Chapter 406: The Valley of Exile
Chen Mu browsed the official documents and had to admit that Fei Laoer's Spanish feudal aristocrats and upper-class court bureaucrats were attentive to "their new world", at least very attentive to policy constraints, even better than the Eastern Military Palace, which he had armed with half-baked traditional officials.
However, under the cover of absolute military and economic advantages, this political intention seems insignificant.
Yang Tingxiang's report shows that the sixteen senior officials of the Indian Affairs Commission were all from prominent Spanish nobles, and they were appointed by King Philip himself to take over the king to control all his power in the New World.
Recommend candidates suitable for senior officials in the New World to the country; draft policies and edicts on the New World for the king, promulgate the laws of the New World, and review the rules and regulations formulated by the governors; send inspectors to the governors and officials at all levels to inspect the work of the resigned governors; review senior management such as resigned governors, and start reviewing civil and criminal cases of the New World; and everyone entering the New World from the Old World must obtain the New World adventure charter they promulgated, be responsible for the defense of the New World, maintain smooth trade in various places, check the accounts of each city, and also supervise local trade.
"The establishment of a affairs committee in the Western countries is linked together, but there is only one loophole." Yang Tingxiang patiently waited for Chen Mu to read all the documents before introducing: "They are not strong enough. Spain never thought that the enemy would appear from the west. Therefore, when dealing with our war, officials at all levels were reluctant to do so. The Governor of New Spain needed to inform the committee for any matter, which would delay the opportunity for war."
"After the war, the Commission had no precedent for implementing laws on the borders of both sides and even the co-government areas. The communication between the upper and lower levels was not smooth, and there was no consciousness or power to seize power. Now, the power of New Spain has been almost completely abandoned, and it also lost the people's hearts."
Yang Tingxiang used his hands to move the neatly arranged ornaments on the table to the side, saying: "They owned aristocrats in New Spain, and after the war, the merchants failed, Alva withdrew their troops, left New Spain in large numbers twice in two years, and then continued to leave on a small scale or enter Mexico City to open shops."
"At the beginning they would put the estate and plantations at a sale price and put it on the Indian Affairs Commission for people to buy, but no one could buy it."
When talking about 'no one can buy', Yang Tingxiang had a great confidence on his face and said with his hands slightly open: "General Lin's soldiers have been around New Spain. The old guerrilla army, which is full of wind and sun, will have holidays. He will go to Guatemala or Colombia to teach the rebel army of Lautaro in the south, but at the same time he also recruited some guerrilla troops from the indigenous peoples, liberate some slaves today, lead two horses tomorrow, and burn a piece of land the next day."
"Until those nobles and merchants found that hanging the manor in Mexican yamen was a better way to do it, of course, the price was lower."
"These lands will be bought by the ever-winning immigrants in a way that conforms to the law. They are all immigrants who make a lot of money in the west, hiring the natives to repair plantations, produce them, and build surrounds."
Yang Ting compared four fingers and said, "From the border fort built by Alva to Daxi Port, there are now more than 40 walled buildings under construction. One walled building is a village community, which is a land of ten miles. There are more than 600 local nobles who are still in New Spain, but their manor plantations are only 166."
Chen Mu frowned: "What are there 166 places?"
Chen Muba couldn't let the entire New World be from the Ming Dynasty. He was unhappy with a Spanish, let alone more than 100 Spanish plantations, which meant that in the New Spain Governor's District, there were still 10,000 to 40,000 people under the command of two or three hundred Spanish.
The Eastern Military Palace should eliminate the influence of the Spaniards in the New World as soon as possible, leaving only the merchants who gave silver to Ming merchants in the city, just like leaving only the Spanish who dug silver to the Ming Dynasty in Peru, that's enough.
But he did not expect that what Yang Ting would say was probably the darkest fact that the Ming Dynasty Eastern Military Palace arrived in the New World, which was even darker than Chen Mu's staying with the Spaniards to enslave the indigenous people in the Peru Governor's Governor's District to mine silver mines.
The Governor of New Spain, Yang Tingxiang shook his head and arched his hands: "Master, in the end, the Governor of New Spain will leave 100 plantations to be controlled by the Spanish planters, and gradually move them and their slaves to a valley called Tevacan Quicatra in the north of Mexico City."
Yang Tingxiang had a expressionless face and a calm tone: "Whether he is a local immigrant, a flag army, a Korean, a Japanese, a Spanish or an indigenous, the Ming Dynasty does not accept anyone with Spanish disease."
"The valley is in a good environment. I have visited it. It has green mountains and clear waters, and there are all trees and fields, which is a good isolation area."
Chen Mu knew that Yang Tingxiang was talking about syphilis, a virus that spreads wildly in the land where Europeans have lived. Like tuberculosis, it is a terminal illness in this era.
The impact of this infectious disease was accidentally ignored by him. Now, it seems that the culprit of the last 100 Spanish plantations in Yang Tingxiang's plan should be the order he issued to the border general Fu Yuan during the confrontation between Mingxi and Xi: take away what should be taken away, and leave what should be left behind.
At that time, he did not expect that the order he issued casually would be implemented in this land very thoroughly. It seemed that they had always adhered to this order. On every inch of the map, the Eastern Military Palace did not accept people infected with the disease.
So where can those who are sick go? They can only go to the Spaniards without such constraints. In the end, the healthy Aboriginals all went to the Ming Dynasty, while the sick Aboriginals all went to the Spaniards.
Seeing that Chen Mu did not have a clear objection, Yang Tingxiang continued: "Then block the valley, and from the valley, they will set up officials to manage it, prohibit breeding and expiration, and set up hundreds of households in the exits."
"They must be under strict supervision, and it is easier for military doctors to treat it, and it can also prevent the disease from spreading among the flag army."
Yang Tingxiang paused for a moment when he said this. Speaking of which, the greatest hero who could strictly restrain himself was Zhao Shizhen. Thanks to his writing of the "Guide to Death of Guns", he let every flag army know what he could do and what he could not do here.
It is inevitable to expect the superior to restrain himself, but more importantly, the flag army knows that he restrains himself, which is easier than anyone supervising him.
"The evil made by Spain."
Chen Mu said something without hesitation, got up and walked around the square table and patted Yang Tingxiang who pretended to be calm: "We will eliminate smallpox, and we can also eliminate Spanish disease."
In his memory, China has indeed eliminated this infectious disease.
