Chapter 1328 Arrive at Jinshan

The boat approached the Spanish warship, Tokugawa Yoshitaka and others boarded the deck.

"Your Excellency, I am the general of Tokugawa Takuma Yinzhou!" Tokugawa Yoshitsuke came up and bowed, "This is a gift from the Tokugawa family. In the future, I hope to take care of you. Aligado will kill my aunt!"

Xia Wanchun gave him a Spanish translation, followed the Japanese on the fleet and gave him some gifts, a few Japanese knives, and some silver.

For those who don’t know the Japanese, seeing the Tokugawa family so polite, the tense atmosphere immediately eased.

The officers on the ship had never been to Japan, but knew that Japan had a brief alliance with Spain.

America is regarded as its own private place by the Spanish. It is fine if the British and French come over, but now the Japanese are also coming over, and the Spanish are definitely unhappy.

However, there was only one warship today, and there were many ships on the other side. The Spanish officers did not dare to act rashly. The Japanese bowed and gave gifts, asking him to decide to go back and ask for instructions before talking.

When the Spanish saw that they were not a magistrate, they were a little polite. "Your Excellency, why did the Tokugawa family come to North America? This is our Spain sphere of influence. Without the permission of the governor, you cannot establish a stronghold here."

Tokugawa Yoshitaka hurriedly bowed, "Smith-Marseille. Our Tokugawa family was defeated by the rebels supported by the Hanchao people in Japan and lost a large area of ​​land. In order to leave a way out, we came to Yinzhou to establish a stronghold in order to prevent the land from being completely captured by the rebels."

Tokugawa Yoshitaka explained to the Spaniards the experience of the Tokugawa family, hoping that the Spaniards would allow them to breed, and for this reason they were willing to give the Spaniards a sum of money every year as land rent.

The Spanish officer had no right to make a decision, but he consciously discovered a very useful information for the Spanish colonial authorities.

After the two sides had friendly exchanges, the Spanish officer said he wanted to go back and ask for instructions, so he hurriedly led a sailboat to Mexico.

...

On the shore and in the temporary camp, everyone was shocked that the Spaniards discovered that they were landing so quickly.

"Xiasan, the Spaniards have left, but they are likely to come again. What should we do next?" Tokugawa Yoshitsuna asked.

Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "The fleet that is working hard now should be close to Kingsoft. The pressure on the Spaniards has increased and they will not be interested in paying attention to it. You can rest assured to build a dock and stronghold here."

As a strategic master, Gao Huan asked Xia Wanchun to open the North route, in order to attract the attention of the Spaniards, he issued an order to the Dagan East China Sea Navy to conduct ocean voyages and put pressure on the Spaniards.

Compared with Western powers such as Spain, Britain, France, and the Netherlands, although there are many naval warships in Ganchao, they are not a global navy.

The warships of Western European powers were sailing all over the world, but the areas where the Navy was engaged in activities were limited to the East China Sea, the South Ocean and the East Indian Ocean.

The strength of Gan Chao sailors is completely inconsistent with the maritime power they hold.

Nowadays, there are many warships launched every year, and the number of warships has exceeded that of Spain.

In order to successfully open the North route, Gao Huan asked the Ganchao Navy to try to sail to the East Pacific Ocean. While putting pressure on the Spaniards, he also trained the team to prepare for the final showdown on Yinzhou.

After hearing what Natsukoshi said, Tokugawa Yoshitsuna felt relieved, and immediately ordered the immigrants to unload all the goods on the ship and start building a camp. Natsukoshi took a new rifle and ammunition to head along the coastline towards Kingsoft.

Half a month later, the group arrived in Kingsoft County and learned that the third encirclement of the Spanish team's new business company had begun.

The first time was the Spanish attack on Kingsoft County, forcing Kingsoft military and civilians to retreat into the depths of the forest and merge with the Apache Alliance's indigenous people.

The second time was the development of Xinshang Company, which was discovered by the Spanish expedition team. The Spanish gathered 30,000 troops to encircle Xinshang Company, but were defeated by Xinshang Company.

This time was the third encirclement initiated by the Spanish, with not only the participation of the Spanish army, but also the support of the British and French colonists.

Now the third anti-encirclement and suppression has been fought for a year.

Xinshang Company mobilized its troops first and defeated the British and French colonists who came from the east. After several ambushings, the colonists who wanted to cut their scalp and make a fortune hurriedly retreated.

Then, Xinshang Company immediately mobilized its troops south to face the Spanish army in the south.

The two sides fought fiercely near the Dashang River. The Shang army finally had to give up the defense line because of insufficient troops and weapons and ammunition. The Spanish army then advanced rapidly. Now even Yindu has been captured by the Spanish.

In Jinshan City, Jiang Jiaren was discussing with several chiefs to resist the Spanish, hoping that the tribes would unite to fight the colonists' whale swallowing and encroachment.

At this time, Liu Zhongxia suddenly came in and said with an excited look: "General, the aid from the court is here!"

When Jiang Jiaren heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and reacted and stood up, "Really?"

Due to the blockade of the Spanish fleet, it is difficult for new merchants to obtain funding from the Qian Dynasty. Every time the Qian Dynasty supplies come, it is something worth celebrating.

Liu Zhongxia said excitedly: "It's true that it's Mr. Xia who led the team here in person!"

"Shishou Minister Xia?" Jiang Jiaren frowned slightly.

"Xia Wanchun, the Minister of War, is said to be the youngest minister in the court. He will definitely be in the Councillor to be the prime minister in the future!" Liu Zhongxia was very excited and did not pay any attention to Jiang Jiaren's expression. "The court sent Xia to us, which shows that the court attaches great importance to us!"

Jiang Jiaren asked, "Where are people?"

Liu Zhongxia said: "We're almost out of the city!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiaren sorted out the fur on his body and the feathers on his head. He said in local dialect to the chiefs with the same equipment: "The imperial envoy from the court has arrived, please follow me to greet him!"

Although Xinshang Company promotes Chinese and Chinese character education, it is actually very difficult to let all indigenous people speak Chinese.

Now the illiteracy rate of the people in the Qian Dynasty is as high as 60% to 70%. Xinshang has no strength or talents to promote comprehensive Chinese education.

Therefore, in daily communication, indigenous language is the main language.

The same is true for clothing. After the trade with Qian Dynasty was interrupted, cloth could not be obtained, so many people in the company were dressed in natives.

Because they were very far away from the Qian Dynasty and their contacts were often interrupted, Jiang Jiaren could only rely on the indigenous people. He also deliberately spoke local dialect and dressed up as a chief to show that they were the same as the indigenous people, so as to unite all tribes to resist the colonists together.

Xia Wanchun led the team and arrived in Jinshan County with a difficult journey. From a distance, he saw a group of people wearing indigenous clothes standing outside the city with a smile.

"This is Mr. Xia, please envoy Xia!" Jiang Jiaren smiled and said, "Welcome to Jinshan!"
