Chastity Layman

  Chapter 779 Another village

  In the morning, wake up to the sound of seagulls.

  Open the window, and the salty sea breeze blows in your face.

   Mrs. Anong specially asked Qin Lang to prepare breakfast for Qin Lang, fried seabird eggs with fresh oysters and clams, a cup of seahorse stewed chicken, and a plate of sea snake meat.

   Served with a bowl of golden millet porridge.

  Qin Lang saw that it was almost a big supplement, and couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Ma'am, what do you mean by that, you think I'm useless?"

   "I'm just worried that Saburo has worked too hard recently, so I specially make up for Saburo."

  Breakfast was made by the accompanying cook, and the craftsmanship was top-notch, and the ingredients were all fresh from Danshui Port early in the morning.

   "Qin Huan hasn't come back yet?"

   After breakfast, Qin Lang asked Zhang Chao.

   "How can it be so fast." Zhang Chao curled his lips. The Danshui Society is a big village with a thousand or two hundred people anyway, and it is still so far to come and go.

   It didn't take long. As soon as the sun rose, he rode a pond horse and ran back to the port with the pond flag on his back. No one dared to stop him along the way, and he led him all the way to Qin Lang.

   "Wei Gong, good news!"

  The expected victory, but also a little unexpected, Qin Huan led the army for the first time to fight, but in the end he not only took down Tamsui, but also took down Shuiweishe.

   And after they took down the two clubs one after another, they took advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to attack the other six clubs.

The soldiers divided into two groups, attacked the two communes at night, almost without damage, but uprooted the two communes, killed dozens, and captured more than two thousand people. Qin Huan sent people to occupy the two communes, and Qin Lang sent people to receive the spoils .

   "This Qin Huan is so fierce!" Zhang Chao was surprised.

Qin Lang just smiled. People who can run a secret society under the noses of the Qin family in Fuqing can do it impressively. The guy who has a strong control over those people, after getting a lot of new equipment from him, and The cavalry marched, coupled with a surprise attack, and luckily they met the big wedding of the son of the opposing chief.

   It cannot be won with only negligible casualties, it is indeed very impressive.

   "Immediately send people to take over the two stockades, and bring all the captives back to Danshui Port."

  Qin Lang picked up a crude map, checked the locations of Xiadanshui and Shuiwei villages, and then decided to send people to take over these two villages and start reclamation here.

It is very suitable for planting rice and sugarcane here. Simply repairing the two Fanzhai, some Fan people, Han people and slaves brought this time can be resettled there, and then a simple small blockhouse or an enclosed house can be built. As the center of Tunzhuang, the ability can be guaranteed.

  ······

  On the south bank of the Danshui River, on Monkey Mountain, which is only a few dozen miles away from Shuiwei Society, is Ahou Society, one of the eight societies of Phoenix Mountain.

  In front of Ahoushe village, there is a paddy field where rice is planted.

  In the early morning, the women put on bamboo hats and began to plow the fields.

There is fertile and flat land along the Danhe River, but the Dongfans here are not very good at farming. They have no cattle and horses, and only use hoes to plow the land. The rice planting technology is also quite backward, and the rice fields cost women a lot of money. Energy, but output is very limited.

  In the tribe, the men hunted and fished, and the women farmed, which can be regarded as a tacit division of labor and cooperation. The rice planted by the women is only auxiliary food, which is to meet the needs of sometimes insufficient prey catch.

  Women are busy in the fields, in the stockade, men are practicing martial arts, but the chief is drinking.

   "Why, Manager Qin of Danshui Port has thought it over, is he finally willing to accept our price?" The chief wore a monkey on his head, a dry monkey, and a monkey, a live monkey, on his shoulder.

  The chief himself also looks like a monkey, with pointed-eared monkey cheeks.

Holding the wine glass, facing the Han man who came, the chief said proudly, "In the future, we have to change the rules of the transaction, first pay for the goods, thirty sticks of camphor incense, and camphor wood Bought together..."

   "Chief Monkey, that's not why I came today. The head of our Qin family is here, and he asked me to give you a small gift."

   "Patriarch of the Qin family?" Ah Hou was stunned for a moment, he knew that Danshui Port Village was the property of the Qin family, and the Qin family was a noble noble from the Central Plains across the sea. "How can it be?"

   "Why don't Chief Monkey take a look at this gift first?"

  The messenger hands over a box.

   Ah Hou is a little proud, even the head of the Qin family, such a noble nobleman, has to give him a gift? Hahaha, it seems that they are doing the right thing.

  He reached out and opened the box, imagining whether it would be gold or fine jewelry.

   But there was neither gold nor jewels in it.

   A box of salt.

"What's the meaning?"

   "Something is in the salt," the messenger told him.

  Ah Hou stretched out his hand to pick it up, but in the end he pulled out a human head.

   That was the head of Maka, the chief of the Watertail Society, very hideous and terrifying, but he was the chief of a neighboring society of the same clan, and Ah Hou was very familiar with this face.

  A few days ago, they were still drinking together, lamenting how delicious the wine brought by the Han people was. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, his head was delivered to him.

"What's the meaning?"

  Ahou stood up angrily, and the little monkey on his shoulder jumped down screaming.

  The envoy just said calmly, "The same gift was sent to the building agency."

   "Same gift?"

   "Chief Bud of the Tamsui Club! His son Ajie married Maka's daughter last night. They drank together in the Tamsui Club, so their heads were chopped off together."

"By the way, Chief Monkey is probably still a little confused. In fact, our Patriarch is very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Phoenix Mountain Eight Society, so this time he brought hundreds of warships and more than 10,000 people across the sea. You are too greedy. Especially Bud and Maca, they are the most greedy..."

   Ah Hou heard the Han man chattering there, but his mind was already buzzing.

  My brain is about to explode.

   After a long time, he came back to his senses.

   War.

  The war has begun.

  Damn the Han people in Danshuizhai came out, and they raised their knives at them.

   "How dare you come!"

   Ah Hou got up angrily, with the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and pulled out a sharp horizontal knife from his waist.

   But the envoy looked at him, but only smiled contemptuously twice.

"Chief Monkey, do you really think about it? Do you want to end up like Bard and Maka? Last night, our patriarch just sent out more than 3,000 people to attack your two societies without losing any soldiers. Two thousand of the two societies None of Yukou escaped. At this time, not far from your stockade, 1,500 soldiers came to take advantage of the victory. They had solid armor, powerful bows, sharp knives and spears, and galloped like Electric war horse, do you really want to fight us to the end?"

   "Damn it, you were the ones who made it first!"

  ·······

   "Chief Monkey, our parents are willing to give you two paths to choose from."

   "The first one, if you resist to the end, you and your village will be breached without waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow, and everyone will be reduced to slaves. They will be transported to the other side of the sea to work as cattle and horses, and you will never be able to stand up for life."

"Secondly, you are smart and obedient, and you will accept the management of Tamsui City in the future. If you know the times, then you can continue to be your chief village chief. Tamsui City will appoint you as village chiefs or village chiefs, and will give you salary."

  The condition of the Qin family is of course not that good, after all, the strength lies there. Qin Lang just didn't want to blindly slaughter. After all, what he wanted was to occupy and control Liuqiu Island, not an empty island.

  So if there are Dong Fans who are willing to obey the order, he is still willing to accept them.

   It’s just that the acceptance conditions are relatively strict. For example, Qin Lang proposed that if the Ahou Society was attached and surrendered, then Qin Lang could keep Ahouzhai, but all the people in Ahouzhai must be naturalized in Danshui City and take over the rule. In addition, the original hunting grounds, fishing grounds, and rice fields in Ahouzhai must be registered uniformly, and then certificates will be issued to them.

   But even if it is their own forests and fields, the ownership only belongs to Tamsui City, and the rights can be confirmed for them, but the land tax is the same for the fields, and the hunting and fishing also have to pay taxes.

   Even in the future, they have to abide by the laws and regulations of Tamsui City.

   To put it bluntly, even if they surrendered, they became registered households.

  Ahou didn't know what the official position of the head of the village or the head of the township was, but he only knew that if this was the case, they would no longer have the slightest freedom.

   "I won't kill you, but it's impossible to surrender to you. This is our home for generations, and we are the masters here!" Ah Hou roared angrily, and drove the messenger out of the village.

  The horns sounded in the village, and the Fanmin began to carry staghorn spears, stone knives and axes, and put on deerskin skirts, antler helmets, and rattan shields.

   Half an hour later.

  Qin Huan appeared at the foot of the mountain with a thousand Fan soldiers and fifty navy cavalry.

   After taking a few glances at the shabby cottage, Qin Huan confidently ordered the attack.

  The front row held a large shield in front, and the back was covered by archers shooting arrows continuously. Fifty cavalry were divided into several teams, running and shooting.

  As soon as the battle started, it reflected the huge gap brought about by the weapons of the two sides.

Although the soldiers of the Monkey Club are usually very brave when hunting or farming, they are at the same level. Now when their bone arrows and stone arrows face the enemy with better equipment, the enemy has not yet entered their body. Within the range of the bow and crossbow throwing guns and stones, they have been continuously shot by the sharp crossbow.

   Screaming again and again.

  Especially the fifty light cavalry, they are not many in number, but they are well equipped, and riding and shooting are even more deadly. Relying on their excellent armor and fast speed of war horses, they often charge in obliquely, shoot out with one arrow, and gallop away quickly, elusive.

  The large number of Qin Huanfan soldiers even advanced with large shields. The crossbowmen behind them kept firing arrows.

  The simple fence of the village was easily hacked open by knives and axes.

  There was no suspense in the next battle. It took less than half an hour for Qin Huan, who had entered the village, to end the battle.

   Ah Hou was escorted in front of Qin Huan.

   "You shouldn't waste the opportunity Weigong gave you, really." After speaking, Qin Huan chopped off Ah Hou's head with a knife. He chose the path himself, so he had to bear the consequences.

   "Catch everyone and don't let a single one go!"

   Another village.
