Take the Empire To the Other World
Chapter 133 Tomato Town
The ancestors of the Zilong Federation were not a single nation, but various human nations from the legendary silent Asian continent. Because of their escape, they traveled across the ocean to the backward New World, and gradually wiped out the few aborigines in the New World to become the rulers here. By.
Because the ethnic composition is very mixed, the customs of various ethnic groups are very different, and there is a phenomenon of contention among a hundred schools of thought. Although the strongest East Asian civilization in the Asian continent is the main one, other messy ideas are also mixed in.
This makes many place names in the Zilong Federation full of 'ethnic characteristics'.
The name Tomato Town is a product of this national characteristic.
Most of the descendants of the main civilization of the Zilong Federation, that is, the Han family civilization, are in high positions. Even the common people of the Han family mostly live in wealthy areas, so they have little interest in colonizing overseas.
Except for the nobles, government officials, and military members of the Zilong Federation, the people who came to the colony to make a fortune were all the "marginal peoples" who migrated to the New World.
This is not to say that these marginalized ethnic groups are discriminated against in the Zilong Federation. Perhaps there was serious ethnic discrimination when the Zilong Federation was first established, but after nearly two thousand years of integration, this discrimination has long since disappeared...
However, whether the ancestors are strong or not still has an impact, because when the Zilong Federation was first established, the areas with wealth and mild climate conditions were all occupied by the Han civilization, and other ethnic groups could only retreat to the next best. Naturally it is different.
The gap between rich and poor is also growing.
The Zilong Federation is a rigid giant that emphasizes tradition. Although ethnic discrimination is gone, the land allocated by the ancestors cannot be changed. Therefore, the ancestors of those who came to the colony to fight were all the "marginal peoples" of the Asian continent.
This is also the reason why the name of the colony of Obaro mainland does not conform to the Han culture.
Rees City, Porto City, Tomato Town, etc., are all named after the explorers who first set foot on Obaro Continent, also known as the cannon fodder of the colonial pioneers. Meaningful naming rights.
This is why there is a huge gap between the names of the native cities of the Zilong Federation and the colonial cities.
Tomato Town was originally a stronghold established by an expedition team led by a bankrupt businessman who sold tomatoes. The bankrupt businessman was considered the lucky one among the cannon fodder of the colonial pioneers. He not only made a fortune but also had his own team. The stronghold he established was named Tomato, and it gradually developed into Tomato Town...
The ancestors of the merchants who established the tomato base were naturally not the Han nationality, but a branch of the many ethnic groups in the Western Regions. Of course, more than a thousand years have passed, and the specific branch has long been blurred. At most, they know that their ancestors came from the Western Regions of the Asian continent. .
Moreover, through more than a thousand years of intermarriage and mixed blood, the appearance has long been assimilated by the East Asian race that occupies the superior number, and there is no longer the colored pupils of the ancestors...
However, because these marginal ethnic groups live in different areas from the Han ethnic group, some of the national culture of these marginal ethnic groups has been preserved, such as the habit of naming...
Today's Tomato Town is the descendant of that merchant. In the era when the Obaro colony was just opened, although the pioneer cannon fodder had a high casualty rate, once it succeeded, it could turn itself into a master.
In order to encourage a large number of marginalized peoples to use their lives to develop colonies, the federal government provides generous rewards. Almost as long as you have the ability to establish a village and town stronghold and hold it for a period of time, you can become the chief executive of this village and town!
In fact, in the Obaro colony, only the two capital cities of Reese and Porto were really under the direct control of the federal government thousands of miles away. Other villages and towns were indirectly controlled through these two colonial capital cities.
For example, in Tomato Town, the town guard team was recruited by the mayor himself with the town's tax revenue. Apart from paying a certain percentage of tax to Reese City on a regular basis, it is basically an autonomous town.
This kind of town is everywhere in Obaro Continental Colonial Area, provided you have the ability to defend it!
After all, in addition to various demonized creatures, there are also a large number of human predators waiting for the opportunity in the colony, and even many notorious mercenary teams are half-soldiers and half-bandits!
Without a certain strength, you can't hold it at all!
In addition, we need to establish a relationship with the bureaucracy of the capital city. Don't look at Tomato Town's great autonomy. Tomato Town ransacked again!
Don't overestimate how high the moral integrity of these aristocrats who are as high as the sky and the emperor is far away!
Of course, if the mayor himself is a hereditary nobleman, those dignitaries in Rees City will take some face into account.
It's a pity that Zilong Federation distributes lifelong nobles very happily, but it is very harsh on hereditary nobles. Many small forces in colonial areas have soldiers, land and population, but they can still only be ordinary lords, but they can't be broken. The hereditary baronial ceiling above her head!
Moreover, in the eyes of the orthodox nobles, this group of lords will be called nouveau riche, at the bottom of the chain of contempt of the nobles, even inferior to those lifelong titles of the court without fiefdoms!
However, in the colony, the status of a lord who was born by relying on his own hard work, and his education level is not high, is indeed not much different from the nouveau riche...
It takes time to accumulate knowledge to catch up.
It has only been a few decades since the Zilong Federation has established a firm foothold in the colonial area of Obaro mainland, so naturally it is impossible to produce a real lord.
The current mayor of Tomato Town, Zhaowu Sha, a direct descendant of the businessman who opened up this stronghold, is a lord, the kind who holds real power, and is worthy of the name in Tomato Town.
As long as it is not the arrival of a real nobleman, the status of Zhao Wusha will not be shaken!
The guard team of five or six hundred people in his hand is full of confidence!
Not to mention that the entire bureaucracy in Tomato Town was killed by Zhaowu.
Relying on the trade and sale of stolen goods by the expedition team in the Devil's Mountains, it is true that the Zhaowu family in Tomato Town has made a lot of money. Shooting guns can become mainstream weapons!
The most important thing is that Zhao Wusha's town guards still have several tiger squatting guns (a small mortar that can fire solid bullets and shotguns), which are placed on the four turrets of the town wall to look down at the foreign enemies.
Tomato Town is close to Devil Mountain, so it spent a lot of money to build a fortress-like real wall.
