The other end of the sea.

Unlike the small towns in Ecuador or Colombia, Lima is a town deeply influenced by Spain. It is the center of Spain's rule in the New World. Half of Peru gathers in this huge town, where everything the Spanish can get in the New World.

If the new city area near the coast is the area of ​​Lima City, the city is not large. With the Governor's Office, the Inquisition, the Cathedral and the Burning Mansion as the center, the Armed Square where the Killinghouse is located, the streets made of large stones extend radially to the surroundings until they reach the coastline twenty miles away.

In this range, more than 3,000 peninsula nobles lived in the legal sense, each of them was the center of the city like the streets extending from the Armed Square.

They were noble officers, manors, great merchants, monasteries, captains, and all the powerful people on this land.

All kinds of people in the city exist because of them and serve them for their lives.

Beyond these three thousand people, there are 60,000 mixed-race children, who are full of all walks of life, and it is difficult to inherit everything from the Spanish, nor are they too poor to be fed and out of food and clothing. Lima City is full of professions, coachmen, porters, legionaries, sailors, weavers, prostitutes and hiring guards, and there is always a job that can make them eat.

In addition to these 63,000 Spaniards who enjoy rights in the legal sense, there are tens of times the number of indigenous people. No one knows their exact number, and even the Governor of Peru Toledo cannot know... Although they are devoured by this huge city every moment, death is not the difficulty of statistics. The real difficulty is that the Spaniards are too lazy to count.

They would rather count more than 300,000 orders issued over decades than count the indigenous people who may be similar to this number. No one knows how many indigenous people are alive, and the Spanish only knows how many indigenous people died this year.

Such a huge city, the Spanish did not have the appropriate governance methods. Their entire country was only 8 million people. What should we use to manage this giant city with a population of more than 300,000?

Who has such experience?

In other words, even if there is no turbulent situation, if a spark falls, the city will become in chaos.

What's more, at this moment, the Ming army came in large numbers, and the Western army boarded the ship to retreat. After the Zhumapo incident, the whole city was panicked. Everyone knew that the city was about to welcome a massive overturn and its ups and downs were about to be reversed.

Because the blessing ships came, dozens of blessing ships were moored at the mouth of the Rimak River in the northwest of Lima City. Even residents who have been there could not tell how many blessing ships the Ming Dynasty sent. They only knew that the official document handed over to the Governor's Office by the commander of the Ming army, Du Tong, said that all Spanish ships in Lima City must be left behind, and those who leave the port will return to Spain on the Ming transport ship, and all cargo will be counted when boarding the ship.

The residents living on the long coastline in the west of the city were awakened by the sound of cannons coming from the distant sea every morning. It was a routine exercise by the Ming army at the sea. They drove out the warships parked in Spain at the port of Lima City, raised the sails, fixed the rudder, and drifted on their own. The warships and gunboats of the Ming Empire were swimming left and right, and bombarded with ships and gun wheels.

I drove out a Caraville boat today, a Clark boat tomorrow, and a Garen boat the day after tomorrow. I got it back tonight without sinking it and continued to bomb tomorrow.

The three Ming army fleets happily carried out entertainment activities at the sea every day - in fact, this was Du Tong's deterrence tactic.

He had three Chihai-class thousand-capacity ship formations from Changsheng and Jiexian County. One patrols and one garrison every day. Finally, the fleet took a Spanish ship to the sea, from north to south, passing the coast of Lima City, ensuring that the sound of artillery can be heard by the residents of the city, and that the unmanned Spanish ships with fixed rudders would not hit the shore.

Du Tong was using this prodigal method to tell the Spaniards in Lima that you will never be able to beat the Ming Dynasty.

Why?

Just because he, a formation of the Ministry of Revenue, could play two thousand kilograms of gunpowder on the sea a day, he felt relieved when he played for a month.

Just think that artillery training, do you have this ability in Spain? No, the artillery on my boat will bombard more artillery fired in one month than your artillery will in the lifetime.

How can this be compared? Not to mention cannons, Spanish musketeers are rarely fully trained. They have twelve rounds of ammunition on their bodies and think they can fight a battle... Your fleet is training to get gunpowder that can break a city in war all day long?

To be honest, this incident greatly hit the morale of the Spanish Legion soldiers in Lima, far exceeding the news that Governor Toledo ordered the evacuation of the commanders of the Legion in Peru.

Everyone knows that this choice is to escape at this moment.

But Du Tong's cannon sound on the coast made people accept the fact that they ran away.

In the process of their acceptance of this reality, the Ming army's actions were much faster and more decisive than them.

Due to the order of the governor, the two largest Garen ships in their navy had been driven away by the Ming army, and other ships of all sizes were also pulled to the sea by the Ming army. The shore defense turret was not given a shooting order. The soldiers stationed in the fort looked like puppets as the Ming army was approaching their garrison port, driving the Spanish soldiers on the ship one by one, but did not dare to stop them at all.

The Zhumapo Incident is not far away. Fifty-six Ming soldiers asked their two companies to withdraw in the conflict. If such a thing is destined to happen again, who would hope it will happen to them?

Everything is carried out step by step in the reluctance of people.

The first group of people evacuated were the peninsula nobles. Most of them had their own small boats and complained a lot about the Ming army taking away all the ships, especially when it came to checking their luggage, they were extremely resistant.

Checking the luggage will naturally cause some property to disappear for no reason. This is normal, but beyond their expectations - no one lost property because of the investigation. Even if there were Spanish nobles nakedly holding a few pieces of gold in the box, they would not be stolen by the flag army that investigated.

On the contrary, they are often punished for carrying indigenous slaves they want to take away in their luggage. As well as real estate certificates issued by the Peru Governor's District in the past, all the real estate certificates issued by the Peru Governor's District were scrapped, and all documents related to Peru could not be taken away, and they were not even allowed to trade land.

At this moment, the city of Lima is already in chaos.
