A detachment of heavily armed cavalry quickly skimmed along the railway line under construction, slowly disappearing into the northern horizon.

"I'm going to fight those gaucho bandits again! Grass, it's time for those brutes to clean up. Brother Wang, who came with me, from Laiyang County, was rated eleventh by the top rating just a while ago because of his excellent performance. The brothers are happy for him, more than thirty people, and they can get a daughter-in-law, although he is a woman, but he is also a woman, isn't it? A man in his thirties shook his head and sighed, "The big guy was about to go to the restaurant in the canyon fort to celebrate him, who knew that when he was chopping wood yesterday, he had to kill a group of gaucho horse bandits who came out of nowhere." The corpse was thrown into the woods, and a pair of leather shoes that had just been issued on his feet were snatched. What a damn grandma's bad luck! ”

The other people who heard the news also sighed in unison, this day has just had a little head, and suddenly suffered this catastrophe, which will be regretted by whoever comes. As I said above, these Gaoqiao horse bandits were all bewitched by the foreign monks in the west, and they were originally outlaws who were bitter haha, just like the Jiangyang thieves of the Ming Dynasty, and now they see us Daming...... Well, the people of the East Coast are getting more and more prosperous, so they stretch out their dog's paws to rob everyone, how can this work?!

It seems that in the future, the training of the Rausch militia will be a snack, don't wait until the Gaoqiao horse bandits come to kill you, you won't even be able to put the bird gun, then it's not the end of the calf? However, when I thought of those Gaoqiao horse bandits who came and went like the wind and killed people without blinking, these Da Ming mud legs who had just put down their hoes were a little trembling in their hearts, but considering the consequences of not being able to complete the militia training. They almost trembled all over. God, the land will be confiscated, and in the future, you will only have to farm for others. Such a day was unacceptable to them, so it was more sensible for them to try to complete the painful militia training in comparison.

Another group of cavalry slowly passed by, this time the horse team was larger, there were fifty or sixty horsemen, in addition to those on the east coast in dark blue military uniforms, there were also more than ten white men dressed in gorgeous Latin faces, perhaps Spaniards? The Ming immigrants who have been on the East Coast for more than half a year are not a group that knows nothing about the outside world. Occasionally, they would get some useful information from the local garrison or from the old settlers. For example, they knew that the relationship between the Spaniards and the East Coast had always been complicated. The inhabitants of the Spanish colonies had a decent, if not slightly friendly, view of the Eastern Coast Republic; However, the missionaries who came from the homeland or the Spanish nobles and officials who were more religious in their faith had a very bad impression of the people on the east coast, and even very badly.

For example, Baron Bravo in front of him is like this. Although he was born in the colony, he was, after all, a pure-blooded white Spaniard. Both his father's and his mother's family have a certain influence in Spain. He spends most of his time in Spain. At worst, they will stay in colonial cities with a strong Spanish atmosphere, such as Lima or Mexico City. Sometimes, of course, he had to make rounds of wild places such as La Plata or Chile in order to fulfill his duty as a special envoy of the West Indies. By the way, take care of your own local business.

It was the second time he had been to the East Coast, whether it had been ten years ago or eleven or twelve years ago, he couldn't remember, and he had no interest in any of the places that did not attract his attention. It seemed like I had come to sign a peace treaty with the people from the east coast here, oh, what a not-so-pleasant experience. Although the local officials and merchant leaders gave him valuable gifts, some of them continue to generate income for him to this day - his faithful servant Gilberto was able to recover more than 10,000 pesos in cash from the city of Colonia every year. But it still did not please him, for he had vaguely heard that the people of the East Coast here were all heretics, or even more odious heretics than the heathens. As a devout Catholic, what could be more intolerable than heretics and heretics? For this reason, he has been subconsciously reluctant to come to La Plata, even though the benefits from creating zào here have been increasing year by year.

This time, however, he had to come, because the bureaucrats of the West Indies had brought him a letter from the natives, asking him to go to the East Bank to negotiate with the local East Bankers, asking them to immediately stop the persecution of the Lord's followers, to allow religious freedom, and to warn them of what seemed to be suspected of crossing the border. For the Jesuit friars had reminded the kingdom several times that these vile people of the East were not satisfied with the land that the king had "given away" to them twelve years earlier, but had coveted the land near the vast mountains of Great Kuchilia.

Although the bureaucrats of the West Indies had been procrastinating, the Jesuit friars had been asking them for several years to intervene with the East Coast in the name of the Kingdom, to stop the persecution of the Charua and Guarani Catholics, and to send the so-called East Bank Archbishop they had appointed to Lima for a religious trial. The efforts of the Jesuit friars were not without success, and in the end it seemed that even the king had heard about it, so the bureaucrats of the West Indies had to instruct the Viceroyalty of Peru to send someone to La Plata to "see what was happening".

None of these bureaucrats knew that this kind of thing was difficult to handle, and if the local contradictions were exacerbated and the people on the east coast were provoked, they would gather a huge number of men to kill the city of Buenos Aires, and the Spaniards would have a great time. Now that the king has inquired about the matter, it seems that it is impossible to suppress the matter, so let the Lima side send someone over to "investigate". If the person sent is smart enough, then it doesn't matter if the investigation lasts for three or five years, everyone understands this kind of thing. The vast but bloated kingdom of Spain had no interests in the eastern coast, but Buenos Aires and Asunción were inseparable interests of the kingdom, and no one with a bit of a brain (well, this is disrespectful to the king) would want to engage in a large-scale conflict with the people of the eastern coast on a grassy steppe, which is not good news for the weakly defended La Plata.

That's why Baron Bravo came here. He was in Lima on a hunt for pleasure when his jealous husbands joined forces and kicked him to La Plata, citing the fact that he had been here twelve years earlier. Damn it, twelve years ago Madame Valerie was a newlywed delicate flower, and his faithful servant Gilberto had thick hair on the top of his head, and now Madame Valerie was a slut, and Gilberto was now more visible than a mirror. This is ridiculous!

However, Baron Bravo complained that since things had come to this point, he decided to do his job well. Moreover, he was also angry at the persecution of the believers of the Lord by the barbarian Easterners, who were untouchables of the uncivilized world, but the behavior of the Easterners was still intolerable, as the devout followers of the Lord Baron Bravo realized.

As the cavalry marched north along the long railway line, Baron Bravo was amazed at the large number of black South African labourers working the side of the road to lay the foundations. He was not uninformed, and this kind of railroad is now widely used in the mines of Europe, but generally the distances are very short, and no one has ever built such a long distance as the people on the east coast. And these rails look very unusual, not only are they much wider than those in Europe, but even the materials used are not comparable to the kind of iron-clad wooden tracks, well, it seems to be pure iron? Thinking of this, Baron Bravo's face was covered with a cloud, what do the people of the East Coast want to do? What was the purpose of building these roads? Is it to make it easier to penetrate into the interior of the west?

The railway stretched tenaciously north along the edge of the hills until it reached the end of the road, a castle under construction. Seeing this, Baron Bravo's face became even more ugly. Damn, the bureaucrats in La Plata are a bunch of idiots, especially Torres, who was transferred to Cuba last year. In all the years they have been in La Plata, no one has ever reported to Lima the movements of the people of the East Coast, so that the Viceroy of Peru and even the officials of the West Indies of the Kingdom can only make up for the present image of the people of the East Coast in their heads.

Castles, railways, docks, farmlands, villages, outposts, Baron Bravo saw so many of these things along the way, and these things undoubtedly confirmed the ambition of the people of the East Coast, whose ambition to expand westward was already obvious to Baron Bravo, who sooner or later crossed the border into the west of the Gran Cuchilia Mountains, a land that legally belonged to the Kingdom of Spain. Hmph, the people of the East Coast have even bothered to hide their ambitions, but the officials of La Plata are still playing dumb. Only the Jesuit monks were still worried about the country, and they did their best to arm the Charua and Guarani in the missionary area, and recruited the impoverished gauchos in La Plata to attack the colonies of the East Coasters, which somewhat curbed the ambitions of some of the East Coasters, but it was not enough in the end!

Baron Bravo took a deep breath, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a supreme sense of mission descending on him. For the sake of Spain, for the sake of the believers of the Lord, the wrongdoings of the people of the East Coast must be severely stopped! Many things must be corrected, the Kingdom of Spain is not something that the barbaric Tatars of the East Coast can afford to provoke, and they must repent of their crimes! (To be continued......)
