Following Zuo Mengeng, Fu Xinyuan has seen a huge amount of wealth.
Although these wealth are presented in digital form, they are enough to broaden his horizons.
Even so, he was still shocked when he heard that there was a place full of gold.
So the new governor of Alaska Province, after traveling thousands of miles to take office, immediately set off southward before his butt was still hot.
When General Wu heard about this, he immediately realized that it was of great importance and personally led his fleet to go together.
Wu will come to the New World this time. In addition to transporting supplies, he will also stay here permanently.
The empire's expansion and exploration in the New World continued southward, and finally began to come into direct conflict with the Spanish colonists.
Realizing the deterioration of the situation, the Northern Military Region decided after research that a squadron of the North Sea Fleet, led by General Wu, would be stationed in the New World for a long time from now on to cooperate with the development operations.
Even though it is just a squadron, General Wu has seven third-level battleships, ten fourth-level battleships, and more than 30 other auxiliary ships under his command.
Such a huge maritime force is enough to ensure the safety of the sea in Alaska.
It is not impossible to compete with Spain's Viceroyalty of New Spain.
In addition, the Northern Military Region has successively dispatched two additional security divisions to the New World for more than a year. This brings the armed forces on land to 35,000 people.

In addition to the expedition team that dares to come to the New World, who is not a fierce fighter?
If a war really breaks out, the province of Alaska alone can mobilize more than 50,000 troops.
As they learned more and more about Spain, the Center simply did not believe that Spain could muster enough power to compete in the New World.
The next question is not what to do in the face of the Spanish threat, but whether Spain can defend its territory in the New World.
The huge fleet set off from Xinhua City and headed south, while General Wu briefed Fu Xinyuan on the situation.
"The place discovered by the expedition team is in an excellent harbor. The harbor is surrounded by mountains and has sufficient water depth, making it a natural harbor. The North Sea Fleet plans to build a new base there as a supply point to continue southward. According to the expedition The team reports that after entering the harbor, there is a Danshui River with abundant water and a large number of wetlands, making it a very good settlement. I suggest that you increase investment there, which can also help our military progress."
Fu Xinyuan listened carefully.
"If that place is really full of gold, it will probably be able to gather a large number of people without any effort from the government."
General Wu has the same view on this.
"The expedition team clashed with the Spaniards there many times, with victories and defeats, but finally gained a firm foothold. This time our military went there to expel the Spaniards. I estimate that within three to five months at most, the Spanish People will definitely invade in a big way. As long as we win, the entire west coast will be in our hands."
In the distant New World, military and political affairs must work closely together.
"Don't worry, I will dispatch elite troops and strong generals next, and I will not delay your military's actions."
After receiving the assurance from the political circles, General Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief and was confident in his next actions.
Suddenly it dawned on him.
Why did Zuo Mengeng bypass so many important ministers and send Fu Xinyuan to distant Alaska to serve as provincial governor.
As the person closest to Zuo Menggeng, Fu Xinyuan has been exposed to it all these years and must have fully understood Zuo Menggeng's pioneering and enterprising spirit.
Only such people will fully support the military and development.
Going south from Xinhua City, the sea road was long and it took seven days before the group finally arrived at the bay.
But as soon as he arrived, Fu Xinyuan keenly sensed something was wrong.
"Why is it so warm here?"
It was clear that winter was coming, but the place where they were was as warm as spring and the climate was very pleasant.
The land around the bay is lush and green, which is a joy to see.
"The climate here is a little weird. It's not hot in summer and not cold in winter. On the contrary, you can plant it all year round. It's really a holy land on earth."
For the Chinese nation, a place that can be cultivated all year round is a holy land on earth.
Hearing this, Fu Xinyuan became more determined to take this place as his own.
At the southern end of the deep bay, everyone came ashore.
It's already very lively here, and you can see the various buildings scattered across the past. All you can see are Han people running back and forth.
Without exception, everyone here is carrying weapons and has unruly eyes.
As an explorer, you are dealing with danger all the time, which is something an honest person cannot do.
General Wu led Fu Xinyuan all the way to the core area, and soon met an acquaintance.
"Oh, Uncle Zhang Qi, I haven't heard from you for a long time. It turns out you came here."
An old man clicked his pipe and pot, and was not flattered by Fu Xinyuan's greetings.
"They all like to live peacefully, but I am impatient. I heard that there are all new things here, so I ran over here."
He didn't take the former emperor's chief secretary and the current provincial affairs minister seriously, he just thought that the old man's status was extraordinary.
Zhang Qi, one of the former Shandong green forest bandits.
After joining Li Qingshan and others, he followed Zuo Gui to deal with Jianghu affairs.
However, the empire's rule is becoming more and more stable, and other political methods are becoming more and more perfect, and these old people like them are of little use.
Li Qingshan is now making a boom in the aquatic products business in Dongping Lake, Weishan Lake and other places, and is now a wealthy man with peace of mind.
Zhang Qi, however, preferred a life of wandering in the world, so he formed an expedition team of his own and went to explore the North American continent.
"How is your Majesty?"
"Everything is going well in the country. Now the unification war has begun, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been defeated by us. It is estimated that it won't take long for Liaodong to be recovered."
"Oh my God, this is great. I can live peacefully from now on."
"The Tatars must be driven out and killed to cause harm to others."
Most of the people here are from Shandong, and they are deeply aware of the harm caused by the Tatars. Everyone is happy to hear that there is hope for the recovery of Liaodong.
"Uncle Qi, I heard that gold was found here?"
Zhang Qi knew why he came and didn't hide it.
"Just follow this river and you can find gold anytime and anywhere."
While talking, Zhang Qi also pulled a small bowl. The light in the small bowl was dazzling, and it was filled with golden sand.
Fu Xinyuan finally got the accurate news and was really happy.
“Is there any difficulty in panning for gold?”
Zhang Qi pointed to the mist-shrouded valley in the distance and said: "The natives there are not very friendly. They come out to cause trouble every now and then. Because of the strict order, the big guys don't dare to really hurt people, which is quite a headache."
General Wu hurriedly said: "Leave the indigenous issues to us and ensure they are resolved smoothly."
When they heard that the military was about to take action, all the explorers smiled.
They decided to set off immediately to the upper reaches of the river. As long as you can find more gold, you will be rich.
