Chapter 1077 Soothe the Heart
After rewarding the three armies, the officers, soldiers and common people of the Ming Dynasty in Chang'an City can be said to be extremely excited.

Afterwards, Zhu Hao brought some troops back to the new city. The journey was more than 300 miles, and along the way back, there were many indigenous settlements along the river bank. These people were all under the protection of Ming Dynasty in name, but not every tribe He had already handed in his "membership money", and upon hearing that the army was triumphant, many tribal leaders spontaneously came to court and paid "taxes" to Zhu Hao.

They thought that the tax collected by Ming Dynasty was the same as that of the European colonists, which was the kind of gold and silver that was only for decoration, but they didn't know that Zhu Hao was also interested in their young and middle-aged labor force, so he recruited half of the young people from each tribe Zhuang followed him back to the new town, and asked them about the distribution of the surrounding mineral deposits.

The languages ​​of these tribes are very confusing. Zhu Hao found many people to translate each other, and the languages ​​of some tribes are still difficult to understand.

These tribes were accepted by Zhu Hao and enjoyed the asylum of Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Hao didn't plan to leave too many soldiers along the way, but just used the original native city to set up an "observation station", and a hundred Ming soldiers stationed there, equipped with artillery With the new muskets, [-] young natives brought from the coast were left behind to cooperate with the defense, and they were trained by the Ming army by the way.

Then Zhu Hao led the people back to Xincheng.

……

……

As the lord of the new city, Lou Suzhen has completed the initial construction of the city, built bastions in several directions, and has a relatively complete defense system. The docks and shipyards by the sea have begun to operate.

Although the mineral reserves have not been well replenished at present, the wood can be said to be in a steady stream. It is a breeze to build ships here. This time Zhu Hao brought very mature shipbuilders from Daming. They will use ready-made crafts to build ships. , This is also to prepare for the southern conquest of the Inca Empire.

"Pass down the order and reward the three armies!"

The first thing Zhu Hao did when he returned to the new city was to imitate Chang'an City and give money to the soldiers and common people who were dissatisfied.

"Yes."

Although Lou Suzhen is the lord of the city, Zhu Hao is more like a king, or the emperor of this territory.

Then Zhu Hao and Lou Suzhen entered the City Lord's Mansion.

During Zhu Hao’s absence, civil construction in the city is progressing rapidly. The craftsmen of Ming Dynasty can’t do anything else. In terms of infrastructure, it can be said that they have the most advanced technology and the most solid work in this era. The land here does not require money, so Zhu Hao directly assigns tasks , construction sites can be seen everywhere in the city.

Daming craftsmen are not enough after all.

At this time, young and middle-aged natives, even women and children, will be called in as helpers, but their skills... are indeed lackluster. Of course, it does not mean that they have never built houses. In Central America, even some complex wonders can be built. Build it, let alone a house.

It can be said that the natives of Central America have a strong architectural talent, but they don't know how to use it.

"Young master, silver is still used as currency in the city today, but those aborigines seem to have learned to be smart, and began to hide silver intentionally or unintentionally, and only take it out when they need it, and exchange it with us for what they need. Our people Because I am not used to the currency value here, I am always cheated by them, and sometimes there will be some conflicts."

After Lou Suzhen came to Xincheng from the bridgehead where she landed, she found that it was not easy to be the lord of the city.

The reason is that the American continent is almost full of silver.

Because the aborigines can take out silver at any time, the price of goods has skyrocketed. Although the Ming soldiers and common people know that bringing silver back to Daming can be exchanged for several times more commodities, but in the American continent, silver cannot be called currency at all. Taking advantage of the values ​​that the Ming people have not yet replaced, they have exchanged for in-demand goods such as cloth and ceramic utensils.

Zhu Haodao: "When we come back this time, we will establish a brand new currency system, using gold as an equivalent exchange. In addition, we will print banknotes. These banknotes are only circulated in the American continent. Papermaking and printing are only done by us. Yes, those aborigines don't have such strength. There is also the need to prevent military looting, I see that the atmosphere in the military is very bad now."

Originally under Zhu Hao's strict control, it was rare for the Ming army to "disturb the people".

But then when the soldiers found out that these uncivilized natives were simply low-spirited, if they didn't "harass" them, they would feel uncomfortable and try to make trouble for others, such as urinating everywhere, or stealing materials from the construction site, This leads to a lot of things that are not easy to clean up.

Lou Suzhen looked at Zhu Hao with a smile: "Only when the son is here, can those soldiers be suppressed. Now there are many people who want to go back to Daming, how to appease them...is not easy!"

……

……

Zhu Hao knew exactly where the contradictions he was facing now were.

There are too few women, and there are very few people who can bring their families from Daming, let alone their wives and children.

The preparations for going to sea this time are still a bit rushed. If he is given another three to five years and the emperor can fully delegate power to him, he will be able to migrate more vital forces based on the family unit, but now the army is thinking about it. There is no way for him to operate overseas for four to five years or even longer.

Fortunately, the feudal dynasty has one good thing, that is, men can take concubines outside.

After getting along with the Ming people, the aboriginal women have a good impression of the men of the Ming Dynasty. After all, they have the same skin color and many behaviors and habits. It seems that these aboriginals have a Chinese breath in their bones, and the two must have been of the same race in a certain era.

How to make these Ming men start a family and find a sense of belonging overseas, which is a new problem for Zhu Hao.

After distributing money, these people can only live in peace for a while. If you want them to live in peace for a long time, you still have to start a family overseas and see a bright future.

It's like recruiting a group of people to do business, and it's just to send money. The money can't be spent overseas, and the blow to the employees will be very big. something ahead of time...

Attack the Incan Empire early.

When the Ming people learned that they could control a country with a population of tens of millions, and that each of them could confiscate the population and land of thousands of people and let them manage it, then they would gradually adapt to life overseas... At that time, they would Dilemma, if they return to Daming, they are still ordinary soldiers or civilians, but if they stay overseas, they are lords.

Going a step further, Zhu Hao will find a way to paint cakes for them, telling them that there are more countries and populations waiting to be conquered in the New World, and he can also help them take over their parents, wives and children who stayed in Daming...

In terms of painting cakes for others, Zhu Hao feels that in this era, if he calls himself the second child, no one dares to call him the boss.

After all, that's how Zhu Si was brought out by him.

……

……

In preparation for going south to conquer the Inca Empire, Zhu Hao actually didn't have much to prepare for.

Sending dozens of large ships at will, a team of thousands of people, can basically wipe out the Inca Empire... But he knows very well that the Spaniards in history were able to successfully destroy the Inca Empire with more than 100 people, except for weapons In addition to the generational difference, the bigger reason is because the Inca Empire feared the gods.

They took the Europeans for gods.

There is another reason that cannot be ignored, that is, the Inca Empire was in a civil war at that time.

Now that Zhu Hao is leading his troops there, it is likely to complete a head-to-head battle. Although this kind of "hardness" is a bit nonsense, after a few shots, it is estimated that no matter how powerful the army of the Inca Empire is, it will quickly grow its own stone. Spears and slingshots were lost and fled.

Still want to fight head-on?

Who gave them the courage?
What Zhu Hao has to do is to attack their capital directly, and follow the Spaniard's method...before the soldiers.

Enter the enemy's hinterland first, let the people of the Inca Empire relax their vigilance, capture the thief first, capture the king, and then slowly clean them up.

Zhu Hao planned to ask Lu Bing and Guan Dezhao to help him complete the plan to attack the Indian-Canadian Empire, and Lu Song was more in charge of logistics support.

Zhu Hao did not plan to take Lu Bing as a hostage to control Lu Song.

Although Lu Bing would go out with him, he didn't stay in the field and would come back every time.

When Lu Song heard that Zhu Hao was going to lead troops south to attack a country, he asked curiously: "Sir, can I ask, is that... a small overseas country? How many people do they have?"

"Uncountable population. There are several million." Zhu Hao said.

Lu Song was speechless: "Can we take it down?"

Lu Bing was very confident at the side: "Father, I have seen it for a long time. There are no people who know how to use weapons in this place. They are all a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. They can trample dozens of them to death with one foot. I really don't understand that. Why hasn't the original place been discovered?"

After all, it was the second time for Lu Bing to visit the American continent, and he knew the situation in the New World very well.

In his opinion, the natives here did not pose even the slightest threat to him and the army he accompanied.

Lu Song said: "Don't take it lightly, after all, there are millions of enemies..."

"Then how many people come and die?" Lu Bing was not afraid.

Zhu Hao sighed: "Lu Bing, listen to your father more, he is right. Our problem is that we have too few people. Even if we conquer them, it will not be easy for them to obediently become our subjects. They will still resist, take advantage of our unpreparedness, and engage in some sneak attacks... It is easy to take down their country, but it is not easy to govern."

"Oh."

Lu Bing nodded.

Guan Dezhao asked from the side, "When are we leaving?"

Zhu Hao said: "We still have to prepare for a month. Within this month, we will use our existing resources to create enough firearms. We must also fully guarantee the weapons. No matter how good the iron is, we need to accumulate a certain amount. … After all, knives are easy to curl.”

It probably means that as long as you enter the Inca Empire and fight with the soldiers of the Inca Empire, it is basically a person wearing thick armor and chopping back and forth.

If a knife is broken, another one is needed to make up.

Of course firearms are also important...

Zhu Hao made preparations like this, not only to support long-distance combat, but also to support cavalry charges, and also to prepare for close-range hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat is the most difficult. After all, the number of Ming officials is too small, and it is still necessary to prevent a group of soldiers from the Inca Empire A swarm situation.

Only weapons tough enough can fight your way through and gain control of the Inca Empire.
