Chapter 514 Phoenix Bathed in Fire (First update, please subscribe)
A seemingly large-scale rebellion took only two days from eruption to quelling. Under the attack of armored vehicles and cavalry, nearly [-] rebels resisted for less than three hours, and ended up with Surrendered at the cost of more than half the casualties.

The next morning, Haldane, as the leader of the rebels, was escorted to Yingtian.

In the former presidential palace, Zhu Xianhai met him—he was still wearing an Argentine military uniform, his face was haggard, and his eyes were full of doubts. When he saw Zhu Xianhai, his instinctive reaction was.

"Why? Why are you destroying the whole city!"

For Haldane, who lived there since he was a child, he witnessed how everything was destroyed in the bombing, and he saw how men and women died in the bombing.

"Either obey or die!"

Zhu Xianhai sneered.

"You chose a dead end yourself, take them! Well, even though you are a rebel, you will receive a fair trial."

"Judgment? What kind of judgment is fair for the conquered?"

Haldane also seemed to know what his fate would be, he couldn't help mocking.

"Land and wealth, you who are the conquerors, will definitely take it from us. Now that you have fulfilled your wish, is it time to end our lives? This is the fate of the conquered!"

"You know very well that this is fate!"

Zhu Xianhai said,
"When you came to this land, who did this land belong to? They were Indians. You just thought that you were the masters of this land. Qin lost his deer and the world chased after it. Haldane, Do you really think that everything you have taken is eternal? Yes, you have taken everything here from the Indians, and you think it is yours! But times have changed now, white people Not everything anymore!"

When Haldane was detained, Zhu Xianhai walked to the window silently. He knew that he had personally changed everything here. The oligarchy is the most important group in the Argentine elite, with an inner circle of about 1400 families formed into tight alliances through social clubs and business associations.Not only do they control more than half of the land, but they also control state power, and now?

All this will be destroyed!

But unexpectedly, Zhu Xianhai was not as excited as imagined.Because he thought of the future of himself and the new Ming Empire. The future empire is always a sword hanging above his head. This sword has its own internal—240 million Spanish-speaking residents, which is the biggest internal trouble of the empire.This internal problem cannot be changed for at least the next 10 years.Externally, the UK is the biggest threat to the empire, because the expansion of the empire directly conflicts with the interests of the UK, and it is strategically beneficial to form an alliance with France, because France's energy is on the European continent, and at most it is North Africa, which is harmful to the empire. South America and the Pacific have very limited interest.

However, the performance of France's pit teammates in history makes people dare not trust them at all. More importantly, France is easy to persuade!

Flying the white flag is a French tradition!

"If the French are persuaded, don't I have to face the pressure from the UK alone?"

Zhu Xianhai hesitated. He couldn't be sure whether France, as an ally, was reliable. He couldn't guarantee that they would draw their swords to help the empire, and he couldn't guarantee that they would coax faster.

"Let's take one step at a time! The future... let's leave it to the future!"

A month later, after a long trial, in the face of a large amount of evidence, more than [-] members of the "Argentine Restoration Committee" involved in the rebellion were sentenced, although according to the law, more than half of them were sentenced to death .

But the emperor was merciful. Except for the execution of rebels like Haldane, the others were pardoned and exiled instead-they were exiled to Africa to contribute to the empire's rainforest colonization.

Even though he was so benevolent, he was still criticized by the outside world. In the church, some priests gave speeches in the name of worship. Zhu Xianhai pretended not to mind this at all, and he kept a friendly smile.

But in the middle of the night a few days later, someone arrested the leaders and sent them to the newly built "Little Black Room" prison. Why not send these priests to Africa... where they will become missionaries.

Since then, "The Man Who Disappears at Night" has become a topic that people in Yingtian like to talk about.

A series of iron fists brought both fear and stability. When a rebellion was destroyed, a large amount of land was confiscated, and land reform was implemented, another major event was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Of course, it is the issuance of currency. In fact, Nanhua has already issued currency as early as the beginning of Nanhua’s founding, from minting silver pesos to silver dollar certificates of the Bank of America, and even HSBC Bank, which specializes in domestic production, is in the country. Silver dollar certificates were issued.This year, any larger bank will issue bank notes, that is, silver dollar notes.It is the kind that can be exchanged for gold and silver coins, almost equivalent to silver notes.

In the case of Midi, until the Civil War, all paper money was issued by... private banks.That is, after the Civil War, the government only printed [-] million knives.

However, we are not rice emperors, and the country must have the right to mint coins.Almost at the same time as the occupation of Buenos Aires, the plan to issue new coins was mentioned on the agenda. In the past year, through the exchange of gold and silver coins, Nanhua notes, which are also bank notes, have been replaced in the market. As for the issuance of peso bank notes by various banks in Argentina, because the reserves of those banks deposited in the central bank were "looted" by the Argentine government in exile, and became a piece of paper when the bank went bankrupt, and I do not know how many ordinary people went bankrupt because of this.

But despite this, it still hasn't stopped the pace of currency unification - after all, only Nanhua bonds are accepted in the market.While the currencies in the market are gradually unifying, the implementation of the "National Currency Plan" aimed at directly controlling the currency issuance rights by the government is also being accelerated.When Zhu Xianhai went on an expedition to Europe, Nanhua’s mint had already started making molds for gold and silver coins, but the printing of banknotes was more important than gold and silver coins. After all, banknotes are the most important transaction currency in the market—because they are Easy to carry.

In the past few months, Hu Xueyan, the governor of the Central Bank, has been paying attention to the plate-making and printing work of the "Central Bank Note". After the first batch of sample banknotes were printed, he ran over immediately Credit to His Majesty.

At the moment when the sample banknotes were unfolded, Zhu Xianhai was slightly taken aback, staring at the banknotes and said.

"This...is "Fire Phoenix"!"
