Is it cool to transmigrate to South America? Zhu Xianhai's answer is: it's very cool.
After all, 19th-century South America is still a place where cowards vie for hegemony, a land ful...

Baiji!
When Zhu Xianhai, who was in Yingtian Prefecture, heard the news, he was stunned for a long time.
Baiji!
It’s the Baiji dolphin!
"Baji! They actually sent them here!"
Zhu Xianhai said with some joy.
"Hurry, tell them to send the baiji dolphins to Yingtian."
Where should we keep them after they are sent to Yingtian?
That doesn’t matter. We can just find a big lake here and see if they can adapt to the climate here. If they can, we can put them in the Xin’an River, which is the La Plata River, in the future.
By that time, La Plata in South America will truly be the Xin'an River of the Ming Dynasty.
Charlotte asked curiously, seeing how excited her husband was.
"Baiji? Is there anything special about it?"
Not only him, but also the crown prince Zhu Yousen - since the great emperor Zhu recognized his ancestor, he, the eldest son of the emperor, must naturally follow him. Of course, he also changed his name according to the generation name given by the emperor Gao, and he also looked at his father curiously.
"The Mermaid of the Yangtze River!"
In another world, the Baiji dolphin had long been extinct. When it was heard that Yang Fuqing actually brought the Baiji dolphin this time, how could Emperor Zhu not be happy?
"Mermaid?"
Zhu Yousen's eyes lit up and he said in surprise,
"Is it the mermaid in the fairy tale book?"
Zhu Xianhai laughed out loud at his son's words.
"You kid, it's not good to read too many fairy tales. Don't you know that they are all lies? Let me tell you, the Baiji is a freshwater dolphin. It entered the Yangtze River from the Pacific Ocean about 20 million years ago, and then became a species unique to the Yangtze River in China. Nanjing is another Yingtian Prefecture."
Zhu Xianhai paused.
"It's right by the Yangtze River. Our Yingtian Prefecture...is by the Xin'an River. Without it, I always feel like something is missing."
Looking at his father's expression, Zhu Yousen spoke as if he understood.
"So, that's why Father brought them here, right?"
"Yes, not only bring them here, but also bring them here..."
Bring them here!
To protect them!
A few years ago, after the first batch of wild animals such as South China tigers and South China leopards purchased from Heaven were sent to South China, some of them were sent to the South China Zoo, and some were directly released into the Patagonia Plateau, which is vast and sparsely populated and can serve as a habitat for Chinese animals.
The South China tigers and South China leopards quickly adapted to the land, and within just a few years, they multiplied into multiple populations.
Emperor Zhu is confident that while the South American continent becomes the new China of the Chinese people, it will also become a habitat for those Chinese animals.
As for the invasion of alien species and the extinction of native species.
Just forget it!
After the European whites came, they almost wiped out the Indians. They didn't say anything.
I am here, so what does it matter if the things come here? Since this land belongs to China, what is the problem with Chinese animals breeding naturally here?
Not to mention the South China tiger, Emperor Zhu even planned to turn the Xin'an River into another Yangtze River - trying to release precious aquatic animals such as the Baiji dolphin and the Yangtze sturgeon here.
Recreate China in South America!
But it is not as simple as just moving people over here, even the scenery of China must be moved here. If it were not for the fact that the technology of changing the world is too complicated and the cost is too high, it would not be cost-effective. Emperor Zhu would not mind raising the Andes Mountains by a few thousand meters to 8848.
A big project like that is definitely not realistic, but it is possible to protect some animals. If there is a chance in the future, we can also ask Sichuan to catch a batch of them.
Then we will set up a protected area in Daming. As a rare animal unique to China, if there is no rolling in Daming, how can it be China?
We need to hurry up on this matter.
Whose territory is Sichuan now? I don't seem to know, but it doesn't matter. If no one takes the initiative to send it, we can send someone to catch it.
By then, the panda fever will probably come half a century earlier!
"I really don't know how they transported the baiji dolphins here. I will ask them carefully when they come over."
Zhu Xianhai was very curious.
After all, they had tried to transport Yangtze sturgeon before, but failed in the end.
Could it be some kind of black technology?
In fact, what kind of black technology is that? The method used by Heaven is very simple, which is to directly turn the cabin into a large fish tank...
No one knows what Emperor Zhu's "animal protection action" means, not even Emperor Zhu himself. But what is certain is that thanks to his paranoia, many of China's rare birds and animals survived tenaciously on this land in the next few decades.
Just like Zhu Xianhai said - this land belongs to China!
Not only does it belong to the Chinese people, but even the animals in China have the right to live and reproduce here.
After all, in Zhu Xianhai's view, this continent is no longer the "South American Continent" but the "New Xia Continent".
The people and things here will surely bear a strong Chinese imprint in the future.
…
After playing with the children for a while, Zhu Xianhai returned to the study and saw an envelope on the table. There was beautiful French writing on the envelope. He knew who it was from without opening the letter.
As soon as I saw the beautiful French writing on the envelope, I knew it was a letter from Eugenie.
"Eugénie!"
I squeezed the envelope and felt that the inside seemed a bit hard. After opening the envelope, I found two photos in addition to the letter.
"This...he is Judy?"
Looking at the chubby, pretty and cute baby in the photo, Zhu Xianhai said in surprise,
Judy was his son, his and Eugenie's son. The countless times they spent in Paris together made Eugenie pregnant.
However, some traces are not so obvious, or even unknown. Zhu Xianhai gained a lot from the expedition, which can be described as a double harvest of career and love. No, family affection should be added.
Three harvests.
After all, he had another son.
Zhu Xianhai spent a lot of time thinking about naming his child. This is his right as a father. In Eugenie's letter, he particularly emphasized this point - as a father, he must name his child.
It took Zhu Xianhai almost two months to come up with the name "Judy". This name can be used for both boys and girls. More importantly, this name hides his surname - Zhu.
Zhu Xianhai is a very patriarchal man, so of course his children have to take his surname.
As for Napoleon III...he was only Emperor in name only.
"Judy!"
Looking at the photo of Eugenie holding her son, Zhu Xianhai had a smile on his face and his eyes were filled with longing for his loved ones. Then he unfolded the letter.
"Honey……"
Every word in Eugenie's letter was filled with longing for him. The strong love and longing between the lines made people feel moved, but also helpless.
"well!"
Looking at the photo of his son, Zhu Xianhai sighed helplessly. Judy was his son and Eugenie was his lover.
But so what?
Their identities meant that all of this had to be kept hidden forever; some things could not be known to outsiders.
After all, to the outside world, she was the Queen of France and Judy was the Prince of France.
Just when Zhu Xianhai was feeling a little complicated, Charlotte walked in. After seeing the two photos, she said with surprise.
"Is that the photo Eugenie sent? Is that the one she's holding Judy?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Judy, Judy..."
After looking at the photo, Charlotte kept repeating the name on her lips. She looked at Zhu Xianhai again. Her gaze made people feel a little uneasy. Could she have discovered something?
Judy looked more like his mother. She looked more like a European than a mixed race. But even so, Emperor Zhu was still a little worried that his wife would discover this secret.
After all, he is her elder.
Just when Emperor Zhu was feeling uneasy and wondering if she had discovered something, he heard Charlotte say.
"What a fool they are! They actually gave it this name!"
Charlotte's tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"What?"
Emperor Zhu was stunned. He was even a little overwhelmed. What was going on?
"Didn't you notice?"
Looking at her usually very smart husband, Charlotte said with some displeasure.
"Eugénie and the others are taking advantage of you, Judy... I think one of your ancestors was named this!"
