New Liaoyang City, port terminal.

Hundreds of ships from the Ming Navy fleet and five armed merchant ships from the Ming Atlantic merchants are slowly entering the port and approaching the dock.

On the open space near the port, teams of young and strong Apache tribe gathered in line with the command of the Ming army generals.

These were summoned from nearby tribes to help build the city, with about 20,000 people.

Perhaps they didn't know what the Ming army generals summoned them to do, and many of them were still confused.

However, during this period, their queues were arranged neatly under the training of the Ming army generals.

Not long after, more than 20,000 young and strong Apache tribes gathered together, and five armed merchant ships had already reached the dock and lowered the hanging ladder.

Immediately afterwards, the generals and officers of the Ming army took them to the deck and began to carry goods.

They have also done this job. After all, tens of thousands of people gathered here to build a city, and it took a lot of food alone. They thought they were transporting food again.

However, when they saw the "cargo" piled on the deck, they were so excited.

Because the deck is full of weapons and equipment.

Black iron sword, black iron armor, iron shield, spear, and even military uniforms and tents.

All of these Ming soldiers were there, and they also heard that everyone's chief would also equip them with these.

However, none of them expected that these equipment would come so quickly and so much.

Each of them can't carry a bundle, and except for the tent, the other bundle is at least ten pieces.

In other words, these equipment are definitely used by more than 20,000 people.

Moreover, the Ming army soldiers were already equipped, and they also heard that almost all the warriors of the Su tribe were included.

These should be used for the warriors of their Apache tribe!

If the warriors of the Apache tribe are equipped with these weapons, they can regain their territory. How can they not be excited?

Above the flagship, Taichang looked at this little young and strong, and couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Is the Apache tribe so young and strong?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he hurriedly bowed: "Master, there are seven tribal alliances in the Apache tribe, so naturally it is not only so young and strong. However, Weichen summoned the young and strong people from the nearby Navayo Tribal Alliance. Some of the other tribal alliances were too far away, and some were resisting the continental colonists in the north and east, so Weichen did not summon them."

This is a bit troublesome.

They wanted to help the Apache tribe recover the territory, so naturally they could not let the Sioux people go.

This time, the young and strong Apache tribe must be the main force.

However, people don’t even have time to come to get weapons and equipment, so how can they be the main force?

The enemy of the Apache tribe was the British who established the Sun-Down Empire in later generations. If they didn’t send weapons and equipment to the young and strong people of the Apache tribe and practiced it, they would let them act as the main force to fight the British. That would be like letting others die!

Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to the deliberation hall to discuss, Cheng'en, bring the latest map."

Soon, they came to the meeting hall and focused their eyes on the map in the middle.

The Apache tribe has a large territory, including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc., all of them.

However, the Apache tribes had no territory in later generations, and there were very few people left in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and other places.

Why is this happening?

Gu Yu

The reason is actually very simple, because they have been fighting against colonists and invaders for too long.

It can be said that from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to around the first period of World War I, they had been fighting against colonists and invaders.

Moreover, the colonists and invaders they fought against were very powerful.

What colonists and invaders they fought against?

At first it was the most powerful Spain in the world at that time, followed by France, France, the most powerful Britain during the colonial period, and the most powerful United States in later generations!

In other words, for more than three hundred years, the colonists and invaders they fought against were basically the most powerful existences in the world at that time.

In history, they were the most tragic Indian tribe on the North American continent. More than three hundred years of struggle directly made one of the most powerful tribes on the North American continent almost disappear and disappear in the long river of history!

Of course, they had not disappeared at this time, and they were still one of the most powerful tribes on the North American continent.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has helped them regain Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and other territories from the Spanish.

The problem is that most of the territory such as Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia are still in the hands of the British.

Or, even if the British did not completely occupy these places, it would be difficult for their tribes to survive in these places.

Because the colonists will continue to sweep and expand.

If their tribe remained in those places, they might be accidentally taken over by the colonists!

So, most of them gathered in the western and southern parts of Georgia, squaring together to resist the invasion of the colonists.

Taichang looked at the map carefully, then pointed to the western and southern Georgia, Alabama, Florida and other places and asked: "Jiandou, how many Apache tribes gathered in these places are now, and how do they rely on to resist the invasion of colonists?"

Lu Xiangsheng estimated: "In addition to the north of the new Liaoyang City, there is an Apache tribal alliance. Almost all tribes of the other five Apache tribal alliances are concentrated in this area. They should be resisting the invaders by relying on war horses stolen from the Spaniards and the British or a small number of swords stolen from them."

Taichang asked again: "How many war horses and swords do they have? Have you ever learned about it carefully?"

How can I ask this clearly!

Lu Xiangsheng said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I have not figured it out yet. Their war horses should be less than a thousand, and their swords are probably pitifully few. Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the invaders of hundreds of people."

Then what else do they keep in those places?

Taichang thought for a while and asked again: "How many people are left in their seven tribal alliances? Have you calculated this?"

Lu Xiangsheng said without hesitation: "This minister ordered people to understand it carefully. The seven tribal alliances have only a population of less than one million, and the specific number should be about 950,000."

When Taichang heard this, he said without hesitation: "Immediately, order people to send orders to all tribes of the Apache tribe to prepare to migrate to the near New Liaoyang City."

ah?

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Master, isn't this asking them to hand over most of their territory to the British?"

Taichang sighed slightly, "If they were allowed to gather around the British to resist, it would be just to delay the British's pace with human lives. Is it necessary? We migrate them all over, send weapons and equipment to young and strong tribes, and then organize them to practice well. Isn't it better than using human lives to stop others' footsteps like this now?"

Well, this is indeed.

However, the reason why they did not gather together was not entirely to use their lives to stop the invaders' footsteps.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and reminded: "Master, the reason they scattered in these places is mainly to hunt enough food. If nearly one million people gathered near Xin Liaoyang City, they would definitely not be able to hunt so much food."

Isn't this simple yet?
