Chapter 888 Golden Water
Chen Mu always thought that he was constantly throwing the blame on others, but he didn't expect that the flying horizontal blame could also be pinned on his forehead.

At least for the Spaniards stationed in Mexico City, the word "Chen Mu" can explain to the Portuguese why Spain has been carrying out large-scale military transfers.

There is no more convenient excuse than Chen Mu. Whether it is recruiting troops for the New World or sending warships to Gibraltar, as long as this name is mentioned, no one will think that there is anything wrong with military actions.

The reason why the Spaniards needed to use this excuse was because the Portuguese in Brazil entered Mexico City and tried to get in touch with Chen Mu through Yang Tingxiang.

Yang Tingxiang’s stationing in Mexico City actually made no political achievements. Before Alva’s powerful army stationed here left, it would not be beneficial to the Eastern Military Government to manage Mexico well. The eyes and ears of Mexico City.

His greatest contribution was to further enhance Chen Mu's status. Since he arrived in Mexico City, Chen Mu has not been able to get in touch with any cat or dog directly. The butler's review will give him the opportunity to enter Changsheng to meet the little butler Zhao Shizhen.

Unfortunately, the Portuguese envoys did not pass through, so it was not the Portuguese who arrived at Changsheng, but only a few pieces of paper.

It was piled up with the many pieces of paper sent to the military office from all over the New World, and placed on Chen Mu's desk.

Before the Portuguese was a letter sent by Shao Tingda from Chile, which stated that their northern border had been negotiated with the Spaniards, but the southern border was difficult to negotiate because a large number of aboriginal warriors lived on the southern border where Chen Mu and the Spaniards were bound .

Shao Tingda called them 'my old family'. They also have another name called Mapuche, which is the aborigines that the Spaniards failed to conquer.

Because they had a great war leader, Lautaro.

30 years ago, the Spaniards had a so-called 'Conquistador of Chile' named Valdivia, who founded Santiago de Chile, and later died.

Died at the hands of Lautaro, this young aboriginal man was captured by Valdivia, and later fled back, taught his troops to ride horses and use muskets, armed his troops with Spanish weapons, and raided Spanish camps again and again , proving that the Spaniards are not invincible.

Until a big victory, Valdivia, the leader of the colonists, was captured. Lautaro said: "You want to get gold here, and now I will give you everything you can use."

The cause of Valdivia's death was having hot golden water poured down his throat.

Lautaro died in the later war, but his spirit and the technique of fighting on horseback and using muskets were passed down among the Mapuche people. The Spaniards have never been able to conquer them. South of the Bío Bío River, there is no Spanish People can go there.

After reading Shao Tingda's letter, Chen Mu patted his head and shouted, "No experience, no experience!"

He didn't investigate clearly before agreeing on the boundary!

Southern Chile is not the territory of the Spaniards at all!
So what is he going to do with all the trouble talking to the Spaniards about the south?
The map given to him by the Spaniards is also bullshit. A large part of the south of Peru is connected together, making it seem that the Spaniards can cover it here.

However, Chen Mu doesn't think it's a bad thing to have the Mapuche people at the southernmost point. They live in a land suitable for living and farming, and they are not in the guano desert. It does not affect Shao Tingda's sending people to explore the saltpeter mine. , they can sign a treaty of friendship and then do business.

Another letter would be interesting.

It was two envoys of the Governor of Brazil who sought help from the Eastern Army.

Chen Mu is not the only one who can't do intelligence well in this world.

The Governor of Brazil first sent an envoy to express "solemn representations" to Yang Tingxiang, accusing the "Ming Fleet" of blocking the Portuguese from bypassing Africa to India, and blaming the "Ming Fleet" for attacking Portuguese merchant ships in West Africa.

He also expressed his threats inside and outside the words, and talked about the story of the Portuguese destroying Antarctic France in the past.

I don't know if the Governor of Brazil didn't know something before or he suddenly knew something after sending the No. 1 envoy. In short, within a few days, he sent the No. 2 envoy again.

The No.2 envoy's head is much easier to use. It is sending gifts and managing up and down. It doesn't mention the Ming army fleet destroying merchant ships before. It wants to express to Yang Tingxiang the Governor of Brazil The sadness of the king's death in Morocco and the uncertainty of Portugal's future.

What is there to be anxious about?
Couldn't Lao Er Fei protect you?
When Yang Tingxiang sent this letter, Chen Mu thought that his wish had come true.

"Why are you so happy, Commander?"

Zhao Shizhen came back from the shooting range outside the city with a pile of artillery parameters. As soon as he entered the yamen, he heard Chen Mu upstairs screaming, and when he came up, he found Chen Mu laughing silly.

Putting down the recorded artillery data, Zhao Shizhen took cotton out of his ears like Monkey King and put it on the table, muttering to himself while picking out his ears: "It's hard for the students to test the artillery, and now my mind is full of echoes."

Chen Mu looked at the two small cotton balls with leather covers thrown on the table by Zhao Shizhen, and blamed him: "Hey, you guys, just use the earplugs of other artillery, why do you take them back after you use them up?"

"Hurry up and get your soldiers to send them back. There are a lot of these things." After finishing speaking, Chen Mu shook his hand and wrote: "Tingda wrote that Chile started looking for nitrate mines, and Yang Junzan, the Portuguese came to him gone."

"Didn't I just say that I wanted to find Lin Feng a while ago, and my wish came true. The Portuguese helped me find it, and they did a lot of good things for them."

Chen Mu said and counted for Zhao Shizhen with his fingers: "In just a few years, Lin Feng helped the Kingdom of Portugal clean up the scumbags who did bad things all over the world, demolished their cars, and set up checkpoints for their country to prohibit those who look down on people with their eyes. The people and their good deeds such as indigenous trade, which are not even considered human beings in their eyes."

"Its sphere of influence is all over the ocean, and they can be seen from Morocco to the south. According to the Portuguese, as long as you want to buy black slaves, Lin Feng is everywhere, but..."

Zhao Shizhen listened attentively, nodding while listening. Although he didn't think Lin Feng was a good person and looked down on his piracy, he did these things in the eyes of the mechanics unit. After all, compared with pirates, he did all kinds of evil. Colonists are clearly worse.

Pirates only kill people and rob money, and the colonists also do this, but they kill people and rob money, and in the end they have to enslave the survivors. When they die, they have to decide where their souls go.

Hearing Chen Mu say 'but', Zhao Shizhen shook his bewildered head and asked, "But what?"

"However, what others mentioned was not Lin Feng, but the Han Kingdom. Lin Feng actually founded the country."

"Didn't the commander-in-chief always support the sea giants to go to sea to open up territories for the court, and he himself also broke the ground to become the king, why is he unwilling now?"

"There is no reluctance." Chen Mu took a deep breath and let it out quickly, quite a bit hard to let go, and said: "I won't send someone here to let me know after Jianguo, because I don't treat me as a friend!"

　Good morning!
