Chapter 46 The follow-up to the world of Pirates of the Caribbean
Although Chen Mo left the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, that world is still running according to his arrangements.
Cuba became the center of the Caribbean. Governor Swan moved the Governor's Palace here and brought the entire Caribbean under his control.
The surrendered pirates also moved here to live. Although they were still somewhat disobedient to discipline, Chen Mo's initial intimidation and the pirate kings who also accepted the surrender were still somewhat binding on them.
So although the security situation is a bit bad, overall there is not much of a problem.
After taking control of the entire Caribbean region, Governor Swann and Beckett also followed Chen Mo's instructions and began to vigorously explore and develop this region.
A large number of surrendered pirates were assigned to different islands and began various development and construction. Several larger islands re-cultivated part of the plantations into farmland to achieve self-sufficiency in food, not just
Plant cash crops.
Of course, as an important source of financial revenue in the Caribbean, various plantations continued to operate, producing large amounts of sugar, coffee and other crops, which were shipped to Europe through the East India Company's merchant ships in order to obtain huge profits.
The money was not used for other things, but was used to fund Watt's further improvement and popularization of steam engines in accordance with Chen Mo's wishes.
The Caribbean certainly did not have the conditions for large-scale application of steam engines, but Mexico, which had achieved independence, was different.
There is enough land and resources here to apply steam engines on a large scale, providing sufficient foundation and conditions for the industrial revolution.
Although Mexico has no industrial base at all, this is not a problem, because the real industry in this era has just begun to sprout. As long as there is sufficient capital investment, everything is not a problem.
However, the Mexicans were obviously not willing to submit to Chen Mo's rule, although the two rebel leaders negotiated terms with him at first, in exchange for the support of the East India Company.
But after overthrowing the Spanish rule, these Mexicans obviously did not want to be ruled by anyone anymore.
The two leaders of the rebel army had no intention of going back on their word. However, it was a pity that they were indeed not very capable, and they were soon overthrown and beheaded by their men because of this incident.
These Mexican rebels quickly elected new leaders and began to expel the employees of the East India Company who had previously supported them on a large scale. They even declared to the East India Company that no one could enslave Mexico.
After that, they also actively prepared for the founding of the country, intending to establish an independent country ruled by Mexicans.
It has to be said that after people taste the taste of freedom, they will no longer be willing to be ruled and enslaved.
But for Mexicans, they have not understood that so-called freedom often requires paying a price of blood in exchange for it.
Although they had shed a lot of blood in the process of overthrowing the Spanish rule, they did not understand that the reason why they were able to overthrow the Spanish rule was not because they paid a price, but because someone helped them.
Now, they plan to drive away the people who helped them and take charge of their own affairs. This is understandable and undisputed, but they have ignored the huge power gap between the people who helped them and them.
Chen Mo was initially unwilling to go to war with the Spanish directly and wanted to support the Mexicans. That was just because he found it troublesome and did not want to fight a protracted war, let alone an all-out war with the Spanish Empire.
As for the so-called independent Mexico now...
Before the messenger came to this world to report the situation to Chen Mo, the East India Company's troops had penetrated the three lines of defense established by the Mexicans and captured Mexico City.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that we have basically broken down the resistance of the Mexicans and will soon be able to stabilize the situation in the Mexican province." The messenger assured Chen Mo after introducing the situation.
Chen Mo waved his hand indifferently. Mexico was not worth his attention. He was more concerned about the problems in Europe: "How is the promotion of blood wine in Europe?"
"At present, the East India Company has established three blood wineries, each of which can stably export blood wine to Europe." The messenger naturally knew that this matter was the focus of his report to Chen Mo across the world.
Chen Mo replied in detail: "Currently, through the relationship between Governor Swann and the King's envoy, we have donated the blood wine to the British royal family, and sold it to France, Sweden, Denmark and Austria through the East India Company.
The royal family of the country.
The royal families and nobles of various countries are very fond of it, and it has set off a popular trend in the European continent. As soon as every merchant ship carrying blood wine arrives at the port, it will be snapped up by special personnel sent by the royal families of various countries at the port.
It is said that the King of Spain coveted it very much and tried to buy blood wine through French connections. The French King himself has now stopped drinking blood wine at various important palace banquets."
In fact, the situation is far more exaggerated than what the messenger said. Nobles from all over the world are fascinated by this magical wine, and many nobles are even fanatical.
The situation of big countries like Britain and France is not bad, because they have enough merchant ships and wealth, as well as a suitable geographical location, so they can purchase fresh blood wine as soon as possible.
Countries like Denmark, Austria, and Sweden inevitably need to wait for middlemen to change hands.
Not only was it delayed in time, but more money had to be spent due to the epidemic of blood brew.
This has undoubtedly made the royal families and nobles of these countries very hungry, even fanatical.
If they hadn't been able to obtain blood brew to quench their thirst, and the transformation of blood brew was relatively slow and gentle, and difficult to detect, I'm afraid a vampire craze would have started in Europe right now.
Speaking of this, the messenger remembered something that Beckett had specifically told him before he came, and added: "About your Majesty's request to provide blood wine to the Holy See as the Holy See's special red wine for various religious ceremonies,
Lord Beckett has sent out capable people to lobby the cardinals of the Holy See, and I believe that this matter will come to an end soon."
Listening to the messenger's report, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction at the work of Beckett and the others. It was obvious that they had completed their task quite well.
Chen Mo believes that it won't be long before Europe in the Pirates of the Caribbean world will become a country of vampires and submit to his rule.
Chen Mo, who was very satisfied with this, praised Beckett and others. After letting the messenger convey it, he asked about other things: "It seems that you have done a good job. What are the British mainland's opinions on handling the Caribbean area?"
