After leaving the Great Ryukyu (Taiwan Island), the Southeast China Sea Expedition arrived at Luzon Island, the last stop of the overseas expedition, in the afternoon of two days ago. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the strong wind at sea that day, he found a sheltered harbor on the coast, and Zhang Qin ordered the fleet to sail into the bay to take shelter.

Fortunately, although the entrance to the bay is eight or nine miles wide, there is an island like the entrance to Chicken Coop Bay in the Great Ryukyus in the center, which effectively blocks the impact of the waves of the open sea on the vast area inside the bay, and is a natural haven.

It's just that after landing in the bay, to the puzzlement of the crew of the fleet, there was not a single native on the beach, which was very different from the previous landing on the shore and seeing many native arrivals.

On the second day, there were still no natives coming, and on the third day, Yu Hong discussed with Zhang Qinyi, and Jue first sent some people deep into the dense jungle to find out the situation before entering the inland to investigate.

Yu Hong sent his right-hand men, Zhang Heng and 19 men into the jungle fully armed to search for traces of local natives.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the past few months of overseas exploration, I have been to an expedition team that I can't remember how many islands, except for a big island in Xiaoliuqiu, because of the conflict between the local chieftain and the daughter of Uncle Sun Kang***, this is the first time that the natives took the initiative to attack them.

Six people died, which made Yu Hong very angry, and the consequence of his anger was that he would take people to raze the native village tomorrow. If you don't cut off the heads of their whole village and yard them into Jingguan, they will shock the local natives, and Yu Hong will be unable to eliminate the evil anger in his heart.

Seeing Zhang Heng's miserable appearance, and after learning about the cause and effect, Yu Hong's mind always rang with what His Royal Highness said: Barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue.

If you want to make it difficult for the barbarians to murder and rebel, you must use iron-blooded means to engrave the fear of Datang in their hearts into their bones. If you have two hearts in your life, you will involuntarily think of the Tang Army's bloody methods of dealing with enemies and traitors and tremble, and restrain the rebellious heart that exists in their hearts with the price that the barbarians can hardly bear to mutiny.

This is the strategy that Li Yu summed up after two lifetimes, looking at the history of Huaxia and Siyi. He often instills in his subordinates the cruel methods necessary to control the country.

Siyi repeatedly rebelled against the Tang Dynasty because the price of betrayal was too small, and the price borne by followers was too small.

Therefore, when they saw that the Tang Dynasty was a little weak, they rebelled, looted and killed the Chinese people; When they saw that the Tang Dynasty was strong, they only needed to symbolically submit a document of title to obtain a rich reward and seal the officials, which easily overshadowed the fact that they rebelled and killed the people of China.

The Siyi who participated in the rebellion, whether it was a tribal leader or an ordinary soldier, not only did they lose nothing in the rebellion, but they robbed a lot of money slaves, as well as the Chinese women who fascinated them, venting their killing and looting****** and the final result was only to the object of their robbery, the emperor of Huaxia handed over a worthless document of courtierhood, and obtained a Chinese official position that was not worthy of the original. Not only is there no punishment, but there are also more additional rewards.

There are still such good things in the world, can Siyi Yan not rebel? (Refer to the Khitan, Xiren, Turkic, Tiele nine surnames and Nanzhao who repeatedly rebelled in the Tang Dynasty, such as the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty; There are also the Northern Song Dynasty's party items and Annan. ）

But what if the price of betrayal could not be borne by even one of the ordinary soldiers involved?

Excuse me, who else dares to participate in the rebellion of their leader?

At this time, Zhang Qin was discussing with Wang Haichong in the governor's warehouse about the next course, and he had basically never heard of anyone going to the southern part of Luzon.

Yu Hong's anger was hard to dissipate, and he pushed open the warehouse door, Zhang Qin and Wang Haichong saw Yu Hong's face full of anger, and they didn't know everything.

Zhang Qin asked suspiciously: "Brother Yu, why are you angry?" ”

Wang Haichong is also strange, in the past few months at sea, several leaders of the expedition team have become familiar with each other and become friends, and they usually call each other brothers. The tempers of both sides are thorough, like Yu Hong, it is usually rare to see him angry because of things, he has a peaceful personality and is kind to others, and he speaks at the level of a literati.

Today, Yu Hong's whole temperament has changed greatly, and his fierce spirit is easy to mix, which is intimidating.

"Something happened to the expedition sent out this morning." Yu Hong said angrily.

"What?" Zhang Qin and Wang Haichong were taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"I was attacked by the natives, and six people died, and I didn't even bring back the corpses......"

Yu Hong told Zhang Qin and Wang Haichong what Zhang Heng had said, which shocked them.

Zhang Mao rushed over and looked at the three of them squarely, listening to their plans.

The decision of the Southeast China Sea expedition was in the hands of Zhang Qin and Yu Hong, the chief and deputy directors, and although Wang Haichong was only a young Taoist priest, the compass he mastered played a crucial role in determining the direction of the fleet's navigation. In addition, he was also responsible for the mapping of the regional charts and topographic maps of the islands that the fleet had explored. Therefore, Wang Haichong also had a crucial influence on the decision-making of the expedition.

"Since these natives are interested in killing my crew when they see the wealth, let's take the elite men and horses to touch them tomorrow just like we did last time in Xiaoliuqiu, and kill them by surprise." Wang Hai hated and hated.

"That's what I wanted, so I came to the two brothers to discuss the distribution of manpower, and tomorrow I will take someone to touch the place and level the native village."

Yu Hong said with confidence, along the way, except for the decent army of the Japanese state, everywhere he passed was a wild land. The local natives live in villages, there are no big tribes, they are thin and small, their weapons are poor, and there are few kinds of iron tools to be seen. One of his own men can beat ten of them, as long as the number of natives is not too many dozens of times that of his own, and the brothers who are not afraid of death to besiege their subordinates, they will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor.

Zhang Qin was not as confident as Yu Hong, he had been to the sea a few times in Luzon in his early years, but he had seen the local natives gather to fight, and the number of people at a time was thousands. The fleet of 50 men left in Xiaoliuqiu is now only 250 men. If they went deep into the unfamiliar jungle and were surrounded by natives, the brothers would be exhausted to death no matter how much they could fight.

What's more, Zhang Qin has seen the natives use poisonous arrows and a kind of poisonous needle to seal their throats.

"It's better to think about it!" Zhang Qin hesitated: "When the Luzon natives fight, they can often summon several nearby villages with good relations with them to fight together, the number of people is as little as thousands, and the number is thousands, and they generally use spears and poisonous arrows as weapons, and there is also a kind of hidden weapon made of hollow bamboo poles to blow poison needles, which is not easy to deal with. And we are not familiar with this place, and if we attack rashly, I am afraid that it will ......"

"And the poison needle that can blow out?" Wang Haichong shuddered, if he walked on the road and was asked by the natives to quietly blow a needle in the jungle, wouldn't it be very aggrieved to die?

Zhang Mao also has a little understanding of the weapons used by the Luzon natives, Luzon is hot all the year round, and there are many kinds of highly poisonous things growing in the jungle, and the local natives like to smear the venom of these highly poisonous things on arrowheads and poisonous needles to hunt and kill the enemy, and the end is extremely ruthless.

"Carving insect Xiaojier!" Yu Hong didn't care about the Dao, the local people were really as powerful as Zhang Qin said, and it would be impossible for Zhang Heng and them to come back alive and fourteen.

Zhang Qin and Wang Haichong couldn't persuade Yu Hong, who was furious, and after the crew saw Zhang Heng and their attack, they all held their breath and clamored that they would go to Pingshan tomorrow to destroy the village, so that the natives would know the fate of killing the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Qin had no choice but to agree to Yu Hong's request to send troops, and that night under Yu Hong's order, the fleet began to reorganize its troops.

It was decided to leave 100 people to guard the fleet, and Yu Hongqin led 150 people to kill it early tomorrow morning.

The crew rested for a good night, and began to cook and eat at dawn.

Yu Hong led more than 100 subordinates along the river under the leadership of Zhang Heng and others.

It's just that he didn't have to travel more than a mile, and Zhang Heng, who was exploring the road in front, ran back with a few subordinates who were exploring the way in a panic.

"Oh no, captain, let's withdraw quickly, the natives have gathered thousands of people and horses, and they are coming towards us with great momentum."

Yu Hong was furious, the person who killed me yesterday still had the same idea as himself today, and he attacked early in the morning, and found a lot of helpers.

Hearing that thousands of natives were coming towards them, everyone in the originally imposing team was shocked and had the intention of retreating.

Glancing at his subordinates, Yu Hong snorted: "What are you afraid of, is it difficult for the guy in your hand to use it to cut fruit?" ”

Zhang Heng and several of his subordinates were about to cry, it was really a group of natives who were killed with weapons! I regret that I instigated the captain to take revenge after I went back yesterday.

Yu Hong didn't believe in evil, so he had to take a look at the situation and personally lead people to reconnoitre, so Zhang Heng had no choice but to lead the way again.
