The construction of Jinshan City does not require Lu Xiangsheng to be too concerned. Whether it is the port, city wall, road or houses in the city, he only commands and coordinates.

When the construction of the city was on track, he could finally start colonizing the North American continent.

There are two things in front of him now. The first is to drive the British out of the North American continent, and the second is to slowly assimilate all Indian tribes and integrate them into the Ming Dynasty.

The first thing for him was actually quite simple. Just rush up and defeat the enemy. This is his specialty.

The problem is that he can't rush up at all now. The British army is still thousands of miles away. There is no railway and cannot take a boat. At such a long distance, it is almost impossible to pull all the weapons, equipment, food and supplies of the Tianxiong Army or other legions over. He can only put it aside for the time being and wait until the second batch of personnel and supplies arrive.

Now, the matter of winning over and assimilating Indian tribes can be developed at any time, but no one has ever tried this colonial method, and Lu Xiangsheng has no good idea for how to fully develop it.

Judging from the situation discovered by the Jinyiwei, there are many Indian tribes in the North American continent. There are more than a dozen Indian tribes in such a small place near Jinshan City alone, and there are at least hundreds of Indian tribes in the entire North American continent. How can we win over them?

Is it taking so much time to show goodwill to the Seattle Tribes one by one and slowly enhance friendship?

Finally, Lu Xiangsheng decided to ask the Seattle Chief to help, invite all the tribe chiefs he knew to come over, find out what they thought, and he really didn't have that time to come one by one.

I have to say that many times, many things have a lot to do with luck or not. Lu Xiangsheng's luck this time was really good. The Seattle chief was actually the recognized leader of all the Indian tribes nearby. He sent a few people to say hello to all the nearby tribes, and all the chiefs of those tribes actually ran over.

Only then did Lu Xiangsheng realize that there were not more than ten Indian tribes nearby, but more than twenty.

The Seattle Chief helped and his communication with them went very smoothly. Soon they accepted the Ming Empire, a good friend who sincerely helped them drive away the demons.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately struck while the iron was hot, took a group of subordinates and men's translators, took gifts, and visited nearby tribes one by one.

After this round, a lot of time was spent, but the harvest was not small.

First of all, he found that the population of these more than 20 tribes is not large, and the largest number is not more than 10,000 people. In other words, the Seattle tribe is the well-deserved boss of all tribes here. The population of one of their tribes is almost equivalent to the sum of the population of these more than 20 tribes.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the large freshwater lake next to Jinshan City. This large lake is so well located and the surrounding land is so fertile. I guess there is no second one in the entire North American continent.

Then, the area of ​​these more than 20 tribes was quite large, almost as large as a province in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Indian tribes themselves lived in not very large, and all of them were not as big as a state capital. In other words, 90% of the areas in this area were actually ownerless, and they did not have so many people to occupy so much land.

This is simply a good thing for Lu Xiangsheng. It’s better to have fewer people. It’s better to have a lot of trouble when immigrating. As long as you have a good relationship with them, you can find a reason to tell the truth and move the people over. People will always be embarrassed to object.

Everyone is their own people. You have few people and many lands, and there are many people in the Ming Empire and there are no places to live. It is not an exaggeration to move some people.

Finally, the most important point is that they all seemed to be frightened by the brutal massacre of the British. At this moment, they all regarded the Ming Empire as a savior and were very welcome to the arrival of the Ming army.

Because the Seattle Chief said that the Ming Empire was here to help them drive away the demons;

Because the Ming army was very friendly to them, they even brought a lot of good things to visit them;

Moreover, because the people of the Ming Empire were similar to their skin color and appearance, they naturally felt a sense of intimacy.

After visiting, I gained a lot, but I also had a little regret, that is, there were no Mongolian people who could speak Mongolian language in the nearby tribes, let alone Song people who could speak Chinese.

The Seattle tribes who speak Mongolian seem to be the only few left on this large area of ​​land. Other tribes have either never joined or have been assimilated by them.

The Mongolians of the Seattle tribe are actually slowly giving up their language because they speak Indian all around them, and they can only use Mongolian when communicating with their families, and this demand is getting less and less, because everyone will speak Indian here, and learning more languages ​​is causing trouble.

It is not easy for someone to speak Mongolian after hundreds of years, because there are more Mongolian people drifting here, with hundreds of people.

Perhaps in a few decades, when these people grow old and die, no one will speak Mongolian again. At that time, the things that the Mongolians had drifted here will be submerged in the long river of history.

With the help of the Seattle Chief, Lu Xiangsheng's colonization plan went smoothly. He decided to first attract and assimilate the nearby tribes, and then gradually spread around.

He began to promote in nearby tribes that the Ming Dynasty could provide cloth, porcelain and other essential products to improve their living standards;

The Ming Dynasty can provide simple production tools to improve their production level, and even provide land-turning dragons to help them turn the ground for free and teach them the cultivation skills of various crops;

At the same time, he also vigorously promoted Chinese in various tribes because they did not have their own writing at this time, and it was very inconvenient to pass on word of mouth no matter what they recorded. More importantly, the Ming Empire would continue to be friendly with them for a long time, and learning Chinese and convenient communication between them is also essential.

Of course, these will not be carried out until the second batch of personnel and materials arrive. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng did not stop his pace.

In order to show that the Ming Dynasty really helped them expel the demons, Lu Xiangsheng asked the tribes to second a group of warriors and asked them to take the spies of the Jinyiwei to investigate the west and find the specific location of the demons.

At the same time, he began to make maps and explore mineral deposits with the Seattle Chiefs. Of course, the reason was to build railways and build train cars, and transport the troops to the west as soon as possible. Building railways and building train cars required a large number of coal mines and iron ore.

When the Seattle chief heard that they were transporting the army to the West Coast as soon as possible to drive away the demons, he immediately sent warriors from the tribe to lead professionals from the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty to search for mineral deposits, and his mood was even more urgent than Lu Xiangsheng.

The peace of the North American continent was broken again, and the Ming army on the east coast was extending its tentacles to the west coast. The British army did not know that in the near future, a bad luck would come to their heads and they would be completely driven away from this land!
