According to Dong Shuheng, this meeting was relatively successful.
Several important resolutions were passed quickly.
Yangtze River Bank urgently provided Donghua with a loan of 10 million yuan, which was pledged by Donghua with mineral resources.
Of course, there is no messenger sent by Donghua yet.
Dong Shuheng himself found a family member named Dong Feng from the family business to serve as the plenipotentiary representative of Donghua.
Later, my brother's approval will be needed. Now it is actually Dong Shuheng himself who is operating all this on behalf of both parties.
It may seem unnecessary, but such a procedure is essential.
After all, Donghua will be an independent country in the future.
So naturally it needs to be treated in the same way as an independent country.
Dong Feng is a member of the Dong family, so it is not unreasonable to assign him to Donghua as an official.
For post-war construction in Donghua, 10 million Chinese dollars was simply not enough.
So Dong Feng, with the guarantee of the Fuxing Army, issued another 20 million yuan of debt in the Fuxing Bank.
Then with the money, Dong Feng purchased a large amount of supplies, including a large number of weapons and equipment, as well as a lot of machinery and equipment.
In the end, the money actually went into the pockets of our own people. But in the process, domestic production was once again promoted.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Feng organized a huge fleet with these things and a large number of people and rushed to Donghua.
The Ministry of Commerce has also organized a business inspection delegation to make investments in Donghua.
The Immigration Bureau will give priority to Donghua for this year’s immigration.
Some professionals supporting Donghua were also organized by various departments to go to Donghua, including doctors, teachers, military officers and some professional and technical personnel.
Fleet after fleet was urgently coordinated by the Ministry of Transport to sail to Donghua.
The entire state machine started operating rapidly.
At this time, Donghua didn't know that the Renaissance Army had made such a big move to support him.
The Nanyang Navy is now in the port of Lima, but the British fleet has not retreated and has been monitoring the Nanyang Navy.
The British expressed concern about the war in Peru. In the end, both sides promised not to directly participate in the war in Peru.
Without domestic orders, even Liu Dahai would not dare to go to war with the British directly. Especially the Renaissance Army could not initiate the war on its own.
Of course, the British cruise fleet did not dare to attack the Nanyang Navy.
The Nanyang Navy has temporarily ensured the safety of Donghua Linhai.
Dong Shutong and Zhumu both rushed to Lima, which has always been the capital of Peru, and there were many things that needed to be dealt with by them.
However, the capital of Donghua is still located in Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire.
Tian Fangzheng led the army to march towards Iquitos. This was the last stronghold of the white people in Peru.
Dong Shutong sent envoys to several surrounding countries.
But without exception, these envoys were turned away by various countries.
They are obviously not prepared to recognize this country established by Chinese and Indians.
It only takes a moderately savvy politician to figure out what this means.
In Bolivia Abbas, President José María Linares has recruited a volunteer army of 50,000 people.
Bolivia has not been so aggressive for many years. For relatively poor Bolivia, being able to recruit 50,000 people is already their limit.
These soldiers can't even carry a rifle each.
In 1858, Bolivia implemented the so-called "Caudillo Doctrine" politics.
In name, it is a democratic republic. In fact, the political power is completely in the hands of Caudillo, who is connected to the military and big landowners. There is no democratic system at all, nor the political party system required for a democratic system.
This time the Caudillos in Bolivia were surprisingly united.
President Linares, who was originally like a puppet, only wanted money and troops.
The distance from Abbas City to the southeastern part of Donghua is very short, which is just a matter of climbing over a few mountains.
Therefore, Dong Shutong had to increase troops in the southeast region.
In order to grasp the dynamics of the Bolivian army, it also creates more trouble for them.
Zhumu selected some clever soldiers from the Donghua Indians and sent them to the Indian tribes in Bolivia.
In recent years, the Indians in Bolivia have been brutally oppressed by Bolivian whites.
Their living conditions were very poor. They were robbed of their land, and white people drove them into barren mountainous areas. Every year, a large number of Indians died of freezing and starvation due to lack of food.
And once they stand up to resist, disaster awaits them.
It is difficult for Indians here in South America to obtain weapons such as muskets.
Of course, these Indians have no money to buy them.
On the east bank of Lake Titicaca, a horse whistle like a big boy is riding on a horse in traditional Indian costumes.
Behind him were seven or eight Indians dressed like him.
If seen from a distance, they look like ordinary Indian herders.
But if you get closer, you will find that these Indians are armed to the teeth.
They carry an F1853 modified carbine on their backs. This type of gun only has a shortened barrel, and the range is reduced to a certain extent. However, it still maintains the high rate of fire of this gun.
In addition to muskets, their waists were strapped with grenades. They also carried blankets, dry food and other supplies and equipment on their horses.
In order to avoid the Bolivian border patrol, the horse guard led people on a mountain path.
Their target was an Aymara tribe near Abbas.
The Aymara tribe is the largest Indian tribe in Bolivia and was once part of the Inca Empire.
Mashao and the others were one of the Indian groups sent by Zhumu.
They will instigate this tribe to launch an uprising.
This time Bolivia launched almost all its troops to attack Donghua.
They felt that if they could recapture Peru from the East Chinese, they could annex Peru to Bolivia.
If Chile had not launched a war, Peru and Bolivia might still be one country now.
"Husband, you sit in Lima and temporarily stabilize the situation here and restore the economy. I will go to Cusco to resist the Bolivian invasion." The once tall and majestic Peruvian Presidential Palace has now become the palace of the Donghua Kingdom.
The heroic Queen Zhumu is asking her husband for a battle.
"Zhumu, you are a queen, you cannot always lead troops to fight." Dong Shutong was very worried about his wife.
But he is not a soldier at all and can only handle political affairs in the rear.
Tian Fang just sent people to report that Iquitos had been captured.
This is good news. It means that the whole of Peru belongs to Donghua.
The only bad news is that a large number of white Peruvians have fled to Ecuador and Colombia.
Moreover, both countries began to recruit large numbers of troops and gathered in the border areas.
Dong Shutong has collected a large number of newspapers from neighboring countries in the past few days. They all refer to Donghua as an Indian rebel.
They even exaggerated Donghua’s revenge on the white people.
There are a lot of exaggerated elements in it.
Jose also established a government-in-exile in Ecuador.
He is also calling on all white countries in South America to unite to suppress Donghua.
Dong Shutong understood that the Donghua Kingdom he and Zhumu established was like sitting on the crater of a volcano.
He was surrounded by a pack of wolves, and no one was his ally.
Fortunately, the Renaissance Army still supports us. But the Renaissance Army is too far away and the enemy is too close.
They must survive the enemy's first counterattack.
The first to bear the brunt is Bolivia.
Fortunately, Chile has just occupied the Atcatama region and is now digesting it, and has not yet sent troops to Donghua.
Maybe they want to see what happens after Bolivia sends troops and then make plans.
"Shu Tong, to solve the problem in Bolivia, Indians are the key. There are the largest number of Indian compatriots there. Only when I go there can all the Indians stand up."
"Moreover, as long as we defeat this Bolivian army, we may be able to expand our strategic space." Zhumu explained.
This time the Bolivian army came out in full force. If Zhumu defeated this army head-on.
Then with the help of the Indian rebel army behind Bolivia, it is very likely that they will be able to take over the entire Bolivia.
This war is really risky, but the benefits are huge.
"Let's do this. I will discuss with Minister Cai and recruit some troops from Chinatown for you. In addition, Uncle Liu and I will also come over to give you the Marine Corps of the Renaissance Army stationed in Chinatown. As long as they change into our Dong
Just the uniforms of the Chinese army will be fine." Dong Shutong said.
Zhumu knew that her husband was worried about him. In fact, Lima was not safe here either, and it also needed military guarding.
The enemy may come over from the sea at any time.
Originally, the Peruvian navy followed Jose to Ecuador.
They may come back at any time.
Fortunately, the Chinese merchant ships that were previously blocked in the port due to the war have now been released.
Dong Shutong is now gradually restoring Donghua's trade with the outside world.
Not just trade with China, but also trade with Europeans.
It was just that European countries united and began to impose an arms embargo on Donghua.
Donghua had no way to purchase war supplies through them.
It will be several months before the supplies for the Renaissance Army arrive.
It was Cai Qiming who finally came up with the idea to send the Renaissance Army's merchant ships north to California.
It is now also Chinese territory.
And industrialization has already taken place in California.
The output of steel is not low, and it also has certain weapons manufacturing capabilities.
Donghua can even hire a mercenary army from Yangtze Security to help him fight.
Now that the Nanyang Navy is still in Lima, the small coastal countries do not dare to do anything to the ships of the Renaissance Army.
Three days later, Zhumu led a Chinese army of about 10,000 people south from Lima. The main force of this army was naturally the Marine Corps that came ashore.
Some of the others were former Chinatown militiamen, and some were newly recruited Chinese.
There are still about 30,000 Donghua troops in the south.
Basically they are a mixed group of Chinese and Indians.
In this way, after Zhumu reaches the south, he will probably be able to mobilize an army of 40,000 people.
Consider that there is a regiment of Renaissance Marines in the team.
These people were all veterans who had experienced many battles, and their weapons and equipment were more advanced. Dong Shutong felt a lot more relieved.
Now Donghua is surrounded by enemies, and there are still some remnants of enemies in the country that need to be eliminated. While heavy troops are stationed in the north and south, the borders of the eastern rainforest area cannot be relaxed.
The Acre region of later Brazil is still under the control of Bolivia.
It directly borders the Hedong area of Donghua.
To the north, the Iquitos region borders Brazil and Colombia.
Judging from this situation, Bolivia is currently Donghua's most difficult enemy.
Now because of the war, Donghua has to maintain an army of 100,000 people. This is extremely uncomfortable for Donghua, which has a population of only more than one million.
Many mines had to suspend operations, and some estates had no one to farm.
Dong Shutong has no solution for these problems for the time being.
After all, survival is the most important thing to Donghua.
"Government, you don't have to worry so much. My report was sent back using a fast communication ship. It should have been in the hands of the president by now. I believe the president will make the necessary arrangements." In Donghua's palace, I came to talk to him.
Cai Qiming, who met with Dong Shutong, was relieved.
However, he also knew that domestic supplies and supplies could not be rushed over in more than a month like a communication ship.
Including the preparation time, it will take three months at the earliest for Donghua to receive the first batch of material aid from the Renaissance Army.
Fortunately, the Peruvian government still has a lot of supplies in reserve.
Peru is originally a country rich in products, with grain and minerals being its export products.
The Donghua Army obtained a lot of inventory materials when they regained various places.
Even if there is no food output for the time being, the Donghua Army does not have to worry about going hungry.
Just resting on your laurels like this will always make people feel worried.
"Well, thank you very much, Minister Cai. We don't care about the supplies now. We must stop this first wave of encirclement and suppression."
Thus began the first South American War.
On the southern front, Bolivia sent 50,000 troops, and Queen Zhumu of Donghua personally commanded an army of 40,000 to resist.
The 70,000-strong Ecuadorian, Colombian, and Venezuelan coalition forces in the north were divided into east and west routes and pressed toward the Donghua border.
Donghua Army Commander-in-Chief Tian Fangshuai's 50,000 troops were stationed in the north to resist the attack of the Three Kingdoms armies.
Compared with the fierceness on the southern front, the fighting intensity on the northern front was much lower.
The Bolivian army on the southern front marched from the west shore of Lake Titicaca and once occupied three cities in Donghua.
They didn't know that they had fallen into the Donghua Army's plan to lure the enemy deeper into the area.
When they attacked the city of Puno, the Southern Route Army led by Zhumu suddenly broke out and caught the Bolivian army by surprise.
At this time, those Indian groups that went deep into the back of Bolivia also successfully encouraged the local Indians to break out in revolution.
Ma Shao's team successfully persuaded an Indian tribe of several thousand people southwest of La Paz.
With the help of Ma Shao and several others, they captured the town of Biacha, seized the weapons of the town police station and patrol team, and armed these Indians.
Indian riots broke out across Bolivia.
Those Indian groups that went deep behind enemy lines publicized Donghua's policies to the local tribes.
How can Indians resist the temptation of land?
The lure of the land outweighed the fear of the white man.
The successive victories further inspired them to stand up and resist.
Bolivia's rear defenses are now empty, and the only remaining troops are still stationed in major cities such as La Paz.
Those small towns only had a few policemen or patrol teams, and they couldn't resist the swarming Indians.
The resentment that had been accumulated in the hearts of the Indians for many years was finally released.
After the Indian rebels passed by, those small towns were emptied of white people.
Even the mixed-race Indians who usually depend on the white man are not immune.
At this time, the Bolivian army on the front line had been surrounded by the Donghua Army.
Relying on a Marine Corps assault with all the equipment of the Renaissance Army, the Bolivian army, which originally had average combat capabilities, finally collapsed.
They fled along the road on the south bank of Lake Titicaca, and the cavalry of the Donghua Army followed them.
In the end, very few soldiers were able to escape back to Bolivia.
Zhumu led his troops to the gates of La Paz without ceremony.
However, it is not so easy to capture this city with a dangerous terrain.
The Bolivians knew the current situation. President Linares quickly excluded the envoys from leaving the city to seek peace.
According to the plan discussed in advance by Donghua, Zhumu accepted Bolivia's peace proposal.
The two sides signed an armistice agreement, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped.
According to this agreement, Bolivia had to pay Donghua a compensation of five million taels of silver, and at the same time cede the Acre region on the northern Amazon plain to Donghua.
In addition, Bolivia must protect the rights and interests of the Indians in its territory, accede to the demands of the Indians, and allow these Indians to govern themselves on their own land, or choose to live in Donghua.
Today, Donghua does not lack land, but it lacks people. Several Donghua executives feel that there is no need to occupy so much land for the time being.
Zhumu is preparing to evacuate most of the Bolivian Indians to Donghua territory.
The Acre region alone could house millions of people.
You must know that it is a plain area suitable for farming and rich in rubber.
The reason why Bolivia is not destroyed is because Donghua currently does not have the ability to extend the front line too long.
Bolivia is located in the center of South America, bordering Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Chile. If Donghua occupied it now, the strategic situation would be very unfavorable.
After this war, Bolivia was basically ruined. Not only did it have no money, but it also had no people.
In the short term, Bolivia will not be able to launch another attack on Donghua.
And Donghua also got the population and wealth he wanted.
