Alva led his army to the New World last year, which was a shot in the arm for New Spain's precarious rule, and his return with his fleet had no small impact on New Spain.

If anyone can stand in the future and see the present, this reinforcement from Spain mainland has rewritten the history of the New World.

There is no need to even stand in the future, Chen Mu, who is standing in the Oriental Military Mansion, has three official documents in his hand to explain everything.

A report on the public sentiment of the Condominal of New Spain sent by Yang Tingxiang from Mexico City four days after Alva's departure.

The main thrust of the report is that Alva's departure triggered a wave of return to New Spain's nobility, not that they gave up their privileges, but that they still held plantations, land, and more than ninety percent of New Spain's wealth.

This trend began last year when Yang Tingxiang became governor of New Spain, and reached its peak on the eve of Alva's departure, with more than sixty percent of the nobles choosing to leave the plantations and leave them in the care of relatives, stewards, cronies, and servants, some of whom left New Spain one after another to return to the Old Continent by boat.

The other part, which is very small, lived in Mexico City and courted Yang Tingxiang.

The second official document is a letter sent by Chen Ju from Turtle Island last month, which contains a detailed record of the information that Turtle Island has obtained from setting up a trading post in Lima City, Peru.

The same happened in Mexico City, where there were not many Spaniards in Peru, and the vast majority of them were mixed-race second- or third-generation Spaniards.

The third is that Shao Tingda sent someone from Chile a month and a half ago, and he got along well with the natives of southern Chile who did not submit to the Spaniards and fought bravely.

For Chen Mu, it is more interesting to read these two letters together.

The reason Shao Tingda needed manpower in Chile was to dig saltpeter in the desert and guano along the coast, both of which required a large number of people, and although the Chilean population under the control of the Ming Dynasty was not small, it was difficult to find people willing to do such hard work.

The seabird droppings that have accumulated on the cliff walls of the Chilean coastal reef for thousands of years are the most important specialty of the land that Shao Tingda discovered besides saltpeter, which is fertilizer.

Agricultural technology in the Ming Dynasty went further than in ancient times, and large landowners in Jiangnan even used compound fertilizers made from a mixture of minerals, grains, plants, liquids and animal fertilizers to increase the yield of their fields.

Guano is also fertilizer, but it is difficult to collect it in normal times, but this is not the case on the coast of Chile, where seabirds have settled for thousands of years, leaving the coastal rocks with a thick layer of white; There are also those dazzling saltpeter colors in the saltpeter mines, which makes Shao Tingda feel that Chile is the heaven-sent land of the Ming Dynasty.

Much more useful than gold and silver, provided that they were not short of gold and silver.

Chilean saltpeter is similar to domestic nitrate, in addition to saltpeter, there are also miscanthus salt, which can be cooked with millet to cook fur or directly used in medicine, stone salt called "bright salt" and "yuhua salt", and gypsum used in medicine.

Similar to the saltpeter produced in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, Shao Tingda's letter back was quite disappointing, the saltpeter here can be processed and directly made into gunpowder, without spending Chen Mu in the early years in the nitrate cave with the plant ash produced in the ancient Chinese chemistry to make potassium nitrate, so that he has a sense of nowhere to carry forward his ability.

Shao Tingda's letter will make Chen Mu happy; With a single letter from Chen Ju, Chen Mu will feel a little regretful in his heart.

Morally, he should intervene in Peru's affairs and help the weak to avoid the killing of the natives, but from the reality of the situation, this fleeting idea is difficult to implement.

But when Chen Ju read Shao Tingda's letters side by side, he found a solution to the problem, and he had to express his concern to the governor of Peru and say that Chile could accept the indigenous people in moderation.

As for the first letter from Yang Tingxiang, in Chen Mu's eyes, it only meant one thing: Alva's departure led to a sense of risk aversion in the hearts of the Western nobles, which marked the abandonment of all hegemony in the New World by Spain.

"Everyone else has given up, what are we waiting for?"

Within two days, the military staff compiled the situation in New Spain and Peru, transmitted Fu Yuan on the border line, and ordered him to reorganize his subordinates, select elite officers and soldiers, and prepare to march into Mexico City.

At the same time, he sent a message to Yang Tingxiang and asked him to find a way...... Chen Mu is still preparing here, and another letter from Yang Tingxiang has already arrived.

Blessed to the soul.

Yang Tingxiang's second letter is a bit false, saying that Alva led the army to leave Mexico City and caused the hearts of New Spain to fluctuate, and the people were worried about the landing of the sea pirates on the east coast, and New Spain only had two legions that Alva had reorganized when he was stationed in the army, and the strength of the defenders was insufficient, and the West India Committee hoped to ask the Ming army to send troops to assist in the defense.

It's too fake.

Chen Mu felt that if he wanted the monks of the West India Council to say this, Yang Tingxiang would have to fight, no, Yang Tingxiang would have to convince them for a long time.

Chen Mu replied: No, no, no, this is not good, Alva has just left, I promised someone, let's do it...... You say that the West Indies Council strongly demanded? Then they had to go out and send official documents and decrees, sheepskins, framed in glass and wooden frames.

And it should be written like this: The Ming and Western co-governance of New Spain were jointly garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty and Spain, and the Spanish West India Affairs Committee asked the Oriental Military Government of the Ming Empire to establish the post of General Military Officer of New Spain, and canonized the commander of the Western Army as the deputy general army of New Spain, and led the garrisons of the two countries to organize the defense.

New Spain, that's really Wang Xiaoer's New Year's Day is not as good as a year.

At the beginning of the Almansa era, the Ming Dynasty appeared three thousand miles away and was expelled by the legion commander Bernal because the old governor did not lead the battle; When Bernal is in his time, I will fight you if I can't beat you for hundreds of miles.

Then Alva came, although he didn't want to fight and couldn't match Chen Mu's strong words, but he could still fight with reason.

By the time Alva was gone, the West Indian Affairs Committee had no idea whether he was a Spaniard or a Ming Dynasty.

The development of the situation has long jumped out of their control, they can rely on Philip's royal order to block Almansa, but they can add to Yang Tingxiang?

Don't say they can't, even Philip can't sanction Yang Tingxiang.

The Council friars, who recognized this reality, also walked in two.

With his appointment as the chief military officer of New Spain, 4,000 households on the border were promoted to commanders, 12 100 households to 1,000 households, 24 general flags to 100 households, 48 small banners to general flags, and many more banner troops to small flag officers.

Overnight, Fu Yuan became the chief officer with the largest establishment of the Banner Army of the Oriental Army.

The commander-in-chief of New Spain commanded four guards, and directly integrated the two Spanish regiments that Alva had reorganized and trained into the guard sequence.

He paid Yuan a gambler, and lived up to Dieniang's expectations of him!
