The three of them quickly thanked Liu Jin respectfully, then looked at Liu Jin and saluted, "I've met the young master~"
"Hmm~"
Liu Jin nodded with a smile on his face.
Sun Xin, Tian Erniu, and Zhao Houhou stood respectfully, feeling very excited in their hearts.
They actually had the opportunity to be personally summoned by His Highness the Crown Prince. What an honor it was.
You must know that they used to be farmers with their backs turned to the sky, and they were at the bottom of society. But now they have the chance to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, and their ancestors are smoking.
"I've called you three here this time. I have something to explain~"
Liu Jin looked at the three of them, thought for a while and said.
"Master, please give me your instructions~"
When the three of them heard this, they quickly said respectfully.
When I came here, I actually already knew about it. I must have something to explain, and that was indeed the case.
"You guys sit down first and we'll talk slowly."
Liu Jin nodded and signaled that the three of them did not need to be polite. Liu Jin also asked Xiao Huangmen to bring three stools. The three of them sat down respectfully and listened carefully.
As for Zhu Houzhao, he was still admiring the busyness of Tianjin. He never cared much about these trivial matters and just left them to Liu Jin to deal with.
"Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou, you two are about to set sail for the Golden Continent again. This time, your mission is even heavier."
Liu Jin looked at Tian Erniu and Zhao Houhou. Naturally, Tianjin Ocean Trading Company cannot be missing out on this trip to Golden Continent. Moreover, this time, Tianjin Ocean Trading Company's fleet is the largest, with hundreds of ships.
A large ship headed to Golden Continent.
Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong led the team to the Nanyang region, so they had to choose from among them. In the end, Liu Jin chose Tian Erniu and Zhao Houhou to lead the team.
The two of them have been to Golden Continent, and they are both old men under their own hands. They have trained and promoted people, so they are confident that they are qualified for this task.
"This time, when you go to Golden Continent, your most important task is to establish a colonial stronghold~"
"The first colonial base was set up in Yuxi~"
Liu Jin opened a map and circled a point on the location of Yuxi.
Tian Erniu and Zhao Houhou listened carefully. Liu Jincheng came to them to explain the matter. This matter was very important. He must listen carefully, keep it firmly in mind, and do it well.
"Yuxi is an important point on the way to Huangjin Island, and there are gold mines and many resources in Yuxi, which has great development value."
"Its only disadvantage is that it is too high-dimensional and too cold in winter, so you must take this into consideration when establishing your base."
"Next, you need to establish at least three strongholds here in Golden Island, establish a stronghold here at Qianhekou (the location of later Vancouver), establish a stronghold here in Jinwan (later San Francisco City), and the last stronghold is to be set up
Establish a stronghold here at the mouth of the Jinhe River (later in Central America)."
Liu Jin circled three places from north to south on the west coast of Huangjinzhou.
These three places are all the places Du Mingen led his team to last time, and they are also the places highlighted.
Because the locations of these three places are very important, and more importantly, there are a lot of gold and silver around these three places.
Gold and silver are definitely the most powerful driving force for Ming people to go to the Golden Continent. Without these two things, even if a stronghold is established, there is no way to attract people to go to the Golden Continent.
Of course, Liu Jin's considerations were more far-reaching.
The three locations of Qianhekou, Jinwan and Jinhekou cover the entire northern Golden Continent. In the future, the Ming Dynasty's colonization of the entire Golden Continent will continue to expand eastward from these three strongholds. In the end, it will be the same as the one on the east coast of Golden Continent.
The Europeans who established strongholds on both sides competed for hegemony over the entire Golden Continent.
The location of Qianhekou is located in Vancouver, Canada in later generations. It has a humid climate, fertile land, and a large amount of mineral resources. How can we not plan ahead for such an excellent place?
Needless to say, Golden Bay is the territory of Uncle Sam in later generations. After crossing the Rocky Mountains, you can reach the endless plains. Whether it is used for grazing or reclamation, it is the best piece of land on the earth.
As for the mouth of the Jinhe River, it is located in the middle of the Golden Continent, which was later known as Central America. It is the place with the largest production of silver and gold in the world, and is also extremely rich in animal and plant resources. You can use this as a base to continue south.
Invading the entire Southern Golden Continent.
This time, Liu Jin was not in a hurry to establish a stronghold covering the entire west coast of the Golden Continent. Next time, he could go all the way south and establish strongholds one by one along the way, and then occupy the entire west coast of the Golden Continent.
Finally, with the addition of strongholds in Australia and Southeast Asia, a colonial system surrounding the entire Pacific was formed.
"Qianhekou, Jinwan, Jinhekou~"
Tian Erniu and Zhao Houhou silently remembered these three places. They had been to these three places, so they knew the situation and location of these three places very well.
"This time when we go to Golden Continent, bring more cement with you. When building a stronghold, the stronghold doesn't need to be too big at first. A small castle will be enough. You have to choose a good location."
"It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, we need to set up gun towers, wall stacks, etc. These descendants of the Yin merchants in Huangjinzhou have strong folk customs and are unruly. Although we are actually a family, they may not really be willing to recognize it.
us."
"If we want to occupy the entire Golden Continent, we will inevitably have conflicts with them. Then there will inevitably be a long and bloody war, so we must consider this in advance."
Liu Jin explained clearly and carefully.
Liu Jin wanted to assimilate the descendants of the Yin Shang in Huangjinzhou. After all, it was very likely that they were all from the same family and had the same ancestor.
But judging from what later generations know and some of the movies we have watched, these descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty were wild horses accustomed to freedom. They did not like restraint and their folk customs were tough.
In the process of invading the Golden Continent, the Europeans fought with them again and again, and many people died. If it were not for the advanced firearms and the Yin Shang descendants themselves, they were very resistant to smallpox, cholera and other infectious diseases.
Without the ability to resist, under the invasion of Europeans, large-scale deaths occurred due to these diseases.
Otherwise, the Europeans may not be able to completely occupy the Golden Continent.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to occupy Golden Continent. On the one hand, it naturally wanted to be close to the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. On the other hand, it also wanted to be prepared. Learn from the Europeans and kill when it’s time to kill. Don’t be merciful. Otherwise, it will be great.
The Golden Continent will be handed over to the Europeans.
"Yes~"
Tian Erniu and Zhao Houhou nodded solemnly. Liu Jin's meaning was obvious. These descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties can be used, but they cannot be fully trusted. They must be prepared to break with them.
To conquer the Golden Continent, we cannot rely on Confucianism.
Such things as benevolence, righteousness and morality, understanding money as dirt, etc., these things will not work. The only way is to learn the European bandit spirit.
If you can't beat them, then rob them; if you can't beat them, then do business. If this doesn't work, that won't work either, then you'll use dirty tricks, such as using crow tablets and the like.
Anyway, it’s shameless, all it wants is money and land.
If you want to be shameless, you won't be able to carve a niche for future generations. You can only watch helplessly as others enjoy the success and success, while your own descendants plan and raise their children.
"We established a stronghold to serve our future colonial plans. Therefore, the stronghold established on the Golden Continent must find ways to purchase food from the descendants of the Yin Shang. In addition, we must also reclaim land and grow food on the Golden Continent."
"You can make a promise to everyone, so everyone who participates in establishing the stronghold can get one thousand acres of land on the Golden Continent unconditionally."
Liu Jin thought for a while and said again.
If a colony wants to survive, it ultimately needs people. If it wants to attract people there, gold, silver, and land are all indispensable.
Liu Jin once again showed his ability to draw big cakes. Anyway, this land is also in the Golden Continent. In the past, you could get a thousand acres of land, as long as you can fool people there. As for the future, if people go to the Golden Continent,
Then it was successful.
Anyway, the land here in Huangjinzhou is fertile, and there is a lot of gold, silver, etc. Liu Jin believes that as long as the people of the Ming Dynasty immigrated there, they will never want to come back.
The first group of people to be attracted are those who go to gold prospecting. After they taste the sweetness, they will continue to bring their families, relatives and friends there.
If you want them to settle down in Huangjinzhou with peace of mind, it doesn't matter if you give them a little more land. It's better to fool them or not. Let's fool them first.
"A thousand acres of land~"
When Sun Xin, Tian Erniu and Zhao Houhou heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes slightly. The area of one thousand acres of land is very large. As long as they participate in the establishment of a stronghold, they can get 1,000 acres.
With acres of land, such good things can be done.
"You're fooling people again~"
"Old Liu's ability to deceive people is truly amazing~"
Only Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
The world outside the Ming Dynasty is very big, and even before it was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin used it to deceive people. This level of shamelessness is really admirable.
"But it's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie. If the Golden Continent can be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, that's okay."
Then Zhu Houzhao looked at the extremely prosperous Tianjin in front of him. A few years ago, this place was still a deserted land. At that time, he was deceived by Liu Jin to come here.
A lot of money was thrown down, and a prosperous Tianjin was created. The money invested was recovered a hundred times or a thousand times.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but want to go to Huanghuangzhou to have a look.
