Chapter 1368 Return of the North American Expedition

On the other side of the ocean, on the west coast of North America, Jinshan Town.

This is the first stronghold established by the Kyushu Army's expedition team in North America.

Jinshan Town, located in the San Francisco Bay, can already be regarded as a town. There are clusters of civil houses, fences, forts, farmland, pastures, wells, enough to be self-sufficient, and soldiers patrol to protect the town from indigenous attacks.

In spring, a fleet from the mainland arrived in Jinshan Town.

This is the first time that Jinshan Town has been visited by local ships.The Jinshan expedition team also successfully completed their mission here - they established a colonial stronghold in San Francisco Bay and found traces of gold mines.

"You have completed the tasks assigned by the military department excellently, and our second batch of expeditions will hand over your work." A major dispatched by the military department took the second batch of North American expeditions off the ship, and he saw Jinshan The town is more prosperous than he expected, and he can't help but admire it.

"Thank you." Cao Bianjiao shook hands with the visitor, and the handover between the first and second expeditions was completed.

"Dear residents of Jinshan Town! We have successfully defended the New World for three years and opened up fertile land. You have worked hard during this time! Now that the mainland has sent a fleet, the townspeople who plan to return to the mainland will be able to receive Subsidy. If he wants to stay in the New World and become a permanent resident, then the land he contracted will be exempt from paying rent for ten years." Cao Bianjiao called the townspeople of Jinshan Town to arrange the next thing.

In addition to adventurers, the first North American expedition team played the role of pioneers. They opened up Jinshan Town.

The first batch of hundreds of pioneers in Jinshan Town began to hesitate whether to return to the mainland.

Some of them are refugees or victims of disasters. Because of the organization of the government, they took part in the expedition with their families. They built houses here, reclaimed farmland, raised livestock in captivity, and were self-sufficient. They were reluctant to part with the fruits of their labor here.

Of course, some family members of the expedition team are still in the mainland, and they are ecstatic that they can return to the mainland.They stayed in North America for three years and couldn't wait to go home.

In the end, there are only five or five town residents who choose to stay in Jinshan Town to become permanent residents and return to the mainland.

"Everyone must be searched before boarding the ship." Cao Bianjiao Before the townspeople left, in order to prevent someone from secretly hiding gold from North American gold mines and transporting it back to the mainland, all people and luggage returning to the mainland were subject to inspection. If you want to hide gold privately, you will face severe punishment.

The achievement of the North American expedition team is not only to establish the permanent stronghold of Jinshan Town, but more importantly, to find gold mines and find a lot of gold. The gold will be handed over to the military to make up for the expenses of the North American expedition team.

"Jinshan Town is not just a gold mine, it can also produce food, timber, and fur to supply the local area. It can also be the starting point for conquering the New World. Our muskets are invincible in this continent." Cao Bianjiao was worried about the construction of Jinshan Town. He gave instructions to the governor of Jinshan Town who succeeded him.

The Kyushu Army adopted a typical governor-general system for non-provincial colonies, and newly established the post of governor of Jinshan Town in Jinshan Town, which has efficient and centralized power.

"The military department has considered various situations and formulated a development plan for Jinshan Town. We will not destroy your hard work." The governor of Jinshan Town assured Cao Bianjiao.

"Change Jiao, leave the rest to them." Li Yizhu came over with two Caucasian dogs.

"Then I'm counting on you." Cao Bianjiao's mood was quite complicated at this time. After all, he watched Jinshan Town build up from scratch, just like an old father seeing his grown daughter get married.

"Are they going to follow us back to the mainland?" Li Yizhu stroked the hair of the Caucasian dog.

The two Caucasian dogs were puppies when they arrived in the San Francisco Bay, but are now adults and look huge.One of the Caucasian dogs still has scars on its legs from fighting the natives.

"Take them with you. Although they like the mountains here more, I guess they don't recognize them." Cao Bianjiao said.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hui, let's get on the boat!" Li Yizhu got Cao Bianjiao's permission, and took two Caucasian dogs on the big boat back to the mainland.

"My lord, we've finished drinking all the wine we brought, and this time we can finally go back to our hometown to have a drink! Cao Bianjiao, what are you waiting for, the ship is just short of you!" Zheng Zhihu couldn't wait to think To return to the mainland, he said to Cao Bianjiao.

"Okay!" After Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, he boarded the boat together.

The townspeople of Jinshan Town who chose to stay came to the riverbank to see off Cao Bianjiao, Zheng Zhihu, Li Yizhu and others, and many of them cried out.

Jinshan Town was the town they built together, but now they are divided into two groups. One group returns to the old continent, and the other group stays in the new continent. The huge Pacific Ocean is separated in the middle. It may be several years before they can see each other again. Or never see you again for the rest of your life.

"Goodbye!" Li Yizhu waved to the townspeople below, and she could almost name them all.

At the time of parting, Li Yizhu couldn't help but burst into tears when she thought that she might never see some of the townspeople in Jinshan Town again.

"They chose to stay in the New World. This is their choice. The members of our expedition team originally came from all over the world. When we return to the mainland, some of us will be separated from us." Cao Bianjiao comforted.

"Brother Cao is right. There are so many wishful things in this world. Everyone just wants to survive better." Zheng Zhihu walked over, "When our Zheng brothers were exiled to Dongying, we still relied on selling Shoes, sewing for a living, life is too difficult. It's better to be glad that this is just a life, not a death. If we encounter a storm in the Pacific Ocean later, it will be miserable."

"Brother Zheng, are you the one who comforts others?" Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said such unlucky words just before going out to sea. spirit.

Although everyone in Jinshan Town was reluctant to leave, the fleet still left Jinshan Town.

The return voyage of the first North American expedition team just symbolizes that the conquest of the New World has just begun. The newly arrived governor of Jinshan Town brought more cumbersome steam engines and iron tools. They will carry out larger-scale development of the gold mines here.At the same time, the first batch of North American expedition teams brought back the first pot of gold, as well as research on the geology and hydrology here, so that the third and fourth expedition teams will be arranged in the future.
