Buried Alive in the Main Volume of the Qing Dynasty Chapter 873: Take refuge with the devil and encircle and suppress hell! Since the negotiation in the Maria Elizabeth Colony was a "win-win" negotiation, both parties lost!

First of all, the merchants got the "right to draw the map" of the entire Texas except the Maria Elizabeth Colony. Now they can only draw the map. If they want to actually occupy it, they will have to work hard to have babies for many years, otherwise no one will occupy it.

!

The Spanish Empire only "corrected" the wrong map. Anyway, they never actually controlled Texas... Who made the Indians in Texas mostly nomadic nomads who spread smallpox?

The effect is not very good. It is too expensive for the Spaniards to actually control it. Just draw a map and enjoy it. If you change the map now, it will be regarded as the wrong drawing before. So this is definitely not a cession of territory!

Secondly, the merchant also received a "ransom" equivalent to three million silver dollars. Although it was one million less than what Li Guangzu asked for, Li Guangzu was already a lion, and he was very satisfied with getting three million.

.....After all, the Shang Yin family's national population is only over 200,000 plus one yuan, and its annual income is less than one million. The Spanish Empire did not pay any compensation, but only provided compensation to all those who retreated.

The officers and soldiers who went to the area controlled by the Yin Jiahan Department were given a "special bonus" and asked to use this "bonus" to pay for the "meal expenses" in the Yin Jiahan Department - the food provided by the Yin Jiahan Department was still very good.

, there is plenty of fish and meat every day, open to the public, is it not too much to give two hundred silver dollars for "food expenses"?

Once again, the "marriage" that Li Guangzu had never thought of is now available! Cardinal de la Malaga has already promised with confidence that this Maria Elizabeth will be beautiful and graceful! When the time comes, the Spanish Emperor will send people to Europe for beauty pageants.

, choose a "Mary Elizabeth" as beautiful as Daji from the ladies or illegitimate daughters of noble families... The Shang King is guaranteed to be satisfied! If you are really not satisfied, you can change it until you are satisfied.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Guangzu to refuse such a good offer. If he refused, Zhu Yimei would have to wear small shoes for him after he left the country - that prince was a bit lustful!

For the Spanish Empire, it was no big deal to select a beautiful woman with aristocratic blood from Europe, and then give her the title of Duchess of Elizabeth Island and give it to the King of the Shang Dynasty as his wife. And this was for the sake of missionary—the marriage was for the sake of missionary work.

The thing is very noble. For example, in history, the little Queen Jadwiga of Poland married Lithuanian Grand Duke Jagiełło when she was thirteen years old in order to spread the faith of God, and also facilitated the establishment of the United States of Poland and Lithuania.

was born. As a result, Jagiełło gave up paganism, led the entire Lithuania to join the Catholic family, and became the "King of Poland". This is a win-win situation!

The Maria Elisabeth Castle peace talks, a negotiation that made both sides lose money, certainly went extremely smoothly. After three days of talks, they basically reached an agreement. The reason why there was a basic agreement was because both parties had to seek approval from their superiors.

, and also have to deal with some details - such as how many Spanish imperial officers and soldiers successfully retreated to the territory of the Yin family's Khan? One is two hundred silver dollars of "meal money", can't you count it carefully?

In addition, both sides are actually in no hurry - the two sides were so "too unanimous" during the peace talks that they even wanted to delay time. Leopold wanted to delay organizing a new army and recruiting people from Germany.

To the Grand Duchy of the Caribbean.

The Shang side also wanted to delay time. Because of the restoration of the Aztec Kingdom, the Shang side obtained a large number of Andalusian horses and Merino sheep, so they no longer imported livestock from the Ming Dynasty. They were originally used for transportation

The transport capacity of livestock can be used to transport people. Coupled with the increase in the number of sailing ships in the Pacific, the number of immigrants entering the New World every year has more than doubled than in the past. Last year, the number of imported people exceeded 20,000 for the first time!

The Yin family's atrocities in the Rocky Mountains and Texas grasslands also obtained a large number of indigenous women... Therefore, a large number of Yin and Indian mixed blood were born in the past two years, and the population increased at an extremely rapid rate.

If we can delay it for more than ten years, until the second generation of Shang and the second generation of Yin have grown up, the Shang Fang Kingdom and the Yin Family Khan tribe will really become stronger!

Therefore, delaying time is also the goal of Shang Fang.

So this time the peace talks are about everyone getting what they need and everyone being happy... Of course, not everyone is happy with the win-win situation. There are still people who are not so happy! For example, the big man carrying the Catholic holy relics

Cardinal Philip, who went to the battlefield with the Golden Spear, was not happy. At least when he saw the envoys from the Spanish Empire who came to the Yin family camp in Hewan, he was quite anxious.

To be honest, he was not sure about asking the Holy See to pay 1 million to redeem his Holy Spear...but after all, he still had some expectations. After all, he was a very senior cardinal.

!

So after Li Guangzu said that he could be redeemed, he never mentioned going to the Ming Dynasty to seek refuge with the devil. Instead, he chanted sutras and prayed every day, asking God for forgiveness... and finally decided whether he would go to heaven or hell.

The time has come!

"Your Highness Cardinal, I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

In a very sturdy "wooden fence room" surrounded by people who could see what was going on inside, Andre, who had followed the Spanish mission, was standing respectfully with half of his face still holding gauze, and the other half of his face was frighteningly white.

The cardinal stood before him, stammering good news and bad news.

He originally didn't want to take this trip, but he couldn't stand Cardinal de la Malaga and forced him to come and report the news to Philip. He couldn't afford to offend the Archbishop of Mexico City, so he had to bite the bullet and come.

"Bad news!" Cardinal Philip's voice was a little hoarse. Looking at Andre, who was a little trembling in front of him, he knew something was wrong, so he asked for the bad news first.

"Your Highness Cardinal," Andre said, "The Archbishop of Mexico City has just received an urgent notification from the Holy See... The Holy Spear you brought to America is actually a fake Holy Spear."

"I understand." Philip breathed a sigh of relief, his tone was very calm, and he was a little expectant, "Then what's the good news?"

The news about the fake holy spear can be taken for granted. Otherwise, how can we explain the ineffectiveness of the holy spear? Moreover, this is not the first time that the Catholic Church has encountered an ineffective holy object... According to the usual practice, when it encounters a holy object that is not effective,

When something doesn't work, you either think that the holy thing is a fake holy thing, or you think that the person who uses the holy thing has a devil in his heart.

Now that the Holy See has determined that the Holy Spear is fake, Bishop Philip is still a good bishop.

"The good news is... you will be canonized soon!" Andre said hesitantly.

"What?" Philip was stunned.

"Mexico City and Rome will prepare grand funerals for you, and there will be a St. Philip Cathedral on the island of Cuba. Your soul will ascend to heaven and stay with the Father forever... I

You think this is a good thing?"

Isn't it a good thing to have a grand burial and have your soul ascend to heaven? Isn't it a good thing to have served God for so many years just so that one day your soul can ascend to heaven?

But the problem is that Philip doesn't seem to be dead...if he's not dead, then his soul is still needed, and he can't let his soul ascend to heaven.

what should I do?

"What?" Archbishop Philip stood up suddenly and yelled, "I'm not dead yet. Only dead people can be canonized. I'm not dead yet! How can I be canonized?"

"No... Your Highness, Bishop, are you dead?" Andre looked at Archbishop Philip and said seriously, "You are really dead! The Duke of Lorraine and Archbishop de la Malaga both said that you were dead.

Yes! And His Majesty the Emperor also thinks you are dead. That’s why they will prepare a funeral for you and ask the Holy See to make you a saint. I think in a short time, His Majesty the Pope will also think you are dead. And the Pope will never

wrong……"

"What? The Emperor also thinks I'm dead?" As soon as Philip heard that this was His Majesty's intention, he felt as if he had received a huge blow. He could no longer stand and sat back on the chair.

"Yes, Your Highness the Bishop." Andre nodded and said, "Archbishop de la Malaga said that someone must be responsible for failure... His Majesty the Emperor also means the same!"

Now Archbishop Philip knew that he was completely hopeless. No one would redeem him, and he could not really go to heaven to become a saint. This matter was not just a matter of a seal from the Vatican, it had to be approved by God. But before he

I have already said that I will take refuge in the devil, and now I will not be able to go to heaven even if I die.

Since he can't go to heaven anyway, and he can't go back to Europe, there is only one way out before him... surrender to the devil! Although he didn't stay in the New World for too long, as a member of the Inquisition

The Chancellor, he has always focused on collecting intelligence, and his Inquisition also has many spies. Therefore, he has the inside information about the Spanish Empire, the Frankish Empire, the Holy See, the Kingdom of England, the Federal Republic of the Netherlands, and the intricate affairs of Europe.

Diplomacy, that’s quite understandable!

The devil of Ming Dynasty will definitely welcome him very much!

When he thought that he would surrender to the devil and go to hell from now on, Archbishop Philip, who had served God for most of his life, couldn't help but burst into tears.

...

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we finally reached a temporary and fair truce agreement with the Shang Fang Kingdom and the Yin Family Khan Tribe without agreeing to unequal conditions such as ceding territory, compensation, and marriage. Moreover, we have reached a temporary and fair truce agreement with the Aztecs.

The war is not within the scope of the armistice... Now we can finally concentrate our forces to encircle and suppress the Aztecs!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, we will soon be able to redeem the fifteen thousand people captured in the Battle of the River Bend... With these troops, plus those recruited and trained in recent months,

Army, we can gather at least 150,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Aztecs!"

In the Grand Palace in Mexico City, the Duke of Lorraine and the Archbishop of de la Malaga both looked like they had taken advantage of the situation and were trying to avoid the most serious problems and pouring ecstasy to King Leopold I!

Leopold I, on the other hand, was frowning as he read the draft text of the armistice agreement... At first glance, it seemed that the Spanish Empire had not suffered a loss. The land was not cut, the money was not compensated, and the princess was not given away.

Get married. But if you look closely, it seems that you have not given less than what you should give, but you just put it in a flattering way to make yourself look fat.

The Spanish Emperor was a little dissatisfied and wanted to veto the agreement. At this time, the "Spanish Queen" Therese spoke: "Your Majesty, according to this agreement, you have not reached any deal with the devil's country of Shang.

...You only removed Texas from the map of the empire, and did not cede it to the merchants. You just gave a bonus to the officers and soldiers who retreated to the land controlled by the devil believers, so that they could pay for expensive meals.

fee.

As for the Countess Maria Elizabeth who is still unknown...she does not belong to you, and you cannot make a deal with the devil's believers with her.

With such a perfect armistice agreement, what else are you dissatisfied with? Have you forgotten that the Aztec army has developed rapidly during this period and has already approached Leon?"

Leon's full name is Leon de los Adamas. It is an important town in central Mexico. It is located on the fertile plain of the Turvio River. It is less than 75 Spanish miles away from Mexico City. It is not wrong to say that it is the gateway to Mexico City.

Pass.

The land around Leon is fertile, agriculture is developed, and there are several gold and silver mines with average output. The surrounding handicraft industry is also very developed, and the population is certainly large. This is definitely a good place to establish a base!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Leon is occupied by King Montezuma, then the "Hell of King Montezuma" will be placed at the gate of Mexico City. Leo

Can Emperor Pod still sleep in peace?

Queen Therese said solemnly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we must destroy Montezuma's kingdom of hell near Leon!

Otherwise, once they gain a foothold in Leon, Mexico City may be surrounded by them!

Do you want Mexico City to become a second Vienna?"

As soon as he heard about the second Vienna, the Spanish emperor's pale face instantly turned red.

He has already been a runaway emperor once, and he absolutely cannot wait for a second time!

Moreover, the recent development momentum of King Montezuma, a disciple of the devil, is also very good.

Although Leopold ordered the news to be blocked, the news of the defeat of the Texas Bayou and the seizure of the Holy Spear by the devil still spread everywhere! This also caused the morale of the troops on the Mexican battlefield to be shaken, so King Montezuma became more and more successful.

.

And this King Montezuma did not go to fight elsewhere, so he came to Mexico City with all his strength. It seemed that he wanted to coerce a large number of people to come in waves!

Leopold nodded: "Yes, we must wipe out Montezuma's army near the city of Leon! Duke of Lorraine, I order you to be fully responsible for the Battle of Leon!"

"As you command, my majesty." The Duke of Lorraine nodded heavily.

Leopold then said to Archbishop de la Malaga: "Your Majesty the Cardinal, I approve this armistice agreement... In addition, I also agree to hold a war in the Ming Empire between the Ming Dynasty, Spain, and France.

, a peace conference attended by England, Portugal, merchants, the Holy See, the Netherlands and other parties. Bishop, this peace conference will be left to you and the Marquis of Mendoza. I hope you can start the conference slowly and talk for three years.

It doesn’t matter if it’s five years!”

"As you command, my lord!"
