Chapter 744 Consecration

"Why are you retreating? General, Bernal still has an elite army stationed in eastern Mexico. General, listen to me, it's also a mixed-blood army."

Governor Almansa was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot when he received the news that the Ming army was going to retreat. During the retreat, he kept beating his horse and chattering around Shao Tingda: "As long as we march and defeat them now, we can enter Mexico City."

"Taking control of Mexico City, it only takes three days, three days and I can have Bernal tried by the West India Council and the Church."

"As long as I am still the governor of New Spain, New Spain has restraint power over the governorship of Peru, I can order their three legions to retreat, and these disputes can be ended without the need for dead people."

Seeing that Shao Tingda was unmoved, Almansa became anxious and said: "Jesus Legion is very powerful and has been fighting pirates in the West Indies. As long as they can be defeated like Herrera Legion, Bernard You will no longer have the will to resist."

Shao Tingda glanced at Almansa with two black circles on his head, and continued on his way, saying: "Old man, last night I paid homage to the fallen flag soldiers and didn't go to sleep until midnight, and today I got up early to hurry, you let me Quiet your ears."

"Acapulco is an important port. Our reinforcements and Bernal's reinforcements will land there. I can't let the forts of that port face my brother's fleet—let me rest for a while, rest for a while."

"You are riding a horse! Can't sleep!"

Almansa waved his horsewhip angrily, and said anxiously: "Your Commander Chen is here, the Ming army will send nearly [-] soldiers, and the Peruvian army will send [-] soldiers. The two sides are evenly matched. It will be a big battle. Everyone will die here!"

"If the war is over before they come, no one will die, you understand?"

Of course Shao Tingda understood.

It is one thing to understand, but another to think about it!
How can Asia become Ming's Asia?Running the Spaniards away is the first step, and the conventional means can even be figured out clearly: the Asian Economic and Strategic Government will provide support, convene merchants to compete in trade, make the Spaniards unprofitable here, and then reach an agreement through the governments of the two countries. contract, the Spaniards withdrew from Asia.

But this is too slow after all. It may take ten or twenty years to do it. It may take three generations to eliminate the influence of the Spaniards here. What's more, even Chen Mu, who puts Juyongguan on his face, has to pay attention to the teacher's work. famous.

If there is no name, he has to make up a name.

How fast is war!

The six standing legions took this opportunity to wipe out as many as they could.

In Shao Tingda's eyes, the opponent of this war is Spain, but it is for the aboriginals to see who is stronger through the war, and let them know who is better through the treatment after the war.

Asia will become Ming's Asia.

Like Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Xinmingzhou, Asia.

Mang Chong usually doesn't think about these issues, but he knows Chen Mu well enough that he knows that Chen Mu will definitely think about it this way.

That cousin, if you don't pick up the money when you go out, you will be compensated.

Comparing the two, Almansa can only be wronged - he thought that his interests were tied to Daming's interests, but in fact they were not.

"I know, but I can't know that Acapulco is a battleground between the two armies and leave it alone?"

Shao Tingda took a step back in words, and said: "But what you said is also reasonable. The last army is still a threat in the hands of Bernal, so we have to find a way."

Find a way to gag your mouth.

"What's the name of that legion commander?"

Seeing Shao Tingda's prevarication, Almansa was angry and had to answer, saying: "Jesus, the Jesús Legion."

"Okay, good name."

Shao Tingda choked on the name when he originally thought about it, and asked, "You guys like to name people with gods? If my name is Jade Emperor, Brother Mu will call me an idiot."

Jesús is Jesus, but because the European provinces, no, the dialects of European countries have different tones, so it is pronounced in Spanish as Jesus.

At this moment, Almansa looked like a magic stick, and said devoutly: "It is a gift from God to people to be able to be named after God, because God loves the world."

Shao Tingda frowned, his body slowly bumped with the horse, raised his hand to stop the stick and said, "Jesus, you can write him a letter, just say, I am very happy to hear that you have passed on the letter..."

!

Almansa opened his mouth slightly and looked at Shao Tingda like a monster. He could barely understand a few simple Chinese, but this Ming Dynasty general actually spoke another obviously different language!

"Forget that you don't understand, we have two ways of writing and speaking." Shao Tingda smiled, raised his horsewhip and gestured in front of him in Spanish and said: "I am very happy after reading the letter you wrote to me."

"But this is too risky. The time to assassinate Bernal has not yet come. If you miss, you will be convicted for it... Don't interrupt and listen to me."

"Now I have captured Taxco, but I don't have many troops, and I can't attack Mexico. I hope you can persuade Bernal to lead the army to leave Mexico and attack me. I will lay an ambush here and lead your army in the battle. I ordered the defection and defeated Bernal in one fell swoop."

"Your subordinates Li Goudan, Wang Ershuan, etc., you know that his subordinates even write the name of the captain, they can be trusted... This god, do you know what expectations he has for his career?"

Almansa is more used to the intrigue between nobles and courts, but he never thought that this kind of thing can also be used in battle. Shao Tingda knew what it meant when he opened his mouth, and then he said: " He always wanted to have a title in the West Indies one day."

"In order to make this letter more authentic, I can at the end of the letter promise to recommend Bernal to the king as the governor of Cuba after his death."

After Almansa finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "This letter is very good, but there are still two problems."

Shao Tingda blinked, he didn't expect this old man to understand what it meant when he was so upbeat, could it be... Could it be that he has also read Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
"what is the problem?"

"How did this letter get to Bernal? I don't want the guard who delivered the letter to be caught and burned to death. I need a reliable person and a reliable method."

"That's your business. There is no acquaintance with Shao in Mexico City." General Mang yawned indifferently, and said, "What's the other problem?"

Another question?
The old man made people uncomfortable: "General, this is not an honor."

"honor?"

Shao Tingda endured the unknown anger all morning and finally let it out, cursing: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"Definitely write."

Got it!

But just as Shao Tingda yelled such a sentence, he heard cavalry galloping from the narrow path beside the formation, calling out: "General, General!"

Hei Yunlong's servant ran this road three times in two days and nights, and Shao Tingda's eyes went straight when he saw him... Isn't this person tired?
It's just changing horses. How does it feel to ride hundreds of miles on horseback?

Still full of energy, he clasped his fists solemnly and exuded excitement, and said: "The enemy troops stationed in Taxco fled, and the black general has already stationed in Taxco!"

Shao Tingda unconsciously covered his mouth with his hand.

'Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk nonsense in the future, this mouth...is it open? '
