Chapter 1005: Goosebumps fell to the ground!
Chile's Atacama Desert is the driest place in the world, often without rain for many years, and the Andes Mountains to the east act as a barrier to the moist air from the Amazon basin that can form rain clouds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but in such a harsh natural environment, there are still human beings living here.
In particular, after the saltpeter and guano resources here were gradually developed, the population and economy here ushered in a long-lasting and powerful explosion.
As the central port developed by Chen Han in northern Chile, the population of Lieyang Port has grown to tens of thousands in a few years. Boatloads of Chinese and Indians were sent here, and when there was no water, they used dense nets to catch the dense fog that rolled over the mountain peaks.
Although it doesn't rain in the Atacama Desert, there is a cold snap from the Antarctic that produces a lot of fog and clouds;
Let the dense fog condense into water droplets on the surface of the net, and then use the pipe to attract the application. They use this method to store water, and they also have steam stations, a small amount of groundwater collected from the aquifer, and learn from the local indigenous people to grow olives, tomatoes and cucumbers.
A few years later, a decent port city has risen in Lieyang Harbor.
And if anyone has a good understanding of Chile in later generations, looking at the map of Chile today, you can find that the port of Lieyang here is the largest port city in the north of Chile in the later generations, Iquique.
Just as Chen Han's army poured into Colombia like a tide, and when the Third Sino-Western American War officially broke out, a conference on the fate of South American Indians was being held in the second building of an official guest house in Lieyang Harbor.
Portraits of Tupac Amaru III of Western Peru, Juan of Eastern Peru, and Borja of Ecuador are displayed in the room. In order to express the remembrance and nostalgia of the delegates to the Indian martyrs.
Amaru III, Juan and Borja, in previous years, were role models and national heroes for all of South America's Indians. These three men led the rebel army against the tyranny of Spain, and with the support and guidance of China, they dealt a heavy blow to the colonial rule of the Spaniards and boosted the morale of the oppressed Indians throughout South America.
Even if they all died in the end, they were heroes who would always be remembered by the Indians.
Well, that's all cliché. To put it more honestly, they are all cannon fodder in China.
But even if the ashes left over after the death of cannon fodder are valuable, Chen Han can also lift the cannon fodder again. With the beginning of the Third Sino-Spanish War, the Indians of the Americas were also on the move.
For example, the Mapuche people in southern Chile, their current Grand Chieftain Sandos, came to the port of Lieyang on a Chinese clipper.
Although China has achieved the right to rule the whole of Chile in terms of law and law, the Chinese have not interfered too much in the Mapuche activity area in southern Chile and respect the rights of the Mapuche people very much. There are just a number of warehouses, temples, hospitals and schools in the Mapuche area. Business is fair, people are very kind, and superb medical skills make the Mapuche people rely on them. Over the past few years, the two sides have established initial trust.
So Santos came, and not only did he come, but Sandos also came with four of the more powerful chieftains of the Mapuche population. If something happens to the five of them, the Mapuche people will be leaderless, and they will also be stirred up for a while.
The Ucho people of the Argentine savannah also came, as well as the Charua of Uruguay, as well as the Quechua and Ayimara of Bolivia.
More than a dozen Indian branches, dozens of chiefs, gathered together.
Chen Han's aim, of course, was to hope that they would move on their own and 'fight heroically for the happy life of their nation'.
The Mapuche did the most perfect, and their tribe was armed before Sandos came to Porto Lieyang. With the support of Chen Han, the Mapuche already had five or six thousand muskets and dozens of artillery pieces, of which flintlock pistols accounted for at least 10%. Compared with the level of armament of the Indians in the past, the Mapuche people died happily.
Their people in the Argentine city of Tomoreno have already faced off against the local Spaniards. They set up forts and fortifications in their settlements, because Tomoreno was originally a multi-ethnic city, and even the city had Indian settlements. The local Mapuche were ready for battle.
That's amazing!
In the Mapuche region of this time and space - southern Chile and southwestern Argentina - the Indians were much more powerful than at the same time in history. In the entire city of Tomoreno, the area of the Indian settlement accounts for a quarter, and there are tribes outside the city echoing it, and the Spaniards know that this is a hidden danger, and they do not dare to act rashly.
Tomoreno is a small town, backed by the Zico River and north of the Great Central Highlands, where there are not many whites and mulattoes.
The large area north of Tomoreno, the tribes of the Mapuche people, all armed at this time, were also armed.
Of course, the whites here are just as ready for battle! Santa Cruz, the capital of the local Spanish colonial city, on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth of the end of the Chico River, was also fully mobilized by this time, and the Indians there were also expelled from the city.
There are still a few places in the entire Mapuche area where the atmosphere is as tense as in the multi-ethnic city of Tomoreno, and now there is a tense situation in which street fighting is about to begin.
Like a barrel of explosives filled with gunpowder, as long as there is a trace of open flame, it is a big explosion.
Now Sandos and they have come to Liege to gather, and the matter of launching an uprising is a major premise, and another important purpose is to get more material things from the Chinese.
How is it possible that such a large rally is held at a time when the situation is so tense that it is about to tear its skin apart? Here are the Indian chiefs who do not know the importance of firearms? The power of the spear is incomparable to that of the spear and the short bow.
The Indians of Lieyang Harbor also knew the importance of today, and although they lived a life of 'happiness and peace', they thought of the greater number of compatriots in the interior, and these Indians felt the same way, and gathered outside this guest house one after another, and surrounded the venue on three floors and three floors outside.
Everyone knew that something big was going to happen, and they all looked excited.
When Zhang Gou, the garrison of Lieyang Port, accompanied by Zheng Ji, the Chilean Metropolitan Protector, and Shen Shiying, the deputy governor and chief of staff of Chen Hanmei's garrison, walked into the venue together, they were greeted by waves of cheers.
Zheng Ji smiled and nodded frequently to everyone, he enjoyed this moment very much, about the future of him and Zhang Gou, Shen Shiying had already talked to them, the number two person in the future of the South American Metropolitan Protectorate!
After the imperial court took South America, even if it immediately sealed the country, it was not a matter of two sentences to completely settle South America. Just as the Viceroyalty of Mexico was established in the past, the Metropolitan Protectorate of South America must now be established as well.
The Metropolitan Protectorate was set up under the Dadu Protectorate, just like the Metropolitan Governorate under the Spanish Governorate, but there was no longer a Governorate in the Chen Han official government system, and it became the Metropolitan Protectorate.
This is not the same as the original governor of Nanmingzhou. Zheng Ji has been in the position of governor of Nanming Prefecture for ten years, but he has not gained any benefits for the Zheng family, and his own development is not too big. He was then transferred to the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, and after being hung up for a while, he was sent to Chile.
Now he can see the benefits.
Although Chile's saltpeter and guano are mainly supplied to the Americas, this 'profit' is much higher than in the time of Southern Mingzhou. In the position of the protector of Chile, Zheng Ji sold the vassal king many times under the permission of the rules, and made a lot of benefits for the Zheng family.
But this is not as good as the deputy position of the Metropolitan Protectorate of South America, this position corresponds to the whole of South America, so it has to be related to how many dignitaries and dignitaries in the country, and it has something to do with it. And the Chilean capital vacated after his promotion was replaced by Zhang Gou, which is really bitter for the two of them.
Although the second-in-command of the Dadu Protectorate cannot be compared with the first-in-command, Zheng Ji is also the master who knows the indication of 'overseas feudal country'. He knew all too well the benefits.
Those 'benefits' do not necessarily have to be real money, and personal debts are more profitable. And it's not going to be a two-person debt of affection, but a debt of ten, twenty, thirty. His Zheng family is about to develop! Thinking of this, he raised his hand high and motioned for everyone to be quiet and listen to Shen Shiying's speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you, that the Imperial army has invaded Medellín and that half of Colombia has been captured by the Imperial army. The local Chibucha [Indians] took part in the battle to overthrow the tyranny of the Spaniards......"
There was already a cheer below, whether it was real joy or a shout of the situation, 'Indians should use struggle to pursue a better life tomorrow' has been shouted by the Chinese for months, and now it is finally time to realize it!
"Dear chiefs, a beautiful, rich, vast, tranquil, peaceful country belonging to all of us is about to appear before us all! The Indians no longer had to be oppressed and exploited as brutally as the Westerners. "Because China replaced the Westerners as the ruler of the land. Shen Shiying laughed out loud on the psychological side, America is not the America of Europeans, and it is not the America of Indians, but the America of Chinese.
It won't be long before Chinese countries will bloom all over the South American continent, and one of them is his Shen family.
However, verbally, Shen Shiying continued to fool the Indians:
"The Indian civilization is a great, glorious civilization, and all Indians should enjoy a free life. You should live in this land like your master, enjoying the resources, the land, the wealth, and all that is available here!
But 'freedom' does not come out of nowhere, and the Indians, who have been oppressed by Westerners for 300 years, should understand the weight of the word 'freedom'. There has never been freedom in the world that can be gained without paying, there has never been liberation that can be achieved without struggle, and the Indians have been fighting against the whites for so many years for a better life for themselves, and now is the time for everyone to fight for the final victory.
Take up your weapons and attack the Westerners whose pores are permeated with filth and filth! Prove to the whole world and to the emperor of China that the Indians are brave! Fight, for the happiness of tomorrow, fight, for a better life! ”
Shen Shiying and Zheng Ji and Zhang Gou beside him, the goosebumps on their bodies have fallen to the ground.
