Invincible urban management

Chapter 25, Mrs. Wen's Detachment of Women

However, even if they are regarded as gods by the indigenous people, to be honest, they are still just a bunch of rookies with little experience.

For example, when Wang Qiu jumped off the sedan chair and walked into the red prefabricated house where Archangel Wen Desi lived, he heard Wen Desi pointing to a pile of pink cardboard boxes that had just been delivered, pointing at the full Sister Ma Tong, who was astonished, roared angrily:

"...Playing the piano randomly! The country is already severely underpopulated, so why do you need to wear condoms? Everyone has an obligation to increase production and serve the country!"

"...Even if this is the case, the problem of the spread of xing disease cannot be ignored!"

Sister Ma Tong also yelled back without showing any weakness, "...you go and see those people outside, how many of them are suffering from syphilis? Although penicillin is indeed effective for this disease, the consequences are still very serious! Do you want Your own army is the same as the Japanese intervention army that landed in Vladivostok to participate in the Soviet-Russian Civil War, because it messed around with the old Maozi's sao woman, but it was destroyed by sexual illness before seeing the enemy?"

— Like potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, and corn, syphilis is a specialty of the New World.

Of course, unlike smallpox, which almost caused the genocide of Indians in the Americas, the disease of syphilis has been with Indians for thousands of years.Therefore, the Indians are more or less immune to it, and the problems caused are not too serious.After the traversers brought modern antibiotics, it would be even less of a problem—today's syphilis has not yet had time to evolve drug resistance.

However, senior sister Ma Tong saw a potential business opportunity in this aspect, so she bought a lot of condoms of various flavors from modern times, and planned to promote them so as to prevent xing diseases from the root.

But the problem is that His Excellency Wen Desi's current population policy is "more births are more honorable" than family planning... As a result, conflicts arose between the two sides.

Seeing such a pointless quarrel, Wang Qiu immediately came over to smooth things over.

"...Senior Ma Tong, senior Wen Desi, please stop arguing about things that are not urgent. Whether it is raising the birth rate or preventing syphilis, neither of them came as fast as the Spanish invaders—now it is 1518 It's late autumn! In a few months, the famous Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortez will set sail from the island of Cuba to send troops to Mexico...For us, the days of peace are already numbered I don't know if the head of literature has thought of a comprehensive countermeasure?"

Wen Desi and Ma Tong looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Professor Yang who was studying the sand table map in the corner of the room—in this small team, only Professor Yang had really experienced war when he was young, so he has always been responsible for the war. Studying future combat plans to deal with the Spaniards.

However, so far, he has not heard any detailed strategic plan proposed by him.

As if he noticed everyone's gaze, Professor Yang took off his presbyopic glasses on the bridge of his nose, rubbed his temples, coughed a few times in distress, "...ahem, comrades, this strategic plan is really difficult to formulate Ah! for the next two years we shall not only defend against the Spanish invasion, but at the same time take advantage of the storm that the Spanish invasion unleashes to weaken the supremacy of the Aztec Empire, thus doing the work of Hunciutez The kingdom creates a favorable surrounding environment...there are too many variables lurking in it.

The strength and military strength of the Hongxiutizgan Kingdom are very limited.In the meantime, it's still unclear who will be the enemy and who will be the ally—let's not forget that all the modern goods we're dumping in Mexico have already had a huge butterfly effect on the world.Now, none of us can deduce whether, in the coming year, the Emperor Montezuma of the Aztec Empire will lead the wolf into his house as stupidly as in history; Can it still be saved from danger many times like in history...

Therefore, there are many things that can only be seen as tricks, and there is no way to plan in advance. "

Speaking of this, Professor Yang changed the topic again, "...But, as the saying goes, intelligence comes first before soldiers and horses are moved. The information recorded in those history books is not as real as what we witnessed. I think that no matter what we What kind of strategy will be implemented in the future, it is time to lead the team into the northern Mexico Valley before the arrival of the Spaniards, wander around the capital of the Aztec Empire, and at least get familiar with the main battlefield in the future It will do. Do you have any opinion on the matter?"

……

Two days later, under the pretext of renewing the peace treaty with the Aztec Empire, a small army of envoys set out from Porto de Hope, the new capital of the Hunxiutizcan Kingdom, and headed northward, and began to cross the majestic Sierra Madre do Sul, deep into the inland.

The goal of their journey this time is the largest city in the Western Hemisphere in this era, the capital of the Aztec Empire on the Mexican Plateau-Tenochtitlan.

--------------------------------

In November 1518, on a clear and cool dry day, a small army was trudging through the rugged mountain roads leading into the Valley of Mexico.

From the perspective of modern people, the members of this army include a total of 20 ladyboys, 50 young and Dangerous boys, 200 migrant workers on construction sites, 50 pig slaughterers in slaughterhouses, and more than 500 big bag bearers. Coolies... Does that sound a little weird?

So, here is a little translation.

Under the banner of envoys, the army of King Hunxiutizgan, who went to the territory of the Aztec Empire to conduct battlefield reconnaissance, was led by about 20 noblemen of Hunxiutizgan who were covered in bird feathers and metal rings.Below are 50 traditional Indian warriors with plastic slippers on their feet, holding watermelon knives and poisoned modern crossbows, wearing beach shorts and vests, with oil paint on their faces, and looking like young and Dangerous traditional Indian warriors; and 200 dressed in blue Short-sleeved overalls, stainless steel kitchen knives hanging on their waists, spears in hand, and yellow hard hats on their heads, they look like light infantry soldiers of construction workers; finally, there are 50 full-body metal cut-resistant safety suits equipped with modern slaughterhouse workers, carrying them in their hands. Heavy infantry with a long-handled ax and a large pig-killing knife-this kind of full-body metal anti-cutting suit for modern slaughterhouses is a proper full-body armor for heavy infantry in ancient times. In terms of protection, it is definitely not as good as the iron cans of Western knights. Difference!

Of course, wearing such a bulky full-body armor on the bumpy mountain road, it will definitely be very difficult to walk.Therefore, these respected heavy infantrymen took off the cut-resistant uniforms issued to them at this time, and handed them over to the porters behind to carry them, while they marched lightly.

What is more tragic is that the gender ratio of this army is very problematic. Except for 50 young and Dangerous archers, the rest of the migrant workers' light infantry and butcher-style heavy infantry are all female.The male to female ratio of combatants is about 1:5 (porters who deliver goods are not counted as combat power).

——No way, although the total population of the Hongxiu Tizgan Kingdom has recovered from [-] to [-], the problem of the imbalance of male to female ratio has not been effectively resolved.

Because, after the fall of the Hunxiutizgan Kingdom, most of those ambitious and strong men crossed the mountains and went to join their allies in Tlaxcala, and then they were besieged by the Aztec Empire with heavy troops. The outside world cut off the news.

However, the tribes that stayed in the kingdom's homeland were mainly old and weak, women and children.Even after Chief Awaha united the scattered tribes and re-emerged as king in Port of Hope, the Hongxiutizgan young and strong men living in Port of Hope were deducted from those newly defected foreigners. There are only 5000 people, and there are only a few hundred noble warriors who are really capable of fighting. Whether it is fighting or breeding, it seems a bit insufficient.

What's more terrible is that even the slaves trafficked by slave traders from all over the world are mainly female slaves-as we all know, the main source of slaves in ancient society was usually captives in various wars.But the problem is, according to the traditional customs of various ethnic groups in Central America, male captives are usually dragged up to the pyramids and disemboweled to sacrifice to the gods. Only women will be left behind as slaves.Unless there are too many male prisoners of war, exceeding the number required for living sacrifices, they will be used as slaves.

As a result, the "source of goods" in the hands of slave traders is naturally mainly female slaves, and there are very few male slaves who can be used for war.

What's more, all the travelers who have traveled through history have studied history, and they all know that the ancient Roman Empire abused barbarian mercenaries excessively in the late period, but ignored the reliable citizen soldiers of their own tribe, which eventually led to the tragic consequences of barbarian rebellions and the collapse of the entire empire.

Therefore, before the completion of racial integration, the use of fighters of other races must be restricted, at least they cannot be used as the main force.

However, Hongxiu Tiz's young and strong men are too rare and expensive at present, and they still have to keep their breeding grounds to have children!what to do?

Easy!Since men are not enough, let women serve as soldiers!

Equipped with stainless steel knives and axes that surpassed the times, metal cut-resistant clothing that surpassed the times, as well as harpoons, earthen muskets, Molotov cocktails, large firecrackers wrapped in iron filings, etc. A series of big killers Afterwards, Wen Desi felt that it would be no problem to let strong Indian women go to the army to fight. For example, he himself was always unable to beat his wife, Princess Maca...

Therefore, President Wen ordered to recruit soldiers from Hongxiutizgan women to form a new army, and soon pulled up an army of [-] women.

——After Chief Avaha officially ascended the throne and became king, the status of Wen Desi also rose.The title he currently holds translates to "Great General" in Chinese, but Wen Desi prefers to call himself "Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces", referred to as Commander-in-Chief Wen, or President Wen.

However, although Wen Desi brought a bunch of books on the art of war to study all day long, he has no actual combat experience after all, let alone some common sense of war in the Stone Age—there has never been any art of war in history that was written in the Stone Age— ——In order to prevent himself from making fatal and low-level mistakes in the battle like Zhao Kuo, who killed 40 troops in the Battle of Changping, like Zhao Kuo, Wen Desi hired a female warrior who fled from the Aztec Empire Archin Bona, as the top advisor of the Seven Thousand Detachment of Women, sometimes acts as the actual commander of this wonderful army.

What surprised Wen Desi was that the elders and nobles of the Hongxiutizgan Kingdom had no objection to this appointment that he thought would encounter great resistance, and there was even a "should have been so long ago" statement.

——It turns out that although the warriors of the Hongxiutizgan people once had an all-powerful and invincible era, among the major forces in the Indian civilization world in Central America, the Hongxiutizgan people are recognized as the The most unbeatable.

A comparison can be made here. The Tlaxcalans are close to the capital of the Aztecs, and they have fought fiercely with the elite main force of the Aztec Empire for nearly a century.Now, although the people of Tlaxcala are in a very difficult situation, they are not defeated after all.

As for the Hongxiutizgans, who hid behind the layers of majestic mountains and enjoyed decades of peace, they fought against a hard-working Aztec army for four years before being given a hard time. The birthplace caused the country to collapse, and the population of 60 was less than [-]—in fact, even those tribes that had been forced to submit to the Aztec Empire, although they still lost in the end, they still lost on the battlefield. He wasn't beaten so badly!

Under such a heavy blow, even Hongxiutizgan himself lost confidence in his clan's military skills.

As the saying goes, the enemy is the best teacher. Before you "men of god" have shown any devastating fighting ability, it is also an emergency measure to let the warriors of the enemy country teach the cowards of their own clan.

Now, Archimbona is the guide of this army, leading Wen Desi and others to advance from Port of Hope towards Tenochtitlan.

From Porto de Hope (Acapulco in later generations) to Tenochtitlan (Mexico City in later generations), the straight-line distance on the map is about 300 kilometers, which does not seem too far at first glance.But the problem is that Port Hope is located on the beach along the Pacific Ocean, with an average elevation of 20 meters or less.The city of Tenochtitlan hangs high above the Mexican plateau, with an average altitude of 2250 meters!

Just saying a number seems a bit empty, so here is an example: the altitude of Mount Tai is 1532 meters, and the altitude of Mount Fuji is 3776 meters.A trip to Mexico City from the Pacific coast is equivalent to hiking 1.5 Mount Tai, or 23 Mount Fuji…

Moreover, this is the height of the valley of Mexico. As for the many mountains that lie between the valley and the coast, their peaks are above the snow line!

In short, the endless bumpy mountain roads along the way, the ever-changing white snow all over the mountains, and the drastic changes in climate and vegetation, gave Wen Desi, a traveler, the feeling of a man living on the banks of the Ganges. The Indians are like crossing the Himalayas and breaking into Xizang.

No wonder the Aztecs were not very interested in conquering the Hunxiutizgan Kingdom after they established a powerful empire. It's such a huge climate difference that I can't adapt to it at all!

Therefore, it took the envoys of the Hongxiutizgan Kingdom a month to complete the 300 kilometers of road on the map.

The only good thing is that although the land is barren and sparsely populated along the way, there are still a few villages scattered in the valley anyway.Moreover, the attitude of the villagers towards the Hongxiutizgan people is quite friendly.Wen Desi and the others can use small things that are popular everywhere, such as salt, sugar, matches, fruit knives, antibiotic pills, etc., to exchange with them for food such as corn and peppers, and they will not stop halfway.

——Indian porters traveling with the army can carry up to 30 kilograms of luggage for a long journey. After deducting the necessary weapons, clothes, blankets and goods, the envoys only took 10 days of rations when they set off. As for the remaining For the part, we can only rely on purchasing along the way.

And some soldiers who could not adapt to the high mountain climate and fell ill halfway could also recuperate in those villages and pick them up when they returned.

But even so, this journey still made everyone exhausted, even Wen Desi who was sitting in a sedan chair was no exception.

The only exception seems to be the Aztec female warrior Archimbona who was born and raised in these mountains.At this time, although her face was also full of wind and dust, she was still full of energy, forming an unusually sharp contrast with the tired-looking Hongxiutizgan soldiers around her.

"...Honorable Archangel, as long as we climb over the mountain in front of us, we will enter the valley."

Archimbona took a few steps forward with her battle ax on her back, leaned close to Wen Desi's sedan chair, and reported respectfully to the general who was drowsy during the bumpy road, "...Excuse me, is it right? Should I invite all plague gods to come down to earth?"

After witnessing the various powers of the "gods", as well as getting the sharp steel swords and axes with his own hands, and tasting the intoxicating spirits, this Aztec muscular man who was still somewhat arrogant The female warrior became extremely humble to Wen Desi and others.

"...Ah... is it coming soon? Then it is really time to prepare. Stop the sedan chair! The whole army stops advancing, and we will camp here today to rest!"

Hearing that the destination was close at hand, Wen Desi immediately woke up with a jerk, got off the sedan chair quickly, and issued the above order.

Following his order, all the soldiers and coolies whose legs had been numb for a long time fell to the ground limply, causing the still energetic consultant Archimbona to look at him with disdain for a moment.

Then, Wen Desi took out a trolley case from under the seat of the sedan chair, found a flat open space on the side of the road, and opened it lightly.

The next moment, the wormhole exuding traces of black air slowly floated up from the box, hanging in mid-air.

And the members of the missions around, no matter how tired they were, moved their bodies respectfully, saluted and bowed in this direction.

But Wen Desi, the "Archangel", was obviously not so respectful.I saw him take out a note paper, tore off a page, scribbled something with the ballpoint pen in his pocket, and then crumpled it up and threw it into the wormhole, in order to remind the compatriots in the modern world opposite. wake up.

About an hour later, with a flash of white light, the four "plague gods" instantly appeared in front of everyone in the mission.

And at the same time, there is also the vigorous and energetic Loli Mengyin of the head of Cai Rong.

"...Hiss—it's so cold! Mexico seems to be in the tropics? Why is it so cold? Ah Chi!"

"...I can't help it, leader! Who told you that the altitude of this place is 2000 meters? You should put on this leather jacket quickly! Otherwise, if you catch a cold, it's a trivial matter for you to catch a cold. Another major plague broke out in the world, and that would be a tragedy..."

While Wang Qiu was nagging like a mother-in-law, she put a bright red leather jacket on Cai Rong.
