The Rise of the European Emperor

After digging out the oil, Malinte waited a day. Then, count the quantity in 24 hours. But what disappointed Marin was that the oil output of this mine was not as good as the 40 kilograms per day that Mr. Qiu Gou dug, but only half of it, that is, 20 kilograms per day.

"This is too low, it's half discount!" Marin was a little dumbfounded. With such a small output, it is only 600 kilograms a month. If it is used to refine gasoline, there will be even less, which is not enough at all.

"By the way, I almost forgot Zhuo Tsutsui!" Marin slapped his head violently.

After finding the sulfonic pit, Marin led a small boat out to sea along Houlongxi, found the big boat and returned to Keelung. However, on the way, they were attacked by local aborigines.

While the boat was sailing, a javelin suddenly shot out from the woods along the coast, hitting the soldiers on board...

Fortunately, Marin was cautious by nature (fear of death), so he asked the soldiers to wear rhinoceros leather armor on board. Moreover, the javelins thrown by the local aborigines were actually the most primitive javelins, that is, the javelins with the heads sharpened. Therefore, in the end, the hundreds of people brought by Marin were at most bruised by the impact of the javelin, but there were no casualties.

However, the attack of the natives also angered Marin. After returning to Keelung, Marin arranged for Zhang Cai to send people to Zhuotongjing Town, Daying County, Central Shu to hire people who knew how to dig Zhuotongjing, and to purchase well-drilling equipment made of local bamboo. At the same time, Marin mobilized a large number of recruits, and followed the five hundred soldiers sent by Marin to Houlongxi to fight the aborigines...

Marin sent troops to attack the local aborigines this time not on a whim, but he realized a problem-if he didn't scan the surrounding aborigines, it would not be safe to extract oil in the sulfur pit.

Therefore, this time, Marin planned to send troops to sweep all the Fanshe villages near Chusulphengkeng and the Fanshe villages along the way to the sea at one time, so as to avoid problems in the future.

You know, although Marin recruited hundreds of militiamen among the Han immigrants, they were not very useful. At least, within a few months, their combat effectiveness will not improve much.

These novice militiamen may be fine for defending the city, but if they are to sweep up the Daukas people along the Houlong River in Miaoli County, they may not be able to do it. Even if they can defeat those Dawkas in the future, it may take a year or two.

But Marin hoped that the sulfur pit could produce oil earlier, so that he could get more oil after accumulating. Therefore, before leaving, Marin planned to lead the team himself and sweep the area along the Houlongxi again.

...

In addition to the 500 elite veterans led by Marin himself, there were also 500 recruits accompanying him this time.

But these 500 recruits are different from the 500 recruits recruited from immigrants last time. Of the 500 recruits this time, 200 of them are the 200 rattan soldiers that Li Zizi had formed long ago. Although these 200 rattan soldiers have been training for several months, they have never experienced actual combat. After Marin took 500 Minzhuang to attack the Taipei Basin last time, the 500 Minzhuang benefited a lot. Therefore, this time when Marin sent troops, Li Zizi took the initiative to invite the 200 rattan soldiers he trained to experience actual combat.

Then, the composition of the remaining 300 recruits was more complicated. Because, among the remaining 300 people, 200 of them are aboriginal fighters...

Yes, you read that right, those 200 people are Aboriginal people...

However, these 200 aboriginal fighters are not mainly from the Fanshe in the Taipei Basin, because Marin still can't trust them for the time being. These 200 aboriginal fighters are mainly from several fan clubs near Keelung that have a very good relationship with Kong Tai.

The chiefs of those fan clubs were bluffed by Kong Tai with a solar cooker at first, and they respected Kong Tai very much and were willing to cooperate with Kong Tai. Even this time when Marin sent troops to attack the Taipei Basin, those fan clubs also sent personnel to act as translators.

Moreover, during the last conquest of the Taipei Basin, Marin discovered a very serious problem-his army was not familiar with the local terrain and environment...

Fortunately, the young and strong translators sent by the cooperative Keelung fan clubs are very familiar with the characteristics of the local forest and can accurately judge the whereabouts of the local people from the local environment. Even, you can avoid some traps dug by the locals.

As a result, Marin had the idea of ​​recruiting a group of aboriginal fighters. With these fighters who are good at activities in the woodland, it will be easy to attack the local Fanshe in the future.

For this reason, Marin sent troops this time, and specially recruited 200 young and strong soldiers from those fan clubs with very generous treatment, as auxiliary soldiers for this operation. Then, Marin selected 100 young and strong Han people from the early immigrants in Keelung to accompany them to form a new expeditionary force...

...

And the 200 aboriginal fighters did not live up to Marin's expectations. Under their leadership, Marin's army moved freely in the complex subtropical rainforest of Taiwan Island without getting lost in it. Moreover, these indigenous warriors also easily found several local Fanshe villages...

The next thing is simple, although these fan clubs stick to the stockade. However, most of the villages in Fanshe are fenced with bamboo and wood structure, and the construction technology is very poor. Marin directly let Kahn wear a full-body plate armor, carrying a big hammer, smashing open the gates of those fence walls, and then the army rushed in, and quickly resolved the battle...

For the aborigines, the 100 heavy infantry in plate armor led by Kahn himself was a completely unsolvable bug. Their weapons are useless to these fighters, but the sticks of these fighters hurt the aborigines very much...

So, Marin led the army all the way to break the Houlong Club and other fan clubs, arrested more than 2,000 aborigines, and fought all the way to the vicinity of the sulfur pit...

...

After capturing more than 2,000 Daukas aborigines in several communities nearby, Marin thought about it, and instead of detaining them in place, they were sent to the mouth of the Houlongxi River and shipped to Danshui Port.

Then, Marin ordered that more than two thousand aborigines of the Ketagalan tribe in the developing Taipei Basin be divided into more than two thousand people, and then exchanged with these two thousand people...

Afterwards, the more than two thousand Daukas aborigines who moved to the Taipei Basin were scattered among the original six thousand Ketagalan aborigines...

In this way, because they are not locals, the aborigines who have been exchanged will become extremely honest. Because they left their respective home courts and did not dare to act rashly.

Marin was also a rural person in his previous life, and he knew a problem of rural people — he hung out at the door of his house, but he always had his tail between his legs when he went out...

Don't look at those rural people who go to the city with snakeskin bags on their backs so honestly and timidly, it's because they are not at home. If you go to the hometown of these old farmers to see it. In my hometown, the courage of the rural people is doubled, which is completely different from the timidity when they entered the city. You city people can bully them in the city, go to their hometown in the countryside and try to bully them? Even gangsters don't dare to easily go to other people's villages to bully others. Unless you bring a gun, the villagers will come around with hoes, shovels and other agricultural tools to fight with you, and even the local dogs in the village will enthusiastically help... If you change it to a wild countryside like the Northeast or Greater Holland, it is estimated that the village They must put up slogans like "Beating the police is illegal"... Well, in his previous life, Marin had heard of such wild and weird slogans as "It is illegal to rob a police car"...

Of course, that was in the past. Since the popularity of going out to work in the new century, the strong men in the countryside have gone to work in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. There are no strong men in the village, only the old and the weak. Unlike the last century, when the strong men stayed in their hometowns, if there was something as lively as a fight, everyone would be more than happy to join in the fun. Many people came here with hoes and poles, but they didn't necessarily come to fight, they just wanted to join in the fun and build courage. But the outsiders don't know, they are scared to pee when they see the formation...

...

Marin's idea was right. After swapping the territories of the Daucas and the Ketagalan, these people were extremely honest when they first arrived in the new environment. Moreover, Marin broke them up and reorganized them. Without the familiar folks and friends, these people behave even more with their tails between their legs. In this way, it will be easier for Kong Tai and Zhang Cai to manage...

This is like the home field advantage in football. Generally, when a team is on other people's territory in an away game, they will choose to behave with their tails between their legs and play a defensive counterattack or something. Unless it is a wealthy family, they dare to let go and attack in the away game. Even if it is a wealthy family, when they come to the home court of another wealthy family with comparable strength, they will be conservative and cautious.

In their own home court, unless they face an invincible and powerful opponent, they will become more courageous and take the initiative to attack. Sometimes, in their own home court, some weak teams can even upset the giants. Under normal circumstances, the upset of the giants mostly happens in the away game.

For these aborigines, what Marin wants is to break their "home court advantage" and send them to live in an "away game". In this way, these aborigines will become honest in a long time. And after they got acquainted with the new environment, Marin's colonial rule on Taiwan Island has also been stabilized, and they are not afraid that they will make waves...
