The news of the defeat shocked the Spanish colonial authorities.

In order to deal with the Chinese, the Governor of New Spain, Charles, used his influence in the Americas to demand several indigenous tribes to assemble 50,000 soldiers and invite colonists from Britain, the Netherlands, France and Denmark to form a coalition force.

The officials of the Governor's Office were more worried about this: "Your Excellency, if this is the case, the war will expand. You should know that war is not an easy thing. Britain, France, the Netherlands, and even the imperial emperors may not support your war."

"No, no one understands war better than me!" Charles insisted that he must find his face.

The Governor had an order, and the Governor General of New Spain had to mobilize and prepare to launch a larger attack.

At this time, after attacking the Xiaoxiaoni tribe, the construction of Penglai Kingdom gradually gained enough manpower.

Li Chengdong, Zhang Yida and others walked in the newly built Penglai City.

Dongzhou has abundant resources, towering trees are everywhere. Under the command of craftsmen, the people and prisoners cut off the uncles one by one, processed and transported them to the construction site.

"This kind of giant tree is only available in the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan and Guizhou. Every one transported to Beijing would cost more than 100,000 taels. But it is everywhere!" Li Chengdong looked at the fallen giant tree and sighed in his heart that he already liked this place a little.

Zhang Yida said: "Your Highness, Xinchengfan helps Penglai City to build the city. Your Highness cannot forget his promise!"

Li Chengdong laughed and said, "Don't worry, I promise to help you take back Jinshan City."

Zhang Yida added: "There is still a population."

Li Chengdong naturally agreed, "Thirty percent of the captives belong to you."

Everyone was walking by the Penglai River. The fortress in the distance had already been outlined. The wooden houses were arranged neatly below the fortress, and officials were allocating houses to their relatives.

When the family saw Li Chengdong and others, they saluted one after another. Li Chengdong asked, "There are no complaints!"

Zhang Huangyan said: "The women's family have some, mainly because they lack furniture and some essential products, and the soldiers are more satisfied!"

Zhang Yida said: "This is simple. When the house is completed and the fortress is built, people will pull it out, so the carpenters will make some furniture. Anyway, there are wood around them. I need a bed to make a bed for them, a cabinet is made, and a cabinet is made, and more of all kinds of things can be used."

Li Chengdong basically doesn't care about the opinions of the women, because he has offended the women.

Over the years, in most cases, the population structure of China has been unbalanced by more men and fewer women.

Under such circumstances, in addition to marrying wives, the princes, nobles, gentry and wealthy families in China often take concubines and keep a large number of maids in captivity, which makes the already unbalanced population structure even more unbalanced.

In this case, many adult men will inevitably be unable to get married.

This has been a problem for generations. These men have poor families and their brothers take one of them, so they have no money to marry them.

Many younger brothers, when they become adults, either go out to be apprentices, never come back, or go to the army.

Officials from all generations also knew that these people were not very stable, so they were summoned to the army in large quantities.

Joining the army is a high-risk job, and you often can't come back after going. In addition, some dynasties have been in the army for a lifetime, and often young people leave home and return white hair, and many people never marry for life.

Most of the soldiers who followed Li Chengdong to Dongzhou this time were old bachelors. They had been a soldier for several years or even ten years. The family's property was inherited by elder brothers or other brothers, or they simply had no family members.

They were free from worries, so they were willing to follow Li Chengdong and come to Dongzhou to have a try.

After arriving in Dongzhou, they were very disappointed at first. The entire country was deserted, not to mention brothels, even people could not see it.

This hit the morale of the soldiers very much, but Li Chengdong understood the soldiers' thoughts very well. After capturing the local people, he immediately selected young women from them and distributed them to his subordinates.

Those who have wives will be regarded as concubines, and those who don’t have wives will be regarded as wife. They will also allocate built houses and reclaimed land. In short, let the soldiers have a home and settle their minds first.

Such an arrangement naturally aroused the cheers of the soldiers, but the women's faces turned ugly.

Li Chengdong and others walked to a camp where young native women were found.

Zhang Yida smiled and said, "Do you want to choose a few women as maids?"

Li Chengdong smiled slightly, "Let me give it to the soldiers!"

Do you still need to remind others of this kind of thing? Li Chengdong had already chosen more than a dozen of these women before they were sent to the camp.

At this time, a small officer under Li Chengdong came out of the camp and led a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old to a small hut.

The officer's name is Zeng Dalong. He has been in the army for many years and doesn't know how to communicate with the girl. As soon as he was about to step forward, the girl hid in horror, with a fierce look on her face, like a kitten who was frightened and kept getting angry.

Seeing this, Zeng Dalong quickly waved his hand and said that he would not get close. Then he stood in the house for a while, but finally didn't know what to say. He pointed to the house and said that the girl would stay in the house and went out by himself.

During dinner, Zeng Dalong brought a bowl of rice and a bowl of fried meat and handed it to the girl, but the girl was so shocked that she hid in the corner, still looking fierce.

Seeing this, Zeng Dalong put the food on the table and then left the room. The girl curled up in the corner for a long time and finally calmed down. Then she smelled the fragrance of rice and meat.

She looked at the table for a while, her stomach snorted a few times, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and crawled towards the table.

Looking at the rice and fried meat, the girl did not go to get the chopsticks, but grabbed a piece of meat with her hands and put it into her mouth. She was slightly stunned, her eyes lit up, and she started eating quickly.

Outside the window, Zeng Dalong smiled slightly and went to the whistle.

As time passed, Li Chengdong had moved into the castle, and the soldiers all divided the wooden houses. The land beside the Penglai River was also reclaimed, and potatoes, corn, vassals, and rice from Dongzhou were planted.

Everything in Penglai Country was finally getting on track, and the only shortcoming was that there was an extremely scarce living supplies.

However, as the second fleet from the Ming Dynasty was loaded with cloth, porcelain, tea, iron and other supplies, and many exiled prisoners came, the survival of everyone was immediately changed.

This not only changed the living conditions of the Penglai people, but even the captured natives gradually got used to living in Penglai.

The Penglai Kingdom did not cruelly exploit the indigenous people like the Spanish and regarded them as slaves, but regarded themselves as educators to teach the natives to plant, build houses and get rid of barbarism.

At this time, in front of the wooden house, a girl from Yin was cleaning clothes, and Zeng Dalong came back with a large bag of small bags.

He handed a top cotton cloth to the girl, and then placed an iron pot, porcelain, tea, bronze mirror, quilt, and even a box of rouge on the table.

The girl unfolded the cotton cloth and saw the beautiful patterns and comfortable feel, and was very happy.

The laughter of a woman who was also married to a Penglai soldier came from the neighbor's house. After a moment, another indescribable movement came.

That night, Zeng Dalong, who had been single for 30 years, did not sleep all night.

Zeng Dalong was lying on the boat in the morning and couldn't help but sigh that the good days were about to begin.

Penglai is gradually getting on the right track, while the New Spanish authorities have used their influence in the Americas to assemble 50,000 indigenous soldiers and asked colonists from Britain, the Netherlands, France and Denmark to form a coalition force, with a total of 60,000 troops, divided into three groups, advancing towards Vancouver in a mighty manner.
