March 20th is the vernal equinox. It is suitable for traveling, offering sacrifices, marching, moving, and setting up beds.
The extremely large Rohan "caravan" all raised its sails and began its long journey.
The "Morning Star", the flagship of the king of the Kingdom of Rohan, cut through the wind and waves and headed south.
The fleet must find the warm Pacific current north of the equator and then turn west.
When the unprecedented fleet passed the coast of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, the entire sea was calm without a single wave.
Not to mention approaching for reconnaissance, even the fishing boats want to grow legs and run back to land.
It is said that on the same day, the local governor wrote a letter to his European country, requesting to return home to report on his duties.
On the seventh day of sailing, the fleet found the warm current that was a hundred kilometers wide.
After turning westward, the sailing speed accelerated.
Any islands discovered along the way were erected with monuments and flags and registered. They became the territory of Rohan.
If conditions permit, people will be retained to build settlements.
After sailing for more than forty days, the fleet discovered a volcanic archipelago, which is composed of 8 large islands and more than 100 small islands. The climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful.
The fleet was repaired and replenished here.
Yin Lisabai fell in love with this place at first sight! She said it was like a string of pearls scattered on the Pacific Ocean. She pestered Lin En to act coquettishly and insisted on naming this archipelago.
Lin En agreed to her indifferently, and after thinking hard for three days, she named it Hawaii!
Seven days later, after leaving a group of ships to build settlements, the fleet continued sailing.
After more than a hundred days of sailing, the fleet once again found a large island, but what was important was not this, but that it found a continent on the other side of the south side of the big island!
A rat as big as a human was found on the mainland! It can actually jump up and attack humans.
Yin Lisabai turned pale with fright, shook her head and refused to get off the boat!
Linn named the place Australia and moved on.
After passing through a series of islands and sailing for five months, the huge fleet turned north along the warm current.
Arriving at a large island, the accompanying staff excitedly reported to Linn that they had arrived!
Here is the treasure island hanging outside the mainland - Frog Island!
Now it is occupied by a group of pirates named Zheng.
Lin En occupied this place without hesitation and suppressed all opposition forces.
He planned to build this place into a bridgehead to gather people coming from the other side. When the fleet comes again in the future, they can all board the ship directly here.
This can greatly save time and improve efficiency.
After solving the problem here, the fleet was filled with people who were willing to follow, and continued northward to Fuso.
For some reason, Lisa Bai Yin always felt that Lin En had lost all her previous leisure these days, and she looked particularly excited, with both eyes shining!
He summoned local people from all walks of life several times to understand the current situation in Fuso.
They learned from them that at this time, the Fuso and Tokugawa families established the shogunate in Edo and unified the country for nearly a hundred years.
The ruler of the shogunate is named "Shogun". He manages the most land in the country. Other areas are divided into more than two hundred "vassals", large and small. The feudal lord is called "Daimyo" and takes orders from the general.
The Tokugawa family unified the country, and after the war ended, Fuso entered a period of stable development. The society was stable and the population began to increase.
The original ten million people surged to more than 20 million in just one hundred years. Lin En learned from history that in another hundred years, the population here will become more than 36 million.
The shogun of this generation is the eighth "shogun" of the Tokugawa family, so he is named Tokugawa Yoshihachi.
Because of the stabilization of rice prices, Fuso's population increased on a large scale, and it was known as the ancestor of the Tokugawa family's resurgence.
On September 18th, off the coast of Fuso, a "white cloud" floated over the "black tide" that nourished this land.
These "white clouds" are countless sails floating on the sea, covering the sky and the sun.
The giant ship that the Fuso people had never seen before was like a "mountain range" pressing down from the sea. Countless dark and deep muzzles began to spit out tongues of fire!
The sound of "rumbling" thunder echoed across the sky.
The firing of thousands of artillery pieces is enough to destroy all buildings in sight.
The massive bombing began as soon as we entered Fuso.
There was no communication or negotiation. The fleet started bombing from Fuso "Kyushu Island", passed "Shikoku Island" and "Shizuoka", and headed all the way to Edo Bay.
Fifteen days later, when the Dan fleet rushed into Edo Bay.
The contemporary shogun Tokugawa Yoshihachi has already led the most elite samurai of the Tokugawa family, as well as more than half of the daimyo who brought the "Kinou" army, and formed a battle formation, waiting for a decisive battle with the invading enemy.
Edo is the foundation of the Tokugawa family. It is the center of Fuso. There must be no room for loss!
To this end, he urgently summoned all nearby daimyo and ordered them to come with all their warriors.
Although the enemy's artillery is as irresistible as the power of heaven, the artillery cannot go ashore. A decisive battle on land will definitely win.
This was the result of discussions between Tokugawa Yoshihachi and many staff.
But when the samurai brandished their long Japanese swords and rushed towards the enemy formation that had just come ashore and was not yet neatly arrayed.
The result was not a more complete defeat.
Under the cover of artillery fire, Rohan's soldiers quickly annihilated the enemy.
The body cannot withstand guns no matter what.
When there is a generational gap in weapons and tactics, the advantage in numbers is just a beautiful bubble that will shatter at the touch of a touch.
The more soldiers gathered, they fired alternately and steadily, advancing layer by layer.
But when tens of thousands of Rohan soldiers rushed into Edo City, everything was a foregone conclusion.
Most of the Tokugawa family's samurai were wiped out, and their strength was greatly reduced.
The remaining daimyo fled in all directions.
When the contemporary general Tokugawa Yoshihachi was pressed down by soldiers and knelt down in front of Lin En.
He finally revealed his identity.
"We are here to do business!"
Of course, he brought hundreds of warships to do business.
"Your Majesty, the King of Heaven, please give me your orders. The Tokugawa family will do their best."
Tokugawa asked without raising his head as he knelt on the ground.
"Population, I want population!"
Lin En's words made Tokugawa let out a long breath.
Fuso has nothing but a lot of people. If those damn untouchables can be exchanged for the Tokugawa family to continue to rule, that would be their honor!
Tokugawa Yoshihachi kowtowed his head to the ground to express his obedience.
Ten days later, the two countries signed the agreement.
The agreement stipulates that Fuso officially regards the Kingdom of Rohan as its suzerainty.
Fuso ceded Shikoku Island to Rohan.
Fusang will compensate Rohan 200 million taels of silver and pay it back in twenty years.
Rohan holds the rights to mine mineral deposits in Fuso.
Tokugawa broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the agreement. This was like selling the entire Fuso!
Whoever signs will be the sinner of history.
After consulting Lin En, Tokugawa captured the emperor who was still in Kyoto and signed the agreement.
The emperor during this period was just a decoration, he was already skinny and skinny from hunger, and his spirit was listless.
Lin En treated him to a piece of grilled fish, and he immediately thought it was "a delicacy in the world" and asked to put away the remaining fish bones, hoping to save them for making soup and rice at the next meal (true story).
