Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 862, The Beginning of Bloody Slaughter

On the vast land of Australia, at the foot of a hillside, a group of Australian aborigines are enjoying their lunch.

In the whole of Australia, there are more than [-] large and small tribes, with a population of about [-]. In such a large and vast area, there are only [-] people. One can imagine the population density of the whole of Australia. low.

Of course, [-]% of Australia's land is desert, and [-]% is tropical rainforest in the back, and only about [-]% is in the southeast coastal area.

But considering the huge area of ​​Australia, even if it is about [-]% of the land, the [-] people are still very sparsely distributed.

These Australian aborigines have almost no difference in appearance from African blacks, whether in skin color or body shape, as for how their ancestors arrived in Australia.

After research by historians and anthropologists, it is believed that there may be sporadic islands or land connections in the vast Indian Ocean between Australia and Africa in history. During the Ice Age, these connections finally reached the Australian mainland and thrived here. .

The land of Australia is far less fertile than Africa, and most of it is desert, but the southeast coastal area that is not desert is simply a paradise for these aborigines.

The aborigines who live a nomadic life live a very simple and fulfilling life.

I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and then go hunting kangaroos and picking wild fruits. The kangaroos everywhere in Australia provide them with a rich source of meat, and the wild fruits are vitamin supplements.

When the kangaroos and wild fruits near the living area are eaten up, they will move to the next area, and this cycle goes on and on. For a long time, they have always lived such a simple and unpretentious life, until The arrival of Ming immigrants.

The aboriginal family in front of us has quite a number of people. There are hundreds of adults and dozens of children. It is a relatively large family, and it is a branch of a large tribe nearby.

In an open space, the fire is constantly burning and dancing, and the kangaroo meat is sizzling, and every member of the family can share a large piece of roast kangaroo meat.

There is plenty of food, and there are too many kangaroos. The key is that kangaroos are huge. Adult kangaroos can weigh [-] to [-] kilograms, and they are covered with meat. Hunting a few casually is enough for the whole family to eat. full.

The family members who were full of food and drink gathered together again, and the elders of some families also began to perform the coming-of-age ceremony for a male who was about to grow up.

I saw that the old man used sharp shells to regularly pierce the hands, legs, shoulders, chest and other places of the boy who held the coming-of-age ceremony. At the same time, he also cut his own palm and dripped the donated blood on the boy. Strength and heritage bloodline.

Then finally apply charcoal ash to the boy's wound, so that a scar will form after the wound heals, forming a so-called tattoo.

During the whole process, the boy was crying in pain, but the elder remained indifferent and continued to perform the coming-of-age ceremony. Only after the coming-of-age ceremony, the men of the tribe are eligible to marry and be loved by women.

The other members of the family watched everything in front of them silently.

They don't need to work hard, and most of the time they gather together, watching the coming-of-age ceremony during the day, and the bonfire dance at night. This is the case from generation to generation.

What they didn't find was that on a hillside not far from them, a group of people were riding horses and were observing them with binoculars.

These people included Mongolian steppe people carrying bows and arrows and scimitars, and Han people carrying muskets and sabers. The leaders were Li Dahai and Temulun, and beside them were Batu and Agu. Damu.

"There are 123 adults and 35 minors, for a total of 158. Finally, we have found a big job."

Li Dahai licked his tongue slightly.

Ever since the Australian chief envoy issued a reward order to eliminate black ghosts, at the invitation of Temulun, the two of them invited a group of nearby immigrants to form the team in front of them, specializing in cleaning up nearby black ghosts and making money. Get some extra money.

A nigger's head is worth three taels of silver, which is not a small sum.

Especially for these immigrants who have just immigrated to Australia, they are constantly paying out of their pockets in a short period of time, and there is not much income at all.

Moreover, in the current two years, basically there will be no income. The scale of cattle and sheep is too small, and they must wait for growth before they can earn income.

So we had to find a way to get more money, and building our own ranch also needed money, so everyone discussed and decided to act together.

Kill niggas together, share the bounty evenly.

Temulun invited some grassland immigrants, while Li Dahai invited some Han immigrants. Together, the number of the two parties was more than [-].

"Scatter and surround, attack with bows and muskets, don't fight them head-on."

Temulun also nodded, and immediately formulated a tactic.

In fact, there is no need for any tactics to deal with these aborigines. The combat power of the aborigines is not even considered as fighting scum, otherwise everyone wouldn't be scrambling to kill the aborigines to get the bounty.

You must know that even the Han immigrants who have always been kind have taken up bows and arrows and picked up muskets, which shows the charm of money and how weak the fighting power of these aborigines is.

"Hmm~ action!"

Li Dahai nodded, and then nodded to the people around him. The crowd immediately dispersed and besieged the natives.

The land in Australia is sparsely populated. Even the Han Chinese who have migrated here must learn to ride horses. Otherwise, they will not be able to live in Australia, because horses are the most important means of transportation under the sparsely populated land.

Not only horseback riding, but also herding cattle and sheep, bending bow and archery, etc., all of which must be learned, because in Australia, if you don’t know these things, life will definitely be difficult. Although there are many kangaroos, if you don’t know how to bend a bow Archery and kangaroo meat are not eaten.

So here in Australia, the prairie people learned to farm from the Han people, and the Han people learned from the prairie people to ride horses and archery, and learn to herd cattle and sheep.

More than [-] people rode horses and slowly made a big circle, surrounding the natives in front of them.

"Hey~"

After everyone formed an encirclement circle, Li Dahai, who was in charge of directing the operation, blew his whistle. With the sound of the whistle, more than [-] people rushed towards these natives from all directions.

The horses kept running, and soon alarmed the well-fed natives.

The natives were horrified to find that there were people in all directions, and they panicked immediately.

"Wow wow~"

These natives were yelling in horror and messing around.

This is exactly what Li Dahai and Temulun wanted.

"Bang~"

With the sound of muskets, bursts of white smoke rose up, and some people fell down in response, which intensified the fear of these natives.

Soon, bows and arrows continued to attack them, and the natives fell to the ground one after another under the bows and arrows.

The natives held spears, stone knives, and their boomerangs in their hands, and wanted to fight back, but sadly found that they couldn't attack these people.

They wanted to escape, but found that there were enemies in all directions. They had never encountered such a situation before. The whole family was terrified and at a loss.

Women and children are screaming, but grown men are being harvested.

The killing continues, one-sided slaughter.

This indigenous tribe of more than a hundred people was quickly slaughtered.

The heads were cut off one by one and piled up together, and then the corpses were thrown into a big pit for burial. In the end, Li Dahai and Temulun left happily with their trophies. Everyone was able to share about twenty taels of silver. , this amount of money is enough for them to live for a long time.

……

Here in Suzaku City, from all directions, teams came to Suzaku City one after another. Every team was riding a horse with jet-black human heads hanging on the horse's back.

If it is the first time for a person to come to Suzaku City, he will be scared to death by the scene in front of him, it is really terrible.

But people who are used to all this, not only do not have any fear, but also cast envious and jealous eyes, a head is worth three taels of silver.

The more heads he brings, the more rewards he can receive, and the more he can prove his bravery.

In Suzaku City, the business of the shops here suddenly improved. No matter what it is, it is very easy to sell, especially wine. There are not enough of these things to sell now.

These immigrants who came to receive the bounty had money in their hands, and they spent a lot of money, and because they basically acted in groups, they naturally wanted to gather together, drink, eat grilled kangaroo meat, grilled sea fish, etc. .

This made the wine in Suzaku City suddenly become in short supply, and some merchants even started to set up wine-making workshops in Australia to meet the market demand in Australia.

Apart from drinks, other commodities have also become popular. This money is easy to come by, and it doesn’t hurt to spend it. You can buy things when you see them. Anyway, we have our own pastures here, and we have to build them slowly. The commercial firms that come here to do business are also making a lot of money.

Everyone is happy. Immigrants are happy to have money, and merchants are also happy when their business is getting better.

The only one who is a little worried is Deng Nan, the Australian chief minister.

At this time, in the official residence of Suzaku City, Deng Nan was having a headache about the issue of rewards. The documents approved by the imperial court had not yet come down, and the appropriation money from the imperial court had not yet arrived, but the heads of the natives had been sent over continuously. , the money was flowing out, which made him start to worry about the money.

"We still have to find a way to open source, as long as there are gold mines~"

"Gold mines are too hard to find, so we should find a way to increase exports. The only thing that can be exported is kangaroo meat and kangaroo skin. Or should we promote that kangaroo meat has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing yang?"

Deng Nan stroked her chin and thought.
