Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 502: Small Investment, Big Return
In fact, the new capital city of Yin has not been completely built yet.

The reason why Cordoba saw the neat houses in the city, as if they were completely completed, was because the exteriors of all the houses had already been completed, and Taichang had someone tidy them up before he came.

In fact, the interior of most buildings is still rough, and some are still made.

However, at this moment, the capital of Xinyin has gradually become lively. Not only envoys from various tribes came to pay tribute in an endless stream, but also many civilians from nearby tribes came to see the news.

Look at the huge city here, the huge warships of the Ming Dynasty, or even the drills of the Ming army, the novel buildings in the city, etc.

Anyway, at this moment, the nearby tribes basically have horses. Even if a tribe can bring one or two people here at a time, it can't support the nearby tribes.

Moreover, Taichang had already ordered the people of the Albena Tribe to release news that anyone who fled from the south, who did not belong to the Algonquin Tribe, lost their food source, or belonged to the Algonquin Tribe, and suffered from disasters and could not eat enough Wait, you can go outside the city of Xinyin to get food.

Of course, ordinary people who come here to visit can also pick them up, and even people from the Albena tribe will ride horses in the wilderness to look for escaped people and bring them outside the capital of New Yin.

The food here is free, two meals a day, just go to the city gate to get it.

On both sides of each city gate, there are rows of large iron pots set up by Ming soldiers to cook things there.

This is actually similar to the disaster relief in Northwest Daming.

However, the food here is better, in addition to porridge, there are also fish and shrimp.

There is no way, the fish and shrimp resources near here are too rich, and they have never been caught.

The Indian tribes here don't know how to build big boats in the sea, and they can't catch them, while the Spanish colonists are too busy with things on land, so they don't even think about catching fish in the sea.

In this case, the abundance of fishery resources in the nearby sea area can be imagined.

Fifty large fishing boats go out to fish casually for a day, and the fish and shrimps they catch are millions of catties.

The soldiers of the Ming army couldn't finish eating so many fish and shrimp, and at this moment, the Indian tribe had no currency, so it was impossible to afford it.

Therefore, Taichang simply ordered people to cook it for the common people or hungry people here for free.

He seems to have invested a lot in doing this, but in fact, this little food is nothing to the current Daming.

At this moment, there are only tens of thousands of people gathered outside the capital of Xinyin, and the food consumed is nothing compared to the original disaster relief in the Northwest.

However, he can reap huge rewards in doing so.

Because people in Indian tribes have never encountered such a good thing. In the past, all tribes were basically able to make ends meet. Who would distribute free food to them, and it was distributed every day.

No matter how hospitable they are, no matter how nice they are, they don't give out so much food to others.

Even the largest tribe on this continent cannot afford the consumption of tens of thousands of people.

Now, Daming not only distributes food for free, but even sends people to the wilderness to search for escaped people. This is equivalent to saving many lives!
They are not white-eyed wolves, they are naturally grateful for the life-saving grace, and they praise all the chiefs every day, praise his kindness, and praise his generosity.

Once these people spread out and return to their original territory and their own tribe, he might be proclaimed as a god-like existence by these people.

Sometimes, reputation is still very important, especially for someone like him who wants to control this continent in a different way.

If he was as infamous as the European colonists, it would be good if the Indian tribes didn't fight desperately, who would foolishly send envoys to pay tribute, and who would agree to be a vassal of Ming Dynasty.

Now his reputation is getting louder and louder, especially after he helped the Sioux regain a large territory.

That is really a huge territory, because a single stronghold of the invaders can threaten the surrounding area of ​​three or four hundred miles.

Originally, such a large area could accommodate at least ten or twenty tribes living in it.

However, once the invaders established their strongholds and began to suppress them, the smaller tribes had to run away quickly, and the medium-sized and large tribes could not last for a few years.

The colonists advanced in this way, and there was nothing they could do.

Because once people established a stronghold, built a city or a fortress, they couldn't be pulled out no matter how many people attacked, it was basically the same as sending them to death.

And once people come out from the stronghold to clean up, basically no tribe can carry it, they can only move and hide.

Anyway, as long as they establish a stronghold and stand firm, the tribes with a radius of three or four hundred miles will be cleaned up by them sooner or later, and they will have no way to survive on their own territory.

Well now, with Daming's support, they were finally able to pull out the invaders' stronghold and regain their territory.

After the chief Red Bull and Elder One Horn of the Milikaki tribe arrived at the New Yin Capital with the Daming Fleet, bursts of cheers erupted from the east, south, and north sides of the New Yin Capital.

Not long after Taichang returned to the capital of Yin, it happened to be dinner time, and the sound of Mingjin came from all the gates of the city.

This means to inform the hungry people or civilians outside the city that meals are ready.

After thinking for a while, Taichang led a group of expert guards to ride outside the city gate, personally checked the food made by the soldiers of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp, and carefully looked at the situation of the hungry people outside the city.

This was a terrible moment. As soon as he was recognized, the hungry people queuing up to receive food fell to the ground. I don’t know how many people were grateful.

The reason why he came out to take a look was for show, but he also really wanted to see the situation of the hungry people outside the city.

Although the hungry people don't have to go hungry now, they still don't have a place to live.

Anyway, the weather is good at this moment, most of the hungry people just find some branches to build a shed, cover with some leaves or something, just make do with it.

This will be troublesome if the weather turns cold.

Taichang looked at the hungry people lying on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

These are also his subjects, so we can't ignore them.

He hastily raised his hand, telling everyone to get up and continue to receive food, and then rode back to the palace, summoning all the sailors and infantry generals to discuss in the meeting hall.

He directly pointed to the map on the table and introduced: "Judging from the situation of the recovered stronghold, the Spaniards should abide by the agreement, pretend to be invincible, and withdraw from the territory of the Apache and Sioux.

Next, we can help the Apache and Sioux fully regain their territory.

However, just in case, we still have to send people to follow them to hold the line.

In case the Spaniards in any stronghold are unwilling to retreat, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, we must send people to hold the line in the back, in case the Apache tribe and the Sioux tribe suffer a large number of casualties.

My plan is to help the Sioux regain all their territory first, and then help the Apache tribe.

Because the territory of the Sioux people is in the central and western part of North America, which is relatively close to the capital of Xinyin, while the territory of the Apache tribe is far away. Except for the scattered tribes who fled here, most of the other tribes are still off the east coast of North America.

Therefore, we can only help the Sioux first, and then the Apache.

The problem is, we don’t have enough war horses. The strongholds on the seaside are fine. Just use ships to pull the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion to hold the formation. For the inland strongholds, we divide the existing war horses, and each stronghold At most two to 300 people can be sent.

With such a small number of people, it is estimated that there are not as many people as there are in other strongholds.

Moreover, once someone hides in the city fortress and resists stubbornly, at least three or four times the number of people must surround them to defeat them.

Do you have any suggestions on this. "

This problem is indeed quite troublesome, because they only have more than 4000 war horses at the moment, and the Spaniards have more than [-] strongholds in the territory of the Sioux, of which there are only a few by the sea, and most of them are inland.

Once they disperse the war horses, two or three hundred people can go to each stronghold. In case the Spaniards resist stubbornly, it will be really troublesome.

Sun Chuanting thought for a while, and then suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we send a fleet to Wen Guogong's mansion to pick up the horses first?
Didn't we already send ships to summon Wen Guogong to find a way to mobilize [-] war horses from Liaodong and Beizhili? Calculate the time, it should be almost the same.

We are now sending armed merchant ships over there, and we should be able to pick up the [-] war horses there. "

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "This is too time-consuming, sending armed merchant ships back to pick up the horses will take at least a month.

At that time, the weather will start to turn cold, and the Apache and Sioux people don't know how many people have fled outside. Once winter comes, it will be a disaster for those people.

Therefore, we must help them regain their territory as soon as possible, so that they have a place to live. "

Uh, that's it.

Sun Chuanting heard the words, couldn't help but sighed slightly, and fell into deep thought again.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we divide the more than [-] war horses into three groups, then start from the west coast, push them across, and lead the Sioux people to regain their territory all the way."

Hearing this, Taichang thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "This is a bit slow, not to mention the Apache tribe, the Spanish stronghold on the Sioux territory alone is at least four to five thousand miles away from the coastline.

Such a long distance, even if it is directly hit the horse, it will take about 20 to [-] days.

It will take at least two months to push forward step by step in this way, and it will be winter by then.

Next, we will help the Apache tribe regain their territory, which may have to be delayed until next year. "

Uh, that's not okay, is it?

Then take a risk.

Lu Xiangsheng stretched out his finger and drew on the map: "Your Majesty, then we will divide more than 1000 war horses into two large groups and more than ten small groups to march at the same time. These two large groups, each with more than [-] people, are located in the central area. Support with the center in the west.

100 people from other groups went directly to the Spanish stronghold and organized the Sioux tribe to rush to seize the stronghold.

If the Spaniards dared to resist stubbornly, it would take at most three or four days for the soldiers in the middle to support them in the past.

In this way, we should be able to help the Sioux regain all their territories within a month. "

Not a bad idea.

After all, the Spaniards are basically unlikely to hold back stubbornly, even if there are, there are only one or two strongholds at most.

It should be enough to divide the two major routes into the center for support.

Taichang thought about it carefully, then nodded decisively: "Very well, let's do it like this."
