Chapter 877 Population, Devil, World!
"It's gold coins!"
Perez took the money bag and opened it, and his eyes were immediately filled with gold!
He quickly took out a gold coin from the small but heavy bag and found that it was a very well-made gold coin with a few square characters on it. It was obviously not Inca characters - because the Incas had no characters! However,
No one cares about the words on the gold, people only care about the purity of the gold. Perez took the gold coin and put it in his mouth, took a bite with his teeth, it was a little soft, it was real gold!
"Lieutenant, why did the Inca give us gold coins?"
Andre also saw the golden gold coins. Of course he knew that gold coins were a good thing as he had been doing business with the Spaniards. But he didn't understand why the Inca gave him gold? Could it be that he wanted to bribe the Kalenkawa Indian tribe?
?
"Why give us gold coins?" Perez quickly hid the bag of gold coins in his arms, "That's for me... I am an Inca, you are not an Inca, that Inca prince
Why should I give you gold coins?"
"Are you an Inca?" Andre looked at Perez, a mixed-race Indo-European, "Didn't you always say you were Spanish?"
"I, I..." Peres probably felt that it was not good to take the gold alone, so he gave Andre a gold coin in his right hand, "I'll give you this gold coin, don't worry about it anymore."
Yelled!"
"I..." After receiving the gold coins, Andre wanted to ask for more, but the "Inca Prince" Cering Taiji was already impatient.
The gold coins have been collected, why haven’t they been delivered yet?
"Wine! Move it down quickly!" Cering Taiji shouted, raising his left hand to point at the wine barrel on the canoe. At the same time, he reached his right hand under the hem of his robe and rested it on the handle of a revolver!
The origin of this revolver is amazing!
It was invented by Zhu Heji, Dai Zi and Huang Lvzhuang together - among them, Zhu Heji "invented" the mercury fulminate fire and cork bullets, Dai Zi designed the rotating drum, and Huang Lvzhuang designed the rotating drum.
Linked mechanism with trigger and hammer.
In addition, the three of them did not create a revolver out of thin air. In fact, the Europeans had already created a revolving matchlock gun. However, this multi-fire gun has no linkage mechanism, and the drum must be moved by hand, and there is no
The flash cap had to be lit with a match rope, which was very inconvenient. Therefore, it was not popularized after its invention, and it did not become a standard weapon of the army.
The multiple-fire gun invented by Dai Zi in history should be a wheel-type matchlock gun. This thing is not very easy to use. It is normal for the Qing court not to pay for it. Otherwise, given the importance Kangxi attached to the Eight Banners firearms,
I will definitely get a batch of them for the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.
The revolver bomb "invented" by Zhu Heji, Dai Zi, and Huang Luzhuang is almost complete. It has a rifled barrel, a flash cap cork bullet, and a drum trigger linkage mechanism. Not only the rate of fire is greatly improved, but the reliability is also greatly improved.
, and the accuracy is much better than that of ordinary muskets!
Although the performance of this revolver is powerful, its mechanical structure is still too complicated compared to the handicraft industry in the 17th century. Therefore, the output of this new weapon is very low, the yield rate is even lower, and the cost remains high.
Therefore, the ordinary Ming army did not have equipment. Only Zhu Heji's cavalry and bodyguards, as well as the "Yin family cavalry" sent to the New World, were equipped with such black technology weapons.
However, since the quality of the revolvers currently manufactured is still high, the service life is still relatively limited, and the cost of ammunition is also high, so the Yin family cavalry equipped with revolvers are reluctant to use them. If they are worn out, they must be sent back for new ones.
Chaoge can only repair it, and it is very slow to repair, and it cannot be sent back within a few months. Therefore, when bows and arrows can cope with it, they usually use horseback archery to solve the problem.
And Perez didn't need to be shot with a bow or arrow, nor did he need to be bombarded. When the two of them saw Celingtaiji getting angry and pointing his finger at the barrel, they immediately understood what the other person meant.
He quickly said to Andre: "Have your people carry the rum to the shore...that Inca prince wants to drink!"
Although Andre was not satisfied with only one gold coin, he still did not dare to disobey Lieutenant Perez's order, and it was his task to deliver rum to the Incas. So he quickly ordered his men to send a
Barrels of rum were moved from the canoe to the shore, and then they were asked to carry the barrels together and follow the Inca knights to the Inca camp.
After approaching the Inca camp, Andre and Perez discovered that there was a very open pasture on the outside of the river bend camp (on the inside of the Colorado River), with many cattle grazing on the pasture.
Sheep and horses. This shocked Andre and Perez again. The North American prairie is full of bison, and the sky is full of meaty pigeons. These Inca people should be very capable of hunting.
They actually don't eat ready-made food, but raise their own... Not only do they raise cattle and sheep, they actually farm the land!
When Andre and Perez walked outside the trench of the Inca camp, they actually found a lot of wheat growing well and a large vegetable garden with various fruits and vegetables!
In addition, they also saw many Inca women and children, all of whom looked very un-Indian, practicing bow and arrow shooting on a shooting range outside the camp gate. Andre and Perez observed carefully.
After some investigation, I found that these women and children were using arrows with bone arrowheads and a strange-looking bow.
When Andre and Perez wanted to see if the Inca women and children could shoot accurately, they had already followed the Inca prince and descendant of Genghis Khan to a gate of the camp.
Outside this gate, Andre and Perez saw the Inca guns for the first time - the eight gatekeepers only had two flintlock guns without bayonets, and the remaining six only had bows and arrows and bent weapons.
The knife, oh, and the revolver in the "gun holster" tied to the trouser leg! Because it was covered by the hem of the robe, Andre and Perez did not see it. And they had no chance to observe further.
, because Celingtaiji did not let them enter the camp at all, but just asked them to wait outside the camp gate, and then he went in and summoned a group of "Inca big men" to carry the barrels in, and then Andre and Perez were guarded.
The Inca warriors drove away... The two of them didn't say anything more and went back with the gold in hand.
...
When it gets dark, on the west bank of the Colorado River in Texas, on the west side of a large dense forest, twenty brigades of the Spanish Imperial Army have set up camp. Through this forest, there is the meandering Colorado River.
, there were more than a dozen Indian canoes scattered on the river beach. It was Andre and Perez who were riding the canoes in search of the Inca camp.
Now Andre and Perez have arrived at the Spanish Royal Army's camp and were brought to the Duke of Lorraine, Lieutenant General Churchill and Archbishop Philip.
"Your Highness the Bishop, Your Excellency the Duke, Your Excellency the Lieutenant General, the Inca camp is five to six Spanish miles away (about twenty or thirty kilometers), relying on a river bend, covering a very large area and looking very solid.
, there is a very deep and wide outer trench, and inside the outer trench is a circle of wooden fences and a circle of parapets. However, the weapons of the Incas were not very advanced, and they were only equipped with a small number of muskets. No artillery was seen, but everyone
With bows and arrows, even their women and children can shoot!”
"Your Highness the Bishop, Your Excellency the Duke, Your Excellency the Lieutenant General, those Incas are still grazing outside the camp. They raise a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses, and they also grow a lot of wheat and vegetables."
In the headquarters tent of the Duke of Lorraine, Andre and Perez were pointing at a scrawled map and reporting on the enemy situation obtained from their reconnaissance.
The Duke of Lorraine and Lieutenant General Churchill both stood in front of the map with their arms folded, listening very carefully for fear of missing a word. After Andre and Perez finished speaking, the two looked at each other, and then Churchill spoke.
Said: "Duke... I think we can use the cover of night to pass through the woods, complete the deployment in front of their camp before dawn, and then launch a surprise attack! At the same time, we can also set up rocket positions on the other side of the Colorado River.
, firing rockets into their camp. There are many cattle and sheep in their camp, as well as their women and children. Once attacked by rockets, there will definitely be chaos."
The Duke of Lorraine nodded and asked, "Approximately how many people are there?"
Perez immediately took the question and answered: "Duke, they didn't let us enter the camp, so we can't confirm the situation inside the camp. But judging from the size of their camp and the cattle and sheep grazing outside and the cultivated wheat fields, their
There are at least tens of thousands of people, among whom there should be about 15,000 combat-capable personnel."
Lieutenant General Churchill said: "Duke, we have more than 30,000 people, twice as many as them, and we also have an overwhelming advantage in firepower. We have a great chance of winning this battle!"
Cardinal Philip smiled and added: "Duke, we still have the Holy Spear... Since ancient times, any party that carries the Holy Spear on the battlefield can get the blessing of Jesus and must be invincible!"
This is when the Holy Spear comes out, who will compete?
Hearing what Philip said, the Duke of Lorraine's confidence exploded! So he nodded and made his final determination: "This is the end of the Incas... They should have perished more than a hundred years ago.
, that is the will of God! But they dared to take refuge in the devil and resist the will of God, and survived for more than a hundred years. However, their final moment of destruction has arrived! We will set off early tomorrow morning. We must go after dark
Arrive near the Inca Bend...and start attacking early in the morning the day after tomorrow!"
The Duke of Lorraine then said to Churchill: "John, you will lead two brigades of the English Expeditionary Force, plus all the rocket troops, to advance along the east bank of the Colorado River. You must reach the other side of the Inca Bay before the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and deploy your rockets."
Launch the position. At the same time, deploy the infantry and artillery along the river bank... I estimate that the Incas who were suddenly attacked will definitely choose to swim across the river to escape, and your people must kill them all!"
This is to eradicate the weeds!
Archbishop Philip on the side was a little worried that Lieutenant General Churchill was not ruthless enough, and added: "Lieutenant General, the Incas have sold their souls to the devil... All of them deserve to go to hell, so we cannot be
They are human beings and must be eradicated without leaving a trace! This is not only the Duke’s order, but also God’s will!”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke!" Lieutenant General Churchill stood at attention and took the order from the Duke of Lorraine. However, he did not say much to Archbishop Philip... He is a Protestant, and Archbishop Philip is a Catholic.
A cardinal and the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition!
The Duke of Lorraine nodded and added: "I will personally lead the remaining eight brigades to march from the west bank of the Colorado River... The early morning of the day after tomorrow will be the end of those Incas!"
Archbishop Philip immediately made a sign of the cross on his chest and said: "God will definitely bless you... I will march with you with the Holy Spear!"
This is when the Holy Spear comes out, who will compete?
...
In the Yinjiabu camp in the bay of Yinjia River (this is the name of the Colorado River in Texas in the Yin Shang Dynasty), Cering Dunduobu was drinking rum and wiping a six-round revolver. He had just wiped the revolver.
After getting polished, the curtain of the big tent was lifted up. After a cool breeze, Borzigit Celing walked in with sweat on his face.
Cering Dundorbu glanced at him: "Celing Taiji, have you found the Spanish camp?"
"Found it!" Borzijit Celing grinned, "You are still smart, Mr. Marquis. You knew there was something wrong with those Indian profiteers while drinking sugar cane wine... and you even asked the official to go all the way.
Following them, we found the Spanish army!"
This matter is really a "holy blessing". Borzigit Celing mistook Perez and Andre as profiteers selling wine... The quality of those rums is too high
Gao, how could a profiteer do business like that? You'll know something is wrong as soon as you drink it.
So Celing Dundobu immediately realized that his camp might be targeted by the Spaniards. So he immediately asked Borzijit Celing to lead people to follow and follow them, and sure enough they discovered the Spanish army!
Celingtundubu smiled and said: "You don't have to drink that sugar cane wine. Just look at the color and the oak barrels that contain the wine. You will know that it is top quality. It is not something that those Indian businessmen can get! Tell me, how many people are there?
?”
Borzigit Celing said: "At least thirty thousand! It's forty or fifty miles away... Do you think we are going to make a sneak attack?"
Cering Dunduobu gently turned the wine glass and said thoughtfully: "No need... If I guessed correctly, they should have sent it to the door themselves! Cering Taiji, let's set up an ambush here.
Then wait for the Spaniards to come and die!"
Chapter completed!
