Chapter 260: Chaos in West Africa (4)
After leaving the battlefield, Zhu Kezhen also led the soldiers to follow the fleeing Endaru and them, and then caught up more than ten miles away, not that there was any village or anything like that, but these people couldn't walk anymore, the escape just now had exhausted their strength, and after staying away from danger, after they sat down, they went to the strength to act, and they lay on the ground one by one and couldn't move, even Ndaru, who had better physical fitness, was so tired that he was panting, and he was more frightened.
After Zhu Kezhen caught up with Ndaru and them, Ndaru came to him with five chiefs to thank him, and then told Zhu Kezhen that they were so hungry that they really didn't have the strength to walk, and they didn't even have the strength to walk back to the tribe's residence. Zhu Kezhen had no choice but to let the soldiers take out all the food they carried, and then let the soldiers hunt some small animals around, such as hares, goats, etc., with enough salt, plus some spices, and had a large-scale barbecue picnic here.
The next thing was unexpected, Zhu Kezhen and Ndaru took these people back to Endaru's tribe, these people were unwilling to return to their tribe station, first, there was nothing there, and second, Zhu Kezhen's barbecued food was too delicious, hoping to follow Zhu Kezhen's troops all the time. The five chieftains who followed Ndaru after deliberation jointly elected Ndaru as their new chieftain and re-formed a large tribe, and this tribe was basically all young people, full of passion and fighting spirit, they asked Zhu Kezhen to give them weapons, and were willing to fight with Zhu Kezhen to avenge their dead comrades. This situation was obviously beyond Zhu Kezhen's right to decide, so Zhu Kezhen had no choice but to send someone to report to Sun Yuzhi and let Sun Yuzhi make a decision.
After receiving Zhu Kezhen's report, Sun Yuzhi thought about it for a while, and felt that things seemed to have changed a little, maybe he could get more benefits in this area, anyway, there were a lot of weapons stored here, and if he could arm these people, it would be a big force. Zhu Youxiao's intentions Zhu Sun Yuzhi knows very well that only when other people's families are in turmoil, can they develop smoothly, whether it is the Kingdom of Congo or the Ronda Empire, these are just countries that the Ming Dynasty supports in order to control the resources of Africa, and the Ming Dynasty's own manpower and material resources are also limited, and it is impossible to control all the forces here.
Sun Yuzhi did not hesitate too much, and immediately informed several combat teams operating in this area of his plan, in addition to testing new weapons and combat methods, if possible, to rescue those black people who had been taken captive, and then handed them over to Zhu Kezhen's troops. As for Zhu Kezhen, they began to take root in the tribe of Ndaru, trained the young people who could be armed, formed a tribal army, and provided weapons, food and other materials in advance, and then transported them by the team sent by Sun Yuzhi.
Things changed a little too fast, Zhu Kezhen quickly changed from the captain of the special forces to the local consul, fortunately, Zhu Kezhen belongs to the prodigy of both civil and military, and he can quickly adapt to the new appointment, and this problem was solved in just a few months. The Ndaru tribe rejuvenated, and more than 1,500 good boys were selected from among them, and these people were relatively physical and smart. Zhu Kezhen divided these people into a group of fifteen people, and the group leader was Zhu Kezhen's soldiers, and these people were trained intensively for a hundred days, with military training during the day and literacy learning at night.
Africa is not as scarce as it was in later generations, and now there is plenty of food for all kinds of wild animals, and even the land is very fertile, but the inhabitants are too lazy. Under the organization of Zhu Kezhen, the life and production of the tribe soon got on the right track, and those who went out to participate in military training, other people were also organized to cultivate land and mine, and then exchange these materials with the materials transported by Sun Yuzhi, so that they could develop a good habit of self-reliance and self-reliance, so as not to always rely on the supply of the Ming Dynasty and become a burden to the Ming Dynasty, which has a profound lesson in later generations. Secondly, they must also be controlled in weapons and equipment, so that they will always have dependence on the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, which is a trick for the United States to have a decisive say on its allies and Russia's arms purchases from India.
There are a few similar situations in Zhu Kezhen's troops, but Sun Yuzhi did not do all of them, only supported Zhu Kezhen's troops, and let the other troops only assist the rapid development of the Ndaru tribe. It's not good to do things too obviously, and now there are two relatively powerful countries in West Africa - the Kingdom of Congo and the Talon Empire, which are the forces cultivated by the Daimyo Kingdom and Xinyingtian, in fact, the biggest backstage is still Daming, but Daming did not come forward directly, and Sun Yuzhi is not good at cultivating more forces, which is also a reason.
Ndaru's armed forces, now more like a local separatist force, did not announce the establishment of a state, but with the direct support of Sun Yuzhi, after three months of training by Zhu Kezhen and his special forces, he soon had an army with extraordinary combat power. The next thing to do is to go around and rescue the blacks who have been taken captive by slave traders in England and France, something that does not exist in history. As a result of the existence of this powerful force, the large-scale slave trade, which had just begun, was stifled in the early stages of its germination, so that the size of Africa's population was not decreasing, and it was basically developing normally.
Historically, southern Africa was the hardest hit area of the slave trade, especially along the coast of West Africa, which caused Africa to lose more than 100 million people, resulting in the decline of Africa's traditional civilization and economic and social regression. The slave trade also gave birth to racial discrimination against black people. The slave trade accelerated the primitive accumulation of capital in Europe and provided labor for the development of the Americas. Through humiliating forced migration, the black slaves brought the ancient African culture to the Americas, which had a significant impact on the formation and development of the American culture later. But now the history has changed, due to the strong intervention of the Ming Dynasty, which completely affected the original accumulation of European capital, and also left valuable human resources for Africa, and also accumulated a large number of labor for the Ming to obtain the resources here, which promoted the faster development of the Ming Dynasty.
The development of the form became more and more unfavorable to the Nordic countries such as England and France, which forced them to start to change their minds, since the small-scale captivity of black slaves was not possible, then large-scale troop operations were carried out, and more troops were called up from within the country, which made the atmosphere of war here more tense, and the Kingdom of Kongo and the Talon Empire also began to expand their armaments so as not to lose the war.
After a large-scale adjustment, the various forces in Africa began to prepare for large-scale wars, England, France and other Nordic countries also have their own historical heritage in this area, that is to say, they also have their own agents here, and through these agents control a large number of places, and now they have stabilized these places, not to plunder these places, but to arm the tribes they control, let them attack their comrades, causing mutual vendetta between tribes, Sitting on the profits of the fisherman, and gathering the main force, he intends to wait until the Kingdom of Kongo, the Dalon Empire, and even the Spanish and German coalition forces have a flaw, and come to a fatal blow.
Through the information transmitted by several special forces, Sun Yuzhi also saw this information, so he ordered these troops to return to the team, and then summed up the combat experience and lessons at this stage, trained them according to the characteristics of the English and French troops, and prepared to give them a fatal blow at the critical time of the war. When the time comes, it will be enough to send some advisers to assist in the battle.
