My Daming New Empire

Through them, Zhuang Jing was able to pass on his orders.

When receiving the first batch of supplies, Zhuang Jing didn't keep any gold, and handed it all over to the navy in exchange for the second delivery of more supplies.

Although these natives don't like to wear clothes, they don't refuse to wear shoes. Even a fool knows that wearing shoes will make them more comfortable and run faster.

They also like Ming's daggers, iron arrows, long knives, and spears.But these require them to work for a long time before they can be exchanged.

The superior life of the Ming people made them take the initiative to imitate and learn. A small tribe would try their best to find a large piece of gold to exchange an iron pot with the Ming people.

With iron pots, they also learned to drink delicious soup, cook cooked food, and eat with chopsticks.

After three years, most of them can already speak a few words of Daming dialect, picked up gold, and learned to exchange goods and bargain with Daming people.

Of course, more people have become accustomed to exchanging labor for food and materials they want.

Relying on both sides of the Xiangdong River, more and more tribes began to settle down, and they took the initiative to become vassals of the Ming people.

Hunting in the wild, they are often hungry, but as long as they work for the Ming people, they can exchange for endless food.

There were also quite a few native girls who took the initiative to attach themselves to Daming soldiers. In the past three years, more than two hundred babies from Daming and natives had been born.

However, because of the image problem, many of the naval soldiers who switched defenses did not want to take these native girls back to Daming, and these babies were also kept.

The navy that has changed its defense has changed two batches, one batch a year, leaving more than 40 mixed-race children living with their mothers.

However, because Zhu Zhanji had explained at the beginning that the Ming army should be responsible for such a baby.

So these babies and their mothers were raised, and their mothers became servants in the military camp.

When these babies grow up a little bit, they will start to receive free education and learn to speak Minghua.

Zhuang Jing is not interested in these things, he only cares about beating and killing, and he will punish anyone who is disobedient.

Secondly, he has been bothering to find a suitable development site for himself.

He knew very well that since there were no foreign enemies in Nanzhou, it was impossible for him to share a mountain of silver directly like Ji Gang.

The more than 1000 Japanese pirates he led will be frequently dispatched in the future, so the fief must find an area near the sea.

Since this is the case, we need to find a place along the coast that can cultivate land, be self-sufficient, and preferably have some minerals.

About two hundred miles south of Xiangdong City, he searched for about twenty miles upstream along a small river, and found a treasure land.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side, there is a large flat grassland with abundant water and fertile black soil.

What made him even more happy was that although only a small gold mine was found here, a peat mine was discovered.

The more important thing is that the area here is not large, the entire plain area is only two hundred miles in radius, the area is not large, but it is easy to feed tens of thousands of people.

Those clans, nobles, looked down on such a place, but it was very suitable for him.

Therefore, while arranging people to vigorously develop gold mines in other places, he organized natives to reclaim wasteland here.

He doesn't fight for those big gold mines and the prairie, but no one here can compete with him.

Those Japanese pirates were even more excited than Zhuang Jing. They only had more than 1000 people, and even if they all moved over, they would still be less than 1.

This isolated place, which can only come from the sea, will be their homeland in the future.

Zhuang Jing moved a tribe with a population of less than 3000 people here as a whole and helped them reclaim farmland.

When the Spring Festival in 18 of Yongle is approaching, the hundreds of mu of first-season rice developed here will also be harvested soon.

Looking at these heavy ears of rice, Zhuang Jing is full of hope for the future.

"My lord, our settlement was attacked by savages again yesterday, and one person died."

"Do you know that tribe nearby did it?"

"We killed two people and now the bodies are out there. Looks like he's from the Wa tribe."

The two corpses were randomly piled on a flatbed cart. They had no clothes on them, and they could only be judged which tribe they belonged to from the decorations and the weapons they used. "

Zhuang Jing sized it up, waved his hand and said, "Take 1000 people to the Tawa tribe, and capture all their men, women and children. If there is any resistance, the men will be shot and killed."

There are few people in Nanzhou, so you can't kill people at will. If you kill them all, who will help the people of Daming work.

So even if it was a massacre, it only killed the old man and the man, and all the women and children were left as slaves.

If these women can conceive a child, it will be possible to escape from the status of slavery in the future.

Ichiro Obe, who was authorized, immediately summoned 1000 people excitedly. Although their number was small, they were all young and strong.

More importantly, they are all fully armed, and these tribes in Nanzhou don't even have iron weapons.

As long as it is a tribe with a population of less than 5000 people, it is not a problem for them, and the tribes with more than 5000 people around here do not dare to provoke the Ming people at all. They still want to exchange iron tools from the Ming people.

It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Kobe Ichiro returned to the valley proudly with a large number of captives.

Seeing so many people, Zhuang Jing was a little dumbfounded. Why did so many people come back when almost no one was injured?

Seeing Zhuang Jing's question, Xiaobian Yilang said proudly: "They didn't resist at all. When they heard that we were going to capture them, they surrendered directly. If it weren't for the rags of their tribe, they would have come back yesterday .”

"You mean they surrendered on purpose?" Zhuang Jing felt that his head was a little short, and when he saw these people staring at the grain in the field, he suddenly understood.

His grandma's, these people regard their place as a restaurant, and rely on themselves!

But, as long as they are obedient and raising so many people, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

He looked around and said, "Take them all to the foot of the opposite mountain to settle down. From tomorrow, we will build wooden houses for them. You brought these people back, and you will settle them down. "

Kobe Ichiro was in a hurry. "My lord, I only know how to kill people. How can I arrange them? Besides, there are more than 7000 people here!"

"If you don't worry about it, who will worry about it? I'm going back to the East City tomorrow. I don't have enough food now!"

(I don’t want to occupy too much space, and I want to write about the trend of the general environment. Today’s chapter is not well written. I will adjust it as soon as possible.)

Chapter 50 The Carl Soli Family

"Father, I'm full." As soon as Enke lost his job, he turned around and picked up his schoolbag and wanted to run away.

Seeing that his brother was about to run away, Monte quickly threw the bowl away. "Dad, I'm full too. Brother, wait for me..."

When 15-year-old Enke officially transitioned, he felt more and more that his younger brother, who was just over [-] years old, was a burden, and wanted to pretend he didn't hear it.

But I heard Sophia say: "Enke, you are an older brother, you should take care of Monte."

Enke respected his eldest sister and didn't dare to disobey her words, so he gave Monte a disgusted look and pursed his lips.
