Chapter 232: Changes in New Chang'an

Yu Hualong and Niu Jinxing left New Luoyang with the regret of not being able to visit New Chang'an, and after storms along the way, they returned to Daming smoothly for the time being.

Sun Yuzhi, who was in Ming Island, accepted Zhu Youxiao's commission and sailed to the east coast of South America with more than 30 armed merchant ships to visit Qian Shoulian and Gao Nian, who were far away from the Ming Dynasty. Sun Yuzhi has made two trips here, and then to Europe, so he is naturally familiar with the sea conditions here, and he led the fleet to sail to the low latitudes first, and then crossed the Atlantic Ocean with the help of the sea breeze, and came to the east coast of the Americas, which is also the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

The first to arrive was the Portuguese colony of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is now a huge change from a year ago, and the relocation of the Carlos family to South America has caused many families to shake up, and everyone is thinking about why this big move happened. Not long after, Theodosio, Duke of Bragança, the de facto ruler of Portugal, publicly announced that the Kingdom of Portugal would move to the South American continent, and announced the relocation plan and state subsidy policy, which made people understand the actions of the Carlos family, it turned out that the Carlos family belonged to the prophets, and what followed was the overall action of the entire wealthy family, so when Sun Yuzhi passed by Rio de Janeiro, he saw a busy scene, and Sun Yuzhi had long known about it, Because Duke Bragança's actions were still promoted by himself, he only made a supply here, and then quickly sailed towards Xin'an, where there must also be certain countermeasures, so as not to affect the situation.

Since Yu Hualong, Niu Jinxing left, staying in the new Chang'an Qian Shoulian and Gao Nian has been busy with construction, in fact, the new Chang'an is the Buenos Aires of the later generations, in the later generations this is a prosperous city, with a large number of immigrants from European countries, if it were not for Yu Hualong, Niu Venus their arrival, here will be like the later generations to become their paradise, but now everything has changed, it is occupied by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it has become the paradise of the Ming people, Qian Shoulian and Gao Nian are struggling here.

After the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty left, Qian Shoulian and Gao Nian, who were left behind, quickly opened up the situation here. Through the relationship between the largest tribe chiefs and monkeys here, not only successfully held a joint meeting of chiefs, divided the territory of each chieftain, reduced the disputes between them, and made the place initially stable, but also recruited more than 2,000 soldiers among them, these two thousand people are just a fixed quota, they take turns to participate in training, and each tribe can continue to change people for training, so that after more than a year of continuous training, so that once the war is encountered, more than 10,000 soldiers can be quickly gathered. In the process of this training, these young and strong people have also become the main force in the promotion of Ming culture here. There is also the joint promotion of the Ming culture promotion and reward system of Qian Shoulian, the cultural tradition of the Ming Dynasty has become the mainstream social culture here in just over a year, and all the civilians are approaching the Ming civilization.

The location of the new Chang'an is actually on the side of the big estuary after the two and rounds, after a period of time to understand the geographical environment here, Qian Shoulian began to name the nearby rivers and mountains, according to the nearby name of Chang'an in the Ming Dynasty, Qian Shoulian named these two rivers are Jing River and Wei River, which is the original Paraguay River and Uruguay River, which are two rivers with very rich water, especially the Jing River, it is the second largest river in South America, the river surface is wide, the water flow is gentle, and it has a high shipping value. Qian Shoulian attaches great importance to this.

The Ming army occupied the new Chang'an somewhat inexplicably, and the news was not too long for the Spaniards who were boating down the Jing River to find out, but they came with very few soldiers, and they were not prepared at first, when their ships came here to collect taxes, they found that this area had been occupied by the Ming army, and at this time it was already a matter of Qian Shoulian finishing the local chieftain.

Because the appearance of the Ming people is somewhat similar to the indigenous Indians, those Spaniards had a misunderstanding, thinking that the local indigenous Indians had rioted and expelled the Italians who ruled here, so they entered the new Chang'an curiously, and when they tried to threaten with force, they found that the people who really ruled here were another kind of people, not the indigenous people they imagined, Qian Shoulian pretended to start a negotiation with them, and thoroughly understood the details of the Spaniards. At the same time, the fleet of Gundam Nian had already surrounded the river boats that were coming down the river, so that they did not dare to make any abnormal moves.

Qian Shoulian and Gao Nian simply joined forces to disarm this wave of Spaniards, found map information about this area on them, plus threats and interrogations, and finally had a detailed understanding of the current situation in South America. The Spaniards and the Portuguese divided their respective colonial areas to avoid mutual internal friction, and the colonies here all belonged to the Spanish region, and even the Italians who ruled here also needed to pay taxes to the Spanish colonists, which were transported upstream through the Jing River, and eventually concentrated in Lima, and then transported to the Kingdom of Spain through Panama, and the entire middle and lower reaches of the Jing River could be transported by large inland ships. Knowing these circumstances, this increased Qian Shoulian's determination to seize the banks of the Jing River, whether it was the local soldiers of the Ming Dynasty or the indigenous soldiers recruited here began targeted training, Gao Nian was very concerned about this, as a soldier, everyone is willing to expand the territory, not to mention that they can move freely here.

The expedition is not too easy, even if Qian Shoulian's heart is full of desire for the Jing River Valley, he has to wait patiently for the opportunity, these captured Spanish tax collectors and soldiers, it is definitely impossible to put them back, then detain them, wait for a suitable opportunity to release them back in the future, the situation of the territory in his possession can not be known to the Spaniards in any case, send people along the Jing River valley to be strictly guarded, as long as they find ships coming from the upstream, they will all be detained, and no one will be allowed to go back.

Over the course of three months. There were more than a dozen waves of ships from the upstream, but these ships were all merchant ships, and there were no soldiers with the ships, which made it more convenient for Qian Shoulian to understand the Spaniards, after all, these merchants could not be as unfamiliar with the situation as those soldiers, these merchants were all human spirits, they were very familiar with economic intelligence, they had been coming and going here, and they were also more familiar with the products here, so that Qian Shoulian also paid more attention to them, but if they wanted to return upstream, it was absolutely impossible. Even if you want to go back to Europe along the estuary, it is impossible to stay here.

The structure of the inland river ships of the sea ships is different, the fleet of more than 20 ships up to the year are sea ships, except for some traffic boats used at sea, the rest are large ships, which cannot be driven on the inland rivers, the inland river boats are mostly flat-bottomed, wide and shallow, after all, the wind and waves encountered in the inland rivers are much worse than those on the sea. If you want to attack the inland river, you have to only use some flat fast boats, and in the next few months, you will continue to build a large number of large boats for inland waterway, because according to the map, there is still a distance of nearly three or four thousand miles from the Shuo River in New Luoyang, and at least more than 3,000 people must be dispatched to complete the clearing of the Spaniards on both sides of the Jing River, so this matter cannot be rushed. The captured ships were naturally handed over to the Gundam Navy Army, and more flat river boats had to be built, which was not a big deal for the remaining craftsmen, but there had to be enough time, and it was also necessary for the more than 2,000 Native Indian soldiers to learn to fight on the ships.

The preparation time took three months, and in these three months, Gao Nian no longer took turns to train the soldiers of a tribe, but selected some water-based soldiers from them for targeted training, teaching them how to fight on the water, and then how to use guns, how to complete the assault on the battlefield in the shortest possible time, as for the soldiers on the Ming boat, the main thing is to practice how to quickly land on the river bank and how to make sure that the boat is safe in the river.
