The death of Portuguese king Sebastion coincides with the meeting of Armanza, the former governor of New Spain, stranded in Changsheng County.

Chen Mu sent the rider who went to Mexico City to find Duke Alva and the rider who sent Duke Alva to find Chen Mu met on the border.

One is in a hurry to send someone away, and the other is in a hurry to ask for someone, and they are considered a meeting.

However, after hearing what Chen Mu meant, Duke Alva felt less beautiful.

At the beginning, he had to find a way to get Almansa out of Changsheng County and let him continue to take charge of New Spain. After all, he has been in the Old World and has few players around him who know very well about the New World. Even if he wants to be a nepotist here, he will not have a chance.

What's more, he wouldn't dare even if he had the chance.

The Duke of Alva was indeed the most powerful person among the Spanish nobles, but not the only one. There was another minister named Roy Gomez de Sylva in the palace who had a comparable power. The difference between them was that Alva was outside and Roy was inside.

If it weren't for the brief military stalemate that Roy had seized the blame and persuaded King Philip to recall him from the Netherlands, the Netherlands should have been pacified now.

During his days in Mexico City, Alva knew very well that New Spain now needed not an enterprising military general. If a person sitting in the position of Governor of New Spain was a man who was eager to make achievements and regain lost land, he would only drag Spain into a whirlpool that was harder to climb out.

But the same meaning came out of Chen Mu's mouth, and Alva suddenly stopped thinking about it.

It doesn't matter whether this decision is correct or not.

Thirteen quick-thinking officers in Mexico City were summoned again. The old duke was walking through a black-clothed officer with a cane. He walked around the table. The sound of the cane pausing the ground was particularly loud, and even echoed in the wide room: "I want to know why Chen Mu thought Almansa was a good choice."

"Ming's jealousy and inflated ambition for the ugly New World disappeared with this treaty? They only want so much? I don't believe it."

"Armanza's administration in New Spain will make them lose the opportunity to provoke. This opportunity is not for nothing. The next governor needs to be as stupid as Bernard, and they will not know."

There is a devil's whisper in the New World. Anyone who walks here and sees it will involuntarily think: Why is this land not ours?

The old duke doesn't believe that anyone can block such temptation, especially Chen Mu.

"We should be the ones who are eager to get a truce, not him. Now he doesn't want a war. I need to know why he doesn't want to start a war again."

Alva did not think that such research could produce any precise results, just as the king he served raised hundreds of male and female dwarfs in the royal monastery of San Lorenzo in Escorial and failed to match them with super villains.

"Even if we don't get the answer, at least we can find out the ideas of Ming people from it - their ideas are different from ours."

It's really different.

In the government office of Changsheng County, Chen Mu was placing wine to Governor Almansa to see him off. When he heard that the Portuguese king drowned the Mahazan River in the war with the Moors, Chen Mu felt very evilly from the bottom of his heart.

The death of the Portuguese King is not about the Portuguese King or the Portuguese people. Chen Mu and they have no new grudges, but this is a good opportunity. He has taken advantage of it now and has been hoping that the Asian landscape will stabilize like this.

Now the Ming Dynasty needs soldiers and soldiers in Yazhou in the Ming Dynasty. All they lack is the time to gain a foothold in the five counties. How do you say that?

I was sleepy and thought of the pillow, but the pillow is here.

"Don't hide it from me. I've learned from monk Acosta that your king is also the heir to the Portuguese king."

While drinking, the boss Governor Almansa swept away the depressedness, and his eyes lit up after drinking. Chen Mu smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank a small sip, and asked, "In the next few years, your king's main attack direction should be to inherit the Portuguese king, right?"

Almansa also picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The old man was quite smart, and he kept glancing at Chen Mu's wine glass. Chen Mu took a sip, and he also took a sip. He never drank too much, and he drank a lot, until he ordered to prevent being drunk by Chen Mu.

But even so, the boss, who is used to drinking wine and rum, thinks that Chen Mu is so cruel to him. Such a spicy wine can still look ordinary and unusual.

At the beginning of the banquet, Chen Mu specifically introduced to him that the wine he drank today came from the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, called Shaojiu, which was a must-have product for the Ming fleet to keep warm when crossing the sea through the northern route.

It is true that the three sips of wine will sweat on my chest and back... But Almansa has been unable to understand. It would be fine if this banquet was in the north. In Mexico, the ghost weather is full of summer all year round, and there are only dry and wet seasons. Why should I drink it with the cold wine?

In fact, he was already on the verge of his head at this moment. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "It should be true. If a war breaks out, the time will be shorter, and without war, it will be longer. The best result is that other heirs give up the throne, which is good for everyone."

"No! There is an old saying in my hometown that those who have virtue in the world live in it. But those who dare to fight for the world have virtue. In the end, it depends on who is the strong reason."

Chen Mu drank as much wine as Armansa, but he was still normal because only one of the two people drank soju and he drank rice wine.

"There is another saying in our hometown. You should tell the king this sentence - to get along with each other from a distance, and let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed." Cheater Chen Mu smiled and talked to Almanza: "The situation in Spain, France, Ottoman, Portugal, England, these countries eat Spain tightly, and if they are not careful, they will be attacked from all sides."

"The environment of our country is similar to that of you. The surrounding countries are afraid of you when you are strong. When you become weak, they will rush forward. A big country can only lose all and win all."

Chen Muyue said that the old man's face became greener, and finally asked: "How to distinguish the beginning of weakness?"

"Of course, uh..."

When Chen Mu talked about the rise, he suddenly found himself digging a pit and jumping down, but he had already said that, and he had to say, "It's probably one or several big defeats."

The fundamental problem is that the invincible army is shattered. People no longer believe that your army can protect themselves, so they rise up and go up.

The old man's face turned greener. The Spaniards had not suffered a great defeat in decades. The only few times happened in recent years, and in recent years, they were all defeated by the Ming Dynasty.

You still have the face to say it!

But at this moment, Almansa selectively forgot these unpleasant things. He drank all the wine glass in one gulp, and when he raised his head, he seemed to have enough courage and said to Chen Mu: "General Chen, I want to go back and continue to be the governor, and I need your help."

Chen Mu put down his wine glass and sat upright, and said, "What kind of help?"

"After I cross the border, the West India Council may not let me take over as the governor. They will cause trouble for me. I need your soldiers to cross the border and cause some trouble, for example, looting several planting circles, but it is best not to die."

"The movement is not so big that war is going to start, nor so small that no one knows it. When they let me out, I will threaten you by starting war and blocking the border. Then Ming Dynasty bows its head slightly, so the West Indian Committee will have no way to deal with me."

OK, the script is written!

Before Chen Mu could speak, Almansa quickly added: "Your Excellency, you must promise me that I must not threaten you, you can start a war at will - a peaceful trade is good for everyone, the war you want cannot be exchanged for, peace can!"

Chen Mu smiled.
Chapter completed!
