Can I bring a woman with me to the war?
Of course you can. The overseas expedition has special circumstances and can be handled on a special basis.
It's just that fighting overseas is very hard. You have to fight white-skinned monkeys during the day and ocean horses at night...
Many Ocean horses looked down upon the soldiers of the expeditionary force at first, thinking that they were just Incas with lighter skin.
The local Incas were despised by them and could only engage in the most humble occupations.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force were regarded as distant relatives of the local indigenous people, and they were nothing more than using despicable means to achieve success.
But the Ming Dynasty King’s Master used his own actions, especially his strong strength, to prove that he was not just a fighter!
Everyone has been hungry for almost half a year, and now is the time to show off.
This is what Jiexuan wants. Otherwise, how can it produce the proper deterrence it deserves?
Zheng Shao and Zheng Ju had been very depressed about Jie Xuan's order strictly prohibiting the entire army from playing with women. If Zheng Guangying hadn't suppressed it, they would have argued with him.
Now that I think about it, that guy is simply more professional than me!
No wonder Zheng Guangying said that Jiexuan is a genius. This is completely a long-planned plan to accumulate wealth and gain wealth!
If the whole army were to play all the way, they would not be able to conquer these fat and strong Yangma horses in front of them.
There’s nothing to say. They’ve got clever tricks, so you can’t accept it!
Zheng Shao and Zheng Ju are also golden partners. The former plays a role with a thirty-year-old lady, and the latter gains the lady's fifteen-year-old daughter.
So in the evening, four people can...
When fighting on home soil, if such things were spread, you would be reprimanded by your superiors.
If the same thing happens when fighting overseas, it will be a good story!
Jiexuan and Zheng Guangying were completely too lazy to manage this. As long as all ministries acted according to the plan and avoided making mistakes and causing heavy casualties, they could enhance the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty and benefit the soldiers.
As for whether to "sacrifice one's life for the country" at night, it is all voluntary...
It doesn't matter if the ocean horses are not enough, there are still local horses to supplement the numbers for ordinary soldiers.
Although the local horse is not as good as the foreign horse in terms of skin color and appearance, it is worse than the foreign horse in terms of hard work and hard work. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a free female slave.
This is the result of Poirot's enlightenment. Dedicate your body and mind to the God-given army and let the God-given army drive out the Spanish invaders. This is the obligation of every woman without a husband or boyfriend.
To put it bluntly, if you want to improve your life, then serve the God-given army.
Not only can your food be greatly improved, but your body and mind can be greatly satisfied.
The earth horses did not understand the God-given army. Being able to eat ice shocked the earth horses. This was a rare thing.
Jiexuan and Zheng Guangying took the largest supply ship away because they were going to Trinity City, which is rich in beef.
Because Zheng Shao and Zheng Ju's troops were fighting near the equator, they obtained the smaller supply ship.
There were a bunch of refrigerators installed on the ship, and since the boilers burned coal, the raw materials were extremely easy to obtain.
The desire of the entire Marine Brigade to eat popsicles can be greatly satisfied, two popsicles per person per day.
Many soldiers shared popsicles with their women, which naturally made the foreign horses and native horses very happy.
The mother-daughter pair harvested by Zheng Shao and Zheng Ju ate no less than ten cups of ice cream every day. This was the special treatment given to the women of generals.
As for their husband and father, they had already remembered them before, and that was enough. It was hard to tell where they died, because the artillery fire had no eyes.
War is so cruel, only the victor can give sympathy, the loser can only seek the chance to survive, that's all.
If they are unwilling to serve their new masters, they will end up like those prisoners of war. After boarding the ship, they will be sent to work in distant mines.
Women's treatment may be slightly better, but they still have to work as laundry workers or farm wives.
Rather than that, it’s better to take advantage of it before your appearance fades with age...
There is nothing wrong with doing this, because all the Spanish women who followed the army north did so.
Can you keep your virginity by boarding a ship?
It would be too naive to think so!
The sailors on the ship are more eager to possess themselves than the soldiers on the shore!
On the shore, if you can at least walk to the river, you can take a shower. On the boat, you can't imagine the terrible consequences.
Few of the captured Dayangma take the initiative to run away. Even if they find nearby defenders, they have to start from the beginning.
If they were captured by the natives on the way, they might be killed directly, which was unacceptable to them.
Just like what Zheng Ju said to the Yangma horses through an interpreter before setting off.
The era when South America belonged to Spain has passed. If you don't believe it, you can leave on your own.
Some Yangma really didn't believe what Zheng Ju said and thought they could really run away.
As a result, he was captured by Poirot's men who had been waiting outside for a long time. The end was obvious...
Zheng Ju was right, Zheng Jun would not stop them, but he did not say that the natives could not stop them!
These big horses just need to be taken care of. After a good education, they will become docile.
According to Emperor Haojing's introduction, the Menggu people used this method to conquer the fair-skinned and beautiful Slavic Ocean Horse!
Hundreds of years have passed, but this trick still works, but the target is slightly different.
"Old Port" as the name suggests, as long as it is a coastal port, facing the powerful Ming fleet, it is only a matter of time before it is captured.
Before that, the ships here had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the defenders who had a sense of luck.
Obviously, Zheng Ju and Zheng Shao did not intend to let this place go.
It doesn't matter if the boat runs away, there are still people there!
A defender can have at least ten silver coins on him, right?
Five hundred white-skinned monkeys have five thousand silver coins, plus the property of the merchants and officials in the city, it is enough for several tribes to perform a tooth sacrifice!
The two of them looked at the captured map again and felt that the entire northern part of South America could be used to make teeth for themselves...
After all, I haven’t done this kind of thing for a long time, and now I’m a little excited when I pick it up again!
Although the defenders also deployed some heavy artillery on the city walls on the shore, they were obviously unable to compete with the entire fleet.
Hundreds of warships set up their posture, and just bombarded one side with fire for half an hour, and the other side was bombarded to the point of crying.
To be precise, any city that is coastal and connected to a port will definitely not be able to defend itself against this level of shelling.
The two asked their soldiers to move folding chairs, ate ice cream served by Ocean Horse, and leisurely watched the grand artillery bombardment below on a hilltop.
There are only about a thousand garrison troops in the Old Port, which is still the scale after increasing the number of troops, supplemented by about two thousand indigenous servants.
It is not a good thing to have too many overseas territories. If you want to hold on to every important place, you need to send more troops, which means a huge amount of money will be consumed.
Old Port and Quito are already two strategic towns in northern South America. Even so, the total number of defenders is only 2,000.
Lima is the largest city in South America. It is the seat of taxation and the governor's palace. In addition, it has been attacked before, and the garrison strength is only as high as 5,000.
There are five small cities between the Old Port and Lima, with troops ranging from one hundred to two or three hundred. Unfortunately, they have all been captured, and the defenders were captured even if they did not die.
Quito was not far from the old port, but its defenders did not dare to reinforce the old port for fear of being ambushed halfway.
This was also thanks to Poirot, who had used the secret skills given by Jie Xuan to ambush the Spaniards many times.
If it weren't for the fact that the fighting ability of the indigenous troops was so disrespectful, Poirot would not have been reduced to a quasi-beggar before.
The Spanish defenders in Quito were not stupid. There was only one possibility for the Old Port to be attacked, and that was an attack from the sea.
Do the natives have warships?
of course not!
So there is only one possibility, that is, the yellow-skinned monkey fleet that attacked Lima before is here again!
Even so, what can they do?
More and more Spaniards, especially soldiers, know the power of ironclads.
One ironclad ship can easily destroy ten of the largest wooden warships, but what about ten, twenty, or thirty?
Even if the entire empire assembled five hundred of the best wooden warships, they would be completely defeated by thirty ironclad ships.
The navy can only take advantage of the return of the yellow-skinned monkey to regain control of the sea on the west coast of America.
When the fleet of yellow-skinned monkeys comes back, what else can the empire's fleet do?
If you can't beat them again and again, and if you don't run away as soon as possible, then you will have to feed the fish with both the boat and the people...
Due to the fierce bombardment and the lack of desire of the defenders to fight, it took only one day for Zheng's army to capture the old port.
The rest is the time for the soldiers to scrape the land, and the natives can also drink soup.
There were also many Yangma in the city. When one of them fell, they all fell into Zheng Jun's pocket.
As a result, after some screening, those who are old, ugly and fat can be given to the indigenous people to enjoy.
The remaining foreign horses and beautiful native horses can be used to boost the morale of the troops.
The next target is Quito, but Zheng Shao and Zheng Ju discussed it and they also formulated a small goal.
I heard from the indigenous guide that Panama is very rich because there is an isthmus connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
This means that commerce will be very developed. The two of them also heard about this from Zheng Guangying, so they planned to go and take a look.
If you have time, fight all the way.
Otherwise, just take a boat and kill them directly.
It’s hard to come to America. How could you miss such a rich place?
According to the map, there are about ten cities along the way.
If one city scrapes 5,000 silver coins, it will be 50,000 silver coins.
Maybe we can also harvest a few graceful and beautiful ocean horses, perfect!
What the Spaniards did to the Incas back then, the Ming Dynasty Master now does, but with the former!
The troops of Zheng Shao and Zheng Ju ate popsicles, hugged foreign horses and local horses, and hummed little songs, running rampant in northern South America...
At the same time, the troops of Zheng Jiaqi and Zheng Haiying were waging conquests in the area south of Lima.
Jiexuan did not equip it with a supply ship. Firstly, only two supply ships were provided. Secondly, the ultimate goal of the ministry was to produce saltpeter mining areas!
With massive amounts of saltpeter, will there still be a shortage of ice? ? ?
The two men led their troops out of Lima and passed through large and small cities and strongholds, about a dozen of them.
But now, those signpost-shaped places should all be in ruins!
Since the final target was a saltpeter mine, the fleet did not need to worry about running out of gunpowder.
What's more, the chance of a naval battle is extremely slim. What the fleet has been looking forward to for a long time is what they get in exchange for the Spanish's cowardice.
Even though the fleets led by Zheng Jiaqi and Zheng Haiying were all wooden warships, and the only ironclad ship was a hospital ship, no Spanish warship dared to take the initiative to fight.
Enemy ships encountered at sea are all unknown and have thrown themselves into a trap, so they are not considered battles at all, and can only be considered as a battle at best.
These days, Zheng Jiaqi and Zheng Haiying are really as close as brothers. They eat, live and play together, and have a lot of fun with a group of ocean horses...
Of course, there was also a lot of money to be made. The marines and indigenous troops cooperated with the fleet to sweep along the coastline, and the land was scraped smoothly!
They paid no attention to the inland cities, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, they quickly captured the cities and captured the territory, and then insisted on heading south until they reached the saltpeter mining area.
It would be better if they could add more copper ore. Anyway, the ships assigned to them by Zheng Guangying were all empty. As long as they could be loaded and transported back smoothly, they could cash out directly.
Saltpeter ore and copper ore are both easy to find, as they are priceless mineral deposits and are clearly marked on the Spanish military maps.
What Jiexuan arranged for Zheng Shao and Zheng Ju, as well as Zheng Jiaqi and Zheng Haiying were all real and fat jobs.
It's just that the former can reach all the way to the Isthmus of Panama, and the latter can reach the mining areas of Chile. The focus of fertilizer is different.
After seeing the situation in the saltpeter mine and some discussion, Zheng Jiaqi and Zheng Haiying decided to go to the distant copper mine first.
After all, copper is money. If you can transport back two hundred ships or even more ore at a time, you will be prosperous.
Before Jiexuan's fleet returned here and arrived here, what could be smelted was smelted locally and there was no time to ship it directly.
The ore shipped must be screened, and high-quality copper ore will be selected first, so that it is more cost-effective.
This is not called greed, this is called shrewdness. After all, no one in this world has trouble with money!
After beating away the Spaniards guarding the mining area, in addition to the security forces, the entire army transformed into geological experts and began to screen the ore.
Zheng Jiaqi was responsible for leading the soldiers to select, while Zheng Haiying organized the manpower to smelt on site.
The Spaniards had set up a smelting plant of a certain scale locally, and they had no intention of transporting the ore back to the mainland.
Now the mining area and smelting plant are in the hands of these two people. The two men and a group of subordinates are not afraid of the baking heat wave, and everyone is happy.
As long as the ore comes out of the pot at high temperature, it means that a pile of copper coins will be produced, although it is not a real copper coin!
I am lucky enough to directly participate in making money, which is something I never dared to think about before.
Many people were holding a piece of fine copper after cooling and giggling, just saying "the copper mine is my home".
Zheng Haiying also asked the cameraman accompanying the army to take pictures of this memorable moment, so that he could brag about it to his brothers after he returned.
Originally, I wanted to make money by scraping the land, but now I can make money directly by guarding the copper mine.
The two generals looked at the endless mountains and thought, how much is this worth?
Because according to the Spanish prisoners, they didn't know how much copper there was here!
