Chapter 399 Hualanzhai Dujia Village

The integration of the second village was easier than that of the first, and although some villages still had unharvested crops, this did not dampen the enthusiasm for building new villages, after all, strong villages in the Ryukyus were more stable than fields.

After a few days of drawing and comparison, Zhang San found that the location of Hualanzhai is a mountain pass on the northern branch of the Danshui River, as long as Hualanzhai is occupied and then set up a outpost in the location of Keelung Port, then the original mountain roads in Keelung and Taipei will be blocked.

As long as the aborigines in this area are cleared, and then patrol boats are set up on the Tamsui River, even if there is no need to worry about the attack of the natives here, Hualanzhai has become a village that must be attacked this time.

It's just that Zhang San needs to prepare before the fight, and sent a ship back to continue to transfer personnel, and the original merchant plan has also changed because of the smooth takeover of Tamsui City, so a large number of craftsmen and various workshops are needed here. There were no other craftsmen in this group except for the two blacksmiths who came and the carpenters who accompanied the ship.

After the completion of the second village, Zhang San's materials were somewhat lacking, especially the lack of iron tools, the villagers originally did not have any iron tools, and the construction of the new village required a lot of iron from small iron nails to large Quyuan plows.

When Zhang San came, he considered that selling weapons should be more profitable than farm tools, so he brought more weapons than farm tools, and the little farm tools he brought with him were still Zhang San's original plan to find a foothold for himself to use.

So when the two villages were built, Zhang San had to slow down, first recruited a 300-man marine, and began to carry out some adaptive training in the local mountains and forests, and the training targets were these small tribes in the north of the Ryukyus, and they were all captured and turned into slaves.

The aborigines live in the mountains and forests, relying on fishing and hunting for a living, so most of the villages can only maintain a population of one or two hundred.

The reason why Hualan Village has developed to such a scale is entirely by looting other villages and forcing these Han villages to pay money and grain, and such a powerful indigenous village in northern Ryukyu is only one.

After a month of clearance and training, this group of marines finally looked a little more decent, although there were casualties, but it was still within acceptable limits, and a month later, the fleet of ships sailing directly from Sea Shark Island finally arrived, this time with ten cargo ships of 5,000 stones.

There were also two thousand new marines who arrived with the ship, and after the arrival of this group of people, Zhang San decided to take Hualanzhai and completely occupy this area, just this place, hundreds of thousands of people can be immigrated, so Zhang San is not in a hurry to continue to expand.

When Zhang San was preparing to fight the idea of Hualan Village, Hualan Village was also discussing preparations to deal with this new Han village, and after a month of observation, Hualan Village figured out the number of newcomers.

There are nearly 1,000 newcomers in this batch, which is almost equivalent to all the force of Hualanzhai, but the Han people have always been cowardly, and their more than 1,000 people are enough to kill all these Han people, and all the natives of Hualanzhai think so, so Hualanzhai sent their representatives a month later to demand that Tamsui City hand over money and grain, otherwise they will slaughter these Han villages.

When Zhang San saw this arrogant native, who was talking in the native language, he suddenly had a small plan, and immediately ordered someone to hack the native entourage to death, beat the messenger half to death, and then threw it out.

In the next half a month, things turned out to be as Zhang San expected, the natives were insulted by Zhang San and immediately began to prepare for war, and after half a month of preparation, Hualanzhai gathered more than ten villages of natives and began to kill in Tamsui City.

After Zhang San killed their messenger to provoke them, they screamed and killed them, and then Zhang San led three thousand marines to set up an encirclement on the way they had to go, and these natives were trapped there.

In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, it was time for a group of generals to perform, Zhang San and others rushed in turn, especially Zhang Yuanba, who was like a hell demon descending into the world, a pair of sledgehammers would die and be injured when they rubbed it, and wherever they rushed was a bloody road.

After killing all the people who dared to hold weapons, Zhang San and the others were also panting, although each person only killed one or two hundred people, but after all, they rushed into the enemy group, and the consumption was several times that of usual.

Zhang San believed that this massacre was effective, at least it could deter these remaining natives from daring to rebel in this life, and this group of newly joined marines could also have a deeper understanding of the strength of Zhang San and others.

When there is no strong cohesion, military deterrence is the simplest, most direct and effective way to subdue people's hearts, and sure enough, after the news of Zhang San and the others coming back, Dujia Village, which was originally fighting against Da Li Zhuang, immediately sent an envoy to take refuge.

After two days of repair, Zhang San led the team to attack Hualan Village, but when he arrived at the place, he found that Hualan Village had fallen apart, Zhang San's encirclement was not so tight after all, and some of the natives who escaped successfully spread the legend of the northern demons and gods.

Zhang San reconnoitred, and as a result, the indigenous cottages outside the Hualan Pass were relocated, which saved Zhang San's time, and Zhang San successfully established a defense line in the Hualan Pass, and then began large-scale clearance and development.

The focus of Zhang San's development was on the establishment of various workshops, not to be very productive, but to have as many as possible, and all the indigenous captives were used to build roads, cut down trees, trim fields, and dig canals.

Then Zhang San temporarily moved all the villages on the south bank of the Tamsui River to the north bank, and then drew strong men from each village to form a marine corps.

In the end, according to statistics, Zhangsan in the entire northern Ryukyus accepted more than 30,000 Han Chinese and established more than 10 large villages, and Tamsui City also began to build commercial streets and began to sell necessary daily necessities to nearby villagers.

In the third month, the first batch of Sea Shark Island immigrants arrived, and all the 5,000 people Zhang San were enriched into Tamsui City, which finally made Tamsui City like a town, and various supporting facilities related to people's livelihood were also established.

The most important thing is that An Daoquan finally arrived with the ship, and the cholera problem that Zhang San was worried about also had a solution. Although there is no cinchona tree, Zhang San still used An Daoquan to get the traditional Chinese medicine method of treating malaria with Artemisia annua.

This kind of thing is not a big challenge for a miracle doctor, but for the development of the island, if the problem of disease is solved, the rest is not a problem.
