Chapter 330: Leading the Way Party (I)
Next, when Simba left, the Taiwanese army began a large-scale search for the natives who had participated in the rebellion. However, the Taiwanese army also fell into a difficult problem, which was almost the same as the problem encountered by the Japanese army that invaded China back then. Once these aborigines who participated in the rebellion laid down their weapons and picked up their hoes, they could not tell whether they were ordinary people or the natives who had participated in the rebellion at that time. Therefore, these are all unjudgeable, which makes the Taiwan military a little jealous.
Because Taiwan's army is not suitable for direct large-scale arrest of indigenous people, because Taiwan already has hundreds of thousands of indigenous slaves, there is no need to arrest them again in a short period of time. At present, Taiwan only has more than 500,000 Chinese in Borneo, but there are already hundreds of thousands of natives. If you continue to capture the natives as slaves for short-term interests, you will definitely not be able to use a sufficient proportion of the population to suppress it. Therefore, most of the current arrests of indigenous people are also carried out on a small scale by mercenaries, rather than organizing armies to destroy indigenous tribes and then treating indigenous people as slaves. If you want to talk about efficiency, it must be the latter one, which is definitely higher, and tens of thousands of natives at a time will be in hand, and the cost is low. However, at present, the number of indigenous people that Taiwan can tolerate has reached its peak, and it cannot continue to increase, otherwise it will definitely face an uncontrollable result next. So it's just a matter of being able to tolerate small-scale captures by mercenaries, and for the time being for the natives of those large tribes.
If the Taiwan side now orders all those big tribes to be arrested, I am afraid that they will all face the result of chaos in Borneo. After all, if Taiwan really attacks the entire Borneo natives, it will be like throwing frogs into hot water, so they will definitely face the result of exploding. At that time, the natives will be panicked, and at that time, they will definitely scatter and fight with the Chinese everywhere. At that time, I am afraid that the Chinese will also face the result of not being able to produce with peace of mind. So the real best thing to do is to immigrate without too much irritation of the indigenous people. Ask them not to jump over the wall too quickly, which will prevent them from having a thrilling outburst.
So it's not suitable to implicate too much at the moment, as long as you find those tribes who participated in the rebellion. But it's the same when these natives lay down their weapons, and no one can tell. So, this is where Taiwan is in a difficult place.
"Is there anyone who can tell which tribe participated in that rebellion?" Chen Liyan said angrily.
"Commander Chen. We can't tell! These natives are basically a group of locals, and we outsiders can't be distinguished, so we can't tell at all. And the real solution to this problem is to emigrate from the country as much as possible. As long as tens of millions of people are transferred, we will definitely be able to obtain a good control of this territory. Now, in the final analysis, there are too few Chinese here, and many of them are our troops from Taiwan, or even garrison troops. And if we can solve these problems, we must find a way to expand the proportion of Chinese people here. Chen Liyan's chief of staff said.
"Well, the immigration work continues to progress. But it's still too slow. After all, China pays attention to the homeland, and we can't send a large number of people to the mainland to recruit immigrants, so we rely on buying immigrants with mainland officials, which is obviously a bit slow! Chen Liyan said.
However, at this moment, someone from outside immediately came.
"Commander Chen, there is a native who has come to report, and he said that he knows of the tribes involved in the rebellion." A staff officer said.
"Oh? Please! Chen Liyan said.
And quickly. A native in his thirties, who was about thirty years old, came to Chen Liyan's side, and then he immediately knelt down.
"General Chen. We are so blinded by lard that I should not be part of the rebellion. Please also ask General Chen to forgive his sins! The native said immediately.
And Chen Liyan immediately said angrily: "Hmph, you guys, plotting a rebellion is really a heinous crime!" If we follow our rules, we must be put to death severely. And the family will die together! ”
"General Chen, I'm guilty, I'm guilty!" The native immediately pleaded.
However, Chen Liyan suddenly became kind and said, "Of course. As long as you can make meritorious service and atone for your sins, then we can not only not arrest you and put you to death, but also let you enjoy wealth! As long as you can honestly sue us about the indigenous tribes involved in the rebellion, then we will surely pardon you and your family! ”
And the native thief rolled his eyes, and then immediately said: "General Chen, you see that if I betray our tribe, then I am afraid that we will die without a place to bury!" So ......"
This native obviously wanted benefits, after all, he came here to report the news, not only to survive, but mainly to get benefits. If you can get additional benefits, then I am afraid that you will really be able to become a human being. In the past, he was just a steward of an aristocratic tribe, and although he managed a lot of wealth, none of this was his own. So this makes him ambitious, if he can get the help of the Chinese, then maybe he can get a lot of benefits, and even be able to become a tribal leader!
"Bastard, what are you thinking? How dare you talk to us about conditions? Immediately, a staff officer said angrily.
And the native was obviously a little scared, and he didn't know what to do, and his heart was like seventeen buckets—seven up and eight down. On the one hand, he wanted more benefits, but on the other hand, he was also worried about angering the high-ranking Taiwanese military officer in front of him. In case it angers him, then Chen Liyan directly orders him to be killed, and that one is really going to be unlucky. So this native is a little clever, but he is also forward-looking.
"Okay, what do you want?" Chen Liyan asked.
The native immediately said cautiously, "I want to be a tribal leader, a tribal leader of a few thousand people?" ”
And Chen Liyan immediately frowned, and snorted, obviously very dissatisfied.
And this indigenous person almost slapped himself in the face, because he remembered that the natives who escaped Taiwan's encirclement and suppression were only more than 1,000 people, and if he wanted to become a tribe of thousands of people instead, it would definitely not work. So his news is not worth so much, so his request is too high.
"No, no, no, I just want to be the leader of a few hundred tribes!" Native said.
Chen Liyan quickly replied, "Okay, I will allow you to select five hundred people from among our slaves at that time, and from then on they will be your tribesmen." Moreover, I can pardon your immediate family, and give you an additional fifty pardons, and then you can choose fifty people from among the natives who participated in the rebellion in addition to your immediate family to get our pardon, and then you can become the leader of a tribe. ”
When the native heard this, he also said, "Thank you, general, thank you!" ”
This native felt that he had made a lot of money this time, not only could he save his life, but he could also get a tribe, and from then on he could live a good life of stretching his hand for food and opening his mouth, and when the time came, hundreds of people would come to support him, which could be said to be developed. But he also knows that the reason why he can do this is because he relies on the rule of the Chinese. If he left the rule of the Chinese, he would have been slaughtered as a traitor. So he knew that he would definitely be a lackey of the Chinese in the future, so he immediately expressed his loyalty.
"General, I will definitely be loyal to you in the future, and I will definitely be loyal to you, I ......" the native said quickly.
"No, no, no, it's not me, it's loyal to Governor Wang, understand?" Chen Liyan said.
Of course, Chen Liyan didn't dare to say anything to make the natives loyal to him, what would he think if this word reached Wang Guorui's ears? Therefore, he immediately corrected the words of this native, otherwise he was afraid that he would be in a lot of trouble at that time.
"Well, I must be loyal to this Governor Wang! However, as long as General Chen is here for a day, I will resolutely obey your leadership, General Chen. Native said.
Chen Liyan nodded, this guy is really very good at things, so he still has cultivation value. And Taiwan needs this kind of person at present, so this guy still has some cultivation value.
"What's your name?" Chen Liyan asked.
"Back to General Chen's words, my name is Bass!" The Native Bass replied.
"Well, it won't be long before you're the leader of Bass!" Chen Liyan said.
"Thank you, General Chen, thank you, General Chen." Buzz said.
"No, you should thank Governor Wang before you come to thank me, understand? Your qiē was given by Governor Wang, and I am just here to carry out Governor Wang's policy in place of Governor Wang, do you understand? Chen Liyan said again.
"Understood, thank you Governor Wang, thank you General Chen!" Buzz said.
"I'll immediately transfer troops, and then you will lead the way to destroy all the tribes involved in the rebellion!" Chen Liyan said.
"Understood!" Bass replied.
And when Bas left, Chen Liyan's major adjutant staff officer immediately asked, "Commander Chen, why did you just let him go?" If I were to say, just arrest him and torture him, wouldn't that be a one-pronged solution? Why be so troublesome, and then so complicated, to give him five hundred slaves? I don't believe that under torture, he can still not confess? To deal with such people, it is enough to directly use torture, and there is no need to waste so many resources. ”
"You don't understand, they're the ones who lead the way!" Chen Liyan said this. (To be continued......)
