Roque didn't expect the Zulus to surrender so neatly.

At the time of the final count, there were still more than 90,000 rebels, and more than 24,000 young and middle-aged people, and they still had the strength to resist to the end, but the Zulus gave up so easily, just as they had been childish when they rebelled against the Natal government.

At the time of the final surrender, the Zulu men behaved less than the Zulu women, and most of the Zulu men behaved very submissively, no different from the Zulus who had been submissive before.

On the contrary, when Yaya's men entered the canyon, those Zulu women did not mince words to Yaya's men, many Zulu women scolded Yaya's men, and some Zulu women even threw stones at Yaya's men.

Those Zulu women were also obedient to the officers and soldiers of the northern division of Rhodesia, but in the face of the traitors among the Zulu people, those Zulu women hated from the bottom of their hearts, and showed fearlessness, after Yaya's men shot several people, those Zulu women were still fearless, and Roque finally had no choice but to let Yaya's men all withdraw from the canyon and no longer participate in the counting of the number of rebels.

When the Northern Rhodesian Division brought Bambata's body back to Pietermaritzburg, it was a sensation in the city, and countless people poured out of the city to see what the man who had turned Natal upside down looked like.

The officers and men of the Northern Rhodesian Division were warmly welcomed, and everywhere they went, they were simply "harassed" by the residents of Pietermaritzburg, and the whole city showed great goodwill towards the black-haired and yellow-skinned people, and even the status of the Indians rose to the top.

You must know that in the past, the social status of Indians in Natal was similar to that of Zulus.

Roque didn't care about any of this, and didn't even participate in the trial of the rebel leader, Roque was concerned about the more than 24,000 adult Zulu men, and according to Isaiah Quiller's suggestion, he wanted to shoot or exile all 24,000 as an example, but Roque disagreed.

"Whether it is shooting or exile, it is a great waste of human resources, why can't the shooting or exile be changed to hard labor, this rebellion, Natal has been greatly damaged, and the next step is definitely to rebuild, the reconstruction of the Transvaal and Orange is not completed, we need more people to participate in the reconstruction, if these Zulus participate in the reconstruction, then not only will it save our costs, but also allow those Zulus to fully reflect in their labor, which is much better than shooting or exile." Roque must not be reluctant, this is more than 24,000 people, everyone knows how short there is in southern Africa, and now it is a crime to shoot or exile more than 20,000 people so easily.

"Oh, Isaiah, listen to Locke, Lord Nyasaland is famous for his reconstruction, look at the current Transvaal, it is not so much that the reconstruction of the Transvaal was carried out under the leadership of Governor Milner, but under Locke, otherwise why is it that under the same leadership of Governor Milner, the reconstruction of Orange is a mess-" Hopkins is Henry's father-in-law, and Roark is the best man at Henry and Lacey's wedding, even if Roque's identity is not considered, Hopkins will also take the same stance as Roque.

That's the importance of networking, and in the Transvaal, Roque's relationships are ubiquitous, which is why Roque is fearless in the Transvaal.

"Hehe, General, you and the Lord didn't understand what I meant, I meant to exile those captives, but the exact location of the exile is negotiable-" Isaiah Quyler sat firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, and as the administrator of Natal, Isaiah Quyler certainly knew the importance of human resources.

It should be noted that although Natal has abundant human resources, most of them are in Basutoland, and considering the relationship between the Natal government and the Zulu people, the Natal government does not have the right to directly transfer human resources from Basutoland, and the Natal government has to pay for every Zulu person hired.

Although the Zulu rebellion brought a certain degree of damage to Natal, objectively speaking, it also brought an opportunity for the Natal government, and the Natal government can justifiably strengthen the management of the Zulu people in the future, so it is really hard to say whether the Zulu rebellion is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Hehe-" Roque finally understood what Isaiah Quyler meant.

"Hehe-" Hopkins tacitly raised his glass.

The rest is easy to say, the trial of the trial, the exile of the exile, on the 3rd of August, Anton and Martin returned to Nyasaland with the northern division of Rhodesia, and Roque went directly to Pretoria.

Roque has to report back to Ade.

To put it bluntly, this report is to ask for credit from the relevant personnel of the Northern Rhodesian Division.

Ade's expression was complicated when he saw Roque, and after listening to Roque's report, Ade was a little absent-minded and didn't speak for a long time.

Roque didn't speak, anyway, now Roque is qualified to sit in a chair in front of Ade, sit well, not tired.

"Locke, can you promise eternal loyalty to the British Empire?" Finally, Ade asked the question.

"Yes, I'll use my honor to promise—" Roque reacted quickly, a promise that would not be convincing in the twenty-first century, but at the beginning of the twentieth century, honor was more important than life.

In fact, in the 21st century, honor is still more important than life, but unfortunately, many people do not realize this.

It doesn't matter, those who don't recognize this will understand this sooner or later, such as a certain fish head, they will fully realize the importance of punctual updates, but there will always be many accidents in life that are uncontrollable, such as power outages -

Ade nodded, not saying much.

After leaving the Doge's Palace, Roque went to Henry's house with Henry as usual.

"Rhodesia Northern Division, this time the performance is too surprising, Locke, you are in the limelight this time, Winston said that Congress is still discussing whether to increase troops to Natal, and now that Congress has not discussed the results, your side has already quelled the rebellion, don't you know, after Congress learned the news, it was quiet for a minute." Henry was still a little envious of Roque, although for Henry, he was satisfied with receiving the knighthood.

For Henry, the title of Baron was sufficient.

Unlike Roque, Henry needed a higher knighthood to secure the status of the Chinese in southern Africa.

Henry, an Englishman, did not have such a big burden, and at this time in 1903, "the whole world" was British, and Henry only needed to guarantee his own interests.

In fact, Henry's attitude is a good thing for Roque, if Henry, like Ade, wholeheartedly considers the British Empire, then Roque really has to reconsider his relationship with Henry.

"It's not that the northern division of Rhodesia is strong, it's that the Zulu rebels are too weak, if the previous Boer coalition army is a hundred, then the Zulu rebels are at most thirty." Roc despised the Zulus in a more figurative way.

"If the Zulu rebels are thirty, then how many are the armies of Natal and the Cape?" Henry immediately blackfaced, and Roque's blow was too big.

"You can't count it that way, but the Zulu rebels have 100,000 men, and the Natal and Cape have only a few troops? Quality is important, quantity is even more important, and more ants can bite the elephant. "Roque doesn't score the armies of Natal and Cape, this is not easy to play, no matter how many points Roque gives, the next question for Henry must be how many points the Transvaal's army has.

Hopkins is Lacey's father, and if Roque gives a low score, then Roque won't even be able to eat at Henry's house.

If it's too high-

What a conscience!

"Hmph, you're smart—" Henry was pleased with Roque's answer.

Lacey was also satisfied, her belly was already very large, and her due date was in August, and if it weren't for Roque's visit, Lacey wouldn't have come forward to entertain her.

"By the way, I heard that you got more than 20,000 Zulus this time?" Henry finally remembered to get down to business.

"What do you want to do?" Roque was immediately alert.

"Give me some, I don't want much, give me the change." Henry is also here to take advantage, and this meal cannot be entertained in vain.

"No, no one." Roque resolutely refused, that fraction was more than 4,000 people, and he wanted to take it away with a word-

Don't!

"I'll give money—" Henry immediately turned into a slave trader.

"I don't want it." Roque was determined not to be in the same league as Henry.

"Okay, that's what you said." Heng used a napkin to elegantly dip the corners of his mouth, annoying aristocratic etiquette.

Regarding aristocratic etiquette, in fact, Roque really needs to learn in this regard, such as a simple wipe of the mouth, according to the aristocratic etiquette, it must be dipped little by little, and Roque will simply wipe it off.

Of course, this is also because Roque is more relaxed in Henry's house, and when it comes to formal occasions, Roque will also pay attention to these, don't do what he doesn't understand, and see how others do it, and he will definitely not be rude.

Not Henry, this guy has been trained in etiquette since he was a child, and etiquette has become a habit.

I can't change it.

"What are you going to do?" Roque immediately had a headache, and if Henry really behaved, Roque would really have a headache.

There is no way, the steel and cement that Nyasaland needs now are all produced by Favart, and if Henry cuts off the supply, Roque will be really dumbfounded.

Don't say that Henry can't do this kind of thing, Henry must do it.

"Hehe, I suddenly don't want to give money." Henry was triumphant, and it was rare for him to have the upper hand in front of Roque.

"Very well, don't forget that I am the godfather of your child-" Roque resolutely refused to give in, if Henry dared to blackmail Roque, after Henry's child was born, Roque would dare to teach Henry's child to be a bear child.

"I'm still your child's uncle!" Henry was simply furious.

"You two don't be so naïve, okay?" Lacey is very helpless, man, many times never grow up.
