Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 894 Surprise Attack on Granada
In the largest conference room in the front hall of the Emperor, a group of civil servants and military generals who have conquered South America gathered again.

With the assistance of Aluka, Carlinio and De Sierra had taken the governorship of La Plata. The entire South America, except for the governorship of Granada, was already under the control of Daming.

However, there was no excitement on the faces of the people.

Because of the latest news from Bahia, Spain sent more than ten warships to visit. Although De Sierra's men took advantage of the port city's fortress to defeat them, they did not encircle and wipe out all the ten warships. , people still ran a few ships.

In other words, Felipe IV will receive news soon, and Spain will send troops in all likelihood.

Carinho and De Sierra were already worried, and the others were also frowning slightly.

Taichang stared at the map on the table for a while, then sighed slightly: "This time I was careless, I should have left a small fleet in Bahia.

Felipe IV obviously noticed that something was wrong, and he sent more than ten warships to test it.

I forgot that most of the colonies in North Africa and West Africa have already come under Spanish rule, and the east coast of Africa is less than ten thousand miles away from the west coast of South America. It is too easy for them to come here.

The next time he sends people over, I'm afraid it won't be more than a dozen warships, but nearly a thousand warships! "

Hearing this, De Sierra couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, what should we do? If Spain sends nearly a thousand warships and 10 horses, we won't be able to defend Bahia at all!"

This problem is really a bit troublesome. If Da Ming doesn't make a move, Carinho and De Sierra, including the Amazon Tribal Alliance, probably won't be the opponents of Spain or the entire European Continental Union.

How to do it?

He doesn't have enough people under his command to guard such a long coastline of the entire Brazilian Viceroyalty!
Taichang stared at the map for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "If we can't hold it, we won't hold it, Desierra, you inform Bahia that if the Spanish army comes, they will hurry to the east of the Silla River." running in the jungle.

I will also send someone to notify the other dependent countries in the Governorate of Brazil to let them hide first.

We still follow the original plan and take down the governorship of Granada first! "

Bahia is his lifeblood!
It was with great difficulty that he gathered hundreds of thousands of civilians, and with a place to stand, it was probably all over by now.

De Sierra said anxiously: "Your Majesty, do we just give up on Bahia?
There are many farms over there, and the coffee and cocoa grown are very valuable.

If we let the Spaniards take over, I'm afraid these things will be out of stock. "

Bahia is indeed very important at this moment, because most of the coffee and cocoa purchased by the Great Ming Western Company are purchased from Bahia.

Although other dependent countries in Brazil's Viceroyalty are also trying to grow coffee and cocoa, because the civilians in these dependent countries are basically Indians of primitive tribes, the planting techniques are still learning from the Portuguese.

Moreover, except for Bahia, the other dependent countries are basically densely covered with jungles, and the places where coffee and cocoa are grown have yet to be developed. Therefore, at this moment, the coffee and cocoa produced by other dependent countries are very little.

Naturally, such an important place as Bahia cannot be lost.

Taichang explained in detail: "When we raided the governor's area of ​​Granada this time, we chose a few coastal port cities and surrounded them on land.

In this way, the Spanish colonists in the city will definitely escape by boat.

As soon as they run away, Felipe IV will inevitably receive news.

At that time, Felipe IV's attention is likely to be attracted there.

And we can also cooperate and report to the Spanish side, falsely claiming that hundreds of thousands of rebels are gathering south of the Grand Canal, as if they want to take down the Grand Canal and attack the Governor-General of New Spain.

Do you think Felipe IV will choose to save the Viceroyalty of New Spain or attack Bahia? "

Uh, this, who knows.

De Sierra could only helplessly say: "I hope Felipe IV will choose to save the Governorate of New Spain."

In this case, they can only take a gamble, because they simply don't have so many people to protect the entire coastline of the Governor-General of Brazil.

Taichang said very simply: "If Felipe IV still chooses to attack Bahia, then we will play a big game with him and directly take down the governorship of New Spain, and then gather the North American Indian tribal coalition forces and the Amazons. The army of the tribal alliance took back Bahia and let him lose the entire American colony."

If this is the case, it would be good. The North American Indian tribe and the Amazon tribal alliance will have no problem gathering millions of people.

Even if Spain and the entire Continental Union frantically transport troops here, they probably won't be able to defend Bahia.

De Xie La hastily cupped his hands and said: "The emperor is wise, I understand."

Taichang nodded slightly, looked at the map carefully, and then asked: "Carlinio, how many people do you have under your command?"

Carinho flinched and said, "Your Majesty, I have less than [-] troops under my command, and I have very few muskets and cannons."

This guy, do you want to ask me for a weapon, or are you afraid to use it?

If you want weapons, there is no problem. Anyway, the capital of Xiyin has been producing muzzle-loading artillery and matchlock guns.

These are intended to be equipped for 50 Black God Army recruits, so it is no problem to equip Carlinio's less than 3 horses.

Taichang thought about it carefully, and then said decisively: "Okay, I will equip you with more muskets and cannons, and you and De Sierra will pretend to be Spanish reinforcements and go to Caracas to try to see if you can get in.

If you can't get in, just bombard them with artillery, don't hesitate.

Remember, you just use artillery to bombard the south continuously without rushing.

Anyway, there is plenty of ammunition. If the defenders in the city don't escape, you can smash the top of the southern city wall flat before charging. "

Carinho and De Xieira hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "I understand."

At the moment, there are only three larger cities in the governorship of Granada, and Caracas is the largest port city in the governorship of Granada.

The other two cities, Bogota and Quito, are not near the coastline.

After Caracas was handed over to Carinho and De Sierra, there were basically not many Spanish defenders in the east of the governorship of Granada.

Taichang thought for a while, then pointed to the map and said: "Asipa, you lead 10 troops to land on the northern coastline in batches, and take down all the colonial strongholds in the east of the governor's area of ​​Granada.

Remember, don't run directly along the coastline after landing, you have to get into the jungle, and then rush out of the jungle to besiege these colonial strongholds.

In addition, you should also note that the colonial strongholds in the interior can be surrounded and taken directly.

As for the coastal areas, you can also bombard them with artillery from the south, and just frighten them into fleeing by boat. "

Hearing this, Asipa cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "The general will understand."

The east side of the Granada Governor's District is tantamount to releasing water, giving people a chance to escape by boat.

As for the west and south, it is roughly the same.

Taichang thought for a while, then pointed to the map and said: "Aluka, you lead 10 troops to attack Quito in the south, and take down both coastal ports and inland cities as soon as possible. If they escape by boat, you don't have to Go ahead."

Aluka hastily cupped his hands and said, "The general will understand."

That leaves Bogota and its environs.

This area is the core of the governorship of Granada, with the largest number of defenders, and Bogota is deep inland, six to seven hundred miles away from the nearest coastline, which is very troublesome.

Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then asked: "A Suzu, why don't you lead the army to the battlefield to experience it yourself?"

Uh, this.

A Suzu was not afraid of anything, mainly because he had no experience in leading troops in combat.

He thought for a while and then said cautiously: "Teacher, although this disciple has read some military books, he has never actually been on the battlefield. Leading troops in battle, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

It's not that he doesn't want to lead the army in battle, he's afraid that his inexperience will make his soldiers pay unnecessary sacrifices.

This one is very simple.

Taichang said directly: "Sigong, you lead your bodyguards to pretend to be soldiers of the Amazon tribe and follow Asuzu to teach him how to lead troops in battle."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong quickly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang then said to his precious apprentice: "A Suzu, you should lead an army of [-] to attack Bogota, learn from Si Gong and exercise hard."

Hearing this, Asuzu quickly cupped his hands and said, "Disciple understands."

Early the next morning, the huge fleet set off from the military port east of Xinma City.

Taichang was still a little worried, so he took the Emperor and sat in the middle of the fleet himself.

Originally, the ships they had prepared were for transporting 30 troops. This time, nearly 8 men under Carlinio and De Sierra also participated in the battle, and the ships seemed a bit insufficient.

But it doesn't matter too much. Anyway, there are a lot of Spike warships here, and the east of Granada Governor's District is just north of Xinma City. They only need to sail for about [-] miles before they can start releasing people. .

Taichang simply transferred another 10 Spike warships, and asked Asipa to take [-] horses to squeeze on the [-] Spike warships and pass.

This time they were not walking along the edge of the shoreline.

In order to avoid being exposed, Taichang specially ordered the fleet to move forward fifteen or six miles away from the coastline.

In this way, they can still scan the situation near the coastline through large telescopes, and even if the colonists in the governorship of Granada see them, they only see a black spot.

The fleet headed north all the way, and arrived near the first large colonial stronghold on the east side of the governorship of Granada around [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

Taichang recruited Asipa directly, and confessed: "You should explain to the leading generals under your command that those who disembark today and those who disembark tomorrow should not take the lead in launching an attack. Let them find a place in the jungle to rest and rest the day after tomorrow. Attack again at noon."

No way, Xinma City is two or three thousand miles away from Caracas. It is definitely impossible for them to put all the [-] Amazon Tribal Alliance soldiers in a day or two.

The fleet went all the way from north to west in this way, dropping the soldiers of the Amazon Tribal Alliance down day and night. At noon on the third day, they finally arrived near Caracas.

At this time, Asipa's [-] soldiers of the Amazon Tribal Alliance had already been released, and Carlinio and De Xieira's men had already boarded the Spike, and the deployment was very fast.

Taichang called the two of them to him again, and explained in detail: "After you go ashore, head south of Caracas. After an hour, send people into the city to try to see if you can get in. If not, just go straight to the city. Attack."

Carinho and De Sierra hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "I understand."

The governorship of Granada in Spain was attacked inexplicably. From the east to the west, it was developed everywhere. I don’t know how many enemies suddenly rushed out, and they just attacked them fiercely.

This will make the total number of defenders in the governorship of Granada less than 40, and the number of "rebels" will be almost [-]. Naturally, they cannot bear it.

Soon, the east side of the governorship of Granada fell one after another. Except for the thousands of colonists in the coastal ports who escaped by boat, everyone else seemed to be overwhelmed by dense "rebels".
