Chapter 706. threat

Marx once said that since the day capital came to the world, every pore has been soaked in blood and filth. With {dreams} little ◢.com

That's right!

The entire Jiangnan was stirred into a huge war, the people were displaced, and the blood and tears of countless big landlords built the prosperity of Manila in the Northern Ming Dynasty.

Population is the greatest wealth, and that's true! In July, more than 50,000 people poured into Manila, and the estates of Spanish farmers who were slaughtered and driven into the mountains to fight guerrillas were immediately filled by the later Han Chinese.

Moreover, the Luzon Islands are absolutely vast and sparsely populated for the Spaniards, and they only occupy the best position for water, light, and transportation to build sugar cane plantations, and there are large areas of wasteland near sugar cane plantations that no one cultivates.

Anyway, there was a lot of land, and the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion were deliberately instigating and secretly pushing, and the various plantation owners also turned a blind eye in order to keep people, and also allowed these displaced people who were deceived to secretly reclaim, and under the wave of a diligent hoe, the earth was opened out one green patch after another.

If the economy wants to develop, how can there be no road construction? The largest number of Southern Korean refugees who were transported to Luzon were directly formed by the East India Company to build roads.

Poor Luzon Peninsula has been rippling in the South Pacific Sea breeze for I don't know how many years, but now it is unlucky, and a thick black smoke rises into the sky, Liaodong refining, and the two-ton crucible is burning under the fine coal from the Shanxi coal mine, billowing black smoke into the air, seeing that the crucible is almost burning, several East India Company foremen are shouting and shouting, more than a dozen workers are gritting their teeth and shouting to pull the hot iron chains, in the air, under the amazing bad smell, a stream of charred black viscous liquid flows out, It was poured on piles of broken stones.

These things are black mines from Guangyuan, Sichuan, and they are called asphalt by a more familiar name in later generations. To be honest, Mao Jue had the impression that this thing was a product that could only be refined by the petroleum industry in later generations, and the only thing he had ever heard of was a little natural, that is, the asphalt lake in Central Park in the United States.

This thing is also quite legendary, this Zhang Xianzhong exchanged the population for military rations, including the local heroes who were captured by the army sent by the Longyuan Mountain to sweep and capture.

can be Haoqiang, the brain melon seeds are definitely better than the average farmer, and it is also bigger, and the other redeemed Sichuan people are assigned to state-owned enterprises, they don't have to be slaves, and they still have wages to get, and they are not happy one by one, this Haoqiang is not happy at all, where has he picked cotton and stepped on a sewing machine? So as soon as his heart was alive, this Haoqiang dedicated the black mine brought out of his home to Wen Meng, who was the leader of Shaanxi's military affairs, saying that this thing was very valuable and he was willing to run it for the regent and his old man.

However, Wen Meng didn't know the goods, and he didn't take it too seriously when he looked at the black and shiny things, so he directly sent that Haoqiang away with some silver.

In ancient times, the Xianbei Haoqiang Dugu Xin who laid the Western Wei Dynasty had an eightehedron, a seal made of coal spar, this Mao Jue ascended the throne, Wen Meng had nothing to give, so he turned out the fast asphalt black mine, and also carved an eighteen seal as a gift and gave it to Mao Jue to express his loyalty.

When Jingshi opened the gift box, he choked on the familiar taste, and Mao Jue slapped his thigh in surprise, isn't this asphalt? He knew the value of this thing clearly, so he also ordered the Ministry of Industry to organize a special delegation to Longyuan Mountain, Sichuan to investigate, and after coming back, Beiming had a Sichuan black ore import company and Zhang Xianzhong's trade also had a big project.

Not to mention other functions, this thing is much faster to build on the road than concrete! Taking advantage of the fact that the liquid was not cooled and solidified, the hot sweating profusely, the shirtless workers hurriedly mixed the melted asphalt and gravel with shovels, and then threw themselves on the road that had been flattened with a roller, and then pressed it again with a roller, and as soon as the asphalt cooled, a straight and beautiful asphalt road was pounced out.

This one was in full swing, but the other one was suddenly jingling with bells, followed by a white horse pulling a four-wheeled carriage and trotting over.

This thing is not uncommon in Jiangnan, but after all, it is only the rich who can sit up, and the workers in charge of road repair still habitually avoid a road to the side, but while walking, suddenly the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the face of a Xifan person, and all of a sudden, the originally calm road repair team suddenly became commotionous, and the workers excitedly took hoes and sticks to surround the carriage.

"What are you doing? Rebellion? ”

The level of this carriage is not low, and there is actually the protection of the cavalry of the Governor's Palace, looking at this scene, he obviously felt that his face was gloomy, and the cavalry captain who was guarding him pulled out his gun in annoyance and shouted loudly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you, Master Jun! Isn't this a bounty for Spanish cannibalism? Seeing the barbarians, the brothers couldn't help but get excited!"

Up to now, Daming still did not let go of the Spaniards in Luzon, and offered a reward to the natives and Ming immigrants, and got one, a reward of thirty taels of silver, in Daming, ten years can not earn thirty taels, even in Manila, it has to be paid for two or three years, no wonder a group of road maintenance workers are like seeing a treasure.

Listening to the foreman's stupid explanation, the cavalry from the Beijing Division Legion immediately gave full play to the discrimination between the north and the south, and learned a lesson with a triumphant and disdainful face.

"Stick! The uninformed Nanban! I will teach you today, there are many kinds of Western Tibetans, that kind of Spanish is the same as us with black hair and black eyes, short and short, like this kind of red hair and big nose bridge like a big horse monkey, this is the Dutch Fanzi, and there is blonde hair or brown hair, the hooked nose is the eagle Jili Fan That is the best Western Tibetan, our emperor admires them! Remember clearly, next time if you make a good fuss, you will have to bother the master to come to you!"

"Why don't you give way to your grandfather?"

The captain of the cavalry guard glared, and a group of road maintenance workers hurriedly hid on both sides of the team, respectfully sending them off, and watched a few cavalrymen escort the carriage to the governor's palace together, a few young people were really there with black hair and red hair, good and bad fans, and a few older ones were smiling and spitting on the ground.

"Northern nephew, what's the spirit? Long live the ancestral home of the Lord is still from our south side, who do you look down on! ”

The southerners and northerners are black to each other here, what is the southern barbarian and the northern nephew, the most depressed, but nothing is the minister of the Dutch East India Company sitting in the carriage, the representative of the seventeen-member shareholders' meeting, Sir Cohen, because the two sides treat each other as the same kind, but they don't take him for granted, really look at the horse and monkey look, so self-proclaimed as the center of civilization, wherever he goes, Cohen is extremely uncomfortable.

Hanging the carriage curtain again, Cohen couldn't help but curse in Dutch slang.

"Stupid Oriental monkey!"

But what makes him even worse is not the contempt of the Ming people, but the number of Ming people!

The Spaniards have been colonizing the East Indies for almost 100 years, and the entire Luzon colony is one of the most developed colonies in the Spanish Empire. Less than 100,000, and almost lost in the bloody fight with the Ming Dynasty. How long did the Ming colonize Luzon? Five months! Looking at this number now, this population is probably more than 100,000, and according to this development trend, it will not be long before the Ming people will surpass the number of local natives and become the largest ethnic group in the East Indies.

The Taiwan colony was under the nose of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Jue surrounded the city of Geranza, and did not even need to attack the city, and directly immigrated to reclaim it, the Dutch could only watch, this time he came to Manila, just hoping to make a truce with the Ming Dynasty, and redeem the unlucky Taiwanese Governor Vanderbilt and thousands of employees of the Dutch East India Company, and the Taiwan colony will not be wanted!

But according to the current trend, it won't be long before the Ming Dynasty manages the Luzon colony well, and Batavia and the Spice Islands will be under the eyes of the Ming Dynasty like the Taiwan colony. Just squeeze the Dutch out?

I was holding a Brazilian roll out of my hand, and the more I thought about it, the heavier it became! As the carriage shook, the wrinkled face of the old politician who stomped his feet in Europe, and the Pope's heart beat a little faster, changed constantly, but in the end, it was a palpitating ferocity that froze in his pupils.

At this moment, the cavalry team responsible for sending each other outside was also shouting loudly.

"Old monkey, the Governor's Palace has arrived!"
