The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Hongyu turned his head, continued to look at the map and said.

"Furthermore, you want the Ganges Plain."

"Actually, let me tell you that Wu Zhou doesn't need to control too much land in the Ganges Plain."

"Because, even if you win, you don't have enough population for development."

"On the contrary, if the Ganges Plain continues to be controlled by the Mughal Empire, then you can harvest food from the Ganges Plain without burden and extract war resources."

"What you really need to do now is to manage Lahore, and turn Lahore into a nail for you to drive to the Ganges Plain, a bridgehead for your march to the Ganges Plain..."

"Can the Qing family understand what I mean?"

Hearing this, Wu Yingxiong also showed deep thought.

He had to admit that what Zhu Hongyu said was correct.

Now the Han population in Wu and Zhou is only 40 to [-], and more than half of them are families of women and children.

Although it is true that Wu Zhou is a soldier of all the people, these family members do not have too strong combat effectiveness.

In addition to the Han population, the total number of Mongols, Qiangs, Uyghurs and other minorities that Wu Zhou coerced in the Western Regions was almost 40 million.

Adding the two together, the population is only 70 million.

And these 70 people

Although these prisoners of war and laborers of the third brother were very obedient and did not dare to resist, Wu Zhou could not trust them.

With only such a small population, they really don't need to take too much land.

Even if you take it down, you can't digest it.

The reason why the Manchu Qing was able to swallow the Central Plains back then was not only due to their own population, but their mutual integration with the Han and Mongols.

And after entering the customs, they colluded with the Han landlords and gentry.

But even so, the rule of the early Qing Dynasty was not stable.

Unless Wu Zhou also learned from the Qing Dynasty and stationed troops in some important cities, other places rely on collusion with local forces to rule.

Otherwise, the current Wu Zhou would not be able to control too much territory.

Not to mention, the current Wu Zhou has not had time to complete the collusion with the local forces in Tianzhu.

Even if this is done, Wu Zhou is not considered to have ample troops, but it is too scattered.

What you need to know is that Wu Zhou is still facing pressure from the Persian side on the northern front, so he can't disperse his troops.

Before digesting those third brother prisoners of war and training the third brother soldiers in the army, Wu Zhou is now unable to continue to expand.

As for whether those third elder brothers can be trained into an army...

Then no one will know!

Wu Yingxiong now admires Zhu Hongyu's strategic vision.

Da Mingzi's control over strategy is really amazing.

"My humble minister would like to be taught!"

Wu Yingxiong clasped his fists and said.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly.

"It's good that the Qing family understands!"

"Finding out what you need most is more important than anything else."

Wu Yingxiong quit the palace, and Zhu Hongyu ordered someone to send him away.

But Zhu Hongyu himself turned around and returned to the bedroom, to accompany Wu Yin and Wu Tu to have dinner together.

After the meal, Zhu Hongyu took Wu Tu to a fierce friendly match.

Wu Yin also wanted to join, but because she was still young, Zhu Hongyu sent her out to play.

……

The seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, the middle ten days of March.

After half a month of preparation, the peace talks between Wu Zhou and the Mughal Empire began.

The place for the peace talks between the two parties is located in a pavilion on the shore of Xuanwu Lake!

In addition to the officials sent by Ming to preside over the peace talks, there were also envoys sent by Britain, France, the Netherlands, and all the subordinate countries of Ming to watch.

On the peace negotiation table, the two sides exchanged negotiating requirements with a cold face.

Wu Yingxiong couldn't help frowning as he looked at the negotiating request handed over from the opposite side.

First of all, the Mughal Empire asked Wu Zhou to withdraw from the Ganges Plain and return the city of Lahore to them.

Secondly...

Second fart!

After Wu Yingxiong read the first article, he directly tore up the negotiation request handed over by the other party.

"If you are not negotiating in good faith, then continue to fight!"

Wu Yingxiong said angrily.

It's just that the face of the representative of the Mughal Empire on the opposite side is also very ugly.

Because they are not the only ones who are asking for sky-high prices.

Wu Yingxiong's first request was that the Mughal Empire should give up the city of Delhi and compensate Da Zhou for war losses.

"You can fight, but is my Mughal Empire afraid of you?"

"Aren't you afraid? Why are you hiding in the strong city and dare not come out to fight?"

"Hmph, if you want to fight, you can fight. Where did the nonsense come from!"

"..."

The difference between the conditions of the two parties is too great, and neither of them has any sincerity.

The envoys quarreled at the first word of disagreement, and if it wasn't for Daming's guards to suppress it, the first day's negotiating parties almost staged an all-out martial arts.

After fierce quarrels, the first day of peace talks finally ended in unhappiness.

The next day, peace talks continued.

After the quarrel on the first day, both sides made a small concession today, but compared with the other party's psychological bottom line, the gap is still huge.

Break up again!

In this way, the two sides talked back and forth for more than half a month, constantly arguing, see-sawing, arguing about one clause after another, and finally reached a preliminary consensus with difficulty.

The first is the division of territory between the two sides.

The spheres of influence of the two sides are divided by the town of Dula, which is [-] miles south of Lahore City. The north is the territory of Wu and Zhou, and the south is the territory of the Mughal Empire.

Then there is the issue of war reparations.

In order to allow Wu Zhou to make some concessions on the land and no longer be aggressive, the Mughal Empire insisted on the Ganges Plain, and even approached Delhi, so they had no choice but to make great concessions on the issue of compensation.

The first request for compensation is that the Mughal Empire should compensate Wu Zhou with 1000 million silver dollars and 50 gold coins.

Pay off in ten years!
In addition, the Mughal Empire had to compensate Wu Zhou for a population of 100 million.

Among them, there are 50 men and women each, and all of them must be young and strong.

The third point of the peace talks is the issue of the outlet to the sea that Wu Zhou wants.

The Mughal Empire withdrew its troops from Karachi, and Wu Zhou took over the city defense of Karachi.

What you need to know is that before this, the Mughal Empire had a large number of troops stationed in Karachi. Although Karachi was always just an enclave for the Mughal Empire, Wu Zhou focused his energy on On the battlefield of the Ganges Plain, Karachi was not able to win because of this.

Now Wu Zhou finally got the seaport he dreamed of.

Afterwards, there are some trivial matters.

For example, both sides are not allowed to station heavy troops on the border, and the two sides are about brotherly countries, etc...

Then, under the supervision of officials sent by Ming Dynasty, the two parties signed the armistice agreement together.

That's right, it's just an armistice, not a peace treaty.

It can be seen that both sides are just tired and need to take a breather.

Instead of really wanting peace talks!

Perhaps it won't be long before war breaks out again.

……

June of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty.

Midsummer fire!

It's another hot season of the year, and the summer in Nanjing is still hot and unbearable.

Even Zhu Hongyu, the emperor, would still be hot when it should be hot.

In order to escape the heat, Zhu Hongyu minimized going out, and spent most of his time in the imperial study dealing with government affairs.

But what made him happier was that there was good news from the New World.

The fleet headed for the New World returned again, and this time the fleet returned, bringing back a large amount of gold for Daming.

The total is almost 900 tons, converted into taels, that is more than [-] million taels.

If converted into silver, it would be more than 9000 million taels, almost equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the next year.

This is really a very exaggerated figure!

Even if this figure is the total amount of gold that Ming has accumulated over the years since the development of the New World, this figure is exaggerated and alarming enough.

What you need to know is that this is only the gold income attributable to the court, if you add the personal income of those gold diggers, and the corruption of the official system and other factors.

It is conservatively estimated that the amount of gold can double.

The gold transport ship from the New World can bring at least 2000 million taels of gold reserves to Daming in one round trip.

Simply terrifying!
For Zhu Hongyu, he actually doesn't care whether there is corruption in the gold mining process in the New World.

Because it doesn't matter if you are greedy.

If you are greedy, you always have to spend it, right?

But now is not the future, and it can still go abroad.

In this day and age, looking around the world, where can you spend money?

Isn't that Daming?
Even if the gold is corrupted, sooner or later it will flow back to Daming and become Daming's gold reserve, at most it will stay in the hands of some corrupt officials and gold diggers for a while.

And, more importantly, if there is no gold profit hanging in front of him, Zhu Hongyu will not be sure to stimulate the people of Ming Dynasty to immigrate to the New World.

Immigration can only be stimulated if everyone in the world can see the huge benefits of panning for gold in the New World.

However, the moment Zhu Hongyu saw this exaggerated number, he temporarily forgot about the immigration.

He was also somewhat bewitched by gold.

Even if he is the emperor, he can't support hundreds of tons of gold being thrown at him all at once.

This is just the New World, if you count the court's exploration and mining of gold mines in Australia...

Zhu Hongyu suddenly felt that the Ming Dynasty's court finances became looser all of a sudden.

Preparations for the Northern Expedition can begin.

The scale of local infrastructure projects should also be expanded.

Compulsory education can also continue to be expanded.

Sure enough, it is true that a man cannot be rich without a windfall, and a horse cannot be fat without night grass.

Zhu Hongyu quickly ordered his staff to refine the gold brought back from the New World, and then prepare to use it to mint coins to supplement finances.

The gold bricks brought back from the New World are all large gold bricks, and the purity is still uneven.

If it is to be used to mint coins, it must be purified.

Then come down and convene the cabinet and the five military governors' mansions to discuss how to spend the money.

Zhu Hongyu has always understood that money is called money only when it is spent, otherwise it is just a beautiful stone.

Without making Zhu Hongyu wait long, the officials from the Daming Cabinet and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies arrived quickly.

"I think everyone already knows about the return of the gold ship from the New World."

"With so much gold, the imperial court's finances will be much better at once."

When Zhu Hongyu was speaking, Bai Wanxi, Minister of Finance of Daming, was smiling all over his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were slightly raised.

Seeing so much gold in the account, he, the Minister of Finance, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and the pressure on his shoulders was not so great.

Since he took up the position of Minister of Finance, watching the emperor spend money recklessly, he has been under great pressure.

I'm afraid that there will be a large deficit in Ming's finances, and he, the Minister of Finance, will be dragged out and cut down to quell public grievances.

With so much gold in the account all of a sudden, Bai Wanxi instantly felt his waist no longer hurt, his legs no longer hurt, and his whole body became stiff.

He didn't believe it anymore, the imperial court accounted for so much at once, could the emperor spend it all in one go?

However, before the smile on Bai Wanxi's face could last long, he heard Zhu Hongyu continue.

"With so much fiscal surplus, the imperial court can't just hold it in its hands."

"You have to find a way to spend it!"

Hearing this, the smile on Bai Wanxi's face froze immediately.

He is really tired, my majesty, when you spend money, think about the old minister a little bit!
Zhu Hongyu continued.

"First of all, it's about the Northern Expedition!"

"I have been planning the Northern Expedition to the Grassland for a long time, but due to financial problems, it has not been launched."

"It's all right now, we have money, and it's time to prepare for the Northern Expedition!"

"The uncompetitive achievements of Taizu Chengzu back then, let me complete them."

"Order the five armies' governor's office to immediately prepare the relevant plans for the Northern Expedition. After the spring of next year, send troops to the Northern Expedition to wipe out the northern captives!"

Since ancient times, no matter whether it was the nomads going south to hunt the grasslands or the Central Plains dynasty going north to the grasslands, most troops were used after autumn.

For the Central Plains Dynasty, because of the abundant grain harvest after autumn, it was another slack season.

There is no shortage of military rations, and it is better to recruit the civilians needed by the army, so that the farming season will not be missed.

Best for sending troops.

The reason why the nomads mobilized troops in the autumn was entirely because the Central Plains Dynasty had just harvested and the grain was in the warehouse at that time, and they wanted to grab money and grain after they went south.

In addition, Qiu Gaoma is fat and good at mobilizing troops!
The reason why Zhu Hongyu did not follow the old practice, but set the time for the army to start after the beginning of spring, was because the weather was warmer after the beginning of spring, which could reduce the non-combat attrition of his own side.

And after the beginning of spring, it is also the time when the nomadic tribes on the grassland are at their weakest.

The war horses of the nomadic people lost weight after a winter, and their combat effectiveness was seriously damaged.

However, the war horses of the Central Plains Dynasty were mostly raised in captivity, rather than free-range like nomads. Even if the winter passed, they would not lose too much fat.

Combat power can still be maintained above the standard line.

It can be said that after the beginning of spring, it is the time when the strength gap between the two sides is the greatest.

If you don't fight at this time, when will you fight?

As for going to war in spring, it will delay the farming season, recruit peasants, and cause a large area of ​​land to be abandoned...

Such a thing is for the traditional Central Plains dynasty.

The current Ming army is not the guard soldiers who used to serve as soldiers and farmers, but all recruits, that is, full-time soldiers.

If you want to fight, you can send troops at any time, and you don't need to worry about whether the army will miss the farming season.

As for the rations needed by the army?
Spend money to buy slightly!

For Daming now, Wa, North Korea, and Southeast Asia are full of Ming's granaries, so they don't worry about food shortages at all.

As for the civilian husband, anyway, the imperial court did not intend to conscript corvee, but was planning to spend money to hire laborers to accompany the army.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about delaying the farming season and causing any trouble.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Hongyu is still rich.

He has money and can run a full-time army.

He has money and can spend money to solve the military ration problem.

He has money and can spend money to hire civilian husbands.

Naturally, troops can be sent at any time, and there is no need to worry about delaying the farming season.

Since there is no need to worry about the farming season, it will be most beneficial for the court to send troops in spring.

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion hurriedly responded.

Afterwards, Zhu Hongyu turned his head and said again.

"Except for the Northern Expedition, the imperial court should still have a large financial surplus."

"I am going to continue to increase investment in infrastructure construction, vigorously repair official roads, and replace the original dirt roads with cement roads."

"Then carry out large-scale repairs to the local water conservancy facilities!"

"Let the provinces below make statistics and report separately, and then the Ministry of Construction must do a good job in overall planning."

"Summary a report and submit it to me. After I finish the review, I will allocate funds as appropriate."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongyu turned his attention to Liu Tongwen, Minister of Education.

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Over the past few years, the compulsory education pilot project carried out by the imperial court in Nanjing has achieved remarkable results."

"For Daming, a large number of industrial workers with basic reading and writing skills and professional qualities have been trained. The emergence of these industrial workers has greatly stimulated the development of Daming's industry and commerce."

"In addition to this, it has also trained enough researchers for the imperial court's Daming Royal Research Institute."

"It provides enough talent reserves for the imperial court's imperial examination selection."

"The reason why the scale of compulsory education has not been expanded is that the financial pressure of the imperial court is too great to continue to invest."

"But isn't the imperial court rich now? Let's make preparations for the expansion of compulsory education."

"The first is to carry out policy promotion in provincial capitals and important cities, and the Ministry of Education must make corresponding preparations."

"Well, we must also be prepared to accept donations from all walks of life!"

"If someone has donated a certain amount of money for education, then set up a memorial arch for him in the local area and publicize it to encourage him."

The gentry of Ming Dynasty are indeed very generous, but when it comes to building bridges and paving roads in their hometown, and enthusiastically helping students, they can still afford money.

As for Zhu Hongyu, since they paid for it, he didn't mind giving them the honor and fame they wanted.

Zhu Hongyu doesn't mind doing something as beneficial as setting up a memorial archway.

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and then continued to give instructions.

"In addition, I plan to build a number of libraries in various places in Ming Dynasty."

"There are all kinds of books in the library, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and people in Ming Dynasty can borrow them at will, so as to improve the cultural rate of Ming Dynasty."

If a country wants to develop, it is not enough to have ordinary literate workers.

More talents with advanced knowledge are needed!
Before the imperial court is temporarily unable to spread compulsory education to the whole country, it may be a good means to open libraries in various places in Ming Dynasty to provide books and self-study opportunities for the people of Ming Dynasty who want to study by themselves.

It costs much less to set up a library than to run an education.

It's nothing more than building a house and putting some books in it.

For the current Daming, this is not a big investment.

Now that movable type printing has become the mainstream and papermaking is booming and changing with each passing day, the price of books has long been lowered, which is not as high as before.

Especially after the combination of steam engine and printing technology, the cost of printing is reduced, the speed is greatly increased, and the price of books is even lower.

Although the current Ming knowledge is still priceless, the price of books has reached a reasonable range.

Hearing Zhu Hongyu's words, Minister of Education Liu Tongwen said.

"The minister obeys the order!"

"We will start preparing and arranging relevant matters immediately."

Liu Tongwen couldn't help feeling a little emotional, despite the fact that the emperor looked very belligerent all day long, but he was also quite concerned about martial arts.

Throughout the ages, no emperor has ever been able to do what Zhu Hongyu did.

Zhu Hongyu made it clear that he wanted to make everyone in the world read and write, but he couldn't do it fakely.

If Zhu Hongyu could really accomplish this, Qin Huang and Han Wu would probably be far behind him in terms of achievements.

After Zhu Hongyu finished arranging the three things he had been thinking about, he was about to order his retreat.

The courtiers also bowed their fists to leave.

After Zhu Hongyu retired from the court, he arranged for the Propaganda Department to use the mouthpiece of "Daming Daily" to continue to promote the gold mines of the New World to all walks of life.

He even deliberately announced the imperial court's gold mining income in the New World.

And boldly create a few examples of gold digging fortunes to stimulate the nerves of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Actively prepare to promote non-government forces and participate in the process of developing the New World.

As time passed, just as the excitement of Da Ming because of the gold mines in the New World subsided a little.

The fleet that went south to the Australian mainland also returned.

And what they brought back was also a boatload of gold.

And high-quality iron ore!
People all over the world focused their attention on the gold mines in Australia, while Zhu Hongyu focused on the iron ore in Australia.

He knows how high the iron ore reserves in Australia are and how good the quality is.

And the ores over there are mostly shallow mines, so it is not difficult to develop them.

The only problem is that most of the ships in this era are sailing ships, and the speed of sailing is not too fast.

If you use sailing boats to pull ore, you may die at a loss.

However, if you invest directly in iron and steel making in Australia, you will not lose money if you directly transport the refined steel back to Daming.

But Zhu Hongyu is a little worried about technology leakage...

The steel-making and iron-making technology currently used by Daming far exceeds that of the whole world.

Of course, the more important reason is that Daming does not lack iron ore now.

Hebei, Shanxi, and Liaodong are full of large coal and iron mines, and it is not difficult to develop them.

It is still in the mainland of Daming.

Not to mention the grasslands to the north, and Siberia farther away.

There is also no shortage of coal and iron resources there. Is it necessary for Daming to take the risk of technology leaks to develop Australia's resources?
After pondering for a while, Zhu Hongyu dismissed the idea.

"Forget it, let's develop the gold mine first!"

Compared with iron ore, gold mine is obviously more attractive.

When the gold mine resources are exhausted in the future, it will not be too late to talk about the development of coal and iron mines.

By then, Ming Dynasty should have enough population to emigrate to Australia in order to actually control it.

At that time, there is no need to worry about technical leaks!

……

As the news of the gold mine continued to spread, when Da Ming's fleet headed for the New World set off again, the size of the fleet expanded a lot.

Not only the official fleet formed by the imperial court, but also many private fleets also set off together.

Many restless masters choose to leave their hometowns, and go to the New World with the fleet to fight for a fortune!
During this process, the imperial court also changed the garrisons stationed in the New World and along the route to the New World.

One is to let the soldiers go home to visit relatives, and the other is to avoid a place where an army is stationed for a long time, forming a trend that cannot be lost.

……

The seventh year of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, 1673 in the Western calendar, September.

Mexico, New Spain Governor's Palace.

Governor Pizarro is worrying about this year's financial report.

Since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Spain's round-the-world routes have been directly cut in half.

I dare not say that the entire Pacific Ocean, at least within the sphere of influence of Ming Dynasty, is considered to be a dead end for the Spaniards.

Without the income from trade between the East and the West, the Spaniards rely on a new continent, and their annual fiscal revenue is constantly declining.

Falling down!

Back then when their round-the-world routes were still available, the Spaniards searched for gold and silver from the New World, transported the gold and silver to the east, went to Daming to buy luxury goods such as silk and porcelain, and then shipped the oriental luxury goods back to Europe for sale.

It can be said to be a lot of money!
At least ten times the profit in one hand!
However, the most important part of the Spaniard's global trade is missing now, which is the purchase of luxury goods from Daming.

Nine-tenths of their income from East-West trade was cut off.

The share they vacated was divided among countries such as Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal.

The governor Pizarro is under great pressure for this.

Every year the king's accountability makes him feel extremely headache.

Fuck Fake!

Just damn it.

But how can you blame him?
Why did Ming Dynasty refuse to trade with the Spaniards?

Why is there no room for negotiation as long as there are Spanish galleons appearing in the waters of Ming Dynasty, they are sunk when they are found?

To blame can only be blamed on the previous governors of Manila, Tu Hua.

If it wasn't for Tu Hua, Daming wouldn't be staring at the Spaniards.

Spain's fiscal revenue will not decrease sharply every year!

Due to the loss of trade between the East and the West, the current Viceroyalty of New Spain basically survived on the meager income from the New World.

The fat job of the governor of New Spain has also become a chore.

Although he can still make money, he has to accept the king's accountability from time to time, which is really a headache.

Picking up a thick cigar and taking a puff, Pizarro's entire face was looming in the smoke.

The color of sadness is very obvious.

Just then, his offices were rang.

A major officer of the garrison of the Governor General of New Spain stood outside the door, waiting to be received.

And in his hands, he held several refined iron spearheads, long knives with steel muzzles, and a musket.

Pizarro put down the financial report in his hand, straightened his neckline, and said.

"Come in!"

With a creak, the door was opened.

A puff of smoke rolled over the face, Rosen subconsciously held his breath, then strode into the room, came to Pizarro and spoke.

Pizarro raised his head and saw that Rosen was coming, and asked.

"Major Rosen, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Rosen put the things in his hand on the table in front of Pizarro, and said.

"Mr. Pizarro, look at these!"

Upon hearing this, Pizarro put the cigar in his hand on the edge of the ashtray, and then reached out to pick up the spearhead, long knife and musket brought by Rosen.

Pizarro picked up the spearhead to observe, then picked up the long knife to gesture, and finally the musket.

He checked the barrel and action and found nothing wrong.

Not only did they find no problems, but the quality of these weapons was also very good, especially this musket, which turned out to be flintlock.

What you need to know is that most of the muskets used by the Spaniards are just matchlock guns.

They can indeed produce flintlock guns, but the efficiency is not high, the quality is not very good, and they cannot be installed on a large scale.

Britain, France and other countries can also purchase arms from Ming Dynasty to install flintlock guns, but Spain has nowhere to buy because it was kicked out of the trade circle of East-West trade.

Looking at the weapons in his hands, Pizarro raised his head and said in confusion.

"The quality of these weapons is very good, no problem!"

He thought that Rosen came to him with a weapon because the quality of the weapon was faulty, and he wanted him to help replace it or hold him accountable.

Only, after observing, Pizarro was confused.

The quality of these weapons is not only good, but very good.

Then why did Rosen come to him?
When Rosen heard this, the expression on his face became more serious.

"The quality of these weapons is indeed fine, but the problem is that these are not our weapons."

"These weapons were seized by our boys from a group of native Indians who attacked our estate."

"Several brave lads died fighting to capture these weapons."

When Pizarro heard this, the expression on his face froze.

He knows, trouble!
The reason why the Spaniards were able to conquer the Indians in Central America and South America relied on advanced weapons other than smallpox.

If the Indians can also get the same weapons as them, the Spaniards may not necessarily be able to take advantage of the bravery of the Indian soldiers.

Pizarro couldn't help but fell into contemplation, where did the Indians get these weapons.

Is it because some of the Spaniards sold weapons to the Indians, or something happened in the New World...

Pizarro thought about these things, and his mood was quite complicated.

In front of him, Rosen also had a pensive look on his face.

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant and a little scary.

After a long time, Pizarro finally spoke.

"Send someone to investigate, what is going on!"

"Find out the source of these weapons, the governor doesn't want a situation in New Spain that I can't grasp..."

Rosen nodded and said.

"Don't worry, your Excellency, I will handle things beautifully!"

……

There is no doubt that the source of weapons for these Indians is indeed Ming Dynasty.

The Indians used their livestock, or precious metals such as gold and silver, and even sold labor or women to Ming's camp in San Francisco in exchange for a large number of weapons.

There are cold weapons such as swords and spears, armor, bows and arrows, and naturally there will be some firearms.

There are even a few Indian tribes who spent a lot of money to buy a few small-caliber field artillery that can be pulled around by horses from the Ming camp.

But the facts proved that Zhu Hongyu had miscalculated.

After those Indians obtained Ming's arms, so that the Indian tribes lost their balance of force, some people did attack and kill each other immediately.

But more people went all the way south with the advanced weapons they got from Daming, and went to trouble the Spaniards.

how to say.

The contradiction between the Spaniards and the Indians is not just the contradiction between the invader and the invaded.

In addition, there are contradictions between nomads and farming peoples.

After the demise of the Aztec Kingdom, most of the Indians' living conditions became nomadic, fishing and hunting.

They lost a steady source of food supply.

In order to maintain their lives, they can only attack the manors established by the Spaniards.

And although they also have mutual hatred among themselves, it can be regarded as the introversion of their own people at most.

In the state of nomadic animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, their survival resources are limited. In order to survive, they can only snatch each other's limited survival resources, and they can only attack each other.

Who told them they couldn't beat the Spaniards?

When they couldn't beat the Spaniards outside, rolling in was the choice they had to make.

However, now that they had the arms from Ming Dynasty and the assurance of revenge against the Spaniards, these people once again remembered the blood feud between themselves and the Spaniards.

Involution?

Roll a fart!
Brothers, copy guys, let's go south to kill Hongmao side by side!
And that's it!

A large number of Indians went all the way south and began to harass the manors that attacked the Spaniards.
