Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 814 The four kings ruled America, and the empress became pregnant as she wished

In the ninth year of Zhaowu, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, four vassal kings and an immigrant fleet from the imperial court to open up the Americas set off from Wusong Port, Suzhou Prefecture.

This time, in order to protect the immigrant fleet, the Ming court dispatched the first fleet of the Dongyang Navy, led by Yan Yingyuan, the admiral of the Dongyang Navy.

The American Ocean Exploration Squadron that had traveled this sea route before was also among them, and Shi Lang was still the commander of the squadron.

In other words, Daming sent a naval force of a town plus a reinforced battalion.

The immigrant fleet of the four vassal kings is also far more than the previous vassal kings who have lived overseas.

The rumors from the outside world are not groundless. In order to express her intention to encourage the development of America, Zhu Wei not only invested 300 million taels in each of Wangling and Yongwangling, but also invested 100 million taels in Shuwangling.Even Gui Wangling also followed suit and received 50 taels of investment from Aimee Zhu.

Therefore, the respective pro-armies of King Ding and King Yong recruited 3000 people—both a navy of 500 people and an army of 500 people.

The King of Shu also recruited 1000 pro-armies, [-] sailors, and [-] troops.

King Gui only recruited 800 pro-armies, only 300 in the navy, and [-] in the army.

As for immigrants, King Ding and King Yong each recruited 3 people, King Shu recruited [-], and King Gui also recruited [-].

Recruiting so many immigrants at one time was not only because of the strong capital of these four feudal lords, but also because of the long distance to America.

Based on the currently opened North Pacific waterway, it would take a year at the fastest to make a round trip.

In fact, only the first half of each year is suitable for departure from Daming, plus other delays during the voyage, when the fleet rests and replenishes in Daming and the Americas, it may take two years to complete a round-trip voyage.

So the four vassal kings, like the seven kings who went to Yingzhou to become a vassal, tried their best to recruit more immigrants for the first time.

As for the place of the vassal, Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong chose the later Los Angeles.

Although the Spaniards arrived in Los Angeles as early as 1542 and unilaterally declared that the place belonged to Spain, they did not establish a colonial stronghold here to stay there.

It was not until 1781 that the Spaniards established a stronghold in Los Angeles, making it a Spanish colony.

Previously, the American Ocean Exploration Squadron led by Shi Lang had reached here as far as possible and established a landing point there.

In fact, Aimee Zhu did not want Zhu Cijiong to choose Los Angeles as the domain of the vassal king, because it is very close to the Spanish colonies in the south, and it is easy to encounter the Spanish colonists and start a war with them.

Although Auntie Zhu has confidence in Zhu Cijiong's pro-military combat effectiveness, as a sister, she does not want Zhu Cijiong to be in any danger.

But Zhu Cijiong chose the location of the feudal clan himself-he ranked second in last year's feudal qualification examination, second only to Zhu Cizheng.

The imperial court gave as many as eight locations on the west coast. Even if Zhu Cizhen chose San Francisco, which was the best location, Zhu Cijiong still had seven places to choose from.

But he chose Los Angeles, the southernmost city.

Because of Zhu Cijiong's persistence and Hao Guangming's persuasion, Aunt Zhu did not forcibly interfere with Zhu Cijiong's choice.

However, she sold [-] semi-new flintlock guns replaced by the border guards to Ding Wangling, and another [-] semi-new cotton armors, including [-] bright cannons. The guns are as high as one hundred.

When Hao Guangming persuaded Aunt Zhu, he said: With such a configuration of firepower, even a more aggressive one might push back the Spanish colonies in the Mexican area of ​​later generations. What else is there to worry about?

After selling so many arms for King Ding, Zhu Yu felt that he could not favor one over another, so she asked Zhu Cizun if he wanted to buy it too.

In the end, Zhu Cizhao only bought [-] flintlock guns, [-] sets of cotton armor, [-] bright cannons, and [-] tiger crouching cannons on the grounds that his feudal lord did not need such a powerful armament configuration.

Of course, these arms are also semi-new products replaced by the frontier army.

The other two vassal kings, Zhu Yuxi, also decided to sell a batch of equipment replaced by the border guards to them.

Zhu Pinggui, king of Shu, bought five hundred flintlock guns, two hundred sets of cotton armor, and one hundred tiger squatting guns.

Gui Wang Zhu Youlang also bought [-] flintlock guns, [-] sets of cotton armor, and [-] tiger squatting guns.

With these equipments, the combat effectiveness of the four vassal princes' troops is not low.

As for the choice of fiefdom, King Gui Zhu Youlang chose the later Vancouver as the landing point for immigrants. Although this place is close to Seattle, he plans to develop northward in the future.

The king of Shu chose North Bend, Oregon, a small natural port that happened to be in the middle of Seattle and San Francisco. Zhu Pinggui didn't have much ambition, so he felt that it was appropriate to establish the kingdom of Shu here.

Because the immigrant fleet is too large, it may take longer to reach the west coast of America than Shi Lang and others last time.

Whether such a large fleet can reach America safely, and how many people will die of illness in the middle, depends on how Yan Yingyuan, the admiral of the Eastern Navy, and the leaders of the four vassal kings take care of it.

···
After the immigrant fleet of the two younger brothers left, Auntie Zhu's life became a little more relaxed.

On this day, the spring was just right, and Zhu Yu was taking care of the gap between the memorials, and was going to taste a bowl of top-quality bird's nest sent by the Shangshi Bureau.

Unexpectedly, after taking two bites, I suddenly felt nauseated.

Seeing Lian Qiao, who was serving at the side, hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Shuying frowned and looked at the bowl of bird's nest, thinking: Could it be that there is something wrong with the bird's nest?

She didn't dare to think about being poisoned by someone, because when the bird's nest was delivered, someone tried it.But if the bird's nest is not made well, or it has deteriorated, it is also possible.

Shangshi Bureau has always been a place of corruption. Who knows if someone will be obsessed with it and replace the top-quality bird's nest paid by the local government with inferior bird's nest.

Aimee Zhu retched a few times, but found that nothing came out, so she waved her hands and said, "I'm fine."

But in her heart, she was counting the date of her menstruation - it seemed that the day before yesterday should have been her menstruation, but she hadn't come these days.

From this point of view, the thing she planned before may have come true.

Although Auntie Zhu had a clue in her mind, she was not sure, and immediately said: "The imperial doctor is here. Well, it's Lord Fu Qing."

"Yes." Lian Qiao replied, and immediately took out a walkie-talkie to contact Nanjing Medical College.

Nowadays, most imperial physicians in Ming Dynasty work part-time in Nanjing Medical College or Nanjing Hospital, and they do not only serve the royal family and high-ranking officials.

While waiting for Fu Qingzhu's arrival, Aunt Zhu conducted another experiment.

Her heart moved, she wanted to go to the old house in the bamboo forest, but in the end she was still on the throne in the Hall of Martial Arts.

It was the same after several attempts, even though Auntie Zhu was mentally prepared, she panicked a bit.

Regarding the matter of having a child, Aimee Zhu felt that she should not be too selfish after thinking over and over last year.

Although she is still young, she is only 24 years old, as long as she pays attention to maintenance and exercise, it should not be difficult to have a child before the age of 30.But Hao Guangming is ten years older than her, and is now 34.

Although age doesn't have as much of an impact on men's fertility as it does on women, it still has some impact.

Therefore, Auntie Zhu borrowed the practice of seeing a mother-in-law in a certain TV series - without telling Hao Guangming, she used a needle to pierce a few holes in all the condoms.

She has been doing this for a long time, and finally her hard work paid off, and she became pregnant this spring.

She thought that being pregnant might affect her ability to go to the next life, but she didn't expect that she would not be able to travel to the next life after morning sickness.

She didn't know if it was temporary or permanent.

If it is temporary, she can accept it.

But if it is permanent, doesn't that mean that she can no longer be with Hao Guangming?
Thinking of this, Auntie Zhu felt that she could no longer hide from Hao Guangming, so she immediately sent a voice invitation to Hao Guangming using Weixin on her mobile phone.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
　　Correct the typo later.
