Another year has passed.
Zhu Zhanji was waiting eagerly on the pier with Yang Pu and others.
More than a year has passed. Counting the time, the Queen Mother and the others should be back, right?
This time the Queen Mother returned to the Ming Dynasty with the fleet, but she went with a mission!
Whether it is population or craftsmen, these are things Zhu Zhanji and his North American Ming Dynasty urgently need.
Because the current Ming Dynasty in North America cannot even be a country, it is just a grassroots team. Everything is still in the process of being created. Except for the problem of food and clothing, all other daily necessities are in short supply, especially cloth.
On this North American continent, the silk and linen commonly used in the Central Plains have not yet been found. Instead, there are some new things. If you want to change it from hemp to silk, you will undoubtedly need to go through a long period of improvement and innovation.
As a result, most people in the Ming Dynasty in North America were wearing tattered clothes. These were the old clothes when they landed in North America, and they had long been worn out after so many years.
Even His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Zhanji was wearing the same clothes as before, not even a dragon robe.
One can imagine how miserable they are now.
There is nothing we can do about this.
The local indigenous people don't wear clothes at all, they just wrap a layer of animal skin to cover some shameful parts.
This resulted in that even if the Han people surrendered to them, the cultural gap between the two sides was so great that there was no possibility of unification and integration.
The history and culture of the indigenous people of North America are of no use to the Ming Dynasty in North America.
On the contrary, after the Ming Dynasty in North America surrendered these indigenous tribes, there were still rebellions among the indigenous tribes from time to time. Even if the indigenous people were captured to work as serfs, they had to be supervised by manpower, otherwise these indigenous people would be lazy and slippery, or take the opportunity to escape.
All in all, the North American Ming Dynasty is currently facing many difficulties, which seriously restricts the development of the dynasty.
This is also the real reason why Zhu Zhanji asked Queen Mother Zhang to return to the Central Plains with the fleet to the Ming Dynasty.
After all, she is one of her own. My daughter-in-law is back. Grandpa Huang will probably agree to my request, right?
As long as the Queen Mother can bring back a group of people, materials, and even advanced technology from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty in North America can continue to develop.
"Mr. Yang, do you think the queen can succeed?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Queen Mother will definitely succeed!"
"Oh? Why is Mr. Yang so confident?"
Zhu Zhanji turned to look at Yang Pu and asked curiously.
Yang Pu smiled and gave his answer.
"First of all, Emperor Yongle liked Empress Dowager Zhang very much and always regarded her as his own, so Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely gain something from her return."
"Secondly, Emperor Yongle has always been very fond of His Majesty. Even though we had failed when we fought for the throne, Emperor Yongle still gave His Majesty a way to survive, and also recruited 50,000 soldiers to come to North America with His Majesty. Open up new territories!”
"The friendship between Emperor Yongle and His Majesty is extraordinary, so I believe the Queen Mother will bring a surprise!"
In order to distinguish the two emperors Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, Yang Pu could only respectfully call Zhu Di Emperor Yongle.
After all, he is now the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty in North America, and there is only one monarch who is truly loyal to him, and that is Zhu Zhanji, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in North America.
After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji not only did not feel happy at all, but his face was full of sentimentality.
Yang Pu's words undoubtedly touched his heartstrings.
Grandpa Huang was always very kind to him, Zhu Zhanji.
But he, Zhu Zhanji, doesn’t live up to his expectations!
Although he was already the grandson of the emperor, he still focused on fighting with his second uncle. As a result, he angered the emperor's grandpa in vain and was eventually sent to this wild land.
But regrets are regrets, and Zhu Zhanji quickly recovered his emotions.
Although North America is a wild land, it is precisely because of this that everything needs to be built and created by yourself!
Zhu Zhanji enjoys this entrepreneurial process of overcoming obstacles and obstacles, which is even more exciting than fighting bloody battles on the battlefield.
But the only problem is that this barbaric land is too backward, and many technologies are not in place, which seriously restricts the development of the dynasty.
While the monarch and his ministers were chatting, the defenders on the dock spotted the ships on the sea and immediately sounded the alarm.
"came back!"
"The fleet is back!"
For a time, everyone was happy.
For the soldiers and civilians, the successful return of the fleet means that they have successfully mastered the charts and routes for returning from North America to the Central Plains!
Maybe they will also hope to return to the Central Plains and their ancestral land in the future!
I have to admit, this is exciting news!
After all, the Central Plains is their ancestral homeland!
Moreover, the successful voyage of this fleet also means that the Ming Dynasty of North America and the Ming Dynasty of Central Plains have officially established contact.
This group of people is no longer the poor people who were abandoned to the wilderness, but the pioneers who opened up the territory for the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains!
As long as the two major civilizations establish contact, future exchanges will naturally be inevitable, which is extremely beneficial to the development of the Ming Dynasty in North America!
In this way, upon seeing the fleet, bursts of joy and laughter rang out on the pier.
Looking at the cheering people and soldiers, Zhu Zhanji was also filled with emotions.
"It's not easy!"
"Xiang Yang, we really did it!"
In three to five years, he, Zhu Zhanji, came to this wild land, established the Ming Dynasty in North America, and officially established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains!
This is a great moment worthy of being remembered by history!
Yang Pu joked with a smile: "It's a pity that there is no historian in our dynasty, otherwise I would have written a special book at this moment and left a lasting mark!"
"Well, it doesn't matter." Zhu Zhanji ordered domineeringly, "Let Prime Minister Yang serve as historian concurrently. We can start writing history books for our dynasty."
When Yang Pu heard this, he was immediately stunned.
"Your Majesty, this... minister already wears many hats!"
Yang Pu was not only the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty in North America, but also held many positions.
For example, in the Ministry of Personnel, the dynasty was a grassroots team after all, so many officials were selected and recommended by Yang Pu.
For example, as the Minister of Household Affairs, money and food were the foundation of the dynasty. Previously, Zhu Zhanji led the troops to destroy and subjugate the barbarian tribes, and the rear supply camp was handed over to Yang Pu, who took charge of all money and food.
For example, as the Minister of Rites, after the Ming Dynasty was officially established in North America, Yang Pu did not forget to formulate the patriarchal etiquette system, and selected literati to open Confucian colleges to spread Confucian ideas and teach children.
For example, the Minister of War, Zhu Zhanji, often asked Yang Pu to provide combat strategies after fighting in the war, and the mobilization of the army also required Yang Pu's cooperation in planning.
For example, the Minister of Justice...
It can be said that the North American Ming Dynasty can be without anyone, but Yang Pu cannot be without it.
God knows what Yang Pu has been through in these years, but his temples are a little gray anyway.
"Prime Minister Yang, don't be humble. Those who are capable should work harder!"
"The only person I can rely on now is Prime Minister Yang!"
After hearing this, Yang Pu felt warm in his heart, and immediately took over the job with a pat on his chest.
Soon the fleet docked, and Zhu Zhanji personally led people to greet them.
Queen Mother Zhang burst into tears when she saw her beloved son.
However, she did not forget the important matter, but reminded her in a low voice.
"Zhan Ji, the imperial court has sent a diplomatic ambassador, so be sure to treat him with caution!"
Ambassador?
Zhu Zhanji and Yang Pu looked at each other, and both saw the horror in the other's eyes.
They seem to have oversimplified the problem. The Ming Dynasty of Central Plains really wants to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty of North America!
Everyone looked up and saw the diplomatic ambassador walking onto the pier Shiranly.
The next moment, Yang Pu and Zhu Zhanji were dumbfounded!
Damn it!
Ambassador?
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui?
"Hey, nephew, you're welcome and safe!"
