New Spain in Acosta's eyes are indeed devastated, and when you see it, it is all internal and external troubles.

The West India Council did not have enough financial resources to pay the garrison on time, and their maintenance costs were huge, but people could do nothing.

Everything here must be supplied to the royal family and paid taxes to the church. The arms competition brought by the Ming army made them exhausted - this was the result of all the output being fully started.

It is imperative to give Indians the power to the "people". Indigenous people are slaves to the east of the border, but once they cross the border, they will become free people. The government offices issued farm tools to divide the land, and even shared oxen with others. Even if they were unwilling to be farmers, there was still a lot of work to do.

Over time, more indigenous tribes will move together. Once the army suppresses it, civil unrest will lead to further weakening the strength of New Spain; you can let it go without it, and it will also be bleeding slowly.

Monk Acosta knew very well how great the Ming Kingdom's absorption of indigenous people would have in the future.

There is no doubt that they will get more farmers from it, they will reclaim more land, they will recruit more soldiers, and they will create more tools.

Spain must also take this path in the New World to have the opportunity to compete with the Ming Kingdom - this competition is not to compete with the Ming Kingdom for the ownership of a piece of land or to find the scene in the war. To be honest, no one is naive to think that the failure of the two wars in Ming and West ended in their shortage of troops.

No one was indifferent to the threat from Ming Dynasty, but their power seemed too pale in the face of this huge threat.

Peru's Governor Francisco de Toledo even two months ago Deng Zilong sent a fleet from Panama to the east coast to pass by Limahou and sent the captain to return to Spain to meet the king with his private letters.

In the private letter of the Governor of Peru, he expressed his concerns about the Ming Dynasty and suggested that King Philip and Henry III of France be repaired and set out to shelve the differences to prepare for the coalition forces.

There is another famous saying from the mouth of the Governor: Losing trade in the New World and the West Indies, losing the Iberian Peninsula will lose everything. Therefore, the distance between Spain and France depends on the straight line distance between the Ming fleet and Gibraltar.

Some people prepare for war, while others focus on self-improvement.

But there is still no perfect solution to the aftermath. What is infuriating is that Acosta has been in Changsheng County for several months and has not seen how the Ming people deal with problems such as salary from the garrison, wages of the people, and profits from the New World.

Because the Ming Dynasty did not have these problems, there were more than 100,000 Ming people in the three places of Changsheng, Jincheng and Panama. Including the indigenous people, it was nearly 200,000, and it was still growing rapidly. There were soldiers, craftsmen, and officials, but there were no slaves.

The strangest thing is that they attach great importance to silver, which is their currency, but not only did they not send silver to the local area, but instead transported silver here.

It seems that as long as they can be self-sufficient, they have already met the highest requirements of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty for them.

It was as if the emperor they served sent 100,000 people to come here just to release population pressure.

One of the big arguments that Acosta would think this way was that it was that there was a drought in the country, so it sent ships, food, money, and so many people.

It’s just a drought. Is the emperor sick? What does it have to do with you? Do you also care about drought?

Why don’t you let it rain if you are so powerful?

Coincidentally, Wanli, who is far away in the Forbidden City, thought the same as Acosta. He walked more than ten miles to the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky and pray for rain this year. He plans to come again next year and tell God that it is impossible not to rain.

With an extremely complex mentality, Monk Acosta crossed the border and continued to set off after a short stay in Wangjia Fort, feeling a little relieved about the development of the situation.

The Ming army was not stationed in Wangjiabao, and there was not much military armed force in the village. At least gunpowder and food were not hoarded in large quantities in the village, and people did not show much hostility towards him, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

In Acosta's mind, not only Chen Mu could not imagine it based on common sense, but even the officers under his command would do whatever they thought.

When Changsheng County was still called Acapulco, the two Ming generals clapped and decided the beginning of a war, turning the diplomatic strategy of military threat into practice. Afterwards, the two generals not only received any punishment, but also became senior officers in the governor's place.

Of course, what Shao Tingda and Fu Yuan did was no different from that of Bernard. The only difference was that they won the war and Bernard was defeated.

If the winner is Bernard, Bernard will not be dealt with at this time and will become Spain's heroic governor in the New World.

But dealing with such people is very dangerous.

In addition to the worries brought by the war, what you saw and heard along the way added a strong sense of jealousy to Acosta's heart.

In this new continent lacking iron ore, even though many slaves in the plantation still use stone farm tools, the plantation owners want to let slave workers work with their hands. What is more inclusive to them than adding farm tools is to buy more slave workers.

But along the way, Acosta saw the Ming immigrants waving iron sickles in the fields. The women in the village inserted corn with wooden sticks and pushed them into a strange machine. They turned out the seeds, as well as potatoes, wheat, sorghum, and cotton. Every village was full of prosperity.

Businessmen from all walks of life drove donkey carts through the official roads, loaded with all kinds of flour, fruits, air-dried bacon and various goods to transport them to the county town. Of course, some of them were also walking against each other, mostly some carriages transporting large jars and small jars.

The things in those clay pots are nervous. Each clay pot has meat and rice. They are sealed with special methods. The food in each clay pot can allow a small flag of Mingjun to have a meal. Obviously, this thing can be preserved for a long time.

Acosta didn't even have the energy to be curious about the production method, and he was left with horror. This was military ration, and they were transporting the military ration to Wangjia Fort.

The monk wanted to go home - there was no hope of preaching here, and was assigned as the chief envoy to deal with the Ming army. He could not do research and would lose his life if he was not prepared.

He didn't even want to go to Changsheng. If he could go back to Madrid, he would feel that it would be like waking up from a dream and waking up from a nightmare.

But he didn't expect that Chen Mu had sent someone to pick him up more than 20 miles away from Changsheng.

Even dinner was prepared at the Changsheng County Military Government Office.

Acosta, who was forced to gallop for twenty miles, was exhausted. When he saw Chen Mu in ordinary clothes, the big devil opened his arms and smiled: "I'm too lazy to send someone to find you, so I sent some soldiers. I know you will come here. I will introduce you to you-this is the governor of New Spain, Yang Junzan."

Acosta kept blinking, looking at the familiar young Ming-Sir in front of him, until Yang Tingxiang, dressed in military uniform, handed the helmet under his ribs to his entourage and arched his hand, and said, "Monster, we have seen it in Lima."
