Chapter 64 The Black Market
To recognize a Ming Dad, this is the most difficult thing that Du Tong, the general garrison in Lima City, encountered.
Now Lima City is separated from two worlds. On the one hand, it is the northwest city where the Ming army is stationed. The shops have been opened again. The fields outside the city are also planted in spring under the Ming army led the people who have surrendered. The fishing grounds, forest farms and mines on the coast and rivers have begun to operate, and there is a scene of destruction.
The food is not enough to be self-sufficient, but there are Turtle Island Fishing Farm and Panama grain ships to help people live in the past.
On the other side of the armed square, it is like a hell on earth. After the neighbors robbed the rioters, the rioters robbed the rioters, the rioters robbed the rioters, and after the rioters robbed the rioters, they wanted to leave the city, but they couldn't get out.
Under the order of Chilean governor Shao Tingda, the northern border guards of Chile advanced together to break through the barriers and captured another large city in Peru, Cusco, on land, which was once the capital of the Incas. It was originally the commander of the Vega Legion of the last Inca royal family. After Vega led his army northwest to Lima, this ancient king relied on the autonomous defense of the nobles to defend vulnerable.
Sixteen mixed light and heavy general Zhenshuo's cannons roared outside the city. Chile was attacked by samurai, siege troops mixed with samurai, archers and local people attacked the city through the gap. The battle lasted less than an hour, and it was not the turn of Jurchen heavy infantry to attack. In order to invite the battle, the leader of the Jurchen soldiers sent hunters to catch the sheep outside the city, the defenders had already surrendered.
In fact, if Shao Bianjiao was willing to surrender before the war, he might have surrendered directly without siege.
Among the Spanish people, this city is called Cusco. Among the local people, this city is also called Cusco. But the same pronunciation is called the Ming army who can understand the language of the local people. It is called the Navel City.
The navel is the center of the human body. The name of this city means that the Incas think it is the center of the world.
Shao Bianjiao smiled at the name and the meaning it represented.
"Why are there so many people in this world who think they are the center of the world? Where are there so many centers in the world? Only the most powerful one is the center."
At sea, Shao Tingda's fleet's main task was not to attack Lima City, but to escort a new batch of nitroso to Changsheng. After meeting Du Tong's sea patrol fleet, Shao Tingda sent his nephew, deputy Qianhu Shao Dingzhong, to lead his troops to help Du Tong block the city. The fleet continued to sail north with his nitrososo transport ship.
Shao Dingzhong thought this was an ordinary garrison mission, and the overall situation in South Asia was decided. If he knew the general trend, a mere city of Lima would not cause any storm.
His subordinates all believed that they came out of the desert, which was an excellent opportunity to let the air.
However, I didn't expect that the garrison was far more tired than the Chilean desert.
Before their camp was built, three groups of people ran out of the city and were driven back three times by them.
It is impossible to tell who is the soldier and who is the civilian. The soldiers and armor are the same and the clothes are the same. The only difference is that some people want to run out after robbing enough in the city; some people want to run out after being robbed enough in the city.
No matter how strong a veteran is, he will degenerate into a beast in the chaotic city of Lima, and his mind will be mixed. If he lets them fight, he will not even be able to use one-third of his original ability.
Let's go, the Spanish army has good equipment and good tactics. The shortcomings are just that the troops cannot keep up with the supply supply.
Not only gunpowder, but also relying on caravans to keep up with the intense battles. The most important thing is that personnel cannot keep up.
In the eyes of the Siyang Military Office of the Ming Dynasty, a qualified flag army must first have two years of experience in service. They have not fought a single battle in the past two years and have been training in Beiyang until they can train the military quality that can be improved to the extreme, and then they will be stationed in various places.
In the eyes of every Spanish legion commander, a qualified phalanx soldier must have two years of experience in service, but they do not have a training system. These two years of experience will be in various places controlled by Spain. Those who are still alive in two years will definitely be qualified soldiers.
Beiyang trained ten flag troops, and in the end nine or even ten people could become qualified flag troops. They had a high chance of survival when they first went on battle. They only needed 6,000 full-time soldiers to complete the transformation to 5,600 veterans in the war.
If Spain wants to achieve the same number, among which, the disabled, those who died in battle, those who were retired, those who were missing, one ten or one ten, and 30,000 full-time soldiers may not be able to leave this number.
The entire Spain has a population of only 8 million, and it is impossible to reach this level. The subsequent replenishment of soldiers will inevitably lead to a cliff-like decline in the combat power of the troops.
After the great robbery in Lima City, many soldiers knew that they might never be able to return to Spain alive, and the king would never be able to pay the military pay owed to them. The strongest fighting will no longer exist, and the fighting in the city also exhausted the gunpowder. They were very likely to collapse in the battle, and everyone was only concerned about running for their lives.
Such a battle is as easy as a game for Shao Dingzhong, who is stationed in the south of the city, but it is just tiring.
The reason why Du Tong refused to allow anyone to leave Lima City is the amazing wealth of Lima City.
They registered the property of the Spanish evacuated nobles, and they generally carried a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, which was enough to touch anyone.
The military government had previously agreed to allow the Spanish nobles to evacuate, and Du Tong could not interfere, but after the Spanish who requested to surrender brought the news that Spain was spreading the plague, everything changed.
The wealth is touching. Faced with these nobles who often carry 100 taels of gold and silver or even 20,000 taels of gold and silver, since they can't leave and ask for the Ming army, Du Tong believes that there is no need to let them leave Peru with money.
Is this money good to go into anyone's pocket, even if it is handed over to the military palace in the end, isn't it better than to let the Spanish take it away?
The first Spanish man who brought about the plague in Spain was named Xiaozuo. By the way, because his nephew Ren Yuer was from the Ming Dynasty, the uncle followed his nephew's surname, Ren Xiaozuo and his sister's name was Ren Xiaoyou. It was because of this nephew that Ren Xiaozuo had a great fortune and met the general Du Tong.
This side allowed him to walk out of the Ming District under the protection of two small flag troops and open a black market in Lima City.
The black market has a wide business scope, including gold, silver, treasures, firearms, weapons, horses, hunting dogs, sheepskin felts, etc., and even decorations, ancient paintings, cultural relics, all of which are purchased at low prices at Wanli Asia Tongbao.
Wanli Tongbao has only one use in Lima City. The Armed Square in the center of Lima City, the back door of the demolished cathedral is connected to the Ming District, and the front door is a relief porridge shed set up by the Ming army.
In this place, if the amount is huge, you can even buy tickets to enter the Ming District by farmers.
