Peruvian mine owners in the west are their main customers.

The conflict between the two sides arose from this. When the manor owners saw that the mine owners had made so much money, they naturally wanted to increase the prices of agricultural products.

But the mine owners think the price they are offering is high enough now.

They have so much land and only pay a small amount of tax every year.

Most of the tax revenue in Peru is contributed by mining farms.

Why should we make so much money for them?

The conflict between the two parties arose from this.

The manor owner used relatively drastic measures to try to raise prices, such as cutting off supply to the mine owners in the west.

Once, these hacienda owners joined forces and doubled the price of grain in Lima, almost leading to unrest.

This made the mining owners in the west feel resentful.

After the rise of Donghua's power, they quickly replaced the manor owners in the east and became the main food supplier to the mine owners in the west by virtue of the natural farming attributes of the Chinese.

Because the cost of transportation is lower, the prices are much more reasonable than those offered by the eastern manor owners. This makes the western mine owners more willing to cooperate with Donghua.

They are also happy to give those manor owners another competitor.

This is one of the reasons why the Peruvian government can tolerate the development of Chinese and Indian forces.

But this is equivalent to cutting off the financial resources of these eastern manor owners.

It is said that cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. This hatred is irreconcilable!

In other words, the conflict between Donghua and these eastern manor owners is irreconcilable.

It’s not like what they grow is for their own consumption. With such a large estate, it’s natural to sell what they produce.

Now that Donghua has disrupted the situation, the business can no longer continue.

This is also one of the main reasons for this war.

All wars in this era can be attributed to conflicts of interest.

War is the most primitive and brutal way to resolve conflicts, and it is also the most direct and effective way.

Donghua was also well prepared. Dong Shutong and Zhumu also felt insecure.

Dong Shutong and other Chinese were living in foreign lands, and many Chinese were liberated from slave labor. They were very afraid of the life of slave labor in the mines.

This also makes them cherish their current life even more, and it is their duty to pick up guns to defend their current life.

Zhumu and her Indians were also oppressed by white people.

In the past, there was no unity among the Indians, and white people often provoked fights among the Indians. Then they stood up and provoked conflicts.

The fertile lands that once belonged to Indian tribes were now occupied by white people.

The Indians could only huddle on the barren plateau.

They are also willing to defend their lives with their lives.

So this time in order to counter the attack of the Lamontagna coalition.

Donghua successfully completed the second expansion of its army. Young Chinese and Indians actively joined the army.

This expedition was led by Tian Fang, and Dong Shutong did not know how to lead troops in war.

But he also brought his wife to Xinxiang, which is located at the frontline base camp.

Here, he and Zhumu will serve as the backing of the soldiers.

Tian Fang brought a total of four infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and the only artillery regiment of the Donghua Army.

The plains here are densely covered with water and there are many swamps and dense forests, which are not very suitable for the deployment of cavalry.

The reason why this cavalry regiment is brought along is mainly to detect the enemy's situation and deliver news.

Just like a horse whistle, he is a squad leader of the cavalry regiment. He and his subordinates are mainly responsible for delivering orders.

Tian Fang's headquarters is also located in Xinxiang. However, he is not prepared to place the battlefield here.

A floating bridge has been built on the Xinxiang River.

A battalion of soldiers tightly guarded the pontoon bridge.

Donghua Army's sentry boats patrolled the river to prevent enemy sneak attacks upstream.

This is all due to the Donghua Army's overestimation of the armed forces of these manor owners.

In fact, these people have no advanced tactics at all.

Just like how they dealt with the Indians, they just pushed forward with large forces.

They thought that these Chinese and Indians would be the same as before, charging at them with short spears, bows and arrows.

Then they fell on the way forward under the volley of line infantry. Then they rushed all the way to these people's villages and robbed their women and property.

But this time they miscalculated. This time they will be greeted by an army that is even sharper than them.

This army inherited the combat ideas of the Renaissance Army.

And the La Montagna coalition army was temporarily put together by the eastern manor owners. It was just put together with the private armed forces of the manor owners.

Such an armed force can only bully the Indians in the jungle.
