Chapter 1092 Land Transportation

Zhu Hao found that the surrounding trees had been cut down, and a large plantation had been opened up around the city, and the natives were working hard in the plantation.

European colonists have begun to open the plantation model in the northern part of South America, while the unlucky natives have been reduced to free labor and driven by others at will. Enjoy the treatment of a big landlord, and the garrison in a city may only look like one or two hundred people, but it can manage a territory or even a small country.

The Aztecs brought by Zhu Hao saw this scene, their eyes were full of hatred.

They also work for the "colonists" and serve Daming. Except for the necessary trust, there are basically no major changes in family and life. They are nothing more than traveling with Zhu Hao and living a normal life after returning.

But these former compatriots have suffered, and are now being enslaved.

Most of the slaves in the plantation were Aztecs who migrated from the northern Mesoamerican region by European colonists. No one knows how many died and how many survived during the period.

"Let's attack the city."

Zhu Hao gave the order.

Immediately, the Aztecs acted as the vanguard and helped the Ming gunners push the artillery to the front of the city gate.

On the city wall less than three meters away, a few European soldiers were lazily lying in a place out of the sunlight. Suddenly the earth shook violently. They were a little surprised and couldn't help poking their heads out. They saw a mass of people walking away Suddenly, their eyes widened... They couldn't figure out where the group of people in front of them came from.

In the eyes of European soldiers, the natives did not have the guts to fight them head-on, as if they could wipe out the entire native army with a few people, because the natives didn't even have the most basic iron weapons, and only a few bronze weapons Only the nobles have it, and they can't cut through their armor at all, let alone ordinary stone weapons, or those sharpened wooden sticks.

From a distance, they couldn't see clearly what the group of dark people were pushing over, so they didn't warn the people in the city.

They are two or three miles away, and they don't feel that there will be a substantial threat to them.

But when the cannon sounded and the shells exploded around them, these European soldiers realized what death was like.

……

……

An unsuspecting massacre ended with the defeat of the European colonists.

In this city, or small town, the Europeans lived so scattered that at the end of the war, although Zhu Hao sent cavalry to pursue, some escaped.

But those aborigines who worked in the fields did not take the opportunity to escape. They were surprised to find that the people who came to rescue them this time were actually people with the same accent as them. The slave workers thought that they could only be mermaids from now on, but they didn't expect that their clansmen would be protected by the "God" and drive away the once mighty white people.

"Many of them said they wanted to come and thank you."

Ada, as a representative of the Aztecs, came to express his gratitude for the tribe.

But Zhu Hao knows that Ada is not considered an orthodox Aztec, at most he is half. In front of the once powerful Aztec Empire, he is not even a fart from a tribe like him located on the edge of the empire. Now But he has become the savior of a country and even a nation.

Others paid great respect to Ah Da, who knew the language of Ming Dynasty and was trusted by the officials of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Hao said: "Tell them, I can't stay here to protect them for a long time. They either choose to go with me, or inherit the land and continue to live here. But whether the white people will continue to invade them or not depends entirely on themselves. of good fortune."

Zhu Hao's purpose this time is to open up a road leading from the land to the north. Even if he wants to expand his territory in the northern part of South America in the future, it is impossible for him to lead the troops himself, but to rely on the guards he brought from Daming Soldiers or militia, or even native soldiers trained by themselves.

In the future, a few groups of troops will be assigned. There will be two to three hundred cavalry and four to five hundred infantry along the group. Together with the native soldiers of ten thousand people, equipped with artillery, muskets and other firearms, supplemented by bows, swords and other cold weapons, I am afraid that they will be invincible .

Send out about four or five such teams and assign them tasks. In about two to three years, parts of North America, plus Central America and northern South America, can be completely conquered.

At the end of the war, Zhu Hao made temporary adjustments in the small town.

Mainly, he had to listen to the situation of the captured local aborigines and European colonists. He needed to know where the surrounding enemies were now, so as to determine whether it was necessary to leave a team of troops to guard.

The so-called keeping soldiers on guard is just to leave some indigenous soldiers, and the main force will continue to go north. However, it is impossible to give them advanced firearms if they stay behind. They can only be given some cold weapons, including some bows and crossbows. Not enough to fend off a comeback by European colonists.

Most of the Aztecs who lost their homes in the end chose to stay. For them, there was nowhere to go.

There are already formed manors here. After several years or even more than ten years of planting crops, they have adapted to their current life, but many of them plant cash crops such as cotton and tobacco leaves. If no one buys them, they cannot exchange for necessary survival supplies.

"It's really nice here."

Sun Lan, who went out with Zhu Hao, was riding on a tall horse, as if visiting her own territory with her husband, her face was full of excitement.

Since arriving in the New World, the women around Zhu Hao began to adapt to this kind of life without a fixed place. Fortunately, they all have personality and have the independence that women in this era rarely have. This is also the standard for Zhu Hao to choose his wife. If they are just He wouldn't like that kind of ordinary Xiaojiabiyu, or a lady from a big family who didn't leave home.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "If the world is peaceful, you and I will come here, build a city, and come out to enjoy the rural scenery when you have nothing to do. It's also very good."

Sun Lan thought about it, but shook her head.

She knew very well in her heart that her husband's ideal was not to live such an idyllic life. What Zhu Hao pursued was to conquer, and to conquer again. Once he calmed down, he would not be able to control a huge empire.

……

……

After a brief rest, the army continued northward.

This time, with the European captives as guides, it was much more convenient and quicker.

According to the guidance of the guide, the army marched towards the colonial towns established by Europeans in the north. These small towns will one day develop into cities and become the political, economic and cultural centers of South America. The religion of the South America was brought here, and the natives of South America followed their beliefs.

But Zhu Hao would not let this happen.

Zhu Hao led his troops to the north, fought all the way to Panama, and captured more than a dozen cities along the way. Every time, almost without bloodshed, he successfully captured thousands of horses, and captured two or three hundred Europeans. Confused, I don't know why I suddenly changed from a high-ranking colonist to a captive.

The script was not performed as they imagined. They thought that when they came to the New World, they would be able to live the carefree life of upper-class people with guns as their support.

When Zhu Hao's men arrived in Panama City again, they found that it was still a mess.

The European colonists had no intention of rebuilding the city in situ, and now they even gave up their plan to manage the west coast of the mainland.The European colonists already knew that the visitors were troops from an ancient oriental civilization, but they didn't understand why Ming's army had such advanced weapons.

After they knew that Ming Dynasty had established a large city on the west coast of the Inca Empire, started a new round of colonization, and even started a territorial war, what they thought of was... to pack up their belongings, retreat to a corner, and on the basis of ensuring existing interests, follow the The Ming army fought to the end.

They don't think that Da Ming has the strength to take them all. At the same time, they are also asking the king to send more troops to the New World to ensure that they can compete with the Ming army. However, their army assembly point is not in Panama City, but in Central America. Base Camp, later Mexico's east coast region.

At this time, the Europeans didn't think about packing up and leaving, and they even had the idea of ​​killing the Ming army.

After passing Panama City and heading north, the road looks much more desolate.

When the European colonists first arrived on the American continent, they were thinking about killing and plundering. They never thought about operating here for a long time, so that the extent of their destruction of Central American civilization was more obvious than in South America. Many places here They are all desolate and uninhabited, and primitive jungles are everywhere.

But this time Zhu Hao was surrounded by people from various Aztec tribes who knew the local topography and landforms thoroughly, and there were also captives of European colonists as guides, so he basically did not encounter any major problems along the way.

All the way to Xincheng, there was no decent resistance from the Europeans.

When Lu Song saw the mighty army brought back by Zhu Hao, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Let the fleet bring in the necessary living and combat supplies... Can the steel and gunpowder sent earlier be enough for local development?" Zhu Hao asked.

Lu Song welcomed Zhu Hao into the city.

When Zhu Hao entered the city, he was welcomed by the townspeople. In their eyes, Zhu Hao was different from ordinary lords or emperors, and he was closer to a god or a god's messenger. Over the past year or so, they had been welcomed by normal people. treatment.

They also joined from the initial helplessness, from resistance to obedience, to gradual acceptance, and gradually integrated into the life of the new city.

"Enough, enough, in addition to producing necessary agricultural tools such as hoes, sickles, and axes, and daily necessities such as kitchen knives and iron pots, steel has also produced many large knives, long swords and spearheads, and even cast 36 cannons and more than 1 Cannonballs are fired, but there is no use for them at present."

Lu Song felt very melancholy.

In terms of current mineral output, no matter what you do, there is enough. The warehouses can hardly store the produced steel, coal, copper ingots and other materials. The supply of stone and wood is even more endless. Ships are built one after another. The boat is unmanned.

Zhu Hao said: "How can there be too much steel? In the next step, we will try to cast a large iron ship. This time I am here to accomplish this goal!"
