Chapter 101: No tears until the coffin is seen (Second update, please subscribe and support)
Awe!
When everything was over, Bagal and others were dumbfounded when they saw the collapsed "Magic Castle" and the twenty or so Chilean soldiers walking out of the "Magic Castle".
This... is this the end?
"Sir..."
Bagal, still a little dazed, seemed to have thought of something. He jumped off his horse in a hurry and bowed deeply in front of Zhu Xianhai.
"Please allow me, Bagal and the Vadese tribe, to be your most loyal servants!"
Once upon a time, in the eyes of the Mapuche people, the fire-breathing "magic castle" was invincible, but now these "Chinese people" coming from the other side of the mountains easily destroyed the "magic castle" like lightning.
The strong... The Mapuche people respect the strong the most!
The Mapuche people, who are born warriors, have always believed in the strong.
In response to Chief Bagar's surrender, Zhu Xianhai of course used kind words to win him over. In addition to words, he also gave them dozens of pieces of cloth and even some weapons, which were of course the weapons seized from the Chileans, namely some muzzle-loading smoothbore rifles.
"Wow, there's a cannon!"
Looking at the weapons handed over by the Chileans, in addition to a variety of muzzle-loading muskets, there was also a six-pound bronze cannon. Of course, this cannon could not be given to them.
To put it bluntly, the reason why the "Devil's Castle" is called "Devil" is that the Mapuche people have no means of attacking and no cannons, so such a broken yard is an indestructible fortress.
Let them ride and ram their spears against the wall?
"Sir, where are we going to fight next?"
Looking at Chief Bagar as if he were an idiot, Zhu Xianhai observed the surrounding terrain and then said.
"Well, now, it's time for them to come here and see me!"
This fortress is a display of Nanhua's strength. Now it is the turn of the tribal chiefs to take the initiative to show their sincerity.
…
Like lightning!
The news that the "Devil's Castle" had been conquered spread throughout Araucania like lightning. The chiefs, who were in a panic due to the massive invasion of Chile, immediately led their most courageous warriors and gifts to Mount Sodiels after repeatedly confirming the news.
The unusual behavior of the Mapuche people certainly attracted the attention of General Rodriguez, especially the "Peace Castle".
The fall of the city was itself a “big event”.
"orchid?"
Again, General Rodriguez asked.
"What tribe is this and who are they?"
"General, we have very limited intelligence about them. We only know that the Orchid tribe comes from the Pampas east of the Andes Mountains and that they are good at using muskets. It seems that their language is also different from that of the Mapuche people in Araucania."
It has to be said that the Chilean intelligence work was very effective. At least they figured out that an "orchid tribe" had come to Araucanía.
"A tribe that is good at using muskets..."
General Rodriguez's brows furrowed.
"Who sold them the guns? Could it be the Argentines?"
"That's very possible, General. Who else could it be but the Argentines?"
Almost subconsciously, they believe that this "Orchid Tribe" is most likely an indigenous tribe supported by Argentina, just as they condoned businessmen buying out the Mapuche people and stealing cattle from Argentina. To put it bluntly, they are also using the Mapuche people to attack the Argentines, and now the Argentines are just copying their homework.
The reason why they did not doubt their judgment was that the people of the "Orchid Tribe" did look not much different from the Mapuche people.
"The chiefs are all heading for Mount Sodiels, aren't they?"
General Rodriguez asked.
"Yes, General,"
Major Carlos said.
"Now, almost all the tribal chiefs are focusing in that direction! It seems that they are preparing to gather their troops."
"Instead of gathering an army, you should obey the call of the powerful!"
General Rodriguez stood up and said proudly.
“This is our chance, maybe we can end the Araucanía problem 20 years early!”
As the planner of the attack on Araucanía, he knew very well what kind of opportunity this was.
The tribal chiefs scattered across Araucanía are all heading to this one place - this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
August 10, 1861.
This day was destined to be a restless one in Araucanía. General Rodriguez, who was originally promoting the "fortress conquest", immediately adjusted the direction of attack and returned to Mount Sodiels.
At the same time, the "Eagle Castle" on Mount Sodiels has become crowded with people. Chiefs from all over the place gathered here. The chiefs came, and the warriors of the tribe came.
There are as many as tens of thousands of people!
The Mapuche people gathered near Eagle Castle came from more than a dozen tribes in Araucania, so all kinds of typical Mapuche people were presented in front of Zhu Xianhai for his observation. Mapuche people are generally tall, with similar appearance and skin color to northern Chinese people. Few of them have beards, and their black hair is mostly neck-length.
Through these two days of observation, Zhu Xianhai found that these men were idle all day long, as if they had nothing to do. They were called warriors, but in fact, they did nothing but rob. In contrast, Mapuche women were very hardworking and were busy with housework all day long, brushing horses and weapons for men, and even plowing and hunting. In addition, they also took time to weave the "tents" that Mapuche people wear on their bodies.
“Human beings…”
Looking at those Mapuche people riding horses and competing in equestrianism in the wilderness, these people have many bad habits, such as being rude and addicted to alcohol, but one thing is certain, they are all very brave.
If used well, this is a card.
When it comes to playing cards, even though I don’t run a card room, I’m still an expert at it!
As long as they make good use of these Mapuche people, it will be wishful thinking for the Chileans to control Araucanía. These Mapuche people are enough to give them a hard time.
However, the most important thing is to make those Mapuche people submit to him. Thinking of the chiefs he met in the past two days, Zhu Xianhai sneered in his heart.
"I still won't cry until I see the coffin!"
They may have come here, and even brought gifts, but they have not yet given the real gifts.
What is the real gift?
Of course it was their surrender, they seemed to be waiting for something.
Just as Zhu Xianhai was thinking this in his heart, Juan ran over in horror and said.
"Master, something big has happened, something big has happened, the Chilean army is heading here!"
Hearing this, Zhu Xianhai was delighted.
OK!
The coffin is here!
I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
