Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 75: Encounter with Bolivian indigenous people

Thank you to Kirito Tongzhong for the support of Tianjiao coming.

At noon, the warm sun shined through the dense foliage on the soldiers resting under the tree, making people feel a warmth.

Not far from the firewood where food is being grilled, the horses unloading their saddles are eating wild grass leisurely.

I was probably too tired. A cavalry lay under the tree with confused eyes, and soon entered the dreamland with a slight snore.

A soldier walked quietly to the sleeping soldier, whispered to him, right finger deep into the woods.

十几 About 300 meters away, a dozen alpacas are grazing.

A dozen alpacas dispelled the cavalry's drowsiness, beckoned to wake up more than thirty soldiers in the platoon, and raised their guns to approach the alpaca carefully.

They advanced less than two hundred meters, and the grazing alpaca found them. Under the leadership of a large alpaca, a dozen alpacas turned and ran towards the deep woods.

The hussar platoon leader stopped the soldiers who were about to fire. First, he chased in the direction of the alpaca, and the remaining soldiers followed the platoon leader.

Alpacas do not act as fast as wild antelopes. After running a kilometer, the cavalry platoon looks at them and catches up with them.

At this moment, the cavalry platoon leader running ahead found an Indian with a bow and arrow under the opposite tree,

The cavalry platoon leader who experienced the test of war felt a dangerous breath, reacted instinctively, flung forward, and lay on the ground,

Then a bow and arrow was shot firmly on the tree behind the cavalry platoon leader.

"There is an enemy." Dodging an arrow shot in the woods, the cavalry platoon commander warned the soldiers behind.

More than one Indian was ambush in the woods. After the first arrow was shot, more than a dozen bows and arrows were shot at the soldiers behind.

I was warned by the cavalry platoon leader that most of the soldiers hid behind the big trees around them in time. Only two soldiers with slow response were injured by bows and arrows.

From the density of bows and arrows, the cavalry platoon leader judged that there were only a dozen Indians in ambush.

Alas, he gestured to the soldiers behind him, and then more than 20 soldiers spread out on both sides, leaving seven or eight soldiers to shoot and attract the other's attention while he approached the other carefully.

Twenty-eight muskets fired at the same time, suppressing the Indian offensive. They were hiding behind the woods and did not dare to attack the Chinese soldiers. At this time, more than 20 soldiers on both sides began to form a semi-fan-shaped encirclement of the Indians.

The Indians in the woods noticed that the situation was not good, and immediately left the hiding tree and ran towards the mountain behind the woods. The Indians leaving the tree cover revealed their backs.

The Hussars platoon leader aimed at the nearest Indian and was ready to shoot a shot. When he remembered the command of the Cavalry Brigade, he lowered his muzzle slightly and hit a shot on the Indian's thigh.

"Be careful shooting, try your best to catch alive," the cavalry platoon leader opened his gun and shouted at the soldier who pursued it.

Because of the order of the cavalry platoon leader, more than thirty soldiers were more cautious when firing, which caused the Indians to run halfway.

Four Indians were shot and wounded by Chinese soldiers, and five were surrounded.

The surrounded Indians wore tight-fitting jackets, trousers that were just over the knees, and a cloak made of wool (a cloak is a cloak-like coat). A coarse cloth belt was worn around the waist and held in his hand. With a bow and arrow, watch the Chinese soldiers alertly.

"Why did you attack us?" The cavalry platoon leader asked loudly.

But these Indians obviously didn't understand what he said,

He just stared at the Chinese soldier with hatred.

Seeing that they could not understand what they said, the Hussar platoon leader no longer said more, and ordered the Chinese soldiers to raise their guns to prepare for firing, forcing them to surrender.

The Indians were ruled by the Spanish for more than 300 years. When they saw the fierce expression of the cavalry platoon leader and the soldiers who raised their guns on all sides, they knew that if they did not surrender, they would definitely be finished. Tie yourself.

After the battle was resolved, the Chinese soldiers did not forget to lift the two alpacas wounded in the fighting back.

The gunfire of Tatar Chinese soldiers and Indians awakened Li Mingyuan who had just been lying down.

明 Li Mingyuan stood up from the tent, ran outside and asked the guard, "Where is the sound of gunfire?"

"Report Shiko, it's north."

To the north of it was the cavalry brigade's camp. Was the cavalry brigade attacked? Li Mingyuan flashed a question in his heart.

However, the security work of the Chinese Independent Army has always been very strict. The enemy cannot quietly touch the Chinese Independent Army camp, and the sound of gunfire is sparse. It does not look like it was attacked by a large group of enemy forces. Could it be that the soldier accidentally fired by accident?

明 Li Mingyuan thought of many possibilities in a flash.

"Alarm forces, find out what happened!"

"Yes" the guard quickly rode towards the cavalry brigade camp.

The news from the cavalry brigade quickly came and learned that nine Indians had been captured. Li Mingyuan called Zhao Youde, who had lived in South America for a lifetime, and asked him to talk with these captured Indians and find out that they attacked the Chinese Army reasons.

"Son, they are Aymara people in Bolivia. They said that our soldiers robbed their alpacas before they hit back."

Zhao Youde reported to Li Mingyuan after talking with several Indians.

"So, are those alpacas raised by them?"

"Yes ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Shizi, the Aymara people used to be nomads in the Andes. They used to drive alpaca and herds to graze on the plateaus of Peru and Bolivia. Alpaca in our army is part It was acquired through a deal with the Aymara people in Peru. "

Bolivia is an area unfamiliar to Li Mingyuan and the Chinese Independent Army.

In southern Peru, because Chinese workers have lived there for several years or even ten years, they can quickly occupy various regions by knowing the local area.

Bolivia is different. Bolivia has the highest percentage of Indians in South America. Indigenous Indians make up half of the country ’s total population.

And unlike the Peruvian Indians who created the Inca civilization, there are many Indian indigenous peoples in Bolivia, more than forty people large and small,

These nations have a low level of civilization, and even after occupying the majority of the country ’s population, they still suffer the oppression of the descendants of European immigrants and the mestizo mixed race after independence,

Until the reforms of Bolivia in the late twentieth century, Indian talents acquired their own land.

In a way, Li Mingyuan sympathizes with the Indians in Bolivia. They are simple and gentle, and have the same hardworking characteristics as the Chinese. Of course, hardworking and non-aggressive characteristics also lead to the fate of the entire country of Bolivia.

In previous lives, Bolivia first lost the estuary of the Pacific Ocean in the Guano War, and then was defeated by Paraguay in the Chaco War. Both battles lost, and even lost their land. Bolivia gradually became the bottom country in South America. .

明 Li Mingyuan didn't want to bully these Indians who didn't have much oil and water, and ordered Lang Zhong in the army to treat them with wounds, and then let them go back.
