Volume 3: Confrontation! The Run of Civilization Chapter 566: A New Situation in America
"Brothers and sisters, just now Chief Tiya read out many clauses such as camp rules, team rules and combat discipline. These things do restrict everyone's freedom to a great extent. But think about it carefully, if we could have these things six months in advance, how could we have lost the Pampas and Patagonia? How could we be attacked by Spanish bandits one after another after retreating to the Andes Mountains? Since everyone has persisted until this time, it means that you are all true heroes, and true heroes are not afraid of constraints. Because we are not afraid of being beheaded, so how can we be afraid of discipline?"
Just twenty days after the battle on the sea of Santiago broke out, in the rebel camp in the Andes Mountains, Tia, under the guidance of Zhang Hong and others, improved many terms such as camp management and officially began to reorganize the army.
The remaining 3,000 people of the rebel army were mainly divided into three groups: the first group was the old soldiers who followed Tia and Liuco all the way in Ecuador and Peru. The second group was the miners near Santiago . The third group was the Laucans in the Pampas and Patagonia. In addition, there were some very small groups, all of whom were recruited by the rebel army along the way.
It is normal for a group to have various factions. Generally speaking, when a group is in a period of development and growth, the conflicts between factions are secondary - development can cover up or even ease conflicts. However, when a group is in trouble, various conflicts will be exposed and further intensified. Now, there are various conflicts between the three major factions within the rebel army, between the big and small factions, and even between the pure Indians and the Spanish-Indian hybrids.
Therefore, this military reorganization is not only a military need, but also a political need of this group.
Of course, to establish a unified military discipline among so many factions, it is necessary to call all the leaders of these factions to brainwash them together, uh, no, to unify their thoughts. That's why there was such an important meeting.
The host of the meeting was Zhu Shengmiao. As Tia 's boyfriend, this gentleman was already fluent in at least three Indian languages, and could barely cope with daily conversations in Spanish. In addition, he was a businessman after all, and had experience in dealing with various temporary emergencies, so he was a natural host.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that's all about military discipline and camp rules. Next, please welcome the commander of the Ming Marine Corps, Major General Zhang Hong, to give a speech."
There was no meeting room, everyone just sat in a circle on the ground, and Indians didn't applaud. So after Zhu Shengmiao finished his introduction, Zhang Hong could only walk to the center of the circle with a little embarrassment.
"Everyone, the name of our team is the Indian Independence Army. So, what is our goal? Of course, through our struggle, we want to destroy the Spanish rule here and establish our own country as Indians. So, how can we achieve this goal?
We must admit that the Spanish are very powerful. They have advanced technology, advanced weapons, well-trained regular troops, and their commanders are experienced after years of large-scale wars. They have established effective rule in the Americas for nearly a hundred years and are deeply rooted in every place. Facing such a powerful opponent, we cannot expect to have the ability to confront them head-on in a short period of time.
Therefore, if we want to achieve the goal of independence and nation-building, the only thing we can do at the current stage is guerrilla warfare! And it must be a guerrilla warfare that blossoms in multiple places! We must let the Spanish rule in various parts of the Americas spark resistance, and let their rule in various parts of the Americas be hit. These resistances and attacks, from a single point of view, may be insignificant. However, when many sparks gather together, it is a huge flame that burns the bloody rule of Spain in this land!
Therefore, in the next struggle, I sincerely suggest that Chief Tiya and all the backbones further split this limited team. I personally think that at least on the premise of retaining the main force, we should split it into three or even more teams. In the future, the old camp on the Andes Mountains will be the headquarters of the rebels and the school for the training of backbones. After a group of backbones are trained and mature, they will be sent down the mountain to recruit teams in the so-called viceroyal districts of Spain, attack the Spanish estates and mining areas outside the central cities, and attack their transportation lines...
Ladies and gentlemen, I emphasize again that our enemy is very powerful at this moment. With the current strength of us Indians, we cannot fight head-on and win a complete victory alone. Our method is to launch a large-scale guerrilla war throughout the Americas. Through guerrilla warfare, we will let millions of Indians in the Americas know about our existence, so that even if do not join us, they can still maintain goodwill towards us. Let the Spanish feel that the cost of maintaining rule in the American continent is too high and the gains are not worth the losses. In the end, they will have to change their ways and change their cruel rule in the American continent today, so that the situation of the Indians will improve.
After that, as the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire and other countries directly attack Spain, Spain's national strength will decline dramatically. At that time, our independence cause will be completely successful! "
Looking at Zhang Hong who was talking in the middle of the circle, Diya felt annoyed: How could the gap be so big? Well, it was said that although General Zhang had never been to the Royal Military Academy, he had studied for eight years in Fangshan School, which was known for producing elites. He was much better than herself who had only studied in the Royal Military Academy for three years.
Alas, when I was in Ming Dynasty, I really shouldn't have wasted too much time on courses on personal bravery such as fighting and shooting. I should have taken more elective courses such as sociology and psychology.
She was lost in thought, and Zhang Hong in the circle had finished speaking. Then, Zhu Shengmiao asked Zhang Xianzhong to come on stage.
"My dear men and women, my name is Zhang Xianzhong. I have been here for only half a month, and you have already given me an Yindian name, which means "Fragrant Mouth". Well, I like this name very much, and from now on I will be "Fragrant Mouth".
Ahem, according to General Zhang's proposal just now, our army should divide some small units to fight guerrilla warfare in the Spanish occupied areas. I, Zhang, uh, I am a good person, and I took the initiative to ask General Zhang to stay and fight the Spaniards with you. After all, we are all yellow people, right? These Spaniards are really shit, I just can't stand them, and I want to fight with you!
I am better at riding horses. I have been in this camp for so long, you have all seen my riding skills. In fact, you may give me a name like "The Wind in the Wind", which may be more suitable for me. Hahaha, off topic. Anyway, I want to find two or three hundred brave men who are confident in riding skills, follow me, and go back to the Pampas. We will go there to attack the Spanish transport team, plunder their estates, and plunder their cattle and sheep on the pasture. If possible, we will also find a way to sneak into Buenos Aires and make a big profit! Brothers, what do you think? Do you have confidence in your riding skills? Do you dare to follow me to overthrow the Spanish rule in the Pampas?
Follow me, no questions asked. I will never let you eat a single porridge if I have the sweetness of my mouth. But if you follow me, you must obey my orders and study Chinese diligently..."
"Brothers and sisters, my name is Li Zicheng. Thank you for your respect and the name I was given. I will lead my troops to Mexico to fight against the Spanish rule there..."
"My name is Gao Yingxiang, and my new name is Night Traveler. I will lead a team to the Viceroyalty of New Granada in Spain, relying on the Amazon rainforest to launch a guerrilla war there... My request is the same as the previous two. In view of the fact that the Yindian tribe has too many and too complicated languages, everyone should work hard to learn Chinese in the future..."
It must be said that Zhu Youdong, a narrow-minded nationalist, did not care much about non-compatriots: although he shouted that the natives of America were descendants of the Shang Dynasty and were Yindians, he actually did not care much about the studies of Tiya and Liu Ke. As a result, these two guys learned to become good soldiers.
But Gao Yingxiang's group was different. On the one hand, they did have a talent for rebellion, and on the other hand, Zhu Youdong personally made a learning plan for them: how to conduct guerrilla warfare.
Under this major topic, specific tactics are only one aspect. More importantly, in order to conduct guerrilla warfare well, a lot of time was spent training them in military discipline, information gathering, counterintelligence, and rallying the hearts of the people in the team.
Therefore, when these guys came to America, they had no sense of awkwardness and quickly integrated into the society. They also successfully won the favor of many young people in India.
After the meeting, many young people pestered these three guys to sign up and asked to follow them to fight guerrilla warfare in Mexico, New Granada and the Pampas.
…
"Don't think too much. My emperor will definitely not let you do it alone. But in the end, if you can succeed, the emperor will definitely give you Indians an independent country."
"I know." Gently holding the man's hand, Tia said, "I really haven't learned well, and I don't know how to be a leader. Well, now I will stay in the Andes camp and see what kind of trouble these three can make."
"Well, control the old camp, make all the rebel troops fly your banner, and make all the branches send the young people who have just joined the team to you to learn military skills. That will be enough."
"…Is that all for this time? When will you come next time?"
"...I won't leave. I'll stay here with you, okay?"
"real?"
"real!"
"Very good !"
Just as the woman was excitedly riding on the man's waist, a team of about three hundred people arrived at the camp.
"General Zhang, twenty days ago, we fought a battle with the Spanish fleet in the sea near Santiago... Thanks to the cannon of the Songjiang and the rampage of two armored transport ships, we barely repelled the Spanish, but we also suffered heavy losses. Commander Du said that after this battle, everyone knows the approximate location of the rebels. So, in addition to the rebels changing camps, you must also quickly lead your men back to the ship...
We allocated some of the sailors from the sunken warships to deliver the supplies to the rebels as much as possible, and did not care about the rest. At the same time, we also sent Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyi, Luo Rucai and their fellow villagers..."
"Okay! Then those of us who need to withdraw should withdraw quickly. Hey, Gao Yingxiang, you guys should work hard. I hope that in a few years, the American rebel army will be able to open up a completely new situation!"
