Chapter 127 Disobedience to Wang Hua
Drying salt requires a lot of space.The historically famous Tainan Chigu Saltworks covered an area of ​​2700 hectares in its heyday.

Therefore, there are no cross-travelers, and it is impossible to send a large army to protect the saltworks. The harassment method of the natives wandering over to hunt for heads is the most troublesome situation for elite defenders with few manpower and strong firepower.

The most hope of the crossing forces is that the opponents will come in full force. Even if Zheng Zhilong's entire army is killed tomorrow, then the ammunition reserves here can be used to destroy the imperial food, achieve a great reputation and three years of peace.

However, the natives can't do this. The natives are playing harassment, which is disgusting.The Madou and Xiaolong communities north of Xingang Creek, poverty limited the imagination of their leaders, so far they have not come to Dayuan Island to pay homage to the Lord of Shangguo.Whether it was to ask the people of the Xingang Society to pass on the message, or to tell the younger brother who came to sell the buckskin to go back to bring the message, all of them fell to the ground. This is called strategic death, and the hostility is already obvious.

Since you can't defend it, you can only attack it.

I didn't do it before because the development schedule north of Xingang Creek has not yet been put on the agenda.In addition, unlike in history, neither the Chikan New District nor the industrial base in the Kiln District was harassed by local natives during the construction. When Chikan was building the city, Dutch soldiers kept watch at night.

This created an illusion for the people who traveled through: the natives understand the importance and can reason.

In the end, after being slapped in the face by the Madou locals, I realized that my way of reasoning was probably wrong, and the old way of speaking worked.
Today's meeting is to end the discussion and directly decide whether to fight or not.As for how to fight, Han Xiaobo, who was appointed as the "Commander-in-Chief of the Suppression in Tainan Area" on the spot, came up with a plan that had already been prepared.

The crossovers are different from the colonists.The colonists came to plunder, so they had no scruples. If they couldn't stand their ground, they would leave and return home.

And there is no country to return to across the land, and to a certain extent, they can't afford to lose.Therefore, Hangzhou is their homeland, and the senior officials are also their homeland now. An industrial civilization that wants to take root here must have a different way of doing things from the Dutch.

The way the Dutch ruled Taiwan in history was the standard three-light policy: Whenever they accumulated troops and resources, Hongmao would summon the indigenous vassals of the Xingang Society to serve as auxiliary soldiers and guides, and then dispatched more than [-] soldiers at a time. Burn and kill the target tribe to create a deterrent effect.

During this process, the Dutch actually didn't care whether the opponent resisted or not: most of the time, by the time the Dutch-Turkish coalition forces arrived, the local natives had already run away.However, if you run away from the monks, you can't run away from the temple. The natives on the island are half fishing and half farming, not nomads. Villages, food, grain fields and other properties don't have long legs.

The Madou people in history have voted for the Dutch.

On June 1629, 6, the Madou people sent their backpacks and muskets across the river first, and then crossed the river with the red-haired master on their backs. They drowned 13 people in the Madou River at one time. A Dutch soldier who came to fight the autumn wind, including a low-level businessman and a commander.

In real history, after the Dutch solved a series of external troubles such as Hamada Yahei, six years had passed by the time they were free to take revenge.

In November 1635, Putmans, the fourth chief of the Dayuan, led 11 soldiers, plus nearly 475 auxiliary soldiers from Xingang and Omekosha, and launched a three-light assault on the Madou area.

All the aborigines I saw were not left behind, all children, women and the elderly were killed, and 3000 aboriginal houses were burned down.

On the first day of the war, the Madou people resisted. However, when a tribe of 3000 people was killed with 260 young warriors, the tribe collapsed.

A month later, the Madou people who fled into the mountains couldn't bear it anymore, and they all came out to surrender, presenting betel nuts and saplings to express their surrender. The mountain is not so easy to mix, not to mention that there is no food, and the Gaoshan people will kill refugees without leaving anything behind. hand.

This is how the Dutch reason.Starting from the recent Xingang Society, almost all aboriginal tribes have suffered from the red hair’s three-light policy: large troops came, the aboriginals ran away, burned houses and grain fields, aboriginals surrendered, and nearby tribes quickly surrendered when they saw the tragedy— — This has become standard procedure, different indigenous tribes, each time choose the same response, the Dutch have never tired of playing the same trick.

The governance method of killing but not burying is not what a certain force that claims to be tall and powerful wants.

To tell the truth, a certain evil force is actually willing to take care of the life of the aborigines from birth, old age, sickness and death, and the civil affairs are also fat!The three-plywood box dares to pretend to be ebony and sell it for 2000 if it is painted with black paint, but the actual conditions do not allow it.

The first is that the number of immigrants used to assimilate the natives is not enough.

Be it the beggars or refugees in Hangzhou, the comrades at the local Hangzhou station cannot drive these people to Moyun Temple like a herd of cattle. This is a secret process of transportation.

The fleet is also very difficult: there are already three fleets running on the Taiwan-Zhejiang route. Whether it is equipment or the leading ship that is the backbone of the crossing crew, it has been stretched to the limit.

The cargo handling capacity at Tangzhuang is also tight, especially the grain - the big officials can't produce their own grain now, and there is also a process of buying grain at Hangzhou Station. If it is too crazy, it will definitely attract the government and big grain merchants. Note that behind the big grain merchants, there is no doubt that there are big gentry, and the smaller ones generally cannot get involved in the grain business.

All of this limited the number of Ming laborers who came to Dayuan. As of the New Year of 1628, after 2 months of crossing over and occupying Dayuan, 2100 Ming people had immigrated, 150 tons of rice reserves, and a number of other miscellaneous goods; The speed is due to a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, otherwise the current situation would not be possible at all.

Originally, it was planned to leave the "diluted quota" to the members of the Xingang Society.The newly opened Chikan Primary School has accepted 10 Xingang boarding primary school students, and there are also 5 small indigenous families of three members specially selected by the cross-travelers. They are all placed in the school district room next to the primary school.The cross-travelers are ready to act as an example to enlighten the natives, let the natives feel the beauty of the new life, and then gently use the population advantage to slowly digest the Xingang people.

Now the process is abruptly interrupted.

Because Madou and Xiaolong refused to accept Wanghua, the war was imminent, so the planned "slowly digesting the natives model" has become a tough "one pot with raw rice digestion model". This method is very laborious and has a bad appetite. If so, easy indigestion.But at the moment, the arrow is on the string, and we have to send it. We can only take one step at a time.

Everything went back to the original point: if you want to develop the north bank of Xingang Creek, you must first deal with the natives, and if you want to deal with the natives, you have to be blackmailed by the military leader—the drone.The newly opened Zong Zong immediately put the drone that he had missed for a long time on the list of military supplies.
