In the twentieth year of Chengtian, 1794 in the Western calendar.

In the Americas, in the Yatu region, the newly established Xue Kingdom towered in the northwest corner of the later Lighthouse Country. This newly established country, in the calluses of countless immigrants, is radiating vitality little by little, blooming with a brilliant new look.

The new world of America, the new world of China!

Everything is so magical, such a fertile and vast land, there is not a decent country, but only occupied by a group of primitive tribes-tyrannical creatures.

So, the Europeans came, and the Chinese also came. Villages with small populations, but well-armed and intact appeared on the land of Yatu.

Their population was probably only thirty or forty households, about two hundred people, but at least a hundred muskets, two or more small cannons.

The shells of the latter are also more shotgun.

And such a firepower configuration is no longer something that the Indians in the Yatu area can resist. The sound of gunfire tells the original inhabitants of the area who is the real owner of the place.

Groups of Indians were driven eastward, or simply surrendered.

The subjects of Xue are very grateful to the Indians, these people do not have the feeling of compatriots in their hearts at all, just like those black Shuli in Africa, the tribe is their world, everything is for the tribe. Therefore, the Indians who took refuge and submitted to the Xue State turned around and killed the Indians of other tribes, but there was no rebound.

The Indians did not have a complete confederation, they were inferior to the Indians in the east, and there was a combination of forces such as the Great Tribal Alliance, and the Indians here did not have a strong leader who everyone could believe in, they were absolutely scattered. Shattered and fragmented, they were simply irresistible in the face of the oppression of thousands of armed immigrants on the west coastline of North America.

Either they chose to submit, and then the whole tribe was divided, and the Indians in the tribe were scattered into different villages as family units; Either that or they have to move eastward.

Just like the Indians in the original plane of time and space moved west, in today's time and space, the Americans have not yet risen, but the Chinese have rushed over from the west, so they can only move - this is another 'road of blood and tears'.

The Chinese's 'Eastward Movement' will continue uninterrupted for the next hundred years, until the Chinese step on every inch of North America.

Of course, the Indians also had the option to die. There is also resistance among them, and they will engage in harassment and sneak attacks.

Therefore, the villages of Chinese immigrants had to be walled, from Xue to Cai, and this was the case in any vassal state. Because this place has a bit of the flavor of the pre-Qin Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty, the princes and kings can bump into the barbarians when they go out. Although the deterrent power of the Indians was much worse than that of the barbarians in those years, the settlement strongholds, villages and towns of various countries must also set up relatively good fortifications and defense systems, especially the villages arranged in the border areas and far away from the towns.

Tacoma, the port city of Tacoma at the southern end of Puget Sound, now has a new name - Nanshui Town.

The superior geographical location and the surrounding environmental resources were valued by European immigrants in the original time and space, and now they are also seen by the Xue people. Not only did they build N Zhuangzi here, but they also built a small town, and if it was developed properly, it would be a county in three or five years. It is more likely to become a government in the future.

Somewhere in the river bend outside the town, hundreds of honest North and Japanese people are working on a cube building. The building is about 10 meters wide and 10 meters high, with several small openings on each of the four sides, which can be used as both shooting holes and lookouts. At the top of the building, a small penthouse was built, with parapets around the top floor, and a small diagonal drape at the bottom, which was set to counteract the recoil of the guns when fired, so as to facilitate the rapid reset of the guns.

All in all, from Chen Ming's point of view, this is a standard turret. That's right, this is the famous devil's turret.

As a post-80s generation who grew up watching anti-Japanese war movies when he was a child, Chen Ming can definitely draw the appearance of the devil's turret.

There are also trenches dug around the turret, which are deep and wide, and there are fences and breastwork walls, and there is also a barracks and a multi-functional room integrating various functions such as dining room, kitchen, recreation room, classroom, etc., plus a toilet, a well, and a small vegetable field.

There is a platoon of soldiers stationed in the turrets here. But the soldiers of this platoon, relying on the fortifications, could resist ten or twenty times the Indians' attack.

This is just like what happened to Lao Maozi when he entered Siberia.

The Indians of Western North America, with only a handful of muskets in their hands, relied on bows and arrows and javelins in their hands, and were no match for the Wehrmacht. Especially once the latter's stronghold is erected, it is like the wooden fortress of Lao Maozi at the beginning, and there is almost no possibility of falling.

Of course, this kind of turret is far more labor-intensive than the wooden fortresses of the Russians. However, the Russians were dealing with the Siberian natives who had no foreign aid, while the Indians that China needed to deal with were not necessarily without foreign aid.

Whether it is the British, the French, or the Americans who have just been established and have not stood on their heels, as long as the interests are known, it is likely that the Indians are foreign aid.

It has been more than half a year since the construction of Nanshui Town, and the general works of the town have been completed, leaving only the outer fortifications.

There are five turrets in total, and three have been built so far. The other two were still in a hurry, and now it was only February, and the North and Japanese laborers in the town had been pulled out.

These people are not immigrants, they are pure laborers, stay in the Americas for two or three years, unless they encounter an opportunity, it is possible to change to the status of immigrants, or they can only pat their butts and take a boat back after the labor period is over.

These turrets were about two miles away from the eastern wall of Nanshui Town, and were within the range of most of the artillery at the head of the city, and if there was an Indian brigade to attack, the laborers who were repairing the turrets could probably retreat to the town under the cover of artillery fire, but the Indians who rushed over had to leave behind seven or eight hundred and ten corpses, to say the least. If they insist on demolishing the artillery tower under construction in Xue Guonanshui Town, then I am afraid that they will have to be prepared to die thousands of children and 800 people.

Although the number of guards in the entire Nanshui Town is only five hundred.

Therefore, after being bombarded into slag by the cannons at the head of the Xue people's city at the beginning, the Indians died and had the intention of demolishing the Xue people's forts and towns, because it was not a good way to fill in the city with human lives all the time, and the gang had to be scattered after a long time. Coupled with the fact that more and more Indian tribes retreated eastward, the Indians did not get the support they deserved after repeatedly hitting a wall, and their morale and fighting spirit to resist became weaker and weaker.

Anyway, North America is very big, and the west is not allowed to stay, so let's go east. The vast Louisiana was home to 10,000 Frenchmen, and there was still a vast space for the Indians to live and reproduce.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer Indians who resolutely resist Chen Han, and the intensity of Indian harassment is getting worse and worse. It's just that Xue Guo doesn't dare to take it lightly, and no vassal state will take it lightly, and the ghost knows when the Indians will make a comeback. Moreover, when the time comes, they will no longer take javelins and bows and arrows, but modern muskets and artillery.

In the cold winter of last year, a large number of Indians withdrew from the territory of the Xue Kingdom, but Nanshui Town is still far away from Louisiana, not only is there a Rocky Mountain in the middle, but the vast territory is much larger than the territory that the Xue Kingdom currently controls.

And Xue Wang Chen Lu also knew very well that the extreme point of his Xue Kingdom boundary to the east was Rocky Mountain, and further east, it was not something he could think of.

Chen Lu did not look forward to the other side of the Rocky Mountain at all, and his greatest hope in life was that when he was dying, the flag of the Xue Kingdom would be planted from Yatu to the west of the Rocky Mountain.

So he was satisfied.

Therefore, after the initial initiative of the Xue people, they began to build large and small villages and towns on a large scale, during which the army of King Xue and the national defense army stationed in Xue State would only sweep away thousands of troops with thunderous force when the Indians resisted fiercely. Otherwise, they are shrinking into their own territory, building settlements little by little, and expanding their living space little by little.

This is the strategy set by Chen Lu before he came to the Americas, and he also has the best friendship with the old sixth Ju King Chen Mi, one of the two of them has a wife who is married to a Korean, and a wife who is married to a Japanese, although Princess Cai's identity is lower than that of King Ju, Princess Cai is the daughter of Qingfeng Jin's family, and there is a Korean queen alive.

Therefore, while leading the team to North Korea, the two of them gave full play to the background of their wife's family, and collected tens of thousands of strong laborers from North Korea and Japan with a small sum of money.

Seriously, this is easy for Taishan of the sixth family to complete, and the Japanese are not having a good time. But Qingfeng Jin is a bit of nonsense. After North Korea was annexed to China, the whole country was divided into two, and the small days were becoming more and more prosperous, and the standard of living was increasing day by day. Because the North Koreans have enjoyed the same treatment as their countrymen since then.

Although there is no preferential treatment, and with the influx of a large number of Chinese immigrants, N more North Korean women have also been married into the Han family. Of course, many of the daughters on the Han side are also married to Bangbang. Assimilation. But as a result, the population of North Korea is getting smaller and smaller, because after having a Han wife and father, they are all Han people.

Also 'decaying' were the local nobles and nobles.

Not to mention the Qingfeng Jin family, it is the Lixing Min family, and the overall strength has also decreased compared to the beginning.

The land and people they control are silently turned into negotiable wealth, shares, and Chinese dollars.

Therefore, Qingfeng Jin's ability to gather tens of thousands of people to send to his son-in-law is really absolute support.

These Korean farmers who came to North America, after three years of hard work, do not know how to scold Kim in their hearts. This is a pit man.

They just went to the north to mine, and after three years of work, the wages and salaries were much better than here in the Americas.

Although the fertile land here in Xue Kingdom really made them red-eyed.

It's too flat, too good for farming.

And even the big mountains in the west, looking at the north and south of the Xue Kingdom, are also full of dense forests. The trees are all soft wood, which can be used as logs and into strips and boards, as well as for papermaking.

……

Nanshui Town is a town built by Xue Guo, the building materials here are bricks, cement and lime are also common materials, and there are more than 1,000 workers in the brick factory, kiln factory and carbon factory alone.

When Xue Guo began to build Nanshui Town, the Indians had harassed it for two or three months, but they did not play a large-scale attack, because the Indians had already eaten enough and learned to be obedient.

But this still affected the progress of the project, and the five turrets that could have been completed in the winter of last year have not yet been fully completed.

If these five turrets are completely completed, and the cannons are pulled up, and they are separated from each other by one to two miles, they can completely block the west side of Nanshui Town, and greatly shelter this newborn 'newborn'.
