The most arrogant in history

Ye Kun laughed: "We have already started to control the new continents in the north and south of the West Sea. Song Kui, Song Poliu's cousin, has entered the South Continent of the West Sea for twenty years.

Our corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and rubber trees were all introduced from the New World in the West Sea.”

Xie Baochan frowned and said, "But, Song Kui and the others haven't come back for several years, right?"

Ye Kun nodded: "It has been several years since the West Sea Expeditionary Fleet came back, but I told them not to come back. Although they haven't come back for several years and we haven't sent anyone over, we still maintain telegraphic communication."

Ye Kun is now unable to take care of South America and North America.

Song Kui's most important mission when he went to South America was to find rubber tree seeds, sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes.

These tasks were completed many years ago.

At that time, Song Kui led more than 3,000 warriors across the Atlantic Ocean.

Later, seven hundred of them returned, and another seven or eight hundred stayed on the southern mainland of Xihai.

Everyone else is dead.

After the introduction of crops such as rubber and sweet potatoes, Ye Kun also sent three sailing teams to the West Sea and the southern mainland, with a total of more than 6,000 people, to strengthen Song Kui's power.

Only 4,600 people finally arrived at the southern mainland of Xihai and joined Song Kui.

After landing, they contracted diseases due to unfamiliar climate and water, and more than a thousand people died.

There are still about 3,500 Chinese immigrants in the New World of the West Sea, most of them young people.

These immigrants also started families and had children.

The immigrants and their children number about five thousand.

According to Song Kui's report, they had already taken root there and ruled over the local indigenous people.

They also built two cities and lived a comfortable life.

Because the New World has abundant resources and a small population, there is no need to farm. People can eat and drink their fill just by simple gathering.

The indigenous people of the West Sea Continent are still uncivilized and are almost like savages.

The technological civilization brought by Song Kui and others was like a god in the eyes of the natives.

There is another special phenomenon in the West China Sea and the southern mainland: the wheel has not been invented, so there are no cars.

There were no horses there yet.

There are only alpacas, commonly known as grass mud horses.

Alpaca can also be ridden, but it is very slow and can only carry women and half-grown children.

The Alpaca could not bear the heavy weight of the big and strong man.

There were still hundreds of war horses left from the war that Song Kui brought with him at that time. Now there are thousands of them, which can roam the plains of the continent.

Ye Kun instructed Song Kui not to rush to occupy the territory, but to first consider adapting to the environment, surviving, and expanding.

Because there is no point in occupying territory in the New World of the West Sea.

The local natives have no fixed place to live, no concept of territory, and even less of a country or a court.

They go wherever it is easy to collect food.

Song Kui controlled 70,000 to 80,000 local natives by spreading technology, exchanging goods, and using the threat of force, and began to educate them, and has now achieved initial results.

Many young natives have learned simple Chinese and can even write a few Chinese characters, so they can communicate without any hindrance.

A few years ago, Song Kui sent a telegram, hoping that the court would give him another 20,000 young men and women so that he could expand his territory and explore for mineral resources in the New World.

Ye Kun didn't agree.

Ye Kun told him that even if you find mineral resources, it would not be easy to refine them there. Even if you refine them, it would not be easy to transport them back because they are across the ocean. Even if you transport them back, it may not be cost-effective.

Ye Kun also knew that there were huge gold and silver mines in the New World.

But considering all factors, it is not worth it to develop, refine and transport it back.

Song Kui was probably dissatisfied with this, and he sent fewer and fewer telegrams afterwards, only once a month to report that he was safe.

Wei Caiqin said: "The West Sea New World is too far away from us. Song Kui has people under his command, weapons, and technology. Will he become the king and emperor there and dominate the West Sea New World?

If Song Kui really proclaimed himself emperor in Xihai, refused to submit to China, and refused to respect China as his motherland, what would the court do? "

Ye Kun laughed and said, "No way. Song Kui only has a few thousand Han people under him. How can he be emperor? Even if he is emperor, it is meaningless. Isn't that just a monkey in a human costume?"

If he dares to proclaim himself emperor with only a few thousand men under his command, isn't that just playing house?

Wen Axiu said, "The Queen's worries are not without reason. Song Kui and others brought the civilization and technology of our Chinese country. Through the efforts of one or two generations, they can completely rule the local natives.

At that time, the Han people plus the natives had a population of over a million. With a population of over a million and vast fertile land, Song Kui was bound to have ambitions.

Dai Xi smiled and said, "Even if Song Kui becomes emperor, it won't affect us. He is so far away, across the ocean, can he still threaten us?"

"You won't threaten us."

Ye Kun shook his head and said thoughtfully: "If Song Kui really declares himself emperor, then in the future, we Chinese descendants will have no legitimate reason to go to the West Sea Continent to look for resources.

All the disputes among the world and the wars between nations are nothing more than the struggle for resources and energy.

The West Sea Continent seems very far away from us, but in the future, with advanced technology and transportation, it will only take one or two days to fly there by plane.

And this day will come in a hundred years."

Wei Caiqin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take the two princes and lead the troops to the West Sea Continent. From now on, we will take root there. The princes are members of the Ye family, so they will naturally support the Chinese Han for generations to come."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

Because the West Sea Continent is too far away, separated by the Atlantic Ocean.

If you're unlucky, the Atlantic Ocean will be your burial place.

Ye Kun was also surprised: "Princess Qin, are you willing to take the prince to the West Sea Continent to expand the territory?"

"It would be a shame if we don't want such a big continent, right?"

Wei Caiqin smiled and said, "Give me tens of thousands of people in batches. I will take the prince with me and develop slowly based on the foundation laid by Song Kui. After thirty to fifty years, the West Sea Continent will become a Han world."

Jiang Yourong sighed: "Sister Caiqin is truly a heroine."

Ye Kun pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "The Oil Peninsula already belongs to us, but the construction has just begun. The Mediterranean coast, East and West Rome have not yet been settled.

In the past one or two years, I really have no energy to take care of the West Sea Continent.

There are many young people in China, but not many are willing to immigrate. Even if young people are willing to immigrate, it is not easy to afford such a huge expense.

Give me another five years, and our technology will be more advanced, and our navigation technology and ships will be better than they are now. Only then can I consider the affairs of the West Sea Continent."

Wei Caiqin said, "Your Majesty, we are all old, and time is running out. If you agree, I am willing to form my own fleet, pay for it myself, recruit warriors and adventurers, and go to the West Sea Continent."

Ye Kun frowned: "Are you planning to gather the old people in Jingzhou? There aren't that many people there."
