Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 1153 Going North ([-])

After seeing off Pedro and Fernandez, the newly appointed Lieutenant Ji Wen quickly devoted himself to the construction of the Mobile Commercial Station and its affiliated areas, and it took more than half a month until late March The arrival of his old partner, Second Lieutenant Echto of the Navy.

"After discussing with the Free State, President Ding has decided that the country adopts a monarchy, but the successor of each monarch needs to be approved by the majority of the eight chiefs. Well, the year of the Free State Kingdom has also been determined, 1658 The year is the first year of Kant. It is said that the year name was personally confirmed by President Ding Yiyu Ding. What the Free State Kingdom needs to do now is probably to move the royal court who is still lingering in the river area as soon as possible. Now At the mouth of the Mississippi River, there is only one police officer who arrived earlier to preside over the situation, and the number of people including family members is only more than 1000, which is really outrageous." Captain Echto said as soon as he entered the door.

And the Ding Yiyu he was talking about was the first president of Air Canada, a veteran of the navy, and the first captain of the "Swordfish".Similar to the Southern Railway Company, the president of Air Canada, a large concern company, will also be held by an active naval officer. Major Ding Yiyu took up the post under such circumstances.And there is no doubt that Air Canada, which represents the will of the East Coast government, is actually the overlord of the Free State Kingdom. This can be seen from the fact that President Ding can easily decide many internal affairs of the country.

The reason why President Ding gave the Kingdom of the Free State the title of "Kant" is nothing more than the outbreak of his own bad taste.Now there are eight major factions in this free state kingdom, which are the previous eight banners. The surname Mo is the largest and is also the royal family; Liu, Xie, Xiao, and Chang are the next four; Han and other surnames are next.Basically, the whole country believes in New Taoism, and Chinese is the only official language. Of course, most of them are currently spoken by the middle and upper classes; and there are more than 200 people who have received East Coast primary school education, and most of them are from middle and upper class aristocratic families.

In general, after more than 20 years of rectification by the people on the east coast, from the early black eight banners to the modern free state, this country with a population of more than [-] people is no matter in terms of productivity level, organizational structure, or spiritual outlook. Look, all of them have undergone radical changes. The entire country is one of soldiers and civilians, farming and fighting (of course, this is their nature, just like the Zulus of later generations, not all the credit of the people on the east coast), with a strong ability to resist danger.Bringing them to the North American continent must be a good helper for the people on the east coast.

"However, the manpower behind must be brought in quickly, so that our company can have more helpers. Now the company has several 10 yuan in funds, but there are not enough manpower to handle it. It's very easy to use, and I can trust them more. With them, we can start many things ahead of schedule." Lieutenant Ji Wen happily pulled his old partner over, and then said: "I hope that in the whole year of 1658, we can start again." At least 6000 battle-hardened soldiers of the Black Eight Banners were transported here, and there were almost [-] or [-] family members. In this way, the Xinjing port of the Free State Kingdom (that is, the later New Orleans, the capital of the Free State Kingdom), of course, now they are only It’s just a city-state) and the construction progress will be gradually accelerated. At that time, our company will almost rehabilitate a lot of land on the outskirts of Xinjinggang, with sufficient manpower and sufficient funds. The large-scale plantation economy will be able to Fully mounted."

"By the way, what's going on with the commercial ports in New Spain? I've been staying at the Mobile Commercial Station, so I don't have much information about it." Lieutenant Shay Wen asked again.

"There are joys and sorrows." Second Lieutenant Exito said briefly: "Major Anda Fifteen made a big deal in Cartagena, and fought two groups of smugglers on the spot, which greatly frightened the local Hidalgos. Now there is chaos there Yes, but it’s not a bad thing for us, because the merchants, nobles, and priests who didn’t like us as a monolithic group are now very divided. Except for the priests who are still hostile to us, there are many merchants and nobles who waver. Haha, very interesting. According to me, things should be done like this. In a city like Cartagena where villains gather together, you have to use a simple and rough style to open the situation, otherwise everyone will treat you as a weak and deceitful little sheep .”

"However, our work in Vera Cruz and Puerto Bello, Panama has not been carried out smoothly. Not only have people been assassinated one after another, but even the business station has been smashed. Major Long Xu, who is currently in Havana, plans to concentrate A group of army soldiers used to press the scene, but I am not very optimistic. These places are the lairs that the Spaniards have been running for many years, and various forces are intertwined. It is indeed not a matter of time for us to squeeze in." Second Lieutenant Axito spread his hands, Said helplessly.

For the five commercial ports that Air Canada took over, it seems that St. Augustine is relatively smooth because of its close economic ties. The Hidalgos in Cartagena are a little dizzy because they were punched by Anda [-]. The situation has greatly improved. , Havana also stood up smoothly because it was a service city (serving the two treasure fleets) and had the main force of the army going to hold the line. And it is quite difficult to do things - but this is also expected by everyone at first, and no one has ever thought how much money will be made in New Spain and how things will go smoothly, but the people on the East Coast also believe that as long as there is enough Sooner or later, they will completely digest and control these markets, making them another big source of milk for the East Coast Republic of China.

"Ah! I almost forgot!" Second Lieutenant Echito seemed to suddenly remember something, only to hear him say: "I met some Italian businessmen in San Juan Port, among them were members of the Doria family. They were talking to me. While chatting (Esposito’s original name is Esposito, and he was born in Italy), he mentioned that they were also interested in investing in the Americas, and asked if we had any good investment opportunities to introduce to them. Later, they went to President Ding again. They were really chasing after him. Profit guy, terrible!"

Perhaps this time I really want to disappoint the Italians from Italy, Milan, Lucca and Tuscany. Air Canada has not yet introduced foreign investors to invest in North America. If you really want to invest in overseas colonies, then Xinhua Island, which is controlled by people on the east coast, seems to be a good place, but it is not North America.

To put it bluntly, people on the east coast would rather bring in a large number of Malays from Xinhua Island in North America than bring in a bunch of whites (maybe the Spaniards can be an exception).They are very familiar with the impulse of various European countries to colonize overseas in this era, but in today’s increasingly high cost of colonization (mainly security defense costs and development costs), there are only a handful of countries that can easily colonize North America in Europe There are a few, such as Britain, France, Holland, Spain and other countries.The remaining Italy, Germany, and the Baltic countries can only rely on other countries due to the lack of large-scale naval fleets and merchant fleets (Sweden’s merchant fleet is even far inferior to that of Courland), which will undoubtedly further jeopardize the already extremely expensive colonial adventure. The cost is pushed to a higher position, making it prohibitive.

And it is precisely for this reason that after the people on the east coast undertook the largest security and defense costs, the Japanese were so keen to come to the east coast and overseas colonies to develop, Because this risk factor has been reduced to an acceptable level for them.Now these "vultures chasing carrion" are following in the footsteps of the people on the east coast and staring at the North American continent, hehe, how is this possible!If it is Spaniards and Portuguese who are incompatible with the British race, society, and system, that’s all. It’s absolutely impossible for Italians (such as the **** who settled in Amsterdam, etc.) to integrate into various countries. If it came over, wouldn't that deliver ammunition to the British?If you really have money and have nowhere to spend it, then you can go to Xinhua Island to open up plantations, and the people on the east coast will welcome you with their hands raised.

Moreover, there are indeed some European countries or regions other than Japan that are negotiating to go to Xinhua Island to establish plantations. For example, the Milanese just signed an investment of 500 million Imperial Lire with the East Bank to start cotton production. Plantation agreements; the Hamburgers were also allowed to open pepper plantations in the Tacheng Port area, the total contract value exceeded eight thousand gold marks, and so on. European maritime countries prevented these Central European and Northern European countries from going to the North American continent The future of colonization, but the people on the east coast opened the new Huaxia Island to them, which can be regarded as guiding this force out. At that time, the Central Europeans will get profits, and the people on the east coast will get the developed land, and both sides will get what they need.But if these Central Europeans and Northern Europeans don't know what to do and insist on squeezing into the muddy pond of North America, then I'm sorry, the people on the east coast won't allow it, you have to find a way!

"Don't worry about those Italians and Germans. The company's charter has been set, and the North American continent will not cooperate with these people. Our main job now is to gain a firm foothold in the North American continent, accumulate our own strength, and then seek to cooperate with them. The cooperation opportunity of the New China Pioneering Team..." Lieutenant Ji Wen smiled when he heard the words, and said: "There are more than one million descendants of Malays on the New China Island. People are destined to be moved out one by one. South Africa was the only native colony that could absorb such a huge population before, and now North America is added. Yes, these Malays are adapted to the climate of the Caribbean coast, and their number is It is very huge, if it can be transported in large quantities to work in the plantation run by our company, then the picture will be really beautiful, but I don’t know what the New China Pioneering Team thinks..."
