"It's gold coins!"
Perez took the money bag and opened it, and his eyes were immediately filled with gold!
He quickly took out a gold coin from the small but heavy bag and found that it was a very well-made gold coin with several square characters on it, which was obviously not Inca characters - because the Incas had no characters! But no one cares about the words on the gold, people only care about the purity of the gold. Perez took the gold coin and put it in his mouth and took a bite with his teeth. It was a little soft and it was real gold!
"Lieutenant, why did that Inca give us gold coins?"
Andre also saw the golden gold coins. Having been doing business with the Spaniards, he certainly knew that gold coins were a good thing. But he didn't understand why the Inca gave him gold? Do you want to bribe the Kalenkowa Indian tribe?
"Why give us gold coins?" Perez quickly hid the bag of gold coins in his arms, "That's for me... I am an Inca, you are not an Inca, that Inca prince Why should I give you gold coins?”
"Are you an Inca?" Andre looked at Perez, a mixed-race Indo-European, "Didn't you always say you were Spanish?"
"I, I..." Perez probably felt that it would not be good to take the gold alone, so he gave Andre a gold coin in his right hand, "I'll give you this gold coin, don't worry about it anymore." Yelling!"
"I..." After receiving the gold coins, Andre wanted to ask for more, but the "Inca Prince" Cering Taiji was already impatient.
The gold coins have been collected, why haven’t they been delivered yet?
"Wine! Move it down quickly!" Cering Taiji shouted, raising his left hand to point at the wine barrel on the canoe. At the same time, he reached his right hand under the hem of his robe and rested it on the handle of a revolver!
The origin of this revolver is amazing!
It was invented by Zhu Heji, Dai Zi, and Huang Lvzhuang together - Zhu Heji "invented" the mercury fulminate fire and cork bullets, Dai Zi designed the rotating drum, and Huang Lvzhuang designed the rotating drum. Linked mechanism with trigger and hammer.
In addition, the three of them did not create a revolver out of thin air. In fact, the Europeans had already created a revolving matchlock gun. However, this kind of multi-fire gun has no linkage mechanism, and the drum must be moved by hand. There is no flash cap, and a match must be used to ignite the gun, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, it was not popularized after its invention, let alone became the standard weapon of the army.
The multiple-fire gun invented by Dai Zi in history should be a wheel-type matchlock gun. This thing is not very easy to use, and it is normal for the Qing court not to pay for it. Otherwise, given the importance Kangxi attached to the Eight Banners' firearms, he would definitely get a batch of Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.
The revolver bomb "invented" by Zhu Heji, Dai Zi, and Huang Luzhuang is a quasi-complete system. It has a rifled barrel, a flash cap cork bullet, and a drum trigger linkage mechanism. Not only the rate of fire is greatly improved, but the reliability is also greatly improved. , and the accuracy is much better than that of ordinary muskets!
Although the performance of this revolver is powerful, its mechanical structure is still too complex compared to the handicraft industry in the 17th century. Therefore, the output of this new weapon is very low, the yield rate is even lower, and the cost remains high.
Therefore, the ordinary Ming army did not have equipment. Only Zhu Heji's cavalry and bodyguards, as well as the "Yin family cavalry" sent to the New World, were equipped with such black technology weapons.
However, since the quality of the revolvers currently manufactured is still high, the service life is still relatively limited, and the cost of ammunition is also high, so the Yin family cavalry equipped with revolvers are reluctant to use them. If they are worn out, they must be sent back for new ones. Chao Ge can only repair it, and it is very slow to repair, and it will not be sent back within a few months. Therefore, when bows and arrows can cope with it, they usually solve the problem with horseback archery.
And Perez didn't need to be shot with an arrow, nor did he need to be blasted to death. When the two of them saw Celingtaiji getting angry and pointing at the wine barrel, they immediately understood what the other party meant.
He quickly said to Andre: "Have your people carry the rum to the shore...that Inca prince wants to drink!"
Although Andre was not satisfied with only one gold coin, he still did not dare to disobey Lieutenant Perez's order, and it was his mission to deliver rum to the Incas. So he quickly ordered his men to move barrels of rum from the canoe to the shore, and then asked them to carry the barrels together and follow the Inca knights to the Inca camp.
After approaching the Inca camp, Andre and Perez discovered that there was a very open pasture on the outside of the river bend camp (the inside of the Colorado River side), with many cattle grazing on the pasture. Flocks of sheep and horses. This shocked Andre and Perez again. The North American prairie is full of bison, and the sky is full of meaty pigeons. These Incas, who should be very capable of hunting, actually don't eat ready-made food. They also raise their own... Not only do they raise cattle and sheep, they actually farm!
When Andre and Perez walked outside the trench of the Inca camp, they actually found a lot of wheat growing well and a large vegetable garden with various fruits and vegetables!
In addition, they also saw many Inca women and children, all of whom looked very un-Indian, practicing bow and arrow shooting on a shooting range outside the camp gate. Andre and Perez observed carefully and found that these women and children were using arrows with bone arrowheads and a strange-looking bow.
When Andre and Perez wanted to see if the Inca women and children could shoot accurately, they had already followed the Inca prince and descendant of Genghis Khan to a gate of the camp.
Outside this gate, Andre and Perez saw the Inca guns for the first time - the eight gate guards only had two flintlock guns without bayonets, and the remaining six only had bows and arrows and bent weapons. The knife, oh, and the revolver in the "boom holster" tied to the trouser leg! Andre and Perez did not see it because it was covered by the hem of the robe. Moreover, they had no chance to observe further, because Celingtaiji did not let them enter the camp at all, and just asked them to wait outside the camp gate. Then he went in and summoned a group of "Inca big men" to carry the wine barrels in, and then Andre and Perez were driven away by the Inca warriors guarding the door... The two of them didn't say anything more and went back with the gold in hand.
...
When it was getting dark, on the west bank of the Colorado River in Texas, on the west side of a large dense forest, twenty brigades of the Spanish Royal Army had set up camp. Passing through this forest is the meandering Colorado River. There are more than a dozen Indian canoes scattered on the river beach. It was Andre and Perez who were riding the canoes in search of the Inca camp.
Now Andre and Perez have arrived at the Spanish Royal Army's camp and were brought to the Duke of Lorraine, Lieutenant General Churchill and Archbishop Philip.
"Your Highness the Bishop, Your Excellency the Duke, Your Majesty the Lieutenant General, the Inca camp is five to six Spanish miles away (about twenty or thirty kilometers), relying on a river bend, covering a very large area and looking very solid. , there is a very deep and wide outer trench, and inside the outer trench is a circle of wooden fences and a circle of parapets. However, the weapons of the Incas were not very advanced, and they were only equipped with a small number of muskets. No artillery was seen, but everyone With bows and arrows, even their women and children can shoot!”
"Your Highness the Bishop, Your Excellency the Duke, Your Excellency the Lieutenant General, those Incas are still grazing outside the camp. They raise a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses, and they also grow a lot of wheat and vegetables."
In the headquarters tent of the Duke of Lorraine, Andre and Perez were pointing at a scrawled map and reporting on the enemy situation obtained from their reconnaissance.
The Duke of Lorraine and Lieutenant General Churchill both stood in front of the map with their arms folded, listening very carefully for fear of missing a word. After Andre and Perez finished speaking, the two looked at each other, and then Churchill said: "Duke... I think we can use the cover of night to pass through these woods, and get in their way before dawn. Complete the deployment in front of the camp, and then launch a surprise attack! At the same time, we can also set up a rocket position on the other side of the Colorado River and fire rockets into their camp. There are many cattle and sheep in their camp, as well as their women and children. Once they are attacked There will definitely be chaos if a rocket attack occurs."
The Duke of Lorraine nodded and asked, "Approximately how many people are there?"
Perez immediately took the question and replied: "Duke, they didn't let us enter the camp, so we can't confirm the situation inside the camp. But judging from the size of their camp and the cattle and sheep grazing outside and the cultivated wheat fields, their The number of people is at least tens of thousands, and the number of combat-capable personnel should be around 15,000.”
Lieutenant General Churchill said: "Duke, we have more than 30,000 people, twice as many as them, and we also have an overwhelming advantage in firepower. We have a great chance of winning this battle!"
Cardinal Philip smiled and added: "Duke, we still have the Holy Spear... Since ancient times, any party that carries the Holy Spear to the battlefield can get the blessing of Jesus and must be invincible!"
This is when the Holy Spear comes out, who will compete?
Hearing what Philip said, Duke Lorraine's confidence exploded! So he nodded and made his final determination: "This is the end of the Incas... They should have perished more than a hundred years ago. That was God's will! But they dared to take refuge in the devil and resist God. Their will has been lingering for more than a hundred years, but their final moment of destruction has arrived! We will set off early tomorrow morning and must arrive near the Inca Bend after dark... We will start launching in the early morning of the day after tomorrow attack!"
The Duke of Lorraine then said to Churchill: "John, you will lead two brigades of the English Expeditionary Force, plus all the rocket troops, to advance along the east bank of the Colorado River. You must reach the other side of the Inca Bay before the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and deploy your rockets." Launch position. At the same time, deploy the infantry and artillery along the river bank... I estimate that the Incas who were suddenly attacked will definitely choose to swim across the river to escape. Your people must kill them all!"
This is to eliminate the roots!
Archbishop Philip on the side was a little worried that Lieutenant General Churchill was not ruthless enough, and added: "Lieutenant General, the Incas have sold their souls to the devil... All of them deserve to go to hell, so we cannot be They are human beings and must be eradicated without leaving any trace behind! This is not only the Duke’s order, but also God’s will!”
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!" Lieutenant General Churchill stood at attention and took the order from the Duke of Lorraine. But he didn't say much to Archbishop Philip... He was a Protestant, and Archbishop Philip was a Catholic cardinal, and he was also the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition!
The Duke of Lorraine nodded and added: "I will personally lead the remaining eight brigades to march from the west bank of the Colorado River... In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, it will be the end of those Incas!"
Archbishop Philip immediately made a cross on his chest and said: "God will definitely bless you... I will march with you with the Holy Spear!"
This is when the Holy Spear comes out, who will compete?
...
In the Yinjiabu camp in the bay of the Yinjiahe (this is the name of the Colorado River in Texas by the Yin Shang), Celing Dunduobu was drinking rum and wiping a six-round revolver. He had just wiped the revolver. After getting polished, the curtain of the big tent was lifted up. After a cool river breeze, Borzigit Celing walked in with sweat on his face.
Cering Dunduobu glanced at him: "Celing Taiji, have you found the Spanish camp?"
"Found it!" Borzijit Celing grinned, "You are still smart, Mr. Marquis. You knew that there was something wrong with those Indian profiteers while drinking sugar cane wine... and you even asked your subordinates to go all the way. I followed them, and sure enough I found the Spanish army!”
This matter is really a "holy blessing". Borzigit Celing mistook Perez and Andre as profiteers selling wine... The quality of those rums is too high Gao, how could a profiteer do business like that? As soon as I drank it I knew something was wrong.
So Cering Dundorbu immediately realized that his camp might be targeted by the Spaniards. So he immediately asked Borzigit Cering to lead people to follow and follow them, and sure enough they discovered the Spanish army!
Celingtundubu smiled and said: "You don't have to drink that sugar cane wine. Just look at the color and the oak barrels that contain the wine. You will know that it is top quality. It is not something that those Indian businessmen can get! Tell me, how many people are there in them? ?”
Borzigit Celing said: "At least thirty thousand! It's forty or fifty miles away... Do you think we are going to make a sneak attack?"
Cering Dunduobu gently turned the wine glass and said thoughtfully: "No need... If I guess correctly, they should come to the door themselves! Cering Taiji, let's set an ambush here, Then wait for the Spaniards to come and die!”
As he spoke, he picked up the newly polished revolver and slammed it on the table in front of him!
