There is a Western proverb that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

A few days later, the envoy sent by the Governor General of New Spain contacted Xinming and expressed goodwill, apologizing for the unpleasant friction between the two sides that occurred before. At the same time, he hoped that this state of hostility could be ended and peaceful coexistence between the two sides.

The news soon reached Pingyi City from the border between the two sides. After Pan Mengyuan received the news, he was quite surprised at the first time, but he soon understood the intention of coming to Spain.

Pan Mengyuan thought about this and felt that it would be no problem for Spain to properly ease the situation. Moreover, with the initial completion of the Ming Dynasty's expansion in the New World, the current important thing for the Xinming government is to operate within the business rather than continue to blindly explore.

After all, although Xinming's population is already quite large in terms of quantity, its size is far from saturated in terms of territory it occupies, and many of the occupied areas urgently need to be filled by immigrants.

Furthermore, towards the east or northeast is the territory of France and Britain. The former is strong, while the latter is nominally in cooperation with the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the moment, Xinming is not only going north but also south. As for the bitter and cold north, although there are abundant mining resources, many lands are not conducive to farming. If towards the south, it is where the Spanish New Spanish colony is located. In the past, it was suppressed by force and took revenge against Spain, and it was okay to have some benefits. However, it is impossible to start a war directly and annex the New Spanish colony in one fell swoop, with the current Ming Dynasty.

Compared with France and Britain, Spain is weaker, but this weakness is not absolute. As the former maritime overlord, Spain's military strength was once strong. Although it is not as good as before, the Spanish Kingdom still has certain strength in New Spain for so many years.

Not to mention completely defeating the pressure of New Spain in one breath, even Pan Mengyuan is not sure. And once he does this, it will be equivalent to completely breaking the current pattern of the entire New World. Whether it is France, or the United Kingdom, which is nominally standing with the Ming Dynasty, these two countries will never sit idly by and watch the Ming Dynasty annex New Spain directly.

Before, Xinming was aggressive, which was also targeted, and this was also the reason why France ignored it. But once Pan Mengyuan wanted to start a full war, the nature would be different, and Pan Mengyuan knew very well.

Therefore, with the end of the Battle of Luzon, Spain, which suffered a great loss, is now taking this posture again, and Pan Mengyuan also just reached out to take over the other party's olive branch to stop the military operations against New Spain.

War is just a means after all, and politics is the ultimate goal.

As an excellent politician, Count Julio also saw this clearly that he proposed to establish a good relationship with the Ming Empire.

After obtaining the consent of Pan Mengyuan, the envoys sent by the Governor General of New Spain finally crossed the border and officially entered the Xinming area.

It is said that it is an envoy, but it is actually a group of envoys. In addition to the guards who follow the entourage and the servants who are responsible for the daily life of the entourage, the envoys have two envoys, one is the chief envoy and the other is the deputy envoy.

The second-level chief executive of the New Spanish colony was Domingo, the so-called second-level chief executive, conceptually an important subordinate of the Governor's Office, and the acting governor is responsible for and manages an area, so it is also called the "provincial governor".

This is an administrative setting for the colonies by the Kingdom of Spain, just as Jose was the governor of the entire New Spanish colony before, and the current acting governor General Diaz was formerly Jose's deputy, and he could also be called the governor.

Domingo's mission to Xinming was an order issued by the Governor's Office. In addition, as a provincial governor, although he was not as powerful as the governor in terms of status, he was able to serve as an envoy in his identity to show the sincerity of the Governor's Office for the negotiations.

But in the mission, although Domingo was the righteous envoy, he was actually not the highest-ranking one, because the person who served as the deputy envoy was Earl Julio himself.

This was specially requested by Julio. This time he came to New Spain, he was not just responsible for conveying the king's orders. As a nobleman who wanted to prepare for the throne of the prime minister to move forward as his ultimate goal, he shouldered a great responsibility.

Especially when the Ming Dynasty rose in the East and Luzon was lost in such a short period of time, this incident not only caused an uproar in Spain, but also made a big news throughout Europe.

The East has always been the gold country that Europe yearns for. As early as the Roman era, silk was a luxury that the powerful and powerful pursued. The subsequent tea and porcelain made European nobles even more fascinated. After Marco Polo's travel notes, his yearning for the Eastern Empire was a world dreamed of by countless Europeans. It was precisely because of this reason that the Age of Discovery began.

With the loss of time and the rise of Europe after the Age of Discovery, although the Eastern Empire was still the country dreamed of by many Europeans, in the eyes of some high-level nobles, with the gradual decline of the Eastern Empire and the inability to make progress, the mysterious layer of veil that was originally hidden on it has gradually faded away, replaced by their greed and desire for Eastern wealth, without the initial awe.

This can actually be seen from the idea that Portugal even planned to send troops to capture the Ming Dynasty. In fact, this idea has been around for more than a hundred years, and many countries are constantly exploring it. Among them are Portugal, the Netherlands and Spain, which shined in the early stage of the Age of Discovery, and gradually Britain, France and other countries also joined in.

Originally, everything was as imaginative as the Western nobles, constantly trying, tempting, and eroding... If everything had not changed, after the South China Sea was divided, they would really attack the Eastern Empire. This was what they did in history, which led to the outbreak of the war that shocked the world in 1840.

But now, the Ming Dynasty suddenly rose, and the Qing Dynasty, who had previously ruled this empire, had been in name only. The emerging Ming Dynasty showed its strength and unprecedented expansionism to the world. This can be seen from both New Ming and Luzon that with the change of the situation in the Far East, the Spanish Kingdom, which had gradually declined from glory, unfortunately became the first unlucky person. Although the failure of the war made the Spanish Kingdom angry, it also brought fear and uneasiness.

Since Spain and the Ming Dynasty actually became warring countries after the Far East War, Count Julio went to the New World for these reasons. He attempted to open a communication channel with the Ming Dynasty in the New World, and at the same time, he investigated the situation of the Ming Dynasty at close range to judge the true strength of the Ming Dynasty as the basis for the future international decision-making of the Kingdom of Spain.
