Chapter 114: Getting Water

Chen Mu said: "It's fair. ”

He was not as angry as Shao Tingda imagined, and even glad to provide all the convenience to the White Horse Chieftain, and signed an agreement with the eight leaders of the White Horse Alliance on the spot.

The agreement allowed the eight tribes of the White Horse Alliance to move out of the mountains to Agang, establish a village in the north of the Daojun Temple, and become the people here.

On this basis, Chen Mu provided the White Horse Alliance with 2 million cocoa beans, including one million loans and the difference in the price of the Andalusian mares, for them to trade with the northern tribes, and the two sides also made an agreement that the White Horse Alliance would sell goods other than necessities to Port Aya within six months.

The profits will be used to purchase the military quartermaster of the Thousand Households, including the 500 Arquebus Guns, and the training expenses of the Ming Army instructors, and the White Horse Alliance will be reorganized into the Changsheng Zuo Thousand Households in six months.

In the agreement, the port was renamed as Changsheng County, Changsheng Port, Changsheng Town, and Changshengwei for the first time.

Chen Mu had always planned to change the name of Acapulco, just as the Spaniards had chosen their name in disregard of the Indians' name for the place, and he saw no need to follow in the footsteps of the Spaniards and keep the name in place.

This is an excellent opportunity, as the White Horse Alliance has moved out of the mountains, the number of people in the land of victory has reached more than 24,000, and if you count the mountain tribes in the south, the population will swell to 40,000.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the population was close to 10,000 households, and it was not a small county seat.

Chen Mu did not blush at the reselling business brought about by the whimsy of the white horse, there were loopholes in the economic environment he designed, and it was someone else's ability to find the loopholes, and he could only blame himself for his small pattern, and there was no focus on anything other than the usual victory.

But at this moment, it's not that important, it's a one-shot deal.

Limited to the growth environment of cocoa trees, the only place where cocoa beans were used as currency was the central part of the former Aztec territory, and under the promotion of Changsheng County, cocoa beans would soon withdraw from the monetary system of this range, and it would be impossible to make a profit by reselling them at that time.

He is more concerned about the White Horse Alliance, who have seen the combat power of the Ming army, they almost need to be persuaded to agree to settle in the port and become a common people, and the large-scale influx of population into Changsheng County is naturally a good thing, but the ensuing pressure of public security, price changes, and survival pressure is what he needs to worry about more.

Compared with the long journey of the eight leaders of the White Horse Alliance, Zheng Tu of Zhuangyuan Bridge was much easier, and the wear-resistant clothing used for work was not Xingjinghaifu, and the twenty-three tribal chiefs and their guards who arrived with Zheng Tu were wearing a piece of Ming army standard armor, and the weather was not taken off no matter how hot it was.

In the words of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Tu of Zhuangyuan Bridge is soaring.

In the past, Zheng Tu was only the chief of a small tribe, subordinate to a large tribal alliance that was named 'Neizi by Shao Tingda and 'Yi people' by Ma Gui.

This tribal alliance originated from the Spanish war of conquest that opened up north from Mexico, and the tribes unwilling to submit to the Spaniards fled northward, making the Yi people powerful and becoming the Great Wall of Indian flesh and blood that blocked the Spaniards from going north.

The loosely organized Yi alliance occupied a huge land of nearly 3,000 miles from north to south and east to west in the long war, and all the tribes in it had only one purpose, survival.

Zheng Tu is only one of the hundreds of villages, but his fortune has come, and this luck is Ma Gui and Shao Tingda.

In the interaction with Ma Gui, he became a member of the Ming army, and in the war of the lost Shao Tingda to recapture the Zhuangyuan Bridge for the aborigines, Zheng Tu, who lost his territory and tribe, not only recovered the lost territory, but also achieved a high reputation in the western coalition army of the Yi nationality and became the war leader of more than 100 tribes in the western part of the Yi nationality.

When Magui set up Jincheng County in the south of Zhuangyuan Bridge, the Western Alliance of the Yi Nationality became a subject of Jincheng County, and Jincheng was much better than Changsheng County in terms of external environment, and hundreds of large and small tribes as many as 148,000 strange people registered the yellow book and allocated land to Wu Zhongxing, the magistrate of Jincheng, in the battle between Chen Mu and Bernal.

In the end, Wu Zhongxing chose the golden city that Chen Mu mentioned to name his county seat, because they discovered gold mines in the process of registering the yellow book.

It seems that all the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have such a high Tibetan psychology as Chen Mu, and almost when Jincheng County was just established, Wu Zhongxing sent people to teach Zheng Tu to cultivate and burn bricks; Ma Gui taught Zheng Tu how to use and construct all kinds of agricultural tools, and unreservedly handed over these 'carving insect skills' to the people.

Chen Mu listened to the report of Zheng Tu's subordinate long-legged bear in the yamen, and nodded slowly, this long-legged bear is the best person in the Chinese dialect of the hundreds of tribes under Zheng Tu's command, and now he is already teaching others to speak.

Without the impact of the war, Jincheng was thriving.

Chen Mu has reason to believe that the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty is the smartest person in this era, anyone has the talent of corruption and whining, not only literati, but also military attachés or ordinary officials or even pawn peddlers, as long as there is an opportunity, anyone can do a good job of corruption and whining.

But not everyone is as good as the jinshi are able to govern the place.

"Wuzhi County also led us to fight a battle with the black-footed people in the north and won a big victory."

Black-footed people?

It's a new tribal alliance...... Chen Mu didn't think it was a small tribe, because many small tribes had no names, not to mention that they could fight against the heroic and warlike Yi people, and only the tribal alliance could do it.

Chen Mu asked, "Did the Black-footed Man attack you?" ”

There weren't many defenders in Jincheng, but a few of Wanli's warships were parked there to avoid the battle, and there were some forbidden troops, so it wouldn't be special if they joined the war and won.

"No, Wu Zhixian heard that the Blackfoot people had often taken our people captive in the past few decades, so he sent a message to the Blackfoot people to announce the kindness of the Celestial Empire, and they were not to blame for what happened in the past, and asked them to return the captive people as soon as possible."

The long-legged bear pursed his lips and complained: "We all said that this would not work, and no one listened, but Wu Zhixian said that he wanted to send a famous teacher to salute first and then soldier, and then sure enough, the black-footed man did not listen, and killed the person sent to deliver the letter." ”

"Wu Zhi County summoned all tribes to form a coalition army of 30,000, and he also asked us to spread the news to the Blackfoot people that there were 300,000 troops."

These words made the long-legged bear talk everywhere, and Chen Mu pouted when he heard it, but it was normal for Wu Zhongxing to dare to send troops, and there was no county in this world that could stand the abduction of the people under his rule by others, which was worse than slapping him twice.

He said, "This is called 300,000." ”

"That's right, it's called 300,000."

"And then, how did you win?"

The long-legged bear smiled: "Wu Zhi County led 10,000 troops to guard the northern border, 20,000 people were sent to the north by warship, and the Black-footed people gathered troops to the south to guard against our 300,000 people, and were beaten from west to east by 20,000, and they were dispersed without fighting on the side of Wu Zhi County." ”

"Later, the blackfoot tribes sent back slaves who were ours and not ours, more than 20,000 people, and Wuzhi County stopped the army."

"When we set off, he was about to recruit the Blackfoot."

Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, this county magistrate asked Wu Zhongxing to do it, it sounded like a fish in water for the political and military battles.
