In addition to Kunlun Nu, the nearly one million immigrants from Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Portugal, the Ming Dynasty did not intend to leave them in the Americas.6 2.

In fact, as early as the first time when the countries worshipped and discussed trade and study, it was mentioned that they hoped that the Ming Dynasty could release these immigrants from various countries, but at that time, the Ming Dynasty had already started the canal excavation project, so it did not immediately agree, and now it is time to notify the countries to redeem the people.

Immediately, the Ming court sent an edict to various countries, agreeing that each country would redeem its captives at the price of 5,000 silver dollars per captive, that is, 50 silver coins in Europe.

This price is not expensive, the immigration captives are all immigrants from the five major sea powers such as Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Portugal that colonized the world at the beginning, and the five sea powers have colonized the world for more than 100 years, and the wealth they have looted is unknown, and they can still afford this price.

Because the Americas 6 is the closest to Europe, the edict was first transmitted to the Americas 6 by radio, and then sent a ship from the Americas 6 to Europe, with the voyage of the Ming ironclad ship, a month is enough to deliver the news.

In the first month of the thirtieth year of the Ming Dynasty, the news reached Europe, and the five countries were shaken.

The population of the five countries is not large, and the two largest countries, Spain and France, have only about 10 million people, and the population is equal to a part of the national strength.

In fact, Spain did not want to redeem these populations, but they thought that the price offered by the Ming was too great, and they preferred that the Ming would unconditionally release these immigrant prisoners.

It's a pity that Da Ming is not wronged, how can the price that has been set change easily. The Spanish prisoners, numbering around 350,000, were the largest among any European nation, and cost about 17 million silver coins.

With Spain's national strength, it will not be impossible to take out even 17 million silver coins, and of course, if it really takes out so much wealth at once, Spain's treasury will be empty for two or three years.

In fact, the Spanish emperor felt that although the population of Spain was not large, there were more than 10 million, and he did not intend to pay the price of 17 million silver coins for these 300,000 immigrants.

Not only that, but they also had to send their own ships to Europe to pick up their own migrant prisoners, which was another big expense.

"At such a price, it is better to use these costs to start a big war and bring Portugal back under the rule of the Empire!" The Emperor of Spain said with a hideous face.

Portugal was separated from Spain decades ago, when the Spanish Empire was gradually declining, and it was originally part of Spain, and for decades, Spain has not given up on re-integrating Portugal into Spanish rule.

In fact, the population of France is also quite large, also more than 10 million, but the French immigrants only have about 200,000 prisoners, and the price paid is much smaller than that of Spain, and France is also richer than Spain, and there are forces in France that hope to overthrow the French king, and under the oppression of these forces, the French king does not dare to be like the king of Spain, blatantly ignoring the people.

The Spanish king did not want to agree, but he couldn't help it, and after the Spanish decision was spread, it immediately caused the anger of the whole of Spain, and a large number of Spanish people put pressure on the Spanish king, and there were also forces in Spain that wanted to overthrow the Spanish emperor.

Of course, under so much pressure, the Spanish emperor still gritted his teeth, stubbornly guarded the treasury, and did not let go at all.

The envoy of the Ming Dynasty has not received the answer he wants, and he has been in Spain for almost a month, and his patience has almost run out.

One day, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty saw the Spanish emperor again, and asked the Spanish emperor with pity: "My emperor's edict, all countries must redeem their captives, otherwise it will be against the Ming Dynasty, is the king planning to ignore my Ming Emperor's edict?" ”

This was a clear threat, and the Spanish emperor was choked at once, and his face turned blue with anger.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty is, of course, not something that Spain can offend, even if the Spanish Emperor is arrogant, he does not dare to ignore the edict of the Ming Emperor.

Under pressure, the Spanish king also had to agree to the ransom of the Spanish captives.

The nations then began to prepare money and conscription ships,6 and went to the Americas6 to redeem their own immigrant captives.

After solving the Kunlun Nu and the immigrants of the Five Kingdoms, there are only the local natives and the more than 4 million Central Plains immigrants who have migrated in the past three years. The native Americans of the Great 6 are also of the yellow race, mainly cultural, supplemented by the military, and it is not difficult to assimilate.

The total number of local natives is 18 million, and while the young and strong of them have been recruited to build the Great 6 Railway around the Americas, a large number of teachers from the Ming Dynasty have also been sent to the Great 6 of the Americas to teach the Native American Ming script and language.

After nearly three years of teaching, many slightly more intelligent aborigines have learned the writing and language of the Ming Dynasty, and began to study the culture of the Ming Dynasty in depth, and the direction of the teaching culture is based on the festivals, customs, and ancient myths of the Central Plains.

Among them, the various county seats, prefectures, and provincial capitals were established at the same time, Taoist temples, Nuwa Temple, etc., which were created by the Ming Dynasty itself by integrating some of the ideas of Confucianism, and established beliefs with the etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame of the sage of 'Confucius'.

The Ming Dynasty is a mature, systematic civilization that has been exhibited for thousands of years, and its essence has been precipitated, and its attraction is much more attractive than that brought by European colonizers compared to the extremely backward civilization of the Americas.

Moreover, the policy of the Ming Dynasty is very good, the natives have their own land, as long as they study well, not only the tax is very low, almost none, but also enjoy the treatment of ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty. This is also many times more comfortable than during the reign of European colonizers.

Although with the influx of immigrants from the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, the land allocated by the Ming immigrants from the Central Plains was more fertile and wider, and the Ming immigrants were richer, and many of the Ming immigrants wore gorgeous silks and exquisite ornaments, which attracted the envy and jealousy of countless natives.

However, even if they thought that the Ming Dynasty was also here to rob them of their land, none of the natives dared to resist, after all, the European colonists did much more than that, and those who dared to resist were all killed by the original European colonists.

In the face of the Ming immigrants, they were more envious and afraid, and the situation was very calm.

In order to better assimilate, the Ming Dynasty did not let the indigenous people settle together, but in the number of one to one, or even two to one, let the Central Plains immigrants and the indigenous people live together, and through the Central Plains immigrants, the culture of the Ming Dynasty will influence the indigenous people to the greatest extent and assimilate the indigenous people.

Gradually, the built county seats, government cities, etc., all had Ming officials stationed in the city, governance, the situation in the Americas was stable and healthy, and then with the passage of time, the assimilation and integration were gradually completed.
