Chapter 714: Eating salmon to extinction (please subscribe!)

Zhu Kezang looked at the famous shipbuilder Huang Du, "I order: Starting from this month, the Anping Armory will postpone other tasks and make every effort to build one hundred Yugong-type ships!"

"No, Your Majesty!"

Then there is no plan to build the first batch of ships. Is it possible to build an additional 200 ships in the future?

"Everyone, please come with me on the boat to visit the East."

While everyone was visiting the Tianzi Wharf (the main ship was an official ship, the reception was Chongqi), at the Huangpu Wharf on the other side of Guangzhou, there was already an upsurge of immigration to Yinzhou (America).

Yinzhou is not the name of Ming Dynasty America.

After the bachelor's conference in Guangdong, businessmen in Guangdong established Yinzhou Immigration Company and Yinzhou Development Company one after another.

We all support Zhu Kezangdong’s decision.

The big cities of the New Ming Dynasty are all beautiful, with opportunities everywhere, but there are also dark places where the sun doesn't shine.

The development of Ming Dynasty is too unbalanced now. The advanced places are very advanced and the backward places are very backward.

People are pouring into the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta to work. They are just like the family to the east, who were promoted by the immigration company and prepared to go overseas to survive from the poor valley.

Song Fugui was holding on to a rough hemp rope, carrying a patched and torn baggage, and supporting his mother-in-law. His silly son and ugly daughter followed behind, and the four members of the family were tied up with hemp ropes.

There is no way, that will not prevent the family from getting lost. There are too many people, crowded here and there, and it will be troublesome for the family to get lost.

Now, their family finally arrived at Huangpu Pier.

If you get on the boat, you can reach Yinzhou, the legendary land full of gold.

Bang bang bang!

That's the sound of a whip hitting the bluestone floor.

That voice sent chills down the spines of many Hunan landless peasants and mountain people who, together with Song Fugui, begged to go to Yinzhou to make a living.

The vicious company employee didn't beat anyone very much, he just kept urging everyone to pay.

Unless some of the future Yinzhou immigrants make trouble, they will really do something wrong.

Song Fuyan's family was very satisfied, because whenever it was time to eat, the staff of the immigration company would rush everyone to eat. The east train was slow and they were scolded a lot.

After all, if you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain.

"Let's go, let's go! Get ready to board the ship. We'll have a good confinement when we get to the New World!"

"Well, Yinzhou is great. I heard it is comparable to Jiangnan! The bison herds in the wild are enough to feed them for several years!"

The staff of the immigration company saw some people hesitating when boarding the ship. After all, once they go, they will leave the land of China.

I have heard about whether I have started drawing cakes, and I don’t know if it is true or not.

The employees of that company heard that the land there was so fertile that no one had cultivated it at all. The local indigenous people had very few iron tools and were very backward.

Anyway, there are no good words to attract people.

"Hurry up and follow."

Song Fugui hurriedly turned to look at his stupid son and ugly daughter and whispered, asking to know what kind of unpredictable fate awaited them.

They took old-style sailing ships and sailed across the ocean toward the wonderful new world.

That group of immigrants were all on their way to the first stronghold in the Ming Dynasty's New World: the Jinshan Governor-General.

Along the large river named Jinshan River (San Joaquin River) to the east, more and more houses are rising from the ground, and these houses can be left for subsequent immigrants.

Every autumn and winter in Jinshan River, densely packed salmon will flow upstream from the ocean along the entrance of Jinshan River.

Those migrating salmon, also known as salmon, made a significant contribution to the first batch of immigrants in the new Ming Empire.

Even in the New World, when there was a shortage of food due to extreme weather, the delicious Jinshan River salmon became the staple food of the Ming immigrants.

Sorry, there is no cold chain transportation technology in Ming Dynasty. Zhu Kezang from China cannot enjoy delicious salmon sashimi.

The people of the Ming Dynasty have always been grateful, so at this time, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty built a salmon statue in the square near the mouth of the Jinshan River and named the village Salmon Village.

At the same time, every year in early October is a special festival for the Ming Dynasty people in the New World. The name is easy to remember: it is called Thanksgiving.

It’s almost the same thing as Red Man’s Thanksgiving.

In 1620, more than 100 poor English immigrants took the "Mayflower" ship to land in Plymouth, Massachusetts, North America in order to seek a way to survive.

It was approaching severe winter, and those who lacked food were suffering from hunger and cold.

The Indians, the owners of that land, brought turkeys, ducks, venison, wheat, pumpkins, corn, fruits, seafood and other foods to help the more than 100 people come east. According to the history of the United States, the following year

In November, both parties held their first thanksgiving banquet.

Later, the British guided Dong Dong under the guidance of an Indian named Scontu. They planted corn and other crops in Dong Dong and obtained a bumper harvest, which enabled them to survive from desperate situations.

In 1623, the Red Immigrants celebrated "Thanksgiving" again (the land that had been dry for a long time was moistened by rain, thanking the emperor).

However, the feast in 1621 was still not the main event, so a month was chosen to celebrate it every year. Plymouth became the birthplace of Thanksgiving, and Lincoln designated it as the official holiday month.

Later, those red men almost wiped out the Indians.

Is it true that the people of the Ming Dynasty were grateful for salmon, because later the migratory salmon in the Jinshan River and the Jinsha River in the north (Fraser River in Vancouver) were almost eaten to extinction by the Ming Dynasty!

The Yinzhou Colony of the Ming Dynasty has not yet expanded to Vancouver. Vancouver's mother river is the Fraser River, which is the place with the largest number of migratory salmon in the world. It has not been "disastered" by Ming immigrants.

Back to Jinshan City (San Francisco), its urban architecture is now in shape, and a stable fortress has been initially established.

The current Jinshan City is based on the four large villages distributed in a square shape. The outer city walls surround the villages.

Those villages are basically the outer city of Jinshan City.

In order to reduce the transportation pressure, some civil construction materials are not transported to Yinzhou locally, so they can be obtained locally.

The building materials used in the city wall there are also very primitive: they use the most common logs in the surrounding forests. Thousands of logs are tied together with wires, and the small half is buried in the soil, and the large half is buried in the ground.

The spaces between the rows of logs were filled with rammed earth, and a platform was built on top. The spaces between the exterior walls were painted with a mixture of shell powder and yellow mud to prevent fire.

It is very strong, no less defensive than a city wall covered with bricks and earth, but it is inferior to the mainstream bamboo-reinforced concrete buildings of the Ming Dynasty.

On the outside of the city wall, the Ming immigrants dug a trench two feet wide and one foot deep, and installed forts on the city wall. At the same time, there were several hot air balloons flying into the sky, always watching the surrounding movements. Jinshan City is currently impregnable.

.

The bright moon flag is flying high on the city wall tower. If you look closely, you will find that there are red lanterns hanging on the tower, because the New Year of 1692 is coming!

There are 8,000 strong men outside the city, and there are 500 women. The ratio of men to women is seriously imbalanced!

So that when the strong men there reach childbearing age, they have to marry local Indians who look like yellow races.

Yes, the Ming Dynasty called them Yin Di'an people.

"I heard from the governor that the Yin people tribe is asking to organize a bonfire party with their Ming people in Salmon Square to celebrate the Ming New Year. Do you want to go?"

"No, he's tired of salmon!"

"There is a girl from Yin."

"torch!"
