Chapter 543: European Battlefield T
.“ Bang bang. The tranquility of the woods was broken, and one by one the birds in the jungle rushed out and attacked with ferocity.
The natives in the open area in the middle of the grass hut were startled at first. Then they were furious, they used their spears and darts to fight back, poor they don't know what happened, if they knew the strength of the other party, I am afraid they would have fled, if they fled when the battle had just begun, with the degree of hunting and the understanding of the surrounding environment, I am afraid that it was more than enough to save their lives, but at this moment, groups of natives rushed in the direction of the adventurers, and some of the natives who came out of the grass hut also participated in the battle with weapons. Even the women and children did not run away, but danced merrily in place, as if to cheer on the men.
"Bang bang bang. More and more adventurers rushed out, they rushed out of the bushes, stood still, raised their mirrors, shot, then forward, and repeated.
Before the natives got close, most of them were killed and wounded, and some of the natives used a boomerang to fight back, which was similar to the flying device of later generations and was thrown out by the natives, and then rushed forward, and after reaching a certain range, it swirled back into the hands of the natives, but this kind of dart was defective after all, and it seemed to attack fast enough on the surface. But after all, there is a limit to the range of manpower, compared to the bird lock, the range is too far behind, and it can't hit the enemy at all, and the natives with spears are even more unbearable, and the natives have suffered heavy losses, some people are screaming a few words, and then hundreds of natives left a corpse in a place and began to retreat, where are the adventurers willing to let go, swarming while chasing and shooting, those women and children who are helping in the rear obviously can't go fast, and immediately became the prey of the adventurers, Then a burst of screams sounded, and the natives who ran in front were reluctant to see their family being hunted, and suddenly regained their courage and turned back.
"The idea is to run forward with a flat foot, and don't fall behind." Cheng Wu held the short command in the team. Roaring hideously to remind his teammates, he glanced at it, and then saw that a few catties, the adventurer had stopped, and was using a dagger to pick the gold ornaments from the dead corpses of the natives.
"Bastard.
。 Cheng Wu rushed over viciously and raised a short dysprosium to a few catties. The greedy adventurers shouted, and several adventurers turned pale with fright, and lifted their bird glasses to chase after the enemy.
In the evening, a raid was reluctantly stopped, the smoke dissipated, under the captain's shout, the team began to search for the booty, they killed a total of more than six hundred natives, and their own casualties were seven or eight, most of these unlucky guys rushed too quickly, were cut by the darts to the wound, the darts were soaked in poison, once contaminated, they were killed immediately.
The group piled up the gold utensils, and by the way held a funeral for the deceased, and a group of people began to discuss in a chaotic manner, and after a battle, only with some very small casualties wiped out a native tribe, and the seized gold objects weighed more than forty or ninety pieces of silver, plus some jewels, and folded seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and more than five hundred people divided it, and one person also had more than a dozen taels of silver.
Many people couldn't help but be stunned and excited, and they earned a dozen taels of silver in one afternoon, which was many times easier than in the factory, although there were deaths and injuries, but compared to the temptation of gold and silver, what is it to take a little risk?
Next, the main person in charge of several mercenaries began to discuss in the grass hut, this time the loot is very rich, in addition to discussing the distribution of the loot, the next is naturally a matter of the future, the two groups of mercenaries are the forerunners of this new continent, and the adventure ships in the future will continue to arrive, in order to ensure the maximum benefits, the two groups of mercenaries naturally made up their minds to sweep several large tribes these days, and the future competition pressure of the province is increasing, in addition, another important issue needs to be acted upon, According to the Great Ming Law. But all the adventurers in the new world must send a letter back to the nearest sailor patrol to inform them as soon as possible, and then the Daming sailors will arrive by boat to establish their rule, so that the two sides have a disagreement, after all, the immediate return voyage is not something that can be done by a small boat, and must be returned by a sea ship, in addition, the ship must be equipped with at least a hundred sailors, doctors, helmsmen, and even gunners to prevent pirates, which seems to have suffered on the surface. However, according to the regulations, if anyone can be the first to return to report the news, after the establishment of the rule, the Ming court will open up ten to one hundred hectares of land for the present person to cultivate, which means that no matter which pioneer, as long as the first to go back to report the news, then the entire fleet of personnel can go to thousands of acres of fertile land out of thin air, with these. Even if they didn't take risks, I am afraid that hiring a few tenant farmers or slaves on a boat of adventurers would be enough to make a good profit to sustain their luxurious life.
The two groups of mercenaries naturally hoped that their people would go back first, and the two sides began to have some small quarrels, after all, everyone came from afar to seek money, and now that the huge profits are in front of them, naturally no one will be willing to let go, after some arguments. In the end, everyone agreed to let Cheng Wu take the sailors back to the Luzon Naval Division station to report the news, and as for the reward for everyone to divide equally, but naturally set up a note in advance. ,,
With the intention of pioneering, all the commercial ports of the Ming Dynasty were full of adventurers on the high seas. Some of the forerunners have already returned. When they appeared at the docks with a box of books, it immediately caused a sensation, and the ships of the adventurers set sail one after another. Heading towards all the uncharted seas, especially the newly recovered northerners north of the Yangtze River, they are taller and more adventurous than the southerners. In addition, just recovered, the living conditions are naturally a lot worse than the southerners, some shrewd southern shipowners also saw the opportunity, have gone north to Tianjin Port to organize people to go to sea, stout northerners heard that the profits are huge, naturally flocked to the place, a moment of unprecedented.
A large number of manpower with the adventure ship to open up the sea, not only the orders of various industries have increased a lot, coupled with the gradual tightening of human resources, the salary has gradually increased a lot, this butterfly effect has made the Ming Dynasty's commerce and trade up again, coupled with the completion of the construction of the southern railway, the steam train on the track also began to run, Nanjing's goods only need a week to arrive in Haidu. The people of Guangzhou were able to reach Suzhou in three days, which further promoted the exhibition of industry and commerce, and the whole Ming Dynasty fell into a crazy busy period. There are countless merchant ships in the port, all kinds of goods on land are exchanged, and all kinds of smoke are emitted from the factories in the opening area, and the pace of people's lives has gradually accelerated.
At the same time, the imperial court's infrastructure projects in the north began to be rolled out, railroad tracks, roads, ports, and even the expansion of cities were almost a bottomless pit to absorb money, if it were not for the confiscation of all the Manchurian family property in the city of Beijing, I am afraid that the imperial court would not have been able to carry out such a large project within ten years, according to the statistics of the customs yamen, the number of armed merchant ships that went to sea to venture reached more than 2,300, and the number of adventurers reached nearly 100,000. Later, Australia was revealed, and the Nanyang Naval Division was immediately dispatched. The province of Dinghai was established after the occupation and administration of the land, and, in this new continent, the footprints of the Dutch, who established several strongholds in the south. And established a certain range of rule, according to Zhu Jun's order, the Nanyang Naval Division was immediately dispatched. Immediately exterminated the Dutch there.
As waves of adventurers arrived in the New World, the massacre of the local natives by some adventurers gradually rose, and the indigenous population of the entire continent was only 600,000 people, a few catties, and a few months. A third of them were killed, very quickly. The news was published on the front page of the major newspapers. Zhu Jun, who had been hesitant for a long time, finally began to issue a decree, announcing a pardon for the natives of Dinghai Province and strictly ordering adventurers not to slaughter the local tribes, and then a group of officials of the Ministry of Rites began to sail out to the sea, trying to make contact with the local natives and hoping that they would give in. Obeying the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the migration of the population also began, and the Ming Dynasty issued a pioneering order. But all the people who are willing to migrate, each household can get two hundred acres of land or pasture in the New World for free, the Ming Dynasty will also provide them with rice seeds and lambs, provide a certain amount of tools, let them cultivate and graze freely, these benefits are still attractive, after all, the Han people have a deep-rooted attachment to the land, since it is free land, it means that everyone can become a landlord or rancher, two hundred acres of land is really not small, if it is placed in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there is no two hundred taels of silver can not buy so much land, More than 100,000 people participated in the migration, and the Oriental Navy transported the migrants to Dinghai Province one by one.
As for the treatment of the natives, Zhu Jun originally planned to be ruthless and carry out endless killings like those white colonists in history, but when it came to the end, he finally decided to give up, after all, he was still soft-hearted, such a brutal and inhumane massacre really couldn't be done, plus a few tens of thousands of natives on a big continent were really nothing, so let them fend for themselves, of course. For those tribes that attacked Han Chinese settlements, Zhu Jun had decreed that the Han people should have the right to resist, after all, most of the Han people who emigrated had bird commanders in hand, and the Nanyang Navy Division sent a detachment to patrol, which should be able to deal with the threat of the natives.
As for whether the adventurers can abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and not carry out private slaughter and looting on various islands and the New World, Zhu Jun can only turn a blind eye, in fact, the reason why these adventurers are so crazy is that they have gone through hardships and dangers to seek wealth, where are they willing to stay honestly in the New World to reclaim and farm, if this kind of thing is inspected too tightly by the imperial court, I am afraid that it will discourage the enthusiasm of the adventurers to open up, and Zhu Jun naturally takes the pioneering matter to heart. The structure of the three divisions of the yamen in the new land, the selection of officials, the management of Han settlements, and the control of the imperial court over the New World could not be relaxed, and the reason why the British lost Australia, Canada, the United States and other vast and praised colonies was because of the division caused by lax control, although Zhu Jun knew that the Ming Dynasty was different from the British. After all, Britain was only a small country, with a population of only one million at that time, and it was really difficult to control a colony ten times and a hundred times larger than itself, and when the United States became independent, the real resistance force did not come out of the rebels on the American continent, but the French who wanted to get along with the British. The population is even more skyrocketing, and the control over the colonies is naturally much stronger than that of the British, but in order to prevent it from happening, Zhu Jun naturally has to be a little more vigilant.
In fact, the original Manchurians were not extinguished, and Zhu Jun's eyes were too much on the Manchurians in the north, and
", unified the Kannai. On the contrary, there were more and more things to deal with, and the construction of Jiangbei was destroyed, and the Mongols outside the Guan, and even Zhu Jun's eyes began to move to Europe, after the Manchurians were wiped out. The British, French, and Spaniards on the European battlefield were deeply encouraged, and immediately sent a mission to Nanking to contact, although the eastern battlefield had little to do with them, but it could have a chain reaction, especially the Ottomans, who had to resist the pressure of Austria and the Russians, although every year they exhausted the treasury to buy fire and artillery from the Ming Dynasty. But once you get caught up in the frenzied quagmire of war, not only the entire treasury is empty. And it gradually fell apart, and the Russians and Austrians did not see how good they were, and the years of war had exhausted them, so that both sides had to shrink their fronts, and the Ottomans came this time to be the most active. They hoped to broker a series of agreements with the Ming Dynasty, at least to allow the Ming to launch an offensive against Russia in the north, thereby easing the Ottoman Empire's military presence in the west.
It's just that for the Ottoman envoys, the wishes are good, but the reality is cruel, the Ottoman envoys arrived in Nanjing for two months, and the French, English, and Spaniards have not been received by the Ming Emperor, although several ambassadors have been to the Ministry of Rites several times, but they have all been closed. The attitude of the Ming Dynasty made several envoys angry. But he didn't dare to do it, what is Daming? People are the big backstage of the anti-Dutch alliance, although the Ming did not fight with the Dutch, but most of the weapons of the anti-Dutch alliance went to the Ming to buy, once the Ming was angry, as long as the warships, fire, artillery supply cut off, then the four countries are afraid to suffer, now the war is getting more and more intense, not only soldiers, even civilians have begun to go to the battlefield, the two sides have formed a blood feud in the killing. Due to the war depleted the treasury of both sides, in order to continue to support, a series of looting of each other's civilians and even massacres gradually spread, and finally in order to retaliate, the host country carried out a larger-scale massacre of the enemy's towns, the anti-Dutch alliance has been exhausted, and it is urgent to change the current situation, otherwise it will fall deeper and deeper, and even at the last moment of national peril, even if such a war is won, the benefits may not be enough to compensate for their losses, and there are not a few hundreds of years I am afraid that I will not want to recover, therefore. All four countries hope that the Ming Dynasty will attack Russia. In order to reduce the deployment of Russian forces on the European battlefield and reduce the pressure.
The problem now is that Shikoku urgently needs the support of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, so he could only go to the Ministry of Rites every three or five days to find out, hoping that the Ming Emperor would approve the meeting.
Finally, news came from the palace, a little eunuch pinched his throat and didn't even look at the four catties, the envoy glanced at it, only snorted his mouth, and then said: "The emperor has a decree, the envoys will follow our family into the palace to see." ”
The ambassadors of the four countries were overjoyed and spent more than two months in Nanjing, and the suffering can be imagined. The British are nothing, after all, it is an island country, although it is very weak, and it is no longer able to support it, but the superior geographical environment has made the British homeland not suffer too much harm. However, the French, Spaniards, and Ottomans suffered a lot, and the war was still very restrained at the beginning, and both sides of the war had always upheld the spirit of chivalry, but later, even the military rations could not be supplied for a long time, and some extremely hungry soldiers began to grab food in the enemy-occupied areas, but all the civilians who resisted were slaughtered.
His Majesty the Emperor lined up in the Golden Palace, took off their top hats and greeted Zhu Junjaw, who was not happy or angry on the chair, and they spoke standard Chinese, which gradually became popular in Europe due to the Ming Dynasty's contact with Europe. Politicians and businessmen, in particular, often have to deal with Han Chinese, so it is natural that they have to learn this popular language of communication.
"Well, let's be exempt, Lian has been very busy these days, and he hasn't been able to take care of the envoys, you won't be surprised, right?" Zhu Jun's kind face made the envoys breathe a sigh of relief, and the Ming Emperor put them aside, and several envoys originally thought that they had offended this catty. The emperor, seeing his calm explanation at this time, even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he finally let go of his heart and hurriedly said together: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has every opportunity, where do your subordinates dare to complain." ”
Zhu Jun raised his eyebrows, and then became serious: "Okay, you came in a hurry, but are you for the order of battleships and artillery?" ”
The Ottoman envoy was the most anxious, and took the first step to stand up and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is a secondary issue, in terms of weapons, we have already placed an order for the Celestial Empire for the next year, and we are here to ask His Majesty the Emperor to send troops to the north on the instructions of the king." Attack the Russians from the belly and back to relieve the pressure on the European theater
"Oh? Is it? Zhu Jun's eyes were full of cunning, and then he coughed: "Russians? ”,,,,
