Chapter 437: Paraguay in crisis

The dark clouds of war are shrouded in the skies of Paraguay. Even Mrs. Lynch, who is not directly related to the war, is hard to sleep all night because she is worried about her proud lover.
Elissa Lynch and Lopez Jr. have six children,
The eldest son, Juan Francisco Lopez Lynch, was killed by Brazilian soldiers to protect his father during the Paraguayan war.
The second son, Collina Lopez Lynch, and the younger son, Miguel Lopez Lynch, died of illness because they were weak and had not yet reached adulthood.
The three remaining children, the third son Federico Lopez Lynch (born 1860), is a playboy. With his prominent origins, he is domineering in the Asuncion area, which is very disliked by his father Lopez.
The fourth son Carlos Lopez Lynch (born 1861) is a good obedient boy. He obeyed his father's advice and entered the army service, but after all, he is just a newly married Da Nanhai. If his father There was an accident in the war. No father stood in front of him to shield him from the wind and rain. How could he subdue those arrogant generals and officials.
Both sons did not grow to support the power of the Lopez family. The younger daughter, Leopoldo Lopez Lynch (born 1862), is a princess who is spoiled, Ellie. Sa Lynch can hardly imagine how they can survive in Paraguay without the protection of their lovers.
With anxiety about her lover and unpredictable future, Elisa Lynch tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, and finally decided to be a wife (although Lopez Jr. has never held a formal wedding with her.) Do his best to persuade Lopez Jr. to dismiss his decision to lead a troop in person.
With the help of the maid, she put on her clothes and jewelry, and walked through the long corridor. Eliza Lynch came to the central hall and saw the little Lopez sitting on the side of the hall and looking down for government affairs. .
"Dear, stop dealing with those boring government affairs, I have a big deal with you."
"I will follow the Guards to the front line in two days. There are many things to be dealt with in the government and the army. When I am busy with my work today, I will discuss and solve your problem."
The young Lopez treated his officers and officials cruelly and harshly, but when he got along with his lover and children, he was patient and forgiving like an ordinary husband and father.
"No, Francisco, that's what I want to tell you, please, Francisco, please look at the love between me and the children, stay at Asuncion, don't worry about the rebellion on the front line! "
Mrs. Lynch looked excited, grabbed Lopez's right hand, and asked earnestly: "Dear, your body has not been very good for the past two years, and now there has been heavy rain outside. If you are on the way to battle, The condition is getting worse, what should we and our children do!
I beg you, do n’t you go to the front? The Kingdom of Paraguay has so many heroic and valiant generals. Having them command soldiers in Mato Grosso, isn't it the same way to solve the Indian rebellion? "
"Not the same, Eliza, if Harold Peterson (the commander of the Paraguayan Army's Second Division) can resolve the Indian rebellion in a timely manner. I will not make the decision to go to the front line in person."
Little Lopez stood up, walked around the ornately decorated white jade desk, and walked to Mrs. Lynch, soothing: "My body has recovered almost, and this time I will take Dr. Doug along with me on the road No problem. "
Lopez Jr. saw the deep anxiety in Mrs. Lynch's eyes, and after patiently appeasing each other, she continued: "The Indians launched the rebellion is only a small problem, until the Kingdom Guards and I arrive in Mato Grosso do Sul State, I believe that the problem of rebellion can be resolved soon. You and the children do not need to worry about my physical safety. They should stay in the palace securely. When I return, Elisa, I promise you and I will make up for you. A formal wedding. "
"Francisco, are you telling the truth?"
Suddenly I heard a news that I wanted to hear in my dreams, and Mrs. Lynch couldn't agree for a moment.
"Yes, Elisa, I promise you that after returning from the front line, I will definitely make up a grand wedding for you at the latest by the end of this year. I want to make you the queen of all Paraguayan nationals. I want you. Be the happiest woman in Paraguay. "
洛 Lopez promised solemnly: "Our child, Carlos will be crowned the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Paraguay, and Federico and Leopoldo will also become the prince and princess of the Kingdom of Paraguay."
Unexpected surprises filled her eyes. At first, she was anxious about the safety of her lover. After hearing Lopez's promise, she was quickly filled with happiness.
Surprise was mixed with happiness, and coupled with just seeing Lopez's full of energy and freedom of movement, Mrs. Lynch's worry about Lopez's physical condition was much reduced.
"Dear, you must protect your body. If, I mean, the probability is very low, if you feel unwell, you must return to Asuncion immediately!"
"Rest assured, I assure you that if there is a problem with my physical condition, I will definitely return to Asuncion immediately."
I repeatedly made sure to send away the chattering lover, and Lopez Jr.'s strong support of his body seemed to have suffered a severe blow from the disease. In the next moment, he suddenly became severe.
Royal's face turned pale, and if you looked closely, you could also see a trace of puffiness. The straight back had to bend down slightly because of the pain in the body.
Wu Qingjin's violent hands rested on the desk, but still couldn't stop twitching and shaking.
The guard who was personally waiting for Lopez's daily life discovered his abnormality, and quickly took out the medicine prescribed by Dr. Doug to help him drink.
I drank the drug and sat in a chair for more than twenty minutes. When the sweat on my head evaporated, the pale face of Lopez gradually returned to normal.
Little Lopez is old. Born in 1827, he has just passed his 62nd birthday this year. His black hair has turned gray, and the original appearance of half of the white people on his face has also been polished by the years. Characteristics of the yellow race.
The following years rotted the body of little Lopez, but failed to annihilate his fervent and stubborn spirit! The drag just recovered a bit. Little Lopez took a baton and walked in front of a huge human portrait on the wall.
The figure in the portrait is the French emperor Napoleon. Lopez Jr. worshipped Napoleon very much and always regarded him as his idol. Therefore, when he visited Europe in his early years as the representative of the State of Paraguay, he paid for the portrait. Then he brought it back to Paraguay and hung it where he often lived.
From the outbreak of the Paraguayan war to the trapped Umayta Fortress, the portrait of Emperor Napoleon accompanied Lopez Jr. through the most difficult period. He recalled the arduous defense battle of the Umaita Fortress. He served as many officers, generals, and even young soldiers. When Lopez himself was in despair, it was Napoleon's portrait that gave Lopez the faith that he insisted on, and encouraged him to persevere, and finally waited for the Chinese labor rebel army led by Li Mingyuan to enter the battle! Won the victory!
底 At the end of May 1889, the late autumn with frequent floods and heavy rains,
Lopez Jr. can look back with satisfaction at the long journey of the past 62 years.
He led the weak Paraguay to win the offense of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
He shattered the British challenge to his country's independence, cracked down and arrested many treasoners who secretly intended to subvert his regime.
And just as Lopez Jr. thought he had achieved,
There are just as many unfinished things left in the leftovers. The fertile land craves people to cultivate it.
The stupid and ignorant Paraguayan nationals were unable to comprehend their great ideas and raise their thoughts to a level predetermined by the mysterious destiny.
洛 Lopez Jr. has always had noble career ideals;
Even if he uses intimidation, force suppression, violent detention to drive people, it is for the strength and rise of the country.
Regardless of the real facts and images, anyway, Lopez Jr. thought so, and never doubted it. The physical illness cannot defeat the young Lopes with a lofty ideal. He cannot allow himself to fall down. He will also lead the Paraguayan army and nationals, calm down the abominable Indian rebellion, defeat the external enemies, and win the ultimate victory for the Kingdom of Paraguay. !! Remove obstacles for the next generation of the Lopez family and leave a strong empire for Carlos! Just like his father's pavement for his power in Paraguay.
In order to calm down the Indian rebellion, Lopez Jr. was making intensive arrangements. The next morning, Colonel Mariano Alonso, the head of a Paraguayan Guards regiment scheduled to depart, Colonel Mandeilly, Captain of the Cavalry Battalion, and Artillery Battalion. Major Calilithes, Major Belgorod, chief of the engineering battalion, and the main officers and government officials of the Paraguayan Guard Remaining Forces and the Paraguayan Army First Brigade responsible for the defense of Asuncion's urban defense gathered in the Royal Palace Central Hall.
"Tomorrow morning, the Guards Regiment, Cavalry Battalion, Engineering Battalion, and other departments set off to rush to the front for counterinsurgency. Carlos took over the command of the remaining Guards and the Army's First Brigade.
Jose? Count Decod, General Enrique, after I leave Asuncion, I hope you will assist Carlos in rear affairs and Asuncion's guarding work. "
Prime Minister Lopez Jr. named the Prime Minister of Paraguay and Lieutenant General Enrique, commander of the Guards.
"Observe, Your Majesty!"
The two stood upright and answered loudly.
"The arrest and interrogation of treason in the city will continue after I leave Asuncion!
Carlos, I leave it to you! After the meeting, Colonel Mariano Alonso will hand over the relevant work to you as I ordered. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will follow your instructions."
Carlos, the illegitimate son of Lopez Jr., was brought to the Central Hall for the first time and was given the power of Asuncion to manage and deal with the treason,
This father's fancy is undoubtedly the way to cultivate him as a heir to the kingdom. Therefore, even last night, the mother's decision to promise to establish himself as the heir was received from the mother in advance. He really heard the news that power was in hand. Los Lopez still couldn't help but feel all kinds of excitement and excitement.
The Lopez family is not an orthodox European royal family. It does not place too much emphasis on the tradition of inheritance. Before his father Lopez Jr. took over the power of his grandfather, he did not rely on the identity of the eldest son, but the importance of the old Lopez and his With the power in his hand, as long as he has the power in his hand, even if his brother has the advantage of inheritance, he will not be able to shake his position.
López brought Carlos to the Central Hall in person, and gave his son the power to manage Asuncion affairs on his behalf. There was also a way to pave the way for his son and to show everyone the idea of ​​Carlos as heir.
After his son's appointment was successfully approved, and none of the officials and officers present raised objections, Lopez went on to deploy follow-up arrangements.
"The insurgency within the kingdom and the rampant insurgents are inseparable from the infiltration and agitation of the Han state! The surveillance of the embassy in the Han state must be further strengthened. It must not occur after I leave because of the Han state's intervention. The resulting rear turmoil! "
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Guards will redeploy a company's troops again to invest in the surveillance and investigation of the Chinese Embassy!"
The commander of the Guards said.
"The abominable Orientals of the Han Dynasty are the leaders that led to the turmoil of the kingdom. Many stupid and ignorant citizens, after listening to the confusion of the Hans, have produced the shameful behavior of conspiring to betray the country! For these idiots! Death and the grave It is their last destination! "
洛 López Jr. was stubborn and blamed the failure of the Paraguayan government for the Han country.
After expressing resentment against Han, he intentionally showed his generosity and kindness: "Stupid traitors are not worthy of forgiveness, but those women and children who have been implicated because of their stupid behavior. If women and children are identified, Without participating in the shameful plans of their husbands and fathers, alleviate their guilt and release them after a period of detention. "
"Those poor women and children will surely thank His Majesty for his kindness and tolerance."
The performance of the young Lopez was over, and the officials and officers in the hall cooperated in a timely manner.
他们 "They are also nationals of Paraguay, and as their monarch, I have a responsibility to guide them on the right path."
Lopez Jr. positioned himself as the leader and controller of the Paraguayan subjects. An understatement determined the fate of thousands and even thousands of women and children.
Closing the issue of the disposition of the insurgents, Lopez Jr. focused his attention on the insurgency in South Togrosso.
"The number of armed Indian rebels in Mato Grosso do Sul and the western Chaco Plains has exceeded 10,000. General Harold Peterson and his second division of more than 8,000 soldiers have been destroyed by heavy rain. Factors such as dikes, diseases, and combat losses have led to severe troop downsizing, according to the latest information returned by Lieutenant General Harold Peterson. The number of soldiers still capable of combat in the second division dropped to 5,000, and heavy rains and floods broke the The supply channel for the second division and the third division stationed in the port of Cassado ~ EbookFREE.me ~ was blocked. In addition to the difficulties of scattered and insufficient forces, there was also the problem that the ammunition supply was about to be exhausted.
Combining with the current situation in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, I decided to redeploy the main force of the navy and set up a transport supply fleet. First, I will connect the water channel along the port of Concepcion and Cassado. Then I will change to land and enter South To Grosso. State, merged with the Second Division to supplement their ammunition supplies. "
"Your Majesty, affected by heavy rain weather, the Paraguay River waters have strong winds and turbulent waters, and the transport fleet is traveling on the water. It is likely that an accident occurred due to severe weather."
令 The commander of Paraguay's naval fleet, Major General José Falcon, who actually takes on the task of defending the waterways in Paraguay, reminded him.
"More than 80% of the Kingdom's important mineral resources are located in the newly reclaimed areas of Mato Grosso do Sul and southern Goias. Although the weather is severe, the situation in Mato Grosso do Sul will remain volatile Or spread to the southern part of Goias, the losses suffered by the Royal Government for this will multiply, and the situation in Mato Grosso do Sul must be effectively contained within two months!
The supply of ammunition to the frontline forces must also be restored as soon as possible.
A little bad weather is not a big deal! Assemble the transport fleet according to the plan and leave immediately tomorrow! "
Lopez Jr. explained the urgency of calming the Indian rebellion, and then issued a mandatory departure order to the navy transport fleet.
