Alishi cowered in the crowd, nervously watching the boatmen across the creek. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He made a pact with Bazai and the other leaders that if the shipmen showed the slightest cowardice, they would join forces to kill the boatmen, seize their armor and weapons, and take their property.

But...... Things didn't seem to be the same as they expected.

The death that fell from the sky was terrifying, but the boatmen were accustomed to it, and then the death ...... Summoned by the boatmen?

Alishi's gaze stopped at Bazai's body.

He saw how Bazai was easily captured by a tall and muscular boatman, and he also saw several bottles of wine poured on Bazai's head.

He was a little sorry, the wine was delicious, it was really his appetite, and it was too wasteful to pour it out like this.

Then he saw that the head of the boat man seemed to be saying something to a very strangely dressed man beside him.

The man smiled and drew a sword from his waist.

It was a wooden sword, and in their village, only the little dolls used it as a toy, and of course, the wooden sword was quite exquisitely made.

Anything these boat men make, it's exquisite......

Alishi was thinking wildly, when suddenly he saw the man's hand shake, and in his hand, at some point, there were a few more yellow leaf-like things.

The natives who saw this scene were very curious, and then saw that the man shook his hand again, and the leaf-like thing actually burned on its own!

It didn't ignite it with a fire, and it burned on its own?

Before the natives could figure out the cause and effect, they saw the fancily dressed man with a strange step, and then the wooden sword pointed at the slaughter, and drank in his mouth.

Bang!

In the smoke and dust, there was a bang, and the man in fancy clothes was still a few steps away from Bazai, but his other hand, which was not holding a sword, spewed out the light of thunder and fire.

The thunder and fire light hit Bazai's body directly, and then, everyone heard a terrible scream, and Bazai's whole person burned!

Bazai got up and wanted to run into the water, but was kicked to the ground by a boat man, Bazai was no longer able to get up at this time, he could only lie on the ground and scream, and then under the eyes of everyone, he was burned alive.

The death that fell from the sky had already shocked everyone, and the burning in front of them made the natives even more shocked.

Alishi only felt that his two knees were so weak that he had no strength at all, and he couldn't help but fall to his knees.

He knew it would be humiliating, and he wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up after a few attempts.

Fortunately, he was not the only one, and as far as the eye could see, the natives standing in the front row, those who were so frightened that they fell to the ground, there were not a hundred but eighty.

Behind is the loud sound of death falling from the sky, and in front of it, there is a burning flame that beckons.

Alishi's heart was utterly fearful, and there was nothing in his poor and pitiful knowledge that would help him cope with the present situation.

Silence, as silent as night, and not one of the thousands of natives dared to speak out, and they were as quiet as night without orders.

"Tell them that a month ...... Well, in thirty days, they must decide, whether to submit or to war. Whoever does not return, after thirty days, we will summon the heavenly thunder and destroy it! ”

Zhou Quan was very satisfied with the pretending to be a ghost of the Jiuhe Road people, and he could see that in the eyes of those natives, there was no hatred and hostility now, and instead of it, there was only fear!

Although it is not a long-term way to use death to deter people, but at some point, the necessary means must still be used, and Zhou Quan does not do that kind of stupid thing.

Since ancient times, villains are afraid of power but not virtue, thinking that they can use benevolence, righteousness and morality to influence the barbarian natives...... It's not pedantic, it's stupid.

Zhou Quan can be sure that the natives in this vicinity, after seeing the power of artillery and the "immortal arts" of the Jiuhe people, will be honest and obedient. The establishment of Taoist temples to spread Han culture by the Jiuhe people and others will definitely be smoother, and accelerating the sinicization of the Turen is a huge progress for them.

It seems that the means are a little cruel and domineering, but under this thunderous method, it saves a lot of bloodshed of the Han people, and also allows the natives to be civilized faster.

This is much more benevolent than letting these natives continue to be cannibals.

The large pile of supplies by the brook is a lure.

The power of carrots does not depend on the carrots themselves, but whether the sticks are enough. If you just offer carrots, you will only attract more greed, and this is the meaning of the so-called insatiable desire.

Therefore, while Zhou Quan showed the carrot, he also showed the stick, and it was precisely because the stick was powerful and fierce enough that it brought a greater shock to the local people.

Under the two-pronged approach, these natives had to give in.

Those who swore to obey Zhou Quan that day had eight villages, and the two closest villages even immediately sent people back to bring the women and children in their own villages, and gave them to Zhou Quan, and then exchanged them for some cloth, glassware, and iron farm tools.

On the second day, two more villages succumbed.

On the third day, Zhou Quan was no longer patient, the cannon sounded again, and under the deterrence of the artillery, the remaining villages also swore in unison.

As for Bazai's village, they also want to give in, but how can there be no sacrifices in this conference?

After three days of fear, Zhou Quan refused to give in to the Bazai village and ordered all the surrendering villages to work together to slaughter the Bazai village.

Three days were enough for him to find out that Bazai's village was the most brutal in the vicinity, and that it was also a well-known cannibal village, and that they were too close to the gold mines, and if they were not destroyed, they would threaten the gold mines.

The matter of clearing Bazai Village was also handed over to those natives. Razing is the best means.

"There's one more thing that all the leaders have remembered." After slaughtering all the participants in Bazaizhai, Ali Shi, who was sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, tried not to be too conspicuous among the leaders, but at this time, he could hear the translator speak.

He muttered in his heart, how could there be something.

"From now on, all of your departments must have official Han surnames!" Zhou Quan commanded.

The Turen have no culture at all, and some primitive customs, in Zhou Quan's view, have no need to exist at all, so he decided to transform the Turen, first of all, to let them have the name that the Han people are accustomed to.

The indigenous leaders looked at each other, and they didn't know how they could take the right Han surname.

"And in order to show that he values you, the big man personally gave you names." The translator said again.

After finishing speaking, the translator pointed to himself proudly: "I, Han surname Ma, name Jiuyin!" ”

Ali Shi's eyebrows moved, this guy's native name is Ma Jin, and now he has changed it to Ma Jiuyin, in fact, the voice is similar.

"I'll order someone to come, and the big head will give you your name......" Ma Jiuyin said again.

He began to point out the leaders, and the leaders who are still here are only about twenty, so it didn't take long for Alishi to see that he was being stopped.

He stubbornly came up and knelt respectfully in front of Zhou Quan.

"Ali History...... Then your village, from today onwards, all the surnames are Shi, and your name will be Shi ......"

Zhou Quan is not a person who is good at choosing names, this Ali Shi's name, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at the rock at his feet and said, "Shi Shi." ”

"Shi ...... Stone...... Head ......"

Ali Shi, no, Shi Shi learned his new name from the translator's mouth, and learned a sentence awkwardly, and a strange emotion floated up.

At first, he was uncomfortable, and then he thought that this was the name given to him by the captain of the ship who could summon the thunder, which must have some special meaning, which made him gradually a little proud.

The more than 20 parts present, basically including the villages in the north of Liuqiu, after taking the Han surname one by one, it became the 22 villages with the Han surname mentioned in the history books of later generations.

After all this was done, Shi Shishi could finally take his people back to the village.

Of course, he went back with some supplies from the ship's chief.

For Zhou Quan, these materials are cheap things, but for Shi Shishi, this is a huge wealth.

His clansmen were all smiling, whispering about whether they could get a little bit, but Shi Shishi frowned, smiling and worrying.

"Chief, do we really want to send women and children over as the captain said?"

As he got closer to his village, his people realized that the harvest was not without a price. Therefore, someone came up and asked Shi Shishi.

Shi Shishi glared: "If you don't do what the big head does, what will be the result?" ”

Thinking of the inverted frieze ghosts who were killed by the thunder, as well as Bazai who was burned alive, the head of the questioner suddenly shrank back.

"The boatman is so powerful, we can't beat it at all." Shi Shi muttered: "They are blessed by the gods, and they can summon heavenly thunder and heavenly fire, you look at the two priests beside the big head, they ...... Not to mention them, even the samurai next to the big man, our most powerful warrior, is no different from a child in front of him! ”

In the past few days on the road, Shi Shishi has always pondered this matter in his heart.

"Chiefman, why do you say the gods obey the boat people, why do they have so much wealth and such terrible power? If we could summon the gods and have that power, would we be able to possess so much wealth? ”

The words of the people around him were like thunder summoned by the boatmen, and Shi Shishi's eyes sparkled.

Yes, the boatmen can summon gods, they have great power, they have the sharpest weapons, the hardest armor, and even their wine is better than the fruit wine made in their own village!

Why can't he be like the boat man, didn't he send the hostages there, they said, the hostages could go back to their village as long as they stayed with them until they were eighteen years old...... Let your sons, nephews, and even little girls go!

Go to the boat man and learn the boat man's ability to summon the gods, then you can become a big man!

Shi Shi only felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, as if he had drunk too much wine brought by the boatmen. (To be continued.) )
