Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 716 New Spain invaded the Ming colony (please subscribe!)

Jinshan Governor's District.

Xiao Wu led a team of Daming gold panning teams to pan for gold in the gold mining area.

If there is no external intervention, Jinshan City will mine a large amount of gold, and attract more immigrants from the Ming Dynasty to come here to seek gold, and flow a large amount of gold into the mainland of the Ming Dynasty!
However, paper could not contain the fire, and the news of the discovery of gold mines in Jinshan City still spread to New Spain in the south.

After 200 years of development, the New Spain colony has become far stronger than other countries.

Compared with New Spain, the strength of the Daming Jinshan Governor's District is like a Greek city-state, and the gap with the Persian Empire is the same.

One is a small city-state that has just landed in Yinzhou and developed for several years, and the other is a subsidiary state that has been established for more than 100 years. The strength gap is quite large.

Previously, New Spain was intimidated by the name of Ming, and chose to trade with the colonies of Ming.

Now that New Spain has figured out the bottom line of the Great Ming Yinzhou Colony, they are no longer afraid!

Previously, the Spaniards were only interested in gold and silver mines, focusing on Mexico, Central America and South America, and did not expand northward.

The capital of New Spain, inside Mexico City.

"Your Excellency, the news from Europa said that the Allied Forces of the Eight Nations have already confronted Ming in Asia. I think this is a good opportunity to drive out the Ming people in California."

"Your Excellency, I heard that they also found a gold mine there."

A New Spain official reports to work.

The gold rush in Jinshan City was in full swing, and the news naturally spread to the ears of the Spaniards.

The Governor of New Spain, Bartolomé's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "If it is to deal with the Ming people in the New World, I think it is feasible!"

"Listen to my order: Gather the army and fleet of New Spain to destroy the Ming people in the New World and seize their gold mines to make up for the empire's loss in the Philippines!"

"Obey! Your Excellency Governor, I am more than happy to help!"

At Jinshan City Wharf, a fleet is ready to set sail.

Standing on the edge of the pier, Xiao Wu saw the fleet drifting away and the shadows of sails disappearing into the sky.

This is the first batch of gold transport ships to go to the mainland of Ming Dynasty this year.

A few years ago, Xiao Wu led the fleet to the New World, anchored in the bay near Jinshan City, and landed to establish a colony.

Xiao Wu, as the first officer of the Ming Dynasty to land ashore, especially remembered that he was holding the Sun and Moon flag, planted the flagpole on the beach, and announced loudly to the people accompanying him: "From now on, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

At that time, he was in high spirits, and remembered what His Majesty said to him: Wherever the sun and moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers flow, they are all Han soil.

It was full of pride back then, but now it suffers from lack of manpower and cannot continue to expand externally.

To be honest, Xiao Wu was a little depressed.

Fortunately, news from the mainland said that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to vigorously develop the Yinzhou Colony of the Ming Dynasty, and there would be a steady stream of manpower to replenish it immediately.

He is full of anticipation.

On the side of the wharf, local merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty were moored, and the coolies were carrying down porcelain from Jingdezhen, cotton cloth and silk from Songjiang, and perfume and cigarettes from Yingtian.

Immigrants from the Ming Dynasty in Jinshan City and nobles from the Chaoge Tribe were laughing and cursing, shopping for goods, they were all rich masters!
When they finish picking things, they sell to New Spain.

New Spain eats their leftovers.

Standing at the port, Xiao Wu found that the colony's own battleship was being built in the dock!
However, due to the lack of technical craftsmen, ships, small battleships that can carry up to [-] artillery pieces, are not strong in combat effectiveness.

Daming mainland stationed a third-tier warship and four fourth-tier warships here.

The small warships produced by the colonies can just be used to escort the big ships of the country!
Near the port, several forts have also begun to take shape, equipped with a few steel cannons brought in from the mainland, and the firepower is sufficient!

Rifled guns were not provided by the local Ming Dynasty, in case they fell into the hands of the Europeans.

Xiao Wu nodded in satisfaction, perhaps in another ten years, Jinshan City may become a metropolis.

He is proud to build a metropolis by himself!

No matter what, he can leave his name in history, as long as he lets go and work hard, because every step he takes in Yinzhou is to expand the territory.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was about to go back to the city to deal with government affairs, when his deputy, Lao Bian, suddenly exclaimed, "My lord, there are a steady stream of large ships coming from the sea!"

Xiao Wu didn't take it seriously, Jinshan City was very busy, and every once in a while there would be local merchant ships, as well as ships transporting gold diggers, entering the harbor.

It's normal to have a lot of boats.

However, Lao Bian's exclamation still caught his attention. Usually, Lao Bian would not yell.

Xiao Wu turned around, squinted his eyes and looked towards the sea, but after a while he was completely stunned.

Because there are too many ships coming!
At the end of the sea and sky, a shadow of masts and sails came along the coastline from the south.

Could it be that the ships supported by Daming arrived so soon?
Xiao Wu was a little surprised. After all, the only factor restricting the development of Jinshan Governor's District was the lack of population.

If there are new immigrants, he will be able to mine more gold, collect more taxes, and cultivate more fields, so he will have more money to develop the surrounding land.

But immediately, Xiao Wu became suspicious again, because it didn't look like a transport ship, most of them were battleships!
Is it okay to send warships over here?

It's unscientific. The Jinshan Governor's District can hardly use those few ships.

Because there must be sailors to sail a boat!

Large ships often require a lot of sailors, the population is not enough, and the fleet size cannot be raised at all.

broken!

Xiao Wu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he hastily stretched out his hand and shouted: "Old Bian, quickly bring the telescope."

Old Bian quickly handed him a binoculars, and Shi Kai took a closer look, his expression changed drastically.

He didn't see it, it was all battleships.

Moreover, on the mainmast of each seagoing ship, there was no Sun and Moon flag of Ming Dynasty, but a flag with a red cross on a white background.

This is the sign of the Spaniards!
Now as the distance approaches, the huge Spanish fleet outside the harbor reveals its true body.

They were all low-board, square-sailed, sailed battleships with cannons on both sides.

"Not good! It's a Spanish battleship!"

Xiao Wu exclaimed.

At this time, the alarm bells echoed inside and outside Jinshan Port, and the colonial navy and Daming maritime merchants in Jinshan Port immediately entered a state of battle, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out outside Jinshan Port.

Judging from the current situation, the Ming colony is at an absolute disadvantage. There are only five large warships and a few small self-made frigates.

In addition to the armed merchant ships of several maritime merchants docked at the port, it is still not enough to see!

Even though they were at an absolute disadvantage, facing the incoming enemy, the armed merchant ships of the Ming merchants did not choose to flee. Instead, they lined up in the harbor along with the warships of the colonial navy and entered a battle formation.

On the fort on the shore, a small army of the Ming colony also hurriedly loaded their artillery, preparing to meet the New Spain fleet coming from the sea.

Xiao Wu was an admiral in the Dongning Island period. He experienced a long battle at sea, and he had a premonition that it must be a tough battle!

"Don't be afraid!"
