Lord of Australia 23

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Patron Saint of Flinders Island

On January 11 of the first year of the first year of the Common Era, this is the forty-first day after Zhao Le's crossing, and today's small wharf is particularly lively, because the group that went to Tasmania to dig for gold has returned, and brought back a small half boat of gold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

left behind the stunned Li Fugui and a group of traversers. "Groove! So much gold, they dug it up? Zhao Le touched the gold that had fallen from the boat and said, looking at the group of captives.

Their feet are tied with oil-soaked vines, tied with dead knots, they are all black, dirty, but they didn't make them hungry, and it was enough to eat a kangaroo casually, but why did Zhao Le still let the natives settle the fields, in the future, Zhao Le was in charge of Australia, and he must remove this decentralized living model, and at that time it would be impossible to eat enough by nomadism alone, and now there are several reasons for farming, first of all, you can cultivate a group of farmers who can farm, and secondly, you can harvest some food to improve your diet, In the end, Zhao Le is about to integrate Flinders Island, and integrating Flinders Island requires a lot of food.

According to Zhao Le's scattered people on the island, there are at least a dozen tribes on Flinders Island, with no less than three thousand people, of which there are seven or eight hundred warriors who can fight, but fortunately, they are all scattered and tribe-based, and they are also facing the situation before the Wuke tribe, in the north of the island, there is also a group of tribes that are very similar to the war tribe, but the war tribe is nothing compared to them, that group of people is more than 300 people, and there are nearly 1,000 women and children.

They are constantly invading other indigenous tribes on Flinders Island, and there is nothing they can do in the face of powerful enemies, the natives need someone else to save them, otherwise they will inevitably be swallowed up.

Zhao Le just wants to find this time, come to a big military training, invite the tribes on Flinders Island to participate, the indigenous tribes who have suffered from the invasion will definitely join forces with the Uk tribe, and then kill the enemy, the Uk tribe can't help them.

Asking someone to pack up the gold, Zhao Le walked towards the captive leader of the war tribe, and the native couldn't help but snort when he saw that it was Zhao Le, and turned his head.

"Why, you haven't understood it after such a long time of education, it's hard to mine, it's hard to farm, and if you want to live well, you have to listen to me."

When the native heard Zhao Le say this, he turned his head and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"No, it's not just you, it's all of you." Seeing that the natives no longer refused, Zhao Le turned around and said, "Crook, bring the weapon I prepared."

After waiting for a while, I saw Crook come with a dozen guards carrying a bunch of leather armor and spears.

"This is what is given to you, as long as you put on your armor and take up your spear, and go and kill my enemies, I will contact you as prisoners, and give you land, houses, and ships, and of course, you will come back with your life." Zhao Le said, and handed a leather armor and a spear to the native.

This is the battalion of the dead that Zhao Le has long wanted to form, after learning that the enemies on Flinders Island are also extremely fierce, Zhao Le estimated the victory rate on his side, not surprisingly, even if Zhao Le takes all the people of the Uke tribe and joins forces with the indigenous tribes on Flinders Island, even if he can kill it, the Uke tribe will be greatly injured, and in the end he will not be able to achieve Zhao Le's goal: to control the entire Flinders Island.

And with the help of this group of captives, it's different, let's not talk about their lack of people, as long as they are powerful enough, but more than a month of high-intensity labor has made some of them frail go to see God, and the rest are strong, this group of people still has their leader to lead the team, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not something that ordinary people can resist, as for why they were captured by Zhao Le, uh...... Don't you see who the protagonist is, he's a traverser, he's the protagonist, and he can't even catch an aborigine, and he's the protagonist.

With this group of heavy infantry and Zhao Le's emu cavalry, as well as the navy's "Fugui", Zhao Le was confident that he would annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop and minimize his own casualties.

As for the indigenous tribes on Flinders Island, it is good for Zhao Le if they don't attack, and the pressure on Zhao Le to contribute will be less, and if they don't attack, Zhao Le can also defeat the enemy alone, and later they can use this as an excuse to provoke a war.

The indigenous leader took the leather armor and spear, and suddenly said to Zhao Le, "If you can not kill them, I will be willing to be your slave."

"Don't worry, as long as you can lead them to fight bravely, I will release you from captivity, as for being my slave, this is not necessary, as long as you are obedient, I will not treat you badly, of course, I will not treat your subordinates badly." Zhao Le didn't stay here, turned around and left, leaving this sentence when he left.

Looking at Zhao Le's back slowly moving away, Karuman, the leader of the War Tribe, said slowly, "I hope you can do what you say."

…… At the small dock, there was a lot of people, and Zhao Le and other important personnel of the Wuke tribe came here, just because of the thing on the deck of the "Fugui".

I saw that this thing was black, cylindrical, about two meters long, erected by a cart, placed on the deck of the "Fugui", quietly enjoying the worship of human beings.

"Wo Groove, I'll just say, how can anyone who dares to do maritime business in Daming not have naval artillery, Li Fugui also said that he even threw the cannon in order to escape, damn it, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's cleverness, this cannon would be buried." Qin Baichuan has been pouting on the side.

And Li Fugui on the side was excited, originally the nature of his business was not high, after this shipwreck, he wanted to go back to his old business, and at this time, Zhao Le was on the side to make him an iron-making apprentice, and now Li Fugui has returned to the iron-making frenzy of the year.

But the land of the church robbed him of his work, so he was very idle now, and suddenly with this cannon, he had the idea of making a cannon.

But it's not, why didn't you dare to build this and that in Daming before, the cost is high, what iron costs money, and the scrap iron that is bad is also paid for by yourself, Li Fugui, who is already poor, naturally does not dare to make cannons, which swallow iron, besides, Daming is not allowed to make cannons, but there is not so much attention to in Australia.

What the?!? No iron? I heard you right, in Australia, a "country that sits on a minecart", there will be no iron? Although it is not Australia's main mining area, it is home to some small iron ore mines. What the?!? I'm afraid that I will be arrested for making cannons without permission, STOP! Wait until I'm done digging up this lump of ear droppings, ahem! Where are you, Cape Barron Island, Australia, here the Ukrainian tribe is the master, you build artillery to protect the Ukrainian tribe, how can someone arrest you, even if you are arrested, it is because other tribes are greedy that we have artillery to arrest you to make artillery, but we will ensure all your safety issues, so you don't have to worry about any problems at all, just make cannons.

Therefore, after Li Fugui told Zhao Le and others about this idea, everyone immediately approved it.
