Chapter 880: History is always strikingly similar
When the people of Biandu were stomping their hands and feet, shivering and complaining about the cold weather, in Luzon, where the four seasons are like spring, the first batch of Song people who immigrated here encountered big trouble.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"
The sound of shouts and gongs broke the silence of the camp and startled countless birds, and the men in the camp took up their weapons and rushed into the wooden wall lined up with wood for defense, staring closely ahead.
At this moment, I saw that in front of the camp, a group of people dressed in clothes made of animal skins or leaves, all of them were cloaked, and the complexion of the Song people was darker, holding wooden sticks or bows and arrows in their hands, and their mouths made strange shouts, rushing towards the camp of the Song people.
After a cursory observation by an experienced veteran, there were two to three thousand natives in this group.
Liao Shixian looked angry, stepped on the wooden ladder and climbed the straight sound, and after staying behind the wooden wall, he stared at these natives in the distance and scolded: "Damn, bring the little artillery that Master Hou gave us, bomb Lao Tzu, and kill these bitches!" ”
The corporal was busy doing things according to Liao Shixian's instructions, and he also understood very well that this master was really angry today, otherwise he would never have bombarded it with artillery. You must know that in the Great Song Dynasty, gunpowder is not only expensive, but also strictly controlled, few people know the formula ingredients of gunpowder, and in Luzon this thing is used a little less, there is no place to replenish.
It is no wonder that Liao Shi had a headache first, Luzon produces gold and copper, and the layers led by Lotte have decided to develop Luzon at the beginning of the year. The tyranny of the people of the two Zhejiang provinces and the rebellion of Fang La became more and more impoverished, and they had not had time to breathe and recover, Zhao Ji ordered the two Zhejiang to reinstate the Huashi Gang Response Bureau, and the people of the two Zhejiang provinces were unbearable and harassed, and their lives became increasingly difficult.
This timing is also difficult, Wang Yuanwai and others said that the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang moved overseas to Luzon.
The people who couldn't stand the harsh government immediately moved their minds, and their hearts were even clearer, and in the long run, there was only a dead end in Liangzhejiang, and they became the first batch of Chinese immigrants who went south to Luzon. Many of them were rebel soldiers who were dispersed during the Fang La uprising, or criminals wanted by the government.
Luzon is located in the tropics and is an island, the climate is pleasant all year round, the rainfall is abundant, it is very suitable for the growth of rice, and it is the original land that has not been explored, the soil is fertile, and it can mature three crops of rice in a year, which the Great Song Dynasty has never had.
Of course, the purpose of Lotte and the others was not untargeted, and the location of these immigrants was chosen to be located near the seaside with convenient transportation, which is also rich in gold mines.
In this land, the first generation of Chinese immigrants began to build the first settlement, where trees are inexhaustible, with the hardships and hard work of the Chinese people, but a settlement made of trees was completed in the rest of the month, in addition to rows of wooden houses, there are wooden walls and rivers to prevent wild beasts, and there are enemy towers at the four corners.
Before the first foothold was completed, the rules were also set up by Liao Shixian, of course, they were also formulated by the top leaders of Lotte: whoever develops the wasteland, the right to use it belongs to whom, no taxes are collected, but the excess rice grain must be sold to the officials and soldiers; There are gold and copper mines nearby, but gold and copper mines cannot be allowed to be mined privately, and this is the bottom line that no one can touch.
Soon the pattern of new immigrants was fixed, and the division of labor was also very clear: women weave and farm at home, and men pan for gold in gold mines.
When the first crop of rice began to be harvested, there was news that someone was missing, Liao Shixian and others thought at first that they were attacked by wild beasts, but after some investigation, they found that the missing person was captured by the local natives of Luzon as slaves.
The reason given by the Turen tribal leader was simple, saying that the Song people had robbed them of their land.
Of course, with the combat effectiveness of Liao Shi and his subordinate sergeants, plus the swords, guns, swords, halberds, and halberds in his hands, there is no suspense in beating a group of natives to cry for their fathers and mothers.
There is a huge difference in weapons and equipment, and there is nothing to brag about if Liao Shi wins first, but Liao Shixian quickly has a headache, because he is now like a hornet's nest, after this battle, the nearby Turen tribes heard that their compatriots were beaten by the Song people, and they came to take revenge, either attacking the camp or sneaking up on the Song people who were working in the fields.
Here I have to talk about the structure of the Luzon natives, to be precise, there are two kinds of skin color of the Luzon natives, the first is the Paleolithic people who arrived in Luzon, these people who first arrived in Luzon are the "Kunlun slaves" called by the Song people, generally not more than five feet tall in the Song Dynasty, equivalent to one meter and five in later generations, so they are also called small black dwarves, and they were all captured by the sea traders before the Tang Dynasty and sold as slaves to the Tang people.
In addition to the first arrival of the little black dwarfs, after the little black dwarfs there were also groups of immigrants from Indonesia and Malays, these immigrants gradually formed a mixed race, becoming the second group of indigenous people in Luzon, the late Tang Dynasty to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, began to establish the first slave state in Luzon, and these natives were divided into villages, each village has 30 to 100 households, the head of the village is called Datu.
Blocked by moats and wooden walls, and with the advantage of weapons, all attacks launched by the natives were repulsed. It's just that after the natives were repulsed, they soon made a comeback, since they couldn't beat the people who played in the shadows, they often squatted in the shadows and attacked the Song people who went out to harvest the crops, and Liao Shixian and others were annoyed.
It is not a way to fight in general, Liao Shixian began to contact the Turen tribe in an attempt to negotiate in exchange for peace, but the negotiations were not smooth, and a group of Turen tribes threatened to turn all the Song captives into lowly slaves, which completely angered Liao Shixian, and after preparations, the Turen also gathered their strength and prepared to take the Song camp in one fell swoop.
After the white Europeans set foot on the land of America, greed, bloodshed and killing followed, and Lotte moved the Chinese people to Luzon, although they did not take the initiative to provoke the local natives, but the local natives took the initiative to provoke the Chinese people.
It should be noted that although most of the Luzon at this time was still in a primitive tribal society, it began to evolve into a slave society, and the main source of slaves in the slave society was the prisoners of war produced through war.
Liao Shixian understood that the superiority of the Song people in weapons could not offset the weakness in numbers, and besides, these natives had lived in the primeval forests and islands of Luzon for generations, and fighting in the jungle was the weakness of his own people.
Obviously, this time the natives attacked in advance, you must know that the largest of the natives in the village or tribe is only more than 100 households, and the few are only more than 30 households, and two or three thousand natives can be gathered in front of them to attack the camp, at least more than ten tribes or villages have made up people.
The small cannon with an inner diameter of three inches and six minutes, a diameter of two inches, a total length of one foot and two inches, and a weight of 28 pounds and 2 taels was carried to the wooden city wall by the corporaries, and first put into the primer gunpowder firing bag, and then into the warhead bag with anti-personnel projectiles.
Looking at the natives rushing towards the camp densely, Liao Shixian got rid of his anger and a little joy to see a good show, and when these natives were about to attack the camp, he waved his hand: "Light the fire, give Lao Tzu a bang!" ”
The torch ignited the fire of the cannon, and the fire burned shorter and shorter with the sizzling sound, and then there was a loud "boom", and a tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and countless dense objects flew out with the tongue of fire.
An artillery piece covered a range of tens of meters, and five artillery pieces on the wooden wall of the camp fired a salvo, covering an area that can be imagined, under this salvo, hundreds of natives who attacked the camp were knocked to the ground, and many natives immediately died with a whimper, and many natives were seriously injured.
Although these natives are ignorant, these natives are not stupid, and before they reach the camp, they don't know what evil magic the Song people used, and they have killed and injured more than 100 people at once, who dares to rush forward again, and hesitate in fear.
Seeing that the natives were holding their feet and not moving forward, the natives who were watching the battle from behind couldn't sit still, and began to shout loudly behind, and these natives heard the shouting, hesitated for a moment, held their weapons and rushed towards the Song camp again.
"It's really enjoyable, or this thing works!" Seeing that the natives were knocked down, Liao Shixian looked more and more excited, and shouted: "Ma Li, charge and set fire to the cannon, and give Lao Tzu a very strong bang!" ”
Not only was Liao Shixian annoyed by these natives, but also the soldiers under his command were also annoyed.
At this time, Wang Zhe came over: "General Liao, don't rush to kill everything!" ”
"Prince Wang, it's dangerous here, you better stand back, there are us here!" Liao Shi first saw Wang Zhe hurriedly shouting, and then instructed the people next to him: "Hurry up and bring Wang Gongzi down......"
The soldier who was about to send himself off the wall was pushed away, Wang Zhe said: "Please also ask General Liao's subordinates to show mercy!" ”
Hearing this, Liao Shixian shook his head, pointed at the natives who were still trying to attack the camp, and said angrily: "These natives are very hateful, if you don't get rid of them, sooner or later they will come to find our trouble!" ”
Wang Zhe said with the unique wisdom of a businessman: "When we open gold and copper mines, it is when there is a shortage of labor, and we take these natives captive and use them as slaves, as long as we give them some food, I don't know how much wages we can save." ”
Hearing this, Liao Shixian hesitated a little, shook his head and said: "This is not very good, Master Hou has given an order, don't let us oppress the natives, let alone treat the natives as slaves......"
"As a soldier, General Liao has heard that 'the general is outside, and the fate of the group is not affected.'" What about that? Looking at the natives who continued to attack the city, Wang Zhe said.
Liao Shixian hesitated.
"What's there to hesitate about, these natives forced us, let's either kill them or enslave them!" Pointing to the attacking native Wang Zhe said, and then there was a sneer: "In Wang's eyes, instead of killing them and killing them, it is better to leave them alive and enslave them!" ”
Killing, he Liao Shi didn't blink an eye, but he disobeyed Lotte's order to enslave these natives, and his heart was still hesitant.
Seeing that Liao Shixian was still hesitating, Wang Zhe slapped his chest and said loudly: "If Master Hou is to blame, Wang Mou will bear it!" ”
Although Wang Zhe's sister is just the concubine of Lord Lehou, this relationship is definitely hard enough, Liao Shi thought about it first, nodded and said: "Listen to Wang Gongzi's ......"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......
Before Liao Shixian's words were finished, five deafening artillery roars rang out again.
The huge casualties caused the natives who were attacking the camp to collapse immediately and began to retreat......
Even the Tudas in the back were also half cold.
Seeing the natives retreating, Liao Shi first drew out his waist knife and shouted, "Brothers, go out with me to catch them alive!" ”
