In the early morning, the roar of the fleet's steam engine also woke up the people on the shore.

Wangbo Port (Durban Port) has a very narrow harbor with a sea estuary. There are small Zulu tribes in the north of the harbor, and small Xhosa tribes in the south of the harbor.

Until this time, Zulu talents differentiated from the Bantu people and formed small tribes. As the Dutch expanded widely near Cape Town, there was no black man in a radius of hundreds of miles.

A large number of people either fled to the farther inland or came to the east coast.

For the British, Portuguese, and French who have no stronghold, they will not take the initiative to go ashore to capture slaves, but will use the small industrial products in their hands to exchange for fresh water and vegetables from them. Sometimes if they are lucky, they will also be lucky.

Can be exchanged for diamonds and gold.

For tribes, the iron knives in the hands of Europeans are obviously the most popular. If a tribe has the most iron weapons, it is most likely to become bigger in the same language clan. Therefore, the largest tribe often chooses to be near the coastline.

Residence, even at the risk of being captured by Europeans.

At this time, the leader of the Zulu people was named Natol. If there were no disturbance from the Truchens, he would have developed the Zulu people here into a large tribe in South Africa and become the main component of the black people in later South Africa.

Before, he defeated the British and French, and a few days ago, he defeated the Chinese dressed as Dutch, which made him more confident. He owned two hundred families in the north of the Bay of Zulu, each with a unique family.

There can be three people sitting on the wooden boat, one paddling, and two people fighting.

Because the estuary is very narrow, Europeans cannot get in, so the small boats that can enter are naturally limited, so they are obviously not their opponents. By this time, the Zulu people already had some mesh guns in their hands, plus their traditional poison arrows

, the combat effectiveness is still good.

But this time they met an opponent.

A "big ship" (Saiyin) with no sails and no need to paddle, and a terrifying black smoke emitting from the sea estuary!

In fact, for Truchen's Iron Craft fleet, the largest draft of Bogda is five meters, the Batulu is four meters, but the Saiyin is only two meters!

Such a draft allows it to dock in any port and sail in shallow seas.

The Saiyin number is equipped with a 500-horsepower steam engine, which can reach 80 miles per hour at full speed, far above the Bogda and Batulu, which is more than the major forces in Europe and Asia at this time.

The Clippers are much faster, they are the real Clippers.

When sailing in the fleet, in order not to separate from the large group of people, they only maintained a slightly faster speed than the ship.

An iron-shelled turret was also installed on the first deck of Saiyin, which could also be rotated with steam power. There were also ten Marines on it, and a black iron-shelled armor, which made him already sit in a canoe.

On the top, the Zulu people, who were naked, covered with white gray on their faces, and had only a grass skirt around their waists, hesitated.

After a while, I don’t know who shouted and took the lead in paddling a canoe!

Saiyin did not hesitate. With the captain's order, the speed slowly increased, and then it hit the canoes!

In order to reflect the iron armor advantages of his own warships, when discussing with senior engineers of the Shipping Department of the Ministry of Industry, Qitade specially designed the bow in addition to armor. Since the steam engine is installed at the stern, it is necessary to take the bow at the bow.

Install heavy facilities for balance.

The steel collision angle is generally installed on all types of ships of iron armored warships. The Saiyin number is 30 meters long, which is obviously much smaller than the Bogda, Batulu and Tengis, but with

These canoes are too big.

Besides, they are not like small sailboats. They are obviously not as fast as they enter the bay because they want to catch the wind and enter, but the Saiyin number is not like this!

"Pu..."

When the Saiyin number crashed, the canoes were either knocked into two pieces on the spot or overturned by people. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the canoes were destroyed by it!

For a moment, there were many naked black men in the bay (with their grass skirts also fell off) flapping in panic.

However, this time the Truchens did not kill them all, but rescued them one after another.

And on the south side of the harbor, after seeing this scene, the Xhosa people who were watching there were so scared that they all ran away.

The second Saiyin also drove in, and it began to sail slowly along the harbor, and from time to time it also laid down a small oar boat that could only take three or four people.

At this time, the fleet had all reached the northern end of the cape, which could slightly block the waves, and placed a heavy anchor near the sea.

It took almost a whole day for the two Saiyin to explore the entire bay. When a squadron was guided into the outside, it was time for another day to finish.

The Truchens occupied the thatched houses that originally belonged to the Xhosa in the southern end, and then interrogated Natol, the captured Zulu leader.

When Deng Quan immediately understood this time when he saw this Natol.

Although this person is also dark-skinned, he is obviously a mixed-race person. His father must be a white European man. His face is not as flat as other blacks, but has a clear outline.

Not only that, he can speak English!

Obviously, he is the descendant of a one-night stand with a British sailor and a black woman. At this time, it is not too common for black women living on the coast to exchange good things in the hands of Europeans.

Not only South Africa, but also Madagascar. Some European descendants even established a kingdom!

However, Natol's English obviously did not reach the level of being able to communicate with the Truchens.

At this time, Lin Zedong came in handy. He had been here for several years and had many black slaves under his command. Naturally, he learned their language. Most of these black tribes speak Bantu language, not to mention that there are still many here.

People escaped from near Cape Town.

"Say to him"

Timur issued an order.

"This bay will be ours in the future. You have no second way to go except for doing things for us. But we are not like Europeans who will capture you as slaves, but we must obey our commands, otherwise we will take you.

Kill them all!"

He also gave his kindness and power, took out some fabrics, knives and other objects to lure them.

"Follow us, there will be such things in the future!"

Natol surrendered, and he could not resist such a force. Moreover, after Timur asked about their ethnic group, he might help him unify the tribes around Wangbu Port.

The next morning, the Xhosa people on the south bank returned, and when they saw the more powerful Zulu, they also surrendered, and they also wanted to defect to the Truqins, but at this time Timur gave the order, only a large number of them were seen.

Truchen infantry fired at them, and then rode their horses to chase them.

In less than an hour, all the young and strong people in Xhosa were killed here.

"See?"

Timur said to Nathor: "I want to kill you easily. If you are not honest in the future, they will end up"

Natol was completely convinced at this time. Originally, they were the enemies of the Xhosa and neither side could conquer each other. However, the Truchens killed all the Xhosa after they met. He completely believed that they could

Assist yourself in unifying all the tribes around you.

A few days later, a regiment of soldiers assisted the Zulu people in sweeping a large number of small tribes around. While sweeping, the prospectors of the Ministry of Works with the team were also constantly exploring.

Finally, they found coal in Pinetown, more than ten miles west of Durban Port in later generations!

At this time, Natol had already had a large number of slaves, and Timur asked some of these people to build a road to the port under the leadership of Truchen craftsmen, and some people began to dig coal under the command of the craftsmen.

In fact, the fleet carries little coal, and they must build it here to a certain extent before continuing to sail forward.

One month later, Wangbu Port, Wangbu Coal Mine, and Wangbuburg have begun to take shape.

At this time, Truchen's "slave hunting team" had assisted Natol's tribe to capture a large number of black people, all of whom became slaves of the Zulu people. For Truchen people, they could use a black tribe to manage their responsibilities.

It would be better for them to do it themselves instead of doing it yourself.

Under their armed forces, Natol's tribe also had a unit with all iron cold weapons, and they assisted the Truchens in guarding coal mines, docks and bays.

Wangbu Port, a new class is forming.

The above are naturally the Truchen people, the middle is the Zulu people, and the rest are all slaves, including the Zulu people, the Xhosa people, the Koisan people, and the Bantu who cannot explain the origin of the race.

Black people.

Under the instruction of the Truchens, Natol gradually casts and incorporates the slaves with better performance into his own tribe. So above the slaves and under the Zulus, a similar to the Batavians.

The third level has appeared.

Both the Dutch and the Truchens know the way of balance.

Slowly, the Truchens could naturally include some of the black people they like directly into their own jurisdiction and let them farm near Wangbu Port.

When the fleet was filled with coal again and prepared to continue sailing north, Lin Zedong became the chief manager of the black farming here.

The Truchen, who looks stronger than the Dutch and has a close face to him, has already agreed to him.

"When you have the right opportunity, you will get justice for you"

Timur left two infantry battalions here, a cavalry company's forces, plus some civil servants and craftsmen, and let his cousin, Asar, who was in the Kreit family, serve as the chief steward of the place, and left.

.

Unlike Gozo and Genitra, he also left behind twenty craftsmen who could build ships here. There are a large number of tall and stout podium arhats around Wangbu Harbor. Although they are not as good as oaks and beech trees, they are also considered

Good ship material.
