The eastern part of Peru is really a paradise for farming people.
There are several rivers flowing from the Andes Mountains.
Traffic is abundant and stable.
And the rainfall here is also very abundant. But it is not like the endless tropical rain forest like the Amazon basin.
Li Daxin and the others quickly found an area to establish a farm in the plain area.
At first they only cultivated a river called the Aine.
This area belongs to the Juning area, a plain out of the river valley, and was originally under the jurisdiction of Donghua.
The small number of white manor owners who were already here could easily be dealt with.
Daxin didn't expect that he would continue farming when he got here. He thought he was going to work in the mines.
And here, they still grow rice. However, the climate here is indeed similar to that of their hometown in Fujian.
It just needs to be warmer. And once you enter the plains, you can rarely see mountains.
This is much better than in Fujian.
Daxin's hometown in Fujian is full of mountains, otherwise he wouldn't have to leave his hometown.
In the following year, more and more Chinese came to Peru.
Many of them migrated from their hometowns in Fujian and Guangdong.
After the newcomers arrive, Daxin, as an old man, will naturally be able to be promoted.
At the beginning, Daxin became the leader of the work team, leading more than a dozen people to work together.
There are also a few Indians in the group, and these people are really not good at farming.
It was a bit difficult to communicate, which made Daxin feel very distressed.
Every time a task is assigned to these Indians, it takes half a day to figure it out.
Fortunately, these people have relatively gentle temperaments and are not the savages Daxin imagined.
The ruler and his wife often come to the farm to check on them. They are a young couple who seem to be very kind.
The Indians had great respect for the wives of the great rulers.
The Great Ruler always greeted them and asked if they had any difficulties in life.
This moved the Chinese workers very much.
Now Daxin also knows that these local indigenous people who look somewhat similar to him are called Indians.
It is said that he is a descendant of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Daxin was just a farmer and didn't know about the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but when he was listening to books, he heard about King Wu's attack on Zhou.
It turns out that they are the descendants of King Zhou. No wonder these people are very close to animals. The queen of King Zhou is a vixen!
Each of those Indian children has a pet. A long black monkey, a parrot with bright feathers, and some Indian children always hold a motionless monkey-like thing on their body, which others say is called a sloth.
Daxin is not young anymore. With the conditions of his family, it is difficult for Daxin to find a wife. There is a high probability that he will be single.
But good news followed. After an inspection, the ruler announced that for workers of suitable age, the farm could help them find a daughter-in-law.
The Queen of the Indians, the Queen of the Indians, helped organize this matter.
In order to integrate Indians and Han people together more quickly, Dong Shutong came up with this method, that is, intermarriage.
The situation among the local Indians is that there are more girls than boys. Because of the wars between tribes, these Indian tribes have lost a large number of men.
Therefore, there are many single women in the tribe.
Zhumu arranged for these women to be matched with Chinese laborers and start a family together. This was allowed in Indian customs.
In addition, Dong Shutong also asked the fleet to bring some women from China. All the Chinese who had been there married Indian wives, so the Indians were the last to be assimilated.
At that time, in the Qing court's ruling area, buying a girl only cost a few taels of silver.
Much simpler than immigrant labor.
Of course, these Chinese women came later.
Daxin came earlier, so the daughter-in-law he married was an Indian.
As a farmer, I don't care how my wife looks like.
The key is to have a big butt and be fertile.
Daxin's daughter-in-law is like this. Apart from the inability to communicate normally between the two, Daxin is still satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
At least this Indian woman is very diligent and keeps their little house clean every day. Her cooking skills are not bad and she can also make pancakes.
However, he asked his brother Sanpao not to marry a wife for the time being and wait until the Han girl comes to marry him.
He was no longer young and couldn't afford to wait. Although it was said that this Indian was a descendant of the Yin Shang Dynasty and was not considered a different breed, Daxin still felt alienated.
If I were to give birth to a child, I wouldn't be like those Indians, spending all day naked with animals.
Daxin decided to go back and teach his Indian daughter-in-law to speak Chinese, otherwise she would be in trouble in the future if she followed the Indians and spoke their language.
He found that he usually focused on doing exercises with his wife and lacked necessary communication, which was wrong.
Six months later, Daxin's daughter-in-law became pregnant.
Sanpao also divided the Han wives.
Being away from home, with his eldest brother as his father, Daxin is very satisfied with the current situation.
A few years ago, the brothers wrote letters of safety to their families and sent a sum of money back.
Although I am as tired as an ox from working every day, I am still far away from home.
But after all, the brothers have found a good home.
When his wife gave birth, Daxin officially took root here.
But before Daxin's wife had a baby, he was transferred to build a new factory.
The new farm is further east. Here is another river.
In fact, this is the Urubamba River, which already belongs to the La Montaña region.
The increase in population and improvement in strength made Dong Shutong decide to take the risk to expand here.
Having more land means that Donghua can recruit more people.
Those Indians who work in white manors are also targets that can be fought for. As long as there is land allocated to them, the banner of Zhumu can be used.
Don't worry if these Indians don't surrender.
Many Indians now privately call Zhumu the Queen of the Indians and the Liberator of the Indians.
Compared to Dong Shutong, Zhumu is more like a leader.
As its strength grows, the ambitions of Donghua, a new force in Peru, are also expanding.
There have even been proposals to overthrow and replace the Peruvian government.
Li Daxin didn't know much about big shots, he just knew how to do things according to orders and get his wages on time every month.
Now Donghua has introduced a new policy.
That is, workers who have served on the farm for more than three years, performed well, and started a family can be assigned a piece of land of their own and be separated from the farm.
Li Daxin asked someone to inquire and found out that the land he would be allocated would not be less than a hundred acres. This made Daxin very excited.
Previously, the policy of dividing territories in Donghua only targeted the standing army of the army.
It's just that Daxin and Sanpao don't seem to be soldiers. They can survive as militiamen.
This time Daxin was transferred to the east to build a new farm, and the name of this farm was "Xinxiang Farm".
Here in Donghua, there are many names like this. For example, there are farms called New Suzhou, New Changzhou...
Xinxiang is not bad, a new hometown.
Since he was already considered an old man on the farm, Daxin was promoted again this time and became the director of a working area.
He is equivalent to the director of a branch farm. He has a total of four to five hundred people under his command, managing tens of thousands of acres of land.
This is all wasteland and needs to be reclaimed from scratch.
Because it is close to a river, it only needs to be built with canals for irrigation and drainage.
As for the originally dense vegetation along the river, all it needed was a fire.
The farm has cattle and draft horses, and most things can be done with the help of livestock. It's much better than at home.
The farm had just got on track when an accident happened.
At the beginning of this year, a group of white robbers attacked the farm.
At that time, Daxin still led people to work in the fields. The climate here allowed the land to be cultivated all year round.
So when you're on a farm, you basically don't have any free time.
A burst of gunshots came from a distance, frightening Daxin.
Although they would shoot once in a while, they basically never encountered any kind of battle.
There are Donghua's standing troops guarding the farm, but the number is not large.
Li Daxin immediately asked his farmers to drop their hoes.
Then they ran all the way back to the field headquarters' arsenal.
There were already people gathering at the door, waiting to receive guns and ammunition.
The farm usually conducts drills on what to do if it encounters such an attack.
After receiving guns and ammunition, thousands of militiamen rushed to the scene of the incident to provide support under the command of the farm militia commander.
Daxin and more than a hundred of his men also set off with the team.
After leaving the farm, they saw a group of bandits consisting of hundreds of mixed-race people attacking the farm's watchtower.
There were only a few dozen standing army soldiers in the watchtower, and they were struggling to support themselves.
When Li Daxin and the others arrived, these people didn't even run away. They even divided their forces and rushed towards Li Daxin and the others.
It’s so arrogant!
Although the fighting skills of these militiamen were not very good, the bandits could not withstand the intense volleys fired by thousands of guns.
Sure enough, after a fight, these people suffered heavy casualties.
Under the joint encirclement and suppression by the standing army in the watchtower, none of these people escaped.
A few days later, a white manor owner came with a document saying that the land on the farm belonged to them.
Haha, it’s a joke. The land here was reclaimed bit by bit by Daxin and the others.
Now these people are holding a blank piece of paper and want to take it away.
Who doesn’t know how to write in black and white?
Although these white manor owners were driven away, even Daxin could understand that this matter would not end so simply.
