Chapter 489 The second stunned official of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 489
The Spanish and Ming sides quickly completed the transfer of sovereignty over this land, and the Spaniards had little interest in this land without gold or silver mines, but Mexico fascinated them even more.
A large plain of 1.5 million square kilometers said that he would give up, which really made Shen Qidong and the others stunned, he thought that he needed to fight a war this time, but he didn't expect that after the Spaniards signed the document, they evacuated a small number of immigrants on this land as promised.
On this land, there are plantations developed by the Spaniards, a total of 163 large and small estates, which is the only trace of modern civilization on this land.
Unlike the positioning of Australia and Luzon, this land, the Ming means are relatively mild, because the Indians are yellow and look similar to the Ming people, as long as they change their living customs and language, they can be assimilated.
After the Ming fleet led by Shen Qidong built the port of Xinming, he successively sent many more expeditions, while building roads, while exploring, trying to contact the natives on the plains of La Plata, to see if they could pull them to their side.
At this time, the Indians of the plain of La Plata were no longer alive under the slaughter of the Spaniards and the devastation of the plague, and they were full of vigilance and hatred for all outsiders, and the expeditions of the Ming Dynasty were attacked by them one after another.
However, the battle-hardened Ming army easily defused these attacks and captured many natives. Shen Qidong did not embarrass these natives, but gave them some medicine, food, and cotton cloth as gifts to show goodwill.
The natives who accepted the gift soon realized that these outsiders of the same color as them had no ill will towards them, and gradually came into contact with the Ming, and the yellow skin and black eyes gave them a great advantage in the contact.
After having had enough of the white people's suffering, the natives of La Plata developed a natural affinity for these people of the same skin color as themselves, and the relationship between the two sides soon became harmonious.
Shen Qidong showed the natives the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming Royal Army, although it was only a regiment of troops, and there were only thirty rocket artillery, but the natives were still dumbfounded and shocked, and after the show of force, he told the natives that his empire had an army like this one million, of course, this was just bragging.
Even if the Ming Dynasty has completed the de facto basic reunification after taking Shaanxi, the Ming Dynasty now has only 39 army brigades, as well as four main fleets, three ocean-going combined fleets, and the navy and army combined, totaling more than 895,000 people, 900,000 is about equal to one million, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it.
Hearing that the Ming Dynasty has a million army, they really can't imagine what kind of concept a million army is.
Shen Qidong took the opportunity to tell them that everyone had yellow skin and black eyes, and thousands of years ago they were one family, as long as they were willing to become vassals of the Ming Dynasty and accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was willing to send troops to ensure their safety!
The natives of La Plata didn't even think about it, so they agreed. They have no concept of a state, not even a clear concept of ethnicity, and after a near-extinction catastrophe, they welcome any force willing to protect them.
As a result, the Xinming Management Committee was established, and the more than a dozen tribal chiefs who came into contact with the Ming Dynasty were elected as members of the Management Committee, and the Ming people established the first city in the land of Xinming, that is, the New Golden City.
The new Jincheng is not built according to the city of Jinzhou, but according to the model of Beijing 49 City, of course, now there is only one place name, the so-called city wall, in fact, is a circle of barbed wire, due to the rain, can only build wooden houses, want to develop Xinming, it is too difficult.
The main force to build the new golden city, in fact, is still the local aborigines, there is no way, there are too few Ming people, they have formed more than three hundred exploration teams before and after, with the deepening of exploration, more and more mysteries of this continent are presented in front of his eyes.
The jaguar warriors living in the tropical rainforest, the pyramids submerged in the rainforest, the mysterious Mayan civilization, the heart-pounding Inca treasures, and the indigenous Indians who drank blood...... All of this fascinated him, whether grotesque or bizarre, and the European colonialists were also horrified by the poison of the continent.
The Spaniards, in particular, have fallen in a pool of blood under their swords and axes, one country after another with a bit of fantasy has been reduced to ashes, and once prosperous cities have been reduced to ruins, and all this is simply because they are stronger than these natives who are still in the Stone Age!
White immigrants have become the owners of the land, which has been moved either to the more barren mountains or to graves.
For example, Mexico had a population of 14 million before the Spanish arrived in this land, but in just 100 years, the Spanish have effectively reduced the total population of Mexico to 200,000 or 300,000.
For thousands of years, the American continent has been isolated from the ocean and has become a wild land, and for one reason or another, the progress of civilization here is unimaginably slow.
Relatively speaking, South America, with its mountainous and rainy forests, less arable land and a larger population, evolved relatively quickly, and although it was still the Stone Age, they had already created their own unique writing, religion, law, and made extraordinary achievements in mathematics, astronomy, architecture, and other fields, so that historians could not believe that these achievements were achieved by a race that was still in the Stone Age, and even bronze was not yet popular.
However, the vast and sparsely populated North American continent, due to the slow population growth, there is no pressure on arable land, and they have not even touched the edge of civilization, they do not have their own cities, they do not have their own writing, let alone any agricultural civilization, if the civilization of the South American Indians is backward, then the North American Indians cannot even talk about civilization.
The fact that the worse end of the continent developed much better than the better end of the continent is unique in thousands of years of history.
Of course, these two ends are not incompatible, no matter what the period, there will always be some bad guys sailing along the coastline in canoes to explore the unknown world, many of them died at sea, but there are still some lucky enough to arrive on the North American continent, communicate with the indigenous people living on the North American continent, and even engage in more primitive barter trade.
Daming was able to communicate well with the Indians, or because of misunderstanding, yes, the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty was very similar to the Quetzalcoatl God of the Indians, and as a result, when the Indians knew, the Ming people from afar and far, like them, had yellow skin and black eyes, and drove away the evil whites and rescued countless Indians from suffering.
As a result, the Ming people became the oracle or savior of the indigenous people here.
This is also relatively gentle with the way of the Ming people, following the Ming people, they can get salt, they can also get silk, they can also get sharp swords, and they can also get grain and fruits.
Of course, all this cannot be given away in vain, they need to pay labor, or pay their own prey, even if the Ming people use a small bag of salt, about twenty or thirty catties of salt, in exchange for a cow they hunt, but compared to the white demons, the Ming people are too friendly.
For sailors who have been adrift at sea for a long time, canned food is their most hated food, but the problem is that it is the favorite food of the indigenous people, who are willing to exchange a few hundred pounds of bananas for a can, and a few hundred pounds of corn for a piece of cloth, which is cool and breathable, much better than their fur or grass skirt.
It may be a bit too much to describe the Indians as primitive societies, but their level of civilization is really not much stronger than that of primitive societies. The American Indians, who have been isolated from the world's civilization circle, have been like this for thousands of years, and they do not know that the world has begun the industrial revolution, and their backward civilization will be the first sacrifice of the industrial revolution.
……
Beijing, Forbidden City.
"What time is it?"
Xiang Hui looked at the mobile phone next to him: "It's almost six o'clock......
Cheng Shijie hurriedly got dressed, and said: "If you don't sleep, your bones will be sour if you sleep again!" ”
Now that Beizhili has entered the spring ploughing period, as the regent of the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Shijie and Princess Xiang Hui began to pretend to plough the land.
Fortunately, Cheng Shijie has too many nominal concubines, except for Yang Yunniang, Zhu Weiyuan and Jin Qiaoer, they all went to work in the field, and more than a dozen acres of land were finally planted with crops.
Xiang Hui had to compromise with Cheng Shijie, because she saw for the first time the spirit of the Ming officials, because Xiang Hui was jealous, Cheng Shijie had never dared to touch other women over the years, until now, Cheng Shijie only has one son and one daughter, and his wanton behavior can be regarded as both children for ordinary people.
But the problem is that Cheng Shijie is the regent of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the infant mortality rate is too high, and adults may find out about the accident.
Sun Zhixi's third son didn't have time to choose a name, because he wanted to wait for his son to be a hundred days later, and let his grandfather Sun Chengzong choose a name, but when this son was forty-three days old, the child stopped breathing.
Under this unexpected stimulus, he was about to go crazy.
It doesn't matter if Sun Zhili dies a son, but Cheng Shijie has only one son, in case Cheng Jialong is gone, then the sky of Daming will fall, and now Cheng Shijie is still young and can still have a son, if in a few years, Cheng Shijie is older, then there is no way at all.
Sun Zhilan directly brought more than 300 people, including cabinet members and the six branch ministers and the imperial historian, to see Xiang Hui.
Xiang Hui was a little puzzled, what did Sun Zhilan, the first person to see her, do? Since she came to the time and space of Daming, she has not interfered with anything Cheng Shijie has done.
So, Xiang Hui saw Sun Zhili in Kunning Palace, and then, Xiang Hui saw a shocking scene, and two or three hundred officials knelt down in front of her.
This is forcing the palace in front of Xiang Hui.
Sun Zhili's recital was written in hundreds of words, but Xiang Hui was reminded by Gong E, and then she understood that it was Sun Zhili who asked her not to be jealous for the sake of the country, and for the sake of the Cheng family, the Cheng family should have more children and grandchildren.
Xiang Hui really hasn't encountered this situation, she wants Cheng Shijie to deal with the matter, but the problem is that these officials are stunned and have a mental attack, and they directly hit their heads against the pillar.
The sound of "bang bang bang" was endless, and as a result, more than a dozen people were killed in the local area, and nearly 100 people were injured.
Xiang Hui finally realized the horror of the customs, and Zhu Weiyuan came up with another plan, that is, to marry Cheng Jialong and have children, as long as the Cheng family is endless, there will be no turmoil in the country, the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil for too long, and the people have only lived a good life for a few days, and they really can't stand the toss.
If Xiang Hui doesn't like a few of them, you can change them to Hui people.
Xiang Hui was forced into a dead end.
In desperation, Xiang Hui decided to compromise with Cheng Shijie and allow other women to share their husbands, don't look at Xiang Hui has not experienced the political struggle of the Ming Dynasty, but she understands that there are some things that she can't stop, and the relationship between her and Cheng Shijie is actually not pure.
In all fairness, Xiang Hui doesn't understand politics, but the problem is that she has also watched a lot of TV series, especially the struggle between Wu Meiniang and Queen Wang, she has watched movie reviews, listened to the interpretation of professionals, and watched Wu Meiniang is personal effort, in fact, this represents the forces behind her, her background, and directly determines her victory.
Now Xiang Hui is the same, she has blocked the interests of many people, if it continues, in this dirtiest cage, anything can happen, none of the children of the Emperor of the Apocalypse survived, this is definitely not a health problem, nor a genetic problem, but many people do not want the descendants of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to live, step by step.
Xiang Hui compromised with Cheng Shijie, but this compromise was conditional, Xiang Hui wanted to have another child, whether it was a boy or a girl, Sun Zhili and others also supported him to become the queen.
At the same time, Cheng Jialong's biological son must be the crown prince, the future emperor.
Xiang Hui decided to squeeze Cheng Shijie out first.
Cheng Shijie was afraid of the dark during this time, because every time it was dark, he would be in pain and happy.
Of course, Cheng Shijie was not alone in pain and happiness at this time, as well as Li Zhixiang, the Ming Navy organized an expeditionary force to India, but the problem was that the fleet had just left the Strait of Malacca and entered the Indian Ocean, and as a result, it encountered a hurricane.
The thousand-ton giant ship is like a flat boat, under the earth-shattering waves, brushing shoulders with death, and the danger is full of dangers.
