Chapter 1217 Loss
The gift presented to the emperor by the Colombian rebels shocked Chen Mu, but it did not affect the leisure and elegance of the Peruvian governor Toledo in the slightest.

Of course Chen Mu would be shocked, and felt like he was riding a tiger.

Lautaro was seriously injured in the bloody battle in Cali, and Gordo's army broke into the border tax card and killed 37 Ming soldiers. The gathering of these two incidents made the people under the rule of the Eastern Army angry, which means that people's hearts are available.

[-] Eastern Banner Army, [-] Lin Manjue Guerrilla Army, and [-] Eastern Ministerial Households settled in Medellin, entered Peru and marched into Lima City. The soldiers were more inclined to the latter.

Needless to say, since the news of the change in Zhumapo spread to the north, North Asian rebels have flocked to join the Colombian rebels. Thousands of people joined the rebels in Colombia, and many more people chose to support the regular army and spontaneously transported luggage in the rear. , Tan Shihu pulp to labor flag army.

At this juncture, on the New Year’s Eve of the tenth year of Wanli, the South Asian rebels launched a super artillery battle in Colombia. Rebels from all walks of life dumped the prepared gunpowder into mines and towns, and the outposts, towns and mines built by the Spaniards were destroyed overnight. Hundreds of places were blown up, and the statistical work was not completed until the eighth day of the lunar new year.

Chen Mu's heart shuddered just by hearing the explosions that have been counted so far.

"One of the Xipi Gold Mine used to have 540 miners. Commander, please look at it. At the location of the map, it will take at least [-] workers to repair it. It won't be able to restore the previous output within half a year."

"The loss of the iron ore in Haldin is small. I heard that the amount of explosives buried in the dark is small. It is fine to blow up the mine mouth and the inside; and this place is called Kondoto by Xiyi. There is a silver mine here. The mine, the repair work has not been counted, but the damage is quite large, and this, this is the coal field, and it is still burning!"

The silly command made Lin Hu'er unable to see Chen Mu's iron face, nor could he receive Lin Manjue's constant winks. She drew on the map with a charcoal pencil and said cheerfully: "Xiyi has lost a lot this time. Already!"

Lin Huer heard Marshal Dongyang's sigh of approval.

Chen Mu looked at the densely drawn map of Colombia by Lin Huer, and even lost the desire to speak.

How rich is Colombia!
The Spaniards have been cultivating here for decades, saving Ming the trouble of exploring land and building places. If there hadn’t been this artillery battle dedicated to the emperor by the South Asian rebels, it would have been a blessing from the tenth generation of Ming Dynasty.

Gold, silver, lead, copper, iron, coal, emeralds, almost everything.

Now it's all gone, as long as the mines appear on this map, they are all destroyed.

Is this a gift from the subjects to the emperor?This whole thing is a gift from the enemy to the emperor.

Spaniards are not so cruel.

Lin Manjue still stood up at this moment, and seemed to want to remind Lin Huer that Chen Mu was not in a good mood. He whispered: "Commander, the prisoners of the Western Army who were captured by the rebels said that the order given to them by the Governor of Peru It is to transport the last batch of ore to the city of Cali and withdraw it from the mine.”

Chen Mu closed his eyes and nodded one after another: "If His Majesty saw this gift, he would probably be so happy to curse, let's not talk about the mine now, shall we?"

He knew the reason why the South Asian rebels did this right after he knew this happened... The Spaniards' rule over the South Asian people was built on the villages derived from the mines adjacent to the mines , They wanted to go back to the ancient times before the arrival of the Spaniards, but they couldn't find a way to return to the peaceful life of the Inca period.

So I want to destroy the symbol of the Spaniards-these mines.

So even though it meant a huge loss, Chen Mu felt uncomfortable, but he accepted it.

But this is just his wishful thinking. The mine is not just a symbol of the Spaniards for the South Asian rebels.

"I have some information about Peru. The commander will be interested in these matters. It seems that the governor of Peru, Toledo, does not intend to fight. The latest news is that the fleet from Changsheng and Youjing has blocked the port of Lima. The nobles of the Western Kingdom We are registering cabins in batches."

Already registered for evacuation?
Chen Mu hadn't recovered from the heartache caused by the huge loss, and immediately frowned and narrowed his eyes when he heard Lin Manjue's words: "What is Toledo thinking, why didn't he send me a letter?"

Except for the musket firing at the very beginning, which seemed to be an accident, what happened next in Peru was full of inconsistencies... From the beginning to the end, Toledo did not apologize to the Japanese military government for the accident of the Zhumapo change. There was also no response after he sent options to Peru.

So far, the nobles in Lima City have begun to register their cabins and prepare to evacuate, but Toledo still hasn't replied to him, what is this?
Even if you are giving orders to your subordinates, you should obey them.

What's more, Chen Mu is not arrogant enough to think that he can order the governor of Peru to abandon Peru and go home. He is just using power to suppress people, and the governor of Peru should also fight hard.

The conflict was unexpected, and the Dongyang military government, including Chen Mu, was not that strong in attacking Peru. Even when Chen Mu led the army and joined forces with Deng Zilong, they were still discussing the occupation of Peru.

Peru is a piece of shit. It has large silver mines, large copper mines, large gold mines, and lead mines, but it can provide a huge amount of precious metals to the Japanese army in the hands of the Spaniards, and it doesn't take too much effort.

And if it is in the hands of the Eastern Army, it may cost Daming a little more than getting precious metals from the Spaniards.

For the Spaniards, Colombia is definitely gone after this accident, but if Peru wants to keep it, they can keep it. As long as they offer some compensation and more concessions, Chen Mu, who is already in between, can easily change his mind.

For example, if Toledo proposes that Peru should compensate each fallen flag soldier with silver, 1 taels is not too little, and 2 taels is not too much. There is a lot of room for maneuvering, even if the last person is only 3000 taels Well, sending back the silver to the family of the fallen flag army in the country can always comfort the hearts of the family members a little.

There are obviously thousands of choices, but Toledo chose to remain silent.

"I can't figure it out, but the spies sent to Lima City reported that many rumors are related to the Governor of Peru. It is said that since last year, the Indian Affairs Committee has sent many monks and nobles into Peru. They..."

Before Lin Manjue finished speaking, he saw Chen Mu raised his hand, and quickly explained: "The people who are walking are from Daxigang to Changsheng. These people have paid taxes."

"Hmm..." Chen Mu nodded: "Go on."

"They were ordered to collect evidence of silver embezzlement by the Governor of Peru. It seems that the King of Spain intends to remove Toledo. Another reason is the population of Peru. The West Country established five Governors in Peru, and the population of the people decreased from 900 million to 160 million. For this accident, Toledo has been removed from office."

"Now some people say that he prepared five boats for himself to salute, and the overturned wooden boxes at the port revealed gold and silver treasures."

Just as Lin Manjue finished speaking, there was a report from the soldiers outside the camp. After getting permission, the soldiers holding the letter entered to salute, and whispered to Chen Mu: "Commander, Changsheng Zou Zhixian's private letter."
