Chapter 265: Hands-on

The monarch must never touch the property of others, because people tend to quickly forget the death of their father, but not the loss of their inheritance. Machiavelli Monarchy.

For these civilians who came to Taiwan from Fujian and Guangdong to beg for a living, it was originally difficult to unite.

The frustrated people who originally belonged to the Celestial Empire were destitute, and it was already difficult to survive just to survive, and it was almost impossible for them to unite, but in the end, it was the Dutch who had already made people resentful in Taiwan, but the external force was insufficient.

After all, these red-haired ghosts have already taken too much money, so much that these many broken households have long been hated in their hearts.

When Zheng Sen attacked Taiwan, it was half a year long after planning, tens of thousands of people had already prepared tools, stored food, and observed the road.

But in this time and space, the city of Gerancha, which was observed by Li Xiangqian, is a great tragedy at all, in fact, the so-called colonial army in this era is not called a professional soldier, but it is also a group of ordinary people, small citizens of the city, burned and looted in the outside world under the temptation of money, but in terms of overall quality, it is not comparable with the young people who have gone through countless war films in later generations.

He didn't know anything, he just thought that as usual, it was another indigenous disturbance, and his usual style was to fight, after all, there were only a few hundred people, and the number of civilians who came to beg for a living was almost endless.

In the minds of the natives, the Dutch must be so strong and invincible that they cannot resist, and any resistance will lead to brutal massacres, and only in this way can tens of thousands of people be ruled with the power of a few hundred people.

In later generations, those media controlled by foreigners, including huge interest groups from Weibo to videos, will spare no effort to promote foreigners to the top, and even jokes such as oil paper bags are believed by some people, and the reason is naturally very simple.

They need to maintain this mindset in order to make countless dollars in China.

In fact, the reason is very simple, if you support the domestic brand, the people who originally relied on imports and exports to sell foreign brands will be unemployed, and they will look at China's development with hatred, and they will naturally hate it in every way.

For Yu Yi, it is a public security operation, but for the squad leader Andre, every time he goes outside the city, it is a good time to make extra money, these red hair silk who went overseas is different from their descendants who can play with Chinese women everywhere with a white face, it is really difficult, the majority of the profits are those shareholders and officials, and the biggest source of interests for these small soldiers is still to wait until they go to the village to reap the benefits.

After leaving the city, Andre began to shoot and rob at will, as usual, after all, there are still many people who don't know the truth, as long as it is the property that they like, they are basically in their pockets, of course, they still use guns to force those original owners to bring it to themselves.

Andre followed the road forward, found that there were a lot of people gathered in front of him, it seemed that they were all eyeing each other, he didn't have a word, for him, killing people is not the goal, it is a means, after the chaos of peace, to give these natives a profound lesson, is the goal, of course, if you can follow those well-dressed natives, rush into their homes, confiscate the family property, naturally it is a better choice.

Without any shouting, Andrei looked at the distance and shouted: "Queue ready, ready, put!" ”

This distance is about 200 meters, which is not the range of the front-loading gun in his hand, but the first purpose of Andrei's trip is not to kill people, killing people is just a means, and after scaring the natives away, taking the opportunity to make money is the goal.

"Boom!"

The gunshots rang out, and Andrei just said: "Brothers, the opportunity to get rich has come, hurry up." ”

But I saw that the two soldiers next to him had fallen to the ground, covered in blood.

In such a noisy environment, of course, he couldn't distinguish the situation, and said angrily: "The muskets made by these highlanders are rotten, they are usually maintained, and they will explode at the critical moment!" ”

In this era, there was no standardized manufacturing of muskets, and there were no steel standards, and the iron used for muskets had bubbles in them, and after being used too many times, it was not uncommon to explode the chamber.

Especially Andre's Gerancha team, which was originally a **silk that couldn't survive in the homeland, and then it was sent to **silk-like Southeast Asia, the natives here are fierce, and it is not easy to make money, far less easy to bully than the natives like India, and they are relatively rich.

It is conceivable that the firearms used by Andrei's people are naturally very rudimentary, of course, it is still the same problem, giving Andre and them automatic rifles is excessive force, they are originally here to bully the local natives who have nothing.

could have come to make a fortune, but when he encountered the of the musket explosion, Andre was also annoyed, but he still had a clear share, money, those natives are pigs raised by the Dutch, the more money you make, sooner or later it will be theirs, but life is very precious.

If something happens today and you can't be treated in time, then from the perspective of others, won't you be able to get treatment the day after tomorrow, and in that case, who will do things for you.

"A few people will help the two fools carry them back and heal their injuries."

Andrei didn't have time to see if the injuries of the two people were blown up, but the next moment, he felt a huge gunshot in front of him, and a companion next to him, who originally wanted to help the unlucky guy who was injured by the musket, also fell to the ground, blood flowing.

Andre was different for a while, but suddenly it thought, "Could it be that the British are attacking us?" ”

In this era, the biggest enemy of the Dutch is naturally the British who will dominate the seven seas in the future, they compete with these Dutch in the seas of the world, both sides are two robbers who occupy the sea as kings, looking at the fat place that each other occupies is very greedy, the earth is too small, the sea is too small, only the next overlord, although it has not officially started, but both sides know that sooner or later they will meet each other, and they will not die.

Except for the British, almost no one dared to tease the tiger whiskers of the Dutch.

But the firearms of the British are too powerful, at least 200 meters away, but they are lying on the ground vilely, and they can't see the pattern clearly, but there are too many of them, I'm afraid that there are dozens of guns constantly firing.

Although the hit rate was extremely bad in Li Xiangqian's opinion, in Andrei's feeling, it was like hell, after finding out that it was not his own people's guns that exploded, but someone who kept besieging them with muskets, they were all lying on the ground, and they were blocked if they wanted to leave, and they were gradually outflanked.

Li Xiangqian is naturally qualified to complain, after all, even if Zheng Zhilong sent his own relatives to capture the city of Gelanza, but their use of the Mauser gun is still a little worse, of course, the strength is not small, and there will be no pitiful appearance of breaking a bone after firing a shot, but this hit rate is too poor, and he has the impression that he is better than them when he joins the recruit and even shoots the target for the first time.

But there is no need to complain, these excited men were still apprehensive at first, but then they found that the gun in their hands was really much more advanced than the musket of the red-haired ghost opposite, and they could hit again and again from such a distance, and the more they hit, the more morale they had.

This fear was gradually eliminated, although with the passage of time, basically the Dutch soldiers died, and they slipped away, and as for those who had been blocked from escaping and were afraid of being killed, they also used the ultimate means and surrendered.

Looking at the white flag waving in the distance, Li Xiangqian was happy, he didn't have any admiring foreign thoughts, nor did he have any overly radical nationalism, he always did things according to the rules, but the enemy army he knew in front of him was so easy to surrender, it was really difficult to understand, if it was himself, even if he was not defeated, he could just slip away, with the hit rate of these stupid people, he was really not afraid.

"Okay, the first stage is over, let your people cleanse the traitors outside the city, find all the people, and prepare to kill all the foreign devils in the city."

Although I don't want to make the contradictions too intense, but at this time, there are really some traitors who have gone too far to bully the Chinese, and Li Qianqian just briefly understood their past and sentenced them to death in his heart, but everything is for politics.

Just as the available people in the city of Geranza, even if you count all kinds of merchants, there are no more than a thousand, the Millennium Falcon can solve the problem in ten minutes, just let these Zheng Zhilong's people carry away the poor people who are paralyzed by electricity.

But after thinking about it, if it is the elders who will do things, then it will become another conqueror to conquer here, and the people here really have no sense of participation, and what they get in vain, no one cherishes.

An organization will only begin to build a little bit of belonging when you personally work for it and get rewards.

So, the Council of Elders was only going to provide arms and field command this time, and of course, with what they provided, that would be enough.

Andre, as the captain of the squad, is also the most afraid of death, even if there are indeed a few of his subordinates who rely on the cover of trees to run away, but there are also people who cheat when they run away, and they die there, so he simply lies there and does not move, and his heart is full of hatred for the British who do not declare war.

But the situation is stronger than people, fortunately, it is a war between civilized people, and it is not enough to slaughter prisoners, Andrei took off his white shirt, reluctantly used it as a white flag, and carried the white flag with a musket to surrender.

Andrei, who raised his hands, with a few small soldiers, just came out to surrender, he had to surrender, especially seeing the death and injury of his companions, unlike the touching lethality of musket marbles shrapnel in this era, the round-headed bullet of the Mauser gun already has a jumping function, that is, after being hit, it is definitely not a small opening, at least a big opening the size of a rice bowl, a large amount of blood loss, and he died on the spot.

In Andrei's eyes, this devil's weapon is simply terrifying, half of one person's body is gone, and the other is directly lifted from the hood, this way of death really makes him unable to muster up the courage, raised his hands, and walked out slowly.

Li Xiangqian's order still worked, since he was a prisoner, he hadn't lost his discipline to kill the prisoner, but he didn't care about the few frightened foreign invaders who were brought in front of him, but looked at it and said: "It's just such a group of cowards, but they dare to run away thousands of miles away to spread wild." ”

His words caused countless people to laugh, indeed, the red-haired devil, the guy in his hand, the days of bullying the guys are coming to an end.

Zheng Cai was about to flatter a few words about this senior member of the imperial court who came to supervise the war, but when he saw that his face was not good, he asked, "My lord?" ”

Li Xiangqian's face was very bad, he shook his head, and said: "No, it's that I think wrong, arrogant, they are not brave, they are not brave, they use bravery in the right place, and use it in the pursuit of wealth." ”

His mind stretched out to dream of seizing wealth and fulfilling dreams from the ports of Europe, piloting wooden ships of dubious quality, enduring all kinds of infectious diseases, and the difficult life of sailing.

This is already the pinnacle of human bravery.

As for surrender, the difference in weapons on both sides is too great, and fighting is already a senseless thing, this is a wise choice, and if you continue to fight, you will not be brave, but die in vain.

Courage is not a vain death.

Zheng Cai answered: "What the adults said is extremely true, these red-haired ghosts are really greedy for money to the bones, and it is time to teach them a good lesson." ”

"Who is not greedy for money? Hi. ”

Li Xiangqian thought of the villagers who fought for water and fought for water sources when he was in Jiangnan before, and thought of those people in the imperial capital who castrated themselves and pursued to enter the palace as eunuchs, but now they are people who can only survive.

Are they brave, brave, but for a little water, in order to be eunuchs, they have paid too much price.

Courage is in the wrong place.

Just like the Europeans, are they really bolder than us, but they are just lucky, after controlling the New World, the countless wealth of the New World has helped the Europeans to feed countless off-the-job scientists and upgrade science and technology.

Li Xiangqian secretly vowed that he must let those bravery and blood be used where they should be shed, and on fighting for the interests of China.

The fate of human beings is really so bizarre, the children of later generations, how advanced the white people in Europe and the United States are, in fact, it is countless such white soldiers in front of them, who earn it back little by little with their lives, and countless wealth is transported back to the homeland to build the country, so that there will be the prosperity of Europe in later generations.

"Ask them what their names are, and how many Dutch soldiers there are in the city."

Although Li Xiangqian can't understand Dutch, fortunately, the Zheng family has been doing business with these guys for many years, and there are a few gentlemen who can be interpreters.

Andre's words were very intense, and Li Xiangqian asked, "What, you refuse to answer?" ”
