Chapter 803: Occupy Australia (3)

In fact, what Yan Yingyuan wanted to do was very simple, unlike the cruelty and high pressure of the British, Yan Yingyuan did not intend to continue to brutally oppress these natives. Long before sending troops to Australia, Zhu Cicheng had another holy decree, so that his Fourth Army should have good relations with the local Australian aborigines as much as possible, with cooperation and assimilation as the ultimate goal.

Although colonial wars are mostly brutal and bloody, it also depends on the situation.

Does the Ming need to be brutal in Australia? Not really!

There are only about 800,000 aborigines in the whole of Australia, and now after tens of thousands of people have been killed by the British, it should be less than 800,000. This is not the main thing, the main thing is that these Australian aborigines are all yellow-skinned people, the same as the Chinese people.

The so-called Yidi into China, then China, China into Yidi, then Yidi.

The ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor annexed thousands of tribes and merged into the Chinese nation. Qin broke through the Yiqu, Baiyue tribes, and after assimilating many tribes in the Han Dynasty, they melted into the Han people.

Chinese civilization has never been based on blood, but on cultural identity, writing, language, clothing, customs, and so on.

There are nearly 800,000 indigenous Australians, who have a similar appearance to the Han Chinese, they are not civilized, they are still in the Stone Tool and Tribal Age, they have no history of their own, they do not have their own writing, and even the language of each tribe is different.

But the Han people have the most glorious civilization and history in the world, and if one day the Australian aborigines forget that they are indigenous, speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, wear Hanfu, live Han customs, and reminisce about Chinese history and heroes, they are also a Han people.

With a population of nearly 170 million, is it still difficult to assimilate the indigenous Australians with a population of less than 800,000?

Soon, the Ming soldiers brought in a large amount of grain and distributed it to the natives of more than a dozen gathering areas.

When these grain bags were opened and the grain was revealed, all the Aboriginal Australians showed their longing. However, they looked at the rifles in the hands of the Ming soldiers in fear, and did not dare to rush over to get them.

"Put away the gun!" Yan Yingyuan looked at this situation, smiled with white teeth, and with a wave of his hand, the rifles of the surrounding Ming soldiers were put away.

Immediately, Yan Yingyuan pointed to the stacked grain and tried to show a kind smile.

Although those natives are natives and uncivilized, they are not human beings after all, they have their own thinking, and they are not all stupid, and soon they understood what Yan Yingyuan meant, and rushed up to snatch the food in ecstasy.

Many natives seem to be overly hungry, and regardless of whether the food is raw or cooked, they put it in their mouths and chew vigorously.

After a while, the whole city of Sydney was full of smoke, not only the natives needed a full meal, but the Ming soldiers also needed a full meal, and the Ming army also provided iron pots for the natives to cook alive food.

After a full meal, the natives looked at the Ming army with gratitude and kindness.

Yan Yingyuan and a large number of Ming soldiers also smiled kindly.

Of course, Yan Yingyuan never intended to release these 5,000 young and strong natives, he did not intend to learn from the British to enslave them in cruel methods, but to adopt the method of cooperation and assimilation, but it did not mean that he wanted to release these 5,000 young and strong natives.

Even some natives wanted to leave after they were full, but they were immediately stopped by the Ming soldiers raising their guns, so frightened that the legs of those natives who wanted to leave were weak and retreated back in fear, and the expression of looking at the Ming army became frightened and uncertain again.

After about some time, the young and strong natives seemed to have elected a few representatives, and they came to Yan Yingyuan with trepidation.

"One of the natives said something to Yan Yingyuan, but Yan Yingyuan obviously didn't understand the natives.

However, even if you don't understand it, it's not hard to guess what it means, it's nothing more than asking if you can let them go.

Yan Yingyuan didn't intend to pay attention to this, he expressed it according to his own meaning.

Yan Yingyuan first pointed to a stone on the ground, and then pointed to the leftover food, expressing his intention to let these natives continue to work to expand the city of Sydney, and they provided food.

The meaning is also not difficult to understand, after several indigenous representatives learned what Yan Yingyuan meant, they were furious and panicked, thinking that Yan Yingyuan and other Ming troops also planned to enslave them like the British.

Although they were angry, these indigenous representatives did not dare to show any intention of resisting, after all, they had no power to resist, and resisting was tantamount to death.

Yan Yingyuan smiled and glanced at several natives, understanding the reason for their anger, but his meaning was not fully expressed.

Immediately, Yan Yingyuan stretched out his hand to draw the mud and sand on the ground.

This is a schematic diagram of the sun and the earth's plane, which Yan Yingyuan divided into three sections.

The first paragraph is in the morning, Yan Yingyuan is talking and demonstrating, which means nothing more than that after getting up in the morning, there is a breakfast, and then work for two hours, the sun will rest and eat again at noon, and then rest for one hour, work for two hours in the afternoon, and then eat and rest, and do not work at night.

To put it simply, it is a four-hour work day with three meals, not slavery.

After several indigenous representatives understood Yan Yingyuan's meaning through demonstration and action, they breathed a sigh of relief, showed their goodwill again, and expressed their excitement in indigenous language for a while, and then they returned to the indigenous people and conveyed Yan Yingyuan's meaning to other indigenous people.

The natives were tortured and killed by the British, and did not dare to resist, although they were not satisfied that the Ming army could not let them go immediately, but they did not stop there, they did not dare to express it, even if the Ming army did not let them go, at least they would not torture, enslave and kill them at will like the British.

Immediately, the 5,000 young and strong natives unanimously stayed in the city of Sydney and continued to expand the city.

This can be regarded as the initial resettlement of the 5,000 young and strong natives, and the next thing is to send people to teach them language and culture in the future, etc., as well as how to exterminate the 3,000 British ** team that fled into the depths of the continent. Although the strength of the 3,000 British ** team is not worth mentioning compared to the 13,000 Ming army, it is necessary to exterminate it.

And if you want to exterminate the British, you must first find the British.

Yan Yingyuan immediately found the indigenous representatives just now, and at the same time dragged a few corpses of the British, and demonstrated and expressed to several indigenous representatives, meaning to let them help find the fleeing British ** team.

The aborigines' hatred of the British is undoubtedly huge, their former tribe was destroyed, how many tribes were killed by the British, including their relatives, even wives and children, etc., and they were captured and enslaved for so long, they only ate one meal a day, and they had to do a day of coolies, and every day their rebellious companions were killed, or they couldn't bear to be enslaved to death, so when they understood Yan Yingyuan's meaning, several indigenous representatives were full of hatred and had nothing to say, immediately expressed his willingness to help Yan Yingyuan and other Ming troops find the escaped 3,000 British ** team.

The environment of the Australian continent is most familiar to the people than the local aborigines, no matter how the British hide, they are not familiar with the environment, how can they not hide from the Ming army led by the natives.

Immediately, Yan Yingyuan left 7,000 Ming soldiers to stay in Sydney City, and he took the other 6,000 Ming soldiers to ride on war horses, form an iron cavalry, and take a few natives out of Sydney City to find and destroy the 3,000 fleeing ** team.
