The other side of the sea.

Unlike the smaller towns of Ecuador or Colombia, Lima is a town with a deep Spanish influence, the center of Spanish rule in the New World, and half of Peruvian is concentrated in this huge town, which has everything that a Spanish can expect in the New World.

If the new town near the coast were to be taken as the confines of Lima, it was not very large, with the Doge's Palace, the Inquisition, the Cathedral, and the Piazza de la Armas as the crematorium, and the large stone-paved streets radiating in all directions until they reached the coastline twenty miles away.

Within this boundary, there are more than 3,000 legal nobles of the peninsula, each of whom is the center of the city as the streets that stretch from the Armed Square.

They were noble officers, lords of manors, great merchants, abbots, captains, and all those in the land.

All kinds of people in the city exist because of them, and they live by serving them.

In addition to these three thousand, there were sixty thousand mixed races, who were from all walks of life, and it was difficult for them to inherit all that the Spaniards had, and not to be so destitute that they lacked food and clothing, and the city of Lima was full of occupations suitable for them, coachmen, porters, legionnaires, sailors, weavers, prostitutes, and hired guards, and there was always a job that would feed them.

In addition to the 63,000 legally entitled Spaniards, there were ten times as many indigenous peoples, whose exact number was not known to anyone, not even Toledo, the governor of Peru...... Although they are devoured by this huge city at every moment, death is not the difficulty of counting, the real difficulty is that the Spaniards are too lazy to count.

They would rather count the more than 300,000 orders issued over decades than count the number of aborigines who could be similar, and no one knows exactly how many aborigines are alive, the Spaniards only know how many more have died this year.

With no proper means to govern such a huge city, the Spaniards have only 8 million people in their entire country, so how can they manage this giant city with a population of more than 300,000?

Who has such an experience?

In other words, even if there is no turmoil, if a spark falls, the city will be in chaos on its own.

What's more, at this moment, the Ming army came in a big way, the western army boarded the ship and retreated, after the Zhumapo incident, the whole city was panicked, and everyone understood that the city was about to face a huge overturn, and its top and bottom were about to be reversed.

Because the fortune ships came, dozens of fortune boats were anchored at the mouth of the Rimac River in the Callao Bay northwest of Lima City, even the residents who had been there could not judge how many fortune boats were sent by the Ming Dynasty, only that the official document handed over to the Governor's Palace by Du Tong, the commander of the Ming army, said that all Spanish ships in Lima City must be left behind, and those who left the port will return to Spain by the Ming transport ship, and all the goods will be counted when they board the ship.

The residents who live on the long coastline west of the city will be woken up every morning by the sound of trumpets and cannons coming from the distant sea, which is the routine exercise of the Ming army at sea, they drove out the Spanish warships parked in the port of Lima City, hoisted their sails, fixed the rudder, and drifted on their own, and the warships and gunboats of the Ming Empire were wandering around, bombarded with ship guns.

There is a Caravel today, a Clark tomorrow, and a Galen the day after tomorrow, and if it is not sunk, it will be brought back in the evening and the bombardment will be carried out tomorrow.

The three Ming fleets happily carried out recreational activities at sea every day - in fact, this was Du Tong's deterrent tactic.

He had three Chihai-class thousand ship formations from Changsheng and Jiexian, one patrolling and one garrisoning every day, and finally the fleet took a Spanish ship to the sea, from north to south, passing along the coast of Lima City, to ensure that the sound of the cannon could be heard by the inhabitants of the city, and that the unmanned Spanish ship with fixed rudder would not crash into the shore.

Du Tong is using this kind of ostentatious means to tell the Spaniards in Lima City, you will never be able to beat the Ming Dynasty.

Why?

Just because he has a formation of a thousand households that can play with 2,000 catties of gunpowder at sea a day, it is not unreasonable to play for a month.

The right to let the artillery train, do you Spain have the ability? No, the artillery on my ship fires out more guns in a month than your artillerymen fire in a lifetime.

How does this compare? Not to mention the artillery, few Spanish musketeers were fully trained, and they felt that they could fight a battle with twelve rounds of ammunition...... Your fleet spends its days training in the offshore waters with gunpowder that can blast a city open in war?

Truth be told, this was a great blow to the morale of the Spanish legionnaires in Lima, even far more than the news that Governor Toledo had ordered the evacuation of the legionnaires in Peru.

Everyone knew that at this moment the choice was to escape.

But the sound of Du Tong's cannons on the shore made people accept the fact of fleeing.

In their acceptance of this reality, the Ming army moved much faster and more decisively than they did.

Due to the order of the governor, the two largest Galen ships of their navy had been driven away by the Ming army, and other large and small ships were also pulled to the sea by the Ming army and sunk, and the coastal defense battery did not receive the order to shoot, and the legionnaires stationed in the fort watched like marionettes as the Ming army landed at their garrison port, and drove the Spanish soldiers on board one by one, but did not dare to do the slightest obstruction.

The change in Zhumapo was not far off, and fifty-six Ming soldiers had their two companies withdrawn during the conflict, and if such a thing was destined to happen again, who would want it to happen to them?

Everything is going on step by step in people's reluctance.

The first people to evacuate were the nobles of the peninsula, most of whom had their own small boats, and they also complained a lot about the fact that the Ming army had taken away all the ships, especially when it came to checking their luggage.

It is normal for some belongings to disappear for no reason, but to their surprise - no, no one has lost their belongings because of the inventory, even if a Spanish nobleman has a few pieces of gold in a box naked, it will not be stolen by the flag army who checked it.

On the contrary, they are often punished for carrying the indigenous slaves they want to take away in their luggage, and the real estate and property certificates issued by the Viceroyalty of Peru in the past are all scrapped, and all documents related to Peru cannot be taken away, and they are not even allowed to buy and sell land.

At this moment, the city of Lima is already in chaos.

The Ming army only took over the port and the sea, the nobles gathered in the city after packing up their everything, the legionnaires were demoralized, and the merchants, mercenaries, and villains who could not be taken away by the nobles or had no intention of leaving at all relied on their military superiority to show their fangs to this huge city.
