538 Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots

Of course, there are other rumors about the death of King Orne, and some people say in a positive tone that there was actually no mutiny among the soldiers, because the soldiers had already run out at that time, according to some eyewitnesses, a ** that flew from nowhere exploded on the street not far from Orne, and an iron spear that was blown away by the air wave pierced the king's back, so the king hung up.

As for which version is true, it doesn't matter at all to the citizens of Dili City, the most important thing is that the tyrant is really dead.

So the rest was simple, and a group of soldiers gathered around a wounded officer, carrying the head of Orne, who had just been cut off, to meet the Portuguese soldiers who had come to take over the battery......

Therefore, it only took Pimont one day to completely dissipate Ornet's power in Dili City.

The fatal blow to him was, of course, the blow of the Australians to the phalanx of the dock square, the bloody massacre made the king of Orne the most well-equipped and the most combat-ready main force lost, according to later statistics, excluding the wounded and escaped, the massacre killed more than 600 soldiers on the spot, you must know that the armed forces of Orne in Dili City at that time were less than 1,500 people, including 300 officers and soldiers on two batteries, so you can see how heavy the massacre was to Orne.

Subsequently, Orne's kinship tribes were strangled by other tribes, including the hostiles in the east, the so-called allies on the outskirts of Dili, and the so-called neutral tribes in the further mountains.

This was none of the business of the Australians, for all subsequent military operations to take over the city of Dili were carried out by the troops of the Governor of Pimont, and the Australians did not even send anyone ashore for a long time after the battle.

Then, in just a few days, the property and women of Orne's relatives were efficiently divided among the victors, and the angry citizens, with the support of Pimont's officers, beheaded all of Orne's immediate relatives and all the chiefs of the tribe to which they belonged in public.

Even so, the killing could not end, because according to the local aborigines, all the men of the defeated tribe, who were the subordinates of the tyrant, were thrown into the pit and buried alive, and more than 2,000 people were later executed in this way.

No one except Pimont and the Australians thought there was anything wrong with this, let alone cruelty, because in a world where cutting down the grass has always been the standard practice for the victors to treat the losers.

And the young Governor Pimont, who still has a pure conscience, was even ready to give amnesty to these tribesmen before, because Sun Lao, on behalf of the Australian Federation, once gave him a suggestion, saying that these people can be used as labor, even if they are used as slaves, it is really not possible, sell them to us Australians, according to the agreement between us, the free trade zone of the Australians is to be built today, and a large amount of labor is needed there, so Pimont gladly accepted this suggestion.

However, as soon as his idea was proposed, almost all of his subordinates expressed strong opposition and concern, especially the tribal chiefs who had allied themselves with Pimont, who were very puzzled by the Governor's idea.

These men told the young governor, who was only twenty-five years old, that Ornet's subordinates would not give up, and that they would not bow to you if you pardoned them, for they were His Majesty's subordinates, and that the only end for them was death, and that they would certainly try to make a comeback as long as they lived.

As for the slaves that the Australians need to work for, it doesn't matter, there are people on the island of Timor, and we can even capture slaves for the Australians, but we can't use these enemy tribesmen, because these people are dangerous and a group of unguardable troubles!

Eventually, at Degus's persuasion, Pimont was forced to dismiss the idea.

Obviously, Sun Lao can't say anything about this, for people, the fear in their minds cannot be replaced by others except for the person concerned to eliminate it in his own way.

Regrettably, when Elder Sun later came to Pimont and said, "We can buy these tribal men and take them to an uninhabited desert island in the distance, and they will not be placed with you, it was irretrievable, just a few hours ago, all these men were buried alive, and none of them survived."

Sun Lao was very annoyed by this, he blamed himself very much, and the guilt in his heart lasted for a long time, and finally it was gradually resolved under the various comforts of Duchess Margaret, of course, this is another story.

Things have developed to this point, and Pimont is forced to follow the customs, in addition to burying all the males of Orne's relatives alive, and at the strong demand of everyone, Orne's head is hung on the flagpole of the dock for more than 20 days, in order to deter those who try to rebel.

So in less than a month, the tribe, once powerful enough to control most of the island, disappeared – killing among the indigenous people was so brutal.

The world is so real.

And the Christian Governor of Pimont could not stop these killings, as Degus said, cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots is the rule of the indigenous world, and we have no power or need to stop it, I know that the Governor also needs slaves to work in banana plantations and woodlands, but we can learn from the Australian practice and use recruitment methods to find labor!

It's a good idea to recruit natives who work with rice and white flour, as the Australians do, because the laborers come to work during the day and go back to their homes in the evening, so the Australians manage these people very easily, these people are not slaves, so you don't have to feed these people for nothing when you don't have to work, and you don't have to fence them up at night, and worry about slave riots and epidemics all the time.

Therefore, Deguce thought that the Australians were very clever, and what Deguce admired most was that the Australians were doing things according to the law of commercial voluntariness everywhere, and the Governor should learn from it.

You see, Her Excellency the Honourable Duchess Margaret did just that, and now there is no shortage of labour in her rice fields, banana plantations, and sandalwood fields, and even women and little children can find a job on her estate, where every day there are several bowls of white rice porridge to drink.

Pimont also thought that Degus was right, and it seemed that he should change his way of thinking about dealing with the natives, so he immediately sent men to catch up with the eastern tribes who had already left Dili City with food and weapons, hoping that they would leave some of them for his estate to "work and earn money"—a strange word that Pimont had just learned from the Australians.

Today, the Governor of Timor, Pimont, is the happiest and busiest man in the whole city of Dili during this time, busy taking over the city, busy with the collection of various armed forces, and busy with the large "ownerless" rice fields, banana plantations and camphor woodlands outside the city.

He was also busy freeing the citizens who had lived in the city and were still working as coolies in the banana plantations on the outskirts of the city, who thought they would be slaves to the Orne family forever, and now they had finally returned to their home, albeit a dilapidated one.

So the 89,000 citizens of Dili became staunch supporters of the governor of Pimont, and the vast majority of these races were the small and medium-sized propertied people of the city, although the property varied, but they were all victims of Orne's rule, whose property had been more or less deprived and eroded by the king's kinship, and many were even forced to abandon their ancestral property and go to the fields to do those hard jobs that used to be only done by slaves.
