At the end of the eighth year of Chengtian, that is, in January 1783 of the Western calendar, China and Britain signed a secret treaty in Jinghai [Andaman Islands], in which Chen Han promised to completely defeat the Spanish army in the next year, and Britain promised that he would continue to fight against France and Spain in the next year.

The British saw another glimmer of hope for a turnaround from the outbreak of the Sino-Spanish War on the west coast of North America.

Their previous battles were terrible.

The victory and defeat were completely reversed in the situation of the war in India.

But the heavens are immortal Great Britain. The outbreak of the Sino-Spanish War lit a bright light on the gloomy future of the British, who gritted their teeth and chose to fight in the new year instead of admitting defeat and losing their colonies in the thirteen states.

Chen Ming asked the Foreign Office to contact the British in the summer, and although the latter was still unwilling to give Chen Han a little extra sweetness, the British did want to reach some kind of alliance with China.

The two sides hit it off.

In the history of the original time and space, in January 1783, London had lost the confidence to win in the North American theater, and the thirteen North American states of the War of Independence could officially declare an armistice. In late January of that year, the United States and Britain signed a comprehensive treaty in Paris.

Just into February, Great Britain declared a ceasefire. The war can almost be said to be over there.

The British traded the interests of North America for a turning point in India, and the Kingdom of Mysore was without the support of France and the Netherlands, and although the new successor Tiep dared to fight, the war ended two years later. Great Britain survived the deadliest crisis in its Indian colonial history.

If the current time and space were the same period in normal history, the North American War would have declared victory for the Thirteen States. The new Thirteen states can cheer as citizens of the American nation, and Paris can be filled with light laughter. After the humiliation of the Seven Years' War, the French had once again gained a heartfelt sense of national pride, even though they had spent the last penny of the treasury and owed a huge debt that the government could not solve.

But Chen Ming didn't think that the British really had the slightest chance of winning, they had come to the end of the crossbow, and the French and the Spaniards who accompanied the French into the water were not the same? Where is true stability within the United States?

In later generations of China, many people knew that Washington took the initiative to resign as commander of the Continental Army and return military power, and praised him as the embodiment of the 'spirit of cooking'. But who knew that in March 1783, the Continental Army broke out in a far-reaching Newburgh crisis, which may also be described by the words "Newburgh Rebellion - Military Coup".

At the end of the war, when the preliminary peace documents had been signed, but before they were delivered to the Americas, the Continental Army stationed in Newburgh had an incredible event that had a profound impact on American history. On the occasion of this victory, some military officers responded to the instigation of an anonymous companion and gathered to consider a rebellion against the current government.

The Newburgh Conspiracy is the closest thing to an uprising or coup d'état in the history of the U.S. Army in the pro-temporal plane, exposing the fragility of the relationship between the military and the civilian population in the early days of the country's existence. If, at the critical moment of the birth of the state, the army is freed from civilian control, it will be impossible for future generations to build a national army. March 1783. Behind the Newburgh incident, there is a complex conspiracy that involves not only certain military leaders, but also some congressional leaders. More importantly, it is the people involved who will take responsibility for building the American military in the years to come, and their actions have directly undermined the weak relationship of trust between the military and the people.

Whether the terrible situation of the US military before World War I had the far-reaching impact of the Newburgh incident is really uncertain to outsiders.

At the end of the day, that's power.

It turns out that the allure fruit of power is the most delicious poison in the world.

The difference is only that some people are clearly aware of the harm, and have forged a solid cage for the beast of power; Others are completely controlled by their desires.

Behind the Newburgh Incident was the embarrassing issue of the salaries of American officers and soldiers, which had already erupted in the barracks in the summer and autumn of 1782. The officers had not been paid for months, and more importantly, there was evidence that Congress was going to cancel the promise they had made in 1780 to give the Continental Army officers and men a half-pay pension.

The U.S. Congress didn't really want to lose its word, but at this time, the power and real power of the state were in the hands of the state governments, which denied the payment of pensions early, and in 1782 they repeated the same old tune again, passing the buck and passing the buck, which in itself seriously hurt the feelings of the officers and men of the Continental Army.

Chen Ming, who clearly knew what had happened to this incident, certainly did not think that the Newburgh Incident would continue to break out in March 1783, after all, the plane was different, and the British chose to continue to hold on rather than raise their hands and surrender. The founding fathers of the United States were not so short-sighted. Even if they want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, they need to wait until they cross the river themselves.

Chen Ming only paid attention to the factors confirmed by the historical occurrence of this incident -- the economic tension of the US military personnel and the many internal contradictions.

Therefore, as long as the British continue to hold on, and when Chen Han really defeats the Spaniards, Chen Ming is not sure what kind of changes will occur in the situation on the east coast of North America. It's going to make Americans uncomfortable anyway.

At the same time, the British will not gain more than they lose.

Fighting a war is very expensive.

And Lao Mei is uncomfortable, so Chen Ming is comfortable. The longer the war on the East Coast lasts, the more severe the loss of strength of the warring countries in Europe will be.

When the agreement [not news] was sent to Guangdong Province by sea, and then sent to Chen Ming in Nanjing by speed, the time had reached the beginning of February of the ninth year of Chengtian, and the development of Manzanillo at this time was a new look than that of the previous year.

One by one, Indian villages and tribes submitted to Manzanillo, and a group of "golden-eyed and ambitious" Indian armed forces were formed, and even some Indians who had initially evaded the expeditionary force had to come to Chen Han's side.

Because the situation is stronger than people, the Indians do not have more and better options. If the Indians killed the Peninsulars, you should not expect the colonial authorities to show mercy to the Indians.

They don't say if the Indians of this village did it, all the Indians are the same in their eyes, they will fire guns and guns to raze the small villages to the ground, and then quickly take everything that they have.

Even if it was simply for the sake of looting and harvesting more booty, the Spanish colonial officers in charge of the collection would go on a killing spree against the 'innocent' Indian villages.

Half a month after the arrival of the Indian daimyo in Mexico City, during the New Year in mainland China, the colonial authorities of the Viceroyalty of New Spain were pressured to send troops to eliminate the active Indian mobs.

They opted for cavalry, which, according to covert intelligence sources, was the last formed cavalry unit in Mexico City, consisting of one battalion of cavalry and two battalions of infantry.

If the Indians were not behind the expeditionary force, it would have been possible to eat one Indian army after another if they were pressed by more than 1,000 horses, but the bigwigs in Mexico City seemed to have forgotten about the expeditionary force in Port Manzanillo.

Perhaps they had instructed the commander of the Clearance Army not to provoke Manzanillo, but they could control the Clearance Army, but could they still control Manzanillo's expeditionary force?

With the Indians and local Mexicans as cover, Manzanillo dispatched two battalions of infantry and two teams of cavalry, quietly set up a position on a hillside, and then had an Indian army lure the Spaniards into the bait, eating up one of their battalions in one fell swoop.

[Mexicans refer to the anti-Western native-born whites, mestizos, and also to the Indians living in Mexico.]

Spanish refers to the colonial government, and peninsulars also refer to Spaniards and native whites who tend to Spain, distinguishing between native whites. 】

The first wave of the Clean-up Army suffered heavy losses, and the second-wave of the Clean-up Army was quicker to react. They immediately chose to move their troops from the front, because with the heavy losses of the first wave of the Clearing Army, the armed movement of the Indians within a hundred miles from north to south and east of Manzanillo became even more vigorous.

And I don't know if it was due to the influence of Manzanillo, the Indians in the entire New Spain colony suddenly became restless. In a few places, armed revolts broke out, a premeditated conspiracy, and the ignorant Indians had muskets and a few small cannons in their hands. Then there must be a strong force behind them, and China is obviously a very clear suspect.

The entire colonial area of New Spain is about to burst into flames, and wolf smoke is everywhere.

It really feels like an old hen becomes a duck in the blink of an eye.

Spaniards all over Mexico were nervous. They urgently needed to suppress the wave of Indian rebellion.

According to the Western calendar, it was already the middle of March 1783, and the Spaniards, who had caught fire in their backyards, were forced to requisition troops from the front line and turn back to their places.

Chen Han's overall pressure is slowly decreasing.

Time entered the end of February of the ninth year of Chengtian, and the North American war report two or three months ago was finally sent to Chen Ming's hand again. Whether it was a frontal battlefield or a flank battlefield, no major war broke out.

After a few months of back and forth, now with rockets in both hands, I can't move anymore.

Chen Ming also doesn't pay attention to this, he pays more attention to the development of Manzanillo, and pays more attention to the cultivation of 'American dogs'.

“…… The Spaniards' retaliation methods were very cruel and fierce, they did not say whether there were resistance forces in the Indian villages and ethnic groups in front of them, but blindly burned, killed and looted, and the cruel reality forced the Indians to bow down to us.

Muskets, medicines, sabers, and iron arrows were the most common items exchanged by the Indians, and whenever the Indians voluntarily submitted, the expeditionary force would symbolically give them a little musket and iron arrowhead as a reward. In order to increase the enthusiasm of the Indians, the expeditionary force also made it clear to them that they could do their best to contact their relatives and friends, and persuade them to move to Manzanillo, where the land was fertile, the rainfall was abundant, and the expeditionary force gave them shelter, and they could start a new life with great happiness.

For each of these Indians, the expeditionary force rewarded them with one Chinese dollar, or they could exchange the money for the corresponding living materials.

Hundreds of thousands of people lived around Manzanillo, and the state of Colima, where it is located, is the smallest state in Mexico, but it is located in the coastal plain at the foot of the Sierra Madre, bordering the Pacific Ocean to the west, with a warm and humid climate all year round, rich vegetation, and developed agriculture. It is also the most important and busiest port in Mexico.

Even if all the Indians within a radius of 100 miles poured here, it would be completely accommodating.

And with the number of Indians in Mexico at this time, even if all the Indians in the surrounding area poured into Manzanillo, the expeditionary force would not be able to spend a few dollars. On the contrary, when this labor is used wisely, it can be of great benefit to development projects throughout the East Coast of North America.

Now, the expeditionary force has begun to send some Indians to Tokyo and Hanjin.

The life of the Indians was really hard, these villages and tribes had long been overwhelmed by the heavy taxes, and when they came to Manzanillo, they may have been terrified and apprehensive, but they still came here.

Because what happened to them, no matter how bad it was, was just as it was before.

But by Manzanillo they were at least able to eat.

Although the primary target of the Indian forces was not food, many of the plantations and estates they broke up had grain depots, and gold, silver, treasure, and horses were very easy to transfer, so food was not necessary.

As plantation owners and plantation owners fled to Mexico City, they took with them all the wealth they could, leaving large quantities of corn, potatoes, sorghum, and wheat in their warehouses, including avocados hanging from large orchards.

When the Indians couldn't find anything more valuable, they had to focus on food and fruits, so don't look at the population of Manzanillo is constantly growing, but Manzanillo's food is not only enough for their own consumption, but also can be transported back to the north by boat.

And once these people settle down, there is no doubt that they will create great wealth for the expeditionary force every year.

The mineral development, fishery resources, and agricultural resources of the Americas can also be used to form an eastward militia to conquer more North American Indians, and the expeditionary force does not want them to become a superior source of soldiers, as long as these Indians can defeat the Indians in North America, it can greatly accelerate the pace of Chen Han's eastward conquest.

The price that the expeditionary force had to pay was only a little bit of worthless land, and the treatment of these Indians could not be compared with that of the Chinese immigrants, but no matter how harsh it was, it was not as harsh as the Spaniards, and then the 'fair' taxes were enough to make them obediently obey.

Compared with the original standard of living of these Indians, after arriving in North America, even if they were all thrown into the plantations to work as agricultural workers, they would also win the heartfelt gratitude and gratitude of these Indians.

Such a request was easy for the expeditionary force. There is so much land on the East Coast that I don't know that it won't be until the Year of the Monkey to fill the area. Now, with such a small amount of interest, if it can be exchanged for 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of Indians, it will not be a good deal.

It's a big deal that he will turn his face and disown people in the future, and completely split these Indians.

If a nation wants to maintain its own cultural heritage, it needs the power of clusters, if it is a single family, it is better to wash and sleep as soon as possible. No matter how stubborn the family is, after two or three generations, it will completely merge with society.

The second, third, and fourth generations of Chinese in foreign countries are ...... a good example, and Indians are also yellow-skinned, although there are certain differences in physiognomy with Chinese, but it is certainly easier to integrate into a society where Chinese are the mainstream than Chinese to integrate into a society dominated by whites.

Although Chen Ming has not yet made a conclusion about the fate of the Indians, he still agrees with this plan of the expeditionary force.

The expeditionary force also delivered bad news to Chen Ming.

The first destroyer to be sunk in Chen's fleet appeared, and just five days before the telegram was sent, a light flying shear warship cruising in Jiazhou Bay was sent to the bottom of the sea with four heavy rockets by a Spanish ship disguised as a smuggling ship.

Only three of the hundreds of sailors on the ship were saved!

The fleet of the naval division of the Chen Han Expeditionary Force suffered one of the most painful blows.

Of the hundreds of experienced officers and soldiers of the Navy, only three survived......
