Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 979 Colonial Plan
Zhu Youjian knew the situation in the Americas of later generations, but now it was at the end of Ming Dynasty, how could he know.

Although he is the emperor, Zhu Youjian can't lie, no, wouldn't it be a sin if some vassal king stays in the American continent forever because of his nonsense.

So he said the truth:

"I don't know exactly what's going on over there. When hundreds of people in Western countries were able to destroy a country, don't you think so many of you are afraid that they won't be able to destroy the Western colonists, live in their houses, and rob them?" Their gold and silver, their wealth and their resources..."

Zhu Youjian began to teach the vassals how to deal with Western colonists and local aborigines.

The Western colonists were directly killed, and the natives were treated differently. Daming would not treat the natives as slaves, and could use them to work for a fee.

What is paid is to give them food, and then exchange the food for their gold and silver.

Native Americans are still in primitive condition.For them, it is good to have food, and they can completely use them to make money.

When Westerners first arrived in America, the natives treated them very well, and in many places the natives did not oppose outsiders.

After Daming completely controls the Americas, the western countries can only buy the daily necessities they need from Daming, and most of their colonies in the Americas will be controlled by Daming.

These vassal kings are still very young, basically around 20 years old. Young people like to take risks. When they heard that the emperor asked them to colonize the mysterious mainland, their happy hands couldn't be photographed together.

They all wanted to know what was on the other side of the sea.

Seeing their happy faces, Zhu Youjian continued:

"It may take a long time to go to South America this time. You all have to be mentally prepared to float on the sea for a long time. If you can gain a firm foothold there, you can take your family over by then. I will keep your palace in the mainland of Daming. And the fiefdom, you can come back once every three years..."

All the feudal kings nodded again and again:
"According to the purpose"

Zhu Youjian explained in detail how he survived in America, and then let them go back.

At that time, the troops will be assembled in the nearby seaport, and Zheng Chenggong will arrange warships and transport ships for them when he returns.

In this way, the eleven Ming vassals are preparing to embark on a journey to colonize the Americas in a month.

For their trip, Zhu Youjian is full of confidence. The 20 army is not as powerful as the main force of the Ming army. With the advantage of firearms, it will definitely sweep the American continent.

The most powerful American colonizer was Spain, who occupied almost the entire South America, the entire Central America, the southern and western parts of the United States, and Cuba in the Caribbean, except for Brazil, Suriname and French Guiana.

Next came Portugal, which occupied Brazil.Early America was dominated by Spain and Portugal, and the sphere of influence was mediated and divided by the Pope himself.

The Netherlands occupies Suriname and several small islands in the Caribbean, such as Aruba and its like, including New York (New Netherland) at the earliest.

After the rise of Britain and France, they mainly competed for North America and the Caribbean.

Britain is mainly in the eastern part of the United States and part of eastern Canada today, and France is in eastern Canada and the central part of the United States today.

The many small islands in the Caribbean occupied by Britain and France are in a staggered shape, among which the French colonies in the Caribbean are mainly Haiti, Dominica, Martini and so on.

The United Kingdom is mainly Jamaica, the Virgin Islands, Tedo and Barbados.

There are also some that change hands frequently. For example, Tsarist Russia occupied the Alaska region. Now that Ming has destroyed Tsarist Russia, their colonies will of course belong to Daming.

The Germans were the last to do so and only captured the Bahamas.

The United States first became independent from the British-occupied American territory and bought back the central Louisiana area from France.

It also replaced and occupied the southern and western regions from Spain, and bought Alaska from Russia.

These are the territories of the United States today.In addition, the American colonies that the United States snatched from Spain include Cuba and Puerto Rico.

Since Columbus set foot on the New World, Spain has successively established strongholds in the Caribbean Sea and the American coast and pushed inland.

Military conquests have been accompanied by expeditions since the Spaniards discovered that the backward New World civilization was powerless to resist the Europeans.

In 1519, the Spaniards established Havana and took control of Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean Sea. In the same year, they landed in Mexico and established Veracruz. After that, the Spanish colonizer Cortez led troops deep inland to conquer the Aztec Empire.

In 1519, the Spaniards established Panama City on the south bank of the Isthmus of Panama, and began to invade the Pacific coast of South America.

In 1533, the Inca Empire was conquered by Pisa. Two years later, the Spaniards established the city of Lima in Peru and used it as a base to gradually control other parts of South America.

From 1534 to 1535, Spain went north to explore the west coast of North America and named it California and began to gradually penetrate into the interior of North America.

During the centuries of Spanish rule, the natives of Spanish America were constantly driven out and slaughtered by the Spanish colonists.

Later, in order to develop the resources of the New World, the Spaniards, such as precious metals, sugar, cotton, tobacco, coffee, cocoa, dyes and so on.

They had to import a large number of black slaves from Africa to engage in planting and mining, which led to a thriving slave trade.

Unlike the British colonies, Spain did not develop the colonial processing industry but only plundered it as a source of raw materials.

All the specialties and resources of Spanish America will be shipped back to the mainland.

In order to rule Spanish America, Spain successively established four viceroyalties:
Governorate of New Spain: The capital, Mexico City, was established in 1535 and governed New Spain (now Mexico), Central America and the Caribbean Islands.

Viceroyalty of Peru: Lima, the capital, was established in 1542 to govern the entire Spanish South America. After Spain established two new Viceroyalties in South America in the 18th century, its jurisdiction shrank accordingly.

Governorate of New Granada: The capital, Bogotá, was established in 1718 and governs today's Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador.

Governorate of La Plata: The capital, Buenos Aires, was established in 1776 and governs present-day Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.

In addition, some governor's districts have a governor's district under them.

There are five governorships in Spanish America:
Guatemala, Cuba "", Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Chile.

In 1764, Spain implemented the county system in the American colonies, dividing New Spain into 12 counties, La Plata into 8 counties, and so on.

Zhu Youjian will not order the army to drive away all the Western colonists, Ming Dynasty only needs to occupy some important places in the Americas.

Like Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Canada, the United States, most regions, etc., for sure.

Of course, if the vassal kings themselves have the ability and vision to expand their territories, and they occupy all of America, Zhu Youjian has no objection.

The vassals happily withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Youjian began to consider how to make the territory he obtained now belong to Daming forever.
