- . Chapter 214: Fight violence with violence
The work of building the city must be carried out, and Xin Zhao's introspection work has not relaxed for a moment. First, he must understand the reason for the attack by this group of natives.
A few hundred natives is definitely not a small number. In this backward and civilized area, a tribe with a hundred adult men is considered a huge loss. When hundreds of capable hunters are gathered together at one time, and they are all equipped with iron weapons, this Only the most powerful tribes nearby can achieve this kind of power.
What happened that made the other party so aggressive?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????
This Zhanzhou can be regarded as a closed continent. All incoming and outgoing people, unless they are powerful enough to open a temporary port and settlement on their own, must pass through Xinlan.
So after the attack by the natives, the entire Xinlan¡¯s prevention and inspection became much stricter.
Soldiers began to patrol around the settlement, and those who were organized into police teams came to the merchants one after another, asking if there had been any forced buying or selling recently or anything similar that angered the natives.
There was no sign of anything for many days in a row. There was no all-pervasive spy on Xin Zhao's side, and it was not ruled out that there were spies from the Military Intelligence Department in New Lan. However, that was not something that Xin Zhao could command, so he could only adopt the policy of being easy on entry and strict on exit. What a stupid idea.
People who have left Zhanzhou recently have undergone the most rigorous interrogation, all in order to understand the reason why the natives suddenly went crazy.
After this news troubled Xin Zhao for many days, he was inadvertently discovered by a waiter at a wine shop.
That day, after the adventurer stole the scepter of the native tribe, he hid in the Xinlan camp. There was no suitable place to sell stolen goods in the Xinlan camp, and it was easy to be exposed. The adventurer lurked and stayed temporarily, just waiting. Find a suitable ship and return to Liberty City. At that time, you can just go anywhere and sell it, and there is no doubt that you will become a rich man.
The subsequent attack by the natives and the martial law in the entire camp made him understand the seriousness of the situation. Moreover, now that the interrogation was stricter, the ships leaving the port were not willing to pick up an adventurer who did not know his origin for a small amount of money. This guy was trapped in Xinlan.
Seeing that the money and food in the bag are getting less and less, although the facilities in Xinlan are not complete, the prices are expensive. There is no way, a lot of them have to be transported across the ocean.
This adventurer also likes to drink some wine. That day at the wine shop, he got drunk and spent all his money. However, he still wanted to drink some wine on credit. Naturally, the waiter refused. He was unhappy and immediately became drunk. The colorful stone was exposed above and waved in front of the condescending man.
Seeing the dumbfounded expression on the man's face, the adventurer was satisfied with his ambition, but also revealed his wealth, and ran away in a hurry.
The waiter didn¡¯t dare to take it lightly. It was true that he was a low-status waiter, but at the same time, his knowledge had also increased a lot among the drinkers who came and went. Such a legendary colorful stone was of great value.
At that moment, he trotted off to report to the police patrol. The detective did not dare to neglect, and the waiter was immediately led to Xin Zhao.
A down-and-out adventurer has a valuable multicolored stone. Whether the guy was lucky enough to pick it up in the wild or stole it, Xin Zhao wants to find out.
So a large-scale manhunt of the entire camp began. Don¡¯t look at the chaos in the camp, which is only reflected in the buildings. In fact, the Xinlan Camp¡¯s organization and residence pictures are not chaotic at all.
The official people are all in the northeast corner, directly facing the military camp. Those Siamese slaves fill the entire main camp area, and they have detailed formations. Those slaves who are mixed in will be reported immediately.
Only the area near the west, that is, towards the temporary port, is where the business district and merchants and civilians live, as well as many buildings such as restaurants, inns, and shops. Only this area is slightly more complicated.
However, under a dragnet-like search, the adventurer, whose appearance was roughly described by the wine shop clerk, was quickly found in a dry goods storage yard at the port.
He was hiding in a piece of sea fish that had not yet been dried. When he was brought to Xin Zhao, the strong smell of the sea made Xin Zhao sneeze several times.
Looking at the colorful stones found on this guy, Xin Zhao did not use many torture methods. He just followed the trick he learned from the Military Intelligence Department: keep asking this guy questions, twenty or thirty questions in a row, and then answer back. Ask again, because most people cannot remember lies made up on the spur of the moment.
So if you lied, you will immediately be wrong after being asked a few times, and the first answer and the second answer will contradict each other.
I heard that this method of identifying true and false is alsoThe leader of the country, Zhu Ming, came up with it, and everyone who has used it said it was good. This time, Xin Zhao also realized it.
It only took half an hour for the adventurer, who had been exposed as a liar three times in a row, to collapse and tell the whole story.
After hearing what happened, it was indeed the fault of these outsiders. After all, these native tribes regarded this multi-colored stone as a treasure.
But at the same time, there is poor communication between outsiders and local natives. In the future, as the power of the Blackwater Ming Kingdom expands in Zhanzhou, this kind of friction will only increase.
Xin Zhao thought: Will he have to guard against attacks from these natives every day in the future? Maybe who didn't do something to stoke the hornet's nest of the natives, and then the natives would indiscriminately attack your camp again at night?
Those natives don¡¯t care whether you act as an individual or as a group of outsiders. If they want to take revenge, they will retaliate against you as a group of outsiders.
Even if the city is built, you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days.
So although it was against the will of nature, Zhao Xin still made a decision: to clean up the local natives.
??
Such a decision was made by Zhao Xin. As for the head of the country, he had just got married and it was better not to get involved with these murderous things.
Four hundred-man teams were selected, two of which were composed of legionnaires under Zhao Xin's command, and the other two were enthusiastic business group guards.
They are so enthusiastic, but they are actually focused on the little possessions of the natives. No matter how familiar the enemy is with the terrain, the backward technology has destined these natives to only wait to be slaughtered. If they are lucky, another one will be killed. If you have colorful stones, you will make a lot of money.
Even if there are no gems or the like, those furs and the labor that can be captured for their own use are enough to make the members of these business groups jealous.
So the four teams moved forward together, with the primary target being the mining area.
There are many people working in the mining area, and the terrain is complex and densely covered with jungles. It is a good place for the natives to hang out. If the natives really want to fight to the death, it will be quite a headache to constantly harass these mining craftsmen and laborers. things.
So now the first target is to clean up around the mining area.
Although most of the soldiers of the Blackwater Ming Dynasty are masters of jungle warfare, and many of them were hunters before joining the army, they are still inferior to the familiar natives.
Therefore, under the leadership of the commanders of each team, as soon as these squads entered the mountainous area, they were overrun by the natives.
The native hunters began a process of constant harassment.
But their technology is too backward. Bows and arrows are simply made of wood and animal sinew, and their range is not far. Moreover, the arrows used are mostly bone arrows, and their lethality is extremely limited.
Although warriors from many tribes have smeared some poisonous arrowheads with snake venom or the venom of various reptiles, the number is limited after all, and the effectiveness of these poisonous arrowheads can only be exerted after being injected into the human body and in contact with the blood.
It is difficult for the vigilant suppression team to let these natives shoot poisonous arrows at close range, and if the distance is more than twenty steps, the lethality of these arrows is extremely limited.
So there were no dangers along the way. Only one unlucky guy from the four teams happened to be shot in the throat by a stray arrow and died. The others were unscathed, but the attacker was also as cunning as a loach. Although he was shot, Several, but no lives were lost.
The vertical leader of one of the routes is Chen Shitou. The route he commands is an elite group of men selected from the Zhanzhou Legion. Therefore, he is even more determined to find a native lair and destroy it. He cannot even connect those Even the guards from the merchant corps who smelled like copper couldn't compare.
As everyone wished, Chen Shitou's team soon found an obvious sign of the native tribe less than two kilometers away from the No. 1 mine of the Zhanzhou Development Group.
But now that the native tribe is empty of people, the natives must have sent many spies to be on guard. As soon as the Blackwater team arrives, these people will take action after hearing the news.
Chen Shitou also studied in the military academy. All generals who command more than a hundred people have been trained in a certain system. The human resources of the Blackwater Ming Dynasty are precious and they cannot suffer losses because of pig-like leaders.
He carefully observed the fire, and found that the fire was still there, and there were still fresh or dried animal meat in many shacks that had not been taken away.
"It must have been just a short time ago, and this camp is the real base camp of this tribe. At this moment, Chen Shitou struggled in his heart."Standing.
Before coming out, Xin Zhao gave very clear instructions: all tribes that did not cooperate and surrender would be eliminated. Although the order was cruel, everyone silently accepted it.
But in this situation, the enemy was not captured, but an empty camp. Should we just let it go and raid the camp again in a few days, or should we?
"No, Chen Shitou became angry and left the camp. Maybe there were a lot of supplies needed by the natives. After leaving, they would come and take them away at night. Wouldn't that be posing an obstacle to the enemy?"
This camp is quite messy. There are a lot of useful and useless things in the middle. It is impossible to take them all away. This is the only way.
Chen Shitou called his captain and ordered him to go down to the camp to see if anyone could be taken away, and the rest would be burned. "
The low-level officers below didn¡¯t think too much. Anyway, it was an order and they just had to be executed. They had no idea how inhumane it would be for this fire to destroy the place where they had managed to survive and thrive.
Half an hour later, raging fire shot up into the sky, and the residence of more than thirty native tribes, including shacks and shacks, was burned in the flames.
This same story happened in the other three suppression teams.
Faced with the empty native camps, the method they adopted was to rob and burn them all.
Zhu Ming, who is now far away in Liberty City, is completely unaware of it. If so, I really don¡¯t know what he is thinking. This army is equivalent to what people describe as beast soldiers.
After more than half a month of clean-up work, a total of more than 70 natives were hunted and killed. This number is not impressive. The natives are very slippery and it is difficult to catch them. Among these more than 70 people, there are still some who happened to be surrounded and killed. He married a small native family and robbed the women and children to make up for this amount.
But the achievement of destroying the camp is enough to be called brilliant. Twenty-three camps of various native tribes, large and small, were destroyed.
In many of these camps, stones and shells of different colors were found, but unfortunately there are no more treasures like colorful stones.
Those dried meats were not very valuable. Only a small bag of gold sand was found in one camp, which made the exploring team a small windfall. There was nothing else big.
The two teams of Zhanzhou Legion were not there, but the two teams composed of caravan guards were very depressed. It seemed that the most valuable thing in this native tribe was their labor force, so each of them also made fierce demands. Get rid of more tribes of natives so that the labor costs for them can be subsidized.
During the few days we went out to search, there were several heavy summer rains. Then during the chase in the wild, several teams began to kill the natives in the wild one after another.
There were no wounds on the body, and the body was not rotten. It seemed that he had died in the past few days. He was short of food and clothing in the wild, and without a stable place to live. He had to fearfully avoid the attacks of this group of outsiders every day. To protect the wild beasts, but also to withstand natural disasters.
This group of lowly civilized natives cannot bear it any longer.
Occasionally, there are a few tribes among them that rely on their large numbers of men and experienced hunters to attack mining teams in the wild. But now the mining picks in the hands of the mining teams are much sharper than the bone spears in their hands. The group of Siamese slaves are Despite the desperate resistance, they were not allowed to take advantage.
Instead, these tribes exposed their hiding places and dragged their families, including women and children, into trouble. They were captured by the suppression team who followed after hearing the news. After a few leaders were killed, they were all made prisoners.
In the second round of confrontation, the foreign invaders from the Blackwater Ming Kingdom were completely victorious. Except for a small number of dead natives and captured natives, the rest of the natives had to leave their homes where they had lived for many years under strong pressure. , migrating toward inland areas further west.
Because it is blocked by the high mountains on the coast, there is little water vapor and thin rainfall. It is a barren land. However, they know better that if they do not stay away from this group of devils, sooner or later they will all perish.
Soon the area around Xinlan calmed down. The captured natives also joined the labor force, but they were all under strict surveillance and shouldered the heaviest labor. There seemed to be no one among these guys who were difficult to communicate with. Pity them.
Perhaps if Zhu Ming were here, he would be kinder to them and teach them some basic skills and the ability to communicate with others, but unfortunately they encountered only ordinary people of this era. In this era where human life is as humble as a dog, Although because of Zhu Ming's stay, Blackwater Mingguo has a little more humanity, for most people, human life is still relatively worthless.
The construction of Xinlan City was very smooth. This city valued internal planning and neatness, and the city wall was just a standard for a small city.The height is not enough to carry out the work.
Such a small earthen wall-like city wall did not consume Zhao Xin's energy, and the general scale of the city soon came out. The city was neatly divided into residential areas, commercial areas, and government offices according to the plan, with a special area left blank. A small area to avoid having to demolish the city wall if development occurs in the future.
It was not until this time that the secret agent of the Military Intelligence Department spread the news about Xin Zhao¡¯s massacre of natives in Zhanzhou to Zhu Ming¡¯s desk.
When Zhu Ming saw such an order, he felt a little sad in his heart, but he had to agree with Zhao Xin that this was the best way. These natives were completely uncivilized and it was really difficult to reason with them. Sadness is nothing but compassion from future generations.
Although he knew that Zhao Xin had good intentions, he made such a decision on his own and failed to report it in time afterwards. This trend must not last forever. Otherwise, when the land area becomes larger and larger in the future, the people below will have to do their own thing, so that the central government can effectively control it. place.
So Zhu Ming sent an order to Zhanzhou. Zhao Xin, the commander of Zhanzhou, caused a conflict with the local natives and caused the death of innocent civilians. He believed that he had made great contributions in the process of developing Zhanzhou and was not punished. He was temporarily transferred back to the Free City and had another appointment. Niu Xin, the governor of Chuancun Port City, went to Zhanzhou to serve as the governor of Zhanzhou.
This means that the military and civilian affairs of Zhanzhou are officially handed over to Niu Xin.
Indeed, as Zhanzhou stabilizes and continues to expand and develop, economic work has been placed in the first position. Zhao Xin, who was a soldier, has become somewhat unable to control it. He takes this opportunity to change their positions to avoid future problems. question.
Zhao Xin is a general promoted by Zhu Ming. The fact that the massacre of natives was not reported shows his immaturity. Zhu Ming still hopes that he will become a pure soldier. Zhu Ming also needs to build such an officer. A regiment-type group, they will become an important player among several major forces in the country in the future.
The change of coach in Zhanzhou did not have too big an impact. Several main parties readily accepted the order and moved forward. Xincheng and Xinlan are still developing at a high speed on the normal track.
