Chapter 865: The Allied Forces of Spain, France and Portugal, and the Impact of Ming Ming Immigration

After dinner, Zhu Aoshan brought a large screen to connect to the mobile phone, which made it convenient for Zhu Cijiong and his family to video chat with Zhu Aeshan and Hao Guangming.

After the video was connected, Zhu Hechen and Hao Xiying were also on the other side. It was a video of a gathering of two families.

After some pleasantries, Zhu Yurao and Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but talk about national affairs, or military and political affairs in America.

Hao Guangming was naturally involved, and Zhu Yaoshan was also listening with interest - after all, she had also been a supervisor of the Ming Empire for more than half a year, and had learned a lot of information on the Internet in later generations, and now she also has an understanding of state affairs. Insights.

Seeing this, Fu Xue asked the two concubines and the wet nurses to take the children away, while she personally poured tea and water.

"Yan Yingyuan said in the telegram that ten days ago you led the king's army to pull out the next three Mexican strongholds in Chihuahua?"

The Chihuahua Zhu Yurao mentioned was a state in northern Mexico in another time and space. Zhu Cijiong had a map of another time and space in his hand. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "Not bad."

He was not surprised that Zhu Ailao learned about this from Yan Yingyuan.

The Ming Empire now not only established vassal states to develop America, but also followed the example of its original expansion of Yingzhou and established the North American capital.

In order to escort the vassal kings and the North American capitals in the Americas, Admiral Yan Yingyuan now leads the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Eastern Navy to control the west coast of North America and the west coast of Central America, and is competing with the Spanish fleet for control of the Pacific waters of South America. right.

With the current strength of the Ming Navy, it is natural that it is not afraid of the Spanish fleet, which has begun to decline.

It's just that the Spanish fleet has land support in South America, but the Oriental Navy does not. In addition, the imperial court has no plans to set foot in South America, so the Oriental Navy has stopped at the west coast of Central America.

If we don't care about the gains and losses after the war, the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Navy can completely defeat the Spanish fleet from showing up in the Pacific.

In fact, Spain currently does not have many warships in the Pacific, and mainly relies on land troops and coastal defense artillery for defense.

On land, the coalition forces composed of the Dingwang Territory, the Yongwang Territory, and the North American Dusi are constantly developing territories and strongholds.

The army and navy sometimes need to carry out some military cooperation. As the admiral of the Dongyang Navy, it is normal for Yan Yingyuan to know Zhu Cijiong's latest military developments and report to Zhu Aelao.

Zhu Yucao said: "Although Spain has lost its dominant position in Europe, it is still the strongest colonial power in the Americas among European countries.

Their two major viceroyalties of Peru and Mexico have been established for hundreds of years, and they are deeply rooted in America.

Although Chihuahua is only the northern edge of the Viceroyalty of Mexico and has only been developed for a few years, but now that all the strongholds have been removed, I am afraid that the Spanish Governor of Mexico will not give up."

Zhu Cijiong smiled and said, "They can come whenever they want. Can we still be afraid of them?"

Zhu Yuyao reminded: "Spain, France, and Portugal are now united in America, and they all regard the Ming Dynasty as their number one enemy. The strength of their coalition is definitely not bad. Don't be careless."

Only then did Zhu Cijiong show a serious look, nodded and said: "I know this, please don't worry, Sister Huang."

Then he asked, "Aren't Spain, Portugal, and France not dealing with each other in Europe? Especially Portugal, which was independent from Spain only a few years ago, how can it be possible to put aside the past feud and unite with each other in America?"

At this time, Zhu Aishan couldn't help but said: "Brother Wang has been a feudal lord for several years. Don't you understand that there is only a relationship of interest between countries?

The relations between these three countries in Europe are already complicated, and their grievances are entangled. Now the Ming Dynasty is like a tiger descending from the mountain in America, and it is difficult to resist it. It is normal for them to unite to fight."

On the other side, Hao Guangming thought that Spain had attempted to take back Portugal when the new king of Portugal, Alfonso VI, succeeded to the throne three years ago. In the history of this time and space, it was because he was defeated by Portugal in two battles.

Ruin this plan.

In Zhu Yurao's time and space, due to the Ming Empire, Spain obviously regarded the fight against the Ming Dynasty in the Americas as its top priority, which prompted the formation of the Spanish, French, and Portuguese American coalition forces.

It should be noted that Portugal and France originally competed with Spain for colonies in America, so it was not easy for them to unite.

After talking about dealing with the American coalition forces of Spain, France, and Portugal, several people talked about the current situation of the Dingwang Territory.

Mainly because Zhu Aoshan and Zhu Cijiong were chatting, Zhu Aoshan and Hao Guangming actually knew about the situation of Dingwang leader.

In the past six years, Ding Wangling has carried out three more immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, and a total of nearly 100,000 people have immigrated to America.

The number of immigrants each time was about 30,000, but 8,000 of them were former Korean people and 3,000 were women purchased from Japanese celebrities.

This is because the immigrants from the Ming Dynasty are mainly young and strong men. Although Dingwang has issued many policies to encourage Indian women to marry Ming people, the registered people in Dingwang still have more men than women, and many people are single.

.

Therefore, in the past few years, four vassal kings, including Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cizhen, have been allowing immigration fleets to purchase women from Japan.

Judging from the information sent back from Japan by the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town, the purchase of women from Japan by the princes of the Ming Dynasty actually changed Japanese customs.

In the past, when giving birth to a child in Japan, boys were given priority. If a family could not support many people, it was common for a baby girl to drown.

But nowadays, there is a trend of favoring girls over boys in Japan. Ordinary families regard the birth of a girl as a great joy.

Because when a girl is raised, even if she has no skills, she can still sell herself to the princes of the Ming Dynasty, so that the family can get a "large" income.

If you think this is a cruel thing for Japanese women, you are totally wrong.

In fact, every time a ship brought immigrants from the Ming Dynasty came over, Japanese women rushed to register with the officials responsible for the matter. Some women even gave money bribes in order to obtain "immigration qualifications", and some even

Not willing to sell his body.

Because for these Japanese women, being able to immigrate overseas and marry a Ming man from the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to changing their fate at once - at least they will not starve to death like some people who stayed in Japan.

For Japan, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of women are immigrated every year, which naturally has a negative impact.

That is, there are fewer and fewer adult Japanese women (over 14 years old), and more and more bachelors.

The way the Tokugawa shogunate and the various daimyo solved this problem was very simple, that is, to launch a war. Of course, it was not a fight with the Ming Dynasty, but the daimyo fought with each other to consume the extra young and strong men among the common people, so that there were more men than women.

There will be no more conflicts.

In six years, King Ding brought over 130,000 immigrants, and even more naturalized Indians, numbering over 200,000!

In other words, King Ding now leads nearly 400,000 registered people!

The word "common people" is not wrong. Whether it is in the Ding Kingdom or other kingdoms in the Ming Dynasty, when naturalized natives and immigrants from other countries are qualified to become common people in the Ming Dynasty Kingdom, the first thing they have to do is to choose a surname for themselves.

In the past, civilians in Korea and Japan did not have surnames, but now that they have immigrated to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they all have surnames. In their minds, their class has really improved.

As for the natives of Yingzhou and America, they are only curious about having a Ming surname and have no other ideas.

The territory of King Ding had expanded very rapidly in recent years because Zhu Cijiong was keen on fighting.

Judging from the North American map of Hao Guangming's time and space, the current territory of Dingwang Territory mainly includes the southern third of California, Arizona, New Mexico, as well as Chihuahua and Baja California in Mexico.

most.

However, some of these places were established by North American governors, such as La Paz, the capital of Baja California on the peninsula, which is now called Zhulang Qianhu Station.

In addition, at the junction of Dingwang Territory and Yongwang Territory, North American Dusi also established three thousand households offices, forming a curve extending to the center of North America.

They chatted for more than an hour, but Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Aishan still felt that they still had some unfinished thoughts.

But Fu Xue repeatedly reminded that it was getting late.

Zhu Cijiong immediately smiled and said: "I didn't expect that my little sister has so many insights on military affairs. Although I wish I could talk to my little sister at night by candlelight, it's getting late today, so let's talk tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhu Aoshan nodded, "Brother Wang just came back today, so he should rest early. However, when Brother Wang goes south to fight against the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms of Spain, France and Portugal in a few days, he must take me with him."

Zhu Cijiong laughed and said: "If you can get the consent of the imperial sister on this matter, I will have no objection."
