Chapter 788 Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge

The Ming Dynasty has added troops to the New World!

After the news came, Jose's face changed drastically. When he learned that the Ming Dynasty was not just about increasing troops, but also sent a powerful fleet from the Far East, Jose immediately felt something was wrong.

Although due to distance and time, from this point of view, the Ming Empire should have responded as soon as it received the outbreak of the war in the New World. However, this reaction was too fast and surprising. According to the information Jose inquired, there were more than 10,000 troops reinforced from the Ming Dynasty, the fleet had eleven warships, more than 30 transport ships and other ships. It is said that there will be continued reinforcements in the future.

Such a powerful force scared Jose very much. The army won't say for the time being. Just that fleet and the Ming Dynasty's original warships in the New World can easily block the entire New Spain's waters towards the Pacific Ocean.

At the same time, after receiving reinforcements, the Ming Dynasty obviously launched military mobilizations in the border areas near New Spain and Ming Dynasty, and took a stance of eyeing. After the news reached Jose's ears, Jose understood that the current Ming Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty before. It seemed that the previous war might have really angered the lion in the east.

At this point, Jose had no other choice. He could only find someone immediately and ask the other party to find a way as soon as possible, regardless of whether the flight schedule or the season is not the season. He would notify Luzon of the news anyway.

At the same time, Jose also issued an order to allow all Spanish fleets and ships on the Pacific to evacuate to South America or the Far East. If you go to South America, it would not be beneficial to evacuate to the Far East. Facing the Ming fleet eyeing them, it would not be beneficial to keep them in the New World, but would cause unnecessary losses to these warships and ships, and to let them evacuate to save them. As for evacuating to Luzon, on the one hand, it was to remind Luzon, and on the other hand, it was also to use this method to strengthen the power of Luzon in disguise.

Then, Jose wrote a letter to the Spanish mainland, and wrote to the king in the name of his New Spain Governor, asking the local people to find ways to reinforce the Far East as soon as possible.

After doing these things, Jose was exhausted on the chair, his face covered in sweat.

"Send the letter immediately! Hurry!" Wave to his subordinates, and his subordinates jogged out of the door. Jose took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then picked up the water cup placed aside and drank it in big mouthfuls.

Because he was drinking too quickly, a small half of the water flowed down the corners of his mouth, wetting a large piece of his gorgeous lace shirt, but he didn't care about this now, and he just wanted to try to calm himself down.

"Your Excellency, Colonel Thomas has arrived. Will he let him in?" As soon as he put down the water cup, a waiter knocked in and asked respectfully.

Jose was about to let him in, but soon noticed that his shirt was wet with water and his ugly face. He hesitated and said, "Please wait in the living room, I'll go there right away."

"Okay, sir." The waiter bowed slightly and then exited the room.

Jose got up, went to the inner room to change his shirt, then looked in the mirror and tidied up his own clothes, and finally took out perfume and sprinkled it all over his body, which restored his usual majestic image as the governor.

After doing all this, Jose walked out of the room and came to the living room not far from the room. When he entered the living room, Jose smiled and looked very happy and said to Colonel Thomas who had been waiting in the living room for a while: "Mr. Colonel, welcome you to my official residence. I'm very sorry. I was dealing with a very important thing just now, so I didn't let you wait for a long time, right?"

"Governor, your coffee is good, I like it very much." Colonel Thomas said with a smile and stood up.

José suddenly laughed and said, "Corp, you can appreciate it. It seems that this coffee is indeed for your appetite. If you don't mind, I'll give you some when you go back?"

"Thank you so much." Colonel Thomas smiled and nodded.

The two of them said something unnutritious before sitting down. After sitting down, they started to talk about the recent weather. It is winter now, but the daytime weather in New Spain is still relatively high. Compared to being used to the distinct temperatures in Europe, they have some common language in this regard and talked about it for more than ten minutes with interest.

One is a Spanish nobleman, and the other is a French officer. The Spanish scatteredness and French romance collide in this living room, and it is unknown whether there are any sparks.

Both sides seemed to be in a hurry, as if they could continue to talk about the weather after talking about the weather, or they could talk about tomorrow just by decorating the living room.

However, Jose, who invited Colonel Thomas, did not calm down in the end. After all, he invited the other party. Coupled with the bad news these days, Jose was anxious. At this time, as the governor of New Spain, he knew that if something really happened, not only would he, the governor, come to an end, but he would probably be severely punished by the kingdom for serious consequences.

"Col. Have you heard of it? Our neighbors to the west seem to have some small movements." Jose said lightly, but his eyes quietly paid attention to Colonel Thomas, and his hand that was placed aside also pinched it.

"Yes, it seems that our neighbors have become careful after suffering losses." Colonel Thomas replied inadvertently, and bursts of laughter were heard.

"This is for sure." Jose smiled and nodded, "They suffered a considerable loss in the previous war. If it weren't for the damn British, maybe these Ming people would have been driven out of the sea by us. Unfortunately, they failed to succeed at the beginning. Now the Ming Empire has reinforced the New World. As a staunch ally of France, I think I should inform you."

"On behalf of the Earl, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Colonel Thomas's expression did not change at all, and he nodded with a polite smile.

"The Ming Empire has increased a lot of troops this time. As an ally, I hope that Mr. Colonel can give the honorable Earl a little attention." Jose continued.

"This is of course, but we France have signed a contract with the Ming Empire. For us, the war has ended, right?" Colonel Thomas seemed not to understand Jose's meaning, but instead asked with a smile, shrugging his shoulders and said, "As an empire, I believe that the Ming Empire will not tear the contract under such circumstances, and the French Empire will not allow the Ming Empire to do so. As for the current military increase in the Ming Empire, it is very normal from the perspective of a soldier. This is a matter within a country. As long as it does not harm France's interests in the New World, what do you think? Governor?"
