Chapter 518 Phoenix

A seemingly large-scale rebellion took only two days from its outbreak to its pacification. Under the attack of armored vehicles and cavalry, nearly 3,000 rebels resisted for less than three hours and surrendered at the cost of more than half of the casualties.

The next morning, Hordan, the leader of the rebels, was escorted to Yingtian.

In the former presidential palace, Zhu Xianhai met him - he was still wearing an Argentine military uniform, with a haggard face, his eyes were full of questions. When he saw Zhu Xianhai, his instinctive reaction was.

"Why? Why did you destroy the entire city!"

For Halldan, who has lived there since childhood, witnessed with his own eyes how everything was destroyed in the bombing, and he saw how men and women died in the bombing.

"Or obey or die!"

Zhu Xianhai sneered.

"You have chosen the dead end and take them with you! Well, even though you are a rebel, you will be subject to a fair trial."

"Judgement? What kind of judgment is fair to the conquered?"

Halldan seemed to know what his fate would be, and he couldn't help but mocked.

"You, as conquerors, will surely take all this from us. Now you have tasted it as you wish. Is it time to end our lives? This is the fate of the conquered ones!"

"You know very well that this is fate!"

Zhu Xianhai said,

"When you came to this land, who belonged to the land? They were Indians. You just thought you were the masters of this land. Qin Shiqilu chased them all over the world. Halldan, do you really think that everything you stolen is eternal? Yes, you snatched everything here from the Indians. You thought all this belonged to you! But now the times have changed, and white people are no longer everything!"

When Holdan was taken down, Zhu Xianhai walked to the window silently. He knew clearly that he had changed everything here with his own hands. After this purge, more than 1,400 land oligarchs in Argentina were from the source. Those land oligarchs were the most important group in the Argentine elite. The core circle was composed of about 400 families. They formed a close alliance through social clubs and corporate associations. They not only control more than half of the land, but also control state power. What about now?

All of this will be destroyed!

But unexpectedly, Zhu Xianhai was not as excited as he imagined. Because he thought of himself and the future of the new Ming Empire, the future empire was always a sword hanging above his head. This sword had internal - 2.4 million Spanish-speaking residents, which was the biggest internal trouble of the empire. This internal trouble could not be changed for at least the next 10 years. Externally, Britain was the biggest threat to the empire, because the expansion of the empire had a direct conflict with the interests of Britain, and it was advantageous to form a strategic alliance with France, because France's energy was on the European continent, at most, North Africa, and its interest in South America and the Pacific was very limited.

However, France’s performance in cheating teammates in history makes people dare not trust them at all. More importantly, France is prone to being cowardly!

Raising the white flag is the tradition of France!

"If the French are cowardly, wouldn't I have to face the pressure from Britain alone?"

Zhu Xianhai hesitated that he could not determine whether France, as an ally, was reliable, and could not guarantee that they would draw their swords to help the empire, nor could they guarantee that they would be cowardly faster.

"Take one step at a time! The future...let it be left to the future!"

One month later, after a long trial, in the face of a large amount of evidence, more than 1,500 members of the "Argentine Restoration Committee" involved in the rebellion were sentenced, although by law, more than half of them were sentenced to death.

But the emperor was kind. Except for the rebels like Halldan who were executed, everyone else was pardoned and replaced by exile. They were exiled to Africa to contribute to the empire's rainforest colonization cause.

Even so kindness was still criticized by the outside world. In the church, some priests gave speeches in the name of worship. Zhu Xianhai pretended not to mind, and he kept a kind smile.

But late at night a few days later, someone arrested the people who took the lead and sent them to the newly built "little black room" prison. Why not send these priests to Africa... where they would transform into missionaries.

From then on, "people who disappeared at night" became a topic that Yingtianren talked about.

A series of iron fists brought fear and stability, as well as a chaotic situation was destroyed, a large amount of land was confiscated, and a land reform was implemented, and there was also a major event in an orderly manner.

Of course, it is to issue currencies. In fact, Nanhua had issued currencies as early as the beginning of the establishment of Nanhua. From the minting of silver pesos to the silver dollar coupons of America Bank, and even HSBC, which is specially produced in China, issued silver dollar coupons in China. In this year, any bank with a slightly larger scale would issue bank coupons, that is, silver dollar coupons. It is the kind that can be exchanged for gold and silver coins, which is almost equivalent to silver bills.

Take Midi as an example. Until before the Civil War, all the banknotes were issued by... private banks. That is, the government only printed 400 million knives after the Civil War.

However, we are not Midi, and the country must have the right to mint coins. Almost while occupying Buenos Aire, the plan to issue new coins was mentioned on the agenda. In the past year, through the exchange of gold and silver coins, the Nanhua coupons, which are also bank coupons, have replaced gold and silver coins in the market. As for Argentina's banks to issue pesos bank coupons, because those banks deposited in central bank reserves were "robbed" by the Argentine government in exile, the bank went bankrupt and became a piece of paper. I don't know how many ordinary people lost their money because of this.

However, despite this, it still did not stop the pace of currency unification - after all, the market only accepts Nanhua coupons. While the currency in the market is slowly unifying, the "National Currency Plan" aims to directly grasp the right to issue currency issuance is also being implemented at an accelerated pace. When Zhu Xianhai was expeditioning to Europe, Nanhua's mint had already begun to manufacture gold and silver coin molds, but compared to gold and silver coins, the printing of paper money is more important. After all, banknotes are the most important trading currency in the market - because it is easy to carry.

In the past few months, Hu Xueyan, the president of the Central Bank, has been paying attention to the plate making and printing of the "Central Coupon". After the first batch of sample notes were printed, he ran over to ask His Majesty for credit.

At the moment the sample bill was unfolded, Zhu Xianhai was slightly stunned and stared at the bill.

"This...is the "Phoenix ashes as fire"!"
