"Utilization? What do you mean?" Seattle said, with a look of sudden realization.

"Understood, since the whites want to use us against the Mingren, then we can take the opportunity to get the whites to give us more muskets, more cannons and gunpowder!"

Seattle laughed.

Of course, the Soviet Union in North America was not the industrialized Soviet Union of later generations, they were nomadic and nomadic Soviet Unions, so they could not produce their own muskets, artillery, and gunpowder.

They weren't even a country - strictly speaking, the social form in which the Sioux Tribal Alliance was located was somewhat similar to the Huaxia Tribal Alliance before the Xia Dynasty was established compared to the Shenzhou Continent.

The Seattle chieftain himself is similar to the tribal leaders such as the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor who are revered by the Chinese Tribal Alliance.

But.

The Sioux Tribal Alliance, a tribal alliance with muskets and artillery, is still very awesome.

Right now.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a tribal warrior walked in, saluted respectfully, and said, "Chief, Great Elder, the messenger of the white man is here!" ”

Seattle and the Grand Elder looked at each other, and the two of them sat up straight.

"Let them in!"

"What? You want to. Five thousand muskets, a hundred cannons? ”

All three messengers were startled by the Seattle chief's lion opening.

"No, no, no, we can't give you so many weapons."

"Then there is no need to talk about it, we can go and talk to the Chinese about these things." A hint of cunning flashed in the corner of Chief Seattle's eyes.

The three chiefs looked at each other.

Actually, it's not that you can't give.

Although the Seattle chief feels like he wants a lot.

But is five thousand muskets a lot?

Not much at all.

But they can't give these natives the illusion that they can easily give away a lot of weapons.

"We can give you five thousand muskets, but this number is too much, so. We can only give 1,000 in the early stage! John replied, "If you can exchange the head of the Ming people, a human head. Five muskets! John said with his palm outstretched.

In the Wild New World.

Although all forces are brewing.

But it will not be easy to start a big war in a new continent with little infrastructure and few roads.

And right now.

The second group of 10 New World-type migrant ships and two escort warships sailed continuously for nearly twenty days after replenishing fresh water and food from the Gulf of Tonkin.

Follow the logbook.

It should be very close to the New World.

You may see the big lighthouse on the mountain of Jinshan Port at any time.

"Young Master Li, it should be almost there by now, right?"

On a migrant ship.

Sichuan farmer Xu Fugui and his fellow villagers Li Zhongyi and Li Xiucai got the opportunity to let off steam, and they came out together to breathe.

Due to the fact that there are too many people on one migrant ship.

Therefore, it is necessary to obtain permission to go to the deck, and it is necessary to come out at a specified time and place.

So although Li Zhongyi still looks sick now, he still doesn't want to miss this opportunity to breathe, the smell in the cabin is too bad.

Speaking of which, Li Zhongyi is also unlucky.

He originally went to Chengdu to take the Xiucai exam, and in one fell swoop, he was arranged to be an official at the Sichuan Immigration Bureau.

Li Zhongyi, who had no connections in Chengdu, was arranged to go to the New World with the ship - it was said that he could return.

Originally, Li Zhongyi also felt that it was nothing.

It's nothing more than a boat.

He is a native of Sichuan, and he has seen a lot of rivers, and taking a boat is not a matter for him at all.

Thirty days to go, forty days to come back, horizontal and vertical is a matter of months.

But who would have thought.

As soon as the big ship went out to sea.

The turbulence of the sea is not at all comparable to the rivers of Sichuan.

This bump up.

Li Zhongyi almost threw up his stomach.

OK

There are acquaintances on this ship.

It is his family's old tenant farmer Xu Fugui's family.

Xu Fugui's ugly daughter is undressed and carefully taken care of these days.

If not.

I'm afraid that Li Zhongyi won't be able to survive the day of arriving in the New World.

"I'm afraid it's going to be soon, I said it would take 20 days to set off from Tokyo Bay, but now it's 21 days."

Li Zhongyi said.

He looked at Xu Fugui and sighed again.

A yellow flower girl, undressed, almost took care of herself for 20 days.

O life-saver!

If you don't marry this girl.

Is that still a person?

If you don't marry Xu Aju (Xu Fugui's daughter).

There is only one way for Xu Aju to go. It's a hundred times to jump into the sea.

After all, it is the 18th century, and the folk customs are not yet open, and the Ming Dynasty has left behind many "bad habits" of the Qing Dynasty, such as the reputation of this woman's chastity.

So. People disregard their reputations and save their lives, what they can do. It can only be made by body.

But

People are really ugly

However, Li Zhongyi didn't know how precious women in the New World were

Especially a purebred Han woman.

Now I still don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings.

At this very moment...

Someone shouted: "Land! I saw the land!! ”

"It's here! It's here! ”

"God forbid! It's finally here."

Suddenly, on more than a dozen ships, the migrants cheered.

Along the way, no one died on any ship, and it was a really difficult journey.

But it's finally here.

Li Zhongyi excitedly ran to the bow of the ship and looked at the legendary New World.

Xu Aju also walked out, still carrying a musket in her hand - this is the standard for all immigrants in the New World, let alone Xu Aju, even her old mother and stupid brother have a gun.

Firearms can protect themselves and can hunt.

Both as a weapon.

At the same time, it is also a production tool.

At present, the New World has not yet been cultivated for farmland.

The importance of the gun is too great.

At this time, Xu Fugui began to persuade his daughter: "Baby, Young Master Li is a talent, not a figure we can afford to be, but Young Master Li seems to be a loving person, we don't ask to be a wife, let him take a concubine, it's still okay in the future."

Seeing the ugly appearance of his daughter, Xu Fugui sighed.

Later, what can be done in the future?

It's nothing more than being bullied by his wife and being snubbed by his father-in-law.

Xu Aju's eyes were red, and she subconsciously clenched the musket in her hand.

Just as a new fleet of ships bound for the New World arrived.

The first fleet has returned to the port of Shanghai.

More intel from the New World.

It was also placed on the desk of Zhu Daohua, the son of the great tomorrow.

"Arab League. USSR? ”

When Boss Zhu saw these two names, he gasped.

Forget it if you go against the US imperialists, and add a Soviet Union?

That's not how you look for death.

The Arab League is fine.

There is no oil in the New World anyway.

The name USSR is just too scary.

Boss Zhu took a closer look.

Oh, it turned out to be a union of Sioux tribes.

Boss Zhu wiped his cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Zeng Ada's strategy is stable, he only defends and does not attack, I am afraid that it is too conservative, and the surrounding indigenous tribes and white forces are colluding, in this case, it is better to clean up the tribes around the Jinshan Governorate as much as possible."

is talking to Tao Biquan, who returned to Zhongdu and became the secretary of the Ministry of War.

At this moment, in the conference room of the Beiyuan Palace.

A military conference is taking place.

Including the left and right prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the chief of staff of the Generalissimo's Office, and the Shangshu of the Admiralty and the War Department were all accompanying Emperor Zhu to look at a sand table that had just been completed.

This sand table is a topographic map of the Jinshan Governor's Mansion within a radius of 200 miles made by the Generalissimo's Mansion based on the first batch of materials brought back from the New World.

The terrain is clear at a glance.

And before this meeting begins.

Everyone also knows the current situation in the New World.

It's not good.

Aborigines and whites have a tendency to join forces against the Jinshan Governorate of the Ming Dynasty.

It was intended to start a war when the Ming Dynasty had not yet established a firm foothold in the New World.

OK.

The second batch of immigrants was triggered in time, and the third batch of immigrants is also being prepared.

At the same time, there are also private consortia that plan to organize private fleets to go to sea and explore around the Jinshan Governorate in search of mineral deposits and opportunities to make a fortune.

With the increase in the number of Chinese in the New World.

Of course, the greater the certainty of victory in the war.

"If you want to send troops, then you have to send another army to the pressure, will it be too much?"

Zuo Xianggu Song frowned and said.

On the other side, the right minister Peng Jun said: "Actually, you don't need too many troops, Your Majesty. Since the Soviet Union and the Arab League are all nomadic and nomadic tribes, it is better to let the Mongols deal with them? Let the Mongols go to the New World for grazing? Let them be nomadic while going to trouble the Spaniards, the Americans, and the British, and burn the flames of war into the enemy's territory, so that the safety of the Governor's Mansion of Jinshan will be sufficiently guaranteed. ”

Peng Jun's suggestion made many people present shine, but many people shook their heads.

"Mongols? They are no longer as brave as they used to be, these Mongols have been brainwashed and stupidized by the Yellow Sect, and they can't fight at all. ”

Someone said.

"What then? How many dragoon brigades were transferred over to sweep back and forth? ”

"The cost is too high"

Seeing that the ministers were arguing.

Zhu Daohua shook his head and said: "Isn't the Japanese warrior regiment doing a good job in Nanyang, let's recruit another group of Japanese samurai with more than 10,000 people to serve in the army and go to the New World to fight." ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Many ministers had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty. Recruit 10,000 more Japanese samurai? Wouldn't this be too much, now there are 40,000 Japanese samurai fighting in the South Seas, and 10,000 Japanese samurai have been recruited in the northeast to sweep the natives, and now another 10,000 will be recruited, that will be 60,000. Your Majesty, don't forget Li Tang's lesson. ”

Peng Jun frowned and said: "The Japanese are not my people after all, their hearts will be different, and the emperor should be cautious in using his bravery." And the Japanese are closer to the New World, in case"

Of course, Peng Jun would not know how much damage the Japanese had done to China in another time and space.

The purpose of his current opposition to the excessive use of Japanese soldiers is the lesson of the Anshi Rebellion.

Moreover, the place in the New World is high and the emperor is far away, in case these Japanese soldiers have some other ambitions.

It's hard to control.

However, Emperor Zhu was not worried about this.

The cost of immigrating to the New World is high.

It's not something that Japan under the current system can afford - a small Japan has hundreds of feudal lords, all of them have great power, and the people below have no way to rise, and the positions above are all fixed.

If Japan remains the way it is.

Revolutions are going to happen sooner or later.

However, Japan is now integrated into the Eastern Celestial Empire system created by the Ming Empire.

The pressure of social solidification in Japan has been absorbed by the Great Ming Dynasty system - the Japanese elite who can't get ahead in Japan can choose to work for the Ming Emperor!

Now for most of the Japanese low-level samurai.

But it's really that the father and mother are not as good as the emperor.

The samurai are undoubtedly the pillars of Japanese society, and according to the information that Zhu Daohua has mastered, there are currently 400,000 to 450,000 Japanese samurai who have Yuroku, and there are more samurai and ronin without Yuroku, making the total number of Japanese samurai about one million.

However, not all of these millions of samurai have the talent to be pillars.

There will be no more than 200,000 samurai who can really support the progress of Japanese society, so to weaken Japan, it is not possible to kill a few of their so-called reform elites.

But if more than 100,000 samurai elites were killed in future wars, the impetus for the progress of Japanese society would be greatly reduced!

That's why Zhu Daohua encouraged the use of Japanese samurai to fight the natives more in foreign colonial wars.

This time in the New World, the opponents were not only the natives, but also the Europeans.

Predictably.

In the New World, it is likely that there will be a great war involving many forces.

A life-consuming mill of flesh is about to appear in the New World.

This is not a hurry to send the Japanese samurai over to consume.

When are you going?

This time the number of Japanese samurai recruited was set at 10,000 was just the beginning, and ideally Japan would be included in the future Great War in the New World.

You know, it takes at least twenty years to train a living Japanese samurai to replace a dead Japanese samurai!

However, Emperor Zhu would not say these words to Peng Jun.

He smiled and said: "Right Minister, you are too worried, I will not learn from Emperor Tang Ming, the Japanese military soldiers are all going to the most marginal areas to fight, and they can't threaten the Ming Dynasty at all, and now is not the era of the Tang Dynasty, now the war relies on firearms, how can Japan compare with the Ming Dynasty in this regard." And the cost of using Japanese soldiers is lower than that of using Ming soldiers, first of all, we don't need to divide the land for Japanese soldiers, and we can save 1.6 million acres of land with 40,000 Japanese soldiers; Secondly, the salary requirements of the Japanese soldiers were low. Even in wartime, the average Japanese soldier's salary and vegetable expenses would not exceed $6 per month; If the soldiers were killed on the third day, the imperial court did not have to pay much compensation. They are all my retainers, as long as they let the young man in their family replace them as retainers, and give them another hundred and ten yuan.

As for the lack of adaptation to water and soil, it is not a problem at all, and now there are many drugs that can alleviate it, and there are very few people in the army who have fallen ill because of water and soil adaptation in recent years. Moreover, the Japanese are small and light in weight, and in the future, they will be equipped with Mongolian horses in the New World, and let them ride their horses to spread out in the New World, and attack and harass the forces of all parties that may threaten the Jinshan Governor's Palace, these Japanese small men are just right. And I'm going to get them to use revolvers. The Japanese samurai were not afraid of death, and put in the repeating pistol to fight, which was just right! ”

Peng Jun and others did not agree with this analysis, and they were also full of reluctance to use too many Japanese in the army, so they were silent to express their opposition.

Zhu Daohua knew that it would be difficult for him to convince them, so he simply used the power of the Qiangang dictatorship.

Reaffirmed his decision, and then asked everyone to leave.
