Chapter 2267, Severely Assimilated Indians
Golden Island East Penglai City.

Penglai City is divided into East and West Penglai City. The distance between the two cities is only a few hundred kilometers, which is the narrowest place in the Golden Continent.

The Ming Empire started to colonize from the West Golden Continent. Later, in order to consolidate its rule and colonization on the east coast of the Golden Continent, it also focused on the development of Penglai City.

Colonial sites were built in the east and west, and gradually developed into the current East and West Penglai City. The scale of the East and West Penglai City is getting bigger and bigger, and there are railways and roads connecting the two places, the traffic is extremely convenient, and A Golden Island Canal was also built here at the position of the later Panama Canal here in the Golden Island.

In this way, it is convenient for the travel and communication between the east and west coasts of Huangjinzhou, and it is also convenient for ships to travel, which greatly saves the distance and time of sailing.

The Huangjinzhou Canal is also listed on the Tianjin Stock Exchange like the Egyptian Canal, and it has also become a stock that everyone likes to invest in very much.

Because the entire Golden Isle Canal belongs to the Ming Empire, it is more stable and safer than the Egyptian Canal. Its market value has reached 2 million taels of silver, making it a big leader in the Tianjin Stock Exchange.

East and West Penglai City is the most prosperous and the largest scale.

It is located in Penglai Bay (the Gulf of Mexico in later generations), which is the central area of ​​the Golden Continent and also the east-line transit point for trade with Europe, with extremely developed commerce and trade.

At this moment, Liu Jin was standing on a restaurant in Penglai City overlooking the entire Penglai City and Penglai Bay.

As an emerging city, Penglai City has a history of only a few decades. The planning of the new city is very orderly, scattered and square.

There are many high-rise buildings, especially in the commercial district of Penglai City. The tall buildings are taller than each other. At night, the lights are bright. Big business houses around the world.

Although with the westward expansion of the Ming Empire, the territory was expanded to Eastern Europe, trade with Europe is now mainly transferred to safer land routes.

The sea route through the Golden Continent has gradually declined relatively, and there are not so many ships traveling between Europe and the Golden Continent.

However, here is still one of the very important foreign trade points. Every year, a large number of commodities are still sold to Europe through here. At the same time, commodities from Europe, mainly slaves, are also continuously imported into the Golden Continent for the mining of the Golden Continent. Plantations brought in a steady stream of labor.

Although the industry here in the Golden Continent is far from comparable to that of the Ming Empire, the Golden Continent is an important grain-producing area. The Great Plains in the middle of the North Golden Continent is one of the few fertile plains in the world, and it is the most suitable area for developing agriculture. .

Although the level of development here is still very low, the grain it produces has already far exceeded the local demand of the Golden Continent, and a large amount of this grain is sold to Europe, African states, and colonies.

Food exports are a very important economy here!

In addition, Huangjinzhou is also a huge meat warehouse. There is a vast and fertile grassland in South Huangjinzhou, which is one of the best grasslands in the world.

The Ming Empire migrated a large number of nomads to the South Golden Continent for grazing. At the same time, it also vigorously developed the large farm economy and encouraged Han immigrants to develop fixed-point animal husbandry.

At the same time, here in the North Golden Continent, there is also a large area of ​​land that has not been cultivated, and it is also used as a pasture, and there are also a large number of herdsmen grazing here.

Under these factors, the rapid development of animal husbandry in Huangjinzhou was also promoted. The unique natural environment, coupled with the vast land and sparse population, made the animal husbandry here very famous in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The beef and mutton produced in the Golden Continent are not only of high quality, but also extremely cheap, and are sold in large quantities to colonies and vassal states in Africa.

As a result, the local animal husbandry in many feudal states and colonies could not develop at all, because even the cattle and sheep transported from the Golden Island are cheaper than the local cattle and sheep, and you simply cannot compete.

Although agriculture and animal husbandry are well developed, the real biggest industry here in Huangjinzhou is the mining industry!

From the first batch of gold diggers who arrived in the Golden Isle, until now, the gold craze in the Golden Isle has not faded, and it is still very hot.

Here in Huangjinzhou, everyone seems to have a heart for gold mining. Everyone wants to be an explorer, to explore the unknown world, and to find exciting treasures and wealth.

The earliest gold and silver started, and now oil, copper ore, iron ore, diamond ore, etc. are gradually added. There are various versions of legends circulating throughout the Golden Continent.

There are too many, too many stories of getting rich overnight.

Here in Penglai City, you can even see the protagonists in many stories, relying on a few horses, a few people, and a few guns to run around, find a gold mine, and walk to the pinnacle of life from then on. He has become the protagonist of people's scrambling legends.

The mining industry in Gold Island is extremely developed.

Not only are there so many large and small mines, but more importantly, the mining industry here in Huangjinzhou is gradually adopting mechanized mining, and the technology is getting more and more advanced, with the world's most advanced exploration technology and mining technology.

Even if the people of Huangjinzhou who are obsessed with the golden dream want to study, they naturally have to study majors and fields related to mining, even here in Penglai City.

These local Ming people in Huangjinzhou also spent money to build a Huangjinzhou University of Mining and Technology. All the majors in it are related to mining. They specialize in cultivating mining technology, researching exploration and mining technology, and cultivating talents in this field.

Under the impetus of many conditions, Huangjinzhou produces a large amount of gold, silver, copper, oil, tin and other precious metals or minerals every year.

Not to mention gold and silver, this is hard currency, and it is everyone's favorite thing in this period.

The importance of copper is becoming more and more prominent.

Especially with the rapid development of the electrical industry, the demand for copper has rapidly expanded at once. The price of copper has also risen and become more and more expensive. Copper mining has also become extremely profitable.

The value of copper mines is getting higher and higher, and the Ming people are looking for and mining copper mines all over the world like crazy.

In the past, copper was monopolized by the imperial court, and private individuals could not mine copper, let alone mint copper coins, but now they are gradually liberalized. There are no restrictions.

No way, copper is an important resource. It is widely used in the electrical industry. Copper is indispensable in every aspect. It is impossible not to relax the restrictions.

Abundant resources, unique and superior natural conditions, and backed by the powerful empire of the Ming Empire, the development speed of the Golden Continent is very fast. In terms of the entire Ming Dynasty, the development speed of the Golden Continent can be ranked in the forefront.

This also created the prosperity of Penglai City, making Penglai City bigger and bigger, more and more prosperous and lively.

But right now Liu Jin doesn't have much interest in the prosperity of Penglai City.

Here in Penglai City, Liu Jin has come for the second time.

The last time I accompanied Emperor Hongzhi to Huangjinzhou, I also visited this East Penglai City, and lived in Tian Erniu's house for a while, and spent a New Year here in Penglai City.

At that time, Penglai City was already quite prosperous and lively, and now it is even more prosperous and lively than before.

The Ming people here in the Golden Continent are mainly concentrated in a small number of immigrant towns. Penglai City has a population of several million people and is the largest city in the Golden Continent.

The total population of the entire Golden Continent has exceeded 3000 million. Of course, it is worthy of the Han people here. As for the population of the local descendants of Yin and Shang, it is impossible to count this.

The Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire were vassal states of the Ming Empire, and the population statistics of the Ming Empire did not include the population of vassal states, colonies, and vassal states.

Such a huge population is mainly due to the fact that the Ming people in Golden Continent are so fertile.

The Ming people here basically have a few concubines who are descendants of the Shang Dynasty, and they will buy some female slaves from Europe, so that they can not only work and farm for themselves, but also bear children for themselves.

Coupled with the rapid development of the medical technology of the Ming Empire, especially after the discovery of penicillin, the mortality rate of newborns and the premature death rate of children in the Ming Dynasty were greatly reduced.

The combination of these factors also led to the rapid expansion of the population of the Ming Empire, especially the population growth rate in the Golden Continent was even more terrifying.

In just a few decades, the population of Golden Continent has grown explosively from tens of thousands at the beginning to a huge population of 3000 million. This speed is really too fast.

The population of more than 3000 million is basically concentrated in a small number of urban areas. This is also the rapid development of the towns in the Golden Continent. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and it is also getting more and more prosperous and lively.

When he was in it, Liu Jin could clearly feel that Penglai City was more lively and noisy than when he came here.

Looking carefully at the people in the streets and alleys, one can clearly feel the strong mixed-blood atmosphere here.

If you look around casually, you can see a large number of blond people wearing Daming costumes, speaking fluent Daming dialect, and calling everyone around them brothers and sisters. Not quite like the Ming people.

Maybe the waiter in the store, the pork guy who sells pork on the street, or the driver who pulls the goods and drives, these people are all blond and blue-eyed.

In later generations, they would definitely be called foreigners, but here, they are all locals and Ming people.

Because their father is from Daming, they have received the humanistic influence, education, etc. from Daming since they were young. Half of the blood of Ming people is also flowing in their blood. Apart from a slightly different skin, they are no different from Daming people. .

Mixed race is very common here.

Except for those who were different in appearance and could be seen to be of mixed blood, most of them were mixed blood between Daming people and descendants of Yin and Shang.

These people can't see any difference at all, because there is almost no difference in appearance between the descendants of the local Shang Dynasty and the people of Ming Dynasty.

Children from mixed races can't tell the difference at all. Those with black eyes and black hair are the most mixed race people, and they can't be distinguished at all.

Of course, here in the Golden Continent, people don't distinguish between them, and they don't care about it. It doesn't matter whether they are mixed or not. The important thing is that they only need to be of Ming Dynasty.

As long as they accept the education, ideology and culture of Daming, that's fine. As for the others, it seems that they are really not important to the people of Daming.

Liu Jin didn't spend long time here in Penglai City. What he really wanted to visit now was the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire.

Under the invasion of European colonists, these two Indian countries eventually disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only a few relics telling about the great civilization and great civilization that once appeared on this land. country.

Now because of Liu Jin, the traverser, the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire have been preserved and continued perfectly, and they have become vassal states of the Ming Empire.

The development of these two kingdoms descended from Yin and Shang has also become rapid.

The first is population. Historically, because Europeans brought diseases such as smallpox to the Americas, they almost wiped out the indigenous Indians on the American continent.

During the process of colonizing the Golden Continent, the Ming people also brought diseases such as smallpox and plague, which once killed a large number of people in these two countries.

But fortunately, the Daming Empire provided rescue and medical support in a timely manner, allowing these two countries to survive. Later, the exchanges and trade with the Ming Empire became more frequent.

The most important thing is that these two countries are constantly learning from the Ming people and gradually accepting the assimilation of the Ming people. They learn the language, characters and knowledge of the Ming people, and gradually accept the customs and living habits of the Ming people.

All these made the local natives recover quickly. Not only did the population not decrease, but it started to grow rapidly like the Ming people.

The idea and concept of having more children and more blessings has also been passed on to the local aborigines. With medical technology and sufficient food, it is difficult for this population to grow.

The second is in the progress of culture and society.

The former native Indians were more or less brutal and bloody. It can be seen from their extensive use of living sacrifices that their civilization level is still very low.

On the land in the east, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the bad habit of burying living people had been gradually abandoned, but here in Huangjinzhou, sacrificing living people was very popular.

If it doesn’t rain, some people will be sacrificed, and if there is a plague, it will be even more large-scale sacrifices. If the dog eats the sun, it will be terrible, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of people will be sacrificed.

Such large-scale and frequent barbaric human sacrifices have resulted in the low level of civilization development in the Golden Continent, which is why they cannot fight against the European invaders.

Also facing the European invaders, on the soil of the East, no matter if it is the Ming people, the Koreans or the Japanese people, they can deal with it freely, and there will be no early and comprehensive colonization as in the Americas and Africa.

The reason is that the level of civilization development in America and Africa is low, and most areas are still in the primitive tribal stage, and have not yet developed into a feudal society.

When faced with colonists from Europe, they are often helpless, and they are easily colonized by European colonies at a very small cost.

This is the source of tragedy in Africa and America throughout history.

Now, history has undergone tremendous changes. The people of Daming on the Golden Continent are advocating that these Indians are descendants of Yin and Shang, and they share a common ancestor with the people of Ming.

It's just that their ancestors made a mistake, that's why they were exiled to the Golden Continent by the gods. As long as they are willing to submit devoutly and learn everything about the Ming people, they can also return to become noble Ming people.

This kind of propaganda idea gradually became popular here in Huangjinzhou, and was accepted by the local aborigines. This learning from the advanced civilization of Daming also drove the development of local civilization and society in Huangdizhou.

Many big cities in the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire are almost full of strong Ming style, and sometimes you even think that you are in a city of the Ming people.

Because whether it is the style of the surrounding buildings, or people's clothing, diet, etc., almost all of them have been Ming-style, and even electric lights, which have not been used by Europeans, have begun to become popular in some big cities.

And Ming people like to watch football, and they like it too. There are also a lot of football fields, and Ming people's movies are also very popular here.

It can be said that almost all aspects have been completely Mingized, and the entire civilization has rapidly transformed from a primitive and backward barbaric civilization to the most advanced civilization on this planet in this era.

In the Kingdom of Aztec and the Inca Empire, you can see concrete roads extending in all directions, and you can also see a large number of cars running at high speed.

You can see people with status and status in these two countries drinking tea and reciting poems, talking about the world, ancient and modern events, and discussing global current affairs and politics.

Their living standards have far exceeded those of Europeans, Middle Easterners, Ottomans, and Persians during this period.

Everything is on par with the Ming people, learning from the Ming people, plus it is a vassal state of the Ming Empire, relying on rich mineral resources, etc., the speed of development is very fast.

Liu Jin originally wanted to find some ancient relics, ancient civilizations, etc. in these two kingdoms, and carefully study the true origins of these descendants of Yin Shang in Huangjinzhou.

But when I arrived in the cities of these two countries, I felt dull and disappointed, because except for a few pyramids, almost everything else was no different from Ming Dynasty.
