Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 2272

On April 1695, 4, Ander Town, sunny, Mauro Gonzalez and a group of friends had just returned from training.

Ande Town, formerly known as San Juan, is a Spanish colonial town with a history of more than [-] years, with a large population and prominent location advantages.There are rushing rivers nearby, melting water from high mountains, and abundant sunshine, so agriculture is very developed.Even before the large-scale influx of goods from the east coast and the large-scale bankruptcy of local handicraftsmen, the traditional industrial economy here was quite impressive. It was an important colonial town for the Spaniards in La Plata, compared with the political capital of Buenos Ellis is too strong.

After people from the east bank took over here, because of insufficient funds, they did not carry out drastic reforms, and the old production relations were largely preserved.However, unlike Tongyuan and Datong in the south, the Spanish aristocrats and manor owners here in Ande are more knowledgeable. Many of them voluntarily handed over a lot of land and allowed the east bank government to pay on credit. Travel to the African continent and start a new life, Mauro Gonzalez is one of them.

Gonzalez has just turned 40 years old this year. His father is an officer of Indian descent. Because of his contribution in the battle against the Tehuelche people, he was appreciated by General Buenos Aires and approved by the Governor of Lima. After approval by the West Indian Affairs Council, it was allowed to own a large piece of land west of San Juan.To be honest, Mauro didn't like the land very much, nor did he like running the farm, but his father was very happy, forcing him to be familiar with the various affairs of the farm since he was a child, such as how to arrange planting, how to manage slaves, how to sell agricultural products, etc. wait.Thanks to the great development of the Pampa Plain by the people on the east coast, the sales of the Gonzalez family's agricultural products went smoothly and they accumulated a lot of money.

However, after the people on the east coast developed the Pampa Plain and successfully harvested a large amount of agricultural products, their business suddenly plummeted.During that difficult time, Mauro Gonzalez went to Nancun Port several times and begged his former partners, saying, "The food is unsalable, please help us", but no one paid any attention to him. It was really a difficult time.

Then, his father died of illness, and Mauro officially inherited the family business.He began to run around for the family farm, trying to maintain it, and he was exhausted.This time, the people on the east bank got the whole of La Plata according to the treaty, and after trying to buy the land according to the law of the east bank, Mauro gave the land to the east bank government immediately without even thinking about it. The town government didn't have much money on hand, and he only got a down payment of about 1 yuan, so he didn't hesitate.He's had enough of this farm!

The East Coast government appreciates Mauro Gonzalez's understanding very much, and intends to set him up as a model to lead a team to South Africa.Mauro Gonzalez is also very interested in being the leader of thousands of people. He feels that he has finally found the meaning of life, which is to taste the thrill of power!

Mauro has had contact with these thousands of people and has a certain understanding of their composition.These people are basically from the town of Ande and the nearby villages within tens of kilometers. About half of them have Spanish descent, and the remaining half are pure Indians, Kelandi, Quechua, and Tweel. There are all kinds of people, it's very complicated.Mauro has a management team, mainly his former subordinates on the manor and some young friends. They accepted Mauro's invitation to manage this huge team—of course, they are in the National Intelligence Agency on the East Coast Detectives help down.

People from the National Intelligence Agency have also had in-depth contact with Mauro Gonzalez. Their evaluation of this man is: courageous, cold storage, passionate, and ambitious, this is enough.People on the east coast are afraid that you have no ambition, which means that you are not a good manager or leader, and cannot lead these mixed groups of mestizos and Indians with low organization to make a difference in unfamiliar places. In the end, people from the east coast are still needed to help wipe the ass. Isn't this an unreasonable increase in costs?And if you are ambitious, then you will give full play to your subjective initiative, toss and turn in complex situations, protect yourself while attacking the enemy, constantly expand your living space, and create a wall on the yellow-black dividing line. A strong wall comes -- well, a human border wall.

The National Intelligence Agency has clearly told Mauro that after reaching the yellow-black dividing line in South Africa, the East Coast government will provide various assistance including food, medicine, and weapons to help them gain a firm foothold there.Afterwards, they will also conduct an assessment of the situation of each team. The content of the assessment includes but is not limited to military struggle, production and construction, and organizational improvement.The top-ranked ones will have priority to obtain the power to establish a country, and their leaders can serve as heads of state, and receive a one-time cash and in-kind subsidy from the East Coast government.From now on, as long as newly established countries follow the baton of the East Bank in terms of domestic and foreign affairs, there will basically be no danger of regime overthrow.

Mauro Gonzalez thought about it carefully, and felt that it would be better to go to the African continent than to stay in La Plata begging for nothing and be forced to relocate by the east coast government.If you are lucky, you can also be a waver of that era and have a taste of what it is like to be the lord of a country.In fact, he doesn't think that with all kinds of assistance provided by the people on the east coast, they will not be able to defeat the local blacks. Their weakness lies in their small number and their inability to adapt to the environment, but their advantages lie in advanced weapons and advanced ideas. If they really want to do it, there is still a lot to do odds of winning.

Moreover, Mauro is not an uneducated idiot. In fact, he has studied the local situation (the people on the east coast distributed some simple information), and found that the land there is not infinite, and several teams have already gone there. Now, if you can't grab a piece of land in the first place, once the land is divided up in the future, how will you deal with yourself?I am afraid that they will be dismantled and assigned to several countries that have established political power, and they will be honestly their citizens. This is the difference between first come and first come.

In fact, Mauro Gonzalez's idea is quite clever.In fact, in the plan of the people on the east coast, there will only be six or seven countries on the yellow-black dividing line in South Africa, of which Portuguese Angola and Portuguese Mozambique occupy two, and the remaining countries will be divided up from A large tract of land from the interior of Angola to Lake Malawi.The main ethnic groups in these countries will be Malays (from Xinhua Island), Mestizos, Indians and other non-black ethnic groups (such as Omanis, Bahrainis, Indians, Bruneis, etc.) ) composition—originally the east bank government planned to relocate part of South Africa’s Black Eight Banners, but now hesitates, feeling that there are too many legacy in doing so—in principle, a single ethnic group builds a country alone to improve its internal cohesion and form several cultures A country with certain differences in nationalities and nationalities is convenient for the people on the east coast to settle in and coordinate and divide and rule.

Basically, it can be said that the Malays will definitely establish a country, as few as one, as many as two.The Mestizos and Indians from the New World are classified as an ethnic group by the East Coasters, and the number of people is about the same as that of the Malays, which is also like 1-2.As for the remaining quotas for nation-building, it should fall on other ethnic groups, such as Indians, Arabs and so on.Of course, all of the above are current assumptions, and it is not ruled out that there will be changes in the future. After all, no one can know what will happen decades or even hundreds of years later. God knows where the people on the east coast have expanded and what they have done. !Maybe, they may also migrate a large number of islanders in the South Pacific to settle at the yellow-black dividing line.

All in all, this kind of thing is first-come, first-served, and there is no fart for those who arrive later, and they are used as cannon fodder for nothing.Now a considerable part of the Mestizos and Indians have passed, and they are slowly advancing and expanding towards the yellow-black dividing line.Mauro Gonzalez dared not bet that there would not be any heroic figures among these people, what if there were so few strong men?They first united some people, and they may have military exploits at hand, and they have established a good relationship with the local east coast government. It is hard to say how far it will develop in the future.Thinking of this, Mauro Gonzalez couldn't even wait any longer. He really despised those guys who could drag on for a day. Those people didn't want to leave La Plata at all, and even planned violence for it. It's stupid enough to resist.They don't even need to think about it with their poor heads, how can they fight the people on the east coast with their little people and ridiculously weak weapons and equipment?People may not even need to dispatch the prestigious regular army, they only need to use some militiamen to beat them to pieces.

Instead of this, it's better to save your strength, seize the time to sell property, raise funds, and plan for the future.Do you really think that when you arrive in South Africa, the supplies of the people on the east coast will be openly supplied?Let’s not talk about the difference between closeness and closeness, let’s just say that it is not a rich place at all, and all kinds of materials will definitely be precious.No way, when the supplies are insufficient at that time, you have to advance your own money to purchase from the people on the east coast.These people are so ignorant. If it weren't for the consideration that they might need to rely on the power of these people in the future, Mauro Gonzalez would have directly reprimanded them.

In the early morning of April 1695, 4, after praying in St. Mark's Church in the city and entrusting his soul to the Virgin, Mauro Gonzalez took the lead with more than 19 people and set off.They followed a team of east coast militiamen and headed east with a large number of pack horses (the horses were full of supplies and money).In the next few months, a large number of mestizos and Indians will set off one after another, across the entire La Plata, to the port city on the east coast.There they will board the ship prepared by the East Coast Immigration Department, and then sail across the ocean to the African continent to start a new life of their own—a new life with both dangers and opportunities.
