After roughly touching the bottom, Chen Jian also had a little judgment in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to set the course for the future, and what he is most worried about now is the extremely fanatical war-like part of the country, especially some young people and military leaders, and the war is an opportunity for them to make a fortune.

With a silver mine as big as Potosi placed, it was impossible for the families of the north and the young people who had been stirred up not to be fanatical.

Not to mention whether it can be fought or not, the ideological gap on the side of one's own ethnic group is a big difference.

Before some things were developed, there was really no ability to compete with monotheism, and there was still a large number of Jesuits in South America, among which there were many elites in the world.

There were also divisions within the Society of Jesus. Jesuit priests, such as Matteo Ricci, who were enlightened, hoped to adapt to local conditions in order to facilitate localization. The old school, represented by the other group, adheres to principles and does not want to change.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was spread in a way that conformed to the local traditional culture, borrowing the name of Haotian God, allowing the worship of ancestors, etc.; In some Indian-populated areas of South America, the Last Supper of the Brown Madonna and the alpaca guinea pig was made.

It is needless to say that there is no denying that there are indeed many talents in it, and only those who are not dogmatic and unscripted have hope.

It is easy for people to accept that everyone in a monotheistic religion is a brother, and religious reforms that began with theological logic have begun to try to facilitate the spread of religion in new ways.

When grassroots organizations basically collapse, this kind of thing mixed with some of the universal morality of humanity will spread quickly.

These things need to be pondered. The Great Wilderness City is too close to this side and Europe.

Some of the colonial methods of Spain were not learned, and they were very difficult without the assistance of religious means.

The indirect rule of the British colonies, it is useless to learn it. If it is used, it will not take a few decades for the upper echelons to be infiltrated by monotheism like a sieve.

In the Great Wilderness City, Chen Jian could only rely on class struggle to temporarily sweep away the more universal things such as cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and confront and assimilate, and in terms of ideology, he had to come up with a system that could confront them.

How big a bowl there is, how many meals to eat. This bowl is not just a soldier gun, but also culture. If you eat too much, you can easily push yourself to death.

In the face of the fact that culture, religion, and language are completely different from the same system, from the perspective of the Nanyang Trading Company and the group of merchants and workshop owners behind it, the long-term goal of Spanish South America is clear.

Spreading radical ideas, cultivating the national consciousness of the imaginary community of the "Americans", writing radical articles against the royal family, the viceroy and the monopoly of trade and translating them into Latin, interfering in the wars in Spain itself, and not inciting the South American Indians to revolt for the time being - once they revolt, the native whites will be on the side of the royal family, and they will only oppose the royal family when the bottom cannot threaten them, and their vacillation determines that they want to rise but are extremely afraid of the revolution at the bottom.

This is what the interest groups standing behind Nanyang Trading Company consider.

Jian Chen also figured it out, there were some things he couldn't stop. Dirty things like the slave trade are impossible for the interest groups behind the Nanyang Trading Company to miss, and it may not be impossible for domestic people to be used as indentured slaves if there is an overpopulation in the country.

After all, these people are only allies for more than ten years, and Chen Jian will get out when he feels that it is time to get out, and withdraw or sell his shares when he sets the direction of future development strategy. While shouting about the equality of human rights and longing for the rise and happiness of the people, while going to the slave trade, this kind of bitch is inappropriate, it is not interesting.

A few days later.

Chen Jian entertained all the smugglers, merchants, and representatives of merchant ships in the Spanish colonies, and did not invite people from the rest of the country.

It is a banquet of the ethnic group, kneeling and sitting to divide the meal, but considering that these people do not know how to use chopsticks, they use knives and forks.

Beautifully crafted transparent glasses and plates of indigenous porcelain, this simple banquet is a grand affair.

Although the businessmen are not accustomed to this kind of banquet, Chen Jian has guns and interests, and they can only respect them.

Jian Chen made up a lie about his birthday and got a bunch of congratulatory words.

After pouring half a glass of spirits, Jian Chen stood up and tapped the glass with a silver-plated fork he bought from the island of the goddess, and the tinkling sound quickly quieted the scene, and the merchants looked at Jian Chen.

"Gentlemen, I did not know what to call you before I said this. Is it Spanish? Creoles? Or the Mestizos? But I don't think it's wrong to have a name. ”

"Allow me, ladies and gentlemen, to call you great and industrious pioneers. The title is appropriate, without you there would be no prosperity of New Spain, Peru and the archipelago. So, whether it's Creoles or Mestiso, I want to call them East Indians, and that can't be wrong. ”

"You and your forefathers have come to this land with faithfulness to God, and have cultivated this fertile virgin land with your industriousness. The East Indies went from barbarism to prosperity from the hands of you and your ancestors, so you are East Indians. ”

"Your forefather, the Governor of Pizarro, used to say of the outsiders: Those who came from Spain ostensibly for the glory of the Lord and for the greatness of the royal family. But in reality they just want to enjoy the fruits of your sweat and enjoy comfortably all that you have won with your blood. ”

"No one has ever doubted your loyalty to the royal family, and what you have done has been proven, but those outsiders from the peninsula have reaped the fruits of your enjoyment for nothing. This is a fact that makes me, an outsider, angry and unhappy. ”

"You are the sons and daughters of the industrious people of the faithful Fatherland, the Fatherland is the second God, who nurtures you, nurtures you, and makes you feel the highest glory. You should be as loyal to the crown and to God as the Portuguese, and to the Low Countries, and there is Naples, but you can shout that you are East Indians as they call themselves Portuguese. ”

"Your ancestors had the glory of recovering Seville and Valencia from the infidels and the courage to fight the Sultan at Lepanto in defence. But the other half of our ancestors also created a civilization here that rivals that of Egypt, and the heroic and self-sacrificing qualities of the kings of the past are noble and memorable. ”

"The East Indies were pioneered by your hands, and all wealth comes from labor and conquest, but the governors, the inquisitors, and the like, will never be the turn of you East Indians. It's an unreasonable thing to do. ”

"Greedy officials and merchants monopolize trade, and I have heard that the high price of cotton cloth, the scarcity of glass, and even the mercury from which silver is mined have to be bought at high prices from greedy monopolists."

"As the Governor of the Huaxia Republic, I am saddened and angry by this kind of thing."

"Today, we gather here, the East Indians and the people of the Republic, gathered here. And what we do will glorify the Lord in whom you believe - we, you and I, are for the East Indians to obtain better and cheaper cotton, silk, porcelain, glass, and all that is used in life. Nothing pleases the Lord more than to make the lives of those who are favored by the Lord richer. ”

"The Creator has given people the right to freedom, to live and to pursue happiness. Any effort to pursue happiness is what the Lord wants. ”

"I'm proud that you're here today. Some may slander you as a smuggler, but all this stigma cannot hide your efforts to pursue the happiness of the East Indians. Smuggling for the happiness of more people will not add sin to you, but will lead your souls to the kingdom of eternal life. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us toast to the common happiness of all East Indians for the sake of the justice of the Republic and the glory of the Lord in whom you believe in."

Chen Jianqiang endured the feeling of wanting to vomit for smuggling to such a great light, and raised his wine glass with a smile.

The words he said have long had a foundation, whether it is the second generation of white or the second generation of mixed race, the name of the Spaniards has also secretly changed to "outsiders".

It's just that no one has given them an answer: where are they really from?

Chen Jian said that they are East Indians, because the relationship between East and West is reversed, this is the East India and not the West India of the normal line, whether they believe it or not, they do not resist this title.

After a while, the sound of toasting sounded, and under the influence of the spirits, Jian Chen took the opportunity to say something else to these people.

Today he does not know Latin, and some of the laws and decrees of the Spanish colonies, the ancestral legends of the southern Indians, and the changed historical lines and topography of New Spain in the north are not clear.

Once it is clear, it is entirely possible to concoct a batch of Spanish-language articles and disseminate them in large quantities during smuggling, which is not yet ripe for dialectical reasons, but this kind of dissemination can promote the ripening of the time.

Spain's decline was caused by the extrinsic, internal causes of money and powerlessness and a subtle sense of oppression, which required a perfect idea as a fuse.

After two shameless feasts, some trade routes for smuggling or legal transactions were finally finalized.

The two smuggling routes were also attempted, both in the archipelago and in the northern part of the Viceroyalty of Peru. In the coastal area of the Potosí mining area in the south, the fleet of the Nanyang Trading Company is not yet able to sail there, so it can only retreat in the oil port for limited trade.

At the same time, there was also a large number of goods on the ship of the round-the-world voyage, which also included a part of the Nanyang Trading Company, and this round-the-world voyage was also a trade.

Four large ships were left behind, one of which was used as a warship, the first ships of the South Seas Trading Company, and those still under construction would have to wait some time to join the fleet.

On the island, Chen Jian separated from the people of the Nanyang Trading Company, leaving behind a few people who could speak Dutch.

At the same time, he wrote a report on the direction of his development on the sea for the two or three years of the Nanyang Trading Company, and in addition to diplomacy and going to war, he had the final right to make recommendations before he officially began his circumnavigation of the world, and once he began to sail he was only one of the twenty-one board members.

He also wrote a report on Spain, which was handed over to the young officer of the navy, who took it back to the capital.

Merchants from the rest of the countries will choose to trade from the oil ports now, and soon the South Seas Trading Company's fleet will join and repair the forts will make it safe from pirates and small forces.

After that, it was up to the people of Nanyang Trading Company to deal with it on the spot. However, there will be no big problems in the next two or three years, the hand of the British cannot be stretched out for the time being, and the Dutch are still busy preparing for naval battles in Europe and Spain.

In the letter, his advice to the Nanyang Trading Company was to focus on familiarizing themselves with the language, building connections, bribing colonial officials, and smuggling a small amount of trade with the port, cracking down on nearby pirates, and making the first priority for navigating around South America and purchasing nautical charts.

Don't rush into big things, and be careful not to clash with the Spanish fleet for the time being.

When Wei Yuan returned from Goddess Island, he brought back a few servants who were familiar with the sea routes along the European coast and the servant translators that Chen Jian wanted, and the price was high, and everything would not be a problem.

These people got on board the fleet's sea soul shirt and mixed in with the fleet.

After dealing with these smuggling and other things, Chen Jian relinquished his position as governor of the Nanyang Trading Company and replaced himself with the commander of the Global Fleet appointed by the Council of the Republic and the king.

All the ships of the fleet lowered the blue and white ships of the trading company, raised the double flag of the yin-yang fish and the meandering dragon, and headed for the Spanish port of Holy Friday.

This was the first official exchange with the outside world, and it was also the official beginning of the round-the-world voyage.

He needed an envoy from the governor of the colony to accompany him, as he needed the Spanish envoy to see him sail to Amsterdam or Plymouth first.
