After the Donghua Army occupied Cusco, it opened the door to the southwest region.
This is the main mining area in Peru, and it is simply extremely rich.
After occupying Cusco, why did Tian Fang have the confidence to continue the attack and not even be afraid of an all-out war with the Peruvian government?
One important reason is that their capture in Cusco was so rich.
The belongings of many mine owners are stored here. The amount of gold and silver seized alone has reached tens of millions.
The most important thing is not the wealth, but the mountains of supplies here.
The ammunition and weapons stored in the city of Cusco are also very rich, so Tian Fang asked someone to take inventory.
This amount of weapons and ammunition is enough to arm 100,000 people. They say that the mining areas in the southwest are rich, and this is true.
With these supplies, Tian Fang had the confidence to continue the fight.
Originally, the Indian farmers and soldiers used a variety of weapons, and some used cold weapons.
Now they are all equipped with flintlock muskets from Cusco's stock.
The Indians in Cusco were also very enthusiastic about joining the Donghua Army.
Zhumu has now become a veritable Indian queen.
She and Dong Shutong also came to the city of Cusco. Everyone gathered in the palace left by the Inca Empire to discuss plans for future development.
"Zhumu, you should be the queen of Donghua Kingdom." Dong Shutong said.
Since the war started, the Donghua Army has controlled half of Peru.
At this time, it is necessary to have a title. It is no longer appropriate to continue to carry the banner of the local forces in Peru, and it is not conducive to mobilizing the Indians.
Several Donghua giants are now gathered in Cusco.
This is the holy city of Indians.
"Shu Tong, the Indians have never had a queen." Zhumu said. The Indians also have some patriarchal ideas, and the entire social structure is also a patriarchal society.
Several of them discussed forming a new country, a country composed of Indians and Chinese, not just replacing the Peruvian government.
The new country and the new government are two different concepts. The new government means the inheritance of the original government, while the new country means the overthrow of all the original ones.
Dong Shutong felt that Zhumu should be allowed to carry this banner.
He doesn't have the deep idea that men are superior to women. Besides, he is in a society like the Indians that respects the strong.
Dong Shutong has also read a lot of white people's books in recent years, and has changed a lot in his thinking.
"Zhumu, for the sake of the current overall situation, you must carry this banner. The cause of Indian liberation must be led by Indians. Only your identity is suitable. Besides, there is no need for us husband and wife to distinguish each other. From now on, we will lay down
The foundation will benefit all Indians and Chinese." Dong Shutong said.
"Yes, madam, it is best for you to be the queen now. Only in this way can the Indians be united. Now the Indians in Cusco are looking at us." Ma Chunye said.
Among the top executives in Donghua, only Zhumu is an Indian.
Although Donghua regards itself as the liberator of the Indians, all of their senior officials are Chinese.
It’s not that they reject Indians, it’s actually that Indians have been deliberately suppressed by white people, and there are no talented people among them who are worthy of big posts.
Donghua has also been promoting and packaging Zhumu to establish a heroine image for the Indians.
Since we want to establish a country now, it is best for Zhumu to be the queen.
If Dong Shutong was made king, those Indians would definitely be dissatisfied.
The Chinese population cannot increase all of a sudden, so now they have to rely on Indians to resist the white people.
At the same time, only in the name of Indians can we have the legal basis to establish a country here.
As for whether the Indians will turn against each other in the future.
Although several high-level officials did not discuss this issue, they have carefully considered it in their hearts.
First of all, the main force of Donghua's army is now all Chinese. Although the number of Chinese is not as good as that of Indians, they are all young and strong.
Secondly, even if Zhumu becomes the queen, the operation of the entire kingdom will still be controlled by the Chinese backbones such as Ma Chun and Tian Fang.
Finally, after the founding of Donghua, we must rely on the support of the Renaissance Army, otherwise how can we survive in Latin America surrounded by powerful enemies?
So in the end, they all felt that Zhu Mu would be the queen, which would have no impact on Donghua's future direction.
While Dong Shutong served as the consul, power was still in Dong Shutong's hands.
In this way, in Cusco, an Indian country was born.
Because Donghua promoted that the Indians were descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty and everyone was descended from the Chinese, it was named the Donghua Kingdom.
Also because he considered himself to be a descendant of China and respected China as his mother country, he only called himself a kingdom, not an emperor.
The news that Zhumu established the Donghua Kingdom in Cusco caused an uproar as soon as it came out.
Not only Peru, but all of Latin America was alarmed.
Europeans called it the Restoration of the Inca Empire.
The white people were very frightened. They thought Donghua would liquidate the sins the white people had committed against the Indians.
In areas not yet occupied by Donghua, the white government began to strengthen surveillance of the Indians within the territory.
Many influential Indians were arrested on various charges.
The Indians couldn't even keep their own meat-eating daggers.
Suddenly the whole of Peru became turbulent.
"Now I declare that the Donghua rebels are a rebel force. The Donghua rebels are perverse and the free life of Peruvians cannot be trampled on by them."
On the Plaza de Armas, many white citizens gathered here to listen to President Jose's speech.
"People of Peru, for the sake of freedom, please take up our guns and defend our own freedom. The freedom brought to us by San Martin must now be defended by ourselves."
Deafening shouts rang out in the square. The white people in Lima were completely agitated.
"Those Peruvians are crazy!" Zhang Dongxu said.
"Has Chinatown been mobilized?" Cai Qiming frowned.
This day will come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.
The streets of Lima were full of registration points for white volunteers. After the white people took up arms, the first thing they dealt with was not Donghua, but the Indians in the city.
As for the role played by the Chinese in the Donghua Army, the Peruvian government does not dare to publicize it yet. They do not want to fall out with the Chinese now.
It's not that they are afraid of the Renaissance Army. No matter how strong the Renaissance Army is, it still has no sense of presence in South America. The Peruvians probably are just worried about losing the Chinese market.
"Well, the weapons have been distributed. We have told the Peruvians that due to the unrest in Lima, Chinatown will be temporarily closed. Barricades have been built on the streets, and militiamen are taking turns stationed in Peruvian police uniforms."
When he first purchased land from Peru to build Chinatown, Cai Qiming agreed that the Chinese people themselves would be responsible for the security of Chinatown.
The police officers here wear the uniforms of the Peruvian government, but in fact they are all Chinese.
These police officers are not the main force protecting Chinatown, but the residents inside are, especially those Chinese who later migrated. They have all received militia training in China.
At least they are all proficient in using guns. Even Chinatown is a relatively closed structure. As long as both ends are blocked, ordinary mobs cannot rush in.
Jose originally encouraged these white people to recruit more volunteers to conquer Donghua in the east.
But after the people were agitated, they gradually lost control.
They attacked Indians everywhere in the city, and some Indians received Western education and embraced Catholicism.
They have been integrated into the life of Lima. But now they have become the targets for these white people to release their inner anger.
With a "bang", the door of a respectable Indian house was smashed open, and several mixed-race and white people rushed in with weapons.
"Look, they hid a set of knives." A mulatto man rushed into the kitchen and found a set of knives, saying that the Indian family was preparing to rebel.
Apart from their appearance, this Indian family's clothing and living habits are the same as those of Peruvian white people. It is normal to have a set of knives in the kitchen.
However, at this time they were considered to be rebels.
If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?
These people rushed forward and knocked the male host who came to argue to the ground.
The hostess and their daughter were dragged into the bedroom.
Then a woman's screams sounded inside.
The Indian man was wearing a white shirt and even a pair of glasses. He was obviously a cultural person. How could he break away from the shackles of these people?
…
"Your Excellency, you can no longer indulge these people like this." Seeing the chaos in the city, some enlightened white officials, such as Mario, were very worried that the situation would become uncontrollable.
"Mario, those Indians have established their own kingdom. They have openly declared war on us. This is already a war between two nations. Now what reason do we have to protect the Indians? I have ordered the Ministry of Interior to
Concentration camps have been set up in various places to temporarily lock up these Indians," Jose said.
"General Corinho Jr. of Chiclayo has organized an army of 30,000 people and is heading south. General Lanedin of Iquitos has also organized an army of 20,000 people to go south to recover the La Montagna area."
"I am going to recruit 50,000 volunteers in Lima and surrounding areas. This time we will completely eliminate the Indian power and eliminate this hidden danger for our future generations." Jose said, as if what he was about to do was a great thing.
cause.
"Your Excellency, President, I agree to suppress the Donghua rebels, but will this have a negative impact on Lima? I mean that the behavior of those militiamen is a bit out of control. Lima's commercial activities have basically stopped now.
"Mario said.
After the number of Chinese in Lima increased, the commercial activities in the entire city became much more prosperous.
But now due to the retaliation of the white volunteers, most of the shops have been closed. All the Chinese have evacuated to Chinatown.
Many Chinese grocery stores have been robbed.
Fortunately, there were no casualties. Otherwise, Cai Qiming would have declared war on Peru by this time.
Those white people who are red-eyed now no longer distinguish between Chinese and Indians. Anyone who is not white seems to be within their attack range.
Even some mixed-race white people have become targets of robbery and arrest.
The reason is simply that this man's appearance is closer to that of an Indian.
"Your Majesty the Queen, we must seize the time to go north to rescue our fellow Indians, and we cannot allow the white people to massacre them." An old Indian man holding a wooden pole stood up in the palace and said.
Zhumu was sitting in the main hall wearing a Chinese costume with some Indian characteristics. Next to her sat Dong Shutong, who was also wearing a bright yellow costume.
This is a temporary palace in Cusco. Dong Shutong found someone to decorate it according to the Chinese style.
Two thrones were placed on the south side of the main hall. At Zhumu's request, his seat was pressed to one side of the throne.
Cusco is in the southern hemisphere, so the throne can only be seated from the south to the north.
After the establishment of the kingdom, Zhumu promoted several people from the original priests of several large tribes to the palace of the kingdom.
These people contributed a lot when Zhumu ascended the throne. Many Indian rituals are only known to them.
Regardless of whether the ceremony was correct or not, the scene was very shocking anyway.
Now they will help the Indians in Zhumu to publicize that everyone is East Chinese.
Sacrifice has always played an important role among the Indians. They master the writing and Indian history and are the mouthpieces of the queen.
In fact, they have the right to interpret history. Now the Indian history designed by Dong Shu and them needs to be told through their mouths, so that the Indians will truly believe it.
The Peruvian government has been forcing Indians to embrace Catholicism, so these priests have long been persecuted and suppressed by the Peruvian government.
Now Zhumu hopes to revive the ancestor worship of the Indians through these people and reactivate them. This makes them very grateful, and they follow Zhumu wholeheartedly and help Donghua do things.
The Indians must be allowed to recognize that they are descendants of the Yin Shang and the current East Chinese, and they must voluntarily integrate with the Chinese.
This is a big event, and its importance is actually greater than the war.
The Peruvian government's reaction also reached Cusco.
Several senior officials were surprised that the Peruvian government made such a foolish move.
This is simply giving Donghua an assist.
In this way, all the Indians will fall to the Donghua Army.
Originally, some Indian forces were dissatisfied with the Queen of Zhumu and did not want to join the Donghua Kingdom. Now being forced by the Peruvian government, they had no choice but to join Donghua to seek asylum.
"Lamu Sacrifice, I understand. Those white people are so despicable that they actually attacked civilians. We also have a large number of white prisoners in our hands. I have sent people to tell the Jose government that as long as they harm an Indian, we will execute him.
White people." Zhumu's face was full of anger.
She always displayed a decisive image in front of the ministers.
After saying this, several Indian officials below breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, these white captives were important weights in the hands of the East Chinese people.
Now Queen Zhumu is willing to give it in exchange for the safety of the Indians. No one has anything to say.
"It is up to the Commander-in-Chief and the General Staff to decide whether the army will go north. Fighting is not a child's play. The divisions for sacrifice have been allocated. I hope you can educate our people well. If the Donghua Kingdom wants to be established, it requires the efforts of every Donghua person.
"
"The ruling party and I will go all out, and I hope everyone will work together. Whether we Donghua people can continue to survive in Peru depends on everyone." Zhumu warned.
Dong Shutong generally would not interfere in the management of Indian officials.
However, when these giants are together, Dong Shutong is the one who calls the shots.
The queen of Zhumu has a greater symbolic meaning.
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen." Several priests bowed and went out.
On the surface, Zhumu and Dong Shutong were very polite to these Indians for their sacrifices. Through these people, Donghua was able to unite the Indians.
The total number of Indians in Peru now is about 700,000 or 800,000.
Moreover, they are widely distributed and are a force that cannot be ignored.
After occupying Cusco, the 100,000 troops led by Tian Fang except for some of the remaining personnel.
Most of them followed him to the southeast, occupying mountainous towns such as Sikwani, Santa Rosa, Ayaveri, Capachica, etc. along the way, where Indians were the majority.
Further southeast from Capachica is the city of Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
The southwest warlords fought and retreated all the way, and all the defeated troops retreated into the city of Puno to resist.
However, this group of remnant soldiers has long lost their fighting spirit.
Tian Fang left part of his army to besiege the city of Puno, while he led the main force to attack the city of Arequipa.
"General, the scouts reported that at least 50,000 Donghua troops started from Capachica and moved southwest along the main road. They have occupied the city of Imata." A subordinate ran to the city in Arequipa.
General's Mansion.
General Rustu's family has always controlled the southwest region. The family owns a large number of mines.
Thirty thousand soldiers under General Rustu have been stationed in Arequipa and several surrounding cities.
Not only does it control the mines around Arequipa.
It also controls the ports of Moyando, Moquegua, and Ilo.
The Prussians, British, and Chinese were all their customers.
Compared to other warlords, the soldiers under General Rustu are better equipped.
Without the support of these forces, the Rustu family would not have the ability to control such a large area.
This will be the hardest nut for the Donghua Army to crack!
