Chapter 3700
In fact, Qian Tiandun named this place under the Han rule of Shanghai. To be precise, the full name of this Zhenhai Port located on the coast of East Africa should be "Second Town Harbor" or "Second Town Harbor".
The place named after "Zhenhai Port" is the river and sea port at the mouth of the Ningbo Fuyong River under the jurisdiction of the Donghai Region. Moreover, the Zhenhai Port has a longer history, and this place name was used long before Hai Han took over the local area.
Qian Tiandun was not unaware of this, but he believed that the functions of the two towns and sea ports were similar, one town of the East Sea, one town of the Red Sea, one east and one west, thousands of miles apart, which was also another form of remote echo.
In the future, when people mention the place name "Zhenhaigang", they will not only think of Ningbo Zhenhaigang, but also another Zhenhaigang far away in Africa, which will surely help to build the popularity of this new port in China.
"In the future, the maritime routes we have built around the Arabian Peninsula and its influence on this region must be achieved through Fubo Port and Zhenhai Port. I hope you can remember that this is not just an isolated port, but also the location of the border of our Haihan Kingdom!"
"The western front of our territory was used to be Hanban Port, Ceylon Island, thousands of miles away, but from now on, this is a new border! The land you are stepping under your feet will be the land of our Haihan Kingdom in the future! Everyone stationed here must not only shoulder the task of building Zhenhai Port, but also have the responsibility to defend the territory!"
"You may not be able to obtain timely access to the country here Materials and other support may not be able to meet with your family for a long time, but since you have joined the Hai Han Army, as a member of the Special Forces Division, you should have been aware of the fact that expanding territory for the country is the mission you must complete! "
"I promise you that you will properly arrange the time limit for rotation of stationing, and ensure that everyone who completes the stationing mission can receive the due holidays and special allowances. Those who voluntarily station here for a long time can count their military merits according to the stationing period, get additional promotion opportunities, and submit them to the Ministry of National Defense for commendation!"
Qian Tiandun currently has not many conditions for these people stationed in Zhenhai Port, and he can only draw a few big cakes to boost morale first. Fortunately, it is only 500 miles away from the Port of Aden here. As long as you have a boat and money, you can purchase most of the daily necessities you need from the local area, which may even be more convenient than the Port of Fubo in the Strait of Hormuz.
Considering that the surrounding environment here is not particularly peaceful and pirate activities are even more rampant, Qian Tiandun specially left several more warships to ensure the safety of this voyage between Zhenhai Port and Aden Port.
There is a poem that says: The waves in the sea reflect the red sun, and the shadows of the sails connect to the sky. The two ports are united to connect the world, and the journey of thousands of miles shares this wind.
After deploying the affairs of Zhenhai Port, Qian Tiandun led the fleet to set off again and sailed northward into the Mande Strait, the gateway to the Red Sea.
The width of the Mande Strait is about fifty or sixty miles. It seems that the sea surface is wide, but in fact there are a large number of reefs and volcanic islands distributed in the strait, making the waterway through the strait not as safe as it seems.
From a geographical point of view, the Mande Strait was once part of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa. It was formed by stratigraphic faults and subsidence between the African continent and the Arabian Peninsula due to geological changes.
While traveling through the Mande Strait, Qian Tiandun was also spreading some special knowledge he knew to his subordinates.
"It is said that a long time ago, the ancestors of human beings were born on the African continent, and humans all over the world originated from this, and humans living in East Asia also came out of the African continent. Before this place became a strait, it was very likely that some ancestors migrated from East Africa to the east." Takahashinan has been following Qian Tiandun for a long time, and is also the fastest person among the audience to follow Qian Tiandun's thoughts: "Sir, if you go east along the Arabian Peninsula, then the Strait of Hormuz was also the first to follow Qian Tiandun's thoughts: "Sir, if you go east along the Arabian Peninsula, then the Strait of Hormuz was also the first to follow Qian Tiandun's thoughts. It is very likely to be a piece of land, right? "Qian Tiandun nodded and said, "You are right. You can recall the terrain of the Strait of Hormuz. Is it just right that the north and south sides are very compatible? It's like a piece of cake that was broken in half."
Recalling the map I've seen, it was really as Qian Tiandun said. The peninsula where Fubo Port is located protruded northward like a spike, and the coast on the north side of the strait was just concave, and the terrain was indeed highly compatible.
However, if Qian Tiandun's commentary was not like this, no one would have thought that the strait that hundreds of miles wide might have been connected to land.
Li Yuande didn't believe this statement: "Sir, if people in the world are descendants of African ancestors, why do different ethnic groups in different regions have great differences in appearance? Most of the African natives are black, but our Haihan are all yellow-skinned. No matter how you look, they don't look like they were born to an ancestor, right?"
Qian Tiandun smiled and said, "One place of land and soil nourishes the other people. The ancestors changed their places to live, and the descendants slowly changed with the environment. Look at the naturalized people of foreign races that our country absorbed in the early years, and the second generation and third generation are the second generation and third generation. In the generations, will they be more and more like Han people? "
Li Yuande said: "It seems that this is true. I know that some naturalized people from foreign races will become more and more like Han people even if they have not intermarried with Han people."
Qian Tiandun said: "This is the truth. Two or three generations can see the changes. During this period, only a few decades, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even longer? Survival of natural choice and continuous evolution has led to the differences in the appearance of races and ethnic groups we see today."
Dong Shangyi sighed, "I am so knowledgeable. This is the first time I have heard such a saying. I have gained insight! I just don't know what the ancestors who walked out of Africa millions of years ago would look like!" Qian Tiandun smiled and said, "That must be far from what we look like, but it is closer to monkeys."
No mistakes, one poem, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Dong Shangyi said in surprise: "Can everyone's ancestors become monkeys?"
Qian Tiandun said: "As far as I know, humans may indeed evolve from some particularly smart ape-like creatures. Didn't you see several orangutans near the Zhenhaigang station a few days ago? Maybe they are all distant relatives."
After hearing this, everyone laughed silently, thinking that Qian Tiandun was just talking and laughing at everyone. Only Takahashi Nan knew that what Qian Tiandun said was probably not a joke, but no one was willing to accept such a statement.
Of course, even Takahashi Nan, who firmly believes in Qian Tiandun's old subordinates, still find it difficult to accept his theory of evolution that transcends the times. He is a dignified general of Hai Han and a role model admired by countless Hai Han people. He is absolutely impossible to be a distant relative of the chimpanzee.
