Wild North America 1846

The team led by Captain Pan Laoxi stayed in Wujia Town for two days. After repairing, they set off again to the north. This time they were accompanied by 66 Wujia Town militia cavalry led by Wu Ahu. The overall strength increased to more than 640 cavalry.

Because Wu Erbao was inseparable from the more important construction of the base camp, he could only stay in Wujia Town. On the one hand, he had to urge the Indian slave workers to speed up the construction of Big Turn Fort. On the other hand, he also had to arrange an escape route for the entire armed team and the women, children and their families.

.

The so-called; Cunning Rabbit Three Caves.

The territory chosen by Wu Erbao covers an area of ​​more than 400 square kilometers. There are mountains deep into the plains in both the north and south directions, and large areas of lush forests. It is not difficult to choose a secret place as a retreat camp to avoid encountering the pressure of the soldiers.

At that time, both jade and stone were destroyed.

Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires

Rose Palace, the seat of the Presidential Palace

This is a standard 19th-century Italian-style building. The entire building is three stories high, but the east building plus the basement level is four stories.

The main entrance of the Rose Palace faces Rivadavia Street, and all important guests enter and exit through this door.

In 1850, based on the suggestion of then-Argentine President Domingo Salmendo, the exterior walls were painted pink (previously white). This color has been used by successive governments, so the presidential palace is also called

Rose Palace.

"Urquiza is playing with fire. This is an attempt to drag the whole of Argentina into a war that is bound to lose. Just look at what happened to the once powerful United States of America. After provoking the Tang Empire,

We will all be finished by then." President Mitre shouted loudly with an ugly face.

The anxiety of the federal provinces is completely understandable. The remaining seven or eight northern Argentine provinces have a total population of less than 610,000 (excluding the indigenous Indians who fled). With one increase and one decrease, the Buenos Aires Province

With the strength of one province, the population reached 886,000, of which 1/10 was the refugee population absorbed, further strengthening its strength.

These central provinces are territories that Argentine whites have wrested from the Mapuche people in the past decade or so. Coupled with the interference of the 10-year civil war, the real development has not lasted long, and it is basically an extensive and laissez-faire state.

.

This simply doesn't work in Argentina. People inside are quarreling at home, so how can it be possible to communicate unanimously to the outside world?

The government must act quickly to organize a delegation to negotiate with the Tang Empire on territorial demarcation issues. This is urgent.

Looking at neighboring Chile, why was it able to reach a border mutual understanding agreement with the armed militia of the Tang Empire so early? Determine their respective spheres of influence?

That's because Chile is under a military government that speaks with one voice from top to bottom. It retreated slightly in the face of the tough Tang Empire and established the final demarcation line early in the form of a demarcation treaty.

President Mitre's words triggered a buzz of discussion. Most people expressed strong dissatisfaction with Urquiza's military adventure. Some people cursed emotionally, but there were not many measures that could be taken.

What you are invading emotionally is not the territory of the province of Buenos Aires. It has nothing to do with you. It is too despicable to hang it high and try to use outsiders to weaken the power of the federal province!

Over the past year

The biggest question now is;

This has intensified the conflict between the federal provinces and the province of Buenos Aires, which is dominated by the central government (most of the central government officials are powerful officials in the province). The national reconciliation that has just been eased is in danger and is on the verge of a public fall-out.

Of course, the central government is trying its best to safeguard Argentina's interests, but it must take reality into account.

Many short-sighted Argentinian white people are hot-headed, impulsive, and have more enthusiasm than rationality. They follow the hard-line rhetoric and clamor, "We must use muskets to drive all the Orientals out of South America." This is a very dangerous rhetoric tendency.

In other words, the white colonists drew the territory at will, and who owned it belonged to whom. There was neither government management nor property deed documents and land ownership certificates, and there was no clear boundary where it was?

This is where we get into trouble. The Tang Empire launched a war of conquest against the Mapuche people. These territories can be identified as places where the Mapuche people have been nomadic for generations. Why should they be considered the white people of Argentina?

The Argentinian whites who entered the central region early on drove away the Mapuche people with muskets, and armed immigrant groups from the Tang Empire also swarmed into the area, creating a crisscross situation.

"Returning to the government's established track is at the expense of the interests of the United Provinces, right? We will never accept a humiliating treaty in which we lose power and land, let alone make deals with powerful powers. The people of the United Provinces will defend every inch of their territory to the death, right?

Is the government ready to compromise?" Deputy Speaker Gutarez stood up angrily and asked.

The Tang Empire greatly occupied hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in the provinces of La Pampa, Mendoza, San Luis, San Juan, La Rioja, and Cordoba to the north.

The central provinces were completely eroded.

Because after resolving the internal disputes, we want to continue to expand the land southward, all the way to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, conquer the Mapuche people, and use it as the back garden of Argentina.

Argentina cannot provide strong evidence to prove that the land in these central provinces has belonged to Argentina since ancient times.

With the Tang Empire's always domineering style, how could it be possible to accept such territorial demands?

The Argentine government urgently needs to establish a border with the Tang Empire. This is a basic demand based on territorial disputes, and it also strives to avoid further losses.

About 70,000 to 80,000 whites fled into the province of Buenos Aires, with casualties ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 (estimates from the federal provinces, historians believe they are generally high, and related figures from the Tang Empire)

There were only three to four hundred people), which was already a naked invasion.

Those who stood up to express their excitement were all political forces representing the federal provinces, but they were met with tit-for-tat rebuttals from the local forces in Buenos Aires, and the two sides fell into a quarrel.

Paraguay's military dictator López Jr. made crazy calls for war. He would not hesitate to go to war with Brazil and Argentina for the Uruguay issue. I think war is actually inevitable.

Losing so much land in a row, although these areas have not been developed for a long time and the number of local white ranchers is relatively small, has also had a serious impact on the strength of the federal province and the land has been greatly reduced.

"The issue mentioned by Mr. Samuel is very important and one of the current focuses. I will personally lead the government delegation to the city of Paraná in the province of Entre Rios to meet with Urquiza as the representative

We will engage in all-round contact with the radical forces in the federal provinces and strive to dissuade them from their irrational and reckless behavior and return to the government's established track."

Okay, okay, the situation we are facing is very serious and we cannot continue like this.

Although Argentina ended the civil war in 1862 and achieved national reconciliation.

However, the province of Buenos Aires did not achieve an overwhelming victory. The federal province still maintained a strong independent military and political power and did not listen to Buenos Aires on major issues.

"The focus of the conflict now is that the area occupied by the Tang Empire's militia conflicts with the demands of the federal provinces, but no one can come up with a legally binding basis or a historically reliable demarcation treaty. This is a deal.

Confusing account.

If you are in a hurry, the rabbit will bite you!

If it drags on any longer, I wonder what dangerous moves Urquiza will make?

The government's attitude is to avoid a territorial war with the Tang Empire at all costs, and focus on uniting Brazil to solve the big trouble in Paraguay to avoid being attacked from both sides. This move has been approved by the president.

At this time, it is impossible for Argentina to go to war with Paraguay and the Tang Empire at the same time. This is unrealistic and impossible, and is tantamount to self-destruction." Prime Minister Milian del Brazo stopped everyone's chaotic speeches and said solemnly.

Looking around, he continued;

“The demands of the federal provinces must be taken seriously to prevent their reckless actions from dragging the entire Argentina into the abyss.

The reality is extremely cruel. Ever since the Tang Empire launched its desert expedition, the dream of a large Argentine territory has been shattered and turned into an unattainable delusion.

For example, privately sheltering desperate indigenous Indian tribes, supporting indigenous armies dominated by Indian warriors, etc. were all decisions made without authorization and did not go through the central government.

The interests of the federal provinces and the Buenos Aires government were not consistent. The Tang Empire's troops and armed regiments that landed in the South American desert expedition did not enter the Buenos Aires province on a large scale and maintained a certain degree of restraint.

"...

Prime Minister Milian del Brazo's words were so serious that the small banquet hall was silent for a moment, and then was drowned out by angry shouts.

The Buenos Aires provincial government turned a blind eye to the Tang Empire's unbridled colonial expansion to the north, and responded with the government's slow and procrastinating administrative efficiency, which simply made the federal provinces furious;

As for the territorial disputes with Chinese colonists in central Argentina, what criteria will the government use to negotiate?

When Prime Minister Milian Delbrazo saw people from the United Provinces standing up to express their objections again, he suddenly had a splitting headache. He glanced at President Miter subconsciously and saw that the president was staring at the pattern on the dome with attention the whole time.

I'm fascinated by it, as if I want to copy it.

Don't try to kidnap the Argentine government. No one in Buenos Aires is willing to go to war with a huge empire with a population of 40 million. This is the final bottom line."

As for the expansion of losses, of course it was the fear that the armed militia of the Tang Empire would continue to move north.

White armed colonists and Chinese armed pioneer groups frequently exchanged fires, hundreds or even thousands of them a year, and suffered heavy losses.

only this

We have no convincing evidence, and the federal province's claim to return to the border before May 1, 1863 is just the fantasy of some people after taking too much marijuana.

gentlemen

But what is being debated now is what scale should be used to survey the boundary?

Is it the boundary line between the two sides before May 1, 1863 advocated by the hard-liners in the United Provinces, or is it the current line of actual control of the two sides' forces, or should we make more concessions on the territorial issue, lower our posture, and make concessions?

Different from the indigenous Indians with backward productivity, the armed colonization regiments of the Tang Empire that landed in South America were mainly composed of excellent cavalry, with strong military organization, advanced weapons, and strong combat effectiveness. They beat the local white ranchers to tears and had to carry

Families with children left the above-mentioned central provinces in large numbers.

This is a small banquet hall in the Presidential Palace. It is filled with senior officials from the government and parliament. Judging from their appearance, most of them are black-haired Southern European whites. They come from Spain and Italy, the main immigration countries. There are also a few blond hair and blue eyes.

The Anglo-Saxons are the local white British plantation owners and are extremely powerful in the political arena.

Before January 1863, the Tang Empire had not yet set foot on South American soil. Should they all go back to their homeland?

Who has the strength to do this?

Are you with the federal province?

In order to guard against unrealistic fantasies and impulsive armed actions on the part of the federal provinces, the Argentine government has decided;

Once the federal province takes unauthorized actions, the Argentine government will declare a complete separation from the federal province. It will neither endorse the federal province’s unauthorized actions nor contribute a soldier or a peso to the dispute. All serious consequences will be yours.

bear.

The federal provinces are in a heated quarrel with the Argentine central government. The positions of the two sides are very different, and the possibility of reaching an agreement is slim.

The unified Argentina is facing the most severe situation. We must put the overall situation first, carefully handle differences with neighboring countries, manage conflicts, and avoid conflicts that escalate into large-scale conflicts or even wars. We cannot afford such a heavy burden.

cost……"

Under the gaze of the Tang Empire's tidal wave of armed militia, it was difficult for the federal provinces to contend with it alone, and the central government, mainly the province of Buenos Aires, did not act. The anger of the federal provinces is completely understandable.

"Mr. Prime Minister, how can the government prevent Urquiza's possible military adventure? I am referring to the indigenous Indian tribes he has taken in. I heard that he has trained more than 20,000 people and is purchasing guns and ammunition everywhere. They should not be used to deal with people in the wilderness.

A beast, right?”

Everyone here knows: Why were we unwilling to clarify the boundary with the Mapuche people in the first place?

He sighed secretly, and then explained in a gentle tone;

Gutarres is the political force representative of the federal provinces in the Buenos Aires government. His doubts are very representative, and this is where the contradiction between the federal provinces and the central government lies.

Seeing the quarrelsome government dignitaries in front of him, President Mitre remained silent and acted as if you are arguing, but don't affect my thinking about important issues. At this moment, he was already distracted.

President Mitre and Prime Minister Milian del Brazo are rare sober people in the Argentine government. Do they know in their hearts what a terrifying behemoth the Tang Empire is?

How powerful was the United States in the past when it conquered east and west?

Normally, even the British Empire was polite and polite, and discussed everything with nice words, but in the end, the Tang Empire pressed her down and beat her hard, almost to the point of being crippled.

Try not to provoke such a ruthless character if you can.

Thinking of the sharp internal differences, President Miter's head started to hurt again. Things in Argentina were really difficult to handle.
