Three guns were fired in unison, and the shells flew out.
Both the enemy natives and the natives on the Han side were all frightened and panicked by the sound of cannons.
The smoke from the artillery proved that the "thunder" came from there, and they subconsciously believed that it was summoned thunder and lightning.
One of the cannonballs hit the most deflection, passing over the indigenous soldiers and landing behind the slave auxiliary soldiers. Only two slaves were killed and injured. The other two cannonballs landed in the crowd of indigenous soldiers, bouncing and rolling like crazy to harvest the indigenous soldiers.
calf.
"God...Thunder God?" Prince Haru stood stunned on the spot. He was so shocked that he even forgot to run away.
On the island of Madagascar, there are various legends about gods, many of which are misunderstandings about foreign civilizations.
For example, the Antemoro people living on the southeast coast already have papermaking technology, and their nobles are proficient in Arabic writing, divination and astrology.
In the legend of the Antamoro people, messengers of God came from the sea and brought advanced knowledge and technology. Only nobles in the tribe were qualified to learn the knowledge of God, and civilians who stole it would be executed!
If one day, the Han people suddenly left by boat, it is estimated that a similar situation would happen to the indigenous people in this village - the nobles mastered Chinese and Chinese characters, began to worship Mazu, became popular in going to the church to get married, and owned rice cultivation, aqueducts, wheelbarrows and cattle
Farming technology. And the mixed blood left by the Han people must have been nobles for generations, claiming to be descendants of the gods.
Just when Prince Haru was in a daze with fright, some natives were already running away in panic, and some were kneeling down to worship the gods on the spot.
"Blow the charge!"
"Dududududu da da da da~~~~~~"
The musketeers held bayonets, the melee soldiers held swords and spears, and the indigenous villagers also held wooden spears and pushed open the fence gate and rushed out.
A large number of indigenous enemy troops turned around and fled, and more and more people knelt down to worship gods.
"Let's go!"
Prince Haru was dragged by his generals, and Xilihutu was defeated and fled.
This scene often happened between the colonists and the indigenous people. When Spain came to the Americas, the Aztecs regarded war horses as sacred objects. They did not dare to attack them at first, and they turned around and ran away when encountering cavalry.
Of course, after getting to know each other and fighting more wars, the natives were able to overcome their fear.
At this moment, those slave soldiers were kneeling the most. They had been instilled with the concept of obedience since childhood. Nobles were descendants of gods. As slaves, they must obey the gods' will. However, the Han people in front of them were obviously gods, and their divinity was much more genuine than that of the nobles.
.
Prince Haru ran all the way. Suddenly, sporadic gunshots were heard on the hillside of the river valley, and then forty Han soldiers rushed out.
The frightened natives jumped into the river one after another. They abandoned their weapons and food and baggage, and swam frantically to the other side to escape for their lives.
Prince Haru came ashore downstream. In panic, he counted the number of people and found that there were only a dozen soldiers left. One after another, more than a hundred people came to join him and fled back to his capital in embarrassment. Due to the loss of supplies, he could only intimidate the tribes along the way.
, ordering those tribes to provide food.
The whole battle was inexplicable when fought and won.
"Count the prisoners." Deng Youzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
There were more than 800 prisoners, and half of them surrendered on their knees without any resistance at all.
In addition, a large number of bronze spears and grain were also seized. Are these indigenous people specially here to give away supplies?
After interrogating several prisoners, Li Luosheng smiled and approached Deng Youzhang: "These natives think that we are the Gods of Thunder. Why don't we call the God of Thunder tribe, declare to the outside world that we are gods, release some prisoners back, and let them help spread the name. As long as the reputation spreads
If we do this, no tribe will dare to attack us anymore, and some tribes will even take the initiative to seek refuge.”
Deng Youzhang also interrogated him personally, nodded and said: "All the slave soldiers will stay, organize households and people, and cultivate and produce. If there are outstanding performers, the women captured before will be arranged to be their wives. The rest of the indigenous soldiers will be released back.
Let them help promote it.”
Li Luosheng was originally the incense master on the ship. His main job was to worship and worship Mazu. He was very good at pretending to be gods and ghosts.
He gathered the prisoners together, and the gods announced: "We are the descendants of the God of Thunder. The God of Thunder lives in the sky and can call out thunder and lightning. If the God of Thunder is angry, he will also bring hurricanes to destroy everything. You are attacking the gods for no reason, and you have angered them.
Thor. Select the ten leaders and execute them all. The rest of you will be given another chance. After you leave, you must spread the reputation of Thor so that you can gain the forgiveness of Thor!"
Among the prisoners captured during resistance or escape, ten were selected to be executed to establish their authority, and the remaining prisoners were released on the spot.
Li Luosheng said to the slave soldiers again: "You have been selected by the God of Thunder, and you can stay as the people of the God of Thunder!"
"oh!"
The slave soldiers cheered and shouted, the excitement coming from the bottom of their hearts.
Deng Youzhang said: "This is too easy. If the foundation was not too shallow, I would have led troops to capture that city."
In fact, the Portuguese discovered Madagascar as early as 150 years ago. Decades ago, Portugal, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom all tried to establish trade points in Madagascar, but they all failed due to the harsh environment and indigenous resistance.
These Europeans wanted to establish a stronghold in the eastern part of the island as a springboard across the Indian Ocean.
But the eastern part of the island has a tropical rain forest climate, and the indigenous people there are also extremely fierce and often ambush colonists in the tropical rain forest.
Deng Youzhang and others settled in the west of the island, at the junction of savanna climate and tropical plateau climate. The living environment was far better than the tropical rainforest in the east. Mosquitoes were more ferocious, so they needed to be on guard against malaria and had to burn grass to fumigate mosquitoes every day.
Although the environment in the west of the island is relatively superior, the Europeans do not attach much importance to it. It is better for them to establish a stronghold in the west than directly in Mozambique.
After this battle alone, the population of the Han village was close to one thousand, not including children.
In the next six months, they expanded along the river valley and burned the nearby land into fields. They taught the indigenous people how to remove stones, level the land, and compost the fields.
With abundant food and low taxes, the indigenous people quickly developed a sense of belonging.
Even the women snatched from the grassland gradually got used to the current life and even felt that their lives were better than before.
The Han people also began to dry salt and dug several salt-drying pools on the northern seashore. Due to the obstruction of the central plateau, the northwest coast received less rainfall, which was very suitable for drying sea salt.
And near the salt field, two small fishing villages were found, where the indigenous people made a living by fishing.
Through communication, we quickly established good relationships with fishermen.
The two small fishing villages were willing to be affiliated with the Han people and pay regular tributes of small amounts of fish. The Han people provided protection for the fishermen, exchanging salt and grain for the fresh fish caught by the fishermen, and then salted the fresh fish on site into dried salted fish.
A southern tribe close to a Han village, after learning about the reputation of the God of Thunder, frequently came to trade goods, and finally declared its allegiance to the clan.
The so-called kingdom here is originally a tribal alliance.
The "Thunder God Tribe" of the Han people has risen rapidly. They don't have to pay too many tributes and provide tribesmen as slaves. The conditions they offer are far more tolerant than those of the Boyina Tribe. The natives are not stupid. They know who to follow. It is more practical. If it is not a matter of distance.
, I am afraid that several tribes have already taken refuge.
This is how the Aztec Empire in America ended.
The Aztec Empire also belonged to a tribal alliance. The three major tribes controlled countless small tribes. It was also bloody and cruel, and the small tribes had long harbored resentments. The Spanish won the battle, their reputation spread quickly, and they offered some favors, so a large number of tribes took the initiative to join them.
.
One or two hundred Spaniards, with tens of thousands of tribal coalition troops, easily destroyed the Aztecs.
Of course, the Han people were a little different. Deng Youzhang and others were actually busy farming.
While farming, she was also giving birth to children.
One after another, more than 90 Han Chinese mixed-race offspring have been born. There are even a few who married two wives and gave birth to two children on the island. One of them, the eldest wife had twins, and the younger wife gave birth to a daughter, and within half a year
She has three children and brags to everyone about how awesome she is.
The Han people also improved medical and health care. Boiling water was required during delivery, and mothers were required to undergo confinement. Drinking water should not be raw water, it must be boiled before drinking.
In the blink of an eye, the Han people have been on the island for two years.
The population of the "Thunder God Tribe" (over 12 years old) has officially exceeded the one thousand mark. Along the narrow strip of the river valley, it has been reclaimed one after another. Of course, the newly reclaimed land will take several years to take care of it before it becomes more mature.
Be more productive.
Three seaside fishermen villages, a small tribe in the south, and two small tribes in the east, with a total of more than 3,000 people, all swore allegiance to the "Thunder God Ministry". After the rainy season every year, they would send special products as tribute, and they encountered
When attacking, the Han people would send troops to help fight and capture some prisoners to expand the population.
Just when everything was going well, the God King of Boyina tribe personally came with a large army to kill him.
He is the God-King, and his tribe is a tribe of gods, and other tribes of gods are not allowed to exist.
Since many tribes were afraid of the reputation of the "Thunder God", it took more than half a year to force various tribes to jointly send troops through war and diplomacy.
Including slaves, 16,000 troops were dispatched this time, and all the manpower that could be mobilized was mobilized.
The southern tribe loyal to the Han people bore the brunt of the attack. The tribe suffered a devastating disaster. More than half of the men were killed, and most of the rest were made slaves. Only a few dozen people fled to Han villages for help.
"Damn it, it's not over yet!"
Deng Youzhang was so angry that he cursed his mother. He wanted to farm and develop his land with peace of mind, but those damn natives in the south kept coming to interfere with his plan.
He Wenpeng said: "Let's destroy it easily. The Boyina tribe occupies the most fertile land and the conditions are much better than ours. Destroy this army and seize the city. Then move two-thirds of it there
, leaving one third to develop here.”
"Then it will be destroyed!" Deng Youzhang said depressedly.
Neither of them took the indigenous coalition forces seriously. The 16,000-strong army seemed scary, but many tribes were forced to send troops.
These tribes not only sent troops, but also received food. If they lost, it would be theirs, and if they won, there would be no benefit. All the spoils would be taken away by two or three large tribes. When there was a real battle, they would observe the situation and swarm if everything went well.
If you lose, you may choose to defect on the spot.show_htm3();
