Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 630 Pioneers of Pioneering

When Dunan was an "angel" in the Kaluya tribe, it was in the port on the other side of the coast.

Hundreds of large ships dangled in the port, and many seabirds hovered over the large ships.

There is a flagship in the center of this huge fleet, surrounded by dozens of frigates armed to the teeth, staying alone in a relatively sheltered small harbor.

On the deck of the flagship, Fusu and Jibu were lying on deck chairs, facing the starry sky, chatting.

"Unconsciously, it has been more than two years since I went to sea. I don't know how Daqin is doing now."

Fusu looked at the starry sky, dazed in wonder.

He was originally a delicate and soft person.

Growing up so big, it was the first time he took power alone and traveled overseas.

This is definitely an extremely difficult test for Fusu.

Especially after arriving in America, Fusu became more and more sad.

Seeing the stars in the sky, he couldn't help thinking of his hometown.

Is Daqin, thousands of miles away, as peaceful as America?

"With His Majesty's suppression in the country, there will be no troubles. Instead of caring about the country, you should first care about our current situation?"

Ji Bu lazily said: "We are here to expand the territory of the Great Qin!"

He was originally a general under Xiang Yu's command, but after Xiang Yu died, he followed Zhong Limei and others, and took refuge in Zhao Kun.

Now following Fusu to the Americas, one person can feed the whole family without hunger, and he can lead the army alone.

For Ji Bu, this kind of life is not too wonderful.

In the past, the two were in Daqin together, and basically had no communication.

Fusu is the eldest son of Great Qin, with a high status.

Ji Bu was born as a scholar from a poor family. After surrendering to Zhao Kun, he has never been entrusted with important tasks.

The friendship between the two is actually just that.

This time they sailed on the sea for a full eight months, no matter how unfamiliar they were, they probably became friends who talked about everything.

Therefore, when Fusu's mentality changed, Jibu immediately noticed it.

The problem is very simple, that is, Fusu's soft-hearted problem has committed again.

Before Fusu rushed to America, Zhao Kun had already made a plan on how to deal with American affairs.

The area of ​​the Americas is vast, and the entire Americas add up to eight times the area of ​​Daqin.

Moreover, this place is sparsely populated and rich in resources.

Once controlled, it will play an extremely powerful supplementary role to the mainland of Daqin.

Whenever a country expands, there are generally only two ideas.

To reserve land for people, or to keep land for no one.

The suggestion given by Zhao Kun is to have both people and land.

After all, at this time, Daqin's navigation technology has not yet developed enough to allow ordinary people to travel back and forth between America and Daqin within a few months.

Therefore, large-scale immigration to the Americas is certainly impossible.

If you want to develop this place, you must use the local indigenous people.

For this reason, Zhao Kun borrowed the example of the Maurya Dynasty and asked Fusu to implement the caste system in America.

This caste system is much looser than that of the Maurya Dynasty.

If we say that the caste system of the Maurya Dynasty put a shackle on the people's heads very straightforwardly, and they could not stand up for life.

The caste system formulated by Zhao Kun for the Americas is a poison wrapped in honey.

In Zhao Kun's vision, people in America in the future will be artificially divided into several types.

Qin people are naturally the highest class, enjoy the highest rights, and have almost no obligations.

The aborigines who were given surnames by the people of Qin belonged to the second class.

The third class is the natives who have good relations with Daqin.

The fourth class is the enemy who was once an enemy of Daqin.

Once this division pattern is settled, it cannot be changed from generation to generation.

After seeing the peace of America, Fusu felt that Zhao Kun's plan was too cruel.

He believes that Daqin can handle the weekly development in a more gentle way.

However, this kind of thinking doesn't work in Ji Bu's eyes.

That's why Ji Bu mentioned Zhao Kun in his answer.

The implication is to tell Fusu what he should do.

Fusu looked at Ji Bu with a wry smile, then sat up.

"You and I have been together for such a long time, you don't think I will change Kundi's original plan?"

"So good!"

Ji Bu curled his lips, obviously not believing what Fusu said.

In fact, both of them are very clear.

The tens of thousands of ordinary Qin people who came with the boat were their strongest support.

With the reproductive ability of the Qin people, as long as they enter the American continent, within a hundred years, the Qin people will become the largest force in America.

Because of this, they have to straighten out all kinds of things at the beginning.

Fusu knew that he had a soft heart, so he didn't directly point out these things to Ji Bu.

But when Ji Bu advised him, he went straight.

Talking to such a smart person who can't communicate euphemistically is quite boring for Fusu.

"Dunan has already gone to the Kaluya Tribe. If there are no accidents, you will give the Kaluya Tribe a surname in the name of the Great Qin State in one month."

"There is no turning back when you open the bow. From the moment you volunteered to His Majesty, you have anticipated this matter. What's the use of regretting it now?"

Ji Bu looked at Fusu with disgust on his face, and left a cold sentence.

If Fusu was entangled because he couldn't be relentless, Ji Bu felt very upset because there was no battle.

In order to obtain the right to lead the troops in actual combat, he specially applied to Zhao Kun to follow Fusu to America.

According to Ji Bu, America has a vast territory, and there are many tribes with a population of one million.

If Daqin wanted to expand here, he would definitely have to fight a lot of battles.

However, after coming here for a year, Ji Buzai finds it uncomfortable.

It seems that his own army has no use in America at all.

Just after arriving in America, Daqin's fleet was regarded as a god by the natives here.

They are all gods, so naturally they are embarrassed to get involved in their mortal struggles.

Moreover, to be honest, the fighting between these small tribes was extremely boring in Ji Bu's view.

Fusu regretted it because she was soft-hearted.

Ji Bu also had some regrets, because he couldn't be hard enough even if he wanted to.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that Zhao Kun was right.

When Qin's troops came to America, their biggest role was to protect the Qin people and maintain order.

"Where is Hou Sheng now?"

Fusu saw that Ji Bu was a little irritable, so he changed the subject and asked.

Ji Bu sneered and said, "My son, after Hou Sheng came to America, he left you here and ran away by himself. This man deserves to be killed!"

Seeing that Fusu was taken aback, Ji Bu couldn't help but shook his head, and said, "Hou Sheng should have arrived in South America by now, and he's visiting the Inca country."

Fusu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

As the leader of the fleet, Daqin's highest officer in America, Fusu actually knew it very well.

Going to the Inca country as a guest is actually an excuse, nothing more than to paralyze the other party.

Thinking that in a few days, he would personally release the demon of the caste system in America, Fusu sighed again.

Ji Bu was standing on the deck of his flagship, holding a strange prawn that was as long as a thumb in his hand.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he looked into the distance with some melancholy eyes.

Contrary to what Fusu and Ji Bu had guessed, after leaving North America, Hou Sheng traveled all the way south along the American coastline, and only stayed in South America for a short two days.

Hou Sheng knew very well in his heart that in fact, when Daqin opened up the Americas, he was nothing more than a guide.

At the beginning, he had just returned to Daqin from America, so he asked Zhao Kun for his permission to go to America to open up territory for Daqin.

Even in Hou Sheng's own opinion, it was impossible for him at that time to be selfless.

Of course, Hou Sheng was born as a alchemist, and he has no worries, so it is not necessarily true that he has a lot of thoughts on making contributions.

It's just that Hou Sheng has been used to this kind of adventurous life after drifting on the sea for too long.

Rather than saying that he wanted to occupy America as king, it is better to say that he only made such a request out of his desire for adventure.

That request was naturally rejected by Zhao Kun.

Before leaving Daqin, Zhao Kun had a talk with Hou Changchang.

Zhao Kun said that there are still many undiscovered places in this world.

He hopes that Hou Sheng can continue to explore these unknown places, and Daqin will definitely give him full support.

Hou Sheng was very happy.

Counting from the time of the First Emperor, to now, he has been floating on the sea for more than ten years.

However, in the past few years, he has been looking for illusory fairy mountains on the sea near Daqin, and it can be said that he has done nothing.

But later, with the support of Zhao Kun, he went to sea again to find America.

It was that time that Hou Sheng saw the magnificence of the world and fell in love with the feeling of fighting against the wind and waves at sea.

Since it is an adventure, it has never been smooth sailing.

Just like now, Hou Sheng's fleet is in trouble.

They sailed south along the west coast of America for six months.

When I went to sea, it was June in the new calendar of the Great Qin Dynasty, when the weather was the hottest.

Four months later, Hou Sheng discovered that the weather was still extremely hot in what should have been a breezy autumn season.

After another two months, the weather gradually turned cooler.

In the seventh month, they completely left the southernmost coastline of America and plunged into the boundless sea.

Until this time, the weather began to gradually cool down.

On the boundless sea, I sailed south for two months.

Hou Sheng still remembers how excited he was when he saw the white coastline that morning.

At last they saw land again.

This continent gave Hou Sheng a feeling of deja vu.

He remembered the extremely cold place that Zhao Kun called the North Pole when he went all the way north from Daqin.

However, Hou Sheng was very sure that this was not the North Pole he had seen at the beginning.

At the beginning, he stayed in the North Pole for more than a month.

During that time, the entire North Pole was dark and without sunlight.

The sun has never risen before, and the multicolored rays across the sky are unforgettable for Hou Sheng in his life.

However, on this vast continent in front of us, the sun never sets, and the North Pole can be called two extremes.

Moreover, the giant white bear unique to the North Pole was not seen on the continent in front of him.

Most importantly, the area of ​​the North Pole is not large.

But the continent in front of Hou Sheng was really too big.

They continued to walk along the coastline for nearly two months, and they still hadn't come to the end of the continent.

For two months, we continued to sail in daylight, coupled with the cold climate.

In the originally huge fleet, injuries and illnesses continued, and a full third of the workforce was reduced.

Hou Sheng once organized people to go ashore, but in the end he was disappointed to find that this continent was completely deserted.

All places are covered with snow, without any vegetation.

Except for places close to the coastline, you can see patches of black and white strange birds, as well as some strange-looking animals.

But in the depths of the continent, life is restricted.

This kind of place is not suitable for human survival at all.

After inspecting the coast for two months, Hou Sheng had no choice but to give up.

During this time, he kept recalling the secrets that Zhao Kun told him back then.

According to Zhao Kun, this world is like the stars in the sky, a big ball floating in the void.

The North Pole he went to before is the northernmost point of this big ball.

Zhao Kun concluded that there is also a world made of ice and snow at the southernmost end of the big ball.

In order to help Hou Sheng understand these knowledge, Zhao Kun even took out a self-made globe and told Hou Sheng the concept of latitude and longitude
At the beginning, the globe that Zhao Kun took out has become the top secret of Daqin, and it is rare for ordinary people to see it.

The officials of Daqin, what they see most are the maps drawn by the merchants of Daqin.

On that map, the south of Nanyang is empty.

Even, the Americas that Daqin has already discovered are also Wang Yang.

These things have become the core secrets that only the Great Qin royal family can control.

As a representative figure among alchemists, Hou Sheng is extremely intelligent.

But the things Zhao Kun described were really obscure in his eyes.

From what he saw and from what he understood, he could only think that the extreme north he went to was the place where the sun fell.

And the extreme southern land where it is now is the land where the sun rises.

Of course, with Zhao Kun's science popularization, Hou Sheng still has a certain understanding of the phenomena of polar day and polar night, but he is still skeptical.

If you wait here, you will naturally be able to verify whether Zhao Kun's statement is correct.

However, Hou Sheng is not so boring.

The knowledge shown by Zhao Kun has already convinced Hou Sheng that he is the reincarnation of a fairy.

Choose which one to believe between what you have seen with your own eyes and what you have said to Zhao Kun.

Hou Sheng was more inclined to trust Zhao Kun than his own eyes.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have so much time and energy to verify such boring things.

After nearly a year of sailing, the fleet was seriously attrition.

If he didn't leave this place, Hou Sheng felt that sooner or later the fleet would be completely destroyed here.

However, what made him desperate was that they were clearly heading east all the way according to the instructions of the compass, but they were still unable to leave this continent.

Four months later, when Hou Sheng saw the traces left by him when he first came here again, he finally realized that something was wrong.

He decisively ordered the fleet to divert and head north.

At this time, something even more terrifying happened.

Sure enough, as Zhao Kun said, this place has changed from eternal day to eternal night.

The weather is getting colder and the sea is starting to freeze.

This made Hou Sheng's fleet even more difficult.

As the night got darker and the weather got colder, Hou Sheng became more and more desperate.

He knew that if he couldn't get out of this ghost place, everyone would die here.
