Rebirth of South America as King

Garcia fled back to the barracks, assembled the defensive forces to withdraw from the defense line, and returned to Brazil by land. That evening, before it was dark, the Chinese Independent Army troops followed the defeated enemy army and reached the Brazilian army's defensive position. There was the former Tiger Guard Tower garrison. Later, after the Chinese Independent Army blocked the way, Garcia's attempt to retreat quickly declared bankruptcy.

The logistical supply of the Brazilian army was cut off. The main force was besieged in the position in front of the Humei Tower fortress. Brazil was temporarily unable to deploy troops to give Garcia strong support. The Humei Tower fortress and the Chinese Independent Army seized the opportunity to launch turns against the Brazilian troops. During the offensive, the defense line built by the Brazilian army was continuously captured by Paraguayan and Chinese troops. On the fifth day of the battle, Garcia assembled all the remaining troops. Starting from the defensive junction of Paraguayan and Chinese troops, the counterattack operation was launched. After the cost of killing captives by the Brazilian army, 10,000 Brazilian troops protruded into the ring and plunged into the mountains and forests east of the Paraguay.

Li Mingyuan's goal was to wipe out the Brazilian army, bring a temporary period of weakness to Brazil's military strength, and give the Chinese Independent Army a base in Rio Grande do Sul for time.

However, it was difficult to siege the remaining Brazilian army, but the enemy broke out under his own eyes. Li Mingyuan was very angry and was preparing to find the generals who were not good for defense. He was punished severely. However, after the final investigation, it was found that the problem lies with the Paraguayan army. The Brazilian army ’s breakthrough defense line was located in the Paraguayan front line where the two armed forces joined. When the Chinese Independent Army realized that the situation was not right and rushed to reinforcements, the Paraguayan garrison was defeated by the enemy and a large number of Brazilian troops had escaped the encirclement. []

The problem was with the Paraguayan army, and Li Mingyuan was angry and had nowhere to go.

Soon after the Brazilian army broke through, Li Mingyuan contacted the Paraguayan army to discuss a joint troop to pursue the Brazilian army, but the result was that Paraguayan troops suffered heavy casualties and needed urgent repair. The pursuit of the remnants of Brazil will also bother the Chinese Independence Army alone.

Little Lopez's attitude made Li Mingyuan very unhappy, and I hurried to Paraguay. Although the main purpose was for the Chinese Independent Army to stand in Rio Grande do Sul, however, the Chinese Independent Army helped Paraguay resolve the invading enemy forces. Immediately after the end of the battle, Lao Tzu put forward a simple request to chase the remnants of the enemy, and you did not agree. Isn't this the intention not to give the Chinese independent army face?

Li Mingyuan complained that Lopez Jr. was ungrateful and refused to give the Chinese Independent Army face. The little Lopez side was also filled with fire. The left-behind troops reported that the Chinese Independent Army took advantage of Paraguay's domestic military vacancy and did not pass through Lopez's. Agreed, forcing large and small vessels to be faked under his name, the boats along the Paraguayan River were ransacked by the Chinese Independent Army, and the fishermen without food had to drive down the river with a fish skin raft built by planks. The Paraguayan people along the coast did not know the truth. Blame it on Lopez.

Lopez Jr. has a lot to say. After the Humei Tower fortress was surrounded, he did agree to some conditions of the Chinese Independent Army, but those conditions were limited to the division of their respective areas of influence after the war, and did not involve the interests of ordinary people in Paraguay.

The Chinese Independence Army did not agree with the forced conquest of the ship without the approval of the young Lopez, but this was not the main reason for the young Lopez's anger. The real cause of the young Lopez's anger and even refused to provide troops to chase the Brazilian remnants was the Chinese Independence Army in Paraguay. Recruit women of appropriate age.

Due to the war, Paraguay's domestic population has been reduced by more than half, and the gender imbalance between men and women has been serious. After the war, Lopez Jr. intends to promote the domestic fertility rate and increase the population in Paraguay. In order to restore Paraguay's pre-war population, Lopez Jr. has considered implementing Polygamy has increased Paraguay's population in a short time.

The Chinese Independence Army's half-temptation and half-deception recruiting Paraguayan women of appropriate age obviously undermined Lopez Jr.'s plans for Paraguay's future development.

For more than half a month, more than 10,000 Paraguayan women who have joined the Chinese independence with food, drugs, and even weapons and ammunition have been attracted. If effective measures are not taken to stop the behavior of the Chinese Independent Army, more Paraguayan women will be lost.

In Paraguay, there are only more than 200,000 men, women and children together. Even if the proportion of women is too high, it is also a valuable human wealth. Excessive population loss is also a major loss of Paraguay's national strength.

Different from the crowded situation in East Asia, South America is short of population in countries that have recently become independent. Brazil has an area of ​​more than 8.5 million square kilometers and a population of less than 10 million. Argentina has a population of 1.5 million. Chile and Paraguay and Uruguay have a smaller population. Paraguay The southern countries of South America, Uruguay, and Argentina are rich in resources and fertile in land. What is lacking is only manpower. Therefore, a sufficient number of people is the most direct factor in measuring the strength of South American countries. The population is enough. With an excuse to fight with neighbouring countries, the land naturally increased.

Population is of great significance to the development of Paraguay's country. To recruit Paraguayan women by the Chinese Independent Army is to dig the corner of Lopez. The stubborn and dictatorial Lopez has regarded Paraguay as its private property and should not be tolerated by outsiders.

After experiencing the lesson of beating Paraguay by the three-nation alliance of Brazil, Lopez Jr. was less rational, because it was not worth the trouble of the Paraguayan women and the Chinese independent army, and more than 100,000 Chinese people reached half of the population of Paraguay. As a result, Paraguay is about to become the site of the Chinese Independent Army.

Foreign troops stationed in their own country will have huge hidden dangers in the end, while Lopez Jr. issued an order prohibiting the Chinese Independent Army from continuing to recruit women of Paraguayan age, while sending representatives to urge the Chinese Independent Army to leave Paraguay.

The host closed the door and rushed the guests away. Li Mingyuan was upset and not good enough to stay in Paraguay. He again proposed some conditions to the small Lopez. The two sides reached an agreement after bargaining. The captured Brazilian army was owned by the Chinese Independent Army. Li Mingyuan A portion of the seized food was taken and distributed to López Jr. for emergency. The Chinese Independent Army stopped recruiting Paraguayan women. Paraguay women who originally joined the Chinese army were not allowed to interfere with their personal freedom.

The sphere of influence is reaffirmed again ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The three states in southern Brazil belong to the extended sphere of influence of the Chinese Independent Army. Paraguay can use the coastal ports of the Chinese troops. The state of Mato Grosso in Brazil belongs to the target of Paraguay. The appointed time respectively attacked the respective sphere of influence and disrupted the reinforcement plan of Brazil.

The agreement with Paraguay was finalized. Two days later, the 20,000 Chinese independent army, which had been repaired, set off along the Paraguay river in a fleet led by Chaoyang and Dawn, passing through Formosa and encountering the Argentine army stationed here. The Formosa coastal area was occupied by Argentina, and the western bank of the Paraguay was connected to Argentine territory. The slack Argentine army was attacked. The soldiers in the camp dropped the boats and logistics in the port, turned their legs, and turned towards Argentina. The inland areas ran away. The purpose of the Chinese Independent Army was to occupy Rio Grande do Sul, and the Chinese troops sailing at sea would reconcile. The 10,000 Argentine army was not the main target of their attack.

Abandoned pursuit of the fleeing Argentine army, ransacked food and weapons and ammunition in the camp, and took the seized Argentine ship. The fleet continued on, passing the junction of the Paraguay and Parana rivers, and heading up the Parana River. Three days later, the first batch of Chinese fleets that departed arrived at Porto Alegre and left behind. A small number of Chinese soldiers reunited, and then for more than ten days, Li Mingyuan led the remaining Chinese and 12,000 recruited Paraguayan women from Paraguay and arrived in Porto Alegre on July 3, 1868. It took more than half a year to make the trek. The transfer of thousands of miles ended in full.
