What's even more exaggerated is that as the world's "money digging machine", New Spain and Peru have always had a large trade surplus! Here they produce tobacco, carmine, brown sugar, rum, and also import white silk weaving and dyeing from the Ming Dynasty.

Then sell them to Europe at a high price.

If it weren't for the Kingdom of Spain, its nobles, and the Holy See, which have been sucking the blood of New Spain and Peru... what happened to the United States in history?

Now, such a good place belongs to Leopold. Although he still has to give blood to the Kingdom of Spain, he can finally leave a little more for the New World, and he will also use the money to engage in construction, education, etc.

Some German immigrants will be introduced for development... In this new Spain (including Peru), it is difficult to even think about taking off!

Just when I was thinking about something good, I heard the sound of rapid footsteps, and then I saw a desperate cardinal approaching. He was not paying attention and almost bumped into Leopold I.

What is going on with this cardinal? The emperor is still surprised, why is it so disrespectful?

"Archbishop Desumarraga, what's wrong with you?"

The Marquis of Mendoza's surprised voice immediately rang out.

"Marquis," Archbishop de Zumarraga said with tears, "we defeated... The 7,500-strong army led by the Count of St. Crist met the devil in California! Except for less than 300 people

After escaping back, everyone else was gone, they were all wiped out, and Count St. Chris was also dead!"

"What? What did you say? You, who were you defeated by?" The Spanish emperor was shocked. He had just arrived. The Taiping Emperor had not officially started to be emperor, so why did he encounter the annihilation of the entire army and the death of the deputy king of New Spain?

Really? Moreover, an army of 7,500 was a lot in Europe. How come it was completely wiped out in the New World?

Archbishop Desumarraga trembled and said: "We were defeated by the devil. The army led by the Count of St. Chris was defeated by the devil... The news from Mexico City has just been sent that they were defeated by the devil in the northwest of North America.

The country was defeated with despicable means! Except for a dozen people whose ears and noses were cut off and put back, everyone else died and were killed! It was really terrible!"

Leopold I was confused. What was going on? When he didn't come to the New World, the New World was peaceful with singing and dancing, and everything was fine. Why did the New World have demons when he came? Are these demons following him, the emperor?
