Chapter 690: Will It Be Nine Out of Ten Deaths?
I'm afraid I've never been so anxious in my life. As early as two months ago, he didn't stay in Shenzhou City, and stationed in Yinshan Port with a large number of Indian Eight Banner soldiers, stretching his neck and waiting for Zhou Xiaoqi to return.
Today, when he finally saw five big ships that he had never seen before, he knew that they were Ming visitors. We, the conquerors who conquered half the continent with a few hundred men, and who spoke to the Maya in the Mexica Valley, took only a few servants, and did not sit in a sedan chair, and ran to the docks. As soon as the drawbridge on the "New World" was lowered, he strode up with a meteor. Although he was wearing a formal official uniform, he also carried Fan Yangli. But it was not smooth, and the hair under the hat was not neat, and a lot of hair hung down in a mess. Not to mention an ugly face and dark eye circles.
This conqueror hasn't had a restful night's sleep in days!
Relying on a few hundred people to lay the foundation that is enough to build a country today doesn't seem to be a good thing in the nearly 300-year history of China, right? The credit is huge, but ...... It is more than 10,000 miles away from the country, has tens of thousands of soldiers, has a base of thousands of miles, and governs millions of people!
This is the foundation of the emperor!
Since ancient times, which Chinese emperor could tolerate his subordinates and have such strength? Maybe the ships from the Ming Dynasty will bring the holy decree of their own execution...... If there is such a decree, there is no way to resist it!
Don't look at what he says in the Mexika Valley and the Maya, and he still has tens of thousands of Indian Eight Banners in his hands. But Meng Qi knew very well in his heart that it was okay for his tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers to bully the natives here in Mingzhou, and if Daming sent a brigade of expeditionary forces over, he would be able to clean them all up.
Moreover, the Ming soldiers who served as officers in these two or thirty thousand Eight Banner soldiers were loyal to them. It is always Chen Dexing who is thousands of miles away! The credit for the conquest of Mingzhou is them, if they choose to return to China. is enough to be a baron and a viscount, which is not a big or small nobleman. Several of the main deputies of the Meng are all earlly qualified. If they want to become vassals of the Great Emperor, they can also get a small fief in Mingzhou, and they can also serve as the governor of one city and one place. How much benefit can they get from following the covering?
In fact, even if he was Meng Qi himself, he didn't think about rebelling as the emperor of Mexica and Maya, and it was a more realistic choice to get a wealthy princely state to pass on to his descendants. An Empire...... Even if you give it to him, you can't cure it. Moreover, the Mexicans and the Mayans are now only tolerating his rule, but few are truly convinced. Meng Qi is not Wen Tianxiang. He acted harshly, and he knew that he would not engage in indoctrination by means of suppression and crusade. Thus the atmosphere in the Mexica Valley is very tense. Many Chichimek city-states are secretly connected with each other, and large-scale resistance will erupt at any time! If there is no army from the mother country of the Ming Dynasty to come, Meng Qi is not sure that it will be able to suppress it.
And these days, Meng Qi has sent someone to conduct a household survey of the Mexica Valley and the Maya. It is found that the population of these two places is quite dense, and the total number should be more than 15 million people! There were also many city-states and tribes in the forests south of the Maya, and there were many densely populated islands in the sea east of the Maya.
The indigenous people of the whole Ming Chau. A conservative estimate should be tens of millions! Such a large population cannot be suppressed for a long time by just a few hundred Han Chinese, even if there are tens of thousands of Indian Eight Banner soldiers, it is not enough. Moreover, those of the most reliable Indian Eight Bannermen. In fact, he is also a native of Mingzhou.
If it's not my race, its ambition will be different!
And with the arrival of the Chinese colonizers, the productivity of the indigenous and Mayan peoples of the Mexica Valley also increased - many advanced technologies. For example, to make wheels and carts, for example, to make long wooden bows. For example, the creation of bronze and so on, are spreading to the indigenous people of Mingzhou!
I'm afraid it won't be long. The production of the indigenous people of Mingzhou will be able to reach the level of the ancients of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to rule at that time!
All kinds of thoughts, turning in his mind over and over again, until he got on the boat, he saw Zhou Xiaoqi wearing a purple robe, wearing a black veil, surrounded by his wife and children and a bunch of officials, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xiaoqi's hand, "Seventh brother and seventh brother, you are back!" How's that over there, what's going on over there? Tell the little brother how things are, King Ming, he ......"
Zhou Xiaoqi was stunned when he saw that he looked like he had lost his soul, and he thought that something was going on here in Mingzhou. Asked rhetorically: "Brother Meng, here in Mingzhou...... Everything is alright? ”
"It's all good, it's all good, it's peaceful...... "Covered and looked around, as if some people were too busy. So he pulled Zhou Xiaoqi and walked to the gangplank, and when he got to the dock, he asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Can King Ming make us a marquis? ”
Seeing that Meng Qi was like this, Zhou Xiaoqi laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed to his purple robe, "See, this is the official uniform of the prince!" Seventh Brother is now the monarch of Zama Houguo! He stretched out his thick, black fingers and poked at his body, "You have also gone up now, the prince of the kingdom of Qiyi!" Or the governor of Zhongmingzhou, the Mexica Valley and the Mayan countries are under your control and supervision, and the governor's palace is also located in Shenzhou City. ”
According to Chen Dexing's plan, Chen Ming will set up three governors' palaces in Mingzhou as soon as possible, namely, the West Mingzhou Governor's Palace, the Central Mingzhou Governor's Palace, and the Mayahai Governor's Palace, to oversee the development of Mingzhou. Among them, the West Mingzhou Governor's Mansion manages the west coast of North Mingzhou, and the Governor's Mansion is located in Jinshan City; The Governor's Mansion of Zhongmingzhou is in charge of Zhongmingzhou, the richest and most densely populated Zhongmingzhou in Mingzhou, and the Governor's Mansion is located in Shenzhou City; The Governor's Palace of the Mayan Sea was located in the city of Zama and was mainly responsible for the development of islands and coastal areas in the Mayan Sea.
Of these three governors' mansions, except for the West Mingzhou Governor's Palace, other officials will be appointed, and the rest of the Zhongmingzhou Governors and Mayahai Governors have been handed over to Meng Qi and Zhou Xiaoqi.
With a loud voice, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Haha...... Ha ha...... It is really the king of a country, it seems that "Chen Li" is true, King Ming is really the king of pioneers in China for 2,000 years! ”
"More than two princes, Yang Daochang and Wen Zhuangyuan have also made princes, in addition to Yinshan Port and Shenzhou City in Zhongmingzhou, let them choose a country with a radius of a hundred miles!"
Zhou Xiaoqi suddenly remembered something at this time, and laughed and said, "By the way, our Ming Dynasty has already ruled the world!" Our King Ming is now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Sage of the Ming Dynasty, who has cleaned up the remnants of the Song Dynasty, and now the whole world is the Ming Dynasty! Next, we will go all out to develop Mingzhou! ”
In fact, there are many development directions of the Ming Dynasty, and Mingzhou is not even the focus of efforts. However, Zhou Xiaoqi didn't know, in his opinion, Mingzhou, a continent that was extremely rich and vast to infinity, and its natives were so weak that it was exaggerated, was completely a treasure given to China by the Taiyi God. As long as Mingzhou is taken, Daming will lack nothing.
Therefore, the development of Mingzhou is the top priority, and it must be the top priority!
Zhou Xiaoqi pulled a handful of joyful coverings, and said with a smile: "Let's go, come with me on the boat to meet everyone, this time there are a lot of people here, and a lot of good things have been transported!" ”
Because Zhou Xiaoqi and Meng Qi were talking on the dock, the crew and passengers on the New World were very conscious that they did not get off the ship, let alone unload the cargo.
"Oh? How many soldiers came? Meng thought of the soldiers, he is now using the Mingzhou natives to fight the Mingzhou natives, the basic plate is the Jinshan Indians, only more than 10,000 people. And the weapons and equipment are not very good, that is, leather shields, wooden bows, and copper spears. Meng Qi relied on such an army to fight in the east and west, maintain an undefeated myth, and suppress more than 10 million Mingzhou natives.
Although it can be maintained for now, there is always a bit of a void in the face of the mask - there are too many potential enemies! If you don't have tens of thousands of soldiers, you can't be insured.
"Eighty-five scholars, three hundred and one hundred and twelve military households, and many gold diggers came, most of whom were settled in Jinshan City."
"What, what? That's just such a little person!? The brow was tightened, "How is it enough?" What's the use of this? Seventh brother, why don't you have more soldiers? Such a big ship can always carry hundreds of people, right? If there are two or three thousand steel-armored soldiers, Zhongmingzhou will be stable......"
Zhou Xiaoqi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You think I don't want the army to come over?" But the top is ...... If you want to move with your family, at least bring a woman with you! By the way, I also brought you two women, which I bought in Japan......"
Buying a woman in Japan...... This is not because Zhou Xiaoqi knew that Japan was an AV country in later generations, mainly because "Chen Li" stipulated that the Han people were not slaves. If you are not a slave, you can't buy and sell, of course Zhou Xiaoqi has no way to buy a few Han girls to bring to Meng Qi as a concubine.
"Women......" Meng shook his head, of course there will be no shortage of women at his level. Putting this aside, the problem now is that we have too few people and too many of them! ”
When the two were talking, they had already boarded the deck of the "New World", and there were already many passengers waiting to disembark on the deck, all of them nobles...... There are also some people who are not people, they are cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, and their spirits are not very good, and the road is bumpy, and few people have died, but many animals have died.
"How can there be cows, sheep and pigs? What's the use? Kill and eat meat? Meng Qi hadn't gone to greet Yang Ah before he saw these listless animals at a glance. Horses are what he wants, what is the use of cows, sheep and pigs? Kill and eat meat? There are big chickens (turkeys) and dogs here in Mingzhou. Enough meat for a small number of Han Chinese. Where there are sporting animals, it is better to transport a few more soldiers.
"These are not for meat, but for scabs." Zhou Xiaoqi explained, "It's cowpox, pig pox, sheep pox or something, and it is said that it is the same species as smallpox." It can be planted on people to prevent smallpox ......"
"Smallpox prevention!" Meng Qi was stunned and stunned, "There is no smallpox in Mingzhou." ”
Yang Aguo had already come up at this time, heard their conversation, and explained with a smile: "The sage explained that there is no smallpox in Mingzhou, so the people of Mingzhou have no resistance to smallpox, and they are very susceptible to infection, and once they are infected, they will die nine times out of ten......"
"Nine out of ten deaths!" He took a sharp breath, looked at the group of listless animals, and suddenly exclaimed, "I see, I see, what a good means!" (To be continued......)
