The long-legged bear followed Deng Zilong's troops into the mining city of Medellín, Colombia.

The city was built for a short period of time, when Lautaro's subordinates discovered gold in the valley called Abra, and gradually gathered the aborigines to dig ore here and exchange it for weapons and food for Deng Zilong in Youjing, as a source of baggage for Lautaro's rebels.

Later, the Ming army in order to protect the mining area, simply moved the border monument over, completely covered this place under the protection of the Ming army, until now the Ming army has built a city here to set up a guard, the gold mine still belongs to the Lautaro rebels, the gold ore is still uniformly handed over to Youjing to forge gold ingots, according to the market price in exchange for Tongbao to transfer to Lautaro, and then to Youjing to purchase arms, buy grain and grass, and used to pay the Ming garrison and the Lautaro rebels near Medellin.

This was rightfully the base camp of the rebels, where countless messages were gathered every day, and hundreds of emissaries traveled from here to the locations of tribal chiefs and rebel leaders scattered throughout Colombia with the latest instructions.

This time, however, the instructions were not issued from Medellín, but as Lautaro was seriously wounded and dying, the local leaders joined forces with each other to inform Medellín that they would make a big move on the last day of the 10th year of Wanli, and the name of the operation was 'A Gift to the Emperor'.

Here, the long-legged bear parted ways with the Oriental Flag Army in the city waiting for the arrival of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and led the volunteers of Changsheng County to join the Colombian Volunteer Army nearby by virtue of his identity as a volunteer of the northern natives.

The leader who received him was named Pickaxe, and he was based in a small Spanish stronghold called Quincha at the foot of the Tamana Mountains in southern Medellín, where a large number of coal mines were being mined.

Kincha had been recaptured by Lautaro's army a year earlier, and was subsequently used as a frontline stronghold for the Rebels and the Western Army, and it was at that time that Mineho and his co-workers joined Lautaro's team and marched through the Tamana Mountains to fight the Spaniards to the death.

"Brother Lautaro said that in Colombia, our war with the Spaniards revolves around one mine after another."

The people of the pickaxes did not live in longhouses like the natives of the north, they were more accustomed to walking through the mines, during the day they lived in caves in the mountains, and at night they would stay in the shallower mines to rest, and the extensive mines led them to appear in the various tribal villages of Jincha, and they could launch deadly attacks on the Spaniards at any moment, and when the Spaniards chased into the mines, they would be confused by the seven vertical and eight horizontal mines.

"The mines are a place for them that must be fought for, and they have to exchange them for money, and General Lin said that the reason the Spaniards are staying in Asia is because they need our minerals to be shipped back to China – he has to stay in the village, he can't go down with us."

Outside the village longhouse in Jincha, the mine pickaxe pointed to the naturalized Spanish knight in the Changsheng County Volunteer and said to the long-legged bear, slowly chewing on coca leaves, looking at these people with a cautious gaze, and continued: "And we don't need to, Lautaro said that we have more and less of them, so there is only one purpose - to kill them." ”

At the same time as these words, the mine pickaxe raised a hand and slowly pushed it forward, while swaying left and right, and said, "We don't care about anything else except this purpose, if we can kill them by attacking the mine, we will attack the mine; If abandoning the mine kills them, we'll abandon the mine. ”

"Three months ago, the last Spanish soldier of Kincha died under my guns, and I called it a mine hoe." The mine pickaxe patted the old arquebus gun resting on his lap: "Don't look at it old, it's still very useful." ”

The long-legged bear was a little impatient, he sat patiently in the open space in front of the longhouse, and carefully blew the floating soil on the ground before he sat down, and the Liaodong Army cotton armor on his body made his face red: "I came here from Jincheng to do a great career for the brothers of the Ming Dynasty, and it is my blessing to be able to meet the big move, but I want to know what the big move is?" ”

Mine Pickaxe smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, be patient." ”

He pointed to his mouth and said, "It's not time yet." ”

Chewing coca leaves was originally a habit of the Incas, after the Spanish conquest of the Inca, this habit spread as the Spaniards found more mineral deposits, whether it was silver, gold or coal, in those deep mines, the aborigines used to chew coca leaves to calculate the time, when they went down the cave, they began to chew, and when the leaves in their mouths lost their taste, two hours had passed, and it was time to return to the ground to breathe.

Although the pickaxe said that it was not yet time, the rebels kept crawling out of the holes around the village with baskets woven of branches and leaves, and placed all kinds of old weapons in the open space in front of the longhouse, blinding the long-legged bear.

Ming-made waist knives, sailor axes, mine pickaxes, pitchforks, red tassel guns, shortened infantry spears, improvised shields and torches, chain mail, chain mail turbans, Ming army helmets, Spanish cuirasses, Spanish high-topped helmets, Spanish light and heavy arquebuses, flintlock pistols, Ming made arquebuses flintlock pistols, Spanish Fran machines, iron hoop wooden cannons, tiger squat cannons...... There were also baskets filled with gunpowder and cobblestone shells.

Some people knew at a glance that they were trained in the Ming army, and they skillfully tied up every volunteer army around them.

Seeing such a scene, the long-legged bear also began to let his subordinates prepare, and more than a dozen veterans with military experience followed him to fight for Changsheng County.

Although it is not yet known where to go, it must be a long-distance attack to see the miner's subordinates prepare like this.

More and more people appeared in the village from the surrounding mines, and they sat in front of the pickaxes in rows, each carrying a basket, and picking up the weapons he thought he was handy from the ground, and the baskets were filled with gunpowder and stone bullets, and some of the more sturdy miners placed wooden cannons or tiger cannons in the middle of them in pairs.

The long-legged bear led the people to sit aside, watched their preparations, and whispered to the retired official of Jincheng, who was quite relied on next to him: "The wooden cannon is really good, I will also do this, Wu Zhixian taught us." ”

Almost everyone was ready, and dusk was approaching, so the pickaxe finally spit out the tasteless leaves in his mouth, carefully took off his shoes and put them on his waist, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain with two long thin legs.

Without any orders, everyone stood up, carrying their weapons on their backs and following the footprints of the pickaxe.

The long-legged bear didn't even react, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to follow, and he led the Mongolian horse to catch up with the mine pickaxe quickly, and asked, "Where are we going and what kind of battle are we fighting?" I can be a cavalryman! ”

"Cavalry, we have no cavalry, tonight we are going to march thirty miles, attack a Spanish stronghold and two mines, and blow up a coal mine."

"Tonight the whole of Colombia will be filled with explosions, and all the rebels will come out and blow up everything they can see...... It was the last night of the 10th year of Wanli, and it was our gift to the emperor. ”
