July 18, 1689, Xinchaoge City.

A triumphal presentation of prisoners is underway!

Now more than two months have passed since the Battle of Xin Maling Road. The victorious Shang army finally returned to Xin Chaoge City, where the anger was still lingering, with less than 4,000 Spanish prisoners of war.

It turned out that after the Battle of Xin Malingdao, Zhou Peigong did not immediately lead the captured Spaniards back to Xin Chaoge, but led them to build a Haiyuan City facing the Pacific Ocean on the sea grassland according to the mountains as a merchant.

The country has a large stronghold in this sea grassland area.

At the same time, Zhou Peigong also sent the knights of the Yin family to search for Indian tribes hit by the smallpox epidemic in the area north of the Hongshui River. He gathered those who survived and resettled them in the valleys around Haiyuan City, and also dealt with those who might be involved.

Clothes and utensils contaminated with smallpox.

When everything was settled, it was already late June in the Western calendar, and Zhou Peigong left the Qianhu led by Danjin Emu to guard Haiyuan City. He led thousands of Yin Shang soldiers who had returned in triumph, and escorted them who had not yet died of exhaustion.

Perhaps the Spaniards who had not yet been executed returned to Xinchaoge City.

At this time, the smallpox epidemic around Xinchaoge City has basically ended... Although this smallpox epidemic came very suddenly and started rapidly, the epidemic prevention capabilities of the "Yin Shang God Clan" far exceeded that of the Spaniards.

imagination.

Because all the Yin and Shang people in Xin Chaoge were vaccinated against the pox and were almost completely immune, the smallpox pandemic did not damage Xin Chaoge's foundation, and the entire system could still operate efficiently.

Moreover, there is a branch of the Ming Dynasty Public Hospital in Xin Chaoge City, and the doctors there all know how to deal with infectious diseases - because Zhu Heji was experiencing a "big epidemic" before traveling through time, and various epidemic diseases were also caused by the recovery of the Ming Dynasty population.

was the biggest obstacle, so Zhu Heji attached great importance to public health after taking power. In the public medical school he opened, there was a special epidemic prevention course, which was still a required course.

Therefore, the General Office of the New Chaoge can make epidemic prevention decisions at the first moment, such as blocking traffic, isolating sick patients, burning clothes and utensils related to the epidemic, and setting up temporary shelters to accommodate savages who are confirmed not to be infected. Subsequently, the New Chaoge

Ge's public hospital also urgently vaccinated the savage leaders who were not infected with variola to prevent them from dying of the disease and causing the savages to lose control.

At the same time, the Confucian branch of Xinchaoge City immediately sent Confucian scholars to tell the rescued savages the truth about the Spanish poisoning!

After a series of operations, although 20,000 savages within the jurisdiction of the Yin and Shang Kingdom still died of the disease, the epidemic was finally completely eliminated, and the remaining savages became more convinced of the Yin and Shang people. Some of them lived in relatively remote areas and were not there.

The Indian tribes under the control of the New Chaoge Grand Commandery were also incorporated into the Yin and Shang national system after receiving assistance from the Yin and Shang nationalities.

Due to the participation of this group of people, the population under the jurisdiction of the New Chaoge Grand Administrative Office not only did not decrease significantly compared with before the smallpox epidemic, but even increased slightly.

It's just that the additional savages are all new, and have not yet mastered farming techniques, nor do they know how to fish in Fugui Bay... From a production perspective, Shang Fang's losses in this battle are still substantial.

small!

In addition, because Xinchaoge's food supply relies heavily on the fishing industry in Fugui Bay and the hunting of passenger pigeons and bison, the people responsible for these fishing and hunting tasks are all Indians who have been "civilized" into savages in the Fugui Bay area. So here,

After the smallpox epidemic, there were also some problems with the supply of Xinchaoge. Instead of opening up food and drink, it was changed to a rationing system.

A large number of young men from the Yin Shang Dynasty who were busy mining for gold and herding cattle were recruited into the army. Women and children of the nationality who basically did not participate in production before the smallpox epidemic had to join in production. In short, life became difficult for everyone.

.

Therefore, when the tortured and bruised Earl of St. Chris was loaded into a prison car and arrived at Xinchaoge City with less than 3,000 similarly tortured Spanish prisoners, they were greeted by people all over the street.

Angry countrymen and savages.

"It's so hateful, you actually use pimples to harm people!"

"They should all be killed!"

"Use cannon to burn, use Lingchi's punishment to kill!"

"You have to disembowel your body and dig out your heart!"

"Yes, dig out their evil hearts!"

"After killing them, we will capture the Spanish chief, and also capture Xin Chaoge and roast them, and dig out their hearts..."

"Yes, go to Spain and capture their chief!"

When the Yin merchants all over the street saw the prisoners who were tied up in strings with ropes, or who were pretended to be tortured and dragged in prison cars, they burst into their greatest anger.

it is necessary!

They are very cruel and barbaric Yin merchants who like to kill captives and perform human sacrifices! When they left China and crossed the sea to come to America, Sakyamuni was not there yet, so they did not know anything about Buddhism with a Bodhisattva heart. Moreover, they

Do you also know what smallpox is? If they hadn't all been vaccinated, this smallpox epidemic would not have killed half of the people?

What's even more hateful is that after these Spanish barbarians released the poison, they sent more than 10,000 troops on boats to sneak attack on the Shang side... This is the rhythm of taking advantage of your illness to kill you. This is to drive out all the people of the Shang side.

the meaning of!

How can such an enemy be spared? They must all be burned to relieve their hatred!

Count St. Chris, who had lost an arm, two thighs and a "calf", was sitting in a prison car, looking at the people on the street, and at the face of Merchant Yin among them, who had never been exposed to smallpox.

The Earl of Lys fell into complete despair.

He has now completely believed the words "The Yin and Shang protoss are not afraid of the plague". Because for more than two months, he has been detained in Zhou Peigong's army. In addition to being tortured every day, he just looked at a group of healthy people who were simply blasphemous.

The Shenyin merchant was busy rescuing and resettling Indians from the affected areas... As far as he knew, among the Spanish captives who were forced to participate in the rescue, many who had never had smallpox were infected!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But none of those Yin merchants were fooled!

This shows that the Yin and Shang people are indeed immune to smallpox! And this immunity is not obtained through some mysterious medicine, otherwise they would definitely give medicine to the Indian savages... When the Yin and Shang people helped the savages

They tried their best, and the Indians also respected the Yin and Shang people, and the relationship between the two parties was much more harmonious than that between the Spaniards and the Indians.

If the Yin and Shang people had medicine in their hands, they would definitely give it to the Indians.

If there was no medicine, then the Yin Shang people must have obtained the magic power to fight smallpox by making a deal with the devil... These Yin merchants are all slaves of the devil!

Thinking of this, Count St. Chris suddenly raised his head and saw a large square suddenly appeared in front of him. In the center of the square, there was also a high platform like an altar! Is this a murderous sacrifice to the devil? The person they want to kill is.

...

Just when he thought of this, the general from the Ming Dynasty who was walking beside the prison car suddenly said to Count St. Chris: "Bazin... your death has arrived! Have you seen that high platform? That's called execution."

"Taiwan, if you don't want to drink poison and commit suicide, then you can be stabbed and burned on the platform, which will hurt for three days! If you drink poison, you will die in a short while without any pain. How wonderful!"

Okay? How can we be okay even if we are all dead?

And the soul has to go to hell!

Of course, Count St. Chris refused to agree. Seeing that he was speechless, the Ming Dynasty official next to him just smiled and continued: "Bazin, your religious membership cannot be preserved... Now the Yin Shang Dynasty has

The whole country is furious. The King of Shang Fang and Yin Jiahan have led the army south. They will arrive in New Chaoge soon, and then they will attack your New Spain. The heavenly soldiers have the power of magic and can kill the enemy with one shot from three to four hundred yards away.

, how can you new Spanish soldiers defeat you? When the Yin and Shang armies arrive in Mexico, do you think your emperor will take the responsibility for poisoning? If he puts all the blame on you, you will have to be expelled.

.....I’ll still go to hell then!”

The Earl of St. Chris cried when he heard this. Indeed, he had never asked the emperor or the pope for permission to release smallpox poison. How could he ask for permission from across the Atlantic Ocean?

And he never asked God for instructions!

Since he has never asked anyone for instructions, according to the official rules prevailing at home and abroad, if the errand fails, he will have to bear the responsibility alone!

This hell... must go!

...

The anchor chain of the Spanish Kingdom's sailing battleship San Juan is clattering towards the bottom of the sea.

Emperor Leopold I of the Spanish Empire was taking his son Joseph, brother-in-law Charles V, Grand Duke of Lorraine, chief minister the Marquis of Mendoza, and other entourages, looking expectantly at the new world in front of him.

Havana in this era was the second city in the Americas after Mexico City. It was also the industrial and commercial center of the Caribbean, the shipbuilding center of the Americas, the production center of sugar and rum, the production center of tobacco, and the gold and silver produced in the New World.

A transit station for shipment to Spain... In short, Havana is such a desirable and wealthy city now.

In comparison, the twelve states in North America that were being sanctioned by the Ming Dynasty for inexplicable reasons were barren lands.

The Spanish emperor, who had been bumping around in the North Atlantic for more than a month, finally showed a happy expression when he looked at the completely European-style Havana in front of him, with a building that was even as luxurious as Vienna.

Although he lost Austria, the Czech Republic, and some scattered lands in Germany and Hungary, he gained New Spain and Peru, two huge and excitingly rich lands.

The Havana in front of us and Cuba, which is ruled by the Governor General of Havana, are larger than the territory of the Archduke of Austria... and even richer!

Cuban brown sugar, tobacco and rum are sold well in Europe, and brown sugar is also an important raw material for the production of sugar gunpowder!

"Joseph!" Leopold I suddenly called his son's name.

"Father, you called me."

"Joseph, what do you think of Havana? How about here in Cuba? Can it compare to Vienna and Austria?"

"Here...is there also the Hofburg Palace here?"

Joseph misses his own big house a little bit...

Leopold couldn't answer, so he turned to look at the Marquis of Mendoza.

"It can be built. We can build another one like the Hofburg Palace," Mendoza said. "We can invite the best architects and craftsmen in Europe to build it."

"It will cost a lot of money, right? Do you have that much money?"

The Marquis of Mendoza laughed: "Your Majesty, the specialty of New Spain and Peru is money!"

There is plenty of money!

New Spain and Peru produce money!

Gold, silver, brass...the New World has it all!

Money, for New Spain and Peru, can be found just by digging around.
