Chapter 72, Murder with a Knife

In April 1636, Zheng Sen successfully passed the hospital examination, but he did not come back with another case as Zheng Zhilong expected, because Zheng Sen's work on words was really not enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs for his article, although the great master thinks that he has a deep intention and penetrates into it, there is nothing bright in the text, so if it is used as the head of the court examination, I am afraid that it will not be able to convince the public. However, he still placed his ranking in the top 10, ensuring his status as a student.

However, it was during this period of time that something happened in Taiwan. First of all, there was a conflict between the Dutch and the local natives, and a missionary was careless and met Izukusa, that is, a headhunter, and his head was taken as a souvenir. For this reason, the Dutch launched an attack on the Shaw Ridge Society, one of the largest indigenous organizations in the area, and successfully defeated the Shaw Ridge Society.

Immediately afterwards, the Zheng family's lumberyard on the southern slope of Alishan was attacked by the Shengfanbunong people, and about two dozen lumberjacks lost their heads. It is said that the Bunun people launched such an attack because they believed that the Zheng family's felling of the "sacred tree" offended the mountain god, and their felling of the green oka tree directly affected their lives.

After the attack, Zheng Zhifeng immediately ordered the army to strike at these students. However, the effect of the blow was not ideal. Although the Zheng family's army burned several nearby Bunun villages in one go, the number of Bunun people they actually killed was quite limited, on the contrary, because of the attacks of the Bunun people, as well as various diseases, they lost more than 200 people. This loss is not large, but the attacks of the Bunun people are always endless, which makes Zheng Zhifeng feel a little "caught in the vast sea of the people's war". So since May, Zheng Zhifeng has been constantly sending letters to Zheng Zhilong, asking for "tactical guidance".

Zheng Zhilong also dealt with those students back then, and knew that these guys were not easy to deal with. It's just that now he is also busy, last year he completely killed Liu Xiang just like in the original history, and compared to history, the second child of his family did not die in battle. Because of this military exploit, the above is studying whether to promote him to be a general soldier. Now Zheng Zhilong is working hard to run for this. So it is impossible for him to go to Taiwan to help the third child, as for the second child in their family, Zheng Zhilong feels that in such a situation, Zheng Zhihu probably has nothing to do, let him go and make things worse. So Zheng Sen, who had just obtained the status of a student, was sent to Taiwan again.

……

"Let our people play hide-and-seek with the Bunun in the jungle, no matter how you play, we are definitely the losing party. Third uncle, we can't do this now. After learning some basic information, Zheng Sen said to Zheng Zhifeng.

"So what do you say?" Zheng Zhifeng asked.

"Heightened security at logging sites, and some defenses were arranged at key points along the routes for the transportation of timber. Those Bunun people, it's okay to fight guerrillas in the forest, but if they attack or something, it's a mess. We want them to expose their shortcomings. Zheng Sen said.

When he said this, Zheng Sen couldn't help but think about how the Japanese devils dealt with the elusive guerrillas in China back then. Back then, Okamura Ningji, well, it was the old devil who looked very much like Kuroto Taijun, what did he do in the anti-Japanese base area? Zheng Sen doesn't have Baidu to check now, he only vaguely remembers that it seems to be a "cage policy" with "railways as pillars, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks".

Of course, there is a mistake in Zheng Sen's memory here, and the proposer of the "cage policy" of "using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks" was not Okamura Ninji, but his predecessor, Tada. And in the forests of Taiwan, at least at this time, there are no railways or highways or anything, only paths along streams. However, it is a good idea to build a blockhouse in a key location and build a turret.

In fact, if the artillery towers built by the Japanese devils in China were put into the European combat environment, even if they fought with the guerrillas, it would be the same as looking for death, for example, the Germans fought very vigorously with Tito's guerrillas in the Balkans, but the Germans did not make a tall artillery tower in the style of devils. Because Tito's guerrillas also had the same things that could send the turret to the sky. (Marshal Tito's guerrillas not only had mortars, infantry guns (that is, the things that Li Yunlong used when he attacked the county town), anti-tank guns, and even tanks!) However, at that time, China was a backward agricultural country, and the equipment level of China's regular army was not as good as that of Tito's guerrillas, and as for the Tubalu guerrillas, they didn't even have a few machine guns, and there was really nothing they could do with the artillery towers.

"In terms of lack of offensive capabilities, those natives are a bit similar to Tubalu." Zheng Sen couldn't help but put himself in the position of a Japanese devil.

"Third uncle, let's build a watchtower at intervals along the road, and station a dozen or so soldiers, plus one or two hunting dogs. If the hounds aren't enough, so can the geese! That would make it very difficult for those Bunun people to attack us when we were unsuspected. If they come hard, they won't be a problem at all. Zheng Sen said.

Dirt Eight Road can persist in the face of a huge gap between equipment and Japanese devils, and continue to grow, first of all, because Dirt Eight Road has an organization that is almost against the sky. Zheng Sen didn't believe that the Bunun people could have such a high degree of organization. If they had such an organization, even if they only had wooden sticks in their hands, they would have unified Taiwan a long time ago, and they should even become colonizers.

In addition, behind Tubalu, with the support of hundreds of millions of people, the population of the Bunun people is actually quite limited, and the lifestyle of fishing and hunting cannot support a large number of people. So the Bunun people should not be able to deal with such tactics.

"It's a good idea, but it's a little bit passive." Zheng Zhifeng was still a little dissatisfied, "Isn't that just waiting for someone to come to the door?" It's really unpleasant! ”

"Haha, third uncle, what you said seems to be said by the second uncle." Zheng Sen couldn't help but laugh, "Taking the initiative to attack this kind of thing, it's better for us to find someone to do it first." Third uncle, have you ever heard of razing against razing? ”

"Raze to raze?" Zheng Zhifeng still hasn't understood.

"Third Uncle still remembers the crow I told you about. Side effects of tablets, right? Zheng Sen said.

"You mean addicted?" Zheng Zhifeng seemed to think of something.

"Let's sell crows to other raw ones first. pieces, get them addicted, and then let them trade the heads of the Bunun for crows. Slice. Zheng Sen said with a smile.

"If they kill the natives of a different tribe at will, they will exchange their heads for crows. What about the tablets? Zheng Zhifeng's head hadn't turned around for a while.

"Who we care it kills." Zheng Sen said, "Even if it's a Dutchman, as long as it's not ours, we will also see the head for the crow. Slice! Wouldn't it be a good thing for us if they killed each other indiscriminately? Anyway, it's all a little raw, no matter who dies, it's a good thing! Only the dead are alive.,It's a good life.。 ”

"That's a good point.' Only the dead are alive, and they are good. Well said, just do it. But they really will fight for the crows. Is that what the piece does? "Zheng Zhifeng is obviously against the crow. The effect of the film is not very well understood.

"Yes, definitely." Zheng Sen sneered, "Crow. Piece this thing, hehe......"

……

Although there are often conflicts, Taiwan's Han immigrants and local natives sometimes have some trade. Some of the sheng fan will also exchange the animal skins they hunt for Han cloth, wine, and other small things. In the vicinity of the North Port, there is such a market for barter.

Dalao arrived at the market with a few deerskins, intending to exchange them for some liquor and medicine from the Han Chinese, which were often injured by hunters and were essential when dealing with these situations. Other than that, the tobacco leaves are even better.

Dalao recognized a Han man named Wu Jing, and the spirits and drugs he sold him were very real and not adulterated, so Dalao went directly to Wu Jing's small shop with the skin on his back.

"Wu, I have deerskin, very good, all very good, change the wine and change the medicine." Dalao said in Chinese, which he was not very familiar with.

"Okay, okay. Dalao, I have something new here, can you take a look? Wu Jing slowly took out a bunch of medicines.

"What is this?" At a glance, Darao saw a black-brown paste that he had never seen before.

"It's called Blessing. Longevity. Cream is a miracle medicine that cures all diseases. Whether it's diarrhea, headache, brain fever, or discomfort, as long as you use this, you will be fine immediately. Wu Jing replied.

"This is so good? How to use it? Darao asked.

"Same as tobacco, smoked." Wu Jing said, "But there is a special set of tools for sucking it, and I will show it to you." He said as he pulled out a simple version of a pair of cigarette guns and cigarette lamps.

"You can try." Wu Jing said.

……

Honestly, the first time to suck the blessing. Longevity. The ointment did not make a good impression on Darao, and he even felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit. However, thinking about the first time he smoked leaves, he didn't feel very good, but then he liked it, plus this thing is a drug, and the medicine makes people uncomfortable a lot, and many drugs can make people die bitterly. Dalao felt that Wu Jing had always been a reliable person, and he had never deceived himself with lies, and he said that if this thing worked, then it must work. So he handed over a few skins to Wu Jing, exchanged them for some spirits, and a few pieces of which, according to Wu Jing, could replace all other medicines. Longevity. The miracle medicine of the anointing went back.
