The anger I had held in for so long can finally be vented!
Give those natives some color!
The gunpowder has been dried, the cannons have been removed from the warships, and all crew members who can move have been mobilized. .)
The voyage fleet has made up its mind:
Conquer this unknown island and conquer the Aniwa people!
When the artillery began to be set up, the natives hiding in the woods and rocks were full of curiosity. They didn't know what the "old friends" on the opposite side were doing, so they boldly came out of their hiding places one by one to watch.
The artillery is all set up...
"Teach them a lesson and let them be destroyed!" Poleman, commander-in-chief of the expedition fleet, issued such a call.
"fire--"
The artillery began to roar, and the entire Wuming Island was instantly engulfed in huge and terrifying artillery fire. One after another, the shells were drawn out and fell among the Aniva people who were still watching the excitement and had no idea that the threat of death had arrived.
...
The Aniva people's nightmare begins...
Cannonballs continued to fall among them, setting off huge explosions and flames. Thousands of Aniva people who didn't know how to hide were quickly engulfed by the gunfire.
It was only at this time that they felt fear and fled in all directions, screaming in terror.
It's too late, now I know it's too late to escape...
The artillery bombardment lasted for a long time, and the forest in front of them was almost completely bombarded.
"Mr. Deputy Commander." Poleman was very satisfied with the effect of this bombardment. He said to Chen Dong: "I will give you one hundred and fifty sailors to form an exploration team and go drag out those damn natives.
"
"Yes, I am willing to accept such a task." Chen Dong nodded, and then said to Zhuang Jiugong on the side: "Zhuang Jiugong, I hope you can serve as our guide."
The opportunity for revenge was placed in front of Zhuang Jiugong, and Zhuang Jiugong agreed without hesitation...
The exploration team set off. At this time, they did not realize that they were creating a history of the Ming Empire... nor could they imagine that the names of each of them would be recorded in the history books.
....
The artillery bombardment frightened the Aniwa people. They didn't know how the uninvited guests who landed on the island had the power of gods.
In those eyes, those terrifying things that would shake the earth and spit out fire could only be used by gods.
They were running in all directions, greeting each other in fear, and scrambling to escape from this place. Behind them was the exploration team chasing them leisurely.
There were also Aniwa people who turned around, holding up the spears or spears in their hands, wanting to fight the enemy to the death, but they had just taken a few steps and were shot mercilessly by muskets.
A dozen Aniva people were forced into a desperate situation. In front of them was a huge rock, and behind them were pursuers carrying those "weapons of gods".
They huddled together in despair and fear, and kept making incomprehensible "hehe" sounds from their mouths.
"Get ready!" Chen Dong, who didn't understand what they were saying and didn't bother to understand, gave this order.
More than a dozen muskets were raised and pointed at these Aniva people...
"put!"
When the word Chen Dong was uttered, a gunshot rang out.
More than a dozen Aniva people had no way of resisting. They all fell into a pool of blood...
For the exploration team, this was just a small episode. Under the leadership of Zhuang Jiugong, they quickly arrived in front of the largest tribe of Aniwa people who had once imprisoned Zhuang Jiugong.
There were about a hundred people who looked like Aniva warriors, holding weapons tightly and guarding the entrance of the village.
On each of their chests hung a skull or the teeth of a dead man, and on their waists hung the chopped off and shriveled hands of their enemies.
Chen Dong looked at them coldly...
A fat one, perhaps the chief "ox" that Zhuang Jiugong mentioned, was waving a special spear in his hand or symbolizing power, and was shouting something continuously.
Zhuang Jiugong listened carefully, and then quietly told Chen Dong that that man was their chief "Niu". He was encouraging the bravest warriors in his tribe, telling them that those who came were devils, and the only way to kill them was to eat them.
Only by giving up every piece of flesh on their bodies can they be saved.
Chen Dong smiled faintly...
The Aniva warriors screamed wildly and beat their chests. Perhaps they thought that doing so would bring them strength... Then, they shouted and rushed towards the exploration team.
"Raise your gun—get ready—"
The exploration team's dark guns were aimed at these Aniva warriors...
Chen Dong stared at them coldly... Get closer, get closer...
After those Aniva warriors finally got close enough to shoot without aiming, the most terrifying words finally came out of Chen Dong's mouth:
"put!"
Guns roared and corpses flew everywhere!
Almost in the blink of an eye, nearly half of the Aniva warriors were dead. The rest, obviously shocked by such a terrifying weapon, turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
"Cow" was roaring there, but obviously his roar could no longer have any effect...
In just one round, the Aniva people here were finished.
The exploration team reloaded the gunpowder and then calmly pressed towards the village...
In the records of the exploration team, there was no detailed record of what happened after the invasion of the village. It was simply recorded that the Aniwa people killed their chief "Niu" and then put him to death.
Their heads were presented to the exploration team to express their surrender. As a result, the tribe completely fell into the hands of the expedition fleet...
The conquest of the most primitive tribes by muskets and artillery ended in such an extremely relaxed way. One person of the exploration team died and one was injured during this attack. The casualties of the Aniva people were "unknown".
The remaining Aniwa people regarded these strangers with terrifying weapons as "gods". They knelt down in their village, buried their heads deep in the soil, and did not dare to move. They were afraid of anything.
If you neglect, you will be punished by God.
When Bolaiman and Sun Xiyu arrived, Chen Dong was communicating with a wizard-like person. Chen Dong told his companions that this great wizard represented the entire "Niu" tribe of the Aniwa people.
Express your willingness to obey the will of "gods". As a humble slave of "gods", your descendants will not resist, but you beg "gods" not to use their terrible weapons.
These Aniva people are really scared...
Sun Xiyu suddenly blinked his eyes and called Chen Dong aside: "The Red Barbarians have occupied Batavia, the Ganrasi people have occupied Luzon, and the Folangji people have occupied Malacca. What do you think we should do?"
?”
Chen Dong was startled, then realized: "You mean to include this place within our scope?"
Sun Xiyu nodded...
In fact, when Sun Xiyu made this suggestion, he didn't have any other ideas. He just felt that since the voyage fleet had already paid the price here, it should be controlled.
If this voyage can be successful, when a new voyage comes, this place may also become a supply point...
That's all. His thoughts, that's all...
But this proposal was not only approved by Chen Dong, but also Poleman, who heard the idea later, greatly appreciated it. In the eyes of the Dutchman, this was a matter of course, and they occupied this place. Naturally.
The owner of this unknown island.
A new exploration begins on Unnamed Island!
They must conquer the Aniwa people on the entire island before they can truly claim complete ownership of the island...
The sailors were divided into four exploration teams. Under the leadership of the Aniwa people of the "Niu" tribe, a large number of warriors from the "Niu" tribe were organized and began to "explore" the entire unnamed island.
This took them about twenty days.
Almost all the Aniwa people gave up the courage to continue fighting after only a short period of resistance in the face of the terrifying firearms... no, "god's" weapons.
This group of natives who were completely isolated from the world all chose to surrender without exception. What horrified the exploration team was that they all surrendered in exactly the same way, killing their original chief and taking his head.
Dedicated to new owners...
The Nameless Island was conquered!
Now, a new question is placed in front of the expedition fleet: How to treat the unnamed island after conquering it?
"I propose to leave thirty sailors and equip them with sufficient weapons." Poleman, who has sufficient experience in this regard, put forward his own suggestion: "After the conquered natives, unless they reach extreme circumstances, they
Thirty sailors who won't resist and have enough weapons can handle most emergencies."
Chen Dong and Sun Xiyu discussed quietly for a while, and they all agreed with Captain Poleman's proposal...
A flag with the word "明" written on it was raised on Wuming Island.
This may be the first flag raised by the Ming Empire overseas, which means that the Ming Dynasty already has all the rights to this small island!
At this time, they did not have the concept of "colony" in their minds, but Wuming Island had truly become an overseas colony of the Ming Empire in the true sense!
When the flag of the Ming Dynasty was raised, Chen Dong and Sun Xiyu were surprised to see countless Aniwa people kneeling on the ground, muttering something in their mouths...
Zhuang Jiugong told them that this was the Aniwa people expressing their respect and fear. At least in the next few years, they would no longer have to worry about the Aniwa people here rebelling.
Thirty sailors who voluntarily stayed were placed on the Unnamed Island and shouldered the responsibility of ruling the island. The person commanding these people was Zheng Jun, and his assistant was Pang, who was missing an arm and was still recovering.
Teman and Zhuang Jiugong were temporarily left here to serve as their interpreters.
Originally, Chen Dong was interested in Kong Hua, but Kong Hua was determined to be with the fleet. Chen Dong and Sun Xiyu didn't know that Kong Hua actually had another mission...
.
"Sir, please give this island a name." An excited Zheng Jun came over and said.
Sun Xiyu thought for a moment: "Since it was our voyage fleet that first discovered and conquered this island, let's call it 'Yuanhang Island'..."
The first overseas colony of the Ming Empire - "Yuanhang Island" was born!
Sun Xiyu then asked: "Zheng Jun, how should you govern this place?"
"If the Aniwa people obey, then everyone will be in peace; if they don't obey, kill them!" Zheng Jun answered without any hesitation.
"No, you are wrong." Sun Xiyu shook his head: "You are few, there are tens of thousands of Aniva people, and thirty people rule tens of thousands, dangers are everywhere. Remember, the reinforcements from the brigade have not arrived.
In the past, we should focus on stabilizing the local area. We could turn a blind eye to small matters. If someone conspired to rebel, only the culprit would be punished..."
Speaking of this, he whispered again: "There is also a trick to bridge the sentence, which is to bribe some people in the Aniva tribe, divide some people, and use the Aniva people to install spies among the Aniva people to control their every move.
Yidong knows everything, and we should give these informants generous rewards..."
He spoke very carefully, and Zheng Jun also listened very carefully.
After Sun Xiyu finished explaining everything, Zheng Jun nodded vigorously: "Sir, I have written it all down. Don't worry, whatever you looked like when you left, you will definitely look like you when you come back...
only......"
He hesitated for a moment: "Sir, when will you come back?"
Chen Dong was silent for a while: "I'm not sure. I think it could be a year at most or a few months at least...Chen Dong, no matter when we come back, we can't lose Yuanhang Island."
"Don't worry, sir!" Zheng Jun said with high spirits.
Ponteman came over at this time: "Chen, my friend, are you worried? If these damn natives make any move, I will chop off their heads one by one."
"Pangteman, if anything happens, listen to Zheng Jun and don't be impulsive." Chen Dong patted Ponteman and said, "Recuperate here well. I will come to pick you up when the time comes."
"Hey, please leave some wine for me." Ponteman suddenly thought of this very important thing and shouted out: "I don't believe there is any good wine on this damn island."
"I'll leave you a lot of wine, a lot of wine." Chen Dong smiled and agreed.
At this time, he turned his head and discovered what Sun Xiyu was looking at. He followed Sun Xiyu's eyes and saw clearly that he was looking at the big flag flying in the wind:
bright!
That is the flag of Ming Dynasty, and this place will be the land of Ming Dynasty from now on!
