I want to ask, has the purpose of Ming Dynasty been achieved?
The answer is yes, achieved!
In order to purchase arms from the Ming Dynasty and then go south to kill the Red Hairs, most of the chiefs of these Indian tribes accepted the title of chieftain from the Ming Dynasty.
Each one of them suddenly changed from an Indian chief to a hereditary official of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the civil strife among the Indians originally planned by the Ming Dynasty did not happen, or it did happen, but on a small scale.
The main force of the Indians went south to kill the red-haired people in what was later to be Mexico.
This is somewhat surprising.
As for why these Indians chose to go south to fight the Red Hair instead of attacking the Ming Dynasty's camp... Chicken
Who said it wasn’t? They also attacked!
However, the personnel stationed in the Ming Dynasty's camps in the New World were mostly veterans with long training and rich war experience, rather than ordinary people.
After those Indians attacked Daming's camp, they suffered a huge loss.
The Ming Dynasty then launched a bloody revenge. Not only did it stop selling weapons to the Indian tribes that attacked the Ming Dynasty camp, it also sent troops to attack those Indians.
The tribes that accepted the title of chieftain of the Ming Dynasty were forced to send troops to form a coalition, otherwise the supply of weapons to them would be cut off.
The coalition forces almost wiped out the few tribes that dared to attack the Ming camp!
After the bloody warning, no one dared to do it again. Chicken
Of course, the more important reason is that only the Ming Dynasty would sell weapons to the Indians, and the Spanish would not sell weapons to the Indians.
If they offended Ming, they would have no source of weapons.
Without a source of weapons, how could they take revenge on the Spaniards?
On this point, those Indians can still understand it clearly.
…
On the endless plain, a group of Indian cavalry rode on horseback.
Originally, there were no horses in the American continent. However, as Columbus discovered the New World, horses were also brought to the Americas by the Spaniards. Chicken
At the beginning, the Spanish cavalry caused great damage to the native Indians in the Americas.
However, as some horses escaped from the control of the Spaniards and fled to the wild to breed wildly, herds of wild horses appeared on the American continent.
Over the years, the Indians also learned to tame horses.
Many Indians were very good knights.
Indian cavalrymen rode southward one after another, and they galloped across the vast plains.
Each of these Indian cavalrymen held muskets, bows and arrows, and the arrows were all three-edged arrowheads made of fine iron, instead of the bone arrowheads they originally used.
Their horses were all shoed and had stirrups and saddles.
Some of them even carried armor on their horses.
It can be said to be fully armed!
After being armed by the Ming Dynasty, these Indians also showed strong military talents.
Apart from anything else, these Indians performed very well in terms of daring to fight and fight hard.
"Not far ahead is a red-haired manor, be prepared to attack!"
One of the leading Indian knights spoke.
He held a monocular telescope in his hand and looked through the telescope at a manor not far away. Chickens
This manor is very large, with a conservative estimate of two to three hundred people living in it.
Not that easy to fight!
This knight's name is Mad Dog. The reason why he has such a name is because his first hunting victory was a mad dog.
Even after that, he hunted wolves, brown bears, lions and other large beasts.
The name Mad Dog will follow him throughout his life.
"Mad Dog Boss, what should we do?"
An Indian soldier named Three Field Mouse asked. Chicken
When the mad dog heard this, he just spoke.
"Don't worry now, wait until night!"
"After dark, we can take advantage of the darkness to launch an attack."
Mad Dog's order was issued, and the rest of the Indians took the order one after another, and then rested and prepared for tonight's battle.
Mad Dog, on the other hand, took three voles and quietly walked toward the manor, preparing to investigate the specific defense situation of the manor.
Although after receiving weapons funding from the Ming Dynasty, the armaments of these Indians directly reached the world's average level, no worse than those of the Spaniards.
However, for the sake of caution, these Indians still like to carry out sneak attacks when attacking Spanish manors.
Because many Spanish manors are equipped with artillery.
Even if they are some old front-loading smoothbore guns.
And they don't have artillery.
If it is a head-on battle, you will definitely suffer.
After Mad Dog and others figured out the defense situation of the manor, they quickly returned to their temporary camp.
In order to hide themselves, a group of Indians did not light a campfire, but just ate cold food.
They all ate the dry and hard corn tortillas with some sugar. Chicken.
They made the corn cakes themselves, but they bought the sugar from Daming.
The Indians didn't know how to make sugar.
Soon, it became completely dark.
But Mad Dog and the others did not rush to take action, but waited until the early hours of the night before quietly groping towards the manor.
These Indians are all experienced hunters, so stealth is not a problem.
In order not to attract the attention of the Spanish in the manor, many Indians used cold weapons to kill towards the camp.
Even if they had muskets, they were not prepared to use them.
Because using a musket would expose the target too easily.
The mad dog carefully touched behind a sentry. A flash of knife flashed and the sentry's throat was slit.
At the same time, someone bent a bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow made of fine iron toward a sentry post.
With a pop, the arrow penetrated directly through the sentry's throat.
The sentry held his wound, making a gurgling sound in his throat, and then fell to the ground.
"who!"
Just when Mad Dog and the others were about to move into the manor.
Suddenly someone shouted.
A Spanish farmer who was getting up at night saw a shadowy figure in the darkness and subconsciously asked loudly.
Mad Dog couldn't understand Spanish, but he also knew that he and others might have been exposed.
Without saying a word, he threw the dagger in his hand.
With a pop, the sharp dagger pierced the Spanish farmer's chest.
However, the Spanish civilian husband was not dead for a while. He lay on the ground covering his wounds and let out a scream.
"Oh God! What the hell is going on!" Chicken
"Come quickly, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!"
"..."
The Spanish farmer's scream instantly broke the silence of the night.
Many Spaniards rubbed their sleepy eyes and rushed out of the darkness with muskets in hand, ready to investigate the situation.
Obviously, they did not realize that they might be attacked, and they were basically unprepared.
Within a short time, they were in disarray.
Seeing this, Mad Dog and others knew that there was no hope of a sneak attack. Chicken
Each and every one of them stopped hiding, picked up their muskets, and started shooting.
Unlike chimpanzees who like to raise their muskets above their heads and play faith shooting, these Indian knights are very brave.
They even dared to stand in the open space and engage in musketry with the Spaniards hiding behind bunkers.
Amidst a crackling sound, groups of firelight suddenly appeared in the dark night, and the smoke filled the air.
The two sides fired fiercely, and the projectiles flew together!
Kayasuo's chest was heaving violently, and listening to the continuous gunshots all around, he felt that his whole body was extremely weak.
Fear is spreading like a plague. Chicken
Just a moment ago, he was holding his sister-in-law pulling carrots, but the sudden scream outside frightened him.
When he walked out of the room with his gun in hand, what he saw was a group of Indians rushing up in the darkness.
More Spaniards came out of the room.
Both sides raised their guns and fired at each other, and the sound of muskets rang out.
Projectiles flew past from time to time, hitting the wall and raising smoke.
Caiasuo's heart was full of fear and tension. This feeling of death at any time would be really unbearable for anyone who was not a professional soldier.
Caiasuo now felt that his hands and feet were extremely weak. After barely completing the loading, he did not dare to poke his head out to take aim. He could only raise the gun above his head and prepare to play Faith Shooting. Chicken
Suddenly, in the chaos, Caiasuo saw his brother not far ahead, shooting fiercely at the Indians on the opposite side.
His brother, who was a soldier, was responsible for the defense of the manor and led a patrol tonight, so he went to pull carrots with his sister-in-law.
If the manor was attacked, his brother would naturally lead people on the front line.
Looking at his brother's back, Caiasuo suddenly had evil thoughts in his heart, took aim with his gun, and then pulled the trigger.
The next moment, gunshots rang out, and Kayaso saw his brother shot in the back and lying in a pool of blood...
Kayasuo's teeth were chattering continuously. Apart from fear and guilt, waves of excitement surged in his heart like a tide.
From now on... he can finally be with his sister-in-law openly, instead of being as sneaky as he is now.
The death of Caiasuo's brother also triggered a chain effect.
When the Spaniards saw that the captains of the convoy had been beaten to death, they all dropped their weapons, turned around and ran away.
Kayaso also lowered his head and ran away with the crowd.
At this moment, Kayaso suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.
The sound of horseshoes hitting the street is very clear.
He turned around subconsciously and saw tall horses appearing in the dark night.
Indian knights rode on horseback one by one, holding sabers in their hands and roaring to kill.
The mad dog galloped forward and passed a Spaniard.
The sharp saber, relying on the speed of the war horse, cut the Spaniard open from the waist and abdomen in the blink of an eye.
The sharp saber cut open all the flesh, bones, internal organs, etc. in one go, and blood sprayed everywhere.
The still squirming and steaming internal organs gush out from the wound.
The mad dog was covered in blood and looked more like a mad dog.
They rode into the Spanish crowd, hacking and killing people, killing people and setting fires wherever they went, quickly creating riots.
But there were still Spaniards who persisted in fighting back, and gunfire rang out from time to time.
From time to time, Indians on horseback were shot and fell to the ground!
With a loud bang, the Spanish artillery deployed in the manor unleashed its power.
The fire flashed, and a cannonball flew out from the muzzle, crossed half a long street, and fell into the crowd.
At this time, Spaniards and Indians were entangled in the crowd.
When a cannonball was fired, several Spaniards and Indians were turned into broken limbs and flesh.
The scene is shocking!
The shells plowed a furrow through the dense crowd, splattering blood and scraps of meat everywhere.
The manor, which was originally in chaos, was instantly silenced by the firing of artillery.
Mad Dog wiped the blood from his face and shouted.
"Kill!"
"The red-haired artillery takes time to reload after it fires. Let's rush over and seize the cannon now!"
A cannonball just passed by him and almost hit him.
But he had no fear at all. Instead, he was aroused with ferocity, continued to muster up courage, and charged on horseback.
Behind him, an Indian knight also charged bravely and quickly followed up.
These Indian knights are all warriors in their respective tribes, and their fearlessness may be their most obvious label.
…
After a night of melee, almost all the Spanish men in the manor were killed.
Spanish women were also killed directly by these Indians after they had vented their desires, and were executed centrally.
Headless corpses were piled up in the center of the manor. The owner of the manor, who had just been retrieved from the pile of dead bodies, was tied to a tree and kept yelling curses at the killing Indians.
"Damn native heathens!"
"Great Spain will never let you go!" Chicken
"Be prepared to face the wrath of the Spaniards. God, please punish these damn natives!"
"..."
Although Mad Dog couldn't understand Spanish, he could tell that the manor owner had nothing nice to say.
He ordered people to pull the wife and daughter of the manor owner out of the crowd, and stripped them naked in front of the manor owner. The group of people took turns to vent their animal desires.
After they vented their anger, they slaughtered his wife and daughter like animals in front of the manor owner.
Look at the madness and ferocity on the manor owner's face, and the deep-seated hatred in his eyes.
The face of the mad dog is full of the pleasure of revenge. Chicken
What they are doing now may be barbaric and rough, but it is nothing compared to what the Spaniards did after they conquered the Aztecs and the Incas.
Their former country, or tribal alliance, was destroyed by the Spaniards.
Countless Indians became slaves of the Spaniards and were brutally exploited and oppressed by them.
How many tens of millions of Indians died under the scourge of organized massacres by the Spanish and the deliberate spread of the smallpox virus?
What they are doing now is just taking revenge for all the things the Spaniards did to them back then.
The mad dog stepped forward and plunged the dagger directly into the chest of the Spanish manor owner.
After the dagger pierced his heart, he stirred it vigorously, which completely cut off the manor owner's life.
"Clean this place up and let's go!"
Mad Dog pulled out the dagger, shook the blood on it, and gave instructions.
When the three voles heard this, they nodded and led the people to do it.
While this group of people was cleaning up the property they captured last night, they were also sorting out the bones of their own warriors who died in the battle.
There was a fierce battle last night, although they almost killed all the Spaniards in this manor.
But they also suffered many casualties.
A conservative estimate is that at least thirty or forty people fell in the manor before and after.
What you need to know is that their team only has a total of more than 200 people.
With such a number of casualties, if it were not a night battle, everyone would not be able to see well.
Moreover, the Indians had the upper hand throughout the whole process, and they were probably already collapsed.
And it is worth mentioning that the population of this large manor is not the two or three hundred people they estimated before the war, but almost four hundred people.
It is almost the size of a small town.
In the afternoon, with a billowing smoke rising, Mad Dog and his party left the Spanish manor and embarked on their return journey.
Mad Dog calculated the amount of harvest they had looted last night, and how many weapons they could exchange for it with Ming Dynasty... Chicken
If possible, he would also like to exchange some artillery pieces with Ming Dynasty.
If they had artillery, there would have been no need for a night attack in yesterday's battle.
Mad Dog said he would confront him head-on!
…
Spanish estates were attacked one after another, and news of heavy losses was constantly reported to the Governor's Palace of New Spain in Mexico City.
Governor Pizarro looked anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Rosen stood aside, looking at the detailed damage report sent up from below, with a toothache on his face.
"Where did these Indians get their weapons?"
"Why do they dare to go south and invade my territory in New Spain?"
"Do they want war with great Spain?"
In just one month, it was reported that nearly fifty manor houses had been attacked.
Among them, seventeen manors were directly attacked. Although the remaining manors repelled the invading enemies, they suffered heavy losses.
This is only talking about large manors. In addition to these large manors, there are also more small villages and settlements that have been attacked.
The losses were quite heavy! Chicken
The Indians made such a fuss that the Spanish ruling order in the New World was greatly shaken.
Especially the Spaniards near the northern border. Many people could not stand the threat of the Indians and began to move their families towards Mexico City...
Public dissatisfaction boils!
Pizarro spoke.
"The arrogance of the Indians can be said to have greatly damaged the Spanish ruling order in the New World. At this time, it is necessary to garrison troops to come forward to wipe out those damn indigenous people and maintain order and stability."
After Pizarro thought for a while, he decided to mobilize the army to destroy the invading Indians.
Major Rosen heard this and said: Chicken
"What the Governor said is true!"
Pizarro nodded and said.
"Rosen, go and inform General El and ask them to come to this governor and prepare for a meeting!"
General El was the Spanish garrison commander in the New World.
Rosen nodded in agreement, then turned and left.
…
Two days later, in the meeting room of the Governor's Palace of New Spain.
Governor Pizarro sat on the main seat, and in front of him, the garrison commander General El, Archbishop Lisson of the Diocese of New Spain, Municipal Justice Disha of Mexico City and others gathered together.
Pizarro threw a report on the table in front of him and said with a very serious expression.
"Everyone must know about the Indian bandits' attack on the border estate!"
"In the process, a large number of manor owners were killed in the attack, and Spain's dignity was seriously provoked."
"Even those Indian bandits are still trying to attack deeper and deeper into the interior of my governor's palace."
"This is something I, the governor, absolutely cannot accept!"
"In this regard, I have decided to send troops to attack and destroy those damn Indian bandits. Everyone, who is in favor and who is against?"
After Pizarro finished speaking, the archbishop was the first to stand up and express his agreement.
Leeson said.
"What those damn pagans did was a great provocation to God!"
"It would be a great insult to God to let them live."
"For the sake of the great God, I think the brave boys will fight bravely and kill all those damn infidel natives."
"For the glory of God, Amen!"
The Archbishop's statement is actually, to some extent, more weighty than the words of Pizarro, the Governor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because almost all Spaniards are believers in God.
In this case, how could they deny the bishop's words?
What you need to know is that to some extent, the bishop is their spiritual sustenance.
At the same time, General El also expressed his stance.
"It is appropriate to send out troops to exterminate those indigenous pagans."
"But before sending out troops, the young man needs to make up for the back pay and a departure fee."
"Also, it's time for the boys to change their weapons." Chicken
"Many young men are still using decades-old muskets that are no longer useful."
Asking for departure fees before setting off for an expedition is not the only custom in Ming Dynasty.
It turns out the Spaniards do too.
When Pizarro heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
If it were more than ten years ago, when trade between the East and the West was smooth, Pizarro would not hesitate at all and would agree to General El's request.
Because the Viceroyalty of New Spain at that time was rich and didn't care.
But things are different now. With the severance of trade between the East and the West, the annual income of the Viceroyalty of New Spain has been greatly reduced. Chicken
Now Pizarro had no money to pay General El's salary arrears and departure expenses, let alone replace the old weapons of the army.
"General El, can these things be discussed after the war?"
"Now the Governor's Palace is in financial difficulty. After the war, I can make the decision to allocate part of the seizure to you, General El, to make up for the army's salary arrears and departure expenses."
"Of course changing weapons is no problem!"
When El heard this, he couldn't help but want to curse.
What the hell, I still need you to talk about it after the war?
No, no, no one really thinks that all materials captured on the battlefield can be disposed of by the Governor's Palace, right?
The materials captured on the battlefield must have been handled by the army first, right?
As much as he needed, Tael directly asked the soldiers below to get it. Do you need your permission, Pizarro?
However, since the threat of the native Indians to the Spanish ruling order was real, El could not refuse the request to send troops no matter how unhappy he was.
Otherwise, he would not be able to explain it locally.
He could only say it with a cold face.
"Departure fees are always required."
Seeing this scene, Pizarro also knew that he could not go too far, so he said: Chicken
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
"The governor will allocate one hundred thousand silver dollars from the treasury for departure expenses. I hope General El can send troops to wipe out those damn native Indians as soon as possible."
General El also nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.
One hundred thousand silver dollars is not that small!
However, he must at least get half of it first.
The remaining officers under 50,000 will also have to be rewarded layer by layer.
In the end, only one tenth of them can be put to practical use, which means they officers have a conscience. Chicken
During this expedition to wipe out the invading Indians, General Ell prepared to mobilize 10,000 troops to participate in the battle.
The departure fee was divided among the people below, and each person was worth about one Spanish silver dollar.
In his opinion, no matter what, ten thousand Spanish boys from the Iberian Peninsula are enough to defeat any enemy.
Well, General El, as a professional soldier, does not take those native Indians seriously.
In his opinion, those native Indians could only bully Spanish civilians. If they faced a real army, those damn natives would definitely not be their opponents.
Because the military and civilians are two completely different species!
……chicken
As departure fees were paid, the Spanish troops stationed in Mexico City began to assemble and prepare to move north.
To be on the safe side, General Ell also brought more than ten artillery pieces, large and small, with him when he led his troops north.
Although there is no special field artillery in Spain today, small-caliber naval guns that can move with the army can be used in land battles, and they have done so.
The main Spanish army was marching north in a mighty manner, and it was impossible for the Indians not to receive news.
The Indian tribes that had been spreading out to plunder Spanish manors and villages also began to gather.
Prepare to concentrate the main force to face those damn Spaniards.
The main forces of both sides moved towards each other, and the battlefield was chosen on a large plain near El Paso on the US-Mexico border.
The terrain here is more suitable for the deployment of troops from both sides!
Logically speaking, when the Indians faced the Spanish organized army, they should be able to hide and hide.
However, these Indians did not hide.
Instead, they were preparing to concentrate their forces and fight the Spanish head-on.
As for the reason, it’s actually pretty easy to understand.
Before that, they were suppressed too hard by the Spaniards. Now that they have gained power and are able to retaliate against the Spaniards, they will naturally expand to the point of getting carried away.
As for what the final result will be...chicken
Was it the Indians who defeated the Spanish crusade to avenge their disgrace, or was it the Spaniards who defeated the indigenous pagans in their eyes and maintained their own order of rule.
Then really no one knows!
…
General El was riding on a white Arabian horse, holding a map in his hand.
He was holding a cigar in his mouth and thinking about strategies and tactics.
“El Paso, haha, this place is great!”
His name is El, and the battlefield is called El Paso. Chicken
Doesn’t this mean that God has blessed us and that the right time and place are in his favor?
Is there any reason why this battle cannot be won?
Thinking about this, El ordered.
"Instruct the army to speed up their march, arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible, defeat and kill all those damn indigenous heathens."
"At that time, no matter how much loot can be captured, it will be distributed among the young men themselves."
With a shout, the Spanish army's marching speed increased significantly.
These Spanish soldiers marched toward the battlefield while singing hymns and praying for God's blessing. Chicken
…
San Francisco Camp!
With the passage of time, the current San Francisco Camp is no longer the original wooden fence camp, but has become a military fortress with the main structure made of masonry and cement.
Looking from a distance, you can see the thick and towering blue-grey wall.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In order to adapt to the warfare in the firearms age and to protect against artillery, the walls of this fortress are not as tall as the traditional Eastern city walls.
Rather, it is relatively low and thick.
Moreover, there is a certain inclination angle on the side facing the enemy. Although it seems more convenient for the siege party to climb, it can ensure the maximum resistance to the power of the artillery bombardment.
After the fortress was built, the Ming Dynasty used the naval guns carried in the fleet to conduct anti-shell experiments.
At the very least, a large-caliber naval gun capable of firing 20 kilograms of solid shells cannot knock down such a bastion.
As for the larger caliber heavy artillery, although it can knock down the bastion, if you want to achieve success, you have to bombard it indiscriminately.
Inside the San Francisco Fortress, An Shengqiang, the current governor of Xinzhou in the Ming Dynasty, was reading the report at hand.
What he is currently flipping through is the Ming Dynasty's land reclamation data report near the San Francisco Fortress.
The above lists in detail the land reclamation situation of Ming Dynasty in San Francisco, including various types of land such as paddy fields, dry fields, irrigated fields, etc.
In addition, there is the recent report on the amount of gold mining.
With the advent of ore washing tanks, the implementation of large-scale mining, and most importantly, the continuous arrival of wild gold prospectors in San Francisco, the amount of gold mined is constantly rising.
Seeing him, the governor of Xinzhou, he couldn't help but be speechless!
Now An Shengqiang really couldn't help but sigh, the emperor's decision to order the exploration of the New World was really the right move.
The resources here in the New World are really abundant!
Needless to say about gold mines, the amount of mining is simply blinding people's eyes.
In addition to gold mines, there are also many other minerals such as coal, iron, silver, copper, and lead.
In addition, there are a large number of forest resources, animal resources, and even the most common land is fertile enough to produce oil. Chickens
The only disadvantage is that there are more extreme weather conditions, and big storms often occur, which is quite torturous.
If the Ming Dynasty could not capture such a heaven-given land, it would be the biggest loss.
I am afraid that future generations will not be able to forgive these people!
Even if nothing else is said, the development of gold resources alone is enough to fill the hole for the imperial court to develop the New World, and there is even a huge surplus that can be used to feed the Ming Dynasty.
Contribute to the development of Ming Dynasty!
An Shengqiang was reading the report, drinking tea, and giving instructions from time to time.
An Shengqiang was a little jealous of the imperial court's gold mines in the New World.
Want to ask him if he is greedy?
The answer is yes.
It is true that An Sheng was loyal to the court and the emperor, but loyalty did not prevent him from making money.
If you throw a mouse into a rice vat, is it possible that the mouse can still endure it?
But to say how much greed you have, it is actually not that much.
After all, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty were both famous.
If you are less greedy, the court may turn a blind eye and ignore it.
After all, the imperial court sends people to serve as officials in wild places like the New World, thousands of miles away from home. The officials cannot return home for several years, so the imperial court should provide some supplements.
But if he is too greedy, just a huge amount of property from unknown sources will be enough for him to drink a pot.
After all, in this era, you can only make money in Daminghua, there is no possibility of making money abroad.
Because people in this era are serious, and overseas is a barbaric land.
Anyone who is an immigrant is simply making a joke and will be ridiculed for having a missing brain stem.
Although the current Emperor of Heaven does not have completely zero tolerance for corruption, he is not the kind of good old man who would let the corruption of his subordinate officials go unchecked.
The regular anti-corruption campaign in the DPRK and the clean-up of official ranks are watched by many people. Chicken
With such a deterrent, no one dares to go too far!
The same is true for An Shengqiang. He must be greedy, but he will never be greedy beyond the line.
Closing the report in his hand, An Shengqiang slowly exhaled a breath. Just as he was about to order someone to prepare dinner, there was a knock on his door.
An Shengqiang raised his head and said.
"Please come in!"
His voice fell, and the door opened with a creak.
A soldier in military uniform strode in.
An Shengqiang raised his head and asked.
"Major General Wei, what do you want to see me for?"
Wei Wu nodded with a solemn expression.
"Governor An, I have received news that the Spaniards have sent troops north to clear out the Indians who have gone south to invade their borders."
Wei Wu was the Ming Dynasty's garrison commander in the New World.
While talking, Wei Wu sat down on the chair opposite An Shengqiang, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Although the Ming Dynasty implemented a strict policy of dividing civil and military rule, it was an exception in the New World. Chicken
In addition to having civil power, the governors of the New World also held certain military powers.
Wei Wu, the garrison commander, was half a level lower than An Shengqiang to a certain extent.
Of course, it was only half a level. Wei Wu, a veteran general with many battles and meritorious deeds, had much higher prestige in the army than An Shengqiang, the governor.
"What's the specific situation?"
An Shengqiang asked, his face a little serious.
He was not afraid that the Indians would be defeated and suffer heavy losses, but that the Ming Dynasty's stronghold in the New World would be discovered by the Spaniards.
The population of the Ming Dynasty in the New World was only seven to eight thousand, and the actual garrison was only about three thousand. Chicken
Even if all the people were mobilized, the number of troops that could be mobilized would only be 7,000 or 8,000.
What is the Spanish population in the New World?
How many troops can be mobilized?
Ever since Columbus discovered the New World, the Spanish have been working in the New World.
After more than two hundred years of business and immigration, it is conservatively estimated that the Spaniards have one million people in the New World.
The number of indigenous people under the rule of the Viceroyalty of New Spain was almost ten times or more than that of pure-bred Spaniards.
Added up, that’s a population base of over 10 million. Chicken
If they work hard enough, it is not impossible for the Spaniards to mobilize an army of 100,000 or 200,000 people.
By then, Ming's San Francisco camp may be under huge threat!
Although the Ming Dynasty's San Francisco Fortress was built solidly, if the enemy used the human wave tactic, it was unclear whether it could be defended.
