Just when Duan Fei felt that the population development was too slow, at this time, an idea of absorbing the population from other countries appeared in Duan Fei's mind, and he sent people to Japan, Goryeo and even South Asian countries to release various recruitment news, and recruited people by pyramid schemes, and soon after, an endless stream of people was sent to North America.

In the fourth year of Duan Fei's arrival in North America, that is, in the twenty-seventh year of Zhengde (1533), the place ruled by him, the governor of Ming America, reached nine ports, and the population reached 500,000, of which nearly 200,000 were newly born children.

In the past two years, Duan Fei did not forget to send countless spies to the east coast of the Americas to investigate the intelligence of those Europeans, since He Hai ventured to raid the supply base of those whites successfully, the temporarily united European countries fell back into the chaos of mutual hostility, although there was no big war in the past two years, but Duan Fei purposefully released all kinds of rumors, and united with the Indians, only attacking the people of Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands in the five white countries, and as a result, Britain and France sandwiched between the three countries became very passive.

At this time, there was news from South America, He Hai really got in touch with the Portuguese, the other party had suffered from the Ming Navy, and he was really worried that the Ming Dynasty would come south to grab South America, where they had a huge advantage, after the north competed for North America, and an agreement had not been reached for a while, but the rumors had already been noisy.

Under these circumstances, Duan Fei summoned all the generals and began another round of military meetings for eastward expansion operations.

In the past two years, Duan Fei would convene everyone for a combat meeting in the spring, but this time the generals who came to the meeting obviously felt different, and they were also familiar with the information on the North American continent, and they whispered to each other as soon as they came to the venue.

"Lord Wei Guo and Lord Governor has arrived!"

The officers stood up when they heard the sound and waited solemnly, Duan Fei wore a straight military uniform, walked into the venue, looked at everyone and smiled: "Everyone sit down, it seems that everyone has guessed that there will be an important decision announced today, yes, this governor feels that our eastward expansion operation has enough resources to carry out!" ”

The officers present were all in a sensation, they had been waiting for this day for not a day or two, following the invincible Lord Duan, they fought all over the world, even the Tatars and the thorns were destroyed, those white people on the east bank didn't pay much attention to them, but the unmistakable Lord Guogong was stunned and made them wait for two years, and now, finally let those white boys know how powerful their army is!

Duan Fei read a few pieces of information in his hand and said, "Now Spain and Portugal are ...... That is, the Franc machine fought hard in Europe, and the three countries of Britain, France and the Netherlands were also more or less involved because of their interests, and their own support for the Americas is now the weakest, and even the Franc machine has withdrawn from North America, transferred its forces back to Europe, and tried to redeem the defeat, and now it is now our best opportunity to expand eastward! ”

The generals asked for battle, Duan Fei smiled and nodded: "Very good, everyone's morale is high, I have sent people to contact the Indian departments, they have been holding back for a long time, I agreed with them to meet at the southern end of the Grand Canyon in half a month, and then cross this plateau to the east, come to the eastern plain of America, after a little rest, our goal is first to eliminate the Spaniards in the western part of this coastal plain, and establish a solid foothold here." ”

The Coastal Plain was originally occupied by the Portuguese, but now that the war in Europe is tight, the Portuguese withdrew their troops from North America to return to China to help the war, but they were occupied by the Spaniards who remained in North America.

Duan Fei is fighting the idea of taking it step by step, in fact, the population of small European countries cannot be compared with Da Ming, they only have a total of only a few thousand soldiers in the Americas, Duan Fei has now trained twenty or thirty thousand musketeers, even if he kills the past in one go, he may not be able to completely annihilate the whites, but Duan Fei doesn't want to take risks, he doesn't want to sacrifice too much while winning, his goal is not only North America, but also the vast South America waiting for him to conquer, he can't make any mistakes, otherwise he will live up to Zhengde's expectations of him.

Hearing Duan Fei's plan, the generals were a little discouraged, but it would be good to have a battle, according to Lord Duan's plan, it would be within a few years to take North America.

After deciding on the battle plan, the entire west coast of North America was busy, and a large amount of grain baggage was sent to the front line and sent to the barracks, and the road to the east that Duan Fei had sent people to build in advance now played a huge role.

The army was opened, Duan Fei wanted to lead the army personally, but everyone advised him to stay in Rocky Mountain Harbor to guard the base camp, all the generals were able to recruit and fight well, Duan Fei also believed in their ability, and carefully told the enemy not to advance lightly, Duan Fei finally appointed Jiao Xu as the main general, and his brother Jiao Yang as the deputy general, and let the two of them lead the army.

The news came back in an endless stream, and the expeditionary force successfully joined the Indian coalition army in the Grand Canyon, and then led by the Indians who were familiar with the road, the expeditionary force quickly crossed the mountains, crossed an unknown plateau (Edward Plateau), and came to a vast plain, which is the coastal plain that Duan Fei said.

Familiar with the terrain, the local Indians led the expeditionary force across a large river to a small Portuguese city on the Colorado River that the Spanish had just occupied.

The Spaniards in the town were celebrating the occupation, and even the guards were so drunk that the expeditionary force and the combined Indian army captured the town without any losses, and all the Spanish soldiers woke up as prisoners of the army.

"Do you want to live or die?" Jiao Xu, the commander of the Shu Army, looked at the captured Spanish squad leader with ill intentions, and gestured with a knife.

A freed Indian slave next to him knew a little Spanish, and after translating it, the words became: "Do you want to be eaten by our chief or by the gods of the Celestial Empire?" ”

The Spanish squad leader was so shocked that he immediately lost his incontinence, in his eyes, no matter what god general with a knife or the chief next to him who was trimming his nails with a knife by the fire, the story of these natives eating people was widely spread, he did not doubt that he might become someone else's meal, and immediately screamed: "I surrender, you can do whatever you want me to do, please don't eat me, please, don't eat me......"

The Spanish prisoners kneeling outside the cell heard the screams of their captain, and looked at each other one by one, their faces turned miserable white at once, and several timid people fainted in fright, and their brains were flexible and they all learned from their captain to shout: "I surrender, let me do anything, don't eat me, the flesh on my body is stinky, my whole body is full of pus, poisonous ......"

Jiao Xu didn't know what was going on, and when he finally figured it out, everyone laughed and glanced at the captives with bad intentions, as if they were choosing meat from the meat stall, which scared the Spaniards out of their souls.

It would not be bad to build a fortress here as a foothold, but Jiao Xu was not satisfied, because this small group of Spaniards was only the vanguard, and behind them there were a large number of Spanish troops coming, and the so-called large number was only a few hundred people, and Jiao Xu didn't pay attention to it at all.

He looked at the map, and after fully understanding the situation, he made a bold decision, the Governor's plan was too conservative, he wanted to eat all the Spaniards, and then kill directly to the base camp of the Spaniards, and occupy it, which was equivalent to wiping out the power of the Spaniards in North America, and when the time came, the remaining three European countries could be attacked, retreated, and defended, and the entire east coast of North America could be occupied in less than two years.

Jiao Xu discussed with his subordinates for a while, and finally decided on the battle plan, the expeditionary force had a total of 20,000 people, of which 2,000 stayed in this town, and the rest were led by Jiao Xu to bypass the Spaniards who rushed to attack the big city of the Spaniards 'New Madrid'.

Within two days, the expected Spanish follow-up army arrived in the town, and they entered the city unnoticedly to prepare for rest, but as a result, countless soldiers poured out of the city and outside the city in an instant, and captured all the Spaniards who were caught off guard, and a few Spanish soldiers who wanted to resist were shot on the spot, and there were less than 300 people in ambush for 2,000 people, there was no suspense at all, and only one soldier in the army was slightly injured in the thigh.

The hapless Spaniards were immediately enslaved, and when they heard the story of the barbecue chief and the cannibal general, they became as obedient as the previous Spanish captives.

The defenders of New Madrid were less than 800 people, the population of small European countries was not large, and the Eight-Nation Coalition only had a total of more than 20,000 people in Beijing at the end of the 19th century, and now it is only the beginning of the 16th century, and it is not easy for Spain to send more than 1,000 people to North America to develop colonies while competing with Portugal for sea supremacy.

The expeditionary force of the Shu army launched an attack in the middle of the night, Jiao Xu first let the martial arts masters of the army quietly touch under the city wall, climbed up to the city head with a hook, attacked and killed the sentries, opened the city gate, and then more than 10,000 expeditionary troops took advantage of the night to kill into the city, the Spaniards were dreaming, many people rushed out to fight in disheveled clothes, after all, they were defenseless and too few in number, but after leaving dozens of corpses, they were still occupied by the Shu army New Madrid, and the captured Spanish soldiers and civilians totaled more than 5,000, and there were not many people who entered the city without the Shu army.

New Madrid has a complete city wall protection, the only disadvantage is that in the eyes of Jiao Xu and other military soldiers, this New Madrid, known as the largest city in North America, has not yet rebuilt the Rocky Hill Port one-third of the size, let alone compared with Beijing and other super cities.

There is also an advantage to taking New Madrid, many of the Spanish ships parked in the harbor were captured before they could escape, although there are not many, but they are all larger warships, and the army that occupied New Madrid does not have to worry about the enemy attacking from the sea.
