Chapter 734: Indigenous Civil Strife

***

The indigenous people of Luzon Island were originally like monkeys scattered in the mountains, and each ethnic group had its own territory.

Now that they are suddenly brought together to a high degree, it is inevitable that the contradictions will intensify.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the clouds were gradually overcast.

Asnan, the patriarch of the Balasa tribe, stood in front of his hut, covered with cotton cloth given by the Qin army, and as the patriarch, he received three times as much reward as ordinary people.

He was very satisfied with this.

But at this time, the patriarch of the Niaowang clan, Halu, relied on the command of the Qin army surnamed Tong to have a better relationship, and only took a piece of cloth as a dowry, so he sent someone to marry his daughter, of course Asnan would not agree.

As a result, after Haru was rejected, he continued to instigate the tribesmen to make trouble.

The number of the Bird Wang tribe is more than that of the Balasa tribe, but every time the people on the scene are small, the Balasa tribe suffers a big loss in several brawls, and four tribesmen are killed and injured before and after.

In this regard, the Qin army adopted an attitude of calming things and did not allow the Balasa to retaliate.

This is obviously because of the good relationship between Halu and the commander of the Qin army surnamed Tong, at least Asnan thinks so, being bullied by a tribe that is not as strong as himself, which makes Asnan feel very uncomfortable, and the clansmen are even more angry all day long shouting for revenge.

Asnan looked at the dark sky, thinking about how to get a general of the Qin army to support the Balasa clan.

At this moment, there was a commotion from the east, as if something had happened, and Asnan had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Soon, several clansmen ran to him with torches and shouted to him: "Patriarch, it's not good, Nian Bai and Puluo have been killed, and Nian Bai's daughter is gone." ”

"Their home was also robbed, and the young patriarch found an arrow used by the Niaowang clan in Nian Bai's house. This must have been done by the Niaowang clan, and the young patriarch took everyone to find Haru to settle accounts. ”

Asnan is not even good, his son Ma Luo has a marriage contract with Nian Bai's daughter, and Nian Bai's daughter is gone, and his son will definitely not give up.

Asnan's own heart is not full of anger, and the Bird Wang tribe is also deceiving people too much, which is obviously not taking the Balasa tribe in his eyes.

"Gather the people, let's go to the Haru theory."

"Yes, Patriarch."

The Balasa and the Chowang settlements were connected, and the fiancée of Aisnan's son, Maro, was robbed. Coupled with the hatred that had been accumulating all the time, he completely lost his mind, and rushed into the residence of the Bird Wang clan with more than 300 people, and beat people when he saw them.

When Asnan arrived with thousands of follow-up tribesmen, the two sides were already fighting together, and Maro was besieged by the Birdwang tribesmen and was blinded in one eye, and the situation was extremely dangerous. Immediately shouting and rushing in, join the fierce firefight.

On this night, it was like dry wood encountering a fire, and the various indigenous tribes that lived densely together. Successive inexplicable firefights.

The Luhani, Kengba, Mudnan, Hishan, Dongbei, Palawan, and so on each invaded the enemy's residential area, and all kinds of hatred accumulated over the past two months completely erupted on this night;

Within a radius of twenty miles around Fusu City. The two or three hundred thousand indigenous tribes living densely here were almost all affected, and there were fires everywhere, and then there were people fighting with weapons. The women cried and the children cried, and no one cared for them, and they were all in chaos.

This chaotic scene is reminiscent of the many anti-Chinese incidents that occurred on Luzon Island, in which the natives of Luzon rushed into the Chinese-populated areas, wantonly killing people and setting fires, raping and plundering.

The Chinese cry and struggle helplessly, in exchange for more inhumane ravage, every time the anti-Chinese incident occurs, tens of thousands of Chinese people die tragically, the natives rob the Chinese property, rob the women, step on the corpses of men to enjoy the happiness brought by unearned gains.

The Qin army in Fusu City saw the fire everywhere outside the city, shouted like a tide, and immediately sent Aquino and two hundred Qin troops out of the town to suppress it.

The night was vast and the flames were everywhere, compared to the chaotic battle of two or three hundred thousand people, Aquino's two or three thousand people, and the two hundred people of He Qingyuan, the commander of the Marine Corps, were just a drop in the bucket.

In addition, He Qingyuan didn't pay attention to strategy at all, and the servant army with Aquino only knew how to rush around and kill indiscriminately, but at the beginning, Aquino saw that Qin soldiers were constantly falling, and some Qin soldiers didn't know where they were injured, and half of their bodies were covered in blood, which was extremely scary.

Aquino's servant army really suffered hundreds of casualties, and seeing that the scene was too chaotic and the casualties were too great, He Qingyuan had to return to Fusu City with twenty or thirty "corpses" of the Qin army.

Aquino also wanted to retreat, but was stopped by He Qingyuan, who told them to continue to suppress the rebellion outside the city.

Early the next morning, the rebellion outside the city had not been completely quelled, and the natives in the city saw that in front of the original Spanish Governor's Palace, twenty or thirty "corpses" of the Qin army were neatly arranged, and thousands of Qin soldiers were arrayed in front of the yamen, with white silk wrapped around their arms, which looked extremely solemn, and mournful music soon played in the army, and a sad atmosphere permeated.

Zheng Sihai, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, with more than a dozen generals of the Qin army, appeared in front of thousands of Qin troops one by one.

I only heard Zheng Sihai shouting: "The soldiers of Great Qin, since we came to Luzon, we have defeated the Spaniards and rescued the natives of Luzon from the enslavement of the Spaniards after several bloody battles.

Now we have given them fields, two pieces of silver, cloth, tea, and porcelain, and we have given them a great deal of kindness, and we only want to influence these natives and let them live a good life.

But they are not changeable, they are cruel, they even start a rebellion, and they kill our brave soldiers, do you see? Have you seen them all? Thus our comrades fell by the sword of the natives. ”

"Blood debt and blood repayment!"

"Blood debt and blood repayment!"

"Blood debt and blood repayment!"

Thousands of Qin soldiers roared into the sky, and the sound shook the sky. When the natives of the city saw this scene, they could not help but tremble with fear and terror, and they only hoped that the rebellion outside the city would not affect themselves.

Thousands of Qin troops roared out of the city under Zheng Sihai's order, with a team of 100 people per person, and surrounded the natives from all directions, and the natives outside the city did not know that they had "killed" dozens of Qin troops, only that the Qin army came out to maintain the situation.

When the natives who were still fighting collapsed amid the sound of the Qin army's gunfire, the rest of them were so frightened that they stopped, and the Qin army roared in unison, driving them together.

Under the rising sun, large huts were still blazing, the ground was full of scattered objects, and corpses, those injured natives fell to the ground and screamed, the whole Fusu City was in a mess, and the smell of blood filled the air.

The natives have the courage to fight each other and seek revenge. But in the face of the Qin army's bullets, they did not dare to resist more, and under the chorus of the Qin army's roar, those who moved a little slower were immediately shot.

Two or three hundred thousand natives, squeezed and driven by thousands of Qin troops, were driven all the way to the west of the city, where the city wall was in the east, the wide Bashi River in the south, and the Qin naval guns in the harbor could completely cover this area.

The natives were crowded, the black pressed a large area, thousands of Qin troops blocked the north with guns, and there were also Qin troops on the city wall to monitor condescendingly, there were small and medium-sized warships of the Qin army patrolling back and forth on the Bashi River, and the gunboats in the port came sideways, and the artillery was loaded with shotguns.

The natives who were driven out did not dare to resist, and under the order of the Qin army, they squatted on the ground one by one with their heads in their hands, huddled together, at this time they felt that something was wrong, and the Qin army did this, it seemed that it was not just as simple as going out of the city to maintain the situation.

Panicked, they looked at the rows of guns of the Qin army, and some of them were still screaming in despair, trying to explain that they were victims last night.

Like the patriarch of the Balasa tribe, Asnan, he kept shouting at the Qin army: "Master Qin Jun, it was the Niaowang people who killed my people first, and they killed and robbed first."

Qin Jun yelled at him: "We have given you land, silver, cloth, and tea, and treated you so well, but you have to start a rebellion and kill our comrades, do you still want to quibble?" ”

"Master Qin Jun"

"Stand back, stand back!"

Qin Jun didn't have much reason with him at all, and immediately put his gun on it, so frightened that Asnan quickly knelt down.

Aquino took the remaining 2,000 men, under the command of the Qin army, to carry the wood, lay wooden stakes on the periphery, fence them, and enclose the two or three hundred thousand natives inside like a flock of sheep.

At this time, the west gate opened, and twenty or thirty "corpses" of the Qin army were transported out, and in the sound of mourning music, they were sent to the warships of the Qin army.

When the natives in the city thought they had escaped a disaster, the Qin army began to act again.
