Chapter 271 Plan to carve up the Golden State

It's not that it can't go any faster, but this big ship is different from the previous paper carriage. Although it floats on the sea, it takes a lot of energy to move. Xie Zihao can only maintain such speed with the help of the thrust of the sail.

This also requires Xie Hongyuan and others to take turns to help inject mana in order to keep moving forward day and night.

Fortunately, this speed has exceeded all the fast ships in the world, and is faster than the modern ships of later generations. It only takes about three days to reach the coast of Jinzhou.

Most of the people on the ship entered the mirror space in the cabin. The space inside was large enough, and there were materials collected by everyone in Chile and food provided by Xie Zihao, which was enough for the army to eat for ten and a half days.

Those who lived in the cabin were all members of the Taiping Army. Xie Zihao and several other senior officials lived in the topmost cabin.

At this time, a group of people were discussing the plan after the ship landed.

"Hongmen means that after the internal war breaks out in the White Eagle Federation, we will raise the flag to start trouble. By then, those foreigners will have no time to worry about anything else, and it will be convenient for us!"

Hearing these words, several generals from the old Kingdom of Heaven nodded their heads.

In addition to several brigade commanders from Xie Hongyuan's group, there are also officers from several other units. Of course, the highest one is just the brigade commander, so this mixed old army of heaven has Xie Hongyuan as its highest leader.

There are two high-ranking civil servants, who are said to be distant relatives of some royal family member, but they are also sensible and know that Xie Hongyuan has the highest rank among the generals, the strongest strength, and the prestige is far beyond his own.

Moreover, the kingdom of heaven has been destroyed, and their backers have been chopped into pieces by the golden demon, so they no longer dare to stand out in this strange land thousands of miles away.

Therefore, the two of them had no intention of seizing power based on their status, so they were arranged by Xie Hongyuan to become Lao Liang's deputy, responsible for administrative and logistical work.

These two people are also satisfied, because it is obvious that if they can really open a new country overseas in the future, Lao Liang will obviously be the leader of the civil service. If the two of them get along well, they will at least be in the position of three ministers and nine ministers, which is a level that they never dared to think about before.

They thought it was a good thing, and of course they would not give up on their success as a dragon, so they were very active and diligent in doing things.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Xie Zihao said again:

"My thoughts are basically the same as those at Hongmen. Since we want to establish a country overseas, we have to consider how to establish a foothold. With these nearly five thousand old brothers from the Kingdom of Heaven, we can definitely conquer Jinzhou, but how about conquering it?

How to run a country well if you can defend it? Have you ever considered this issue?"

His words aroused deep thought among everyone present.

It's just that most of the people present are not political talents, and they don't have a clue at the moment.

After a while, I saw Xie Hongyuan and said:

"My dear nephew, since you can raise this question and you probably have an idea, don't be too pretentious and tell us your opinion!"

Xie Zihao bowed slightly to this cheap uncle and said:

"I don't dare to take it seriously. What I mean is that since we have decided to occupy Jinzhou and establish a country there, the first thing we must consider is the right time, right place, and right people."

"Tianshi is the dispute within the White Eagle Federation. As long as there is a war over there, our actions to seize the Golden State will not be interfered by the east for at least a year or two. After all, the civil war does not stop at the drop of a hat!

"

"Secondly, we also occupy a favorable location. Excluding the gold diggers here in the Golden State, the real population of White Eagle is less than 30,000. And because of the vast area of ​​the North American continent, it is simply impossible to send large troops across the North American continent by land.

Yes, a small team came here just to deliver food to us!"

Everyone present laughed when they heard this.

Xie Zihao continued: "So when the people of the White Eagle Federation calm down and prepare to send troops to attack, they will definitely have to come by sea and by boat. In this way, after capturing Jinzhou, we will have to consider the issue of coastal defense."

Seeing that everyone present looked thoughtful, Xie Zihao calmed down and said:

"The last issue is people and people. This is our advantage, but we also have some troubles."

Lao Liang was considered an orthodox scholar. Although he only had a childish voice, he had been a military advisor for many years and his thoughts moved faster than others. He immediately said:

"Sir, you mean that side of Hongmen?"

Here, the title "sir" does not mean future generations, but is an honorific title for people who are more knowledgeable than themselves, and some of them regard themselves as disciples.

Because of Xie Zihao's special status, other than Xie Hongyuan, it was difficult for anyone else to call him, so they simply called him Mr. This way, they would not lose respect for this powerful savior.

After hearing Lao Liang's words, Xie Hongyuan and others also changed their expressions.

Xie Zihao nodded to the military officer and said:

"The military advisor is right. Although Hongmen is a great help to us, after the two families jointly conquer Jinzhou, there will inevitably be disagreements over sharing the spoils. And no one wants to give up the territory they have won to Hongmen for nothing, right?

"

Several brigade commanders on Xie Hongyuan's side immediately quit their jobs.

"Of course not, why..."

"Yes, I am a life-and-death killer, why can a bunch of gangsters gain territory?"

The brigade commander from another department also said with a serious face:

"Even if we want to establish a country and become the king and the master of a country, then only we, Master Xie, are qualified to do it. Who else can take the turn of those Jianghu gangs?"

"That's right!"

Everyone agreed. There was indeed no one present who was more suitable to be the future leader of the country than Xie Hongyuan.

Xie Zihao had already thought of the current problem, and when he saw that everyone had vented their emotions, he said:

"Listen to me, everyone. Since everyone is unwilling to succumb to others, Hongmen must have similar ideas. Then I think it is better to divide the territory before raising the flag. Anyway, the New World is vast enough, and the west is even more

There are still large areas of uninhabited land in several provinces of China. When the time comes, you can just fight for the territory you want. There is no need to start trouble with Hongmen and let foreigners see the joke. Do you think that is right?

"

Xie Hongyuan slapped the table.

"My nephew is right. Some of us have muskets and can establish a foothold anywhere. There is no need to fight with those in Hongmen. After all, we are all compatriots. Even my nephew, do you have any ideas on how to divide the territory?"

Xie Zihao stretched out his hand on the table and a map of North America appeared on the table.

Then he drew a horizontal line focusing on the location of Golden State.

"I think it's better to use this as a boundary and divide Jinzhou into two parts. The upper Jinzhou will go to Hongmen, and the lower Jinzhou will be occupied by us."

Lao Liang also expressed his opinion after seeing it:

"It's feasible. Since Hongmen has the convenience of operating in the Upper Golden State for many years, let's give them San Francisco and Salamento, and let's go and eat the hard nut of Los Angeles!"

Seeing some people frowning, Xie Zihao explained:

"You must know that although the bones are hard, there is also a lot of meat on them. Although the number of foreigners in the Luocheng area is several times that in the north, the gold mine is a newly discovered vein with large reserves. The geographical location is also good, close to Brother Modu, and the population is higher than above.

There are more than 10,000 gold diggers from the Tang Dynasty in both places, and there are many gold mines waiting to be mined."

When it comes to gold mines, the brigade commanders present are all excited. Even those who were dissatisfied with this proposal now tend to choose the territory of Jinzhou.

Because gold has been the most precious universal currency in human society since ancient times.

When Xie Zihao saw that the fire was almost done, he continued:

"And who told you that you can't expand outward after dividing your territory?"

"There are a lot of unclaimed lands in the North American continent. When you occupy the lower Jinzhou, you can definitely find a way to transport people from the middle of the country. There are still a lot of remnants of the Kingdom of Heaven and remnants of the Nian Army waiting for you to rescue them.

, as well as the refugees who have no food to eat, if we transport 100,000 people here in advance, we can initially establish a foothold on the west coast."

"If hundreds of thousands of people can be transported over, then the West Coast will not be afraid of various challenges from the White Eagle Kingdom! Whether it is expanding to the south, east or north, there will be enough manpower, and then the gold will be taken.

It is not impossible to surround Hongmen's territory north of the state!"

I'm feeling much better today, and I think I'm about to recover. Thank you for your support! I hope everyone can get through this difficult time and stay healthy in the future.
