Holy Hill.

When the battle was over, the black clouds suddenly gathered, and the heavy rain fell, and Li Zhaoji's troops gathered in time chose to climb the holy hill after the rain had subsided.

The raindrops hit Li Zhaoji's clothes, making a dull popping sound, and the poncho made of deerskin blocked most of the rain, but it couldn't stop the slight coolness after the rain.

"Is this where Ikuban was frustrated?" Li Zhaoji stood in front of the stone wall of the Holy Hill, pointed to the land contaminated by blood and internal organs, and asked.

The ground was brown, and even the rain just now hadn't washed away the killings.

Zhao Dahe stepped forward, opened the firewood door of the fortification, revealing a Franc machine gun, and he said: "Yes, it was here that we defeated the enemy's all-out attack with a salvo, and the last wave was defeated by these two small cannons, and the shotguns flew and the people were harvested in pieces. ”

Zhao Dahe kept telling about the battles of the past few days, from the full-scale siege that day, to the feint attack on the second day and the night attack in the early morning of the third day.

The blood stains on the stone walls, the marks of chopping on the wood door, and the broken arrows and half of the fire ropes left on the battlefield are the best footnotes to the fierce battle.

"Chechitan is a good warrior and plays a great role in hand-to-hand combat, and if it weren't for them that night, perhaps the enemy's night attack would have caused more casualties." Zhao Dahe told about the martial arts of his comrades.

Li Zhaoji beckoned Matsushita Fuming to come over, and after asking, he knew that two of his men had died and one was seriously injured, and it was estimated that he would not survive.

"For the dead and wounded, I will pay for them according to the rules of the trading company, and there will be no difference. Panasonic, if you want to report meritorious people after the war, I will also give corresponding rewards, and the greater the merit, the more rewards. Li Zhaoji said to Tomaki Matsushita.

Matsushita Fuming said: "Big shopkeeper, I think the biggest credit is not Chezhi Dan, but Tang Mu, this young man played an important role in this defensive battle."

He was the youngest, but the bravest, because he was fearless, so the others older than him were not afraid, and that night attack, he was the first to warn, buying time for Chezhidan to assemble, and at the most dangerous time, it was he who threw a grenade into the door, killing the enemy who wanted to enter. ”

"Yes, I remember him, it was he who brought the last batch of supplies, this kid is very bold." Lee still remembers the messenger.

"Big shopkeeper, big shopkeeper, good news." Liu Shun ran with a smile, kept shouting, and fell on the muddy road, but he still looked happy.

Li Zhaoji said: "What good news, did you catch Kalaw? ”

"It's not Kalaw, but it's about the same, it's Mu Luo, Sizhi arrested Mu Luo." Liu Shun said with a smile.

In Li Zhaoji's head, Mu Luo is the most frequent name among Atayal people like Kalaw, he is almost a copy of Kalaw, the same cruel and ruthless, and almost became the commander of the Great Expedition, because his father was the commander of the previous generation, but he did not fight Kalou who was supported by the Great Wizard.

At this time, Tang Mu and Li Sizhi dragged Mu Luo up, Li Zhaoji glanced at this student, tested that he couldn't speak Chinese, and asked people to escort him down.

"Sizhi, I didn't expect you to have such courage to capture the leader of the Atayal people." Lee Siu Kee said.

"It was Tang Mu who caught it." Li Sizhi said honestly, although he now said that he could get at least half of the credit for what he caught, except for Tang Mu, no one falsified it, but he still chose to tell the truth.

Tang Mu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "The two of us caught it together." ”

Li Sizhi insisted: "Actually, it was mainly Tang Mu who caught it. ”

Li Zhaoji's face was full of distress, but it was a happy distress, and he joked: "You two don't quarrel, I haven't had such a headache with you two." ”

The two of them shut up, and Li Zhaoji said to Zhao Dahe: "Dahe, Tang Mu is very good, he can't just be an excellent soldier, he should learn to take charge of one side, like you, do what others can't do." So leave this headache guy to me, and I'll clean up with him. ”

Zhao Dahe had already meant this, and after listening to Li Zhaoji's words, he couldn't help but give Tang Mu a butt: "Don't kneel down and thank you, the big shopkeeper will promote you." ”

At night, in the wooden house of the Big Chicken Coop Society.

Li Zhaoji personally poured a glass of wine, handed it to Tang Mu and said, "Go, bring it to your brother-in-law and let him taste it." ”

Zhao Dahe hurriedly got up and took the wine, drank it all in one gulp, smacked his mouth and said, "Big shopkeeper, this wine has a strange taste, what kind of wine is it, I have never drunk it." ”

Lee said: "The name of this wine is Sprite. ”

"Sprite, I've never heard of it." The generals looked at each other and shook their heads.

"You'll be able to drink it in the future, and this is our own trading company's own sake." Lee Siu Kee said.

When everyone heard the news, they were stunned at first, and then cheered directly, and the warm atmosphere was eager to tear over the roof.

In fact, Sprite is not a real Sprite, but a real wine, but it is just Sprite-flavored, Li Zhaoji let people use sucrose and pine needles to ferment together, and the wine brewed has a Sprite flavor.

Sprite naturally does not make everyone happy to this extent, everyone is happy because the trading company can finally make its own wine, which is of great significance to the Oriental trading company.

When the trading company occupied Tamsui City and began construction, Lee Zhaoji once asked Liu Shun to ask the members of the trading company what their wishes were.

In fact, Lee Siu-kee mainly wanted to know whether the brothers wanted to build a house that could shelter from the wind and rain first, or a canteen where they could eat freely, but the result was that when someone asked whether they could build a sake brewery first, it resonated with everyone.

Then building a brewery is the main wish of everyone.

Li Zhaoji was shocked at first, but gradually understood, after all, most of them were sailors, or engaged in work related to maritime trade, making a living at sea, nothing else, but wine must not be lacking, Li Zhaoji even remembered that when he controlled the Vostok, the British sailors on the ship first protected not money and cannons, but hugged the rum and wine dispenser.

Therefore, the trading company can grow grain without cultivating wasteland, and it can not build houses and houses, but it cannot but make wine, and now that it has succeeded, everyone will naturally rejoice.

After winning the battle and having home-brewed wine, everyone at the celebration banquet was very happy, but Atta was not so excited.

His men of nearly 1,000 men captured dozens of prisoners, and did not make any other meritorious deeds, and all these prisoners were given to the Oriental Trading Company, and more importantly, Li Zhaoji announced just now when he was visiting the wounded soldiers that he would return to Tamsui City after lunch tomorrow.

"What are you going to do with those corpses?" After the celebration banquet, Li Zhaoji called Atta to the house where he lived, and he took the initiative to ask.

Atta was not very happy, and said: "Your people said that they should be buried, otherwise there will be a plague, and I think it is better to throw it into the river to feed the fish, and it will save digging a pit." ”

Li Zhaoji shook his head, after all, this river was going to merge into the Tamsui River, and eventually pass through Tamsui City. He asked, "Atta, don't your tribe do any religious rituals with human heads?" ”

"If you're willing to cut off Muro's head for me, the Great Wizard will do it, and the rest won't. We are not Atayal, and only the heads of special enemies are meaningful to us, such as enemy chieftains or blood feuds. Atta explained.

Li Zhaoji nodded: "Then I will have people bury the dead tomorrow, cut off their heads, and take them to Tamsui City." ”

"What are you going to do?" Atta was puzzled, he had known about the Fu Lao, and although they also believed in many gods, they had few religious rituals.

Li Zhaoji said: "Build a view of Beijing. ”

"Jingguan? What is that? Atta couldn't understand it at all.

Li Zhaoji said: "It is to build the enemy's head into a mountain and preach martial might. I need the Dutch to see, I need the Spaniards to see, I need the Daucas to see, they see that everything we do today makes sense. ”

Atta thought about it and felt reasonable, but he said, "Actually, we can do a lot. The Atayal killed and captured in this battle were at least one-third of the enemy's soldiers, almost all of the elite, and the defeat of Kalou was difficult to maintain in the tribe, if we chased and killed the past, there would be more results, and you could also get more labor. ”

Li Zhaoji shook his head: "My entire army is here, and even the people who came to the big ship have been dispatched by me, Tamsui City is very empty now, I can't leave for too long, Atta, please forgive me, even if you want to go deep into the mountains and forests to conquer the Atayal, it will be after the war between the Dutch and the Spaniards." ”

Atta was disappointed, but after his own Blood Alliance had done his best for him, he couldn't ask for more.

"Well, I'm in too much of a hurry." Atta said.

Li Zhaoji said: "I will continue to leave fifty people to guard the Holy Hill, and this time the commander is Liu Shun." ”

"That couldn't be better." Atta smiled rarely, the Holy Hill was already the immortal city in the hearts of the Kaida Gran people, and the firearms army far exceeded all the weapons of the Atayal people.

"What about Haruki, what do you think of his team?"

Li Zhaoji said: "Atta, you can call Haruki and his team back, but the weapons must be left, or you can let Haruki continue to train with people in Tamsui City, this army has been there for two years, and after two years, these weapons will be all your Kaida Gran people."

Of course, according to the agreement, we will also be stationed in the Holy Hill for two years. ”

Atta hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I didn't mean that, the eggs laid by the hen belong to the hen, and we Kaida Gran people understand this truth." I'm wondering if you'll be able to accept more people going to Haruki. ”

Li Zhaoji said: "As long as you Kaida Gran people can afford it, then the number is unlimited. ”
