Zhu Cixiang finally met the legendary Manchurian warrior Aobai!

To be honest, meeting you is not as good as being famous!

He originally thought that the first warrior in Manchuria would be a ruthless man who was not afraid of anything, but what appeared now in the Yunlong Mountain Palace Hall was a coward with a pale face, stiff expression, dull eyes, and trembling steps.

How come he is the number one Baturu in Manchuria?

In addition, who is he afraid of? There is no one to be afraid of in the main hall, Li Yan, Su Ziwen, two white-faced scholars, Qian Qianyi, a bad old man, Huang Xiaobao, a eunuch, and the head guard Hei Wentao, who is a dashing martial artist.

He was a Han general, but he didn't scare Obai like this!

"Are you really Obai?" Zhu Cixiang asked calmly, "Are you the first warrior in Manchuria, Obai?"

"Yes, the lower official is Guan Aobai."

Guan Aobai? Zhu Cixiang thought to himself: Isn’t it Guarjia Aobai?

"Give me a seat!" Zhu Cixiang waved his hand and asked the guards to move a chair for Ao Bai. Zu Dashou and Zuk Kefa, who came with Ao Bai, also gave them chairs, and they all sat down and talked together.

But Oboi still looked very reserved, sitting only halfway up his buttocks, holding his knees with both hands, a little trembling.

"Your Majesty, Admiral Guan is the Admiral of the Pacific Navy of the Qing Dynasty," Zukefa introduced, "I have just been to the New World."

"Really?" Zhu Cihong said in his heart: No wonder Zheng Jiangong circled the coast of Japan several times, and even the Tokugawa shogunate sent Tokugawa Mitsukuni to protest, but they couldn't find the Qing fleet. It turned out that they had wandered off to America!

"How did you get there?" Zhu Cixiang asked.

"We drifted across from the east coast of Japan on the northeast route, and the wind was favorable all the way. When we reached the coastline of the New World, the wind turned south again, and we continued to sail with the wind until we arrived at the west coast of the New World, a port called 'Santa Big Brother'.

After staying there for a while, I met a special envoy from the governor of New Gisbania, and purchased some guns. Then I set out to sea again and headed south. After driving for a while, I headed west again. It was a smooth journey. It didn't take many days.

It was quite convenient to have just arrived in the Philippines, which is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese. If we hadn’t stayed in San Diego for a little longer, we would have arrived long ago.”

Aobai took the Spanish-controlled Pacific route, taking the Japanese Warm Current, the Pacific Warm Current, the California Cold Current, the North Equatorial Warm Current, and the Japanese Warm Current. The whole thing is a downwind ring.

Even though the length of this downwind ring is more than 20,000 kilometers, because there is a tailwind all the way, it actually does not take much time. It only takes six months to set off from the Philippines and arrive at the port of Acapulco in New Spain.

This includes the time for trade along the way. The return journey is a direct voyage along the ocean current, which only takes up to 3 months.

In other words, one year is enough for a complete detour, including trade and rest!

One year seems like a long time, but in this era where navigation depends on the wind, it is not too slow to go back and forth.

In this circle, except for the North Equatorial Warm Current, there is no business to be done, and there is business to be done in the rest of the area.

Spices and wood can be transported north from the Philippines. The southeastern coast of China and Japan are rich in products, and there is also big business. The northwest coast of America produces furs and gold. Gold mines have not been discovered yet, but

The American mink is famous!

Historically, the colonists of the Rakshasa Kingdom wandered all the way to Alaska in search of fine furs!

In addition, the land in northwest America is relatively fertile and suitable for cultivation.

Of course, it is still unrealistic for a large number of Chinese farmers to take a few months' boat trip to the Americas to farm in the short term. However, the fertile land and suitable climate can still allow a small number of farmers to open up large areas in the northwest of the North American continent.

The rich farms were used to support Ming colonists in prospecting for gold or hunting for furs in the northwest of North America. Adventurers who had lost their dreams of gold mining could also get a farm to settle down in the northwest of North America.

In this way, as long as the American shipping route is opened, Ming adventurers with dreams of getting rich will go to the northwest of America.

This kind of spontaneous and profitable colonization by the people was the most economical for the Ming Dynasty. But the problem was that there was a "nervous Spain" controlling the Pacific Ocean and preventing the Ming Dynasty's ships from passing by!

Of course, there is no lid on the Pacific Ocean. If the Spaniards don't let it, the Ming Dynasty can also send ships to sneak there. But the problem is that the Ming Navy does not have a chart on hand. You can draw it yourself without a chart, but drawing a chart requires a lot of time to explore. You...

It is impossible to succeed in one attempt! And exploration ships come and go, and they need to find some footholds and supplies on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

And most of the east coast of the Pacific is under the control of the Spanish. If the Ming Dynasty exploration ship slipped over, it might be sunk directly!

Even if it is not sunk, it will be difficult to find a place to stay if your eyes are completely black.

Therefore, the risk of exploring without a chart is very high. Emperor Zhu has very few naval talents who can cross the Pacific Ocean, so he cannot waste it like this.

Therefore, Zhu Cixiang never started colonizing America.

"Your Majesty has written a travel diary." At this time, Ao Bai took out the "Ao Bai East Travel Diary" that had been checked three times by Zhu Cixi's bodyguards and handed it to Huang Xiaobao. "I just brought it to His Majesty. It records the following

What he saw on the west coast of the New World. Oh, when he was traveling in San Diego, he also picked up a map of the Pacific Ocean drawn by the Spanish."

What? Pick it up? Can you pick it up on the streets of San Diego?

Emperor Zhu was stunned for a moment and looked at Obei, "Where is the picture?"

Oboi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, of course this sea map is in the hands of my lord. If your Majesty makes my lord Khan and King, you can naturally issue a decree and let him present the map."

"Haha," Zhu Cixiang smiled, "I wonder what title Doduo wants to ask for?"

Ao Bai said: "King Jin, the protector of Anton."

"Defender Anton?" Zhu Cixiang snorted, "He wants to march into North Korea and make a fortune, right?"

The Andong Protectorate was also an official office of the Tang Dynasty. It was first located in Pyongyang and was responsible for managing the hometown of Goguryeo. If Duduo was awarded the title of the Anding Protectorate, then there would be a reason to invade North Korea.

"Your Majesty," Obai said, "my lord is sincerely loyal and willing to defend the country's borders!"

Zhu Cixi shook his head and said: "The title of the King of Jin is too high and cannot be granted. It can only be granted the title of King of Jin, which is equivalent to a prince. The post of Protector of Pingding can be conferred on Duduo. However, the Dudufu is the name of an inner vassal, and Duduo wants to be

To protect the capital, we must go from barbarians to Xia. The soldiers and civilians outside the pass must wear Han clothes, speak Chinese, follow Han rituals, wear Han hair in a bun, and use Han surnames. If Duduo truly belongs to the Ming Dynasty, he should agree to these requirements. Otherwise, what can I do?

Believe him?"

Ao Bai nodded and said: "The lower official heard that Prince Gong has sent a memorial to enter Xia. My lord admires Hanhua as much as Prince Gong, so he will definitely be willing to enter Xia."

Jin Fulin's entry into summer was his mother's intention. If Bumu Butai disagreed, Shi Kefa was going to Beijing! So Jin Fulin immediately recognized the general trend of national integration. We are all one family, so why should we distinguish each other?

As for Duduo learning from the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is for sure! There are not many Eight Banners left in old Manchuria, what else can we do? Not many people can understand the Manchurian dialect!

In addition, Duduo cannot act like a fool on the surface, otherwise what would he be called a minister? Shi Kefa is currently stationed in Tianjin Guards, not far outside the customs!

Zhu Cixiang nodded: "Then I will ask someone to draw up a treaty. You can take it back and have Duduo sign it. I will send Duke Yan to inspect the affairs of the summer. If everything follows the etiquette and law, then I can make him the Great Protector of Anping, and

Give him the surname Jin, and from now on he will be called Jin Duoduo."

Obai let out a breath, it was smoother than expected! Although the Ming Emperor was very murderous, he was still relatively easy to talk to sometimes.
Chapter completed!
