In the sixth year of Wanli, three Spanish youths rowed a dhow and landed on the boundary peninsula and entered the sphere of influence of the Ming army openly.

They brought with them an old arquebus that they had obtained at the bribe of the Spanish sentry, and did not deliberately hide it from the Ming army on patrol, and even asked the Ming army to inform them of their visit to the governor of Almansa.

The Ming army only cared about their own camp and warships, and did not care about the camp of the governor of New Spain next to them, even for the Spaniards, their eyes were more focused on the military movements on the other side, and for a few young Spaniards, some were only guarded, and there was no more control.

As for handcuffs, isn't it normal for Spaniards to carry one?

At least that's what Governor Almanza's guards thought, but they still didn't let the three young men into the camp.

At the time of the incident, Almansa was preparing to go to the Ming army camp two miles away to attend a dinner party.

The results of the negotiations had long since been transmitted back to the Boundary Peninsula and even to Mexico City on the other side, and had been sent to Panama by land cavalry, which should have already been on the ship to Seville.

He walked out of the camp with two guards, and saw several young faces arguing with the soldiers in front of the camp gate, and as soon as he heard the guards greet him, he heard an exclamation in his ears.

Flames and smoke erupted in front of him, and the lead pellet broke the two fingers that were obscured and continued to slam into the pitch-black plate armor, leaving a thumb-sized dent and a flat lead pellet.

The three youths tried to draw their swords and stab them after missing the blow, but the Spanish Guards did not give them the opportunity, and two were killed on the spot, and another Assassin was knocked to the ground and captured.

When Fu Yuan heard the news, Almansa had already been bandaged improvised, and Almansa who was lying on the bed looked a little weak, but as the news spread, Fu Yuan had already let Fu Yuan know that his poker friend's life was fine.

"I said you should go over early, and you can play two poker games with us, I'm tired of playing your forty cards in Spain, I should try the Italian seventy-eight card play, play two cards, and keep your two fingers."

Fu Yuan said and looked at the black hemostatic cloth in Almansa's left hand with disgust, and instructed his subordinates to go back to the camp to recruit a military doctor, and said, "The Portuguese deserve no one to go to the hospital in Haojing, this is not as good as my military doctor...... It seems that you are wise to run here, and that is the new nobleman you are talking about? ”

If the new nobles of New Spain were all such daring people, Fu Yuan pondered Almanza and asked Gao Ming, and they themselves calmed down the chaos and then handed over the land to the Ming army.

Almansa smiled bitterly and said to Yuan: "The church hospital in Macau is for the French sick and lepers, they are not the new nobles. ”

The so-called French patients are syphilis patients, and the name of syphilis in European countries is the scene of large-scale dumping, all of which are pushed to other countries, and the Ottomans are the most ruthless, directly calling this disease the Christian disease.

"I also didn't expect that after the despicable English pirates invaded the coast, most of the nobles and new nobles of the peninsula had already supported the transfer of part of the land to the Ming Kingdom in exchange for the assistance of the Ming fleet, but forgot about those damn half-bloods."

After the assassination, Almansa no longer had any kindness towards the Spanish Indian mulatto, and in annoyance propped himself up with his right hand and said, "They are better than the new nobles!" ”

Assassins, all half-breeds.

This situation was unexpected, Almansa sat up and said to Yuan: "I am afraid that their assassination of me is only the beginning, if they are dissatisfied with the status quo, the whole of New Spain will be very dangerous, and then the Ming army will have to help." ”

Fu Yuan, who was originally relaxed and even had a little bit of a joke mentality, frowned when he heard the governor of the West say this: "I'm afraid there is only one among such tens of millions of people, what are you afraid of, I will increase patrols on the island, no one can come over again, rest assured to take care of your injuries." ”

"No, you don't understand."

Almansa knew very well that the half-breed was probably not an exception, and it was very beneficial for the new nobles and the peninsular nobles to lose a part of the land they controlled in exchange for the Ming army's defense.

People are more concerned about reality, more concerned about themselves, in the eyes of most people they do not pay much, half of Panama is still in the hands of the Spaniards, the land in the north has not been developed, and what has been lost is only part of the coastal land and desert of the original Inca Empire.

Now it belongs to the Viceroyalty of Peru, and the Indians there have never stopped rebelling, resulting in the excavation of gold, copper and silver mines not going well, which is why they offered the Ming army 50,000 taels of silver a year.

They spend almost half as much as they spend to maintain their rule there.

It's just a handful of plantation owners in Panama and there who are disgruntled, but that's what money can solve.

The real benefit to the Spaniards is that the Ming army can be reasonable, although Chen Mu's greed can swallow an elephant, there is still a reason to talk about in the end.

The English pirates don't care so much about you, especially Drake, where you go, you can grab it, that's the real danger.

People support it or not, it's all because of money.

But mulattoes are different, they oppose because of honor.

They felt superior to their matriarchal compatriots because they had a Spanish father, and under the Spanish education, they were able to draw the butcher's knife against the rebellious Indians without guilt, and they also enjoyed the pride and treatment of enslaving others and being superior.

It is also inevitable that there will be a fragile self-esteem similar to that of an illegitimate child.

For the nobles of the peninsula and the new aristocracy, as long as the conditions are right, it is not impossible to completely abandon the New World, but it is enough to need a huge harvest.

Half-breeds are not good, although they dislike the natives of the New World, although they dislike everything in the New World and even dislike themselves, but leaving the New World, they are worthless.

"I'm worried about Bernal, he's my corps commander, he's the only Spanish corps commander in Mexico, and the mulattoes have two in Mexico and three in Peru."

Almansa pulled Fu Yuan's robe with his right hand and said, "General Fu, if these mongrel legions rebel, please help me defeat them, only Bernal can't hold out for long!" ”

As soon as Almanza's words fell, the assertion of the sound of urns came from outside the tent.

"No need for support!"

Shao Tingda opened the tent with a calm face, looked at the weak Almansa with hatred, and turned his head to look at Fu Yuan and slapped a few official documents into his arms.

"Our fleet had just returned from Acapulco, and a decade before the old man was assassinated, his subordinate was rebelled against by the other captains, and the six captains of the regiments jointly submitted an application to the Council of the West Indies to remove the governor."

"Don't worry, you're still the Governor." Shao Tingda turned his head to look at Almansa on the bed, crooked his mouth and sneered, "Because of this, the six legion commanders united with the new nobles to form an alliance and sent letters to the towns and ports, deciding to launch a war called Allegiance to His Majesty Philip of Spain. ”

"Your people around Mexico are locked up, and New Spain is changing flags everywhere."

Almanza's eyes widened, and for a while he couldn't believe the news, and for a while he held his left hand in his right hand, which looked more sad than breaking two fingers, and stammered: "Then, what about Mexico City?" ”

"Especially in Mexico City, where your defenders have not been released, and Bernal has been elected temporary governor by some council to run with your bishops—you have been banished!"
