him with good wine and delicious food.
When they started unloading goods from the ship, they realized that the South African colony was really generous this time, and several large ships were fully loaded.
Food, steel bars, cement, and some construction machinery are enough to quickly rebuild homes on Jindao.
Originally, Huang Chong was still having a headache about purchasing these supplies, but now that they were available, it was really timely.
Next, supplies from other colonies were transported to Jindao one after another. Ningguo sent a shipload of grain, Chu State sent hundreds of cattle, sheep and horses, and the Western United Trading Company
Some cloth and cane sugar were sent...
Unlike Xingguo, which was isolated by everyone, Jindao, as a weak and invaded party, not only received everyone's sympathy, but also received everyone's support and help.
The overseas vassal and colonial system is something that needs to be maintained by everyone, and it is also a rule that everyone must abide by.
Ning State, Chu State, South African Colony, Western United Trading Company and other large vassal states and large colonies all abide by this rule and have been working hard to maintain this rule of the game.
Because everyone knows that rules are to protect ourselves. If there are no rules and everyone fights back and forth, who can guarantee that they will have the last laugh?
There are rules now. As long as everyone abides by the rules of the game, everyone can have the last laugh and live a stable life.
Isn’t this the kind of life everyone comes to overseas for?
More merchant ships are berthing on Jindao, which also makes the business on Jindao better and better.
Life here in Xingguo is difficult.
Isolated by numerous overseas colonies, no one had money to buy anything, and there were no ships. Trading companies were willing to go to Xingguo to anchor and do business, which caused Xingguo's business to plummet.
It also made King Xing frown all day long, not thinking about food and tea, and if he couldn't eat well, who would be in trouble.
"What should I do now?"
"No one wants to have anything to do with our Xingguo. How can we, Xingguo, develop?"
"There is no way to repair the reservoir, there are no ships to berth in the ports, and even the commercial banks have evacuated our Xingguo on a large scale. If this continues, when can we Xingguo develop?"
"I shouldn't have coveted the Golden Island in the first place. I didn't get anything. Instead, I ended up in the current situation."
King Xing regretted it so much that his intestines turned green with regret.
This is the ability to seize territory from the Spaniards, and this is to use knives to seize the territory with our own people. This is a quarrel, arousing public anger, and triggering the good rules of the game that everyone has always adhered to. Naturally, there is an unjust and unjust rule.
It's the end of help.
King Xing frowned, and Jindao was busy rebuilding his home.
On the other hand, what happened to Golden Island this time also gave all the vassal states and colonies a wake-up call, that is, if you want to seize the land, you must occupy it as early as possible while the land is still unclaimed.
Once this is occupied, it will be your land.
If you wait until someone else occupies it first, you won't have a share.
At that time, it will be almost difficult to expand the territory, because everyone cannot use force to seize land from each other.
This suddenly made the colonies and vassal states in Africa begin to desperately expand into the interior areas of Africa, all wanting to seize more land.
The interior of Africa has always been a terra incognita, and it is also a place that no one is willing to go deep into.
Because there are many various diseases on the African continent, among them malaria and yellow fever are things that everyone hears about. Malaria is not a problem, it is also commonly known as a disease, and now there are medicines that can cure it.
The cinchona tree introduced from Huanghuangzhou can effectively treat malaria, which also allowed the Ming Dynasty to conquer this disease.
But for yellow fever, a disease with a very high mortality rate and a very contagious nature, doctors in the Ming Dynasty still have no good way to prevent and treat it.
In addition, various diseases such as sleeping sickness, schistosomiasis, dengue fever, leprosy, and dysentery are rampant in the interior of Africa.
To the people of the Ming Dynasty, the inland areas of Africa were like places of plague. People who went deep into the inland areas often suffered from various diseases and often died before receiving treatment.
This also led to the fact that the Ming Dynasty's colonies and vassal states in Africa were almost all established along the coastline, rivers and the like, and did not dare to go too far into the inland areas of Africa.
Among them, the ones that penetrated the deepest into the inland areas were the Chu State and the South African Colony.
The Chu State occupied the East African plateau area. The climate in the plateau area was cool and there were few diseases, so there was nothing wrong with it.
The South African colonies implemented a policy of expelling and killing the local indigenous people, and did not have any interactions or interactions with them. In addition, with its own advanced medical and scientific technology, it dared to go deep into the inland areas to continuously expand its territory.
However, the South African colonies still had little population in the inland areas. Most of the population was concentrated in coastal towns. In the final analysis, there was still no large-scale penetration into the inland areas.
They are also afraid of various diseases in the interior of Africa.
It is very troublesome to kill a Ming Dynasty person. It is very difficult to introduce an immigrant. It will be easy to send people to the inland areas for adventure.
However, now, everyone suddenly realizes that it is impossible not to go deep into the inland areas. Except for the inland areas, there is no unoccupied land on the African continent, and most of it has been occupied.
If you want to continue to expand your land, you must develop inland.
Even though there are all kinds of diseases that make people laugh in the inland areas, we still have to expand to the inland areas, develop, and seize more land. If we don’t seize it now, we will be afraid of it in the future. There is no chance.
For a time, all the major colonies and vassal states were actively expanding into inland areas. At the same time, in order to deal with various diseases, they also vigorously supported medical research on various diseases and found ways to prevent and treat them.
