Chapter 208 Landing from the north to the south!
On August 20, 1864, the weather in Mexico was so hot, but even so, there was a group of people who didn't care at all.
"Woola! Woola!"
These people are Indians. Their upper body is almost completely unclothed. Although they will get darker, they are cooler.
"Lieutenant Booth, how long does it take to transport all the Indians?" Yang Willie looked at the situation in front of him. The Indians were riding their horses there in a mess, and they had some headaches.
"General Yang, we will need at least a week." Booth has been promoted to a higher level, but he has heard more about Yang Willie's words.
"Oh, try to speed up!" Yang Willie was not very satisfied, but fortunately, the situation in Mexico at this time was very good for the Imperial Army.
"yes-private!" Booth went down to do his business.
Yang Weili looked at the sea in the distance, where there were only a few ships on it, and these ships were transporting the Indian army, including the main warships under Yang Weili.
There are indeed very few, which requires warships to transport soldiers back and forth multiple times, so time will naturally be delayed, but fortunately, the local situation in Mexico is much better than originally expected!
At this time, the place where Yang Willie is located is Guaimas, which is a good port. Of course, this is based on the natural geographical conditions. The good thing is that when the Imperial army arrived, there was no effective resistance in the local area. It can even be said that this place is similar to the Mexicoli that Yang Willie had captured before.
It's like a land without development, everything seems so primitive. Of course, this place has Spanish and mixed-race descendants of their Incas, but it really has a very poor development, very poor one.
Judging from the previous overall information, the population of Mexico is at least millions, but there is no specific data. The empire even does not know how many cities there are in Mexico and what the specific terrain is. It only knows some famous places, that's all.
To be honest, from the perspective of war, it is more risky to fight with such intelligence situations, but it is said that the reason why the intelligence is so unbearable is that it really cannot find too much information!
It sounds speechless, but it is the fact that, and now, this situation just makes the empire's shortcomings, that is, the situation where the number of ships in the transport ships is insufficient, has been compensated to the greatest extent. In other words, there is no need to pay attention to this matter at all. The Mexicans will not attack us anyway, and their combat effectiveness is too poor and vulnerable.
Back to the intelligence issue, Yang Willie developed a relationship. As for everything he saw now, it was probably because Mexico's western coast had not developed at all, and the Spanish probably had paid attention to this place!
I'm afraid this is the only reason that can explain everything in front of you.
So put it this way...
Is Your Majesty the Emperor really a man of destiny?!
Otherwise, how can I explain that every time His Majesty captured him, he was so smooth?
Willie Yang couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
At the same time, in Puerto Vallarta, south of Mexico's western coastline, His Majesty Li Mengyang, actually fell into the same confusion as Yang Willie.
Login is so smooth!
There was almost no resistance. If a few people sprayed twice with gunpowder guns, it would be called resistance.
The West Bank of Mexico has not developed at all!
Li Mengyang didn't know what happened to DuPont in advance at this time, but I think that my strategic arrangement was a bit redundant. If Mexico's western coastline was like this, then it would be useless.
There is really nothing we can do about this, because we know too little about the situation, terrain, humanities, and all aspects of this area, and we have very little information. And even in history, Li Mengyang, a time traveler, doesn't know much about it.
So in this way, is it that the history of this place is not much?
Li Mengyang couldn't help thinking like this...
"Your Majesty! It will take us about a week to transport all the soldiers here, but the most difficult problem at the moment is that the soldiers have heat stroke." General Okashi came to report on the situation, and followed by Old Dao Wufeng and others.
"Your Majesty." Old Taoist Wu Feng also spoke, "It's easy to deal with heatstroke. Just ask comrades to prepare more water, but I'm worried that I won't adapt to the local conditions."
If you are not accustomed to the environment, you will vomit and have diarrhea and have a fever. This can affect your combat effectiveness, but the current situation...
"Comrades, do you think we were wrong at the beginning in the current situation?"
Li Mengyang suddenly said this, which made his subordinates very frightened.
"Your Majesty, it's okay for us to be careful." Meng Fanyong was very good at speaking. As a senior official in the army, he was appointed by Li Mengyang to be responsible for political work.
Yes, this is actually equivalent to the political commissar. The ** army before was not equipped with this secret weapon, but now, Li Mengyang thinks it is almost done, so he can try it out, mainly doing ideological work for soldiers. Meng Fanyong, who has experience in this area, has mobilized Chinese workers before.
But Li Mengyang looked at the map and said, "I think my previous judgment was too careful. Now let's take a look, let's re-analyze it."
Li Mengyang began to point to the map and said, "This place of Mexico, this big continent, is Baja California to the west, and this peninsula just blocks the west coast. That means, although this place has a harbor, it is not much value. With the Spanish's nature, their pursuit of wealth is simply useless. They can't even look at the useless places, so it is normal that this place has not developed."
"..." This analysis should be a projection of the current situation. All the generals thought it was nothing, but the emperor Li Mengyang said very well.
"Now, we roughly know that Mexico's population is millions, so there is no development in the west, and the natural population is not large, so more people must be concentrated in the east. Before we contacted, that is, more than a year ago, when the French attacked Mexico, they must have landed in the east! Let's look at the east, where there are Viagra and Merida, these cities are all famous. In addition, Mexico City in the middle, this is the capital, Guanajuato, and this is the Silver Capital. Such places must have a large population. However, these big cities are now under the control of the French."
"Your Majesty, what are you going to say?" Okashi listened to the analysis and seemed to be only targeting the population.
"It's very simple." Li Mengyang suddenly turned his face, "I'm now ordering to organize a division's troops immediately, to form a unit with good physical condition and good work style. This division, which is only three thousand people, takes the existing ships, and enters Guadalajara at the fastest speed!"
"..." The generals who heard this order were stunned at the time!
Because this is very strange, it is somewhat contradictory to the previous strategic deployment. You should know that the army led by the emperor is now facing a problem, that is, there are not enough ships.
There is no way. The Empire used more troops this time, and there were Indian foreign aids. The Empire's shipbuilding industry has not yet risen. California's current level is still average, and the battleship is still in the conceptual stage.
It turned out that it was a plan to transport all the troops over, so you had to wait, and then everyone was moving east steadily, anyway, along the river, until Guadalajara, and then take Queretaro.
But now, this is not a risk, only a unit of 3,000 people, one division. You must know that Guadalajara is now under the control of the French, and that is a big city!
"Your Majesty, this..." Meng Fanyong wanted to ask a few more questions.
"The reason is very simple." Li Mengyang was not angry because after all, this was a big change. He briefly explained, "I judge that Guadalajara is the weakest time point in defense!"
"Oh?" When the generals heard this, it seemed.
"all-hail-lee!" Liszt, who followed, shouted first.
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
OK, everyone understands it, let’s execute it!
Why did Li Mengyang make such a judgment? Why is he so sure? Now is the weakest time for Guadalajara?
In fact, there are two points. The first point is Youma Town!
Didn’t the French army attack the town of Youma before? How did they come?
It is obvious that it should have come from Guadalajara and come along the river.
The second point is the reinforcements of the French army. They came from the Florida Strait, then landed in Veracruz, and came over again. This should be the route.
But you should know that this road is not short. In addition, it can be seen now that Mexico's western population is sparse and the eastern population is large.
Then, as outsiders, the French army must distribute a large number of soldiers to defend and suppress the eastern big cities, the Silver Capital, and Mexico City!
The French army itself is not many, and they only had more than 30,000 people at the beginning. How many people can they be left after being beaten to death?
Besides, how difficult it is to transport troops from Europe these days?
Another point is that the French army has never attacked Juma Town again, nor has it attacked Baja California. Why is this?
It is probably not that Napoleon III did not want to, but that the current French army could not do it at all!
So, if you don’t attack Guadalajara at this time, then when will you wait?
However, someone has a problem.
"Your Majesty, what should I do if I am not accustomed to the local conditions?" The old Taoist Wu Feng paid great attention to details.
Li Mengyang laughed and gave a simple method, "After getting the water, the soldiers must boil the water and drink the water after boiling it. In addition, the food must be cooked, the food must be cooked."
Modern people understand the simple method. Of course, it may not cure the discomfort in the country, but at least it will be much stronger... It seems that we have to strengthen the construction of the sanitary system... Li Mengyang couldn't help but think of the public toilet, his proud work...
