Chen Mu browsed the official documents, and had to admit that Fei Laoer's Spanish feudal aristocracy and upper-level court bureaucrats were attentive to 'their new world', at least very attentive in terms of policy constraints, even better than the Oriental military government armed with half-hung traditional officials.

It's just that under the cover of absolute military and economic superiority, this political intention is not worth mentioning.

Yang Tingxiang's report indicates that the sixteen high-ranking officials of the Council of Indian Affairs were all prominent Spanish nobles, and that they were personally appointed by King Philip to take over all the power in the New World in place of the king.

recommending to the country candidates suitable for high-ranking officials in the New World; drafted the policy edicts of the New World on behalf of the king, promulgated the laws of the New World, and reviewed the rules and regulations drawn up by the governors; dispatch of inspectors to the governor's districts to inspect the work of the governor and officials at all levels; Conduct reviews of the departing Governor and other senior management, initiate deliberations and trials of civil and criminal cases in the New World; Everyone who enters the New World from the Old World must obtain a New World Exploration Permit issued by them, be responsible for the defense of the New World, maintain the smooth flow of trade, check the accounts of the cities, and supervise the trade of the various places.

"The functions and powers of the Western Affairs Committee are interlocking, but there is only one loophole." Yang Tingxiang patiently waited for Chen Mu to read all the official documents before he introduced: "They are not strong enough, Spain never thought that the enemy would appear from the west, so when dealing with our war, officials at all levels are tied, and the governor of New Spain needs to report any affairs to the committee, so as to delay the fighters." ”

"After the end of the war, there was no precedent for the Council to enforce decrees on the borders of the two sides or even on the condominiums, there was no communication between the upper and lower levels, there was neither the consciousness nor the power to seize power, and now the power of New Spain has been almost completely abandoned, and at the same time it is also unpopular."

As if telling a very interesting story, Yang Tingxiang gestured with his hand and moved aside the neatly arranged ornaments on the table one by one, and said: "The nobles and merchants who owned plantations in New Spain left New Spain in large numbers twice in two years after the defeat of the war and the withdrawal of Alva's troops, and then continued to leave or enter Mexico City on a small scale to open shops. ”

"In the beginning, they would put the estates and plantations at a price and put them on the Indian Affairs Committee for people to buy, but no one could buy them."

When it came to 'no one can buy it', Yang Tingxiang said with great confidence on his face, and said with his hands slightly open: "General Lin's soldiers have been around New Spain, and the old guerrilla army that has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round will have holidays to go to Guatemala or Colombia in the south to teach Lautaro's rebel army, but at the same time he also recruits some guerrillas from the aborigines, liberates some slaves today, leads two horses tomorrow, and burns a piece of land the day after tomorrow." ”

"Until the nobles and merchants found that it was better to hang their estates in the Mexican yamen, and of course, the price was lower."

"These lands would be bought in a lawful way by the victorious immigrants, who had made a lot of money from the west, and hired the natives to repair the plantations, produce them, and build the walls."

Yang Ting compared four fingers and said: "From the border fort built by Alva to Daxigang, there are now more than 40 enclosure towers being built, and one enclosure is a village community, dominating a radius of ten miles, and there are more than 600 registered nobles and merchants who still remain in New Spain, but their manors and plantations are only 166. ”

Chen Mu frowned: "What about one hundred and sixty-six?" ”

Chen Mu wished that the entire New World belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and he was not happy with one Spaniard, let alone more than a hundred Spanish plantations, which meant that there were still 1 to 40,000 people in the Viceroyalty of New Spain under the hands of two or three hundred Spaniards.

The Oriental Military Government wanted to eliminate the influence of the Spaniards in the New World as soon as possible, and only the merchants who gave silver to the Ming merchants in the city were left, just like the Spaniards who only left Peru to dig silver for the Ming Dynasty, and this was enough.

But he didn't expect that what Yang Tingxiang was going to say next was probably the darkest fact after the arrival of the Ming Oriental Military Government in the New World, which was darker than Chen Mu keeping the Spaniards to enslave the aborigines in the Peruvian Viceroyalty to mine silver mines.

Yang Tingxiang, the governor of New Spain, shook his head and arched his hand: "Marshal, in the end, the Viceroyalty of New Spain will leave a hundred plantations under the control of the Spanish plantation owners, and gradually move them and the nearly 20,000 slaves they own to a valley in the north of Mexico City called Tehuacanquecatlán by the indigenous people. ”

Yang Tingxiang was expressionless and his tone was calm: "Whether he is a native immigrant, a flag army, a Korean, a Japanese, a Spaniard or an aborigine, Daming does not accept people with Spanish diseases. ”

"The environment of that valley is good, I have seen it in a humble position, green mountains and green waters, there are forests and fields that should be, and it is a good isolation place."

Chen Mu knew that Yang Tingxiang was talking about syphilis, a virus that spread wildly in the land where Europeans had stayed, and tuberculosis, a terminal disease of this era.

He inadvertently ignored the impact of this infectious disease, and now that he thinks about it, the culprit that formed the last hundred Spanish plantations in Yang Tingxiang's plan should be the order he gave to Fu Yuan, the chief military officer of the border during the confrontation between Mingxi and Mingxi: take away what should be taken away, and leave what should be left.

At that time, he did not expect that the order he gave casually would be carried out very thoroughly in this land, it seems that they have always adhered to this order, and on every inch of the map, the Toyo military government does not accept sick people.

So where can those who are sick go? They had to go to the Spaniards who did not have this kind of restraint, and in the end, the healthy aborigines went to the Ming Dynasty, and the sick aborigines went to the Spaniards.

Seeing that Chen Mu did not have a clear objection, Yang Tingxiang continued: "Then block the valley, select officials to manage it from the valley, prohibit reproduction and stop entering and exiting, and set up hundreds of households at each exit. ”

"They have to be closely guarded, and the doctors will be able to treat them more easily and prevent the disease from spreading among the banner army."

Yang Tingxiang paused a little when he said this, speaking of which, the biggest contributor to the vast majority of flag soldiers being able to strictly restrain themselves was still Zhao Shizhen, thanks to him writing the "Guide to Preventing Gun Killing", so that every flag army knew what they could and couldn't do here.

It is inevitable to expect the commander to restrain him, but more importantly, the flag army knows that he restrains himself, which is better than anyone to supervise.

"The iniquity of the Spaniards."

Chen Mu said a sentence without beginning or end, got up and walked around the square table and patted Yang Tingxiang, who was pretending to be calm: "We will eradicate smallpox, and we can also eradicate the Spanish disease." ”

In his memory, China did eradicate the epidemic.

"It seems that in this return to Changsheng, I will not only go to see the prince of Zheng Fan, but also meet Doctor Chen."
