"This informant, wants to be a spy?" In the secret room behind the bar, Mr. Fernando was silent, thought for a while, and tapped on the table: "I have learned about him, he used to live in Málaga, his late parents converted, but I have always adhered to Catholicism, and I gave us a message during the campaign to recover Málaga...... Ethics and background are okay, and sincerity is also there, but ability still needs to be tested...... Let him spy on the Moors first, sometimes 'amateur spies' can do something unexpected. ”

"Are you going to use this expression here......" was another tapping sound.

"Aren't you like that."

"I'm just imitating you."

Mr. Fernando was unimpressed: "I like this kind of password, and by the way, it has also allowed me to master a foreign language...... The young man called you Madame, but he didn't know I hadn't done it yet......"

A violent knock expressed the other's displeasure, but Fernando showed no embarrassment.

"Daydream, what a wonderful thing it is that you have repeated this not-so-nice English word in such a poetic way......"

……

"Cisneros, do you think I'm particularly creative......" Ferdinand banged on the table vigorously, much to the embarrassment of the questioner, who did not know that his majesty was playing a performance artist.

"Although the Niderhogg Group has only been in existence for three months and is based in Sardinia, it will in the future be able to afford intelligence, espionage and counter-espionage throughout Spain...... You should not take it lightly, visit the headquarters often, and stay in Sardinia for the next few months, because the garrison on Sardinia is one of the backbones of the planned new army. ”

"The confidentiality work must be done well, the password must not be leaked, there must be a sense of confidentiality, like I am now, and it can't be used indiscriminately, if I wasn't sure that there was only Juana nearby, I wouldn't dare to knock the table so loudly."

"I'll tell you a secret, you must not tell anyone, well, I know this is a bit repetitive...... Anyway, that's it, I designed a new set of languages by myself, no, more than one, some languages are borrowed from the old Nordic language, such as Runewen, anyway, few people understand it, and I don't know if I say it, like you. There is also a set of languages that I have completely original, Tengwar. Rest assured, the British won't know, they don't know what the language of the elves is. In addition, I prepared a simplified oriental font and the corresponding phonetic symbols, which I then translated to and from the English language......"

"Oh, we seem to be off topic, Moorish huh? Rest assured, it's just a little sign now, and I dare say that they won't dare to rebel in six years. In order to boost their courage, we can take some special measures, for example, you can burn some books in public, but don't destroy the medical part, and then send some priests to give them fierce propaganda, so that they feel that they are in trouble, and then they can't help but take the initiative to make trouble, so that we don't violate the surrender treaty......"

"Hey, are you listening? I had a hard time banging on the table. It's okay, what are you shivering for? Do you dare to say that you don't have such thoughts in mind? I dare say let you deal with the Moors, and you'll do the same thing! Though you may be trying to prosecute the heretics alone. Don't show such a surprised expression, I know what kind of person you are and what kind of things you will do, which is why I let you be in charge of such an important institution. Your responsibilities are great, and all the loyal spies, killers, and intelligence channels that have been carefully recruited and accumulated by the two kingdoms for decades or even a hundred years are under your control. Like a true black dragon, lurk at the base of the World Tree, slowly gnawing at the foundations of your enemies and withering them. Until the twilight of despair falls. ”

"Okay, now we can communicate normally." Ferdinand shook his hand to relieve the pain.

Cisneros breathed a sigh of relief, communicating with His Majesty the King in such a way always made him feel creepy, he didn't know whether he should speak, or knock on the table with His Majesty?

"How's the situation with the Reclamation Corps?"

"In great condition. The number of recruits in the northern left-behind areas was originally 1,000, but the actual number was 1,208. That is, to leave 1050 soldiers, 103 sailors and 55 officers. The three major disciplines and eight points of attention that you emphasized, they all swore an oath to God. ”

"The work of the military judges and the Judge Advocate Advocate General must be done well, and the formation of a formed cantonment corps and a formed new army will soon begin. This is the first time it has been formed, it is not large, and we can still rely on the conduct of the soldiers. I won't be able to do it anymore. The treatment must be guaranteed, and the deduction of corruption must be resolutely eliminated! ”

The tasks of the Judge Advocate General's Office include not only the enforcement of military discipline and military law, but also ideological education, mobilization and encouragement. The first batch of North American Reclamation Corps, with only more than 1,000 personnel, did not have time to improve the military law system, and relied heavily on the conduct of soldiers. Ferdinand sent an additional 2,700 sailors and soldiers to the New World, some of them from the royal guard, and some from the fleet that carried Juana to Flanders. Ferdinand deliberately gave priority to single dogs or separated dogs who could normally afford not to go to a brothel. In addition, the clergy were from the convents of good moral character, and thanks to Isabella's vigorous purification of the Church, the Spanish Catholic Church was not as corrupt as the Holy See. He personally chose a time to give a speech to the 3,000 people who went to the New World, telling them that you are not like the people brought by Columbus, that you are going to the north of the New Land, where there is no gold, no silver, no pleasant climate, not as kind natives as Columbus they met, and not as docile girls as they met.

But that's fine, at least the soldiers won't be undisciplined, after all, the patterned samurai are watching there. And you don't have to worry about syphilis anymore, whether your own life can be saved is a matter of two questions.

However, when European immigrants first arrived in the New World, the North American Indians were relatively friendly, and the colonists were powerful, and conflicts broke out only after they went deep into the interior.

"On the contrary, there are terrible diseases that are contracted by the unclean. There are bitter winters, not much more peaceful than those in Scotland and Norway. There were unfriendly samurai there, not so tame as the natives of the southern islands. Nearly 500 years ago, the fierce Vikings settled the land there, but only entrenched for three or four years before they were evacuated, and the bad relations with the indigenous people, the internal struggle caused by the women, and the sudden change in the weather were the main reasons for their failure, and I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"As the king of Aragon and the patron of the expedition, I have given you a favourable treatment, and the soldiers can receive an annuity of 8,000 ducats, two and a half times that of today's first-class sailors, and even more for officers. Your family's livelihood is guaranteed by the royal family. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Therefore, in accordance with your oath and the law, your regimental commander, 11 military judges and 180 gendarmerie will strictly supervise and lead by example. ”

The cantonment corps and the new army were the strong pillars of Ferdinand's royal power and development strategy, and discipline and purity must be guaranteed.

"I have tried my best to prepare enough supplies for the Reclamation Corps, including warm clothing, tents, food, and wood...... You will have to go through two or three years of hard work, and how you secure yourself and how you deal with the indigenous people depends on your wisdom and ability. ”

Ferdinand regarded the development of the east coast of North America as the top priority of the Americas strategy, and there is no room for error, and in recent years, it may be difficult to have a sufficient number of immigrants to run to North America in the cold winter, after all, it is still the Xiaoice period, not a joke.

So Ferdinand decided to use the army to form a cantonment corps.

Ferdinand's cantonment corps is not exactly the same as the literal meaning, in fact, the task of the cantonment corps is not only to reclaim, but also to open up and occupy land as soon as possible, and now cantonment is only a last resort to maintain its own supplies. They will not be allowed to take off their military uniforms and become peasants. By the time the second group of Reclamation troops arrived in the Americas in 1499 on a large scale, they would immediately begin to occupy the coastal lands on the east coast of North America. After a few years, when Spain basically controlled the coast, the Reclamation Corps would become the vanguard of the westward movement, rushing to the front line to fight the Indians, seizing land from powerful tribes such as the Iroquois, advancing all the way west from the mouth of the Hudson River to the Mississippi River, then to the Rocky Mountains, Oregon, California, and all the way to the Pacific Coast, taking control of all the land in the United States and creating conditions for the smooth implementation of homestead laws.

After all, you can't enact a homestead law right now, and whether you can actually get homesteads is not the main issue. Now that the coastline government doesn't even control it, when people flock to Jamestown, New York, and Boston will turn all the farms and plantations into private domains, what will you do? Could it be that the Empire State Building and Wall Street should be set up on someone else's farm?

The cantonment corps is also of great military significance, because the cantonment corps is different from the production and construction corps, and the personnel are rotated, and the soldiers in the cantonment corps will be transferred to the new-style army on the mainland or in the nearest place after a certain number of years or have made major meritorious contributions, and the army soldiers should also be regularly transferred to the cantonment corps, so as to promote production, accumulate actual combat experience, and cultivate good discipline and fighting spirit. In the future, local settlers and militia can also be incorporated into the Reclamation Corps for regular training. In times of war, it directly becomes combat effectiveness. The later suppression of the Moorish rebellion in southern Iberia and the war against the Moors in North Africa could draw lessons from the fight against the Indians in the New World.

The cantonment corps is not a rustic army, on the contrary, its backbone is composed of high-quality soldiers and advanced weapons, and the vast land of the American continent is an ideal and hidden testing ground for new weapons.

"The future is bright, the road is tortuous, and we need to work together to achieve it."
