February 10, 1643, Zhuxi Fort, Xinxiang City (now Suai, a coastal town in southern East Timor), Timor Island.

In a low wooden house, a naked man was pressing on a native girl, his body was twitching constantly, and he was making a low roar.

Outside the wooden house, a native man squatted on the ground with a dull look on his face. He didn't say a word. He only occasionally looked back at the wooden house, and then lowered his head to carefully observe the ants crawling around on the ground.

Under a tree not far from the wooden house, two country soldiers, carrying muskets on their backs, were talking quietly, glancing at the wooden house from time to time, with playful smiles on their lips.

"Captain, captain!" Several calls came from the distance. Two country soldiers standing under the tree looked for a voice and saw a country soldier running towards them in a hurry.

"What's going on, Xiao Qi, you look so panicked." A village soldier under the tree asked, "Could it be that the natives from some farm have rebelled again?"

"Shit! How dare those natives rebel?" The rural soldiers who came took a breath and said: "The rural soldiers brigade sent an order for our team to run to the dock fort in half an hour to assemble."

"Hey, we ran to the fort in half an hour!" Another soldier said: "What's the matter? It's so urgent. Is it possible that some enemies dare to attack us in Xinxiang City?"

"No. It seems that we will be transferred to Baobao City in the north."

"Baogao City? Isn't that the former royal city of Weihari Kingdom? Where are you going and what are you doing?"

"How do I know?" The village soldier who came to deliver the message said with a smile: "Only the big shots in the city know what you are doing there."

"Damn it, Old Ding isn't done yet. I'll run to the fort later to gather. Don't worry, your legs are weak. Hee hee..."

"What is the captain doing?"

"Our squad leader is helping the natives improve their descendants! Haha..." a rural soldier said, looking at the wooden house over there.

"The captain is..., in that... that or something." The soldier who sent the message also looked towards the wooden house, "If the adults above find out about this, they will be beaten with military sticks."

"Just beat him." A village soldier said with a smile: "Old Ding really can't hold it in any longer and would rather get a beating with a military stick. He is so rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and he won't be alive and kicking again after being fed for a few days."

"Who dares to tell me? I'll beat him to death!" Several village soldiers were chatting and laughing when a tall man walked out of the wooden house. When passing by the native man at the door, he dropped a dime beside him.

Without even looking at him, he quickly walked toward his companions under the tree, tying up his clothes as he walked.

"Old Ding, are you happy enough?" a rural soldier asked jokingly.

"It's so boring! This bitch is done, she just puts on her grass skirt and starts making food for her man... Hey!" The country soldier squad leader known as Lao Ding spat on the ground.

"To be honest, since I arrived

Xinxiang, only when you become a native of Qi can you feel that you are an uncle. From now on, I will eventually have to raise a Han family aunt in the house and give birth to a bunch of Han children to maintain our status as an uncle here."

"Just wait." A village soldier sighed, "There are very few women transported from the Ming Dynasty. Even if there are, they will be transported to the Han continent first. I don't expect to get one of the Han women. The biggest one.

I hope that the adults above will give me an Annan woman, and she will look similar to us Han people."

"It might not work in previous years, but maybe we all have hope this year." The team leader surnamed Ding said: "According to the immigrants who passed by our Xinxiang City a few days ago, thousands of Annan women gathered in Batavia. Our Navy Commander snatched them from Annan. In a few days, they may come to our Xinxiang City. At that time, our Chief Luo will definitely seize a batch and give it to our Xinxiang people."

"...No, the Rural Soldier Brigade asked us to gather at the dock fort in half an hour. We were so busy talking just now that we forgot about this."

"What? What a fool, you didn't tell me earlier. If you are late for roll call, in addition to being slapped with a military stick, you will also be deducted money. Damn it, run away!"

"Old Ding, can you still run? Haha... don't let your legs get weak for a while!"

————————

Luo Ziwei, the general manager of Xinxiang District, looked solemnly at the rural soldiers who continued to gather at the dock fort. His face was calm, but there was an unknown fire in his heart. As he looked, it was almost the rice harvest season, which requires a lot of labor. At that time, the black-clad guards happened to cause some trouble in Baobao City, so Xinxiang City urgently recruited rural soldiers to provide support.

The commander of the black guards, Cao Ming, instructed his subordinates stationed in Baokang City to kill the unruly Natatuka. Then he supported another army general, hoping that he would inherit Natatuka's power. But although this man controlled most of the army, he seemed helpless against the seven or eight large tribal leaders who supported Natatuka outside the city and were in urgent need of assistance from the people of Qi.

For this reason, the black-clad guard who caused the trouble directly turned to the nearby Zhenhai City for help, hoping to send marines and rural soldiers to help the puppet general Diditouye selected by the black-clad guard stabilize the situation here.

Li Fade, the company commander of the Second Marine Corps stationed in Zhenhai City, immediately brought more than 50 marines and more than 60 rural soldiers to the camp. Unexpectedly, the leaders of several large tribes gathered together and dispatched 3,000 soldiers. The remaining people besieged the city. Although they were defeated by Li Defa and Diditouye's troops in a battle, these tribes still refused to give up and hid in the nearby mountains and forests. They launched a troublesome attack on the Qi armed forces and Diditouye's soldiers who came out of the city. guerrilla warfare in the jungle.

As a result, the more than 2,000 native armed forces in the city who had surrendered to Qi were blocked in the coastal area by the tribal forces loyal to Natatuka, and were unable to penetrate into the inland areas for a while.

Faced with such a situation, how could Li Fade be willing to take a break? He discussed it with Qiao Bensheng, the person in charge of the black guards here, and immediately sent someone to Xinxiang City to deliver a message, hoping to get the support of 300 to 500 rural soldiers, and then go deep into the interior. Implement a thunderous strike against those tribes that dare to resist.

Although he knew that the methods of the black guards were rough and left many tricks behind, now Li Fade wanted to gather more armed forces and tried to crack down on the tribes who still dared to resist Qi, which seemed more simple and crude. But Xinxiang The regional director, Luo Ziwei, was still holding his nose and preparing to wipe the butt of those reckless soldiers.

The barbarians are beasts, and they are afraid of threats but not moral. In order to better intimidate and rule the natives on Timor Island in the future, perhaps a large-scale attack will be carried out to make them deeply realize the power of our Qi State, so as to avoid another incident. The unruly people came to provoke (resist) our Daqi Kingdom.

"This time when you lead my three hundred soldiers from Xinxiang City to Baokang City, you must proceed with caution. All military matters must be under the command of Marine Corps Li Fade, but you must not blindly consume my Xinxiang soldiers. Try to take them all with you as much as possible. When you come back, don't let your relatives at home worry." Luo Ziwei said earnestly to Tao Kaigui, the captain of the rural soldiers who led the team this time.

"Yes, sir. When I go to Baokang City this time, I will do my best to bring these... these three hundred people back alive." Tao Kaigui promised with a tangled look on his face.

On the one hand, the general manager asked me to "submit to the command of the Marine Corps in all military matters", and on the other hand, he also asked me not to waste the rural soldiers in Xinxiang City. However, if they arrived in Baobao City, the commander of the Marine Corps had to assign them to charge forward and fight with the Marine Corps.

In a bloody battle between natives, how dare he, a captain of a rural soldier?

Disobeying military orders. Moreover, it is said that the Marines will take them deep into the interior to attack the hostile native tribes. In jungle warfare, non-combat attrition will definitely be inevitable. In the end, all the more than 300 rural soldiers were killed.

It is already a rare thing to bring back 80% to 90% of the total.

On February 18, after receiving reinforcements from more than 300 rural soldiers in Xinxiang City, Commander Li Fade of the Second Marine Corps waited for the troops in the city to rest for a few days, then led Diditouye with more than 400 marines and rural soldiers.

The more than 1,000 native vassal troops under his control acted as the vanguard, setting out from Baokao City and sweeping the jungle area more than 20 miles outside the city.

Within ten days, they launched five consecutive attacks. At the cost of losing more than 70 native vassals and more than 10 Qi armed forces, more than 400 rebel natives were killed, and five native tribes were surrendered, with a population of more than 2,000.

The surrounding unsettled native tribes sent representatives or leaders to Baokao City in person to contribute property and express their surrender.

After consolidating the security situation around Baobao City, Li Fade began to plan an attack on the inland areas, preparing to conquer the large native tribes that were not convinced of the "kingdom". It was bound to include the surrounding areas into the "New Kingdom" dominated by Qi State.
