The connector was indeed hidden in the sailors.

An inconspicuous person, five big and three thick, with an honest face, no matter how you look at it, he looks like an old sailor who runs the sea route.

smiled and handed Wang Sheng a cigarette.

"Do you have anything to say with you?"

"Just bring a message. The other party agreed, but asked for three million silver dollars. I don't recommend it to them, they can't be trusted! This must have brought Niu Ba, do you know it? ”

The sailor nodded, he was indeed sent by a young man surnamed Zhu.

"On the fifth day of the next month, the money will arrive with the bullets."

"Did you do the Lord?"

Wang Sheng was puzzled.

The person who came stretched out his hand: "Meet me, my name is Zhu Yong." ”

Wang Sheng stretched out his hand and held it: "Another one surnamed Zhu!" ”

Zhu Yong sighed: "This Zhu is not Bi Zhu. ”

Of course, Wang Sheng knew that he had touched the calluses in the palm of the other party's hand, and this was not a rich man. But he knew that the person in front of him was probably Bizhu's henchman, otherwise it would be impossible to be the master of millions of silver.

"See you next time!"

After shaking hands, Wang Sheng gave up his hand.

Zhu Yong shook his head: "I'll go with you, and I'll meet the Mountain King for a while." ”

Wang Sheng said: "I can't do it, but if you insist, I'll talk to them." ”

The other party agreed, there is no reason not to agree, the Chinese's bullets have not yet arrived, and it is more reassuring to have one more hostage in hand. As for the purpose of the other party, it is just to see the investment reported.

Zhu Yong met Hu Yarez and also talked to the other party once.

I don't know what was said, but Juarez decided not to wait for the next batch of arms to arrive and start an uprising first.

Wang Sheng saw that Hu Yarez's army began to assemble, the number was beyond his expectations, he thought that this was a mountain king who robbed his house, but he didn't want to quietly, the other party had recruited troops and horses to create an army of 10,000 people. Although there is no unified military uniform, and the training is not perfect, but by pulling up this person, you will have the capital to succeed.

Wang Sheng was very curious about how the other party was going to start an uprising, because of the situation in Oaxaca, Carlos stationed a force of 3,000 men in the city of Oaxaca, which was not something that Juarez could deal with.

A few days later, Wang Sheng saw that Huarez had been training the army, which he recognized, and he had to train well, otherwise these soldiers would not be able to fight at all. If you follow Wang Sheng's idea, not only should you train strictly, but it is best to wait for the arms to be in place and learn to use new weapons, and then it will be a good time.

After training for about half a month, Juarez attacked, Wang Sheng lamented that the other party was too reckless, but the result was a big surprise, Huarez drove into Oaxaca City so easily. The defenders of Oaxaca surrendered, and he went straight to take over.

Juárez had already infiltrated the defenders of Oaxaca, otherwise he would not have been able to stay in the mountains in peace. But he didn't expect the infiltration to be so powerful, and when he decided to revolt, the Indian officers and soldiers in Oaxaca purged the top of the army, the native white general, and then cheered to welcome Juarez into the city.

Three days after the Oaxaca uprising, the second batch of munitions arrived. Based in Oaxaca, Juárez continued to train his army as soon as possible, and by this time his troops had been equipped with new weapons, and with the allegiance of a large number of regular officers and the support of the Indians in and around the city, the army soon grew to 20,000 men.

At this time, Juarez really had the capital to compete with the Carlos family, because due to financial conditions, Carlos's army has been small, never more than 50,000 people, distributed between northern Mexico and north of Panama, Mexico at this time, much larger than later Mexico, extending to the south of the Panama Canal thirty miles north, thirty miles on each side of the canal, is the territory claimed by the American Company.

Juárez is a lawyer and has experience in politics, albeit not as experienced, but he has some common sense. He was no ordinary mountain king, and after capturing Oaxaca, in addition to training his army, he immediately set about forming a political power. The establishment of the Provisional Government of Mexico was announced, the Carlos regime was declared illegal, and a new regime was called for the establishment of a Mexican Mexican, with native whites, Indo-European mestizos, and Indians equal.

Men were sent to nearby cities to demand allegiance to the new regime, and consuls were contacted to demand that they recognize the new regime.

This was impossible, but it made his own political voice, and in this respect, Juarez, a lawyer-turned-lawyer, had a higher level of political experience than the people of the Paris Commune.

Carlos quickly mobilized his army to suppress it, and his army was very scattered, especially in the south, where the rainforests of Guatemala were dense and the Indian Maya ethnic group was in a backward social state, and they were always restless and often rebelled. There were more than 10,000 troops stationed there, totaling 20,000 in the entire south of Oaxaca, both of which could be used to suppress the rebellion.

At the same time, the Mexican army from the north went south, but the number was limited, only 10,000 men, which was all the troops that Carlos could draw, and in the majority, the capital would not be safe.

20,000 in the south, 10,000 in the north, and north and south.

Juarez chose to attack all the way and go straight to the north, he wanted to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, as long as he took Mexico City, he could force other cities down. He didn't need to purge the native-born white, mestizo race, he just wanted to bring down the Carlos regime, he wanted to build a Mexican Mexico, and this idea was already very strong among Mexicans, not only among the Indian elite, but also among the native-born white and mestizo races, and the people who were disgusted with Carlos's poisonous rule were all over the world.

Juarez almost empty, went north to meet Carlos Northern Army, after a scuffle, the two sides had each other's casualties, Juarez has a strength advantage, Carlos Army is better trained, equipped with two sides half a pound and eight taels, Juarez is equipped with a Dreiser needle rifle, this kind of rear-loading rifle, after the Austro-Prussian War, many countries have imitated, it is difficult to trace the source, the power is weaker than the front-loading gun, but the speed has an advantage. Carlos's regular army, relying on the advantage of range, inflicted great damage on the Juárez army with front-loading rifled guns, and the Juárez army relied on the numerical superiority to pull back a game in the second half and repel Carlos's army.

As long as you don't lose, you win, and that's the advantage of the rebels.

As soon as the Carlos army retreated, it could not hold back, and a large number of troops surrendered directly to Juarez.

At this point, Carlos turned to China for help, as has happened many times in the past, thinking that the Chinese would definitely help him, and he was ready to give them the benefit of a large number of privileges, including the recent discovery of Karima iron ore. Carlos decided to pay more this time, because he needed more support, and he needed direct Chinese troops, because his army had become unreliable, and after so many years of struggle for royal power, he had lost the hearts of the people. He spent a lot of money to buy the powerful in Spain, hoping to provoke a revolution to expel Isabella and return him to the throne. It's a pity that there was a rebellion in his base.

Acapulco has always been the base of China, under the jurisdiction of the American Company, and there are troops stationed here, not many of them, sometimes three thousand, sometimes only one thousand, but the combat effectiveness is very strong. There is a railway between Acapulco and Mexico City, and as long as China agrees to send troops, it can besiege Mexico City before the rebels arrive.

But this time the Chinese were serious, and their consul said that he could not do anything, and said that because of security problems, the consul would temporarily evacuate Mexico City and would return after the situation stabilized. Carlos then realized that he had really been abandoned. He urgently contacted the British and American consuls, and over the years he traveled between China and the West, both sides wooed him, and Britain and the United States did not invest less resources in him, as long as he agreed not to cooperate with the Chinese, Britain and the United States were willing to support him in ruling the west coast of South America. It's just a pity that Britain and the United States did not support him in accepting the Spanish crown.

Britain and the United States are very interested in Carlos's request for help, Mexico is China's largest puppet regime in the Americas, as long as Carlos is pulled to their side, it will open the gap of Chinese power in the Pacific, so Britain and the United States decided to urgently send troops, their embassy is stationed in a small army, which can help Carlos fight, but the combined armament of the consulates of the two countries is only 500 people, it is unlikely to play a big role, and they can only hope that they can help Carlos support the arrival of the US Navy.

The U.S. Navy has developed well in recent years, their president Millard Fillmore is a naval supporter, Millard is a northerner, but has a compromise attitude towards the South, after the United States bought Florida, the North and the South had a dispute over the issue of slavery in Florida, during the Spanish rule, Florida did not develop slavery, the Spanish government was forced by British pressure, and the slaves were emancipated after the Napoleonic Wars. In order to make Florida a slave state, they urgently sent tens of thousands of slaves here and established slave estates. But the North did not support it, believing that Floridians should be allowed to choose whether to be free or slaved.

Eventually, with Millard's mediation, Congress passed a bill to make Florida a slave state, which would have quickly split the North and South.

Historically, Millard was the president who sent the U.S. Navy to Japan to open the door to Japan. He believes that the United States should have a strong navy to protect its maritime interests, and the North is more supportive, and historically the South has always opposed it, and the South is unwilling to spend money on the navy, because the South has the same interests as Britain, and does not think that they will be violated by the British Navy. The North hopes to escort the export of industrial products and grain from the North of the United States.

But in this history, the North and the South finally reached an agreement on naval issues, and in recent years have supported the expansion of the navy, not only because Millard has the support of the South, but also because the construction of the Panama Canal has made the South feel insecure, so the United States has deployed a very strong navy in the Caribbean, with 21 ironclad ships, which is the most powerful naval force in the region, even the navies of China and Britain here cannot compete with the United States.

The U.S. Navy quickly departed from New Orleans and reached Veracruz in only half a day, from where it was quite possible to intercept the Juarez army.

However, the presence of the U.S. Navy caused a strong protest from China, and a round of North American crises around the political situation in Mexico occurred.
