A war with the Inca Empire was imperative. However, at present, Zhu Hao still has to deal with internal affairs properly, especially for the setting up of basic management in the city, such as the administration and the military, especially when it comes to the division of powers between the two parties.

After detailed calculations, Zhu Hao prepared to take 10,000 soldiers and horses to the Inca Empire, in addition to 2,000 Ming officers and soldiers, there were 3,000 militiamen, 2,000 craftsmen, and 3,000 natives responsible for transporting materials.

In addition to these 10,000 people, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and the scale is gradually expanding. Xincheng is the largest city controlled by Zhu Hao in the New World at the moment, and it is also the foundation of his rule, but most of the weapons transported from the Ming Dynasty are still stored in the bridgehead, and all the Ming people are stationed in the city, and only a few natives will be brought over to work, which is more like a high-level Ming Acropolis, a special military fortress.

"According to the Ming city setting, set up a workshop in the city, each square has an official office, arrange a Daming owner and aboriginal owner, directly obey the city owner, and the current city owner is equivalent to the Ming county, the owner is equivalent to the chief, layer by layer.

"If the people of Daming commit a crime, the owner of the Daming Fang will interrogate the situation, involving theft and robbery, and the crime of the aborigines will be reduced by one degree compared to the crime of the "Daming Law", and the crime of the aborigines will be reduced by two degrees. If the aborigines commit a crime, the aboriginal owner will interrogate the situation, and the "Daming Law" will still be used as the basis, and the crime will be added by one degree, and if it involves the aboriginal crime against the Daming people, the crime will be increased by two degrees. "Zhu Hao can't write a law now.

The simplest is to implement the doctrine of taking, with the "Da Ming Law" as the basic criterion for judging, fortunately, the Da Ming scholars have been involved in the "Da Ming Law" and other issues when they take the imperial examination, although it seems very superficial, but at least give them a copy of the "Da Ming Law" can be understood, and under their words and deeds, the indigenous owners can also understand

The most basic legal provision is "death to the murderer". Although it is impossible to achieve the same crime as the natives of the Ming Dynasty, they will not turn a blind eye to the crimes committed by the Ming people against the natives, especially when it comes to adultery and plunder, which must be strictly prohibited.

According to the rules formulated by Zhu Hao, if the people of the Ming Dynasty committed the crime of rape and abduction of the natives, they would basically be convicted of the crime of exile, in short, they would be sent to the front line of Chang'an City and go to the mines there to work as coolies for a period of one year.

If it involves killing, at the same time as being beaten with a military stick, it will also be sent to migrate, or directly sent to the border land, and open up the wasteland with the natives, for a period of two years, and the identity as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty will be temporarily deprived, and the next time you can only kill your head.

This is actually a kind of protection with high authority for the Ming people. It is also to fully take into account the pride of the Ming people, and to take care of the emotions of all the Ming people who participated in the reclamation, but if it is used to commit a crime by using the identity of a superior person, it will go against Zhu Hao's original intention of completely assimilating the indigenous people in the American continent for a long time, and it needs to be severely cracked down.

………… The urban construction of the new city is progressing rapidly, but not many new ships are built, mainly due to the lack of raw material supply.

By February of the third year of Jiajing, Zhu Hao's subordinates still only had two coal mines, one of which was still in poor condition and could not be used for steelmaking, and charcoal even had to be used for steam engines at this time, which significantly slowed down the industrialization process.

Although Zhu Hao wants to continue to develop to the east of Chang'an City to solve the problem of insufficient supply of raw materials, he has now focused on conquering the Inca Empire, and this matter can only be put aside.

Zhu Hao needed to take into account the defense of Xincheng and Chang'an City after he led his troops on an expedition to the Inca Empire. Zhu Hao has high hopes for Lu Songke.

"This expedition, you may bring back a large number of materials, and then a large city will be built over there, the distance between the two sides is very far, if everything goes well, two areas may be formed in the north and south in the future, each operating and developing, and then the north will depend on Lu Qianhu you." Zhu Hao told Lu Song this, more to let Lu Song know that the matter of returning to Daming could only be delayed.

Lu Song asked, "What if Your Majesty sends someone out to find us?" If Zhu Hao continues to stay in Xincheng, Lu Song doesn't have to worry about this problem, but he is afraid that if Zhu Hao is not there, Daming will send a fleet and bring thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Or do you want to follow this group of soldiers and horses back to the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, there won't be a fleet coming." ”

"Why?" Lu Song didn't understand. Zhu Hao said: "Do you think that the preparation for going to sea is small? We built so many ships, do you know how much it cost?

"Your Majesty is not very ambitious at the moment to expand his territory overseas, and if he has any expectations, it is up to us, so do you have to go to great lengths to build an ocean-going fleet, and then send troops and horses across the ocean to find us? Besides, I've had people bring back all the charts and logbooks, and even the most experienced navigators will take people to the ditch without the information I provide! When Lu Song heard this, he was relieved.

Since he set foot in the New World, Lu Song has always been worried, what if he is captured by the Ming army one day, what will he do?

The current Lu Song is, after all

"Wearing a sinful body", he is also very concerned about the safety of his wife and children in Daming.

"Lu Qianhu, it's time to call you the governor of Lu in the future, you are the governor of my Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses here will be handed over to you in the future!" Zhu Hao began to clearly divide the positions in the military.

Zhu Hao's official position is naturally the highest, which is for marshal, followed by Lu Song

"Governor", equivalent to the commander of the front army, the army left in this area, whether it is the army or the navy, is available for his disposal, he has Lu Bing, a cadre under his command, and there are many brocade guards and hundreds of households, general flags and small flags can be promoted to officers at all levels, and there must be no problem in commanding.

As for Guan Dezhao's father and son, Zhu Hao is also ready to reuse. Or rather, the father and son will be

The head of the "Southern Army". The northern army was handed over to the Lu family father and son, but because Guan Jing was currently staying in Chang'an City, only Guan Dezhao followed him when he went south this time, and when he arrived at the Inca Empire, if he could successfully take it, he would hand it over to Guan Dezhao to take care of the army, and Guan Jing would be sent over in the future.

However, there is still a key problem before this, which is to ensure that the European colonizers do not take advantage of the situation or compete with the Ming army for the fruits of victory.

………… The preparations before the expedition were complicated. The first season of grain has not yet been produced, and the expedition needs to use the grain brought by the fleet from the Ming Dynasty, as well as from the aborigines

"Taxation". There is also a problem, there are so many singles in the army at the moment, and there is an urgent need to solve the problem of women.

Now there are more men and fewer women on the indigenous side, which leads to the emergence of this small country controlled by Zhu Hao

The phenomenon of "yang flourishes and yin declines", but after all, it is to colonize, everything must give priority to ensuring the personal emotional comfort of the Ming people, and the women who are not married on the indigenous side, or the widows who are more numerous, can only be paired with the Ming people at the moment.

But not every Ming soldier or common man has this need, and Zhu Hao said that there will be more and more people in the territory in the future, and there will be more indigenous women who can marry in the future.

Now there are so many women, most of them are widows, and Zhu Hao clearly stipulated that the original family structure of the indigenous people cannot be dismantled, and there are only a handful of good looks, so the demand is not so strong.

Of course, it didn't say that Zhu Hao was ready to send two or even three people at a time, everything should be prioritized by military merit and accumulated credit in urban construction, since he can't look down on the three melons and two dates at the moment, it is better to wait first.

It took more than half a year from the Ming Dynasty to the New World, and it didn't mean that women had to solve their physical problems, and it didn't mean that they couldn't vent their loneliness if they didn't give a match

"Whatever", or they regard it as a resource to live on, hoping to exchange something from the protectors of the Celestial Empire, so this kind of thing is repeatedly banned.

There's another problem. That is, the medicinal herbs must be replenished as soon as possible. Although Zhu Hao had arranged for people to go to the field to find herbs after bringing the Ming army, and at the same time planted the seeds of medicinal herbs brought from the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time his own fleet also brought a large number of medicinal materials, but because the place where he came was in a state of wilderness, the army caused a lot of casualties due to epidemics such as water and soil adaptation.

Zhu Hao has opened a specialized

The "medical school", among which there are dozens of doctors brought from the Ming Dynasty, as well as the craftsmen trained by Zhu Hao before, are going all out to make some plant antibiotics, and at the same time, Zhu Hao is also trying to make some more direct antibiotics.

Everything takes time. As for the baggage aspect...... Zhu Hao felt that there was basically no trouble in attacking the city, so with the city defense level of the Inca Empire, explosives made of nitroglycerin could basically explode, and then he only needed to watch the performance of my Great Tomorrow Army.

Artillery is no longer intended to be used in this level of warfare, just fire guns and primitive machine guns.

Shoot at it. If you dare to come, I will destroy you all. What you want is to play the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient supply of ammunition, and it is also necessary to equip some broadswords, crossbows in addition to spears, and armor.................. Zhu Hao found that in order to prepare for the war, he had reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

In the end, he decided to bring all his women, Sun Lan and Lu Zhanqing would not stay in Xincheng, although it seemed hard to follow the south, and there was a certain risk, but Zhu Hao wanted to ensure that they were by his side, if he arrived in the Inca Empire, it was likely that he would not come back for more than half a year.
