Recognize Da Ming's father, this is the most difficult thing that Du Tong, the chief military officer of the garrison in Lima City, has encountered.

Now the city of Lima is separated from two worlds, one is the northwest city where the Ming army is stationed, the shops have been reopened, the fields outside the city are also under the leadership of the Ming army to join the people to start spring ploughing, the coast and river fishing grounds, forest farms, mines have begun to operate, a scene of a hundred ruins waiting to be rebuilt.

Food is not yet self-sufficient, but with the relief of the Turtle Island Fishery and the Panamanian grain boat, people are still alive in the past.

On the other side of the armed square, it is like hell on earth, where the neighbors rob the rebels, the rebels rob, and the rebels want to get out of the city, but they can't get out.

Under the orders of the Chilean overseer Shao Tingda, the northern Chilean border guards broke through the pass by land and sea, and captured another large city in Peru by land, Cusco, which was once the capital of the Incas, and was originally garrisoned by the last royal Vega legion commander of the Incas.

Sixteen light and heavy mixed Zhenshuo general cannons roared outside the city, and the siege troops of Chile composed of samurai, ashigaru, and native archers entered the city along the gap, and the battle lasted less than an hour, and it was not the turn of the Jurchen hoplites to attack, and the leader of the Jurchen soldiers did not finish the sheep captured by Shao Bianjiao outside the city in order to invite hunters to fight, and the defenders had already surrendered.

In fact, if Shao Bianjiao was willing to surrender before the battle, he might have surrendered directly without attacking the city.

In the Spanish population, this city is called Cusco, and in the mouth of the natives, this city is also called Cusco, but the same pronunciation is in the ears of the Ming army who can understand the native language, it is called the navel city.

The navel is the center of the human body, and the name of the city means that the Incas considered it to be the center of the world.

Shao Bianjiao smiled at the name and what it meant.

"Why do so many people in this world think that they are the center of the world, where are there so many centers in the world, only the most powerful is the center."

At sea, Shao Tingda's main task is not to attack Lima City, but to escort a new batch of nitrate to Changsheng, after meeting with Du Tong's patrol fleet, Shao Tingda sent his nephew Shao Dingzhong to lead his nephew Shao Dingzhong to be stationed outside the city to assist Du Tong in blocking the city, and the fleet continued to sail north with nitrate transport ships.

Shao Dingzhong originally thought that this was an ordinary garrison mission, and the overall situation of the entire South Asia had been decided, and if he knew the general trend, just one Lima city would not be able to set off any storms.

Including his 600 Banner Army, they all thought that they had come out of the desert, and this was an excellent opportunity to let the wind out.

But I didn't expect that the fatigue of the garrison here was much higher than that of the Chilean desert.

Before their camp was set up, three groups of people ran out of the city, and they drove them back three times.

It is impossible to distinguish who is a soldier and who is a citizen, the armor is the same, the clothes are the same, the difference is only that some people have grabbed enough in the city and want to run out; Some have been robbed enough in the city and want to run out.

No matter how elite a veteran is, he will degenerate into a beast in the chaotic city of Lima, and people's minds will be mixed, and if they are allowed to fight, they will not be able to use even one-third of their original ability.

In the past, the Spanish legion was not badly equipped and tactically good, but the shortcomings were just that the training was not in place and the troops could not keep up with the supplies.

Not only gunpowder and material supplies rely on caravans to keep up with the intensity of the battle, but the most important thing is that the personnel can't keep up.

In the eyes of the Ming Siyang Military Government, a qualified flag army must first have two years of service experience, and they have not fought a single battle in the past two years, and have been training in Beiyang until the military quality that can be improved by training is perfected, and then stationed in various places.

In the eyes of every Spanish army commander, a qualified phalanx soldier also has two years of service experience, but they have no training system, these two years of experience is to fight in various places controlled by Spain, and those who are still alive after two years must be qualified soldiers.

Beiyang trains ten flag soldiers, and in the end, nine or even ten people can become qualified flag soldiers, and their chances of survival in the first battle are very high, and only 6,000 off-duty soldiers are needed to complete the transformation from 5,600 veterans of the war.

If Spain wants to achieve the same number, among them, there is not one in ten disabled, those who died in battle, those who are discharged, and none of the 30,000 soldiers who have left their jobs will be able to leave this number.

The whole of Spain has a population of only 8 million, which is simply not able to reach such a level, and the subsequent replenishment of soldiers will inevitably cause the combat strength of the troops to fall off a cliff.

In the aftermath of the Massacre of Lima, many soldiers knew that they might never return to Spain alive, that the king's arrears would never be paid, that the strongest will to fight no longer existed, and that the fighting in the city had exhausted the gunpowder.

This kind of battle is as easy as a game for Shao Dingzhong, who is stationed in the south of the city, but it is tiring.

The reason why Du Tong did not allow anyone to leave Lima City was because of the city's prodigious wealth.

They had registered the property of the Spanish evacuated aristocracy, and they generally carried large quantities of gold, silver, and jewelry, which were enough to tempt anyone.

Previously, the military government had promised to allow the Spanish nobles to evacuate, and Du Tong could not interfere, but everything changed after the Spaniards who asked the annexed Spaniards to bring the news that Spain was infected with the plague.

In the face of these nobles who often carry 100 taels or even 120,000 taels of gold and silver, since they can't go, and they have to ask the Ming army, Du Tong thinks there is no need to let them leave Peru with money.

Isn't it better to put all this money in anyone's pocket, even if it is all handed over to the military government in the end, than to let the Spaniards take it away?

The first Spaniard who brought the plague to Spain was named Xiaozuo, by the way, because his nephew Ren Yuer was a Ming man, so this uncle followed his nephew's surname, called Ren Xiaozuo, and his sister was called Ren Xiaoyou.

This side, he walked out of Daming District under the protection of two small banner armies and opened a black market in Lima City.

The business scope of the black market is relatively wide, such as gold and silver treasures, firearms and armor, horses, hounds, sheepskin felts and other items, and even ornaments, ancient paintings, and cultural toys, all of which are purchased at low prices with Wanli Asia Tongbao.

Wanli Tongbao has only one use in Lima City, the center of Lima City, the back door of the demolished cathedral is connected to the Daming District, and the front door has a relief porridge shed set up by the Ming army.

In this place, you can sell cornmeal and sweet potato noodles made by farmers outside the city, and if the amount is huge, you can even buy a ticket to enter Daming District.

The only problem is not to accept gold and silver treasures, nor to accept barter, only accept the Ming Dynasty's Asian Wanli Tongbao, because only when you use the Asian Wanli Tongbao and there is still a Tongbao on your body at the time of the catastrophe, it means that this person is at least a merchant in the Mingxi trade, or has something to do with the Mingxi trade, otherwise why would the Ming Banner Army protect you?
