Even if the cement road on the Isthmus of Panama is not repaired, as long as the castle and port of Panama City on the Pacific side are repaired, Marin intends to send a fleet directly to find a route to Daming and Japan.

Especially in Japan, Marin not only covets Japan's gold, silver and copper mines, but also covets Japan's population......

Yes, Marin covets the population of Japan! Because, although the Japanese farmers are not as strong as the African Lao Hei, their working ability is far from being comparable to the Lao Hei.

Why? Because Japanese farmers have more brains than African old blacks......

Although he hates the devils of later generations, Ma Lin has to admit that the Japanese, like the Chinese, are also a hard-working and hard-working people who are good at learning. Japanese farmers may be short, but their agricultural skills are a few streets away. It is more efficient to work with a Japanese farmer than to work with a black man.

Moreover, there is a very important characteristic of Japanese people, and that is good obedience. This is something that Lao Hei does not have in the 21st century.

Lao Hei loves to be lazy and run away, and it is very troublesome to manage. Unlike Japanese farmers, it is estimated that they are easier to manage than Chinese farmers. After all, Chinese farmers still have a tradition of peasant uprisings, while Japanese farmers seem to be more honest......

Marin plans to directly sell people in Japan after opening up the Japanese route, go to Panama to reclaim the wasteland, and help build roads. With the obedience of Japanese farmers, it is estimated that it is much easier to manage than Lao Hei.

Moreover, it is not difficult to sell serfs in Japan now. Why? Because Japan is now in the midst of a period of chaos among village chiefs......

During the Warring States period of the village chief, what was the most precious? Iron, of course! Japan does not produce iron, and most of the iron needed to make katanas is smuggled from Fujian and is called Min Iron. Then, by Japanese blacksmiths, thousands of hammers were forged into the famous Japanese sword, that is, the samurai sword.

Moreover, in the battle of the village chief in Japan, the samurai were the main fighting force. So, there are a lot of katanas that are needed. Naturally, there is a lot of iron needed.

Therefore, as long as Marin let the merchant ships carry a large amount of iron material over, the village chiefs who kept it would come and buy it. Or, try to come and rob...... Because, not every village chief has the money to buy it......

But that's not a problem, Marin can accept people instead of money......

No money, right? Still want to buy iron? No problem, go get the farmers in exchange! What the? Are you reluctant to rule the people? No problem, if you can't give up your own peasants, you won't go to other villages to rob them? Robbed the peasants from other villages, and exchanged them for iron......

Moreover, Marin also plans to sell armor to those village chiefs in Japan. Of course, not some European-style plate armor. With the height and physical strength of the Japanese at that time, if they were really dressed in a set of 50-pound plate armor, the samurai master had to be pressed down.

Therefore, Ma Lin's plan is to recruit some craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty, and also buy Fujian iron from the Ming Dynasty, directly build Ming Dynasty-style armor on the island of Taiwan, and then sell it to the Japanese village chiefs at a high price. As for the price, it is to exchange the stolen farmer for ......

Marin's merchant ships then transported the Japanese farmers who traded the following year to Panama to build roads and log the land.

As for whether the Japanese are adapted to the climate of Panama and whether they will die if they are bitten by poisonous insects and mosquitoes, that Marin has not considered it and does not care.

Anyway, the population of Japan is very large, and if one of them dies, they will exchange iron and armor for another batch to fill the pit. There will always be tenacious Japanese farmers who will survive in Panama......

Marin suddenly discovered that using Japanese farmers to reclaim the tropical regions of the Americas seemed to be a very good option.

During this era, Japan was in a state of civil war, chaos in the country, and an economic collapse. In the huge Japanese archipelago, there are probably more people left. Marin remembers that in his last life, he read a post that said that in the 1500 world population ranking, Japan actually ranked third in the world, with a population of 17 million, 2 million more than France. As for England's less than 3 million, it is not even a fraction of Japan's. The entire HRE Empire has only about 10 million people, which is completely incomparable with Japan.

Therefore, even if Marin took tens of thousands of serfs from Japan, it would not have a particularly great impact on Japan. Moreover, Japanese farmers are obedient and have excellent agricultural skills, and they are indeed very good agricultural slaves. Moreover, Marin is not distressed when he is dead......

In addition, to mine Chilean saltpeter, Marin also plans to get some farmers from Japan to mine it. Although the conditions over there were harsh and there was an extreme lack of fresh water, Marin didn't care. Or the death of a few Japanese farmers for that reason, he is not distressed......

Of course, Marin is not a pervert and will not abuse those Japanese farmers. The food and fresh water that should be given will still be given. It's just that whether they can adapt to the local climate and survive depends on their own creation.

In addition, Marin also plans to hire a group of down-and-out samurai as mercenaries in Japan. What are they hired for? Of course, it's to help conquer those mountain people on the island of Taiwan......

Marin took a fancy to the gold mines of the island of Taiwan, as well as the fertile soil and dense forests. It's just that the subtropical climate of the island of Taiwan may not be adapted to the European mercenaries sent by Marin in the past.

Perhaps, it would not be a big problem to let the European mercenaries armed with muskets deal with the indigenous Pingpu people along the coast. But dealing with the mountain tribes in the dense forests of the mountains will become a problem. Therefore, it is a very good choice to hire some poor Japanese samurai and let them be cannon fodder to help conquer the natives of Taiwan Island.

In addition, it is also a very good choice to use those poor Japanese samurai to conquer the Philippines. Anyway, those Filipino natives will definitely not be able to defeat the Japanese samurai who are skilled in martial arts. And those Japanese samurai who were highly skilled in martial arts were no match for the German warriors with muskets in hand. After all, no matter how high your martial arts are, I can knock you down with one shot......

In this way, Marin could use a small number of European mercenaries to drive the hired Japanese down-and-out samurai to complete the occupation and domination of Taiwan and the Philippines.

After that, they plundered the local population in the Philippines and sent them to the Americas, where they were mixed with Japanese farmers, so that the Japanese farmers could teach the uncivilized Filipino barbarians in agricultural techniques. In the same way, let them and the Japanese intermarry each other and confuse the blood. In this way, it will not be possible for the Japanese to grow big at the bottom in the future. They can't even tell their own race, what kind of independent thought and resistance are they talking about? Alternatively, you can let them cross with the Indians......

As long as the blood of those Japanese slaves was mixed up in the future, so that they could not form a unified nation, language and culture, it would be difficult for them to organize a unified front of resistance.

At that time, the German colonists only needed to practice martial arts and musket shooting skills every day, and be ready to suppress the resistance of the slaves at any time. Slaves from Japan and Southeast Asia were responsible for cultivating the farmland......

Of course, Marlin also has a more long-term plan: once agricultural machinery is developed, there will be no need for so many serfs. The descendants of serfs from Japan and Southeast Asia will be concentrated in designated areas, such as tropical islands in the Caribbean Sea, or Colombia. At least, the Essence of the North American continent region will not leave them. In this way, we will also be able to avoid the emergence of various social and national contradictions in the future......
