Chapter 478: Crowned King Overseas.
Chapter 478: Crowned King Overseas.
Ye Kun also looked towards Changdao Island in the East China Sea and said with a smile:
"That place should be unified now. There are only some local tyrants and mountain kings. Oh, and there are also a group of local dwarfs and some Chinese immigrants..."
"Why would a Chinese person go there?" Jiang Yourong asked.
"Let's go by boat."
Ye Kun pointed at the map and said, "It is said that several hundred years ago, during the Wu-Yue hegemony period, fishermen from Wu and Yue migrated to Changdao Island in the East China Sea by boat. The first emperor of the previous dynasty sent people to look for the elixir of immortality. As a result, a big liar asked for 3,000 boys and girls, a lot of grain seeds, and hundreds of craftsmen, and went to Changdao Island in the East China Sea, and never returned.
The original inhabitants of the island were all short people. Later, they were improved by the Chinese, and now they should be taller. "
Youcai smiled and said, "The Dwarf Country is quite interesting. Brother-in-law, can we go to the Dwarf Country to play in the future?"
"You are talented. Do you want to be the queen?"
Ye Kun suddenly asked out of the blue.
He Quan was startled and his face changed.
He thought that Ye Kun wanted to steal his wife and make her the queen in the future!
Youcai was also confused: "What queen?"
"I can let you and He Quan go to Changdao Island in the East China Sea. Then, He Quan will be the emperor and you will be the queen."
Ye Kun shifted his gaze to the Jizui Peninsula and said, "After I take over the Jizui Peninsula, the next target will be Changdao Island in the East China Sea. We have large sea ships and can get there in a few days."
Jiang Youcai smiled and said, "Then she can only be a queen, not an empress. When my brother-in-law becomes the emperor, my sister will be the empress."
Ye Kun laughed, pointed at He Quan and Jiang Youcai and said:
"Then it's a deal. I will make He Quan the King of East China Sea, and Youcai the Queen of East China Sea. They will reside on Changdao Island in East China Sea for generations as part of the great Chinese nation."
Jiang Youcai chuckled and said, "That requires you to call back."
"Just wait. It won't take five years."
Ye Kun is very confident.
Now the main focus is on dealing with Jiaozhi, otherwise, Ye Kun’s navy can easily capture the Jizui Peninsula and Changdao Island in the East China Sea.
There were no opponents there and the indigenous people had no power to fight.
He Quan was actually very moved, and it could be seen from his expression.
On the third day of the New Year, Ye Kun hosted a banquet for Gongsun Zhang and his son, Sang Buzhi, Guan Bao and nine ministers.
In the middle of the banquet hall, there is a huge globe with a diameter of more than one meter.
When the wine was in high spirits, Ye Kun pointed at the globe and said with a smile:
“There are many new continents overseas, which are much larger than the current area of our China.
For example, the large island in the south (Australia Island) is as large as China. The pyrite on the island is much better than the iron ore in China. One pound of stone there can produce seven ounces of steel.
For example, this new continent in the West Sea is divided into the South Continent and the North Continent, each of which is larger than our China.
There is also a Black Continent, which has many black people. The continent is as large as three Chinese countries. "
Sang Buyi said with a smile: "King of Han, have you drunk too much? It seems like you have said this a hundred times."
Everyone snickered.
"You, just push me."
Ye Kun rolled his eyes and said, "I have said this a hundred times, but today, I will tell you something different."
Everyone became excited.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I said a few days ago that everyone wants to be an emperor. If a man says he doesn't want to be an emperor, he must be lying. Now I have a way to make all of you here become emperors in the future.
That is, go overseas and be the emperor, and do whatever you want. In this way, we, the descendants of the Chinese nation, the descendants of Yan and Huang, can conquer the whole world."
No one dared to speak and everyone lowered their heads.
Gongsun Zhang said with a smile: "The whole world belongs to the king. When the king of Han ascends the throne, even the land overseas will belong to the king of Han."
"Your Majesty, you must know that with our current strength, we can't manage it at all. Even if Emperor Wu is reborn, he can't manage overseas. Even if he manages for a hundred years, he will still lose it in the end."
Ye Kun looked at everyone and said, "I am speaking from the heart. If we want to turn overseas territories into farmland for the descendants of the Chinese nation, we can only do so by large-scale immigration, and then crowning ourselves as kings overseas and developing on our own."
Ye Kun really couldn’t finish such a big cake.
Even if we have large steam-powered ships in the future and can conquer the world, we will not be able to control the world.
For example, the several thousand people who remain in the New World in the West Sea and the South and North New World will definitely sweep away the local indigenous people.
The commander of the army is calling himself the emperor, and you are going to bite him?
They have the knowledge and technology to use local resources and manpower to quickly build an empire. If you go across the ocean to deal with them, you might be destroyed by them!
So considering the long term, Ye Kun felt that it would be better to give up the overseas enclaves.
He would be satisfied as long as he controlled the Jiaozhi Peninsula and the Tianzhu Peninsula, leased the Middle East, and occupied the oil resources.
South America, North America, Africa, and Australia, all of them have been given away.
Given to Gongsun Shangfei, Yu Guinong, He Quan and others.
As for whether they will still recognize the ancestors of the Chinese people a thousand years later, it depends on God's will.
Gongsun Shangfei was very moved, and asked with a fist: "King of Han, is what you said... true?"
"It's absolutely true."
Ye Kun pointed at several continents and said, "I have spent my entire life trying to control these overseas continents, but I still cannot do so. You are different. Once you go there, you will treat them as your own territory and work hard to manage them. Those barbaric lands are easy to conquer. With the intelligence and management skills of the Chinese people, we will definitely thrive."
South America had not yet produced bronze ware until a thousand years later. Weapons were made of stone, cow bones, obsidian...
The huge Inca Empire in history, with a population of tens of millions, was conquered by a group of foreign thugs, just over a hundred people.
There are definitely indigenous people on the Australian island now, but it is hard to say whether there is real civilization.
To be sure, there were no words there.
Because in later times, before the British colonized Australia, it had no history.
Gongsun Shangfei continued to be tempted and asked, "King of Han, which of these overseas continents do you think is the best?"
"It's all good, and it's all bad."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Australia has iron ore resources that the whole world can use for 10,000 years and still not run out. There are a lot of wild animals, so you don't need to raise pigs, as you can't eat all the meat. But the weather is hot, and we will have a period of acclimatization if we immigrate there.
It’s even hotter here in Heizhou. After a year, it’s possible that our descendants will also be tanned black.
There will be typhoons in the West Sea and the South and North continents, and they will be very scary winds.
If we talk about the best places in the world, apart from our Central Plains of China, they are the Jiaozhi Peninsula, the Tianzhu Peninsula, and the vast land to the west of the Western Regions.
But no matter how bad the overseas continent is, it is still better than the Western Regions, the Western Qiang Region, the Southern Wilderness Region, and the northern prairie."
Yu Guinong was also tempted and asked, "Does the King of Han mean to confer a title of kingship overseas and have it be hereditary?"
Ye Kun was very generous: "Yes, it will be hereditary. And I will help you conquer the overseas continent, and I will give it to you after I conquer it. You can also go and take a look first, and then make a decision."
As he was talking, Tan Bamao came to report: "Godfather, the vanguard of the long-distance fleet, more than a dozen captains, have arrived in Xuchang and want to report their work to you."
