Zeng Ba's lunch was still not eaten after all, so he could only gnaw on dry food, looking at the Pabraben village built on the slope of Haifeng Mountain, and thinking about how to attack.

Pabraben Village is quite large, usually living in thousands of people, but it is a bit overcrowded at this time.

The Song army was devastated all the way, and the Pabra people fled all the way, and about 2,000 people fled to the village one after another, plus six or seven hundred reinforcements from the Dukas and Bazehai tribes, and there were no less than 4,000 people in the village.

The total number of people was more than the Song army down the slope, but all the natives did not have the confidence to hold the village, and their leader, Ma Huo, could not suppress the idea of fleeing as long as he saw the banner of the Song army.

But where else can they flee to at this time?

Ma Huo's heart was full of remorse and pain, and he kept praying to the ancestral spirit mountain god and the sea god to give himself and his people a clear path no matter what god he was.

At this time, some clansmen came to report that more than a dozen Song people approached the gate of the village and asked to enter the village for negotiation.

Ma Huo was stunned for a while after hearing this, and finally gritted his teeth, and decided to let the Song people in first to see what the Song people had to say.

The door of the village opened, and Fu Yixin, who was wearing a new official uniform, walked with his empty hands, paced in square steps, and calmly stepped into the village, as if he had not seen the dozens of earthen bows and countless iron knives and javelins in the village.

He was followed by only one scribe, as well as the father and son, who were fortunate to have no weapons on them.

The scribe's expression was indifferent, fortunately his face was a little nervous and timid, while Wan Sheng was high-spirited and excited.

There was hatred, fear, pretense of fierceness, and hesitation in the eyes of the natives, and they looked at the group of four people very complicatedly.

Perhaps in an attempt to show strength to deter the Song people, the Turen used a human wall to create a passage, but unfortunately they did not know how to use weapons to stagger into a porch-like shape to be more intimidating.

In people's impressions, literature and weakness are basically linked, but some literati are really bold, and it is not uncommon in history to enter the enemy camp alone.

Fu Yixin happens to be such a person, so no matter how the natives put up a fight, it is difficult to scare him.

As if walking in his own backyard, Fu Yixin walked to a big house without hurrying.

This house is very distinctive, it is to flatten the hillside into the foundation, and then back to the mountain, with wood as beams, woven bamboo as three walls, the shape is like an upside-down dustpan, which can probably be called a 'half-hole kiln house'.

Ma Huo stood in front of the house, trying to hold his head high and make a proud appearance, and behind him stood a dozen of the most powerful warriors, several of whom looked dressed as people from the Dukas and Bazehai clans.

No matter how Ma Huo behaved, Fu Yixin could see through his weakness at a glance, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his palms were spread out, "Could it be that your custom is to receive guests in the open air?" Or maybe the chief doesn't treat us as guests?! ”

Wan Sheng's Chinese is much better than that of his father, Wan Xing, so he undertook the task of interpreting, and the languages of Babuza and Pabla, as well as the Bazehai, Dukas, and Hongya tribes, are differentiated from the same source, and they are very similar to each other, and communication is not a problem.

Ma Huo pondered for a while, and figured out that the Song man in front of him should be testing his own attitude, if he didn't treat him as a guest, then he would naturally be an enemy, and they could only continue to fight each other.

But if you continue to fight, I'm afraid that your own family will be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Ma Huo didn't dare to pretend anymore, squeezed out a smile, and invited Fu Yixin and others into the house.

The chief's house was not only taller and more spacious, but also much cleaner, with a fire pit surrounded by wooden piers and stones to sit in, and the clan management held meetings here about the usual day.

Ma Huo asked people to put a few layers of deerskin on the wooden pier stones, and then there was no politeness, eight or nine people sat down around the fire pit, and then there were young natives who sent local wine, wild fruits, barbecue, etc., and Fu Yixin was indeed entertained as a distinguished guest.

Fu Yixin was not interested in the food of the natives, so he only picked up the somewhat fine pottery bowl, dipped his lips slightly in the local brew, and then got straight to the point.

"We have always upheld the importance of peace and do not like to use force, but your repeated provocations are also intolerable to us, so the leader should be very clear that today's military confrontation between the two sides is actually provoked by you, I can tell you that we either do not move, or completely solve the problem, so, now in front of the leader, there are only two ways, one is to continue to resist stubbornly and then the whole clan is destroyed, and the other is to surrender unconditionally and surrender to the government!"

It's hard for Wansheng to translate such a long sentence.

Ma Huo was somewhat mentally prepared, so after listening to it, he was not too excited, but he was a little depressed, and then he discussed it with several other people around him, and then it gradually turned into a dispute.

Maybe it's because the Turen are still relatively simple and simple, and they don't realize that secrets will be revealed between words.

Wan Sheng relayed the valuable information to Fu Yixin, "County Zun, the Dukas tribe has no opinion on the choice of the Pabra tribe, as long as the Pabra tribe pays the reward for this aid as agreed, but the Bazehai tribe is opposed to surrendering, saying that it will pose a threat to their territory...... He also said that if he held out for a few more days, he would be able to lift the danger by waiting for the united tribes in the south to do something......"

Southern Tribal United?!

Fu Yixin was shocked in his heart, but he just calmed down and kept quiet, asking Wan Sheng to pay more attention.

In fact, the territory of the Dukas and Bazehai tribes is much larger than that of the Pabula people, and the population is much larger, but they are all scattered into small tribes of one or two hundred people, and there is no unified leadership, so they cannot form a large joint force, so they will later integrate into the potbelly kingdom dominated by the Pabra people. 33

The Bazehai people live on the east side of the Datushan Plateau, where there is the largest basin on the island, which was later called the Taichung Basin, which is a treasure land with abundant resources, but in order to reduce contact with the Taya people who like to hunt heads, most of the tribe choose to operate in the western part of the basin.

Because they mainly live by hunting, and they have to fight against the invasion of the Taya tribe all year round, the Bazehai people are more fierce and warlike.

Again, they have a very small proportion of farming, and they don't think that it will be beneficial to their family after joining the Song people, and they only want to maintain their original living conditions, so they oppose it.

Originally, Fu Yixin wanted to take this opportunity to deal with both the Dukas and Bazehai tribes, but now it seems that his family will face a great crisis, so he has to give up this idea for the time being, and settle Pabra first.

Ma Huo argued with the representatives of the Bazehai tribe for a while, and then unified his opinion with several other members of the tribe, expressing his willingness to surrender.

Wan Sheng translated Ma Huo's words, "Venerable envoy, we are willing to admit defeat, and then pay most of the products of the clan, including fish, salt, cloth, deer, millet and other grains, as compensation, and never violate the border in the future, I hope that the envoy will be satisfied." ”

Oh, Fu Yixin can only be satisfied with the ghost.

Eight of the nine village societies of the Pabra tribe are already under the control of the Song army, and Ma Huo is equivalent to taking the spoils of the Song people to compensate, how can there be such a good thing, not to mention that in addition to food, Fu Yixin also looks down on the things of the natives.

Coupled with the crisis in his heart, Fu Yixin didn't bother to talk to Ma Huo, "The so-called surrender means that from now on, your tribe will be like the Babuza tribe, the land will be under the jurisdiction of the government, and the clansmen will accept naturalization, and in order to ensure that there is no recurrence, the leader will connect all the immediate family members, as well as three hundred strong men, plus five hundred boys and girls, and move to Lucheng for a temporary residence...... The chief does not need to worry about anything else, the government will definitely treat the people after the relocation, after all, what we need is to naturalize the entire island...... As long as the Pabra people remain obedient, the leader is likely to get the title and official position bestowed by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, which is the real wealth and beauty......"

Ma Huo's face was blue and red for a while, and he struggled in his heart.

He realized that if he accepted the conditions of the Song people, he would lose his right to rule over his people in the future, and perhaps he might even be under the watchful eye of the Song people all the time.

But if you don't accept it, and don't say whether your stockade can resist the attack of the Song army, even if there are more than 3,000 clansmen captured by the Song army now, can you care if they live or die?

As for the expropriation of 300 strong men and 500 boys and girls, it is acceptable, and there is still enough labor force in the clan to make ends meet......

When Ma Huo hesitated, Fu Yixin added, "Those of you who were injured in the battle can be sent to Lucheng for treatment, and our doctors can save the lives of most of them, and most of them will recover as usual." ”

The casualties of the Pabra were mainly caused in the offensive and defensive battles of the first stockade, and there were more than 300 dead or seriously wounded, and more than 100 were added later, and 6 or 700 were lightly wounded.

With the natives' own near-witchcraft medical treatment, more than half of them were either dead or maimed.

So Ma Huo could only accept it reluctantly and agreed to all the conditions proposed by Fu Yixin.

Fu Yixin then said to the representatives of the Dukas and Bazehai tribes, "Originally, you also participated in the action of raising troops against the government, and it stands to reason that you should also be punished, but if you commit a crime for the first time, I will spare you once...... The army we are using today is already a powerful force that you cannot resist, but I tell you, there are thousands of troops of this size in the entire Great Song Dynasty...... The so-called general trend of the world is mighty, and those who follow the prosperity and those who rebel die, you should think about it after you go back, and talk to the clansmen about how to choose in the future...... If you have any doubts in your heart, then you might as well wait and see, and don't act rashly, otherwise you will not be far from the disaster of extermination......"

After a series of bluffs and intimidations, just to make these two tribes a little more honest and not to participate in the next joint operation.

Representative Dukas didn't say anything, just nodded silently, Representative Ba Zehai seemed to have a lot of resentment, but the strength shown by the Song army also made him deeply jealous, so he didn't say anything, just left the house with a snort and gathered the warriors of his clan to withdraw.

After the reinforcements of the two clans left, more than 30 members of the direct family of the Ganmashi family, plus more than 60 of the bravest young men, followed Fu Yixin to leave the village and go to the Song army.

As for the shortage, it is better to choose from among the captives, and all the other food that can be seen must be brought back.

It has to be said that if they could not occupy the land that could be used for farming, the vast majority of the Han people would lose money when they fought against the barbarians, because they would not be able to obtain any valuable loot at all.

After returning to the Song army, Fu Yixin couldn't wait to start asking Ma Huo about the tribal union.

Ma Huo naturally knew everything at this time, but communication was more time-consuming, and he didn't know much.

However, according to the information he obtained, Fu Yixin thought of the attack on the port by the pirates some time ago, and immediately realized that this was probably a shocking conspiracy led by the Han Chinese.

So after he and Zeng Ba combined, they decided to immediately lead a thousand troops to rush back, regardless of the fact that it was already dark.

When I was halfway there, I met an urgent report sent by Lin Yingjia.

It is said that in the afternoon, there were a large number of attacks on the eastern and southern borders of Luding County, and many Babuza people who were hunting in the forests and working in the fields were brutally killed, and one of them had a hunting party of more than 20 people completely lost contact, and it should have been completely wiped out.

Because there were only thirty or forty soldiers left behind in most of the small villages, the situation was very critical.

As far as is known, six small villages have been breached, and most of the evacuated sergeants have encountered ambushes on the road, and only a few have escaped.

At the same time, the four small tribes belonging to Luren Village were also all captured, and the specific situation is unknown.

And there was an unknown fleet off the coast of Lukang, probably because it was too late, so no further action was taken.

At present, Lin Yingjia has tried his best to send troops to try to pick up the soldiers of other small villages, and transfer the population of each village to Lukang Town, hoping to rely on the high walls of Lukang Town for defense.

Some people died, but not completely......
