Daming 1805

Chapter 331 A Historic Moment on the Mozhou Continent!
On the 1808th day of mid-September in the third year of Ankang in the Ming Dynasty, November 11rd, 3 in the Western calendar.

The rainy season in the Great Plains of Zhongmozhou has finally ended, and the possibility of daily rain has dropped to less than [-]%.

Lucia's little nobleman, Mikhail Ivanov, led two topographic surveyors, several Lucia subordinates, and dozens of Mexican slaves, and turned the direction of progress and exploration.

From the northern wilderness, which is closer to the desert, to the relatively humid area in the southeast.

This place is almost at the junction of Sudan, Chad, and Central Africa in later generations.

Ivanov knew that a wet place is a good place, but the rainy season in the savannah is not a good time to travel.

But Emperor Lucia, and Lucia's explorers and pioneers, including Ivanov, didn't want to waste a rainy season waiting.

For the Mexican colony assigned to Lucia by the League of Nations, the inland border has not been drawn, and the eastern border has not been drawn.

In other words, as much as you can explore and control inland, you can own as much as you can.

The premise is that it cannot exceed the sphere of influence of Daming, which is the straight line drawn by Zhu Jingyuan that runs through the north and south of Mozhou.

Hei Jizhong is smart and brave in battle, and he also has the identity of the Black Baron.

There is no way to express clearly the range of people he saw.

Dozens of Mo slaves walked around, responsible for detecting the situation ahead and guarding the surrounding situation.

According to the statistics of the Ming people, the castrated Mo people are smarter and better able to work than ordinary Mo people.

The cavalry under Hei Zhongcheng was quickly summoned and led by more senior Hei officers to explore the west.

Because this group of people is Daming's Mo Nu Legion.

What appeared in Andre's sight was a gaudy crowd of people all over the mountains and plains.

There was nowhere to hide on the prairie, and the loyal black cavalry found Ivanov, and Ivanov spotted the black cavalry.

Lucia's native land is a place with relatively little sun exposure, which makes Lucia's skin extremely pale.

Hei Jizhong clenched his fist and hammered his chest:
"As ordered!"

Their highest goal in combat is to capture slaves, and when they meet young and middle-aged men, they will naturally want to capture them.

Now half of the first five-year cycle has passed.

But Lucia still instinctively wants to eat up all these lands before she can feel at ease.

After falling asleep, the Mo people in front suddenly became confused.

The one who led the [-] Mo people here was Chief Heiqi, who was in charge of pathfinding and reconnaissance.

Ivanov's expression became serious:
"If the tribe has more than 200 people, it should be difficult for us to defeat them head-on...

The border between Egypt and Libya is slightly seventy or eighty kilometers to the west.

At the very least, confirm the exploration progress of both parties, and then agree on a temporary exploration boundary and rules...

A few Mo people who were in charge of exploring the road ran back to the middle of the team.

In particular, the League of Nations stipulates that if the local population cannot be controlled, it is not regarded as occupying the local land.

In fact, Andre thought too much, the other party would not kill him at all.

Only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled will be executed at any time.

Ivanov quickly made a plan, and asked the translator Andre to escort ten Mexican slaves to try to contact the tribe.

The default surname of the black nobles is Hei, so his official registration status in Daming and Dashi Kingdom is Hei Zhongcheng.

Hei Zhongzhong looked at Andre and tried to ask for some information:
"Where did you come from? How many people did your Master Lucia bring? How far is the distance?"

"Father, the guns these slaves carry are not particularly worn out, and the rifling is still there, so they shouldn't be wild tribes.

Andre had no choice but to obediently follow the other party.

After running around on the grassland for two years, the three of Ivanov's faces were as tanned as the Yin people in the tropics...

If it is a tribe that is relatively close, the language between each other can barely be understood.

Knowing that going west from here, to the other side of the mainland, is the land of the Lucians and the Prussians.

Suddenly several gunshots were fired around, all hitting the high ground where Andre was, and a few wisps of green smoke slowly rose.

It’s not about putting up a sign and it’s over. You have to colonize, garrison, and control the local natives.

This year, we must completely control the west of the 91st parallel, and then carry out two years of reclamation, and try to pass the inspection after two and a half years.

In a colony, land is an indeterminate wealth, and population a definite one.

"But our mission is to explore, not directly conquer.

"The people of Ming Dynasty may have explored around here!"

A few minutes later, more than 30 Mo people ran around the interpreter.

The ten people on my side couldn't even run if they wanted to, let alone fighting.

"He said that he encountered a tribe ahead, a tribe with a very large number of people, at least more than a hundred people."

After joining the Mo Nu Legion, he was officially named "Loyalty" when he was successfully promoted to the Black Nobility.

Ivanov felt rather heavy, and at the same time decided to stay here, waiting to get in touch with the Ming people.

The task of the three of Ivanov was to explore and map, not to develop somewhere, so they did not bring their families.

Andre also knew that it was Daming's elegant words.

"After the discovery, let three people come back to report, and the others will restrain the opponent's actions, and wait for the main force of the infantry to pass."

Then after walking a few kilometers, Andre vaguely heard a sound ahead, as if a large-scale animal migration.

"That's more than 100 fucking people! Not just one hundred! Maybe there will be a hundred fucking hundred people!"

After walking on the grassland for a long time, the spirit is a little weak and boring.

But apart from the East Mozhou Canyon area, no one cared about their image.

The leader was wearing a black military uniform, and the others were wearing colorful clothes.

It takes population to turn land into wealth.

The servants of the surrounding Lucians were also dressed in the same way, clustering around the three of Ivanov.

The number of the other party may be one hundred or one hundred, and there are also a large number of horses among them.

Without waiting for Hei Zhongcheng to ask questions, Andre shouted directly there, the only few words he could say in the Ming Dynasty:

These ink cavalry should only be subordinates of the pioneers of Ming Dynasty.

Andre immediately continued to explore the Moren, and the Moren who explored the way yelled even more exaggeratedly.

This is obviously a warning, indicating that the other party's spies have discovered Andre, telling Andre not to act rashly, otherwise he will directly beat someone later.

Andre couldn't understand Da Ming's elegant words, but his master Ivanov, as well as other Lucia nobles he had met, would occasionally come up with a few Da Ming's elegant words.

Even if he can't understand at all, Andre, as a translator, is better at understanding different people's words than ordinary people.

Andre tried to talk to the Mexicans, but no matter whether he was using his own native language or Lucia, the other party looked blank after hearing it, obviously not understanding at all.

At the meeting, the eastern border of the colonies of Lucia and other countries was not clarified, and at the same time, Ming was not prohibited from pioneering in these areas.

It is basically impossible for an ordinary Mo tribe to have cavalry, let alone a team of well-coordinated cavalry...

This meeting should go down in history.

This Andre was trained by the local Mo people. The Central Mozhou area is a grassland, and the migration of tribes is very convenient.

Andrei didn't come back, but a Moman on a horse appeared instead, and Ivanov knew something bad was going on in his heart.

Ivanov and two craftsmen, both wearing loose undershirts and huge wide-brimmed straw hats, rode horses on the prairie.

Since Hei Zhongzhong was born in Ming Dynasty, he is a castrated black eunuch who adopted a group of godsons in Dongmozhou.

Hei Zhongzhong shook his head, and ordered directly to his godson:
"The order was passed on, and one-third of the cavalry was sent out to search westward in a fan shape, looking for traces of the Lucians.

Centering on a group of black dots, they are slowly moving in a scattered but consistent direction.

Now he is wearing a Ming-style Yisa Brocade Clothes, but the coat is not matched with the middle coat and trousers, and the coat is directly put on the body.

I sighed in my heart, fortunately this group of people didn't kill people directly, but I was also worried whether they would be killed after being captured.

For newly captured slaves, the master must confirm the number and decide who will manage them.

Andre subconsciously wanted to run back to report, but quickly lost this opportunity.

"We can try to communicate with them, figure out their reality, and then send more troops over."

As a result, after only one glance, a series of swearing broke out in Lucian language mixed with the natives:

Ivanov's team is not far from here, and the black loyal army is also moving slowly.

Ivanov even began to doze off on horseback, imagining that his yellow-faced woman was gone and he would marry a married woman and go home.

Therefore, my translator and my subordinates have to learn a few words of Ming Dynasty, and the most important thing is to show their identity.

The distance between the two sides was only a few kilometers, and the loyal black cavalry quickly discovered Ivanov.

"I am... Lucia... a slave..."

It may feel like a modern person wearing a windbreaker naked.

Andre stood still in place resolutely, and ordered the Mexican slaves beside him not to move.

Hei Zhongzhong also knew his mission, which was to occupy more land west of the border of Ming Dynasty before the arrival of the Lucians.

Hei Zhongcheng immediately understood what the two said.

The current 91 degrees west longitude is about 24 degrees and 40 seconds east longitude in Jingyuan's previous life.

Andre immediately found two slightly higher places to climb up, and took out the binoculars he carried with him to observe.

Ivanov immediately came to the spirit:
"More than 100 people? How much more? Do we have a chance to defeat them directly?"

This group of people saw the ten young and middle-aged Mo people headed by Andre, without saying a word, they took out the ropes they carried with them and tied them, and then tied them with the ropes and led them back to the main force.

Now Andre finally understands the identities of the Mo people headed by Hei Zhongcheng.

His most favored son was specially named Hei Jizhong by him, and he seemed to have the air of a prince.

Hei Zhongcheng knew that Lucia was particularly obsessed with the land.

Andre himself has also learned a few words of Ming Dynasty.

Then Andre knelt down directly.

After Ivanov was awakened, he asked a little annoyed loudly:
"What are you doing? Why are you so panicked!"

However, Daming himself had too much land east of the 91-degree line, so he probably had no chance to open up wasteland here.

Andre's math is not very good, but it is much better than the ordinary pathfinder slaves before, the key is that he is much smarter.

"They may be the ink slaves of Ming Dynasty!"

The Mo people who explored the way waved their hands exaggeratedly, and explained the situation to Andre, the Mo people translator who had learned Lucia.

"Possibly ... he said, maybe even more than two hundred people, he can't count that large number."

Andre couldn't understand at all, so he could only shake his head over there:
"I don't understand, I don't understand, I, Lucia's slave."

Hei Jizhong checked the disarmed guns on Andre and others, and then took Andre in to meet his godfather:

Born in Yingtianfu, a native of Ming Dynasty, he didn't have his own name, only a serial number of [-].

What's more, the League of Nations also stipulates that every five years, the governing ability of each country will be checked.

"The era of Lucia's freedom to open up territories is coming to an end..."

Hei Zhongzhong also knew more information.

The prime meridian of this world, that is, the zero-degree meridian, is on the central line of Fengtian Temple in the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

Andre has not counted ten thousand, but he has been able to imagine the concept of one hundred and one hundred people.

It wasn't the first time Andre took on this kind of job, and he didn't think too much about it. He took ten people with him and went with guns on his shoulders.

The climate on the tropical plateau is not particularly hot, with a maximum temperature of 28 degrees, but the sun is particularly strong in the dry season.

Andre was next to him, and when Hei Jizhong said a long section of Daming's elegant words with a heavy accent, he suddenly felt a little familiar.

Heiqi always took Andre and ten Mo people to find his master.

The owner of this huge Mexican tribe is a black noble with the status of a black duke.

Ivanov wanted to run subconsciously, but soon realized that he couldn't.

The Mo people's translator Andre conveyed the situation to Ivanov and two surveying and mapping craftsmen:

That line is the meridian at 91 degrees west longitude.

"Oops, Andre may have been arrested..."

Therefore, an important goal of acquiring a colony is to control the local indigenous population as much as possible.

The natural thinking of the Lucians is to quickly occupy all the land west of this line.

The Mo people who can become the Black Duke are the real elites among the Mo people.

"The writing on their guns seems to belong to Lucia, so the child suspects that they are Lucia's spies."

After they discover themselves, they should send someone to meet them, or invite them to meet them.

Andrei came back again after listening to Ivanov and said:
"He said he couldn't beat it, and he definitely couldn't beat it. The opponent had more than 100 people, and the number was very high.

Because people from Lucia like Ivanov knew that if they went east from New Lucia, they would meet people from Ming Dynasty sooner or later.

The Ink slaves who explored the road were obviously very bad at mathematics, and could only count up to a hundred.

Especially after the root of descendants is gone, Hei Zhong's energy is supplied to his brain and body.

The Lucian people from west to east and the Ming people from east to west joined forces in the middle of Mozhou.

This shows that the Lucians and Daming have jointly opened up the passage in the middle of the Mozhou continent!

When Ivanov thought of this, his mood began to surge.

Until the ink people all over the mountains and plains surged...
