Liu Jin was complaining in Tianjin that he had not received any news from Tian Erniu. At this time, Tian Erniu was in trouble in the Central and South Huanghuang Continents.
After Tian Erniu arrived at Huangjin Continent, he began to follow Liu Jin's instructions to build colonial strongholds from north to south along the west coast of Huangjin Continent.
From the Qianhe City built at Qianhekou in the north to the Golden City built here at Golden Bay, all the way from north to south, more than a dozen large and small colonial strongholds were built in just a few months.
.
Larger cities like Qianhe City and Golden City already have tens of thousands of people settled there. These people from major trading houses are like bandits and robbers. As soon as they settle down, they start looking for gold, silver, and large amounts of gold mines in all directions.
Silver mines were discovered and frantic mining of gold and silver began.
There are also thousands of people settling in smaller colonial strongholds. Relying on these more than a dozen large and small strongholds, plus thousands of large ships, the 100,000 people who followed Tian Erniu to Huangjin Continent quickly spread throughout the entire Northern Huanghuang Continent.
Spread along the west coast.
On the one hand, there are a large number of gold and silver mines that were discovered and quickly mined. On the other hand, they also began to have a lot of contact with the local indigenous people who are descendants of the Yin Shang, and have a deeper understanding of this vast land.
.
Most of the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties are still in the very primitive and backward tribal stage, especially in the Northern Golden Continent, where they are all in the tribal stage.
Tribes of various sizes are spread throughout the Northern Golden Continent. These descendants of the Yin Shang are full of curiosity about the arrival of the Ming people and are also very friendly.
Tian Erniu and others also adhere to the principle of peaceful coexistence with the descendants of the Yin Shang, so they have a good relationship with these Yin Shang tribes and have friendly exchanges with each other.
Even if there are a few tribes that are more xenophobic, they are no match for Tian Erniu and the others.
The society of the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was extremely backward. Every tribe was in the Stone Age, and the weapons they used were spears, wooden clubs, stone axes, slingshots and the like.
The Ming people led by Tian Erniu were armed to the teeth with muskets, artillery, swords, and armor. For some unfriendly Yin Shang tribes, it didn't take many people to easily conquer them.
Here in Huangjinzhou, Tian Erniu and the others lived a very relaxed life.
While building a colonial stronghold, they began to reclaim land near the colonial stronghold and prepare to grow food here. The quality of many ships not built by Tianjin Shipyard was seriously poor. There was no way for everyone to return to the Ming Dynasty, so many people knew that they needed to
Stay here in Golden Continent for a few years.
Naturally, the nature of this kind of field was brought out. A large amount of land was reclaimed around each colonial stronghold, and various things were exchanged for food from the surrounding tribes descended from the Yin Shang to be hoarded.
No matter what, the issue of eating is the most important first.
Relying on the colonial stronghold, large-scale mining of gold and silver began again. People in each trading house hoarded a large amount of gold and silver, waiting for Tian Erniu to return to the Ming Dynasty and bring back this huge wealth.
As for the specific huge number, no one knows now. Everyone keeps it secret from each other, but everyone can tell that everyone who came to Golden Continent got rich this time.
It was smooth sailing on the North Golden Continent, but then trouble began to appear after reaching the Central Golden Continent.
The Golden Continent is also known as the Mesoamerican region in later generations.
Here Tian Erniu and the others met the Aztecs who believed in the sun god. The Aztec Kingdom was full of hostility towards Tian Erniu and the others. They did not allow Tian Erniu and the others to be in the territory of the Aztec Kingdom.
Establish a colonial stronghold.
But Zhonghuanghuangzhou is really important. It is the middle area between the north and south Huanghuangzhou. What's more important is that you can easily reach the east coast of Huangjinzhou through here.
Of course, we all know that in later generations, Mexico was the largest silver producer in the world, with the most famous Chaucito silver mine, and the Japanese Iwami silver mine being nothing compared to it.
Among the ten largest silver mines in the world in later generations, this area accounted for more than half. This shows how high the silver output in this area was.
If you come here after wealth, you can't let go of the silver here.
In addition to the Aztec Kingdom in the Golden Continent that did not allow Tian Erniu and others to establish a colonial stronghold, further south in the Southern Golden Continent, there was also the Inca Empire on the west coast of South America. They had no control over the Ming people.
Arrival is also hostile.
Like the Aztec Kingdom, the Inca Empire also believed in the Sun God and claimed to be a descendant of the Sun God.
At this time, the Inca Empire was at its most prosperous. Their territory was very vast, reaching the Central Golden Continent in the north, almost connected to the Kingdom of the Aztecs, reaching as far south as what would later become Argentina, and crossing over to the Andes in the east.
The mountains touch the edge of the Amazon rainforest and are distributed throughout the Andes.
Like the Aztec Kingdom, the Inca Empire was also extremely rich. The Andes Mountains also contained extremely rich gold and silver. In later generations, Peru was called the country of silver, which shows how large the silver reserves here are.
Historically, the Spanish invaded the Inca Empire, captured the Inca Emperor, and asked the Inca Emperor to trade one room of gold and two rooms of silver for their emperor.
In the end, the people on the Inca Empire did so, but the Inca Emperor was still killed by the Spaniards. From this, we can know how rich the Inca Empire was.
Both the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire were hostile to the Ming people who did not believe in the sun god, and did not allow Tian Erniu and the others to establish colonial strongholds along the way. This seriously affected Tian Erniu's execution of what Liu Jin had told him.
Liu Jin asked Tian Erniu to establish colonial strongholds from north to south to facilitate the subsequent colonization and development of the entire Golden Continent.
The location of these two places is important. The key is that there is a lot of gold and silver. Almost all the silver and gold in the entire Golden Continent are concentrated in these two areas.
The gold and silver here in Northern Golden Continent are nothing compared to here.
Historically, the Spaniards have continuously plundered countless amounts of silver and gold from these two places. As for the gold on the west coast of the North Golden Continent, it was only slowly developed after Uncle Sam founded the country and the Westward Expansion Movement. Almost all of it was from the two places.
Three hundred years later.
In the sixteenth century, it was mainly the Spanish who plundered gold and silver from the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire.
Here is Golden Bay Golden City.
Tian Erniu called all the people in charge of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company to discuss the next action.
"Everyone already knows the situation. Neither the Aztec Kingdom nor the Inca Empire will allow us to build colonial strongholds along the coast and are very hostile to us, even though we have sent them many gifts."
"Based on the information we have now, these two places have the most gold and silver in the entire Golden Continent. As long as we can capture these two places, we won't have to worry about running out of gold and silver in the future."
"In addition, everyone knows Mr. Liu's order. He wants us to establish a stronghold line from north to south on the west coast of Huanghuangzhou. We are not allowed to build strongholds in these two places now. We will not be able to build strongholds when we return.
Tell Mr. Liu how to do it."
"It's already February of the 14th year of Hongzhi. I guess the young master has already started sending people to Huangjinzhou. By then, they will know that we can't do anything."
"Another point is that all the major trading houses that came to Golden Continent have made a fortune. Each of them has dug up boxes of gold and silver. Only our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company has been building colonial strongholds and has no energy.
and time to mine gold and silver.”
"Although the young master has said in advance that we are not required to bring back much gold and silver, brothers have traveled thousands of miles to come to Golden Continent and cannot watch others eat and drink, but we didn't even get some soup, right?
.”
Tian Erniu looked at the people in front of him, Zhao Houhou, Silly Xiong, Dahu, Jiang Liang, Gao Shan... these people are all the persons in charge of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company in Huangjinzhou.
"Er Niu, just tell me, what should we do?"
"We all listen to you."
Jiang Liang looked at everyone and said directly.
"Yes, Erniu, just say it. We will all listen to you. We will do whatever you say."
Silly Bear, Dahu and others also nodded.
"It's very simple, then use force against the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire!"
"Since they refuse, then beat them until they are willing to do it, and ask them to give us gold and silver, so that we don't have to work hard to mine and smelt, and can just pick up what's ready."
Tian Erniu Jian, everyone looked at him, thought for a while and said very domineeringly.
“Use force against the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire?”
When everyone heard this, they all couldn't help but open their mouths slightly.
They all knew very well about these two empires. They were two very large empires with millions of people, far beyond what they could compare to the Yin Shang tribes they had encountered before.
How could they defeat two such huge empires with just a few people in their hands?
"Yes, we want to use force against these two countries to let them know how powerful we Ming people are."
"snort!"
"We went to talk to them in a good voice, but they didn't want to pay attention to us. We regarded them as descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty and as one of our own, but they said that we didn't believe in any sun god, and they tried their best to exclude us and be hostile to us."
"Then we just need to use force to conquer them and let them know what we Ming people think."
