1595Open up a New World

. . . . . .

To be honest, going to North America is just a fantasy. It is too difficult to transport the population and we can only go along the north side. It is too unsafe to go there in the Ming Dynasty, Korea and Japan, and it is even more unrealistic to go anywhere else to cross the Pacific. It's better to go to Japan and give it a try. It's more likely to become the King of Japan. Japan is a bunch of junk during the so-called Warring States Period. It's no problem for the protagonist to start a career with more than 100 elite soldiers.

There are sites such as Caral in the Supe Valley in the Xiaobei region. It is also the first civilization in the South American Andes called the Xiaobei culture (also called the Caral era), which was from 3000 BC to 1500 BC (the East Asian Xia Dynasty was at the same time). (Bolivia has large iron mines) Distributed in Bolivia and Peru, and expanded to Ecuador, Chile and northern Argentina. It dates from approximately the 5th to 10th centuries. The ruins of Tiahuanaco contain magnificent stone buildings. There is a foyer, square and altar built in front of the pyramid-style temple. Some of the stones weigh more than 100 tons. The metal processing industry of the Tiahuanaco Culture was relatively developed, and the gold, silver, copper and bronze products were very exquisite. It is generally believed that it inherited the Chawen culture and the Inca civilization, and played a role in the ancient Indian civilization of South America. The four countries in western South America from the 7th century to the 11th century! These four countries are already the bronze civilization circle in the Andes Mountains. They all have bronze swords, axes and spears, as well as bronze tools and agricultural tools. There are alpaca caravans of different sizes coming and going, and alpacas can carry up to 120 kilograms of stuff (goods). Sikan Kingdom in the north, Moche Kingdom in the central and northern parts, Wari Empire in the central and southern parts! The country of Diahuanaco is adjacent to the Amazon in the east. Around 750 AD, the environment in the area where the Moche people lived changed drastically. After the great flood, they encountered a severe drought with no rain for 30 years. Sandstorms caused a devastating blow to urban infrastructure, and canals and farmland were swallowed up by yellow sand. Coupled with rising seawater temperatures, fisheries are also affected. Natural disasters not only ruined the lives of the Moche people, but also destroyed their faith. A large number of people died, and the remaining people were forced to abandon their habitats. The Moche culture, which was flourishing for a while, also declined. The Kingdom of Huanca, from 1000 to 1450, north of Cusco, in the upper part of the Mantaro Valley, was actually just a loose alliance of chiefs. In 1450, the Incas destroyed Vanka. From 1200 to 1250, the Kingdom of Cusco in the center began to move to the Inca Empire. At the same time, the Kingdom of Chimu in the north began to destroy the Sican Kingdom in 1375, and was later destroyed by the Incas in 1470. (In the 11th century, the Indians established the "Kingdom of Quito" here. At the end of the 15th century AD, it became the political, economic and cultural center of the Inca Empire) In Colombia, the ancient Indians also invented a higher-level lost-wax casting technology. The wax mold is wrapped with a mud core, so that the casting is hollow, which saves a lot of metal than a solid casting and reduces the stress effect of the casting. Many ancient Indian gold casting artifacts were made using this unique lost wax method. The Inca oxidation gold plating and casting process was adopted by the Europeans. The Incas were good at metal smelting and processing, and were able to mine gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, platinum, mercury and other metals. The Incas mastered many metal processing techniques, such as casting, forging, molding, stamping, inlay, riveting, welding, etc. In the 16th century, the Peruvian Incas set up a post station at a distance of 8 kilometers along the well-built thoroughfare they built, and messengers ran to deliver messages. It is also called a post station for messengers and alpaca caravans to rest and stay. South America had no horses or vehicles before the Spanish colonists invaded. This kind of road for alpaca teams and messengers formed a network system extending in all directions from 1200 to 1530. It was a channel for the rulers of the Inca Empire to issue decrees, and it was also a transportation artery for the production, life and trade of the Inca people. At that time, the Inca rule ranged from central Chile in the south to Colombia in the north, including Ecuador and Bolivia. It was a large country with a population of more than 10 million. Corresponding road construction includes two north-south trunk lines: coastal stone road and plateau mountain road. The Aztecs built a complete road system among the city-states in Central America. They built a post station every 14 kilometers (14 kilometers) beside the road. The army could travel about 28 kilometers a day. When a war breaks out, they will arrange a messenger every 5 kilometers (5 kilometers) to quickly deliver letters through relays. A low-arsenic copper figurine was also found in the Atetelco courtyard at the Teotihuacan site, indicating that there was also a connection between Western Mexico and Teotihuacan, and that the practice of making copper was known to the Teotihuacan people before 600 AD. However, it is incredible that the bronze objects were not made into tools or weapons, but only human figures. Furthermore, the bronze artifact's date coincides with the collapse of the Teotihuacan polity and the formation of local petty polities. So some scholars see this as evidence of the restructuring of loyalties, alliances and trade networks. Around the 10th century AD, the Toltec Empire of the Nahua nation conquered the Maya and generally achieved the unification of Mesoamerica: In 1194, the Mayapan monarch Hunac Kel used bronze weapons, bows and arrows to conquer Chichen Itza. In 1441, Mayapan died in a civil war, which meant the Mayan centralized power collapsed. The remaining Xiu family later defected to the Spanish and became Spanish aristocrats who still exist today. On the Yucatan Peninsula, there are still some small Mayan states remaining. In 1526, a Spanish expedition (banditry) tried to use violence to establish a Spanish colony and enforce the Christian faith. The Mayans who refused to surrender launched a guerrilla war that lasted for more than a hundred years, until 1697, when the last Mayan city-state (the Kingdom of Peten Itza) was destroyed by Spanish artillery fire. (At that time, the Black Snake King of Itzamo had only three hundred canoes and two thousand warrior soldiers) The Tulum area was the location of the last Mayan kingdom, Peten Itza, and the last Mayan city to die. It is said that this is the best-preserved Mayan ruins and the only one built on the seaside with the most beautiful scenery. However, the resistance of the Mayans is far from over, and guerrilla warfare is still going on in the jungle. In addition, in 1761, there was an uprising that threatened colonial rule. A Mayan leader, Jacinto Can Ayke (his name was borrowed from the last king of the Peten Mayan regime), announced in the name of the Blessing of the Blessed Mother that he would liberate the Mayans from Spanish enslavement. However, this uprising was eventually suppressed by the Spanish. The Caste War of Yucatán was a racial conflict between the Mayans and the whites, which began in July 1847. In 1901, Mexican federal troops occupied Santa Cruz, the Mayan capital, and the war officially ended. In this war, the Mayans killed 250,000 white people at a cost of 50,000. On November 4, 1780, Tupac Avaru II, a descendant of the Inca royal family, launched the Inca Restoration Uprising. Initially 6,000 rebels grew to 50,000 by December. Staple foods: corn, potatoes (unique to South American origin), breadfruit (unique to Maya), cassava (unique to Haiti, Cuba), red rice and wild rice (North American wild rice), acorns and acorns (California, North America), sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes (South America), quinoa (South American Andes) Meat: (can be farmed) fish, river shrimp, sea snails, turkey, Muscovy duck, rabbit, peccary, iguana, (obtained from hunting) tapir, bullfrog (from southern North America to Central America), deer (Caribou, Central American white-tailed deer, South American deer is Andean red deer), crocodile, bison (North American ox), alpaca (South America), dolphin Rat (South America), capybara (South America, Amazon river), ostrich (South America including Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina), snow sheep (North American Rocky Mountains from Alaska southward to Oregon, Idaho and Montana in the United States, living on steep slopes and cliffs above the tree line), wilderness argali (Canada), Pronghorn antelope (northern Mexico to southern Canada), Eggs: turkey eggs, duck eggs, ostrich eggs Vegetables: pumpkin, black beans, kidney beans, amaranth, peanuts (South America), Inca beans (ice cream beans of the Amazon rainforest) Fruits: figs, avocados, egg yolks, papaya, sapodilla (The Mayans made chewing gum), guava, tomato, dragon fruit, melon (green fruit), white persimmon (Mexican apple is sweet and milky), black persimmon (Mexican green peel, brown and black flesh, sweet and cocoa taste), walnuts (North America), millet seeds (North America), cranberries (North America), blueberries (North America), grapes ( North America (Canada), strawberry (South America), pineapple (Brazil and Paraguay), peach palm (Amazon, red and orange can be ground), macchia (Patagonia Plateau, Mapuche people eat medicinal drinks), cherries (Chilean cherry) Sugar: honey, maple syrup (North America) Liquor: cocoa wine, dragon Tguela (high alcohol content and easy to get drunk), cactus wine, flower wine, mead, pineapple beer, corn beer, alpaca milk wine, alpaca milk (also alpaca yogurt, alpaca cheese, alpaca butter, alpaca dairy products), peach palm wine, macchi fruit wine Container: gourd, deerskin pot, crocodile leather pot, cowhide pot Drinks : Coconut (Central America, South American Amazon rainforest), Yerba Mate (South America), Yerba Mate (South America) Seasoning: salt, chili pepper, vanilla, chia seeds (can be pressed for oil), sunflower (can be pressed for oil), peanut oil, pepper (natural preservative), palm oil (Amazon), deer fat, beef tallow, sheep fat, ostrich oil. Lighting: wooden torches, small corncob torches, candles, ceramic oil lamps. Materials: Rubber, palm oil (palm trees), limestone, volcanic ash (there are many volcanoes in El Salvador), American bamboo (used as long bamboo pipes to blow the wind) Construction manpower time: Paso de la Armada ruins, the central settlement of the Mocaia culture in the Soconusco coast area in the southeastern isthmus region, its Building No. 2 Requires 488 people to work for one day or 20 people to work for nearly 25 days to complete; The "mortise and tenon technique" of South American stone buildings is mainly used for relatively regular rectangular stones. Through surface polishing and trimming, they achieve concave and convex interlocking and fix each other. Even if an earthquake shakes the stones for a while, they will fall back to their original positions, which can easily withstand the strong earthquakes that often hit the area. These two techniques are like completing a huge puzzle, with no gaps between them, not even an embroidery needle can be inserted. Clothing materials: cotton, alpaca, cowhide, deerskin, ostrich skin, rabbit skin, dog skin, leopard skin, crocodile skin, tapir skin, wolf skin, bearskin, cochineal red (cactus red bug), Refreshing: Cocoa beans (a cocoa tree can produce 1,000 to 2,500 cocoa beans), tobacco, coca (anesthetic, excitement), Special herbs: cinchona bark (Andes Mountains of Peru, South America), macchia medicine (fever, diarrhea, ulcers, childbirth), mint (USA and Canada, cold-resistant), Mayan analgesic (flowers, mushrooms, tobacco, alcohol used for smoking) Agriculture: The Maya in the Classic Period lacked manure technology and only had plant ash. Aztec farmers started manure. South American agriculture has popularized the use of alpaca and guano as manure. Water conservancy technology is well developed. Mineral distribution: Guatemala has lead, zinc, chromium, antimony, mercury, nickel, petroleum, and hematite. (There are copper and tin mines in the highland mountains of Guatemala) Hematite is also found in the Caminal Lake area. El Salvador has copper, iron, petroleum, coal, zinc, lead, mercury, sulfur, etc. Honduras has lead, zinc, copper, etc. Nicaragua has antimony, zinc, copper, lead, etc., And two places of oil. Costa Rica has iron, manganese, mercury, and bauxite. The reserves of bauxite, iron, and coal reach 150 million tons, 400 million tons, and 50 million tons respectively. Panama has copper, iron, mercury, bauxite, manganese, salt, oil, etc. (Copper, salt, and bauxite reserves are relatively large), Colombia has large coal mines, oil, copper, and iron. Cuba's large iron ore coal mine (there is a large open-pit iron mine in the southeast). Large copper and iron mines in southwestern Mexico, Oaxaca Canyon magnetite. The Rio Grande area (Atlantic Ocean) at the junction of the United States and Mexico is rich in iron ore, coal deposits, mercury deposits, copper deposits, lead deposits, and shallow oil. Andes Copper Mines Iron Ore. Amazon Iron Mine. Metal products: The Mayans (Yucatan Peninsula) traded in imported copper, gold, gold-copper alloys and silver. These figurines from the Mayan Yucatan Peninsula come from different areas of Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, and possibly Colombia. The bell found in Quirigua may also date to the 9th century: the bell was imported, but there is reason to think that it was cast locally. Papermaking: The Mayans began to use fig bark to make paper more than 2,000 years ago (more than 400 years ago). There are also deerskin paper, dog skin paper, and bison skin paper used in the Mexican city-state. Two thin pieces of wood are used as the cover for the front and back covers. Pen: Graphite pen is a very practical writing tool. A graphite pen is made from a long, thin stick of wood and a block of graphite. Blocks of graphite are ground into fine chips on wooden sticks and then glued together with grease. This graphite pen was widely used to record Mayan history, culture and other important information. Use cut conch shells as cartridges. Era: According to the Maya's precise calendar week calculation, this cycle takes 5,200 years as a cycle. The Fourth Era began in 3114 BC and is expected to end on November 23, 2012. (December 21, 2012) The Mayan calendar has 20 days in each month, totaling 18 months and a year, with an extra 5 days in January (5 days in 19 months) as the New Year holiday, making up a complete 365-day year. Population before Columbus entered the Americas (1500): 5 million in North America, including more than 300,000 in California, 25 million in Central America (including four to five million in the entire Mayan world in the early 16th century), 10 million in the Inca, other places The scattered numbers add up to about 10 million, including other places including the Caribbean Islands, Gran Colombia, the Amazon Rainforest, Brazil, and the Southern Cone. The two large Taíno islands may have 1 million each, and the Muisca has 1 million. The small tribes in Colombia are not behind the Muisca. Then there were 1 million Tupi people. At that time, the Amazon could also make artificial black soil, and there were large round villages all over the place. Sports: Football (a solid rubber ball, you can only hit the ball with your buttocks and arms), boxing (cotton gloves, cotton helmet), flying stick games (corncobs with feathers, training on spear throwing) Transportation: canals and coastal canoes, pedestrian roads, that is, the ancient settlers of the Yucatan Peninsula built causeways (sak bejo'ob, meaning white road), these causeways were sometimes built up to two and a half meters high to compensate for uneven terrain, and could be up to 15 meters wide, connecting buildings within the same community (the shortest known distance was 150 meters), or to the monumental centers of distant settlements (the longest length was 100 kilometers). But in addition to materializing power relations, these roads are also used for pedestrian traffic, commercial activities, processions and pilgrimages. The roads of the Andean civilization in South America were all traveled by people and alpacas. Transportation tools: wooden baskets, alpaca carriers Highway drain workers: Any city must have a clean water source for citizens to use. In the Mayan city of Sayel, because there are few small streams and rivers in the area, people can only collect rainwater and store it in underground tanks for use. By the end of the 19th century, Londoners were still drinking dirty water from the Thames. However, as early as the 15th century, you and your engineering team were already fighting to divert fresh water from inland streams to Mexico City. The water in Lake Texcoco contains too many minerals washed down from the surrounding mountains and is not suitable for drinking, even for washing or irrigating farmland. However, you have a huge problem to solve - how to move water through water. In other parts of Central America, aqueducts were built across rivers to divert fresh water from irrigation canals. These aqueducts are actually hollow logs mounted on wooden supports. On this basis, you took another big step forward and proposed your solution. You organize a large construction team to build a series of artificial islands. The workers first fixed the reed mats on the bottom of the lake at intervals of 3 to 4 meters. They then piled rocks, silt and sand on top of the raft until it sank to the bottom, forming a solid base capable of carrying a 5-kilometer-long aqueduct. The rest of the workers used bags of clay to make channels on the tops of the islands.

I'm really a coward. I was so persecuted by the Ming Dynasty that I didn't dare to rebel. It's because my knees have taken root.

There is a very big problem in novels about the protagonist's development overseas, and there is no way to solve it because of population! From 1200 to 1800, during these 600 years, less than 1 million Chinese went abroad. It was not until 1860 that the technology of ocean-going steamships gradually matured. Large steamships could transport thousands of people and could make two trips a year. Before 1860, sailboats could only be transported twice in three years, and one ship could only transport a few hundred people. From 1860 to 1880, the total number of Chinese who went overseas was about 1.3-1.5 Million, including 1-1.2 Million in Southeast Asia, 200-250,000 in America, and 50-80,000 in Australia. The Americas are too far away, tens of thousands of miles away from China. The protagonist wants to have the final say in the Americas, and he needs at least 1 million Chinese. But there is no solution. If more than 10,000 people are transported every year, the freight will cause the protagonist's financial ruin. But it is too easy for Europeans to immigrate to the Americas. More than 1 million people can immigrate easily a year! Even in the age of sailing ships, 100,000 people could easily immigrate every year! The Chinese will only be a very small minority in America!

No, even if you go overseas to establish a country, you still need to have enough Han people. If you have just a few people under your command, even if there is an epidemic, you will lose a lot of people in this era. Should you integrate others, or should others integrate you? North America is such a big place but its population is so small. Is it useful? Going to Nanyang is almost close to Dameng. You can go to Dameng and move people there, and you can completely rule it in just a few generations.

Anyone who knows a little bit knows that North America is not a good place. It looks good now because it was developed during the Industrial Revolution. In the agricultural era, just the absence of the East and West Mountains would make you despair. You'll be frozen to death all winter. Without modern technology, you would not be able to grow North American food. You don't think you can grow food just because you have plains, do you? Ignore the climate. Unless you go to the woods for hunting and other small gatherings like the Indians. Otherwise, just have fun.

The plot is okay, but the basic knowledge is simply Xiabi. Steel and steel are iron and steel. They are two different things. The steel production in the Ming Dynasty is endless. The steel in the Ming Dynasty is so-so.

You think that the Ming Dynasty radiates to Southeast Asia. In fact, it has large-scale garrisons all over the world. In the late Ming Dynasty, these garrisons were given to the Dutch and British by the Manchus. Emperor Yongzheng also hired the Dutch and British to hunt down the descendants of the Ming Empress all over the world.

To put it bluntly, this book is the story of Europe, the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty, as well as the traitorous black, white, and Japanese mixture led by the protagonist Sun, who work together to divide China.

I don't know why recently, the quality of Qidian's historical articles on the list is a bit low. Many authors take it for granted. The first part is full of contempt for scholars, thinking that accountants and businessmen alone can replace their roles. It's too natural. I have read several historical articles recently, all of which convey this view, which is a bit naive. However, this novel has a very novel point of view. Keep reading and see what happens next.

The protagonist does not distribute land to farmers, only grain. The land is cultivated in a farm mode. It is said that this can inhibit land annexation, prevent dynasty change, and end the three-hundred-year cycle of chaos. It is very unreasonable. The country has always provided food to support the people of the country, and taxes are deducted from the fields assigned to them. This is equivalent to saying that farmers can obtain food without any labor and do not have to worry about their livelihood. So what is the ambition? In addition, can the founding of North America be the same as that of China? In such a big place, you only have a few people now. You can annex the land and just annex it if there is no land. As for the industrial revolution when there is really no land in the future, the industrial revolution has already begun. Do you still have to worry about this problem? So I look down on Zhu Yuanzhang, thinking that he is bringing trouble to his descendants. When I look at it this way, you are worse than Zhu Yuanzhang!

I watched the beginning and it was a bit too dark. First of all, there is no official historical information about this military incident, and it has always been regarded as a rumor. Besides, even if there is evidence, Ming History burned almost all the original historical reference materials after it was compiled in the Qing Dynasty, leaving only a few fish that slipped through the net. This matter has also set a record for all history compilations. It only tells the facts and everyone thinks about it. Also, I hope there will be a rational discussion and please don't delete my post.

Immigration across the Pacific is hard to imagine Why not go to Southeast Asia? Southeast Asia has rice and sugar, so what North America can't compare to Southeast Asia

There is no system, no population, and no legitimacy. Who will accompany you to risk your life to open up a new world. It is better to find a way to go to Japan and become the Japanese shogun. Change the Japanese cultural system to the modern Japanese legal system step by step. It is more reasonable to take Japanese people who have received modern Chinese education and modern Japanese systems to the Americas. If you don't want to do this, then bring the system. The Europeans on the opposite side have their motherland supporting colonial activities, and the protagonist is directly pushed aside.

The most recent place of development is not elsewhere, but the island of Hokkaido. Because in the 17th century, there were no powerful forces in the entire Hokkaido, and the Japanese had no actual control over it.

Being able to organize such a large-scale and cross-time immigration (colonization), and being able to rule stably over such a long distance, is better than a country. It is even more difficult to have the ability to directly separate and seize the Ming Dynasty. It makes no sense that you can't do what the Jurchen tribe can do?

It's really weird that Europe is allowed to proselytize. It's true that we should take down all the Americas and then clean up the Europeans.

It's okay if we don't stay in the outer northeast region to develop. In fact, there are 5 million soldiers and civilians in Liaodong, which is enough to serve as a base. But after entering into North America, why did it give up the development of Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and Kamchatka? I can't understand it at all. Is there any other way besides the eastward current in the North Pacific? Isn't it all about replenishing the population? Oh, let's go to Luzon to attract people. Doesn't this person want to go north to Hokkaido and then use the ocean currents to go north? ? ?

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient. To put it bluntly, if you didn't travel through time and become an emperor, you didn't use national power to engage in North America or ocean hegemony.

How should I put it? I have only read about half of the hundreds of chapters, and most of them have been skipped, because I only need to read one chapter in the middle. After looking at the titles of the following chapters, I will roughly know what is written in the middle.

I want to ask the protagonist where he got the ocean-going ship? How did you get the water pattern data of the Pacific Ocean? How do you know about the Pacific Ocean Route? Crossing the Pacific is much more difficult than crossing the Atlantic.

This book is a bit slow to catch on. If you are interested, you can join a book club to brag about it. 745042000 Those who are interested in Red Dead Redemption can also read the author's previous book.

I only see arrogance in the novel. Most of the time after the Jin Dynasty, foreigners occupied the core areas of the Han people. The Sui and Tang Dynasties were also a fusion of Hu and Han cultures. The Northern Song Dynasty paid protection fees to the Liao Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was wiped out by 200,000 Hou Jin. Is this the advanced Han culture? The time traveler already knows the general trend of the future and some advanced knowledge, but he is still a grassroots officer. Is this not enough for the development of logical reasoning? Whether it's shipbuilding, liquor, or firearms, how many people understand it? Moreover, these are also using the technologies of future generations. So where will the innovation of your regime be in the future? How much can you solve by yourself, and how will your regime compete with the European powers in the future? Among the great powers, except Japan and Russia, they did not carve up the Qing Dynasty. That was because the Qing Dynasty was too far away and too big, and they did not want other powers to take advantage of it. If you go to North America, can they not carve you up? Your population alone is of no use, you are just making wedding clothes for them. The survival rate of Europeans immigrating to North America in the early decades was less than 30%. You directly saved their time. It would be strange if they didn't come to carve you up. It will be difficult for your regime to persist. You should think clearly about how your regime can persist to the end and grow stronger. If you simply cheat on later technologies through cheating, you will only have a short-term advantage or even be equal at best. What happens after that?

The protagonist is a bit humorous. The Indians do not want to bear the infamy like the old Americans. It is too funny. Once the national consciousness awakens, you will know who is the master of the Americas. Just like those countries in South America, even the mixed-race people think that the Han people brought by the protagonist are invaders. Also, what caused the mass deaths of Indians was not massacres, but diseases, and they were zoonotic diseases. In other words, the protagonists are pathogens, and they don't want to kill the Indians. It's really humorous.

How about this one? Compare 1630 Traveling Through South America

The writing is very good, don't listen to those idiots, it's good to be able to write like this. I feel like this book is better than many historical texts. I'm tired of reading it every day. There are only two books that start a new business outside, one is this one, and the other is the Malay Peninsula one. They are both well written. If you want to read the kind of orthodox historical texts, go to the historical section and look for them. Don't talk about it here.

What is May Day? Isn't it Labor Day😐

Don't you want to ascend the throne? Then it will be over.

I also want to see the whole of North America conquered. Is this considered a waste? Fortunately, I have ordered a lot of books since I read them through QQ. Alas, I can't be too demanding. After all, I am writing books part-time. I'll just read books by great authors in the future.
