Liu Wuliang, 42 years old, the former second-generation Chinese workers in the Americas, moved from Mexico, turned out to be a gold digger, saved a little gold and gold and later opened a grocery store to make money, so he went to Ecuador to buy a piece of land and began to grow food and cocoa coffee, the Chinese are born with a fanatical demand for land, thinking that having land is considered to have a home and roots, it just so happened that he met a Spanish broken household, the farmer has been unable to recruit helpers, and wants to move to the big city of Lima after selling the land, so he cheapened Liu Wuliang.

married an Indian woman's daughter-in-law, with a 5-year-old son Liu Quan and a 2-year-old daughter Liu Xia. There are more than 20 Chinese villagers living together on the plantation, and they have lived well. Because they knew the Hantang Group when they were in Panama, it was easy for the advance team to get in touch with Liu Wuliang this time.

Liu Wuliang introduced in detail:

"At present, these parts of South America are few and sparsely populated, and most of the people will look for work in the coastal cities, so there is a shortage of labor on the plantations in rural towns and villages near the mountains."

"Towns or cities are managed by tax officials and sheriffs, and they only need to file and pay taxes at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the year, and at the end of the year.

"Although the British legally forced Spain to abolish the slave trade and Chinese indentured servitude, the farmers and mine owners in remote areas still used Chinese indentured slaves as indentured slaves, working 14 to 15 hours a day, and the life of overseas Chinese was very miserable."

Li Song asked again:

"How many Chinese are there in Ecuador?"

"3, 40,000 should be there!"

"Find us a couple of guides and we'll be on the move in 3 days!"

Liu Wuliang introduced fellow villagers Liu Wen and Liu Li to An Yun, Li Yi, and Xu Hui of the War Department, and this time a reinforced battalion of 600 people was dispatched, and the commander An Yun was dispatched.

Target: A mine and two plantations 50 kilometers from the harbor, which are said to be home to more than 3,500 Chinese laborers, and the officials are nasty white natives.

On October 18, 1876, An Yun and 600 men marched for two days and finally arrived near Upper Tambo. Xu Hui personally led six special combat team members to the mine to investigate.

After Xu Hui's reconnaissance, he found that the entrance of the mine was facing the river and the mountain on one side, and although the special combat personnel were able to sneak in, it was obvious that the attack of the large army still had to go to the river, and it would definitely be discovered.

There are four watchtowers on the front, and it is not easy to storm it.

Li Xiguang, a member of the special combat team, suggested that the soldiers should be divided into two ways: on the one hand, 12 people led by the special combat team members infiltrated before dawn, and 5 people went directly to arrest the mine owner or the sheriff; The other seven men lurked directly high in the front doorway, ready to support the frontal attack.

On the other hand, the main force strives to ambush the mine's transportation and supply convoy 10 miles away, and after changing disguises together, they strive to sneak into the gate, and if an accident occurs at that time, then immediately attack.

After listening to Xu Hui's reconnaissance report and suggestions for attacking the fortification, An Yun not only equipped the 12 people with 12 sets of body armor, but also strengthened two light machine guns, solemnly telling them that safety first, if the attack failed, they could start again, but if they lost one of the 12 traversers, they would not be able to explain to the executive committee.

After the attack was ready, everyone began to split up to prepare for the ambush of the supply vehicles, and the large army rested and waited for the dawn to come.

On October 21, 1876, at 5:00 a.m., Xu Hui led 11 team members to sneak into the mine with a hook rope.

Xu Hui: "Li Xiguang took someone to grab his tongue and ask about the situation!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Li Xiguang immediately called Xiao Wang and entered the mine dormitory. 15 minutes later, he brought back a foreigner, who was a little dishonest at first, Li Xiguang directly took a knife and pressed it on his neck, and the white man named Werther was almost scared to death:

“Stop！ Stop！。。。。。。。 ”

He still speaks English, so he can't be British, right?

"I'm Scottish, definitely not a damn Englishman, what are you going to do? Tell me, and I will do it, and I will look for you。。。。。 Find that mine owner and warehouse, that damn Spaniard should have gone to hell a long time ago! ”

Xu Hui interrupted him:

"Stop, how many miners, especially Chinese miners?"

Witt also understands that the situation is tense.

"There are 2,800 miners, 2,300 Chinese, and a lot of Scottish, Swiss farmers, Indians, they will definitely help you!"

Xu Hui ordered: "Li Xiguang and 3 people took Witte to find the group of Scottish whites and attacked the camp of a guard after they were armed, Wang Dong and 4 people sneaked into the gate of the mine to support Captain An, and the other 4 people followed me to arrest the mine owner and act!" ”

Everyone: "Yes! After saying that, he immediately disappeared into the night.

At 8:00 a.m. on the 21st, eight supply horse-drawn carts slowly approached the mine entrance, and the post duty personnel were ready to open the gate. ”

As soon as the tarpaulin on the car was lifted, 20 people suddenly jumped out, divided into 4 groups, one group controlled the sentry, one group went straight to the duty room, another group of snipers immediately shot at the four sentry towers, and the other group organized the defense line on the spot.

Wang Dong: "Report to Captain An, the mine owner has been arrested, and we have also incorporated more than 200 Scottish allies, and all of them have been taken except for the warehouse!" ”

An Yun listened: "Then let's go and see the warehouse!" ”

Xu Hui introduced: "There are 20 warehouse guards, but this is a mining area, and there are a lot of powder kegs in it, and I am afraid that they will jump over the wall and cause an explosion, so I will stabilize them for the time being." ”

"Come here, come in, you go in and negotiate!"

Witt was frightened: "Ah!!!! I..... I..... Go? ”

An Yun knew the danger, but still said:

"Do you think it's that easy to join our Independence Army? What's more, the current situation is very unfavorable to the 20 people inside, tell them to lay down their weapons, you can let them go, and leave here with a small amount of wealth, there is only one hour! ”

But in just half an hour, the people inside surrendered, and it was obvious that Werther was scared, saying that there were 3,000 Chinese elite soldiers outside, of course, 600 marines and 2,300 Chinese laborers. The owner of the Spanish dental mine, named Retvis, has been protesting, saying that he will go to the parliament to complain, but the Independence Army directly told him to kill him directly, and then he was locked in the house and left alone.

An Yun immediately arranged to boil water and cook rice, and arranged for statistics on the seizure of the mine.

According to statistics: 1,200 tons of copper ore, 15 tons of gold ore sand, 50 tons of silver ore, 50 sets of machinery and equipment, 80 houses, 30,000 pounds in cash, 120,000 pesos. The mine valley area is very large, 30 meters to 500 meters wide, 8 kilometers long, plus the five nearby mountains have a minimum of 500 meters, the highest is 1,200, it is easy to live tens of thousands of people, and the key is that there is a 20-meter-wide river, which can cultivate at least tens of thousands of acres of land along the river.

"Xu Hui immediately telegraphed Li Song, and took 48 people to start measuring the map of the vicinity within at least 20 kilometers, and reconnoitred the two nearby plantations and reported them quickly!"

"Yes," Xu Hui immediately went to arrange.

An Yun looked at the green mountains in spring, Ecuador has mountains, water, mines and land here, and if you want to say it from your heart, our South American dragon will start to take off from here!
