Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 762 Continental Shock

Ming not only captured Mexico City, but also successfully annihilated the main force of the Mexican Spanish army.

Almost tantamount to destroying the colonial rule of New Spain.

Let’s count the results. So far in the Battle of New Spain, the biggest result is the capture of Governor Bartolomé, and another good show called the Governor.

In addition, the Battle of Mexico City killed a total of 9000 Spanish soldiers and Spanish immigrant manor armed forces, and captured [-] Spanish soldiers, [-] were captured in the city, and [-] were captured in the woods outside the city.

Counting the 2 Spanish soldiers who were wiped out in the border battle, and the other Spanish troops and Spanish immigrant manors who were defeated along the way, there were no less than 8 armed soldiers. The number of Spanish soldiers captured and wiped out by the Ming army has reached more than [-].

The remaining armed forces of New Spain were simply powerless to resist the Ming army.

Immediately, under the coercion of Chen Shichang and Liu Junqing, the governor of New Spain signed the "Mingxi-Mexico Treaty" under the pressure of Chen Shichang and Liu Junqing.

The signing of this treaty means that Spain's rule in Zhongyinzhou for more than a century has officially ended.

The only thing that made the Spaniards happy was that their South American colony and sugar-producing Cuba were preserved.

In terms of South America, Ming had to properly digest the large colonies it had occupied before, and could not win it for the time being.

The Cuban colony in the nearby Caribbean Sea was unable to land because there was no fleet on the east coast of Yinzhou in Ming Dynasty.

In the month after the signing of the "Mingxi-Mexico Treaty", the Ming army relied on Bartolomé to carry the treaty and successively took over the Spanish colonies in northern Panama.

The native Spanish also pinched their noses and recognized it.

At this time, the Spanish Empire no longer had the domineering arrogance it once had. At the same time, they were facing the Ming Empire in the Far East.

In their eyes, it was an empire that was so huge that it was suffocating, and whose national power was so powerful that it was frightening.

If the former Qing Dynasty controlled China, such fears would be superfluous.

And now it is Zhu Kezang's new Ming Dynasty, which is showing its powerful fangs.

If the Spaniards increase troops to support Zhongyinzhou, Zhu Kezang can also increase troops to support Zhongyinzhou.

Yinzhou, the future must belong to Daming, no matter whether it is Northern Yinzhou, Middle Yinzhou, or Southern Yinzhou.

Some people may say that this is too greedy, can you eat so much?

Do you know that for a foodie, even if he can't eat it, he will never give it to others.

Zhu Kezang of Zhongyinzhou has long been coveted.

During the period of great voyages, Zhongyinzhou, where the Mexican highlands were located, was the core of the entire New World.

Zhongyinzhou not only has extremely rich humanities and mineral resources, but also contains unknown natural resources.

Chili, pepper, tomato, cigar, tobacco, tequila, potato, corn.
These familiar fruits, vegetables and delicacies are all produced in Zhongyinzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that if America is compared to a golden crown, then Central America is the most dazzling ruby ​​on the top of the crown.

Therefore, the Spaniards were defeated in this kind of war, and they had to maintain a good relationship with Daming with a smile, so that they could still buy goods from Daming in Yinzhou.

Because the New Guinea colony is gone, now Spain can only rely on the South American colonies to import goods from Ming Dynasty, and the import volume of goods will increase.

And in this war, the Spaniards lost morally.

Zhu Kezang started the war on the grounds that the Spaniards attacked the Ming colony for no reason, and he has morally overwhelmed the Spaniards.

The ceding of Zhongyinzhou is also part of the compensation. The Spaniards really did not lose money by stealing chickens, and paid for the entire silver-producing land.

The Sino-Yinzhou war ended quickly in the astonishment of European countries. European countries originally thought that the war would last for a long time. After all, the Spaniards have many strongholds in Central America, and it must take some time to deal with these strongholds.

The entire war ended in such a short time, and the Spanish Empire compromised so quickly, which also allowed European countries to clearly see the strength of the Spanish Empire.

The Spanish Empire is in its twilight years and is no longer as strong as it used to be.

It was the United Kingdom first, then the Netherlands, and now the Ming Empire in the Far East. The British may have won the war because of luck, and the Dutch may have won the war because of luck, but the Ming Empire relied on strength to win the war.

It was not unexpected that the Spaniards compromised. The Ming Empire in the Far East had already demonstrated its terrifying national strength, but it was too fast.

Once the Spaniards lose the precious metal income in Zhongyinzhou, Spain's national power will be further hit.

The industrial base of the Spaniards is weak, and many things are dependent on imports, which require a lot of precious metals. It is conceivable that the Spaniards were embarrassed after losing the benefits of precious metals.

France and Shinra can't wait for the death of Carlos II to have a bite of fat.

When the latest news from Yinzhou was sent to Madrid.

"It's over!"

"The Spanish Empire is over..."

Carlos II's mother, Regent Maria Ana looked at the letter from Governor Bartolomé and the "Mingxi-Mexico Treaty", staring blankly as she murmured.

The news of Zhong Yinzhou's loss undoubtedly made her realize that the world empire that she had worked so hard to save for her son had been declared doomed!

Will never rebuild again!
It is even impossible for Spain to maintain its international status in Europe.

Today's Spain is, at best, a second-rate country in continental Europe.

The top ones are France, Rakshasa, England, and the Netherlands!
And the Spanish Empire is only worthy of being with small countries like Portugal and Sweden!

Because Spain, which has lost the financial source of Zhongyinzhou, has lost its power to dominate Europe only by relying on its own barren land and a small population.

Maria Anna was severely hit, but the ministers standing in front of her seemed extraordinarily calm.

Compared to Maria Anna, who just woke up now, they actually knew that the Spanish Empire was over.

And, this fact has been accepted.

It's just that our regent, Maria Anna, is unwilling to accept it.

Now, seeing that the old woman Maria Anna accepted this result, instead of being disappointed, they were happy.

Because Maria Anna accepted this status quo, this fact, and abandoned those unrealistic fantasies, it was in the interest of Spain.

At least, it can reduce the number of soldiers and military expenses borne by the Spaniards in the current European Crusades.

Before, Maria Anna sent many troops to reinforce Shinra against Ottoman.

Now, finally another excuse to lower the ever-increasing tax burden!
But I saw that the Minister of Finance stepped forward.

"His Royal Highness, if we lose New Spain, our tax revenue this year will be greatly reduced. You should ask the Crusader Headquarters to reduce the proportion of military expenditure this year..."

"At the same time, we should reduce the size of our military in the European Crusades!"

"But what about the damned Ottomans if we scale back?"
