End of the year.

At the mouth of the Bravo River, a new port city stands on the south bank of the Great River. A canal about ten miles long leads to a lagoon near the sea in the northeast. The estuary of the Bravo River is mostly forked, with swamps crisscrossing land, which is extremely unsuitable for building a port directly. Originally, the Spaniards also built a canal, but later the flood was destroyed.

After the Truchens used concrete, there would be no concerns about being destroyed by floods.

On the lower reaches of the central and western coasts, the same big city stands tall.

The city of Matamoros to the south has only a simple wall, but this city, still named New Laredo, adopts the practice of rammed earth and bricks. After completion, it is close to the county town built in the empire, with a radius of about six miles.

Not far outside the city, there is also a magnificent building.

Pyramid!

By the way, Chu Feng took Zhang Henxue's suggestion and trimmed around a hill about 100 meters high and built it with neatly cut stones.

At the top of the pyramid is a platform with a circumference of about twenty square meters. There is a large cauldron in the middle of the platform. The cauldron has three legs, which is closely connected to the platform.

There is a stone step on each side of the north and south of the pyramid, with the stone step being about one meter wide.

To the north of the tower is a totem pole group of about one acre in radius. On the top of the tallest totem pole is a giant dragon about to rise into the air. Of course, this is a typical Chinese dragon!

A golden dragon!

Other totem poles cover the typical monsters of Indian tribes in the Americas, of course, mainly from Central America and North America.

To the south is a square, which is about a thousand square meters in radius, and there is also a flying dragon stone statue at the entrance, which is connected to the entrance archway.

This year is the last day of 1782 and the day when the pyramid building complex was completed. Zhang Henxue rushed over from Cuba.

Not only did he come, he also brought eight Mongolian shamans who followed him to America!

The square was full of people from various Indian tribes in Bravo. In addition to local ones, there were also those who came to farm with the Spanish, including the Apaches and the Comanches.

It's dense, and the entire square is almost covered.

The pot on the top of the pyramid was filled with natural oil obtained from Houston. With a huge drum sound, a Truchen cavalry from Turgut took down a large bow from behind and then put a rocket on it.

"Swish!"

The Rockets snatched the strings!

A fire flashed by, and then a big cauldron about a hundred meters away ignited a raging fire!

In an instant, the bells and drums on the top sounded, and eight shamans began dancing. Zhang Henxue was also dressed in a great shaman costume and began a grand ceremony to sacrifice to the sky.

The entire ceremony took place for about half an hour, and everyone in the audience was fascinated by it. Compared with the sacrificial rituals they had seen before, the buildings here were more magnificent, the priests' costumes were more gorgeous, and the masks they wore were more vivid.

Their dance was perfectly matched with the sound of bells and drums around them. With the last drum sound, Zhang Henxue on the stage suddenly rose from the ground!

I naturally played a fancy here. If I observed it on the stage, I could still see the truth. But from the stage, it seemed that he had completely emptied the air, and he was rising higher and higher. Finally, he stopped in the air about two feet from the top of the pyramid.

Zhang Henxue was holding a dragon-headed sword in her hand, which pointed straight into the sky. At this time, the followers on the stage quickly set off fireworks!

Today happened to be a dim and cloudy day. Fireworks with various ghost patterns in the sky instantly enveloped the sky with the pyramid as the center. Of course, a golden dragon in the middle!

At this moment, the heavens came to make a good look, and a thunder exploded!

This scene shocked the people in the audience. Seeing this scene, everyone was crawling on the ground and muttering to themselves.

Zhang Henxue began to spin down from a high place. When he returned to the top, the big rock in his heart finally fell.

"A new tribe has begun to form, this is the Bravo tribe! Everyone in the audience is Bravo people!"

However, among the crawling crowd, there was still a person standing!

This man was obviously a Spanish who came to watch the fun. He was about thirty or forty years old and wearing a cowboy hat. This man was obviously shocked just now, but he did not let him kneel down with the Indians until he saw the angry eyes of others.

Zhang Henxue also found this person and quickly attracted Chu Feng. Chu Feng quickly replied: "This person is Moreno. He is the accountant of the Mexican Governor's Office who came to Texas to inspect. Don't underestimate the accountant. He is also one of the staff of the Governor's Office Committee."

"He got ashore in Houston and rode to San Antonio. When he came back, he probably heard the noise from us. Especially, although the pyramid was not expensive, it was too swaggering, so he went straight to here."

"After coming here, he lived in the old town, probably with the Indians, and then mixed in with the crowd. Our people didn't notice it for a moment and actually let them get in"

Zhang Henxue looked at Moreno's back as he walked away, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"It's okay. He will definitely report to the Governor of Mexico when he returns, and the Governor will definitely put pressure on Antonio. The worst result is to force him to be independent early. Although it's a little earlier than we expected, it's okay. What about the Indians you trained?"

"Governor, you know that we only organized two men over ten years old from warrior families from tribes, concentrated in New Laredo, Matamoros, and trained in both places. The total number is about two thousand, of which about half of them are over fifteen years old"

"So you are the only one thousand new Bravo people except that cavalry brigade?"

“Yes”

"Very good, have they started learning to use rifles?"

"I have been studying for a month. Not only that, I also learned to ride a horse, but I definitely can't do it if I want to ride a horse to participate in battles."

"It's okay, if the Spaniards take action, they will definitely not target us directly. They dare not deal with us blatantly, they can only deal with Antonio first"

"At that time, you send a telegram to Cuba. There is only one battalion on the surface of Antonio, but in fact it is a regiment. Mexico is not so easy to take it down. At that time, you will be dispatched until Antonio can't hold on. At the same time, I will also dispatch a squadron and a Marine Corps to help."

“By the way, how is your planting, mining now?”

"Governor, for the past six months, I have been working hard on building two castles and pyramids. I have not done all my efforts to do these two sects. I have only carried out small-scale mining not far from the Bravo River. There are coal, iron and copper here. At present, we mainly mine coal mines."

"As for farming, Indian women should let them do their own things. It's just that our country's agricultural engineers are on the sidelines. The output is definitely not as high as that of Cuba. In addition, the energy is limited, the Indians only built thatched long houses, and they still carried out the regulations of one hundred households and one village."

"The construction of regular cottages will be carried out next year. According to the prospecting engineer, the best minerals are all in the valleys near Mount Madre. Without railway cooperation, it will be difficult to carry out"

Zhang Henxue shook his head, "It's already dry here. If the complex is placed here, it will definitely ruin a lot of river water. Naturally, it is directly set up in the valley, and there is smelting iron blocks and copper ingots. Before the railway is built, these things will be temporarily stored there"

"What if the war really started?"

"You're talking about the whole of Texas?"

"Of course yes"

"According to your majesty's intention, we should still support a country controlled by the Mysterious Society in North America to differentiate the Spaniards. The British naturally helped Antonio defeat the Spaniards"

"What after that?"

"It goes without saying that nowadays, our territory is all west of the Bravo River. When the war is over, we can ask Antonio for some land in the east of the river"
