What's the solution? ”

Chen Mu had never found that the Spaniards were so easy to talk to, everyone divided Asia like a row of fruits, and also came up with more than one plan for him to choose.

He must be very loved in the hearts of Westerners.

"We will draw a line to the north in the place marked by the boundary monument on the map, and the coast near the China Sea in the west belongs to the Ming Dynasty, except for the central part where Mexico is located, and South Asia is bounded by the Gulf of Machala, in this place."

"The Ming and the West share the bay, the north belongs to New Spain, and the land about three or four hundred miles from the southern coast to the eastern mountain range belongs to the Ming Dynasty, which is used to facilitate the Ming army to fish, set up trading stations, transport silver ore from the Potosi silver mine, and transport silver coins to Mexico."

"But all the mines found in the whole of Asia, which are now discovered, belong to New Spain, and their people are to be granted the right to enter the coast under the jurisdiction of the Oriental military government to trade, to live, to marry, and to preach, and all the mines to be explored in the future will be entrusted to the joint operation of the two countries."

"In the same way, the Ming people also had the right to enter the territory of New Spain to do business and reside."

Zhao Shizhen said and opened his palm to Chen Mu and explained: "Acosta said that this plan of New Spain poses a serious risk, which may cause a rebellion of the new nobles who have power along the coast, and the Ming army should try to ensure the safety of the lives of the new nobles, and hand over their property to the Viceroyalty of New Spain after receiving the land. ”

It's too explicit.

Chen Mu frowned slightly when he heard Zhao Shizhen say this, and only after he finished speaking, did he ask, "Which of the two do you think is better?" ”

Zhao Shizhen said without thinking about it: "I think the first number, the Ming Dynasty occupies the north of Asia, in fact, even if the east does not negotiate with the Westerners, the Ming army will be our land wherever it goes, but there are fewer incidents than the second one." ”

"They wanted minerals, they wanted to do business in their territories, they wanted to marry and preach, and then it was not good to have a miasma, and the students always felt that they were trying to solve their unspeakable problems by our hands, to save the lives of the new nobles, and to give their property to the Viceroyalty of New Spain."

Zhao Shizhen didn't know what words to use to describe the strange thoughts of the Spaniards, so he had to use his expression to let Chen Mu know what he was thinking, and pouted to skip the topic.

"However, the problem with the first plan is to go to the east to fight France, the Ming Dynasty has no vendetta with this country, and the Oriental military government has just arrived, and the students think that they don't need to make enemies for the west in many ways."

Chen Mu didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time with his brows furrowed, he slowly stood up and paced in the room, sighing: "This Acosta, he is very smart, he knows that I am greedy, it is impossible for me to accept the first proposal, let alone the second plan." ”

Zhao Shizhen persuaded him: "Dashuai, the students think that these two plans are good at the moment, there is no need to go to war, to obtain vast land, inexhaustible forests, inexhaustible fishing salt, and oil wells and minerals to be explored in the future, this is not something that the Oriental Military Government can eat thoroughly within three or five years, so why bother to be ambitious...... Please forgive the students for being disrespectful. ”

Zhao Shizhen wanted to say that he was ambitious, and he also wanted to say why he had to use some land that could not be used for ten years or even decades to touch places that were unacceptable to the Spaniards, and in the end it would lead to a big war, but the result was actually nothing more than that.

What difference can it make? The Spaniards did not get out of the North Asian desert for forty years, and the southern demarcated area and then the east were the Potosi silver mines, unless there was a war to grab the Potosi silver mines...... But Zhao Shizhen, who had been following Chen Mu for a long time, knew very well that the uncontrolled flow of huge amounts of silver into China was not a good thing.

The two plans may not be the best results, but they are also very suitable, especially the first one, they don't need to pay any price, and they get thousands of miles for Daming.

With this calculation of the spirit of the Spaniards, in Zhao Shizhen's view, it is better to think carefully about how to educate the tens of millions of aborigines in this land well, and make the best use of their talents.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Muhun waved his hand absently, pulled down the simple and scribbled map of Asia, looked at it again and again, and said: "I don't know that the two conditions are very good, the Spaniards have made great concessions, but this is mutual, they have a request for me, and I have a request for land." ”

"We have three places that we have to fight for, and we can do without other lands, of course, the more we can want, the better, maybe it doesn't make sense now, but in decades, or even hundreds of years, it will become meaningful in the future."

"In the future, the ships will be faster and faster, and there will be more and more prospecting methods...... But you're right, it's only been a few years since Nanjing signed the first Mingxi Treaty, and we can sign one more with them, and more things can be left for later, but these three places should not be missed. ”

Chen Mu said and turned around and raised his hand to the map on the table, and said: "North, north of the boundary monument, this is the land that Ma Shuai probed with the flesh and blood of his subordinates, no one wants to take it, the boundary monument is there, we are talking about the south of the boundary monument, don't you mention the matter in the north?" ”

"The Spaniards can't take care of it, if they want to take care of it, let them push in the infantry corps and see who kills the deer, and then it's time to talk about Mexico."

"The second is Panama, which spans thousands of miles, I want to build a ship port and shipyard on both sides of the strait, build salt wells, dig mines and grow corn, then everything will be the Oriental military government of the Ming Empire, but as long as the Spaniards dock to pay taxes, they are allowed to buy and sell in the port, live temporarily, and learn Chinese, as long as the warships pay money, they can also dock and repair in the port."

"If agreed, in two years, the Ming army will place a fleet on the east coast to assist the western army in fighting French and English pirates."

"As for the third one, I am from the south, I have never seen the desert since I was a child, and I am very happy to see the desert in the north, so I want this desert on the west coast of South Asia, and I will build a big house, raise horses, and have babies there in the future, so I want this desert, and I will be a meeting gift from the Spanish governor to Chen - you should really listen."

"These three places are ours, what do the rest of the Spaniards like, if they need our help to fight the new nobles, more land Chen will reluctantly want, just as the reward for being a wicked person, if not, we don't need it anywhere else, all trade is as usual."

"After the seaport of Panama is repaired, only trade with the Spaniards in that port, so that they have nothing to do and put warships on the west coast, and at most only armed merchant ships will be allowed to come in the future."

"Also, the minerals they have discovered now, as long as they are not in the above three lands, still belong to them, but the Ming merchants retain the right to buy shares, and if the land is under the jurisdiction of the Ming army, they must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"There will be schools to teach people Chinese, for a fee, in addition to marriages, missionaries, even if they are married, my port is all soldiers, married with the Ming army, preached to the Ming army, and was directly killed for espionage, and Chen will also ask Li Dan to go to Seville next year to tell them the story of the dragon and tiger Taojun."
