Since setting off from the Port of Manila, the fleet led by Gan Hui has entered the Pacific Ocean through the San Bernardino Strait.

The endless Pacific Ocean makes people feel refreshed.

When encountering sea storms occasionally, Gan Hui can handle them easily.

Judging from all the signs, this route is very worth exploring, at least it is more exploratory than the route during Zheng He's voyage to the West.

Gan Hui doesn't like the unchanging sailing routes, and doesn't like to follow the routes of his predecessors completely, even if this predecessor is the very great Zheng He.

He wanted to make a name for himself in history.

His Majesty the Emperor and the Master of the State gave him this glorious task, so he naturally could not let the two of them down.

Gan Hui has been sailing in the Pacific Ocean for a month.

The blue sea water and the refreshing sea breeze allow him to always carry out his work in a good mood.

From time to time, he took out the monocular lens given by His Majesty and looked at the distant distance and was ecstatic.

That morning, Gan Hui had breakfast and came to the deck and raised his monocular lens to look in the distance.

It was originally just a routine matter, but who would have thought that this time he would actually discover the land?

"It's land, it's land!"

After wandering on the sea for a long time, Gan Hui almost got crazy about the excitement he found on the mainland.

After confirming that he was not wrong, he immediately turned around and entered the cabin.

Now he has to make sure that his position is not wrong.

When Gan Hui went out to sea this time, he kept carrying a map on his body.

This map was drawn by Zi himself. In addition to the lonely book left by Zheng He during his voyage to the West, there are also new parts added by His Majesty the Emperor.

Among them, the American continent is the focus of Gan Hui's exploration this time.

According to His Majesty the Emperor, if everything goes well, you can sail directly to the west coast of Mexico according to the originally planned channel after entering the Pacific Ocean.

Of course, Gan Hui didn't know what Mexico was, but these were not important.

As long as he can lead his troops to arrive steadily, it will be a great development for the Ming Dynasty's maritime industry.

Not to mention, according to His Majesty the Emperor, there are a large number of grain crops and vegetables suitable for introduction and cultivation in the Americas.

Although some of them have been introduced to the Ming Dynasty first, some of them have not.

Therefore, Gan Hui’s task this time is of great importance.

If it can be successful, it will be of great significance to the overall development of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor once stated that Mexico is under the actual control of the Spanish and is a Spanish colony.

At first, Gan Hui did not understand what the colony meant, so His Majesty the Emperor patiently explained to him that the colony meant foreign invasion and ruled the nations in the original area.

Gan Hui understood that the Spaniards were invaders, who controlled Mexico and the Caribbean and established a ruling foundation for hundreds of years.

In this case, it is naturally unwise to have conflicts with the Spaniards.

Not to mention that the number of troops is definitely not as large as that of the Spanish. Just for the purpose of this time, opening up the Maritime Silk Road is what His Majesty the Emperor wants to do the most. As long as he can talk, there is no need to start a war.

Of course, if the Spanish are stubborn, Gan Hui is not a vegetarian.

When they were in Manila, they beat the Spaniards all over the ground, so naturally they didn't mind doing it again.

Thousands of words are divided into one sentence. Those who offend the great power of tomorrow will be punished even if they are far away.

This is not only for His Majesty the Emperor, but also for countless people and the Ming Dynasty.

After confirming that he had not taken the wrong path, Gan Hui ordered to continue moving forward at full speed along this channel.

He can't wait to arrive in Mexico.

...

Since 1535, Spain has established the New Spain Governor's District in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, to manage Mexico and the Caribbean Islands.

The Governor's position in this area is highly powerful. Compared with the three Governor's boroughs in South America, the Governor's borough of New Spain even once ranked first.

The most important reason for this is that there are a large number of silver and gold mines in Mexico.

It can bring endless wealth to the Kingdom of Spain and play an extremely important role in the domination of the Kingdom of Spain throughout the world.

Therefore, the successive governors of New Spain were the most trusted people in the Spanish royal family, and the king's right-hand man.

The current governor of New Spain is named Jose Emilio. He is just forty this year, but has been in New Spain for seven years.

During these seven years, he continued to send gold and silver back to Spain and was appreciated by the Spanish king.

He knew very well that as long as he kept digging out silver and gold and sent it to Spain, his position as the governor would be able to sit safely.

Today, he was drinking morning tea in the Governor's Mansion as usual, and suddenly a confidant came to him and handed a letter to him.

Jose pulled the letter out of the envelope and read it very seriously.

The letter was sent from the valley of Banderas (Pu. Vallarta).

The Bandras Valley is located on the west coast of Mexico, along the Pacific coast.

When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, they were conquered by the beautiful scenery here and built a small town.

The Bandras Valley has a mild climate and is very livable.

Even Governor Jose takes a month a year to recuperate in Bandras Valley.

But the content of the letter did not make him feel as relaxed as the environment in Bandras Valley.

Because the letter clearly stated that a group of people who claimed to be the envoy of the Ming Dynasty arrived there and asked to meet with the Governor of New Spain.

Of course Jose had heard of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, a great empire in the far east was taken over by the Ming army not long ago in the Spanish colony in Manila.

When this news reached the Spanish mainland, it caused a stir. It is said that His Majesty the King was furious, and then all Spanish colonies also learned about the news.

Jose just knew about it, but at this time the Ming army arrived on the west coast of Mexico, which really didn't know how to deal with it.

The letter stated that five thousand soldiers came, but it was not a large number of people just looking at the number.

But what Jose couldn't figure out was whether the Ming army would have a backup plan, that is, these five thousand people were just vanguards, and the large army did not keep up.

If that were the case, Jose would not dare to act rashly.

If the fight really starts, with these 20,000 or 30,000 people from New Spain, he may not be confident that he can fight the Ming army.

In this case, dragging is the best choice.

As long as you drag it, you won’t make any mistakes. See if the Ming army has any moves before making a decision.

After deciding, Jose immediately ordered people to send a message to Bandras Valley (Pu. Vallarta), and ordered the garrison officials there to hold back the Ming army envoys as much as possible.

He needs time to lay out and arrange.

Jose realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, and whether he could become famous depends on today.
