Chapter 686 New Jinling(1/2)

For the Ming people in the New World of North America, there is nothing more exciting than seeing the people and things in their hometown.

As they found the New World, they were excited at first, and they were all looking forward to the day they returned home to enjoy the glory and honor of success.

But as time went by, the backwardness of the New World and the endless pursuit of things that seemed simple in the Central Plains made everyone feel boring.

Coupled with the continuous conquests in the later period, everyone needs to do several things at the same time.

They were clearly the most elite frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty. Now they not only have to do their job of killing people, but also some people have to build fortresses, some have to build wharves, some have to cultivate fields, and some have to

We have to do things like washing salt, laying bridges, building roads, breeding, etc.

This has been the case for a long time, and many people have begun to wonder what they are going to do in this new world.

Every day when I open my eyes, I either receive military orders to go deep into the Great Plains to fight the natives again, or I have to do those tedious things at the seaside.

When the naval fleet appears on the sea.

As if the news had wings, it reached everyone's ears in an instant.

then.

The entire seaside city was boiling.

Master Wang arrives.

This heralds that the imperial court will finally begin to vigorously develop the New World, and they, the first batch of meritorious officials who found the New World, finally have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains, accept rewards from the imperial court, reunite with other family members, and return there

In the original life that is familiar but seems to be a little strange.

The people of Ming Dynasty were holding hoes, shovels, dustpans and other things in their hands, waving their hands at the pier and the coast towards the fleet approaching slowly on the sea.

The native people of the New World, whom Zhu Yunwen called the Yin Di'an people, had already put on their distinctive costumes and danced their own dances in groups on the pier in an organized manner.

Colorful clothes, decorated with colorful feathers.

For a moment, it looked particularly beautiful.

Zhu Yun glanced at the Yin Di'an people who were singing and dancing, then tilted his head and looked at Sun Cheng aside: "Perhaps, this is the meaning of our existence here."

Sun Cheng didn't quite understand what Zhu Yunwen's sigh meant at this time.

There was a trace of doubt on his face.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "Of course I am waiting to sit down and watch these people perform songs and dances."

I didn't expect him to say such a reason.

This actually surprised Sun Cheng.

At this time, the clippers sent by the fleet had also sent the first batch of Royal Navy officers and soldiers to the dock.

"Report!"

"The Ming Dynasty Royal Navy's East Sea Fleet's East Crossing Squadron, General Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Kuangshan, has received the order to cross eastward to the New World. The fleet has arrived. Please send someone to pilot the pier and bridge."

Zhu Yunwen said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that Marquis Zhu Shou is here. Please hurry up and send someone to follow him to pilot the ship."

Sun Cheng, who was beside him, understood and immediately picked out a few people and asked them to follow the people who landed in the fleet to return to the fleet by boat.

Although they did not build ships in the New World, they still explored the waters outside the dock when they came into contact with the Yindian people's ships.

This is what Zhu Yunwen, Sun Cheng and others were planning to do from the beginning. Once the imperial court wanted to vigorously develop the New World, they would not only send teams over the way they came, but there would also be fleets on the sea looking for a way out.

So they built a dock and explored a channel outside the dock into the deep water area.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng stood at the front of the pier.

Not long after, we saw the fleet starting to line up and sail slowly towards the dock.

First up is the first steam warship belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Under the guidance of several small boats put into the water, the warship finally stopped at the dock with waves of waves.

Zhu Shou had already changed into his marquis court uniform at this time, with the embroidery pattern on his face and his teeth and claws showing, making him look majestic.

Behind him, officials from various ministries and departments whose names were changed to Ming Dynasty officials followed closely, and finally came well-equipped naval officers and soldiers.

This kind of scene is naturally very familiar to Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng.

But for the Yin Di'an people here, it is an unprecedented scene.

The big ship docked at the dock as tall as a mountain, with its chimney spewing thick smoke.

There is a queue on the sea, which seems to be an endless fleet.

These gorgeously dressed people, those officers and soldiers covered in armor.

All this gave them a huge impact.

What those people said is true!

On the other side of the sea, there is a powerful and fertile heaven.

Because of the constant fighting that had occurred, the Yin Di'an people, who had temporarily wavered in their attachment to Zhu Yunzhen and the others, almost had their eyes popping out at this time.

All this is true.

That also means that they can really live a good life that can only be found in the kingdom of heaven.

Their choice was not wrong.

The fault lies with those other ethnic groups in the Great Plains who are unwilling to submit to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng came forward, and the two of them bowed: "Marquis Shunshang..."

Before Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shunyuan, had already stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hands to hold Zhu Yunwen's arms.

After straightening Zhu Yunwen up.

Zhu Shou's face perked up, his expression was solemn, and he stretched out his right hand.

An official from the Ministry of Rites behind him immediately took out an imperial edict from a wooden box.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng looked at each other.

I know this is a new decree from the imperial court.

Zhu Shou unfolded the imperial edict and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Yunzhen, Sun Cheng, accept the edict."

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng immediately knelt down in public.

Behind the two of them, all the Ming soldiers knelt down. The surrounding Yin Di'an people saw these heavenly people kneeling down. Although they didn't know why they did this, they still chose to imitate and kneel on the ground.

Only then did Zhu Shou lower his brows and prepare to read out the decree.

"Feng, Tian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: The universe is vast, the heaven and the earth are so big, it is not just the Central Plains. The new land explored by the country today is an outpost, and the country must not forget it. Zhu Yunwen, governor of the new continent, is responsible for the military affairs of the new continent, and governor of the new Jinling. Sun Cheng

He was given the title of Commander of the Jinyiweidu, a bullfighting uniform, and was rewarded with three thousand acres of fertile farmland in southern Zhili, which provided the shade for a hundred Jinyiwei households. The rest were promoted to three ranks, rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and a thousand acres of farmland opened up in the New World."

Starting from Zhu Yunwen, everyone was promoted to a higher position.

In an instant, the dock was boiling again.

Many brave soldiers in the army cried with joy and tears filled their eyes.

The imperial court knew their difficulties, and even more so their efforts.

Zhu Yunwen was still a little confused at this time.

Governor of the new continent, important military affairs, governor of the new Jinling, what kind of errands are these?

He didn't understand that there had never been such official positions in the Ming Dynasty.

But Sun Cheng was so excited that his whole body trembled.

He actually became the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Although he only had an official title and no actual duties. But once the current commander of the Jinyiwei, Jiang Wei, resigned, he would be the most likely person to take over the Jinyiwei.

And the three thousand acres of fertile land in southern Zhili and the hundreds of households with one son and one son, Jin Yiwei, gave his Sun family an opportunity to flourish.

As for the others, those who have been promoted to the third rank will probably have to wait until they return to Beijing before being transferred to the army and placed in appropriate positions. And the thousands of acres of fertile land in the New World will probably adopt the method of Jiaozhi Road.

The New World officials managed it on their behalf, and the imperial court transferred money and grain to them.

No matter what, everyone got what they deserved.

Zhu Shou stepped forward at this time, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yunwen up, and delivered the imperial edict into his hands.

"From now on, the governor will be the official governor. Everything in the New World will be decided by the governor alone. How much rewards the imperial court can obtain in the New World will all depend on the governor."

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly.

The decree did not mention that he would restore his clan identity and status, but from what Zhu Shou said, this governor of the New World seemed to be something extraordinary.

Sun Cheng glanced at Zhu Yunwen, stepped forward and asked from the side: "I don't know what the purpose of this decree from the imperial court is? What is this New Jinling?"

Zhu Shou smiled and explained: "This is Taisun's wish. At that time, the news here was sent back to the capital, and Taisun made the decision. The New World will not have Daofu County for the time being, but the New World will be established.

The Governor's Yamen is responsible for all affairs in the New World. As for New Jinling, the imperial court hopes to build a city here, and the name is New Jinling."

As he spoke, Zhu Shou looked at the walled city behind the pier.

The look in his eyes spoke for itself.

Zhu Yunwen, the Governor-General of the New Continent, was responsible for all political affairs in the North American continent.
