Chapter 1481 The Exploitation Method of the Empire

"How wonderful I am as the governor of New Spain, so this is it!"

With the information he asked, General Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

With the continuation of the southward movement and the increase of conflicts with the Spaniards, the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which has only been heard but not personally contacted, has become a thorn in everyone's heart.

According to intelligence, the Viceroyalty of New Spain has a pivotal position in Spain and is also an important cornerstone for Spain to dominate Europe.

One can imagine the difficulty of fighting such a behemoth.

After all, they are far away from their homeland, so it is not easy to get support.

However, after receiving conclusive information this time, everyone suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the behemoth in the European population.

Although the entire Governorate of New Spain is governed by the king's cronies and a prince as the vice-governor, and rules an area almost as large as Middle-earth, the regular army has only about 5000 people, and they are distributed in a vast area.

Although the Spanish colonists also had combat effectiveness, what was the difference from the immigrants of the empire?
There are many immigrants in the empire, and all of them have mastered fighting skills.

How many troops does the empire currently have in the New World?
Not much.

Just two security guards, in the early [-]s!
According to the experience gained from fighting the Spanish army in Luzon, a security division is enough to deal with five times the Spanish army.

As a result, the Viceroyalty of New Spain had only [-] troops.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that we still have too few warships, I'd like to fight directly."

Fu Xinyuan also had the same attitude.

Worrying for many years that the Governor-General of New Spain is not worthy of its name, one can imagine the anger in his stomach.

Fortunately, Wu put his complaints to complaints, but he was still relatively calm.

"The governorship of New Spain is not terrible, but we are afraid that if we attack here and recruit Spanish troops from other areas, we will not be able to bear it."

Fu Xinyuan also woke up from his anger and nodded in agreement.

Spain has four major governorships in the New World, and it can also transfer troops from the mainland.If you really want to come with the power of the whole country, they really can't beat it.

The unification war is going on in the country, and even the northern military region is involved, so there is really no way to reinforce here.

"Then talk to the Spaniards. When the number of our warships increases, it will be useless for the Spaniards to have more troops."

Today's imperial people have understood the essence of overseas colonization and development.

Everything is fake, only the boat is real.

Whoever has the most ships is king.

Because with more ships, you can control the ocean, making it difficult for your opponent to move an inch.

Now there are only seven third-tier battleships in San Francisco. Although they are powerful, they are not enough in number, and they are easily harassed by the Spaniards with their numerous ships.

But when the number of Tier [-] battleships increases to [-], and the entire fleet exceeds [-] ships, it will be a matter of changing offense and defense.

After confirming the construction of the city, Xinhua City began to immigrate and transport supplies.

Lu Xinze from the Lu family rushed over in person.

Lu Xinze is Lu Hao's nephew.

Ever since Zuo Menggeng got the formula for making cement, the Lu family began to expand rapidly, and their wealth increased rapidly.

Now Lujia's industries spread all over the country, and they expanded along with the expansion of the empire.

As a result, it developed and developed, and Lu Hao suddenly discovered that it had reached a level that he couldn't control.

This era is different from later generations, there are no advanced means of communication and transportation.Remote control becomes extremely difficult when the distance is a little farther away.

In addition, the wealth accumulated by the Lu family is also enviable.

So Lu Hao gritted his teeth, called a few brothers, and simply separated.

Separation in the true sense.

Except that everyone is still relatives, the industries of each family are no longer integrated.

Each operates its own business and is responsible for its own profits and losses.

Lu Xinze is also a ruthless person.

After the separation, they didn't need business, they just wanted money and technology.

Then he started looking for investment everywhere.

After receiving capital injections from Royal, Wang Shizhong, Zhang Haogu, Songjiang Prefecture Panjia and Qujia, Fujian Chen Ding and others, Lu Xinze came to the New World.

For his arrival, Alaska is really happy.

Now Lu Xinze has named his company Dongdayang Construction Engineering Group.

The group has three branches under the jurisdiction of Dongdayang Cement Factory, Dongdayang Brick and Tile Factory and Dongdayang Construction Group, which provide assistance for engineering construction.

Xinhua City can be said to be the achievement of Dongdayang Group.

Now that San Francisco was going to be built, Lu Xinze came here in person.

"Xinhua City is still too far away, and it's not cost-effective to transport construction materials. I plan to build a branch here, and the provincial governor must find a good place for me."

Fu Xinyuan laughed, pointing to the barren land and said: "You know the relevant requirements for building a factory. There are plenty of places, you can choose whatever you want."

This is not what Lu Xinze cares about.

"It's easy to build a factory, but I need workers. Can you give me the new batch of immigrants?"

Speaking of this, Fu Xinyuan also had a headache.

"Nowadays, the number of immigrants coming out of the country is really not enough. We can get even less here in Alaska. This batch is only less than 10 people. If they are all given to you, what is the use of building this city? How about this, I will give you half. The missing part, you recruit from the local aborigines."

"The natives don't understand anything, and they have to start teaching from scratch, which is too late."

Lu Xinze was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but he also knew that it was the only way at present.

There is really a shortage of people everywhere, and every place is green in order to grab people's attention.

The distance to the New World is the farthest, and the cost of immigration is the highest, so it can only be ranked last, and it cannot compete with other places.

For the natives of the New World, this approach is undoubtedly a great thing.

This can help them integrate into a more advanced society as soon as possible, master more advanced technologies, and greatly improve their living standards.

This is also one of the reasons why the empire is unwilling to follow the path of Western colonists.

Western colonists just regarded these places as fat sheep for plundering wealth, and they didn't care about the development of these places that had been brought under their rule.

At the beginning of the colonial movement, this really helped Western countries earn massive wealth and greatly enhanced their national strength.

However, after a period of development in each colony, the colonists and the locals gradually merged, and they became dissatisfied with the plunder of the suzerain country.

This also provided conditions for the vigorous development of the independence movement in the future.

In the end, these places broke away from Western colonial rule and established independent countries one after another.It also caused these old colonial empires to gradually decline and withdraw from the forest of world powers.

Zuo Menggeng learned a lesson from it.

Every time a land is occupied, a land is developed.Enhance the sense of belonging in the new territory through a softer way, so that we can be sure of long-term stability.
