Chapter 93: Post-war distribution

Thank you brothers for your support.
One day, under the strong maintenance of the Chinese Independent Army, La Paz restored order,
The next day, in the castle that originally belonged to Illivian, Li Mingyuan called a meeting of the Indian tribe chiefs who participated in the battle.
"The battle in La Paz can be won quickly and is inseparable from the sacrifices of the Indian warriors. Today, the purpose of my gathering of the patriarchs is to honor the promises made before the war and distribute the trophies obtained by the tribes for their merit. "
Li Mingyuan's words fell, and the chiefs of the Indian tribes who sat on both sides couldn't help but get excited. Yesterday, the Indian siege suffered a total of 1,000 people and 500 people. The number of casualties in the tribes divided into the war was about one or two hundred people. Hundreds of casualties were tolerable for Indian tribes. And for the young and middle-aged casualties who paid one or two hundred people, they can get vital weapons and ammunition. Compared with the two, their pay is completely meaningful.
"The Ulu tribe sent four hundred troops and killed one hundred people during the siege. The weapons assigned to the Ulu tribe were one hundred muskets, five thousand rounds of ammunition, and eight thousand pounds of grain.
The Keqiu tribe sent six hundred troops to assist the Chinese troops to attack the city walls when attacking the North City. They made great achievements, so the weapons belonging to the Keqiu tribe were 170 firearms, 8,000 rounds of ammunition, 10,000 kilograms of grain, and 500 yuan in silver. Pieces. "
There were twelve Indian tribes participating in the Siege of La Paz. Li Mingyuan announced one by one in descending order of merit, and each Indian tribes he had received had the weapons and materials he wanted. After completing the previous eleven tribes, Li Mingyuan paused and pronounced the tribute to the largest Indian tribe.
"The Aymara tribe has the largest number of participants. During the battle, the Aymara warriors did not fear sacrifice. They first boarded the La Paz walls under the command of a Chinese army officer, posing a major threat to the enemy's defensive forces, and in other attacks. With the cooperation of the city forces, the enemy was successfully forced to support the northern city of La Paz.
Therefore, among the Indian tribes participating in the war, the Aymara tribe is a well-deserved first achievement. In order to thank the Aymara tribe for its brave fighting, it has specially distributed 700 guns, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, 50,000 kilograms of grain, and 2,000 silver dollars. Yuan, and every Aymara warrior participating in the war will get thirty acres of land. "
The Aymaras have more understandable guns and food than other tribes, because in the siege operations, the Aymaras showed the most bravery and the most casualties. Among the 1,100 Aymara soldiers participating in the battle, 100 Seventy people were killed and 248 were injured. The total casualties were close to half the number of troops sent. They used huge sacrifices to obtain more weapons and food than other tribes. It is impossible for others to refute, but the Aymara people got other tribes. The lack of land makes people unbalanced.
Regardless of the ethnic group, land is the most important factor for the local residents. Why did the Tsarist Russia fall, and it was not the greedy aristocracy who had confiscated a large amount of land belonging to civilians, causing the people to have no land to plant, then the revolution broke out and pushed the Tsar down. throne.
Land is the foundation for the development and growth of all tribes. It has withstood 300 years of colonial rule by the Spaniards. Most of the indigenous Indians are used to farming. Only in the harsh areas of the Bolivian plateau, local people are still nomadic. Therefore, listen to The Aymara people who participated in the war each got thirty acres of land, and other tribes were immediately dissatisfied.
"General, the Aymara warriors are heroic and have great merit. I have no objection to acquiring land, but the Keqiu tribe is no worse than them. Why can they get land, and the Keqiu warriors can only get some musket food!"
The patriarch of Keqiu who is not small in self-respect is dissatisfied.
The dissatisfaction of other Indian tribes Li Mingyuan had long guessed, and he wanted this effect.
"Patriarch Keqiu, don't worry, listen to me."
Li Mingyuan smiled to appease the patriarch of the Keqiu tribe, and then said: "The Chinese Independent Army was not a face-down army. Before the uprising, we were subject to the oppression of white Europeans as well as the Indian brothers of all tribes. Now we come to Bolivia, I also want to help the Indian brothers live better, and the patriarchs of the Chinese Independent Army must have seen it before. We will not favor them because of which tribe cooperates with us first, nor will we win the battle. The other tribes aside. "
Li Mingyuan first said a good word and waited until the following tribal chiefs ceased to speak, and he continued: "You patriarchs should understand that for more than 300 years, white colonists have been slaughtering and oppressing Indians. They have taken away the fertile The land drove the Indians to barren and terrible places for their own lives. Now the American continent of the Indians no longer belongs to the Indians. In this land, white people occupy a dominant position, and even the black people who were originally regarded as slaves have a higher status than the Indians. People are tall. Black Haitians have established independent black nations for more than 50 years. But Indians, in Bolivia, no piece of land is completely Indian.
I know everyone ’s desire for land, but you have to understand that in Bolivia, even if the Chinese Independence Army defeated the government represented by Melgarejo, the newly elected Adolph is still white. Although he has a moderate attitude towards Indians , But after all he has to consider for the benefit of the white and mixed race behind him.
Therefore, I can allocate a part of the land far away from La Paz to the Aymara people, but I cannot distribute the land to all the Indians participating in the war, because this is not to help you, but to harm you.
The Chinese Independent Army will leave for a period of time in La Paz. Without the cooperation of the Chinese Independent Army, will the newly whites watch the land fall into your hands?
"
Later, Li Mingyuan did not say, but after hearing Li Mingyuan's explanation, the Indian patriarchs below also understood that the environment of the Indian community is not optimistic. Why did they risk their lives to cooperate with the Chinese Independent Army? Weapons to defend the security of the tribe?
But Li Mingyuan's words made them understand that the musket in his hand can only increase the resistance of the tribe, and the Indian and European white powers are still very different.
Because of Li Mingyuan's words, the joy that had just been assigned to the weapons suddenly disappeared, and the tribal chiefs in the hall also looked down, feeling confused about the future of the Indians.
"General, the Indians treat the Chinese as true friends, and the Chinese will not watch the Indians suffer and remain indifferent, right?"
The reactions of other Indian tribal chiefs were seen by Chief Aymara, but he was not so pessimistic and disappointed, because the Indians depended on the Chinese Independent Army, and the Chinese Independent Army also needed the assistance of the Indians without the help of the Indians. Without the help of the Indians, the Chinese Independence Army wanted to cross the Bolivian plateau thousands of miles safely. Therefore, the patriarch of Aymara believed that Li Mingyuan must have a solution to the dilemma of the Indians.
"The patriarch Aymara is right, the Chinese Independence Army will not look at his friends and ignore them."
Li Mingyuan gave a stern glance to Patriarch Aymara and said, "Bolivian whites are powerful and it is unwise to rashly fight whites."
Li Mingyuan paused and saw that the Indian patriarchs on both sides looked at themselves and no longer hid, and said directly: "To keep the interests of Indians from harm, first of all, we must convene Indian tribes scattered everywhere. All Indian tribes can unite in order to strengthen the Bolivian Indians and prevent white governments from easily attacking Indians. "
"There are many Aymara tribes in northern La Paz. When I returned, I immediately sent tribal warriors to contact other Aymara tribes."
"There are also Quechua tribes in northern La Paz, and I will send someone to contact them."
Keqiu continued.
The Bolivian Indians mainly live in the Andes Province of La Paz and Oruro provinces. Among them, the northern part of Baras Province had many silver mines, which attracted many white people to mine silver there, but after more than 200 years of mining, Silver mines in northern La Paz have been exhausted, and whites have largely moved out of northern La Paz because they have no economic resources, and most of them now live there as Indians.
The northern part of La Paz is not far from the city of La Paz. It takes little time to contact the Indian tribes there. After the news of the Chinese Independence Army occupying La Paz, the Indians in the northern region will surely be encouraged to volunteer for the Chinese Independence Army.
There was no problem in contacting other Indian tribes, and Li Mingyuan went on to offer suggestions that were tempting to Indians.
"It is difficult for Indians to seize Bolivia's rule, but it is still possible to take a step back and establish an Indian autonomous province."
"Build Indian autonomous provinces so that we Indians can manage their affairs!"
An Indian patriarch was excited ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Yes, by establishing the Indian Autonomous Province, we can have our own land and never have to face white eyes and oppression. Patriarch Aymara was just as excited.
The establishment of the Indian Autonomous Province is not only a win for Indians to continue to serve the Chinese Independence Army, but also an attempt made by Li Mingyuan before turning to southern Brazil.
After the independence of the South American countries, a republic was generally implemented, and the national ideas of western countries have also begun to be introduced to the Americas. However, because the American countries are immigrant countries, the nation-state is still in the formative stage. Whether the domestic reaction is fierce, so before this, the establishment of the Indian Autonomous Province as an attempt, based on the response of white Bolivian whites, to infer the intensity of the Brazilians ’occupation of Rio Grande do Sul in the counterattack.
There are many Indians in northern La Paz, and the Indian tribes participating in the Chinese Independent Army are not far from the northern region. Therefore, after discussion, the tribes unanimously decided to occupy the northern part of La Paz and establish the Indian Autonomous Province with the north as a loyalty.
Of course, before the establishment of the Indian Autonomous Province, the Indians also had to assist the Chinese Independent Army in annihilating the remnants of Melgarejo and help the Chinese Independent Army to transport logistic materials.
