Chapter 741: New World Development Plan

After hearing the officials who returned to Guangzhou with the fleet and Yin Lei, Shang Feng and other Hopi and Shoshone heads to report on what they had seen, heard, and done in their hometown of Fusang during these days, everyone present was fascinated and yearned for that vast land.

"What did you do with the Spaniards?

Suddenly, Li Shouhan suddenly thought of the more than 100 members of the Spanish expedition, and he wanted to know whether the generals of the Nanyue Army in Xinchaoge and Dingdong City had enough wisdom and courage for the disposal of these white-skinned pigs.

"The subordinates defeated this expedition, and with the help of Shang Feng and other leaders who understood righteousness, they forced this Spanish expedition to surrender to our Nanyue army."

As we mentioned earlier, Viscount Fernandez intends to blame this group of barbaric and uncivilized Shoshone people, so as to save His Royal Highness the Viscount's own life and property. Sure enough, when he was tied up by Shang Feng and others and sent to the camp of the Nanyue Army, Ruoshui Dao Chang personally stepped down from his seat, untied the ropes on his body, and ordered someone to fetch clothes and drape them on his body.

In addition to arranging a banquet to surprise him and his subordinates, he also took him to walk around the temporary camp of the Nanyue Army.

"If you have suitable goods in your camp, you can also go to this official to trade and trade." With a sincere look on his face, the chief of Wakamido pointed to the bustling Indians who came to trade with baskets on their backs in the camp, and in a very warm tone extended an invitation to Viscount Fernandez, who had been returned with his sword.

"That's a good opportunity!" That night, when the Spanish expedition released back to his camp gathered to discuss the question of where to stay, Fernández looked like a wild wolf, with a greedy and bloodthirsty look in his eyes.

"The Seris are self-conceived, showing us their wealth and strength, trying to put pressure on us. But I don't want to see all the things in their camp! Defenses in the camp were lax. People can't help but come and go. Viscount Ben has decided that my expedition to the west coast of the Spanish New World will launch a night attack tonight! Break through the camp of the Ming people in one fell swoop! Create a glorious record worthy of Pizarro's predecessors! When the news reaches Madrid, Your Majesty will definitely knight each of us! ”

This group of expeditions composed of thieves, hooligans, liars, gamblers and other social dregs, even if they applaud in unison, went to prepare. Night. quietly entered the camp of the Nanyue Army.

As a result, a very cheesy scene was repeated.

When this group of scum rushed over the trench, ready to set fire to the camp, kill, and create chaos, and then smashed the Chinese army and captured the commander of Ruoshui and the Nanyue army in one fell swoop, they found that the camp was quiet, and the silence was a little uneasy.

Just when I didn't know what to do, a cannon like spring thunder rang out. Immediately after, the torches, thousands of torches like a scourge purgatory that suddenly erupted from underground, illuminating the eyes of this group of scum for a burst of dizziness.

"Your Highness Fernandez, why are you in such a hurry? Don't come by day or by night? The officer who led the team was also a joker, and at this time, he didn't forget to tease Viscount Fernández a few words.

Later, Yin Lei, Shang Feng and a group of expedition officers asked Ruoshui Dao Chief how they knew that Fernandez and others would come to steal the camp and rob the village. If the chief of the aqueduct strokes his beard with one hand, "when he enters the city camp." Is it a good kind of thing to have a twinkling gaze and look around? Therefore, the poor road concluded that his people would come and attack at night! ”

Then if the chief of the water channel said in his heart, Lao Tzu was in the hall back then, and when he walked in all directions to deceive the young women of the good family. It's almost this look, I want to deceive Lao Tzu, Master Zu is here! The implication is that I am an old thief. Don't play this with me!

After that, the Taoist chief screened the more than 100 prisoners, and some of the craftsmen were left behind to serve as hard labor with the army. Fernandez and several other leaders were either cannonballed, stoned, dogs, bears, and insects. ”

"Wait, wait!" Li Huamei seemed to have discovered another interesting thing, ignoring the already somewhat bulging figure, and moved her chair, "What did you say about cannon execution, stone execution, and dog execution?" ”

The messenger looked at Li Huamei, a little hesitant, it seemed that it was not easy to speak.

"Huh! If the county lord asks you, you just have to say it! Li Peilin on the side was a little impatient and opened his mouth to supervise.

"Lord Changshi, it's not that my subordinates don't want to say it, it's just that this matter is too bloody, and my subordinates are only afraid that it will frighten the county lord." The messenger was also a cheerful man, and directly stated the reason for his concern.

"It's okay, just say it! The county lord is also a battle-hardened person, what bloody scenes have he not seen? Before anyone else could speak, Jun Ma Shilang had already opened his mouth to endorse the messenger.

"That's good. The subordinates were offended. ”

For the head Fernandez, according to the practice of the Indians, he was executed. The so-called insect duel stripped him naked, shaved his hair, smeared his scalp and upper body with some honey, and buried the lower half of the self-proclaimed Spanish viscount in a sand pit, and the sweet smell of honey lured nearby insects and ants to come and eat the Lord Fernández screaming for days and nights before dying.

"As for the other leaders, depending on the severity of the circumstances, or the Shoshone and Hopi who were plagued to death with stones, it is called a stone death; Or a group of dogs bite indiscriminately, which is called a dog decision. The perpetrators of individual crimes were coated with bee candy and other substances all over their bodies, tied up and thrown into the forest, making brown bears ****. It is called the bear decision. ”

It turned out that the leader of the enemy who was executed thousands of miles away still had so many tricks, which couldn't help but make Shi Lang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and was accustomed to seeing death, also feel numb in his back.

"Humph! Nothing new! This official had dealt with the leader of the Rakshasa people in Liaodong in this way! But Li Peiting listened to it and was quite unimpressed.

Li Shouhan nodded secretly in his heart in agreement with the approach of the chief of Ruoshui and the expedition team. The use of such an extremely cruel punishment to deal with the Spaniards could create a terrifying image in the minds of other Spaniards when the news spreads, and secondly, the tribes who participated in the execution have since formed a mortal enmity with the Spaniards! This is the famous "vote for the name"! From then on, these tribes could only wholeheartedly follow the Nanyue army to deal with the Spaniards, the French, and the English on this continent.

Sure enough, after disposing of Fernandez's expedition, the chief of Wakamito used the map and sea ships he had left behind to order the captives to lead the way south, with the Shoshone of Shang Feng as the vanguard. The so-called Viceroyalty of New Spain that went straight to the Spaniards!

After several engagements, the Spanish army began to shrink southward. In the so-called Viceroyalty of New Spain, the flags flying over a large area of land have changed from the white flame flag of the Spanish Empire to the phoenix flag and the iron-blooded eighteen-star military flag of the Southern Guangdong Army!

"Get the map!"

After hearing the envoy's account of the situation of the Spaniards in the New World or the homeland of Yin Shang in the past two years, Li Shouhan did not say much, but ordered someone to take the map and corroborate it with the map sent by the expedition.

Open the map drawn by the expedition. It can be clearly seen that a red route from Xinchaoge and Dingdong City in the east to Guangzhou and Tamna Island in the west runs from the East China Sea through the Korean Strait to the Japanese archipelago, to the Kuril Islands, through the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula to the Aleutian Islands in the North Pacific, and directly to Alaska. On the map, it's like a pontoon island connecting Asia and the Americas! In the meantime, the distance between the islands, most of which is only ten or twenty nautical miles, is really a pontoon bridge in the North Pacific Ocean. Not far south of the pontoon island is the famous Kuroshio Current and the Pacific Current, which flow eastward all year round.

"This is the map and nautical chart that I have drawn up, if the lord plans to expand to the land of Yin Shang in a big way, it is safer to take this route, but it will take a long time. It takes about a year each way. And it is necessary to build supply depots and ports along the way. ”

While pointing out the map he drew for Li Shouhan, he talked about various points along the way. The messenger ordered a note to be taken out of the book.

"This is a little opinion of the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army on the land of Yin Shang, please take a look."

Li Shouhan didn't bother to look at the report of the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army for the time being, and he devoted all his attention to the map under his feet.

The map of the New World, drawn up by the Department of Commerce and Intelligence and the Investigation Office, was not as detailed as that of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but it was quite informative. It shows the current distribution of several powers in the New World. The closest to the Eastern Crusade of the Southern Cantonese Army was the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Spain.

In Li Shouhan's eyes and memory. The Viceroyalty of New Spain now encompasses Mexico, Central America (except Panama) in present-day North America, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, New Galicia, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands. Originally, the jurisdiction of this satrapy also included the Luzon Islands, which are located in southeastern Asia, not far from Guangzhou, but many years ago. Luzon has become a province under the rule of the Southern Yue Army. Every year, a large amount of silver, copper, cane sugar, rice, timber and other materials are provided.

To the south along the coastline is the Viceroyalty of Peru, another of the four viceroyalties of the Spanish colonial empire.

And the Viceroyalty of Peru, which is responsible for managing all the Spanish colonies except Venezuela, including the Isthmus of Panama and South America, is a piece of fatty meat that he can't wait to swallow in his stomach right away! The first pot of gold used for large-scale industrial construction was the first pot of gold that the Nanyue Army made a fortune that was used for large-scale industrial construction, and all the people agreed without disagreement that it was the gold and silver that the lord and his people snatched from Luzon! But the huge amount of gold and silver was brought from Peru by the Spaniards in galleons!

Throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties, almost all the silver circulating in the land of China came from Peru and Mexico!

However, looking at Peru, which is far away from the two strongholds of Dingdong City and Xinchaoge, although it has already completed the settlement of property rights with Portugal and other European countries within the so-called legal scope, almost the whole world has already recognized that the entire Spanish colony in South America belongs to the sacred and inviolable land of the Southern Yue Army. However, it is still necessary to capture, manage, and develop inch by inch, mile by mile.

Peru is rich in mineral resources and is one of the 12 largest mining countries in the world. Mainly copper, lead, zinc, silver, iron and petroleum, etc. The reserves of bismuth and vanadium rank first in the world, copper occupies the third place, and silver and zinc occupy the fourth place. There are 400 million barrels of oil and 7.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The forest cover rate is 58%, with an area of 77.1 million hectares, second only to Brazil in South America. Hydropower and marine resources are extremely abundant, fishery resources are abundant, and fishmeal production ranks among the highest in the world. In 2009, Peru ranked first in the world in terms of silver production, second in copper production and second in zinc production. It is the third largest producer of tin and the sixth largest producer of gold. Iron ore: Peru is rich in iron ore, mainly concentrated in the Marcona region in the south. Among them, the reserves of Marcona iron ore belonging to Shougang Secret Iron Company can reach 6. 200 million tons, the mining method is open-pit multi-step mining, and the adjacent Banggou mining area has proven iron ore reserves of more than 1.4 billion tons. The whole of Peru is estimated to have iron ore resources of more than 3 billion tons, and most of them are open-pit shallow iron ore!

In contrast, the ****, which is known as a vast land, is simply a barren place!

If nothing else, silver, copper and zinc alone would be enough to fight an all-out war with Spain. Moreover, Peru's mineral resources are mainly distributed in the Andes Mountains, and it happens to be on the west coast!

Once it was occupied and developed by the Southern Guangdong Army, the Pampas Plateau of the Andes, which seemed to be mountainous and wooded, was truly an inexhaustible treasure trove for the sons and daughters of China!

But. It's a great undertaking that spans generations!

After calming down a little, Li Shouhan took back his thoughts of wandering to the new continent thousands of miles away with great effort, and tried to return to the present, focusing on the officials and leaders who rushed back from the new continent in front of him.

"Your name is Yin Lei? Your name is Shang Feng? Are they all descendants of Yin Shang? "Except for the feather headdress on his head and some tattoos on his face and hands exposed, Yin Lei and Shang Feng are completely dressed in Chinese. Walking on the streets of Guangzhou or Hue, anyone who sees it will think that this person is a naturalized native, and will not think of anything else.

"Exactly!" Seeing that the lord asked his head. couldn't help but feel excited in the hearts of Yin Lei and Shang Feng. Immediately he fell to his knees and prostrated himself.

"No need. The two of them have military merits, and they all belong to the same Chinese lineage. Why bother. You two, what are your official positions now? ”

"My lord, without the lord's fairness, I don't dare to confer an official without permission. It was only given the position of the two leaders to try out the position of 100 households, in order to control the subordinates and so on. The envoy hurriedly explained to Li Shouhan, and explained to the envoy. Li Shouhan snorted and expressed his satisfaction.

"Try 100 households? It's a little small! From now on, the two of you will be the job of a thousand households! ”

"Thank you for the promotion!" Yin Lei and Shang Feng were overjoyed at once, and they never thought that they would jump directly from a hundred households to a thousand households in one fell swoop!

Not to mention that the two of them went down to receive the official uniform seal documents happily, the atmosphere in the entire palace also became quite joyful. But there are also undercurrents in joy.

Among other things, the map sent back by Chief Wakamichi shows how huge this vast land has been given to the Crusade by the hands of the Shoshone and Hopi. It is more than 1,500 miles long from east to west, and more than 5,600 miles long from north to south. I'm afraid that the area can't be the size of the whole South Middle School? In such a vast area, no matter who the lord sends, facing the descendants of Yin Shang who are a few points behind the natives in the mountains and forests, as well as the defeated Spaniards, as long as they are not confused and stupid, they can establish a lot of achievements!

What's more, Yin Lei and Shang Feng, the two newly promoted thousand households, had already proposed to the lord on behalf of many descendants of Yin Shang, hoping to go south to conquer the Spaniards as soon as possible and rescue the brothers and sisters of the Southern Route Army of the Great Shang Eastern Expedition ravaged by the Spaniards!

At this point, who in the entire palace doesn't know that the territory occupied by the so-called Southern Route Army has long been mortgaged to our lord by the Portuguese deflated three? If nothing else, just to get this piece of land in his pocket, the lord will also order the Eastern Expeditionary Army to go south!

As a result, from the ladies in the inner house, who already had sons who were close to the weak crown, to the officials of various ministries and departments outside, they all started to make small calculations. Start planning your own prospects.

"In the future, it will be decided that all the natives, who belong to the Eastern Expeditionary Army, can be awarded the positions of 100 households and 100 households according to the population of the tribe, and whether Ding Zhuang in the tribe exceeds 100 people as the standard."

That night, in Li Shouhan's study, the lights were bright and the red candles were feverish. Li Peilin, Li Peiting's brothers, Li Huamei, Shi Lang and his wife, Zuo Tianpeng, Xu Huanshan, Wu Cunjie, Zhang Cheng and other civil and military officials crowded a room.

Everyone listened to a squire read the post sent by the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army (that is, the upgraded number of the expedition team that is now going to the hometown of Yin Shang) in a low voice. It's not so much a post as a planning proposal for how to develop and build the West Coast.

"We are different from the red-haired ghosts, they are invaders, and they have come to plunder all kinds of valuable goods. We are the owners of this land, and we are here to build. Li Shouhan made the final decision for this statement.

After a battle between the East Expeditionary Army, the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army was finally finalized by Li Shouhan and handed over to his old team, Xu Huanshan, who was born as a junior follower.

"Huzi, you are now the governor of my Nanyue Army's Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the soldiers, horses, money, and food affairs! The seal and the letter of aphorism will be issued to you later. The king intends to order you to establish at least two towns in this land of Fuso. Fusang South Town and Fusang North Town. But at the moment, it seems that North Town has some scale, and South Town wants you to reclaim it. ”

Li Shouhan pointed to the Viceroyalty of Peru on the map, the red dot representing the location of the Viceroyalty of Peru, and trembled under the influence of his index and middle fingers.

Beizhen is based on the current Dingdong City and the new Chaoge, and is established separately. The following can be set up Dingdong Left Guard, Dingdong Right Guard, New Dynasty Song Left Guard, New Dynasty Song Right Guard, etc., under each guard, but also continue to establish the system, with thousands of households, hundreds of households as a unit, the Ming Dynasty guard system copied in the management of various tribes.

"If the Ding Zhuang of each tribe exceeds the size of the establishment, half of the excess shall be handed over to your governor's palace for control. You can call these people Xuan Ding, or Yu Ding. Rely on this part of the soldiers and horses to disrupt the confusion between the tribes. ”

Since then, in the land of Fuso, on the west coast of the land called America in the New World by the red-haired ghosts and white-skinned pigs, there have gradually appeared cities with the names of left guard, right guard, avant-garde, and middle guard, and around the city, there are various villages and towns from 100 to 900 households. With the change of the times, the place name of a certain shack gradually appeared, and most of those were the first inland immigrants to arrive here to build shacks and cultivate the location.

A new broom sweeps clean. Immediately, Xu Huanshan put forward a bunch of requirements to Li Shouhan.

He took the post from the guard's hand, flipped through the relevant chapters, and began to make requests to Li Shouhan one by one.

First, it is necessary to select some skilled young and strong salt workers from the Yinggehai Salt Works in Qiongzhou Prefecture to Fusang North Town, because according to the situation reflected in this statement by the chief of Ruoshui, there is not a decent salt field on the entire west coast. "If your subordinates have a salt pan in their hands, they can trade with each other, and their subordinates can use salt as a weapon to control the surrounding tribes, just like my Ming Dynasty dealt with the Tusi Tartars everywhere in the interior."

In addition to the salt farm, there is also a pot for shochu, and condiments such as soy sauce and vinegar can be made to sell in addition to brewing.

Pots, vinegar mills, and oil mills should be set up to imperceptibly transform the Shoshone people, Hopi people, and Crow people in terms of diet, and transform their ideology and consciousness by transforming their diet and stomach. At the same time, a lot of trade goods can also be produced.

Second, Xu Huanshan asked Li Shouhan to gather the surplus blacksmith masters from Foshan and other places and hand them over to him, and he wanted to go to Fusang North Town to mine ores, smelt iron, and make iron.

Third, he even asked Li Shouhan to allocate more village and town officials to him, in order to establish official offices at all levels. In addition to village officials, such as teachers, doctors, those who know how to breed, steers and geldings, and all kinds of technical talents are even more good.

"As much as he can give you, the king will give you! In addition to what you said, those cattle and sheep breeding stock, peony horses, horses, pig seeds, grain seeds, you can also bring as much as you can when you set off! ”

Regarding Xu Huanshan's plan to go to Fusang to open up wasteland and farm to live, Li Shouhan not only refuted, but agreed.

"Father, if you want to conquer the Spanish Hongmaoyi people and rescue the descendants of the Southern Route Army of the Yin Shang Eastern Expedition Army in Fusang South Town, I am afraid that there is only a sea route in the north that is a little thin, and the sons are not talented, and they are willing to lead the water division to go out to the sea, step on the waves for thousands of miles, and find another route for our Nanyue Army!"

Shi Lang, who had been sitting on the side for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and was a little eager to try. (To be continued.) )

PS: Sorry, I just played with the new release system.
