Chapter Twenty-Nine: Not Sui People Are Tang People
When Zhao Mengjun's exploration team returned to the main ship by boat, the main general Niu Jinda personally greeted him, which made Zhao Mengjun a little flattered.
"If the last general encounters an emergency halfway and fails to return at the specified time, please punish the general." Zhao Mengjun knelt down on one knee and said.
Niu Jinda looked at the team, there was no personnel shortage, and then looked at the ragged young men who were brought back before saying: "It's okay, since you encounter an emergency, you must have a way to deal with the emergency, and I will not punish you, and you will tell me in detail, what is going on on the island." After that, Niu Jinda subconsciously glanced at the men in cloth again.
"Returning to the general, the last general led thirty-five soldiers into the rainforest to explore the situation on the island, and in about an hour, the last general had already penetrated deep into the island, among which there were many poisonous insects, but fortunately, there was a reminder from the general of the left guard, and he was covered with sulfur powder, so he was not attacked by anything." Speaking of this, Zhao Mengjun also glanced at Xu Yang who was standing aside gratefully, and then continued: "Just as the last general's political counselor reminded him to return, the last general heard someone in the rainforest shouting for help, and the last general immediately made a decision, and ordered the sergeants to line up to meet the battle, and saw these young people rushing out of the rainforest, when the last general asked them where they were from, they knew that they were Tang people, and after protecting these people, they saw about 20 natives who were chasing and killing with wooden spears, and the last general killed them all. ”
I have to say that Zhao Mengjun's eloquence is still good, and he briefly explained in detail what happened on the shore.
"Oh?" Niu Jinda frowned and said, "Did these natives run away?" Are you sure you're all killed? "It is worthy of being a general of an army, and what is considered is never in front of you.
"General Hui, all of them were killed, and when these natives met us, we shot most of them by surprise, and the rest seemed to kowtow in fear, and none of them ran away." Zhao Mengjun said with certainty.
"Okay." Niu Jinda nodded, then turned to the ragged young men in cloth and said, "Who are you?" ”
The young man at the head obviously heard from the conversation just now that the person asking in front of him must be a great general, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the general's words, the villain is a Tang person of Luzon Island, surnamed Cheng Ming, and lives in Dulu Village in the north of the island. "The young man had a strong southern accent, but he could still understand it.
After listening to the young man's words, Niu Jinda's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"How much do you know about the Tagalogs and the Ilokes, and how many of them are? What about armaments? Where is the base camp located? ”
"Back to the general's words, Tagalog and Iroque are all natives of Luzon, the total population is about 10,000, except for women, almost all the people are soldiers, they all live at the foot of the high mountains in the south of the big island, every year they have to attack the village of the Tang people, this time there are about a thousand more natives, but these natives are weapons are simple tools such as wooden spears, they do not farm, they will only plunder the grain grown by the Tang people, although they do not kill the Tang people, but they all use the Tang people as a tool for farming, Therefore, the life of the Tang people on the island is miserable, and the general is invited to rescue him. The young man said that he was sad, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Niu Jinda stared at the young man's eyes carefully for a while, and then turned to Xu Yang next to him and said, "What does the left guard think?" ”
"Eh" Xu Yang, who was still watching the excitement, was suddenly stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly ask his opinion? Shouldn't you ask Yuan Fang what she thinks at this time?
Although he was thinking crankily in his heart, Xu Yang was not silent at all, and blurted out a sentence: "The races that dare to oppress the Tang people are all enemies of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Cheng Shulu shrunk his small body, hiding in the storage room underneath, and through the gaps in the wooden planks, he could see many barbarians wreaking havoc on his home.
The elder brother told himself that these barbarians were the Tagalog and the Iroque, these barbarian natives not only knew no shame and did not wear clothes, but the most hateful thing was that they would come to the village once a year to loot, although the elder brother and the young people in the village were much smarter than these natives who only knew how to eat bananas that grew in the open air, but there were many natives, and every resistance had to be killed, and only by honestly handing over food could they save their lives.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shulu gritted his teeth, he must resist when he grows up, and kill them like his brother, this time his brother said that he united more than a dozen young people in the village, and I don't know if I can secretly kill a few of these bad guys.
The elder brother told himself that he must not go out when he hid in the storage room, and when the natives dispersed, he would come back to find him, and Cheng Shulu knew that the natives would disperse when it was dark, so he planned to go out as soon as it was dark.
Just when Cheng Shulu was still worried about his brother's safety, he heard a strange scream on the partition, and then heard the sound of many natives in the house running outside, and there were a few screams faintly, and the sound tended to become more and more dense.
Cheng Shulu was very scared, he could hear that those voices were human moans, he had seen a native kill an old man with a wooden fork to take seeds, and the sound made by the old man when he died was also like this, Cheng Shulu was really afraid that the native would kill the people in the village again.
The restless voices quickly subsided, and a moment of silence fell silent.
Cheng Shulu could hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
A heavy footstep came from the room, and then there was a strong start to lift the plank of the storage room, Cheng Shulu was startled, and he was about to stab the dagger in his hand all the time, when he heard an unfamiliar voice outside the plank, "Luzi, it's me!" ”
"Brother!" As soon as Cheng Shulu heard this voice, he knew that it was his brother.
"Hey, hey." The plank was lifted, and his brother's gentle face came into view, Cheng Shulu almost jumped up, and after being pulled up by his brother, he hugged his brother's thigh, feeling safe in his heart.
Cheng Yufa also gently touched the hair of his younger brother, since his parents died of tuberculosis, this little brother is his only relative in the world.
"Brother, are all the natives gone?" Cheng Shulu asked with wide eyes.
"Hmm." Cheng Shuofa smiled confidently and said, "We don't have to worry about the attack of the natives in the future." ”
"Huh? Why? Brother, did you kill them all? Cheng Shulu asked with admiration on his face.
"Haha, there are so many natives, how can my brother kill him, this time it is our Datang army that is coming, the army will be stationed here for a while, I heard that it is to purge these natives who bully the people of Datang."
"Brother, didn't we escape from Datang? Dad used to always say that Da Sui was good, and he didn't want to live in Datang, didn't we just cross the sea and come out? Cheng Shulu said innocently.
I saw Cheng Shuo cover his mouth all of a sudden, and said with a stern face: "Luzi, don't mention the word Da Sui in front of anyone in the future, do you know?" Now it is the world of the Tang Dynasty, we are not the remnants of the Sui Dynasty from now on, we are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, so that those armies will take care of us, you know? Cheng Suifa stared at Cheng Suilu's eyes and said very seriously.
"Oh." Seeing his brother's strict expression, Cheng Shulu had no choice but to nod his head as if he understood or not, "Don't talk about the Great Sui in the future, so that the Tang army will kill the natives, and my brother and Lu Lu will not be bullied by the natives." ”
"That's right." Cheng Yufa smiled and touched his younger brother's head
Xu Yang saw that when he came to this village, everyone was cleaning the battlefield, and there were no dead bodies on the ground, but the blood printed on the dirt and still exuding a bright smell still told the cruel truth that had just happened.
Does Yu Chi Baolin have time to rest, this time he can get off the boat to see the scenery here, it is also a small vacation, the scenery here is good, but it is too backward, the house made of wood and thatch, it feels like it is falling down at a touch.
"Hey, Chu Mo, what do you think are the big balls on this tree?"
Cheng Chu gave him a silent look, "How do I know, you have to ask the eldest brother about this." ”
"Don't ask me, it's called a coconut, and it can't stop drinking." Xu Yang's ears were sharp, and he replied from a long distance. RS
