"Help Ban Ya people? This name is so appropriate" Mr. Zhao couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, it would be a pity not to be Lu Zhai." Jin Ke also smiled: "But to be honest, he is not Lu Zhai. According to what we know, there are thousands of islands in Luzon, large and small, and each The indigenous languages ??and beliefs on each island are different. Even on the main island of Luzon, the sultanate only controlled the Manila area, and there were hundreds of independent tribes that were completely outside their control."
"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "I heard that the Spaniards have surrendered Luzon Island?"
"Yes. For the tribes that were willing to cooperate and convert to the Chechidan religion, the Spaniards bought them with cheap goods and signed offensive and defensive covenants with them. For the tribes that were unwilling to cooperate and convert, they were resolutely massacred and no one was left alive. Jin Ke said:
"This contrasting method, coupled with the many conflicts among the tribes, led to a sharp increase in the number of tribes joining the red-haired ghost camp, and then they attacked the tribes that refused to surrender together. All the population and property were distributed among the servants of the natives. The red-haired ghosts We don¡¯t take any money, just land. Only in this way can we pacify Luzon in just a few years and start marching into Mindanao and Bodhi in the south!¡±
"This is their usual routine." Zhao Hao stopped running, took the towel handed by Brother Gao and wiped his sweat and said: "They also do it in South America. The only difference is that Luzon still has connections with Nanyang and Ming Dynasty. That¡¯s why the population¡¯s immunity to infectious diseases is higher, so millions of people don¡¯t die at once like in the Americas.¡±
"There are not millions of people to die in Luzon. Before the war, Luzon only had 500,000 people. In the past few years when the red-haired ghosts invaded, they killed many people and fled. There are only a few hundred thousand people left on the island." ." Ma Yinglong, who still serves as the director of the agency, interjected.
"What a crime" Jin Ke, a soldier with a heart as solid as stone, couldn't help but sigh.
"This is just the true nature of this era." Zhao Hao said calmly: "The red-haired ghost's rebellious behavior is good for us. By the way, there are guests after breakfast, so you should meet them too."
"Yes." The two of them responded hurriedly.
??~~
When Zhao Hao was in the Coast Guard, it was his custom to dine together with the officers and soldiers. Because this is the only project in which he will not make a fool of himself.
This time is no exception.
The officers and soldiers also welcomed him very much, because as long as the beloved commander-in-chief is here, everyone¡¯s food will be richer.
Today¡¯s breakfast includes milk and eggs directly supplied from the farm. There are also nasi lemak, seaweed pancakes, Yangzhou fried rice with shrimps, and a large pot of fresh seafood noodle soup for each table made with blue crabs, flower crabs, shrimps, sea whites, mantis shrimps and other fresh seafood caught on the day, minced and stewed .
Such a rich and delicious breakfast, even Zhao Hao was full of praise for it, and the officers and soldiers naturally expressed that they had a great meal.
Although usually, they can only eat half of the dishes, and the cooking is not so careful. However, it is still far higher than the food level of brother units.
This is because Kenting Bay is very rich in fishery resources. The Hengchun Plain is the second largest livestock base of the group after Tamluo, and it is also rich in tropical fruits, so they can have the conditions to eat so well.
In other bases, the meat supply cannot keep up. We eat seafood and canned food every day until we vomit. We can only eat fresh meat during dinner parties
After breakfast, Zhao Hao met with the two indigenous leaders brought by Lord Wen De in the reception room of the headquarters.
One is the leader of the local Langqiao Eighteenth Society named Zhuo Ke. He wore a short coat made of self-woven homespun cloth, his hair was tied with cloth strips, his hands and feet wore copper bracelets, and a deer's tail was tied around his ankles. Although he is very short, he has dark skin and strong muscles, making him not easy to mess with at first glance.
The natives here in Langqiao are actually not the Pingpu people who are easy to deal with, but the unruly Gaoshan people.
But because they also believe in the Mother Goddess and the Dragon Palace, with the help of the Ketagalan people, they have come under the skirt of Ma Tianzhu.
And they are brave, loyal and fanatical. They are excellent warriors, especially good at jungle warfare. It was precisely because they joined the cooperative and actively performed under Ma Tianzhu's instructions that the battle to expel the cannibals from the Hengchun Peninsula went so smoothly.
??The biggest fan has betrayed, can it not go well?
And another native who looked like he was of the same species was actually a representative of the Igorot people from Luzon.
The Igorots do not refer to a specific tribe, but to the collective name of the indigenous people living in the northern part of Luzon Island. They were invaded and massacred by the Spaniards and their servants, and took refuge in the mountains.
¡°However, the living conditions in the mountains are harsh, and many people boarded wooden boats and bamboo rafts, crossed the Bashi Strait, and came to Taiwan Island to seek refuge. With the help of Kuroshio,
As long as we don¡¯t hit the rocks, it¡¯s not difficult to reach Taiwan. If we catch a southerly wind, we can land ashore in two days.
Of course, there are also many Igorots who were either rolled over by huge waves or their simple wooden boats were rolled over, or they crashed into the dense rocks in the strait, or they were blown to the depths of the ocean by the wind. There are countless people who died at the bottom of the sea.
The Igorots who landed on the Hengchun Peninsula were basically captured by the Lighthouse Police Station and the Kenting Security Team. After confirming that they were not Nanyang pirates but Luzon refugees, they were handed over to the Management Committee for disposal.
The security team also reported a piece of useful information to the management committee, that is, these Luzon aborigines have the same appearance as the aborigines of Langqiao 18th Society, and even have similar languages ??and beliefs. For example, their spiritual leaders are both witches, and they also have a hobby of weeding They were driven out of the sea by the red-haired ghosts because they cut off the heads of many Spaniards.
Tang Youde immediately knew what to do. He asked Lord Wen De and Zhuo Ke, who was already his good brother, to communicate with the aborigines first to see if they could get them to put down their guard and obey the command.
Needless to say, the effect is really good. By exchanging experiences on making grass and how to pickle human heads to keep them fresh for longer, the two parties quickly became involved.
As a science-loving goddess, Menan borrowed the Coast Guard¡¯s hot air balloon to fly on board again, proving that she can report to the gods at any time.
And claimed that the Eluanbi Lighthouse is also a great miracle. It was set up by the God of the Sea to take pity on the believers who were lost in Southeast Asia and guide them to find the paradise.
The reason why these Northern Luzon natives are so obedient is related to the fact that when they landed on the island, they were shocked by the large lighthouse that could project light for thousands of miles. Now that everything was explained, I was immediately convinced that it was the god they worshiped who was manifesting his spirit!
After promising that all the shrine maidens of the Igoro people would become Ryukyu Shinto shrine maidens and enjoy equal treatment, Menan successfully converted these Nanyang natives from nature beliefs to Ryukyu Shinto believers. She had played this trick countless times in Taiwan. More tribesmen were subdued by pretending to be clever than by the security forces who subdued them with guns and cannons.
Of course, without the backing of the security team¡¯s guns and artillery, it may not work just by pretending. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
In short, this group of Northern Luzon natives from different tribes became believers in Ryukyu Shinto under the inspiration of Ma Tianzhu. And follow the instructions of the Mother Goddess to graze cattle in Hengchun Pasture with peace of mind.
The instructions of the Mother Goddess were indeed correct. Working as a herdsman in a ranch directly under the management committee, although the salary was not comparable to that of a regular employee of the group, you could still get a meal of meat every three days and seafood every day. Moreover, they were given clothes from head to toe, and could drink wine and eat sweets from time to time. Compared with their previous life, it was like heaven and earth.
Eat well, dress well well, this is the subtropical zone where you only need a pair of shorts for all seasons, so dressing is not necessary. There are also old, weak, sick and disabled people who have lost the ability to work because they fled across the sea. They are not killed by the ranch for meat, but are given medical treatment and recuperation. No one beat them or scolded them, which moved these Igorot people so much.
They don¡¯t want to pay them wages on the farm, mainly because they don¡¯t know what the money is used for
The only regret is that there is no way to do it now. Because Ma Tianzhu said that headhunting is not allowed by God. They were massacred by red-haired ghosts before because they were abandoned by gods because of random headhunting.
"Now that I have the blessing of God again, I can only hold back" The representative of the Igorot people is a black-faced man in his thirties named 'Bang Bang' with tattoos on his face, but his innocent smile is like A child weighing more than eighty pounds.
Of course, his words were translated by Zhuo Ke to Mei Nan, and then Mei Nan translated them again to Zhao Hao.
"Can you bear it?" Zhao Hao saw that he had been looking at the cigarettes on the table, so he handed one to him.
Bangbang smiled cutely again, lit a cigarette on the charcoal stove for making tea on the table, and started smoking skillfully. Then chirping and chatting.
Mei Nan translated: "He said that if this generation tolerates it, the next generation will not know what Chucao is."
"Well said, quite wise!" Zhao Hao smiled approvingly, gave Bang Bang a pack of Coast Guard brand cigarettes that he had just opened, and said, "Don't you guys want to go home?"
Bangbang danced for this precious reward, and after a while he said that he didn¡¯t want to go back, this was heaven. It would be great to graze and milk the cows every day, and then lie on the hillside watching the cows graze the rest of the time. Why go back and be frightened?
What the hell¡¡
Mr. Zhao looked at Mei Nan, was this the help she vowed to help him?
To this end, I have paid billions
Mei Nan hurriedly communicated with Bangbang urgently, saying that your people are still starving in the mountains, and you must help them. Because those who abandon their clansmen will also be abandoned by the Mother Goddess.
But Bangbang said with fear on his face that the red-haired ghosts' muskets were very scary, and they also had cannons.
Zhao Hao laughed and said: "We also have those things, and they are more sophisticated than them!"
As he spoke, he looked at Bang Bang with bright eyes and said: "Now we are going to save our compatriots. If you also go, we will be a family from now on!"
Bangbang thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, let's go back!"
"But what are you going to do?" Bangbang asked again.
"Create chaos!" Zhao Hao said word by word. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?, will also be abandoned by the Mother Goddess.
But Bangbang said with fear on his face that the red-haired ghosts' muskets were very scary, and they also had cannons.
