Chapter 18 Boundary Monument

The order from the New Spain Governor from Mexico City was passed to the top bridge, ending the garrison here. The Spanish soldiers were worried.

Since the natives of Zhuangyuanqiao removed one of their military stations, they found that the company commander who had lost their subordinates marched north and found that their military station had been razed to the ground. On the ruins where the military stations were originally established, the natives set up a mound in the form of sun worship.

In the shortest time, the company commander contacted two company captains under the same Bernard Legion and mercenaries with the army vendors, and gathered nearly 700 troops to sweep north.

The result was self-evident. After the military station turned into ruins, the dirt mound was erected. After the dirt mound was destroyed, the military station was re-erected.

The original matter would have settled with a massacre, and they didn't even want to pay attention to the original name of the land or who the original owner was, until the imperial flag appeared in the spoils.

The indigenous people would not have such exquisite flags. The Imperial Ming flag was presented to the column colonel by the company captain as a treasure. The colonel gave it to the commander of the legion in Mexico by the same means. Through the mouth of the legion monks who were conscious of goods, the news that a company attacked the Ming army in the north of the New World caused an uproar in Mexico.

In two months, in addition to a column stationed in Mexico City, the Bernal Legion shrank its defense in two columns scattered in a radius of 1,000 gigabits in northern Mexico.

More than two thousand soldiers briefly gave up the north and investigated the east, narrowing the scope of activity to a coastal extension of one hundred ligaments inland. At the same time, Mexico City urgently assembled three legions of the second-generation Spanish-Indian mixed race.

At the same time, the Governor of New Spain through the church ordered the Governor General of Peru to intercept all armed merchant ships stationed in the New World to form a fleet to transport war needs to Mexico City, one of which was the tools and food used to defend the city.

With Mexico City as the center, the entire New Spain Governor's District is about to come and the wind fills the building.

The Governor, the Church, the Tribunal, the Legion Commander, and the Merchant reached an unprecedented consensus on the preparation of the Second Western Ming War.

In the past few years of the First War, although they had little information about the Ming Dynasty, they had made great progress compared to that year.

For example, when the Philippine Governor Regasby fled back to Madrid from the western route, letting them know that the Ming Empire had a terrible control over the South China Sea, a Ming pirate could easily recruit two thousand soldiers from their colonies, not because he was a pirate, but simply because he had the adoptive father of a Ming official.

After Halloween, the situation in the two governors of New Spain and Peru was in chaos. The number of intercepted merchant ships fled to the Old World has increased day by day. On the coast of Peru, a passenger can even sell 200 silver coins at a high price.

A big enough benefit makes the captain take risks. Staying here may not get anything or making a fortune in the war, but leaving now will definitely make a fortune. For many people, this multiple-choice question is not too difficult.

The reason for further aggravation of the turmoil is that although the upper class reached a consensus on the attitude of the crisis, it created greater differences in more detailed aspects.

The merchants who made up their minds to stay in the New World tried their best to lobby the governor to send negotiators to the north, looking for traces of the Ming army and trying to negotiate with them, eliminating the misunderstanding of the Battle of the Principal Bridge, and further gaining more trade.

However, the army and the church did not think so. The church was very tough and believed that there was no need to make any preparations beyond war and shed more glory for God that would retain the world.

The military is not tough, and they agree to try to get away with it. For example, there are not many Ming troops in the New World, and for example, the news will not reach the Ming Dynasty at all. As long as everyone does not expose this matter like those stupid businessmen, the Ming people will never know.

They were indeed preparing for the war and were very serious, but most people did not really intend to devote themselves to the war.

The most tacit situation is that whether the governor or the commander of the army, they made all preparations for possible wars, but no one ordered the front-line officers to attack the possible Ming army.

On the contrary, the orders received by the frontline officers were to try to avoid attacking the Ming army before the situation was clear. For example, if the Ming army came not for war, do not attack them.

Then the Ming army came.

After Christmas, the news entered Mexico City with the horses galloping horses of Andalusian war horses. The Ming army's fleet and countless indigenous people on land entered Marin, the top scholar bridge among the Ming people, and opened a siege to the two newly built troop stations next to the ruins of the earthen mound.

After half an hour of lobbying, ten infantry squads of the fifth company of the second column of the Bernard Legion, fourteen cavalry, and a priest accompanying the army burned the supplies in the station under the leadership of the Supreme Commander Sergeant, safely withdrew from the station, and retreated southward from Marin.

The third day followed, the Ming army passed by Santa Cruz and Carmel, thirty miles away from Marin. This time, the soldiers of the two companies withdrew from the garrison without fighting. Because there was no senior commander, not only did the soldiers of the two companies have all their weapons, armor and horses, but even the materials and port warships hoarded in the station were all taken over by the Ming army.

On the sixth day, on the eighth day... the Ming army did not stop moving south, and even the Aboriginal Hunting Corps that followed on land were supplemented by the Spaniards' surrender of the coastal corps, and the scale was closer to huge.

Zheng Tu, who met the Ming fleet in the north of the Zhuangyuan Bridge, joined the expedition to recover lost lands and relied on his prestige to continue attacking the Spanish military station, and his prestige quickly had a team of more than 200 people, becoming a relatively large group of coalition forces in various units.

There was almost no risk along the way. Fu Yuan and Shao Tingda went south to Pingping. The only accident that happened was a military station near the Spanish-language called the City of Peace.

At that time, Fu Yuan had already completed the mission of two thousand miles south requested by Chen Mu. He walked south for nearly three thousand five hundred miles. If it were not for the peninsula, he had actually entered the vicinity of Mexico City.

The troop station here is the same company. As a horse farm in New Spain, there are at least five small teams in a company here. Because it is very close to Mexico City, Fu Yuan was not too presumptuous, causing the angry missionary to rode his horse with a lit-up of the fuse, leading more than 20 cavalry back and fired at the Aboriginal soldiers on the land from afar.

The brief conflict ended with missionaries who ordered their subordinates to escape before the Ming army was disembarked. The tribal coalition lost seven good men before dragging a Spanish cavalry who was madly holding the attack on the crowd in front of him.

After that, Fu Yuan's fleet was anchored in the harbor, and Shao Tingda led the fleet to bypass the peninsula and sail north from the other side, leaving a fleet at the end of the bay, and nailing the boundary marker according to Chen Mu's order.

This is indeed two thousand miles away. If Fu Yuan is not counting as stationed in the peninsula, which is only a thousand miles away from Mexico City.

While the huge stone boundary monument with the words "Emperor Ming" was pierced into the ground, Te Guangming, as the messenger, finally stood in the Governor's Mansion in Mexico City and was summoned by Governor Armansa.

"You mean, the Ming army had 1,000 ships and 10,000 soldiers? Could it be that one ship could only carry ten people?"

The bright light shook his head for granted, decisively overturned his previous words, and said seriously: "That may be a hundred thousand? I don't know, their ships are as numerous as their people."
