Suda City is the capital established by Taichang to the Sutra Dakota Alliance.

The location is roughly next to a large river dozens of miles east of the Waht tribe.

The reason why the Waht tribe did not build the settlement here is roughly because the tribe of the river where they are located is enough for their tribe to get water, and there is no need for them to live next to this river.

This place near the river is not suitable for them to live in, because they can't build ships at this moment, let alone build bridges across rivers. It is quite difficult for them to cross a river dozens of feet wide.

At this moment, they basically make a living by hunting. If they can't go to the other side of the river, it means half of the hunting area is missing, so they did not set their settlement here.

However, it is different to build a city with more than 100,000 people. The water in the river is definitely not enough to use it for more than 100,000 people. The city must be built next to the river.

As for crossing the river, it is simply too simple for the current Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty could have taught them to build ships or even help them build bridges.

Unfortunately, this river is a large tributary of the Mississippi River, and its estuary is not on the west coast, otherwise the Ming Navy's wolf-tooth warship would be able to drive over now.

Of course, this doesn’t matter much. The “boat” in the river is a piece of cake for the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

At this moment, Pengbin brought a bunch of young and strong people from the Waht tribe in the nearby mountains and forests to prepare for shipbuilding.

As for building a city, there are still a lot of tools. The Indian tribes don’t even have iron swords and guns at this moment, let alone hoes and shovels.

To put it bluntly, they are still in the stage of using hand to plan or stone blocks. If they don’t transport a large number of tools to them, they will not be able to build a city at all.

This may also be the fundamental reason why their agriculture cannot develop.

There is no way, it’s hard to dig a pit. Even if you know how to plant crops such as corn, you can use your hands to dig the ground.

Of course, they lack more than tools, cement, wood, grain, and other things that are most commonly used, such as iron nails.

Taichang could only order people to send back the message quickly and ask Xinyin Capital to send these things in a carriage.

Problem, it’s a troublesome to send messages at this moment, because there are no stations here at all.

He could only let someone bring more spare horses and ride the horses all the way.

In this way, it would be good to be able to travel four or five hundred miles a day, but it would take five or six days to return to Xinyin Capital to communicate.

Perhaps, the original tribal settlements may still be left as a post station, so that the 800-mile rush can be sent to the expedition.

Taichang looked at the tribal chiefs who were following the translation of the news, holding branches on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It's really not easy to help others develop this.

They have been learning to write their own names for several days. If they want to learn other things, they don’t know how many years it will take.

Originally, he thought that he would come over and wait for a few days to gather all the tribe chiefs, let them agree on the border, set up the capital and the place to build the acropolis.

But I never thought that it has been a few days since the Lakota Tribal Alliance and the Nakota Tribal Alliance have not arrived.

There was no way, he miscalculated again.

He didn't count the time for the messaging!

There is no post station here, and there are not many horses in the Sioux tribe. It would be fast to spread the news for two or three hundred miles a day.

In other words, the news that he ordered all Sioux tribe chiefs to gather here would be spread to the southern borders of the Lakota Tribal Alliance and the Nakota Tribal Alliance for at least twenty days!

There may be some tribal chiefs who have not received the news yet. When they gather, they will have to wait at least about half a month.

Gu Shao

What should I do after such a long time?

He thought for a while, then raised his hand to Cao Wenzhao not far away and said, "Wenzhao, come here."

Upon hearing this, Cao Wenzhao hurriedly ran over and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what is your will?"

Taichang asked directly: "How many hoes and shovels did you bring this time."

These things are necessary for the army to travel, even if they don’t build cities, bury pots and make rice, dig wells and get water.

Cao Wenzhao said embarrassedly: "Prince, because we have to carry tents and enough rations, we only brought a hundred hoes and a hundred shovels in total."

He thought Taichang wanted them to start building the city, after all, there was nothing else to do now.

Problem, it is far from enough to build a city that can accommodate more than 100,000 people with such a few tools!

Of course, Taichang knew that such a few tools were not enough.

He nodded slightly and said, "Well, I see that there are a lot of pottery made by myself in the Waht tribe. There should be a lot of clay here. Please order people to take them to dig the soil and burn bricks."

This does not require many hoes or shovels to dig soil and burn bricks. Moreover, the amount of bricks and tiles was very large when the city was built. Start firing now, which can save a lot of time.

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he hurriedly took the order and left.

Soon, hundreds of Iron Cavalry of the Shenwu Camp ran out of the camp by horse and headed straight for the settlement of Waht tribe.

What else can I do?

Taichang slowly glanced at the surroundings, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the river surface in the distance.

This large river is a tributary of the Mississippi River, which is almost spread throughout central North America and several tributaries extend to eastern North America.

If the canal is opened and the navy ships enter the east coast, they can use Wolf Tooth Warships to transport personnel and supplies through the Mississippi River!

He had been worried that the east coast of America was too far away from here. Even if the canal was opened, it would take tens of thousands of miles to transport the personnel and materials here by sea. It was very troublesome to go back and forth, and it would be easier to go by land.

If the main and tributary streams of the Mississippi River are used to transport personnel and materials, it will be different.

Thinking of this, he quickly walked back to the tent and flipped out the map.

Sure enough, several tributaries of the Mississippi River run through the entire Sioux territory, and the tributaries extending to the east also extend to the territory of the Iroquois tribe, Cherokee tribe and Apache tribe.

Even some tributaries extended to the colonies occupied by the Dutch, French and British.

If these tributaries are used to transport personnel and supplies, the entire North American game will be alive.

He was still worried about where to set the ten cities of the Su people?

No need to think about it now, just settle on the side of the tributary of the Mississippi River.

At that time, the food in the jurisdiction of the Governor of New Spain will be transported directly to these cities to stock up, and then a certain number of soldiers from the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp will be stationed in these cities to support the Iroquois tribe, and the Cherokee tribe and the Apache tribe will be much more convenient.

This is a matter of going downstream through the Mississippi River tributary, and it is not a problem to go thousands of miles a day. After entering the mainstream road, it is only about thousands of miles away from the colonies occupied by the Dutch, French and British. It takes a few days to rush over!

This is much faster than transshipment by sea or marching by land. You know, it will take several months whether it is by sea or by land!

Originally, he thought that it would be difficult for the Indian tribe to drive the Dutch, French and British out of the North American continent in just a few years. Now it seems that just by digging the canal, one year will be enough to drive all these colonists out.
