Chapter 107 Where the thief can go, I can go too (Second update, please subscribe, please support)
Some are happy, some are sad!
General Rodriguez is very depressed!
Because he had not seen the Indian chief since he surrendered, he and his men were disarmed and then detained, and they waited for a whole day.
It was not until the next morning that General Rodriguez and others woke up to the deafening shouts. He was locked in the house and heard the shouts of the Indians outside.
Although he did not speak any Indian language, a second lieutenant who was imprisoned in the same room and had obvious mixed-race features spoke Mapuche.
"What are they talking about?"
“They, they…”
The lieutenant's expression became somewhat uneasy, and he looked at the general and murmured:
"General, they, they are going to attack Santiago!"
What!
Instantly, General Rodriguez's face suddenly changed, and he even felt a little dizzy. As the planner of the Araucania expedition plan, he knew very well what Santiago was like now.
Nothing at all!
"How could they do this? How dare they attack Santiago!"
General Rodriguez shouted in horror. The thing he was most worried about finally happened.
"General, Santiago..."
Major Carlos said in horror.
"There is no army there. Now, from the Biobio River to Santiago, it is a naked ***..."
The major's words made General Rodriguez even more depressed and even a little uneasy. He knew without thinking what would happen if these barbaric Mapuche people crossed the Bio-Bio River - they would kill men, rob women, and rob everything they could!
"Oh my God! My wife and daughter are still in Chillán!"
Chillán, on the road to Santiago! A lieutenant colonel screamed in terror.
"Those damned savages will take them away. Oh, God! We are doomed!"
At this moment, boundless fear enveloped all of them. As officers, they were not mixed-race farmers or Indian paupers. They all had their own families, and some of them even had their own estates.
Everyone knew what those barbarians would do if they arrived at their doorstep!
"Mapuche, Mapuche, I want to see your chief, I want to see your chief..."
The next moment, General Rodriguez was shouting through the iron bars, yelling at the Mapuche guards outside the window.
No, we must stop those damn Indians.
They must be stopped!
August 29, 1861, according to the old almanac, is a good day for an expedition...
Well, actually this was written by Zhu Xianhai.
The mighty army set out again, and like all previous Mapuche expeditions, they did not bring much food, just enough dried meat and corn tortillas for three to five days at most.
What to eat after you finish eating?
Of course, they will be eaten by the enemy.
They would sweep across the Pampas like a whirlwind, and this time they would sweep across the entire central mountain range.
“Soldiers, the gate to Santiago is now open to us. For the glory of our ancestors and for the land that belongs to us, march forward!”
The chiefs shouted to the tribal warriors in Mapuche and the Mapuche people on horseback all raised their spears excitedly. After an unprecedented victory, they were eager to win new victories under the leadership of the king. Many of them have now completely become the king's "fans". It is certain that with a few more victories, King Juda's prestige in Araucanía will reach its peak.
"March! March, follow the king's footsteps!"
As the Mapuche warriors shouted, yelled, and rode off on their horses, General Rodriguez finally met the chief of the legendary "Orchid Tribe".
"My dear chief, you have won the war. My soldiers were washed away by the flood. I have been defeated..."
General Rodriguez still sounded a little conceited when he spoke. Until now, he believed that he was defeated by "the power of nature" rather than the Indians.
"You should know very well that it was nature that defeated me, not you. You must understand what it means when you lead the Mapuche people across the Bio Bio River. The Bio Bio River is the Rubicon River in Chile. Any Indian crossing this river means destruction and all-out war!"
"The Rubicon..."
Zhu Xianhai suppressed his smile and stared at General Rodriguez coldly.
Perhaps other people do not know what the Rubicon River is, but Zhu Xianhai knows it very well - in 49 BC, after Caesar unified the entire Gaul, he was preparing to cross the Rubicon River to enter Rome. At that time, Roman law stipulated that no commander could cross the Rubicon River with his troops, otherwise it would be a betrayal of Rome.
From then on, "Rubicon" came to mean "no way out" in the West.
What was General Rodriguez talking about that river? It was a threat, a threat to him that if the Indians crossed that river, it would be like Caesar crossing the Rubicon.
"Rubicon..."
Zhu Xianhai smiled coldly.
"The die is cast!"
Well!
In an instant, General Rodriguez was dumbfounded. This Indian actually knew this allusion.
This is what Caesar said when he crossed the river. This sentence, which has been passed down through the ages, means "the dice has been cast, and that's it." It means that the mind has been made up, there is no turning back, and there is no way back. Finally, Caesar led his army across the Rubicon River and entered Rome, and took the first step to conquer Europe and establish the Roman Empire.
Is this barbarian comparing himself to Caesar?
It's absolutely ridiculous!
"Chief, Chief, aren't you afraid of provoking the anger of the Chileans?"
“Fight back!”
Zhu Xianhai said.
"More than three hundred years ago, white people came to this land. You occupied one piece of land after another. The Indians can only move around in the circle you have drawn. Why do you have the right to make the rules and invade our land? Aren't you afraid of provoking our anger? General!"
Looking at General Rodriguez, Zhu Xianhai sneered. It was impossible to convince these white people by simply reasoning, and they didn't know how to reason.
Of course, the more important point is that he is really not afraid of the anger of the Chileans!
For him, the throne alone is not enough.
As an outsider, if he wants to firmly control the Mapuche people and make them submit to him, he can only be shameless. He does not need to establish political correctness here, but also has to resort to moral kidnapping!
What is this political correctness?
It must be eating, sleeping, and robbing white people!
Crossing the Bio-Bio River would certainly arouse the anger of Chile, and only in this way could the Mapuche be tied to the chariot of Nanhua.
Cross the Bio Bio River!
There is indeed no way out!
The Mapuche and the Chileans were like this. From now on, the Chileans and the Mapuche would fight to the death, and from now on, the Mapuche would have no way out.
From then on, the Mapuche were just a part of the South China chariot.
"We will definitely cross the Bio-Bio River. We want to tell you that today the situation has been reversed."
Staring at General Rodriguez, Zhu Xianhai said in a loud voice:
"If the thief can come, I can go too!"
I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
