"Recovering Yinzhou and saving the Indians is a matter of contemporary merit and eternal benefit. It is related to the century-old national destiny of Daqi, and there is no room for failure! In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Daqi's failure in Australia and Japan, I order that from now on , all yamen must prepare carefully and fully support the cause of the pioneering regiment. Team selection and training, ocean-going ships, dog sleds, family planning, route planning...everything is too detailed, and no one can be left behind. This matter is coordinated by the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Chamber of Commerce and the provinces are fully cooperating. The deadline is half a year. Before the end of this year, I want to see the first batch of development teams set sail."
In the summer of the fourth year of Taichu, Emperor Wu Ding made the final decision and finalized the ambitious plan to regain Yinzhou.
The empire's main energy is still concentrated within the customs. Large-scale overseas operations can only be regarded as an idea at present, staying in the meeting minutes of the General Staff and impossible to implement. However, the preliminary survey and enclosure operations must be carried out immediately. Get up, because the European bandits have already arrived first.
According to the colonization plan formulated by the Supreme Emperor himself, from sending people to sea to finally immigrating to Yinzhou, it takes about three steps and is expected to take twenty years.
The first step is to enclose your own territory.
Two expeditions of one hundred people were sent to the west coast of America, over the mountains and seas, and into the central and eastern plains suitable for farming. They announced to the Europeans that Yinzhou has been an integral part of Daqi since ancient times. Anyone who tries to get involved in this land Countries are all enemies of the empire, and establishing a colony here is tantamount to going to war with Daqi.
Establish good relations with the Indian chiefs, support the Indian forces, unite with Spain and other old colonial empires to fight against the British and French, divide and disintegrate the Europeans, unite the small ones and attack the large ones, until in the end, all the colonists are expelled from Yinzhou.
The second step is to change fertility
By changing the fertility policy, the overflow population from Daqi will continue to immigrate to Yinzhou.
The third step is faith reform.
Use Zhenwu God to replace the Yinzhou people's native belief in shaman, build Mencius College near the Indian tribes, and assimilate their ethnic groups in a step-by-step manner.
······
Of course, putting it into practice will be much more complicated and cannot be accomplished overnight.
Time waits for no one. The British expansion in Yinzhou was too unscrupulous and they must pay the price.
The rich and beautiful Fudge Province (Virginia) on the east coast of Yinzhou was the first colony that the British invaded and occupied Daqi.
According to Liu Zhaosun's memory, as early as 1587, Queen Elizabeth I of England gave a "Land Authorization Letter", also known as the "Land Deed", to Sir Walter Raleigh, asking him to establish a "British Empire" in North America (Yinzhou). s country".
This routine was quite popular in Europe at the time. The kings of Spain, Portugal and France basically did this.
Britain will be Da Qi's most troublesome opponent in Yinzhou.
From 1607 to 1632 (the first year of Taichu), British immigrants established 16 colonies on the Atlantic coast.
Among them, Virginia in the east was the core of British power in Yinzhou.
While Emperor Wu Ding was dominating East Asia, there was a small climax of immigration from the British mainland to New England.
Most of the immigrants were forced to join the adventure of immigrating to New England because of bankruptcy or poor family circumstances.
A large number of immigrants moved to Massachusetts, and these immigrants lived in relatively concentrated areas, eventually forming a seaport city - Boston.
With the increasing number of new immigrants, Massachusetts and Boston have developed greatly, and they have quickly become the economic and political center of New England.
Immigrants established colonies such as Maryland, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
By this year, that is, 1635 (the fourth year of the Christian era), Massachusetts and the newly established colony of Connecticut had begun negotiations on the union of the two parties, but due to the great differences between the two parties, the union failed to succeed.
The colonies became independent, and due to the lack of communication and communication between them, almost every colony had survival problems.
Against the background of intensifying conflicts in various colonies and changes in the domestic situation in Britain, the leaders of each colony gradually realized that only by uniting can they solve these current difficulties.
Of course, due to the intervention of time travellers, it is impossible to establish an alliance.
Weakness is not an obstacle to survival, arrogance is, but Europeans are so arrogant.
The Europeans have not thought about whether they are qualified to receive this land.
They could ignore the feelings of the Indians, but they had to pay attention to the feelings of the Emperor of Qi.
Ignorance and arrogance are the roots of tragedy.
In the summer of the fourth year of Taichu, Emperor Wu Ding issued an edict, ordering Sun Chuanting and Ma Shiying to recommend one person each to serve as the chief and deputy general of the Yinzhou recovery operation and to obey the dispatch of the supervisory army.
Regarding the various benefits of going to Yinzhou, the training officers have talked about it countless times, such as land allocation, promotion of officers and titles, and the court will give every warrior who goes to the other side of the ocean ten times the military salary, and at the same time provide effective "protection" to the families of the soldiers. .
In this way, everyone is not very opposed to the expedition.
Navigation route.
All the way along Sakhalin Island, go north by land to the Bering Strait in the northeast corner of Eurasia. Wait until it freezes in winter (of course the probability is unlikely), cross the Bering Strait, and land in Yinzhou; the other way is through southern Japan, with the help of the Japan Warm Current , the North Atlantic Warm Current, crosses the Pacific Ocean, goes south along the California Cold Current, and reaches southern Yinzhou. Of course, no matter which one you choose, you will basically have a narrow escape.
The first route is getting colder and colder as we go northeast. Even if we are lucky enough not to freeze to death, after landing in Yinzhou, we will encounter either desert or the towering Rocky Mountains, which are deserted and only vultures are circling overhead. When Mr. De goes, he will starve to death; when Mr. Bei comes, he will shed tears. However, since it is an expedition, I believe that the team members are ready to sacrifice their lives for the country, and casualties are inevitable.
The sea route is even more unreliable. The fleet sets out from southern China, passes through the Ryukyu area, follows the ocean currents, crosses the Pacific, and arrives in western Yinzhou. It sounds like a trip around the world, but there is no transit station, no fresh fruits, and no food supplies. , in a mortal body, it is basically unable to support the other side of the ocean. Europeans have proven that survival rates are low by taking this route.
However, now with the blessing of navigation skills provided by missionaries and more mature navigation charts, the team members will not be blinded, and it will be an adventure.
Putting aside these, the most important thing is the leader of the pioneering team.
After fierce competition between all parties, the list of candidates was finally released.
Sun Chuanting recommended Li Dingguo, commander of the first battalion of the Seventh Corps;
His mortal enemy Ma Shiying was as good as the enemy and recommended a battalion officer named Sun Kewang.
Others recommended Jiang Liuer and Li Zicheng.
Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang had always had conflicts and were very difficult to deal with.
Both were student soldiers from Kaiyuan Academy. After five years of compulsory education and brainwashing, they were transferred directly from school to the Imperial Guard. They were also brainwashed by Senti for two years. They highly recognized totalitarianism and were loyal to the Emperor.
However, Emperor Wu Ding was still a little dissatisfied with these two people and was still considering it. Li Dingguo was only seventeen years old and Sun Kewang was even younger, so it might be difficult to convince the public.
Chambers of commerce, workshops, hospitals, and schools also sent people as technical personnel to accompany the pioneering team.
Two young eunuchs were appointed to supervise the army. They were in Yinzhou. They had just got off the cargo ship. When something urgent happened, they were killed first and reported later.
In this way, the personnel structure of the Yinzhou Development Group was basically completed.
