Chen Mu went to Panama as soon as he got the news.

He arrived in Panama with 1,120 well-equipped Beiyang Banner Army of Juniper's headquarters.

At least from this point of view, the monks of Lima are in the right direction.

The soldiers of the Qilinwei were joining the maritime flag army at the dock to unload the ship's artillery and carry the baggage, and Chen Mu had galloped towards Panama City under the escort of his own soldiers.

To be honest, when the matter was first reported to Chen Mu, he really thought it was a little joke made by Deng Zilong.

Just as Deng Zilong learned in front of Lin Manjue, Chen Mu also thought so in his heart, let alone shooting and fighting, even if he raised his fists, the Spaniards would not dare to fight his soldiers!

When it was confirmed that this was a fact that happened in Colombia a few days ago, Chen Mu's brain was about to explode.

The Beiyang Flag Army scattered in Asia and Europe, it is no exaggeration to say that he has seen everyone, although he is not impressed by everyone, including the general banner Tang Dazhang, but everyone has seen and said at least one word.

Now thirty-seven banner troops, including officers, have been killed, and judging by their deeds, they are all good officers and good flag soldiers.

When there is no doubt about death, the officers take the lead, the small flag, the deputy flag, and the preaching take the lead, and when they can live, the flag army protects the lives of the officers, and the soldiers who were originally unrelated are effectively mobilized, organized, managed, get along day and night and inject faith, and their cohesion even exceeds that of the father-son soldiers and brother soldiers of the old army.

They almost showed Chen Mu's highest requirements for the Beiyang Flag Army.

This is almost Chen Mu's demand, and he is very unwilling in his heart: how can a force composed of fifty-six people block the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Buxi Army?

The source of his unwillingness was not to blame Tang Dazhang and others, but that he believed that if Tang Dazhang's troops resolutely formed a formation to resist or retreat, the casualties would be less.

The death squad formed by the two small banners on their own initiative was tragic and well-intentioned enough, but it had broken the already insignificant organization of the General Flag Department, and if the entire General Flag Department took the opportunity of the firepower to assemble and charge, it might not be able to counterattack the enemy forces in the narrow strip of tax cards and force them to retreat...... But this is the afterthought of God's perspective knowing that the two general flags on the flanks and the resting aboriginal volunteers nearby heard the sound of cannons.

Chen Mu knows very well that people are not machines.

It is also clear that the ultimate purpose of the organizational form of the army is to organize individuals who are scattered like adults into dragons.

The individual strength is small but the collective strength is great, and a well-trained, morale-like rainbow, full of honor, forgetting life and death, and willing to break the rear, may not be able to defeat an inferior army of 3,000 men when it occupies a favorable position, but the morale is uneven, the fighting spirit is weak, and the musket can be fired at the sound of a single turn backwards.

"Don't look at it, I've read the information seventeen or eighteen times on the ship, what about Tang Dazhang?"

As soon as Chen Mu arrived in Youjing, Deng Zilong had already prepared all the required materials, but it was not surprising compared to the information delivered to the military government before, more than 40 officers under Deng Zilong and Lin Manjue in Youjing gathered in the capital to prepare for the meeting, just waiting for Chen Mu to arrive.

There is no need to report these things, people know that Chen Mu will definitely come, and they know what he will do when he comes.

This man's mind and consistent style are too easy for subordinates to understand, which is almost impossible to see in a person of this level in the past, but in this day and age - it is possible.

In a sense, he is no longer a person, but the embodiment of the rising status of the soldiers of the Ming Empire and the embodiment of the highest honor of the imperial soldiers.

"Humble duty!"

Tang Dazhang didn't expect the first thing the marshal to do when he entered the council hall was to find him, standing on the penultimate seat near the door, he hurriedly left his seat and saluted, and the penultimate was the small flag Xiang Denghu who knocked him unconscious with pier arrows on the battlefield...... As for Xiang Denghu, he was specially asked by Chen Mu to be called.

"The battle is very good, your subordinates are all warriors, Chen has sent the battle report to Xiazhou urgently, and the court will reward you in the spring next year, Xiang Denghu."

As soon as Chen Mu's words fell, Xiang Denghu, whose neck beside Tang Dazhang was exposed with bandages wrapped around his body, also left his seat and saluted: "Humble duty!" ”

"If you don't respect the chief's order, you should be dismissed and sent back to the township, but the chief of the guard is anxious, and he will be fined for one year for the time being, and the fine will be executed after the court commends him."

The two of them hugged their fists together and said: "Humble and orderly, thank you!" ”

Chen Mu glanced at the many officers in the hall, and then he let out a sigh and said: "The corpse of the dead flag army can be taken away by the Western Army?" ”

This time it was Lin Manjue's turn to answer, and he arched his hand and said: "The Western Army is retreating in a hurry, not only did they not take away the corpses of our army, but they also did not take away some of their own corpses, and there are still fifty-five corpses on the front line, including the corps commander Godot, who have not been taken away. ”

"The Western Army once sent people to ask for it, but the border guards did not give it; However, our army carried 12 poles of the world's peace guns, and each banner army carried property, fire, water bottles, a tiger squat cannon, and 40 catties of gunpowder and other equipment for the Western Army. After Lin Manjue finished speaking, he took a breath before continuing: "Now the equipment has been assembled for the Western Army, waiting for me to receive it." ”

Chen Mu didn't speak, and no one dared to return the corpse...... Who knows how much silver this money-addict marshal will ask the Spaniards for these corpses.

Chen Mu didn't answer the words about the corpse or the instrument, he just asked, "What is Peru doing now?" ”

"On the third day of the Garrison Rebellion, the Governor ordered the transfer of Chilean troops from the south and the collection of Godot legionnaires to Lima, and six days later the garrisons were completely reduced and the Potosí silver mines ceased production at the same time."

Lin Manjue said from memory, glanced down at the information, raised his head and said: "At present, more than 8,000 troops have been assembled near Lima, 30 small boats and 2 large ships in the port to deal with the conflict. ”

"Okay, I don't apologize if something happens, I guess I know that apologizing won't have any effect, so I just don't die and struggle, it's really okay."

Chen Mu nodded one after another, and finally sneered, and then nodded: "Thirty-two boats, then their ships will be stuffed in the harbor and don't come out." ”

"Receive it, return the corpses to them, there is nothing left for the corpse of the broken legion commander, send an official document to them to take all the corpses away before the fifteenth day of the first month of the Ming calendar, including the dried corpse of Pizarro in the church of Lima, all the Spanish ancestral graves in Peru, El Cucuador, and Colombia and put them in coffins and put them on the ship, and Haiphong will allow these ships to leave the port before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and sail out of the New World and return to Spain by the southern route...... Other than that, the Spaniards who want to stay in the New World should stay here. ”

"Dashuai, this is going to war?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "I didn't say war, try their reaction, let's ignore them first, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the sea." Between Panama and Medellin, it is necessary to assemble 3,000 households of Beiyang Banner Army and 1,000 households of Lin Shuai guerrilla army, and the soldiers will be dispatched by Deng Shuai, and Chen will also have 1,000 households to land, and immediately go to the border line to prepare for the occupation of Cali City and the opening of the passage to El Cuador. ”

"Chen is ready to pay the wages of the Potosi miners, and now he gives them the right to choose, whether everyone leaves before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, or fights and then leaves."
