Rebirth of South America as King

不久 Shortly after Li Mingyuan returned to the tent, he received another report from the soldiers: "Three kilometers away from the camp, five or six hundred Indians are preparing to cross over and come to the Chinese Independent Army."

"Did those nine Indians return?"

"Lang Zhonggang just treated them and he hasn't released them back yet."

"The Indians crossing the river should be their tribe. If you go and bring those nine Indians, we will meet them."

The Aymara people are the largest number of indigenous peoples in Bolivia. Their weapons and equipment are inferior, and they are not the opponents of the Chinese Independence Army.

However, it is not a wise choice to provoke them. They can't fight the Chinese Independent Army, but they can cause trouble for the Chinese Independent Army in the process of moving in. It is a headache to delay the speed of the Chinese Independent Army. Therefore, Li Mingyuan handled it carefully, trying not to make the Indians hostile.

五 Five or six hundred Indians set up a raft by the river two or three kilometers away from the grassland. They were wary of observing armed soldiers on the opposite side, and they dared not cross the river easily.

"Lao, please take them to the middle of the river to talk to the Indians, explaining that this conflict is a complete misunderstanding."

"Shizi, their people were injured, and the alpacas raised were lost. Did we give them something to compensate?" Zhao Youde respectfully said.

印第安 Indians in Bolivia have a hard life. A dozen alpaca may be all their possessions. Without their own alpaca, it is difficult for those Indians to survive.

Bullying these poor Indians was not what Li Mingyuan wanted to do. After listening to Zhao Youde, Li Mingyuan nodded and agreed: "They still have primitive bows and arrows in their hands. It seems that the local government has strict control over them. Thirty muskets seized during the battle were selected and given to them, and they must be satisfied with these gifts. "

After making arrangements, Zhao Youde took three soldiers on two rafts, drove to the middle of the river, and then stopped.

The Indians on the opposite side saw the companions on the boat and understood Zhao Youde's meaning. They also sent a small raft to the center of the river.

When the two rafts met, Zhao Youde conveyed Li Mingyuan's meaning to the other side, and then the Indians on the raft returned to the shore and murmured to a middle-aged Indian on the shore.

Middle-aged Indians should be their leader. After listening to the report, they discussed with a few old people around for a while, then nodded frequently.

After discussion by the Tatar Indians, the small raft sailed towards the middle of the river again.

"Shiko, the Indians agreed to resolve the conflict, and they were satisfied with the guns we sent."

After Xu returned nine Indians, Zhao Youde returned to the shore and reported to Li Mingyuan.

"What's the matter with these furs?" Li Mingyuan pointed at the alpaca fur on the raft.

印第安 "The Indians said that the gifts we gave were very valuable, and their people were treated very well with us, so they gave us these furs as gifts." Zhao Youde explained.

"Shizi, the climate and temperature here vary greatly. These furs can just make a leather coat for your cold protection." Sun Bin said.

Bolivia is located on a plateau, and the temperature is much lower than that of Peru. Many soldiers, because of their thin clothes, have to squeeze together for heating at night.

"No need, give the fur to the weak soldiers." Li Mingyuan waved and refused.

不 There are not many cold places in Bolivia. The reason why the Chinese Independence Army suddenly felt the weather became cold.

On the one hand, it is a bit unsuitable to leave the hot area of ​​Peru and enter the Bolivian plateau, and because the Chinese Independent Army is located in the southern part of Lake Titicaca, which is affected by the surrounding high-altitude climate. As long as you leave this area, the climate will be Much better.

I sent the Indians away, and the Chinese Independence Army set off to continue on their way.

From entering Bolivia to Sucre, the capital of Bolivia, the water sources of Lake Titicaca and Lake Pobo, which originated, form dozens of intermittent rivers.

The Luan River passes through a densely populated area of ​​Bolivia, and the Chinese Independent Army migrates along this road.

Trianga, a tributary formed by Lake Titicaca,

Here, the reconnaissance battalion, the vanguard of the Chinese Independent Army, encountered the first blockade into Bolivia.

More than 300 Bolivian soldiers descend from the boat and stand in front of the detection camp.

"Zhao Erlang, tell the Bolivian soldiers blocking the road, we are not malicious. I hope they are not nervous."

The head of the investigation camp instructed Zhao Youde, the son of the guide.

二 Zhao Erlang put down his weapon and spoke Bolivian soldiers who were blocking the way in localized Spanish.

"Bang," a bullet hit Zhao Erlang in front of him, and a sudden attack scared him and jumped up suddenly.

The Bolivian soldier opposite him pointed at Zhao Erlang and laughed, as if looking at a ridiculous monkey.

Indians are uncivilized savages in the eyes of white European descendants. Whites in La Paz Province, Bolivia, have even worse attitudes towards Indians. In addition to depriving Indians of their land, they also occasionally massacre Indians.

10In October 1861, the then military commander of La Paz slaughtered hundreds of local Indians in the name of removing his predecessors.

When Mariano, who came to power in the name of opposing tyranny, came to power, he oppressed the Indians even more. He followed the American strategy and drove the Indians to harsh environments. Then he sent his confidants to various places to suppress them. Opposition to their own rule.

As an important city after Sucre, the capital of Bolivia, La Paz is very important for the rule of Mariano. Therefore, he sent his younger brother, Pali Vian, as the new military commander of La Paz, responsible for the military deployment of La Paz.

Guingawi was under the direct jurisdiction of La Paz province. More than 300 Bolivian soldiers were relatives of Balivian brought from Sucre.

They had a musket in hand, and their weapons and equipment belonged to the elite troops in Bolivia.

The scout battalion's vanguard had only more than fifty men. The scout soldiers riding high-headed horses had initially caused them a certain degree of deterrence, but saw that they sent an Indian to negotiate with themselves.

The confidence of the Bolivian soldiers recovered instantly. What could the Indians do as a cavalry that was crushed by them and the Indians.

Noting the provocation of Bolivian soldiers, more than 50 soldiers in the investigation camp were all enraged. Although Zhao Erlang looks like an Indian outside, after all, he is the escape representative of the Chinese descendants and the Chinese Independent Army. Hit their faces unceasingly.

"Bat Commander, these Bolivian soldiers are too abominable, please hurry up and order!"

The soldiers in the surrounding area were angry.

"Make me quiet." The battalion commander glanced coldly at the restless soldiers and said, "First let Zhao Erlang pull down. If they do n’t know what to do, teach them well ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The soldiers are on the battlefield. Shang can vent his anger, but the commander can't take it easy. Now Zhao Erlang is in the middle of the two soldiers and rashly launched an attack, which may cause Zhao Erlang to sacrifice in advance.

I therefore let Zhao Erlang step down first, which is the current thing to do.

Zhao Erlang stood between the two sides, facing the threat of making fun of the Bolivian soldiers, his heart was angry and angry, but he could not escape for a while.

After the Bolivian soldiers played Zhao Erlang, they took off their muskets and approached the Chinese Independence Army slowly.

二 Zhao Erlang was a bit late after getting back order. If he ran backwards at this time, he would undoubtedly be screened by the Bolivian.

The behavior of Bolivian soldiers clearly transmitted a signal of war, and the reconnaissance battalion commander raised his rifle and made his left hand gesture backwards.

The other soldiers nodded silently, clenched their rifles in their hands, and prepared to charge on horseback.

Bolivians advance to about three hundred meters from the soldiers of the battalion. The reconnaissance battalion yelled and lay down,

Immediately led the cavalry to impact.

二 Zhao Erlang had a month of military training in the Chinese Independent Army. When he heard the words lying down, he immediately lay on the ground subconsciously.

At this time, several shots of "bang" sounded, and the bullet hit not far away from Zhao Erlang.

The Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion charged a hundred meters forward, then turned the horse's head, and more than fifty cavalry were divided into two units, and they were encamped on both sides of the Bolivian soldiers.

Enclosing tactics is one of the basic tactics of cavalry drills. The number of cavalry in the reconnaissance battalion is not large. Direct charge is likely to lead to the annihilation of the entire army. Therefore, the reconnaissance battalion commander adopted a scattered attack strategy to seize the opportunity to knock out Bolivian soldiers on the periphery and The opponent creates psychological pressure, forcing the enemy to retreat.
