Chapter 110 Firm

"Master, it is beneficial for me to manage the Western barbarians here extensively."

On the Port Government House, Zhao Shizhen rubbed his eyes tiredly, pushed the map drawn in his hand forward, and said, "This marks the indigenous tribes within a radius of 100 miles of Agang. According to the Western custody and levy system, the Spanish in the port have a family outside as slaves."

"After the military and civilians went to see, some of the indigenous people were taken away, and more than a thousand people were left behind. Their masters were either killed or they didn't have time to take them away."

Zhao Shizhen said, adding: "The main reason is that more than 40,000 people are summoned to the mine. They have to rush over for three months every year, work for five months, and come back for 40 days to rest."

Chen Mu leaned over and turned the map into his own direction, looked at the dense tribal settlements above, raised his eyebrows and said, "There are so many people?"

"More than we thought, Grandmaster." Zhao Shizhen said these faces were chilling, and his kind-eyed Zhao Changji rarely showed this expression. He stood up and pointed to a place marked as abandoned and said: "In the past, 20,000 people lived here. It was the people who moved to six villages from other places. It took only twenty years for the people in this village to die. Most of them died in mines, some died of old age, and some young women were distributed to Westerners in the port. The young people could not find suitable people to marry and reproduce, and the village disappeared."

"This is a fief. They put the Chinese people in the port and the savages outside, each household planted a certain amount of corn, pepper, and cotton, and farmed them, raised chickens, and mined them."

"They rarely kill people." Zhao Shizhen nodded slowly with his lips pursed and said, "But it is much more ruthless than killing people."

Zhao Shizhen didn't know why he summed up these maps, history, laws, population and other information in one place. After connecting them together, he felt so indignant and cold. In fact, he had always been among the executioners.

Everyone around him had blood on his hands. Even Zou Yuanbiao, who was giggling all day long, could say in an understatement that if he didn't kill him, he would bloom everywhere. The three recent revenge killings at the port were all related to his intentional letting go, as the county magistrate.

Zhao Shizhen just shook his head stubbornly, with a slight trembling unconsciously, and said, "It doesn't matter if people shouldn't die like this. Kill, die of illness or starvation. Grandmaster, they shouldn't die like this. This is to destroy the clan and the race."

Chen Mu felt that his aide was a little broken.

"Changji, your idea is right. They are exterminated in the prominent genocide. If we don't come, one day they will be exterminated by the deceased."

Chen Mu is telling the truth. This is an extremely huge race. They are even more than the Ming Dynasty, Mongolians, and Jurchens combined, but there are not so many now. If they develop normally, they will be fewer and fewer.

"But if you look further, this is not the most tragic thing. You have to think about why they accepted such a fate, because the most tragic thing happened long before we arrived."

Chen Mu refers to the Indians' counterattack and struggle against the invaders, rising up again and again and again and being suppressed. In his opinion, that was actually the most sad thing.

Those who are brave and dare to fight are all dead in the war.

"If we don't go out to sea, will we never know these things?" Zhao Shizhen tightened his burqa, pointed to the map and looked up at Chen Mu and asked, "This will happen in the Ming Dynasty?"

After saying that, Zhao Shizhen shook his head in question and answer: "We are better than them, and their army cannot defeat us."

"There are momentary victory and defeat, and there are no one life victory and defeat." The very interesting thing is that others will have almost blind confidence in the army he created, but he did not. He said: "The army has a time of prosperity and decline. After corruption, it is change, and then there is a new army, and the so-called national destiny is the same."

"My Ming Dynasty also declined. More than a dozen Japanese pirates dared to traverse a thousand miles of Nanjing. The Northern Barbarians attacked Beijing and there was a Gengxu change. Therefore, a group of civil servants and generals rose up, and military revolutionized the ills and eliminated the old and weak, and strengthened the firearms and renewed the firearms. Enjoyment would be corrupt."

"Who doesn't want to enjoy it? Even the Asian Strategies, if I hadn't known this, I would rather go back and be a Jinghai Bo and go through it for the rest of my life, than a storm that would invade the battlefield and kill him at any time."

"But I know we've been in a confrontation and are not afraid of losing. You see, their words are destroyed, a generation disappears, and their bloodlines are cut off, but there are always people who will stand up in critical moments, so people need heroes."

"People should believe that heroes exist. Only by believing in the existence of heroes can there be more heroes. If you ask them whether they believe in heroes or not, they will tell you that as long as they believe, there will be a chance."

Chen Mu laughed and said, "If anyone says he doesn't believe it, just let him go to Daojun Temple to worship."

"The illusory faith god is the crutch of a man when he is lame, but when his limbs are sound, firm belief in reality is more important."

Zhao Shizhen said blankly: "First belief in reality?"

Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Shizhen with a smile on his face, "You must know that what you did is to make the people of the Ming Dynasty live a better life. When you bear more for others, you are the pioneer of our compatriots and you are the god."

Zhao Shizhen laughed in silence. He knew from Chen Mu that his ethnic group would not suffer the same tragic situation as the indigenous people. He was no longer worried and his words became relaxed: "So the Grand Marshal wants to set up many city god temples in Asia?"

"I not only want to set up the City God Temple, since Agang is really awkward, I must change the name after the new contract is signed... Since there are many people here, I need to prepare to plan a larger county town. The county government will plan to be outside the village not far from Daojun Temple, and gradually expand it with that as the center."

"In addition to the yamen runners, we also need to set up inspection departments. Agang is our social experiment. It will be much simpler to build this place into a standardized city. In the future, the planning and management of other places will also be implemented in this way."

Zhao Shizhen nodded slowly and responded: "The student union asked the Zou County Magistrate to prepare for the county government and the inspection department. By the way, the student heard that the Grand Marshal was not going to ask for silver mines from the westerners, but there was a saying in the contract sent to Mexico City that asked for silver mountains. Why is this?"

"Because I want to ask them for money, I asked for money from the beginning and they would definitely not give it to them, but if they failed to ask for money, they would definitely not have a problem if they asked me to get some money every year. Even if they didn't give money, they would make concessions in other places."

"The situation is better than that of a human."

In fact, Zhao Shizhen didn't know that Chen Mu thought it was wrong to force the indigenous people to go into the mountains to mine, so he didn't want silver, but he still wanted silver. What could he do?

Force the Spaniards to ask for money from the Spaniards.

After all, he is still hypocritical.

Zhao Shizhen nodded slowly and finally asked: "What is the Marshal's firm belief in reality? Be a god on earth?"

Zhao Shizhen thinks Chen Mu likes to build Daojun Temple overseas, which is probably his belief?

Chen Mu smiled, shook his head slowly, and said something Zhao Shizhen couldn't understand: "I am defending my ancestors and pulling them forward. There is nothing more firmer than this."
