Chapter 55: The End of the Indigenous People
PS: The first update has arrived! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation tickets and dream tickets!
Long Yufei left the hall in a huff, and he felt more and more that this time he came to meet the two envoys of the Moro people was a complete waste of time! These guys, who simply feel so good, actually dare to issue a war threat to Xinhuaguo! If it weren't for the dense forest, he would have ordered the Exoces to drive over and wipe out the two sultanates!
"Huzi, send someone to the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to give orders to intensify the attack on the natives! If the Moros dare to intervene, kill them all! Long Yufei said. At present, the three brigades of the Xinhua Army, the first brigade and the second brigade, are fully manned, and the main force is fighting against the natives in the forest. The 3rd Brigade is in Zamboanga, but now only three infantry battalions have been formed, and there is a shortage of three infantry battalions and an artillery battalion.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Captain Li Hu nodded and left quickly. Since Long Yufei came to this era, Li Hu is the person who has the best relationship with him except for Luo Sangu. When he was still on Flying Fish Island, Li Hu was responsible for protecting Long Yufei's safety. After Long Yufei became the commander, Li Hu became the captain of the guard. Li Hu was only eighteen years old with him, but his status in the Xinhua Kingdom was not low. The arrogant attitude of the Moro envoy before made him very dissatisfied. If it weren't for Long Yufei's safety, maybe he would have asked for his life to go to the forest to kill the natives! Long Yufei asked for an increase in the attack on the natives, and he raised his hands in favor!
It wasn't until this moment that the anger in Long Yufei's heart was vented a lot. He then left the palace and went to the shipyard to inspect the progress of the two 'Shark-class' cruisers under construction. The navy of the Xinhua Army has begun to be formed, and some pirates who can manipulate sea ships on Flying Fish Island have been transferred to the navy, and some fishermen among the Chinese have also been recruited into the navy, so that the number of the navy of the Flying Fish Army has risen to more than 500 people. When more and more 'Shark-class' cruisers enter service, the size of the navy will be further expanded.
On the main hall of the Xinhua King's Palace, after Long Yufei ordered the two envoys to be pulled out of the palace and killed, the wolf-like guards immediately rushed out, grabbed the two envoys like chickens, and then dragged them out. The two messengers were stupid at night, they didn't expect Long Yufei to do this directly to them, and then they shouted loudly!
"I am the emissary of the Maguindanao Sultanate, you can't do this to me! Otherwise, this is a provocation to the Sultanate of Maguindanao and will provoke war! Carroll, the emissary of the Maguindanao Sultanate, shouted loudly. He never thought that Long Yufei, who was furious, would directly order them to be killed. If he had known that Lu Dao would have such consequences, he would definitely not dare to be so arrogant!
"It's none of my business, I'm innocent!" Musa, the emissary of the Buayan Sultanate, cried out in aggrieved terms. Originally, it was Carol who angered Long Yufei, and it was none of his business at all! However, Long Yufei obviously regarded him as the object of anger, which made him very aggrieved. This is completely unwarranted for him!
But the wolf-like guards simply ignored their cries. In fact, these guards couldn't understand what they were shouting again, they only heard Long Yufei's order, asking to drag these two guys out of the gang and kill them. For Long Yufei's orders, these guards naturally carried them out unconditionally, and they carried them out very thoroughly!
Ten minutes later, in a clearing outside Xinhua City, two Moro emissaries were shot dead by the guards.
In this regard, Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Xinhua, is also helpless. Although the two countries did not kill each other, these two envoys of the Moro people were completely looking for their own death! Knowing that Lu Dao was like this, he wouldn't have brought them to meet Long Yufei at all, wasn't this asking for trouble for himself? He did not take the threat of war to Carol, the emissary of the Maguindanao Sultanate, to heart at all. The Xinhua army was plagued by vast primeval forests and was unable to attack the two sultanates, so why not? Besides, with the combat effectiveness of the new Chinese army, it will not be a big problem to destroy these two sultanates. After the navy of Xinhua is established, with Long Yufei's personality, he will definitely take these two sultanates to attack!
After the two envoys were executed, their bodies were returned to the members of the mission who had come with them. The members of the mission were also stunned, but they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived in Xinhua City, the envoys of the two countries were killed. They were afraid that the Xinhua Congress would not even let them go, so they didn't even confiscate the bodies of the two envoys, and fled directly!
Long Yufei's order to execute the Moro envoy did not cause any fluctuations in the Xinhua Kingdom, as if nothing had happened! In the minds of most Chinese in the Xinhua Kingdom, there is no difference between the Moro and the natives. His Majesty the King killed two natives, what's the big deal? You must know that almost all the heavy work in Xinhua is done by indigenous slaves, especially in the mines, when a few natives will not die! It's normal for natives to be killed!
However, when the news of the death of the two envoys reached the Sultanate of Maguindanao and the Sultanate of Buayan, it caused an uproar. The sultans of the two sultanates were very angry about this, and the envoys they sent were actually shot directly by Long Yufei, which simply didn't take them seriously! You must know that the Moro people believe in Islam, so they are somewhat paranoid in character. The heads of the two countries unanimously ordered the expansion of armaments and declared war on Xinhua!
The Sultanate of Maguindanao and the Sultanate of Buayan were not very powerful and did not have a large number of citizens, the former numbering about 150,000 people, while the latter had only more than 100,000 people. Their standing army was even smaller, numbering only a few thousand, all in order to prevent the natives from attacking them. In terms of weaponry, it is not much stronger than the natives. It may be okay to deal with the natives, but to deal with the Xinhua Army, it is to find death!
In addition, between the two countries and Xinhua Kingdom, because they are separated by a vast primeval forest, they cannot directly send troops to fight against Xinhua Kingdom!
The Sultanate of Maguindanao sent an army of more than 5,000 men to Zamboanga. Zamboanga's wealth has long been coveted by the Sultan of the Maguindanao Sultanate. He thought to himself that the Chinese were very weak, and that an army of 5,000 was enough to capture Zamboanga!
It's just that the ensuing battle made the whole Sultanate of Maguindanao stupid. The third brigade of the Xinhua Army was responsible for the defense of Zamboanga, and even though the third brigade now only had three infantry battalions, and one infantry battalion was a recruit that had just been recruited, it was definitely not something that the army of five thousand Moros could deal with.
On the outskirts of Zamboanga, the troops of the Maguindanao Sultanate of the Xinhua Army engaged in fierce fighting. Only a very small number of the troops of the Sultanate of Maguindanao were armed with muskets. However, the old muskets they are equipped with are not even comparable to the Burka-style rifles, the effective range is less than 50 meters, and even the bow and arrow are not as good as the new Exocet rifle!
Although the Maguindanao Sultanate had a larger army, the fighting was completely one-sided. In the face of the powerful firepower of the Xinhua Army, the attack of the army of the Maguindanao Sultanate was no different from seeking death. Especially when it is shelled, it is more like a fly without a head, scurrying around, without a formation at all.
In this battle, the 3rd Brigade of the Xinhua Army inflicted heavy losses on the army of the Maguindanao Sultanate at a small cost, so that the Maguindanao Sultanate no longer dared to attack Zamboanga! At the same time, this battle also shocked the Chinese people of Zamboanga. Although they already knew that the combat strength of the Xinhua Army was very strong, it was always hearsay, and many people thought that the combat strength of the Xinhua Army was exaggerated. However, this battle of Zamboanga happened right in front of their eyes, which made them really feel the strength of the Xinhua Army. For a while, the self-esteem and self-confidence of these Chinese people in Zamboanga have improved a lot, and they have become more identified with Xinhuaguo! Originally, these Chinese joined Xinhua just to find a backer to ensure their own safety. But now, they are starting to feel proud of being a member of Xinhuaguo!
As more and more Zamboanga's factories used slaves, this made Zamboanga's Chinese labor force abundant. Many Chinese who did not have jobs had no choice but to join the Xinhua Army, so that the Third Brigade of the Xinhua Army was soon full. Although these newly recruited Chinese soldiers are a little cowardly and not strong in combat, they will also become qualified fighters after rigorous training!
After the failure of the Maguindanao Sultanate to attack Zamboanga, they did not give up their enemies with the new country. Both sultanates began to support the natives of the forest, providing food and weapons for the natives, and supporting these natives to fight against the Xinhua State, hoping to weaken the strength of the Xinhua Army, hold back the footsteps of the Xinhua Army, and ensure their own security. If these natives can rely on these natives to wipe out the Xinhua Army, it will undoubtedly be the best. However, this is obviously impossible!
The two infantry brigades of the Xinhua Army strengthened the extermination of the natives! Even if the natives are supported by the two sultanates, they will not be able to fight against the Xinhua army! One after another, the indigenous tribes were wiped out by the Xinhua army, and all those who dared to resist were killed, and the remaining people, after excluding the old and weak, were all captured by the Xinhua army as slaves. During this period, the Xinhua army also ran into some troops of the Maguindanao Sultanate and the Buayan Sultanate, but they were all wiped out without exception!
The main force of the natives has been wiped out in the battle of Wurui, and the remaining natives are even more unable to resist the attack of the Xinhua army, and after several months of extermination, most of the natives have been exterminated by the Xinhua army!
