Chapter 1000 Raising troops
The generals of the Dongyang Military Mansion had a very clear division of labor in instigating the Lautaro Uprising, and even the marching route map was almost finished after a meal of wine.

The next day these Asian tycoons met again, and the plan was much more sober when they lost their energy for drinking. They still transported Lautaro's soldiers from Chile to Panama and then into Colombia in accordance with Shao Tingda's previously deliberate method.

Chen Mu slapped his head and said that it was unreliable to enter Colombia from the Portuguese territory by land.

Lautaro, who came to participate in the Longevity Festival, was also summoned to the Yamen of the Oriental Military Mansion, and with him was You Shuai Lin Manjue.

Only then did Shao Tingda, who was sitting on a chair in the side hall of the yamen, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: It was a real move.

Before he came, he was afraid that Chen Mu would not want to intervene in this matter, but now as long as Chen Mu is willing to participate, then this matter is basically done.

After all, the five warlords in Asia have a consensus-the Spanish viceroyalty of Peru is too big, and their Panama is too small.

It's always unsettling.

Lin Manjue came with official documents. Two of his sub-hundred households went to Chile for military training and brought back the training report of Lautaro's tribe; Deng Zilong also recruited officers with experience in the southern border to inform the generals The Western Army controls the situation.

"The town of Bogotá used to be a village of the Musica people. After being occupied by the Westerners, it was opened up around the center. Now the bottom of the valley outside the city of Bogota is planted with cotton, sugar cane, potatoes, and corn. Weaving cotton armor, squeezing sugar, weaving grass leaves, and mining, there are several gold mines there."

"Gold mine."

Deng Zilong said: "Where there are gold mines, there are garrisons. There are many tribes living near Bogota. There are 10 people in the two states, and the number of Westerners is less than eleven."

He said, looking at Chen Mu and Shao Tingda, and said: "Deng led his troops into Youjing. The Western Army in Bogota once led the two countries' native troops to confront me along Lubei Mountain, but they didn't fight. They eventually retreated."

Deng Zilong got to the point. There are so many indigenous people in Colombia, and the Spaniards are so few compared with them. Why can they still gain a firm foothold?
For their chiefs stood with the Spaniards.

Chen Mu looked at Lautaro, and asked Shao Tingda in a low voice after learning that he could understand speech: "How many soldiers are willing to follow you into Colombia?"

Lautaro looked extremely proud. Beneath this pride was his unparalleled courage: "And report to the commander, there are 270 three warriors from the Mapuche department who are willing to fight with me for the people!"

Bai Yuanjie who was sitting next to him raised his hand and wiped his face. He sighed, squeezed his eyes, and wanted to leave this side hall in the yamen... A room full of dignitaries gathered together. He originally thought that the uprising proposed by Shao Tingda would have How big is it, and the result is only 270 three people?
Shao Tingda was also a little embarrassed, and added for Lautaro: "There are more than 400 orphans in Chile who are trained."

Chen Mu didn't expect to get such an answer. He had expected it in his heart earlier. He knew that there would not be many people in Lautaro, and it would be good to have 500 people.

But he didn't expect that there would be so few, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say about preparing four thousand muskets for Lautaro, so he said: "I'm afraid this will be too difficult for the Mapuche department. You just got a new Life, don't let the young and strong of the tribe take such risks, go back... go back and live a good life."

"No, Commander!" He was anxious not to let Lautaro fight, and said, "General Lin said we can win!"

One sentence made the eyes of several people in the hall focus on the face of Lin Manjue, who sat at the end, but he arched his hands indifferently and looked around, and then he said: "Chen Shuai, all warlords, this statement is indeed what Lin said. , as long as there is enough blunderbuss and gunpowder, Lautaro can win."

"How to win?"

The question was asked by Chen Mu, but this was not his idea. In fact, he probably could think of his tactics from the combat methods Lin Manjue was good at.

But this question must be asked, because it is the voice of all the other warlords.

Even including the boy scouts that Lautaro was still training in Chile, their strength is less than [-], and the city of Bogota they will face in the future is a fortified city with a history of more than [-] years. a task that can not be done.

"They are trained to learn to use all the weapons and tactics that may be used. Lin believes that his troops are capable of attacking, assassinating, encroaching and other missions, but the victory or defeat of the war does not depend on the Mapuche troops. handsome."

"at me?"

Chen Mu smiled softly. He knew what Lin Manjue was talking about. He raised his palm and spread his fingers, and said, "Daming is restricted by the treaty with the Westerners and cannot send troops to attack Spain, so this army is needed to liberate us. The people suffering under the rule of the Westerners are beneficial to the war, and Panama can provide support with guns and gunpowder."

"The rescued people, who are willing to fight with you and the Spaniards, can be sent to Panama for training; women and children who are unable to fight can also find a job in Panama to support their families. If the war fails, they can also retreat to Panama to rest... In addition Besides, what else do you need?"

Lautaro shook his head and said: "Master, this is enough. I will go to fight the Spaniards in a few months. If... If Bogota can be taken down in a few years, it can become a Is it a court county?"

Chen Mu admired this tribal leader who used the name of his own national hero as his own name. He had integrity, courage and courage, and he was very polite.

He laughed and said, "If it wasn't for the contract, it would already be a county in the imperial court."

"You go ahead and fight, and in the process of driving Xiyi away from there, merchants from Guochao will come to you. Maybe at the right time, General Deng will also attack... But this is very difficult, it depends on the timing in the future .”

In fact, Lautaro's opinion is not important, his tribe is not there, and the right to belong to Colombia is really in the hands of Daming, and it still needs to rely on merchants and envoys to negotiate with the tribal leaders who have lived there for generations.

But this matter is not difficult. If the leader disagrees, just change to another one.

At least this is much easier than Lautaro going to attack Bogotá.

However, Chen Mu did not expect that Lautaro had another request, which was different from what the warlords had imagined earlier.

He wanted Chang Sheng to help him make some sturdy and durable rucksacks, the kind used to allow Spaniards to carry rice on the border.

This little wish is naturally and easily fulfilled
Lautaro did not want the Franco cannon prepared by Panama. He believed that the artillery would slow down his troops, and slowness in dangerous operations would mean death. Besides, although he was optimistic about the upcoming battle situation, he did not want it. Not blindly.

He himself said that after driving away the Spaniards a few years later, he had no intention of attacking Bogotá immediately.

Before that, his heavy firepower will be drop-and-drop tree cannons, so they need to have gunpowder pouches.

　Good morning!
