Chapter 181: Fusion
Somewhat similar to the way he subdued the Seattle tribe, Fu Guan took the Red Wolf and the Little Chieftain Gate to visit the factories, schools, and farmlands of the Ming Territory, making these people feel like they were dreaming. Fu Guan formulated a system similar to state management for Red Wolf, and told him to go back and rule his tribe according to these methods. Originally, he wanted Seattle to go, but Seattle resolutely didn't go, he thought that the people who became the territory of the Ming army were more superior, and if he had the ability to manage a country, he would naturally obey orders, but he couldn't do it yet, and he didn't have that much ability. Red Wolf went back with his tribal soldiers, along with more than a dozen soldiers and craftsmen of the Ming army, who would help Red Wolf build a more complete country, and these dozen people were Red Wolf's staff team.
After returning to the territory, the red wolf soon sent a large amount of food and prey, as well as thousands of children, these children are between the ages of eight or nine to eleven or twelve, food and prey are their tuition, they will be in school with those children in Seattle, read and write, and receive the brainwashing education of Ming culture. There is no element of compulsion here, the red wolf got the truth from Seattle to become smarter, only by knowing those square words, can he record his own lessons and let future generations continue to accumulate this knowledge, so that one generation will be smarter than the next. The Ming people who are far away on another continent have more power than their fellow sects here, and the reason is these square words.
There are not a few people like the red wolf who think like this, but more and more, and then there are more and more children who come to study in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which was limited to the southeast plateau at first, and gradually the people on the Great Plains to the east also began to come, Fu Guan had to open more schools to meet the needs of these children, and the red wolf and those tribes also reached a tacit agreement that they should not attack each other against these children who went to school, and allowed them to move freely between the Ming territory and the tribe. When the relationship is friendly, the war is meaningless, everyone is brothers, harmony makes money, and the problems that can be solved through negotiation are not in the war, and the problems that are really difficult to solve are to find Fu Guan of the Ming Territory to adjudicate. After a long time, the Ming Territory became the leader of this region, and the sphere of influence gradually spread to the depths of the North American continent, and the population of the Ming Territory also merged with the local residents.
The traditional culture of the Ming Dynasty was integrated into the North American continent, and it was not like the Spaniards who carried out ideological transformation and changed their beliefs in a forced way, but like mercury pouring into the ground, pervasive, so that they themselves were willing to learn, so as to achieve water melting and completely form a new culture.
There is also an advantage to the friendship of the red wolf tribe, from the small town of Seattle to the hundreds of miles of coastal areas in the south, it has also become the economic area of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhao Shujiao and Mangui can not build too big sea ships, but the general big ships that can travel in the offshore sea can still be manufactured, and the cannon is impossible to load on the ship, but like mortars, hand-cranked machine guns can still be on the ship, in the current time period, this can also be said to be an invincible existence, the general wooden ship, with the hand-cranked machine gun can be penetrated, Not to mention the fact that the mortar * can completely blow up everything on a wooden ship and turn it into a torch.
The continuous expansion and growth of the Ming territory, the continuous enhancement of economic strength, the manufacture of better and better weapons, in North America in the influence of more and more deep, followed by a more profound impact, many close tribes began to unite, they abandoned the past grievances, formed a management class, the initial prototype of the country. Disputes between tribes decreased, and wars slowly began to break out between the emerging nations, but there were no major conflicts, and they were all recuperating and trying to build their own countries.
On the border of the Spanish colonies, the Indians rebelled more and more fiercely, both because of the disorientation of the people and the fanning of the Ming army, and the indigenous people in the vicinity began to flee to the north and west. The Spanish colonizers naturally did not want to see a large number of laborers, so they planned to plunder the labor of the indigenous people by force, and conflicts between the two sides began to become frequent.
In December of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Spain used fifty warships to set off from San Diego City to attack the newly built coastal town of Fu Guanzhen of the Ming Dynasty, which was the San Francisco of the later generations, this town was the place obtained by the Ming Dynasty and the Red Wolf Tribe, in the sketch map handed over by Zhu Youxiao, this is a very important place, Fu Guan let Man Gui come here with his troops, and Man Gui, who had arrived here since September, immediately began to build a wall on the peninsula, The small village with only a few hundred Indians here immediately became lively, and more than 5,000 people quickly accumulated, and the goods of the Ming Dynasty, including weapons, were quickly transported here, forming a commodity distribution center.
Many people who escaped from the Spanish colonists came to this town called Fu Guan along the coastline, and a large number of iron weapons appeared, which also attracted the attention of the Spaniards, more than a month ago, they finally discovered this town, they concentrated the largest naval force on the west coast of the Americas, that is, these forty or fifty warships, which is also the only port that Niu Jinxing and Yu Hualong did not discover, otherwise, they would not be able to organize even a small fleet now, they plan to attack this town, Destroy the source of Indian weapons, and by the way, take some Indian slaves back to work, lest the cost of labor become higher and higher.
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. The Spaniards' idea was indeed good, but the mistake was that they met the army of the Ming Dynasty. After discovering the Spanish fleet, they quickly prepared, anyway, now the town is just a wall, just use it as a trench, load all the hand-cranked machine guns on the ship, and wait for the Spanish warships to enter the harbor of the peninsula to block their retreat, and the mortars are placed in the small city as a weapon to suppress the opponent's charge, but unfortunately the enemy's naval guns are farther than the mortars, and this distance must be given up to avoid unnecessary casualties.
The Indian inhabitants were evacuated by Mangui, this is not a tribe to deal with the red wolves, they have no long-range weapons, these Spanish warships can have artillery, although the iron balls they shoot are not very powerful, but they will also kill people, it is better to keep them away.
At last the Spanish fleet arrived, and began to fire on the town on the shore of the peninsula, and for a time hundreds of guns on forty or fifty warships fired an overwhelming barrage of iron bullets. Fortunately, Man Gui was prepared, and the soldiers evacuated far away from this distance, leaving only a few soldiers who were observing, and did not cause any casualties, secretly calling luck in their hearts.
After half an hour of bombardment, the Spanish soldiers lined up in a neat line and began to attack in a regular manner. Looking at these dense formations, Man Gui couldn't help but be happy, isn't this a formation looking for death? In the face of such a dense formation of flowering mortars, a single shell will kill a large area! Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless. The rudimentary wall had been smashed to pieces, and the neat Spanish attacking team was a little scattered here, and Man Gui, who could clearly see it in the telescope, missed the opportunity to shell the first shell, waiting for them to walk through the wall.
Eight squares, more than 1,600 people, all passed through the wall, and Man Guigen did not let the soldiers shoot, but let more than a dozen mortars bombard each phalanx directly from the back to the front, requiring rapid artillery, no need to aim carefully, after the covering bombing once, open the cannon freely, as long as there is a place where people gather. The backward combat formation and stubborn combat mode completely lost the offensive power of the Spaniards, and the soldiers who were not killed were still advancing with their heads held high, and they did not have the consciousness of lying down to avoid the shells at all, and after the explosions were dispersed, they quickly concentrated in crowded places in an attempt to form a large firing phalanx, but the result was that they continued to be shelled, and the distance of less than 60 zhang was covered with bloody corpses, and not even half of the soldiers who entered the firing range were not even half.
As the Ming army lying on the ground in the improvised trench continued to shoot, the formation of the square continued to decrease, and finally did not wait to enter the range of their own muskets, the Spanish soldiers began to rout, because they didn't see the bullets coming from anywhere at all, they were all lined up to shoot in formation, thinking that the opponent would shoot like this, then they would think that the opponents were lying on the ground, and the invisible enemy was the most terrible, this truth was the same everywhere, terrible to a certain extent, it was a psychological breakdown. Man Gui didn't dare to let the soldiers pursue, for fear that the Spanish warship would open fire again, so he could only watch them flee back, and it was estimated that they would not be able to escape in the end, and there were machine guns on the ship waiting for them.
There were less than three hundred soldiers who fled back, and there were no more than seven or eight hundred soldiers on the ship, Man Gui was very worried about them, that is, how to explain when he went back, but he was worried in vain, because it didn't take long for more than a dozen officers to come down from the warship, and they walked towards the dilapidated town with white flags, and Man Gui understood that they were going to negotiate.
Man Gui naturally doesn't speak Spanish, and the negotiation has an interpreter in the Ming army, originally the Spaniards thought they were all indigenous Indians, and Man Gui naturally dressed himself up like an Indian, and he was still not prepared to reveal his true strength. The defeated Spaniards did not have any sense of the losers, and even demanded that they compensate for the losses and return the bodies of the soldiers killed in the battle, otherwise a large number of Spanish warships would come to retaliate next time. Man Gui took them directly to the flotilla that outflanked the rear route, and then ordered the machine gun to fire at a wooden boat, and after two rows of bullets, the wooden boat was a big hole. Then Man Gui took them back directly, and asked the soldiers who knew Spanish to tell them to leave them two boats to pull the corpses back, and leave all the rest, otherwise all of them would be sunk, and none of them would be left, and all the soldiers would not be taken prisoner.
