Chen Mu doesn't care about false reputation, or he doesn't have to care about false reputation.

Just like Spain conquered Aztec, Philip did not add the title of Aztec emperor to himself. His governor chose to support a puppet to succeed the throne - how could a self-proclaimed conqueroer look down on the title of conquered?

Chen Mu's idea was not that extreme. He did not think that who is higher or lower in Spain or Aztec. Anyway, the level of civilization and the level of wealth of the people were much worse than that of the Ming Dynasty.

What he cared more about was the role that the Ming Dynasty would play in the geopolitical geography on both sides of the Atlantic.

The long-silent army in Changsheng County was frequently dispatched at the end of November 6, the sixth year of Wanli. First, the county townships posted notices to their subordinate villages. The Dongyang Military Office recruited people who were willing to undertake the mission of reclamation to follow the flag army to explore the north and reward them with great rewards.

Every male who was willing to go north would bring his own food, but the military government gave Jincheng a waist knife, Jinghai suit, and gave Tongbao three thousand at one time.

After recruiting, the flag army was assigned by the team, and each team had ten people, and two hard bows, four strings, two strong crossbows, four strings, one fuse bird gun and thirty feather arrows, thirty crossbows, thirty lead ball gunpowder cartridges and measuring tools required to measure the land.

Cheng Dawei, who was hiding from the cold in Jincheng, did not expect that he could even get Chen Mu's orders when he went here to do business. The Wanli Mathematics Award winner who smelled the business opportunity opened two factories in Jincheng. One hired a large number of indigenous men and women to make ink-line coiled ropes for him to measure the land.

In the words of Cheng Dawei, no one knows how big Asia is, there are many places to measure in the future!

Another factory is still idle now. He originally wanted to get a license to open a gunpowder workshop from Wuzhongxing, but several gunpowder workshops and nitrogen production workshops in Jincheng were dominated by Magui's military governor's mansion, and merchants were not allowed to participate, so he could only retreat to the next best.

The second industry that Cheng Dawei targeted was iron making. Yazhou is a place that relies on its own to the mountains and rivers to the water. At present, tanning, blanket, weaving or manufacturing of fur are almost saturated. Similarly, there are wood, quarry, gold and silver industries. When demand is first generated, it will be called the military equipment bureaus related to the military office, or those Fujian merchants with close ties to the Beiyang.

It is not a big investment industry. Several large workshops similar to workshops can saturate the market. You only need to wait for Beijing ships once every six months to make a return.

This makes it difficult for them, whether they are Hui merchants or immigrant merchants, to operate manufacturing, and they can only be some shipping providers who buy low and sell high.

Although freighters can make a lot of money, who can't see the potential here? Panama, the first-line Aboriginals still have some iron tools, but the Aboriginal tribes going northwards can hardly see the iron tools.

Because there is no iron ore.

The market is huge. Another factory in Cheng Dawei is the ironworks workshop. He has hired thirty workers and contacted another 80 indigenous people in the county. As long as the next time the Beijing transportation comes, the already-funny Hui merchants will bring him a large amount of iron ingots, and the ship can start construction immediately after the docking.

I don’t make any difficult things, just ordinary iron farm tools and utensils. The reason why I choose to build them here is not because the labor here is cheap.

Even if the labor is not money, the freight will be paid for by ship cargo, but such early investment is worth it. Cheng Dawei does not believe that there will be no iron ore on such a vast land. He needs to train a group of blacksmiths who are loyal to him from scratch to deal with future market changes.

If the gathering of immigration expedition team above is not an army, then the Beiyang Army's mobilization will attract the attention of immigrants.

By November, Changsheng County was preparing for the end of the year everywhere, but the military government issued an order at this time, mobilizing 1,200 Beiyang Banner Army, led by Yuan Zizhang, the second-phase Land Division gang general, to be transferred from Panama to Changsheng Port, and then led the order to send troops by land to the front line. The local guerrilla general paid Yuan to allocate the garrison food and salary, waiting for the next military order.

At the Changsheng County Military Government Office, Yang Tingxiang, wearing a military uniform and wearing a tiger-headed breastplate in the military hall, held his helmet and walked into the second floor of the military government under the guidance of his servants. Chen Mu had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Master, the humble position is here."

Chen Mu, wearing a single robe, turned his head and his eyes lit up. Although Yang Tingxiang was from a martial arts hall, he usually wore official uniforms when he went to and from the military palace, and rarely showed his heroic appearance in military uniforms like this.

"How about it, is it okay for immigrants from all over the country to live in Asia?" Chen Mu reached out to the indoor chair and said, "Sit."

"It's generally good that the immigrants get along very well with the indigenous people. Perhaps because the Western Yi had suppressed and enslaved, the indigenous people are now very satisfied with the Ming Dynasty laws. They don't need any help or alms. The enslaved people know who to be grateful best. They only need one job and one job that can be paid."

"When Huer and give him, the people who practice the way will not accept him. When the beggars are disdainful. They are all very hardworking, but they are a little foolish."

Yang Tingxiang sighed as he said this. During this period, he had been active in various villages and had been trying to compile the history and living habits of the indigenous people, but he gained little. Everything about them was carried out according to the Spanish arrangements. Those arrangements were extremely simple and had almost no good record.

But when he tried to dig through, people seemed to remember the tragedy that happened after the arrival of the Spaniards in their souls. In addition, even the oldest old men in various tribes did not know what their lives were like before being invaded.

On the contrary, the further north, for example, Zheng Tu tribe in Jincheng or further north, people still maintain ancient habits and are not disturbed by the outside world.

"Whoever has broken his backbone by something I have never seen before, and all tribesmen with the will to resist have been killed. They will lose their culture and learn for decades, and they will become stupid and stupid. It is not their fault that they live or die."

Chen Mu waved his hand and ignored it and said, "Our culture will re-energize them. It only takes two generations to change this."

"Bizhi is planning to go to Jincheng for a while. I wonder what is important about the Grand Marshal's call for Beizhi this time? I heard that the military government has added 1,000 troops to the front line. What did the Westerners do?"

"That's not the soldiers who are given to General Fu Zeng, but just let him take care of him for the time being. Go to Jincheng? No need to go to Jincheng, you can go to Mexico City directly."
