Chapter 141 Supplementary Actions for Indigenous Populations ([-])

"This indigenous tribe has about 70 or [-] people. There are more than [-] adult men, and the rest are old people, women, children and children. At this time, the adult men are collecting food outside. If you want to launch a surprise attack, it is best in the evening. They are lighting a fire and cooking." Fu Jinbiao lay on the ground, and softly reported to Niu Hu the situation of the indigenous tribes in the valley.

"On the east side of the valley, there are few trees and the terrain is relatively flat. I'll give you [-] men to cooperate with your cavalry to block that place." Niu Hu took a few steps back, then stood up slowly, "You guys When chasing after horses, don’t use knives, prepare a few more wooden spears, remove the ends of the spears, and then bring down those natives.”

"Yes, Captain!" Fu Jinbiao also shrank from the hillside, nodding in agreement.

"Don't call me your lord." Niu Hu turned and walked back, "I'm a captain, not a general of Ming Dynasty!"

Fu Jinbiao was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly. At the Eight Great Kings (Zhang Xianzhong), there were hundreds of leaders, all of whom claimed to be generals.This Hanzhou military master is so simple!
Nearly [-] armed men gathered in the mountain depression one kilometer north of the indigenous tribal camp.They all sat there quietly, and all the personnel were forbidden to make a sound, even the horses pulling the cart were bitten to avoid making big noises.

Niu Hu came to the temporary camp in the col, discussed softly with several platoon leaders and trainee instructors for a while, and immediately ordered all soldiers, including the indigenous servants, to start eating and drinking, preparing to raid the indigenous tribal camp in the evening.

Autumn in the northern part of Hanzhou is not cool and pleasant. During the day, under strong sunlight, the temperature can reach 26°C to 32°C.Only in the evening, as the sun gradually shifted, the hot air began to dissipate slowly.A breeze blows, which makes people feel a little cool.

The Tu tribe has started to emit puffs of cooking smoke, and the whole camp has become noisy.The men who came back from collecting food were shouting loudly, and the children were playing and running back and forth, and the woman was yelling at the children while manipulating the food.Only a few old natives sat silently in front of thatched huts, watching the lively scenes every evening.

"Again, you must first take care of your own safety to avoid injury. Then, capture the indigenous people as much as possible. If you encounter resistance or escape, the musketeers can shoot!" Niu Hu once again instructed all the soldiers.

"Hei San, you go!" Niu Hu guessed that the siege personnel in several directions were almost in place, and ordered Hei San to lead fifty indigenous servants, holding spears, to launch the attack first.

Hei San received the order, raised the long knife in his hand, swung it forward, and rushed over with the native servants.

After watching the indigenous servants rush into the camp, Niu Hu also waved his hand, and led more than 100 people into the indigenous camp.

On the other side of the indigenous camp, Zhang Nianchun led more than 100 people, quietly waiting for the attack signal from Niuhu.

"Bang!" There was a gunshot from the direction of the indigenous camp.Zhang Nianchun stood up immediately, drew out his long knife, and looked at several marine soldiers who were Japanese field samurai.

Sanada Taketa and several other wild warriors also drew out their knives and looked at Zhang Nianchun eagerly.

"Assault!" Zhang Nianchun pointed the knife forward.

Sanada Taketa rushed in immediately, and then a group of heavily armed soldiers followed behind, holding up their knives and guns and killing them.

The camp of the Tu tribe was instantly smashed by two armed forces. Marine soldiers and Minzhuang brandished spears and forced the indigenous people to sit on their knees or lie on the ground.

Facing the natives who dare to resist, several people will work together to stab or chop them to the ground.All the natives were in a mess, running around and shouting.

Such a weak resistance aroused greater courage and confidence in soldiers and civilians.The muskets are no longer fired, and the long knives and spear points that are swung out will deliberately avoid the vital points of the aborigines.More often, they used the back of a knife and a spear to beat the aborigines to stop their resistance.

"What the hell are you doing?" Sanada Taketa had just slashed a native with a knife, and was suddenly drawn by a scabbard behind him.

Sanada Taketa turned around in astonishment, and saw that Zhang Nianchun was glaring at him furiously, "Catch him alive! You hacked everyone to death, you go to the mine to dig rocks!"

"Yes, my lord! I made a mistake in my humble position!" Taketa Sanada immediately bowed down to admit his mistake.

"Hurry up and arrest people!" Zhang Nianchun raised the scabbard and tapped Taketa Sanada on the shoulder.

"Yes, my lord!" Sanada Taketa replied respectfully, then put the sword back into the scabbard, and chased after the scattered natives.

The entire battle lasted less than half an hour. From breaking into the camp to chasing and intercepting them, the Hanzhou army only killed two indigenous servants and injured nine others, almost completely destroying this indigenous tribe of more than 100 people.

The cries and roars in the camp gradually stopped.All the captured natives had their hands tied, and watched a group of invaders rummaging through everything in the camp with dull eyes.The thatched hut was violently overturned, and the native servants held the spears to push aside the weeds and wood that were covering them, and quickly gathered together the animal skins and dried meat that they saw.

The soldiers of the Marine Corps and Min Zhuang looked at the various stones collected by the natives, and the suspected valuable stones would be placed in wooden barrels one by one, waiting for the carriage to be shipped.

"These stupid savages have knocked down the thatched huts, where do they sleep at night?" Zhang Nianchun looked at the messy aboriginal camp and shook his head.

This raid on the indigenous tribe was not far away. They attacked in the evening, and the battle ended before sunset.But if you want to return to Montenegro, you can only do it in the morning of the next day.So, for the night's camp, they brought a dozen tents.But those native servants are not blessed to enjoy this treatment, they can only sleep in the open air.

Niu Hu glanced at the native servants, who were happily searching for all the supplies that were useful to them.

"Have Fu Jinbiao and the others been released?" Niu Hu asked.

"Well, together with him, four cavalrymen each took five marines to a place two or three miles outside the camp to set up a guard post." Zhang Nianchun replied.

This was carried out in accordance with the corresponding regulations of the original Ming army camp.According to Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao New Book", the regulations on camping are that when the army is stationed, according to the characteristics of the terrain, it is necessary to send a small team of cavalry out of the camp for ten to fifty miles to guard the front of the camp.

However, considering the combat power and scale of the indigenous tribes in the southern inland of Hanzhou, they generally would not take the initiative to come out at night to find the enemy to fight.However, in order to train the team and simulate battlefield conditions, they still sent forward guard posts in accordance with the combat regulations.

"We'll be camping in a while. I'll take people on duty in the first half of the night, and you will take people on duty in the second half of the night. Tomorrow morning, we will take the aborigines back to Montenegro Castle." According to the situation in the camp of the aborigines, Niuhu led people to set up a temporary camp. Defense facilities, began to arrange night vigilance and personnel on duty.

In this siege battle, the losses were slight, but the gains were quite a lot.In addition to killing and injuring more than 120 aborigines, and six or seven escaped, a total of more than [-] aborigines were captured, including more than [-] adult men.

At night, Sanada Wutai received an order from Zhang Nianchun to deal with the leaders and several elders among the captured indigenous people.Without the slightest hesitation, he led his small group of soldiers and quietly dragged the indigenous leaders and tribal elders into the dense forest, beheaded them all with a knife in his hand.Afterwards, he buried the body hastily with all the soldiers.

Before setting off, Niu Hu got an instruction from Qi Tian that in order to better manage the mining natives in the future, all tribal leaders and elders do not need to be brought back.

Since they can't be brought back, naturally they can't be released either, so the only option is to let them disappear into this world.

After more than a month of continuous operations, the Marine Corps and Minzhuang dispatched in batches, took down five indigenous tribes, and captured more than [-] people, including more than [-] adult men.The number of natives in the mine has increased to more than [-], and the children and teenagers captured will receive education and naturalization in Hanzhou together with the children of the original Black Valley.

What is rare and valuable is that the one-month campaign against indigenous peoples has effectively trained the soldiers of the Marine Corps.Cross valleys, traverse jungles and meadows, break through roadblocks, build camps, and even pre-war reconnaissance, combat raids, siege on several sides, and so on.The problems and countermeasures encountered in these small-scale operations have all been tested in actual combat.

Of course, these low-intensity battles with little blood and low intensity seem to only allow Hanzhou's armed forces to brush up their experience points and allow their soldiers to cultivate a battlefield atmosphere.

The real test may come in July, with the Dutch attacking the kingdom of Aceh.
