"Why do you support Zhang Ying?"

Seo Yoon-hyun's smile was sarcastic, as if he was sarcastic about others, but also at his own level.

I was forced to make this choice in the first place. That's no way out. Sometimes, even if he doesn't want to do it, there is no other choice.

Sometimes, one has to learn to be cruel, to be cruel to one's enemies and to oneself, especially here, in this strange land, where any kindness will prevent people from gaining a foothold.

Especially as latecomers, their blind kindness will only make the natives feel that they are weak and deceitful.

"Actually, at the beginning, even if I didn't support him, the first generation of immigrants would be inclined to this view, why did you never show mercy when you were in the Northeast?"

His rhetorical question made Xu Eryuan silent for a moment, and then said.

"Because of the brutality of the Manchus."

"But the natives haven't killed us, what do you think is the brutality of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when Fang Shoufu traveled to the northeast with an iron fist, there were still people in the court who made irresponsible remarks, and the people still couldn't accept his iron fist, here, how could the people accept similar methods?"

Seo Yun-hyun put the teacup in his hand on the table and continued.

"Not only him, but also the previous governor, and even the immigrants, all felt that those people could be indoctrinated, that they were the same color as me, that they could assimilate, that they could be indoctrinated. Don't forget, the Mongols and the Manchus, they all have the same skin color as me, how can the Han people who killed me ever be soft because of this? The so-called skin color is the same, it should be supported, but it is just self-deception, if the skin color is the same, you can get along well, how can there be five nonsense? How could there be Turkic invaders, and how could there be Tibetan slaves! Is there a slavery of the Mongol Yuan and the Manchu Qing? ”

mocking the naivety of those people, Xu Yunxian's voice finally became cold.

"Is the ancestor still right...... Yidi, the beast is also, afraid of power but not virtuous. If we don't kill the other party first, kill them who don't obey us, and don't break their bones, how can they willingly be educated by me, so they should use an iron fist, and they must not be soft. In fact, for these people, they are still in the barbaric stage, they will not know gratitude at all, they will only teach you to see weakness and bully. ”

"Then why, you ...... in the first place"

Without waiting for Xu Eryuan to finish asking, Xu Yunxian smiled slightly,

"Because at the beginning, no one will approve of the iron fist, not even the people, they will think that the attack of the natives is resistance, because we are too tyrannical, and in the end they will blame us, blame us for not being gentle, why do the people hate the natives so much, isn't it because of our tenderness? Isn't it because of Huairou that they still attack settlements and kill people? That's why they want revenge, they want to put an end to all this, and only then will they agree with that sentence - Yidi, beasts, fear of power but not virtue. ”

The voice became cold, and then Seo Yoon-hyun sighed.

"Only when there is a pain in the skin will they understand that the words of the sages are the truth, well, now that the lesson is deep enough, it's time to end all this."

In the end, Xu Yunxian said deliberately.

"Sixth uncle, I will support this mounted police team 100%, if you want to ask me, what is the bottom line, I will say that there should only be two kinds of natives in this world, one is subservient to us, and the other is dead, as far as I am concerned, I am more inclined to the latter."

"The latter?"

"Yes, it's the latter. We treat murderers. Send killers to kill them. This is the only one. One, the way we can get a foothold on this land. Other than that, there is no other option. ”

Then he added.

"Put aside all hypocrisy, the so-called kindness. But it's just self-deception. But anyone with a little brain knows that you went to someone else's house, robbed someone else's land, and took possession of someone else's house. They are still there to thank you. Are they really fools, fools? Could it be that someone else has stolen your home, robbed your house, robbed your land, and you are still there to thank Dade. Grateful to them? ”

Sometimes he really can't accept the pedantry of those people. Those people simply think about it so much, they think that as long as they are good to those people, those people will happily give up their houses, their own land, their own women to strangers from tens of thousands of miles away.

They didn't even think about coming to this place as invaders, to tame the other party with the knife in their hands, that is, to let the knife in their hands let the natives hand over the land, hand over the house, and hand over everything.

That's how we can stand on this side of the land, and only in this way can we survive here.

But they don't know what they're supposed to do until they suffer.

It's time to change all that. The time is ripe.

Under the slaughter of the natives, people will give up the kindness they once had, and they will give up all hypocrisy. We will learn to be cruel under the butcher's knife of our enemies.

Many times people are like this, only by suffering a loss can they grow wiser.

After a while, Xu Eryuan understood, and then said thoughtfully.

"I see!"

However, in just half a month, the Xincheng Mounted Police Team was established, most of the people who joined the Mounted Police Team are second-generation immigrants who have a painful pain for the natives, their parents and families, there are always people who die in the hands of the natives, and the scale of the first batch of mounted police is not large, but only 126 people, and this is also the number of troops that the largest natives can provide within hundreds of miles of the nearby Fangyuan, unless all the natives form an alliance, otherwise, they will form an overwhelming advantage over the natives tribe - in numbers, of course, and in weapons.

Unlike the officers of the Self-Defense Army, who are all appointed by the Governor's Palace, the Mounted Police Squadron Captain is elected by everyone, because there are always some immigrants who have had experience in fighting against the natives, and there are even a few veterans who have participated in the army, of course, there are also a few people who have taken the initiative to attack the natives in retaliation for their harm to themselves, in short, at this time, everyone feels that if everyone does not like and distrust a veteran, it will only cause dissatisfaction to let a veteran be the leader.

"Each of you must think about it, all the squad leaders, every order given in the future may be related to your life, and it is directly related to your life and death, so you must choose a suitable person."

In the advice of the inspector general, Li Yi, who was only 19 years old, was selected as the squadron leader, not because he could speak the native language, but because five days ago, he returned from the territory of the native people, brought back the scalps of six native people, and he nailed the scalps of those native people to the wall of the market, and then told everyone.

"From now on, they kill, we kill, they scalp us, we also skin theirs!"

There is no doubt that the young people who joined the Mounted Police have the same idea as him - for revenge, for revenge!

In addition to him, Mifu was also far from being the squadron leader, he was a shrewd and calm big man, although he seemed to be five big and three thick, but he was also polite in front of women, and always had a simple smile on his face. Of course, he was chosen as the captain, not because he was a kind man, but because he was the best shooter in the whole city, he had a real "magic gun", he could hit a squirrel in the eye twenty feet away, and he was also familiar with life in the wild, he could make fires in the rain, he could catch wild beasts, he could find water, he was one of the few fur hunters in the new city - he had gone deep into the forest hundreds of miles away to find prey, hunt for fur. Everyone respects people who have the ability, and his skills are also needed by everyone, so he was made a squadron leader.

In this mounted police team, everyone did not despise that person because of their status. After all, their father and brother are immigrants, and they all farm and run families here, so naturally they will not have that kind of snobbery.

From the very beginning, this cavalry team recruited police officers from the children of immigrants, they said that they were cavalry, but each of them needed to bring their own horses, weapons, equipment, uniforms, and even their salaries were very low, only 3 to 5 taels per month, which was a very low wage, but in addition to the Self-Defense Forces, the first standing armed force composed of the people themselves, they had different identities, that is, small farmers, hunters, fishermen, and even the children of exiles.

But there is no doubt that they are full of hatred for the natives. They all long to kill the natives and avenge their families and friends.

Of course, in addition to hatred as a support, it is inevitable that a small number of them will have some expectations - hoping to gain some wealth through killing, after all, there are many fur in the tribe of the natives, and there will always be people who have various ideas on the delicate issue of money.

Because of the different identities of the members of the Mounted Police, many of them are just ordinary people, so few of them have extra horses. They often only have one or two horses at home, and those horses are used for farming, and the family also needs to ride, so naturally there is no surplus, but the mounted police always need horses, but with a little money, they must not have enough horses. In this situation, under the call of Xu Yunxian, every merchant and farmer in the entire Xincheng colony donated money to fully equip the mounted police team, and horses were naturally the first to be solved. The response was swift, but in just a few days, they donated more than 200 horses and 150 six-shot guns and hundreds of rifled guns to the Mounties.

"Do you know why everyone is so positive?"

When sending the things donated by everyone to the camp, Xu Yunxian looked at Xu Eryuan and asked with a smile.

"Because, they were all stunned by the cruelty of the natives......"

After a pause, Xu Yunxian said again.

"Three days ago, there were natives who attacked one of our settlements, women were plundered, men were killed, scalped, even young children were killed, if it weren't for the children in the social studies, maybe more people would have died, everyone knows, now, either we kill them or they kill us!"

Deliberately lowered his voice, Xu Yunxian admonished.

"Don't rush to retaliate, train first, and then solve the problem!"

"I know that I must not take the initiative until I am sure!"

The Mounted Police practiced daily near the camp, and they mounted cavalry attacks directly in the fields, the galloping of horses stirring up dust, shouting at the top of their voices, brandishing their sabers freshly made by blacksmiths, and more often than not, aiming at targets with six-shot guns. Compete there to shoot targets. No one needs that one person to teach him how to shoot. Because most of the Xincheng people were born to play with guns, as second-generation immigrants, at a very young age, they would carry firearms to hunt, improve their family's food, and obtain precious furs, all of which had long since trained them to be good marksmen. Originally a good hunter too. These hunters only need a little training and will become the best soldiers.

On the other side, they are also anxiously waiting for the attack, in addition to the revolver, the weapons in their hands are all kinds, and even many are small-caliber rifled guns used for hunting, which are specially used to hunt fur, long and small caliber, suitable for hunting, but not suitable for fighting. So, soon, these weapons were replaced, and the new rifled guns replaced the hunting guns.

On this day, at the end of the exercise. In the evening, Xu Eryuan appeared in the camp, he called Li Yi and Mi Fu, and then gave the order.

"We're going to attack the Duvaish tribe today!"

The estuary of the river where the Duwamysh tribe once lived, when the Ming expanded from the island to the other side of the coast, retreated inland, and they raided the settlements several times.

"It wasn't Duvaish who attacked us last time."

When Mifu's voice fell, Li Yiyi said aside.

"They attacked us!"

"That's right, the purpose of this attack is to tell those natives that the days when they attacked and killed us at will are over, and from now on, all the natives, unless they are under our command and obey us, all other natives are our enemies!"

Before leaving, Xu Eryuan specially ordered someone to prepare enough food for a month, and this time the attack was not just a Duwamysh.

Late at night in the second day, just as planned, the mounted police arrived at a village of the Duwamysh tribe, facing the bonfire in the night, Xu Eryuan just sat on the horse, and then his eyes narrowed into thin slits, and then said to Li Yi.

"You lead the second squadron and attack from the left flank, Mifu your third squadron, from the right flank, drive them up the river, and I attack from the front!"

"Chief Inspector, what is our mission this time?"

Mifu asked suddenly.

"Just like them."

Pointing to the bonfire in the dark night, Xu Eryuan said in a deep voice.

"How they deal with us, we have to respond to them!"

Everyone didn't speak, everyone nodded silently, and then drew out their short guns, in the dark night, three mounted police teams approached the village of the natives from three directions, in the tent in the dark night, the snoring of the natives could be faintly heard, when the natives were still immersed in the dream, the sound of the guns sounded, a natives who woke up from their sleep, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they immediately fought back, and the next moment, he was knocked to the ground.

The sound of guns and roars echoed in the night sky, and the natives who were awakened were knocked to the ground by a bang before they even came to resist, and even those natives who had never known what they were afraid of in their daily lives were in a panic in the face of a sudden attack.

The attack at night was a bit chaotic, and although the mounted police continued to slash and kill the natives with short guns and sabers, it was inevitable that some natives escaped, and they fled in the direction of the river, and just as they tried to flee on a raft to the opposite bank, a group of mounted police swooped down from the flanks, and after a burst of chopping, the river was stained red with blood.

A few hours later, at dawn, the sound of the guns had stopped, and the mounted policemen who had been tore through for hours were also a little tired, and the village in front of them was gone, and the ground was littered with dead bodies, and they didn't even look at it, but some of the mounted policemen laughed lightly.

"Inspector General, Mifu has caught a dozen women there."

Li Yi's report made Xu Eryuan just respond softly, and then said.

"Who has the time to send them back?"

After such a rhetorical question, he continued.

"Are there any wounded who need to go back for treatment? If so, let them escort them to the nearest market, these are prisoners of war, and when we get back, we will discuss what to do with these women. ”

After dropping such a sentence, Xu Eryuan came to the river, where a few bundles of fur were piled up, he looked at the furs and said to himself.

"Why don't you want to do normal trade with us? Always constantly challenging our bottom line......"

As he said this, he looked at the corpses by the river again, and the natives who were not hanging on their bodies turned into corpses without even having time to resist.

What is causing all this?

It doesn't matter anymore!

These people are dead now. We will never express any attitude again, in the future everything here belongs to outsiders, it belongs to them, and they will become the masters of this land.

Sometimes, even though he doesn't want to do it, it's the only option. There has never been any such thing as mercy.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.

"Alright, let's move on."

After watching the wounded leave on a raft with the two dead mounted policemen and the captured supplies, Xu Eryuan kicked the big red horse the waist with his spurs, and immediately rode his horse towards the forest in the distance, and the mounted policemen followed him across this forest, and all of them knew that from today on, everything had changed......

Everything has changed.

From now on, if anyone wants to kill us, we will send our own military police to kill those people first.

When all the restless people have been killed, there will be peace here.
