Two hundred and fortieth chapters stroke the hair

The Governor General of New Spain issued a new decree in early March of the seventh year of Wanli, calling on the people to go to the Qilin Guard on the east coast to build a harbor and encourage free people to go to the Qilin Guard to work in the shipyard.

Although Yang Tingxiang has been serving as governor for a few months, Duke Alva is almost annoyed him.

The location of Mexico City is really good, making it convenient to dispatch warships to Portugal. Otherwise, the Duke of Alva would have to lead troops to Peru no matter what.

New Spain is no longer the Spanish New Spain.

Even though they stationed more than 30,000 troops here, the Duke still missed the unlimited glory of Spain before it was dragged down by the Netherlands.

The wealthy Netherlands and the real money and America were in hand, punching France and kicking Ottoman. At that time, Spain was Long Aotian from the European continent, and he was invincible.

In a few years, the Duke of Alva was watching Spain become worse.

At first, Fedland and Brabant revolt broke out. In the same year, the Netherlands and Zeland revolt at the same time. Louis of Prince Orange formed a Dutch army. The next year, Chen Mu snatched the St. Barbulo from the sea and captured Luzon Manila.

The Calvin sent guerrillas in France, and the sea beggars in the Netherlands, were regarded as thorns in the eyes by Philip II. Who would have thought that their biggest enemy was Chen Mu, who was 30,000 miles away.

In fact, the Duke of Alva's uprising was a joke. Even if the mob formed by ordinary people held guns and cannons, what would they do to fight against the kingdom's most elite Fedrans Legion?

The war in the Netherlands in 1568 was fought against the Dutch army in 15,000. The result of the battle was that the Dutch army was killed 7,000, while the Western army was killed 80 people and injured 220.

In the battle of 1574, the Western Army had 5,800 people against the Dutch Army. As a result, 3,000 people were killed in the Dutch Army. The chief general Louis and Henry of Nassau both died in battle, and 150 people were killed in the Western Army.

Those battles were entirely made by Spanish phalanx legions to fight the recruitment of the medieval nobles.

But the rebels still occupied a large area of ​​towns and coasts, why?

Because the guerrillas blocked the supply, the king had no financial resources to send military pay to his most elite legion.

Spain's original finances were very bad, and Chen Mu, the troublemaker behind his butt, made it even worse.

"I'm here to ask for military rations again? That's the food of my 30,000 troops. How could he rely on my military rations to support him? What does he want military rations?"

The boss Governor Almansa was also very annoyed. He had clearly agreed with Chen Mu to let him be the governor, but Changsheng turned to Changsheng and sent Yang Tingxiang, who was about the same age as Bernard, as the governor. He could only hold a deputy position... And the deputy position, does this deputy governor really exist?

Existence is existence, but does it make sense?

He bowed his head and said, "The Governor's decree has been responded to by more than 1,600 people. Those Indians who knew nothing were going to work as boatmen in the Qilin Guard. The Governor's Office needs to send them food rations on the road."

The Indians went to work as boatmen in the Qilin Guard?

The Duke of Alva found a map in his official residence outside the city, and easily found the Kirin Guards on the southwest coast of the Caribbean from above. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "They plan to build a ship, in Panama?"

This news is not good for the old duke. New Spain is already the country at the center of the country. To the west and north are the main force of the Ming army Chen Mu, and to the east, thousands of Ming troops are also wandering from Qilin Guards to the archipelago.

Strategically speaking, since Bernal's defeat in Alva to negotiate peace, Mexico City and even the Governor of New Spain have been abandoned.

Yang Tingxiang was able to quickly take over all the powers of New Spain, and Duke Alva's deliberate letting go would play a big role in avoiding intensifying the conflict.

Of course, compared with the new aristocratic planters in the local area who only know how to make money, Duke Alva's merits can only be ranked second.

The broken jar was thrown away.

It is of course best that Governor Yang from the Ming Dynasty can govern New Spain as well as the treaty. After all, the co-government region has taxes and the output is also paid by the second child; it doesn’t matter if the governance is not good. The bottom line of the old duke is the West Indies and the Governor General District of Peru.

As long as there are the output of archipelago plantations and the gold and silver of Peru, Spain can always turn the tables in the war against the Netherlands. The Netherlands war is not the battle, but the resilience of both sides.

It depends on whether the Dutch people who dared to be independent will die first, or whether the military expenses of the Spanish Kingdom will be used up first.

Duke Alva did not ask Chen Mu for the so-called "war aid, alliance support" in the treaty. There was a word in the Ming Dynasty called "Surprise with the tiger". Not only did the old duke know this, he also thought of another sentence - the empire's desire to destroy me will not die.

Any empire and hegemony are bound to be related to the undead heart of self-destruction. Unless Spain can bow to the Ming Dynasty, they can do whatever they want, but is this possible?

Not to mention that the Spanish Kingdom, which has lost its vast military expenditure, is about to collapse. Just say that in the past, it claimed to be the world's number one tiger step in Europe, but now it bows to the evil forces and ranks second in the world. Is this so low?

Of course, the so-called "death" is not destruction, nor is it annihilation, but to block your opportunity to develop upward. It has nothing to do with personal life and death. It is nothing more than the power of life and death when you are judges in Potosi now. If your country is "death", you can go back to Madrid to be a small judge and receive a few silver coins a month, and you can still survive.

Now Chen Mu is going to build a ship in the Qilin Guard, so that Duke Alva smells a dangerous breath, and his bottom line is touched: "If the Qilin Guard builds a ship, their army can be silently mobilized to the Caribbean Sea in just one and a half months, do you understand this?"

The West Indies are not protected!

"They built ships to trade in Spain. Governor Yang also sent an analysis report he made, which said that Spain sold wool to England every year was very wrong, and hoped that from next year the king would order a ban on selling wool to English merchants."

The Duke of Alva did not know much about trade, otherwise he would not have destroyed many commercial cities in the Netherlands. However, this was not the old duke's fault, and all Spaniards did this.

As we can see from the colonial method alone, the Spanish, regardless of whether they are in Asia or Luzon, had extremely single colonial methods, and they would have two tricks: fight and enslave the locals to mine if they win.

If it weren't for the small size, the Portuguese would have been the same as Spain, but their size would be difficult to enslave the locals to mine, so they could only set up commercial stations and be second-trafficking dealers.

"The wool is forbidden to be sold to the English? Does Chen Mu want to strangle us to death?"

Alva knew too well that after losing the income of the Netherlands, the main source of wealth in the barren Iberian Peninsula was the transportation of gold and silver and trade. Now Chen Mu planned to use his knife from the trade. To be honest, the old duke had only one sentence at this moment.

If it really doesn't work, stop talking nonsense and show off your weapons!

Almansa shook her head quickly, and whispered mysteriously, saying, "The Ming Dynasty planned to buy us all the wool with silk, porcelain and iron!"
