At the end of the twenty-fourth year of Chengtian, in December 1798 of the Western calendar, the port of Valparaiso in central Chile [the largest seaport in Chile and the largest port on the Pacific coast of South America. Founded in 1536, it is the maritime gateway to Santiago, the seat of the Chilean Governorate, outside the city, and there is a lot of artillery fire.

Thousands of soldiers of the Chinese American garrison lined up in the harbor outside the city, neatly dressed in blue-green military uniforms, shiny rifles and bayonets, and dozens of hexagonal cannons lined up, all of which told people that this was a well-equipped and well-trained unit.

The war in the Americas has been going on for a long time. The Spaniards have lost back-to-back battles and losses, and the two sides are now sitting at the same negotiating table. But how to negotiate and how much the Spaniards were going to spit out is not yet decided.

Negotiations with each other have been going on for more than a month.

The garrison felt that it was necessary to put new pressure on the Spaniards.

However, since the spring of this year, the garrison has been fighting in the Pacific coast of South America for more than half a year with the cooperation of the American Fleet, and there is a large number of Indian 'servants' on hand. The Mapuche people of Chile are quite famous. Now they are clamoring to learn from the Uruguayans in south-central Chile and southwestern Argentina.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of Indians from the Pacific coast of South America 'boarded' the ships of the garrison, and they were either transported back to North America by the garrison or raised a rebellion against the Spaniards in South America.

At present, there are no less than 30 battalions of the 'servant army' attached to the garrison, and although many of the battalions have only 2 or 300 people, the total strength is nearly 10,000.

In many sabotage battles along the Pacific Ocean, these servant armies are the main force.

The garrison army or the vassal army, the dispatch army, or the militia only need to press them down. The latter is more to send some artillery that has to be used as sharpshooters to suppress the fire of the servant army, and there is basically nothing left for the Chinese.

After such a long battle, although the organizational basis of the servant army is based on battalions, there are already three higher-level formed wings above the battalion, the largest is the West Peru Wing currently led by Amaru, with four battalions under its command, totaling 1,500 men; The second was the East Peru Wing led by Juan from Eastern Peru [Bolivia], composed of Ayimara Indians, with three battalions and more than 1,000 troops; Finally, the Northwest Wing, led by Borja from Ecuador, was composed of Chukya Indians, which also had three battalions, but less than 900 men.

The last appeal here is Amaru, who calls himself 'Tupac Amaru III' and continues his father's legacy to try to re-establish an independent Peruvian state.

Of course, Chen Han did not allow independent Peru to appear, but now they are still allies. This time, Chen Han couldn't swallow Peru. So Amaru is still on the same front.

Amaru's father, Condolkanqui, a descendant of the last Inca king, Tupac Amaru I, was the chieftain of the three tribes of Pampalca, Tongasuka and Sulimana, and launched a massive uprising in Peru 18 years ago, with a total of more than 50,000 rebels. However, the Spanish colonial authorities took advantage of the contradictions between the Indian tribes and instigated some local Indian chiefs to lead their troops to cooperate with the city's defense forces to fight against the rebels, which won them precious time to mobilize heavy troops.

After Condolcanqui's death, his younger brother, Amaru's uncle Diego, continued to lead the rebels in the name of Tupac Amaru II, and received a response from the Indian uprisings in La Paz and Oruro (present-day northern Peru), but ultimately failed.

Although Condolkanji and Diego are dead, Amaru is alive, and the sign of Amaru is bright. 'Tupac Amaru' became a popular name among the Indian tribes of the Peruvian region. Now Amaru has risen to the garrison and assumed the name of Tupac Amaru III, winning himself the support of many Indian tribes in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru, especially in Western Peru.

Of course, Amaru has been incognito for more than ten years, and without his father's foundation - the chief of the three tribes, Amaru's appeal is very empty. And he is so 'brilliant', in essence, he himself has unknowingly become a thorn in the side of the Chinese.

What is the purpose of China's repeated wars in the Americas?

It is not to be Lei Feng and seek the freedom and independence of the Indian people. Rather, they want to seize these lands and expand their territory for the Chinese and their descendants.

Servants leaders like Amaru with a strong 'freedom' spirit are also Chen Han's enemies in a sense.

It's just that in this war, no matter how much Chen Han opens his mouth, it is impossible for him to bite Peru. So Amaru still has a high value.

Now Chen Han is thinking about letting Amaru bring people back to Peru. Maybe he can really take advantage of the Spaniard's vitality to make his wish come true.

The co-captains of the three servant armies, they are all seeds of the future. This time, the garrison army went south to the central part of Chile, and the army with it did not have the three wings, and these battalion-level servant troops were the real servant troops. Many of the 'Amaru Younger' have died 'naturally' in previous battles.

The port of Valparaiso was a major Spanish military presence in central Chile and the maritime gateway to Santiago, the capital of Peru. But the 'history' of this military town is very short, because it was born after the First Sino-American War.

Previously it was just a small port with very few houses and churches. At the same time, the port was only open to Spanish and colonial vessels.

However, during the First Sino-Western War, China passed through here and drove its raiding forces straight into San Diego, which can be said to have seriously shaken the prestige of the Spaniards there.

Now, however, the task of the garrison is no longer simply to conquer Santiago, but to occupy Santiago in the true sense of the word, to occupy the northern half of Chile, especially the Tarapacá region. The saltpeter there was so important for China's military buildup in the Americas.

It's not that hard.

At this time, the location of Chile is a bit remote, and the west coast of the Americas is not a place with a developed civilization. While guano and saltpeter are of great interest to the whole world, you can't get the best stuff out of it.

The Spaniards don't pay much attention to the Tarrapaca Desert, their territory is too big, and there are too many places to scavenge for profit. But the Chinese attach great importance to it.

As a high-quality organic fertilizer, guano is very helpful to the development of agriculture; The latter is an important raw material used by arsenals to make gunpowder and has extremely high strategic value.

At the same time, Spain no longer has a naval fleet off the Pacific coast of South America, and the communication link between Chile and Peru can be said to have been effectively broken. Because few people can cross the Andean Mountains with no passes, and no one can cross the driest desert in the world, Chile is now like a small island, cut from the vast South American continent, and has become a delicious meal on the lips of Chinese.

Now that China is occupying half of Chile, it is not only to put pressure on the Spaniards at the negotiating table, but also to create an established fact.

Who made the Spaniards show too red fruit. Most of the Chilean army was transferred to Peru by ship early. When China swallowed the whole of Mexico and the Isthmus of Central America, and then looked at the map of South America, the eyes of the generals with troops were on Peru.

In the past two or three years, Chen Han's American Fleet has regarded this territory as the same territory as 'home' territory.

In the past, the American Fleet brought back from Peru shiploads of saltpeter, grain, meat, copper nuggets, gold and silver, with little hindrance.

During the colonial period, Chile's economy was dominated by agriculture, producing wheat and corn, and animal husbandry also played an important role. The Spanish colonists seized large tracts of land, imposed a system of trusteeship, and forced the Indians to work in agriculture or to mine precious metals. They used various means to loot wealth and inflict serious disasters on the local people.

After most of the colonial army had been drained, the Spaniards were well aware of how weak their local dominance was. They would not go too far against the wishes of the locals, and naturally they would not prevent the locals from making close deals with Chen Han - the Wehrmacht's sabotage war was the best cover for such a deal, and they only hoped that they would collect a little tax.

But now Chen Han is completely uplifting the table.

The army swept through the north-central part of Chile, leaving the southern region for the Mapuche people. Let them muster up their spirits so that they can fight the Spaniards in Argentina.

While vigorously supporting the Mapuche weapons, Chen Han also constantly harassed the south-central coastal areas of Chile and constantly destroyed the order of Spanish colonial rule. Good opportunities were created for the Mapuche people.

After largely clearing the area of the area as a formed Spanish military force, the Mapuqi forces quickly took over the area, where they carried out a harsh policy of persecution of white settlers, and even the mestizos were attacked by them. The large number of Mapuqi people who 'turned into serfs and sang' were revenge and revenge, and the Spanish descendants who settled in the local area fell directly into the catastrophe of annihilation, and the local social order was naturally chaotic, and the colonial order of the Spaniards had almost completely collapsed.

These are things that Chen Han doesn't need to care about.

Those Spaniards, even if the garrison saved them, they would not get the true gratitude of these people, because it was the garrison that pushed them into the abyss. Then let them experience the wrath of the Indians.

Seriously, in Peru, in Ecuador, in Colombia, the native whites or European immigrants hate the servant army more than the garrison. China's regular army is still relatively 'civilized', but the servant army is like locusts, gnawing at everything.

In particular, there are several Chinese who support the servant army, and most of those Chinese are clan armies or militiamen.

Those people not only robbed things, but also killed people and set fires, and even fornicated women, taking the pain of white people as their greatest pleasure.

But no one is a fool, and everyone knows who is behind these Indians.

The hatred of the native-born whites and the European immigrants is definitely not the difference between the small book and the puppet army, but the tiger and the lion.

Of course, one of the main reasons why the upper echelons of the garrison acquiesced to the servant army doing this was also because it could squeeze the fruits of the Spanish colonization of the Americas for more than 200 years to a great extent.

I heard that the emperor still allowed this.
