Chapter 62 The Coming Collision

This is a land given by God, and it seems to be a land without a border. Our luck is so good. It seems that I am here to run when I was Leslie!

As the captain of Mayflower, Leslie also seemed very excited.

Yes, now all European countries have their own tacit understanding. In this era, as long as you discover a land without a border, who will this place belong to?

At the same time, it also belongs to the country where the occupier is located.

If Leslie and the others discovered Manhattan Island, as long as no other Europeans discovered it, it means that the fertile plains in this area will belong to him and Leslie and these people.

It is obvious that this plain is very vast and the land is very fertile. It is definitely a good fertile land, as long as you have the ability to cultivate it.

In the UK now, prices are soaring, and people are living in poverty. If it weren’t for this, they wouldn’t have come to the New World to find a way out.

In the UK, those lands were even more controlled by the great nobles, and it was impossible for civilians to own land.

Now this Manhattan Island, which seems to be a borderless land, appeared in front of Leslie and the others.

"I wonder if this land is already inhabited?"

Leslie muttered softly, then put away the thin sword in his hand.

It was impossible to hide anything on the Great Plains of Manhattan Island. After his observation, no trace of the enemy was found, so Leslie was no longer so nervous.

Father Matthew followed Leslie, and because he stood very close, he heard Leslie talking to himself.

"Captain Leslie, according to the current regulations of various countries, as long as it is determined that this land does not belong to other countries, then this land will belong to Her Majesty the Queen. Of course, as discoverers, we will become the owners of this land."

Father Matthew's eyes also showed a very fanatical spirit at this time.

It’s not that he is greedy for land and wealth, but that he needs land to build a church. After all, if he owns a piece of land of his own, then he will save a lot of trouble if he builds a church. If he can have more land to plant some crops, the church’s funds can be solved.

"I hope so, maybe I can still become a nobleman, maybe it may not be."

Leslie smiled and said to Father Matthew.

Yes, Captain Leslie is not a dream, if Manhattan Island does not belong to anyone. Then Captain Leslie, as the discoverer, could indeed be canonized by the queen because he is the discoverer.

Of course, if there are gold or silver mines nearby, Leslie will be more favored.

But no matter what, expanding territory for the Queen is ultimately a rewarding thing.

The clerk who was accompanying the ship came over with a hardwood paper scroll at this time and asked Leslie to sign his name.

Clerks like this are equipped with one on each ship, and they are assigned personnel. Their functions are to record routes with the ship and to be certified when new unmanned land is discovered.

Now, what the clerk did is to confirm the ownership of this land.

After signing his name, Leslie said to the clerk wearing a dark black sè suit: "It's too early to sign the autograph. What if someone has discovered this land?"

Yes, this is the thing that worries Leslie the most.

"It's not a problem at all, it's just a waste. But Captain Leslie, you don't have to worry about anything. According to what I know, no one seems to have discovered the land here, which means Captain Leslie, you are the first to discover this land. I want to congratulate you."

The clerk placed his right hand on his lower abdomen and bowed slightly to Leslie.

What the clerk said is very credible because they must memorize the islands, names and ownership found by various countries, which cannot be made at all.

Now that the clerk dares to say this and takes out a blank scroll for Leslie to sign, it can prove that this guy is sure to prove that this is a land of no border.

The clerk said so, what else is there to worry about Leslie?

"After going back, the Queen will definitely reward you for your contribution to the country. I will congratulate you here first. This is a fertile land, and it will be a good pastoral place as long as it is cultivated."

The reason why Leslie was asked to sign was because he was the highest-ranking person among these people.

It is always hard for clerks to let the poor sign.

"I hope there will be no natives here, otherwise it will be really troublesome."

Leslie raised his hand and touched his bearded man.

After confirming that there was no danger, Leslie immediately ordered some of his subordinates to take the women on the boat down.

At this point, the new immigrants on Mayflower and the pioneers of the Americas have truly landed in Manhattan.

"Charles!"

Captain Leslie shouted, and a young man in leather armor and carrying a spear ran over.

"Captain Leslie, what are you asking for?"

On the face of this young man named Charles, there was a god of excitement and happiness.

Captain Leslie understood very well after looking at him.

After all, although this large area of ​​Borderlands was signed by Leslie, these people also need to be divided into some of them. Because this is something that everyone discovered together and he cannot take it alone.

At most, when returning to England, the Queen would give herself a chance to manage this uninhabited land.

And these crew members suddenly became owners of a large area of ​​land from proletarians. How could you make them unhappy or excited?

The land here is at least hundreds of thousands of acres, and there may even be more.

After this division, everyone can get a lot of land and become a landlord class.

It can be said that their identities have begun to change.

Even if they don’t want the land here, they don’t want to come back in the future. Then they can sell it when they return to the UK, and replace it with yellow and orange gold coins and put it in their pockets to be a rich man for a few days.

"I'll tell the crew members of Mayflower to quit. We'll go to explore the surrounding areas soon and confirm that there will be no other people. Of course, the main purpose is to see if there are any indigenous people."

Leslie cannot do the same as the crew and Mayflower passengers. He must keep a clear mind and mind, and immediately take the next step to eliminate possible potential dangers.

After answering, Charles ran to the crowd of people who were gathered in the crew and shouted: "Everyone is calm, we are ready to explore this area, everyone is ready to have weapons."

With Charles' shouts, the crew members of the Mayflower stood up.

The immigrants who came here on Mayflower were busy and did not participate.

They are just ordinary people and have no interest in exploring surrounding areas. Besides, they also know that the so-called "exploration" is actually to find the natives, and then massacre them and rob their gold and materials.

The immigration of Mayflower is not interested in this kind of thing, and Leslie will not let them participate,

Otherwise, how could Leslie tell Charles to just call the crew of the Mayflower?

Logically speaking, more manpower should be needed at this time, so civilians with certain combat effectiveness and weapons can also be summoned into the team.

But why didn't Leslie do this?

The reason is simple, Leslie doesn't think there is anything scary about the natives.

Although Leslie's crew is only a mere forty people, he doesn't believe that he can't solve some indigenous people with good weapons, armor and training.

You know, even the Spanish, who was weak in their eyes, could conquer the Inca Empire with hundreds of people. Is he Leslie not as good as the Spanish?

And now that Britain has defeated the Spaniards, their self-confidence is at its strongest time.

After hearing Captain Leslie's words conveyed by Charles, his eyes were all shining.

Because they know very well what they are going to do next.

Explore the surrounding areas and find the tribes of the indigenous people. If the indigenous people are very powerful, then even if the Mayflower and others are in trouble, but if the indigenous people are very weak... it is time for them to get rich.

In this idea, anyone who is willing to join the fleet or sail is a poor man. They dream of getting rich, and as for how to get rich or what means to use, no one cares.

Soon, the Mayflower crews were arranged neatly.

The people carrying the spear walked in the front, behind them were soldiers holding cross swords, cross axes and nail-headed cones, and at the end were thirteen soldiers with cones of the cones.

Captain Leslie had a European sword on the left side of his waist and a Persian scimitar on the right.

The clerk did not follow, so he would not participate in such a thing.

But Father Matthew volunteered to join Captain Leslie's team, and he told Leslie that he needed to contact the natives and spread glory by the way.

Leslie had no choice but to let him join in.

But as for whether the matter is really as Father Matthew said, only Father Matthew himself can know.

Father, he is also very greedy for money in this era, right?

Assembled his own team, Leslie ordered them to walk northwards in a mighty manner.

At this time, the sentry who reported the news also told Song Hu about his discovery, and then Song Hu notified Zhao Hongyu.

"What! A ship came from the southern coast, and many Europeans came down and landed!"

After listening to Song Hu's report, Zhao Hongyu's face was terrifying.

Elder Samara and the others had already left Manhattan Island. Zhao Hongyu had just rested, and Song Hu hurriedly ran over to report the news that he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Did they choose a new place to go to the Virginia colony?

Or maybe the matter of killing Baker was exposed?

Zhao Hongyu thought about a lot of reasons, but in the end he rejected them all.

Please ignore them, love whoever you love! This territory belongs to me, no matter who comes, you have to look at my face!

"I order to assemble the Manhattan Guards!"
