Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 215: One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight

After attending the meeting held by Lopez Jr., after returning to Rio Grande do Sul, Li Mingyuan immediately switched to the state of domestic affairs, and time was gradually passing away.

At the end of September 1869, Yixing Church master of Yixing Church, Malay Peninsula, was accidentally chopped to death by a Chinese under his opponent in a fighting. Five days later, the master of the Grand Church was killed by his traitors, and Yixing Church and Grand Church were left behind. The power was quickly taken over by a newly-rising Chinese gang called Taiping Club, and Taiping became the largest Chinese gang in Nanyang.

After the Taiping Society officially appeared in the Nanyang Chinese circle, it quickly expanded its sphere of influence. It annexed more than 30 Chinese gangs. There were also more than 30 gangs secretly controlled in the Malay Peninsula. In just half a year, the Taiping Club The unification of the Chinese forces in the Malay Peninsula has been completed, and in the name of more than 60 Chinese gangs under their control, they have distributed personnel to Thailand, Annan, the East Indies, and other regions to establish local branches of the Taiping Society.

On October 5, 1869, Huang Shengui, who received support from more than two hundred Chinese congregations, took the initiative to retaliate against Ruishengtang. At this time, Ruishengtang had more than 500 gang members due to its power expansion over the past two months. Ruishengtang With the number advantage, he defeated Huang Shengui again. On October 12, the South Rio Grande ’s representative to the United States personally went to San Francisco to meet with Huang Shengui and had an hour-long conversation with Huang Shengui. Two days later, Huang Shengui announced that he would join Taiping and reorganize Hong Shuntang into Taiping ’s US branch, after Huang Shengui announced the reorganization of the gang, Rui Shengtang, who thought he had the opportunity, launched a blow against Huang Shengui in the name of the Hongmen renegade, but was attacked by a group of unknown Chinese militants. Rui Shengtang The congregation lost most of it, and the owner of the congregation was also wounded by the opponent in a fight, and died three days later.

After Liu Xing's death, the remaining 200-odd Chinese congregation feared retaliation by Huang Shengui, or they would turn to other Hongmen gangs. Either dissolve and leave San Francisco on their own, and with Rui Shengtang's end as a comparison, other Hongmen Tang did not dare to blame and crack down on Huang Shengui's other investment portal, and watched Huang Shengui's strength from the outside. Step by step.

In early 1870, Rio Grande do Sul borrowed from the experience of introducing Chinese workers with Peru and reached agreements with the US, Canada, and Australian authorities on the repatriation of Chinese workers.

The government of Rio Grande do Sul has appointed Huang Shengui, Huang Liangpu and Long Xingbang as representatives of immigration affairs in the United States, Canada, and Australia, and is fully responsible for the immigration affairs of local Chinese workers.

Among them, Huang Liangpu was the nephew of Huang Shengui's family. After staying in the United States, Huang Shentian recommended Huang Liangpu to South Rio Grande's immigration representative in Canada. Wang Youtian received approval from Li Mingyuan after reporting to the local government, and Huang Liangpu laid down in Canada with Huang Shengui. The foundation of the company was quickly opened, and in February 1870, the first two thousand Chinese workers were transported to Rio Grande do Sul. Although the number of Chinese in Canada is not comparable to the number of Chinese in the United States and mainland China, because Canada is closer to South America, the cost of obtaining immigration from Canada is much lower than directly immigrating from the mainland. Therefore, Li Mingyuan also attaches great importance to Canadian immigration work and has quickly launched Huang Liangpu in Canada. Chinese labor immigrants are also satisfied.

Long Hongbang is the leader of the Chinese gang in New South Wales, Australia. The local prestige is very high, and it is worthy of Chinese workers. Moreover, Long Hongbang himself was extremely disgusted with the Qing government and continued to propagate anti-Qing claims after he was overseas. Later, he led his hands to Zhong Shao. Xue Yizhong and others established the Anti-Qing Revolutionary Organization together. They were the first overseas Chinese to engage in revolutionary work.

When the representative of Rio Grande do Sul found Long Hongbang, Long Hongbang was discussing with his subordinates Zhong Shao, Xue Yizhong and others to protest against the Chinese government ’s anti-Chinese policy. The representative of Rio Grande do Sul promised to properly place Chinese workers and give each Chinese worker Long Hongbang's behavior was really moved by Long Hongbang. After more than half a month of both parties, he saw with his own eyes that South Rio Grande and the Australian government reached an agreement to resettle Chinese workers. Long Hongbang resolutely led his men to join South Rio Grande and became South Rio Glenn's head of Chinese labor in Australia.

In July 1870, the Franco-Prussian War still broke out along the inherent inertia of history. Four days after the Franco-Prussian War broke out, Li Mingyuan personally issued a general mobilization order to recruit all the police and reserve militia near Xinjing. One week later, the assembly group was completed. 80,000 troops began to advance in northern Argentina in batches, and another 10,000 regular troops and 20,000 guards were stationed in the Santa Catarina border area to guard against the threat of the Brazilian army.

On August 2, just before the French-Prussian war had been separated, the first large-scale encounter between Argentina and the National Defense Forces occurred. Argentina's 4,000 encirclement forces fought with the 10,000 National Defense Forces. Two hours later, the National Defense Forces follow-up forces Arrived on the battlefield and quickly destroyed 4,000 Argentine troops.

The news that 4,000 Argentine troops were annihilated reached Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital. The president of Argentina declared war directly against Rio Grande do Sul. Three days later, Uruguay, persecuted by the Argentine government, also declared war against Rio Grande do Sul. .

On August 7, a coalition of 60,000 Argentine and 10,000 Uruguay troops headed for the northern provinces. At the beginning of the war, the war was slipping in an unregulated direction.

The response of the Argentine government exceeded Li Mingyuan's expectations. After receiving a total of 70,000 troops from Argentina and Uruguay to the front line, Li Mingyuan quickly adjusted his deployment and expanded the scope of mobilization under the guarantee of the minimum manpower requirements of Rio Grande do Sul. All 100,000 immigrant workers from the immigrants were recruited into the local army for the task of homeland defense. At the same time, the second-line troops released from the local defense task were put into the border area between Rio Grande do Sul and Uruguay to prevent the Argentine and Uruguay forces from leaving Rio Grande do Sul The south launched a lateral attack.

Rio Grande do Sul was a risky adventure under the strong reaction of the Argentine government. On August 12, when the IDF and Argentine forces were deadlocked on the front, the Brazilian empire suddenly announced an aggressive act against Rio Grande do Sul The strike was carried out. One day later, the Brazilian army stationed in Curitiba launched a violent attack on Dongsheng County (Joinvia). For three days, the Brazilian army successively broke through the outer positions of Dongsheng County and the first and second lines of defense. The vanguard troops approached the core area of ​​Dongsheng County and formed a huge threat to the Dongsheng County Naval Base.

Dongsheng County is the former capital of Santa Catarina State in Brazil and the core support point of the National Defense Forces in the northern region. Once the Brazilian army breaks through the defense forces and occupies Dongsheng County, there will be only between Dongsheng County and Xinjing City. Xiahe County (Florianopolis) is a barrier, but the Brazilian Navy can cross Xinghe County and threaten the safety of the new capital from the sea.

Dongsheng County's garrison's help telegram reached the new capital. With the opposition of many generals, Li Mingyuan insisted on deploying the 8,000 troops responsible for the security of the new capital to the front, leaving only 2,000 field troops and 7,000 temporary formations. Chinese laborers defend the new capital.

The 8,000 Field Army is the last strategic reserve of Li Mingyuan. After sending out 8,000 troops, Li Mingyuan stayed at the National Defense Forces Headquarters and kept an eye on the frontline battle situation.

Time passed forward according to the established trajectory. At the end of August, the reinforcements arrived in Dongsheng County to withstand the attack of the Brazilian army. On August 27, Lopez Jr. of the Paraguayan Kingdom issued a bulletin to persuade Nanli. Ogran, Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay stopped the war and settled the dispute through negotiation.

On August 29, the main force of the National Defense Forces and the Brazilian Navy broke out in the offshore area of ​​Dongsheng County. Two of the National Defense Forces ’main iron armored ships sank two, seriously injured one, and six sail ships sank. The Brazilian Navy purchased three from the French and the United States. The warships frequently suffered failures during the battle, and were eventually sunk by the defense navy. Only two iron armored ships successfully escaped the battlefield, and the sails were completely lost.

The Dongsheng offshore war was an important turning point in this war. The Defense Forces navy defeated the Brazilian Imperial Navy at the cost of nearly half of its main force loss, destroyed the Brazilian navy's ability to threaten the rear of the National Defense Force from the sea, and insisted on defending the Dongsheng County defender to the main force. Victory creates opportunity.

The victory of the Dongsheng naval battle eased the crisis of the National Defense Forces, and on August 31, 1870, a ten thousand unit suddenly appeared behind the Argentine main force, indicating the dawn of victory.

Through the rugged mountains of southern Argentina and into the rear of the Argentine Forces, the National Defense Forces are a surprise soldier prepared by Li Mingyuan. The 10,000 National Defense Forces use newly-produced bicycles as a means of travel, detouring more than 800 miles a week, occupying the Argentine troops in one fell swoop. A rear supply base was set up and blocked the path of Argentine troops' retreat.

On September 1, 1870, Argentina deployed 20,000 troops from the front to attack the rear and was occupied by a supply base, but was repelled by the 10,000 National Defense Forces.

On September 2, 1870, the French emperor on the European continent officially surrendered to the Prussian army. Five days later, the main forces of Argentina and Uruguay, which had severed ammunition and logistical supplies, were completely defeated by the all-out attack of the National Defense Forces. Two days later, the Argentine coalition commander surrendered and the National Defense Forces obtained Decisive victory of 10,000 enemies and 50,000 captives.

After the annihilation of the main Argentine troops, the National Defense Forces swept all the way south, not only occupying the five northern provinces of Argentina designated by Li Mingyuan, but also occupying an additional two-fifths of the land in Santiago del Estero and Santa Fe provinces.

If not restricted by the scattered forces, the front of the National Defense Forces is likely to reach the Argentine capital.

After the end of the decisive battle, the scale of victory quickly turned to the side of the National Defense Forces. At this time, seeing the opportunity, Lopez quickly joined the battlefield. On the one hand, he sent troops to occupy the Misiones Province of Argentina. The army launched a sudden attack. Within a month, the occupation of the empty state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, forced Lopez Jr. to withdraw the army that attacked Rio Grande do Sul in order to prevent further attacks by the Paraguayan army.

The South American War, which took place in 1870, showed a chaotic situation because of the drastic changes in the European structure and the successive joining of Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, and Bolivia.

After the annihilation of the main Argentine army, the Argentine president was executed by angry military personnel. Urquisa, Ferna, and the remnants of the Argentine president stopped after the National Defense Forces stopped in northern Santa Fe Province ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The peaceful coexistence quickly fell into the battle for control of the central government, while Uruguay was defeated by the National Defense Forces and occupied about 60,000 square kilometers of land. White domestic people fled to other places because of fears of the National Defense Force's attacks.

The IDF needs time to digest the newly occupied territories, and the forces in Argentina have not yet completed their unification. Therefore, although the two parties are still in a state of war, neither side is willing to consume their forces to continue the war. Therefore, the war between the IDF and Argentina It became a sit-in mode. The two armies were stationed in the control area. Except for the small-scale conflicts that often erupted, there has been no large-scale warfare.

Although Li Mingyuan's determination to launch the war against Argentina has experienced many severe tests in the middle, he finally achieved victory, expanding the area under the control of the National Defense Force from 403,000 square kilometers before the war to 1.117 million square kilometers, making it an important territorial power in South America. The newly annexed six provinces of northern Argentina, Santa Fe Province, 50,000 square kilometers of land, and Uruguay's 60,000 square kilometers of land have a total of more than 200,000 whites. With the expansion of Rio Grande do Sul, it is very difficult to adopt a blind eviction policy. It is easy to cause British interference. Therefore, for the whites in the newly occupied area, Li Mingyuan does not intend to move them for the time being. Instead, he will take targeted policies after the Chinese have an absolute advantage, forcing some whites to leave, and then be willing to be reduced to Chinese. Of white people assimilated, using warm water to cook frogs to solve the problem of white people. Find this site Please search for "" or enter the URL:
