536 [Time is like an arrow]

There are five tribes around Dasheng Bay, two of which are more obedient, and even the chiefs can speak simple Chinese, such as: you, me, water, cloth, salt, etc.

This was because every time the fleet of Tanhaibo passed by, it had to stop and trade with them for supplies.

The other three tribes, because in the depths of the bay, the Daming fleet was too lazy to drive over. In this way, they were more rusty, and they didn't want to fight with Chen Li, so they ushered in a catastrophe.

Chen Li needs land, and the fertile soil of the river delta is very suitable for immigrants to cultivate and reproduce.

The three tribes were all pulled out by Chen Li, the ships drove directly to the estuary, the cannons bombarded the tribes, and the rest was to capture slaves.

Five hundred Han Chinese soldiers remained, each of whom was given two wives, and even robbed white women and mixed-race women. The unallocated women will be kept for the time being, and the next batch of immigrants will also need wives, anyway, the more women in the colony, the better.

These 500 Han people did not need to work in person, because there were many times the number of indigenous slaves who were their own. They had to be on guard against rebellion at all times, and they didn't dare to leave their armor every day, and they even had to keep training in turns.

"Leader Zhou, please!" Chen Li hugged his fists.

"Don't worry, I'm covered here!" Zhou Hong cut the railway, and he was responsible for staying behind to command the five hundred soldiers and manage this newly conquered territory.

Chen Li instructed: "Good students train horsemanship, and we will have cavalry in the future." ”

In several battles, more than 30 horses were captured, nearly half of which were plantation horses. The Spanish cavalry ran as fast as they could, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they slipped away, and the Han infantry could not catch up, and less than twenty horses were successfully captured.

Chen Li was very annoyed, because of those precious war horses, several of them were actually gelding!

The fleet gradually sailed away from Dasheng Bay, and Chen Li looked at the coast from afar, full of ambition.

The three Chen brothers are all brave people, and they are all bastards who grew up in the pirate's den. It's just that the eldest brother is the eldest son, and he naturally has a crushing advantage, how can the second brother and Chen Li fight?

Chen Li was able to save a dog's life and get a big boat, which was resourceful enough.

Fortunately, Chen Licai ruthlessly went to the ocean and carved out another world in this extreme eastern!

By the time Chen Li sailed south, the news of the burning of Guatemala City had already reached Mexico.

Cortez, the explorer who destroyed the Aztec Empire, founded Mexico City, founded the colony of New Spain, and named California, was shocked, angry, and gloated when he heard the shocking news.

The Viceroyalty of New Spain, which de jure ruled the entire Central and South American states, but now only has the acquiescence of the king, and Cortés, the viceroy, is also self-appointed.

Historically, it would take another eight years for the king to officially recognize the existence of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and to send nobles as governors and open a mint, and Cortés, who had really laid down this land, was completely seized of power!

Why is Cortez gloating?

Because the kingdom of Guatemala was founded by Alvarado, who sent his henchman. Due to the discovery of the Ming fleet in the Americas, the king of Spain moved faster than in history, directly parachuting a nobleman to Guatemala, and killing the colonial leader Alvarado!

Alvarado, who was killed by the new governor, was the culprit responsible for the death of the Aztec emperor.

Cortés, on the other hand, was relatively mild, and he did not advocate kidnapping the emperor at first, but was encouraged by a group of men to do so. After the fall of the Aztec Empire, Cortés was also kind to his indigenous allies, and in recent years he turned Mexico into a "paradise".

Historically, until a large amount of silver was discovered in Mexico, the king of Spain finally couldn't sit still, and the airborne aristocratic governor came to force Cortés away, and Mexico, a "paradise", instantly turned into hell. After leaving Mexico, Cortez continued to be his explorer, discovering and naming California.

"Do you want to take Guatemala back?" The subordinate asked.

Cortés replied with only one sentence: "There are silver mines there!" ”

Three hundred Spanish colonists then set out and raised an army of 10,000 native servants. These weren't slave armies, they were all Cortés' indigenous allies. At its peak, he had an army of 80,000 natives, and he was willing to fight him and unite to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Aztec Empire.

Cortés' troops, when they arrived in Guatemala, found that the city had long been burned to the ground, so they seized the silver mines and captured slaves, giving all the surrounding plantations to their native allies.

The King of Spain, once again losing control of Central America, and the silver mines fell into the hands of a group of disobedient adventurers.

……

Chen Li led the fleet south, and soon came to the Bay of Guayaquil, which is called "Mazu Bay".

Near the bay harbor, there is a statue of the god Mazu more than five meters high, which was erected by devout Inca believers for Mazu Niangniang.

Chen Li used a clairvoyant mirror to observe a small island on the other side of the harbor, with large swaths of houses and farmland, and many farmers dressed as Han Chinese working.

Entering the port and landing on the shore, there are also many Han people in the port.

Chen Li sent Lu Fang to be in charge of the supply and tried to send horses to Tan Haibo. He caught a Han man, pointed to the island opposite, and asked, "Those are the people of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The other party replied with a smile: "This island is called 'Dongping Island', and the island is full of Han people." The king of Sulong (Inca) has already given the entire island to Tanhaibo, and future immigrants will continue to be transported to the island. ”

Chen Li built the base, and Zhu Hai was doing the same.

Dongping Island, that is, Pune Island in another time and space, covers an area of about 855 square kilometers. The island is not big, but it is suitable for Zhu Hai to immigrate, the opposite shore is "Mazu Port", Mazu Port has also been controlled by Zhu Hai, this port is 800 miles north is the capital of the second prince.

The eldest prince and the second prince, who divided the country into two, have been attacking each other for two years.

Because Zhu Hai provided cowpox and weapons, the second prince, who had less population and territory, kept pressing the eldest prince and gradually owned more than half of the land of the Inca Empire.

The Spaniard Pizarro was very weak, he poked the second prince chrysanthemum from Panama, and poked it several times without success. Because there was the border fortress of the Inca Empire, Tumbes, Pizarro's small cannon faced the fortified city, and the cannonballs were like tickling.

Aztec Empire or Inca Empire, who was more advanced?

The Inca Empire, of course!

The capital of the Aztec Empire was a city on the water, with no walls, and all the water used as a natural barrier.

The Inca Empire, on the other hand, not only had official routes that connected the whole country, but also wonders of the world such as Machu Picchu. It is a high mountain stone town, with terraced fields outside the city and a well-developed irrigation system. There are sewers, workshops, temples, parks, shelters and living quarters in the city, and the stairs and walls are all made of huge granite stones, the largest of which weighs 20 tons, and the devil knows how they moved to the top of the mountain!

Whether it was Mexico or Guatemala, the Spanish colonizers were overwhelmed.

It was because of the glorious deeds of his predecessors that Pizarro led a group of adventurers to conquer the Inca Empire. After conquering for several years, he couldn't even beat the border fortresses of other people, and the sea was blocked by the Ming fleet, so Pizarro could only fight the Inca fortresses.

In the spring of this year, Pizarro broke his head and cried and sailed back to the king of Spain for funding.

Zhu Hai now lives in Mazu Port, and Chen Li was soon summoned.

"Zhejiang maritime merchant Chen Li, meet uncle!" Chen Li knelt on one knee.

"Get up," Zhu Hai said with a smile on his beard, sticking two handfuls of his beard, looking even more powerful, "the four horses you have offered are all good horses, and the stallions have not been gelding, which is really commendable." ”

Chen Li said with a smile: "Good things naturally have to be dedicated to the uncle." ”

Zhu Hai asked, "These four horses were snatched from the Spaniards, right?" ”

Chen Li replied: "The grass people captured a small Spanish town, and they gained a little, so they didn't run in vain. ”

"Yes, young and promising," Zhu Hai said approvingly, "This far east is very big, I can't occupy it alone, and we need everyone to work together." ”

Chen Li said: "Follow the teachings of my uncle. ”

Zhu Hai was not talking about the scene, but he really realized it. The Americas are too big, and instead of guarding against their own people, it is better to occupy the territory according to their own abilities, so that the number of Han people here will quickly increase.

However, Zhu Hai reminded: "North of Sulong Kingdom (Inca), whatever you do, you must not touch the south of Sulong Kingdom!" ”

Zhu Hai has assigned the whole of South America to his own territory, allowing Chen Li to jump around in North America and Central America.

Chen Li clasped his fists and said, "Grass people remember. ”

Zhu Hai threw out a nautical chart: "You give me four horses, and I will give you a picture in return." The 'Poyang Port' marked on the map is now the land of the Ming Dynasty, and you can go there to replenish when you return to the sea. ”

"Thank you!" Chen Li was overjoyed, nautical charts are more precious than anything else.

As for the "port of Poyang" of Rauschzi, in the southern part of the Inca Empire, it was the territory of the great prince.

With the help of cowpox technology, Zhu Hai has almost squeezed out the gold and silver of North Inca. couldn't let the second prince beat the eldest prince, so Zhu Hai sent Lin Shiyi south to secretly sell weapons to the eldest prince, so that the Inca civil war would continue like this.

The "Poyang Port" was named by Lin Shiyi to commemorate his own glorious years of rebellion.

Zhu Hai's heart is black inside and out.

The second prince respected him, and the Inca people worshiped him, but he financed the eldest prince to fight the civil war, and the arms business made a lot of money. Even if the problem is discovered, it can be blamed on the pirates, saying that the weapons of the eldest prince are all quietly sold by the Ming pirates.

War and smallpox have decimated the Inca population by 20% in a few years, and at least two million people have died!

But Zhu Hai didn't think he had died enough, because the second prince's army alone numbered more than 60,000 people. A small number of them belonged to professional soldiers, and most of them were half-ploughing and half-fighting. If the Ming wanted to conquer by force, it would have to settle for decades, and the Inca population must be reduced as soon as possible.

Historically, when Pizarro was sponsored by the King of Spain to invade the Inca Empire again, the Grand Prince had already won the civil war. At that time, the Inca population was still 6 million, and the eldest prince had 100,000 troops, as long as his IQ was normal, Pizarro would never be able to win.

But the eldest prince is mentally retarded!

After Pizarro captured the border fortress, he asked the two armies to negotiate, and he set off with only 177 men and 62 horses, and asked the eldest prince to bring only 5,000 soldiers.

The Inca soldiers were very good at ambush tactics, but the eldest prince abandoned them and allowed Pizarro to swagger through his territory with more than a hundred men. Pick any suitable terrain and make it impossible for the Spanish cavalry to charge, and you can kill Pizarro hundreds of times.

To add insult to injury, while the two sides were negotiating, the eldest prince ordered the troops to lay down their arms.

The Spanish cavalry took the opportunity to charge, instantly routed the Inca army, and captured the eldest prince. And the casualties paid by the Spaniards were very ridiculous, it was Pizarro himself who was slightly wounded in order to protect the captives (the Grand Prince), and the rest of the soldiers were not even injured, let alone killed.

Perhaps, this is the simplicity of the Incas.

If you talk about negotiation, then you will really negotiate, and I will not ambush your negotiation team. If you ask me to bring only 5,000 men, then I will only bring 5,000 men, anyway, I have more troops than you. When negotiating, what is the point of holding a weapon? My whole army laid down its arms as a sign of sincerity, oops, why did you attack suddenly!

How could Zhu Hai have thought that the Incas were so cute?

He's worried about it, trying to get more people to die here.

Chen Li was not involved in the affairs of the Inca Empire, and he devoted himself to the development of Central America, where the tribes belonged to the Mayan civilization.

From Zhejiang to the return to Nanyang, it took Chen Li 14 months.

Tobacco, cane sugar and other items were sold out in the South Seas, and rum was left on board to drink by himself. More than 100 catties of rosin were successfully shipped in Fuzhou and sold for more than 5,000 taels of silver, although it could not be compared with gold, but it was much more valuable than silver.

After more than half a year, Chen Li finally arrived in Tianjin and took the beautiful woman to present to the emperor.

He took a boat all the way to Tongzhou, and actually saw a steam monster, a train coming from west to east with thick smoke.

The railway from Jizhou to Beijing, the whole journey of 200 miles, has just been completed, and it took two years and three months!

Let's go back in time and start with the inaugural meeting of the "Physics Society".
