Chapter 887 North American Expansion
Xinshan City, this is what the Dahua people call this place, but it is actually the area around Auckland in later generations.
The Chinese army arrived here, and then the battalion commander of the Marine Corps, Wood Zhang, sent soldiers to escort a person who had mastered the local language to negotiate with the other party's tribe.
Dahua's policy towards the natives in North America is to take as much as possible for their own use, that is, to make them Dahua people.
Massacres are not good, massacres are not right, these are real people, they are labor forces.
Although these natives are uncivilized barbarians, as long as they are willing to submit, Dahua can teach them to be civilized people.
This strategy is completely different from that of Western Europeans, so when Dahua grabs land, the method it adopts is also different.
Dahua hopes to resolve it peacefully, such as by buying or cheating.
In short, if you don't know how to use force, try not to use force.
Once force is used and large-scale bloodshed occurs, the relationship between the two parties will drop to a freezing point.
This is detrimental to the complete rule of these indigenous people in the future and needs to be avoided as much as possible.
Of course, if these indigenous people are obstinate and insist on going against Dahua, Dahua doesn't mind learning the way of the Western Europeans.
Communication with the chief is a very painful thing, because there are very few words in the local aboriginal language.
For example, there are no words such as economy, high quality and low price, and national beauty and heavenly fragrance in their language, and even words such as transaction purchase are not easy to translate.
There is no way, the life of primitive tribes is too monotonous, and there is no need for too many words.
They don't need to trade with others, so naturally the word trade cannot be born.
The translator, Lou Yijun, could only speak while communicating with various gestures.
Human communication is an important cause of progress.
Lou Yijun communicated with the chief for a long time, and the chief learned something.
In the exchange, the chief did not become wiser, but gained insight.
After some communication, Dahua sent a lot of hoes, iron pots and other production and daily necessities to the tribe.
Afterwards, the Dahua began to build walls and houses next to their tribe.
Those places in the wild that have not been reclaimed are divided and reclaimed by the arriving Chinese.
In fact, Lou Yijun was not even sure whether the chief fully understood what he meant.
He meant that Dahua traded those things for these lands with them.
Anyway, the chief had a smile on his face at the time, and Lou Yijun thought it should be fine.
Moreover, when they were busy, the people in the tribe watched from a distance and did not come to make trouble. It seemed that they didn't care about the behavior of the Chinese army.
A few big Chinese who were building a house wanted to show their sense of superiority, so they took out a piece of meat and pointed to the wooden boards.
The natives who were watching understood, because several other big Chinese were also moving the wooden boards.
They imitated those people to carry them, and then the Dahua people gave them a piece of delicious meat, which caused these aborigines to dance an unknown dance, and they were very happy.
And those big Chinese people couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
For the time being, the two sides get along happily.
However, this picture cannot last forever.
When the food they planted matures in the future, these natives might go to harvest it.
After all, they used to eat whatever they could eat, and they didn't have much concept of private property.
At that time, the two sides will inevitably conflict.
But in fact, there is no need to worry too much. As long as Dahua can teach these aboriginal Chinese and enrich these aboriginal vocabulary, they will be able to communicate normally in the future.
If it really doesn't work, when there is a conflict, it is impossible for Dahua's immigrants to suffer.
After finishing this place, Lou Yijun led the people to the next place.
This place alone cannot accommodate all immigrants.
Wood chapter still use the old method, negotiate first.
This time, it was not as smooth as before. The chief of this tribe has a bad temper and has no patience to communicate.
After a few words that didn't convey his meaning, he drove Lou Yijun away.
During this process, pushing and shoving inevitably occurred on both sides.
"****, these barbarians really don't know how to flatter them. We don't want to treat them, teach them how to plant, give them tools, or improve their lives. It's just a disease of the brain..."
Lou Yijun cursed loudly. He was rubbed by an arrow during the push and shoved, and a piece of skin fell off. The pain was so painful.
"Commander, since those people are unwilling to communicate, then conquer them directly. This can also have the effect of killing chickens for monkeys to see. The last tribe that cooperated with us lived a good life. This one does not cooperate with us. is destroyed.
When other tribes learn about the situation here, they should be able to make the right choice when facing us in the future. "
A Chinese soldier said, and others echoed.
They were soldiers rather than immigrants, more hungry for war.
"Prepare to attack, be careful not to kill indiscriminately, just subdue them."
A word of caution from the Wood chapter.
Although the opponent is a barbarian, he cannot treat him like an animal. He still has to follow the military rules that should be followed.
The Chinese army decided to attack, and the aborigines of this tribe rushed out with all kinds of primitive weapons, and they were not afraid at all.
This tribe is very large, and there are three to four thousand adult men who can fight.
On the Chinese side, there is only one battalion of regular troops, about 500 people. There is also a militia formed by immigrants, which also has more than 500 people.
Instead of field guns, they carried some portable mortars.
Still, that's enough.
Facing the screaming natives rushing towards them, the artillerymen of the Chinese army fired unhurriedly, consuming the enemy's numbers first.
They didn't have many mortars, so the damage to the aborigines was not particularly large, at least they didn't scare those aborigines away, and those aborigines continued to charge under the leadership of the chief.
Subsequently, the machine gunner also began to fire, and the soldiers also raised their guns.
The powerful firepower immediately knocked down a large area of those natives, and the chief who rushed to the front was naturally not spared.
But it didn't matter, his son continued to charge with the rest of the people.
The rest of the people were stunned by the corpses around them.
It is human nature to be afraid of death, and they are no exception.
The Chinese army fired another volley, and the chief's son was also shot to death. The remaining natives immediately collapsed, turned around and fled frantically, and fled back to the tribe.
Those militiamen in the Chinese army who were extremely nervous felt very embarrassed at this moment.
Bai was nervous, this kind of unequal battle didn't need them at all.
The only thing they can do is to clean up the battlefield.
A huge aboriginal tribe was conquered so easily.
Those who survived lost their backbone and were at the mercy of the Chinese army.
