1024 War in a Foreign Land
The distance between distant Chile and the mother country of the Qing Dynasty is more than 50,000 miles, which can be said to be a farewell distance for people in the 19th century.
At the time of European immigration to North America, the European settlers were ready to leave their homeland forever when they boarded the sailboats, and only the most persecuted European Protestants and the poorest had the courage to leave their homeland.
The same is true in China, the North American laborers who crossed the Pacific Ocean in that era, and these veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven who came to South America, who will embark on this road if they really can't survive.
People are away from home, but the family affection is getting stronger and stronger, and the reunion in another country is almost like a dream for these veterans. It was Weng Derong and Chen Yonglu who came as promised, and it was the slightly older Weng Derong who hugged and cried with Tietoutuo, and Chen Yonglu was on the side.
The man has tears and does not flick but has not reached the sad place, alone in a foreign land without any retreat, from the mine uprising to cooperate with Chile to achieve victory after victory, Weng Derong and Chen Yonglu can only choose to grit their teeth and bite the bullet.
No matter how hard and tired they are, no matter how heavy the casualties of their brothers, they will not shed a single tear, because they know that in this distant foreign land, no one cares about your tears, all they see is your blood.
And today, I finally heard the country voice, and I also saw the old brothers of the kingdom of heaven, and after the secret words, they actually found out that Tietoutuo was actually under the command of the Wing King, which was an old qualification in the Taiping army. And these people are all halfway Taiping Army, and the attendant Li Shixian who followed belongs to the prince of the later period, and his qualifications are completely incomparable with the Wing King.
The recruits saw the veterans, and the miscellaneous cards saw the descendants, this feeling was like a wanderer found a home, and an orphan found support, and the grievances in the heart of the iron-blooded man broke out all of a sudden.
"Bring the wine! If you don't get drunk today, I will charter this tavern ......"
Good wine and good food are the same as no money, Chen Yonglu grabbed Tietoutuo's cuffs and cried bitterly: "Do you know? When I came here, there were more than 13,000 brothers! Now there are 8,000 left...... Those who died of illness, exhaustion, torture in the mines, and those who died in battle, we have shed blood all the way here......"
"When we die we have one less, and when we see fewer and fewer brothers, every funeral we feel like we are giving ourselves a funeral...... We're the living dead......
Weng Derong drank a glass of spirits, "Daddy's life is not good for us, and if we don't cultivate in our previous life, we were reincarnated in troubled times in this life, which is really in response to the old saying, I would rather be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times...... In China, we have to fight a way to survive, but I didn't expect that in this foreign land thousands of miles away, we still have to rely on killing people to earn a way to survive......"
"We are not afraid of death, because we have no way out, Chile has no extra weapons for us, we will make our own iron to make a peace knife, we are going to use this knife to make a peace...... People have to live like a human being!"
With a bang, the blood-soaked Taiping Knife was slapped on the table, the tavern owner couldn't understand Chinese, but they knew this knife, and only such a group of killing gods would use this Taiping Knife in all of South America.
In this war, the Taiping Army and the Taiping Dao are undoubtedly the deepest terrifying memories of the Three Kingdoms, and the Chinese waving the pennant are the killing gods sent by God.
They can fight for a day and a night without sleeping, they can constantly harass the enemy with gongs, drums and horns, they will break into pieces and carry out assaults again and again, they will drag the fat man down, the thin man to death, until everyone has a mental breakdown.
They don't know what death and terror are, they love hand-to-hand combat, and whenever the cold light of the Taiping Sword flashes on the battlefield, all the enemies know that their end is death, and the most terrifying is to cut off their heads.
The barbarians from hell possess the harshest discipline and countless stratagems, a way of warfare that is completely unsuitable for the armies of the indigenous peoples of South America.
Until the end, the Taiping Knife has become a symbol of this army, and those scoundrels who bully the weak and fear the hard, even if they have muskets in their hands, have become leprosy dogs with broken backbones in front of the Taiping Knife.
"Domineering! Enough for you! Didn't embarrass us Chinese! It's not in vain that the prime minister sent us to support you...... Good brother, we now have reinforcements, and the prime minister has brought you 10,000 fresh troops, all of whom are veterans of the kingdom of heaven......"
"Damn, these bastards, even Chile is not a good thing, why don't you give us foreign guns? Take us as cannon fodder? Can't bear it, this thing must not be tolerated......
Weng Derong smiled bitterly, "My lord doesn't know, in fact, it's not Chile that treats us harshly, you really haven't experienced the war here, these countries are too poor, it's not like you think ...... at all"
"Take Chile as an example, it has been 50 years since he became independent from the Spaniards, and it should have been a good country for us outsiders to see for such a long time, at least the army must have been decent. But it's so poor here that you can't produce any foreign guns and cannons by yourself, so you have to spend money to buy ......."
"And Chile has countless copper, silver and iron mines...... There are still saltpeters and struvite, but the export of these minerals has been monopolized by European merchants, and they cannot be sold at a price......"
"Without money, the army can't be armed, on the surface it is all troops trained by Westerners, but in my eyes it is a group of peasants who can fire foreign guns and line up in the aisles, and many people actually use European crossbows to fight on the battlefield......
Chen Yonglu continued, "That's right, this country is not as rich as the Manchu dog Tartars, they let the Spaniards colonize it for 300 years! You know, it's been almost 300 years! When the country was destroyed, our China was still the Ming Jiajing Dynasty......
"Phew...... Three hundred years of colonization have long turned the people here into soft bones, and the so-called independence fifty years ago was also organized by the descendants of their whites, and this group of minions has long forgotten their ancestors......"
"On the battlefield, I can clearly feel that they lack such a spirit in their hearts, they don't know what they are fighting for, they have no sense of ancestors and country, and they don't have the consciousness of working hard for a better life......!
"The enemy and I hid in the walled city, shooting arrows back and forth, firing guns, ghosts screaming a few times, so dozens of people died on both sides, and then the side with more dead people couldn't stand it, turned around and fled......"
"Don't dare to attack at night, and they can't fight in close blood, they don't have the momentum of using their fists, teeth, or even dying together!"
"This is a group of peasants fighting, and a bunch of poor clanging destitute peasants!"
