Chapter 880: Civilization

"Dongfan Savage!"

The sentries on the arrow tower were the first to notice that something was wrong, and when people were shocked, they first subconsciously shouted, and then they rang the gong on the guard tower. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the gong sounded, the whole barracks noticed the wild man rushing towards them.

Seeing that there were several thousands, all the officers in the barracks rushed out.

Li Shouxin, Liu Hong and others were still with Chang Wei and others in Shizhai Yingpan, and everyone didn't expect that the wild people, who had always been only a few hundred people, could gather so many men to rush over.

"yes, that's great." When Huang Yu'an rushed out to see the movement, it happened to be when Lu Dafu, the commander of the first battalion, also ran out.

Not only Lu Dafu applauded, but all the officers were excited.

Huang Yu'an and the military doctors were speechless.

The commander of the brigade, Yao Fengxian, shouted: "Tell the artillery to extend the trajectory and open fire, and after three rounds of artillery fire break up the ranks of savages, the cavalry will rush out from both flanks to wrap up, and the infantry will attack and capture the prisoners on their own according to the company-level array." ”

The orders are simple and clear, everyone immediately obeys the order, and Yusheng's command level is very simple and clear, and no one will make a mistake.

After the trumpet sounded, the artillery position saw the flag again, and the artillery battalion directly under the regiment immediately opened fire!

The movement of more than 20 six-pounder guns firing together was simply earth-shattering!

The flames erupted, the ground shook, and more than twenty cannonballs swept straight behind the savage array, and immediately more than twenty pillars of smoke, dust, tree debris, dirt, vines, and of course, human bodies, flesh, bones, and robes, these things flew all over the sky.

All the savages were terrified, and the already scattered shock formation immediately became extremely chaotic.

At this time, the camp gate was wide open, and more than 400 murderous cavalrymen wearing cuirasses galloped out of the camp gate, dispersed to the two wings, and began to speed up the attack.

The cuirass glistened in the sunlight, and the native archers began to shoot arrows, but the bows and arrows only clanged on the cuirass, and they were powerless to penetrate.

The cavalry returned fire with firearms, and the dense firecrackers immediately knocked over the people on the ground.

The infantry in the middle had already finished their formation, and they left the camp in columns, and then arranged in horizontal formations, with their bayonets loaded, and the soldiers were very angry...... After a night of fighting, and breakfast is not full, who is not angry?

In the sound of the snare drums, dozens of companies began to stride forward, firing their guns and loading their bayonets as they went, and when the cavalry reached the rear, the infantry also approached, and the natives were scattered everywhere, and they resisted desperately, not afraid of death, but like moths to a fire, they rushed up and were killed by the firecrackers.

The detachments of soldiers had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, and they didn't play last night, and now these guys in iron armor didn't care about conserving their strength, and rushed forward, desperately beckoning them with big axes and long knives.

"Order, don't kill if you can." Lu Dafu and other officers were anxious and began to restrain their subordinates, but with little effect, if the natives did not give up resistance, the soldiers would have no way to catch them alive.

When Chang Wei, Zhang Xuwen and others heard the movement and rushed back, they saw groups of soldiers indulging in killing in the sun, while those natives who had obviously been surrounded and trapped were still struggling to resist, and few of them surrendered voluntarily.

"These guys ......" Chang Wei shook his head and said: "Savage, brave, not afraid of death, it's hard to subdue." ”

Zhang Xuwen said: "Can you use softness to overcome rigidity, Huaide and make it vote?" ”

"Nope." Chang Wei said: "We are not afraid of Wei and we can't be Huairou, we want to catch more work every time, deduct it to do farm work, and slowly attract their tribes to vote, but the effect is very limited." ”

"There will always be a way to ......" Zhang Xuwen looked at him firmly and said: "This matter can be dealt with slowly." ”

"You have to be able to do a good job," Chang Wei looked at Li Pingzhi and said, "The credit is not under him." ”

……

This chaos lasted until the evening, and the soldiers worked hard for a day and a night, and when Li Guozhu and his people rushed over, they happened to see the gray-robed soldiers of the brigade escorting the prisoners with long knives and giant axes or bayonet firearms.

There were more than 3,000 captives, about two or three hundred miles from here, and this was a gratifying thing.

Six or seven hundred people were killed, and several hundred ran away, most of them because the old and weak in the rear ran over the mountain.

"It's okay, their departments have lost the main young man, and this time it is no longer a threat."

There were more than 100 chiefs and clan elders of the various tribes, and all of them were taken aside.

Chang Wei glanced at it and ordered: "Send two companies and kill them all, there is no need to detain them." ”

"Yes, political affairs." Li Shouxin was not surprised, of course, he would not cheer when he received this kind of military order, he glanced at the officers at the moment, and ordered: "Lu Dafu, you take someone with you." ”

"Uh, yes."

Lu Dafu seemed to have a duck egg stuffed in his mouth, and reluctantly went.

Li Shouxin smiled slightly, this subordinate is very good, and he is also his own henchman, but he has never experienced any decent storms, and his heart is too soft.

When Lu Dafu led the company to escort people, to Zhang Xuwen's surprise, the natives did not resist, and those leaders and clan elders followed honestly.

Li Guozhu said with a smile: "Brother Chang is really spicy. ”

"Brother Li, don't blame." Chang Wei smiled: "You saw such a scene as soon as you came. ”

"It's nothing." Li Guozhu said: "I just don't understand why I killed so many people." ”

Chang Wei said: "I have been here for more than a year and a half, and I understand a truth. The natives have not yet been civilized, so it is difficult to use the method of Huairou or coercion, and if you really want to control their entire tribe, you have to kill all their upper echelons, including the clan elders, leaders, and people who speak their minds. Kill these people, and the rest of them will lose their backbone, and it will be easy to control. ”

Li Shouxin said solemnly: "The truth that Chang Zhengshi said, we have also arrested some natives and told them to farm, and found that they are more difficult to control than the northern captives, and they want to run away at the first opportunity, and even kill the soldiers who are guarding them, which is unruly and difficult to control." So I'd rather be understaffed than dare to use them. Today's opportunity is rare, the leaders and patriarchs of several tribes have been captured, kill them, and the remaining natives will be much more manageable. ”

"I see." Li Guozhu said with feeling: "The Japanese seem to be like this, they are unruly and difficult to surrender, but once the upper echelons understand that they are going to fail, the decision to surrender is easy to go down, and the lower echelons are different." ”

At this time, there was a gunshot in the wilderness in the distance, a company of soldiers guarded and took prisoners in batches, a company of musketeers took turns to kill these prisoners with special status, and there was a faint cry in the group of prisoners in the brigade, but none of these natives who had just resisted desperately and were not strong enough to die stood up to resist, and it seemed that their spirit was really exhausted with the defeat and the killing of the leader.

The shooting lasted for a quarter of an hour, and by the time Chang Wei, Li Guozhu and others turned their heads to look, the ground was already covered with corpses and blood, and a group of veterans and recruits poked and stabbed on the ground with bayonets to help those who were dying and moaning.

"Suddenly it feels like we're all covered in sin." Zhang Xuwen turned his face and didn't continue to look at the scene over there. He is not afraid, he has seen a lot of deaths from Tomsk to Mobei, and he has many lives in his own hands, but such a naked massacre, the power bullying the weak, still makes Zhang Xuwen a little unacceptable.

"Brother Xuwen," Li Pingzhi persuaded: "We Chinese people have always been like this, those Dutch people are like this, and the Spaniards are like this, everyone is the same. ”

"We are ...... with benevolence"

"That's." Li Pingzhi glared and said: "I have thousands of years of history in China, first Zhuxia, Cheng Zhou thought that they were Zhuxia people, and then Qi Chu rose up, completely wiped out the Dongyi people, and then the Qin people began the southern expedition, today's southern Xinjiang, most of them were taken by the Qin people, and the Nanban tribes were driven to the south, that is, today's southwest Zhuyi, and then the Han people went south, westward, and north, laying my thousand-year-old territory in China. Where is there anything to be done with benevolence and virtue, it is conjecture and intentional fabrication! ”

Zhang Xuwen was speechless.

Li Pingzhi said: "But it's okay to be gentle and gentle, the natives are different from Zhuyi, the islands are closed, they are much purer than the Southwest Yi and the North and the East, they seem to be rebellious and fierce, but in fact, they are easy to train...... In the words of adults, their civilization is too low-end, and even the northern captives are inferior. ”

At this time, everyone had turned to the port by the sea, and Chang Wei and Li Guozhu were very happy...... There will be a jump in Yusheng's maritime strength, and Li Guozhu has removed a big trouble, so he no longer has to worry about internal disturbances and someone threatening Hirado. As a partner, He Yusheng is already so strong that Li Guozhu doesn't have to worry about the other party beating his own idea, and the reason is very simple...... Because I can't do it.

Zhang Xuwen set his eyes not far away, there was a huge shipyard in the northeast of the base, where Dezhnev and others were located, they took the first step, boarded the ship from the port of Tianjin, and went straight to Taiwan, but they arrived much earlier than Zhang Xuwen and others.

Not far away, you can clearly see the keel of a ship standing, this is a brig schooner under construction, Zhang Xuwen feels that the biggest difference with the Chinese ship is the sail, the Western-style ship is soft sails, and the control of the wind is far more than the ship, the strength of the ship is stability, there is an excellent watertight cabin design, but the Western-style sailboat has a lot of space design under the cabin, and a large number of guns can be placed on both sides, which is the incomparable advantage of the ship.

Once this kind of schooner is created and produced in batches, the strength of Heyusheng on the sea in the future will be greatly improved......

"Brother Xuwen, let's go." Li Guozhu greeted Zhang Xuwen and said, "Let's go to the shipyard to have a look." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuwen smiled and said, "I will introduce the shipbuilder Dezhnev for the eldest prince." ”

"I've heard of him for a long time." Li Guozhu had a longing expression on his face, but everyone from himself to Yusheng understood that it was impossible to let Dezhnev go to Hirado to build a ship.

Whether Dutch or Spanish, the process of designing and building a shipbuilding is a secret and can never be revealed.

When Zhang Xuwen rode his horse to catch up, Li Guozhu smiled and said: "It's hard for you, you can find these masters from Russia to build ships, otherwise, He Yusheng can only take another road." ”

"Not really." Zhang Xuwen replied with a smile.

"Your face doesn't seem to be very good."

"It's nothing ......" Zhang Xuwen lowered his head, raised his head and smiled: "There are just too many things that have happened in the past few days." ”

"Brother Xuwen, let's adapt it earlier." Li Guozhu said: "This is a more cruel and dangerous place than Mobei! ”
