The 636th battle began
From the pronunciation of the natives, it is Ohu that is heard, and it means that either the island is called Ohu, or the enemy who is coming is called Ohu. After more than 300 marines lined up, the warships at sea anchored Yang Fan and circled the island on the other side. By this time, the natives of the village had already moved, and the women and children were running up the hill in the island, and the rest were a hundred or so warriors, with rudimentary spears in their hands, no other weapons, and no shoes on their feet. These people looked at the marines, of course, they were very curious, and at the same time they were also very anxious, but they could imagine how many people came over there.
According to Hu Yingqiang's observation, there are more than 1,000 people, all of whom are in small boats, rowing very hard. In his opinion, this bit of indigenous power is vulnerable. Let Xiao Xia entangle those natives, the marines began to set off, and when they arrived at the landing site, there were already a few boats on the opposite side docking, and the natives standing in the sea water did not wear shirts, and they were casually tied around their waists with clothes made of leaves or what, and they were all spears and other weapons in their hands, and there were very few iron products.
Looking at the soldiers with relaxed expressions, Hu Yingqiang shouted: "Prepare for battle, don't forget the thirty-one articles of the jì regulations, you must be meticulous when fighting, any negligence is enough to kill!" With a shout, the Marines suddenly changed color and immediately began to reload! Queue up, natives waiting to land.
There were about a hundred natives who came ashore first, stepping barefoot on the sand, looking like nimble monkeys. When they found the soldiers in line, they were not nervous, but just watched curiously from afar. Makes a whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, as if threatening. It was not easy to carry ammunition, so Hu Yingqiang never gave the order to fire, just waiting for their further reaction.
Unexpectedly, after shouting for a while, I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting. Look back. It was the natives here who came, a hundred or so people, holding spears and shouting at each other, as if shouting to each other. The natives on the opposite side raised their spears, and the natives behind them also stepped forward with their spears. Seeing this, Hu Yingqiang immediately shouted to Xiao Xia: "Stop them!" ”
After speaking, he raised his war knife and slashed at the natives who were slowly approaching from a hundred meters away: "Fire!" ”
Bang bang bang! The rifle made an alarming noise, and the natives who were advancing. At first, he was stunned, then he fell to the ground, trembling as he looked at the Marines who were firing. The natives on the opposite side were miserable, there was no protection at this distance, and they were still slowly approaching there, no different from hitting a target. However, after two rounds of guns, only one person was still standing in place stupidly.
More than a hundred people lay on the ground, and a thick smell of blood wafted in the air. The last remaining native, suddenly fell to his knees. With his hands folded towards the sky, he didn't know what he was talking about. The sharpshooter stepped forward and was about to order him, but Hu Yingqiang raised his hand to stop him, quietly looking at the boats that were swarming on the sea.
It is clear that more and more indigenous people are coming ashore. Behind him was a group of natives kneeling and shivering, and in front of him was a group of natives who hesitated. It's only been less than ten minutes, and the people on the opposite side are the most elite fighters, and they don't have a single hair, and there is only one left. No matter how awesome the tribal leader. It's going to be silly, too.
Look at their hesitation, Hu Yingqiang is not in a hurry, at this time, the battleship with full sails has appeared on the sea, and it is slowly approaching, the nearby sea water is not deep, and he really doesn't dare to get too close. But a distance of a thousand meters was enough for them to fire and teach those small boats how to ship.
Seeing the signal flare on the ship, Hu Yingqiang immediately ordered to retreat 500 meters, and the natives lying on the ground didn't understand what it meant, so they were kicked and driven back for a while before stopping. The natives on the coast are strange, but they don't understand what it means. At this time, the natives pointed to the sea and shouted. When I looked back, they were all stunned, and three huge ships on the sea were facing the shore with cannons. Then I heard the rumbling thunder, and when the natives on the ground knelt on the ground again, the black cannonballs fell, and the rain fell on the sea, and the small boats struggled in the water column set off by the cannonballs, as if in the stormy waves.
There was a kneel on the ground, and the natives at the head seemed to pray, and the natives around him followed suit. The sound of the cannon stopped, and the sea was full of floating debris, and the natives around them, whether they were on the beach, they all threw their weapons aside, knelt on the ground and prayed to the people who looked like wizards on both sides.
Hu Yingqiang, who was stunned, waited for a long time to find that the natives who ran to the mountains did not run anymore, they all came out and knelt on the ground, and a young girl shyly put the garland in her hand on his head, and then knelt to the side. Hu Yingqiang didn't know that he was already the king here, and all the natives at the scene knelt at his feet.
Li Xingguo's life is very bleak, mainly because this place is really backward, there is no toilet in the toilet, so he can only pinch his nose and go to the thatched pit. There are many mosquitoes and flies that can't be killed, in fact, this place is similar to Xinghai City, but the Dutch go there a little earlier, and there are some living facilities. Here, it is not good to rob the houses built by the Portuguese, so you can only live in tents first. Then I went to find the natives to build the houses, and they were all Nima wooden houses.
Let's make do with it first, I don't have much idea right now. The worst of them were the sappers, who took the form of builders and unloaded the wooden houses they had brought from the ship, and it took a week to build the required wooden houses. Fortunately, there were many people, and the work was fast, and the tools that were lacking were unloaded from the merchant ships. There is no cement here, and it will definitely not be rowed from Xinghai City to here, so it will have to be done first.
In any case, the buildings here are planned, and the wooden houses correspond to the open road, and the barbed wire fence is drawn around them, and this is the camp. The key is that the things here are too unpalatable, and the locals cook with a lot of curry, and they almost didn't vomit Li Xingguo, so it is better to come back and continue to nibble on biscuits.
As the days passed, two months later, another fleet arrived in Mumbai, bringing even more supplies. At this time, the terminal has completed the first phase of expansion, and the boom has been almost installed, so it is much more convenient to load and unload materials. The ship was accompanied by more than 1,000 European soldiers, all of whom lived in prefabricated houses. The Portuguese huddled in the castle all day, and at first they were scared to death, for fear that the opposite side would find fault with them and destroy them, so that they could monopolize the place. I didn't expect that in two months, people were busy with their own can't be busy, this time it's different, the dock began to have European ships docking, and there were daring fleets to come from Daming to trade the freight here. The docks soon flourished, and the public areas began to be bustling with trade.
The Portuguese came out, the Dutch came, the English came, the Spaniards came, all trading in the public area. A lot of goods are still on the ship, and they have already been sold, and it is a matter of moving from this ship to another ship. The merchants from the Ming Dynasty have made a lot of money, and they have returned with various local products, and the next time they come is estimated to be a year later.
The prosperity of the wharf has brought a lot of benefits to Li Xingguo, but it is difficult to recruit people to do things. Later, I found out that in fact, the money was useless, and it was the temptation of biscuits and canned food. I feel that the people here are very lazy, and they don't work hard at all.
Later, a lot of biscuits and canned food were brought in to be used as wages, and the situation changed, and the locals were willing to bring stones from outside in exchange for the food. I can't help but say that I have seen the hell, this kind of ration, which was unpalatable in the eyes of the Xing Navy soldiers, has actually become hard currency among the locals. The number of merchants who crossed the sea from India gradually increased, exchanging ivory, precious stones, etc., for silk, porcelain and other items brought by Ming merchants.
They were defenseless against these soldiers who came from afar, as if they felt that these people were here to do business. Half a year passed quickly, and the soldiers on the Bombay side had reached about 10,000, and Li Xingguo organized these soldiers into an infantry division, the first brigade and the second brigade, in terms of equipment alone, it was not as good as the regular army in Xinghai City, but it was not too bad, each brigade had an artillery battalion, equipped with 24 six-pounder guns and 12 12-pounder guns.
Patiently waited for ten months to pass, and Li Xingguo finally waited for the end. On this day, the sea was full of sails, and a total of nearly 200 ships came, which frightened the colonists of various countries, hid in their respective fortresses, and watched in a daze as the Ming army began to board the ships, and then crossed the short sea and landed on a certain beach.
Li Xingguo, who had been holding back for almost a year, personally led an infantry brigade to the shore first, and after finding a place on the shore to establish a bridgehead, he did not see the army of the Mughal Empire coming. On the third day after the landing, the vanguard had advanced about fifty kilometers before they encountered a group of Indian soldiers, less than 500 men, against a company of vanguard infantry, which was scattered with a single volley of guns. The landing Xinghai Navy was undoubtedly not a tourist, and the villages along the way were sacked by different trips.
Along the coastline, a huge landing ground, every day ships docked, a simple dock was repaired, a large amount of supplies were transported ashore, and more than 23,000 soldiers also completed the landing, Chen Xie got off the flagship, took the joy of two female ninjas, and landed on the land where he had been drooling. How rich the country is, the British Empire has sued the world.
The next thing is, of course, to conquer this land. Chen Xie doesn't need to conquer everyone, as long as he conquers the imperial government here. Therefore, I am not in a hurry to advance in depth, but I am only active about 50 kilometers along the coast, catching locals to do all kinds of work, building docks, roads, and strongholds. If you don't work hard, you naturally have to clean them up. It didn't take long for Xingjun to successfully pull all the hatred on him.
