Chapter nine hundred and fourteen Gan Hui's growth seeks the moon
In a Spanish-style garden mansion near the sea, Gan Hui was drinking tea while looking at the sparkling sea in the distance.
Since he arrived here, he has suddenly fallen into a comfortable state of life.
I have to say that life on the coast of West Mexico is so comfortable.
Across the ocean and traveling thousands of miles, Gan Hui and the Ming army soldiers really need time to rest.
It is just a long way from Bandras Valley (Pu. Vallarta) to Mexico City.
This waiting time is just for rest.
"General Gan, this small town is very suitable for living. If you can immigrate from the Ming Dynasty, it can solve the problem of many people not having land to farm."
Although Gan Hui was a navy general, he also knew the importance of farming to a dynasty.
If commerce and maritime trade are important channels to expand the empire's wealth, then farming is the foundation of the empire.
Judging from the situation where His Majesty the Emperor vigorously promoted immigration in the Western Regions and cultivated farming, the land carrying capacity of the Ming Dynasty is now close to the limit of saturation.
That is why His Majesty the Emperor wanted to move the people of the Central Plains to the Western Regions.
This not only allows the land in the Western Regions, but also relieves the pressure on the Central Plains.
Of course there is no problem with this approach now, but what about fifty or one hundred years later?
What if the land in the Western Regions could not satisfy the Ming Dynasty at that time?
Perhaps, the American continent is a good choice.
The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the land resources are very rich.
The Ming army could obtain these as long as they solved one problem, that is, the rule of the Spanish.
But this is not an easy thing.
Today, the Spanish Navy is known as the invincible Navy, and its empire strength is also among the Europa countries.
The last time the Ming army took down the city under Lawrence under extremely thrilling circumstances in Manila, with victory or defeat only a slight margin.
But at that time, the Ming army was strong and powerful.
Today, the Ming army only has five thousand pioneers in Gan Hui's hands, while the Spanish on the American continent are at least tens of thousands.
This number of people is a bit too large.
So Gan Hui did not think of starting a war immediately. If there were some talks with the Spaniards here, then let’s talk first. If the negotiations were not reached, then let’s talk about the matter.
Gan Hui has ordered people to go to Manila to contact Zheng Chenggong, and believes that Guo’s surname will soon send troops to reinforce the Americas.
"Yes, it depends on the attitude of the Master of Guo. If you are away, you will not accept your order. We are too far from the capital and are closer to Manila. When the Master of Guo makes a decision, let's make a decision."
As soon as he finished speaking, the subordinates sent by Thiago Enrique, the left-behind officer of Banderas Valley (Pu. Vallarta), arrived.
He saluted Gan Hui very respectfully, saying that the Governor of New Spain, Lord Jose, had sent a letter.
Gan Hui took the letter and opened it and found that it was in Spanish and frowned: "What does this mean?"
He handed the letter back to the Spaniard who was beside him, and the subordinate sent by Thiago took over the belief.
After reading it, he translated Spanish into Chinese.
Gan Hui was shocked when he saw this.
"You can speak Chinese? Are you a wise man?"
He had long discovered that this person's appearance was different from that of ordinary Spanish, but he just didn't ask questions.
Now it seems that this person really has Han blood.
"My mother is a Ming person, and she was taken captive here in the Port of Manila. My father is a Spanish. My name is Alfonso Luis. I also have a Chinese name called Liu Chuanjia."
Gan Hui didn't expect this person to be so fluent in Chinese. He was shocked and was very excited.
If you have a long drought, you will encounter a rainy rain, and you will meet an old friend in a foreign land.
Although Liu Chuanjia can only be considered half of his fellow countrymen, he feels very happy.
"Then the general will ask you Liu Chuanjia."
Gan Hui said in a deep voice: "Governor Jose means that he is too busy now, so it is not convenient to meet us, right?"
Gan Hui asked very straightforwardly without any delay.
"That's what it means. Governor Jose is doing a lot of things and wants to deal with the affairs of the entire New Spain region. I really can't find time for a while. Please forgive me."
"Okay, I know. You go back first."
Gan Hui yawned, then waved his hand.
"Okay, you can just call me anytime if you need it."
Liu Chuanjia respectfully retreated.
As soon as he left, Gan Hui said to his confidant: "The mansion should be surrounded by Spanish informants. We are being monitored. Be careful when speaking in everything and never be heard by others."
The personal soldier was shocked and said, "How do you know, General Gan?"
Gan Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but I just got rid of my doubts. Look at this Liu Chuanjia, his eyes were erratic when he spoke, either dodging or dodging. Look at the letter written by Jose, saying that there is no time, and we ask us to rest here first, don't worry. Do you believe this kind of nonsense? Even if you are busy, even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can take time. Why can't he take time out of the new Spanish governor? There is only one explanation, that is, he doesn't want to see me yet, or is planning something."
Gan Hui sighed and said, "Actually, I should have thought of it for a long time."
"But General Gan, if this is true, why did they send Liu Chuanjia to contact us? Our food and clothing cost has been pretty good these days."
"You are so stupid. Even if you want to do it, they can't come blatantly, let alone they haven't figured out our details yet."
After saying that, Gan Hui said in a deep voice: "The reason why the Spaniards did this is to stabilize us first. When they figure out our details, they are taking action. We must protect ourselves now. If we can go to war with them, we will not go to war with them. When the army of the Guo family arrives, we will have the confidence."
"Hiss, I didn't expect that Liu Chuan family was so insidious. They were clearly covered with the blood of Han people, but they were accomplices of tigers to be dogs for the Spanish. It really looked down upon me, I'm sorry."
"It's nothing strange about this. After all, he is a mixed race. He has been immersed in the Spanish environment for a long time. He has nothing to make a fuss about his favor to Spain. But we have to be more alert and must not be blinded by their sweet words."
Gan Hui has indeed grown a lot over the years. If it were in the past, he would at most charge. Such a situation can never be analyzed.
But after a period of accumulation, Gan Hui has indeed grown up.
After all, as Zheng Chenggong and other generals grow old, their group of Mesozoic generals always need to push up.
