748 [Evolution History of the Owner III]
"Boom, boom!"
Three cannons fired in unison, and shells flew out.
Whether it was the enemy natives or the natives on the Han side, they were all frightened and panicked by the sound of artillery.
The smoke from the artillery proved that the "thunder" came from there, and they subconsciously thought that it was a summoning thunderbolt.
One shell hit the most deflected, crossed the indigenous soldiers, and landed behind the slave auxiliaries, killing and wounding only two slaves. The other two shells landed in the pile of the indigenous soldiers, bouncing and rolling to harvest the calves of the aborigines.
"God...... Thor? Prince Haru stood on the spot, so shocked that he even forgot to run away.
The island of Madagascar is home to a variety of legends about the gods, many of which are misconceptions about foreign civilizations.
For example, the Antemoro tribe, who live on the southeast coast, already possessed paper-making skills, and the nobles were proficient in Arabic, divination, and astrology.
In the legend of the Antemoro people, messengers of the gods came from the sea and brought advanced knowledge and technology. Only the nobles of the tribe are qualified to learn the knowledge of God, and the commoners who steal it will be put to death!
If one day, the Han people suddenly leave by boat, it is estimated that a similar situation will occur for the natives of this village - the nobles have mastered Chinese and Chinese characters, began to worship Mazu, and it is popular to worship the church to marry, and have rice cultivation, aqueducts, wheelbarrows and ox farming techniques. And the mixed blood left by the Han people must be nobles for generations, claiming to be descendants of gods.
Just when Prince Haru was in a daze, there were already natives who fled in panic, and some natives knelt down to worship the gods on the spot.
"Blow the trumpet!"
"Doodoo Dot ~~~~~~"
Musketeers with bayonets, melee soldiers with waist knives and spears, and indigenous villagers with wooden spears pushed open the fence gates and rushed out.
A large number of indigenous enemy troops turned and fled, and more and more knelt down to worship God.
"Let's go!"
Prince Haru was dragged by his generals, and he was defeated and fled.
This scene is often played out between colonists and natives. Like when Spain came to the Americas, the Aztecs regarded the war horse as a sacred object, and they did not dare to attack at first, and they turned around and fled when they encountered cavalry.
Of course, after getting acquainted with each other, the battles have been fought a lot, and the natives can still overcome their fears.
At this moment, those slave soldiers were kneeling the most. They have been instilled with the concept of obedience since childhood, the nobles are all descendants of the gods, and as slaves, they must obey the will of the gods, and the Han people in front of them are obviously gods, much more authentic than the divinity of the nobles.
Prince Haru ran wildly, and on the slopes of the river valley, there were suddenly sporadic gunshots, and then forty Han soldiers rushed out.
The natives, who were already frightened birds, jumped into the river in fright. He didn't want weapons, he didn't care about the weight of food, and he swam frantically to the other side to escape for his life.
Prince Haru went ashore downstream, and in horror, he counted the number of soldiers, and there were only about a dozen soldiers left around him. One after another, more than 100 people came to converge and fled back to their capital in embarrassment. Due to the lack of supplies, the tribes could only be intimidated along the way, ordering them to provide food.
The whole battle was fought inexplicably, and it was inexplicable to win.
"Count the prisoners." Deng Youzhang couldn't cry or laugh.
There were more than 800 prisoners, and half of them surrendered on their knees, without any resistance at all.
In addition, a large number of copper spears and food were seized, and these natives came specifically to give supplies?
After interrogating a few captives, Li Luosheng found Deng Youzhang with a smile: "These natives think we are the god of thunder. Why don't we call it the Thunder God Ministry, declare it to the outside world, release some captives back, and let them help spread their reputation. As long as the prestige spreads, no tribe will dare to attack, and even some tribes will take the initiative to take refuge. ”
Deng Youzhang also interrogated him personally, nodded and said: "All the slave soldiers stayed, organized the households, and cultivated and produced." If there are those who have performed well, the women who have been captured before will be arranged for them to be wives. The rest of the indigenous soldiers were all released and let them help with the propaganda. ”
Li Luosheng was originally the owner of the incense on the ship, and his main duty was to worship Mazu, and he was too good at pretending to be a ghost.
He gathered the captives together, and the gods muttered, "We are the descendants of the god of thunder." The god of thunder dwells in the sky and can call to thunder and lightning. If Thor is angry, he will invite a hurricane to destroy everything. You have attacked the Protoss for no reason, and you have angered Thor. And they chose the ten leaders, and put them all to death. The rest, give you another chance. After you leave, you must spread the name of Thor so that you can gain Thor's forgiveness! ”
Ten of the captives who were captured in the resistance or escape were selected to be executed in order to establish power, and the rest of the captives were released on the spot.
Li Luosheng said to the slave soldiers again: "You have been chosen by the Thor God, you can stay and be the people of the Thor God!" ”
"Oh!"
The slave soldiers cheered and shouted, and the excitement came from the heart.
Deng Youzhang said: "This is too easy, if the foundation is not too shallow, I want to lead the troops to seize that city." ”
In fact, Madagascar was discovered by the Portuguese as early as 150 years ago. A few decades ago, Portugal, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom all tried to establish a trading post in Madagascar, but failed because of the harsh environment and indigenous revolts.
These Europeans wanted to establish a stronghold in the eastern part of the island as a springboard across the Indian Ocean.
But the eastern part of the island has a tropical rainforest climate, and the natives there are also extremely fierce, often ambushing colonists in the rainforest.
Deng Youzhang and their foothold is in the western part of the island, at the junction of the savannah climate and the tropical plateau climate, and the living environment is far better than that of the eastern tropical rainforest. Mosquitoes are more ferocious, and they need to be prepared for malaria, so they have to burn grass and smoke mosquitoes every day.
In the western part of the island, although the environment is relatively superior, Europeans do not value it very much. It is better for them to establish a stronghold in the west than directly in Mozambique.
In this war alone, the population of Han villages has reached nearly 1,000, not including children.
In the next six months, it was expanded along the river valley and burned the nearby land into farmland. Teach the natives how to remove stones, level the land, and compost the fields.
With food plentiful and taxes low, the natives quickly developed a sense of belonging.
Even the women who snatched it from the grassland are gradually getting used to the current life, and even feel that life is better than before.
The Han people also began to dry salt, digging several salt drying ponds on the north coast. Due to the blockage of the central plateau, the northwest coast has less rainfall, which is very suitable for drying sea salt.
And near the salt works, two small fishing villages were also found, where the natives made a living from fishing.
Through communication, a good relationship with the fishermen was quickly established.
Two small fishing villages, willing to be affiliated with the Han Chinese, regularly pay tribute for small catches. The Han Chinese provided protection for the fishermen by exchanging salt and grain for fresh fish caught by the fishermen, which were then salted locally into salted dried fish.
A southern tribe near the Han village, after learning of the prestige of the thunder god, frequently came to trade goods, and finally announced that the clan would take refuge.
The so-called kingdom here was originally a tribal alliance.
The Han people's "Thunder God Division" rose rapidly, and they did not have to pay too much tribute, did not need to provide their clansmen as slaves, and offered conditions that were far more tolerant than those of the Boyna Division. The natives are not stupid, it is more practical to know who to follow, if it were not for the distance, I am afraid that several tribes have already taken refuge in them.
The Aztec Empire in the Americas ended up like this.
The Aztec Empire was also a tribal confederation, with three major tribes controlling numerous smaller tribes. And bloody and brutal, the small tribe has long been resentful. The Spaniards won the battle, their fame spread rapidly, and they showed a little favor, so a large number of tribes took refuge.
One or two hundred Spaniards, with tens of thousands of tribal alliances, easily wiped out the Aztecs.
Of course, the Han people are a little different, Deng Youzhang and they are actually busy farming.
In addition to farming, he is still giving birth.
One after another, more than 90 mixed-race descendants of Han Chinese have been born. There are even a few who have two wives and have two children on the island. One of them, the eldest wife has twins, and the younger wife gives birth to a daughter, and gives birth to three children within half a year, and he brags about how awesome he is when he meets people.
The Han Chinese also improved health care, boiling water when delivering babies, and confinement for mothers. You can't drink raw water, you have to boil it before drinking.
In the blink of an eye, the Han people have been on the island for two years.
The population of the "Thor Ministry" (over 12 years old) officially broke through the 1,000 mark. The narrow strip of land along the river valley has been reclaimed one after another. Of course, it takes several years to take care of the newly cultivated land before it becomes more and more productive.
Three seaside fishermen's villages, one small tribe to the south, and two small tribes to the east, with a total of more than 3,000 people, all swore allegiance to the "Thunder God Ministry". Every year after the rainy season, they would send special products to pay tribute, and when they were attacked, the Han Chinese would send troops to help in the war, and by the way, they would take some prisoners and return to expand the population.
Just when everything was going well, the god king of the Boyna tribe personally led a large army to kill.
He is a god-king, and his tribe is a god, and no other god's race is allowed.
Because many tribes were afraid of the prestige of "Thor", it took more than half a year for this goods to force the various tribes to join forces through war and diplomacy.
Including slaves, 16,000 troops were dispatched this time, and all the manpower that could be mobilized was mobilized.
The southern tribe, which was loyal to the Han Chinese, bore the brunt of the attack. The tribe suffered a catastrophe, with more than half of the men killed, most of the rest enslaved, and only a few dozen fleeing to Han Chinese villages for help.
"Damn, it's not over yet!"
Deng Youzhang was so angry that he scolded his mother, he wanted to farm and develop with peace of mind, but those damn natives in the south always came to interfere with his plans.
He Wenpeng said: "Let's kill it." The Boyna Department occupies the most fertile land, and the conditions are much better than ours. Destroy this army and take the city. Then, two-thirds of the migration passed, leaving a third to develop here. ”
"Then it's gone!" Deng Youzhang said depressedly.
Neither of them took the indigenous coalition seriously, and the 16,000-strong army seemed terrifying, but many tribes were forced to send troops.
These tribes not only sent troops, but also got food. If you lose, it's your own, and if you win, there's no benefit, and the spoils of war are all taken away by two or three big tribes. When there is a real battle, they will observe the situation, and if it goes well, they will swarm it, and if they lose, they may choose to defect on the spot.
