It was raining lightly in Mexico and the air was slightly cool. Chen Mu stood on the bell tower in the square in the city center overlooking the city he had created.

Looking into the distance, the town was shrouded in a vast rain and mist. You can see the city gate tower at the farthest long bridge ended due to rain. The city gatekeepers in the gate pavilion were registering the carriage numbers of those entering the city.

On rainy days, the carriage was covered with small velvet paper, which was made of Changsheng transplanted mulberry leather. The workmanship was the same as that of an oil umbrella. The Shangshifang Rain Gear Shop in Mocheng had from Changsheng to a small velvet paper and added oil bones to make more oil umbrellas, but it has been loaded on the car recently.

The roads are flowing continuously, and everything is in order because of the same track. It is difficult to see the chaotic street scenes of the past Western invasion era.

The "Era of Westward Invasion" was the name of Spain's 57 years of enslaved sergeant from the 16th neighbors in Mocheng set up a paper to learn and educate the people's textbooks from the 16th year of Zhengde to the sixth year of Wanli.

Fifty-seven years, the world has changed in a flash.

Time can change everything, just like two chariots stopped at the edge of the square not far from the clock tower.

The carriages are one in front and one behind, and the shapes are the same. The official carriage in front belongs to the Changsheng County Inspection Department, and the Minjia carriage in the rear belongs to the northern short-tailed leopard tribe. It is a tribe located in the northernmost part of Changsheng, bordering Jincheng.

The counties in Asia are each equivalent to those in the Ming Dynasty in terms of population, and are larger than those in the land. Although the land is wide and sparsely populated, several magistrates are increasingly unable to control them.

If communication in various places is not smooth, they can only rely on autonomy, and it is urgent to change counties and prefectures.

Chen Mu stood on the bell tower where work was stopped and looked down at the two carriages surrounding the central square for half a circle before finding the parking space. Then the carriage opened the door and two printed oil umbrellas were stretched out, with acquaintances in front and back.

Needless to say, the inspector Pei Xiao, wearing a black Jinghai suit, and two followers. Judging from the clothes, the two were the archers of the inspection department.

They were so easy to recognize. They were dressed in black and had only a black round helmet with eyebrows on their bodies. They were hung with official swords on their waists, and behind them were arrow sacs and bow sacs on their left and right.

Pei Xiao did a good job. Now, from Changsheng to Mocheng, he almost all the garrisons of thirty-two inspection departments under him maintain public order. Daily small training can also ensure that a reserve force of more than 5,000 people can be drawn if necessary.

Chen Mu knew what he was going to do, and the rainy season was coming soon, so he took the bow cabinet made by Changsheng to deliver it to Mocheng.

Most Ming bows are compound, and they are most afraid of being decomposed by moisture. They are difficult to break but easy to deal with. In order to deal with this disadvantage, there is a bow cabinet with charcoal placed on the upper bow.

In the past, not everyone had bow cabinets. Only soldiers and generals who had a decent family conditions could build a bow cabinet at home to hide bows. Those who had no conditions could only put the bow next to the stove when they were idle and take care of it. Once the heat was too long, it would be destroyed.

As for the conditions that don’t even have a stove, it’s even worse. When sleeping, you can only hold your bow in your arms and warm it up.

However, nowadays, it is much easier to save trouble. Most of the people in charge of the military office are patrol archers, each with patrol scope and outpost. Each inspection department has thirty or forty bows, as long as there is a large bow cabinet, it can solve the problem, and the cost is not too large.

The one who got off the back car was the former tribe leader, the short-tailed leopard. The brave and warlike short-tailed leopard always believed that Bai Tao told him that the Spanish retreat was a fool. It was not until he came to Changsheng with his own eyes that he finally believed in this fact.

But even though he believed it, he planned to fight with the Ming Dynasty until the last moment, but later he supplied him with muskets, and the Dutch who fought horses never came again.

If you really want to say that the short-tailed leopard has hostility towards the Ming Dynasty, it does not exist. He just doesn't agree with Bai Tao.

He was very happy that the Ming people would enter his tribe. Wang Hua from the five ranks taught the Chinese language and various techniques of his subordinates, but his attitude was not correct enough and he kept watching from afar and was not too interested in going deep into it.

Therefore, the tribe of the short-tailed leopard had almost no other changes until the previous year except for the increase in food farming and the tribe could afford to raise more children.

This situation continued until the previous year. The short-tailed leopard competed with Bai Tao's Bai Horse Division for a long time. Seeing that Bai Tao could be the leader of the three major alliances, he naturally did not want to let it go and took the opportunity of the tribes to challenge Bai Tao.

Bai Tao ignored him and was shocked by this. What era was it? In the ninth year of Wanli, why did anyone still believe in force?

Who cares about your short-tailed leopard's family having 27 horses and 1,22 infantry soldiers? Who cares that you have defeated the Spanish team?

Even if you can fight, can you beat the Eastern garrison?

In Asia these days, only Tongbao is the most important thing for the indigenous chiefs. Whoever can bring Tongbao to the tribe will support whoever is the leader.

The crushing defeat made the short-tailed leopard realize the importance of the Ming Tongbao, followed suit and followed the old path of doing business in white horses.

However, the short-tailed leopard was not so lucky to catch up with the depreciation of cocoa beans. He could only do production and cooperated with any suggestions from the five-level Wang Huajun in the tribe. He said he would dig coal when he said he wanted to dig a coal, and then he would mine gold when he wanted to dig a gold mine. Later, he even went to Mocheng to register a company.

Strictly speaking, the Short-tailed Leopard Company is a personal company.

Although the chiefs of other tribes do not support the short-tailed leopard as the leader of the alliance, many leaders still have to give him face, because he is indeed the powerful leader of many tribes. Not everyone can fight with him many times and make some achievements when the Spaniards rampant this land.

Bai Tao's nature is because of his nature to transform from a tribal leader into a businessman, but the short-tailed leopard is different. He just wants to compete with Bai Tao.

Without comparison, he felt uncomfortable all over.

The short-tailed leopard, which once wore a golden sword on his waist, is now hung with a mirror waist knife made by Professor Wang Huazeng of the Five Positions in the Tribe. He is wearing a brocade cloak and a layer of gauze coat. If it weren't for the stubborn feathers on the square scarf above his head, he would look the same as the old boy of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the education of the Five-League Wang Hua Envoy, his tribe was able to speak Chinese, and women could make cloth. He had a strong waist and a slight bow to help his house. He was rich and peaceful. This was actually Chen Mu's original intention of sending Five-League Wang Hua Envoy to various tribes.

But the short-tailed leopard is not satisfied with these things. This alone cannot make him beat Bai Tao in business.

What’s more important is that you can’t help other leaders, and you can’t help other leaders. Why should others support him as the leader of the White Horse Alliance?

So he started a labor company. On the one hand, he came into contact with immigrants from the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was hiring farmers, guards, stewards, letters, grooms, and porters, if he needed these strength to work, the short-tailed leopard could go deep into the tribes and find young people who were willing to find work.

Therefore, the short-tailed leopard is now well-known in Mocheng, Jincheng and Changsheng counties. He even found three Cheyenne hunters on the northern plains to go to Panama to serve as guards.
