Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1955: Principality of Chile

It's just that the Ottoman Empire's counterattack against the Tatars was ineffective, and it didn't cause too much trouble to the Tatars, but they themselves were killed and injured a lot.

This was the case in the Ottoman Empire, Spain, Portugal, Scotland, etc., not to mention the front-line areas such as France, almost every European country was at war with the Tatars.

The war that lasted for many years has already destroyed the living environment of the European region.

Even the Spaniards, who had huge overseas trade profits and colonial profits, and who had always been in the rear, felt great pressure and urgently needed support from the Tang Dynasty.

This marriage is very important to the Kingdom of Spain!

For the Kingdom of Spain, marriage is very important, and for the Tang Dynasty, it is also very important.

Because this means that almost the entire central and southern regions of South America can be completely controlled without fighting.

Among Elizabeth's many dowries, in addition to carrying around 200,000 Tang Yuan of various treasures and even cash, there was also a Principality of Chile.

This Chilean Principality was specially divided by the Kingdom of Spain from the Viceroyalty of Peru, and its area is very large.

In general, it includes Chile, most of Bolivia, Paraguay, and part of Argentina.

If the above regions are connected with the southeastern regions of South America controlled by Datang, that is, parts of Argentina and Uruguay, then they are the central and southern regions of South America.

This is very important for the layout of the Tang Empire in South America.

In recent years, the layout and development of the Datang Empire in South America mainly focused on three aspects.

On the one hand, it controls the waterway and guarantees supplies. Specifically, it is to control some coastal ports to provide supplies for passing merchant ships, and at the same time to control the southern sea channel of South America, including the Strait of Magellan. For this reason, the Tang Dynasty is even in this cold and frozen Tierra del Fuego. A military base was established there.

It is to ensure that Datang's ships can smoothly bypass South America and travel between the Atlantic and Pacific.

This waterway may not be a big deal for European countries and other seafaring countries, but it is very important to Datang, because if Datang wants to cross the Pacific and enter the Atlantic, to go to the eastern coast of South America or the eastern coast of North America, it is necessary to through this channel.

In other words, this is the reason why Datang tried so hard to open a canal in Panama.

The second aspect is the development of agriculture by immigrants, mainly immigrants to develop the plains in southeastern South America, that is, the Argentine Plain and the Uruguay Plain. The geographical and climatic conditions in this area are also very good. The plain area became the second largest immigration point of Datang in the Americas.

The third aspect, this one is a bit special, is to develop and obtain the two major materials of guano and saltpeter in parts of the western coast of South America.

Bird droppings are naturally used as fertilizers for agricultural production. Datang has long started mining bird droppings on various overseas islands and used them for agricultural production. In recent years, the focus of development has been on South America. region, ships are often seen returning to the Empire's homeland laden with guano across the Pacific.

Not to mention saltpeter, it can be said to be the most important raw material for contemporary chemical industry, especially the national defense industry.

Although there are saltpeter mines in Datang's homeland and other overseas territories, it cannot support Datang's large demand for saltpeter. Therefore, in recent years, Datang's demand for saltpeter in South America is very large.

Once the central and southern regions of South America are completely under control, the above three problems can be completely solved.

More importantly, the arrival of Elizabeth made the solution of this problem extremely simple. There was no need to fight, not even to carry out naval artillery diplomacy, or to spend money to buy colonies. People directly brought such a large area as a dowry.

Even for the sake of the Principality of Chile, it is necessary to give Elizabeth enough respect.

The welcome ceremony on the pier was completely based on the specifications set by the Palace Affairs Office. Although the standard ceremony for welcoming concubines in the harem was not as good as that of concubines, it was slightly higher than the usual Zhaoyi.

After stepping on the pier, Elizabeth did not have the hesitation and anxiety that she had before. Under the arrangement of the Palace Affairs Office, she boarded a luxurious carriage marked with the royal dragon pattern on the pier, and then left the pier.

After Elizabeth set foot on the pier and got on the carriage, the huge Spanish embassy to send relatives was also disbanded directly on the spot.

Elizabeth will only bring more than 60 maids to go. Although these 60 maids are all Spanish, as dowry maids, they are actually with Elizabeth, and from now on they will all become Tang people.

But the other dozens of Spanish officials, entourages, and hundreds of knights only appeared when the ceremony was over. After the ceremony, they would go to the barracks specially prepared for them by the Datang military for a temporary rest.

In a few days, there will be special ships to transport them to Chile. These people used to be the embassies of the Spaniards, but from now on, they have become subjects of Elizabeth, and they will serve in Chile and directly. Allegiance to Elizabeth.

In the future, their allegiance will be the prince or princess of Elizabeth and the Son of Heaven!

According to the agreement between the two parties, the Principality of Chile can only be inherited by the descendants of Elizabeth and the Son of God. If Elizabeth has no children, the inheritance of the area will be reclaimed by the Kingdom of Spain.

But this situation will definitely not happen, because even if Elizabeth has no children, Philip II has other daughters, even if there is no daughter of the right age, but there are still granddaughters and the like, and they can directly marry the Holy Son or say Marry the Tang prince or another prince.

In short, this Chilean Principality is out of the palm of the Tang Dynasty!

In this case ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Datang has long been ready to set up a ruling institution in Chile, but in order to show respect for Elizabeth.

In Chile, there were no traditional administrative agencies of the Tang Dynasty such as the Governor's District, the Governor's Yamen, and the Affairs Yamen. Instead, they continued to rule in the name of the Principality of Chile, and the Government of the Principality of Chile was established to deal with the affairs of the Chilean region.

After all, strictly speaking, this place is not part of the Tang Dynasty's territory, but an independent duchy, a private duchy belonging to Elizabeth. You directly turn other people's duchy into a province, which is not suitable.

However, the specific administrative management model will still be the same as other overseas territories of Datang, except that the Principality Government has the authority to freely develop local internal affairs, such as economic development.

When Elisabeth's knights and other entourage were waiting to go to Chile, she also got on the royal train arranged by the Palace Affairs Office and went directly from the naval base to Jinling City.
