Chapter 242 Patagonia III

ps: Thanks to classmate 2o18o2o61829362o7 for the reward and support!

I have two exams next week and I have to stop updating for at least a week. Sorry.

After the Antonio conflict, the relationship between the Mapuche people and Argentinian whites became tense again. On April 12, Argentina imposed an economic blockade on the Patagonian Indians and closed the border areas controlled by the two parties.

trade channels.

On April 13th, Ilya agreed to Ye Chenglin's request and led the seventeen remaining young men in the tribe to join the mixed army.

On April 15, feeling the hostility from Argentina, the chiefs of various tribes in Patagonia began to mobilize the young and strong members of their tribes to join Ye Chenglin's army. As a result, the recruitment work that had been stalled in the early stage was quickly launched.

In Sierra Grande, the temporary station of the Patagonian Legion of the National Defense Force, Ye Chenglin looked at the letters submitted by the chiefs of various tribes with a satisfied smile on his face.

The Patagonian Indians have been in contact with the Spanish white people for hundreds of years. They have learned many things about Western society from the Spaniards. If they still treat them as uncivilized savages, they will establish a Patagonian mixed society.

The Legion's mission can never be completed.

Han's military strength in Patagonia was only one infantry company of 151 men and 34 transferred officers.

Relying on the support of less than 200 troops under his command, Ye Chenglin encountered many difficulties in his early recruitment work in Patagonia.

First, the chiefs, who were the upper class of the tribe, were worried that sending the tribe's young men to join the troops affiliated with the Han Kingdom might destroy the peace between the two parties and lead to another outbreak of war. Therefore, although they ostensibly respected Li Mingyuan as the king of Patagonia, in fact

But they were unwilling to cooperate with the actions of the National Defense Forces.

Secondly, the Patagonian Indian military armed forces are composed of small and medium-sized tribes, and the core combat effectiveness of the armed forces is tribal warriors like Iria. Without their approval, even if the thirteen Indian chiefs fully defeat

It was difficult for Ye Chenglin to recruit enough soldiers from the Patagonian Indian tribes after he defected to the Han Kingdom.

When the three Irias clashed with the Argentinian whites, the simplest solution was to be patient for a while and exchange for a concession and apology from Iria and others to resolve the incident. However, when Ye Chenglin arrived at the scene and faced with a controllable situation, he chose

He adopted the most violent response method, without giving the other party a chance to react, and directly ordered the two subordinates who followed him to shoot the provocative white Argentinian.

Ye Chenglin's seemingly reckless behavior actually had a profound meaning. According to the situation at that time, if the three people rushed to the scene to help them rescue them, they would be grateful to Ilya and others, but such a result was not what Ye Chenglin needed.

Li Mingyuan's order to him was to control the situation in Patagonia and try to control the local Indian armed forces in the hands of the National Defense Forces. It was not in the interests of the Han State to simply help others and do good things.

After occupying Argentina, Patagonia will definitely be merged into the Han Kingdom as a native territory. At that time, the Indian chiefs who originally hoped to use the Han Kingdom to resist the Argentine invasion may very well become an obstacle to the Han Kingdom's control of Patagonia.

Therefore, in the name of resisting Argentine aggression, the Argentine youths distributed in various tribes were concentrated under the control of the National Defense Forces. On the one hand, the military strength of the Indian chiefs was weakened. On the other hand, the assembled young Indians

In the battle to unify Argentina in the coming year, there will inevitably be a large number of casualties. As a result, the young and strong people who are the core of the Patagonian Indians will suffer heavy losses, and the remaining old, weak, women and children, and the chiefs who lack the support of armed forces will lose

In order to resist Han's reliance, the process of Han's control of Patagonia will also be much smoother.

Population is one of the main reasons for the outbreak of the war, because the Patagonian wilderness is inhabited by native Indians. In order to seize land, the white people of Argentina and Chile can only choose the strategy of reducing or eliminating the Indians, and the Han Dynasty also wanted to

To permanently occupy Patagonia, in order to achieve this goal, artificially creating war and reducing the number of Indians is the simplest and most effective method.

The way the Han controlled Patagonia was essentially no different from that of the Argentinian whites, except that compared with other Indians, the Patagonian Indians were closer to the Han in appearance and their population was sparse. Li Mingyuan

Choosing limited fusion and artificial reduction to accept them gave them a fairly appropriate result.

Ye Chenglin carefully pondered the hints in Li Mingyuan's order, and carefully planned various affairs not only to complete the task, but also to leave an impression on Li Mingyuan that he was stable and capable of handling complex affairs alone, and then passed Wu Fengdian.

Chen Zongbai and Chen Zongbai gained the advantage of serving as commanders of the Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces.

Chen Guozhu and other older generals retired. Among the four main divisions of the National Defense Force, the position of commander of the second division was taken over by former special forces commander Zhao Yongzeng. The position of commander of the third division was temporarily vacant. However, the deputy division commander Wang Xiaoshan was responsible for the affairs of the third division.

According to Wang Dashan and Wang Xiaoshan's relationship as Li Mingyuan's young guard, the position of commander of the Third Division was either held by Wang Dashan or Wang Xiaoshan. Wang Dashan had served in the Nanyang Army for a long time, and there was no rumor within the National Defense Forces that he would be transferred back.

Therefore, the most likely candidate to take over the post of commander of the Third Division is Wang Xiaoshan. As for Wang Dashan, it is possible that he will be transferred back to the mainland after the end of the Argentine War.

Excluding the positions of commander of the Second Division and the Commander of the Third Division, which have already been filled, the commander of the First Division was transferred from the former commander of the Fourth Division, Luo Linshan. Among the four field divisions of the National Defense Force, only the position of the Fourth Division is vacant, and most likely

Those who hold positions in the fourth division are Ye Chenglin, Wu Fengdian, and Chen Zongbai.

Needless to say, Ye Chenglin himself served as deputy brigade commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade of the National Defense Forces with the rank of colonel before taking charge of Patagonia affairs. Chen Zongbai and Wu Fengdian served as battalion commanders after being transferred to local posts.

He holds the positions of regiment commander, deputy brigade commander, and brigade commander of the mixed brigade, and his military rank is the same as Ye Chenglin.

Among the three, the first one to be promoted to the rank of colonel was Chen Zongbai. Chen Zongbai served as the commander of the Second Mixed Brigade in 1874 and was accordingly promoted to the rank of colonel. Wu Fengdian and Ye Chenglin were both promoted to the rank of colonel a year later than Chen Zongbai.

Chen Zongbai, Ye Chenglin, and Wu Fengdian have similar qualifications. Among them, Chen Zongbai and Wu Fengdian have more opportunities to come into contact with Li Mingyuan due to their local posts, while Ye Chenglin is far away in Patagonia, and the National Defense Forces under his command only have one or two hundred people.

The situation they face is much more complicated than that of Chen Zongbai and Wu Fengdian. Correspondingly, if Ye Chenglin can command the mixed troops to achieve good results in Patagonia, the competitive advantage will be more obvious.
