Zhao Longcheng was the general with the richest combat experience to the Spanish. He said it was useless, that was really useless, so the plan could only return to the origin. The first priority of the expeditionary fleet was to establish liaison with the Imperial Army dispatched troops in the Nangang area and then take action after the uniting of the army.

Zhao Wenting used the map to introduce the situation of Spain in Chile.

According to Zhao Wenting, the Spanish had three core ruling in the Chile region. The largest city was Santiago, which was also the capital of Chile in later generations. It was a city that had been established for more than 100 years, with more than 10,000 urban residents and the core area of ​​Chile. However, similar to the colonial cities of the Spanish colonists in the Americas, Santiago City was in an inland area more than 250 miles from the coastline.

In fact, Lima City is an exception. Most of the Spanish towns are inland, especially large cities. Only inland plateau areas are suitable for large-scale human survival in this era.

Santiago has an outer port, Valparaiso, which is a very small port. The local population is only 700 or 800 troops. It will only flourish during the September trade season every year.

Another stronghold is Concepcion, located in the middle of Chile, at the mouth of the Biobio River. This is a military center in Chile. Because this port follows the Biobio River, it is the territory of the Mapuche people who have not yet conquered the Spanish and were forced to sign a peace agreement. Concepcion's existence is to prevent these Indians who have become semi-nomads from becoming pirates again.

Therefore, Concepcion has the most complete fortress facilities and powerful defenders in the Chilean region.

In southern Chile there is a port in Valdivia, deep in the estuary of the river. This city is not only the core of the conquered areas in southern Chile, but also the Spanish naval base in the southernmost part of the sea. Its main defense is the pirates from the Atlantic Ocean, because it produces hardwood and has the only ability to build ships.

The three cities of Santiago, Concepcion and Valdivia are also three difficulties that the Expeditionary Fleet must make.

Santiago, Mendoza and Cordoba are a pack horse avenue that can establish liaison with the Imperial Army in the South Port area, while the capture of the Concepcion area can obtain abundant food supplies and contact the possible Allied forces - the Mapuche.

"San Diego and Valdivia are the primary goals, and finally Concepcion." This time, Li Junwei did not give anyone a chance to argue, but made a choice himself.

Of course, Santiago is important. The expeditionary fleet goes south to cooperate with the army. If you can't win Santiago, you can't talk about the alliance. Valdivia is also very important. The Spanish fleet command system makes the expeditionary fleet lose the opportunity to separate and annihilate the Spanish fleet. Then, the expeditionary fleet does not have the advantage of strength.

If the Lima fleet is in full battle, in order to win, the Expeditionary Fleet must be modified and transformed into battleships into battleships. Only in this way can it compete with it.

Zhao Longcheng agreed to this plan. He was worried that if he had all his strength to attack Santiago and the Espanyol in Valdivia would be unacceptable to the loss of workers in the shipyard or the destruction of facilities. Zhao Longcheng asked: "Prince, how should the troops be distributed?"

Li Junwei shrugged: "Don't ask me, I don't understand these things. You can discuss with Li Su. For Valdivia, what I want is a shipyard, and for Santiago... there is no requirement. Just hit the city of Santiago."

Zhao Longcheng knew Li Su's identity. Although he is now the chief of the guard of King Yu, he is the grandson of King Rong Li Dingguo. When the empire was established, King Rong Li Dingguo and King Cheng Lincheng became sworn brothers as emperors, and King Cheng Li Hai became the imperial clan as the emperor's adopted son. The three divisions of King Cheng and King Cheng have always been highly valued, but the only King Rong is not liked.

The reason is actually very simple. After the empire liberation of Beijing, it was sorted out the archives of the previous dynasty on a large scale and found that Li Dingguo's sons had plans to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but they were not investigated. Fortunately, King Rong's youngest son was redeemed from Mobei, but because of his unhealthy body, he passed away at a young age. Li Su is the only child. His mother is a Mongolian female slave, born in Mobei and raised in Mobei, but he is most loved by King Rong.

After King Rong Li Dingguo stepped down as the Senate, he has been idle and Yehe. Li Su was his only request, so his status is naturally different.

But Zhao Longcheng did not compromise because of his identity. He has been quarreling from the Cologne Islands to the island of Massatiella in the far sea of ​​Chile.

This is an island in the Juan Fernandez Islands. When there was another more famous name, Robinson Crusoe. However, there was no Robinson in history. His prototype was a Scottish sailor named Selkirk. The Scottish pirate had a fierce quarrel with the pirate captain. The stubborn Selkirk chose to exile himself to the island, so the pirates on the ship prepared everything he needed for him, from guns to pots and pans. As a result, when he got off the ship, Selkirk regretted it.

However, the captain did not give him a chance to regret, so under his insults and ridicule, the pirate ship left. Until four and a half years later, a British ship arrived here and rescued him. When he met the writer Defoe, his story was adapted into "Robinson Crusoe".

Li Su got six ships, a 32-cannon cruiser, two brig schooners, two pirate ships under Horayshaun and the Flying Thomas. What Li Su really wanted was not the ship but the soldiers. This time the expeditionary fleet brought two Marine battalions and military police forces. Li Su asked for one and a half battalions, two hundred military policemen and three howitzers.

This allowed Li Junwei and his party to go directly to Valparaiso to participate in the war, and Zhao Longcheng had to stay on this island for a few days because he had few land forces under his command and had to organize sailors for group training. He had many goals, including not only the fort, but also some supporting facilities for the shipyard.

Li Junwei naturally wanted to follow Li Su, so he chose to stay on Thomas's Flying and arrived at the Port of Valparaiso on February 17, 26, the empire.

Li Su issued a combat order, and the fleet arrived at the south of Valparaiso at night, separating the fleet from the port along the coastal mountains. The first wave of attacks was Horayshaun and his pirates, including one hundred and eighty-four people on the two pirate ships and forty-seven volunteer sailors on the Flying.

Horayshen turned the pirate ship into a whaling ship, and there was no need to be disguised. One of the Brave ships was originally a whaling ship. Two ships hung Spanish flags and drove into the port directly at noon. Once they crossed the mountains, they saw three high masts. Horayshen was a little nervous. After all, even the smallest cruise ship was not something that his two ships could deal with.

But when he saw the full picture of the ship, Horayshaun smiled because the cruise ship with thirty artillery was stranded on the beach and was undergoing repairs, mainly to clear the bottom of the ship. This is the helpless move of the port without a shipyard.

The Spaniards had a relatively complete port management system, so soon a pirate ship came to check their identities, but they were directly hit and sunk in the bay by the pirate ship. The people at the port thought it was an accident and shook their hats and shouted loudly. However, the Brave and Black pretended not to know, and directly approached the dock, and then immediately went ashore. Most of the pirates directly attacked the port, town and the fort. A small number of people jumped onto the three surrounding ships, killed the resisters, destroyed the rudder and sail, and entered the port.

At this time, the Spanish in Valparaiso knew that it was a pirate attack and became panicked in an instant. At this time, the flying ship Flying also appeared outside the port. Li Junwei on the ship stood on the deck. He applied his eyeshadow, wore a wool wig, dressed up with bones, jewelry, glass and other accessories, and wore a shabby triangular hat, as well as shabby clothes, rusty knives and old flintlock pistols. He looked like a fat version of Jack Sparrow.

"How about it, Sir Thomas, I'm very much like a pirate now." Li Junwei said to Sir Thomas with a smile.

Thomas said lightly: "You are a noble Chinese prince. There are absolutely no more than ten people in this world who are more noble than you. Why should you pretend to be a lowly pirate?"

"Are pirates very lowly?" Li Junwei asked casually.

"Of course!" Thomas' answer was not hesitant.

Li Junwei said: "I can understand what others say to me. It's a bit unreasonable for you English people to say. Without pirates, there would be no England now. Jazz. Your father has been a pirate. Of course, my father used to be the same."

By the time the two of them boarded the land, it was already afternoon. The port and town had been taken down. The situation in the town was scattered and fled. Ordinary people and slaves fled to several villages and towns in the inland, while the women and officials at the port entered the only fortress - Fort Santiago.

Li Junwei hated this fort because in the Spanish colonies, there was always a fort called Santiago.

Horayshaun was very good at governing his subordinates. Instead of snatching things in a mess, his subordinates controlled the main traffic routes and main buildings, and formed a siege on the San Diego Fort. The pirates had their own laws, ranging from power to distribution of spoils, so the basic order was still there.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to get ashore so soon." Horayshaun was discussing with several leaders about attacking the fort. He was a little surprised to see Li Junwei dressed up like this.

Li Junwei asked: "Where is what Li Su wants?"

"This small place does not have the map that General Li wants, so I can only give him another way." Horayshaun responded helplessly. After snapping his fingers, the pirate lifted a fat man tied up. Horayshaun said: "This is the mayor, he has been here for six years. This gentleman from the peninsula is in his third term, so he is very familiar with it."

"How do you guarantee that he can tell the truth?" Li Junwei asked.

Horayshaun pulled out his pistol, shot the ground, and hit the mayor's feet. The real scare made him shudder. Suddenly his whole body collapsed and his crotch was wet. Horayshaun grinned and did not explain again.

Li Junwei was very satisfied with this and ordered people to send the mayor to the dock. The attack on Fort Santiago was not smooth. Horayshaun tried twice and left seven bodies. There were nineteen artillery guns on the small fortress, which originally had thirty defenders, but many rich people and their guards fled in with weapons. If the mayor had not had too much property to carry, he would have gone in, so there are at least one hundred muskets in Fort Santiago now.

"Horeyshaun, do you need me to send someone to help you?" Li Junwei asked.

"No, no, no, no, you don't need this, Your Highness. Although there is some trouble here and some violation of General Li's plan, I promise to solve it within an hour." Horayshaun said.

What really motivated Horayshen was Li Suding's method of distribution of trophy. If Horayshen captured the fort, then everything in Valparaiso except ships, horses, gunpowder and lead belonged to Horayshen and his pirate team. But if he could not take down this fort, then all the property in the church and the fort would have nothing to do with him. Now it seems that these two places are the richest places.

Horayshaun quickly prepared the last round of attack. This time he found several carts, but not shield cars, but one or two people were tied to each of them. The priests of the church, nuns of the monastery and other clergy were all tied to the cross, and were pushed to the direction of Fort Santiago with all their backs.

The turret, which had originally had fierce fire, immediately silenced, but Horayshen's loud voice rang behind the vehicle. As long as you surrender, you will spare your life and resist to the end, everyone in the turret will die.

"You see, pirates are a group of shameless people. Many of Horayshaun's men are Catholics. They can do this to the clergy for money. They are such a lowly group of people." Sir Thomas said.

Li Junwei nodded slightly: "You have said a lot, but I heard that Morgan, a pirate in your country, captured Panama City more than ten years ago. How is he doing now? Has he been hanged or was he cursed?"

Thomas shook his head: "I don't know where he is."
