Chapter 1481 The Exploitation Method of the Empire
Chapter 1481 The way of developing the empire
"How great it is that I think this is the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Turns out this is it!"
With the information he asked, General Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
As the march south continued, conflicts with the Spanish increased, and the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which had only been heard about but not personally contacted, became a thorn in everyone's mind.
According to intelligence, the Viceroyalty of New Spain plays a decisive role in Spain and is also an important cornerstone of Spain's dominance in Europe.
You can imagine how difficult it is to fight such a behemoth.
After all, they are far away from their homeland and it is not easy to get support.
However, after receiving conclusive information this time, everyone suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the giant that the Europeans thought of.
Although the entire Viceroyalty of New Spain has the king's cronies as the governor and a prince as the deputy governor, and rules an area almost as large as the Middle-earth, there are only about 5,000 regular troops, and they are distributed over a vast area.
Although the Spanish colonists also had fighting capabilities, what was the difference between them and the immigrants from the empire?
There are many immigrants in the empire, and they all have mastered fighting skills.
"The natives don't know anything, so they have to teach them from scratch. It delays things too much."
Speaking of this, Fu Xinyuan also has a headache.
There is really a shortage of people everywhere, and every place is green in order to grab people's attention.
Fortunately, Wu dismissed his complaints as complaints, but remained relatively calm.
After the construction of the city was confirmed, Xinhua City began to immigrate and transport supplies.
How many troops does the Empire currently have in the New World?
Not much.
That's not what Lu Xinze cares about.
"Hmph, if we didn't have too few warships, I would have just fought over them."
The New World has the longest distance and the highest cost of immigration, so we can only be ranked last and cannot compete with other places.
Lu Xinze was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but he also knew that this was the only way at the moment.
As a result, the Viceroyalty of New Spain only had 5,000 troops.
This was one of the reasons why the empire was unwilling to follow the path of Western colonizers.
"Building a factory is easy, but I need workers. Can you give me the new batch of immigrants?"
This can help them integrate into a more advanced society as soon as possible, master more advanced technologies, and greatly improve their living standards.
"Nowadays, there are really not enough immigrants coming out of the country. We here in Alaska can get even less. The total number of this group is less than 100,000. If they are all given to you, what is the use of building this city?
?Well, I'll give you half. For the missing part, you recruit from the local indigenous people."
However, when the number of third-level battleships increases to twenty, and the size of the entire fleet exceeds one hundred, then the offensive and defensive changes will begin.
"The Viceroyalty of New Spain is not scary, but we are afraid that if we attack here, we will attract Spanish troops from other areas. We can't handle it."
After successively receiving capital injections from the imperial family, Wang Shizhong, Zhang Haogu, the Pan family and the Qu family of Songjiang Prefecture, and Chen Ding of Fujian Province, Lu Xinze came to the New World.
Now that San Francisco is being built, Lu Xinze has come personally.
Fu Xinyuan also has the same attitude.
Lu Xinze is also a ruthless person.
For the natives of the New World, this approach is undoubtedly a great thing.
Because more ships can control the ocean, making it difficult for the opponent to move forward.
Western colonists only regarded these places as fat sheep for plundering wealth. As for the development of these places that had been included under their rule, they did not care.
At the beginning of the colonial movement, this indeed helped Western countries earn huge amounts of wealth and greatly enhanced national strength.
"Then just fight with the Spaniards. When the number of our warships comes up, it will be useless for the Spaniards to have more troops."
Everything is fake, only the boat is real.
There is a unification war going on in the country, and even the Northern Military Region is involved, so there is really no way to reinforce this side.
Nowadays, the Lu family's industries are spread all over the country, and they are expanding with the expansion of the empire.
Whoever has more ships is the king.
Xinhua City can be said to be the result of Dongdayang Group.
The group has three branches: Dongdayang Cement Factory, Dongdayang Brick and Tile Factory, and Dongdayang Construction Group, which specialize in providing assistance for project construction.
Each operates its own business and each bears profits and losses.
Fu Xinyuan laughed, pointed at the deserted land and said, "You know all the relevant requirements for building a factory. There are plenty of places, you can take your pick."
The Viceroyalty of New Spain, which I had been worried about for many years, was actually not worthy of its name. You can imagine the anger in my belly.
There are currently only seven third-class battleships in San Francisco. Although they are powerful, they are insufficient in number and can easily be endlessly harassed by the Spanish with their numerous ships.
Lu Xinze is Lu Hao's nephew.
This era is different from later generations in that there are no advanced means of communication and transportation. The longer the distance, the remote control becomes extremely difficult.
Spain has four major viceroyalties in the New World, and they can also mobilize troops from the mainland. If they really need the strength of the whole country to attack, they really can't defeat it.
In addition, the wealth accumulated by the Lu family is also enviable.
Today's imperial people have understood the essence of overseas colonization and development.
Then he started looking for investment everywhere.
Alaskans were really happy about his arrival.
Ever since Zuo Mengeng obtained the formula for making cement, the Lu family has begun to expand rapidly, and their wealth has increased rapidly.
After the separation, we didn't want to start a business, we just wanted money and technology.
In addition to the fact that we are all still relatives, the industries of each family are no longer integrated.
Separation in the true sense of the word.
Just two security guards, more than 20,000 yuan!
Based on the experience gained from fighting the Spanish army in Luzon, one security division was enough to deal with five times the Spanish army.
As the results continued to develop, Lu Hao suddenly discovered that it had reached a point where he could no longer control it.
"Xinhua City is still too far away, and it is not cost-effective to transport building materials. I plan to build a branch factory here, and the provincial government will have to find a good place."
So Lu Hao gritted his teeth, called a few brothers, and simply separated the family.
However, when each colony developed for a period of time and the colonists gradually integrated with the locals, they became dissatisfied with the plunder of the mother country.
Now Lu Xinze has named his company Dongdayang Construction Engineering Group.
Lu Xinze from the Lu family came over personally.
Fu Xinyuan also woke up from his anger and nodded in agreement.
This also provided conditions for the independent movement to flourish in the future.
In the end, these places broke away from Western colonial rule and established independent countries one after another. It also caused the original colonial empires to gradually decline and withdraw from the world's powerful countries.
Zuo Mengeng learned a lesson from this.
Every time you occupy a land, develop it. Enhance the sense of belonging of the new territory in a softer way, so that you can ensure long-term peace and stability.
