PS: Thanks for the lazy reader for the tip

After Bavi and his lieutenant fled, they also led the cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion that had pursued them all the way out of the Indian village.

The Bolivian officers who were attacking the Indian villages were warned in advance that they would leave before the arrival of the enemy's large force, but the Bolivian officers were not convinced at first, and sent more than 100 soldiers to try to eat the cavalry of the more than 20 reconnaissance battalions that rushed over, but the enemy did not catch them, and more than 30 casualties were suffered on their side.

After personally understanding the power of the Chinese Independence Army, the Bolivian officer decisively ordered the troops to retreat, and only then did the Indians see the scene.

The troops attacking the Indians were local security forces, all of which were infantry, so although they fled some time in advance, it didn't take long for them to catch up with the cavalry troops led by Li Mingyuan.

More than 1,000 Chinese cavalry surrounded the Bolivian soldiers like ducks, and the surrounded Bolivian soldiers did not have the excitement of attacking the Indians just now, and they nervously held their muskets but did not dare to shoot.

"Go, let their commander come out, I'm going to talk to him." Li Mingyuan greeted, and Zhao Erlang stepped out again to act as a messenger.

In the battle that took place in the morning, Zhao Erlang reacted quickly and lay on the ground in time, fortunately dodging the shooting of the Bolivian soldiers, but he was not hurt at all.

With the lesson of the morning's battle, Zhao Erlang, who once again served as a messenger, was much more cautious, and secretly considered in his heart that this time he could not get too close to the enemy, and once the situation was not right, he would immediately run back.

However, Zhao Erlang's worries this time were superfluous, the Bolivians in the encirclement of the Chinese cavalry, for fear of annoying the Chinese cavalry, how could they find their own death and shoot him, after Zhao Erlang shouted Li Mingyuan's request, the Bolivian soldiers were restless, and after a while, a Bolivian officer came out of the encirclement, it was Bavi, who had just escaped.

In the besieged Bolivian army, Bavi was as senior as the commander of the security forces, but Bavi was a direct subordinate of Balivian, so he was elected as a representative to negotiate with the Chinese Independence Army.

The Bolivian soldiers honestly sent representatives, and Zhao Erlang breathed a sigh of relief and took Bavi to the back to meet Li Mingyuan.

"The son, the man has brought it."

A group of cavalry got out of the way, and Bavi saw Li Mingyuan on horseback.

"Zhao Erlang, I heard about the noon incident, you did a good job, now I will appoint you as the commander of the third company of the reconnaissance battalion and the commander of the third platoon, as for the soldiers, they will be selected from your original village."

The reconnaissance battalion, like other field troops, was in a state of dissatisfaction, and the third platoon of the reconnaissance battalion promised by Li Mingyuan did not exist, and Zhao Erlang needed to recruit his subordinates from scratch.

After Zhao Erlang and the Chinese descendants in his village joined the Chinese Independence Army, they made a lot of contributions to helping the Chinese Independence Army to investigate intelligence, so Li Mingyuan took this opportunity today to appoint Zhao Erlang as the deputy company commander of the reconnaissance battalion, which can be regarded as an affirmation of the merits of the descendants of the Ming people in Peru.

"Thank you for your humble duties," Zhao Erlang excitedly bowed to Li Mingyuan.

Zhao Erlang and the descendants of the Ming Dynasty Chinese in the village looked different from the Chinese, although the Chinese Independent Army accepted them, but they still felt a little inferior in their hearts, so in the face of the orders issued by the commander of the army, Zhao Erlang always did it seriously, and tried to complete the task better.

And now Li Mingyuan personally recognized his merits and promoted him to be the deputy company commander of the reconnaissance battalion, causing Zhao Erlang to bow down to him in excitement, which had long been abolished.

"All the troops are brothers, and it is enough to salute between the superiors and subordinates, and they are not allowed to bow down in the future."

The backbone of the Chinese Independence Army belonged to the original survivors of the Taiping Army, and the humiliating kneeling salute was generally abolished among the officers and soldiers of the original Taiping Army, and only some of the newly joined Chinese laborers and some remnants of the Ming Dynasty represented by Zhao Erlang were not yet accustomed to it, and they knelt down and saluted Li Mingyuan in excitement.

Li Mingyuan seriously taught Zhao Erlang a word before turning his gaze to Ba Wei who was standing in front of him.

"Who is the highest military commander of your army?"

After Li Mingyuan spoke, Zhao Erlang immediately translated to Ba Wei.

Bavi honestly stated Ballyvian's name, and then explained the relationship between Ballyvian and Bolivian President Mariano Melgarejo.

Li Mingyuan heard that Bavi was threatening him with Melgarejo, but he didn't care at all.

The strength of the Chinese Independence Army is here, and no matter how Melgarejo decides, it will not cause fundamental damage to the Chinese Independence Army. The worst outcome was to delay the transfer of the Chinese Independence Army (CAA), which led to the delay in the support of the Paraguayan Humeta army.

The fortress is the core fortification of Paraguay, which was besieged by Brazil and Argentina for more than three months. And this was done when Paraguayan President López Jr. took a large number of the main forces with him.

The late arrival on the battlefield in Paraguay had little impact on the final outcome of the war, and Li Mingyuan negotiated with the Bolivian government in order to reduce the casualties of the Chinese troops in the process of transferring.

Therefore, Li Mingyuan did not beat around the bush with Bavi, and said directly: "Our army has no hostility towards your troops, this conflict is just a misunderstanding, I hope that Your Excellency will inform your minister of our sincerity, as long as your army gets out of the way of Bolivia's domestic roads, the Chinese Independence Army promises to leave Bolivia as soon as possible and will never participate in Bolivia's domestic affairs." ”

Knowing from Zhao Erlang's translator that Li Mingyuan had no intention of exterminating the besieged Bolivian army, Ba Wei's tense heart was temporarily put down, and he replied: "I will truthfully report your condition's conditions to the commander, and I hope that your army can let me and my subordinates leave safely." ”

"Of course, you can leave now. The captured Bolivian soldiers will also be let out later. ”

Li Mingyuan ordered the cavalry to lift the siege of the Bolivian troops and leave a road.

Ba Wei saluted Li Mingyuan and took two steps back to leave.

"Slowly, it's okay for people to leave, and the musket ammunition has to stay."

Ba Wei turned around and wanted to reason with Li Mingyuan, but when he saw the Chinese cavalry staring at him angrily, Ba Wei dispelled the idea of bargaining with Li Mingyuan, anyway, his weapons had been confiscated and it was impossible to return them.

And now the weapons they want to collect are not their own troops, so why should they take risks for the benefit of others?

Bavi retracted his turnaround steps and told the Bolivian soldiers the news to the besieged Bolivian soldiers.

The commander of the security forces was not happy at first, and most of the weapons and equipment of his troops were purchased by him with funds, otherwise he would not be able to be his own petty warlord.

Without these muskets, it would cost a lot of money to bribe the superiors to ask for supplies.

Of course he didn't want to, but his opinion didn't matter at this point. When the soldiers heard that they could leave with their muskets and ammunition, they put down their muskets and ammunition one after another, and after passing the inspection of the Chinese soldiers, they were the first to leave.

Seeing that he could not restrain his soldiers, the commander of the security forces had no choice but to accept the reality, pulled out the short gun on his waist, and left after being inspected like the rest of the Bolivian soldiers.
