The craftsmen brought from China played a crucial role at this time, and as small workshops were built on the North American continent, the construction of the capital city of the Ming Dynasty on the North American continent was greatly accelerated.

According to Luo Jian and Liu Lan's suggestion, Zhu Yujiao did not choose to build her own palace first, but chose to build a simple house first to settle everyone.

Many officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have a good understanding of the difficulty of coming to North America to establish a state, and these people thought that the continent was full of wealth, only to find that most of the land was uncivilized land and natives, and some even began to regret it.

The people who regretted it began to make a fuss about going back with the fleet, at first there were only three or five people making trouble, and then there were more and more people, and Zhu Yujiao also began to get anxious.

The mood of the crowd was able to stabilize thanks to the ******'s second assistant zodiac week.

Huang Daozhou was originally a servant of the Hongguang court, and when Ao Bai attacked Nanjing City, he was not taken away by the Qing soldiers, because his residence was extremely inconspicuous, and the Qing soldiers did not treat his house as the house of the Southern Ming officials, which allowed him to escape.

When the Nanjing Provisional Government was established, Huang Daozhou was reluctant to serve in the new government, and he had been idle at home, Luo Jian knew that he was an important pillar of the later Longwu court, and wanted to invite him to go out of the mountain to serve in the government, but at Huang Daozhou's insistence, he finally failed to do so.

It wasn't until the matter of the overseas founding of the country was decided that Zhu Yujiao, under the recommendation of Luo Jian, personally went to his house to invite him to go overseas together, which made Huang Daozhou agree.

The reason why Luo Jian recommended Zodiac Zhou is very simple, historically Zodiac Zhou was captured by the Manchus because of the defeat of the Longwu court, and Zodiac Zhou did not choose to surrender. Instead, heroically fell under the butcher's knife of the Manchus.

"It's easy to die generously. It is difficult to be calm. This refers to the fierce confrontation on the battlefield. It is not difficult to dare to sacrifice oneself, and it takes a very strong will to surrender and save one's life after being captured, while still giving up one's life for the sake of one's faith.

Others don't know how difficult it is to open up North America, but Luo Jian knows how many difficulties and dangers will await them on this uncultivated continent, and in the face of endless difficulties, what is needed most is a firm mind, so that. It is only natural that Zodiac Zhou became the second assistant of ******.

Huang Daozhou did not become the first assistant because of Wang Duo's high morality, ****** he also needed to rely on Wang Duo's prestige to attract more people to North America together.

After Wang Duo arrived in North America, he has been bedridden for a long time because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and it took more than a month to gradually recover his breath, and everything that happened in the middle was supported by the Zodiac Zhou.

Zhu Yujiao also trusted Huang Daozhou very much because of Luo Jian's confession, which made Huang Daozhou dare to let go and do things.

Two months later, a sprawling village began to appear on North American soil, with artisans remaining some still preparing materials for the fortification, most of them under the escort of soldiers. Began to go out in search of various mineral deposits.

More than half a month later, the good news kept coming, and iron ore and coal mines were discovered one after another. Although the scale of these deposits is not known at this time, it is always enough for the current people.

The iron ore was fine for now, but coal was urgently needed now, and the dozen or so steam engines brought from China had been relying on firewood to deal with the lack of coal, which made the steam engines extremely inefficient, and the discovery of coal finally solved the problem, and ships relying on coal began to shuttle back and forth on the west coast.

A large brick factory was soon set up outside the village, and Lu Wei estimated that in a little more than a month, everyone would be able to say goodbye to the simple houses made of wood.

The rudimentary cement plant was soon set up, and with fuel, the efficiency of the steam engine was greatly improved, and although it was not yet possible to start producing various types of cement as in Nanjing, there was no problem with the basics.

After the brick and tile factory was completed, the officials of the Ministry of Industry of the Hongguang Imperial Court began the design of the new capital, and the new Daming capital was named Daming City, which was Wang Duo's opinion, this opinion was recognized by everyone, and in the near future, Daming City will be born on the North American continent.

Hearing this, Luo Jian knew that Washington City, the most powerful power center in the world, would no longer appear in this time and space.

Thousands of acres of wheat seedlings and corn have turned green, sweet potatoes have grown long vines, and looking at the large fields of crops, everyone's hearts are full of hope for the future.

Zhu Yujiao has to take the palace maids and guards to inspect these crops every day, and many times Zhu Yujiao will talk to herself about these crops, as if these wheat seedlings are her subjects, and the palace maids and guards next to her can't understand what she is saying.

Although the local indigenous Indians continued to harass them, the lure of novelty and the backing of a strong army allowed them to coexist peacefully with the ****** people, although skirmishes continued to occur from time to time.

The conflict was inevitable after all, because the crops in the crop field were spoiled by these Indians by nearly a third, and the destruction of these crops by these Indians seemed to be intentional, which made Zhu Yujiao, who had always been good-tempered and unwilling to kill more, finally thundered and angry.

Although Zhu Yujiao does not look like a king now, no one dares to forget that she is the queen of this newly developed land, and with the queen's order, the three thousand guards were concentrated, and a cannon was pushed out of the simple wooden house.

The primary target was the indigenous tribe closest to Daming City, and according to the scouts, the crops were destroyed by the tribe's people.

The battle had just lasted less than three minutes, and these natives began to flee in all directions, this time Zhu Yujiao did not have a good intention, maybe she felt that destroying these crops was no different from killing her subjects, the guards had been pursuing for seven or eight days, and the indigenous tribes within a radius of nearly 100 miles were swept away, and a large number of Indian women were captured.

The capture of Indian women was Zheng Chenggong's suggestion, and Zheng Chenggong noticed early on that the proportion of women among the thousands of people who came to North America was too small. Especially Zhu Yujiao's 3,000 guards. It is not that these people are not allowed to bring their families. It's because these people don't have a home at all, and these people also need to start a family, and having a woman can tie the hearts of these people.

Lu Wei no longer knew how many local natives had been killed in this imperial court attack, and the pursuit was Zhu Yujiao's guards, Zheng Chenggong's fleet did not participate, and later the guards chased far away, and even a dozen people chased hundreds of natives for a day or two.

It took more than ten days for Lu Wei to get the news from Lucheng (Los Angeles) and Lucheng (Nevada). Zhu Changshu and Zhu Yihai had adopted a bloody policy of massacre against the local natives before that.

Hearing Lu Wei say this, Shi Kefa frowned and began to mumble to himself.

"There is a limit to killing, and the nations have their own borders. If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more? ”

Luo Jian heard that Shi Kefa was reciting "Out of the Fortress Poem", Luo Jian understood Shi Kefa's feelings, but he knew that if he wanted to colonize overseas, he would inevitably have the most fierce conflict with the local natives, not to mention that this time he was taking root in other people's territory and building a country.

Luo Jian didn't care how many local natives they slaughtered, what he cared about most was whether Zhu Yujiao could take root in the North American continent, even if Zhu Yujiao didn't do these things now. If the original historical trajectory is followed, these almost all indigenous people will also be slaughtered.

And Luo Jian knew that Zhu Yujiao was doing this now. It is to establish authority on this continent, and once the local natives have expressed their submission, the massacres will not continue, and at that time, ethnic integration will become the mainstream.

Lu Wei's next account confirmed Luo Jian's guess.

After this big attack, there was no local aborigines to harass for more than a month, and it was not until Lu Wei and Zheng Chenggong were about to leave for South America to harvest rubber that seven or eight tribes began to submit to the Ming court, and Zhu Yujiao agreed to settle down around Daming City.

The language barrier is a big problem, and it is almost impossible to get people to learn the local indigenous language at this time, and they can only learn the Chinese Chinese and script.

Zhu Yujiao specially arranged for dozens of people to teach the Indians to learn to speak Chinese, and after more than ten days, the two sides were finally able to have some simple language exchanges.

In terms of text, Zhu Yujiao did not listen to Wang Duo's opinion, but took Luo Jian's suggestion, and the text used vernacular and simplified Chinese characters, which was to facilitate more people to be able to read and hyphenate, and under the insistence of Zhu Yujiao and Huang Daozhou, Wang Duo finally reluctantly gave up the idea of using the original Ming script.

The brick factory has been completed and put into operation, and Lu Wei and Zheng Chenggong have decided not to go to South America for the time being, but stay to help Zhu Yujiao fence the city wall first. With the help of a fleet of several thousand men, a huge city wall soon took shape.

Lu Wei and Zheng Chenggong calculated the grain carried by the fleet, and it would not be enough if they didn't leave, and the grain collected from the North American continent was mainly corn, and the Wehrmacht soldiers who were no longer short of food were not used to this kind of rough grain, and the wheat and sweet potatoes planted had not yet reached maturity, so Lu Wei and Zheng Chenggong chose to return.

Finally about to separate, Zhu Yujiao took Wang Duo and Huang Daozhou not only to send Zheng Chenggong and Lu Wei to the beach, but also to take the "Queen of the East" to send the fleet to more than 100 miles away, and then reluctantly said goodbye with tears.

Lu Wei always remembered Zhu Yujiao's words when she said goodbye, "China is my maiden home, you must not forget your daughter!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Kefa's eyes were already red, Zhu Cihuan was already crying silently, and Zhu Yujian also took out a handkerchief and kept wiping his tears.

The room became silent, and everyone felt that their hearts were not good, the weak one-armed girl in the past would now start a business alone in that unknown land, if she really left the support of the Nanjing government, whether she could persist in the future, everyone felt that they were uncertain.

Everyone has their eyes on Luo Jian, and the intention of the Metropolitan Governor will be the most critical, whether to let Zhu Yujiao's ****** fend for themselves in the North American continent, or to support them wholeheartedly, this decision has to be decided by Luo Jian.

"What are you all looking at me for? Isn't it our stated national policy to give them our full support? Luo Jian was a little surprised by everyone's eyes.

Luo Jian's words made everyone in the room breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhu Yujian even pulled Zhu Cihuan to get up and walked in front of Luo Jian and bowed deeply.

In the end, it was decided that the "Yue Fei" and "Ran Min" of the Nanjing government fleet would participate in the final attack on the Manchu court and would not participate in the next voyage, and the task of escorting the fleet to North America again fell to the "Qi Jiguang" and "Huo Quai" and the "Luwang" and "Luwang" who returned with the fleet.
