Lautaro's injuries are severe.

Before the siege of Cali could be lifted, Lautaro had been sent by his soldiers to Medellín, now on the southern border of Youjing of the Ming Empire, for medical treatment.

However, Maicheng only had ordinary military doctors, and Lautaro's men had sent riders to Panama to ask Deng Zilong for better help.

This is also the point that the Viceroyalty of Spain and Peru has criticized the most.

There was no such thing as a city or land in Colombia, and once Lautaro had conquered a piece of land and expelled the Spanish legionnaires, they would never have a chance to regain it.

Because the Ming Youjing Guard Banner Army behind Lautaro will move the border monument over, and the Banner Army will drag the tiger squat cannon with a bird gun to pull out the vigilance, even if the Spanish army once again beats the Lautaro guerrilla army to pieces, they are helpless.

Lautaro's soldiers only had to retreat back thirty miles, and then fled into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and one by one, the Ming athletes, who were stronger than calves, would show their bird guns and cannon muzzles when the Spanish pursuers approached, pointing to the boundary monument to make the Western army retreat ten miles.

Lautaro was given time to calmly reorganize his army on the border line and gather strength to get out of the border again.

The Ming army said that this land was given to the Ming by Lautaro, and they didn't say anything else to the Spaniards, so they asked: If I give you land, won't you? So I want, he gave me land, why should I exterminate him? You want me to destroy him, at least give me the same benefits, right? In this way, you divide half of the land of Peru among me, and I will clean him up for you.

The fact that the Viceroy of Peru did not have the power to dispose of Peruvian land was not in itself valid.

What's the most infuriating?

It was the Ming army that did not fight with them, they only stood there and scared people; Nor did he object to the Spanish legionnaires crossing the border, and would even introduce the terms of the Treaty of Mexico to the Spanish soldiers in both Chinese and Spanish, according to the regulations, as friendly allies, any Spaniard could enter the Ming Dynasty's Youjing, Changsheng, and Mexico in Asia in a fixed position - as long as you pay taxes.

"You don't know, our Youjing is a commercial hub, and merchants from the southeast and northwest have to go from here." The general flag guarding the tax card talked eloquently, facing the Spanish legion commander and the Peruvian legion of the Western Army behind him, he stretched out his sinful hand, palm up: "Three and a half taels of customs duties, benefit." ”

The commander of the legion stared at the general flag officer of the Ming Dynasty who was sweating with a flag behind him and covered with thick armor for a long time, and used his mathematical talents to quickly calculate this complex math problem in his mind, three thousand divided by three equals ...... Equal to a hundred, no, equal to a thousand!

The Peruvian Legion, which had been sent from Ciudad Cali in pursuit of the wounded Lautaro, was not deterred by the mines and cold wooden cannons that littered the pursuit, but was intimidated by the cost of a thousand and a half taels.

It's not that the corps commander has no money, but the Western Corps stationed in Peru is the richest unit, and their salaries are only in arrears for a few months at most, which is much richer than others, and every soldier can afford this little money for the journey.

But the commander knew very well in his heart that as long as he asked his subordinates to pay the customs duties in the name of borrowing now, no matter whether he could catch Lautaro or not, the governor of Peru would not reimburse him for the money.

Since the southern lands were handed over to Chile's Shao Tingda, Peru's finances have deteriorated...... Although they don't know what's going on, it should have something to do with Chile in the south, where prices are always more expensive than Chile, and some people will take Chilean things and sell them to Peru, and some people will come here to buy slaves to bring back, and many more slaves will flee to Chile.

At every turn, the short Japanese soldiers who talked to them and always said, 'How are the Southern Barbarians?' would also use all kinds of excuses to say that they were lost, and they crossed the border and took a few slaves with them at will—there was no way to reason with them.

Under these conditions, in order to ensure the production of silver mines and transport them to the king, Peru's other expenses had been reduced to the extreme, and the commander of the army was very sure that no one would write off this extra expense for him.

That's almost two years of his living expenses.

Have the intention to send a scout into the customs to follow the enemy's traces, hand over a half taels, the soldiers have not had time to enter, the soldier's bird behind the general flag of the Ming army fell down again: "Don't break through, please dismount, untie the weapons and armor and store here, the big livestock tax is one and a half taels, and the three horses have a total of three and a half taels." ”

"What if my people die without weapons?"

The legion commander was about to be mad, he felt that the Ming army captain on the other side was teasing him, and he forcibly suppressed his heart that wanted to be angry, and said angrily: "I am the commander of the Peruvian legion, a Spanish nobleman, with three thousand soldiers under my command, you are just a squad leader of the Ming army, how dare you stop me!" ”

But he didn't expect that he was not in a hurry with this sentence, the small general banner of the Ming army on the opposite side sneered first, rolled his eyes and slowly covered the hand stretched out at the same time, and the half tael of the winning money in his palm fell to the ground, retracted his arm and pressed it to the handle of the knife on his waist, and spit out a mouthful: "Does it work to say well?" Nobles, legionnaires, three thousand troops? ”

"I am the guard of the Ming Dynasty, the general flag of the border Tang Dazhang, and the fifty-five brothers under my command."

As he spoke, Tang Dazhang's mirrored waist knife had been pulled out in his hand, and he drew a line on the ground with the tip of the knife on the ground: "At the border of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't pay taxes, you are the governor of Peru with 30,000 people and give me the same way to get out, today you are the commander of the army, dare to take a step forward, and see who you are tomorrow!" ”

The low sound of buffalo horns came from the sentry tower erected on the tree, the flag army came out of the military tent, the small flag officers competed in the whole team, and the flag army with the bird gun set up the gun on the wooden fence, and the two flag soldiers carried the tiger squat cannon like no one trotted past the commander of the Western Army and Tang Dazhang, the general flag of the Ming army, nailed in front of both sides, and began to charge and reload.

The improvised watchtower temporarily set up in a tree was nowhere to be seen, and after a while of the sound of the horn, a quiver of the general flag was extended.

The reaction of the Western army was similar, with the sound of neat footsteps, three rows of spearmen in different positions, some stepping on the tail of the spear on the left knee, some raising the spear above their heads and ready to stab, while at the edge of the road jammed by the soldiers, a column of arquebusiers was trying to move to the front of the formation.

The Legion Leader, who was sitting on his horse, moved his throat shrouded in armor.

Although I don't want to admit it, the Ming army squad leader in front of me is telling the truth.

Of course, he could break through this line of fifty-six Ming troops without much effort; This may not lead to a war between the two countries, but who will he be tomorrow?

I'm afraid that the governor will tie him up and give him to Chen Mu in order to avoid war.

He nodded fiercely, glanced deeply at the general flag of the Ming army, turned his horse's head and gave his subordinates the order to retreat.

The soldiers were indignant and helpless, so they reluctantly turned back.

At this moment, somehow in front of the Western Army, an arquebus was pointed into the sky...... Rang.
