Twenty-five days after Peru's independence, the Revolutionary Army led by Garland, the leader of the National Revolutionary Party of New Granada, defeated the Spanish colonial army in the Battle of Bogotá. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Later, Garland proclaimed the establishment of the Republic of Colombia, which covered Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador in another plane, and Panama, which originally belonged to New Granada, was actually controlled by the Tang Army and incorporated into the District of Mexico, becoming part of the territory of the Tang Republic.

After the establishment of the Republic of Colombia, the system was almost identical to that of Peru, with the National Revolutionary Party leading the entire country, implementing a Datang-style democratic system, and at the same time passing the "Internationalist Fraternal Countries Mutual Assistance Act" similar to Peru.

The last to gain independence was the Republic of La Plata, where the Buenos Aires Uprising, instigated by the Tang and the local National Revolutionary Party, broke out on New Year's Day 1789, and then the storm of revolution swept through the region, and after five months of struggle, the revolutionary army basically wiped out the Spanish colonial army. In La Plata, there were also a large number of native-born white colonial government officials who surrendered to the revolutionary army, including the father of San Martín, another hero of the liberation of South America. In five months, the Revolutionary Army took control of large swathes of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia, making La Plata the largest country in South America, excluding the colonial Brazil.

At this point, Spain completely lost all its colonies in the Americas, the original huge colonial empire, or under the occupation of the Tang Army, it became the territory of the Tang Republic; Or with the support and prodding of the Tang people. One by one, they gained independence from Spanish colonial rule.

King Carlos IV of Spain had hoped to send troops to the Americas to save his colonial empire, but this was completely impossible. Because in April 1789, the Tang Atlantic Fleet sent a fleet of five warships across the Atlantic Ocean and arrived on the coast of the Iberian Peninsula. The blockade of Spanish ports not only prevented the Spaniards from sending troops to the Americas, but also attacked Spanish merchant ships, severely dealing a blow to Spanish trade and economy.

In order to break this situation, the Spaniards organized their own main fleet, as many as twenty-two steam ironclads, which collided with three cruisers and two frigates of the Pacific Fleet of the Datang Navy in the Gulf of Cádiz.

In this naval battle, which seemed to be relatively disparity in numbers, the Atlantic Fleet of the Datang Navy showed extremely high combat capability. From the very beginning, he very bravely took advantage of the advantage of speed and penetrated the formation of the Spanish Navy, preventing the convergence of the Spanish fleets in both directions. At the same time, the ships of the Tang Navy, which had amazing firepower, used naval guns to teach their Spanish counterparts how to behave. Throughout the naval battle, the Don Atlantic Fleet displayed an unparalleled naval combat art, repeatedly capturing fighters, cutting in and out, and taking advantage of favorable positions to concentrate fire on Spanish ships.

Of course, there are still many people who believe that the key factor for the Tang Navy to win more with less is that its equipment advantage is still too great compared with the Spanish Navy. In particular, the Dingyuan-class heavy cruiser Laiyuan, which served as the flagship. Twenty knots of speed can pick and choose her enemies at will on the sea, and no one can keep up with her. Ultimately. The Laiyuan sank as many as nine Spanish ships, including the flagship of the Spanish fleet.

Several treasure ships sold by Datang to Spain were also sunk in this battle. This is undoubtedly a somewhat regrettable thing, when it fought for the Datang Navy, the Yangwei, which had achieved brilliant results, was finally sunk by the Datang Navy. In his relatively short life, he experienced going to the West with Zheng He, traveling, fighting for the Tang Dynasty, fighting for Spain, and finally being sunk by his old club, which can be described as extremely dreamy. And the stories of these warships are gradually sealed with memory.

After the Battle of the Gulf of Cádiz, the Spanish Navy still had its strength to spare. But even if you kill it, you will not dare to take out the fleet and fight with the Tang fleet. Moreover, the Datang Navy, which has experienced high-intensity battles, has no intention of retreating, and even increased its troops soon after, increasing the number of warships in the Spanish coastal waters to 7, coupled with the support of supply ships, so that the Datang Navy can continue to fight in Spanish waters.

Carlos IV, who had already been frightened, sent people to France many times to ask for a meeting with Chu Bai, the ambassador of European affairs of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to stop the state of war with the Tang Dynasty immediately, but Chu Bai still resolutely closed the door until the Republic of La Plata became independent in May and Spain's last stronghold in the Americas was uprooted, and Chu Bai agreed to the request of the Spanish envoy.

Chu Bai did not allow the Spanish envoy to speak more, but directly threw out the armistice conditions of the Tang Dynasty.

First of all, Spain acknowledged that the outbreak of the war was caused by the hostile actions of the Spaniards, and that Spain should bear full responsibility for the war and must apologize to the people of the Tang Republic.

Second, Spain recognized the land occupied by the Tang Dynasty, that is, the land from New Mexico and Louisiana in the north to Panama in the south, as owned by the Tang Dynasty, and did not enjoy any sovereignty over the land and renounce the right to claim it in the future.

After that, Spain paid Datang a war reparation of 24 million Tang yuan.

Originally, among the conditions, there was also a clause that Spain recognized Colombia, Peru and La Plata, but Datang did not think that this was of much significance, because even if Spain did not recognize these three countries, Datang would still use the alliance to protect them, and could still conduct tariff-free free trade and investment from these three countries, and guide their policy direction. And Spain recognized the three independent countries so quickly, and it is very likely that it will use the exchanges to infiltrate the three countries in turn. After all, there are still a large number of native-born white people who have a heart for Spain, and who have been run by Spain for 200 years.

The Spanish envoy was particularly stunned, even extremely angry, but also relieved and relieved. Because the Dons are finally willing to stop this terrible war. Spain lost its colonies in the Philippines and the Americas, and although it was definitely devastating, at least the mainland was unscathed. But if the Tang fleet is allowed to blockade their shores again, then Spain itself will be in crisis, and the throne of Carlos IV will be shaken. (To be continued.) )
