Jinyi champion

Chapter 1075 Change starts from the root

The battlefield is cleaned up.

None of the invading Francoids were left alive, and there were only three or four hundred natives who were sent to deliver supplies, and the rest were either killed by bombing or hacked to death by angry tribesmen.

Three or four hundred surviving natives will be taken as "trophies" and escorted to the new city, where they will engage in some basic work such as logging and mining.

The captives captured on the battlefield cannot obtain the power of the good natives, and they need to work to atone for their sins.

But this group of people did not resist, even if most of their companions died, the problem is...they have become accustomed to death under the butcher knife of European colonists over the years, where is death not death?
Now the Ming army is engaged in an annexation with the European colonists, and they are nothing more than fish in a pond that was affected by the fire at the city gate.

"I've searched everywhere, but I didn't find a single one who escaped... Those Frang robots probably never imagined that they were killed by shells before they formally fought with us, right?"

Lu Bing led the cavalry and came back after cleaning the battlefield, full of ambition.

For Lu Bing, the battle in front of him has at least looked a little better, and he has put a lot of effort into preparing for the battle. If he is facing a group of natives who are fighting with you with stones...it feels completely different!
The European colonists had nothing else. They were equipped with ordinary iron swords, guns, and cannons, but their firearms were all ordinary arquebus guns. If they were to say that they threatened the Ming army, they were the Franc machine guns. So Zhu It's impossible for Hao to let them approach his own position, otherwise he will be fired... His men will be reduced.

Zhu Hao instructed: "In the next few days, the enemy's spies are likely to come over to spy on the intelligence. We must not let them discover our truth. We must take down all their spies... This is also to delay the time for the next battle. efforts made."

Lu Bing asked worriedly: "Does it mean that they will bring tens of thousands of soldiers when they come next time?"

"will not!"

Zhu Hao shook his head, "Tens of thousands is absolutely impossible, and it is impossible for them to have tens of thousands of people together. They can call out five or six hundred people at a time... This is the limit. It is very likely that they will not even reach this number."

"Five or six hundred?"

Lu Bing was stunned after hearing this.

We have to defend against everything, just to defend against five or six hundred enemy troops?
It's fine if they are really powerful, are the weapons they use more advanced than ours?The combat power is as good as scum, and the number is not as good as ours, so you still want to fight us?

Zhu Hao explained the stakes and stakes to the "Second General Humha" beside him in a stern tone: "Our enemies can continuously send troops from their homeland, and their ships are not counted by dozens, but by thousands. Even tens of thousands, their ambitions will never be satisfied, this continent is like an untapped mountain of gold and silver, do you think they will let it go easily?"

Guan Jing said: "If only four or five hundred people come at a time, we should be able to handle it easily."

Zhu Hao shook his head: "If we meet in the wild, or even if they take the initiative to set up an ambush, do you think our chances of winning will still be as great as they are now?"

Guan Jing stopped talking.

It seems that there are many people here in Ming Dynasty, but the orthodox officers and soldiers brought from Daming are only [-], and there are [-] militiamen selected for their outstanding performance in military training. The rest of the craftsmen, farmers and even fishermen, although they also accept They had military training, but they were responsible for teaching the aborigines farming, fishing, weaving, and steel smelting, so it was impossible for them to go to the battlefield casually.

If the other party came five hundred at a time, five hundred at a time, and launched such a continuous wave of attacks, I am afraid that it would not be long before Daming would face a shortage of soldiers. Could it be that it had to rely on soldiers trained by the natives?

At that time, what will these indigenous rebels do?
They don't know what gratitude is. The logic of survival of these indigenous people is that the weak eat the strong. It is not an exaggeration to say that this place follows the law of the jungle, because this is a wild land, and there is no need to talk about morality and etiquette.

"After cleaning the battlefield, continue to build the city, and expand it circle by circle. At least the next time the enemy attacks, we can form a complete defense system. This place is like the nine-sided powerhouse of our Ming Dynasty. The enemies we are facing now are comparable to The Tartars are more brutal and cunning, and there is no room for negligence."

……

……

In Zhu Hao's opinion.

The Ming army has always been a "latecomer" to the New World, and the time when he came to this era determines that it is impossible for the Ming to come here earlier than the Europeans.

Of course, even if you come a few years earlier, you will have to face the problem of competing for territory with the Europeans later.

Now Zhu Hao's task is to seize the time to develop himself, especially to open various mines, so that he can spend the capital with the Europeans, and gradually train a group of people who are good at using cold weapons such as bows and arrows, swords, and spears. The natives, and equip some of them with simple firecrackers...

In general.

Zhu Hao wants to artificially create "classes" among the aborigines.

If there is no class, the indigenous population will gradually occupy the majority and find that there is no room for advancement, and they are likely to resist, especially when they have a certain strength.

But if they are properly given a certain identity and status, so that they feel that they can rise to a certain height, and in the future they can have the opportunity to surpass their clansmen through military exploits and production, then they will put more thought into it. Focus on how to obtain military merits, how to become skilled craftsmen, farmers and fishermen... This is the same reason as the Ming Dynasty used imperial examinations to control all social classes.

Since studying hard has the opportunity to become a master, why do you want to go far and choose a very difficult path of rebellion with a low success rate to achieve a class leap?
Especially when they discover that reading can change people's destiny, successfully ascend to the top of the society, and control the distribution of power and wealth, more people will feel that this is the goal they pursue in life, and then they will no longer think about overthrowing the imperial court The emperor's rule, the emperor can sleep peacefully.

Putting it on Zhu Hao who is on the American continent, he also needs to use this method to reassure the hearts of the natives.

Zhu Hao called the people who were earlier enlightened among the second-class aborigines in Jingjing to come over and teach them face-to-face.

Through getting along with each other in the past few months, many of the indigenous people can understand or even gradually master Chinese, especially the group of people who were captured by Guan Jing and Lu Bing and returned to Daming. Many of them have been with Ming people for ten years. For a month, under the tremendous pressure of survival, they had to learn even if they didn't want to.

"Let me be clear to you, I will build an unprecedented big city here, called Chang'an City, and in the future, I will build five smaller cities around the big city for a hundred miles to accommodate the growing population. Only those who help me do things wholeheartedly can be recognized by me and enjoy the power beyond your people, otherwise you can only do the most basic work and be enslaved for generations!"

After Jing Jinger and several tribal leaders understood Zhu Hao's meaning, they were very respectful.

They didn't see anything wrong.

Compared with the European colonists, Zhu Hao treated them at least as human beings. They could eat enough and wear warm clothes. Of course, that was all. They couldn’t expect to get a high status as soon as they came up, nor could they expect to be like the Ming people. Merits can be accumulated by completing various tasks proficiently, and the language alone is enough for them to have a headache.

The simple mobilization was over, and the rest of the people dispersed, but Jing Jinger stayed behind, like a sycophant, and said to Zhu Hao with a flattering face: "My lord, there are women...beautiful women...ten...they are waiting... I want you to be pampered."

Zhu Hao knew before that, in addition to the labor force driving them, there were also women in the invading Frangji team. In fact, the Flangji people were not even two hundred, but they brought more than 400 women. These women They also have to do some physical work, help drive cars and even carry them, but obviously their tasks are not just that.

Indigenous kings or tribal leaders like Jing Jinger had told Zhu Hao before that after the Europeans captured the city, most of the old people and young boys would be killed directly.

Because for Europeans, these people have no practical significance, and they don't need to think about long-term development. They are robbers, and what they do is a one-shot deal.

Among the men, the strong ones will be killed, because they are afraid that they will lead the rebellion; the weak ones will still be killed, because they cannot contribute their labor.Only those who are neither tall nor thin and look particularly docile will survive to become slaves, and the women who basically conform to their aesthetics will stay, and the particularly beautiful ones will be transferred by them, and finally transported away by ships. It is not known where these women will be sent and what their fate will be in the end.

Zhu Hao understood that this involved the issue of human trafficking.

"I have a wife, I don't need this... These women can earn freedom for themselves through work, and you can't bully them."

Zhu Hao was afraid that what he said was not clear enough, so he asked Ah Da and Jing Jing Er to repeat it.

Jing Jinger actually heard it clearly, but he still didn't understand: "It used to be like this...why not now?"

This is a very real problem.

It’s not that the Europeans have to treat the Native Americans so cruelly, but that the Native Americans themselves feel that there is no problem with doing so, because before the Europeans broke the tranquility here, the wars among the tribes were all for the purpose of robbing survival resources, and even Robbing slaves, robbing women.

In a way, the Europeans are doing it their way.

And people in every tribe feel that it is right to do so.

Zhu Hao realized that it was difficult to change the thinking of these aborigines. He could only subtly let them accept Confucianism and understand the principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.

……

……

After completing this battle, Zhu Hao returned to his "home" in Chang'an City, or in other words, this is also his temporary headquarters, where work and life are arranged together.

Lu Zhanqing and Zhu Hao came to Chang'an, while Sun Lan and the others stayed in the new city.

"Seeing that so many people were escorted today, and some women were sent to the master's camp, why did the master send them away again?" Lu Zhanqing was very surprised.

Europeans saw Native Americans as different, mainly because of race.

But most of the local aborigines are of the yellow race, they are no different from the common people of Ming Dynasty, and they are not short in stature due to hunger.

It can even be said that, in terms of physical conditions, their evolution has instead developed in the direction of "survival of the fittest", and their physiques are even taller and stronger than most common people in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "In your eyes, would I like those women? Words can't communicate, and just because of their outstanding looks, do you want to keep them for yourself?"

Lu Zhanqing shook her head: "That's not true, maybe... the concubine is thinking too much, thinking that the master will win the hearts of the local aborigines through marriage."
