After listening to De Bescola's suggestion, Don Juan Jose was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "I think so too... But I'm not sure yet.

Will the fleet suddenly transport a large number of landing troops to Acapulco or Colima while I am concentrating my forces to destroy the Garching Army?"

Debescola thought about it seriously and said: "Your Highness the Regent, it depends on how much time you need to destroy King Jiaqing's army... As far as I know, the total number of warrior troops owned by King Jiaqing

But there are about 10,000 people. How much time do you need to defeat them?"

Don Juan Jose laughed, "To be honest, I'm not sure whether I can defeat them... But one thing I'm sure of is that the battle between the two sides will not last long. There is a high probability that it will happen within a day.

To determine the winner, it may last until the next day, but it won’t be any longer.”

In this era, the army's field battles would not last long. A battle involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people would often determine the winner within a day or a few days.

During this period of time, it was impossible for the large fleet in Kinmen Bay to go south to Acapulco or Colima. Even if the Ming Dynasty's large fleet left Kinmen Bay ahead of schedule, it would not be possible to complete the landing operation within a few days - go

It is quite easy to march by sea, but landing is more troublesome. It is impossible to land at a port heavily guarded by the enemy. You can only find a beach near the port to land, not too far or too close.

If it is too far, the landing force will have to walk many roads to capture the target port, and it will be difficult to obtain their own logistical supplies. Before seizing the port, all they can rely on is beachhead supplies. If the supply beach is too far from the front line, there will be

Transportation is another problem.

Of course, it won't work if it's too close. The troops who have just landed on the beach are relatively fragile and can easily be killed by the enemy on the beach. If the landing site is too close to the enemy's fortress, it will be very dangerous. Previously, the Spaniards were in Kinmen

The landing on the peninsula beach was purely to cooperate with the navy's sneak attack, and the effect was not satisfactory.

"If it only takes a few days, then the defenses at the two important ports of Acapulco and Colima are sufficient." De Bescola said, "After the Battle of Golden Gate Bay, we have strengthened the defenses there.

, even if it is attacked by the enemy's large fleet, it will not fall in a short time. And it is not close to Mexico City. Even if it falls, the enemy will not reach Mexico City quickly."

Acapulco and Colima are both ports that the Spanish have worked hard for many years, and the terrain is very dangerous. They are surrounded by mountains and a bay, and the entrance to the bay is very narrow. The entrance to Acapulco Bay is about six meters wide.

The entrance to Colima's harbor is very narrow, less than half a mile, and it's basically impossible to get in if you block the entrance.

Moreover, the Spanish built forts at the entrances of the two harbors, protected the city with city walls, and stationed heavy troops. They stationed 5,000 troops in Acapulco and 3,000 troops in the very small Colima.

.

These 8,000 people are not the knights of Count Iturbide, but the regular New Spanish Legion! Most of the officers are from Europe, half of the soldiers are also from Europe, and the rest are native whites. The officers among them are all nobles.

At least they are knights, and the soldiers have also received a promise from Don Juan Jose. When their term of service expires, they can all be knighted and receive estates - New Spain has a large territory, and they also rule countless people.

He is an Indian, so he still has the conditions to become a knight.

Don Juan Jose finally made up his mind, nodded and said: "Count, I am going to personally lead 30,000 of the most elite soldiers of the Kingdom of New Spain to fight against the invading army of the Kingdom of Jiaqing.

I hope you can attack with me and serve as my temporary adviser...After all, you have spent a long time with those Asians and understand their strange way of thinking."

DeBesco stood at attention and said, "It is my greatest honor to be able to follow His Royal Highness the Regent!"

...

The footsteps rumbled and seemed to never stop. From top to bottom, there seemed to be only one thought, move forward! move forward! move forward!

The warriors of Jiaqing Kingdom were crowded on the narrow and primitive road. Everyone was carrying their own weapons, armor, twenty days of rations, and some miscellaneous things, and weighed dozens of kilograms!

The troops rolled forward like an iron stream. After walking out of the Sonora Desert, these troops, who had traveled more than a thousand miles, had no intention of slowing down at all. They rushed straight to the Port of Guaymas like flying, once again

It caught New Spain off guard.

The small number of knights and militiamen guarding the port of Guaymas didn't even know what was happening, but they were attacked by more than 10,000 heavily armed Gyeongju warriors.

After taking the castle, Jiaqing King Zhu Cihuan left Naomi Hoshina and hundreds of lightly wounded and sick people to guard the port, waiting for supplies to arrive. He led the main force to move forward. Because he could not wait for supplies, Zhu Cihuan's main force left Gua.

In front of the port of Imas, he took the corn flour stored in the port warehouse by the New Spaniards and made millions of steamed buns, taking them with him on the road.

More than 10,000 people galloped all the way south. When they were tired, they would rest on the roadside, and when they were hungry, they would eat steamed buns. Although they were tired and miserable, no one said a word, and their morale was getting higher day by day!

Their Los Angeles (Angel City) household registration will soon become a Mexican household registration. Can their morale be high?

It is true that this Angel City (Los Angeles) will be a good place in later generations, but now it is a miserable and dry place!

The climate, water and soil of Angel Castle and Gyeongju City are not as good as those of the relatively humid areas in the Sonora Desert!

After leaving the Sonora Desert, the climate, water and soil became even more nurturing. Wherever the army passed, it was green. From time to time, Indian farmers sowing corn could be seen on both sides of the road - white people and Indo-European mixed blood.

The news that Jiaqing's army had invaded was lost, and the towns and manors that could be burned were also burned. However, the local Indian villages still did whatever they needed to do... It was nothing more than replacing a group of people to collect them.

Just corn!

Seeing this group of hard-working Indian farmers, the Jiaqing warriors became energetic again... These are all the barbarians among the "Xiajun barbarians"!

With them, the samurai master is the real master who does not have to do farm work but can still eat steamed buns!

If you work hard now, your children and grandchildren will have enough to eat!

Of course Zhu Cihuan was also very excited. Although he was born in an imperial family, his life was really not easy! He was captured by Li Zicheng when he was very young and was taken as a prisoner. He finally escaped and was inexplicably involved in the "conspiracy to seize the legitimate son."

", became a person that the eldest brother Zhu Cixiang was afraid of. Even if he was granted the title of a county king, he would not have any glory or wealth. Later, because of the failure of stock trading, he had to flee to New Zealand to avoid debts. By chance, he was killed by a group of Japanese samurai who had no future for wealth and wealth.

He held the position of king of a country.

But Jiaqing is poor!

He, the king of a country, is also a poor king. He has not lived a happy life for more than ten years.

Of course, these poor men and poor people in the Jiaqing Kingdom were not willing to suffer poverty all their lives, so they set their sights on New Spain next door early on.

They don't even think about the rich Mexican Valley. They think about it in vain... The Kingdom of Jiaqing has such a small population, how can it eat the Mexican Valley? Even if they succeed for a while and attack in, they will leave after grabbing a handful.

According to Zhu Cihuan's thoughts, he would be satisfied as long as he had Sozhou (Sonora), Xizhou (Sinaloa), Nazhou (Nayatri) and hundreds of thousands of Indians to rule for him.

This goal now seems to be achieved soon!

But he also knows the truth about long nights and long dreams. The variables are not only the Spaniards, but also the gang of profiteers in the United States... That's why he led the army to rush forward day and night. Now he just wants to occupy more territory, and the more he takes, the better.
