Chapter 176: The Emperor's Decree
Through the verdant foliage, wooden thatched huts stand in the open space a hundred meters away, simple wooden fences, half-naked guards with spears, women and children come and go, illustrating the prosperity and tranquility of this Bosnian tribe!
Suddenly, a group of soldiers in black uniforms, straddled armed belts, with towering boat-shaped caps, and flintlock pistols with bayonets on them, emerged from the woods. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
One, two, three......
More and more soldiers caused a commotion among the people on the outskirts of this tribal settlement, and the vigilant Bosnian warriors with weapons in front of these uninvited guests, women and children, who were barely clothed on their upper bodies, shouted in amazement and retreated into the tribe!
"Company Commander!" Mondora let out a breathless snort.
"Here!"
"You take your people from all around, blocking the back road of this settlement, I want you to ensure that there will not be a living person in your field of vision!"
"Yes! Sir! ”
After a few orders, more than a hundred Indian veterans lined up in two marching columns, jogging backwards with flintlock pistols!
Mondora drew his command knife, stood in front of him, took two steps forward, and shouted: "The soldiers of the second company obey the order, the battle formation, the horizontal phalanx!" ”
The soldier who had just come out of the bushes behind him, in the transmission of the order, quickly listed a reasonable queue, standing behind Mondora, after Mondola saw that the queue was neat, the command knife waved forward: "Forward!" ”
The march in unison, the strange beating of the marching drums, made the Bosnian warriors on the periphery retreat step by step in terror, and the men of Mondora soon oppressed these Bosnian natives and entered the fenced 'gate'!
After the men of Mondora entered, more and more Bosnians gathered with wooden clubs and a small number of iron weapons, and several Bosnian natives with strange crowns on their heads stepped forward!
"Stop!"
Seeing that the Bosnians had gathered, and that there were a few men of their own words, Mondola stepped forward to ask questions, stopped the soldiers, and took out a rolled-up piece of paper.
He preached to a group of Bosnian natives: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Empire, who is great and virtuous, brave and fearless, wise and benevolent, hereby declares that in the Hawaiian Islands, Oahu is the sacred and inviolable territory of the Han Empire, and all the natives on the island must unconditionally serve our Han Empire as the lord, lay down all their weapons, and obey the orders of the military governor sent by the Han Empire!"
Otherwise, you do it at your own risk! ”
The paper that Mondora took could not have been written by Zhao Dutian himself, so he didn't have the leisure time to write a handwritten order and read it to a group of uncivilized natives......
Zhao Dutian only issued an order to occupy one or several advantageous ports in the Hawaiian Islands and not to conflict with European countries, as for the document that Mondola carried with him, it was naturally an official draft issued by the General Staff in order to better manage the natives!
At the very least, let the conquered natives or the people of any other country know who the conqueror is!
This draft document is actually not very useful, it just illustrates the legitimacy of the military operations of the Han Expeditionary Fleet, well, the legitimacy in the Han Empire!
At the same time, it is also to let the low-level soldiers in the expeditionary fleet know that all their war actions are supported by the behemoth-like Han Empire!
So, boys, let it go!
For colonial activities, Zhao Dutian is quite open-handed!
Anyway, the expeditionary fleet of thousands of people cannot really conquer a huge empire, no matter how big the power is, it is just a pathfinder, the goal of the expeditionary fleet is not to slaughter the city and destroy the country, but to establish a stable supply point on the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and finally land in Japan and lay a bridgehead!
This is the task given by Zhao Dutian, if it can be completed, it will be a great achievement, the authority Zhao Dutian has been given, he is not interested in the process of the expeditionary fleet carrying out the task, only looks forward to the result!
Of course, in the face of difficulties, it is a matter of course to ask for help from the Han Empire, but when asking for help, the established situation will determine the future of Mondora and the two Han chiefs on the expeditionary fleet!
That's why Mondola works so hard!
The Han people have a promotion advantage within the Han Empire, but the Han Empire, which focuses on military merits, is the only channel for Mondora, who was born as an Indian, to enter the upper class!
Flax is an example of Mondora!
After preaching the manuscript with a small number of words, Mondola did not care about the confused eyes of the Bosnians, and the manuscript he read out in Chinese was mainly for the soldiers behind him!
Of course, if these Bosnian natives were interested in conquering the army without a fight, Mondola would not be disgusted!
At Mondora's signal, the Bosnian native guide, who was following beside her, translated in their own language, and then ......
There was a roar of rage!
"What do your elders say?" Mondora asked the Bosnian guide beside her.
He ...... They...... Refuse...... Rejection ......"
"Okay, I get it!" Mondora didn't wait for the Bosnian guide to finish, and replied directly, Mondola was not discussing with the Bosnians, but just giving them a choice - surrender or die!
Obviously, the Bosnians inherited all the defects of the natives who had not seen the greatness, and if they were not beaten, they would not know what backwardness was, and they would have to be beaten!
"Ready~Aim!"
Mondora stepped to the side of the infantry line, holding his command knife and commanding loudly.
The sound of flintlock pistols aiming and triggering on the shoulders of the flintlock pistol rang out!
It's not that the Bosnians on the other side have never seen muskets, and when they see this, why don't they understand what's going on?
The Bosnian elders with colorful crowns of heads hurriedly stepped back, and the brave men with weapons howled and launched a charge in the form of personal heroism!
"Fire!"
Bang bang bang......
A puff of white smoke rose, and the warriors and some unlucky people who had just started to charge suddenly became dying people lying on the ground and gasping for breath, or dead ghosts who were directly out of breath......
The sheer number of Bosnians suddenly became chaotic!
"The second team stepped forward, aim! Fire! ”
Bang bang bang......
The two rounds of salvo fired, and the Bosnians had already laid down hundreds of people, many of whom were not dead, but the miserable cries of those who did not die were even more vulnerable than the dead!
"The third team comes forward ......" (To be continued.) )
