On July 10, 1918, the vanguard regiment of the Huben Division of the National Revolutionary Army occupied Chengmai without much resistance!
Nasu, the local indigenous cave owner in Chengmai, fled.
According to the previous deployment, the Huben Division did not pursue him. Instead, when he fled, he split his troops into two and forced them to Yamaguchi and Fushan respectively.
As a result, the entire Nassau tribe's connection was severed.
When Wang Hengyue entered Chengmai, he immediately started the work of calming the people and pacifying the local area. The captured Nasu tribe armed men were quickly released after a simple interrogation and their weapons were confiscated.
The mood of the people began to calm down, and the National Revolutionary Army was by no means as scary as the previous legends said!
Wang Yuyue made it clear to everyone with a high profile: he was only here to conquer Long Jiguang in the name of the military government, not to deal with the locals! Anyone who has a friendly attitude towards the National Revolutionary Army, the Kuomintang
The [Revolutionary] Army also responded with kindness!
In this way, people's hearts become much more peaceful.
One after another, fleeing Nasu tribe armed men began to return with weapons and surrender. Wang Hengyue kept his promise, and after registering the names of these people, they were all properly arranged.
In fact, these so-called "armed personnel" did not pose any threat to Wang Hengyue's army. In addition to the rifles provided by the army's Long Jiguang, most of the weapons they used also used primitive weapons such as bows, arrows and broadswords.
Perhaps the only ones with some fighting power are Nasu and his bodyguards who are still on the run. Wang Hengyue is waiting patiently, waiting for Nasu to come out!
Without the home of Chengmai, Nasu will not be able to hold on for long!
Wang Hengyue firmly remembered what Gui Guangtang said to him: If there are all the people with hoes, there will be fewer people with guns!
A large number of agricultural tools were urgently transported from Guangdong. In fact, there was a period in history before this, when Qiongzhou's agricultural economy was still developing very well. However, with the increase of rebellions, local agriculture was severely damaged, and this formed
A vicious cycle: the more people are hungry, the more people dare to rebel!
What Wang Hengyue did gradually began to make the locals in Chengmai feel less fearful and more friendly.
These people from the National Revolutionary Army not only did not drink human blood and eat people's hearts as previously advertised, but they also behaved very friendly. There might not necessarily be anything bad if they were the ones governing the place.
"If you are afraid of being handsome, take Chengmai and attack Haikou."
"No rush." Looking at Huang Zixuan, Wang Hengyue's attention was all focused on the young man climbing up the coconut tree: "Long Jiguang's army is easy to deal with, but dealing with Nasu is a little more difficult. Haikou can be pacified in a day and night.
, places like Chengmai need to invest more energy. Hey, [be careful..."
When the young man climbed down halfway, he seemed to have lost his footing, but in fact he fell down from the tree nimbly.
"What a skill, amazing!" Wang Hengyue said with a thumbs up.
The young man from the Li ethnic group chopped open the coconut and said, "Generalissimo, please try it."
Wang Hengyue drank up the coconut juice in one go and praised it profusely. Just as he was about to throw it away, the young man hurriedly took it over and cut it open while saying: "Generalissimo, the coconut meat can also be eaten." "[Young man, what's your name?"
"Wang Hengyue took a piece of coconut meat and took a bite.
"Ale" "Ale? Good name, good name." Wang Hengyue patted his belly: "This coconut is really good. You can drink it when you are thirsty and eat it when you are hungry. Let's go and have a look at your house."
A Le was startled for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed: "Generalissimo, my family is very poor." "A very poor family?" Wang Hengyue said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? How can any child think that his family is poor?"
A Le then took the Generalissimo and his entourage to his home not far away.
The houses that the Li people in Qiongzhou live in are very unique, a kind of boat-shaped house.
When Ah Le's grandma saw the guests coming, she didn't know who the general marshal or the little marshal was. She just thought they were friends that Ah Le Xin recognized. She warmly invited them to sit down and even brought corn wine to entertain them.
"This house is beautiful.
Wang Hengyue found a stool and sat down: "Auntie, I heard that whichever of your houses has a bigger house has more people, more land, more money, right?"
"No." Ale's mother, who was making clay pots there, smiled and said, "This is a treasure left to us by our ancestor Princess Danya."
Ye Baoer, who came in with him, suddenly became interested: "Auntie, tell us." Ale's mother smiled and said: "That is to say, you outsiders don't know. In ancient times, there were no people here. When Emperor Dayu was in power,
, there is a country in the South China Sea, and the king has a princess named Danya. She married three husbands, and all three husbands died one after another. The fortune teller said that she was a broom star who descended to earth, ruined her family, and perished in her country.
The city was full of storms, people were panicking, and they all begged for Princess Danya to be executed. But at this time, Princess Danya was already pregnant, and the king couldn't bear to do anything, so he prepared a rudderless boat in the morning when the north wind blew...
Together with some wine and food, as well as a mountain knife and three kilograms of grain seeds, they put Princess Danya on the boat. A little yellow dog raised by Princess Danya also followed the boat. [The boat drifted into the vast sea in the wind.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Princess Danya’s ship ran aground on the shore of a desert island. She saw the mountains in the distance and groups of monkeys walking carefree through the forest.
, all the melancholy and fear suddenly disappeared. After feasting on hares and bird eggs, Princess Danya settled down on this desert island. In order to avoid wind and rain and defend against the invasion of wild beasts, Princess Danya cut and erected several wooden stakes on the beach.
Then she turned the boat upside down on the wooden piles to use as a roof, and cut thatch around to surround it. She had her own home. During the day, she took her little yellow dog up the mountain to hunt wild animals and collect wild fruits. At night, she slept in the houseboat, [
The little yellow dog loyally guarded the door. Later, when the ship's planks were rotten, she cut the thatch to cover the roof, and from then on we had the boat-shaped house we lived in."
Wang Hengyue and Ye Baoer listened with great interest. When Ale Ma finished speaking, Wang Hengyue couldn't help but sigh a few times: "Every nation has its own origin, and it is no exception wherever you go. Auntie, who has the biggest house here?"
"Of course it belongs to Mr. Nasu." Ale's mother said without thinking: "Mr. Nasu's house is the biggest and has the most land. But I heard that someone named Wang came here.
The master just ran away. Well, it’s okay if he ran away, at least it gave us a few days of peace and quiet.”
"Mom." A Le quietly pulled his mother and said, "This is the Generalissimo named Wang."
The movement of Alema's hand suddenly stopped, she was stunned, and stood up in a panic: "Master, I, I didn't know you were
"Auntie, sit down, your son Ale and I are good friends." Wang Hengyue said nonchalantly.
A Le's mother sat down carefully, feeling a little at a loss. Wang Hengyue comforted her with a few words of comfort: "Master, don't worry, I don't eat human flesh, and I don't drink human blood. The taste is not as good as the coconut that A Le invited me to eat.
"
A Le and his mother couldn't help laughing.
Wang Hengyue drank the corn wine and said, "Auntie, I'm here to fight Long Jiguang, not to harass you.
Just now you said that Nasu ran away and you could live in peace for a few days, what's going on?"
A Le's mother was timid and didn't dare to say that A Le was a junior after all. She was much more courageous: "Generalissimo, you don't know that Mr. Nasu's family has been managing this place. He is very fierce. If you disobey his orders, you will be punished."
They would be whipped and thrown into the sea, and some would have rocks tied to their bodies and drowned alive. We had to give him most of our food, and he would force us to go to the bottom of the sea to dig for pearls. Every year
Too many people died for this
Tong Le's words were a little confusing, his tone was urgent, and he wanted to tell everything he knew. A Le's mother was frightened next to her. What if Mr. Nasu came back and heard these words?
But Wang Hengyue completely understood that Nasu's rule here was not as stable as he had imagined. In fact, he was just a local tyrant here.
A Le said with interest: "Later, when Long Jiguang came, Mr. Nasu became even more proud. He often said that with Long Jiguang's gun behind him, he was not afraid of anyone. But after the generalissimo came, he
He ran away immediately."
Wang Hengyue laughed "haha": "It seems that your Nasu master is not very courageous either!"
"He dares to bully us!" A Le said angrily: "If I had a gun in my hand, I would have had sex with him long ago!"
Seeing Ale's mother's pale face, Wang Hengyue said: "Auntie, don't be afraid. Even if Nasu comes back, I will support you. What kind of trouble can a small rich man really make?"
"Generalissimo" A Le said cautiously: "You have beaten Long Jiguang away, are you still leaving?"
"I'm not leaving." Wang Hengyue answered very neatly: "We are going to set up a civil affairs envoy here to manage Qiongzhou. Why did everyone keep rebelling before? Because they didn't have enough to eat and were about to starve to death. If only you, Ale, could
Now that you are full and you still have some spare money in your hands, tell yourself, will you rebel?"
Ale smiled naively: "No, if this is the case, why would I do such a stupid thing?"
"So, I also want to sit still." Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "I protect you and let you have enough to eat. You don't rebel anymore. I have been sitting here for a long time. You
Isn’t this the truth?”
A Le nodded vigorously. Isn't this the truth in the world?
Huang Zixuan hurriedly walked in, glanced at the people in the room, and whispered: "Heng Shuai, I just got the news that my second regiment surrounded Nasu this morning."
