"What's the case in Brazil lately? Did anything happen? ”

After arranging the recruitment of technical shipbuilders from the Jiangnan Shipyard, Li Mingyuan began to inquire about information about Brazil.

"The situation in Brazil is very delicate, after Paraguay occupied the western Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, the two reconquest operations organized by the Brazilian army failed, and because Pedro II sent 30,000 black soldiers to the front, after the end of the operation, more than half of the 30,000 black soldiers were lost, leading to demonstrations against government recruitment in several states where there were large numbers of black Brazilians."

"Is the protest by black Brazilians the brainchild of your security department?"

"The black Brazilians protested spontaneously, and the Department of Security did not participate in the operation."

Although Shen Fushan very much hoped that this incident was done by the intelligence personnel of the Department of Security and Security, after questioning the officers in charge of Brazilian intelligence affairs, Shen Fushan found that the black protest demonstrations were indeed not intervened by Han intelligence personnel, and that the more than 10 demonstrations were just the spontaneous actions of more than 100 blacks who were unwilling to go to the front line to fight at first.

"Your Highness, the demonstrations in Brazil are not simple, and I believe that there is a hidden force behind the demonstrations that leads the development of events."

"Could it be the republicans who oppose Pedro II?"

Li Mingyuan guessed.

"Unlikely." Shen Fushan shook his head and said, "The people who participated in the demonstrations were all black Brazilians, and the intelligence officers hidden in Brazil did not see any white people contacting them, but there were many blacks wearing headscarves who secretly entered the areas inhabited by blacks, so my subordinates thought that the forces that instigated the blacks to confront the Brazilian government were probably the black Tianfang cultists who launched a rebellion a few years ago, and they wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Brazil to fish in troubled waters and master more than 100,000 black soldiers to achieve their goal of establishing a Tianfang country in Brazil." ”

"Brazil's muddy waters are getting muddled and muddy." Li Mingyuan gloated: "Since Brazil's independence, local separatist forces have become independent and rebels have continued, and now the Brazilian army has been defeated in the hands of the National Defense Forces and the Paraguayan army. ”

"Your Highness, the Brazilian Empire has always been wary of the Han Kingdom, and now that the domestic situation in Brazil is making waves again, Pedro II has the intention of intervening in the Argentine Unification War in the coming year, and I am afraid that he does not have the strength to do it.

Therefore, he suggested that the intelligence agents lurking in Brazil should get in touch with the black Celestial cultists and encourage them to launch a rebellion as soon as possible, so as to contain the energy of the Brazilian army and serve the strategy of our army's unification of Argentina. ”

"It is very difficult for the Security Department to install intelligence personnel in Brazil, and it is easy to expose the black Tianfang cultists by directly sending our people to contact them, so I think it is better to tell López Jr. the news, so that the Paraguayan side can come forward to support them, let's not interfere for the time being, and wait until the incident develops for a period of time before making a decision."

In 1837, the black Brazilian Celestials launched an uprising in Salvador, the capital of Bahia, and successfully occupied the city of Salvador, and implemented a cruel Celestial Religion system, which imposed the death penalty on blacks who violated the teachings of Celestial Religion and whites who had time to escape in the future, so that the original dominant situation quickly disappeared, and was finally suppressed by the Brazilian army.

On the day of the reconquest of El Salvador, all the black people who participated in the rebellion or believed in the Celestial Religion were executed on the spot, and some of the black leaders of the Celestial Sect who brutally killed the white inhabitants were regarded as a model by the Brazilian army and sentenced to death with artillery punishment learned from the British.

Artillery punishment is a cruel criminal law in which a prisoner is tied to the muzzle of a cannon and then directly fired a cannonball to execute the prisoner.

The self-proclaimed civilized British gentlemen used artillery to deter and execute the rebellious Indian insurgents, and the Brazilian army followed suit, using artillery torture on the rebellious black Celestial cultists, and it achieved a good deterrent effect.

After the rebellion of the black Celestials was quelled in 1837, until 1878, the Celestials did not dare to rebel again for forty-one years.

The temperament of the Tianfang Sect is very easy to understand, when the strength is insufficient, dress up as a weak person to fight for various rights, and when the strength is strong and the number is superior, they must establish a pure Tianfang Sect state and force others to do things according to their rules, this method is very effective in Europe where the white left prevailed in later generations, but in the current era of colonialism, Li Mingyuan is very optimistic about the actions of the black Brazilian Celestial Sect.

It is true that Pedro II raised more than 100,000 black troops, but after deducting the casualties of previous wars and the black soldiers who did not dare to resist the Brazilian government, how many black soldiers could follow the Celestial Cultists?

At most, the black Celestial Sect caused some trouble to the Brazilian government, and wanted to rely on their own strength to cut off a piece of land from the Brazilian Empire, but it was unlikely that they would establish an independent state, so in the face of an abandoned son who was bound to fail, Li Mingyuan would not waste valuable resources and intelligence personnel on them.

The Han side watched the development of the black demonstrations and protests in Brazil with a cold eye, while López Jr., who received information from the Han government, readily agreed to support the black Tianfang uprising, and immediately ordered his subordinates to take action.

If you want to say why López Jr. agreed to support the black Brazilian Celestials so neatly, it is because the situation in Paraguay is not good, Paraguay's young adults have lost seven or eight out of ten in the two wars, and the occupation of the Brazilian state of Magrosso do Sul has relieved the severe economic pressure in Paraguay, but it has not been able to fundamentally solve the problem, in order to resist the high-intensity pressure of the Brazilian army, López Jr. took the suggestions put forward by his cronies without having the funds and materials, Divide large quantities of newly occupied lands in Paraguay and Magrosso do Sul among his generals, nobles, and rank-and-file soldiers.

The policy of dividing the land adopted by López Jr. could not be maintained forever, so in order to make time for the domestic economic development, it was the most important thing for López Jr. to make trouble and cause trouble for the Brazilian Emperor Pedro II.

With the weapons and material support sent by López Jr.'s men, the black Tianfang cultists were much bolder.

On 26 April, the first clashes took place between black Brazilians who had been instigated and Brazilian soldiers who were maintaining order.

On 29 April, bloody clashes broke out in the Recife region, in which more than a dozen black demonstrators were injured and more than 200 were arrested.

On 2 May, more than 2,000 premeditated black Celestial Cultists besieged the Salvadoran Police Station, and the next day the police station was occupied, and the Black Celestial Cult declared Bahia independent from the Brazilian Empire and the Celestial Church of Bahia was restored.

As a result, the revolt of the black Brazilians broke out again.
