Chapter XVIII Slaves

PS: The second update is here! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes! Thank you for the tips from the book friend _ Feng, Wan Jia Sanshao, and GNHK in the world!

The Buena tribe only has more than 8,000 people, and it is already their limit to send 2,000 strong people to attack Wujia Village. But now, not only did they not break through Wujia Village, but they suffered heavy losses, which can be described as stealing chickens and not losing a handful of rice. By the time the battle had been fought, the Buena tribe had lost thousands of men. Such a loss is already a pain in the bones for their tribe!

After receiving the order to retreat, the natives began to flee in a hurry. They had been frightened by the Chinese who had come from the sea. In the eyes of these natives, the Chinese were like livestock that they kept in captivity, which could be slaughtered at any time. But now, the strong combat power shown by these Chinese has shocked them greatly.

"Humph! These damn natives, do you want to run? Take the squad as a unit and hunt down these natives! Niu Meng gave the order to pursue. Now is a good opportunity to beat up the reservoir dogs, but you can't let it go.

In the integration of the armed forces of Flying Fish Island, according to Long Yufei's plan, the hardcover men of Flying Fish Island were reorganized into two companies. 12 people are in a squad, led by a squad leader and deputy squad leader. The three squads are a platoon, plus the platoon leader, deputy platoon commander and two correspondents, with a total of 40 people in each platoon. The three platoons are a company, and there are more than 140 people in the company. Flying Fish Island now has a total of two companies, with a total strength of less than three hundred people! However, it was the troops of these two companies, using muskets and relying on favorable terrain, that caused the natives who attacked Wujia Village to suffer heavy losses, and even collapsed after the worst incident!

The pirates of Flying Fish Island, according to Niu Meng's orders, launched a pursuit of the natives. At this time, they already had no time to continue reloading. So, the pirates put down their rifles, picked up weapons such as steel knives and spears, and continued to kill! Compared with these natives of the South Seas, the pirates are much taller, and their strength and force are many of these natives can compare. In addition, they have been begging for a living at sea all year round, and they have been able to survive until now, which one has not gone through many battles.

Although the pirates have put down their rifles, the combat power they have shown is still something that many natives can deal with! The pirates hurried to catch up with the fleeing natives, their steel knives slashing as if they were chopping vegetables and melons. There is no one among the natives who is a match for these pirates.

The patriarch of the Buena tribe, Enardo, had seen the fierce Chinese abandon their muskets and fight with steel knives and spears, and he thought he would have a chance. But when he saw that those vicious Chinese easily killed his men, he was immediately frightened! What happened today was really hard for him to believe. Shouldn't the Chinese be weak and cowardly, and can be bullied at will? When did you become so tough? Is this still Chinese?

Those Chinese who carried steel knives became synonymous with demons in the eyes of the natives. They were all out of the way, and they didn't have the arrogance they had when they attacked Wujia Village before. Under the fierce attack of the pirates, these natives had no courage to resist. Especially after the undoing warrior Najay was easily split in half by a pirate, these natives had to flee quickly. They only hate that their father and mother gave them a pair of legs, otherwise, they would have been able to run away faster!

Some of the natives who had been caught up, seeing that they could not escape, simply threw away their weapons and surrendered to the pirates on their knees. The pirates did not continue to kill the natives who surrendered, but continued to chase the fleeing natives.

The Chinese people in Wujia Village were already stunned by everything in front of them. The ferocious natives were easily defeated by these Chinese from the sea, which made them unbelievable. It's just that the truth is so, and they have to believe it. The Chinese in Wujia Village cheered when they saw the defeat of the natives. They've almost all been killed by the natives!

"Brothers, follow me, kill those natives and avenge the dead brothers!" Wu Da Niu shouted loudly and took the lead in rushing out of the city with a spear. The remaining sturdy men in Wujia Village also followed.

The hunt continued until the natives fled back into the forest, but not many of them managed to escape, only two or three hundred. Most of the remaining natives were killed, and a few became captives. The patriarch of the Buena tribe, Enardo, was thin but not weak in his ability to escape, and slipped into the forest before the pirates could catch up with him. The forest is full of threats, and pirates who are not familiar with the terrain are no match for the natives in the forest. So, when they reached the edge of the forest, the pirates stopped their pursuit and began to clean up the battlefield! The weapons left behind by the natives are not looked down upon by the pirates. But those natives who surrendered are still very useful!

Long before going to Mindanao, Long Yufei told the pirates that they don't need to treat the indigenous people on the island as people, just treat them as animals! Although these natives are extremely vicious, they should all be killed. However, the number of Chinese is too small, and if you want to develop industry and at the same time maintain a strong military, you will have to undermanpower. In such a situation, it is very necessary to supplement the labor force with these indigenous people! Of course, these natives will not be recognized, they are nothing more than slaves! Just like those black slaves in the Americas! The Chinese can use these slaves to farm, build roads, build fortifications, have mined, etc., anyway, whatever work is dangerous, let these natives do it, in this way, it can effectively save the manpower of the Chinese, and can put more Chinese into military development! The indigenous people of Mindanao, together with the Moro people of the Maguindanao Sultanate and the Buayan Sultanate, numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Although the living conditions in Mindanao are harsh, the reproduction ability of these natives is very strong, which has to be admired, which also provides sufficient labor for Long Yufei's plan!

The so-called success of a thousand bones, Long Yufei wants to establish a powerful force in this troubled era to change the fate of the nation, and the necessary sacrifice is inevitable! Of course, it would be best if we could reduce the scarcity of compatriots as much as possible and let foreigners and natives replace them!

The pirates had already recognized Long Yufei's leadership, so they also attached great importance to Long Yufei's orders. They started tying up the surrenderers, and these were good slave candidates!

The natives were also very cooperative, and the strong combat power of the pirates gave them a great shock. As prisoners of war, they had already accepted their fate, but the pirates did not kill them directly, which made the natives very happy. You must know that in the battle between the indigenous tribes, the fate of the prisoners of war is very tragic, and many people will be killed directly!

"Ahh Suddenly, at this time, a scream came from the beach. The natives who surrendered also stirred!

"Get on your knees! Kneel down for Lao Tzu! The ox screamed and slashed off the head of a native. Although the natives couldn't understand Niu Meng's words, they were also shocked by his momentum, and they knelt on the ground one after another, trembling, and didn't dare to make any more moves!

"What's going on?" Niu Meng shook the natives and began to ask.

"Boss, it was this kid who killed a surrendered native!" One of the pirates said to Niu Meng.

I saw that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Chinese boy was still holding a spear in his hand, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the spear. The young man looked a little frightened when he saw Niu Meng looking at him, but his face was full of stubbornness!

"These natives killed my father! I want to avenge my father! The young man looked at Niu Meng and said.

"Hey! Boy, you have the ability to kill those natives yourself! Now these natives have surrendered and have become our trophies! When you kill an native, you are violating our interests! Niu Meng said with a smile.

"This strong man, he is still young and ignorant, you can forgive him this time!" Wu Da Niu rushed over, and just heard Niu Meng's words, and hurriedly apologized!

"That's it! Forget it this time, don't take it as an example! Niu Meng waved his hand indifferently. An indigenous, he didn't pay attention to it!

"Xie Lu, Xie Zhuangshi!" Wu Daniu hurriedly said. This time, fortunately, these compatriots suddenly appeared, otherwise, their Wujia Village would be miserable!

After the battle, the 'Flying Fish' battleship also docked, and Luo Sangu, Long Yufei and others also got off the ship.

"Yufei, how is this place? Can we make our home here? Luo Sangu asked.

Long Yufei looked around, he was sure that the river in the distance was the Agusang River, and then there were iron mines and coal mines on the mountains to the west and east. This plain, between iron and coal mines, has fertile soil, but it is a very good place.

"Good location!" Long Yufei said.

At this time, the old village chief of Wujia Village had already brought several clansmen to the dock.

"Old Wu Yongxing, on behalf of the old and young of Wujia Village, thank you for your life-saving grace!" Wu Yongxing, the old village chief, bowed to Long Yufei and the others as he spoke. Judging from the situation of the pirates on the dock surrounding Luo Sangu and Long Yufei, he had already recognized who was the leader of this group of tough compatriots!

"Old man, it doesn't have to be like this, we're just at the right time! Don't deserve such a big gift! Long Yufei was startled and hurriedly supported Wu Yongxing. An old man knelt down and saluted him, and he couldn't stand it!

"I don't know where Gong Dao Engong came from? Is there anything going on in Mindanao? If there is anything you need our service for, please feel free to ask, we will do our best in Wujia Village! Wu Yongxing hurriedly said. Judging from his many years of experience, he can see that these compatriots obviously come from an extraordinary background!
