The news of the defeat shocked the Spanish colonial authorities.In order to deal with the Chinese, Inspectors, the governor of New Spain, used his influence in the Americas to ask several indigenous tribes, gather 50,000 warriors, and ask British, Dutch, French, and Danish colonists to form a coalition army.In this regard, the officials of the Governor's Palace were more worried: "Your Excellency, if this is the case, the war will expand.You should know that war is not a simple matter.Britain, France, the Netherlands, and even the Emperor may not support your war. ”"No, no one knows war better than I do!"
Charles insisted that he must regain face.The Viceroyalty of New Spain had an order to mobilize and prepare for a larger attack.At this time, after attacking the tribe of the Shoshone, the construction of the Penglai Kingdom gradually gained enough manpower.Li Chengdong, Zhang Yida and others walked in the newly built Penglai City.Dongzhou is rich in products, towering trees are everywhere, and the people and captives under the command of craftsmen cut down the uncles one by one, process them and transport them to the construction site."
Such a giant tree is only available in Daming Yungui, and each one transported to Beijing costs more than 100,000 taels.It's all over the place!
”Li Chengdong looked at the fallen giant tree and sighed in his heart, he already liked it a little here.Zhang Yida said: "Your Highness, the Xincheng Domain helped Penglai City build the city, Your Highness can't forget the promise!"
”Li Chengdong laughed and said, "Don't worry, the widow promises to help you take Jinshan City back." ”Zhang Yida added: "There is also the population. ”Li Chengdong naturally agreed, "Thirty percent of the captives will be yours." ”Everyone walked by the Penglai River, and the fortress in the distance had begun to outline, and the wooden houses under the fortress were neatly arranged, and the officials were allocating houses to their dependents.When the family members saw Li Chengdong and others, they saluted one after another, and Li Chengdong asked, "Don't you have any complaints!"
”Zhang Huang said: "The ladies are a little bit, mainly because of the lack of furniture and some necessities, but the soldiers are more satisfied!"
”Zhang Yida said: "This is simple, when the house is built, the fortress is built, and the hands are pulled out, then let the carpenter make some furniture, anyway, there is wood all around, and the bed is for them to make a bed, and to make a cabinet for a cabinet, and all kinds of things that can be used are made more." ”Li Chengdong basically doesn't care about the opinions of the female dependents, because he has already offended the female dependents.In China's past dynasties, the demographic structure, in most cases, has been unbalanced by more men than women.Under such circumstances, the princes, nobles, and gentry in the country, in addition to marrying wives, often took concubines, and kept a large number of maids in captivity, which made the already unbalanced population structure even more unbalanced.In this case, it must have resulted in many adult men who were unable to marry.For generations, this has been a problem, and these men are poor and their brothers take one and have no money to marry them for them.Many young uncles, when they become adults, either go out to be apprentices and never come back, or go to the army.Successive generations of officials also knew that these people were not stable, so they recruited them into the army on a large scale.Serving in the army is a high-risk job, and you often can't come back if you go, and being a soldier in some dynasties is a lifetime, and often teenagers leave home with white hair, and many people never marry.Most of the sergeants who followed Li Chengdong to Dongzhou this time are such old bachelors, who have been soldiers for several years or even ten years, and the family's property is inherited by the eldest brother or other brothers, or they simply have no family.They have nothing to worry about, so they are willing to follow Li Chengdong and come to Dongzhou to fight.After Ben came to Dongzhou, they were very disappointed at first, the whole country was barren, not to mention the brothel of the Qinglou, and even people couldn't see it.This was a great blow to the morale of the soldiers, but Li Chengdong understood the thoughts of the soldiers very well, and after capturing the natives, he immediately selected young women from them and distributed them to his subordinate soldiers.If you have a wife, you will be a concubine, and if you don't have a wife, you will be a wife, and you will be allocated a house to build, as well as the land that has been reclaimed, in short, let the soldiers have a home, and settle down first.Such an arrangement naturally aroused the cheers of the soldiers, but the faces of the ladies were ugly.Li Chengdong and the others walked to a camp, which was full of young native women.Zhang Yida said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you want to choose a few women as maids?"
”Li Chengdong smiled slightly, "Let's let it go to the soldiers!"
”Do you still need to be reminded of this kind of thing, before these women were sent to the camp, Li Chengdong had already selected more than a dozen.At this time, a junior officer under Li Chengdong came out of the camp, led an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl behind him, and took him to a hut.The officer's name is Zeng Dalong, who has been in the army for many years, and he doesn't know how to communicate with the girl, he just wanted to step forward, and the girl hid in a corner in fright, with a fierce look on her face, like a frightened kitten who kept hazing.Seeing this, Zeng Dalong hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he would not approach, and then stood in the house for a while, and finally didn't know what to say, pointed to the house, indicating that the girl should stay in the house, and went out by himself.At dinner, Zeng Dalong brought a bowl of rice and a bowl of fried meat and handed them to the girl, but the girl was so shocked that she hid in the corner again, still with a fierce face.Seeing this, Zeng Dalong put the food on the table, and then withdrew from the room, and the girl curled up in the corner for a long time, and finally calmed down, even though she smelled the aroma of rice and meat.She looked at the table for a moment, her stomach rumbling a few times, and finally she couldn't resist the temptation and crawled over to the table.Looking at the rice and fried meat, the girl did not take the chopsticks, but directly grabbed a piece of meat with her hand and put it in her mouth.Outside the window, Zeng Dalong smiled slightly, and went to the sentry.With the passage of time, Li Chengdong had moved into the castle, the soldiers had all divided the wooden houses, and the land by the Penglai River was also reclaimed, planting potatoes, corn, vassals, and Daming rice from Dongzhou.Everything in Penglai has finally gradually entered the right track, and the only shortcoming is that living materials are extremely scarce.However, with the second fleet from the Ming Dynasty loaded with cloth, porcelain, tea, ironware and other materials, and many exiled prisoners came over, it immediately changed the survival of everyone.This not only changed the living conditions of the people of Penglai, but even the captured natives gradually became accustomed to life in Penglai.Instead of brutally exploiting the natives like the Spaniards and treating them as slaves, Penglai regarded itself as an indoctrination to teach the natives to plant, build houses, and free them from barbarism.At this time, in front of the wooden house, the girl of the Yin tribe was washing her clothes, and Zeng Dalong came back with a large bag and a small bag.He handed the maiden a fine cotton cloth, and then put the iron pot, porcelain, tea leaves, copper mirrors, quilts, and even a box of rouge on the table.The girl unfolded the cotton cloth and was overjoyed to see the beautiful pattern and comfortable texture.At the next neighbor's house, there was the laughter of a woman who was also married to a Penglai soldier, and a moment later there was an indescribable movement.That night, Zeng Dalong, who had been single for 30 years, didn't sleep all night.In the morning, Zeng Dalong lay on the boat and couldn't help but sigh that a good day was about to begin.Here, Penglai is gradually on the right track, and the New Spanish authorities have used their influence in the Americas to gather 50,000 indigenous warriors, and want to invite British, Dutch, French, and Danish colonists to form a coalition army, a total of 60,000 troops, divided into three routes, and march mightily towards Vancouver.
