Chapter 681 Windora Town

Not long after, a dozen team members came back with the guide sent by the tribe.

Just when the tribesmen thought they must have returned empty-handed.

But I saw that each of them was carrying a big kangaroo.

It can be said to be a full harvest.

The entire kangaroo tribe has never had such a bumper harvest.

The female leader was very shocked. Big kangaroos are alert and timid, and are very difficult to hunt. Otherwise, they would not be hungry all the time.

This time Lu Shun and his party were invited into the tribe.

At this time, if Lu Shun and the others attack, none of these natives will be able to escape.

"Your soldiers are very powerful. Can you exchange some of them with us? We will use women in exchange." The female leader pointed at the Fuso security team members who had just gone out and said.

"No need to exchange, I can give you a few." Lu Shun has no interest in the women of this tribe at all. He has not seen any good-looking ones so far, although the places where these people should be exposed are exposed.

"Are you also a leader?" the female leader asked Lu Shundao.

"Yes, these people all listen to me. Are there any other tribes around your tribe?"

The female leader told Lu Shun that they originally lived in the south, but later a group of white-skinned people riding tall beasts came to slaughter them.

Then they fled to this dry and desolate place.

Lu Shun knew that those people must be English people exiled on the island.

"In this case, I will send ten people to you. How about you surrender to my tribe?" Lu Shun tried to ask.

"We will not surrender to any tribe." The female leader was obviously very angry. Unexpectedly, this foreigner actually wanted them to surrender.

"No, no, no, we won't force you. How can you surrender to us?" Lu Shun said.

"Your warriors are very powerful, but we will not surrender even if we are all killed in battle, unless you can help me kill a hundred of those white people." The female leader said.

Her tribe was originally a large tribe with hundreds of people, but most of them were killed by white people.

Because these white people want their land.

"Okay, I promise you, but you have to send ten soldiers to help us lead the way. We don't know where you originally lived?"

After the two sides discussed it, Lu Shun sent people north to mobilize more people to the fleet. The supplies were pretty good, as the prey here was very abundant.

With people from the kangaroo tribe leading the way, they can easily find the large group of kangaroos.

Lu Shun then settled down in the kangaroo tribe, hunting and making dried meat every day, and only sent a small team back to call for people.

During this period, an interesting thing happened.

A brother named Li Ting is quite majestic.

One day everyone got up and saw that he was unconscious.

It turned out that the man had drunk too much the night before, and several female warriors from his tribe admired him and entered his tent at night.

Several women took turns to fight, and Li Ting fought all night in a daze. When he got up in the morning, he saw several tribal women lying next to him.

Looking at the faces of these people, Li Ting suddenly felt hopeless.

I even have the urge to never touch a woman.

The women of these tribes just saw that he was stronger than the men of the tribe and came to borrow some seeds.

After leaving in the morning, no one gave Li Ting any gifts.

The gift turned out to be gold.

Lu Shun was interested as soon as he saw it.

The natives did not regard the gold as any treasure, but as ordinary decorations.

After asking the female leader, Lu Shun found out that the gold was picked up from some surrounding creeks.

Lu Shun didn't know that a gold rush broke out in the northern part of Australia's big island in the late 19th century.

Anyway, nothing happened, Lu Shun took people to the surrounding streams to investigate the situation, and sure enough, gold sand was found in the river.

This is a big deal, and Lu Shun told everyone to keep it confidential.

Looking back, he will apply with the company to develop on the big island of Australia.

With these gold mines, he believed that he would be able to develop a large branch company in a few years.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Lushun's current location is the northwest of what would later become Queensland.

Although it is not as good as New South Wales on the southeast coast.

But much better than Theo.

However, this area is not suitable for the development of agriculture, especially in the inland areas, where rainfall is too little.

Only a certain scale of animal husbandry can be developed.

However, mineral resources here are relatively rich.

Especially gold mines that can quickly complete primitive accumulation.

More than ten days later, the people sent back to report the incident came back, bringing with them a security team of 300 people.

In this way, Lu Shun had more than 400 people in his hands.

There were more than 100 people left on the merchant ship to protect the safety of the ship.

With these four hundred people, Lu Shun was confident about going south to challenge the white people.

The natives were not good at expressing numbers. Lu Shun did not dare to believe the number of white people the female leader described to him.

So for the sake of safety, he brought all the people he could bring with him.

What surprised Lu Shun was that the female leader, who was covered in red mud, also wanted to go with Lu Shun and the others.

Lu Shun still doesn't know her name yet. It's not that this girl doesn't have a name, it's just that their names are too difficult to pronounce.

Lu Shun didn't even know what Chinese characters to use to translate it.

His own indigenous language is barely communicable.

This time Lu Shun went south not just to help the kangaroo tribe take revenge on the white people.

He has other plans.

On the one hand, Lu Shun was interested in the materials in the hands of these white people. If they established ranches here, they must have cattle, sheep and horses.

The cost of transporting these things from the mainland is still very high.

If Lushun's branch is to open in the future.

Then they must build their own pasture.

Whether you are gold mining or exploration, you need a stable supply of supplies.

The cattle, sheep and horses owned by these white people have been domesticated here for several generations and have almost adapted to the environment here.

On the other hand, if you develop here on the big island of Australia, you will definitely encounter those exiled white criminals in the future.

Now that the kangaroo tribe is leading the way, they can take the initiative.

If we meet again in the future, it may not be who takes the initiative.

Furthermore, as an explorer, Lu Shun also wanted to test the strength of those people.

Exploration is not just exploration and discovery. It is also accompanied by competition and killing.

Those early explorers to the New World didn't just slaughter the indigenous people.

They often rob and kill each other because of their territory and wealth.

This is the normal state of the wilderness, and the gun in your hand is the tool everyone uses to communicate.

Lu Shun formed a team with more than 400 men and a dozen people from the kangaroo tribe and headed south in a mighty manner.

The terrain along the way is similar to that of the kangaroo tribe, mostly dry grasslands with some deserts in between.

Lu Shun also felt the vastness of this place for the first time. He could not see a single person along the way, but there were many animals.

The kangaroo tribe is very capable of tracking prey, and with Lu Shun's muskets, they can easily catch prey.

After eating too much meat, everyone becomes tired and panicked.

It's just that the kangaroo tribe doesn't have food. It only collects some grass seeds.

Those Fusang soldiers and Annan soldiers always ate with gusto. Fusang people rarely had access to meat.

In recent times, they may have eaten more meat than they had in their entire lives.

Everyone admired Lu Shun, the leader, who was generous and never treated his subordinates badly.

Even these security team members recruited from Fuso and Annan were treated favorably by him.

Not only did everyone get their share of women, but their wages were never deducted.

The key is that Lu Shun himself is very good at fighting, and those who are not convinced have already been convinced by him.

"The area ahead is their activity area." Half a month later, Lu Shun and his party came to a valley.

The environment here is very good, with a river with abundant water flowing through the valley.

The land in the valley is flat and the water and grass are abundant. You can see sheep dotted like white spots on the green hillside.

This is the habitat where the kangaroo tribe originally lived for generations. It is indeed a treasure land.

"Take possession of it..." A voice sounded in Lu Shun's heart.

Once we occupy this place, all the land to the north will belong to the company.

Everyone stopped.

"This is the pasture of white people. They must all have horses, but we don't have any horses," Lu Shun said.

"We want to capture this place, but it's best not to let anyone slip away. To the south is what the British call the New South Wales Colony. There are hundreds of thousands of white people there. We can't attract them all."

"Boss Lu, why don't you consider going directly to destroy their settlement at night?" Du Zhengwen suggested.

There is a small town in the valley, built along the river. According to the castrated version of the map in Lu Shun's hand, this may be the northernmost town built by white people.

"The variables are greater at night, and it's easier for someone to miss something."

"Boss, I think it is very difficult to keep them all without leaving any one. It is better to choose the one that is most beneficial to us and reduce the casualties of our brothers."

"How about this? We use the night time to first deal with the surrounding pastures and collect some horses for the brothers, and then go to the town and attack from the front. The people with horses will ambush in the south of the town. It should be possible.

Destroy the opponent as much as possible." Lu Shun thought for a moment and said.

It is too difficult to formulate a perfect plan.

In the end, everyone agreed to implement Lu Shun's final plan.

With the army stationed outside, Lu Shun picked a few Annan people to dress up as kangaroo tribesmen, and went out in pairs with the kangaroo tribesmen to get a feel for the surrounding pastures.

Herdsmen in pastures generally live on their own pastures.

As for the small town in the valley, it is estimated that it is the seat of the colonial management agency, and there are also some workshops that serve the surrounding pastures.

In the colonies, this was a standard collocation pattern.

There are dozens of pastures around the town. If you don't explore them in the evening, you will be blind at night.

At night, the bells in the small town of Windora rang.

Pamela Ibis checked the fence of the sheepfold and returned to her wooden house with a kerosene lamp.

In the wooden house, his wife Veronina Ibis is putting the children to sleep.

Pamela Ibis was born in New South Wales. His father was an exiled criminal, and the same was true for his mother.

Two exiles who had never known each other formed a new family in New South Wales.

But Pamela Ibis was not born to the old Ibis. His mother was already pregnant with him while on the ship.

Almost 80% of female exiles became pregnant on the exile ship.

There are also women who stick to their principles, but it is difficult for such women to reach their destination alive.

It takes more than half a year to sail from the mainland of the Great Yin Empire. There is also a long sea journey without supplies.

His wife is a newcomer. She is from Ireland. There was a great famine in Ireland in recent years. Many people escaped, some of whom were not criminals.

The wife came to New South Wales and brought herself a child.

This earned him a lot of ridicule from others in his hometown of Gosford.

So, Pamela Ibis decided to move.

It happened that the colonial government wanted to develop the Queensland area.

Pamela Ibis and her family became the first white people to enter Queensland.

The family has lived here for more than ten years now, and his wife has helped him give birth to five more children.

The family owns hundreds of hectares of pasture.

They grew some oats, herded sheep, and relied on selling wool to support their families.

To be honest, apart from being relatively desolate, people's lives here are actually pretty good.

At least you don't have to worry about eating.

Even if the food harvest is not good, you can still go hunting around to supplement it.

"Pooh, honey, let's go to bed!"

There was a squawk of geese outside.

Pamela keeps several geese in the barn.

At Christmas time, a roast goose is roasted.

In addition, the geese can also look after the barn.

"My dear, why is the goose croaking?" said Veronina.

"It must be a mouse. I just came back from the barn."

"My dear, please don't go and see me again." My wife was much more cautious than Pamela.

"Okay." Pamela couldn't help his wife. He just saw a ram lying on the body of the ewe.

Suddenly his sexual interest was aroused.

Otherwise, why would he be so anxious to call his wife to go to bed?

Since he wants his wife to cooperate with him later, he can only listen to his wife and go to the barn to check.

Pamela Ibis opened the door of the cabin and went out.

As soon as he stepped out, a sharp bayonet stabbed into his left chest.

Seven or eight Fuso soldiers burst into the room.

A woman's scream and a child's cry instantly came from the wooden house.

After half a night of hard work, dozens of teams sent out by Lu Shun all returned.

They brought back all the captive women and children.

There were also hundreds of horses.

Now Lu Shun and the others no longer need to use their feet to travel.

In the second half of the night, everyone caught up on their sleep, but before it was completely light, everyone got up again.

Lu Shun sent more than a hundred people on horseback to the south of the town to ambush the people who escaped from the town.

Then he led the remaining 300 people to attack the town from the north.

There is only one road in the entire town that runs from north to south.

"Charge!" Lu Shun ordered, and everyone rushed into the town on horseback.

Many of them are riding horses and usually jump off their horses as soon as they arrive in town.

The town is not big, with only a few dozen houses.

Many residents of the town had already woken up before Lu Shun and the others arrived.

There must be quite a lot of commotion with so many people riding horses.

These people were also very tough. They took out their own guns and shot outside through the windows.

Then the security guards outside kicked in the door in groups of three or five and fired a volley of shots at the inside.

There were not even as many people in the town as there were security guards, and soon every house was cleaned.

Almost everyone who lived in the south got on their horses and fled south.

However, they were stopped by Lu Shun's people.

At this point, the entire town of Windora was captured.
