Qiming 1158

Chapter 1453 Su Yonglin is very special
When it comes to things like gold, silver, copper and iron, Lin Jingchun can always burst out with incomparably powerful action.

When it comes to these precious metals, his whole person is the image of a miser who goes all out to grab money at home, completely unlike his usual calm, restrained, and wise.

However, when encountering gold mines and copper mines of this level, they are basically like things without owners, and it is difficult for Su Yonglin to control his emotions.

Minerals are equal to wealth, and having more minerals that can be mined for a long time is of great significance to Daming.

He didn't know at the beginning that there was no formal regime on Luzon, and he didn't know much about the history of Southeast Asia in this era, thinking that there might be some regimes in these places.

But now he knows that in this era, these places are truly [Borderlands], and whoever claims it first will belong to it, and there is no reason to say it.

This will not only help Daming obtain a large number of gold and copper mines, but also help Daming directly develop overseas settlements. When the time comes, immigrating to the past and directly assimilating the local area into Daming territory is also a good choice.

But the most important thing at the moment is the minerals, discover the minerals, get the minerals, set up mining workshops, mine all the gold and copper mines, and then turn them into heavy gold and copper coins.

Although American silver is temporarily unavailable, using gold and silver from Luzon and Japan as a substitute can barely launch a less-than-perfect currency reform.

In addition, the large copper mines on Luzon Island can also provide important mineral support for the copper-deficient Ming Dynasty, and the large amount of copper resources needed to break through science and technology in the future will also have a source.

Su Yonglin announced the news, causing a heated discussion both inside and outside the court. Officials discussed the gold and copper mines discovered on Liuqiu Island and Luzon Island, and then praised Su Yonglin's foresight and perseverance. .

When the Beiyang and Nanyang route exploration plan was launched before, there was no small voice in the court and the public. Many people thought that it would not be profitable to do so, and it was just a waste of money.

In addition, at that time, the Yellow River Project had not been completely completed. It was Su Yonglin who insisted on pushing this matter forward, and finally achieved the realization of the plan.

And now, the plan gave him plenty of feedback.

Those inside and outside the court and the public who once raised objections and did not support it finally shut up and no longer make any comments against the ocean exploration plan.

Sure enough, in the face of real interests, human reason will still return.

So Su Yonglin heaved a sigh of relief.

The Nanyang Expedition Fleet has already made real profits, and the huge expenditure has seen the possibility of return, but the Beiyang Expedition Fleet has not yet reported any news of the discovery of any valuable minerals.

As far as Su Yonglin knew of the news, the news sent back by the Beiyang Expedition Fleet was all about [Cold].

It is very cold. After crossing Sakhalin and continuing to the northeast, in addition to being cold and still cold, there are snow fields and large virgin forests. Many large and small wild animals can be seen on land, and many fish can be caught in the sea, but there is no shortage of food. .

However, all the way to the north, there is almost no people in sight. According to Su Yonglin's world map, it will take some time to cross the legendary strait and reach the mainland on the other side of the sea. As for whether it is possible to discover human settlements, it may take more time.

Then they hope to get more cold-proof materials, and they need enough patience from the court.

This is also a helpless thing.

Because from Sakhalin all the way to the northeast, they can see the snowfields and ice fields that are inaccessible, and it is difficult to find human settlements. Unless they cross the Bering Strait to North America, they can try their luck and see if they can meet them. Inuit.

The Inuit seem to look quite similar to the Chinese. Su Yonglin even believes that they may have migrated from the Central Plains thousands of years ago or 1 years ago.

If you can find them, you can start a mutual trade with them, build a supply station in their settlement, and give the Beiyang fleet a little comfort in life.

However, in order to truly discover valuable existence, I am afraid that the Beiyang fleet still needs to go through some twists and turns and endure a long period of severe cold before finally reaching the North American continent and obtaining gold and silver.

But no matter what, Su Yonglin's reputation continued to improve.

Whether it's the theater troupe or the ocean-going expedition fleet, he pushed it all against the odds.

At the beginning, there were always many people who objected. They used various reasons to question Su Yonglin's motives and follow-up actions.

However, the development of things always slapped their faces mercilessly, making their faces swollen.

Su Yonglin is always right and has hardly made any mistakes.

Facing the fact that Daming is getting stronger and stronger and any action will bring benefits, the doubts and opposition to Su Yonglin are getting smaller and smaller.

More and more people seem to have recognized from the bottom of their hearts that Su Yonglin's existence is very special.

He is a person, but not entirely a person, as if the gods from heaven descended into the world, bringing everyone a happy life, sufficient supplies, and even glory.

In the face of such a Su Yonglin, let alone the young people who were very longing for him, even the old people in Jiangnan who were very dissatisfied with him were impressed by his far-reaching knowledge and firm will.

They didn't like Su Yonglin's rigidity and persistence, but they all admired Su Yonglin's precise vision and decision-making.

So even if they were unhappy, even if they wanted to do something, they never thought of shaking Su Yonglin's top position.

Against such a background, when Su Yonglin announced at the military conference held in August that he was preparing to fight against the Western Liaoning Province, Lin Jingchun, who had always been the least willing to support the pioneering war, did not say anything, and directly acquiesced to the fact that this war would inevitably take place. .

It's not that Su Yonglin started using troops without any reason at all.

According to the news sent back by a group of Skynet Army spies who had escorted Huta and Alan back to the country of Khwarizimo and by the way infiltrated the interior of Xiliao, the heroine of Xiliao Yelu Pusuwan was preparing to use troops against the country of Khwarizimo.

The specific conflict between the two countries seems to have arisen because of the conflict between a disobedient ethnic group living in the territory of Xiliao and Xiliao, and the king of Khwarizmo tried to use this as an excuse to get rid of the control of Xiliao, no longer. Offering offerings to Xiliao, this caused great dissatisfaction with Yelu Pusuwan.

Although Yelu Pusuwan is a woman, according to the spies living in Xiliao, Yelu Pusuwan is a very strong female emperor, and she can always hear descriptions of her strong image in the mouths of the people and dignitaries. People are generally afraid of her.

This reminds Su Yonglin of Wu Zetian in Tang Dynasty.

In such a deeply and unshakable patriarchal society, it is not as difficult for a woman to become the supreme ruler as it seems. If you want a group of men to bow their heads and obey, you have to be a little out of the ordinary.

Yelu Pusuwan obviously has something special, that is her strength.

She must be more powerful than the male ruler, and more male than the man, in order to gain the minimum respect and convincing, and on this basis, she must continue to obtain military victories and various achievements, so that she can sit firmly on the throne of the ruler.

In Yelu Pusuwan's view, the fact that Khwarizimo country wants to get rid of the control of Xiliao is not that Khwarizimo country wants to fight for independence, but that Khwarizimo country wants her life.

Everyone has put the knife to the neck. If Yelu Pusuwan doesn't do anything major, he must end the mission of the ruler early?

So it's not surprising that Yelu Pusuwan would have such a reaction.
