"Grandma, I see that the people of Ming Dynasty will not give up. Should we gather all our soldiers?"
King Marlow asked Miral.
Miral nodded, "Tarob, you quickly send people to inform the clan chiefs and elders of each community, asking them to bring young people to the highlands to gather. In addition, write a letter to the chiefs of the Ketagalan and Gaoshan tribes, asking them to
Join us and defend our ancestral land.
The Ming Dynasty established prefectures and counties in Taiwan, which weakened the power passed down from generation to generation by the elders of various ethnic groups. The chiefs were very dissatisfied. They just shot the first bird and no one dared to take the lead in making trouble.
Now, King Dadu, who has a large number of people, is taking the lead in making trouble, and other tribes have become bolder. Duoya, the chief of the Ketagalan tribe, and Balong, the chief of the Gaoshan tribe, responded. In the Dadu Kingdom, there are eleven Bazehai tribes
Village communities, six of the Babula tribe, four of the Maowusi tribe, four of the Hongya tribe, and two of the Daukas tribe, all raised the flag of rebellion.
Because of a casual decree from Emperor Guangwu, the vigorous Taiwanese aboriginal rebellion began.
For a time, everything from Taipei to Taichung was in turmoil, and even several Hongya villages south of Wuxi, which had always obeyed Wang Hua, were ready to move.
Warriors from all ethnic groups gathered more than ten thousand soldiers and horses to the north of Wuxi.
Wuxi, located in the Dadu Mountain area, was named Wuxi because black gravel was often washed down after heavy rains. In later generations, it had a resounding name: Zhuoshui Creek, which was the dividing line between the blue and green camps.<
/p>
Marlow and the marshals of the five tribes of the Dadu Kingdom, Tarrob, Adegorang, Balai, Tusa, and Awa, inspected the Wuxi defense line. There were over ten thousand soldiers and horses, boundless.
Warriors of all ethnic groups planted wooden fences and built wooden walls by the stream, and prepared a large number of stones. The warriors patiently sharpened their hunting knives and spears, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army.
Marlow asked Talbot with some worry: "Stepfather, do you think the Ming army can cross Wuxi?"
Taro Rob laughed loudly: "Don't worry, my king, what the red-haired ghost can't do, the people of the Ming Dynasty can't do it either!"
??
The Dutch have indeed never been able to cross Wuxi.
After they drove away the Spanish and conquered northern Taiwan, they wanted to connect Taipei and Tainan together, so they set their sights on the aborigines in the plains and mountains of the central and western regions.
In 1644, Dutch Captain Piter Boon led an army from North Holland City (Keelung) from north to south on an expedition to Taipei. The unyielding aboriginal people in Taichung attempted to open up a road from North Holland City to Relandja City (Anping Ancient Town).
Fort) transportation lines.
He first conquered the Ketagalan tribe in Taipei, and then went south to attack the Dadu Kingdom, but was severely defeated by the powerful Babra warriors of the Dadu Kingdom.
In 1645, the unwilling Captain Peter went south again. This time he severely damaged the Babula people and swept away thirteen villages of the Bazehai, Babula, Maowuzi, Hongya, and Daokas tribes.
Society. However, the Kingdom of Dadu did not surrender. The rolling green mountains were hundreds of miles long. Under the leadership of King Ganziha Alami, they launched an arduous guerrilla war with the Dutch.
As time passed, Captain Peter couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to accept the coordination of the priest and signed a peace agreement with Alami. The Kingdom of Dadu expressed its surrender to the Netherlands, participated in the local meetings of the Dutch, paid some symbolic taxes, and allowed the Dutch to pass
Their territory. However, they are only allowed to pass through, they are not allowed to settle, they are not allowed to spread Christianity, and they are not even allowed to carry a Dutch translator.
The Dutch call the territory of the Dadu Kingdom the third district. In fact, this third district has always been independent.
From the beginning to the end, the Dutch army attacked Dadufan from north to south. The Dutch army never crossed Wuxi in the south, but caravans often passed by.
??
Dozens more canoes, carrying more than 200 Hongya warriors, landed north of Wuxi. They came from Pingpu Village in the central part of the country.
I heard that the Chinese want to set up prefectures and counties in Taiwan. How can this be done? From now on, will the people of all ethnic groups listen to their clan leaders and elders, or to the magistrates and county magistrates? King Dadu raised the flag of righteousness, and the warriors from each village and community came to the clan leaders and elders one after another.
Under the leadership of the police, they rushed to the north of Wuxi and soon exceeded 10,000 people.
"Okay, okay!"
Enjun Hou Gao Minggui put down his telescope and laughed.
"Commander, you have always prevented the general from attacking. Now that the enemies are gathering more and more, you are applauding. Why is this?"
General Wang Daxiong asked strangely. He was originally a guerrilla because he had made great achievements in defeating the Red Mao Yi people and was a newly promoted general.
"Haha, what do you know? Taiwan is full of mountains. How long will it take to suppress rebellions one by one? Where can we get so much money and food? Just wait until all the tribes in the mountains gather north of Wuxi and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
In other words, this is called getting twice the result with half the effort!"
Wang Daxiong suddenly realized, "The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief, tall, really tall!"
Gao Minggui waited patiently for a few days, until no more mountain warriors were seen, before ordering the attack.
On November 8, the second year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Wuxi, or the Wuxi Massacre, began.
Nine thousand Ming troops launched an attack on 15,000 allied troops of various ethnic groups.
First, heavy artillery was used to clear wooden walls and fences, plowing passages for the army; then snowflake-like shotshells fell on the coalition forces, and wherever the shells hit, there were all broken limbs; the Ming army's small boats landed in the smoke, and the troops lined up
Formation, advancing along the plowed channel; arrows and bullets rained down on the coalition forces.
Most of the coalition troops wore animal skins, and only a few wore rattan armor. Their defense was very low, and they did not use firecrackers. Even the projectiles of bows and arrows caused a large number of casualties to them.
Ming generals Wang Daxiong, Gao Ling, and Yang Zu attacked them separately, and the coalition army was defeated. Balai, the commander of the Maowuzi tribe, Tusa, the commander of the Hongya tribe, and Awa, the commander of the Daokas tribe, all died in the army;
King Ma Luo of the Dudu tribe led the Bazehai tribe to conquer Ta Luobo, and the Babul tribe conqueror Ade Gourang fled back to Dadushe; Balong, the leader of the Gaoshan tribe, saw that the situation was not good and led hundreds of remaining Gaoshan tribesmen.
The warrior escaped into the mountains in the middle.
The Ming army was overwhelmingly powerful and successively captured Shalushe, Douwei Longanshe, Puli, and Shuilishe, cutting off Dadushe's escape route into Gaoshanman.
"Commander, let's attack." Generals Wang Daxiong, Gao Ling, and Yang Zu were all eager to fight.
"There's no rush," Gao Minggui laughed. "When 'Chen Dadao' captures the Shengang Shrine to the west of the Big Belly Terrace, the Big Belly King will be unable to fly."
The Ming army to counter the rebellion was divided into two groups. On the southern line was the 9,000-strong main force led by Gao Minggui, who fought from south to north, attacking Dadufan and Gaoshanman; on the northern line was the 3,000-strong partial force led by General Chen Ze.
Fight from north to south, attack the territory of the Ketagalan tribe, and then go south to Shengangshe, west of Datushe, and surround Datushe.
Chen Ze is good at wielding a broadsword. He has 300 troops under his command, each holding a broadsword, and is known as "Chen Dadao". Because of his repeated military exploits in the battles of Weidao on the Northern Front and Relanzha City, "Chen Dadao" has now been promoted from guerrilla to military personnel.
That's it.
Especially in the Battle of Wei Island on the northern front, he was brave and resourceful, and killed Bedel, the most powerful red-haired barbarian general. The news spread to Nanjing, and Zhu Hengjia was very happy and gave him a brocade robe. Although Emperor Guangwu liked to give it to generals.
The brocade robes are famous, but most of them are high-ranking generals such as dukes, marquises, uncles, admirals, and generals. They give brocade robes to a small guerrilla. This is unprecedented and unique for the Ming army. p>
Chen Ze carefully wiped his forty-pound sword with a cloth. The blade was still dripping with blood. Not far away, two bloody heads were very eye-catching. One was that of Doya, the leader of the Ketagalan tribe.
The other one belongs to Shalu, the elder of Kamioka Shrine.
"Report to the commander-in-chief," Chen Ze said calmly while wiping his knife, "our army has captured Shengangshe, sealing off the way for Dadufan to escape westward."
??
The shape of a big-bellied mountain looks like a high city with hundreds of pheasants from afar."
This sentence means that when viewed from a distance, Dadu Mountain looks like a city three hundred feet long (a city three hundred feet long and one foot high is a pheasant in ancient times). The terrain is steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Unfortunately, most of Dadufan's elite soldiers have been buried on the north bank of Wuxi River, and there are only a thousand warriors left in the city. No matter how dangerous the city is, it is useless without soldiers to defend it.
Miral's back became hunched. When the news of Wuxi's defeat came, her back became hunched, and she no longer had the same energy as before. She stared at Marlow, Taro Luo, and Adegou Rang, and said: "If you lose, you will be hunched."
We are defeated, surrender to the Ming army."
When I heard that I wanted to surrender, the Marquis of Enping, Gao Minggui, readily agreed.
As soon as the envoy left, Gao Minggui called the generals and ordered: "After you enter the city, no matter men, women, old or young, all of them will be slaughtered."
The generals were surprised and asked: "Commander, why is this happening? Since the enemy has surrendered, we can just kill the culprits, so why massacre the city?"
Gao Minggui said with a ferocious smile: "To govern troubled times, heavy rules are used. Although the Dadu Fan has been pacified, there are still countless high mountain barbarians in the vast mountains of Taiwan. If you don't be ruthless and set an example, those high mountain barbarians will not surrender and the war will begin.
It will be difficult to end the war. I will end the war with killing."
The rest of the generals did not dare to say anything, but Chen Ze refused to accept it and said angrily: "If the commander wants to massacre the city, he should not allow him to surrender. Having agreed to surrender and then slaughtering him again, it would be a breach of trust. I'm proud of you."
China, how can we do this unkind and unjust thing?"
Gao Minggui was furious: "As the commander-in-chief of an army, I only consider how to obtain the greatest results with the least casualties. I don't care about benevolence, justice and morality. This is a military order, so don't say more. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Chen Ze was depressed and did not dare to disobey the military order, so he had to order his troops to enter the city last.
Soon, the wooden city of Dadushe was ablaze with flames. The Ming army massacred Dadufan, and only six people escaped.
Hearing that the Ming army massacred Dadu She, the leader of the Gaoshan clan, Balong, was so frightened that he led the Gaoshan tribes out of the mountains and accepted the imperial government's arrangement of households for the people.
"The Chronicles of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty": Gaoming Gui slaughtered the Dadu Society, leaving only six people. On the tenth day, Gaoshanman surrendered.
