Chapter 913: Rectification and Resettlement

Indeed, as the British commander-in-chief, Duke William, thought, of course, it was impossible for the Ming army to capture only the thirteen states of North America, and the goal of the Ming was the entire American continent. The reason why the attack was stopped after capturing the thirteen states of North America was just to wait for the arrival of the imperial court's transportation of war horses, so as to form an iron cavalry, better assist the army to annihilate all the best teams in Europe, and realize the plan of quickly conquering the entire North and South American continent.

The transportation across the Pacific Ocean from Daming will take at least two months, plus all aspects of preparation before transportation, it is expected that the first batch of war horses will take about three months to arrive.

At this time, two months had passed, and during these two months, the Ming army had increasingly consolidated its rule over the thirteen North American states and other occupied territories.

Before the Ming Dynasty attacked the thirteen states of North America, it attacked the Indian tribes all the way, and at the beginning, thousands of Indian tribes were destroyed by the Ming army, and naturally more than three million Indians were captured.

The Indians took too many prisoners, even if they had no combat effectiveness, the Ming army had to leave 40,000 troops to guard them, and in the end only 60,000 Ming troops went to attack the thirteen states of North America.

While conquering the thirteen states of North America, the Ming army not only defeated the British colonial army, but also captured 20,000 British troops and 230,000 British immigrants, as well as about 120,000 'Kunlun slaves'.

The so-called 'Kunlun slaves' are actually black slaves who were captured and sold from Africa by white people in European countries.

These black slaves were purchased by British immigrants on various estates and enslaved to work for their estates. In the face of these black slaves, the British immigrants oppressed and abused them very miserably, sometimes the owner of the manor would torture the black slaves in the manor whenever he was angry, the beating was small, and the wanton torture and killing were the main thing, it can be said that the black slaves were not as good as pigs and dogs in front of the British white immigrants.

The massacre of the Indians by the British, as well as the wanton brutality of black slaves, all proclaimed their bloody brutality.

Faced with more than 3 million Indian captives, as well as a total of 370,000 British captives and Kunlun slaves, the Ming had to be settled.

Yan Yingyuan made a decision according to Zhu Ci's order after asking Zhu Cijiao, who was in the imperial palace in Nanjing City, by radio.

As for the Indians, in the central and western regions, a large number of cities were built on the original Indian tribal settlements for the Indians to live in.

At the beginning, since the settlements of those tribes could support so many Indians, they must have been places with relatively fertile land, at least what they produced there could support a large number of Indians.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty would not let the entire tribe of the original Indian tribe live in one city, but disrupted all the Indians, at most let them retain the integrity of their blood direct lineage, and the Indians could bring their families to accept the resettlement in the same place.

In this way, Yan Yingyuan and other Ming troops began to urge the Indians to build cities in batches.

In the process of building the city, it is natural to consume a large amount of food, and the food produced in the local area is obviously not enough, but the Ming army conquered the thirteen states of North America, where there are incomparably vast manors opened up by the British, which are originally rich in a large amount of food, which can supply some demand, enough for the Indians to build the city.

It was only the simplest city, the amount of work could be controlled, and it took almost less than two months to complete the construction, and the disrupted Indians moved into these cities in batches under the compulsion of the Ming army, and under the compulsion of the Ming army, they opened up a large amount of land outside the city.

Since then, three million Indians have been initially settled.

In fact, the best place to settle the Indians should be the vast estates of the thirteen states pioneered by the British immigrants, where the land is the most flat and fertile, and has been cultivated by the British for many years, and the Indians only need to go to those lands to cultivate and settle directly.

But such a good place, of course, Daming has to leave it to Daming's own immigrants.

It is certain that after conquering the American continent, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably immigrate to the Americas in large numbers.

The Ming did not massacre the Indians on a large scale, and even intended to assimilate them, but before they were assimilated, they were still Indians, not the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they would not be treated as the people of the Ming Dynasty until they really became the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The Indians were settled, and then the English immigrants and black slaves were settled.

Daming has no intention of assimilating those British immigrants and black slaves, and Daming has not yet begun to immigrate to the Americas, so the manors in the thirteen states cannot be idle like this, at least they can support the daily consumption of grain and grass by the Daming American Dispatch Army in the Americas.

So, under the coercion of some Ming soldiers, the captured British immigrants and black slaves were mixed together and continued to cultivate the original estate lands.

Of course, they were no longer the owners and slave owners of the estate, they had to work with the black slaves, and anything that produced on the estate had nothing to do with them.

After nearly 100 years of development by the British, the thirteen states of North America have tens of thousands of estates of varying sizes, the large ones are thousands of hectares, and the small ones are dozens of hectares, all over the entire thirteen states, and the annual grain production is huge, which can not only be consumed by hundreds of thousands of British immigrants in the Americas, but also can be transported back to Europe to sell and raise livestock, even so, there is still a large surplus of grain every year.

Being placed to live and work with the former black slaves was a nightmare for these hacienda owners.

In the past, they did not treat black slaves as human beings, not only enslaved black slaves, but also wantonly tortured and beat black slaves, but now they are in the same position as black slaves, and they have no guns in their hands that threaten black slaves, and there is no doubt that their fate is miserable.

The black slaves had long been very clear about the British who had enslaved them, and now that everyone was in the same position, the black slaves had the opportunity to take revenge, and of course they would not let it go.

In addition to the revenge of the black slaves, the captive British immigrants had to work and cultivate the land every day.

They used to be slave owners, and it was good to enslave slaves, and all the work was done by slaves, but now it was their turn to do it, and they were so tired every day that they wanted to die. Under these conditions, the captive British immigrants lived in a nightmare every day.

It's the black slaves.

Although the Ming army still let them work, but because of the share of the captured British immigrants, their daily labor was less than half compared with before, and besides, the Ming army was still full, and the food was quite abundant, and the black slaves even felt that life at the moment was much more comfortable than before.

In the past, the British enslaved them every day, giving them the worst food to eat, and not being full. The mere fact that saturation gave them the opportunity to take revenge on the British who had enslaved them before was enough to make the black slaves extremely grateful to the Ming army.

The mentality of the black people was diametrically opposed to that of the captured British immigrants, who felt that they were living in a nightmare, praying all the time to their God, praying that their colonial army would come back soon, drive out the hated Ming army, and save them from the nightmare.

The prayers of the British prisoners of emigration were apparently of little avail, for three months had passed, and the British colonial troops they had hoped for had not returned to rescue them.

As time passed, despair and numbness began to spread among these British immigrant captives.

However, on the side of the Ming army, the rectification and resettlement of the occupied areas gradually came to an end, and the first batch of war horses carried by the Ming court will also arrive on the North American continent, once those war horses arrive, the Ming army will inevitably continue to attack north and south, expand the territory, and the clouds of war will once again hang over the heads of the European colonial armies in the Americas.
