Daming pirates

Ma Ruyi continued wiping her sweat and said: "Please give me the details, sir! About forty miles northeast of here, there is a native tribe with a thousand people. These natives are good at playing the wind."

Arrows and bows came and went like the wind in the jungle. When we people came to settle here, we were all attacked by them, and many people died at their hands.

Some people were even kidnapped and eaten by them, so the boss asked us to move fifteen miles north, which happened to be on the edge of their territory. I had thought about going to reclaim wasteland before, but I had to give up because of their harassment.

Now, if we abandon this place and move there, without the protection of the stronghold wall, wouldn't it be equivalent to forcing us to death?

So I hope that the head of the family will give me some time to relax. After we build the village wall and some residences there first, how about we be allowed to move there? I hope that the head of the family will have a lot of people!"

At this point, Ma Ruyi kowtowed to Xiaotian and began to cry and beg.

Yu Xiaotian touched his chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Since you are a sensible person, let's do what we understand!

I will give you a month, and you can take the young people in your village with you. In addition, I will send thirty more men to protect you as you go to the new site to build a village. After one month, you will take the villagers to the new site to settle down. This place belongs to us!

If you think it’s okay, then let’s do this. If you don’t agree, I’ll drive you away now! Make your own choice!”

When Ma Ruyi heard this, she had no choice but to agree. At any rate, the head of the Sea Wolf named Yu was more or less reasonable and did not settle the matter directly. Not only did he give him a month's grace, but he also agreed to send someone to escort them there.

Build a stronghold over there.

In this way, if they work quickly in one month, the village wall can be built. As long as they have the village wall, they will have a foothold, and the threat from the natives will be reduced a lot. Next, it will be slower.

If you build a house slowly, you can still survive.

So Ma Ruyi took a few villagers back to the village as if she were mourning for a heir, and told the villagers the news. Some villagers became anxious when they heard it, thinking that this was really bullying, and they came from the sea wolf.

Just come and drive them away wherever they come?

So some stupid young people immediately came to the village and started to argue and refused to leave. At worst, they would fight with the Sea Wolf tribe. However, their opposition was not very loud because the villagers had also seen how powerful the Sea Wolf tribe was.

, most people are still very scared. Although they are reluctant to part with this place, it is better than losing their lives!

As the saying goes, it is better to die than to live. The most important thing is to save your life first. If you get crazy and follow these die-hards to play with the Sea Wolf tribe outside, you are basically throwing an egg against a stone and looking for it yourself.

Hurry and go see the King of Hell.

Although Sea Wolf is indeed bullying the weak by doing this, they have left a way out for them after all. The question of where to go is actually an easy choice.

While the vast majority of people were silent in their fate, a few diehards gradually calmed down and reluctantly accepted the fact.

However, what surprised them was that although they agreed to the conditions proposed by Sea Wolf, Sea Wolf did not directly enter their village. Instead, they established a camp outside the village and left a camp for them according to the agreed time.

month, so that the villagers of Majiapu can continue to live in the village.

This gave some comfort to the villagers of Majiapu. They found that Sea Wolf was indeed very different from other pirates. They followed rules and had strict discipline. When the tribesmen were active, they advanced and retreated in a controlled manner and obeyed the orders of the leaders above.

, do whatever you are told to do, and don’t do what you are not told to do.

After their arrival, no one disturbed the villagers, especially the women in the village, and no one rushed into the village to cause trouble. Everything seemed peaceful.

So Ma Ruyi felt heartbroken and sent the village's grain reserves and various cured meats accumulated over the years out of the village according to Yu Xiaotian's request, and handed them over to the Sea Wolf tribe.

In this way, Yu Xiaotian can meet the food needs of these tribesmen for a long time with this income alone.

This first step can be said to have been quite smooth. Basically, we found a suitable landing point inside Tamsui River Estuary without any bloodshed, which laid a good foundation for future operations here.

The biggest trouble they face now is actually the indigenous people living in this area. From ancient times to the present, the reason why Taiwan Island has never been controlled by the mainland regime is actually not the main reason here, as some people in later generations thought.

, particularly bad.

Although it is true that there are many mosquitoes here, the climate is humid, and there are swamps everywhere, it is not to the extent that immigrants cannot survive. The previous regimes on the mainland have sent troops here not just to have a look, but in fact they have also thought about bringing them here.

Taiwan Island is included in the territory.

However, the poor medical conditions at the beginning caused the troops who came here to encounter relatively large-scale diseases. More importantly, they encountered strong resistance from the indigenous residents of Taiwan Island.

For the indigenous tribes of Taiwan Island in this era, all immigrants from the mainland are their enemies, because these immigrants want to burn wasteland for farming, destroy their forests, compete with them for land and prey, so

Immigrants are predators and must be driven away.

Most natives hate immigrants very much. Even though they like the iron tools and fine fabrics in the hands of immigrants, they still don't like them.

For these immigrants, the method adopted by the natives is that if the number of immigrants is small, they will swarm up and attack them and kill them. If there are many immigrants, they will stay away and not provoke them. After seeing the opportunity,

Attacking them secretly.

There are already many indigenous people in Taitung, and many immigrants have died at the hands of the indigenous people over the years. The immigrants do not have a unified management and fight on their own, so they cannot deal with the indigenous people at all.

This is because although many immigrants have come, there are not many villages that can really stand up. Moreover, even if they occupy a small piece of land, it is difficult for them to develop and expand. They can only struggle in the struggle with the natives.

Survive.

Now that Yu Xiaotian is bringing people here, the first thing he has to face is this problem. What should we do? Yu Xiaotian and Fang An were discussing this matter on the way here.

The problem raised by Majiapu now is also a problem they need to solve. If they do not solve this problem, they are guaranteed to be kicked out by the natives sooner or later.

Discussions went on and on, but in the end they didn't come up with a very good solution. They could only take one step at a time and adopt both hard and soft methods. They followed the same example as they did in Jilongwan, pulling in a group and beating a group to let the natives know.

The sea wolves are so powerful that I dare not take the initiative to provoke them again.

It is obviously not a wise idea to adopt a hostile approach. Although Yu Xiaotian now has more manpower, it is far from sufficient to mobilize a large army to wipe out all the indigenous people in this area, so he can only

They adopted such a soft yet hard approach to deal with these natives who were hostile to them.

In order to gain a foothold here first, Yu Xiaotian and Fang An inspected the surrounding situation on the shore and chose the most open area in this area so far to build a camp with the existing Majiapu as the center.

As for the construction of the city, they currently lack manpower and material resources to support it, so they can only use the camp as the basis first and then gradually develop it.

Therefore, starting from the third day after they landed, the young and strong villagers of Majiabao, led by Ma Ruyi and protected by the three sea wolf teams of soldiers, took their tools and went to Yu Xiaotian.

Construction began on the new site they designated.

The Sea Wolf tribe planned a piece of land around Majiapu with an area of ​​about 100 acres, and began to cut trees and build a stronghold nearby.

At the same time, Yu Xiaotian also asked Ma Ruyi to send two villagers who were familiar with the surrounding terrain, and took two teams of soldiers to take a sampan upstream, heading to several villages along both sides of the river to notify

Their clan leader or the person in charge of the village came to Majiapu for negotiation.

The establishment of the village went relatively smoothly. There were dense jungles on both sides of the Tamsui River, and the tree resources were very rich. It was also very convenient to cut down the trees. In some places, some of the original trees were simply used and the excess trees were cut down.

Stakes were erected on the spot and a wooden fence about one foot high was constructed.

This kind of wooden wall can provide the most basic protection for the people stationed here, protecting the people living inside from attacks by natives or beasts.

Although the natives come and go without a trace in the jungle, they are indeed powerful, but they are natives after all and do not know how to attack fortresses. Once the stronghold is established, it will be difficult for them to get any benefits from these immigrants.

What's more, the Sea Wolf now has new weapons that are beyond this era. It requires guns, guns, cannons and cannons. It may not be strong enough to send them to attack, but there will definitely be no problem if they defend the stronghold. If the native tribes don't know each other, they can gather together.

If we attack with human hands, it will definitely be a one-sided massacre.

Therefore, as the first step to establish a foothold here, this village must be established, and this time Yu Xiaotian brought more than fifty newly recruited craftsmen with the fleet, and at the same time transferred them from Jilong Bay

We hired about a dozen craftsmen who had already worked in Jilongwan. As professional engineers, it was natural for these people to do this.

In addition, raw materials were readily available on site, so after they started construction, the project here progressed very quickly. A three-meter-high wall was basically erected in less than ten days.

Moreover, in the past ten days or so, some nearby immigrant villages that had received the news also began to send people to Majiapu to see Yu Xiaotian and Fang An.

When the people in charge of these villages heard that such a group of Fuzhou Sea Wolves had arrived, they were all worried. The people sent to inform them made it very clear to them, "inviting" them to come to Majiapu to talk about this.

The word "please" is not simple, it implies a threat, and coupled with the posture of the armed Sea Wolf tribe who accompanied them, most people in these immigrant villages did not dare to neglect and took boats to go down the river.

, arrived at Majiapu.
