Chapter 26 Frontier Defense

Lautaro was seriously injured.

Before the siege of Kali City was removed, Lautaro had been sent to Medellin by his soldiers, which was now the southern border of Ujing of the Ming Empire for treatment.

However, there are only ordinary military doctors in Maicheng, and Lautaro's subordinates have sent riders to Panama to seek better help from Deng Zilong.

This is also the most criticized point of the Spanish Peru Governor's District.

There is no chance to capture cities and land in Colombia. As long as Lautaro conquers a piece of land and drives out the Spanish Legionnaires, they will never have the chance to retake this land.

Because the Ming Youjing Guards Flag Army behind Lautaro would bring the border marker over, the flag army dragged the tiger squatting cannon with bird guns and pulled out the warning, even if the Spanish army beat the Lautaro guerrillas again, they were helpless.

Lautaro's soldiers retreated thirty miles backwards and fled into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming soldiers, who were stronger than calf, would show off their bird guns and guns when the Spanish pursuers approached, pointing to the boundary marker and let the Western Army retreat ten miles.

Leave the time to calmly scheduling the army on the border, and accumulate strength to come out again.

The Ming army said that this land was given to the Ming Dynasty by Lautaro. They did not tell the Spanish anything else, so they asked back: If I give you land, would you not want it? So I want it, why should I wipe him out? If you want me to wipe out him, at least you should give me the same benefits? In this way, you divide half of the land in Peru and I will clean up him for you.

The Governor of Peru has no right to dispose of Peruvian land, and this matter itself is not valid.

What's the most annoying thing?

The Ming army did not fight with them, they only stood there to scare people; they did not oppose the Spanish army soldiers crossing the border, and they would even introduce the terms of the "Mingxi-Mexico Treaty" to Spanish soldiers in bilingual language. According to regulations, as a friendly allies, any Spanish can enter the Ming Dynasty's Ujing in Asia in a fixed position, always wins, and Mexico in three places - as long as you pay taxes.

"You don't know anything. Our Youjing is a commercial hub. Merchants from the southeast, west and north must go here." The general flag guarding the tax card talked happily, facing the Spanish Legion Commander and the Peruvian Legion behind him, stretched out his sinful hand and looked up: "Three people and half taels of tariffs will benefit."

The commander of the legion stared at the Ming general flag officer who was leaning on the back and sweating from thick armor for a while. He used his math to quickly calculate this complex math problem in his mind. Three thousand is equal to one hundred, no, equal to one thousand!

The Peruvian legion sent from Cali City to pursue the injured Lautaro was not deterred by the mines and cold wooden cannons that were covered with landmines and cold-launched wooden cannons during the pursuit, but was frightened by a thousand and a half taels of travel expenses.

It’s not that the commander of the army had no money, but the Western Army stationed in Peru was the richest force. Their military pay was only three months at most, which was much richer than others. Every soldier could afford this travel expense.

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

Since the southern land was handed over to Shaw Tingda in Chile, Peru's finances have been deteriorating... Although they don't know what's going on, it should be related to Chile in the south. Their prices are always more expensive than Chile. Some people will sell Chile's things to Peru, and some will come here to buy slaves and take them back. More slaves will flee to Chile.

The short Japanese soldiers who were always on the border who spoke to them, "How about the Southern Barbarians?" would also use various excuses to say that they were lost, and crossed the border and took away a few slaves at will - they could not reason with them.

Under this condition, in order to ensure silver mine production and transport it to the king, other expenses in Peru have been reduced to the extreme. The Legion Commander was very sure that no one would remove this excess expense for him.

This was almost two years of living expenses.

I was interested in sending three scouts into the pass to pursue the enemy's tracks. I handed over one and a half taels. Before the soldiers could enter, the bird guns of the soldiers behind the Ming army's general flag fell down again: "Don't go through the pass, please dismount, remove the weapons and armor and store them here. The tax on large animals is one and a half taels, and three horses are three and a half taels in total."

"What if my person who doesn't bring his weapons dies?"

The commander of the legion was almost mad. He felt that the Ming army captain on the opposite side was teasing him. He was so angry that he was pressing down on his thunderous heart and said angrily: "I am the commander of the Peruvian Legion, a Spanish nobleman, and I have three thousand soldiers under him. You are just a team leader of the Ming army, how dare you stop me!"

However, before he could hurry up, the small general flag of the Ming army opposite him sneered first, rolled his eyes and slowly collapsed his hand. The half-two cents made by Changsheng in his palm fell to the ground, with his arms retracted and pressed them on the hilt of the knife at his waist, turned his head and spit out: "It doesn't work if you say it well? Noble, Legion Commander, three thousand troops?"

"I am the right-Beijing defender of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Dazhang, the border guard general, and his brothers are fifty-five."

As he said that, Tang Dazhang's mirror waist knife was pulled out in his hand, and he tied his neck to draw a line on the ground with the tip of the knife: "On the border of Daming, if you don't pay taxes, you will be the governor of Peru and lead 30,000 people and get out of the way. Today you are the commander of the legion. You dare to take another step forward and see who you are tomorrow!"

The low buffalo horn sound came from the sentry towers on the trees. The flag army came out of the tent. The small flag officers competed to organize a team. The flag army holding bird guns loaded the guns and stabbed the muzzles on the wooden fence. The two flag soldiers carried tiger squatting cannons like nothing happened, jogging by the commander of the Western Army and Tang Dazhang, the general flag of the Ming army, and nailed them to the front and began to load and fill the bullets.

There was no one in the simple viewing building temporarily set up on the tree. After a while of sound, a general flag quiver was extended.

The reaction of the Western Army was similar. With the sound of neat steps, three rows of spearmen raised their spears in various positions. Some were placing the spears on their left knee, and some raised their spears over their heads and prepared to poke them. On the edge of the road that was blocked by soldiers, a row of congested clutches were trying to move to the front of the formation.

The legion commander, who was sitting on the straddle battle, moved his throat in his armor with force.

Although I don’t want to admit it, the Ming army captain in front of me was telling the truth.

Of course, he could break through this line of defense composed of fifty-six Ming troops without any effort; this might not necessarily invent the war between the two countries, but who will he be tomorrow?

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

He nodded fiercely, looked at the Ming army general flag deeply, turned his horse's head and issued an order to retreat to his subordinates.

The soldiers were indignant and helpless, so they could only turn around reluctantly.
