Chapter 208: Landing in the North and South!

On August 20, 1864, the weather in Mexico was frighteningly hot, but even so, there was a group of people who didn't care at all.

"Woo-la-la! Woo la la! ”

These people are the Indians, and their upper bodies are almost unclothed, and although they are tanned, they are also cool.

"Lieutenant Booth, how much longer will it take to get all the Indians here?" Yang Willy looked at the situation in front of him, and the Indians were riding their horses and jubilant there, somewhat with a headache.

"General Yang, we need at least another week." Booth is now a step up, but he listens more to Willy Yang's words.

"Hey, try to speed it up!" Yang Willy was not very satisfied, but fortunately, the situation in Mexico at this time was very good for the imperial army.

“YES-SIR!” Booth went down to do something.

Yang Willy looked at the sea in the distance, there were only a few ships on it, and these ships were the main warships that transported the Indian army, including Yang Willy's men.

It is indeed very rare, which requires the warship to transport soldiers back and forth many times, and the time is naturally delayed, but fortunately, the situation in Mexico is much better than originally expected!

At this time, the place where Yang Willy was located was called Guaymas, which was a good port, of course, this was from the natural geographical conditions, and the good thing was that when the imperial army arrived, there was no effective resistance in the local area, and it can even be said that this place was similar to the Mexigalle that Yang Willy had captured before.

It's like a borderless land that hasn't been developed yet, and everything seems so primitive, of course. The place is Spanish with you. There are also mixed descendants of them and the Incas. But it's really poorly developed, very poorly.

Judging from the previous general intelligence, the population of Mexico is at least in the millions, but the specific number is not available, and even the empire does not know how many cities there are in Mexico, what the specific terrain is, only some famous places, and that's it.

Let's be honest. From the point of view of war, it is risky to come out and fight with such an intelligence situation, but it is said that the reason why the intelligence is so bad is because there is really not much information to be found!

It sounds speechless, but that's the case, and now, such a situation is just the shortcomings of the empire. That is, the situation of the lack of troop carriers registered this time has been compensated for by the maximum number of passengers. In other words, there is no need to care about this matter at all, anyway, the Mexicans will not attack us, their combat effectiveness is too poor to be vulnerable.

Returning to the issue of intelligence, Yang Willy started to think, as far as he saw now, I am afraid that because the western coast of Mexico has not developed at all, the Spaniards have probably paid attention to this place!

I'm afraid that this is the only reason that can explain the qiē in front of me.

So......

Is His Majesty the Emperor really a man of destiny?!

Otherwise, how can we explain that every capture of His Majesty by the Emperor was so smooth?

Yang Willy couldn't help but fall into deep thought......

At the same time, in Puerto Vallarta, south of Mexico's western coastline, Li Mengyang, the emperor, was actually in the same confusion as Yang Willy.

The landing is too smooth!

There was almost no resistance, and if a few people sprayed twice with powder guns, it would be called resistance.

The west coast of Mexico is not developed at all!

Li Mengyang didn't know the situation of going to DuPont in advance at this time, but thinking about it, I'm afraid that his strategic arrangement is a bit redundant, if the western coastline of Mexico is like this, then ** is useless?

This really can't be helped, because of the situation, terrain, humanities, and all aspects of this area, we know too little about it, and the intelligence is pitiful, and even if it is history, Li Mengyang, a traverser, doesn't know much.

So in this way, could it be that the history of this place is not much in the first place?

Li Mengyang couldn't help but think like this......

"陛xià! It will take us about a week to get all the soldiers over, but the most difficult problem at the moment is that the soldiers are suffering from heat stroke. "General Ocassi came over to report on the situation, followed by a few others such as Foggy Wind Old Road.

"陛xià." Old Fog Wind also spoke, "It's easy to deal with heat stroke, just ask the comrades to prepare more water, but this provision, I'm worried that the water and soil will not adapt." ”

If you don't adapt to the water and soil, you will vomit and diarrhea, and have a fever, which can affect your combat effectiveness, but the current situation is ......

"Comrades, do you think that in the current situation, we miscalculated at the beginning?"

Li Mengyang suddenly said this, which made his subordinates very frightened.

"Your Majesty, it's right that we're careful." That Meng Fanyong is very good at talking, and as a high-ranking official in the army, he was appointed by Li Mengyang at this time to be in charge of political work.

Yes, this is actually equivalent to a political commissar, and the previous revolutionary armies were not equipped with this secret weapon, but now, Li Mengyang feels that it is almost there, and he can try it, mainly to do the ideological work of the soldiers. And Meng Fanyong, he has experience in this area, and he has mobilized Chinese workers before.

But Li Mengyang now looked at the map and said: "I think my previous judgment was too careful, now let's re-analyze." ”

Li Mengyang began to point to the map and said: "Mexico, this big continent, her west is Baja California, and this peninsula just blocks the west coast, that is to say, although this place has a harbor, but it is not of much value." With the urine nature of the Spaniards, their pursuit of wealth is simply all-encompassing. They don't even look at the useless places, so it's normal that they don't develop here. ”

The analysis of "......" should be a projection of the current situation, and all the generals feel that it is nothing, but what Li Mengyang, the emperor, said next is very powerful.

"And now, we know roughly that Mexico's population is in the millions, so if there is no development in the west, there will be a natural population. Then more people must be concentrated in the east. And before we get in touch. That is, more than a year ago. The French attacked Mexico, they must have landed in the east! If we look at the east, there are Veracruz, Merida, these cities are somewhat famous, and in the center, Mexico City, which is the capital. Guanajuato, this is the silver capital, and such a place must have a large population. However, these big cities are now under the control of the French. ”

"What the hell are you going to say?" Ocasi listened to the analysis, and it seemed that it was only for the population.

"It's simple." Li Mengyang suddenly turned colored, "I now order, immediately organize the strength of a division, and be in good physical condition at the moment." And the composition of the troops with a good style, this one division. That is, 3,000 people, on the existing ships, with the fastest speed, straight into Guadalajara! ”

"......" The generals who heard this order were stunned!

Because this is very strange, it is somewhat contradictory to the previous strategic deployment, you know, the army led by the emperor himself is now also facing a problem, that is, there are not enough ships.

There is no way, the empire uses more troops this time, and there is foreign aid from the Indians, and the empire's shipbuilding industry has not risen, and the current level of California is only average, and the battleship is still in the conceptual stage.

It was originally a plan, to bring all the troops over, then we had to wait, and then everyone was steadily advancing eastward, anyway, up the river, to Guadalajara, and then to Querétaro.

But now, this is not an adventure, with only a force of 3,000 men, a division, you know, Guadalajara is now under the control of the French, it is a big city!

"Your Majesty, this ......" Meng Fanyong wanted to ask a few more words.

"The reason is simple." Li Mengyang was not angry, because after all, this was a big change, and he explained simply, "I judge that the current Guadalajara is the weakest point in time!" ”

"Oh?" When the generals heard it, it seemed.

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!” Liszt, who came with him, shouted first.

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

Okay, everyone understands, let's do it!

Why did Li Mengyang judge it like this? How could he be so sure that now was the weakest time for Guadalajara?

Actually, there are two points, the first point is Yuma Town!

Didn't the French attack the town of Yuma before? How did they get here?

Obviously, it must have come out of Guadalajara and down the river.

The second point is the reinforcements of the French army, they came from the Strait of Florida, and then landed at Veracruz, and then came back, it should be this route.

But you know, this road is not short. In addition, it is now evident that Mexico is sparsely populated in the west and heavily populated in the east.

Then, as an outsider, the French army must be divided into a large number of soldiers to defend and suppress the big cities in the east, as well as the silver capital, and Mexico City!

And the French army itself is not much, they were only more than 30,000 people at the beginning, how many can be left in this battle?

Besides, how difficult has it been to transport troops from Europe these days?

Another point is that the French army never attacked Yuma again, nor did they attack Baja California, why?

It is estimated that it is not that Napoleon III did not want to, but that the current French army simply cannot do it!

So, if you don't attack Guadalajara at this time, when will you wait?

However, there is a problem with one person.

"Your Majesty, what should I do if I don't adapt to the water and soil?" This comrade is very detail-oriented.

Li Mengyang laughed, and gave a very simple method, "Tell the soldiers to boil the water after taking the water, and drink the boiled water, it is necessary." In addition, it is necessary to cook all the food, a must. ”

A simple method, modern people understand, of course, may not cure the soil and water adaptation, but at least it will be much stronger...... It seems that we still need to strengthen the health system...... Li Mengyang couldn't help but think of the public toilet again, his proud work......

The army of the Empire has not yet arrived, but now the goal, Guadalajara! (To be continued......)
