Dominate the Country

The Atacama Desert in Chile is the driest place in the world. It often does not rain for many years. The Andes Mountains in the east are like a barrier, blocking the humid air from the Amazon River Basin that may form rain clouds. But even in such a harsh natural environment, humans still survive here.

Especially after the saltpeter and guano resources here were developed step by step, the population and economy here ushered in a long-lasting and strong explosion.

As the central port developed by Chen Han in northern Chile, the population of Lieyang Port has grown to more than 10,000 in a few years. Boats of Chinese and Indians were sent here. Without water, they used dense nets to capture the thick fog rolling over the mountains.

Although it does not rain in the Atacama Desert, there are cold currents from Antarctica that produce a lot of fog and clouds;

Let the thick fog condense into water droplets on the surface of the net, and then use pipes to draw it for use. They used this method to store water, and there was also a steam pumping station. With a small amount of groundwater collected from the aquifer, they learned from the local indigenous people to grow olives, tomatoes and cucumbers.

A few years later, a decent port city had risen in Lieyang Port.

Anyone who has a good understanding of Chile in the future can find out from the current map of Chile that Lieyang Port here is Iquique, the largest port city in northern Chile in the future.

Just as Chen Han's army poured into Colombia like a tide and the Third Central and Western American War officially broke out, a conference concerning the fate of South American Indians was being held in Building No. 2 of an official guesthouse in Lieyang Port.

Portraits of Tupac Amaru III of Western Peru, Juan of Eastern Peru, and Borja of Ecuador were placed in the conference room. This is to express the remembrance and nostalgia of the delegates to the Indian martyrs.

Amaru III, Juan and Borja were role models and national heroes for the entire South American Indians in the previous years. These three people led the insurgents against Spanish tyranny. With the support and guidance of China, they dealt a heavy blow to the Spanish colonial rule and inspired the fighting spirit of the oppressed Indians in South America.

Even if they died in the end, they were heroes that would always be remembered by the Indians.

Well, the above are all clichés. To be more realistic, they are all Chinese cannon fodder.

But even if the ashes left after the death of the cannon fodder are valuable, Chen Han can still raise the cannon fodder again. With the beginning of the third Sino-Spanish war, the Indians in America are also ready to move.

For example, the Mapuche people in southern Chile, their current chief Santos came to Lieyang Port on a Chinese speedboat.

The Mapuche people have had a very good life in recent years. Although China has obtained the right to rule the entire Chile in terms of law and logic, 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. It's just that many warehouses, temples, hospitals and schools have been set up in the Mapuche activity area. He is fair in business, kind, and his superb medical skills make the Mapuche people rely on him. Over the past few years, the two sides have established initial trust.

So Santos came, not only did he come, but he also brought four powerful chiefs from the Mapuche group. If something happened to the five of them, the Mapuche would not only be leaderless, but also be in chaos.

The Uchos from the Argentine prairie also came, as well as the Charuas from Uruguay, and the Quechuas and Aymaras from Bolivia.

More than a dozen Indian branches and dozens of chiefs gathered together.

Chen Han's goal was of course to hope that they would move themselves and "fight bravely for the happy life of their own nation."

Among them, the Mapuche did the best. Before Santos came to Lieyang Port, their tribe had completed the armament. With the support of Chen Han, the Mapuche already had five or six thousand muskets and dozens of cannons, of which flintlocks accounted for at least 10%. Compared with the Indians' previous level of armament, the Mapuche people are so happy.

Their tribesmen in the Argentine city of Tomoreno have already started a confrontation with the local Spaniards. They set up forts and fortifications in their residential areas, because Tomoreno is originally a city with a mixture of ethnic groups, and there are even Indian gathering places in the city. The local Mapuche people are ready to fight.

This is really awesome!

In the Mapuche living areas of this time and space - southern Chile and southwest Argentina, the power of the Indians is much greater than that of the same period in history. In the entire Tomoreno city, the area of ​​Indian gathering places accounts for a quarter, and with the tribes outside the city echoing, the Spaniards dare not act rashly even if they know that this is a hidden danger.

Tomoreno is just a small city, backed by the Chico River, and the central highlands to the north. There are not many white people and mixed-race people living in this place.

From the large area west and north of Tomoreno, there are tribes of Mapuche people all over, and at this time, they are all armed.

Of course, the white people here are also ready to fight! Santa Cruz, the capital of the local Spanish colonial city, is on the Atlantic coast and is also the end of the Chico River. At this time, it has been fully mobilized and the Indians there have been driven out of the city.

In the entire Mapuche activity area, there are only a few cities with such a tense atmosphere as the multi-ethnic city of Tomoreno. Now there is a tense situation that is about to start a street fight.

Like a dynamite barrel filled with gunpowder, as long as there is a trace of open flame, it will be a vigorous explosion.

Now that Sandos and the others have come to the Port of Liège for a gathering, launching an uprising is a major prerequisite, and another important purpose is to obtain more materials from the Chinese.

How could such a large gathering be held at a time when the situation was so tense that it was about to break up, and the purpose could not be important? Who among the Indian chiefs here does not know the importance of firearms? The power of guns and cannons is unmatched by spears and short bows.

The Indians in Lieyang Port also know the importance of today. Although they live a "happy and peaceful" life, they can think of the vast number of compatriots in the interior. These Indians feel the same and gather outside this guest house one after another. The venue was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Everyone knew something big was going to happen, and everyone looked excited.

When Zhang Gou, the garrison of Lieyang Port, accompanied by Zheng Ji, the Protector of Chile, and Shen Shiying, the deputy governor and chief of staff of Chen Han's American garrison, walked into the venue, they were greeted by waves of cheers. .

Zheng Ji smiled and nodded and waved to everyone. He was enjoying this moment very much. Shen Shiying had already talked with them about his and Zhang Gou's future, the future No. 2 figure in the Protectorate of South America!

After the imperial court took over South America, even if it immediately sealed the country, it would not be a matter of a few words to completely settle South America. Just like the establishment of the Viceroyalty of Mexico, now the Metropolitan Protectorate of South America must also be established.

The Protectorate's Palace was established under the Governor's Palace, just like the Spanish Governor's District under the Viceroyalty. However, in the Chen-Han government system, the Governor's District no longer existed and became the Governor's Palace.

This is different from the original Governor of Nanming Prefecture. Zheng Ji served as the governor of Nanming Prefecture for ten years, but he did not benefit the Zheng family, and his own development was not great. He was then transferred to the Governor's Office, and after being hung up for a while, he was sent to Chile.

Now he could see the benefits.

Although Chilean saltpeter and guano are mainly supplied to the Americas, the 'profit' is already much higher than in Nanmingzhou. In the position of Protector of Chile, Zheng Ji sold out the vassal king many times as allowed by the rules, which brought considerable benefits to the Zheng family.

But this is not as good as the deputy position of the Protectorate of South America. This position corresponds to the entire South America. How many dignitaries and dignitaries in the country have to be connected and involved. Moreover, Zhang Gou took over the Chilean Protectorate that was vacated after his promotion. It was a blessing in disguise for both of them.

Although the second-in-command in the Imperial Protectorate cannot be compared with the first-in-command, Zheng Ji is also the master who knows the "overseas annexation" signal. He knew the benefits of this very well.

Those 'benefits' may not necessarily be real money, but debts of gratitude can be more profitable. And this will not be one or two debts of gratitude, but may be ten, twenty, or thirty. His Zheng family is going to be prosperous! Thinking of this, he raised his hand high, signaling for everyone to quiet down and listen to Shen Shiying's speech.

"Everyone here, let me tell you the good news. The imperial army has invaded Medellin, and half of Colombia has been captured by the imperial army. The local Chibucha [Indian] people actively participated in overthrowing the Spanish tyranny. Come to battle..."

There are already cheers below, whether they are really happy or shouting in response to the situation, "Indians should use struggle to pursue a better life tomorrow" has been shouted by the Chinese for several months, and now it is finally time to realize it!

"Dear chiefs, a beautiful, fertile, vast, tranquil and peaceful country that belongs to all of us is about to appear in front of all of us! Indians no longer need to be brutally oppressed and exploited by Westerners." Because China replaced Westerners as the ruler of this land. Shen Shiying laughed loudly mentally. America is not the America of Europeans, and it is not the America of Indians, but the America of Chinese people.

It won't be long before Chinese countries will bloom all over the South American continent, and one of them will be from the Shen family.

But verbally, Shen Shiying continued to deceive the Indians:

"The Indian civilization is a great and glorious civilization, and all Indians should enjoy a free life. You should live on this land like masters, enjoy the resources, land, wealth, and everything here in the Americas. !

But 'freedom' does not come out of thin air. Indians who have been oppressed by Westerners for three hundred years should understand the heavy weight of the word 'freedom'. There has never been freedom in the world that can be gained without effort, and there has never been liberation that can be obtained without struggle. The Indians have been fighting the white people for so many years for a better life, and now it is up to everyone to fight for the final victory. A moment of struggle.

Take up your weapons and attack those Westerners whose pores are filled with filth and filth! Prove to the whole world and 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 had goosebumps all over their bodies.
