In his eyes, the greatest enemy of the American continent is never the forks of the natives or the artillery fire of the Spaniards, but the various diseases that come from all over the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The doctors were really helpless, even if there were medicines and techniques, but suddenly there were more than 30,000 troops, and no amount of medicine was enough, so they had to collect earthwork along the way, and give priority to the sergeants with fever, itching, and diarrhea, and if necessary, they would be isolated or even repatriated.

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly half a month since Huiwangfu set foot on the American continent, and the villages along the way have gradually lost their instinctive resistance and gradually blended together. Even when I heard that the Huiwangfu was crusading against Spain, there were also natives who came to vote, and under the march, the Mexicans gathered together formed a team of more than 100 people. According to them, most of their ancestors were of a certain tribe and were later massacred by the Spaniards, as well as those who claimed to be descendants of the Aztecs.

On the 23rd of June, the army finally saw the city of Cuernavaca, in front of which Acapulco was a fishing village and Chilpancingo was a rural-urban junction, the only city that had landed in the Americas in the truest sense of the word.

The white Western-style cottages, the tall bells, and the ornate cross on top of the church all indicate that this is an important town in southern Mexico.

After all this time, the Spaniards finally had a clear reaction.

With the Viceroy of New Spain in charge and Mexico City moving south, they apparently wanted the war to be resolved in Cuernavaca and to protect the integrity of Mexico City.

It's going to be an uphill battle.

When the Huiwang Mansion arrived in the south of the city, it was late, so he set up camp and set up camp early the next morning.

As dinner approached, a pair of sergeants and cooks came out of the city, set up tents in the open space between the two armies, lit candles, and arranged tables for cooking. An envoy came, and the governor invited the commanders to dinner.

To go or not to go? What to do if there is poison in rice? Is it okay to coward?

Go, of course.

So Yang Changfan gathered three hundred elite soldiers, took the guys, stepped on the horse, and walked towards the set table.

Where had the governor ever encountered such a thing, and when he saw this, he crawled back to the city, and several slow-legged cooks were unfortunately arrested. But in fact, the Huiwang Mansion did not arrest them, but asked them to do what they should do, Yang Changfan and the others really sat at the long table and ate.

Soon, the governor felt that something was wrong, and he also summoned a hundred musket teams to come, and my food could not be eaten for you in vain.

So at the dinner table, the two sides began a confrontation.

The governor was the first to send the message, but he only wanted to make the best of the landlord's friendship and talk before the war.

Yang Changfan replied, we are just here to try to see if there is any poison in the food.

The governor replied, then let your cook cook your dishes, let's eat our own food, just sit at the same table, why send troops.

There is some truth to that.

The Huiwang Mansion transferred two cooks, borrowed the pot to open the stove, and the sergeants retreated one by one, leaving only Yang Changfan and Brother Di.

The Governor also ordered the sergeants to be on standby, and the interpreters came on their own.

On both sides of the long table, both sides sat down, and only then did they see who the enemy was.

Needless to say, Yang Changfan, a square-faced man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, is dressed in a dark navy uniform with high shoulders and a dazzling array of epaulettes and badges, which looks like a modern soldier.

Francisco, the governor of New Spain, was a standard aristocrat, with the same neat hair and beard, a high-necked shirt, a tight-fitting aristocratic jacket, and his eyes were quite majestic and uninhibited, but he had to restrain himself a little in the face of Yang Changfan.

Yang Changfan drank a little wine lightly and took the lead in speaking: "Have you received the letter?" ”

Francisco raised his glass and replied, "Roger." This is the most rude letter I have ever seen. ”

After the two clinked glasses in the air, Yang Changfan immediately sneered at each other: "Then you have etiquette for attacking our caravan?" ”

"Your country has not been granted a trade permit and has remained indifferent despite our warnings, which is a last resort."

"The world is so big, everyone can enjoy it, do I need your permission to trade with Chinese?"

Francisco listened to this translation and thought for a long time, presumably it was a bit difficult to translate "all the adults of the world enjoy it", and after a while he replied: "Let's discuss some practical issues, we cannot accept the conditions you put forward in your letter." ”

"It's okay, let's solve it with war."

"That's not how the negotiations went, Mr. Yang."

"Isn't that so? Isn't that how you negotiated with the Indians? ”

Francisco's expression became more and more gloomy after hearing the translation: "If Mr. Yang is still so rude, war will be inevitable." ”

"I'm just asking for equal trade and land you haven't set foot in."

"We have already established a province in California, and your demands are no different from aggression."

"That's right, before we came, we also set up a province, which should be called New Jiangsu."

“……”

"As far as I know, you are only planning a new province, but you have not invested in any construction, and our request is definitely not an invasion. In addition, trade on an equal footing is beneficial to both of us, and if you insist on opposing your interests, then the result will be only war. ”

"Does Mr. Yang really think he can hit Mexico City? Your army is huge, but the lands of the Americas are far from being ruled by tens of thousands of people. ”

"Don't you understand, Governor?" Yang Changfan laughed and said, "I never wanted to rule Mexico City, just to defeat you. ”

“……”

"I can state my strategy bluntly, after the capture of Mexico City, I will burn and slaughter the city, obliterating your most important stronghold in Central America. Then I will return to the port and head for South America to occupy your silver source in Peru. ”

Francisco's face continued to twitch as he listened to this translation, and after a long time, he held back a sentence: "Do you think the Viceroyalty of Peru will be as vulnerable as Acapulco?" ”

"Then it depends on which of us is more accurate in judging their own strength. I chose to come to Mexico first to fight a frontal war, which is already a very upright style. The Viceroy might wish to imagine if my fleet and soldiers had rushed directly into Peru, would the so-called Viceroyalty of Peru still exist? ”

"......" Francisco finally put down his glass and wiped his mouth, "I see, let's stop talking." ”

"You can see that the Mexican soldiers are here." Yang Changfan also wiped his mouth, "We will attack at dawn tomorrow, if you change your mind, please let me know before then." ”

For a long night, the sergeants of the Huiwangfu were on duty at night, and the three teams of sergeants patrolled the sentry all night, killing all opportunities for night attacks. (To be continued.) )
