In the history books of later generations, the incident of Iron Khan, the leader of the Great Plains Indians, founding the country and claiming the title of Khan, and moving north to the Great Lakes region was undoubtedly the biggest thing that happened in the Americas in the early 18th century, even surpassing the upcoming "New Year's Eve".

Spanish War"!

Because this means that the Indians, the real masters of the Americas, have found a development route that suits them, and took advantage of the confrontation between the two world empires, the Ming Dynasty and Rome, to find a large enough and very fertile land in the New World, and established the

Their own country - the Great Soviet Khanate!

In addition, if you look at the territory occupied by the Great Soviet Khanate, you will know how much impact this incident will have on the subsequent historical development.

The largest iron ore area in North America is within the territory of the Great Soviet Khanate...and the coal mining areas in the Appalachian Mountains are close to the United Kingdom of New England and will be annexed by the latter sooner or later.

In this way, the largest iron ore and the largest coal mine in North America are divided into the lands of two countries that are bound to be hostile to each other. These two countries do not even belong to the same civilization circle - the United Kingdom of New England is a typical example

A country in the European Christian civilization circle. The Great Soviet Khanate is a country that combines native America and Eastern nomadic civilization. It is a very special existence, and this country will regard itself as an aborigine of the American continent in later history.

Consider New England, New Rome, and the United States of New Zealand as foreign invaders...

In any case, the emergence of the Great Soviet Khanate, with the Great Lakes region as its core and occupying the northern part of the Great Plains, has forever changed the structure of the North American continent.

This huge change was ignored by most powerful figures from the end of 1699 to the beginning of 1700. Among them were the two giants of the Ming Empire in the New World, King Zhu Hehao and Qing Qing.

Wang Zhu Cihuan-Zhu Cixiang never told them the value of the Great Lakes area, there is no way to explain it! Zhu Cixiang is not a god, how can he know that there is iron ore buried underground somewhere tens of thousands of miles away?

Besides, even if you know, you can't develop it... The iron ore in the Great Lakes region and the coal mines in the Appalachian Mountains are connected by water transportation. Even if the railway is not repaired, it can be transported at low cost.

For the United States centered on the West Coast, it is impossible to transport iron ore from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of America. Even with the early railways, the transportation costs are unimaginable. As for seizing the Great Lakes region and Abala

The Appalachian Mountains... have exceeded the limit of the current military capabilities of the United States. In particular, the Appalachian Mountains already belong to the eastern part of North America, and are seven or eight thousand miles away from the Gulf of America!

The distance between the eastern part of the Great Lakes region and the west coast is also around four to five thousand miles, which is also within the effective combat radius of the United States Army.

Considering the population of the Great Soviet Khanate and the number of soldiers that can be mobilized, it is impossible for the United States Army to send troops for an expedition there...If we send too few troops, we will not be able to win, and if we send too many troops, we will not be able to provide the necessary logistics.

Moreover, there was nothing in the Great Lakes region that could attract the attention of local tycoons. There was no gold or silver there, only fertile land, and land was the last thing in the New World.

Although the population of the United States of New Zealand has reached more than 2 million, this population can honestly not even fill the Gulf of America on the west coast, the bottom of the Po River Valley and the Flood River Valley. Other basins and valleys in the Great River Basin and the Big Rock Mountains cannot be filled.

The exceptions are all sparsely populated.

And in the vast plains, it has reached the point where "the wilderness is so desolate and uninhabited for thousands of miles" that no one will take the land in the northern Great Lakes region seriously.

What really makes Zhu Hehao of the United States and Zhu Cihuan of Qing Dynasty covetous is the gold and silver of Mexico!

Gold and silver can not only bring real income to their country, but can also be used to attract immigrants from East Asia - according to the latest statistics, the population of the United States (East Asian race) has now reached more than 2.4 million!

The national population of Qingguo has reached more than 600,000, which is an amazing achievement!

The territory of the Qing Kingdom is not large, with only seven states including Qing, Suo, Xi, Na, Ha, Ke, and A. It is basically the western coast of Mexico and is very narrow. Among them, Qingzhou was captured after the Battle of the Flood Valley.

The five states of Sol, Si, Na, Ha, and Co were captured in the war of 1674. A state is the coastal area with Acapulco as the core, and was captured in the Silver War from 1679 to 1680.

. This war broke out because of the death of Don Juan Jose. The United States and the Qing Dynasty took advantage of New Spain's leaderlessness and jointly launched an attack on the silver mines in Zacatecas Province. Although this war did not win in the end.

silver mines, but forced New Spain to cede the territory of Alzhou and open up trade.

The port of Acapulco (Acapulco), which was originally depressed due to the conflict between New Spain, the Qing Kingdom, and the United States, was able to prosper again. And Zhu Cihong conveniently made a king, with ten thousand households (actually only a few thousand households).

) came from afar...

However, what really caused the rapid growth of Qingguo's national population was not the three "10,000-household immigration" promoted by Emperor Zhu, nor the prosperity of Azhou Port, but the discovery of gold mines in the mountainous areas of Suozhou, which attracted a large number of people.

Gold digger.

Because of the additional tax revenue brought by the gold mine, Qing Wang Zhu Cihuan was able to build his own royal capital, Qingdu City, on the shores of Lake Chapala near eastern Hazhou in Zacatecas Province.

After years of construction, this lakeside castle was finally completed in the 52nd year of Hongxing's reign.

In order to celebrate the completion of the castle and the official relocation of the Qing Dynasty court, the sixty-seven-year-old Zhu Cihuan held a grand celebration in Qingdu and invited several princes of the Ming Dynasty living on the west coast of the New World. Among them

There is Zhu Hehao, the king of Hezhong.

The King of the United States, who had been secretly competing with Zhu Cihuan for twenty or thirty years, did not refute his uncle's face. On the fifth day of February in the fifty-second year of Hongxing's reign, he arrived at the fortress Qingdu City on the shores of Lake Chapala.

Moreover, Zhu Hehao also brought exciting good news to Zhu Cihuan. The steel leader of the Little Soviet Union was ready to break away from the control of Rome and officially establish a country.

"Is he really going to sweat?" Zhu Cihuan, who is already old and has gray hair on his temples, but still looks energetic, asked, "Will he switch sides and come to our side?"

Zhu Hehao is also old now. He is over fifty and has become a somewhat wealthy uncle. Hearing his uncle's question, he smiled and said: "It's unmistakable. I have sent Yamamoto Chaochang to talk to Steel

The leader has met... He has agreed to leave Rome and form an alliance with us! Even if he will not fight alongside us, he will definitely remain neutral in the future!"

"This is great!" Zhu Cihuan clapped his hands, "So we can pretend to attack New Rome and contain the Roman American Legion, right?"

"Of course!" Zhu Hehao said with a smile, "The United States has a population of 400,000 on the Great Plains. It is not a problem to mobilize tens of thousands of troops!"

"That's good!" Zhu Cihuan laughed, "As long as the Roman American Legion cannot support New Spain, we will take over the silver mines in Zacatecas Province... 20 years ago, if it weren't for Rome

People sent troops to rescue, and we have succeeded."

"You will definitely succeed this time!" Zhu Hehao said with a smile, "Sixth Uncle, you can go one step further this time and take over Mojing!"

Mo Jing is Mexico City. Zhu Cihuan has been thinking about it all his life, but he just can't succeed.

"Haha," Zhu Cihuan said with a smile, "My dear nephew, if I go to Mojing, you can go straight to Nanxinzhou, right?"

Zhu Hehao did not deny it, and smiled and said: "Who allowed my nephew to have too many sons? If they are all left in the United States, it will cause more trouble for Yi Plutonium. It would be good to get some out."
