Chapter 190 Hill District (6)

"Baron El Salvador Angel Bravo?" Long Xu, wearing a straight military uniform, narrowed his eyes and looked at the Spanish middle-aged man in front of him, who looked like a big rooster, and asked slowly.

There was no respect! There was no fear of the Spanish Kingdom! Baron Bravo felt his anger rising, but he restrained it well. He still had a lot to know. He didn't want to say nothing about these annoying East Coast people now.

"Tartars, tell me, what do you want to do? Do you want to sprinkle these yellow-skinned pagans like ants all over the entire East Coast prairie?" Baron Bravo looked at Long Xu with the unique arrogant expression of a rooster and said arrogantly.

"Spanish, you'd better pay attention to your politeness. You have to learn to be cautious in this place full of pagans, which will be good for you." The young Long Xu shook the saber in his hand, and then said with a smile: "It's not your turn to do what we do. This is the legal territory of the East Coast Republic of China."

"But you have been persecuting the Catholics!" Baron Bravo did not avoid Long Xu's dangerous eyes at all, but lifted his chin higher, and continued: "Tartars, this is inhumane and not allowed by the civilized world of Christ. If you do not change your dirty behavior, the Kingdom of Spain will respond to your stupid behavior. And I will guarantee that you will be impressed by it."

"Do you have a broken head? Spanish, I really doubt how the Governor of Peru sent you a fool like you to me to talk to me. Although you look over thirty years old, I am bluntly bluntly, your mental age is still very naive. Even some young men in my army who have just been promoted to be elected officers will be much more stable than you, you are far from you, Lord Baron." Long Xu suddenly pulled his face down and said in a cold voice: "So you are here to provoke, are you here to anger us, are you here? Then you succeed, Baron Bravo, because our cavalry unit is about to wipe out a village of Chalua. It is in the hilly area to the west. You'd better pray that Father Barbosa of the Jesuit is not there, otherwise he will die very ugly."

Hearing Long Xu's words, Baron Bravo suddenly became angry as if he had been greatly insulted, and he whispered loudly: "Father Barbosa is a respectable elder. He is knowledgeable and elegant. His piety to God is amazing. He..."

"Enough. Mr. Baron." Long Xu interrupted Baron Bravo impatiently, and then said: "Father Barbosa secretly bewitched the savages of Chalua to kill one of our peaceful inhabitants. They must pay the price! Including this unreputable priest! Look, our troops have set out, and they will use the sharp sabers in their hands to easily cut open the heads of those savages like beef, so that they can know what kind of enemies cannot be provoked."

Baron Bravo calmed down at this time. He looked at Long Xu with a gloomy and angry look, and then said, "I shouldn't waste my time in front of you. I am now the envoy of the Governor of Peru in the Kingdom of Spain. I need to go to the capital of your country to convey important letters and diplomatic messages. I hope you will cooperate."

Long Xu was suffocated when he heard this, and then shouted behind him with a stinking face: "Liu Zhigang, bring a platoon of cavalry to escort the envoy and his entourage to Dongfang Port, and come back immediately after the mission is completed. We will continue to clear out the next Chaluya village." After that, he took another provocative look at Baron Bravo.

Baron Bravo had no expression on his face and did not answer any more. After a while, the cavalry led by Sergeant Liu Zhigang finished the equipment and escorted Baron Bravo and his entourages south along the flat grassland. They would first arrive at Xiayihe Fort in the south, cross the river south, and then head south to Meilin Port, and then follow the railway to the south through Zhenyuan Township and the ranch township to Dongfang Port. Along the way, they walked in the "hings" controlled by the East Coast people for a long time, so there was no need to worry too much about safety. What Liu Zhigang and others needed to pay attention to along the way was to try to stay away from the Yihe River Basin where steamboats were walking, and not let these Spanish men pay attention to this new ship of the East Coast people.

Although there are currently some "experiences" about the East Coast Republic in the neighboring areas of La Plata and Brazil, among which there are some news about "black smoke" and "automatic sailing" ships that can "space without sailing". Ordinary people may regard them as magical witchcraft or simply as jokes, but some knowledgeable aristocrats and merchants do not think so. They believe that the East Coast people must have mastered some amazing method, and this method must have subversive innovations in ship navigation.

Therefore, they began to secretly collect information about this ship through various means. At present, they have also mastered some information. For example, they know that this ship is to burn coal, and they also know that this ship will produce some water vapor. They also know that this ship is driven by some "padwheels" or "propellers". Unfortunately, they cannot access the crew of the steamship, especially the steam engine repairmen, otherwise they will definitely get more useful information. But this is only a matter of time. As long as any practical technology shows its unparalleled charm in front of people, it will spread sooner or later. Steam engines are not like textiles or dyes, and can be built in a heavily guarded place. This thing has to run everywhere, which increases the difficulty of supervision.

If the time travelers know that the consequence of their vigorous promotion of steam engines is the spread of technology, and I wonder if they will still stick to their original practices. Although the promotion of steam engines has provided a huge boost to the country's industrial and agricultural development, it is really difficult to keep any technology confidential, especially when many people are staring here.

The only thing they need to be grateful for now is that the society on the East Coast is not an open society, but a high-pressure police society with relatively strict control and military, police and constitutional constitutions. The spy system and strict household registration system make it difficult for many strange faces who have penetrated from Brazil or La Plata to openly walk in the mainland, which creates a lot of difficulty for them to steal intelligence. They can only enter the East Coast society through immigration, steal intelligence over a long period of time, and then find ways to pass it on. Its efficiency is extremely low and the success rate will not be very high. Moreover, a few years ago, the East Coast had stopped obtaining immigration from powerful countries such as Britain, France, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain. At present, the main source of European immigration is female slaves from the Ottoman Empire and a small number of Livonians, which once again created a considerable obstacle for those major Western European powers to steal intelligence.

However, the above are not insurable after all. People will always find loopholes to steal information for a long time, especially steam engines that are difficult to regulate. Therefore, what people in the East Coast need to do is to strengthen supervision and review, and try to postpone the leakage of steam engine technology, so as to gain more time for their own development.

After the annoying Spanish man was sent away, Long Xu, who had just been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Yihe Regional Suppression, immediately walked out of the castle construction site under construction. After leaving half a company (120 people) of soldiers to guard the place, he took the other half company to take several newly assembled freight track carriages to the south. The cavalry troops had just advanced to the low-mountain and hilly area to the west to wipe out the two Chalua villages that were detected by the people on the east coast. It was difficult to guarantee that the Gaoqiao bandits who were moving nearby would not have any other thoughts, such as surrounding Wei and saving Zhao. He took the troops of this half company to patrol along the railway line, which could somewhat deter the enemy, and also give local immigrants and South African labor workers who were building roads to some extent.

We must hurry up the matter of extermination of the Chalua people. Recently, we must increase the intensity of investigation and carry out forced migration immediately once it is verified. If we encounter resistance, we will wipe it out on the spot to ensure that there is no future trouble. If these Chalua villages that have been rooted in the local area will be destroyed, then the Gaochoma bandits who have been rampant nearby for a long time will become rootless water and will definitely not be able to persevere. Now this Spanish who is as proud as a big rooster has come to the door. The Executive Committee will adjust its policies for various considerations and suspend some radical cleaning actions of the Chalua people and Guarani people. At that time, it will be troublesome to try to kill them.

Therefore, if you want to raise the butcher's knife, it should be better to clean up all the indigenous people in the Xiling area to create a good living environment for the future arrival of Shandong immigrants. Fortunately, there are not many Chalua people living on the Uruguay prairie, about 8,000 people. Over the years, they have been killed and exiled by the East Coast people, and there have been more than 3,000 people left. There are not many left. As long as you work harder, this vast and rich plain will be the East Coast people themselves in the future.

Nearly 300 cavalrymen's collective action was indeed as fast as lightning. In just one afternoon, they used sabres and muskets to put the two Chalua villages, which were raided by raids and muskets, into a catastrophe. A total of 180 bloody heads piled up in the open space outside the canyon fort, which scared a group of Shandong immigrants and was also a little jealous. One head was 20 yuan, which was a total of 3,600 yuan!

In addition to these adult Chalua men who killed, they also captured more than 20 Chalua women and children, but only more than 20 casualties were only slightly injured, which was a complete victory. After this battle, they did not take any rest, but continued to patrol and reconnaissance nearby, constantly expelling, and eliminating the local Chalua natives. With their efforts, the railway line continued to extend smoothly forward.
