Spain's power in the Americas is mainly distributed in two places, namely the New Spain Governor's District with Mexico City as the core and the Perui Governor's District with Lima City as the core.

The Governor General of Peru includes all South American regions except the Venezuela coast and Brazil, with the Governor General's Office in Lima.

The first governor was Brasco Nunes Bella. Because the natives in Peru were hostile to the Spaniards, and the actions of some explorers to fish out of the water, armed uprisings in this area have emerged one after another, resulting in

The new governor was soon dismissed for his unfavorable work.

Although several Peruvian governors were later replaced, the problem could not be solved simply by substitution. Instead, frequent changes to the governors made local governance more uncontrollable, resulting in the Peruvian governor's district being barely maintained.

The current governor is Mendoza. When he first took office, he only thought about making more money. Even if he was dismissed by the Spanish king next time, he could still live his second half of his life freely.

The same is true. The current Peruvian Governor's District seems very chaotic, and some areas are often attacked by local armed forces, resulting in the relatively scattered Spanish troops.

The city of Lima was built by the Spanish colonist Francisque Pizelo. It is close to the Rimak River. The city streets extend from northwest to southeast, forming parallel to the Rimak River.

Since the city has no lightning, thunder, no storm, no icy or snow all year round, and the annual rainfall is only 15 mm, it is called the "Rainless Capital" by later generations.

Early in the morning of this day, the sky seemed gray, and the drizzle fell with the haze, which seemed light and thin, and disappeared when it fell on the blue brick floor.

The Lima people walking on the road slowly realized something was wrong, reached out to one hand and felt a hint of coolness, and looked up at the rainy spectacle in front of them in surprise.

Boom...

While the people of Lima City were watching the rare rain scene, they were suddenly shocked. They first looked up at the sky to confirm whether it was thunder, and then turned their heads to look towards the west sea.

It was in this situation without warning that artillery fire came one after another from the sea. Obviously, it would not be a military exercise, but someone attacked the invincible Spanish fleet.

But what puzzled them was that the rebels never used naval battles in history, and it was even more impossible to defeat the invincible Spanish fleet. Why was it so reckless this time?

As time goes by, the sound of cannons not only did not disappear, but seemed closer to this place.

Lichengma City connects to the sea through the Rimake River, and the Governor's Palace, cathedral and many Spanish residences and shops are built here.

Many Spanish nobles, officers, merchants and monks live here, including many European merchants, but they all feel panic at this moment.

The war on the sea did not last long. When they thought that the Spanish fleet defeated the rebels, news of defeat quickly spread in the city.

"If you lose, most of our fleet hide in the sea of ​​fire!"

"It's not a rebel, it's the Ming army coming to take revenge!"

"It's too strong, not a certain level of battle at all. Governor Mendoza surrendered!"

...

Some officers and soldiers who fled from the sea seemed very panicked. Some were lingering in fear, but some were already busy running back home to clean up their places to escape.

The managers and nobles living here reacted the most quickly, and they immediately fled with their families and property, and too many of them had their own ships.

Faced with the threat of death, they had no idea of ​​resisting at all, and just wanted to return to Spain with their own property as soon as possible to continue to enjoy their happiness.

However, the rapid escape of the managers and nobles had a butterfly effect, and more and more people fled here, causing the city of Lima to be completely in chaos.

Since this is the second largest governor's district on the American continent, nearly 10,000 Spanish live here, plus local mercenaries, crew members, porters, female weavers and prostitutes, the total population has reached more than 100,000.

The city with a population of more than 100,000 is already very large. The management here was originally chaotic. Now the escape of managers makes the entire city even more chaotic.

Although many people also want to escape here, the ships at the pier are limited, and the food preparations are insufficient, so they cannot even take too many people away.

Every time this moment comes, the bad nature of human beings is exposed, and some Spaniards and indigenous people take the opportunity to rob and steal, or even kill and set fire.

Among the several houses in the city, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the houses were burning at this time.

At noon, the Invincible Fleet of Haibatian entered the port of Lima. At this time, there were no merchant ships at the port.

The Eastern Expedition Army was no longer limited to the Ming people. There were the Nanyang people and Koreans who had been absorbed in earlier, and this time they also brought Japanese people and Mongolians.

However, among the marine forces, they resolutely focused on the Western Expedition and Southern Expedition. They have proved their strong strength in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty and the Indochina Peninsula.

The same is true. In the fleet heading to the east, the court transferred a group of people from the imperial court from the Western Army and the Southern Army to become the land forces that went to America.

After getting off the boat, they held flintlock rifles and quickly controlled the entire city of Lima.

Weng Huasong settled in the Governor's Office and officially took over the city of Lima.

With his achievements in running United First City, he didn't need to risk himself to explore new areas, but he still happily accepted the job.

First, he actually likes this challenging job, and second, he was able to get the position of governor whom the Ming Dynasty dreamed of this time, and most importantly, he wanted to do his part to serve the Chinese nation.

He first met with the dean of the monastery who was left here, and explained to him the reason for the Ming Dynasty's conquest and at the same time stated his management purpose.

After expressing his intentions and purpose to the dean of the monastery who stayed here, he officially took over the city.

Following Lin Shiran's principles of treating Christianity in Guangdong, Weng Huasong did not intend to take action against Christianity, and even allowed them to continue preaching here, but they had to obey their Ming Dynasty management.

The president of the monastery thought he was doomed, but after hearing Weng Huasong's principles, he nodded quickly and agreed to accept the management of the Ming Dynasty.

Weng Huasong was a very outstanding manager. He first appeased the panic of the people at that time. Even when facing the Spanish nobles who did not have time to escape, they did not execute them, but gave them full human rights.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was not an invader, but just the Spaniards who conquered the American continent, and at the same time accepted the city of Lima, which originally belonged to the Spaniards.

However, in this extraordinary period, chaos in the city was inevitable. That night, a raging fire broke out in the houses of several nobles.

What is extremely surprising is that the Ming Dynasty's security army arrived soon and arrested more than ten criminals who committed the crime on the spot. Weng Huasong immediately sentenced those who killed and set fire to death.

In terms of management ability, the predecessors of China have accumulated countless experiences, but they are not comparable to those of the Spanish with only eight million people.

With the emergence of special curfew measures, the rich people who were originally worried about being afraid of it gradually felt relieved, but began to accept the governance of the Ming Dynasty with pleasure.

For those slaves or civilians who had nowhere to go, the Ming Dynasty also settled them and re-arranged their work through the Labor Department under the Governor's Office.

The patriotism in the West is relatively weak, and the Spaniards are not very loyal to the country. Many Spanish immigrants actually rioted with the indigenous people.

Now seeing the orderly public security in the city, the Ming Dynasty had comprehensive fairness and did not even rob their property. These Spaniards also silently supported the Ming Dynasty Governor's government.

Weng Huasong is not only a management talent, but also good at dealing with relationships with the surrounding forces. He soon concluded a peace treaty with the rebels.

With Lima City as a base, it can not only become a supply point for the Eastern Expedition Army, but also become a bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty merchants to enter the American market.

Hai Batian led the Eastern Expedition Force to rest here and absorbed some excellent mercenaries. The next plan was to invade the New Spain Governor's District in Mexico City.

Now he is no longer a small pirate leader on the East China Island, but a third-rank right assistant minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, with an additional position as a soldier.

This time he led the Eastern Expedition Army across the Pacific Ocean to fight against the Spaniards who violated the power of the Ming Dynasty, and to fully open up the market on the American continent for the Ming Dynasty.

After so many years, he gradually understood the painstaking efforts of Xiangye Lin to open the sea, a prosperous road that can truly rise to the Chinese nation.

Today, China is truly thriving. Even in the face of a disaster year, it will not be hungry all over the world, but can calmly deal with any level of disaster.

If the market on the American continent is fully opened this time, let alone the value of these gold and silver ores, this huge market alone will make many families in the Ming Dynasty rich.

It is precisely because he knew that the heavy responsibility he shouldered this time would remove Spain, which hindered the rise of the Chinese nation, from the American continent.

Three days later, the Eastern Expedition Army replenished enough food and freshwater in Lima. Hai Batian immediately rushed to the north, pointing to the earliest and most important New Spain Governor's District.

The artillery fire broke out two days later, but the tactical methods of directly attacking Lima were different. Since New Spain was stationed with many Spanish main troops and recruited many Indians to serve as mercenaries, it was a method of naval battle to encircle it.

Hai Batian commanded the powerful Eastern Expedition Army to encircle Mexico City without attacking it. At the warships that appeared, whether they were the Calavellian ships or the Garen ships, they were all sunk with shells.

The Ming Dynasty's shells made a qualitative leap, and they showed a unilateral crush on the Spanish shells, turning the invincible Spanish fleet into a target for practice.

At first, there were senior Spanish officials who were unwilling to accept the battle, but in the face of the powerful artillery fire of the Eastern Expedition Army, they did not even have a chance to escape.

Later, the Spaniards in the city had to accept the fact that they could never defeat the Ming Dynasty on the sea.

Seeing the warships that he was proud of were submerged one by one, this undoubtedly severely damaged the soldiers of the Spanish Legion, causing more and more soldiers to want to escape.

In the next four days, first a warship fled in the name of war, then some nobles fled, and finally the Mexican managers gave up on sticking.

Facing the chaotic Moshi Brother City, Hai Batian led the team to take over the place, and at the same time took on the public security work here, and did the law on the spot for those who ignored the law.

At this point, the Eastern Expedition Army had achieved initial victory. While fighting and maintaining the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, it also gained Spain's stronghold in the American continent.

Time has quietly arrived in the seventh year of Baili, and the work of the Eastern Expedition Army has not ended.

Although he successfully captured two governors of Spain, Spain still has stationed in various places, and Portugal is also entrenched in the eastern part of South America.

Since the Spanish King Felipe has already served as Portugal, the Ming Dynasty and Portugal have long been enemies but not friends, so they naturally have to launch a military strike.

It took only two months for the fleets across Spain to be devastating, and the Portuguese surrendered directly to the Ming Dynasty.

The Portuguese and the Spanish had no choice but to deal with each other, and even had a deep feud. When they learned that it was the Spanish who caused the trouble, they killed the new governor of Spain with their own hands and then surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

At this point, the Eastern Expedition Forces had controlled various important ports on the American continent, thus establishing the absolute hegemony of the Ming Dynasty in the American waters.

In the next half year, more and more Ming merchant ships came to the American continent and quickly captured the indigenous residents here through affordable and affordable goods.

In addition, the mining team of the joint merchant group arrived and drove the Spaniards away from the mining area through mercenaries, and then mined these gold and silver mines in an orderly manner.

For this kind of mining work, the United Business Group has accumulated a lot of talents and technology, and it is far more reasonable than that of the Spanish.

However, the gold and silver mined must be divided into three parts, 30% will be given to the navy, 40% will be given to the court, and the remaining 30% will be owned by the United Merchants Group.

The navy wanted to maintain the dominance of the American continent without the support of gold and silver. The reason why the Ming Dynasty mobilized many expeditions was also hoped to get rewards.

Unlike the Spanish who were slaves and indigenous, the joint business group adopted the most scientific management method, but implemented the employment model with the indigenous people.

This seemingly inconspicuous move greatly increased the enthusiasm of workers. Seeing the silver dollars they received every month exchanged for a large amount of affordable goods and food, they seemed very energetic.

When the Ming merchants carried out trade in the Americas, they found that although these areas were very backward, many of their tribes had a large amount of gold and silver, and so they made a lot of money.

As for the indigenous people here, they were not only deeply attracted by the Ming Dynasty goods, but also the Ming merchants who yearned for peace, and the two sides also formed a friendship.

In addition, Brazil's white sugar is also popular among the Chinese people, and the price of white sugar in China has risen, so many merchants have started trading in white grain.

Thanks to the financial platform built by the three major exchanges, when these merchant ships were rushing to gold on the American continent, many people in the Ming Dynasty could benefit from it and gain the dividends brought by opening the sea.
