New Jinling City has finally arrived.

Taichang looked at the huge city that had been completely completed not far away, and a hint of relief appeared on his face.

This time, they went from Xinjingzhou Prefecture to Xinyangzhou Prefecture, then from Xinyangzhou Prefecture to British Duke's Mansion, and then from Xinxiang Fucheng to Xinjinling City. They traveled more than 20,000 miles, and took nearly a month!

There was no way, he had to rush back and sign a covenant with Spain.

Spain's "ally" was too important to the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that as long as the Ming Dynasty can hold on to Spain, the so-called powers in the continent will be slowly exhausted. By then, the Ming Dynasty will become the real world overlord.

This covenant will be a covenant that determines the whole world pattern, so he will naturally rush back and sign it.

As for the new Jingzhou Prefecture, he had already ordered the Clippers to pass the order to order Duke Cheng to take charge.

In the areas of Xinyangzhou Prefecture and Xinjingzhou Prefecture, he left behind more than 20 Dragon-toothed warships, more than 200 Wolf-toothed warships, as well as 200,000 soldiers from Shenji Battalion.

He also left behind Li Zhizao, Song Yingsheng and a group of newly promoted science Jinshi were responsible for exploring terrain and mineral resources.

He also gave Duke Cheng Guo's power to dispatch all the guards of Huguang Dusi and Huguang Xingdusi.

He also discussed it with the British Duke and ordered him to cooperate with the Duke of Cheng to develop the new Yangzhou Prefecture and the new Jingzhou Prefecture.

I believe that with the cooperation of these two experienced old national officials, the New Yangzhou Prefecture and the New Jingzhou Prefecture should be able to be developed slowly.

While Taichang was thinking, the flagship was already on the dock, and Lu Xiangsheng was waiting on the dock with a group of civil servants and military generals.

After the monarch and ministers met, Taichang couldn't help asking: "Jiandou, there is news coming from Luzon."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head slowly and said, "No, I have not received any news over there. I guess Carinho has not received a reply from their king."

OK, it seems that I have to wait a moment.

Anyway, he also sent a Dragon Tooth Warship to Luzon with more than ten Wolf Tooth Warships. As soon as the Spanish King's reply arrived, Carinho would naturally come by boat.

Taichang nodded slightly and asked again: "New Jinling City is almost built, right?"

Lu Xiangsheng said without hesitation: "Yes, the emperor, more than 300,000 soldiers and 100,000 Tunwei have worked hard for many years, and the new Jinling City has been completed."

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but patted Lu Xiangsheng on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Jiandou, let's go to the palace to talk. It's so hot outside that it's a bit unbearable."

After saying that, he should first walk to the palace in the city.

The weather in Nanyang is really not very hot. Part of the reason why he came to Xinjinling City was because of the hot weather.

There is no way, if it weren't for the simple air conditioner here, he would be a little unbearable.

Of course, he came here not entirely to covet the coolness of this palace. There are still many things waiting for him to deal with.

For example, the soldiers of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp who stayed here to build a city.

In order to deal with Donghu, he transferred 300,000 soldiers from Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp, plus the 100,000 soldiers from Shenji Camp who were originally in Nanyang and the 100,000 troops who were transferred to Xinjinling City to guard. There were nearly 500,000 troops here.

If it was just to defend the city, there would naturally be no need for so many people.

He could not let hundreds of thousands of soldiers endure the torture of the scorching heat here.

After all, except for the guards who have been guarding here for a long time and some soldiers guarding the bastion, the other soldiers do not even have barracks and can only live in tents.

If this is July and August, it will really make people die of heat.

Therefore, after rushing to Xinjinling City, he immediately sent ships to send 100,000 cavalry of the Shenwu Camp to Guangzhou Prefecture, and asked them to take horses back to the Wubei City Camp by themselves.

There are also 200,000 infantrymen of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp, whom he is preparing to take back when he returns.

The Nanyang Chengcheng announced that the Political Envoy Department would have 100,000 soldiers of the Shenji Camp and 100,000 guards.

In addition, there were tens of thousands of Dutch prisoners, and he had to send a ship to Xinjingzhou Prefecture. Anyway, there was a lot of manpower to mine there, so these people would not have to worry about nothing to do.

He was almost busy just now, and Carinho came here with several generals and civil servants excitedly on the Dragon Tooth Battleship.

Obviously, the Spanish king had already replied, and there was no problem with the alliance.

Although he had already bribed Carenho, the falsehood of the alliance still needs to be discussed.

New Jinling City Palace, in a brand new examination room.

Valley

Taichang sat high in the main seat, while Carinho took several generals and civil servants to the left of the long conference table. There were several journalists behind them, and opposite them were Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and four generals of staff.

This is an alliance negotiation, so there is no need to give anyone any warning, so Taichang did not rank any powerful camp.

Carinho only brought five subordinates in total, and it would be enough for him to arrange a similar number of people.

When Taichang saw that everyone was sitting, he pretended to be honest and said seriously: "Governor General, what do you say about the issue of Luzon?"

Oh, Your Majesty, you are so polite.

Of course, Carinho knew that he could not show his feet before his hands.

He also pretended to be serious: "His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty our King agreed to exchange the colonies of Luzon for the Dutch warships and armed merchant ships captured by your country."

This is definitely no problem.

Because if the Ming Dynasty is not replaced, they will take action. At that time, not only will they not get any warships and merchant ships, but they will also be beaten up, and their relationship with the Ming Dynasty will not be maintained.

The Spanish king knew this very well, so he agreed readily to this condition.

Taichang nodded slightly, then asked seriously: "What do you say about the transaction between pure copper and rubber?"

Carinho also replied seriously: "His Majesty our king agreed to expand production and provide the Ming Empire with 100 million jin of pure copper and 1 million barrels of rubber every year, one tael of silver and ten jin of pure copper, and one bucket of rubber and ten taels of silver. This, our king has no objection, but your Ming Empire must bring cash silver to America to pick up the goods, pay the money and deliver the goods in the same way."

This was all discussed in advance, but there was nothing to talk about, it was just a fake idea to go through the motions.

Next is the key point.

Taichang nodded slightly again, and then said seriously: "It is no problem for our Ming Empire to send ships to pick up goods, and there is no problem for the transaction of cash banks. However, there must be large supply points and large ports along the way. What does Your Majesty the King say about this?"

Carinho still answered seriously: "His Majesty our king said that we have no time to build large supply points and large ports. If you Ming Empire wants, you can build them yourself.

We can provide you with a piece of land with an area of ​​no more than 100 square kilometers for you to build large supply points and large ports in the jurisdiction of the Governor General of New Spain, the Governor General of New Granada, the Governor General of Peru, and the Governor General of La Plata.

You can choose places, but the area must not exceed one hundred square kilometers."

OK, one hundred square kilometers is big enough, so there is no need to emphasize it again and again.

The last point is the most important.

Taichang nodded slightly again, and then solemnly said: "What does your king say about the issue of the canal and the island in the middle of America?"

Now he is serious, not pretending.

Carinho said seriously: "His Majesty our king said that we can draw out the territory between the jurisdiction of the Governor General of New Spain and the Governor General of New Granada for you to build, and the islands in the middle of America can also be given to you as bases. However, you must ensure that there is no problem with the merchant ships from the east coast of America and our native Spain."

This means I have to send warships to protect your merchant ships, right?

It seems that the Spanish king was really scared by pirates from Britain and the Netherlands.

OK, no problem.

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "We can ensure the safety of your merchant ships, but the premise is that your merchant ships must report to our Ming Navy when they travel between the East Coast of America and the mainland of Spain, otherwise we cannot send warships to protect them."

Carinho nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, we can write this into the covenant."

This drama is almost done, can you sign a contract?

Taichang asked in a fake way: "Do you have any questions?"

Unexpectedly, there is indeed.

Carinho said carefully: "His Majesty our king hopes to add a sentence to the covenant that the Ming Empire and our Spanish Kingdom will never invade each other and will not seize any overseas territory of each other."

Oh, are you still afraid that I will rob your colony?

To be honest, I really have no interest in your land colonies.

I can guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will not hit you, but I will not be able to control whether others will hit you!

The Treaty on the Alliance between the Ming Empire and the Kingdom of Spain was signed.

It can be said that this is a covenant that can determine the world pattern, because the territory of the Ming Empire has spread throughout the Far East, while the Spanish colonies are spread across the Americas and Africa. The territories of the two countries together occupy most of the world!

Who can compete with such a powerful alliance?
Chapter completed!
