Chapter 495: The final battle in Kannai begins

Loe Island is the largest island on the western coast of South America, its island area is about Taiwan, the east is separated from the mainland by the Gulf of Corcovado, the hilly terrain, the west is higher, the climate is cold and humid, and it is full of evergreen coniferous forests. Spaniards mostly live in towns such as Ankud and the capital Castro. The economy is dominated by timber harvesting and fishing. Agriculture is concentrated on the southern coast, mainly wheat and potatoes.

Raising cattle, sheep, etc.

The landing of the Ming fleet at the port of Ankud immediately upset many Spaniards, and Arms handed over the warrant of the governor of New Spain, and asked the officials of the local towns to be prepared to persuade the immigrants to relocate, which would become the new Chongming Island of the Ming Dynasty, and become a paradise for adventurers like Chongming Island in Shanghai.

The magistrate of the place, who had lived here for thirteen years, was suddenly told that he and his neighbors were moving away, but he still complied with the decision of the governor of New Spain, for he saw that the adventurers behind Arms were clearly ill-intentioned, and that if he refused, he might be in trouble.

The sheriff faithfully carried out his last mission, informing the inhabitants of Ankud of what was happening and telling them to prepare, and although this decision caused the displeasure of many Hispanics, many complied, for the news from the port was that it was not only an army but also a group of pirate explorers who had done all kinds of evil, and if they were annoyed, there would be no good fruit to eat.

In this way, the Ming fleet established its initial rule here, while the adventurers went deep into the middle of the island in search of their gold, while Arms temporarily served as the governor of the new Chongming Island and began to issue orders, while the accompanying 3,000 Ming troops left 1,000 men stationed here, and 2,000 men outside the island began to sail back with the list required by His Majesty the Emperor.

Five months later, Zhu Jun saw this note written by Arms himself, and wrote what he saw and heard during the voyage, as well as the customs and customs of the islands along the way, the negotiations with the Spaniards after arriving in South America, and some general information about the new colonies. However, it is good to be able to get a foothold first, but the merchants are keen on shipping, although the farther they go, although the risk increases, but the profits are also extremely lucrative, Daming has its own island, which can facilitate merchants to build warehouses, build harbors, and promote trade, as for the ambitions of South America, I am afraid that it will have to wait until the steam ship is developed, but this return voyage to anchor in Chongming Island The fleet brought a lot of things but rubber, as well as coffee beans, cocoa, tobacco, dyes, potatoes, etc., especially potato seeds, This kind of thing was brought back to China from Luzon by Chen Zhenlong, a native of Changle, Fujian Province during the Wanli period, because it could not be promoted, and because of many reasons such as water and soil adaptation, there was no large-scale trial planting, and Luzon's potato seeds were obviously not very good.

As for the rubber brought, it was naturally handed over to the researchers of the pair of steam engines, the two of them forgot to sleep and eat with dozens of craftsmen in the Academy of Sciences to continue experiments, today's steam engine has a little bit of the prototype of the steam train in later generations, but many details still need to be improved, and the rubber with excellent sealing was sent to the Academy of Sciences, the two are naturally happy, after all, the steam train is driven by steam, if it cannot be sealed, so that the steam leaks, the power of the steam train will drop several grades, After using the rubber experiment, the steam locomotive really increased a lot of power, the original ton of coal can only run ten miles, and now it can run more than 20 miles on the newly built railroad track in Nanjing, but the safety of the steam train is still not very reliable, plus only the steam locomotive experiment, there is no suspension carriage behind, the load is still not satisfactory, so the experiment will continue, but this test made the interested businessmen and people who went to watch very surprised, the shares of the Royal Railway Operating Company immediately doubled, More businessmen preferred to buy shares at double the original price in order to participate in the shares, which was very lively.

Zhu Jun, who is about to go to the army, still has his eyes on business, next to the headquarters of the Royal Railway Company in the Royal Road, a six-storey cement shop was built as early as two months ago, and then, a royal money bank brand was eye-catchingly hung up, Zhu Jun's full stock of the money village was established, this money bank is very special compared to other money banks, not only the staff composition of the money bank is complex, not only the Han Chinese, but also the Dutch, Spaniards, British, Portuguese, and the regulations are also very strange, Ordinary money banks to deposit silver is needed'

In addition, the ordinary money bank is not only troublesome, but also the interest rate is extremely high, often a loan of one hundred taels of silver will have to be repaid one hundred and fifty taels a year, but to the royal money here, as long as there is enough collateral, you can take the silver at any time, and the interest rate is only two percent.

Emperor Lao Tzu's land money village opened. Di Bao naturally inevitably received an official letter from Beizhen Fu Si Di. Early in the morning of the second day. The first pages of the major newspapers all made advertisements for Zhu Jun for free. Deposit interest plus low-interest loans. Naturally, it has attracted a lot of people's attention. If an ordinary person opens this kind of money bank, I'm afraid people will think that this guy has gone crazy. And I can't believe it. But this money bank is a royal land. That's different. At least the credibility is sufficiently guaranteed. After all, silver is a very inconvenient thing. It's always remembered at home. In the ordinary case, the bank has to pay a 'custody fee' and is afraid that the bank is not reputable enough. But the Royal Money House is different. For a time, the entire money village was crowded with people who went to save and apply for loans.

Busy with everything. Zhu Jun finally put his mind on pro-land acquisition. Now there is enough food and grass. The major legions are ready to go. There was also news of Kangxi's personal expedition in Beijing. Zhu Jun rubbed his hands. I just want to finish the battle. Wipe out all the eight flags of Mongolia at one time. This is not his dream. Since Kangxi is pro-conscripted. Then the main force of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia in the Guanxi region naturally poured out. There will never be any leftovers. Once the battle is decided. Then I'm afraid that the land of Kannai will no longer have the power of the full land.

To be on the safe side. The 50,000 men of the Indian colonial army also arrived from the East Indies. According to intelligence. This time, there were 150,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners in the Manchurian Dispatch. The Green Camp and the army of Wang Fuchen of Shaanxi also began to assemble. The number of people is more than 400,000. The main force of the five major armies of the Ming army was only 150,000. The main force of the three major water divisions is hundreds of thousands. Compared to the Manchurians. It's a lot smaller. And the ministers in the court are all dignitary. I always think that whoever has the most numbers will have the upper hand. Therefore, he tried to urge the colonial legions to go north. Although Zhu Jun said that he didn't like Indians to join in the fun. However, in order to reduce the resistance to pro-land acquisition. I agreed.

Furthermore. Korea and Japan have received the will of the Ming Emperor. Their mission is also to go on an expedition. It's just that the target is the five major camps of Manchurian Mongolia in the area of Liaodong. Zhu Jun was most worried about the entry of the Eight Banners of Mongolia outside the customs to help the battle. The task of the Korean and Japanese servants was to drag the five major battalions of Manchu and Mongolia outside the pass into the pass.

In the bitter battle in Monan, Erdan suddenly began to close the battle line. This year. The Dzungar tribe suddenly conquered the Mongol tribes in Moxidi. Then he moved to Mobei. However, it was blocked by the Russian Cossack cavalry.

The beginning of the 13th century. Some Slavs fled to southern Russia to escape the rule of the Kipchak Khanate in the Mongol Empire. Including the Don River basin, the lower Dnieper River basin and the Volga River basin. 15, 16 years. Some peasants who did not want to endure the oppression of the landlords and nobles moved to the southern part of Russia after the overthrow of the Kipchak Khanate. These people were called "Cossacks". That is, the Turkic word for "free man". The Cossacks established a number of local regimes in Ongo.

The Cossacks were known for their bravery and good fighting. In Russian history, the tsar controlled the Cossacks by buying off the Cossack elite. The cavalry, composed of Cossacks, was an important force of Tsarist Russia. The Cossack cavalry quickly routed a Dzungar cavalry that rushed to Mobei, forcing the Dzungars to feel the threat of Tsarist Russia, so they had to abandon Mobei and vigorously expand to Monan, which is the foundation of the Mongol princes, and is also a group of princes with the best relationship with the Manchus, most of their children have entered the customs and garrisoned Beijing for the Manchu and Mongolian battalions, the tribes are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and in the face of the invasion of the Jungir, many tribes do not even have the strength to fight back, it is no wonder, after all, the Dzungars are used to living a hard life, Although Monan Mongolia is rich in flowing oil, but the reward of the Manchurian emperor every year, coupled with a variety of welfare policies that tend to Monan Mongolia, occupies the most fertile pasture, and the sharp spirit of decades ago has long disappeared without a trace.

Over the past year, the Dzungar sphere of influence has expanded to nearly half of the Monan grassland west of the Aibisha River, Zhu Jun means that the Dzungars are ready to launch a huge offensive, in order to be able to wipe out the Mongols in one fell swoop, most of the Mongolian warriors in the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners in the Guannai are from Monan Mongolia, and their hometown is on fire, I am afraid that many people do not have so much heart to fight in the Guannei.
