  Chapter 750 747 [The evolution history of the island owner 2]

  Deng Youzhang has doctors and carpenters under his command.

  Carpenters are especially valued, and several aboriginal orphans were given to carpenters as apprentices.

  The various tools of the carpenter come from the ship. As long as there are enough people and enough wood, another dock can be built, and the boat can even be repaired. Because the carpenter on board was originally responsible for repairing and maintaining the ship, so that the severely damaged ship could sail to the nearest shipyard.

  With the efforts of carpenters, they have produced plows, and plowing has evolved from human power to animal power.

  Unfortunately, there is no blacksmith, and there is no iron ore nearby. The plowshare can only be ground with stones, and the chain is easy to fall off when plowing.

  Transportation tools, also because of the existence of carpenters, made more than a dozen wheelbarrows.

  A hundred troops set off, and more than a hundred civilians helped to transport food. Most of these folk husbands are indigenous women, and the lack of manpower can only be arranged in this way.

   Stopped and stopped for more than ten days, and was about to approach the target, Deng Youzhang ordered to stop the march.

   It wasn't until night fell that all the staff set out again in black, each carrying several simple torches.

  This semi-nomadic tribe is relatively large, with an estimated population of nearly a thousand. They live by a small river, and many crops are planted on both sides.

  The house is similar to a yurt, with wood as a support, and then cow and sheep skins are draped on it. On top of the cow and sheep skin, some hay was spread to prevent the skin from being exposed to direct sunlight.

  Livestock are locked in pens after dark, all in the open air, only fenced with wood.

  The treatment of slaves is similar to that of cattle and sheep, but at least they have a roof to protect them from the rain.

   Half of the one hundred troops and more than one hundred grain transporters crossed the river downstream.

  The river is very shallow, only reaching the waist, and you can walk across it.

  These semi-nomadic natives were defenseless at night, and they all fell asleep, not even knowing that the intruders lit the torches.

  The soldiers held up the torches and touched it, while the civilian husband stayed on the periphery, and inserted the extra torches that were lit on the ground at intervals.

   "Boom boom boom!"

  In the silent night, bursts of drums suddenly sounded.

  Deng Youzhang cursed in a low voice: "Damn, these aborigines are so stupid, they agreed to set fire to the house and then beat the drum!" He didn't care much, and said to the herald beside him, "Blow the horn and attack!"

  More than a dozen indigenous people beat the leather drums used for dancing.

  The rest of the natives, each holding torches in both hands, stood outside, waving and shouting, and a large number of torches were burning on the nearby ground.

  Han soldiers held torches and screamed to kill them. When they got close to the house, they lit the fire and quickly ignited the hay covered on the outside.

  The tribe native who was attacked suddenly woke up from his dream, and hurriedly ran outside the house with a weapon. They saw many torches all around, shouts came from all sides, and several houses in the village were also on fire.

  Cowardly, take your family and run away in panic.

  Brave people raise their weapons and charge indiscriminately, not even knowing where to fight.

  The one hundred Han soldiers were divided into four teams, and they set fire to the houses in an orderly manner, and immediately cooperated with the attack when encountering the enemy.

   In order to save gunpowder, guns were not used.

  Purely relying on strategy and organizational strength is enough. It is obvious that less is used to fight more. When it comes to local battlefields, there are always more than a dozen Han soldiers joining forces to surround and kill a few aboriginals.

  The aborigines were killed and fled in all directions. They didn't know where there were enemies, so they relied entirely on instinct and ran towards the direction without torches.

  Busy in the middle of the night, the sky is getting brighter.

  Night raids of this level can be used to attack Tartars, let alone a group of natives. None of the Han soldiers, including the aborigines, were injured.

   But this tribe of nearly a thousand people was crushed and defeated, and most of them fled in the dark.

   Captured 153 women, 26 men, 82 children, and rescued 74 male and female slaves. The grain seized was not much, but there were more than 1,700 cattle and sheep, and two bronze spears were also seized.

   "Do you want to take the captive man back? I'm afraid there is a hidden danger of rebellion." He Wenpeng asked.

  Deng Youzhang said: "I can't let it go, can I?"

He Wenpeng said: "The Datong army is not allowed to kill prisoners. Even here, some rules can't be broken. Once the rules are broken, people's hearts will not be easy to gather. Sooner or later we will become like Tartars. Today's night attack is already very brutal. If you have no grudges or grievances, come to arrest people and rob food, we will soon become bandits."

  Deng Youzhang sighed and said: "Brother He, do you think I want to be a bandit? There are barbarians everywhere here, and our people are few, so we must grow up as soon as possible."

He Wenpeng was silent for a while, and breathed out a dirty breath: "I understand the truth of what you said. How about this, the more than 20 men who were captured, all cut off their right thumbs, and left them here to fend for themselves. It's up to them whether they can survive luck."

   All around were the cries of indigenous women, which upset He Wenpeng.

  Deng Youzhang led the army back to the village after driving the looted cattle and sheep, slaves, women and children.

  The slaves were declared free, and those who had no spouse could still find the opposite **** to marry in the village. As for the land, they can only continue to open up wasteland, anyway, they will be taught how to farm.

  As for the captive women and children, the children were taken away by each family. If the child has a mother, the mother will also be taken away together. The rest of the women were placed in a centralized place, and they were not allowed to move freely in the short term.

  Deng Youzhang sat alone by the river, looking at the sunset in despair.

  He is also very uncomfortable with this situation, always feeling that he has become a bandit. Moreover, his pressure is greater than others, because he is the leader here.

   "I have to find something to do, or I'm going crazy." Li Luosheng came behind him at some point.

   Deng Youzhang asked: "What do you want to do?"

Li Luosheng said with a smile: "I graduated from elementary school, and I have a diploma. I want to build a school, and I don't need classrooms, and I don't need pens and paper. I just call the children every day, teach them to read, write and calculate accounts, and give me a balance. Just a vacant lot."

  Deng Youzhang said: "That's a good idea. I don't want my children to talk like birdsong all day long."

  During this year, the Han people and the aborigines interacted with each other, and both learned each other's daily language. Even the dumbest aborigines can say words such as "Have you eaten", "Come here", "Plowing the fields", "Mazu", "Married".

  Li Luosheng continued: "It's not an option for us to plunder the population like this. Moreover, this place is not suitable for building a city. We need to find a better place."

   There are better places, and they are found quickly.

   But there is already a master there!

  A large river flowing from the plateau forms a good natural harbor at the mouth of the sea. Many tribes settled along the river, the delta washed out by the river, and even an indigenous city appeared—that was the capital of the Boyna Kingdom, and it could also be said to be the residence of the Boyna tribe, nearly a month away from the Han people’s village .

  Boyna Kingdom is a tribal alliance.

  The Boyna tribe is the most powerful, and the rest of the tribes swear an oath to surrender, and pay tribute to the leader regularly. It is also a three-level ruling system, with nobles, commoners and slaves. The slaves are all captured in the northern grasslands.

  The nomads on the island are very miserable. They can't grow any food, and they don't have the magic weapon of cavalry. They have always been bullied by the farming people.

"It has been found out that there are many tribes living along the big river in the south. Near the sea, there is a big tribe by the river, and they have built a city wall of earth and stone. The city wall is not much higher than a person, but there are many indigenous people, so they have to use firearms. Row."

   "On the way back, I met another tribe. This tribe was very friendly, did not attack us, and exchanged gifts with us."

   "This tribe can make friends and develop into our affiliate."

  The gift exchanged this time is another bad thing.

  The tribal leader took the cotton cloth and ran to the Boyna tribe to pay tribute, asking for a reduction in this year's grain tribute after the cotton cloth was donated.

  The leader of the Boyna tribe, or the king of the Boyna Kingdom, was very happy to see the cotton cloth, so he asked about the source of the cotton cloth, and soon found out the location of the Han village.

  The king thought that cotton cloth was a local specialty of Han villages, so he immediately dispatched 500 troops, led by his own son.

   It’s not that they want to destroy the villages of the Han people, but they intend to conquer this place and let the Han people pay tribute to cotton cloth every year.

  Five hundred troops came in mighty force, all using copper weapons. Along the way, hundreds of tribal servants were also recruited. When they arrived at the Han village, their strength exceeded a thousand. In addition, there were hundreds of slaves, all of whom were transporting grain and serving as auxiliary soldiers, using wooden spears as weapons.

  These slaves are very obedient, they have been raised for several generations, and they are hereditary slaves who can have families.

  Prince named Haru, wearing a suit of leather armor, with a copper dagger on his waist, the main weapon is a copper spear with a wooden handle.

  And the decoration is extremely exaggerated, the helmet is also inserted with colorful feathers, just like a peacock with its tail open, and it is not afraid of becoming the target of the battlefield.

   Walking to the river valley a few miles away from the Han village, suddenly thick smoke billowed from the top of the mountain.

   "Is there a mountain fire?" Prince Haru was very confused, and he didn't know what wolf smoke was.

  He continued to advance with the troops, while Deng Youzhang was already blowing the trumpet to gather troops, and all the men rushed back from the farmland.

  Deng Youzhang was very depressed. He still planned to hide in the ravine to farm. He never thought that he would provoke enemies out of nowhere.

  A wooden wall has been built on the outskirts of the village, which is actually a wooden fence to guard against wild animals.

  Sent forty people to go around the mountain to ambush, Deng Youzhang led the remaining soldiers to guard the village, and the three artillery pieces brought from the boat were also dragged out.

  Prince Haru led troops to the outside of the village, but instead of attacking immediately, he sent someone over to shout.

"We are the army of the God King. Under the sky and within the land, it is the land of the God King. You must be loyal to the God King. Immediately hand over ten men and ten women as slaves loyal to the God King. And this Planting cloth...every time you go through the rainy season, you have to hand over enough cloth as a tribute of allegiance to the **** king..."

   This guy talked a lot, some special terms, Deng Youzhang couldn't understand at all.

  The man finally said: "If you don't obey the rule of the **** king, your village will be burned, your men will be killed, and your women will be captured!"

  Deng Youzhang realized that the other party had finished speaking and did not reveal anything more, so he smacked his lips and said, "Let's fire."

   (Thanks to Captain Jagged Banner for the reward, alas, it’s hard to say, I’m also very sad.)
