132 Tomato Town

The ancestors of the Purple Dragon Federation were not a single people, but various human nations from the legendary silent Asian continent, who fled across the ocean to the backward New World, and gradually wiped out the few aborigines of the New World to become the rulers here.

Because the ethnic composition is very mixed, there is a huge gap between various ethnic customs, and there is a phenomenon of a hundred schools of thought contending, although the East Asian civilization, which was the strongest on the Asian continent at that time, is the main one, but other chaotic ideas are also mixed in.

This makes many place names in the Purple Dragon Federation full of 'national characteristics'.

The name Tomato Town is a product of this national identity.

Most of the descendants of the main civilization of the Purple Dragon Federation, that is, the Han civilization, have high positions, and even the common people of the Han family mostly live in rich areas, so they have little interest in colonizing overseas.

In addition to the nobles, government officials and members of the army, the Purple Dragon Federation came to the colony to make a fortune from the 'marginal peoples' who had migrated to the New World.

This is not to say that these marginal ethnic groups are discriminated against in the Purple Dragon Federation, perhaps there was still serious ethnic discrimination when the Purple Dragon Federation was first established, but after nearly two thousand years of integration, this discrimination has long been gone......

However, the strength of the ancestors still has an impact, because when the Purple Dragon Federation was just established, the rich and docile climatic areas were occupied by the Han civilization, and other ethnic groups could only retreat to the second, and over time, the development was naturally different.

The gap between rich and poor is also widening.

The Purple Dragon Federation is a traditional and rigid behemoth, although ethnic discrimination is gone, but the land allocated by the ancestors cannot be changed, so the ancestors of the people who come to the colony to fight are the 'marginal peoples' of the Asian continent back then.

This is also the reason why the name of the Obaro Continent Colony does not conform to the Han culture.

Reese City, Portu City, Tomato Town, etc., were all named after the explorers who first set foot on the continent of Obarro, which is commonly known as the cannon fodder of the colonial pioneers.

This is the reason why there is a huge difference between the names of the native cities and the colonial cities under the command of the Purple Dragon Federation.

Tomato Town was originally established by an expedition led by a bankrupt merchant who sold tomatoes, and the bankrupt merchant was considered the lucky one among the colonial pioneers' cannon fodder, not only made a fortune but also had his own team, and in honor of his former career, he named the stronghold he established Tomato, which gradually developed into Tomato Town......

The ancestors of the merchants who established the tomato stronghold were naturally not the Han people, but a branch of many ethnic groups in the Western Regions, of course, now that more than a thousand years have passed, the specific branches have long been blurred, and at most they know that their ancestors came from the Western Regions of the Asian continent.

Moreover, through more than 1,000 years of intermarriage, the appearance has long been assimilated by the East Asian race, which occupies the numerical advantage, and there is no longer the colored pupils of the ancestors......

However, because these marginal ethnic groups live in different regions from the Han ethnic group, some of the ethnic cultures of these marginal ethnic groups have been preserved, such as the habit of choosing names......

Today's Tomato Town is a descendant of the merchant of the past, and in the era when the Obaro colony was just opened, the pioneer cannon fodder had a huge casualty rate, but once it succeeded, it could turn over and become a human being.

In order to encourage a large number of marginal ethnic groups to use their lives to open up colonies, the federal government has quite a generous reward, almost as long as you have the ability to establish a village stronghold and hold it for a period of time, you can become the administrator of the village and town!

In fact, the only two capital cities in the Obaro colony were the two capital cities of Rees and Porto, which were thousands of miles away from the federal government, and the other villages and towns were indirectly controlled by these two colonial capital cities.

For example, in this Tomato Town, the town guard in the town was recruited by the mayor himself with the town's tax money, and in addition to paying a certain percentage of taxes to the city of Reese on a regular basis, it is basically a self-governing town.

These towns are ubiquitous in the Obaro colony, but if you can hold them!

After all, in addition to all kinds of demonic creatures in the colony, there are also a large number of human marauders waiting for the opportunity, and even many notorious mercenary teams are half-soldiers and half-bandits!

Without a certain strength, you can't hold it at all!

In addition, it is necessary to open up relations with the bureaucracy of the capital city, don't look at the great autonomy of Tomato Town, if you really offend the powerful people in Reese City, people can send a noble private soldier disguised as bandits, and you can ransack Tomato Town!

Don't overestimate how high the noble discipline of these Tiangao Emperors is!

Of course, if the mayor of the town is a hereditary nobleman himself, the magnates in Reece City will take care of some face-to-face appearances.

It's a pity that the Purple Dragon Federation is very happy with the lifelong nobles, but it is very harsh on the hereditary nobles, and the small forces in many colonial areas obviously have soldiers, land and population, but they can still only be an ordinary lord, but they can't break the ceiling of the hereditary barons on the top of their heads!

Moreover, these lords will be called nouveau riche in the eyes of the orthodox aristocracy, at the bottom of the chain of aristocratic contempt, and they are not even as good as those court lifetime titles without fiefs!

However, the lordship status won by his own hard work in the colony is not high, and the level of education is not high, so it is indeed not much different from the nouveau riche......

It takes time to catch up.

The Purple Dragon Federation has only gained a foothold in the colonial area of the Obaro continent for decades, and naturally it cannot give birth to a truly well-established lord.

The current mayor of Tomato Town, a descendant of the merchant who opened this stronghold, is a lord, and the kind that holds real power, and is worthy of the name of the leader in Tomato Town.

As long as it is not the arrival of a real nobleman, it will not be able to shake the status of this Zhao Wu Kill!

The five or six hundred town guards in his hands are the confidence!

Not to mention the fact that the entire bureaucracy up and down Tomato Town is all about killing.

Relying on the Devil's Mountain Range's expedition to trade and sell stolen goods, it is true that the Zhaowu family in Tomato Town has made enough money, and the five or six hundred town guards are all Longzheng rifles equipped by the regular army, instead of ordinary mercenaries with a variety of weapons, flintlock pistols can become mainstream weapons!

On top of that, Zhaowu's town guards also had several Tiger Squat Cannons (small mortars that fired solid and shotgun) in their hands, which were placed on the four corner towers of the town wall to look down on the enemy.

Tomato Town is close to the Devil's Mountains, so it cost a lot of money to build a fortress-style real wall.
