Chapter 1990: The Haitian Island Rebellion Suppressed
Marin had just signed the order for the reward for Bard when the confidential secretary sent information from the Americas that the army of Santo Domingo had defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the native Carlos.
"Is it so easy?" Marin was a little stunned. But after reading the information, I took it for granted again.
Intelligence said that after the mission left, Tara quickly sent a fleet of 5,000 reinforcements from the Havana colony to Santo Domingo. At the same time, 500 Taíno puppet troops were also sent to help deal with the Taíno natives on the island of Haiti.
The role of these 500 Taíno puppet army is not to help fight, but to help manage the captured Taíno prisoners of war. Among the 500 people, there are dozens of puppet soldiers who have been able to communicate with the Germans. Some of them may not have a complete grasp of the German language, but they can already understand the meaning of the German officers. Then, these dozens of translators conveyed the meaning of the Beihai officers to the others, and then let them manage the Taíno captives......
As for the battle, the process was so simple that even Marin was shocked - the commander in charge of the battle, Knight Origi, learned the whereabouts of Carlos, the leader of the Taíno rebels, with only a small means. Then, sending a large army to make a surprise attack, he killed Carlos......
The specific situation is like this, after Origi arrived in Santo Domingo with his troops, he did not immediately send troops, but first personally led people to climb the hill and observe the enemy situation with binoculars.
One day, Origi used his binoculars to spot a village where an Indian had suddenly broken into the house of several strong Indian soldiers. Then, the woman who appeared to be from the family was snatched by several soldiers armed with weapons. The young man from the Native American family could only weep in despair as a couple of armed Indian soldiers snatched what appeared to be his wife. Through the binoculars, Origi saw his angry expression......
Obviously, Carlos's soldiers had poor military discipline and were actually harming the people under his rule......
This is a common problem of the army in the old era, as long as the management is not strict, the soldiers of the old era will often have bold people to oppress the people.
The problem of soldiers messing around has always been a big problem in ancient times. It was only after the advent of disciplined armies in modern times that the problem slowly improved. But even so, in the 20th century, the army of devils was still inferior to beasts. The old American GIs were no better, and a lot of things were done. It was not until the late 20th century that military discipline was generally better.
Of course, because Ma Lin came from Huaxia, where the army was the most disciplined in later generations, he grasped this aspect very well. As an officer of the North Sea Kingdom, Origi is also very well-behaved, and he does not allow soldiers to mess around.
However, through this experience, he thought of a question - the indigenous man who was bullied by the rebel soldiers was probably already disappointed and even hated by the rebels at this time......
At first, Origi actually led people to grab a few "tongues" and wanted to ask Carlos about his whereabouts. However, what made him depressed was that several of the people they caught really didn't know, or didn't care about Carlos's whereabouts. And the rest of them, two of them are Carlos's die-hard loyalists and are very hostile to European colonizers. Therefore, Origi has not been able to open the gap before. But seeing what happened to the poor indigenous man, Origi felt that an opportunity had come......
So, that night, Origi sent someone to quietly knock the man unconscious and take him to the woods, where he communicated with him through a Taíno interpreter. Through interrogation, sure enough, the wife of this thin Indian named Xiaoshu was snatched away by several standing army soldiers under the command of Carlos.
After sending a few bags of compressed biscuits and dried bananas to Xiaoshu, Xiaoshu gradually let down his guard and communicated with Origi. According to Xiaoshu, the current population controlled by Carlos has reached more than 100,000 people, with as many as 30,000 strong men. However, influenced by the knowledge he learned from the Spaniards, Carlos did not recruit more than 30,000 strong men into the army, but usually let everyone grow sweet potatoes and cassava at home and hunt in order to be self-sufficient. As for Carlos, there are actually only more than 3,000 standing troops.
But once war broke out, Carlos would order all the men under his command to take up arms and join the army.
Just like a small tree, although it is thin and weak, it also needs to pick up sharpened sticks to participate in the war in wartime. Ordinary individual soldiers may not dare to bully him. However, this time it was several soldiers of the standing army who came to rob his wife, and he was powerless to fight.
You must know that the standing army soldiers left behind by Carlos are often the strongest ones. Xiaoshu is already thin and weak, and even a standing army soldier can't beat him, let alone a few? Therefore, he could only watch as these rebel standing army soldiers snatched his wife......
"My lord, if you are willing to help me get my wife back, I am willing to find out the location of the leader of Carlos for you!" Xiaoshu decisively betrayed the leader of their clan for the sake of his wife.
It is no wonder that the establishment of the country was originally to protect the family. If the power of the country is a scourge on one's own family, who is especially patriotic? Faced with the Taíno soldiers who plagued his small family, Xiaoshu, who was a Taíno man, chose to take back his wife without hesitation......
In order to obtain information, Origi also mobilized more than a dozen of the most elite people in the army, and before dawn, rushed to the outpost where the standing army soldiers were stationed, killed more than a dozen rebel soldiers inside, and rescued Xiaoshu's wife, who was covered in bruises.
Seeing his wife's tragic experience, Xiaoshu was extremely angry. After setting his wife in place, Xiaoshu did not hesitate to go to the mountains to find traces of Carlos......
Two days later, the little tree returned from the mountains. He first went to the place where his wife was housed, and after seeing that Origi and his party did not embarrass his wife and gave his wife a lot of delicious food, Xiaoshu finally began to trust Origi and revealed Carlos's traces to Origi.
"Have you climbed over 3 hills...... 1500 standing army? ”
After much thought, Origi finally decided to take the risk. He selected 1,000 elites, 500 of whom were absolute elites wearing rhinoceros skin armor.
Then, Origi personally led the 1,000 men, led by a small tree familiar with the local terrain, over the mountains, avoiding the rebel warning area, and touched the village in the valley where Carlos was located.
After resting on the hill for the night, as soon as dawn the next day, Origi led 1,000 men and 500 sword and shield soldiers in rhinoceros leather armor as the vanguard, and went straight into the valley......
Carlos put up a desperate resistance with his standing army, counterattacking with a European-style recurve bow. It's a pity that at the forefront are 500 sword and shield soldiers wearing rhinoceros leather armor, who are not afraid of bows and arrows at all.
Then, at the cost of only 15 wounded men, Origi completely annihilated the main force of the 1500 rebel standing army, including Carlos.
After killing Carlos, Origi did not stop, but hurriedly withdrew to Santo Domingo with Carlos's body, and after touching Carlos's body to salt and embalming, it was hung outside the city of Santo Domingo......
So, after losing Carlos, the leader with a little knowledge, the rebels near Santo Domingo went into chaos......
Because there was no one to manage them, the rebels began to fight separately and could no longer form a scale. Then, Origi directly sent troops to break through, swept the indigenous villages that participated in the rebellion, and took a large number of people outside the castle of Santo Domingo to concentrate on it. At the same time, wait for the 2,000 Mao father-in-law to carefully screen whether the locals have syphilis. Those who suffered from syphilis were placed in other places, and those who did not suffer from syphilis were sent to Guantanamo first and then to the North American colonies.
By the time the report was sent to Marin's desk, the 5,000 soldiers and horses under Origi's command had basically cleared out more than 100 villages under Carlos's command that participated in the rebellion, and the indigenous rebellion on the island of Haiti had officially been quelled......
