"Upgrading New Spain into a kingdom?"

King Philip really didn't understand, what was the relationship between upgrading New Spain as a kingdom and resisting the invasion of the Ming Empire?

"José," Philip asked, "if New Spain were a kingdom, would we be able to conjure up the population and the peso?" ”

"Of course!" Tang Dynasty. Huang. Jose nodded heavily, "Father, it's obvious! If New Spain was a colony of the Kingdom of Spain, then two viceroyalties (the Viceroyalty of New Spain and the Viceroyalty of Peru) plus a few governorates would be enough to govern, and not many nobles would be placed in office. And there was no precedent for dividing knights and lords into nobles in the colonies.

However, once New Spain became a kingdom, it had to place the standard government of the state, organize the army, divide the knights and lords, and form a council.

In this way we could recruit warriors from Spain proper, the Netherlands, Naples, Milan, and even from Germany or elsewhere in Europe who were willing to become the nobility of New Spain to emigrate to the past. These people were originally warriors, and once they arrived in New Spain, they could immediately form an army to fight against the United States of New Europe, which was supported by the Ming Empire.

I think there are always a lot of people here in Europe who want to be noble, right? ”

It seems to make some sense......

"But," King Philip frowned, "but the men we have recruited are not necessarily devout Catholics!" And they don't have to be Spaniards either, if they are allowed to enter New Spain, will it turn into a second Netherlands? ”

"No, no, it won't." Tang Dynasty. Huang. "The Kingdom of New Spain will never be a second Netherland...... Because we can ask the Europeans who have moved there to be Catholic and learn to speak Spanish! And the reason why the Netherlands is out of control is not because of immigration, but because the people who originally lived there were not Spaniards. They do not speak Spanish, do not identify with the Spanish state, and do not believe in Catholicism. ”

"Yes!" King Philip nodded, "They're heretics in the first place, damn heretics!" ”

Tang Dynasty. Huang. José said: "And the Kingdom of New Spain will be a country of immigrants, and you, as the king of this country, naturally have the right to ask the settlers to become Spaniards!" ”

In the 17th century, this requirement was taken for granted!

When you enter the countryside, you should follow the customs, unless you are a conqueror!

So in Britain itself, until the 21st century, the English, Scots, and Irish are still distinct, and even most of Ireland has said goodbye to the United Kingdom.

But on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, the English, the Scottish, the Irish, the Germans, the French, the Rakshasas, the Italians, and so on, all became Americans. All were required to speak English, identify with the United States, and most converted to Protestantism.

In the former colonies of Spain and Portugal, the situation was similar. Immigrants from all over the continent embraced Catholicism and spoke Spanish and Portuguese.

The only exception is probably the existence of a French-speaking Quebec region in British Canada that has never been able to assimilate.

But on the whole, the nations founded by these settlers in the New World were easier to unite than those of the old nations of the European continent.

Tang Dynasty. Huang. Jose saw that his stupid father was a little moved, and then persuaded: "Father, there are only two choices in front of us now, either sit back and wait for the Chinese to take away the whole of New Spain!" Either make New Spain a kingdom attached to Spain, and use this kingdom to attract Europeans who are willing to fight for her!

Father, you have to make a choice! ”

Philip IV was silent for a while, and then nodded slowly, "Jose, we can't sit back and wait for the fall of New Spain...... Well, I can elevate New Spain to a kingdom, but I will need to consult with the queen, the cardinals and the pope before the edict is officially issued. ”

"Of course, it's a must!" Tang Dynasty. Huang. José knew that this had been done for the most part...... As long as the establishment of the United States in the New World by the Ming Dynasty is implemented, Spain must do something here!

If the Kingdom of Spain itself could not help New Spain more, then upgrading it to a kingdom and allowing it to attract immigrants from all over Europe was the only way.

And Don. Huang. As long as José becomes the prime minister of the Kingdom of New Spain, it will be a matter of time before he becomes king!

......

Here in Europe, the great cause of the establishment of the Kingdom of New Spain in the Don. Huang. Driven by José and a group of visionaries from the Kingdom of Spain, it unfolded step by step. On the other side of the globe, the second group of migrant transports bound for the United States of New Asia has successfully crossed the vast ocean to their destination, the Gulf of the Americas.

One of the first migrant transport ships was the Henan.

And the second batch of migrant transport ships has a total of ten, including two Flying class, two bombardment boats, called the Dongning class, and six ordinary Wanshi Big Bird ships.

The ten ships were loaded with 1,000 soldiers and 1,000 immigrants, the "Iron Man Army" of the Dongning Army, and more than 400 families, as well as women purchased from Japan in the midst of civil war. Among them, more than 400 immigrants are Zheng Xi, Li Shaohua, Zhu Ruqin, Kong Yinwen, Zu Yongzhong, Gao Yuanjue, Liu Guozhong, the eight second ancestors or N ancestors who have no inheritance rights are brought in through family relations, all of them are small families of one man and one woman, and they are all young people in their twenties.

In this migration race, although the Ming Dynasty was a latecomer, it was more than a hundred years late, and the distance across the Pacific Ocean was also farther than across the Atlantic. But compared with Europe, Daming also has considerable advantages.

One is that there are too many people!

Second, the scale of production is too large!

With a large base, the United States of New Zealand will be able to pick and choose, and it will be able to plan as a whole, as in the Kingdom of New Spain, and it will not have to be like the Kingdom of New Spain, where it will be full of vegetables.

Therefore, at present, immigrants going to the United States of New World must meet certain conditions.

You have to be young and strong, you have to have a good match between men and women, and you have to have enough survival skills – men are good at plowing the fields, women are good at weaving.

As for what religion to believe in or what language to speak, it is not a question at all.

The advantages of huge production scale are even more obvious.

The 100 million taels of silver raised by Emperor Zhu were first a paper number; Second, these paper figures will not flow out of real money; Thirdly, these paper figures will be transformed into industrial and commercial output value through the financial system of the Ming Dynasty and the huge handicraft industry in the southeast!

In other words, Daming did not spend 100 million taels of silver, but created at least 100 million GDP......

So Don. Huang. José's policy of turning New Spain into the Kingdom of New Spain was completely correct, because Spain simply could not compete with the Ming on the issue of immigration to the New World, and the whole of Europe together was about the same - Europe still had an advantage together!

After all, the East Coast of North America, close to Europe, is the real place to be!

Of course, the advantages and disadvantages in this area are not manifested in a short period of time. In the short term, the immigrants who were able to be sent to the New World by the Ming Dynasty and Europe did not have to worry about the problem of living space.

Because the New World is too big, and it's too rich!

"It's, it's too big!"

"It doesn't seem very cold! Both sides of the strait are green ......"

"It's really not cold! It's weird, is this the north? ”

"Yes, it's December now, it's still green, and you can definitely grow two crops of wheat!"

"It seems that no one lives there, and there is no trace of reclamation......

"Such a good place, it's empty, it's really a sin!"

Before the immigrants from Daming came ashore, they were already stunned by the green and magnificent scenery along the coast of the Gulf of America.

Originally, they thought that they would be thrown into a field of ice and snow, but they did not expect that they would see a patch of green in winter.

This is not the northern country at all, but a rich land like the south of the Yangtze River!
