After the encirclement and suppression of the gauchos, the situation in northern Argentina became more and more chaotic, and on 7 January, a patrol force of more than 70 people was ambushed by unknown armed forces and the entire army was annihilated.

On 9 January, nearly 100 Argentine soldiers were again ambushed and annihilated 100 miles from the site of the previous ambush.

On 10 January, more than 700 Indians took the initiative to attack the Argentine troops, inflicting more than 50 casualties on the opposing side,......

Half a month after the beginning of the unrest in the north, more than a dozen Argentine troops were attacked by rebel forces. More than 200 Argentine soldiers were killed in the unrest, and another 300 were traumatized to varying degrees.

In the rebellion in the north, the Argentine troops suffered a total of about 500 soldiers, and the number of casualties could not be compared with the combat losses on the front.

However, considering that there were less than 20,000 whites and 3,000 regular soldiers in the entire northern provinces of Argentina, 500 casualties was still a large proportion of soldiers.

The Indians and gauchos numbered nearly 100,000 in the northern provinces of Argentina, and under the bloody suppression of the insurgency launched by the Argentine troops and the genocide policy against the Indians, more and more Indians joined the resistance and took the initiative to find opportunities to fight the Argentine troops.

The total number of armed forces in the rebellion exceeded 5,000, of which two were the most powerful and won many victories in the process of opposing the Argentine forces, one was a mixed Indian and gaucho force headed by Davis the Gaucio, numbering about 800 people, and the Argentine troops launched several special extermination operations without success.

The other force was the new Indian-led armed forces, numbering about 600 men and armed with more than 200 rifles.

Except for some of the rifles in the hands of the Indians, they had seized them from the Argentine department, and the other part had been obtained by them from unknown sources.

The Indians were a little smaller in number than the Davises, but they posed a greater threat to the Argentines. More than half of the more than 200 Argentine soldiers killed were killed at the hands of this group of Indian soldiers.

As the rebellion in northern Argentina grew, the local garrison largely lost control of the situation and had to retreat to a few important strongholds to seek assistance from the main Argentine forces.

The battle for Misiones was once again at a stalemate, and at this time there was a rebellion in the north, and it was natural for Argentina to assume that the Paraguayans were behind it.

If it was a simple Indian rebellion, Sarmiento and Mitre were confident that the local garrison would be able to hold their strongholds until the end of the Misiones War, but once external forces intervene, especially a small military power like Paraguay near the northern region to send some troops to support the rebels, then the northern region is likely to be lost in a short time.

After the defeat of the Paraguayan war, the Argentine ruling oligarchs who had personally fought with López Jr. knew the strength of the Paraguayan army, so in the face of the high probability that the Paraguayans would support the rebel forces in the north, Argentine President Sarmiento and Mitre, who held the military power of the Federal District, issued an order to Antrerios to send 2,000 soldiers under Delki to reinforce the northern provinces and be responsible for quelling the rebellion.

The northern provinces are high and densely forested, and the roads are difficult to pass, so the gauchos and Indians took advantage of the complex geographical environment to resist the invasion of white forces, and reserved a piece of land belonging to the Indians when the Indians in other countries and regions in South America were slaughtered.

At the end of the nineteenth century, the Argentine national strength of the Argentine country was greatly improved by vigorously introducing European immigrants and carrying out industrialization reforms, and then the Argentine troops used sophisticated weapons to first exterminate the Indians in the southern desert area, and then solved the problem of the Indians in the north by means of step-by-step immigration and encirclement and suppression, but now is not the end of the nineteenth century, Argentina's national strength has not only not been improved, but because of the defeat in the Paraguayan War, the slow progress of the Misiones War and other unfavorable factors, the country's development has stagnated or even retreated. Pamiento's order to send troops became a hot potato in the hands of Delky, and he relied on Mitre's support to bring down Urquiza to take charge of the province of Antlerios, and the other party not only had favor to him, but also had evidence in his hand to threaten him, and the order to send troops must be obeyed both from the overall situation and private interests.

Of course, it was just to send troops to quell the chaos, and Delki might not be conflicted. There is an unspoken rule in Argentina that the troops seconded by the central government will not be owned by the local forces after the war, but will be assigned to the central government. This unspoken rule not only exists between the central and local forces, but the local warlords and oligarchs also use similar methods to annex the troops of other forces, so the number of troops in Argentina is not small, but during the Paraguayan war, the number of troops sent was limited, because no one wanted their troops to go abroad to fight, and then the meat buns and dogs were gone.

Even if reluctantly, Delki finally made the decision to send two thousand troops. In order to maintain the stability of the situation and the smooth transfer of power, Delki promised to maintain the positions of key officials and generals such as the government and the army in the early days of his power, and then used various means to weaken the power of Urquiza's faction and support his henchmen to take the position in the first six years of power.

After six years of suppression and weakening, Urquiza's remaining subordinates in the army were only more than 30 large and small officers, mainly Colonel Celt, and the task of reinforcing the northern provinces fell to Celt.

In the spacious barracks, more than 20 officers, large and small, walked into a heavily guarded military tent one after another.

"Have you all arrived?"

A tall and thin officer in his forties said in a deep voice.

"Major Grant, Lieutenant Colonel Wright, and Major Cole said they were going to carry out General Delky's orders, but they didn't come."

"Hehe, carry out Delky's orders? Didn't Delki assign us reinforcements to the northern provinces to suppress the rebellion? Can they still make Delki change the order? ”

An officer in his thirties scoffed.

"Defect to Delki, others may not accept them, don't drive us non-descendant officers out of the army, where will Delki make room for his cronies."

"They want to take refuge in Delki, we can't stop it, now everyone is discussing what to do, do you want to follow the order to go to the north to quell the rebellion?"

Celt stopped the controversy of his officers and spoke.

"Sir, there are eight thousand regular troops and militia under Derky, why do you have to send us over to counterinsurgency!

The Indians of the North and the Gauche are fierce and difficult Everyone has heard of it, and the local 3,000 regular army and 1,000 or 2,000 militia cannot control the situation. ”

"The rebel armed forces in the northern provinces are huge, and Delki pushed us to the front line to use us as cannon fodder, whether you are willing to go to quell the rebellion or not, anyway, I won't go, it's a big deal to take off this military uniform and go home to farm, it's better than being used as a gun by others and dying in the mountains and forests in the end."

The order to send troops to quell the rebellion stirred the nerves of the officers in the military tent, and the previously suppressed dissatisfaction with Delki instantly exploded.

On the surface, Sert looked cautiously at the officers who were venting their dissatisfaction in the military tent, but he was very satisfied.

"Listen to me."

Feeling that the heat was enough, Celt spoke: "Six years ago, President Urquiza voluntarily gave up military power in exchange for Delky to recognize that our position in the army remained unchanged, but Delky turned his face and refused to admit it after becoming the governor of Antrerios, and used some small excuses to drive his brothers out of the army and reduce the salaries of the remaining troops.

Now we control less than one-third of the troops six years ago, and the equipment of the troops is also the worst among the troops in the province of Anterios, and Delki is not satisfied, and wants to kick the brothers to the northern provinces to fight with the Indians, brothers, we can't bear it any longer, support the return of President Urquiza, and drive Delki out of Antrerios! ”

Celte's last words calmed the officers in the military tent, how did Cert move him out after six years of resignation and had left the province of Anterios.

The officers' questions were answered by a man who came out from behind the tent.

Tslenko is connected to the province of Antlerios by water, and after Urquiza quietly returned to the province by boat, he secretly made contact with his former subordinates and laid out a plan to return to power.

Celt had a regular army of 1,000 men in his hands, and another thousand militias adapted from Urquiza's troops were also under his command.

Celt had an army of 2,000 at his disposal, and enlisting his support was an important part of the plan.

Derki's order to send Celt to the northern provinces gave Urquisa a chance, and the originally hesitant Celt threw himself into the other side after receiving the order, and the scene in the military tent was also a performance arranged by the two in advance.

Urquiza stepped forward, while inciting the dissatisfaction of the officers against Delky, and on the other hand, he used the promotion to win the hearts of the people, and with both hands, the officers in the military tent returned to Urquiza's command.

"Delki has installed a lot of cronies in the army, you guys go back to the army first, control Delki's people, and then assemble troops tonight."

Urquiza simply assigned the task, and more than 20 officers returned to the garrison and began the operation to eliminate Delky's cronies.

One afternoon, more than a dozen officers arranged by Derki in the 2,000 old department of Urquisa were all controlled, and at one o'clock at midnight, the assembled troops arrived outside the city, and with the cooperation of the internal personnel, they took the city gate, and before Delki's troops could react, they captured Delki and hundreds of officials belonging to Delki's line, and the province of Anterios fell back into the hands of Urquiza.
