Chapter 195: Iron-Blooded Zhu Yousong (2)

Looking at the herds of camels, Zhu Yousong knew that he couldn't stop it with a rifle, so he immediately put the machine gun in front, surrounded the city gate and began to block the city gate, so as not to break up the Ming army team any more, this thing is not a person, I don't know if I am afraid of death, my temperament is arrogant, and my skin is thick, once I rush into the team, I really don't know how many consequences it will cause. However, it was obvious that these camels were not afraid of death, and the people on the camels were afraid of death, and when they saw the machine gun bullets of the Ming army coming like fire whips, they immediately flew flesh and blood, and the group of camels immediately retreated quickly to the city.

Zhu Yousong didn't know why, he didn't know what these people were doing, so he put the hand-cranked machine gun on the small four-wheeled vehicle and rushed towards the city gate, there was no one in front of him, and the process of entering the city was very simple. After entering the city gate, Zhu Yousong felt sick to his stomach and couldn't stand it. The city was full of mutilated corpses, which was much more bloody than being killed with bullets, and the corpses with few heads and broken arms were not bad, but what was even more cruel was that the corpses were cut down in scattered places, and it was impossible to see that they were in the shape of a human being.

The city center in front was still fighting, and the sound of killing was shocking, Zhu Yousong rushed there with the team, only to see a camel team at the intersection was desperately rushing left and right, surrounded by people with sticks and kitchen knives desperately stopping them. After seeing Zhu Yousong's Ming army, most of the people came to this side without saying anything, and without any hesitation, the machine guns of the Ming army opened fire. No living creature could avoid death in front of the machine guns, and in a short time the place became empty. Next, Zhu Yousong ordered the soldiers to sweep from the center of the city in all directions, no matter what kind of people they encountered, as long as they had the intention of resisting, they would be killed directly, unless they saw the Ming army coming and knelt directly on the ground.

It wasn't until noon when it was time to eat that the whole wooden bones were completely calmed down, but there were no more people in the city. Zhu Yousong looked at the heads of the captives, there were about less than two thousand adult men, and the rest were women and children. He ordered them to collect all the corpses in the city, and then cremate them on the spot, and then let the soldiers search the whole city for all the gold and silver treasures they could find, and then let the soldiers withdraw from the bloody wooden bone bundle. This has been completely wasted, and the broken human organs have begun to emit a stench, which can cause disease if they stay for a long time. In order to reduce the pathogen as much as possible, Zhu Yousong asked those adults to put all the grease and dry firewood that they could collect into the city, and after the four gates were closed, they set fire to the city, and those people were all burned to death inside, and now all the remaining are more than 5,000 young women, and there are not many children, Zhu Yousong didn't want to keep them at all, rather than leaving these little cubs, it is better to give birth to them yourself, although the time is slow, and they are still mixed-race, but it is much better than raising others. In the ensuing hours, two Portuguese women were found among the women, apparently taken by them, and it was through them that they learned what had happened here the previous night.

Originally, there would not be so many people here, and those Ottoman soldiers had just arrived, they were the soldiers summoned by Prince Mahad to attack the Abyssinian Kingdom in the west, about 50,000 people, plus the thousands of people and horses of Prince Mahad himself, which was the main force of yesterday's attack on Zhu Yousong's fleet. But the firepower of the Ming fleet was too powerful, these soldiers were almost wiped out, and the rest withdrew into the city of Mukudushu under the leadership of the leader, about less than 10,000 people, these people are all soldiers after all, they plan to rob and slip away here, and the old white surname in the city aroused Biao, and they had a melee with them, plus these people who later returned to the city, and they were beaten into a pot of porridge in the whole city, and at the beginning the common people drove these people into the palace of King Mahad with their numerical superiority, Later, these soldiers were reorganized and killed again. With a good formation and formation, coupled with a certain fighting skills, the common people are naturally not opponents, the killed scattered and fled, lifting the siege of the palace, if at this time they want to escape is relatively easy, but these people see that the people are scattered, the form is not a threat, the old state is hazy, and they began to loot everywhere, the people saw that they lost their formation, and they were fierce again, and they were killed back to the palace, and they were surrounded again, this time they wanted to kill the whole team, it was basically impossible, Their numbers were almost half of them, but fortunately they found Prince Mahad's camel herd, and used the power of camels to kill them again, but they were unlucky, and they ran into the Ming army that rushed over, and they were beaten back.

Back and forth, the tens of thousands of people in the city were finally left with these thousands of people, plus Zhu Yousong's Ming army fighting, this wooden bone bundle completely lost its vitality, and all the population moved out. The city is uninhabitable, but there are still villages nearby, Zhu Yousong ordered the soldiers to rebuild a city in a village near the port, the name of this city is called Fucheng, which means Fuwang City, in order to find enough labor to build the city, Zhu Yousong began a sweep of the residents of the Ottoman Empire in this area, those who are willing to submit will come to work, and those who do not want to come will be killed directly.

After a period of construction, the approximate outline of Fucheng has been formed, Zhu Yousong summoned more than 30,000 young children from the territory of King Fu of Daming, his approach made King Fu Zhu Changxun very dissatisfied, but Zhu Youxiao was strongly supported, and also gave him hundreds of craftsmen, let him continue to develop here, guns and bullets all meet his requirements, so that King Fu Zhu Changxun does not understand what Zhu Youxiao means.

Zhu Yousong, who received Zhu Youxiao's strong support, also made a great deal of might, he reorganized a 10,000-strong unit, all equipped with new rifles, mortars, and infantry guns, and conducted strict training after the formation, and even found ten special forces soldiers equipped with him by Mao Wenlong from Zhu Youzhen's guards, and let them train more than 100 people in a special forces squadron.

With a certain strength, Zhu Yousong did not hesitate to expand outward, in addition to leaving 3,000 men and horses in Fucheng to continue construction, the other 7,000 people began to march to the middle and upper reaches of the Shabelle River, the residents of the Ottoman Empire along the way were completely cleaned up, and the indigenous residents expressed their attachment to Zhu Yousong, which is also why they saw Zhu Yousong's strength and showed great sincerity, Zhu Yousong unceremoniously accepted their attachment, these natives have been bullied by the Ottoman Empire for a long time, and many people have lost their blood in their bones, has a sense of fear for the powerful, which is also what Zhu Yousong is willing to see. After occupying both sides of the Shabelle River, Zhu Yousong took advantage of the situation to march southward, and continued to sweep on both sides of the Juba River, all the way to the upper reaches of the Juba River. In this way, for a period of time, Zhu Yousong completely controlled the main sections of these two river basins, and the main production areas of frankincense and myrrh all fell into Zhu Yousong's hands, plus several ports along the coast also fell into Zhu Yousong's hands, so that Zhu Yousong completely monopolized the trade of frankincense and myrrh. The frankincense and myrrh of the big ships were transported to the Ming mainland, or from here to the south, to Europe.

Zhu Yousong's expansion finally attracted the attention of the Ottoman Empire, and not long after Zhu Yousong took control of the Shabelle River and Juba River basins, and the army had not completely withdrawn to Fucheng, the Ottoman fleet sailed out of the Gulf of Aden and went straight to Fucheng. Fucheng is only beginning to take shape, the city wall has not yet been built, and Zhu Yousong only has 50 warships and 3,000 soldiers, and the soldiers on the warships are not satisfied, so they have to use 30 warships to fight the enemy, on the other hand, they quickly recall the soldiers who are still in the field, and counterattack if necessary.

There are about 500 Ottoman warships surrounding the port of Fucheng, but although the scale of this fleet is large, the ships are not large, and the tonnage difference is much compared with the warships of European countries, even compared with Zhu Yousong's warships, it is not small, their tactics are also very old-fashioned, or the traditional way of boarding the gang to seize the ship, but they are better than the number of people, there are 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers on these 500 warships, and many of them are troop carriers.

In fact, the commander of the fleet of the Ottoman Empire made a serious mistake, if they did not adopt the tactics of boarding the fleet to help seize the ship, but landed nearby, and seventy or eighty thousand soldiers attacked Fucheng directly, it was really possible to occupy Fucheng, after all, there were too few people here, and the city wall had not yet been built, this was their best opportunity, but it was a pity that they saw Zhu Yousong's warship a little red-eyed, trying to take it away, and lost an opportunity.

Thirty warships were defending around the port, and the warships of the Ottoman Empire were desperately trying to approach the fleet on the periphery, and this time Zhu Yousong ordered all to set up hand-cranked machine guns and shoot at all warships that entered within half a mile, and not at the deck, but only at the vicinity of the warship's waterline. In a short time, a large circle of Ottoman warships ran aground within half a mile, because these warships entered the water, and the next thing was to use mortars to bombard the fixed targets of these warships, until all the warships in this circle caught fire, and the soldiers jumped into the water to escape.
