Chapter 797 Get Water
Chen Mu said, "It's fair."

He was not as distraught as Shao Tingda imagined, and he was even happy to provide all the convenience to Chief White Horse, and signed an agreement with the eight leaders of White Horse Alliance on the spot.

The agreement allowed the eight tribes of the White Horse Alliance to come out of the deep mountains and move to Agang, establish a village in the north of Daojun Temple, and become the people here.

On this basis, Chen Mu provided the White Horse Alliance with a payment of 200 million cocoa beans, including a loan of [-] million and the price difference for the purchase of Andalusian mares for its trade with the northern tribes. At the same time, the two parties also made an agreement , the White Horse Alliance needs to sell goods other than necessities to Agang within six months.

The profits obtained will be used to purchase Qianhusuo military supplies including [-] matchlock guns and the training expenses of Ming army instructors. The Baima League will be reorganized into Changsheng Zuo Qianhusuo six months later.

In the agreement, Agang was renamed as Changsheng County, Changsheng Port, Changsheng Town and Changshengwei for the first time.

Chen Mu has always planned to change the name of Acapulco. Just as the Spaniards ignored the Indians' appellation of the place and named it their own, he didn't think it was necessary for him to follow in the footsteps of the Spaniards and let the place continue to inherit the name.

This is an excellent opportunity. With the White Horse Alliance moving out from the deep mountains, the population of the Land of Ever Victory has reached more than [-]. If the mountain tribes in the south are included, the population will expand to [-].

Even in the Ming Dynasty, with a population close to [-] households, it was not a small county.

Chen Mu is not jealous of the reselling business brought about by the whimsical idea of ​​the white horse. There are loopholes in the economic environment he designed. Focus on.

But at this moment, it's not that important, it's a one-shot job.

Limited to the growth environment of cocoa trees, the place where cocoa beans are used as currency is only the central area of ​​the original Aztec territory. Under the implementation of Changsheng County, cocoa beans will soon withdraw from the currency system in this area, and it will be natural to resell them at that time There is no way to make a profit.

What he cared more about was the White Horse Alliance. After seeing the fighting power of the Ming army, they agreed to settle in the port and become common people without any persuasion. The large-scale influx of people into Changsheng County is naturally a good thing, but the pressure on public security and price changes that followed , Survival pressure is what he needs to worry about more.

Compared with the long-distance trek of the eight leaders of the White Horse Alliance, Zheng Tu at Zhuangyuan Bridge was much more relaxed. There were no hard-wearing clothes such as Jinghai suits for work, and the 23 tribal chiefs who came together with Zheng Tu and Their guards wore full Ming army armor, which they would not take off no matter how hot the weather was.

In the words of the people of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Tu of Zhuangyuan Bridge has achieved great success.

In the past, Zheng Tu was just the chief of a small tribe, belonging to the big tribe alliance named by Shao Tingda as 'Nezi Accompanying Son' and by Ma Gui as 'Yizu'.

This tribal alliance originated from the conquest war of the Spaniards from Mexico to the north. The tribes who were unwilling to submit to the Spaniards fled northward, making the Yi people stronger and becoming the Great Wall of Indian flesh and blood that prevented the Spaniards from going north.

The loosely organized Yi nationality alliance occupied the huge land of Zhuangyuanqiao thousands of miles from north to south and nearly [-] miles from east to west during the long war. All the tribes in it had only one purpose, to survive.

Zheng Tu is just an unsurprising one among hundreds of villages, but his fortune has come, and this fortune is Ma Gui and Shao Tingda.

His association with Magui made him a member of the Ming army, and in the battle where the lost Shao Tingda recaptured the Zhuangyuan Bridge for the aborigines, Zheng Tu, who lost his territory and tribe, not only regained the lost land, but also became a member of the Yi nationality's western allied forces. Gained a high reputation and became the war leader of more than a hundred tribes in the western part of the Yi people.

When Magui established Jincheng County in the south of the Zhuangyuan Bridge, the Yi Nationality Western Union became the subject of Jincheng County. In terms of external environment, Jincheng is much better than Changsheng County. There are hundreds of tribes, as many as 14. During the battle between Chen Mu and Bernal, the people were registered in the yellow book by Wu Zhongxing, the magistrate of Jincheng County, and the land was distributed.

In the end, Wu Zhongxing chose the Jincheng that Chen Mu had mentioned to name his county, because they discovered a gold mine during the process of registering the yellow book.

It seems that none of the people in the Ming Dynasty had such a high level of hiding and clumsiness as Chen Mu. Almost when Jincheng County was first established, Wu Zhongxing sent people to teach Zheng Tu how to cultivate and burn bricks; Ma Gui taught Zheng Tu how to use and construct various farm tools. , Unreservedly hand over these 'small tricks' to the common people.

Chen Mu listened to Zheng Tu's long-legged bear's report in the yamen, and nodded slowly. This long-legged bear is the best Chinese speaker among the hundreds of tribes under Zheng Tu's command, and he is already teaching others the language.

Without the influence of the war, Jincheng is thriving.

Chen Mu has reason to believe that the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty is the smartest person in this era. Anyone has the ability to embezzle and complain. Do a good job of grafting and whining.

But not everyone is as capable of governing the place as Jinshi.

"Wuzhi County also led us to fight against the Blackfoot people in the north, and we won a big victory."

Blackfoot?
Another new tribal alliance...Chen Mu didn't think it was a small tribe, because many small tribes had no names, not to mention that only the tribal alliance could fight against the heroic Yi people.

Chen Mu asked, "Did the Blackfoot attack you?"

There are not many defenders in Jincheng, but a few warships from Wanli stopped there to avoid the fighting, and there are some imperial troops. It is nothing special if they join the war and win.

"No, the county magistrate heard that the Blackfoot people have often robbed our people in the past few decades, so he sent a letter to the Blackfoot people to declare the grace of the heavens, and let them return the people they took away quickly."

The long-legged bear curled his lips and complained: "We all said that this is not good, no one listened, but the county magistrate insisted on going out to the army, and the people who sent out the army should be famous first and then soldiers. Later, the blackfoot people didn't listen, and even killed the person sent to deliver the letter."

"Wuzhi County called all the tribes to form a coalition army of 30. He also asked us to spread the news to the Blackfoot people, saying that there were [-] troops."

These words made Long-legged Xiong's words all over the place, and Chen Mu curled his lips when he heard it, but it's normal for Wu Zhongxing to dare to send troops. There is no county magistrate in this world who can bear others to plunder the people under his rule, which is worse than slapping him twice Woolen cloth.

He pointed out: "This is called 30."

"Yes, it's called 30."

"And then, how did you win?"

The long-legged bear smiled and said: "Wuzhi County led 2 troops to guard the northern border, 30 people were sent to the north by warships, and the Blackfoot people gathered troops to the south to guard against our [-] people, and they were beaten by [-] from west to east. There was no battle in Zhixian County and they broke up."

"Later, the tribes of the Blackfoot sent back all the slaves who were ours and not ours. There were more than 2 people, and Wuzhi County stopped fighting."

"He was trying to recruit the Blackfoot when we set off."

Chen Mu couldn't help laughing, the county magistrate asked Wu Zhongxing to do it, and it sounds like a duck to water in this political and military struggle.
