Chapter 236 Guild (4)
Pei Qin threw the bright red handkerchief that had wiped the sword on the ground, and then looked at the group of Crandy people captured by the soldiers under his command, and felt very upset. There were so many Crandy people, and they couldn't kill them no matter how hard they were.
Now the main force has returned from Cordoba and retreated to the Santa Fe area for rest, waiting for the local ships to come and transport the spoils back. Cordoba is a city established in 1573, with a large population and a prosperous business. It is a major transportation route between La Plata and Peru and Chile. Before the full war with the East Coast people, the Spaniards were even transporting silver bars to Santa Fe through Cordoba and then transporting them back to China by ship to avoid the many greedy pirates on the Caribbean Sea who were staring at the Spanish treasure fleet.
In addition to the prosperity of business, Santa Fe also produces high-quality wheat, fruits and cowhides, with the highest yields in the entire Tucummann province, and even surpasses the Spanish city of Santiago del Estro, the oldest colony in La Plata. Such a rich city, after being captured by more than 6,000 east coast soldiers like tigers and wolfs, was immediately wiped out and no longer the prosperity that was famous for the past.
Although the peace agreement signed between the East Coast and Spain clearly stated that the East Coast government should return the property of Spanish civilians or merchants illegally obtained in the war. But both sides knew that this article was not possible at all serious implementation. Who had seen that he would spit out the fat meat he had swallowed? What's more, everyone knows that this agreement was actually just a trick. Its real meaning was that the East Coast people exported a large amount of weapons and military funds to the Spanish government in the name of returning the materials plundered in the war to compensate the territory east of the Uruguay River. Therefore, the Spanish were destined not to seek back their own things from the hands of the group of Qiuba of the East Coast.
Besides, the Crandi people have launched a massive uprising in most areas of La Plata, and a large number of white settlers have been expelled or killed. Now if these Spanish farmers, ranchers and ordinary farmers who fled to Tucuman and Cuyo provinces want to return to their own land, they must first wipe out the huge Crandi uprising army. And today, when the Spanish army's strength has been severely weakened, it is obviously impossible to do without the help of the East Coast people. This is actually the reason why the Spanish Kingdom government is willing to give up many rights in the South Patagonia region. Compared with the rich La Plata, what is the bitter and cold land of Southern Patagonia? However, in this way, the Spanish who have the desire for the East Coast will obviously not be able to retrieve their own property.
However, when it comes to the extermination of the Crandi rebels, the East Coast people did not have any foreign workers. Under the urging of the Spanish, they cleared out several Crandi rebels active near Cordoba with resolute and powerful military actions, and then led some Spanish troops who were heading south from Jujuy and crushed the Crandi people together.
In the central region, Pei Qin, who was left behind, also received instructions from his superiors to destroy the Crandy rebel army. After holding a banquet to hunt dozens of Crandy uprising leaders, he sent his soldiers to quickly defeat them and captured thousands of Crandy uprising soldiers. After signing the guarantee agreement, all of these people were shipped by the East Coast to South Africa, New China and Australian colonies, as the pioneers of the local pioneers.
After doing this, Pei Qin found that the orders of his superiors had changed in recent times, so he decisively reduced the frequency of his troops' attacks. At the same time, he tried to drive away the Crandy people as much as possible, replacing the previous strategy of killing them. It happened that the Crandy people were also scared by the thunder methods of more than 8,000 East Coast officers and soldiers on the entire front. Some small and medium-sized uprising organizations were finally able to listen to the "admonition" of the East Coast people in the face of cruel killings. They led their teams and some cattle and sheep, and were divided into three groups under the guidance of the East Coast cavalry:
Go south to the outer area of Blanca Port, which is remote and desolate, and there is almost no sign of the Spaniards on weekdays. It is not a problem to use it to resettle some rebels and their families. At the same time, these people may also provide some urgent labor for the East Coast government. The second route goes east across the Parana River and hides in the swamp on the west bank of the Uruguay River, which is densely covered with forests. The terrain here is complex, so it is difficult for the Spaniards to wipe out them, so that they can grow and grow.
The above two routes have one common advantage, that is, they are backed by the support of the East Coast people, so that they can persist for a long time. In addition to these two routes, the third route is to raise their families to the Port of Buenos Aires, which is currently controlled by the Guards Corps of the East Coast Executive Committee. They will wait for ships to go to the East Coast to move to the East Coast colony to start over.
As the East Coast Army clearance deepened, and more and more Spanish musketeers were transferred from Chile and Peru to La Plata, the living space of the Crandi uprising army was greatly compressed, and the number of people was also involved from more than 200,000 people at its peak. At the most, the Crandi uprising broke out in the 1750s. Later, it was basically mobilized by the Spanish to kill less than 100,000 people. Moreover, after the tough elements were killed, the remaining Crandi uprising army was basically frightened. At this time, their feverish minds gradually calmed down and their attitude began to soften. More and more people planned to follow the instructions of their former supporters behind the scenes, the East Coast people, and go to various places in three directions.
As for the remaining good things, the Crandy Rebels who were determined to stay in La Plata, the East Coast people could only let them down and immediately beat them if they were caught, because now these Crandy hard-working elements are completely hated by the East Coast people. For them, the East Coast people and the Spanish are all enemies, imperialism, and they are all targets of attack.
Hundreds of soldiers from Pei Qin's troops defeated such a Crandy rebel army last week. These Crandy people, who were starving, wanted to attack the westward brigade station on the east coast to seize food and supplies. As a result, the robbers who only know how to rob and do not do anything about production were immediately collapsed after being fired by volleys and cannons, and then were captured by hundreds of East Coast soldiers.
Pei Qin didn't know what to do about these people. Be imprisoned, you have to take care of the food. If you kill them, it would be a pity to hand them over to the Spanish? Then what is the difference between killing them! Now that the war has ended, according to the withdrawal plan agreed by both sides, the Westward Adventure Station must be handed over to the Spanish by June 15th, Santa Fe and Correntez must be handed over to the Spanish by the end of August until November 10th, and Buenos Aires will also be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain. Before December 31, 1649, the East Coast Republic will evacuate the last soldier stranded in the Kingdom of Spain, and the entire territory of La Plata will be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain.
The withdrawal date was getting closer and closer. Pei Qin was also in trouble with the seven or eight hundred Crandi people captured. After he planned to disperse all of these people, these were the trouble of the Spaniards. The latest order from the local army department has arrived, ordering him to send people to the port of Santa Fe in the rear, and then transport the ships of the South China Sea Transport Company to Xingnan Port in South Patagonia and hand them over to the South China Railway Company for disposal. If nothing unexpected happens, these Crandi people will use their own hands to build roads and railways for them until the end of their lives under the supervision of the soldiers of the South China Railway Company's road protection team.
Since the East Coast and the Spanish army joined forces to deal with the Crandi people on April 12, more than 50,000 Crandi people have been destroyed in less than two months in just under two months. At least one fifth of these people were transported back to the domestic iron ore, coal mine, construction site, railway, road, town, forest farm, and slave workers with almost no freedom. According to the East Coast government's usual cruel policy towards the indigenous people, these people have almost no possibility of survival. Like those construction materials and construction tools, they are just consumables.
As for those Crandy rebels who were scared by the East Coast and surrendered, the fate was much better. Some of them settled in the Blanca Port in the south, while others settled on the edge of forest swamps on the west bank of the Uruguay River. In addition, there were people who started overseas colonies on the east coast to obtain colonial status in a few years, and their descendants could even obtain East Coast nationality. Of course, their household registration was in overseas colonies. Although life was still difficult, it was much better than those comrades who were arranged to work and die in black coal mines. What is the difference between such a life and when they were under the Spanish?
In late June, Pei Qin arrived at Port Santa Fe with the last batch of supplies and personnel of the West Envoy Station. After they left, Peruvian Indian soldiers coming from Cordoba immediately took over the place. This incident indicated that after the Spaniards worked hard and also had the East Coast people abided by the treaty and "strongly" help, they finally restored order in the northwest of La Plata. Cordoba, Tucuman, and Salta, who were almost in danger of conserving the sun,
Nearly ten cities in two provinces, including La Rioja, Jujuy, Mendoza, San Juan, etc., finally obtained most of the most preservation in front of the aggressive East Coast Army and the amazing Crandy Rebel Army. Not only that, they have now pacified the situation in the northwest of La Plata with the assistance of a large number of musketeers and cavalry dispatched from Peru and Chile, as well as the mobilized white, Mestiso white and indigenous mixed-race militias.
For them, it is not a big deal for other areas of La Plata to be in chaos. The three provinces of Cuyo, Tucuman and Paraguay are the essence of the entire La Plata. If the order in these places is maintained, La Plata will make a comeback, otherwise there would be no way to talk about anything.
Pei Qin didn't know what to do about these people. Be imprisoned, you have to take care of the food. If you kill them, it would be a pity to hand them over to the Spanish? Then what is the difference between killing them! Now that the war has ended, according to the withdrawal plan agreed by both sides, the Westward Adventure Station must be handed over to the Spanish by June 15th, Santa Fe and Correntez must be handed over to the Spanish by the end of August until November 10th, and Buenos Aires will also be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain.
