Chapter 263: Conquering Central America(2/2)

The army is no match for it. The colonies do not have many army at all. The colonies are mainly naval and strongholds. European countries will not invest as many troops as the Far Eastern people in the colonies. They can generally defend with strongholds, while the Far Eastern people are an exception.

Although the losses are huge at this time, if the battle continues, the losses will be even greater. The Governor of New Spain sent an envoy to negotiate with the California Colony in April.

After half a month of negotiations, the two sides finally signed the "Central America Treaty". The treaty stipulates that the Ming Empire has sovereignty over Central America, and Spain will withdraw from Central America within one month. Spain can retain the Peruvian region, Chile, and Argentina as the Ming Empire, and Spain recognizes the sovereignty of the Ming Empire in Central America, Chile, and Argentina.

The Ming Empire recognized Spain's sovereignty over Peru and Cuba, and promised not to invade these areas and would continue to maintain ally with Spain. The Ming Empire's navy could still escort Spanish merchant ships by the way.

The Governor of New Spain was lost and signed the Treaty of Central America, which means that Spain's rule for a century in Central America was officially over.

The only thing that made the Spanish arrive was fortunately that their main producer of Geranuo, Peru, and Cuba, the sugar producer, were preserved.

In the month after the Central American Treaty, the California colonies successively received the Spanish colonies in the northern part of the Panama Isthmus.

The entire West Coast, except for the Peru region in South America, still have Spanish strongholds, other areas have been controlled by the California colonies.

At the same time, the Magellan Strait also fell into the hands of the California colony. The control of this throat means that if any country's navy wants to reach the west coast, it must walk the Drake Strait where winds and waves are high and storms are frequent.

At the same time, the Spanish also received the Spanish mints in Central America. The Spanish could seize about 500 tons of silver in Central America every year, which is more than 16 million taels. At the same time, there were more than 30 tons of gold and tens of millions of taels of silver. In addition, there were some gems. The smuggled gold and silver could not be counted, but the quantity must be quite large.

In later Mexico, more than 2,000 tons of silver were produced each year, which was equivalent to 16% of the world's silver. At this time, the output of mineral sites run by the Spaniards was still lower.

By conquering Central America, you can export more than 30 million taels of precious metal mining income to the local area every year, and other tax revenue will be more.

California Governor Liu Yuan took a boat to Panama. While dispatching troops to defend the attacks and captured strongholds, he dispatched managers to manage the strongholds and ordered the strengthening of port defense.

Some pirates had already rushed to the ports of the West Coast to scramble the California colonies, which aroused the colonies' vigilance, and all ports strengthened their defenses.

At the same time, most of the frigates of the American fleet were scattered out to protect merchant ships and clear out pirates everywhere.

At this time, the family is big and the business is different from before. In the past, they were able to concentrate their efforts to deal with the enemy, but now they are obviously unable to act like that anymore. Merchant ships must be protected by frigates.
