It is still Chu Feng’s ironclad fleet that is fighting for the front station.

A squadron of 1,500 people, plus a Marine Corps, was preparing to travel around the Cuba Island.

This time, there were more intelligence managers in the fleet, Adil, Leonardo, and Katarina.

Although he was dissatisfied with the intelligence, strength and domineering of the Truchens, Katarina was still quite touched by Chu Feng's speech at Guadeloupe Pier.

"The Spaniards have the largest colonies, the largest colonial population, and the largest gold and silver mines, but they are implemented with the simplest method of production."

"That is, the colonies are responsible for producing gold and silver, and then leaving a small part to consume locally, and most of them are transported to Europe for a lot of money. Because they have money, they can buy anything that Europe can buy now."

"Because the production of gold and silver mines comes from black slaves, the almost unpaid labor of Indian slaves, they have no motivation to carry out the industrial revolution in China, and they have no motivation to buy textiles and steel production lines from the British."

"If this continues, the gap between the Spanish and the British and French will become bigger and bigger, and decline will be inevitable."

"The Truqin Empire attached great importance to industry and mining when it was still very weak. After thirty-five years of rapid development, it has become an existence that even the British must look up to."

However, Katarina did not believe that the industry and mining alone led to the unique existence of the Truchen Empire in Europe. There must be some other secrets that they would not preach to the outside world.

"There is no slaves in the Truqin Empire. Is this also one of their secrets? But according to Zhang Henxue, they will also import a large number of black slaves into Cuba Island. What is this?"

"It is said that the spending of the Truqin Empire in schools is almost the same as that of military power, which should be one of their secrets. I see that the sailors on the Truqin battleship are all full of confidence, and they all look healthy and strong."

"Although they look at us Europeans on the surface, they can't hide their contempt in their bones. We have seen this look, that is when we look at Indians and blacks..."

"Indians! I understand that the core tribe of the Truchens is almost the same as that of the Indians. No wonder they want to set up an American company based on Cuba Island. It seems that their ambitions are quite big."

"According to my understanding, there should be no extra colonies in South America nowadays, but there are still a lot of spare places in the central and western parts of North America. Although Europeans have entered these places, their population is small, and they are still the places where Indians have the advantage."

"But in this way, they will offend Britain, France and Spain at the same time, and they are so confident that they can do this?"

"These three countries are almost the three most powerful countries in Europe, and provoking them at the same time?"

Chu Feng, who was standing beside him, was observing Katarina secretly.

"This woman is not simple. Her private wealth has been discovered by our country, and her former subordinates have been killed by us. Her face has not changed much. Is it not that a woman's desire for wealth and power is not as eager as a man?"

"And she agreed to join our country except to become a shareholder, is there no other factor?"

"She chose the Mosquito Coast route. Did she want to use the fact that she was Spanish to capture Indians in the tropical rainforests of Central America?"

"Also, what does Zhang Henxue mean to be so keen on her? Did she also like him? Although Katarina is a little pretty, she is nearly thirty years old and has been a man for a long time. Although he is an illegitimate son, he is His Majesty's son after all. How noble is it?..."

I also thought of the origins of several concubines, such as Jaen, Turandot and others, "Are you studying ***?"

"No! Katarina is mine! I have to get him!"

Thinking of this, a smile of unyieldingness appeared on his face.

"What's wrong with me? My father once told me about several marriages of equal status, such as Su Wenyu, Shen Muhua, and Techina's daughters. They are all hereditary noble families. If they succeed in getting married, it will naturally be more expensive, but why don't I want to do this?"

"Is it because I am the eldest son of a polite person? If it weren't the eldest son? No, although our country does not implement monogamy, there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate person. Moreover, my father also treats me as legitimate son."

He couldn't help but think of his mother.

When he thought of his mother, his tears almost flowed out.

His father Chuhul was three years older than Qitad and was the chief escort of Qitad when he was a hostage in Astrakhan. When Qitad officially appeared in the "Lotus of Truchen" (Northern Caucasus) thirty-five years ago, Chuhul had several women around him, and his mother was one of them.

They are naturally the daughters of the herdsmen in Truchen. The little Taijis gave them to them to curry favor with Qitade and others, but Chu Feng's mother is different. She is the descendant of the herdsmen who were exiled to the Caucasus Mountains by her ex-Khan Lash!

Although Qitade treated his herders equally after becoming the lord of the entire exile land of the Turkuts, it was obviously different for them.

By the way, it is exile, exile the offspring of the prisoner!

He had blood from exiled prisoners on his body!

For the previous Turgut Khanate, the only code was the Weilath Code. Because the Khanate was small in population, there was basically no death penalty. Most of the punishment items were fines. Wherever the herdsmen had the money, most of the punishments were cattle and sheep.

The core of the Erath Code is to respect Lamaism, and there are punishments for the Lama itself, so it is naturally exiled. Most of the Lamas who violate the Code are because...

Thinking of this, his body began to tremble slightly.

"My mother is not the biological daughter of my grandfather, but the daughter of the lama who was assigned to preach in our household!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The entire Weila tribe, whether it is the Turgut Khanate or the Junggar Khanate, has a large number of lamas, all of whom are supported by herdsmen. When the financial difficulties of the Great Khan and Datai-ji, some of the lamas also have to go to the herdsmen's homes to provide support.

In that case, the lama and the herdsmen will naturally have many unsightly things, which is also the main reason for the lama being exiled.

“I am a descendant of the exile…”

Chu Feng has always been full of energy, but when it comes to major marriage matters, he is very cautious. At first, he didn't understand what was going on, but now he understands a little.

"It's because of the origin"

"But doesn't the word Truchen mean the place of exile? And Katarina is obviously an active or passive exile. Otherwise, why should a woman be a pirate? You must know that the existence of a woman on a pirate ship is a taboo."

In a blink of an eye, his spirit was revived.

After leaving Guadeloupe, the fleet sailed along Puerto Rico and the south of Haiti. According to the plan, they needed to sail along Guantanamo-San Diego-Trinida-Cienfuegos-Treasure Island-Havana-Matanzas-Guantanamo.

It was roughly necessary to run a counterclockwise round Cuba Island. In addition to clearing out pirates along the way, there were naturally factors that went ashore to observe the evacuation of the Spaniards - whether they all stayed in the local area or evacuated, the Truchens were not sure.

According to Zhang Henxue's idea, it would be best for all the Spanish and even black people to stay, but slaves are the main property of white people, and they probably won't be left to the Truchens. There will definitely be some wealthy people who will leave on a large Spanish ship.

The Spanish also had vast colonies in the Americas, with so many open spaces, and there were a lot of land for the Cubans to explore.

But for white people like the Spanish colonists, who are mainly engaged in gold and silver mining and planting, and finally lost a large number of slaves (tropical diseases), how can the mines be willing to give up?

Therefore, Zhang Henxue believes that except for a few people who will move to other places, most white people and slaves will remain, which is also the main reason why he brought the leader of the Jesuit Leonardo.

Cuba Island was repeatedly transferred between Spain, France and Britain. In addition to the white Spanish, there were also white French and British people, but in any case, these white colonists stayed.

This is also the reason why Zhang Henxue thinks so.
