"North Wind!"

In the Forbidden City, Pan Jinlian angrily threw out a newly touched card in her hand, waste, all waste, useless at all.

A table of eight immortals made of sandalwood was placed under the transparent glass window of the dormitory, and four women in plain clothes were engrossed in the Great Wall under the sanitation and service of the maids who were several times more numerous, and the sunlight outside the house shone through the glass on Pan Jinlian in the east, and the gold and silver threads in the brocade with peony and butterfly patterns sparkled, washing away the three-point old-fashioned spirit brought by the stone blue pigment satin.

"Today's bad luck is all bad cards, if it weren't for the Zhang sister-in-law to let me, the gold and silver on this table would have been lost cleanly." There are four piles of gold and silver on the table of the Eight Immortals, some large and some small, some high and some low, the largest one belongs to Pan Jinlian, not only gold and silver ingots like large and small ingots, but also gold and silver naked seeds like watermelons, grapes, and peaches.

Of course, the court knows about paper money, but where is the light and fluttering banknotes, where is the real money and silver glittering, rich and bright?

"Oops, where is my sister letting my sister."

Zhang said exaggeratedly, he is a little transparent in Lu Qian's palace, people are not telling lies at all, what they say is the truth, she really didn't mean to let Pan Jinlian. Who doesn't know the rules of the latter game? That brand is absolutely noble. If anyone deliberately let her, they will offend Pan Jinlian. "Sister, this is not in good spirits, it's really ......, it's really ......" I couldn't help but wander.

In a few days, Lu Qian's imperial driver will set off for the western tour, he will not go too far, but it is indispensable to come to the Western Regions.

Lu Qian decided to take advantage of the fact that his body was still in good shape, and went outside to take a look. has laid down such a big country, if he doesn't go to various places to play in person, he will not be willing to die.

And when Lu Qian leaves, there must be a lot of warblers and Yanyan in the palace who will also go with him. Zhang is one of them, although he is still in the palace now, his heart has flown out far away.

And seriously, there are a lot of concubines who like to play cards in this palace, but this does not include her Zhang. She played cards more to curry favor with Pan Jinlian.

Who made the Forbidden City so big? Isn't it normal to insert low-level concubines into a palace with a hall and a side hall?

But these words must not be said in front of Pan Jinlian.

Pulling your eyes up from the palace and beyond the high palace walls, you can find that in the huge Forbidden City complex, except for a few places that are quiet, the other courtyards are already busy nervously. And Pan Jinlian is one of those few courtyards!

Why?

That is always indispensable to the blow of Lu Yun being out.

Pan Jinlian had been ill for a long time before, and she had only recently recovered, but her body was still weak, so Lu Qian would not take her with her when he went on patrol. Including the queen, Cheng Wan'er, etc., the same.

Even if Fang Jinzhi was mentally prepared for his son's 'ending', it would definitely be very unpleasant at this time.

The news that the emperor was going to tour the west had spread all over Jinling, and the whole city was boiling, because it was said that one of the purposes of the emperor's western tour was to welcome the returning princes.

That's going to the Western Regions.

Moreover, when the emperor travels, the safety work must at least be absolutely guaranteed, and the team stops along the way, guards and guards, as well as drinking water and food supplies, which are the most basic elements. In the local pick-up, Lu Qian didn't want to go straight to the Western Regions, and he would stop to stop and play along the way, so he had to be well prepared.

But just when everyone's eyes in the country were looking to the northwest and looking at a few returned princes, Lu Qian's attention was divided into a lot of Americas - an expedition against the central and western regions of Mexico had now begun, and the main force to use force was the local naturalized natives.

More than ten years have passed since Ruan Xiaoqi led the fleet to discover America.

For more than ten years, Lu Qi's exploration of the Americas has never stopped, and more and more gold mines on the west coast of North America and silver from Mexico have flowed into Lu Qi's treasury.

But Lu Qi's conquest of the Americas has always only existed on the 'surface'!

In that unfamiliar environment, Lu Qijun experienced repeated switching between two different modes: war and peace. For the indigenous tribes around the West Coast, for example, the Mexican region was initially resorted to military conquest. Because in the face of expeditionary ships, the ignorant natives are more likely to attack and drive away, rather than peacefully communicate with each other.

The latter was in the minority in the early days of the "Development of the Americas".

And the Lu Qi expedition fleet, which has the mode of crushing by force, obviously will not swallow its anger and spit on itself. A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, and the war began quickly.

This is not the model that Lu Qian expected, you must know that in terms of colonization in the Americas, the history of his previous life told him two business models - France's "peaceful trade" and England's turn of face and disapproval, and Lu Qian himself expected the former more.

Because both in terms of the idea of the Eastern civilization itself and in terms of reputation, the British have gone too far.

Don't look at the later generations of John Bull who claimed to be a 'gentleman', it seems that after putting on glorious clothes, he covered up the bad deeds of his ancestors. The information explosion opened by the online world is very likely to make some black data dregs that have been lost in history flood.

As far as the colonization of the Americas is concerned, John Bull's brazenness, meanness, and treachery are despicable.

Ten years before the famous Mayflower, in 1609 AD, the British established their first colony, Jamestown, in the Virginia area. At that time, John Bull's attitude towards the indigenous Indians was extremely tough, treating the indigenous Indians as uncivilized savage animals, and carrying out a ruthless policy of plundering and slaughter.

Where there was oppression, there was resistance, which naturally provoked a strong counterattack from the Indians. Then Jamestown was under siege by the Indians for a long time. In the end, Jamestown ran out of food, and there was a tragedy of cannibalism. If it weren't for the fact that the Indians didn't know how to conquer the castle, perhaps the colonists in Jamestown would have been killed by the Indians.

So when the Mayflower migrant ship came to the Americas, their attitude was different from that of the Jamestown colonists. Of course, this could also be because of their different identities. The latter were mostly paupers and Puritans, but of course criminals.

This group of people was honest at the beginning, lived in harmony with the Indians, and passed the most difficult stage of gaining a foothold. Even, because of the help of the Indians, they created the custom of eating turkey on Thanksgiving.

However, when the British here gained a foothold, they soon set off a drive and massacre of the Indians. The British drove the Indians who had helped them into the forest, and at the same time seized the Indians' territory and expanded their territory. Eventually, a huge territory was established on the east coast of North America.

The custom of eating turkey on Thanksgiving has also been passed down in the Americas, but the meaning inside is very different. Very ironic!

The British used this method to start their own colonization in other parts of North America. At the beginning, when the strength was weak, then pretend to be a grandson, live in peace with the Indians, and once you have a firm foothold, you will immediately turn your face.

This kind of treacherous practice is too far from the moral concept that has been passed down in China since ancient times. Compared with this, Lu Qian would rather lead people to rob from the beginning, and directly start the conquest of the indigenous tribes.

And the French did it very differently from the British, not because their methods were not bloody or criminal, but because their methods were very deceptive. They used the mode of trade to conquer the indigenous people of India.

This was done by organizing a large number of merchants to go deep into the interior and trade bilaterally with the Indian tribes.

The Indians, who were of a low level of civilization, welcomed the goods brought by the French, such as pots, iron axes, swords, and glass beads. The French used these worthless things to exchange expensive beaver skins and other furs with the Indians, and at the same time made a lot of profits and formed good friendships with the Indian tribes.

It's true, kill two birds with one stone!

When they got acquainted with each other, they sold guns and gunpowder to the Indians, encouraging and instigating the Indians to fight each other. Because the latter tribes have a lot of big contradictions with each other, and even each other is a mortal enemy.

It is easy to provoke a brutal tribal war, but it is difficult to quell it, not to mention that the French not only do not put out fires, but they add firewood......

Frequent inter-tribal conflicts caused the Indians to lose a large number of strong men. Many of the weaker tribes have disappeared because of the war.

The French, on the other hand, had established good relations with powerful Indian tribes, and even allowed young employees to marry the daughters of Indian chiefs in order to strengthen ties with Indian tribes. The children born of the union of the two sides also became a special ethnic group - the Méti.

It can be said that this colonial method is very clever. While gaining friendship, he also cut off the internal strength of the natives, and also won the deep friendship of some natives, which Lu Qian liked.

Because today's Lu Qi has no time to develop the Americas on a large scale. In such a situation, it is not a bad idea to let the natives kill themselves first. When Lu Qi freed up his hands and entered the Americas on a large scale in the future, a large number of leading parties would definitely be indispensable. The conquest will be smooth!

However, the reality disappointed him.

The Native Americans on the west coast of North America are not as numerous as those on the east coast, and they are quite aggressive. As mentioned earlier, it was difficult to develop agriculture in North America, where the indigenous people were nomadic peoples. These people are quite aggressive! Including Mexico, it's not very peaceful.

The collapse of the Mayan civilization has set back the level of indigenous Indian civilization in the entire region for countless years, and there may still be remnants of Mayan descendants and city-states in the coastal plains of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, but in the relatively inhospitable west, it is not bad to call them uncivilized barbarians.

So much so that today's Lu Qi's frontiers in North America and the east coast of Mexico are mainly based on conquest. Fortunately, the pioneer team that entered the Americas still has the blessing of 'Buddhism', just like Lu Qian thought, as soon as the hot air balloon came out, it was invincible.

One by one, the Indians turned into faithful believers in the two branches of Buddhism and Taoism, and it was precisely because of this that Lu Qi was able to quickly find a large silver mine in Mexico, and immediately put it into development, so as to develop a large gold mine on the west coast of North America.

Large sums of gold and silver continued to flow into Lu Qi's treasury, making Lu Qi sigh a lot: America is really beautiful, very beautiful!

Coupled with Emperor Lu's flickering 'remnants of Yin Shang', the vast majority of people in the country [only a few of his sons and a very small number of people with him who knew that Lu Qian was fooling] took a high look at the Indians, and it can be expected that the bilateral integration will be quite smooth in the future.
