The battle continues.

The fastest Charuya finally rushed to the barbed wire, but they soon found themselves embarrassed to find that they could do nothing with the thin layer of barbed wire in front of them. Some people climbed up to find that their hands and feet had been cut by those sharp barbs, and unfortunately, their clothes were also hooked, and their bodies were blocked in the barbed wire and could not move.

Meng Hu stood in the queue and waited to come forward to shoot. The young blonde boy beside him had stepped forward with his spear in hand to stab the hapless Charruas who were trying to climb over the barbed wire fence but were caught in the air. He shouted meaningless syllables in his mouth, and stabbed a charruya man with almost all his strength, until a veteran musketeer next to him couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a slap.

"A fledgling." Meng Hu pursed his lips and smiled, he admired himself a little at this time, he could still laugh when the battle was in the heat of battle. "I'm a weirdo," he thought to himself, and then stepped forward to take the place of the line of musketeers who had finished firing, and fired a shot through the gap in the barbed wire, without looking, and then retreated. The dense crowd of the Charuya in front of the barbed wire makes any rookie a sharpshooter at this point, and as long as your musket fires well, you will probably be able to kill a Charuya.

It's a bloody fact, but it's so cruel to the Charua. The three or four hundred charging Charruas had already suffered a third of their casualties by this time, and the rest were still crowded in front of the seemingly impenetrable barbed wire, slaughtered in a devastating manner.

Menghu couldn't even bear to look at it, are these Charuya people stupid? Was you kicked in the head by a donkey? Isn't it good to be a obedient citizen of the East Coast Republic of China, why do you want to come to die? No one could answer him, and after he fired another round of shooting, the barbed wire suddenly lit up, and the last Charrua fell.

The musketeers fired several more volleys, killing most of the Charlua musketeers not far away. At this time, the remaining more than 100 Charuas finally completely collapsed and began to turn and flee. Their fighting spirit had been completely extinguished by the barbed wire and muskets that had crossed the crowd, and all that remained was endless fear. They have lost their fighting spirit, they have lost their organization, they only know how to escape, and they can't raise any thoughts of resistance at all, as if the decisive charge just now is completely non-existent.

The cavalry-turned-musketeers withdrew from the queue at Xu Yu's orders, and then went straight to the horses bolted to the stakes behind them, and then it was time for them to put on a good show.

By this time the battle was effectively over, and with the exception of the cavalry battalions that had gone out to pursue the enemy, the musketeers and spearmen were temporarily disbanded on the orders of the officers, and some of the new immigrants went out of the barbed wire fence under the command of the Crossing Crowd and began to clean up the battlefield and clean up the corpses.

Meng Hu sighed silently, and muttered involuntarily: "What is not good?" I have to be a bandit. It's all right, it's all dead. Isn't it good to be our obedient people, what a sin! Self-inflicted! ”

The blonde young man next to him clenched the spear shaft in his hand, pursed his lips and looked at the ground without saying a word, and his body trembled slightly if he looked closely.

Meng Hu sighed again, he knew how many times he had sighed today. I saw him pat the nervous young man on the back, handed a pack of tobacco leaves from his pocket, and said, "It will feel good to chew two bites when you are nervous." First time on the battlefield? ”

The young man subconsciously turned around and stood upright: "Report sir, yes." ”

"Good Chinese, young man." Meng Hu stuffed a few tobacco leaves into his mouth and chewed them, and then said, "Don't be so formal, I'm not an active soldier." What is your name? ”

"My name is Marcus. Marcus Salmenen. The young man said in an upright position, the freckles on his nose flushed a little from nervousness.

"Finns?" Menghu asked nonchalantly, "Finland is a nice place." ”

"Yes, I'm from Opo, and it's a beautiful city." When Marcus heard someone talking about his hometown, his eyebrows fluttered, and his tension disappeared a lot.

"Perhaps, I haven't been there anyway, and I heard that there is a famine there?" Meng Hu chewed on tobacco leaves, turned to his assistant and shouted, "Tommy, come over to me." ”

Tommy, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, saw him rush to Meng Hu with a brisk walk and ask loudly, "Teacher, what's the matter?" There were still traces of gunsmoke on his face, which looked a little funny and ridiculous.

"Ah, it's not a big deal." "Your fellow countryman, Marcus Salminen from Opo. I think you guys have a lot to talk about. ”

"I don't want to talk to a little kid." Tommy muttered reluctantly, then looked at the tall Marcus and said, "Obos, my name is Tommy Pesonen. You can find me in the future if you have any trouble, but don't always make trouble for me, I'm busy. ”

Marcus looked at Tommy in amazement, wondering what he had done wrong, and the fellow didn't seem very enthusiastic about him.

"Well, it's not your fault. Tommy is such a person. Meng Hu said embarrassedly, "You go and rest, oh, it's unfortunate, your superiors seem to be calling you." ”

Marcus glanced back, and sure enough, several of the newcomers' villager captains were beckoning the newcomers to clean up the battlefield. Marcus clutched the tobacco bag tightly in his hand and smiled shyly at Menghu: "Sir, you are a good person, thank you for your care, I am very grateful." Then he turned and walked away.

After Marcus left, Meng Hu patted Tommy's neck with a "snap", and scolded with a smile: "You bastard boy, you treat your fellow countryman like this, as if he owes you a lot of money." ”

"That old world silly boy from Opo?" Tommy pursed his lips and said, "Who's a fellow countryman with him." He's from Obo and I'm from Helsinki. And I'm an East Coaster now! That stupid boy doesn't take a shower all year round, and his body stinks like a wild boar. He doesn't know how to solve equations, he can't calculate functions, he can't distinguish between plants and animals, he can't estimate soil fertility, he can't plan agricultural production, what else can he do but have a handful of stupid strength? They still live under the foolishness of the church all day long, and they do not understand the true meaning of science, and they do not know that only truth is our true and only belief in this world......"

Meng Hu looked at Tommy with some stammering, and then said angrily and funny: "I'll just let you take care of the new young man, and you will make such a big reason for me." Boy, I suddenly realized that you are eloquent. Alright, stinky boy, now get back to sorting out the specimens of the great otter and ostrich. ”

"Know, teacher. That's what I love to do. Tommy happily agreed, then turned and walked towards his tent.

Meng Hu looked at Tommy's distant back in a daze, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.

"Isn't that weird?" I don't know when Lu Dao went, Shao Shude had already walked behind Meng Hu, and I saw that he also looked at Tommy's back in the distance, and said, "Tommy is a good guy." He is talented, hardworking, eager to learn, and more accepting of our values and lifestyle, which is exactly what we need. After coming into contact with the new world, it is natural that we will not look down on the small circle before, isn't this exactly what we want to see? We need more Tommy, old Meng. ”

Meng Hu nodded and said, "Yes, we need people who identify with our culture and values, at least they have a high sense of identity with us." When I first crossed the time, I couldn't have imagined that we would have such a big situation today, with a population of nearly 10,000 people, 10,000 acres of fertile land, several castles, more than 10 factories, dozens of ships, and even defeated the invincible Spaniards. Sometimes I'm a little scared that one day our rule will suddenly be overthrown by these people. Then they built countless Catholic churches here, used our legacy technology to carry out the industrial revolution, and then settled, assimilated the natives, expanded the territory, and everything was like the United States in the previous life. ”

"Huh." Shao Shude smiled and said, "Lao Meng, it's right to have a sense of crisis, but don't worry too much. It's the 17th century, not to mention these South American natives, even those European immigrants, they don't have any sense of nationality or nationality, and changing countries or bosses is like a common thing for them. Moreover, we now have a healthy population composition, with a balance of people of all races, ethnicities, and religions, and no one can have a great advantage. To put it mildly, if someone overthrows our rule, then they will definitely face civil wars: wars between the Old Worlders and the New Worlders, between the Old Worlders and the Old Worlders, and even between the New Worlders and the New Worlders. Everyone is not stupid, under our rule, everyone eats and drinks well, lives happily, and if they overthrow us, they will fight to the death, and everyone will settle this account. So, we can still sit back and relax in the short term. Then, we can educate them, change them, and assimilate them through a long period of education and all kinds of subtle influences. Although this path is difficult, it is not without a chance of success. ”

"That's right." Meng Hu said, "Then it depends on everyone's efforts." Of course, there is still a long way to go, and this process will not be smooth sailing and warm. For example, the Charuya people in front of us, after all, we have encroached on their living space. ”

"There's no way around it." Shao Shude waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go to work, and we'll talk next time." Ah, yes! Seeing what you're writing just now, I warn you, don't hack me on that National Geographic impurity, or I'll be done with you. ”
