Chapter 298

That's fate!

When he fell off the horse, Li Weizan, who felt a sharp pain all over his body, thought to himself in his heart.

"Daddy......"

Listening to his son's shouting, seeing that his son seemed to want to come back to save himself, Li Weizan shouted loudly.

"Go back, get out of ......"

While shouting and scolding, he hurriedly drew his knife, crossed it around his neck, stared at his son and yelled.

"Let's go!"

At this time, if the son comes back, both of them will die here, when they first came here, I don't know how many people lost their lives because of this, if the son fell off the horse, the father can take his life in exchange, but he ...... It's old.

It's not worth the son's life in exchange. That's why he wanted to force his son to leave in this way, he was not the first person to do so, and more than one person had used this method to force away his son who wanted to save him.

"Daddy......"

As soon as Li Yizhi wanted to turn the horse's head, he saw that his father had put the knife across his neck, and his tears were instantly blindfolded.

"Let's go, third!"

Liang Cheng next to him pulled the reins of his horse and whipped the body of the horse hard.

"Daddy......"

When leaving, Li Yizhi looked at his father again, and his father was still half-kneeling there.

Broken leg......

Struggling to stand up, Li Weizan, who found that his leg was broken, smiled helplessly, looking at the more and more natives, he still didn't have the courage to cut down with the knife between his neck.

Can't do it......

Just then, he saw something black flying towards him, an axe.

"Knock ......"

When the tomahawk hit his chest, as he fell, Li Weizan looked down at the axe that was slashed in his chest, and the man slowly fell.

Suddenly, a horse stopped beside him, and from the horse, a native painted red and wearing a feather on his head jumped down, and the native crouched beside him with a shout, and then took out a dagger and slashed it in front of his forehead.

"Hereby ......"

As the knife slashed across his scalp, despite his confusion, he could still hear the sound of his scalp being cut off.

In a sharp pain, Li Weizan felt as if his head had been ripped off, and in a ghostly howl, he vaguely saw the man grasping a bloody mass in his hand, howling there, and when the tomahawk on his chest was removed, his consciousness finally disappeared......

A few cannon shots rang out, and the natives approaching the bazaar were dispersed by the shotguns, and they left the bazaar with the loot they had taken from the settlement, and behind the walls of the bazaar, the immigrants with firearms in their hands all looked angrily at the departing natives, and in the distance, on the horizon, the rising pillars of smoke reminded them that their homes had been burned down, and that they had once again lost their homes and even their loved ones.

While the adults were looking at the natives angrily, the children were staring into the distance with hatred, although they did not need to worry about the attacks of the natives most of the time, but in every attack, some of them lost their loved ones.

"We should kill them!"

Liang Ending, who was only thirteen years old, held the fire gun tightly, and did not hesitate in the slightest when he spit out this sentence.

"None of them will be left!"

"Yes, kill them all!"

"Kill all the Red Devils!"

Unlike their parents, in their young minds, the Red Ghost has brought them too many painful memories, and it seems that the Red Ghost has never brought them any good memories except death.

"Hmph, kill them all, you think well, don't forget, in the Doge's Palace, those pedantic officials don't say anything, the red ghosts are the same color as us, we should be friendly to them, win them over, only by joining forces with them can we fight the Spaniards......"

Li Yi, who was a little older, sneered.

There have always been such voices in the Viceroyalty of the New Town Colony, who advocate the assimilation of the natives with their broad-mindedness and benevolence, in order to make up for their lack of strength, and in their opinion the barbarians can be edified/

"They're, I only know that the one who killed my mother wasn't a Spaniard, it was a red ghost!"

"Yes, and my grandfather!"

"And my dad......"

Almost every child has their own painful memories, and almost every family has someone who died at the hands of the Red Devil.

The children's emotions are direct and pure, they are not able to understand, what is the conflict between countries, nor can they understand that the greatest threat to the new city is the opinion of the Spaniards, who, in their opinion, are too far away and the natives too close.

When the children were there to take revenge on the natives with hateful words, Zhao Cheng, as the mayor of the town, looked at the natives who were far away and smiled helplessly.

"At least, they didn't set fire to the wheat fields, which is a blessing in misfortune, now let's count the casualties......

Again, after making sure that the natives had left, and after another day of waiting, a troop of horsemen came to the market, and under the protection of the cavalry, the lost people returned to their homes and rebuilt their homes once more.

"Master Jun, when are you going to kill all those natives!"

In the face of the people's inquiry, these soldiers who had just arrived chose to remain silent, although their faces were full of anger, but they could only forcibly suppress the anger in their hearts, after all...... Without fate, they cannot act on their own unless they happen to encounter the natives who are attacking the settlement.

"If they dare to come......"

The soldier's answer was met with angry scolding from the people.

"you!"

Again, in the governor's palace, a roar shook everyone outside the house, and they were all stunned.

"You always say that the Spaniards, the Spaniards, they haven't killed any of us, we won't expand to New Spain for at least ten or twenty years, and they also recognize our occupation here, but if it goes on like this, before we have a conflict with them, even the natives can kill us all!"

Glaring at Zhang Ying, Xu Eryuan shouted angrily.

"In the long run, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, haven't you already ordered the cavalry team to pursue, as long as you find them, you will definitely make them pay for this attack, they killed the three of us, this time, if they don't hand over ten heads, this official will never let them go!"

Zhang Ying blushed and smiled, trying to calm Xu Eryuan's anger. Then he said earnestly.

"In the long run, you have to understand the big picture, what is the big picture? We came to North America very late, and the Spaniards have been here for more than 100 years, they have been in business for many years, and they have a population of millions, why do we tolerate the Philippines in the place where we are sleeping, isn't it because once we attack the Philippines, the Viceroyalty of New Spain will attack the new city? Therefore, we must strengthen our own strength as soon as possible, and this power is not enough for us alone, we must be like the Nanyang Zhuxia to educate and comfort the living fan, if we can recruit these red fans for our use, in the long run, when the time comes, we can confront the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and when the time comes, the imperial court will be able to take the Philippines down, instead of letting it sleep peacefully in the couch like now......"

Zhang Ying's serious words made Xu Eryuan sneer.

"Governor, the lower officials don't know what the overall situation is, the lower officials only know, as the chief inspector, if the safety of the people can't be guaranteed, this inspection is a dereliction of duty, the lower officials come this time, one is to report the casualties to you, please ask the governor's palace to face up to the threat of Hongfan, as for the second, ......"

With a cold smile, Xu Eryuan said directly.

"That is, as an inspector, the lower official will protect the safety of the people at all costs, at all costs, regardless of the cost!"

"You, Xu Eryuan, do you want to spoil this official and fail to do it!"

Zhang Ying's face changed suddenly, put away the smile on her face, and said coldly.

"Don't forget, this official is the Governor of the New City Colony!"

Seeing that he Zhang Ying took out his official authority to threaten, Xu Eryuan sneered.

"Governor Zhang, this is the new city colony of Daming, not Zhongxiang County back then, you are the governor of the country, it is true that you are the governor of the army and the people, but under the chief inspector of public security, this patrol is accepted in each city, and the chief inspector has the right to form a patrol team according to the public security situation,"

The two stared at each other, both of them looking like they wouldn't give in to each other.

Although he is the governor, Zhang Ying also knows that he, the governor, can mobilize the army, but he has no right to mobilize the security patrols of the markets, not even the chief inspector, but he can form a patrol team.

"Good, good!"

Zhang Ying sneered,

"Whatever you want to do, but the economy of the colony has been sluggish, so the funding of this inspection department will not increase."

"Funds, the lower officials will naturally find a way!"

After dropping these words, Xu Er left the governor's mansion without looking back, and as soon as he went out, he heard the cracking of teacups behind him, and Zhang Ying's angry roar.

"Inspector General, did the Governor agree??"

Leading the inspector's horse, Durrey glanced at the governor's palace.

"Whether he agrees or not, we have to do this matter!"

With a sneer, Xu Eryuan said to Du Lei.

"You go and put up notices according to the plan, every market must be posted, and from now on, we will set up a patrol ......"

After a pause, Xu Eryuan said again.

"Establish a mounted police force, and every man over the age of 18 and under the age of 58 can sign up."

"The Mounties?"

Xu Yunxian looked at the elder of his clan in front of him in surprise, and asked puzzledly.

"What is the Mounties?"

"It's a guard on horseback."

Xu Eryuan replied.

"Guards?"

Xu Yunxian's eyes were suspicious.

"The vigilance, as the name suggests, is a cavalry team that guards against the attacks of the natives, and they do not trap themselves in the markets of the colonies, but take the initiative to set up strongholds outside the colonies and take the initiative to guard against the attacks of the natives."

Staring at Xu Eryuan, Xu Yunxian was silent for a moment, and then asked.

"Really?"

Faced with Xu Yunxian's question, Xu Eryuan was silent and did not answer immediately, but said seriously.

"Since you discovered this colony, we have immigrated here, and as outsiders, we have suffered from the hostility of the natives from the beginning, they have responded to our kindness with brutality, and our friendship with killing, and now, it is time to fight back against them!"

In the face of Uncle Clan's suggestion, Xu Yunxian didn't speak, he just sat there silently, and then quietly picked up the teacup, and after a long time, he asked.

"So, what do you need me to do?"

"Give me financial support, after all, the Governor's Palace will not support the Mounted Police."

Xu Eryuan explained the conflicts between himself and the governor one by one, and finally said.

"So, the Mounted Police need the support of you and the colonial gentry and merchants, and without your funding, it will be difficult to build a mounted police force of a certain size."

"What will the Mounties do? Don't prevaricate me. ”

Xu Yunxian stared at Xu Eryuan and asked.

"Yunxian, in the past, when we were in the Northeast, did you know how we dealt with our daughter?"

Xu Eryuan, who had served in the Northeast, asked rhetorically, but Xu Yunxian did not answer, but just motioned for him to continue.

"At that time, in the face of the attack of the birth girl, our method is very simple, that is, to use the way of others to treat their bodies, a tribe attacks us, then we will definitely attack them, they kill our old people, women and children, then we will also use the same means, even more than that, they kill one of us, we will kill a hundred of them, we will not sit at home and wait for their attack, we will send cavalry to take the initiative, and in the end there are only two kinds of people left!"

"Two kinds of people?"

"Yes, there are two kinds of people, one is willing to obey the education according to our wishes, and the other is the dead, of course, the dead can no longer pose a threat to us!"

"Oh."

Surprisingly, Xu Yunxian did not object, he even responded softly, and then said.

"I'm going to give you $1,000 a month! The Chamber of Commerce will also subsidize you with no less than 2,000 yuan every month, is it enough? ”

The unexpected answer made Xu Er not come back to his senses for a long time, looking at him in surprise, Xu Yunxian said with a smile.

"Actually, I've been waiting for this day."

"Huh?"

Xu Er looked at him puzzled, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"From the first day, we knew that peace with the natives, whether it was so-called appeasement, could never last long, because they were barbarians who drank blood, and these people were afraid of power and did not have virtue, and blindly showed goodwill, in their eyes, it was a sign of weakness, so sometimes, maybe we were not willing, but we had to use some means to solve them, to solve the problem completely."

"Ahh

His eyes widened in surprise, and Xu Eryuan looked at Xu Yunxian in confusion and asked rhetorically.

"Then in the first place, why, why did it ......"

Now he is really confused, originally he imagined various possibilities, and imagined to persuade Xu Yunxian to support him in various ways, but the other party's unexpected attitude completely subverted his opinion, it seems that from the beginning, Xu Yunxian was in favor of soothing the natives.

Now, why is his attitude so straightforward?
