The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 836 Moths to the flame
"Who are the other tens of thousands of people?" Ding Shitou asked again.

"His Majesty the Emperor has immigrated in the past few years." Prior said.

In order to completely occupy this place, Ding Yi most often uses immigration, including the current occupation of Annan. After he is defeated, he immediately emigrates.

He didn't understand why the Ming Dynasty didn't do this when they defeated Annan. Perhaps their thinking was different from Ding Yi's.

Ding Yi added two soldiers to Tai O, each time immigrating at least [-] people.

The Manchus were defeated many times in the middle, and the captured Mongols, including the recent Annans, immigrated here one after another.

Now among the local people, there are more than 4000 Manchus, more than 3000 Mongols, more than 2 Annans, and the rest are all Han Chinese.

Generally speaking, there are still relatively few Han Chinese.

The Annan people and Han people here are responsible for hoarding fields, drying salt, etc., and the Manchu and Mongolian people are responsible for raising horses and herding sheep. There are also large natural pastures here.

And in the past six years, Tai O has also established its own artillery factory, gun factory, iron pot factory, schools, hospitals, shops, etc., and also planted sugar cane for sugar production.

From the year before last, Prier began to gather local aboriginal children to go to school together, learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and promoted officials among the aboriginals, and used some aboriginals who were willing to take refuge in the big cadres to give benefits and become role models.

Every year, each county and each mining site will select some people from among the better-performing aboriginals and give them heavy rewards, so that all aboriginals can see hope.

Now Da'ao has basically stepped into the steps of Dayuan in the early stage, and the situation is still quite stable.

Of course, they also have some problems in the early stage of the big members, that is, there are still a large number of indigenous people who refuse to surrender and are still resisting.

Prior said that this time the number of troops increased to [-], he will strive to completely pacify the rest of the aborigines within a year.

Before Ding Shitou came, because Prier's shop was too big and too many mines were built, the county town and the soldiers and horses on his island were not enough.

Now that the number of troops has increased to [-], he can free up two to three thousand soldiers and horses to continue the conquest.

After discussing the matter in the morning, Wang Bao started to act with several officials, and Priel gave him a team of 50 people to be responsible for protection, and repeatedly emphasized that try to stay near the coast and not go deep into the interior.

The range that can be controlled by the dry army is currently the safest about [-] kilometers inward from the coast.

Tai O is nearly [-] kilometers wide from north to south, and there are still very few places that the army can control, mainly because there are not enough people.

He asked him to wait a while and send a team of dogs to him.

Beating the indigenous dogs was an unpleasant experience for their senior members many times, and it also played a big role in the Annan area.

Wang Bao wrote down one by one, and then brought many people, including officials from the Ministry of Commerce and Energy, mining experts, craftsmen, fifty guards, a total of about 100 people, and all of them rode horses to the south of Tai O. .

The entourage asked, the dog hasn't come yet?

Wang Bao shook his head, no need.

He had never stayed in Dayuan before, and he didn't know what a dog was for, so he was about to leave soon.

The entourage quickly persuaded him that the dog here is ten times more useful than the sentry cavalry, and it can prevent the black arrows of the natives.

Wang Bao was willing to wait for a while, and after a while, five big members of the Fan clan (now they are all called Ganren) came to their team on horseback, followed by five big dogs, and everyone gave out.

Wang Bao is going to visit several local gold mines and find a suitable location to build a company.

The largest and most gold mines in Tai O are all in the southern part of Tai O Province, which is near Sydney, so Ding Yi is now asking Prior to build the Yangtze River City.

At present, the north is still dominated by iron ore and other minerals.

Tai'ao is rich in mineral resources, oil and natural gas. There are at least 70 kinds of mineral resources. It is called a country sitting on a mine cart. What Dagan has discovered so far is only the tip of the iceberg.

Wang Bao looked at the documents and maps as he walked, stopping and going, and he didn't know how long it had passed.

The section in front of the jungle surrounded by wooden fences is not very long, but the accompanying soldiers immediately told them: "My lord, we have penetrated fifty kilometers."

It's a sign of distance, remind them.

Wang Bao was taken aback for a moment. They rode all the way here. In order to wait for the dog, they ran relatively slowly.
"What time is it?"

"It's almost noon." Someone said.

Wang Bao: "Eat something first, and watch it later."

Everyone stopped to eat, and Wang Bao called the local staff: "How far is the No. 3 gold mine from here?"

"It's less than ten miles to the west."

Wang Bao pointed to a point on the map: "This oil mine hasn't been mined yet?"

"The governor said that the steam water lifter must be installed after the arrival of the sir. It is too deep, and the steam water lifter must be used to lift it up."

Wang Bao looked at the oil mine, then at the gold mine, the distance between the two was about twenty kilometers.

"Let's build our company here." He pointed to the map.

Probably right in the middle of the two mines.

Some local people's face changed slightly: "There are many mountains and forests here, and many indigenous people are hiding in them."

"There is a mountain nearby, and we built it with our backs." Wang Baodao: "Build forts on both sides, and then surround them with walls, and nothing will happen."

Everyone was noncommittal.

It is definitely not safe to build here, and it is necessary to prevent the aborigines from sneaking in at any time, but it is okay to think about it. The follow-up Priel will definitely clean up this area, because the aborigines who are close to the mine should be cleaned first.

"Let's go to the gold mine." After passing the dry food, everyone went west to see the No. [-] gold mine.

The size of the mine here in Tai O is expressed in figures.

Comparing Gold Mine No. [-], the surface is the third largest of the gold mines.

In the past, they always started from Tai O City, walked along the coast, and then went south.

This time Wang Bao has to look at the terrain, first go deep, and then go west, he will pass through this jungle.

Five Fanbing led five dogs in front.

Everyone walked forward slowly. Fortunately, the jungle was not dense enough for horses to pass through.

After a while, they walked out of the jungle and found that there was a river in front of them, and the jungle was on the other side.

Fortunately, the river is not wide, and it seems that it can pass.

"Find someone to go down and test the water." An accompanying officer just said.

Wang woof, at this moment, the five dogs in front barked fiercely.

"Someone." Fan Bing screamed in proficient Chinese.

"Whoa whoa whoa"

Countless cries sounded from the opposite jungle, and then there was an uproar in the water, and many natives emerged from the water.

They all have straw-like leaf tubes in their mouths for ventilation.

In addition to the rushing natives in the forest ahead, there are at least several hundred natives ambushing here.

"Protect Lord Wang." The officer yelled, and everyone got off their horses one after another. Those who raised their guns raised their guns, and those who drew their knives drew their knives.

Da'ao Province began to replace all flintlock guns last year, and it has not been replaced yet.

Twenty of them in this team are Mongolian soldiers. These Mongolian soldiers made great contributions in conquering the big officials, and they were gradually tamed and assimilated. Now they are all equipped with flintlock guns, and some of them are not skilled enough.

A Mongolian soldier threw away the gun first, picked up the bow on the horse, swish, and shot an arrow.

The other side fell down.

Wang Bao took down a wheel-wheel gun from his horse without haste, and retreated slowly to the back of the crowd.

He found that there were all kinds of sticks on the opposite side, and there was even a piece of wood with a stone tied in front of it. Anyway, that kind of weapon was worse than the big official's Fan clan, and it was simply an uncivilized beast.

All of them have no clothes, all are covered with animal skins.

There was a strange noise from their mouths, and they rushed forward frantically.

There were also people who took bows and arrows, collapsed, and shot an arrow, which was weak and not very lethal. When it hit a sergeant, it didn't even break the chain armor on his body.

The arrowheads are made of bone, which is relatively good, and many arrowheads are directly sharpened with wood.

No wonder it was easier for Priel to conquer this side than it was for Ding Yi to fight against the big officials. The natives here really don't have much fighting power.

Bang, bang, gunshots rang out in the arena, and the natives fell in pieces.

But they were not afraid of death, and more rushed over.

The sergeants had no time to fire a second shot, so they had to draw their swords to fight.

Wang Bao retreated and was watching, when he suddenly heard something.

Looking up, there was actually a person hiding in the big tree above his head. I don't know why the dog just found it.

"Wow!" the man roared wildly, jumped down from the tree, and rushed straight at Wang Bao.

Wang Bao turned around in horror and raised his gun, but seeing darkness in front of him, he jumped and was hit hard by the man.

With a splash, Wang Bao fell heavily, and the wheel-wheel gun also fell to the ground.

He grew up in Lushun, a school in Lushun. He has walked, practiced bows, and learned archery. He is actually very versatile. When he falls to the ground, he immediately rolls over and moves very quickly.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was faster, rushed forward with a stride, raised the stick and hit it with a stick.

Wang Bao was startled, and stretched out his hand to cover his head, feeling that he was going to be beaten half to death with a stick.

Unexpectedly, there was no stick on the top of the head.

He opened his eyes in panic, and saw that it was actually a female aborigine.

The female native looks pretty good, and she is staring at Wang Bao with big eyes.

Wang Bao has a handsome face and is quite handsome, unlike other soldiers.

She suddenly grinned, stretched out a stick, and tapped Wang Bao's chest, then boo hoo hoo, bouncing on the spot with an excited expression.

Wang Bao didn't understand what it meant.

Sudden.

"Bang" a gunshot.

The excited female aborigine was shot in the back.

She looked at Wang Bao in pain, then turned around slowly, plopped, and fell to the ground, dying of breathlessness.

Seeing her dead, many natives around screamed frantically and rushed forward again.

The crowd became a little chaotic, and the natives rushed into the army formation.

The cadres surrounded the craftsmen and others, fighting hard.

Wang Bao was outside in a daze, and found that many natives passed by him, but they didn't attack, and then rushed directly to other cadres.

But they are undoubtedly moths to the flame, rushing forward and dying one after another.

Equipment and technical and tactical levels are not at the same level at all.

The cadres in Tai O came here after a bloody battle among the big men, and the aborigines were no match at all. After a while, someone yelled, and the aborigines receded like a tide, leaving behind corpses all over the place.

Wang Bao watched them rushing up, then fell down, and retreated again, and he didn't know what it was like.

Seeing the female aborigine on the ground again, I felt mixed feelings.

The battle lasted only a while, and only a few people in the army were slightly injured. Nearly 100 natives were killed, and many of them were killed by flintlock guns in the first wave.

The leading officer is General Zhang Tu, a Han Chinese.

Wang Bao saw that Zhang Tu was very young, only 19 or 20 years old.

"Master Wang, are you okay?" Zhang Tu walked over and saw a native injured along the road who was still alive, holding a waist knife in his hand, and slashed.
