In Florida... don't get me wrong, not the North American one, but Uruguayan Florida, in a small town not far from Florida City, where the ongoing war seems to have had little impact.
The tavern was noisy and smoky. The prostitutes in gorgeous clothes, their lips smeared like a wound, sat on the waists of the sailors, laughing wildly there. The war made the sailors of the river boats unemployed——
After the Brazilian fleet was destroyed, the Ming army's gunboats blocked the Uruguayan coastline.
However, other than that, the war seemed to have no impact on them.
After all, they are Uruguayans.
The boisterous laughter and noise echoed in the tavern. At this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly opened - a group of Brazilian soldiers walked in, some white and some black. Their uniforms were covered with dust, and many of them were covered in dust.
The man was still wearing bandages and was injured.
"You, all men gather together!"
Captain Brazil, who broke into the tavern, shouted:
"The yellow men have attacked. Now we must defend Uruguay. All men must take up arms!"
The Brazilian officer spoke very halting Spanish, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone started to curse.
"Damn old Brazil."
"What, what did you say?"
A drunk man stood up and cursed loudly at Mr. Brazil.
"Damn old Brazilian, listen up, we are Uruguayans, the war between Ming Dynasty and Brazil has nothing to do with us! Let us die..."
"boom!"
Gunshots rang out!
When the gunfire fell, the man even looked at his chest in disbelief, where blood was pouring out.
"Damn traitor!"
After the man fell, the Brazilian officer holding a pistol looked at the people in the station pub and said.
"The war with Ming Dynasty now concerns all of us - whether all white people can survive on this land. Gentlemen, this is not a Brazilian war..."
Although the Brazilian officer Kang was enthusiastic, no one paid him any attention. Those people continued to drink and joke with the women. When the officer with a gloomy face saw this, he sneered.
"Damn old Uruguay!"
After saying that, he led the soldiers back out.
As soon as he left the house, he gave orders to his subordinates.
"Lock the door and burn these old Uruguayans to death!"
The door of the tavern was locked, and then several black soldiers poured kerosene stolen from unknown sources outside the tavern. The flames soon spread into the tavern, and the people in the tavern were all frightened and wanted to escape.
, but the door was locked. When they tried to break the window and escape, what greeted them were bayonets and bullets from the soldiers.
When the cry came from the blazing fire, the Brazilian officer just looked at it all with cold eyes, as if to him, this was just a normal thing, and then he ordered the soldiers.
"Let the mayor inform all the men to assemble, otherwise this will be their fate!"
Killing chickens to scare monkeys, this method is not only used by Chinese people, Brazilians are also old people among them. After all, slaves... they always have to use this method to kill and suppress them!
After it was suppressed, the local people could naturally be mobilized to resist the brutal Ming army.
Faced with the atrocities committed by the Brazilian army, many Uruguayan men were fleeing. Although many people fled, by September, the Brazilian army had successfully recruited more than 50,000 men to join the army in Uruguay. You must know that the total population of Uruguay
, but only a mere three hundred thousand!
When the Brazilian army forced the Uruguayans to join the army, the Ming army, which had already invaded Paraguay, showed great restraint. They took every step step by step and would never advance easily.
At the front of the large army, a group of several elite cavalry soldiers were running on the grassland. The leader, Sun Dahai, said a little boredly.
"It's like a parade, it means nothing."
"Yes, except for a few battles on the border, there was no resistance at all along the way..."
"Resist? What are you resisting? The entire population of Florida is only 10,000, which is not even comparable to a county in China. Even if they want to resist, there must be someone..."
"Haha, the most important thing is that the Uruguayans are still unwilling to help the Brazilians,"
While his comrades were talking to each other, Han Lin would occasionally cast his gaze into the distance. They were the vanguard, and their mission was to search and reconnaissance in front of the main force.
However, after crossing the border, the battle turned into a march. They encountered little resistance along the way. Compared to the resistance, they were even welcomed to a certain extent. After all, the process of occupying Uruguay was not very pleasant. Brazil
The army here fully demonstrates what an occupying army is.
Ever since, after witnessing the civilized behavior of the Ming Dynasty in Paraguay, the Uruguayans who were the victims even wished to take their own lives - it was better to be ruled by the Ming Dynasty than to be ruled by the Brazilians.
Under this mentality, Uruguayans are far from rejecting the Ming Dynasty, and many locals even welcomed their arrival.
Who can understand this kind of mentality?
This kind of mood does not need to be understood, it just needs to be felt. Along the way, they did feel the kindness from the Uruguayan people.
As he led the soldiers in his squad to continue walking, Sun Dahai, who was carrying a 2-year-old cavalry rifle, looked lazily at the surrounding wheat fields. They finally saw the wheat fields. Before that, all they saw was the endless grassland and wheat fields.
It means they are getting closer to the city.
There were even some Uruguayans in the wheat field. Those people did not hide around because they saw them, and some even waved to them. In the past few years, the reputation of the Ming army as a benevolent and righteous army has spread throughout South America.
.
This is an army that will neither rob nor kill ordinary people. In South America in this era, people's requirements for being a "teacher of benevolence and righteousness" are not high, it is just that.
"Monitor, what are you laughing at?"
Han Lin looked at the squad leader and asked curiously.
"Look at them!"
Sun Dahai pointed to the Uruguayans in the distance and said.
"For them, we are not conquerors at all. To a certain extent, we are liberators, the liberators who rescued them from the slavery of Brazil, so they welcome us..."
When talking about those Uruguayans, Sun Dahai said again.
"But when Brazil is defeated and this land is occupied by us, what will we become? Will we become an occupying force in their eyes? No one can say for sure. Now they welcome us because
