Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 574 Indian's Eternal Vow
The North American continent is really rich in resources, and the newly discovered open-pit iron mine is also surprisingly large. The reddish-brown iron ore is really all over the mountains and plains.

The reason why this place has not been discovered for a long time is mainly due to the location problem.

Because this is the junction of the Algonquin tribe and the Iroquois tribe, it is six to seven thousand miles away from the capital of New Yin, and four to five thousand miles away from Quebec.

Moreover, this area is not very suitable for plant growth because there are too many iron ores. There is almost no grassland, and the woods are very sparse, and there are basically no prey.

This is not a good place for Indian tribes who live by hunting, so there are few people here, and there are basically no tribes nearby.

Taichang held up the binoculars and glanced around, and couldn't help exclaiming: "This open-pit iron mine is really big!"

This open-pit iron mine is really huge, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is estimated that it will not be completed after decades of digging.

Song Yingxing heard the words and couldn't help asking cautiously: "Your Majesty, then don't we need to buy iron ore from the Spaniards?"

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "No, we will continue to buy. There will be more places to use iron in the future. We don't want too much iron ore. We can keep it here and mine slowly. We will continue to buy Spanish iron ore. In the future, steel will also Don’t just refine as much as you need, we can store up more goods, so as not to run out when we need it urgently.”

Hearing this, Song Yingxing cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang then said to Peng Bin: "Yanru, we must hurry up about the canal.

At the moment, the Indian Tribal Alliance doesn't have much to do, except for farming or mining, which requires some people.

You can organize people to dig canals vigorously during the slack season, which is extremely important for their future development.

When the canal is almost dug, a shipyard will be built for them to build large water transport ships for inland waterways.

In this way, they can transfer materials through the waterways extending in all directions, which is very convenient. "

Peng Bin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Next, Taichang took a boat to the junction of the Cherokee and Iroquois tribes to look at the open-pit coal mines.

This open-pit coal mine is even more astonishingly large. It is really more than 2000 miles long, and the widest part of the north section is more than [-] miles wide.

It can be said that with this open-pit coal mine, the entire Ming Dynasty can last for hundreds of years, and it doesn't seem to matter whether there are coal mines in other places.

Of course, water transportation is not very developed at this moment, and cross-sea transportation is still a bit troublesome, and the amount of coal mining here is not very large, so it may take a few years to supply the local demand of Ming Dynasty.

It has been more than a month since the open-pit iron mine and open-pit coal mine were inspected, and he didn't even have time to visit the gold mine.

At this time, he really had to rush back, otherwise it would be too late to go back for the New Year.

The matters on the North American continent are almost handled, and the last thing left is to gather the great elders of the [-] dependent countries together to give them a lesson.

He directly set the gathering place at the capital of Eastern Yin.

Because the railway from Suda City to the capital city of Eastern Yin has been completed at this moment, the elders of most of the vassal states can take boats from various tributaries of the New Liao River to Suda City, and then take the train to the capital city of New Yin.

As for the great elders of the Iroquois and Cherokee tribes on the east coast, they can directly send an Aegis ship to Xinliaoyang City, and then it will be very convenient to transfer to Suda City on a Spike warship. Just take your time.

This time, he did not take a detour through the Tonghai Grand Canal, because it would take more than 2 miles to make a detour, which would be too time-consuming.

He directly ordered Zhang Yuanfang to set off first in a dreadnought with 200 Aegis ships, [-] dragon-tooth warships and more than [-] wolf-tooth warships. All civil servants and military generals, the Great Elder of Nanqi Kingdom, headed straight for Suda City on a Spike warship from Xinliao River.

It is indeed much more convenient to go this way. In about ten days, they arrived at Suda City, and from Suda City to Xinyin Capital City by train, it was more than 25 li. Also enough.

Before he arrived at the capital of New Yin, more than half of the elders from the [-] vassal countries in North America had already gathered. The elders from the six countries of the Algonquin tribe and the three kingdoms of the Sioux had already gathered in the capital of New Yin. Almost all the great elders from Qi Kingdom and Xiqi Kingdom also arrived.

In order to welcome this grand event, Huang Daozhou specially ordered people to build a huge dining hall that can accommodate two to 3000 people next to the guest house in the Governor's Mansion, and also ordered people to prepare a lot of good wine and food for these people. Great Elder.

Every day when it's time to eat, the dining hall is extremely lively.

These great elders were talking about the great changes brought about by the Ming Dynasty, such as the strong city and comfortable houses, the herds of cattle and sheep, the endless fields, and various daily necessities.

It has only been more than a year, and their lives have really undergone earth-shaking changes.

At noon that day, in the huge dining hall of the North American Governor's Mansion Guest House, thousands of Great Elders were blushing from drinking, Su Feng, the Great Elder of Su Daguo, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, Great Elders, listen to me."

He was Crazy Horse, the famous chief of the Sioux. After Taichang gave the Sioux a surname, he changed his name.

Of course, it was impossible for him to change his name to Su Crazy Horse. For this reason, he specially consulted the officials of the Ministry of Rites who taught them, and changed his name to Su Feng after taking the homonym of "Crazy".

He is quite famous among the Sioux tribe and even the various Indian tribes, because he led thousands of Sioux warriors to fight the invaders on the Nebras Prairie for several months. It can be regarded as one of the greatest battles of Indian tribes against invaders.

Such a great hero is naturally respected by the great elders of all tribes, and everyone naturally listens to his words.

Almost instantly, the huge dining hall fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, Su Feng said impassionedly: "You should all know what Daming brought us and how much the Emperor of Ming helped us.

If there is no Great Ming, without the help of the Great Ming Emperor, our major tribes will probably be wiped out by the invaders.

Without Da Ming, without the help of the Emperor of Ming, how could we live such a good life.

We must remember this kindness and always remember it.

Therefore, I propose that when the Emperor Ming gives a speech, we make an eternal oath in the ancient tradition of our Indian tribe.

From then on, our major Indian tribal alliances will always be loyal to Daming and His Majesty the Emperor of Ming. If anyone dares to break the oath, we will destroy him together! "

"Good, good, good!"

After these great elders drank, their blood boiled and they couldn't be themselves. In addition, they were also the generation who knew how to repay their kindness. They all felt very good about this oath, and it was very necessary.

All of a sudden, the entire dining hall was overwhelmed by applause.

After hearing Huang Daozhou's report, Taichang was naturally very pleased.

Although his main purpose was to use these Indian tribes to change the world pattern, he did indeed save these Indian tribes.

Without his arrival, these Indian tribes would have been wiped out by the European colonial robbers!

Therefore, for these Indian tribes, he is indeed their savior.

These people know how to repay their kindness.

On the first day of December in the Ming calendar, the capital of Eastern Yin was snowing heavily.

If it were the same as before, the Indian tribes would be too cold to go out in this kind of weather.

At this moment, all the great elders of the tribal alliance were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and brand-new official uniforms, and they were neatly arranged on the square in the middle of the palace.

When Taichang arrived, more than two thousand elders all respectfully prostrated themselves on the ground according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

This scene was like returning to the mainland of Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but nodded slightly, then raised his hand to let everyone stand up, and taught them a good lesson.

His general meaning is to let the Indian tribes live in harmony, unite as one, and jointly resist foreign humiliation, while cherishing the hard-won good days, developing well, and striving for a better life.

The elders of the major Indian tribal alliances respectfully listened to the hadith, and then went up to the mountain to shout, and then they all got up and danced the ancient dance.

To be honest, it's a bit strange to dance this kind of dance in Ming Dynasty's official robe.

However, Taichang didn't say anything, because he knew that this is the way Indians have passed down since ancient times, and these people are going to make a permanent vow.

These Great Elders danced like crazy for nearly half an hour, and then piously lay down on the ground in circles one after another.

Everyone sincerely swears that from now on, the major Indian tribal alliances will always be loyal to Daming and His Majesty the Emperor of Ming. If anyone dares to break the oath, all the tribal alliances will attack him and destroy him!
