Golden City, Prince Huai's Mansion.
Compared with the magnificent mansions built in Washington City and Kinmen City, Prince Huai's Mansion in Golden City can only be described as "old and broken".
This mansion was built by King Huai Zhu Hekun in the thirty-sixth year of Hongxing's reign. It has only been around for fifteen years now. Logically speaking, it is not considered old, but because it has not been properly maintained for more than ten years, it looks old and dilapidated. Apart from the relatively large area, there is really nothing that reminds people of the palace...
However, Huai Wang Zhu Hekun and his family have been living here for more than ten years.
Speaking of which, his prince was really careful.
But he can’t live his life without careful planning!
There is no real gold to be mined in the Golden State of the United States. Although the land is abundant and fertile, he, as the king, has little fortune.
After all, the population base is just this, how much can be scraped?
What's more, the people below are all mobs where everyone has a gun! Who dares to levy excessive taxes from them?
Zhu Hekun didn't want anyone to take advantage of him! And he doesn’t dare to ban guns—even if he could, he wouldn’t!
There is Rome in the south of the Golden State, and Britain in the east. From time to time, there will be nomadic Indian tribes around. If everyone didn't have a gun, they would have been wiped out long ago.
So let the house be a little dilapidated, as long as you can live in it.
Seeing that the King of Jinzhou can manage the country diligently and frugally, and share the joys and sorrows with everyone, it will be easier for the gun-toting mob below to unite.
Because of the unity of the top and bottom, the castles along the Golden River and White Galaxy were able to stand firm.
The Golden State mob has some weight in the United States - they are the spearhead of the United States' eastward advance!
Therefore, not only does the Golden State have many seats in the United States Government, but when it comes to major decisions related to the future of the Golden State, the United States Government and the King of the United States must seek the opinions of the Golden State in advance.
If Jinzhou does not agree, this matter may not work.
"Your Majesty, the King of United States, the Uyghur Government, and the Cabinet Office mean to recognize the country established by Iron Khan. As long as his people can temporarily stop coming to Jinzhou, Gaozhou, and Dezhou to cause trouble, we might as well recognize his khanate.
Besides, Iron Khan is now strong enough. Whether we admit it or not, they all want to build a country. So let’s just admit it…”
The one who was talking to Zhu Hekun in the palace hall was Yamamoto Tojo who had just arrived.
The person listening to him was of course Zhu Cihong's second son Zhu Hekun.
Yamamoto is talking about the recognition of Indian nationhood... This is almost the biggest issue in the New World.
And it is an epoch-making event - the Indians are finally standing up!
Not only do they want to build their own country, but this country is also a nomadic khanate that is very difficult to deal with!
Although the number of households in the Little Soviet Union is not large, there are only thirty-eight thousand households in total. But their way of life - gathering nomads, determines that this khanate that is about to enter the stage of history will be difficult to eliminate!
Thirty-eight thousand families gathered together, and there were no less than 50,000 warriors who could hold spears and draw bows. These are not 50,000 old farmers cultivating the land, but 50,000 warriors from a nomadic and hunting tribe!
And he was also equipped with homemade bows and muskets from New Rome and the United States!
Of course, the most difficult thing to deal with is not their bows, arrows, muskets and numbers, but their nomadism... The thirty-eight thousand households are not fixed in one place waiting to be beaten, but are moving back and forth on the vast plains. sports.
The Great Plains in central North New Zealand stretches from the Caribbean Sea in the south to the Arctic Circle in the north!
Once the thirty-eight thousand households become nomadic, it will be difficult to locate them, and it will be even more troublesome to conquer them. Moreover, in this era, whether it was the United States of New Continent, New Rome, New France, or the Republic of New England, their actual control areas on the Great Plains were very limited.
The United States of New Zealand is a "line" of the Golden State, a few points of Gaozhou, and a small piece of Texas. Among them, Jinzhou, the most populous, has only 30,000 households and 200,000 people, while Texas has only 20,000 households and 1,340,000 people. Gaozhou has an even smaller population, with only more than 10,000 households and less than 100,000 people.
The combined population of the three states is only over 400,000, and they have long since given up their hard nomadic life and instead built forts and settled down. How much territory can they control?
The total number of white immigrants in New France and New Rome combined is less than 400,000! Most of them, nearly 300,000 people, lived in the Roman Empire's province of New Rome, later known as Louisiana. The remaining Romans lived on both sides of the Lawrence River in the province of New France in the eastern part of the New World, not on the Great Plains.
As for the white population of the United Kingdom of New England, it is larger, with as many as 700,000 to 800,000 people! But most of them were concentrated in the narrow strip of the East Coast, and only a handful entered the fringes of the Great Plains west of the Appalachian Mountains to settle.
In other words, the population of the United States, the Roman Empire, and the United Kingdom on the Great Plains was only 700,000 at most, and they were all settled.
With a settled population of more than 700,000, how could it be possible to eliminate the 38,000 nomadic households in the boundless plains and grasslands? It would be unscientific to eliminate them... In fact, most of the time, the people in power in the United States, New Rome and the United Kingdom did not know where those thirty-eight nomadic families of the Soviet Union were?
Moreover, the contradiction between the United States and New Rome is not small. In the past twenty years, the two countries have fought many wars around the territory of Texas.
Both warring parties want to win over the small Soviet Union for their own use! Therefore, they did not hesitate to provide muskets, iron tools and gunpowder to the Little Soviet Department, thus greatly improving the equipment level of the Little Soviet Department.
By 1699 AD, the Indians in the Little Soviet Union did have the capital to build a nation!
After hearing what Yamamoto Chaoshang said, King Huai Zhu Hekun just said nothing.
It seems inevitable that the Little Soviet Union will turn into the Great Soviet Khanate!
But once the Great Soviet Khanate was established, the Indians on the Great Plains had their own motherland!
With the name of the Khanate, it can be on an equal footing with the United States, New Rome, and New England, and the process of integrating the various Indian hunting tribes in the Great Soviet Khanate will be accelerated.
The 38,000 nomadic households in the current Little Soviet Union may seem like a lot, but compared to the scattered hunting Indians on the Great Plains, they are still only a handful.
Once the nomadic Indians who were upgraded to become the Great Soviet Khanate completed the great integration, there would not be thirty-eight thousand households, but at least hundreds of thousands households!
By then, the Great Soviet Khanate may have the strength to break through the fortresses across Jinzhou...
Yamamoto also knew what Zhu Hekun was worried about, and sighed: "Your Majesty, if the Little Soviet Union really turns into the Great Soviet Khanate, we, New Rome, and the United Kingdom may be able to join forces... There are only three countries Only by joining forces can we contain this Great Soviet Khanate!"
Zhu Hekun was still silent, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words.
"In the final analysis, we have underestimated those Indians! They have learned to be nomadic, and can also use muskets and gunpowder. Now they have begun to organize khanates, but we still don't pay attention... Not only do Washington and Kinmen not Even New Rome and New London don’t pay attention to it...Do we really have to wait until these Indians are strong and difficult to treat before we join forces to contain them?"
Yamamoto Tojo smiled bitterly: "Although the Great Plains is vast, there is not much oil and water after all. New Spain, which is rich in gold and silver in the south, is the main target of the King of the United States and the government... and Carlos II is weak and sick. , has passed away not long ago! As soon as he dies, New Spain will be annexed to Rome! By then, the Great Soviet Khanate may be an ally of the United States!"
Zhu Hekun sighed deeply: "It turns out they are still thinking about gold and silver! I understand...I will arrange for you to meet Steel Khan!"
