484 Surrendered
In Mexico City, there is a particularly strange scene, where the rebel citizens led by Ilgodo storm and occupy the city, while Flores gathers the city's armed forces and lays down his arms. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Xu Daorun learned that Flores was preparing to surrender, he asked Flores to lead the Spanish soldiers who had laid down their arms to go out of the city to surrender to the Tang army and accept the disposal of the Tang army. Flores originally wanted to ask the Tang people for some favorable conditions, but Xu Daorun clearly told him that the Tang army would not accept any negotiation conditions, and Xu Daorun would not conduct any negotiations, and the Spaniards would simply surrender if they wanted to surrender, and if they didn't want to surrender, then he would immediately launch an attack on Mexico City, and the outcome would be no different for the Tang people.
This kind of toughness made Flores think that Xu Daorun really had the idea of using poison gas weapons again, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately led a large group of Spanish soldiers who had laid down their weapons out of the city to surrender.
In order to show some respect for the Spaniards, Xu Daorun and several major surrendered generals still chose to wear military uniforms. The straight lieutenant general's dress, his age of more than forty years, and his standard aura of a tough and handsome man are indeed impressive. And when the aura of the victor surrounded him, Flores and a group of Spanish officers couldn't help but be cautious and in awe when they saw this Tang military commander.
Flores saluted Seo, who stood there for a few seconds before returning the salute to Flores. This is the posture of the winner, and the pride is justified.
"Your Excellency, I am the Viceroy of New Spain in the Kingdom of Spain and the Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Army. I hereby surrender to you and your army. It is hoped that the dignity and security of our army will be preserved. "Flores is actually completely free at the moment. It's even full of lightness, and there's no shame at all.
Xu Daorun nodded, accepted the surrender letter presented by Flores, and said: "We express our appreciation for your will and courage to fight bravely, your decision is wise, Your Excellency the Governor and your troops will be properly settled, I hope that the war can end as soon as possible." Then you can make your way home. ”
A Spanish officer next to him didn't hold back and said, "But I was born and raised in Mexico City, and Mexico is my home, will you return Mexico City to Spain after that?" ”
Xu Daorun originally disdained to answer such a question, but it could be seen that the officer's emotions were a little excited, and he was still very distressed that his hometown had fallen into the hands of others, and he looked at this Mexican. "As soldiers, we are only responsible for combat. As for how these lands will belong in the future, it will naturally be decided by the high-level leaders of our country. However, I can naturally tell you that the land occupied by our Datang has never spit out an inch. ”
It was a desperate statement, but there was nothing the Mexican officer could do, and his colleagues on the left and right pulled him a few times to tell him not to say anything more.
Flores continued: "I think that in Mexico City, or in New Spain in general, there are people who do not want to switch their allegiances, who are loyal to the Spanish crown, who are the lambs of God, who do not want to be a Don. It is hoped that His Excellency the General will be merciful so that these people, loyal to Spain, will be free to leave Mexico and go to other Spanish territories. ”
When Xu Daorun heard this, he couldn't help but sarcastically in his heart, these Spaniards still thought that they could continue to keep other colonies except Mexico, but they didn't know that the First International of the Tang Dynasty had already instigated the forces of the National Revolutionary Party throughout the Americas and began to carry out large and small revolutionary uprisings in the Spanish colonies. For example, the Peruvian National Revolutionary Party, which has been fighting guerrilla warfare for many years, and Amaru II obtained a batch of weapons and equipment funded by the Tang Dynasty after the Tang Army launched the war against Spain, including a large number of S1 bolt-action rifles that had been retired by the Tang Army, and even a large number of mortars, and even some heavy machine guns. Over the years, the Peruvian National Revolutionary Party itself has grown to tens of thousands of guerrillas and hundreds of thousands of supporters. After a large number of weapons came into their hands, Amaru II, with the help of the Tang military advisers, led the Peruvian rebel army, conquered many important cities in Peru one after another, and aimed directly at the core of Peruvian colonial rule, the capital Lima. Over the years, Amaru II's guerrillas had taken control of many of Peru's mountainous jungles, and their rise to power led to a significant expansion of the areas under their control.
Not only Peru, but also in other Spanish colonies in South America, the rebels have achieved varying degrees, and Spanish colonial rule is already shaky. So it is highly likely that even if these Mexicans tried to flee to other Spanish American colonies, they would not be able to find a piece of land that Spain belonged to.
Xu Daorun then sent representatives of the Mexican National Revolutionary Party to Mexico City to inform the secretary of the National Revolutionary Party, Ilgodo, and demanded that Ilgodo stop the uprising and completely transfer control of Mexico City to the Tang Army. Speaking of Ilgodo, the leader of the revolution, he is actually somewhat ambitious. Although he accepted the ideas of internationalism and studied in Datang for a year, the degree of loyalty to Datang was still relatively limited.
After becoming the leader of the National Revolutionary Party of Mexico, he also felt the sweetness of power. Being able to use the funds from Datang's support, mobilize various resources within the party, and mobilize the power of the local people to carry out activities made him wonder what it would be like if he became the master of the country in Mexico. But in the end, these can only be imagined, when he was studying in the Tang Dynasty, Ilgodor understood very well that the Tang people were just using the glamorous banner of internationalism to control the whole of America. And as the leader of the Mexican National Revolutionary Party, he is actually a tool for Datang to incite incidents in Mexico. And if he has his own abacus and contradicts the abacus of the Tang people, then the last unlucky person is himself.
Most of Ilgodo's relatives have already been sent to the Tang Dynasty, and if he refuses Xu Daorun's request at this time, then in the blink of an eye, the Tang Army can beat him into a puddle of meat sauce, or those other high-ranking party members who are eyeing his position as secretary will be happy to tear him off and then make a pug that wags his tail for the Tang people.
So these thoughts only passed through his mind, and Ilgodor did not hesitate, and immediately asked his subordinates to welcome the Tang army into the city. (To be continued.) )
