Chapter 236: Sweeping the Banks of the Jing River (4)

After capturing the governor of the Ascension region, Valdo Pelos, things became simpler, and Gao Liang had a brief conversation with Valdo Pelos and asked him to go and recruit Pilar in the fortress of Lencortez. Pilar never dreamed that the reinforcements he was waiting for would be wiped out in less than an hour and a half, and even his immediate boss was beaten up with a white flag, and there was no choice but to open the gate of the fortress and surrender to them.

Under the command of Gao Liang and Monkey, the Spanish captives lined up in a long line, waiting for the ships that would return home later. As for the belongings and the like in the fortress, according to the arrangement of the Gouda year, all of them were given to the local Guarani who helped the indigenous Indians who besieged the city, which was also a guarantee of credibility, so as not to make them lose trust.

Leaving a thousand monkey soldiers to manage the fortress of Liankotez, the rest of the soldiers, led by Gao Liang and the monkeys, rode large and small ships upstream to the city of Asensong, where most of the captives were arranged to accept the management of the natives, and Gao Liang asked them not to abuse these captives, just take good care of them, and not let them run away. Valdo Pelos and Pilar were taken to Yacension, and Gao Liang and Monkey had no right to deal with the two of them, only Gao Nian had this qualification, after all, the two of them were the top leaders here.

The mighty fleet was five or six miles long, and the two of them sat in the front of the sea boat in high spirits, and behind them was a series of connected wooden boats, carrying the two highest-ranking captives, and the group headed for Yasensson. In the port, Gouda Nian had already received the news of the victory, and Gouda Nian lined up on the shoulders of the two, constantly complimenting the abilities of the two, and then took these people to the Governor's Palace of Valdo Pelos, and Gouda Nian planned to have a conversation with him, thoroughly understand some of the social and geographical environment here, and see how to develop and grow here, and rule the place in this area peacefully.

After all, they are not enemies of life and death, whether it is Gouda Nian or Valdo Pelos, they are fighting for their own national interests, and since they surrendered, Gouda Nian still gave them the necessary respect, and there was nothing insulting to degrading behavior. In the living room of Valdo Pelos, now Gouda has become the master, this is the right of the victor, Valdo Pelos has such an awareness, and he accepts it from the heart, because he did this to the indigenous people, and until now he can only guess that these people are from the distant Ming Dynasty.

Gao Nian asked, "Mr. Pelos, do you know that we are from there?" Why did we take this place? ”

Pelos shook his head and said, "I don't know where the general came from, but judging by the combat ability of your soldiers, they are definitely not native Indians. Let me judge for myself, you may be from the distant Ming Dynasty, because these advanced weapons and soldier combat skills are simply not available to the locals, otherwise, our fate will be extremely miserable, it seems that your army and soldiers belong to the people of civilized society, and only the Ming people I have heard about are possible. ”

Gao Nian smiled: "We are indeed from the distant Ming Dynasty, it was our great Emperor His Majesty who sent us on a round-the-world trip, the big fleet has left, and we are only a small part of it. But I don't know why your soldiers don't seem to fight, and their equipment seems to be poor, how can this be? ”

Pelos said: "The battle of specific soldiers, a combat formation that we were used to at that time, it can make up for the shortcomings of the power of musket bullets is too small, I didn't expect your troops to have such powerful firearms, so we suffered a big loss, maybe we need to change our tactics in the future." ”

"I would like to ask if you would like to cooperate with us, because we came to this place with the help of the Portuguese captain Carlos, and according to him you are now a king." He has now moved his whole family to the continent here, saying that the European continent is too unsafe, England, France, Holland, etc. are all challenging Spain's status as a great power, and your population is too small, and you occupy too many places. ”

Pelos nodded, and actually agreed with Gao Nian's opinion, the naval battle thirty years ago hit the Spaniards too hard, deeply engraved in the minds of every Spaniard, and from then on, Spain went downhill, being squeezed by England, the Netherlands, and France, and the country was weakening day by day.

López said: "I know Captain Carlos you mentioned, his family is a large family, and I did hear that they are moving to Brazil, but we Spaniards are not like that. Our country is much larger and more populous than Portugal, but there was a mistake in the royal family's strategy, which caused the decline of the country, and perhaps it will soon be even better. Now you say you want us to cooperate, how can we cooperate? ”

Gao Nian said: "I heard my general say that your king has divided the colonial demarcation line between Spain and Portugal, and this should belong to Portugal, and now you can help me stabilize this area, you may have seen our weapons, and I will support you with some weapons, so that your Spain will occupy the Central and North American region more stable and will not be disturbed by England, France, and the Netherlands. ”

Normally, both Gao Nian and López are not qualified to negotiate relations between the two countries, but now Gao Nian and Pelos have not thought about it so much, what you need to move is to stabilize the territory in this area, and López is considering that he has now lost the territory here, how to go back There is an excuse that can be explained, and he will definitely be punished by the king and his family if he returns to Spain in disgrace, but if he goes back in exchange for some weapons, even if they are not satisfied, It's a big deal that you can also use these weapons in your hands to organize another expedition and open up a larger territory, which is actually a good choice.

So López agreed to Goudanian's request, handed over the Yacension area to the control of Goudanian, summoned all the soldiers in the territory to Yacension, and let the army of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers led by the monkey accept it with them, so that Gaonian could reasonably and legally own all the management rights in the area of the Jing River and its tributaries, and this time the territory was expanded to the border with the Portuguese, and even a famous iron mine in Brazil in later generations was also included.

The mortar that Gundam gave to López is a small type made here, the kind that needs to be judged in advance, but the advantage is that it is easy to manufacture, lightweight, easy to carry, even a soldier can carry it on his back, and Gundam Nian also taught him a simple way to make improvised cannonballs, which made Pelos very happy, and all the horses of Lopez now have more than 7,000 people, including all the captives that Gundam Nian returned to him, which Gundam Nian did very well.

López accepted nearly 100 small mortars, plus Gundam gave them all their muskets, and now López has been able to compete with the power of many expeditions, but there are still embarrassing things. López and they can't get out from the southwest, López told Gouda Nian that they used to teach Sucre about the taxes here, but now that it has been occupied by other forces, if they cross forests, swamps and mountains, these people may suffer great losses, and hope that Gouda Nian will be able to let them go all the way along the Jing River to New Chang'an, and then return to Panama by sea, so that they can reach the Spanish colonies in Central America. There was no way, Gao Nian had no choice but to send the Buddha to the West Heaven, arrange some things here, leave some soldiers, let Gao Liang be in charge of the new territory here, and he took López and them back to New Chang'an, planning to send them to Spain's colonies in the Americas when there were ships passing by.

When these things were almost arranged, and several months had passed, Gao Nian, who had returned to New Chang'an, discussed with Qian Shoulian, and let López and them stay for the time being, waiting for the passing merchant ships to transport them away, and the two of them began to open up to the southeast, almost including the northern region of Argentina in the later generations, and they were just a little bit close to having contact with Li Shaoxian's forces, but no one knew about the two sides, fortunately they were not connected, and in case of a collision, they would be injured by mistake.
