  Chapter 902 898【Conquer by force】

  The Chinese brought by Li Quan were allowed to live temporarily on the island.

   As for how long to stay, it is inconvenient for the two sides to communicate, and the specific issues are not clear.

   But one thing is for sure, the Warchief will not let them settle permanently.

  In history, Captain Cook accidentally discovered the Hawaiian Islands. And on the day he came, the aborigines were offering sacrifices to the **** Long Nuo, and the sacrificial team needed to sail around the island to celebrate, and Captain Cook was also going around the island to check the situation. The behavior of the two parties was so coincidental that the aborigines regarded Captain Cook as "Long Nuo" and descended to earth.

  The islanders paid homage to Captain Cook and gave him a helmet and a cloak, which are the attire of the upper class.

   Captain Cook stayed on the island for a month before setting off to explore the Northern Sea Route. He deliberately did not go with the wind and the current, and soon encountered a storm, and the ship was damaged and decided to return to Hawaii for repairs.

  The great chief is angry. Although you are a god, I am the leader here. If you go down to earth, I will serve you too, so why do you come back? Want to grab a seat with me? If you don't want to go back to the God Realm, then I will send you back!

  So the two sides fought, Captain Cook was killed, and his soul finally returned to the God Realm.

  The islanders were very happy, and held a funeral for Captain Cook, and everything was in accordance with the specifications for burying the gods. The internal organs of the corpse were hollowed out and then roasted with fire, and the bones were preserved for future religious offerings and sacrificial ceremonies.

   Playing tricks and playing tricks will end badly.

  Li Quan stayed on the island for several days and called the leaders under his command to a meeting.

The missionary officer Ye Wei took the lead in saying: "The aborigines here grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. We know that sweet potatoes and potatoes were brought by Europeans from the Americas. These aborigines should have never seen Europeans, and where did they come from? Sweet potatoes, potatoes? Could it be that their ancestors came from the Americas, and they were able to cross the ocean hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

   "The natives here also feed pigs and dogs. Are there pigs and dogs in America?" Guo Ziwei, the star puller, asked a question.

   "Not sure." Everyone shook their heads.

  There are not only pigs, dogs, potatoes and sweet potatoes on the island, but also the original cotton variety "cotton wool". The aborigines are already planting and cultivating wool cotton, but the cotton production is still very low. Only the nobles on the island can afford cotton cloth, and the sails of the aborigines are also made of cotton cloth.

   Li Quan chewed the exchanged bananas, and said with emotion: "The islands here are isolated overseas, and there are secrets hidden everywhere, and they will not be clear for a while."

Guo Ziwei said: "The latitude and longitude have been measured. This island is located at 37 degrees east longitude and 19 degrees north latitude. According to the longitude calculation, we have sailed 9,500 miles from the port of Manzanillo. From here, we will return to Luzon or Taiwan. , You have to continue sailing for 17,000 miles."

   "That is to say, this island is located at one-third of the entire voyage," Li Quan said, "then this place is very important, and it is entirely possible to establish a stronghold for resupply and accommodation for the wounded and sick."

Feng Qianli, the captain of the deputy ship, said: "In the past few days, I have explored five large and small islands in the northwest, and it is enough to conquer one of them by force. Then, leave 50 soldiers to stay on the island and marry indigenous women as concubines. , lest they cannot bear the loneliness."

  Ye Qui said: "I'm afraid no one wants to settle on the island, and they have family members in the country."

   "The longest stay is only two years," Feng Qianli said, "Leave 50 soldiers this year, and take 25 when they come next year, and change the other 25 soldiers to live here."

  Ye Qui asked: "They are gone, what about the native wives on the island?"

  Feng Qianli said: "The wife stays on the island and waits for her husband to come back in a few years."

  Li Quan smiled and said: "If you rotate like this, doesn't every soldier have to marry a wife on the island?"

"If you can endure two years of loneliness, you don't have to marry," Feng Qianli said. "We only bring 300 soldiers on board. Even if we all marry wives, we only need 300 aboriginal women. There are so many aboriginals here, 300 A woman must be found at random."

  Li Quan asked everyone for their opinions: "Do you want to raise slaves?"

   "It must be raised. Could it be possible to take down the island and release all the slaves?" Guo Ziwei said.

  Nobody objected.

  Ye Quin said: "Let's call them tenants. The imperial court does not allow slaves."

  The names are different, but they are essentially the same.

  The Han landlords in Luzon and Yecheng raised many alien tenants, and they were no different from slaves, so the government was not allowed to kill slaves casually.

   "Boom~~~~"

  A loud noise accompanied by a slight earthquake interrupted the meeting in an instant. They turned their heads and saw thick smoke billowing in the distance.

volcanic eruptions!

  This is the largest island of the Hawaiian Islands—Hawaii Island, also known as Volcanic Island.

  The volcano erupts every now and then, and the magma that erupts continues to increase the area of ​​the island. All the other surrounding islands combined are only half the size of this island.

   After tossing for a while, the volcano finally erupted, but the billowing smoke was still coming out.

  Li Quan heard the sound of drums, and he took people over to check, but it was the aborigines who were offering sacrifices in the temple. The aborigines regard volcanoes as gods, and every time a volcano erupts, the gods are roaring, and they must appease the gods through sacrifices.

  The temple was built with volcanic rock, and there are various stone carvings around it.

  I saw the great chief kneeling piously in front of the altar, several mages were chanting spells, and chanters were beating drums and singing, and a group of dancers were dancing hula.

   Immediately afterwards, the chief let out a roar, and the native soldiers escorted a few slaves.

  Slaves were pushed onto the altar to kill, and even dismembered. The blood was collected, and it was not known what to do with it.

  Li Quan and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, then couldn't help shaking their heads.

   Too brutal and bloody!

  They don't know that not only sacrifices to volcanoes require slaves, but also human sacrifices are required to build big houses.

   For houses with relatively high specifications, pits are dug at the four corners to lay the foundation for fixing the columns. For the four foundation pits, four people must be killed to sacrifice, so that the house can be stable and not collapse.

  Of course, when using living sacrifices, the first choice is not those slaves, but civilians who violated the rules!

   There is a karp system here.

  The highest ruling layer is the great chief and religious leader.

  Second floor, mages, priests, singers, dancers, doctors, carpenters, shipwrights, genealogists.

  The third layer, farmers, fishermen and ordinary craftsmen.

  The fourth layer, slaves.

  Civilians who violate the Kapu system will be raised and sacrificed. If there are no civilians who violate the rules for the time being, then choose human sacrifices from among the slaves.

  There are so many rules under the Karp system, such as fishing in a certain sea area, farming in a certain place, and swimming and playing in a certain beach. People of different classes can only eat certain kinds of food and wear certain kinds of clothes.

  The status of women is particularly low. The island is rich in coconuts and bananas, but women are not allowed to eat these two.

  The wife can’t even share the same bed with her husband. After the couple have sex, the husband sleeps on the big bed, and the wife can only sleep on the floor bed. Here is polygamy, the most favored wife can sleep on the floor bed, and other wives sleep in other rooms. When a family eats, the men eat around the table, and the women can only eat on the ground.

  When a man goes out, a woman is not allowed to ask where he is going. Men are not at home, and women are not allowed to entertain guests.

  Women are not allowed to touch the fishing net, otherwise the net will not catch fish. Women are also not allowed to go to the fields, otherwise the field will fail to harvest.

  There are many rules of violation, and if you don't pay attention, you will violate them, but there is only one punishment—capital crime!

  The island is rich in products, but the land area is limited. It is estimated that the original intention of this set of rules is not only to maintain the rule of the chief, but also to consciously eliminate the excess population. Because it is difficult for them to expand and cannot transfer conflicts outward, they can only rule brutally internally.

  People who are about to be executed, or those slaves, their souls have been polluted, and only after death can they be purified—this is mind control, which makes the condemned prisoners and slaves less resistant.

  I lived on the island for another month, tried to be familiar with the language of the islanders, and tried to understand the social system here.

  They observe the clothing of the aborigines and judge their status by wearing them. Gradually, a series of high-level dresses such as chiefs, mages, and priests have been determined, and military operations can begin.

  The natives on the Hawaiian Island have already communicated "friendlyly", so there is no need to use force on this island.

  Li Quan focused on the next-door Maui Island, which is also the second largest island here.

  The area of ​​Hawaii Island is close to one-third of Taiwan Island, with a large population, it is not easy to rule if it is defeated. Maui is much smaller, only one-fifth the area of ​​Hawaii, and 50 soldiers are enough to establish a stronghold.

  Five big ships sailed towards Maui, Ali Kamia thought they were leaving, and held a grand farewell ceremony.

   It was soon discovered that the Chinese fleet was all bound for Maui, which made Ali Kamia very worried.

  The islands are enemies of each other. Because the sailboats are too small and the number of troops transported is limited, it is difficult to land and occupy each other. Therefore, the Hawaiian Islands could not be unified for a long time, and the later Kingdom of Hawaii was also established by purchasing European ships and weapons.

  Ali Kamiya is worried about the fact that the Chinese will make friends with their sworn enemies.

  The chief gathered all the sailboats, there were more than a dozen ships, with three or four hundred soldiers, and followed the Chinese fleet far behind to inquire about the situation.

   And Papu, the chief of Maui, has long been vigilant, because Chinese ships have gone around the island to investigate.

  Papp felt that his "Navy" would definitely not be able to defeat outsiders. Therefore, after the Chinese fleet appeared, he mobilized as many troops as possible, and also recruited nearby civilians to form an army to fight on a beach.

   "The enemy is to the northwest!"

   "There are probably more than a thousand people, all of them are men. It seems that women are not allowed to fight."

   "Drive over, ready to land!"

  The Chinese fleet explored around the island, found the location where the enemy gathered, and went to the enemy specifically.

   One boat after another was lowered, and more than two hundred soldiers rowed close to the beach.

   "Boom boom boom!"

  The five large ships fired suddenly, and the shells flew towards the native army.

   Ali Kamiya watched from a distance, and then shouted in horror: "Go back!"

  He often sent troops to Maui to plunder, robbing food and slaves while the enemy was not paying attention. Similarly, the natives of Maui will also go to his territory to plunder. But neither of them thought about it, and completely annexed each other.

  At this moment, Ali Kamiya saw with his own eyes that his mortal enemy was scattered by a burst of shelling.

  What a terrifying outsider, it seems that he is really a god!
