Chen Mu didn't care about false names, or he didn't need to care about false names.

Just like the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, Philip did not give himself the title of Aztec Emperor, and his governor chose to install a puppet to succeed him - where would a self-proclaimed high conqueror be worthy of the title of conquered?

Chen Mu's idea is not so extreme, he doesn't think that Spain or the Aztecs are superior and inferior, anyway, the level of civilization and the wealth of the people are a cut below Daming.

He cares more about the role that Da Ming will play in the geography of both sides of the Atlantic.

The long-dormant army of Changsheng County was frequently dispatched at the end of November of the sixth year of Wanli, first the townships in the county posted notices to the subordinate villages, and the Dongyang military government recruited the people who were willing to undertake the mission of reclamation to follow the banner army to the north, and the rewards were good.

Each man who was willing to go north would bring his own food, but the military government gave Jincheng a waist knife, a Jinghai suit, and a one-time payment of 3,000 to Tongbao.

After recruitment, the flag army will be deployed, with ten people in each team, and two hard bows and four strings, two crossbows and four crossbows, one arquebus and thirty feather arrows, thirty crossbow arrows, thirty lead pellets and gunpowder cartridges and measuring tools needed to measure the land.

Cheng Dawei, who was sheltering from the cold in Jincheng, didn't expect that he would come here to do business and still receive orders from Chen Mu, and the winner of the Wanli Mathematics Prize, who smelled the business opportunity, opened two factories in Jincheng, and one hired a large number of aboriginal men and women to make ink thread rolls and hemp rope cars for him to measure the land.

In Cheng Dawei's words, no one knows how big Asia is, and there are many places to measure in the future!

The other factory was still idle at the moment, originally he wanted to get permission to open a gunpowder workshop from Wu Zhongxing, but several gunpowder workshops and nitrate-making workshops in Jincheng were dominated by Magui's Overseer Mansion, and merchants were not allowed to participate, so he could only retreat.

Cheng Dawei's second industry is ironmaking, this place in Asia relies on the mountains and the water, regardless of the tanning of fur, blankets, weaving or manufacturing are close to saturation, similar to wood, quarrying, gold and silver.

It is not a big investment industry, a few large-scale workshops similar to workshops can saturate the market, and you only need to wait for the Beijing ship once in half a year to return to the cost.

This makes it difficult for them, whether they are Hui businessmen or immigrant businessmen, to operate the manufacturing industry, and can only be some shippers who buy low and sell high.

Shippers can make a lot of money, but who doesn't see the potential here? The aborigines of Panama and Changsheng still have some iron tools, but the aboriginal tribes further north can hardly see the iron tools.

Because there is no iron ore.

The market is huge, and Cheng Dawei's other factory is the ironsmith workshop, he has already hired thirty workers, and contacted another eighty aborigines in the county, as long as the next time Beijing is transported, the Hui merchants who have been ventilated will bring him a large number of iron ingots, and the ship will be able to start work immediately.

The reason why we don't buy from our own country and choose to build here is not because the labor here is cheap.

Even if the labor does not need money, the freight of the ship carrying the goods must be taken in, but such an upfront investment is worth it, Cheng Dawei does not believe that there will be no iron ore in such a vast land, and he needs to cultivate a group of blacksmiths loyal to himself from scratch to cope with future market changes.

If the above assembled immigration expedition is not considered an army, then the mobilization of the Beiyang Army has attracted the attention of immigrants.

By November, preparations were being made everywhere in Changsheng County, but the military government issued an order at this time to mobilize 1,200 Beiyang Banner Army to be transferred from Panama to Changsheng Port under the leadership of Yuan Zizhang, a general of the second phase of the Army Division.

At the Yamen of the Military Mansion of Changsheng County, Yang Tingxiang, who was wearing a military uniform of the Lecture Hall and wearing a tiger's head breastplate, held his helmet and walked into the second floor of the military mansion under the guidance of Jia Ding, Chen Mu had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Marshal, the humble post is here."

Chen Mu, who was wearing a single robe, turned his head and his eyes lit up, although Yang Tingxiang was born in the martial arts hall, he usually wore official uniforms when entering and leaving the military palace, and he rarely showed people in military uniforms like this.

"How's it going, how are the lives of immigrants from all over the world in Asia?" Chen Mu leaned his hand to the chair in the room and said, "Sit." ”

"Generally speaking, the immigrants get along very well with the aborigines, perhaps because there were Xiyi suppression and slavery before, and now the aborigines are very satisfied with the Ming decree, they don't need any help and charity, the enslaved people know who to be grateful to best, they just need a job, a job that can be paid."

"Huer and with it, the doer of the way is relieved, and the beggar is disdainful of it. They are all hardworking, just a little stupid. ”

Yang Tingxiang sighed as he said this, during this time he was active in various villages, and he had been trying to compile the history and living habits of the aborigines, but he had little success, and everything was done according to the arrangements of the Spaniards, which were extremely simple and had little to record.

And when he tried to dig into the past, people seemed to remember only the tragedy that had happened after the arrival of the Spaniards, and beyond that, even the oldest of the tribes did not know what their lives were like before the invasion.

On the contrary, the further north, for example, the Zheng Tubu in Jincheng or further north, the people still maintain their ancient habits and are not disturbed by the outside world.

"Whoever is broken by something they have never seen, who has the will to resist is killed, who loses their culture and the opportunity to learn for decades with fear will become stupid and naïve, and it is not their fault that life is better than death."

Chen Mu waved his hand and didn't care about this, and said, "Our culture will re-energize them, and it only takes two generations for all this to change dramatically." ”

"The lowly post is planning to go to Jincheng to stay for a while, I don't know what is the important thing for the marshal to summon the lowly post here this time? I heard that the military government sent 1,000 more troops to the front line, what did the Westerners do? ”

"That's not an additional soldier for General Fu, just let him take care of it temporarily and go to Jincheng? You don't have to go to the Golden City, you can go straight to Mexico City. ”

Chen Mu said and pushed out the envelope from the table, and said to Yang Tingxiang: "I estimate that Spain already knows the news of our increase of troops to the border, and their envoy should be coming to Changsheng County non-stop, and after meeting them, you will be the governor of the Mingxi Co-governance Region." ”
