Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 192 [191] 1414! !
Zhou Li'an was very tangled.

But he knows that seeing is a must.

On the one hand, it is due to interest, ancient celebrities, giants of the times, and great navigators.

On the other hand, Daming's navigation and shipbuilding technology can be summarized.

[Academic Center] Of course there is everything.

But never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

While self-studying by the monks of the law, if they can have "Zheng He's Fleet Information" for reference and comparison, it will be more effective with half the effort.

After all, practical experience is precious and rare, otherwise since the archives of "Zheng He's Mission to the Waters" were lost during the "Chenghua Years", there would be no power to travel far.

Finally, I would like to popularize the concept of "Spherical Earth Theory" a little. It doesn't matter whether it is taken seriously, it is just to popularize the concept.

Because Zhou Li'an did not expect Zheng He to sail to Europe.

The Suez Canal does not exist, and the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, and Mediterranean Sea cannot be connected.

If you want to reach the Mediterranean Sea, you have to go around the Cape of Good Hope for more than 16000 kilometers to the Strait of Gibraltar.

In the barren land of Africa, except for the rise of the northeast coast due to Arab business activities, the rest of the region still has nothing and is barbarians.

Without supplies, more than [-] crew officers and soldiers never returned.

In addition, the foundation of voyages to the Western Seas comes from the accumulation of routes accumulated by predecessors, maritime merchants, and small countries in Southeast Asia.

Without a mature foundation for route exploration, monsoons and ocean currents cannot be controlled, and it is difficult for ships to travel.

It took the Portuguese more than 50 years to complete the exploration of the West African route, and they were tortured to death by the equatorial windless belt in Guinea...

Zheng He is an outsider, how can he get through it safely?

And colonial indoctrination is useless.

Daming has a vast land, unlike small European countries that need to expand overseas to replenish themselves.

Instead of sending serfs back, Ming could be self-sufficient.

And Zhou Li'an didn't want to interfere with Africa and its future development.

reason?

Colonial construction is not that simple.

In 1415, the year Zheng He returned to Daming after his fourth voyage, Portugal completed its invasion and rule of Ceuta, the commercial center city of North Africa.

In 1419, he took control of the Madeira Islands.

This was the first act of European colonization, and Portugal did not reap much benefit.

The operation of the new site is costly, building fortresses, investing troops, suppressing rebels, etc...

Equilibrium is enough to play by itself in the Americas.

It is better to let the Europeans complete the work of opening up wasteland and land.

For example, the earliest overseas diplomatic affairs were based on business operations;

But gradually found that the African barbarians are very good, it is better to get rich quickly and conveniently.

So, why not wait for the Europeans to finish their operations, and Kinkou protect the colony for them?
I didn't mean to rob.

African natives are very fierce, mostly cannibals.

To protect your safety in a balanced way, your "symbolic intersection point protection fee" will do.

Therefore, meeting Zheng He was only to sow a seed of balance.

In the west there is the divine land, which is the land of joy for the god of creation and the lord of balance.

Those who believe in him have eternal life.

Zhu Di is recognized by later generations as a wise master, he is not superstitious, and he does not take pills; if he is obsessed with Taoism, it is nothing more than usurping the throne and being unstable, and he needs the blessing of theocracy.

All kinds of fantasy brushwork in the current public account.

Zhu Di died suddenly on the road, and the cause of his death was a mystery, and he came to this point in pursuit of immortality with the prescription of gold and stone.

Come on, the ancients, still conquering and fighting in the north to manage the affairs of a country, worked hard.

In the end, he lived to be 64 years old, which has exceeded the average life expectancy of the ancients, okay?
Of course, even if Zhu Di is not superstitious, as an emperor, if he really has the chance to live forever, who wouldn't want it?
Now is the opportunity -

"Xiao Zheng, go back and tell your master, Xiao Zhu, that if you believe in balance, you will live forever. Ask him if he believes it or not!"

The meeting thing is a certainty.

Zhou Li'an pondered for a long time, focusing on the "engine company acquisition case" sent by Barbara.

The construction of the balanced salt road depends on these engines.

The time flow of the two worlds is not equal, so it can only give the present world some time to catch up.

The phone was dialed, and Barbara answered immediately, "Boss?"

Zhou Li'an said lightly: "Urge Bombardier, I'm listed on Dash8, and speed up the shipment, otherwise I will sue him for fraud and cancel the order!"

It has been a month since the order was placed, and the delivery time is promised to be three months.

Reminder and reminder, delivery within two months is always no problem.

As for Piper, it's easy to say.

Small aircraft manufacturing is not that complicated.

What's more, Zhou Li'an didn't have the guts to drive the Piper M600 across the Atlantic Ocean. The small plane is too light and lacks power, which is prone to accidents.

If he really fell into the sea, even if he could go back and forth through time and space several times and enter the sea smoothly, he would have to order a yacht or seaplane from this world to return to land.

That scene was just too funny.

Later, Barbara got Bombardier's promise again, "give them another five weeks at most, and it will definitely be delivered. The modification is already halfway through."

……

balanced.

9 Great City Owens Valley.

In September, Zhou Weiguo and his party took a new road, first arriving at No. 9 Dacheng, and then arriving from the north entrance of Owens Valley.

Niushi was very excited to see his friends, and he was greeted in full armor, which was the highest courtesy.

A group of battle group leaders did not dare to take it lightly.

The only Dzogchen in the Kingdom of God, also holds the post of "supervisor".

Although they don't know what the "supervisors" do, they are still much more powerful than they are unknown, right?

When they met, they were very lively.

Shouts of "supervisor" made Zhou Weiguo elated.

Then he was led into the account by bullshit, "Weiguo, are you ready? After half a month of training, I will send a transportation team to send salt supplies to the 11th big city first."

"The best tempering is still on the road. At that time, I won't be with the army, so you will lead me."

"Of course, the main military affairs are the responsibility of the leader of the battle group. You can learn while watching and understand the military rules."

Zhou Weiguo nodded quickly, looking expectant.

Balance up and down, who doesn't want to join the cavalry army?

Niushi saw Zhou Weiguo's disciples and many members of the inspection team moving wooden boxes one by one, and asked strangely, "What are these?"

Zhou Weiguo was about to speak, but suddenly remembered something, immediately shut up and reorganized his words——

"This is the fruit of my sins that I collected at Didymar."

He kept a secret again.

There are only 2 boxes of sin fruits.

The rest are your engagement tokens, explosives, sent to you by your family Li Huaien.

Of course, it's really just saltpeter, and the rest of the components will be collected along the way.

Zhou Weiguo opened a box of books and showed it to Shit.

Bullshit is also shocking after watching it.

Although he was once a member of the primitive tribe, but he was still young and inexperienced at that time, so he had never really seen the madness and brutality of the aborigines.

Even though the memory of the Battle of Tushi Valley is vague, it is far from the snow girl who witnessed the death of the witch and the blood splashed on the face, leaving deep scars.

"From this point of view, there will definitely be a turmoil in the future. As Xiaohua said, those sinners have no way out, and they may be hit on the verge of death."

"But don't worry, Balance will protect you, and I will protect you too!"

After Zhou Weiguo rested for a day, he joined the army for training.

Daily heavy-duty walking is the training will bestowed by the Lord God, refer to the physical training method of later generations.

Marching to the Mono Lake Salt Field, we still need to help the people of No. 9 Dacheng to pile up salt and sharpen their bodies and minds under the scorching sun.

9 month 19 day.

A transport team of one thousand people set off, carrying salt and supplies to supply the No. 11 big city.

When the army arrives, it will only take a small part away and go into battle lightly.

Zhou Weiguo's inspection team set off.

Those books and saltpeter have been divided into skins and carried by their spare horses.

Iron cavalry set off, one person and two riders.

There are also some elites who have three riders per person, which can be used for long-distance raids.

In the future, [-] people will bring nearly [-] war horses, with a mighty momentum, billowing smoke and dust everywhere they pass, covering the sky and covering the earth.

In early November.

A team of thousands of people arrived at No. 11 Ayutthaya.

Zhou Weiguo has visited several times, and now he can see the changes in the big city, which can be described as changing with each passing day.

At present, more than 10 indigenous people have not seen prosperity, but in the near future, 5000 people from each of [-] cities will migrate here to increase productivity in the cement factory area, and then there will be a divine kingdom.

10 month 21 day.

Xiao Hua waited in the temple early.

Temple Mount monks and elders gathered together.

Soon after, everyone witnessed the coming of the true God and kowtowed and praised together.

Zhou Li'an and Xue Nu listened to the report for three months, but nothing major happened.

And the biggest thing right now is nothing compared to the "Sign of Judgment".

The next day.

The altar has been set up in the central square of the main city.

The people of each city had already counted the time and came ahead of time to witness this sacred moment.

in the early morning.

The holy dharma body is revealed, and the golden light is dazzling.

The majestic divine voice descends——

"Today, the time for judgment has come!"

"The glory of Balance will dispel the haze and gloom in the south, and in the holy name of Balance, swing down the sword of judgment!"

The sound of praise from the people kneeling down was like thunder shaking.

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

"Equilibrium lies in..."

When the Balanced Holy Artifact flew to the Owens Valley, the whole city cheered enthusiastically.

And under the Temple Mount, the prison.

A pair of master and servant also knelt down and praised the holy artifact that had ascended to the sky realm, trembling.

"Looking at the balance of kindness and compassion, cast your gaze on the Aztecs!"

"Izkoatl, we have done everything we can, and the rest is up to you."

……

Owens Valley.

More than [-] iron cavalry have already assembled the army, showing their majesty in the morning light.

The crimson armor is like a wave, in stark contrast to the emerald grassland.

When the holy artifact flew over, it hovered at low altitude.

The balanced voice of our Lord descended from high above—

"O warrior who believes in me!"

"I give you rain at this moment, so that your journey will no longer be hungry and thirsty, and my will will always accompany your body and spirit!"

click.

The pesticide sprayer installed on the H225 engineering machine is turned on.

The inside is filled with pure water, which is sprinkled as water mist.

Physical effects of course not.

It is mainly a sense of ritual, blessed by spiritual magic BUFF.

The army was shocked, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Everyone uncovered their helmets, opened their mouths to welcome Ganlin, shouted Gantian after entering, and felt that the divine power was protecting them like a spring.

Immediately, the witch's voice confided——

"Sign of Judgment, let's go!!"

During this period, a disciple of Zhou Weiguo filmed everything on the roof of No. 9 Dacheng, and then it will be broadcast in 10 cities.

The Balanced Holy Artifact didn't leave, but walked with the army for a while before gradually drifting away.

The hearts of the people are hot and the fighting spirit is fierce.

There is no one who is unwilling to be heartbroken for our lord, and just wants to reach that sinful place in an instant, and use a balanced eternal fire to burn all sins and purify the world.

Afterwards, Zhou Li'an returned to the No. 9 city.

After picking up Zhou Weiguo's disciples and returning to the main city, they crossed over and left.

Then, it was night.

He handed over the edited video memory to the film broadcast team, and sent it to various cities to start broadcasting a few days later, completing the internal propaganda work during the war.

Xiaohua was recruited again and gave some pointers.

The next coming will be two months later, the repertoire of the Kingdom of God, New Year's Day of Recovery.

……

Half a month later.

The army arrived at the great city of Hohokan, and after a short stay, they collected supplies and set out on the road again.

At the same time, the 10 cities of the Kingdom of God have begun to mobilize and migrate.

Some were selected by the Kingdom of God, and some were spontaneously registered.

And because of this, differences arose.

The elder of the Hohokan people came to Xiao Hua and said, "Chief, you are the one I have watched grow up. Don't send the Hohokan people to border towns!"

"How can we stay away from our Lord when we have a balanced mind?"

Xiaohua is really a little short-tempered towards them.

In terms of closeness, the Hohokan people are considered half of her family, and these elders take good care of her.

If it wasn't for the bullshit, there would have been Elder Huo Hokan's heir long ago who wanted to marry her.

"The big city No. 11 is also owned by Balance, and it is also the foundation of the Kingdom of God. Besides... it was your former home, why can't you move it there?"

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

No one knows the difficulty of opening up wasteland.

More importantly, if they stay away from the true God, they are afraid that they will no longer be taken seriously.

"Anyway, I don't want to leave my lord's side, I want to serve him close! If you don't agree, I will wait for my lord to come and ask for his will."

Xiaohua was angry and laughed, she shouldn't have said much about the future of the Kingdom of God, but due to her close relationship, she still told the truth——

"Salt Road is the trend of the times, and there is also my Lord's will, the No. 11 city will definitely prosper!"

"And in the future, the population will be concentrated in the eastern region. Millions of southern tribes will migrate here, and people will need to govern it."

"Otherwise, what is the legislation of my kingdom of God?"

"If the Hohokan people are in the 11th big city, they must be the first batch to move to the eastern region in the future. If any responsibilities are dropped, you will definitely bear the brunt!"

"If you get credit, you and your descendants will surely receive the grace and blessings of our Lord."

"You can't just look in front of you! When I waited to come to Balance, the main city was not as prosperous as Huo Huo. At that time, did you ever think that Balance would build 10 cities and the cities would prosper?"

"Although the pioneers suffer, they will have more rewards than others in the future. This is an investment!"

"If I've said so much, you still don't understand..."

Speaking of this, Xiaohua's face was serious, and the majesty inherited from the witch came spontaneously.

"If you don't respect the oracle, you will be rebellious. When the Lord comes, it depends on whether the Lord and the witch will listen to my lawsuit, or listen to your words that are unwilling to forge ahead and expand the territory for balance!"

The elder of the Hohokan people was stunned, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Go, go! We will go through all kinds of difficulties and lay the foundation for the balance of the general situation. My lord will definitely see it!"

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

Wait until someone leaves.

Xiaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hohokan people have no problem with their beliefs, but it is understandable for human nature to pursue interests.

As far as the matter is concerned, moving to the No. 11 big city is indeed to stay away from the gods.

She felt a little guilty.

……

12 month 22 day.

The balance of our lord comes.

Hearing Xiao Hua's arrangement, Zhou Li'an said with a smile, "Your arrangement is correct. The Hohokan people know the terrain of the No. 3 region, and it will be very convenient for them to explore mineral sources in the future."

"But they are far away from the main city, and they have indeed given up."

"I will give them grace."

"The Hohokan people were given the surname Huo, which means 'harvest' in the same pronunciation. Their deeds of opening up wasteland and harvesting for the Kingdom of God should be remembered by the Kingdom of God and the people of later generations; it can be included in the "Balanced Book"!"

Xiaohua was shocked, and immediately kowtowed, "Praise my lord, praise balance! Wynn thanks for the Huo clan."

After she could afford to wait, she anxiously wanted to summon a messenger to deliver the news.

Xue Nu interrupted with a smile, "I know you are close to those Huo clan elders, but don't be in a hurry, even if you send a letter, it will take half a month."

"It will be the New Year of Recovery Day, my lord will go to the 10th region to inspect the army of judgment, and when he returns, he will also come to the 11th big city."

"At that time, you will tell them the good news, and then my lord will personally bestow favors on them, and you will also lead them to remember your kindness. In the future, you will be able to order and prohibit the management of affairs!"

"This is the way to control the next."

Xuenv no longer systematically studied various subjects, instead reading the management, economics, and government affairs books compiled by Zhou Li'an.

In this way, he can stabilize his rank as a witch and give him teachings from time to time.

Xiaohua understood everything, and showed a friendly smile, "I praise my Lord, and I also praise you, great witch."

12 month 31 day.

2 points in the early hours.

The Equilibrium Hallows takes off and will fly to Region 8 Texas in 10 hours.

When the fireworks bloom tonight, it will be the arrival of a new year——

Equilibrium for 14 years.

AD 1414! !
