Section 275 Pig rearing
After losing the main force, the devil quickly entered the village.
Naturally, it is impossible for the natives with the island to burn a kiln of green bricks to build a city, so the devils easily broke the wooden village.
The next moment, the women and children were searched out of the grass hut amid their cries, and the body of their husband lay at the door, and the deceased still held a spear in his hand.
Those who resisted were whipped, and the top echelons of the tribe were hanged on the newly erected gallows, including the chief's family and all the elders, theologians. A black-robed chaplain was excitedly presiding over the ritual of purifying the infidels at the gallows, just as their colleagues in the Holy See were when they barbecued heretics.
More than 60 natives were captured by the Spaniards. In fact, the thousands of natives who died in this war were nothing to the Catholics, whether it was the conquest of the Philippines by Rhaegasby or the subsequent massacre of the Chinese, the death toll far exceeded that of the tribal conquest.
All the natives were imprisoned, screened, and then the prime men were first "packaged".
The slave traders also kept up with the times. When they found that all the low-level people who entered the big staff would be stripped of their hair, this advanced packaging method was used by the traffickers for the first time.
A captive with shaved hair can have a mixed effect, and some half-old men with gray hair can now sell for a "genuine" price, after all, people in this era are 30 years old with wrinkled faces and worn teeth, and it is not easy to tell the exact age.
After the surviving middle-aged men were "packed", they were tied up in groups of 10 people and transported away one after another.
The two armed merchant ships, which had already unloaded their supplies and loaded more than 1,100 slaves, quickly headed straight for the Commander. It's summer, and if the slave ship goes north, it's lucky to reach its destination in 57 days, so the traders cramget as many people as they can.
Among the remaining captives, all the wounded and slow-moving old men were singled out, after which they were driven to the river, hacked to death with long knives, and the corpses were washed into the sea and shot impossible, black powder and lead bullets were valuable assets in this era.
Two days later, four other armed merchant ships arrived, this time first and foremost by a group of Tagalogs. The duty of the Baoyi is to guard and cannon fodder, and there are still some large and small Moro tribes on the island, and after the masters open the situation at the cost of more than forty deaths, the future war will depend on the Baoyi.
You know, this is the era of white lives.
The four ships also unloaded some red bricks from a Ming-run kiln factory outside Manila. Some of the men would build a small castle and dock in the estuary, and these buildings, together with the original tribal camp, would make for a good slave hunting camp.
After that, another woman was taken away.
By this time, the tribe of the Moro people would be completely wiped out. When the adult men and women disappear, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are quickly exhausted by heavy physical labor.
When the two slave ships returned to Manila in mid-August, they brought back not only a large amount of cargo, but also Baron Juan and the soldiers of the castle in Taipei.
Upon his return, the Baron confronted the Governor and brought out a special document brought with him from the Grand Officer. This is an investigation report on the mineral resources of the Baguio region that the travelers promised at the beginning.
The document not only indicates in detail the detailed coordinates and approximate reserves of several gold, silver and copper mines in the Baguio area, but also attaches an accurate map of Baguio.
Overjoyed, the Spaniards soon sent an expedition ship, Baguio, at the foot of the Gottilla Mountains, 300 kilometers north of Manila, which was obviously unreliable to pass by land. Savages, with jungles, malaria and yellow disease will kill everyone.
After landing at Lingayen Bay in the north, the team only needs to cross more than 10 kilometers of coastal plains, and then face the Baguio Mountains.
So, if the expedition could find any of the gold, silver, and copper mines this time, the Spaniards would only have to do the same tricks they had just used to land at Lingayen Bay, capture the local Igolots, and then build castles and slave camp roads.
In general, due to the disturbance of a force that should not have appeared, the strategic situation of the Spaniards in this plane has been greatly improved, and after the good trade cycle of slave industrial products and silver, the big pie faces, who were originally in a defensive form, made the slave trade prosperous overnight.
This situation, in turn, gave rise to the expansion of the Spaniards in both the north and the south. You must know that in the original history, the Muslim Malays in the south fought with the white skins for more than 300 years, until the independence of the Philippines.
And in this plane, when the Spaniards discovered that fighting the natives was a lucrative business, the traffickers, adventurers, and villains who came in naturally knew Ruth that they were not so good off in Africa.
In addition, the situation in the Baguio region has always been on the radar of the traversers.
Ideally, if the Spaniards had worked hard, they would have been able to develop a few gold and silver mines in about three years.
This so-called "exploitation" was brutal by carving out roads, building mines, and arranging guards in the mountainous rainforests of Baguio, and then capturing slaves to refine minerals with primitive techniques all year round.
Whether it is a white skin or an indigenous, the mortality rate will increase greatly in this environment, and the indigenous people in the Baguio area are simply not enough to consume, so the Spaniards will continue to frantically expand the scope of slave hunting
The masterminds behind the scenes on Dayuan Island are looking forward to the future performance of the big pie faces, and they can even give some useful tools and weapons to the white mine owners, so as to strengthen the confidence of those people to exploit nature and fight the heavens and the earth.
In short, before the day when the cannons of the giant ships arrived at the gate of Manila, the crossing country will spare no effort to support the Spaniards, let them fly in the vast world of the country of a thousand islands, strive to open up more land under the light of the Holy Light, purify more heresy, and relieve some pioneering pressure for those who come after them.
After coming out of the merchant house on Dayuan Island, when Alonso and Juan walked along the long coast of the Taijiang River all the way to the south, Baron Juan told the story of the interaction between Manila and Dayuan in the past few months.
And after listening to these stories, Alonso looked at Dayuan Island, which had come to an end, and then looked at the complacent colleague on the side, and his heart couldn't help but be full of bitterness. The chapter content is being restored, so please visit it later.
