Chapter 1081 Destroy You On behalf of the Gods

After Zhu Hao landed on the coast of Peru, he had a clear goal, which was to rely on the camp in San Juan Bay to attack Cusco, the capital of the Indo-Canadian Empire.

But after landing, he found that the situation was far smoother than he had imagined.

Because the Inca Empire was expanding rapidly at this time, it hit the north near Quito, the capital of the later Ecuador, and the south reached the Maure River in Chile. Due to the rapid annexation, indigestion, and internal conflicts.

Because the coastal area is not so rich in products, the nearby tribes have not been valued by the central government of the empire, but they pay heavy taxes, which leads to frequent rebellions.

The largest indigenous tribe in the vicinity has been at loggerheads with the empire's central government. Its lord's name seems to be something like "Lulu", and he is leading the tribe's armed forces to fight against the regular army of the empire.

Not all areas along the coast are Lulu's territory. The imperial army has raided it several times, but without success.

Most of the defenders that Zhu Hao defeated before were troops sent by the empire to garrison them. Now that even the regular army of the empire has collapsed, the oppressed people in the area naturally choose to join the stronger side "with the blessing of the gods" because they feel He realized that as long as he united with the Ming army, he could fight against the seemingly incomparably powerful king of the Inca Empire.

"They said that they can organize [-] people, bring food and weapons, and fight with us!"

When the coastal tribes heard that the Ming army was going to attack Cusco, each of the indigenous people instantly changed from defeated captives to careerists, clamoring to follow the Ming soldiers to create a new world.

Zhu Hao didn't expect that when he arrived in the Inca Empire, he would encounter serious problems within the Inca Empire, and the rule was on the verge of collapse.

However, all of this is in line with historical development. It was the unrestrained expansion of the Inca Empire that led to frequent internal turmoil. When faced with the Spanish invasion, they were helpless, and the huge empire collapsed.

The army that Zhu Hao brought this time has much more advanced weapons than the Spaniards. In addition, there are enough Aztecs under his command to enjoy the treatment of good people. With word of mouth, he quickly won the favor of the coastal natives. tribal support.

"Tell them we need iron ore, show them samples so they can find deposits... We also need to find copper and coal mines as soon as possible, they have to send people to help mine, we will provide shelter, but they must also supply enough manpower!"

Zhu Hao could have defeated Cusco first, and then considered development issues.

But now he feels that these two things can be done at the same time.

Cuzco does not need to rush forward to attack. If all goes well, the king of the Inca Empire in Cuzco will soon know that the Ming army is coming, and they should have already obtained from the people of the new territories in the north. Knowing how powerful the European colonists are, they either choose to come to fight, or send someone to make peace. You can first look at the attitude of the king of the Inca Empire.

As for fearing that their entire army would attack and fight the Ming army to the end, Zhu Hao felt that it was completely unnecessary, because the number of troops in the Inca Empire would not exceed [-]. In this ancient empire, not everyone was qualified to serve as a soldier. They are strictly hierarchical, and only the children of the upper class are eligible to take up arms. Of course, it does not mean that the lower class do not have to go to the battlefield to die.

During the war, the people at the lower level play the role of rushing to the front to die. They don't even have a weapon. At most, they hold stones in their hands and throw them from a distance. Zhu Hao didn't know about the "rebel" slaves kidnapped by the regular imperial army until they went ashore, and there were even many women among them.

The level of civilization within the Inca Empire was not high.

Civilizations that don't even have formal writing, how earth-shattering things can they be expected to do?

……

……

Peru is a mining powerhouse in South America.

Iron and copper are abundant here, and of course there are gold and silver deposits as well, but for Zhu Hao, iron is the most important strategic resource, whether it is to build weapons in the future, or develop industry and agriculture, or even use it to build iron-hulled ships , require a large amount of iron.

But these aborigines don't even understand the basics of copper mining, and they haven't used bronze weapons yet, let alone let them dig iron ore.

But fortunately, this group of people is devout enough, and they are locals, who know the local topography. According to the samples given by Zhu Hao, plus the iron ore has a special color, and Zhu Hao has some knowledge of the Peruvian mining area... After all, later generations There is a mineral agreement between China and Peru, and the relationship is close.

Less than three days after landing, Zhu Hao discovered the iron ore production area less than [-] miles away from the camp.

It's just that the size of the coal mine and the difficulty of mining still need further exploration, and there are no results for the time being.

Zhu Hao took the army stationed in the camp and marched 500 miles inland. In a place surrounded by mountains and facing water, the mountain is a small mountain with a height of [-] meters, and the water is a lake with a radius of tens of kilometers. Based on the indigenous walled city, build the second camp in South America, which will be the main production base of iron ore in the future.

The iron content of the iron ore here is much better than the iron ore found around Chang'an City, but Zhu Hao knows that the biggest problem in South America is the lack of coal mines. Coal and iron ore are produced.

"If you go south for about a hundred miles, there are probably coal mines."

Zhu Hao stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.

Below is a group of indigenous people who are busy cleaning up before mining, and the nitroglycerin explosive brought by Zhu Hao has the effect of calming down the local people.

With the earth-shaking explosion, the mountain was blasted into a big hole, so that the mining of iron ore can be started, because it is not an open-air iron ore production area, and the surrounding trees need to be felled, and the Andes are further up. Mountains... Zhu Hao feels that the environment here is actually not suitable for garrisoning. He always feels that it is not a good thing to be in a low-lying place.

But who made the weapons owned by his subordinates advanced?
Moreover, the Inca Empire did not have horses, so there was no cavalry to launch a violent charge. In terms of animal domestication, there were no poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese... When Zhu Hao went to sea, he brought a batch of this simple livestock from Daming, and died on the way. It took nearly half of the time, and the rest came to life after landing, and this time I brought some of them to South America.

For them, the American continent is really a back-to-basics treasure.

……

……

Zhu Hao led the army to station No. 11 days in the mining area.

The first batch of envoys from the Inca Empire did not come from the capital city of Cusco, but the ruler of a city between Cusco and the coast, equivalent to a local lord, who brought nearly [-] troops and prepared to teach criminals The Ming army, until now they don't know the strength of the Ming army, they thought that the Ming people with the same black eyes, black hair and yellow skin were just aboriginal refugees driven out by the European colonists in the north.

Or they thought that Ming's army was just a "puppet army" that the European colonists used force to force them to join.

As a result, before their army arrived within ten miles of the camp, Zhu Hao personally led a thousand cavalry and a thousand militiamen, armed with muskets and cannons, fought against them on the flat field, and taught them how to behave.

"Boom!"

As the artillery blasted projectiles, the cavalry charged.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty mainly had heavy armor. Zhu Hao equipped this cavalry team with excellent weapons. Even if they didn't need to shoot firearms for a long distance, they could chase down the enemy with just bows, arrows and sabers.

The indigenous regular army didn't even have armor, and their weapons were all made of stone. It was not easy to throw them over, let alone hurt people, even smashing them on iron armor.

A thousand cavalry chased and killed 1 people.

In the rear, there were [-] Aztec natives and [-] "rebels" from the original place watching the fun.

It's really just watching.

Because the normal battle seems to have nothing to do with them, all you need to do is watch the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty show off their might below. In the middle game, no so-called warrior of the Inca Empire dared to rush towards the position of the Ming Dynasty. There are thousands of musketeers of the Ming Civil Army, and these musketeers are all carrying bows and arrows to maintain the stability of the basic front.

It took less than half an hour.

The battle ended with the complete victory of the Ming army.

The Ming army didn’t even have a single injured person. After counting the battlefield, more than half of the warriors of the Inca Empire were killed or injured. Some of the rest were captured, and some escaped without a trace. The lord of the Inca Empire who was the "invader" was also escorted to Zhu Hao.

"He said that on behalf of their king, he pays you the highest respect, everything is a misunderstanding!"

The translator brings the words.

Zhu Hao smiled.

Before the start of the fight, they looked confident, thinking that the Ming army had a small number and they could win a complete victory, so they swaggered and slowly drove over, without even the slightest intention of concealing the march. After the fight, they found out that their army was shit, so they said now This is a misunderstanding?

"He also said that he can negotiate with their king on our behalf, tell their king, and pay us tribute, just hope we don't go any further!"

The translator continued.

Zhu Haodao: "Tell him, it's not that I have any opinions on their king, but that the people of this country have opinions on their king, and some people want to replace them as kings. Of course, if their king can personally negotiate with me If so, then I can consider not attacking their capital...

"I know where their capital is. If their king does not come, then I will send troops to attack their capital in two months. At that time, their king and their people will be captured by me. At that time I will introduce a new king, let this new king lead his people and do things for me.

"I came here, all I need is gold, silver, and a strange ore. Tell them that this is the kind of thing that is also produced on their site. The more the better for me. If they want to establish a foothold here in the future, they won't be caught If I or someone else is eliminated, then they must listen to me."

Zhu Hao let go of the words.

The other party's answer was very strange: "Our king is chosen by the gods, and it cannot be decided by you."

This is equivalent to the divine right of the king.

The aborigines in South America are relatively backward, and the religion they believe in now still closely links the king and the gods.

Zhu Hao laughed and said: "Tell him, let him tell their king that I am a god, and I am the god sent by heaven to save them. If they don't work with gods, they can only wait to be punished by gods. Blood flowed like a river!
"I believe that the situation on the battlefield today is enough to wake them up. How mighty the warriors of the gods I brought are! No one can be our enemy!"
