Chapter 1323 Enemies on both sides

Sun Li and others were a little surprised when they heard the Yu. They quickly looked at the military orders and learned that the British and French colonists in the east had entered the territory of Xinshang Company and massacred dozens of villages and towns.

Western powers landed in the Americas more than a hundred years ago because they arrived first. The Spanish occupied the minerals in the Americas, while British and French controlled the plains in the eastern and central Americas.

After they occupied the mines and wealthy land, they looked down on the places they left behind.

Most of the areas controlled by Xinshang Company are now mountainous, which is not conducive to agricultural production. In order to enhance the company's strength, Jiang Jiaren sent people to expand eastward.

The colonial team of Xinshang Company crossed the Rocky Mountains, entered the Great Plains in central America, and established multiple villages and towns. They wanted to engage in agricultural production, but they did not want the colonists to come from the east.

Now the villages established by Xinshang Company are at risk of being destroyed by the colonists, so the company's senior management decided to end the harassment of the Spaniards in the south and prevent a battle from being launched in the east, so that the British and French colonists dare not continue to move westward, so as not to continue to compress the living space of Xinshang Company by the colonists.

Sun Li was a little shocked, "Where are British and French colonists coming to attack us?"

It was already very difficult for Xinshang Company to fight against the Spaniards and was a little overwhelmed. Now two more powerful people came, and the officers' faces became solemn.

"This is not surprising!" Yang Shuye said in a deep voice: "British, France and Spain are originally allies, and we occupy the gold mine, so they must be salivating."

"The Spanish are in the south, Britain and France are in the east, we are just a few people, how can we fight this battle?" Sun Li was a little discouraged.

The officers were also a little discouraged and bowed their heads and said nothing, all of whom felt that the situation was not optimistic.

They arrived in Yinzhou for a year and fought with the colonists almost every day, but there were many colonists, but they fought more and more. However, their battalion brothers reduced nearly 30% of their staff and have not received any domestic supplements so far.

Under such circumstances, Spain already gave the soldiers a headache, and suddenly the colonists of Britain and France appeared again, which made the old soldiers who had been through many battles feel a little desperate.

Yang Shuye felt that his subordinates were in a bad mood and glanced at everyone, "Brothers, we were in the Central Plains, and we borrowed enemies from all sides. The Qing army and the Shun army were not better than us, but didn't we survived it? The difficulties were only temporary. Everyone listened to our orders, clean up, and withdraw the Yindu first.

In order to crack down on new merchants, Jose, the governor of New Spain, offered a sky-high price of 500 Mexican silver coins for every dry man scalp.

This attracted the attention of British colonists on the east coast, as well as French colonizing along the Mississippi River.

The Spanish came early and occupied both gold and silver mines in the Americas. The eastern part of North America was vast, but there were no mines. The British and French colonists in the Americas could only seize the land of the natives, plant some cotton and food, and do some hard work.

No matter what era, farming generally did not make much money. The Spanish opened five hundred silver coins and a dried man scalp, which was very attractive to the British and French colonists.

In addition, the colonial authorities of Britain and France were also drooling about the Kingsoft and Gold Mine, so they acquiesced to the white people in the colony and formed a team to hunt the indigenous people and the Qian people so that the colony could expand westward and obtain more land.

These teams of British and French colonists went westward and entered the controlled area of ​​Xinshang Company, threatening Xinshang Company from the east, constantly attacking Xinshang Company's villages, killing villagers, seriously affecting the production of Xinshang Company and threatening the safety of Xinshang Company.

Therefore, the senior management of Xinshang Company could only order the troops traveling south to harass Spain to return to the base area to fight back the harassment of the colonists.

When Sun Li and others heard the words, they could only stand up and said, "Okay, let's obey the order."

Yang Shuye said in a deep voice: "The Spaniards in the south have recovered their strength. They will not take long to attack again. Now the enemies from the east are just some scattered soldiers and we must defeat them before the Spaniards attack. In this way, we can fight with all our strength when the Spaniards attack."

"Commander, we understand!" Sun Li and others saluted one after another.

Yang Shuye waved his hand, "Go and prepare, and evacuate in an hour."

~~~~~~~

New Spain Governor's District, Mexico City.

The newly appointed governor Jose was the illegitimate son of King Philip IV of Spain. The king trusted him extremely and met his requests.

At this time, outside Mexico City, colonial troops from South America and reinforcements sent from Spain gathered in the barracks and were undergoing training from officers.

A year ago, the Spanish army suffered a crushing defeat in Yindu, with 30,000 troops losing 80,000% of them, and the Governor's area was lost.

However, after Jose arrived in Mexico City, with the support of Philip IV and the strength of the Spanish Empire in the Americas, he quickly reorganized an army of 30,000.

In addition, there are 20,000 new squadrons, who are undergoing training and will soon be able to enter the battlefield.

After the Spanish army failed last time, the Qian people in the north took advantage of the shortage of troops in the New Spain Governor's area and went south to attack the colony, destroying the colony's strongholds, and robbed a large amount of food, livestock, horses and iron tools, causing great losses to the colony.

When Jose first took over the colony, he was almost a mess and could only use a high reward to lure the white people in the British and French colonies, attack the Qianren from the east, restrain the Qianren from continuing to move south, and at the same time, he used the naval advantage to block the Qianren and prevent the Qianren from transporting troops to North America again.

After this combination of punches, he finally achieved results.

Now that he has sufficient soldiers and food, and has allies to help him, Jose feels that it is time to fight back.

At this time, he was wearing a military uniform and a sword hanging around his waist, walking in the barracks, watching the infantry conducting queue drills, observing the artillery to train artillery, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.

"The Xinshang Company was blocked by the empire's navy, and they could not get reinforcements from the Qian Dynasty, and our army, with South America and domestic support, had recovered its combat effectiveness." Jose said to the officers beside him as he walked: "Now our army is unprecedentedly powerful, and I think it's time to teach the Qian people a lesson."'

"His Governor General, Ruguo attacks Xinshang Company, please allow me to be the pioneer and get back the lost dignity." Major Mariluth saluted.

The last time the Spanish army was defeated, Commander Philip was shot dead, and Marilude successfully escaped with thousands of people, but was not punished, but became a hero and promoted to major.

Governor Jose couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction after hearing his words, "Major, I am just thinking that the Imperial army should wash away the shame of defeat."
