Chapter 4 New York Can Be Mine!

  Having a subordinate is indeed different from before.

  In the past, no matter what happened, I was always thinking alone. Now that there is someone to discuss with, some small details have been completely reminded and supplemented.

  On a small hill, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan sat on the ground, with autumn wind blowing against their faces, carrying a chilling coolness.

  Looking around from the top of the mountain, it's all dense forest, and you can't help but marvel at how rich the forest resources of the American continent were in 1620.

  This reminded Zhao Hongyu of a lesson he learned in college, where his history teacher said that the 1620 American colonists would constantly burn wood even in summer because the forest was too big and they thought it was inexhaustible.

  In this way, forest resources on the American continent were almost completely cut down over a period of 200 years.

  "Leader, you still have some money on hand. Even if we create two more companions, there will be some left over. So we won't have any trouble with funds, and three subordinates are generally safer than just one."

  When he saw Zhao Hongyu fall silent, Wang Shan continued to advise him.

  Wang Shan was completely considering Zhao Hongyu, in the 1620s on the American continent, the dangers they faced were not only beasts and whites, but also those savage Indians.

  But on this land, traveling alone is very dangerous, only with many people can one demonstrate great strength.

  At the same time, having a lot of people also has another advantage, which is that it can make many troublemakers think twice.

  After calculation, I originally had 1,367,000 yuan in cash. After buying Wangshan and spending 3,000 yuan on decoration fees for him, I still have 921,800 yuan left.

  Of course, Zhao Hongyu didn't need to calculate it, he just needed to open his virtual bank account to see this information.

  He thought that what Wang Shan said wasn't unreasonable. Now his own safety was a big problem, and in the situation where he couldn't buy guns, it was necessary to have more people.

  He nodded in agreement with Wang Shan's proposal.

  Because I bought Wang Shan's last setting mode, the next purchase was very convenient, and I didn't have to stare at the system's constantly popping up selection bar to choose.

  According to the set pattern, five seconds later, two genetically engineered humans 'Zhang Tie' and 'Song Hu' appeared out of thin air with their buttocks exposed, having similar backgrounds and experiences as Hei Wu Xian and Wang Shan.

  The amount they spent on manufacturing is as much as Wang Shan's.

  The total amount for one person is 4,422,000 yen.

  Zhao Hongyu also customized for the two of them separately from the mountain stronghold options, again customizing 17th-century European-style coffee-colored leather jackets and pants and long boots.

  One person's fee is 3000 yuan.

  At this moment, Zhao Hongyu's account balance has been cleared to zero.

  After this round of purchases, there is still 31,400 yuan in Zhao Hongyu's virtual account.

  Zhou Hongyu had three more genetically modified subordinates under him, although they were only three-year conscripts, but for Zhou Hongyu now, it was enough.

  He didn't not want a powerful special forces soldier, it's just that cultivating this type of genetically modified person would cost who knows how much money. He didn't want to recklessly choose like the first time and end up losing over 800,000 again.

  To know, more than 800,000 in cash, how many pelts need to be sold.

  The amount of 31,000 yuan doesn't seem like a lot.

  But for Zhao Hongyu, this money can do a lot of things.

  These more than 30,000 pieces of money can support him buying food and heading south.

  And when they encountered other Indians, they could also buy some inferior iron products and exchange them for furs.

  As long as Zhao Hongyu's account has 100 yuan, they will not starve to death.

  "According to some information I know, the Southern English established a colony called Jamestown in 1607, thirteen years ago, and referred to their territory as Virginia."

  Zhao Hongyu sat down with three genetically engineered humans and began explaining historical information he knew.

  Although Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Song Hu were genetically modified humans, their loyalty was very high, which made Zhao Hongyu feel very at ease.

  So it's okay to reveal a little bit of information to them.

  Besides, genetic people are very clear about the secrets on their own bodies.

  The system did not conceal anything from them when it brought them to its side.

  All three of them are clear about their own biggest 'cheater', Zhao Hongyu knows some historical information and still hides it, what's the use?

  At the same time, in the personal attribute column of Wang Shan and the other two, 100 points of loyalty were enough to dispel some of Zhao Hongyu's concerns.

  "Do the British now have only this one stronghold?"

  As soon as Zhao Hongyu's words fell, Wang Shan asked.

  Zhao Hongyu thought for a moment, shrugged his shoulders: "I roughly know that much, as for whether there are other colonies or not, I really don't know. After all, when I was in school, I only heard the teacher mention it once, and now I can still remember it, which is truly fortunate."

  Wang Shan and the other two exchanged a glance, all of them bursting into snickers.

  Song Hu said with a long, rough face: "The leader is much more formidable than us. We all graduated from elementary school and only learned some useful knowledge after serving in the army for three years. As for history, it's completely unknown to us." After finishing speaking, he raised his big hand like a fan and scratched the back of his head with a mouthful of teeth.

  Wang Shan and Zhang Tie nodded in agreement, both thinking that Zhao Hongyu was able to think of this historical information was already very impressive.

  "The British and French are at odds with each other, they both pulled their own immigrant tribes around the Indian camp, let them fight against other Indian tribes. At the same time, they also constantly attacked the Indians under the control of both sides, this is an opportunity for us." Zhao Hongyu listened to the three flattering words from his subordinates, but he did not show any pride, instead, he continued to speak with a serious expression.

  "But the British base closest to us is not Virginia, but rather Plymouth Bay in Massachusetts." At this point, Zhao Hongyu thought of the Mayflower and their immigrants.

  But soon, Zhao Hongyu's eyebrows furrowed again.

  Because he thought of a question, his previous information might have had loopholes.

  Wang Shan saw Zhao Hongyu frowning and asked: "Leader, is something wrong?"

  Zhang Tie and Song Hu also quietly looked over.

  Zhao Hongyu said: "It's possible that I made a mistake earlier, and there may not be any colonial sites in Massachusetts yet, because according to my history, it was the second British colony on the American continent, established by the Mayflower immigrants in December 1620. But now it's only late September."

  After finishing speaking, Zhao Hongyu sighed and swept his gaze over Sanming's face.

  "So that means the British only have one foothold left in Virginia, and it will take another three months to establish a foothold in Massachusetts?" Song Hu asked with a calm tone.

  "If history hadn't taken a wrong turn, things would have been like that," Zhao Hongyu replied with a bitter smile.

  Originally thought of going from here to find a British stronghold and settle in a nearby place.

  But if Massachusetts is still under construction, I can only go to Virginia.

  It will be very far away on the way.

  To know that he is now in a location which would later become part of Canada, near Quebec City.

  The distance from here to the United States is really far.

  Especially in this process, heaven knows what kind of danger will be encountered.

  But he can't leave, because the "Bison" of the Andarle tribe said that both the French and the Mokare tribe want his life, and the surrounding Indian tribes will also come to make trouble for him for the benefit of the French.

  So he had to leave.

  "Leader, what's the point of controlling so much. Although I only have a primary school education, I also know that in this era, whoever occupies the land is who it belongs to. We may be few in number now, but we can slowly develop and become a dominant force."

  Wang Shan and his group received modern education. However, in order to ensure their loyalty, the system forcibly indoctrinated them with brainwashing education.

  So Wang Shan and others also knew some history.

  In addition, after three years of compulsory military service, they also brought back some angry youth characteristics...

  As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, Zhang Tie and Song Hu rushed to express their agreement.

  "British devils, French devils can occupy this place, why can't we? Leader, I support you, with our divine artifact, what are we afraid of? Later, we can also defeat the French devils and British devils, and control the entire American continent in your hands." He said, his eyes flashing.

  Zhang Tieling nodded and said, "Rather than going to rely on the British, it's better for us to find a place to secretly develop. With the leader's divine artifact, we can completely make friends with some Indian tribes and sell them flintlock guns, just like the British and French letting Indians fight for us." Having received 21st-century education, even if he was a genetically engineered person, he was still extraordinary.

  Looking at the three of them speaking one after another, Zhao Hongyu nodded his head in satisfaction.

  Compared with those wooden genetically modified humans who only know how to listen and follow orders, Wang Shan and his kind are more to Zhao Hongyu's taste.

  Especially on the basis of guaranteed loyalty, Zhao Hongyu was even more satisfied.

  "Do you have any good advice?" Zhao Hongyu sat there, took out a pack of Huanghe Lou 1918 from his pocket which he bought from the trading device, lit it up and after taking a deep drag, blew out a cyan smoke ring and asked. "After listening to your words, I also think that relying on the British is not a good idea, my trading device can completely satisfy our development needs."

  After hearing Zhao Hongyu's words, Wang Shan's three faces showed a joyful expression.

  Song Hu smiled foolishly and said, "Boss, we can go to New York side, the distance is not far and we can also build a port there..."

  Zhao Hongyu handed the pack of cigarettes in his hand to Wang Shan, letting them also have one.

  Three years of compulsory military service and you won't be smoking? That's impossible.

  As soon as Song Hu spoke, Zhao Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then his brain started spinning rapidly, thinking about the feasibility of Song Hu's proposal to go to New York.

  To know that there was no New York at this time, and the English had only one state in the American continent, Virginia, and the second Massachusetts would not have immigrants arriving for another three months.

  As for Pennsylvania and all that, you can't even see its shadow now.

  Maybe I can really make New York my own territory...

  Zhao Hongyu took a deep drag on his cigarette.
