Text Chapter 58 Begin the Acceptance Plan
Three weeks later, the town of Yanhuang officially completed the gunpowder loading of 10,000 rounds of ammunition and 500 grenade shells. The 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Escort Force also learned how to aim and use the rifles, and with the reinforcement of the grassroots backbone of the 1st Battalion, their combat strength was not inferior to that of the colonial militia, because of the advanced weapons, the attack power was much stronger. This time it was just to deal with the Indians, and it didn't need much combat power, and the current appearance was enough for the time being.
With the help of Qu Jun, Xiao Lin planned a plan to become famous. According to Qu Jun, he was inspired by the 20th century's plan to make excuses for Dongying's invasion wars. Sam and Dean took a few elite warriors to the town of Pandey, killed a lobster soldier, changed into the military uniform of the Yanhuang Trading Company, and then found an opportunity to throw it into the range of a small tribe. Sam and Dean, the lobster soldiers who were killed with compound bows, had every reason to directly accuse the tribe of white soldiers of attacking the Yanhuang Guard.
Besides, Xiao Lin didn't need to implement this matter, he just did it for the other tribes to see. Under the threat of force from the Yanhuang Trading Company, they will naturally take this matter as a legitimate excuse and continue their peaceful life with peace of mind. Although the strength of these tribes is very poor, if they are united, they can still cause a lot of trouble to my Yanhuang Trading Company. If there is such a thing, at least it will not immediately make them angry.
This battle, which was mainly aimed at recovering these Indian tribes, had to be done not to burn, kill, loot, or violate women. Whether it's the elderly or the baby, they have to come in and keep their lives safe. If he wanted to formally compete with Britain and other European countries for the American colonies, Xiao Lin felt that he had at least 100,000 civilians and about 20,000 soldiers. If all the Indians within this 300-kilometer radius were subdued, the population would reach nearly 20,000, and the goal would be achieved by one-fifth.
On the other side of Pandey Town, he didn't touch it because he didn't want to alarm the Addams family. However, there weren't many tribes there before, and after the four big tribes were subdued, there were only two or three tribes left there with a total population of just over three hundred, and Xiao Lin couldn't look down on them. Three battalions, divided into three groups, led by Shoren, James and Apache. Qu Jun and Pearl received Xiao Lin's order to become the overseers and follow the troops.
This time, Xiao Lin paid a lot of money, and for every sound adult captive he caught, he could get a five-yuan Yanhuang coin. The elderly are worth two dollars, and the babies and children are both worth three dollars. Now that the townspeople have recognized the value of the coins, they don't refuse to use them, as long as they can buy what they need at the town's grocery store, which has been expanded into a supermarket.
The three battalions moved separately, and the most combat-ready battalion, led by Xiao Lin, attacked the largest tribe in the vicinity that they had framed. The name of the tribe is Rock Wall, and there are more than 900 people in total, and the number of warriors is about 200. Unlike other Indian tribes, they still use shields. They have a well-established technique of making skin shields, which are very effective for protecting bows and arrows and melee weapons. Therefore, the compound bow that Xiao Lin sold could not penetrate their shield.
However, medium formal rifle bullets are not included in this list. This tribe was chosen because their warriors had been in battle for a long time and were more threatening. Moreover, this tribe has always been very arrogant and domineering, and it is very convincing to attack them with the reason that they attacked the Yanhuang warriors. When Sholin and a battalion reached the outside of their tribe, they had just woken up from their night's rest.
Cooking smoke began to rise, and the warriors needed to replenish a little energy before going out hunting to collect more food and fur for the tribe. Many of the women also got up, and after a while, they would go to the mountains in search of some valuable herbs to exchange for more good things from Sholin at the next fair. The whole tribe is permeated with an aura of laziness, and many people are not fully open their eyes, and they are acting completely by feeling.
Xiao Lin scattered his men and slowly surrounded the tribe against the wall. Then, with an order, he flipped straight in. Although the tribe knew that something was wrong with the white people in their area, and the Yanhuang Company sent a question, there was no sign that the two sides were going to fight. So they didn't feel nervous at all, only a few elders went to Yanhuang Town, ready to discuss with Yanhuang Trading Company and pursue the truth of the matter.
Xiao Lin gave an order, and the three hundred warriors crossed the wall in pairs, and entered the rock wall tribe very suddenly. The fighters did not shoot, but picked up the rebellious enemy with the butts and Tang knives. Those who did not resist were handcuffed to a stake by the waist with 18th-century replica handcuffs. The Rock Wall Tribe was taken by surprise and did not organize much resistance at all. Only a few dozen warriors took advantage of the chaos to enter the patriarch's house, where the composite bow and shield protected the patriarch and elders.
Xiao Lin didn't want to kill all these people, so he took out a loudspeaker and said surrender to the inside.
"Patriarchs and elders of the Rock Wall Tribe, you don't need to be stubborn, we have been captured by the rest of your tribe. ”
"Patriarch Xiao, our tribe didn't provoke you, why did you invade our tribe. ”
"Oh, but how do I remember that one of us died on your turf?"
"I sent someone to explain that it was a misunderstanding, and that we didn't kill your people. ”
"I believe this, but I have to give an explanation to so many of my subordinates, and if anyone touches my people in the future, who will dare to work for me. ”
"So, Patriarch Xiao doesn't plan to let us go?"
"How is it possible, we only punish the worst, but most of the rest can work for me, and I can give you a better life. ”
"Hmph, shameless, I think this is your plot. ”
"Why, won't you surrender?"
"Dream on, we'll resist to the end, we're going to show everyone your shameless face. ”
"In that case, I'm so sorry, let's kill them. ”
Since the ruling class of the Rock Wall Tribe did not intend to surrender, Xiao Lin felt that there was no need to leave them behind. Originally, he didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately because of the character of the soldier, but for the sake of the great cause in the future, he could only be ruthless. It will be a great success, let alone build an empire. Ever since he embarked on this path, Xiao Lin has already had this awareness. At Sholin's orders, the most loyal and elite soldiers of the company stepped forward with their guns raised, and first fired a flurry of fire, and then four grenades were thrown in, and the whole room was blown to pieces.
The roof was blown off, there was a pile of minced meat inside, and the fighters went in to check it, but there was no living mouth. The people of the Yanbi tribe, Xiao Lin had the three companies escorted back to the town and handed over to the militia to take care of. The first and second companies continued to set off and walked to the next predetermined tribe, and the soldiers of the third company would automatically rush there to join the first and second companies after completing the mission.
Sholin and Apache James made an appointment, and as soon as Sholin had eliminated the Rock Wall Tribe, he immediately began to move on to the rest of the tribes. According to the previous means, a corpse was framed again. Sam and Dean brought back ten white corpses, which could be used on the ten strongest tribes in the vicinity. Shawlin also knew that sooner or later these Indians would find out that something was wrong. Therefore, they must act quickly and accurately.
The soldiers came to the vicinity of these tribes on the pretext of hunting, then looked for an opportunity to drop the corpses, and the next day pretended to find the corpses, and then sent people to ask them for their crimes. Of course, these tribes could not admit that Apache and James had an excuse to attack directly. Follow the line of thought set by Sholin for a special operations operation, minimize casualties, and move these tribes back to the town one by one. In the absence of telegraph calls, when the rest of the Indian tribes received the news that something was wrong and wanted to unite, all the tribes with more than a hundred warriors were defeated by the Yanhuang Trading Company.
Under the planning of Xiao Lin and Qu Jun, two wilted people, these Indian tribes had no power to resist at all. However, Shawlin underestimated the will of these people to resist. In the process of arresting, many people still had to be killed. In the end, out of a total of 20,000 Indians, only 16,000 were captured. This amount, in fact, is just right, almost exceeding the bearing capacity of Yanhuang Town. In the end, only one battalion of fighters was left fighting outside, and the rest returned to the town to suppress the prisoners.
Of this group of captives, Xiao Lin planned to select a thousand of the most obedient men to join the convoy, and the rest of them were turned into peasants. Led by some whites with enough experience in farming, they began to clear the land outside the town. Of course, the first thing is to completely subdue this group of people.
However, something really went wrong with this subjugation operation. The previous hunger and temptation methods did not work, and even Xiao Lin brought the white wolf out worked. Because, in the eyes of these people, Shawlin defeated them by despicable and shameless means. In order to ensure that he could harvest enough labor, Xiao Lin let the battle always be based on sneak attacks and lure ambushes. This did not look like a warrior in the eyes of the Indians, saying that they had lost the honor of the warrior and were not worthy of their surrender.
At this moment, Xiao Lin completely broke his brain. In the end, it was the Eagle who found a solution for him. The eagle tells Shoren that the Indians admire the strong the most, and that the stronger the warrior, the more they can become leaders. If Shawlin wants to subdue them, he must let them know that Shawlin is a much stronger warrior than them. Moreover, Shoren had to beat them in their prime.
In desperation, Xiao Lin could only accept the eagle's suggestion. Find the best fighters first, then eat and drink to restore their strength, and then, deliberately choose a time to fight them alone.
