Several new Spanish aristocrats sat in the side hall of the Yamen of the Changsheng Oriental Military Mansion in panic, and in order to receive them, Zou Yuanbiao also specially used the public to buy several courtyards next to Bacon's residence to the aboriginal people who built them, and expanded the usable area of the Siyi Pavilion.

According to Zou Zhixian, these Spanish nobles are too much like frightened birds.

They had come from Mexico City, and by virtue of the fact that they had exchanged gold and silver coins for a large number of Tongbao in Wangjiabao in the past trade, and were familiar with the officials and garrison officers in charge of currency exchange, they reported Chang Sheng after a short refuge in Wangjiabao, to be precise, they had escaped from Mexico City.

Why escape?

Because the pirates landed.

This reason is too ridiculous in the eyes of Chen Mu, Zou Yuanbiao and others.

The six guys who had been transformed from the old Iberian aristocracy to the new nobility of the New World all had vast lands and plantations on the east side of the border, and the land under their names was even larger than the land of a village of Changsheng immigrants, and each of them had plantations under their names and the aboriginal slaves could form a small tribe when they were released.

Moreover, they still have the power of force, and the hired guards who transport their families and goods together form a small army with a strength of 200 people.

Just such a group of people, more than 500 family members, slaves, and guards, because a pirate fleet landed on the east coast six hundred miles away from Mexico City, rolled up gold and silver and ran away!

And according to the time of the news from Wangjiabao, the military government yamen reversed the time, and it is likely that several of them fled to the border line and hid in Wangjiabao at the first time when the pirates landed.

It's weird, it's funny, it's incomprehensible.

What a fortified capital city Mexico City is, and although it has no walls, it is located in the middle of a large lake, and is only connected to the land by two long bridges.

There are only two ways to get in and out, either to storm from the long bridge, and no amount of troops can spread out there; Either you can control the lake to make it into the city.

Even the Aztecs, who had no iron or firearms, first killed the king after the king surrendered to the Spaniards, and set up a new king to create a 'night of sorrow' for the Spaniards, and then fell to the Spaniards in all the villages outside the city and lost foreign aid, and after the royal city was heavily surrounded, the new king led the lake to stop the western army on the lake for 93 days.

At present, New Spain has two Spanish half-blood regiments garrisoned, more than 1,000 Ming troops, and 800 bird guns trained by Yang Ting.

What pirates can hit Mexico City?

If it weren't for the fact that it was the pirates of the Han Kingdom who had landed afterwards, Chen Mu and Zou Yuanbiao's earlier preparations were to put these six new nobles under house arrest, suspecting that the pirates were their people, and planning to attack Chang Sheng with the inside and outside.

Of course, they won't be able to capture the Great Wall of Flesh and Blood, even if each of the six new nobles pulls a tractor out of their pockets.

However, these new nobles were quite at ease with what they encountered, and their families, slaves, and guards were separated and placed without complaint, but they made them look a little panicked after waiting for a long time to be summoned by Chen Mu.

The crisis of the pirate landing is obviously not enough for them to flee to Changshenglai, let alone anywhere, why flee to Changsheng?

Chen Mu has only one understanding of their behavior - to vote for their names.

The governance system of the Spaniards in the New World in the past has long been unworkable, and now it is Yang Tingxiang who can decide everything, and the person who controls Yang Tingxiang's actions is always winning.

Chen Mu summoned them and didn't mean anything else, the eight guest seats in the side hall were all full, Chen Mu, who was dressed in military uniform, walked out of the back hall with a solid step, smiled at everyone in front of the main seat, and slowly sat down before saying: "Chen knows what you are doing when you come to Changsheng, not that there is a Han fleet landing, you ask for help from Wangjiabao, hoping to enter Changsheng for refuge." ”

"General Chen, it's not a fleet, it's a pirate fleet!" A new Spanish nobleman with a thick beard and Arab descent uttered a long sentence to prove his convictions: "They are so vicious that few of the serious merchants in the Atlantic who meet them will return alive!" ”

Chen Mu glanced at the two Ming people sitting at the front of the guest seat with a smile, and then nodded slowly to the new nobleman, repeating: "Serious businessman? Of the blackest dye? ”

"Then I won't let you run here, the garrison of Mexico City can protect you, as far as I know, there are less than a thousand people in the landing fleet, and more than three hundred people remain on the coast to guard the ships."

"Just a few hundred people, you ran hundreds of miles."

It seemed that the guy with Arab blood was the leader of the Spaniards, and he shook his head and said, "I can't believe those two half-blood legions, they were vulnerable in the past wars, and only the army of the Ming Empire can protect Mexico City." ”

This is said as if he was a Ming Dynasty man.

No, where are the real Ming Dynasty people so fanatical!

The immigrants and soldiers in the New World were forced by life, and the real Ming Dynasty people didn't care if they could protect Mexico City, nor did they think about any weird ideas to protect this place and protect there, everyone just wanted to earn more money and let the family live a better life.

As long as the foundation of the monarch is stable, everything is worried about by the court, and it is enough for the people to live their own small lives with peace of mind, and the people don't even need to know the worries of the court.

Only in the last years of the Central Plains, when the monarch's father could not bear the power of internal and external tearing, would the people know that the imperial court was no longer able to protect them, and they were allowed to recruit troops to defend themselves.

I'd rather die than die in the world.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Taishou Prefecture Mu, and the late Tang Dynasty's Jiedu envoys were similar to this kind of thinking, in the end, regardless of who was divided and who was called the emperor, the final stability of the last dynasty can always experience a mature ruling group, and someone can kill it after all.

This strange situation in the New World is inevitable, the new land, if it is lost, it does not belong to the imperial court, it doesn't matter, and even if it is just immigration control, it has no impact on the imperial court, and it is better than nothing.

"Only the Ming Empire can protect Mexico City?"

Chen Mu hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "You are right, get to know Yang Ce, the general of the Han Kingdom, and he brought the fleet that landed on the east coast." ”

"They originally wanted to attack New Spain, but they met the soldiers and horses of General Fu, the chief military officer of New Spain, and then they knew that New Spain was a co-administered area between the Ming Dynasty and Spain, so they came over by themselves."

"Now Mexico City is fine, there is no war, you can go back."

Chen Mu's words blinded the six New Spanish nobles, and several people were dumbfounded, never expecting this kind of result, and looked at Yang Ce, who was sitting at the head of the guest seat, tremblingly, and finally stammered speechless.

Of course they didn't run here to take refuge, now let them go?

"Not leaving?" Chen Mu spread his hands and said, "Since you don't want to leave, let's talk about it, what can Chen do for you?" ”
