Chapter 21 Shuizhou
Before the sun set, Ke Lifeng led his soldiers to Oahu Island.
I saw groups of natives kneeling on the beach with grass skirts and breasts exposed.
"What's going on?" Ke Lifeng asked.
A captain who landed in advance replied: "Report to the commander, through the communication of spies, these Polynesians regard us as gods."
"For them, maybe we are God. Let's continue to let a warship fire a few shots at the hillside in front, and it will be easier to do it."
"yes."
A battleship in the distance slowly turned, revealing its muzzle,
"Boom, boom..."
The fires soared into the sky and the gravels were flying. The Polynesians lying on the ground were trembling in fear, and their timid crotch was already wet.
Ke Lifeng called the spy over and ordered: "Tell them that we are here to bring them a happy life and can work in our city in the future. If we are not obedient, we will lower the punishment of heaven like before. We will also handle it when we land on other large islands tomorrow. Our university is invalid for them. We must let them learn our language as soon as possible. Your Majesty has different attitudes towards foreign races. For modern time and space, we will leave space for them to live. If there is hatred, there will be revenge and revenge."
"yes."
At night, stars shone, Ke Lifeng and fleet officers, officials stationed in Shuizhou and commanders of the squadron sat around the campfire, skewers of grilled fish or barbecue with oil, making a "sizzling sound."
Ke Lifeng took the grilled fish handed over by Youcheng and chewed it: "Tomorrow, a fleet will be sent to occupy all the islands of the archipelago. His Majesty will order the construction of cities, forts and castles on major islands, mainly Oahu Island, and a comprehensive dock and shipyard will be established. Leave a reserve for the indigenous people and use our industrial products to tempt them to work in the city. They can give them a slightly lower reward and move the indigenous people on the island to the large island where we have cities for easy management. The Shuizhou Squadron must ensure the safety of nearby routes and patrol regularly. In the future, if the population increases, a battalion-level force and a shore defense fort force will be established here. This will be the most important supply station for our central Pacific routes, and there will be no loss."
You Chengdao: "I will add that the soldiers stationed in Shuizhou will hold their crotch and can only select high-quality alien beauties. You cannot force them and must not make mistakes on this point. The occupation will be completed tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow all the fleet officials will rest for a day, and the patrol mission will be handed over to the squadron, and the day after tomorrow will set off."
"Yes, commander, chief of staff."
The next morning, the soldiers crawled out of the tent, and the unburned wood on the bonfire in front of the door made a "bang, bang" sound from time to time. The morning mist was shrouded in the morning mist. As the clouds of sunshine fell, the dewdrops on the grass blades reflected a little white light, just like a fairyland.
The camp was getting noisy and there were soldiers washing up everywhere. The chefs were busy making breakfast and cooking smoke.
After dinner, the crew of each ship who had taken the occupation mission boarded their ships, raised black smoke, slowly sailed out of the bay, and headed towards the major islands.
"Report to the commander, the native chiefs want to see you."
Ke Lifeng, who was enjoying breakfast with the Chief of Staff in the tent, was interrupted by the guard's report.
"Let him in."
The chief with a colorful feathered crown was led by the guards and lay on the ground as soon as he entered the tent, holding up a pink gem as big as a fist and looking at Ke Lifeng for a while.
Youwan said to the guards: "Let someone spy come."
"yes."
"Commander, do you think he has come to offer treasures?"
"It should be, this gem is very rare."
After a while, under the translation of the spy, he learned that the chief was going to present their clan treasure to the Divine Emperor. You Cheng took the gem and said to the spy: "Ask him where this gem came from?"
"Report to the Chief of Staff, he said that it has been hundreds of years since he picked it up from the sea."
Ke Lifeng smiled and said, "Do you think there is a mine here? When the transport ship returns, he asks them to take the gems back and present them to His Majesty. The guards give them 100 iron pots, kitchen knives and finished clothes, which is our return gift."
"yes."
Youcheng handed the breakfast on his table to the chief, "If you eat, you must learn our language as soon as possible in the future so that you can move from barbarism to civilization as soon as possible."
The trembling chief took the snow-white bun under the spy's translation, smelled it, and took a big bite as he learned from Ke Lifeng.
“Wow, wow…”
The chief, who had never eaten pasta and stuffed with various seasonings, was already crazy and jumped around excitedly.
"Tell him that if you do things for us in the future, you will be able to eat this food every day."
"When the chief heard this, he lay down on the ground and kowtowed hard."
After putting on his clothes under the guidance of the spy and teaching him to cook with iron pots, the chief and ten short natives returned with a lot of harvest. Of course, there were dozens of buns on his back, and no one gave them any good packages. The soldiers who met along the way looked at them with a smile, wearing feather crowns and Hanfu, which made the soldiers truly realize the true meaning of the monkey crown.
At night, all the ships carrying out the mission had returned, and they brought back some natives on the island.
"How is the situation in other islands?" Ke Lifeng asked You Cheng who was reading the battle report.
"No problem. The soldiers on Maui were attacked by the indigenous people before they landed. They fired more than a dozen guns and killed hundreds of people and surrendered. No one on our side was injured. All the islands were roughly counted. The number of indigenous people was about 130,000, and there were many men and girls. According to the spies, their tribes would also row canoes to fight on other islands. This is the case all year round, so there were very few men.
Outside the reserved areas of major island cities, they have been broken up and mixed together for resettlement."
"Just do it like this. Our mission has been completed. We will take a day off tomorrow and continue to set off. The rest will be handed over to the officials and squadrons of Shuizhou. We cannot complete all our work."
On November 15, the fleet that had been resting and resting for energy set off again.
On November 19, the fleet found the Marshall Islands and established a supply point in Majuro Atoll. After the 10th century, a small town will be established.
On November 23, 300 kilometers east of Guam, the fleet encountered the first strong wind and huge waves after going to sea. Under the advance notice of the fleet weather observer, all the ships were closely connected together to form a circle with iron chains, facing the strong wind and drifting with the waves. After the storm the next day, the ships were slightly damaged, but the route was deviated by more than 100 kilometers.
After simple maintenance, the fleet that revised the route set off again, crossing the Sulawesi Sea on November 27 and reaching Luzon.
The "South Ocean" region refers to the southeastern region of Asia, including the Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Islands region. The land area is 4.49 million square kilometers and the sea area is 7.5 million square kilometers. The region is located between the two continents of Asia, Australia, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. The sea and land are intertwined, the terrain is complex, and the geographical location is extremely important.
At present, Spain has occupied the entire Luzon, with more than ten cities mainly composed of three castles, Lavague, Manila and Santa Cruz, the Netherlands has occupied the entire Indonesian archipelago, Portugal has occupied the Strait of Malacca, and Macau, which has rented it out of the Ming Dynasty.
