The aborigines of the Americas are Indians, which is almost known to later generations, in fact, the Ming Empire at this time also knew, they not only knew that the aborigines here were Indians, but also knew that the name here was America.

The reason is simple, because Columbus discovered the American continent as early as 1492 AD, and at the same time he also met the Indians.

However, Columbus always thought that this was India, because he was originally going to India and the Ming Dynasty, but he went in the wrong direction and came to the Americas.

To the end of his life, he thought this was India, because the greeting he met with Indians was: Indian, which sounded similar to India.

Even, when he later arrived on an island in the Caribbean, he thought that he had reached the coast of Daming, because the people there were all legendary yellow-skinned.

Ten years later, another explorer, Amerigo. Vespsy came to this land again, and confirmed that it was not the legendary Asian continent, but another new continent, and named it America after him.

This all happened more than 100 years ago, and the two explorers were financed by Spain and Portugal, allies of the Ming Empire, who naturally knew that this was the Americas, and the aborigines here were Indians.

As a traverser, Zhu Cijiong naturally knows more than the people of this era, and no one has studied the origin of the Indians at this time, but Zhu Cijiong knows that the Indians in the Americas migrated from Asia.

This so-called migration does not mean a one-time large-scale migration, but a slow migration over a period of thousands or even tens of thousands of years through various means.

And the last group, according to legend, was the Mongols and Song people who were blown to the American continent by a storm at sea when Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, attacked Dongying.

There is no doubt about this, the weak Dongying was not the opponent of the powerful Yuan Dynasty at that time, and the reason why the Yuan Dynasty's two expeditions to Dongying failed, the same reason as the failure of the Spanish Armada expedition to Britain was that it encountered a storm at sea, and most of the warships and soldiers were blown away!

In other words, it is likely that some of the Indians during the Ming Dynasty were not assimilated by the Indians who arrived in the Americas thousands or even tens of thousands of years earlier, and they may still maintain their own language or customs.

For this reason, Zhu Cijiong specially recruited a group of Mongolians from Monan, Mobei and the Western Regions, which almost included most of the Mongolian tribes, that is, almost a few people were recruited from each Mongolian tribe, and they were a large family of men, women, and children.

These people are Zhu Cijiong's countermeasures for Lu Xiangsheng, simply put, it is to try to find the unassimilated Mongolian and even Song people, and then have a good relationship with them, and then gradually establish good relations with Indian tribes throughout North America through them, so that conflicts can be avoided.

In fact, the Indians were quite friendly to outsiders at first, like when Columbus explored, there were so many people, if it wasn't for the friendliness of the local Indians, they would definitely not be able to go back.

It was only later that the European powers slowly had a conflict with the Indians for land and resources, and this contradiction gradually evolved into a war after the later Mi State, until it evolved into a massacre of the Indians.

Of course Zhu Cijiong would not do this, at this time the Ming Dynasty did not lack land, and the Indians in North America did not occupy much land, and the resources, the hunting resources needed by the Indians and the mineral resources needed by the Ming Empire did not conflict substantially.

Therefore, for the Ming Empire, it is not necessary to exclude and slaughter the Indians at all, and it is better to turn all of them into the subjects of the Ming Empire.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally knew that the emperor's policy towards the local Indians was mainly to win over and be soft, so when he heard Chen Yutai say that he had chosen to build a joint base for the army and navy, or that there were Indian tribes in Jinshan City, his brows instantly furrowed.

The difficulty of building a city on someone else's territory, and not just doing it, is not ordinarily difficult.

He even wanted to build a city in a different place, but after some understanding, he had to give up reluctantly, because the whole port is also rich in fresh water resources.

What they want to build here is not a small city, at least a million people, and it will even be expanded later, because the regular army and the vassal army that came here in the early stage alone have a total of 500,000 people, and the employees of the major factories are at least more than 100,000, where is there so much fresh water for them to use in ordinary places.

Lu Xiangsheng finally decided to bring people over first, it is best to solve the problem through peaceful means, if not, then only to drive away, the emperor said that wooing and Huairou is not blindly accommodating, for those who can't win over and Huairou, then only you're welcome.

After everyone discussed it, Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered Yang Zhong and Zu Dashou to take 100,000 loyal soldiers and 50,000 soldiers of the First Army of Dongying to assist Chen Yutai in building the port, and all the materials for building the port were also unloaded here.

And early the next morning, he took 100,000 Tianxiong troops and 50,000 soldiers of the First Army of Dongying, took a boat, and under the guidance of Zhao Mingfeng, rushed to the selected place to build Jinshan City, as for the materials for building the city and the grain and grass of 150,000 horses, he naturally brought it with him.

Most of these armed ships and super battleships are going to turn around, and at most dozens of armed ships are left to assist them in transferring materials, and of course the materials for building the city and the materials for building the port cannot be unloaded together, and it will be troublesome to transfer them when the time comes.

Lu Xiangsheng's idea was to be in place at one time, unload all the supplies as soon as possible, and let the fleet pick up the second batch of people and supplies, but he didn't think about going back to find other places.

Fortunately, the place where the city was built was more than a hundred miles away from the port, and the speed of the ship arrived in more than two hours.

Lu Xiangsheng also had little experience in how to contact the local natives, but on the premise of valuing peace, he still ordered the army not to get off the ship first, but to send Zhao Mingfeng with a few Jinyi guards to try to communicate with the local tribes to see if they could send someone to the ship to discuss.

If 150,000 people go down in an uproar, there is a chance that it will cause people to misunderstand, after all, people are not stupid, so many weapons in their hands to that station, it is difficult for people to believe that you are not here to invade.

Zhao Mingfeng had not contacted the Indian tribe here in advance, and the emperor also had an explanation, because the communication personnel had not been found at that time, and he did not come with the expedition team, so he rashly contacted others, in case of misunderstanding, it would be difficult to make up for it.

Lu Xiangsheng was also quite cautious about the first contact with the Indians, and he even left the super battleship he was on to bring the summoned Mongolian people and related materials to an armed fortune ship, just for fear that the dense artillery on the super battleship would scare people.
