Zhu Hao took a steel giant ship developed by himself and went to the South American continent.

Whether it is the people of the Ming Dynasty or the natives who are watching along the coast, it is as if watching the gods descend...... This big iron ship is much smaller than those battleships and aircraft carriers in later generations, but now after all, it is the initial stage of the steel giant ship, and it has specifications that ships in this era do not have, and more importantly, the solidity of steel makes it have the attributes of a sea fortress.

The first voyage of the big iron ship, there were only more than 500 people on board, except for Zhu Hao, all of them were professional sailors.

In addition, it was followed by dozens of large ships, carrying supplies from the new city to the south, as well as Ming and indigenous soldiers, as well as a large number of craftsmen, heading to the city of SF on the coast of the Inca Empire.

When the steel giant ship arrived at the port of SF City, it attracted a large number of onlookers.

Zhu Hao landed on the shore, and Lou Suzhen, Guan Dezhao and others came to greet him in person.

"I haven't been back for more than half a year, and I feel like a lot has changed here."

Zhu Hao looked up at the city in front of him, after more than half a year of construction, this city is becoming more and more like a civilized city in later generations, especially after adding some high-rise five- and six-story buildings made of reinforced concrete, it seems to have the breath of modern civilization all of a sudden.

Lou Suzhen took Zhu Hao to visit the newly built "City Lord's Mansion".

It was a twelve-story building that began to lay the foundation stone before Zhu Hao left and took about four months to build.

It is very tall and majestic, in addition to the residential and office attributes, it also has the role of a city defense watchtower, just the solidity of the outer wall, even if it is the explosion of black powder, it is difficult to blow it up, Lou Suzhen is proud of himself as the city lord, can live in this place.

Lou Suzhen said: "Next door is the temple. ”

Zhu Hao looked out of the window when he heard this.

The windows of this building are made of glass, standing in such a building that has never been seen before in the world, Zhu Hao sincerely feels the importance of technology.

You must know that this kind of high-rise buildings mostly appeared in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, that is, more than 300 years later, and Zhu Hao's next improvement plan for SF City is to make it the most technological city in the Americas and even the whole world, so that some "high-rise buildings" can appear here, and even some "skyscrapers" can be built.

But this requires the training of more skilled construction engineers and workers.

Zhu Hao pointed to the mountains looming in the distance, full of pride: "The next step is to occupy all this country...... I will send five soldiers and horses, mainly to appease, if you encounter a situation of resistance, no mercy! After more than a year of familiarity, they should also know that the army of the Ming Dynasty is no threat to ordinary people, and if they are still going against the sky at this time, they can only say that they do not know the times. ”

Zhu Hao no longer had any tolerance for the backward political system of the Inca Empire.

In fact, the nobles and commoners within the Inca Empire are constantly breaking through the blockade and moving closer to the area around SF City...... Some nobles were afraid of being persecuted by the royal family of the Inca Empire, so they moved their families directly, of course, but they only lived in SF City, and the people in the territories under their jurisdiction still had to pay taxes to the families they sent.

And now, Zhu Hao will gradually break the complex internal structure of the Inca Empire, and even if he wants to divide the seal, it will have to be divided by Zhu Hao.

The social system needs to be reformed, Zhu Hao knows that he can't be a big fat man by eating in one breath, but at least he has to take action, after all, he can't go thousands of miles without accumulating steps.

……

……

Zhu Hao returned to Shunfeng City, in the more than half a year since he left, there has not even been an invasion of the surrounding war, it seems that the people of the Inca Empire also know that it is a grasshopper shaking the tree to fight against the Ming army, and now the Ming army does not invade them, even if they burn high incense.

But with Zhu Hao's return, the balance was instantly broken.

Zhu Hao sent five soldiers and horses, and there were about 200 soldiers and horses of the Ming Guard, 300 militiamen, with about 800 Aztec soldiers, plus about 3,000 Inca soldiers who were responsible for transportation and battlefield sweeping.

The five roads were divided into two roads in the direction of Cusco, and these two groups of men and horses also added 50 Ming soldiers and 100 militiamen each.

Zhu Hao sent a total of 1,100 Ming soldiers and 1,700 militiamen, supplemented by the Aztec soldiers who were the first to obey him after arriving in the New World, to prepare for the unification of the Inca Empire.

The use of the indigenous soldiers in the north is more because they do not understand the language between them and the Incas, plus they have lost their homeland in the first place, and they will not secretly communicate with the royal family of the Inca Empire, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the war.

Zhu Hao sent five people to the expedition.

Guan Jing will lead two groups of men and horses straight to Cusco, and his task is to capture Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire, in the shortest possible time, and use it as a basis to take all the city-state fortresses in the core area of the Inca Empire.

Commanding the rest of the three people, there are two of them who are the former Jinyi Wei Baihu, and one is a leader who stands out from the militia, originally a craftsman, but he is skilled in bows and horses, especially good at the art of war, every time he charges forward, and he fights bravely, so his official position is promoted quickly.

These generals who commanded the army have all experienced previous battles under Zhu Hao, and they have rich combat experience, and I believe they will not disappoint.

Five soldiers and horses came out.

The army loyal to the royal family of the Inca Empire has no chance of winning, let alone having to deal with five people at the same time, even if they concentrate all the forces of the country to deal with one road, they will not be able to bear it.

Zhu Hao stayed in SF City, just like a remote command, and received the situation of the five people at any time through "night does not collect".

At this time, there were still more than 8,000 soldiers and militia stationed in SF City, and 30,000 Inca soldiers were newly trained.

But as the war progressed, the news that people from all walks of life came back one after another, making Zhu Hao feel that the power of the Inca Empire alone could not stop his great cause of unification.

Three months later.

Guan Jing took the "50,000 army" he raised, mainly the soldiers who surrendered from the Inca Empire around Cusco, plus the men and horses he brought, as well as the men, women and children of the Inca Imperial Family, as well as groups of nobles and their attendants, appeared outside the city of SF.

Zhu Hao did not let Wayna come to witness this scene.

probably felt that this was a bit too cruel for Vayina, who claimed to be a generation of Shengming Emperors, although Vayina and other royal families of the Inca Empire should have expected such an ending.

Among this group of people, there was Luo Fei, the princess of the Inca Empire, who had come to SF City several times before to negotiate.

Luo Fei and her husband, along with several children, were among the few who qualified to ride in the carriage, and the family was held in solitary confinement, while the rest moved into the "city within a city" that Zhu Hao had prepared in advance, which was more like a replica of the imperial city of the Inca Empire.

Only the royal family of the Inca Empire, as well as the nobles who were inclined to them, were eligible to live in it, of course, it was more like a prison, ordinary people were not allowed to enter and exit, and someone would regularly send food and clothing to it.

Vayina doesn't live there.

"Since His Holiness is the messenger of the gods, why do you have no faith in your words? We already have the utmost respect for the gods. ”

When Luo Fei settled down and appeared in front of Zhu Hao to pay homage and salute, he questioned him in person.

After a year of contact with the Ming people, Luo Fei's Chinese proficiency is already very high, and even her accent is Beijing, although she was previously dedicated to serving as Zhu Hao's envoy and preparing to take over the supreme power of the Inca Empire, now that everything is in vain, the anger she should have must be expressed.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Since you asked, I have nothing to hide, the gods don't like you to always do nothing, inefficient work, you need to implement a more advanced system to improve productivity and people's living standards." Rest assured that your right to life will be fully guaranteed here, and you will be supported, with only a slight change in your lifestyle! ”

Zhu Hao will not exterminate the royal family of the Inca Empire.

This was a radical departure from the murderous approach adopted by the Spaniards after their conquest of the Inca Empire.

It was also Zhu Hao who considered that in the future, he would use the identity of the Inca Empire to continue to conquer the local forces of the empire until he expanded his territory to the whole of South America.

It is the best way to control razing with razing, even if the Ming army is strong in combat, it is always difficult to integrate with the local natives in a short period of time.

Those territories that were not part of the Inca Empire, the natives also preferred to be conquered by "their kind" rather than by a terrible army from an exotic land.

……

……

The Luo Fei family also lives in a city within a city.

Zhu Hao's plan is to gradually change the living habits of the royal family and nobles of the Inca Empire, although they will give all kinds of daily necessities and will not be treated badly, but they also need to complete some work, become useful people to this society, and contribute their own strength to Zhu Hao's future empire.

These royal families and nobles have certain connections, if they are overly oppressed, some of them will feel that the Ming army has snatched what should belong to them, and then Zhu Hao will encounter great resistance if he wants to conquer the country and achieve long-term rule.

On the contrary, it is better to continue to let them be royals and nobles, and become the middle and upper class of society, which is the best way to paralyze and co-opt them.

Even if the country is not under their rule, it is not too much to give them some necessary resources.

Mainly because the Inca Empire itself was a theocratic country, the people respected and feared the royal family, and if they rashly wiped out the gods they once thought they had, their obedience to the Ming Dynasty would also be greatly reduced.

Previously, Zhu Hao was able to co-opt many people of the Inca Empire, mainly because the people of the Inca Empire in the coastal areas belonged to the marginal population of the empire.

And the main areas controlled by the Inca Empire, that is, the people centered on Cusco, they will not easily change their loyalty to the royal family, or they only feel that they can get close to the royal family in order to get the blessing of God and ensure that they have no worries about survival, Zhu Hao needs to gradually change their perception.

……

……

Among the five people, Guan Jing was the first to come back.

Later, Guan Jing will continue to lead troops to the expedition, this time he will bring some Inca Empire nobles who have long been subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, accept the sub-feudals, and let them govern some areas, and help the Ming Dynasty complete the work of organizing the people to farm, open mines and collect taxes.

SF City will become the capital of the future Inca Empire.

In order to show that Wayna is still the ruler of the Inca Empire, Zhu Hao specially held a ceremony for him to bestow divine power, and in the palace of the lord of Shunfeng City, Zhu Hao personally put on the crown for Wayna.

This made the royal family of the Inca Empire, who were forced to move to SF City with the royal family, temporarily feel at ease.

The messengers of God did not even kill their kings, so they were safe to come.

Even if a city within a city looks like a prison, not everyone has to live in it all the time, and each family will send people from their families to study and work according to their different days, and have teachers to teach them the necessary survival skills.

And part of the output of their territory will still be delivered to their homes by special people.

They are still nobles, but the people who rule them, in addition to the former emperor, there is also Zhu Hao, a divine envoy.
