The men are roaring, the women are crying, and the horses are wailing......

This is the scene on September 6, 1650, near what would become the city of Cauera do Sul in Brazil. A banner of São Paulo, Brazil, from the Gérard Mountains, raided the area and destroyed the tribe of Guarani, who had settled there and had already entered the agrarian society with the help of Spanish missionaries.

More than a thousand able-bodied Guarani men were killed, and hundreds more fled with the sheikh. The Indians had some horses, so they saw that they could not resist the fierce attack of the St. Paul's bannermen, so they got on their horses and fled without saying a word. They fled as fast as they could, and in two of them disappeared into the grass that grew taller than a man on the hills. The Portuguese flag captain in charge of the pursuit, Concicao, changed three horses in a row, but he did not catch up with the Indians, which made him angry.

However, Captain Conceicao's wrath was destined to be borne by the captured Guaraní, and some emaciated-looking adult males were killed on the spot by the Flag Guard soldiers (mostly Guarani soldiers who had submitted to the Portuguese), as did the older women, who the Brazilians believed were only wasting food. The rest of the young men and women are brought back to the São Paulo area for public auction, which is one of their main sources of income.

In addition, there were a considerable number of Indian children in the conquered Guarani tribes, and only some of these children were generally auctioned off, and the other part was divided according to the rules. Many white or mixed-race Brazilians like to have some of these Indian children around them, who usually work as servants in their own homes and grow up to accompany them in battle, which Brazilians have always done, even if they don't have to. You can also give it away when you go back. Young Indian children are also a great gift in São Paulo.

The whites inside the camp sat on chairs. took out the wine and drank it happily, bragging as he drank; The Mameluco (mixed-race whites) supported the lowest Guarani soldiers to fetch water and cook; In addition, several wounded horses were also pulled to the ground and slaughtered, and some Guarani soldiers actually drank the blood gushing out of their horses' necks, and the whole camp was filled with a scene of demons dancing wildly.

A messenger stumbled over in the midst of the mess, and as he approached the room where Flag Captain Consicao was, he was even knocked by a corpse on the ground and nearly fell, causing some of the soldiers who were sitting there to laugh. The young messenger blushed. Kicked aside the body of the elderly Spanish missionary who had tripped over him, then approached Conceicao's room and entered it with permission.

"The people of the east coast have invited us to continue sweeping the Indians in the vicinity west?" The captain took the letter from the messenger, looked at it, threw it aside, and then asked for a long time, "They have a lot to ask." How did you feel about staying with them for a month this time? ”

"Even without our help, they would be able to clean up the Guarani in their territory on their own, there's no doubt about that. In a place like the New World, I have never seen an army so diligently trained and disciplined as the soldiers of the East Coast Army, whose fighting ability has been proven in every war. Our men are hardly comparable to these East Coast soldiers. Even the militia who have fought the Dutch in the north for many years may not be as good as others. It's enough that those people are brave and ruthless. But it lacked the strict discipline and extraordinary courage required to go to the frontal battlefield. Without hesitation, the Messenger answered Conceicao's question, apparently having thought about a similar question himself, and had already come to his own conclusions.

"You think so highly of them?" Conceicao was a little surprised, and then changed the subject: "The people of the east have already dealt with those Guarani people in the east?" ”

"It was resolved on the day of August 29, and the battle lasted only a few hours." Shin recalled with a complicated look on his face, and only heard him say: "The number of Guarani killed and wounded is more than nine hundred, and more than a thousand more were taken prisoner - mostly women and children. The women and children could not remain in the East Coast under East Coast law, so they intended to send all of them to the overseas colonies while the children were sold. They are truly ruthless towards the aborigines, and do not allow any of these people's blood to remain in their land. ”

"After they eliminated the Guaraní people in the place known as 'Yiling,' they began to purge the surrounding area of the remaining aborigines, and the sporadic fighting continues to this day. However, by the time I set out for this place, the people of the east coast had already sent a group of settlers and a large number of supplies from the rear, and it seemed that they wanted to take the place of Yiling once and for all, and then consolidate and digest the fruits of victory. The Courier continued to speak to his captain, of what he had seen.

"It looks like people on the east coast want to accelerate their expansion into the interior." As soon as he heard this, Conceicao understood the intentions of his employers, but these places were indeed de jure the legal territory of the Republic of China, and they had the right to do whatever they wanted, and no one else could do anything. As to whether it was "legitimate" for the Kingdom of Spain to assign to the East Coasters, a land that had been lawfully inhabited by Indians for thousands of years, was not within the scope of Mr. Conceicao's consideration, nor was it consistent with his consistent perception that barbarians were also worthy of rights?

Captain Conceicao was actually very much in favor of the model of killing and exiling the indigenous people on the East Coast, and hated the behavior of the big Brazilian people who were keen to capture the Indians as slaves, because it would obviously cast a strong shadow on the future of Brazil. It's not about race, it's not about faith, it's just about whether it's an aboriginal or not -- how can foreign robbers live in peace without killing the original owners of the land? In Consicao's view, even if the inhabitants of Brazil were not red Indians, but whites, they still had to carry out a policy of killing, because they were ultimately the indigenous people, the natural and legitimate owners of the land.

In fact, Captain Conceicao's fears were confirmed hundreds of years later, when purebred Indians in various South American countries crowded out foreign whites, leading to ethnic conflicts, social divisions, and national turmoil; And even in countries where purebred Indians are few, mestizo whites have begun to crowd out purebred whites because they believe that they have some Indian blood in their veins (usually descendants of white men and Indian women) and are more qualified to inherit the country than foreign pure-blood whites, so the country is always in turmoil. Coupled with the secret hand of the United States and the bloodsucking of the economy, the people of Latin America are becoming increasingly impoverished, and the ethnic conflicts in these countries are further exacerbated in a vicious circle, and the future of the country is ruined.

It's just that he Conceicao has been fighting for many years, and he is just a small captain of the São Paulo flag, and his hands are full of more than a thousand people, and he is soft-spoken, so what's the point of saying this? Therefore, it is better to be out of sight and out of mind, what to do with the leisure of future generations, or to make money and enjoy life. Catch the Indians and sell them to the plantations, just catch them! Hire a large number of Mameluko soldiers and even Guarani soldiers, just use it, and you can save yourself money! Don't think about anything, make money, maybe in the future some big man will wake up and start a comprehensive cleansing of the Indians? Captain Conceicao secretly paralyzed himself.

"Go back and bring a letter to the commander of the people on the east bank, saying that our banner team has wiped out the great tribes of Guarani entrenched in the third region, and asking them to send a supply along the Yakui River at once. The Banner will continue to sweep away the remnants of the Guarani barbarians in Area 3, and it is expected that the fighting will be completely over by 20 September in order to prepare the area for the pioneers. After thinking for a moment, Captain Conceicao sat back in his chair, then pulled out a stack of letter papers, and began to write as he muttered in a low voice: "The dawn of civilization is about to shine on the savage land, whether they are the Lord's people or not, after all, they are gentlemen from the civilized world, and they are more qualified than the Guarani people to occupy this land under the sun......"

……

At the end of September 1650, on a large area of land from Laojunmiao Township to the west and north, the São Paulo slave catchers of Brazil, numbering as many as seven and numbering more than 10,000, fought for several months, expelled and exterminated tens of thousands of Guarani people, and cleared out large villages, farmlands, forest farms, lakes and pastures - of course, these Guarani tribes or the little value of the village have been divided up by the São Paulo people, leaving the people on the east coast with only some simple thatched huts (which the Brazilians disparage call "rabbit holes"). and some so-called "cultivated land" overgrown with weeds.

However, the people of the East Coast did not expect any good things from the greedy São Paulo people to leave them with nothing good, and they understood that they could only build with their own hands. To this end, the Executive Committee instructed the East Coast Building Materials Company, a large domestic trust enterprise in the East Coast, to send personnel to Yiling, which had just been recovered by the East Coast people, to prepare for the construction of brick and tile wheel kilns, lime kilns and cement kilns. Today, the company has a branch factory in every county of the country (and kilns in some important independent settlements), and the vast amount of construction materials produced is strongly supported by the construction of the East Coast.

Once the building materials are available, the Ministry of Immigration will recruit pioneers throughout the country, and the Taoist Church will mobilize believers to move to the area in order to digest the anointed land that has just been taken from the Indians.

As for the São Paulo Flag Team, the East Coasters have renewed a new contract with them, and they will continue west with their team to clear the Guarani who live there for the East Coasters. (To be continued......)
