Chapter 421 Borneo Ogre
Considering the friendship between his brother Fang Yizhi and Hou Fangyu, Fang Qiyi decided to bring Hou Fangyu out and let him join his company to become an employee. From then on, Hou Fangyu followed Fang Qiyi to Nanyang first, and then crossed the ocean, to Australia and then to America.
Hou Fangyu, who was physically disabled, became very perverted in his psychology. Therefore, when massacring local natives, Hou Fangyu's performance even made the ruthless Eight Banners soldiers look at him with admiration.
Based on his eighteen servants, Sun Lin and Fang Qiyi recruited 500 prisoners as mercenaries in the Qiongzhou prisoner war camp, and purchased four four-pound cannons, three hundred bird guns, fifty turtledove guns, five hundred sets of armor, short swords, shields, strong crossbows and other weapons. They formed an elite private colonial armed team of 518 people, and rented the Princess Zhaoren frigate and six fast crab gun ships, and drove towards the Borneo Island in Nanyang (now Kalimantan Island).
Forty-six miles inside the Kunjiangkou in West Borneo, there is a small town where the Han people live.
Fourteen-year-old Wang Xiaomin, with his ten-year-old brother Hu Zi, was picking mushrooms in the woods by the river. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone shouting in horror: "No, the cannibal man is here!"
Hearing that the cannibalism was coming, Wang Xiaomin hurriedly pulled his younger brother Hu Zi and rushed towards the small town where the Han people lived. The so-called cannibalism is the local indigenous people, that is, the Indonesian natives in later generations. In the original time and space, the two large-scale anti-Chinese periods in the 1960s and 1990s, and the descendants of these people were the descendants of these people.
The brother and brother fled back to the Tucheng, but the other Han people outside were not so lucky. Several Han people were dragged away by the natives, and their fate was imagined.
These indigenous barbarians are real barbarians, and the tribes kill each other. The winners capture the prisoners of the failed side and often barbecued the prisoners to eat meat.
Compared with the same indigenous prisoners, the barbarians prefer to capture the Han people near Kunjiangkou for consumption. The Han people have fair skin and tender skin, and their roasted skin is much more fragrant than those of their indigenous people.
The Han people from Borneo have been here for more than 400 years. When the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, some Han people on the coast of Fujian and Guangdong were unwilling to live under the Mongols' iron hooves to be the fourth-class people, so they came here across the ocean and settled down here.
In the original historical time and space, the Mongol Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and the land of China fell twice. In order to no longer live under the rule of foreign races, countless Han people traveled across the ocean to the Southeast to make a living.
Logically, the history of the Han people immigrating to the South China Sea was more than two hundred years earlier than that of the Western colonists. However, the Han people were unable to establish strong armed forces in the South China Sea. Instead, they were plundered by the indigenous people, and then after the Western colonists came, they established order in the South China Sea. However, the Western colonists were worried that the Han people would not be inferior to the Han people, so they indulged the local indigenous people to organize the massacre of the Han people many times.
This is because the Han people were too timid. If the Han people from the Han and Tang dynasties came here, how could they be the turn of arrogance of the natives and Western colonists? The reason why the Han people became so timid was due to the cowardly dynasty of the north and the south.
The brother and brother fled back to Tucheng. Although it was just a small Tucheng, it was not something that the natives could break.
The weapons of the indigenous people were very simple, with only short spears and bows and arrows. The short spears were made of spearheads made of stones and simply tied to a branch; the bows were made of ropes tied with branches or bamboos, and arrows were made of polished animal bones tied to branches. Such simple weapons scared the Han people so much that they dared not go out of the city to fight.
These natives had their hair cut off and spread to their necks. Many of them had ugly and scary tattoos, dark bodies, dark faces, and their white teeth were revealed when they smiled, as if they wanted to eat people. In the eyes of the Han people, these native ogres were as terrifying as the cow head and horse face painted in the temple.
However, the Han people hiding in the city had the confidence to repel the enemy, because the protection of the city wall gave the Han people a sense of security. This was actually a genetic disease left over from the Song Dynasty. The winning rate of Dakong against foreign enemies was very high, but they were all the results of defending the city. However, in the field, Dakong rarely won.
The natives approached the city and saw a row of crossbow arrows shooting from the top of the city, shooting over the several natives in front of them.
The natives behind saw that the powerful crossbows in the city were so powerful that they did not dare to approach the city wall. They just dragged a few prisoners away, and the bodies of several tribesmen who were shot to death by the powerful crossbow were also taken back by them. In the eyes of the natives, their bodies were also food, and they could not be wasted, and they had to take them back for grilling and eating.
Seeing the indigenous people withdrawing their troops, the Han people breathed a sigh of relief. However, before the Han people in the city felt glad to repel the indigenous people, they heard someone shouting in horror: "Red and Barbarians! Red and Barbarians!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a huge white sail on the Kunjiang River, slowly sailing upstream, followed by several warships.
When they saw the "Red and Barbarian ship", the Han people in the city looked like earth. You should know that such a simple earth city could withstand the attack of the local cannibalism. However, when the Red-Mao Yi's gunboat came, two cannons and three cannons could flatten the earth city! If the city was blown away, what would the Han people use to resist the Red-Mao Yi?
The Han people in the city had powerful crossbows and even clamps, which were not worse than the Red-haired Yi in terms of light weapons, but the Han people did not have cannons, and the cannons of the Red-Armored Ship were extremely powerful and could not be fired at all.
Just when people were worried, a sharp-eyed person discovered it: "It's strange. The small boat following the big red ship is like the ship of our Han people, it's really strange."
The big ship led by the ship approached, and there was a blue-bottomed sun and moon flag hanging on the main mast on the ship, and a flag with Chinese characters hung on the secondary mast. One of them had the word "Square" written on it, and another had the word "Nanyang Company" written on it.
"It should be our Han people's ship." Wang Dahai at the top of the city said.
Wang Dahai was the father of the brother and sister just now. Although he didn't know how to read, he saw that the flag on the ship was written with Chinese characters, not the flags on the Hongmaoyi ship with strange patterns, and then the fire door of the gunboat was not opened, so he was sure that the ship coming was definitely not hostile to him.
Not long after, the fleet docked on the river surface outside the riverside city. Because there was no large pier on the shore, Princess Zhaoren could not dock and could only be parked in the middle of the river.
On the big ship, several small boats were placed, and a large number of people in red clothes got off the big ship and boarded the small boat. Some people rowed their oars and the small boat slowly sailed to the shore.
The boat leaned on the shore and got off the boat a man who looked like a Confucian scholar. He walked towards the Han Tucheng, which was not far from the shore, not far from the shore. The Confucian scholar walked to the city, raised his head and shouted in fluent Jianghuai Mandarin: "We are from the Nanyang Company of the Ming Dynasty, people in the city, open the door quickly!"
People in the city saw the man in the head dressed in Confucian scholar clothes, and the soldiers followed behind were dressed as Ming soldiers. Someone at the city wall was thinking in his mind: "Can they be Han people kidnapped by the Red-Farewell Yi?"
