Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-One Founding Quota

On April 10, 1695, Ander Town, Qing, Mauro Gonzalez and a group of friends have just returned from training.

Originally known as San Juan, Ander Town is a Spanish colonial town with a history of more than a hundred years. It has a large population and outstanding location advantages. There are rushing rivers, mountains and water, and abundant sunshine, so agriculture is very developed. Even before the East Coast commodity influx and local handicraftsmen went bankrupt on a large scale, the traditional industrial economy here was quite considerable. It was a Spanish colonial town in La Plata, much better than Buenos Aires, the capital in the political sense.

After the East Coast people took over, they did not make drastic reforms to them because of insufficient funds, and the old production relations were greatly preserved. However, unlike Tongyuan and Datong in the south, the Spanish nobles and manor owners in Ander were more aware of each other. Many of them took the initiative to hand over a lot of land and allowed the East Coast government to take credit, and then took Xiaoruan and his family to go to the African continent to start a new life. Mauro Gonzalez was one of them.

Gonzalez just turned forty this year. His father was an Indian-born officer. Because he made contributions to the fight against the Tverches, he was appreciated by General Buenos Aires. After approval by the Governor of Lima and the West Indian Council, he was allowed to own a large area of ​​land in the west of San Juan. To be honest, Mauro did not like that land very much and did not like to run a farm, but his father was very happy. He forced him to be familiar with various farm affairs since he was a child, such as how to arrange planting, how to manage slaves, how to sell agricultural products, etc. He entrusted the East Coast people to develop in the Pampa Plain. The Gonzalez family's agricultural products were sold very smoothly and accumulated a large amount of funds.

However, after the East Coast people developed the Pampa Plain and successfully harvested a large amount of agricultural products, their business suddenly plummeted. During that difficult time, Mauro Gonzalez ran to Nancun Port several times, begging his former partners, saying that "the grain is unsalable, help us." But no one paid attention to him. It was a really difficult time.

Then, his father died of illness, and Mauro officially inherited the family business. He began to run around for his family's farm, encouraging him to maintain it, and was exhausted. This time, the East Coast people obtained the entire La Plata according to the treaty and tried to redeem the land according to the East Coast laws. Mauro did not even think about it and immediately gave the land to the East Coast government. Even if the Ande Town government had no money at that time, he only received a down payment of about 10,000 yuan. He had enough of this farm!

The East Coast government appreciates Mauro Gonzalez's awareness very much, and plans to make him a typical example and lead a team to South Africa, with a number of about three or four thousand people, which can be regarded as a very important consideration. Mauro Gonzalez is also very interested in becoming the leader of thousands of people. He feels that he has finally found the meaning of life, that is, to taste the pleasure of power!

Mauro had already had contact with these thousands of people and had a certain understanding of their composition. These people were basically from Ander Town and villages within dozens of kilometers nearby. About half of them were of Spanish descent, while the remaining half were pure Indians, Crandi, Quechua, Tverche and so on, which was very complicated. Mauro had a management team, mainly his former subordinates on the manor and some young friends. They accepted Mauro's invitation to manage this huge team, of course, with the assistance of agents from the General Administration of Intelligence of the East Coast.

The people of the State Administration of Intelligence also had in-depth contact with Mauro Gonzalez. Their evaluation of this person is: Kung-kill, cold storage, passion, and ambition, which is enough. What the people on the East Coast are afraid of is that you have no ambition, which means you are not a good manager and leader, and cannot lead these low-organized Mestiso people. The Indian mixed group creates a world in strange places, and ultimately, the East Coast people will need to help wipe their butts. Isn’t this an unreasonable increase in costs? And if you have ambition, then you will give full play to your subjective initiative, move around in a complex situation, protect yourself, and attack the enemy while constantly expanding your living space, and build a solid wall on the yellow-black dividing line. Well, the human border wall.

The State Administration of Intelligence has clearly told Mauro that after arriving at the Yellow-Black Dividing Line of South Africa, the East Coast government will provide various aids to each team, including food, medicine, and weapons, to help them gain a foothold there. Subsequently, they will also assess the situation of each team, including but not limited to military struggles, production construction, organizational improvement, etc. Those who rank high will give priority to the power of founding the country, and their leaders can serve as heads of state and receive a number of one-time cash and in-kind subsidies from the East Coast government. From now on, as long as the newly established countries follow the baton of the East Coast in domestic and foreign affairs, there will be basically no risk of regime subversion.

Mauro Gonzalez thought carefully and felt that instead of staying in La Plata and eventually being forced to move by the East Coast government, it would be better to go to the African continent to make a breakthrough. If you are lucky, you can still be a trendsetter of that era and taste the taste of becoming the leader of a country. In fact, he did not think that with the assistance provided by the East Coast people, they would not be able to beat the local black people. Their weakness was that they were small in number and were not adapted to the environment, but their advantage was that their weapons and concepts were advanced. If they really wanted to do it, they still had a great chance of winning.

Moreover, Mauro is not an idiot without culture. In fact, he has studied the local situation (the people from the East Coast have sent some simple information) and found that the land there is not infinite, and several teams have already passed there. If you cannot grab a piece of land as soon as possible, what should you do if the land is divided up in the future? I am afraid that it will be broken up and distributed to several countries that have established a regime and be honestly a people. This is the difference between coming first and then coming.

In fact, Mauro Gonzalez's idea is quite savvy. In fact, in the planning of the East Coast people, there will be only six or seven countries in the Yellow-Black Dividing Line of South Africa, of which two are occupied by Portuguese Angola and Portuguese Mozambique. The remaining countries will divide up large tracts of land from the inland Angola to Lake Malawi. The main ethnic groups of these countries will be composed of Malays (from New China Island), Mestiso, Indians and other non-black peoples that may be included in the future (such as Omanis, Bahrain, Indians, Brunei, etc.), originally the East Coast government planned to migrate some of the Black Eight Banners of South Africa in the past, but now hesitates, thinking that doing so has too many problems, in principle, a single ethnic group will build a country separately to improve their internal cohesion and form several cultures and ethnic groups with certain differences, so that the East Coast people can coordinate and divide and govern.

Basically, it can be said that the Malays will definitely establish a country, from one to two. The Mestiso people from the New World, Indians were classified as one ethnic group by the East Coast people, and the quota was about the same as the Malays, and there were 1-2. As for the remaining quotas for founding, they should be placed on other ethnic groups, such as Indians, Arabs, etc. Of course, the above are all current ideas, and changes will not be ruled out in the future. After all, no one can know what will happen decades or even hundreds of years later. God knows where the East Coast people have expanded and what they have done! Maybe, they may also migrate a large number of islanders in the South Pacific to settle down at the Yellow-and-Black Dividing Line. This is all possible.

In short, this kind of thing is a first come first served, and there is no fart on it. It is used as cannon fodder for people in vain. Now a considerable number of Mestiso and Indians have passed by, and are slowly moving towards the Yellow-and-Black Dividing Line. Mauro Gonzalez dare not bet that there will be no heroic figures among these people. What if there are so many strong people? They have united some of the people first, may have military achievements at hand, and have established good relations with the local East Coast government. It is hard to say what development will be in the future.

Du. Thinking of this, Mauro Gonzalez was even a little too late. He really despised those guys who could delay one day. Those people didn't want to leave La Plata at all, and even planned to resist violently for this. It was so stupid. They didn't need their pitiful heads to think about it. With their ridiculously weak weapons and equipment, how could they fight against the East Coast people? They might not have to dispatch the famous regular army, and just use some militias to defeat them.

Instead of doing this, it is better to keep your energy and seize the time to sell your property, raise funds, and make plans for the future. Do you really think that when you arrive in South Africa, the supplies of the East Coast people will be open to supply? Not to mention the difference between closeness and alienation, just say that there is no wealthy place at all, and all kinds of supplies will definitely be precious. No, when there is insufficient materials, you have to pay for them to purchase from the East Coast people. These people are really too ignorant. If you hadn't considered that you might have to rely on the power of these people in the future, Mauro Gonzalez would have angrily scolded them.
