Chapter 1018 Borrowing a knife to kill
In the dense woods, a boy was walking slowly, holding a rifle in his hand and staring at the woods with sharp eyes. A little boy of five or six years old was holding a black hunting dog beside him.
Suddenly, the boy suddenly picked up his rifle, and with the sound of a gunshot, the hound flew out like a black lightning, and the little boy followed it and ran.
"Lightning, wait for me."
Amid the barking of the hunting dogs, the little boy shouted excitedly when he saw the elder brother coming.
"I hit it, I hit it, brother, it's a wild boar, such a big wild boar..."
The sunlight shining under the gaps of the leaves reflected on the little boy's face, and you can clearly see the boy's appearance with mixed blood traces. In Dongning, this is normal. Although the military households in Dongning Castle were monogamously immigrated from the Ming Dynasty to Dongning Castle in North America, they all had concubines, ranging from one or two to three or four. The concubines were all girls from England, Ireland, France and other places. Although they were often maids from military households when they first came, they were easy to serve on the bed when they served their masters.
It is also because of this that more than two-thirds of the military children in Dongning Fort were mixed-race children. This is no big deal. How to comfort the "pacifying the Yi and Returning to Xia"? It is just a verbal education? Of course not. In history, during the pre-Qin and Zhou dynasties, what did the "Chinese people" educate the "savages"? It relies on swords, the enslavement of the "savages" by the "Chinese people" and the possession of the "savage women".
Why is the first poem in the Book of Songs "Guanju"?
The saying "The doves are singing in the river island, and the beautiful ladies are beautiful ladies, and gentlemen are good friends" is explained by many people as vulgar love between men and women. But in fact? In the pre-Qin period, the so-called "gentlemen" specifically refers to the people in the city. When they went out of the wild, they found that after women, they were naturally "good friends". This tradition even continued into the Spring and Autumn Period, just like Confucius, his father was a Chinese, and met his mother in a village outside the city, so they joined forces on the land mounds of Mount Ni, and then Confucius was found.
The main gate of Dongning Fort is "Nishanmen". The official statement is "not forgetting the saints", but the original meaning is "not forgetting the education" - a man in the Ming Dynasty must fulfill his responsibilities of education in a foreign country, and combine with the barbarians to educate foreign countries.
This is the responsibility and obligation of the Ming men.
The military households in Dongning Fort are undoubtedly the heroes of men and heroes. They all took a few foreign concubines and gave birth to at least five or six, seven or eight or even a dozen children. As for raising children, it is even more relaxed. North America where Dongning Fort is located is really a rich continent of "God's Promised Land". It is not a problem to fill your stomach. As long as you spend a little effort to open a wasteland and farm, you will have corn flour cakes to eat. If you want to eat meat, it will be easy to solve. After leaving Dongning Fort, there are hundreds of miles of gardens around, and there are grasslands and woodlands everywhere, and there are countless birds walking there.
Beasts, such as bison and wild turkey, are all in groups. As for wild geese, wild ducks and traveling pigeons, they are even more overwhelming. As long as you are willing to go out to hunt, there will be countless wild animals to eat. Even if you don’t have time to go out to hunt, the price of buying at the market is very cheap, and it is even more cheap to buy directly from the Indians. A jar of wine can be exchanged for a deer from the natives. If you want to eat some fruit, all kinds of wild berries on the meadows in the forest are also very rich, such as blueberries, raspberries, thick plums, wild cherries, and wild grapes, which can make the dining table look less monotonous.
There is enough food, full meat, and free fruit... Life is like heaven, and there will naturally be no scruples when giving birth to children. If there are no five or six boys in the family, I feel embarrassed to say hello to others when going out.
"Wother son, you bring lightning to the fort and call someone to come over. We can't carry this pig back. Don't forget to give the fruit to Lao Ba, Lao Jiu and others, so as to save them from the trouble of following us..."
However, when a boy who looks like a teenager, he looks like a little adult when he speaks, but his appearance reveals his age, but he is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
"I understand, brother, be careful, there are many wolves here!"
The little boy said with concern,
"Don't worry, you have to be careful..."
Just as the boy's words fell, a rapid bell came from a distance. Listening to the bell, the boy's face changed and he said anxiously.
"Hurry, waiter, go! Go home!"
When they listened to the bell, the two of them threw down the wild boar weighing at least four or five hundred kilograms. Without even looking at it, they ran towards Dongning Fort. After all, there are so many wild boars like this in the forest!
"Brother, can it be the natives here?"
"Native people? They don't have the courage!"
When the two brothers ran to the fort, they met other people on the way. On the way, they met an adult whom they knew each other and pulled them onto the horse.
Soon, the playground of Dongning Fort was crowded with people. As soon as they jumped off the horse, someone called them.
"Big Zhuang, second Zhuang..."
"Dad, what's wrong?"
When the two of them ran away, they heard their father say.
"Da Zhuang, listen well, dad is going to go to Yuehai to fight. From now on, you will be the pillar of your family. You will protect your mother and aunt. Er Zhuang, you are the second brother, you will help your brother."
While Wang Li was reminding his sons, in the neighboring city of Boston, John Winthrop Jr. looked at the governor in front of him and said.
"Governor, this is not our war!"
Standing in front of the Governor, John Winthrop Jr. said in as standard as possible.
"The reason we left England and came to the distant New World was not only to avoid their persecution of the Puritans, but also to avoid the threat of war. The king's war is not our war!"
"John, you must understand that this is the war of the Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Linyue said righteously.
"For every Ming people, it is our honor and obligation to serve the country with all their loyalty and loyalty to His Majesty!"
"But……"
When the words came to his mouth, John Winthrop realized that they had long vowed allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Emperor, and they were the people of the Ming Dynasty!
"This is the New World, that is the war in the Old World."
"You are the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Linyue said in a difficult question.
"Old Continent? Is it nothing to do with you? My friend, during the rebellion of Cromwell, your son went to England to participate in the rebels of Oliver Cromwell. In the whole of New England, at least a thousand people had participated in the rebels! Are you willing to fight for a rebel, rather than fight for His Majesty the Emperor?"
The tall hat was put on the head of John Winthrop, and he immediately became a mute. His son, John Winthrop III, did participate in Cromwell's new model army. Among Cromwell's army and navy, there were many young people who spontaneously returned to England from the New World.
"My friend, believe me, for the people of New England, this war is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is an opportunity for you to show your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will never treat its people unfairly. Now, I have mobilized the army of Fort Dongning, and I hope that in three days, at least 1,500 brave New England residents will volunteer to join this expeditionary force at Fort Dongning!"
What is voluntary?
It doesn’t matter whether they are voluntarily or not. If they don’t “voluntarily”, Wang Linyue has some ways to make them “voluntarily”.
Faced with the insistence of the Governor, John Winthrop Jr. knew that there was no room for recovery. He thought for a while and then said.
"Sir, I will try to explain to them."
A few days later, on the playground in front of Fort Dongning, New England people from all over the country gathered. These "volunteers" all "voluntarily" served the country.
"Sir, there are 1,063 volunteers in total, and there are still 400 people..."
Before Luo Yun finished speaking, Wang Linyue waved his hand and said,
"Don't hurry, don't hurry, take it slowly, this is the first batch, and there is the second batch next. By the way, what about that John Winthrop III? You can't miss him. These people are hard-core barbarians. If they die one more person there, we will have one less barbarian here!"
Killing someone with a knife... This move is the only thing that my ancestors have played with!
This trick is as useful as those barbarians!
For this colony, these 100,000 Englishmen are potential hidden dangers, but they can't kill all of them with one blow.
The final solution is to use the advantage of quantity to slowly integrate these people into the Ming Dynasty and become a member of the Ming people, just like the chieftains and natives in the southwest and southeast China. In this process, of course, we must find some ways to consume their population, especially young and strong men.
Every time they die a man, their strength and future are reduced by a little bit, and war is of course the easiest way to achieve this goal.
A few days later, when several sailboats left Boston amid the sound of salutes and cheers of women, John Winthrop III, who was standing on the side of the landing, suddenly felt that perhaps this was the last time he had witnessed the land...
Unlike the last happy departure, he seemed a little heavy at this time. Compared to his sad face, the Chinese were cheering at the other end of the deck, and on the dock, hundreds of Chinese were humming their war songs there.
Faced with war, the Chinese soldiers were like natural soldiers, excited and fanatical, eager to fight for the emperor, but what about them?
Why did they fight? For the emperor? For the Ming Dynasty?
