"Ferguson, where the hell are you hiding?"

"Coming, coming......" Ferguson, who was as strong as a bear, came out of the shack on one side, hurriedly lifted his pants in one hand, and ran out with a gun in the other, and replied in a panic; Here comes the vice-captain, are you looking for me? ”

"Can you rest for a while, and the woman who gave it to you can't run away, and you can use the ploughing day and night? It's like a walking animal. Tian Fuguang scolded him a few times, then beckoned him to follow, and walked to the side of the camp with more than 20 armed volunteer militiamen.

Over there

Many Indian women were busy loading their carts, and another week had passed, and the cavalry escorting the captives had returned, and food was ready for another expedition, and the news that the scout cavalry had returned was heartening.

In a large river bay about 80 kilometers away, there is a native Indian tribe of about 1,700 people, although this tribe is small in number, but it has more than 300 horses, many cattle and sheep, and is equipped with many smoothbore guns, and seems to be relatively wealthy.

The leading co-captain, Wu Erbao and Guan Datou, had already discussed and prepared to raid this Native Indian camp, and after the defeat, they would use this Native Indian camp as a base and develop to the surrounding areas.

No, the team is ready to go.

Some of the cassava and potatoes that could not be carried were left in their place, and could be used if other teams passed by, and today the team grew to nearly 200 wagons and ox carts, totaling more than 1,300 people, most of whom were Indian women, except for 220 volunteer cavalrymen.

"Ready? Let's go. Guan Tou's hand waved the command.

Guan Datou is another co-captain in the team, he is a standard cavalry captain retired, and there are 76 men under him, which is a little more than Wu Erbao, so he serves as the cavalry captain with the strongest combat effectiveness, and he is also one of the two co-captains.

All the Indian women silently climbed into the wagons or ox-carts, forming a long convoy, escorted by the cavalry, heading northwest, and soon disappeared at the end of the lush bushes.

The coast of Chile on the Atlantic side

In early March 1863, the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Marine Division, which was part of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, landed in the Osorno region and occupied this sparsely populated town in southern Chile, and renamed it Torch City.

After the news came out, it caused an uproar in Chile.

This is because the area is located north of the island of Chiloe, and in 1825 the independent Chilean government held the Tapiwe Conference with the Mapuche people, which established the Biobío River as the boundary between Chile and the Araucanía region, ending more than 300 years of territorial disputes between the Mapuche and the Republic of Chile (formerly the Spanish colonizers).

The Osorno region is undoubtedly owned by Chile and, although located in the southern backwoods of Chile, did occupy and own the area during the early Spanish-Mapuche wars, and was permanently settled by more than 570 white descendants of the Spaniards.

If the Torch City is occupied by the Tang Empire, then the more than 5,600 kilometers of Chile's Pacific coast will be cut in half, leaving only more than 2,460 kilometers, and more than 3,150 kilometers in the south will be lost......

Fortunately, in the sixties of the 19th century, the Chileans did not expect to have such a long coastline, and their focus was on the Osorno region, where the Chileans, of white Spanish descent, were extremely angry at the invasion of the southern frontier.

The big problem is

The Chileans could not come up with a legal basis for the Osorno region to belong to themselves, but only shouted that the region belonged to them and was invaded and occupied by the Tang Empire, but they could not come up with the credentials.

At the Tapiwe Conference of 1825, although the Biobío River was established as the boundary between Chile and the Araucanía region, no intergovernmental agreement of legal significance was signed.

This is because Chile still covets the vast land further south, and does not want to stop its colonization by the Biobío River, but it is only temporarily unable to catch it, so it deliberately leaves a model lake concept.

This is because the indigenous Indian tribes were a loose alliance of wars, and when they united to fight the Spaniards, they went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers, and there was neither a unified token nor a royal government, and after a verbal peace agreement was reached, they dispersed.

I never expected that

The Tang Empire, which is located thousands of miles away in North America, unexpectedly moved south, unreasonably occupied the Osorno region, and renamed the area Torch City, and garrisoned it in a grand manner.

This suddenness left the Chilean government and people dumbfounded.

For the Malpuches, the muskets and conquests of the whites were nothing short of dimensionality reductions, and the productive backward indigenous Indians were fat on the sticky board, at the mercy of cutting and bullying.

For the Chileans, the strong ships and sharp guns of the Tang Empire are dimensionality reduction strikes, and the little Chile can't compete at all, so they wisely shut up after shouting for a while.

If you think about it carefully, the United States of America (North) is where the lessons of the past are there, even if the Chileans are arrogant, they also know that their small physique is far from being able to touch the Tang Empire, so their measures are;

A high-level delegation headed by Prime Minister Gonzalez was dispatched to urgently visit the Tang Empire to seek agreement on the southern border.

In other words, decisively coaxed.

In the dictionary of white Chileans, there is no shame in bowing to the strong, and the Osorno region was originally snatched from the Mapuche people, so it is not a pity to lose it.

Unfortunately, the attempt to continue to expand southward in the future was aborted, and it became completely impossible.

Now it is imperative to determine the southern border with the Tang Empire, in case the army of the Tang Empire invades the north again, it will be a big trouble.

Sure enough

After Chilean Prime Minister Gonzalez arrived in Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, he launched an urgent secret consultation with the imperial government, during which Prime Minister González discovered that the Tang Empire had questioned the ownership of the Lautaro region, which was more than 270 kilometers south of Osorno.

This frightened the Chileans, and they immediately argued in secret consultations, laying out facts and reasoning about the fact that it had been more than 130 years since the Spanish colonizers had taken control of the Lautaro region, and that from a moral and legal point of view, the region belonged to Chilean territory and there was no dispute.

After arguing with reason, the Tang Empire reluctantly accepted this view.

The disputed area was then moved to Panjepui, south of the Lautaro region, more than 120 kilometres north of the Torch City, a precarious mountain city in the Andes that had been captured from the Mapuche people.

After a tug-of-war at the negotiating table, more than a month later, on May 14, 1863, the Tang Empire and Chile formally signed a bilateral border survey treaty.

The city of Panjepuyi belongs to Chile, and the two sides are bounded by a valley river 11 kilometers south of the city of Panjipui, the north belongs to Chilean territory, and the south belongs to the territory of the Tang Empire.

In this way, the Tang Empire acquired about 27,200 square kilometers of land 109 kilometers north of Torch City through blackmail, and formalized it through legal form, completely clarifying the border issue with Chile.

The formal signing of the "Tang Zhi Northern Boundary Treaty" immediately made Argentina fall into a dilemma, the reason is very simple;

Whether it is the Panguipui region or the Torch City area (Osorno), as long as you climb the high Andes Mountains, to the east is the Argentine province of Neuquén, which is adjacent to the most prosperous and wealthy province of Buenos Aires.
