The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 774 Panama is worth having
Xu Xinsu was lucky. When he came to America, he gained a foothold in a strong stone city. There are still many ready-made residential buildings and museum buildings here.

Xu Xinsu, who has a territory in Central America, will of course manage this place well. He renamed the city of San Salvador "New Golden Gate" and invited "Huaxia Development" to set up warehouses and big banks here.

Based on Central America, Xu Xinsu looks forward to South and North America, which will soon become the uncrowned kings of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Merchant ships that do not receive the Qinglong Banner representing duty-payment from "Huaxia Development" will face the risk of being robbed.

"Huaxia Development" negotiated with the Spaniards three years ago and got support. It opened a colony on the Isthmus of Panama. Now a city has risen there. Huang Sheng personally named this city "New Xiamen".

"New Xiamen" has received attention, and there is a standard battalion stationed there. The chief officer is Feng Jingsheng, one of Huang Sheng's third batch of loaders and one of his disciples.

Of course, Xu Xinsu and Feng Jingsheng will not waste their time. They cooperate tacitly and continue to erode Central America, hoping to connect the "New Jinmen" colony with the "New Xiamen" colony.

Of course, Huang Sheng’s early deployment in Central America to take down the Isthmus of Panama has a purpose. After eliminating the slaves and bandits, a large number of immigrants will come here. How can the Han people miss the Panama Canal, a waterway full of gold and silver?

"Nanming" water conservancy experts are already demonstrating the feasibility of building the canal. I believe they will come to a conclusion soon. By then, hundreds of thousands of prisoners will be captured after defeating the intruders. The manpower for such a large project should be enough.

In the future, the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land between "New Kinmen" and "New Xiamen" are not allowed to have indigenous peoples. There are only Han Chinese and Mongolians, Japanese, Koreans, and Javanese who immigrated here and were Sinicized.

In order to take precautions, Huang Sheng could not take advantage of the great projects built by the Han Chinese at the expense of the natives. The best way was to make sure that there were no natives here, and all immigrants were foreigners who spoke Chinese and wrote square characters.

With the benefits of the Panama Canal waterway, one can imagine how rich this place will be in the future, and the Han people must firmly take root.Moreover, this area has a pleasant climate without severe heat and winter, and it also has a large number of mineral deposits, especially copper reserves, which may rank among the top copper mines in the world.

The huge fleet that went north to Liaodong continued to rush north to Huangjiawan Island. Huang Sheng's flagship and a dozen new steam-powered warship formations transferred to the Yangtze River and their destination was Nanjing.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the fleet came to Jiangyin Huangtian Port, and Huang Sheng suddenly wanted to go ashore to inspect Jiangyin's defense.

Although the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty felt strange, no one came forward to obstruct him. Under the stars of the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty and "Nanming", Huang Sheng came to Jiangyin County, Changzhou Prefecture.

When the King of the South came to Jiangyin, officials from the south of the Ming Dynasty came in droves, and there were only a few officials who did not know how to adapt.

Many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River went to "Nanming" to be officials. Of course, the officials in the south of the Yangtze River had to try to show their faces in front of the King of Nan, so that they might not have the opportunity to serve the King of Nan in the future.

Huang Sheng didn't harass the local area, and arranged for the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty to come to the port to visit the heat-powered iron-clad warships, and asked Liu Guozheng to host a banquet for everyone on his behalf.

The giant iron-clad ship that was blowing white smoke without sails had shocked all the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty. When they came to the ship and saw a pair of black and shiny cannons, they felt the power of "Nanming" even more.

There is nothing to say, in the future, if you look for the King of Nan, you will definitely not suffer a loss. With such force, it is a matter of course that the world is invincible.

Huang Sheng didn't drink with Daming Wenwu, he asked Wei Guogong to order to review the Jiangyin regiment training, Wei Guogong was the admiral of Daming Cao Jiang, and he had such power.

Wei Guogong, who had been accompanying Huang Sheng all the time, was very surprised. "Nanming" has arrogance and mighty soldiers. Why does Nanwang want to see the regiment training in a small city of Jiangyin in Daming?
Wei Guogong was worried about laughing and being generous, and he was a little apprehensive. Fortunately, the assembled [-] regiments were full of energy and spirit. They knew that they were the "God of War" and wanted to see the combat effectiveness of Jiangyin's soldiers.

Huang Sheng carefully watched the regiment's drill, chatted with some ordinary soldiers casually, and then rewarded each of them with two silver coins, and brought the officers above the general banner and the lower-level officials of Jiangyin County back to the flagship for a banquet.

The accompanying civil and military officers didn't think there was anything special about the training of the Jiangyin Regiment. In the eyes of the "God of War" soldiers, these soldiers had at most reached the level of intermediate township bravery. Why did the head of the family treat these small soldiers and officials with such courtesy?

Huang Sheng didn't accompany the great officials of the Ming Dynasty, but only brought Li Xihan, Liu Dawan, Ma Yue and other trusted generals to have a drink with Jiangyin's lower-ranking officers.

Soon Huang Sheng became familiar with these officers, and one person was noticed. He was "leading allegiance on the 10th day, representing the [-]th dynasty of the Taizu. [-] people died with one heart and one heart, and stayed in the Ming Dynasty for three hundred miles." original.

Huang Sheng's purpose in coming to Jiangyin was to find him and two others. Of course, these three were Jiangyin's anti-Qing princes—Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun.

It's a pity that Huang Sheng's status is very different from theirs. Yan Yingyuan is just a canonist, who is younger than the master's book and has no rank at all. He doesn't even have a rank.

Feng Houdun was nothing more than a county school instructor who raised people's fame and fame, from the eighth rank, so he was of course cautious in front of the Ming Dynasty No. [-] Scholar.

In a county in Ming Dynasty, there is only one teacher, which is equivalent to the director of the education committee and also the principal of the county school. There are two teachers under him, which should be equivalent to the vice principal.

Chen Mingyu is not yet a canon history, but a commander of the township valor group. The county-level regiment's armed forces are completely part of the militia. Without the official title of the imperial court, Chen Mingyu, the general manager, is nothing but a commoner.

The three of Yan Yingyuan, Jiangyin Bingtou and Xiaoli were lucky enough to see the flagship of the "Huaxia Navy".

At the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty, no one regarded "Nanming" as a foreign country, and Huang Sheng was still the "God of War" in their minds, the god of the Han people themselves, and the "God of War" of Ming Dynasty.

When the wine was hot, Huang Sheng opened his mouth and said: "I inspected the Jiangyin regiment training today, I think the people here are tough, and I intend to recruit young and strong people here to train a battalion of strong troops. The name is 'Jiangyin Camp', what do you think?"

It turned out that Nanwang had taken a fancy to Jiangyin's children, and the soldiers and officials were all excited. Who wouldn't want to work for "Nanming"!
Only Feng Houdun present here is an eighth-rank instructor of the Ming Dynasty, he can barely be regarded as an official, seeing everyone from Jiangyin staring at him, he can only go forward to answer Nan Wang's words.

"Your Highness wants to recruit troops in Jiangyin because he thinks highly of Jiangyin's young people. The last official will definitely tell the county lord to make this happen."

Seeing this man's dignified appearance and upright face, Huang Sheng liked him, and asked, "Feng Xundao, I wonder if you have dabbled in the new learning of 'Nanming'? How do you feel?"
