Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 676, Tian Erniu's Trouble

Liu Jin was talking about not receiving news from Tian Erniu in Tianjin, but at this time Tian Erniu was in trouble in Zhongjinzhou and Nanjinzhou.

After Tian Erniu arrived at the Golden Isle, he began to build colonial strongholds along the west coast of the Golden Isle from north to south according to Liu Jin's instructions.

From the Qianhe City built at the northernmost Qianhekou to the Golden City built here at Golden Bay, all the way from north to south, in just a few months, more than a dozen large and small colonial strongholds were built. .

Larger ones like Qianhe City and Golden City have tens of thousands of people who have settled in them. These people from major commercial houses are like bandits and robbers. Once they settle down, they start looking for gold and silver in all directions. A large number of gold mines, The silver mine was found, and the frantic mining of gold and silver began.

Thousands of people settled in the smaller colonial strongholds. Relying on these more than a dozen large and small strongholds, plus thousands of large ships, the [-] people who followed Tian Erniu to the Golden Continent quickly spread across the entire North Golden Continent. The west coast spread.

On the one hand, a large number of gold mines and silver mines were discovered and quickly mined. On the other hand, they also began to contact a large number of local aborigines descended from Yin and Shang, and gained a deeper understanding of this vast land.

Most of the descendants of Yin and Shang are still in the very primitive and backward tribal stage, especially in the northern Golden Continent, they are all in the tribal stage.

Tribes, large and small, spread all over the North Golden Continent. These descendants of the Shang Dynasty were full of curiosity and friendly towards the arrival of the Ming people.

Tian Erniu and the others are also based on the principle of peaceful coexistence with these Yin Shang descendants, so they have a good relationship with these Yin Shang tribes, and they have friendly exchanges with each other.

Even if there are a few tribes that are more xenophobic, they are not the opponents of Tian Erniu and the others.

The society of the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was extremely backward, and each tribe was in the Stone Age, and the weapons they used were spears, wooden sticks, stone axes, and slingshots.

The Ming people led by Tian Erniu were armed to the teeth, with muskets, cannons, swords, and armors. For some unfriendly Yin Shang tribes, it didn't take many people to easily conquer them.

On the side of Jinjinzhou, Tian Erniu and the others lived a very chic life.

While building colonial strongholds, they began to reclaim land near the colonial strongholds, preparing to grow food here. Many ships that were not built by the Tianjin Shipyard were of poor quality. There was no way for everyone to return to Daming, so many people knew that they needed Stay here in Golden Continent for a few years.

Naturally, the nature of this kind of field will be brought into play, and a large amount of land will be reclaimed around the colonial strongholds, and at the same time, various things will be exchanged for food from the surrounding Yin Shang tribes.

In any case, the question of eating first is the most important.

Relying on the colonial strongholds, large-scale mining of gold and silver began again. The people in each business house hoarded a large amount of gold and silver, and they just waited for Tian Erniu to return to Daming to bring these huge wealth back.

As for how huge the number is, no one knows now. Everyone keeps it secret from each other, but everyone is smiling from ear to ear. It can be known that everyone who came to Golden Continent this time has made a fortune.

It went smoothly on the North Golden Continent, and then troubles began to appear after arriving in the Central Golden Continent.

Central Gold Continent, that is, Central America in later generations.

Here Tian Erniu and the others met the Aztecs who believed in the sun god. The Aztec kingdom was full of hostility towards Tian Erniu and the others. They did not allow Tian Erniu and the others to be on the territory of the Aztec kingdom. Build a colony.

But the Central Golden Continent is really important. It is the middle area between the north and the south Golden Continent, and more importantly, you can easily reach the east coast of the Golden Continent through here.

Of course, we all know that Mexico in later generations is the largest silver producer in the world, the most famous Saucito silver mine, and the Iwami silver mine in Japan are nothing compared to it.

Among the top ten silver mines with the largest output in the world in later generations, this area occupies more than half, which shows how high the silver output in this area is.

If you come after wealth, you can't let go of the silver here.

Except that the Aztec Kingdom in the Golden Continent did not allow Tian Erniu and the others to establish a colonial stronghold, the southern Golden Continent was also the Inca Empire that was later on the west coast of South America. Arrival is also hostile.

Like the Aztec Kingdom, the Inca Empire believed in the sun god and claimed to be the descendant of the sun god.

At this time, the Inca Empire was in its heyday, and their territory was very vast. It reached the Central Gold Continent in the north, almost connected with the Aztec Kingdom, and reached the southernmost position of Argentina in the south, and crossed the Andes in the east. Mountains, touching the fringes of the Amazon rainforest, are distributed throughout the Andes.

Like the Aztec Kingdom, the Inca Empire was also extremely rich, and the Andes Mountains also contained extremely rich gold and silver. Peru in later generations was even called the country of silver, which shows how large the silver reserves here are.

In history, the Spaniards invaded the Inca Empire, captured the emperor of the Inca Empire, and asked the Inca Emperor to exchange their emperor with a house of gold and two houses of silver.

In the end, the people on the side of the Inca Empire did so, but the emperor of the Inca Empire was still killed by the Spaniards. From this, we can know how rich the Inca Empire is.

Both the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire were hostile to the Ming people who did not believe in the sun god, and they did not allow Tian Erniu and the others to establish colonial strongholds along the way, which seriously affected Tian Erniu's execution of what Liu Jin had told him.

Liu Jin asked Tian Erniu to establish colonial strongholds from north to south to facilitate the colonization and development of the entire Golden Continent in the future.

The location of these two places is important. The key point is that there are a lot of gold and silver. Almost all the silver and gold in the entire Golden Continent are concentrated in these two areas.

The gold and silver on the North Golden Continent are nothing compared to here.

Historically, the Spaniards have continuously plundered countless amounts of silver and gold from these two places. As for the gold on the west coast of North Gold Island, it was only slowly developed by the Westward Movement after the founding of Uncle Sam. Three hundred years later.

In the sixteenth century, the Spaniards mainly plundered gold and silver in the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire.

Golden Bay Golden City here.

Tian Erniu called all the people in charge of Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. to discuss the next move.

"Everyone already knows the situation. The Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire do not allow us to build colonial strongholds along the coast, and they are very hostile to us, even though we have sent them a lot of gifts."

"According to the information we have now, these two places have the most gold and silver in the entire Golden Continent. As long as we can take these two places, we won't have to worry about gold and silver in the future."

"In addition, everyone knows Mr. Liu's order. He wants us to build a stronghold line from north to south on the west coast of Golden Island. Now these two places do not allow us to build strongholds. The way to explain it to Mr. Liu."

"It's already February of the [-]th year of Hongzhi. It is estimated that the young master has already started sending people to Huangjinzhou, and then we will know that we can't do things."

"Another point is that all the major commercial firms that came to the Golden Isle have made a fortune, and each of them has dug up crates and crates of gold and silver. Only our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company has been building colonial strongholds and has no energy. and time to mine gold and silver."

"Although the young master also said in advance that we are not required to bring back a lot of gold and silver, but the brothers followed all the way to the Golden Continent, you can't watch others eat and drink spicy food, but we didn't even get some soup, right? .”

Tian Erniu looked at the people in front of him, Zhao Houzi, Sha Xiong, Dahu, Jiang Liang, Gao Shan...these people are all the people in charge of Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. on the Golden Island side.

"Erniu, just tell me, what should we do?"

"We all listen to you."

Jiang Liang looked at the crowd and spoke directly.

"Yes, Er Niu, just tell us, we will listen to you, we will do whatever you say."

Shaxiong, Duo and others followed suit and nodded.

"It's very simple, then use force against the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire!"

"Since they are not willing, let's fight until they are willing to do it, and let them give us gold and silver, so that we don't have to work hard to mine and smelt, and just pick up ready-made ones."

Tian Erniujian everyone looked at him, thought for a while and said very domineeringly.

"Use force against the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help opening their mouths slightly.

They are very clear about these two empires. These are two very large empires with millions of people, far beyond the Yin and Shang tribes they have encountered before.

With just a few people in their hands, how could they have defeated two such huge empires?

"Yes, it is to use force against these two countries to let them know how powerful we Ming people are."

"Humph!"

"We went to talk to them in good spirits, but they didn't want to pay attention to us. We regarded them as the descendants of Yin and Shang, as our own people, but they said that we don't believe in any sun god, and tried their best to reject us and be hostile to us."

"Then we only need to use force to conquer them and let them know that we Daming people care about it."

Tian Erniu nodded solemnly and said.

"But can we win?"

　In history, Spain seems to have conquered the huge Inca Empire with a population of 200 million with a team of less than [-] robbers~
