Chastity Layman

Qin Lang took Jia Wu to the pier and found a place to sit down.

Facing the sea breeze, listening to the sound of seabirds.

"Speak slowly, don't rush!"

Jia Wu had no choice but to come to Qin Lang for help, and the islanders were already coming to besiege San Francisco. The matter is actually not complicated. After the Qin family landed in Manila Bay, they fought several times with the natives here. After they were defeated, the natives were forced to move away.

As for the Qin family, they didn't kill them all, so let's just leave.

At that time, the Qin family was focused on establishing a base area, and later they were busy recruiting people to come to mine for gold mining and establish plantations.

For a while, the Qin family and the Daofan lived together peacefully.

But as the Qin family's power on the island stabilized, in addition to mining and reclamation, they also began to build cities and villages, and began to recruit and trade with the surrounding islands.

After going through the first stage of trade and recruitment, with the battle between Maye Village and Batangas Village, the Qin family and the aborigines on the island officially entered the second stage.

The Qin family wiped out two Dabarangai with more than 1,000 households in a row, especially the way they dealt with these two villages, which deeply shocked other Balangai and even Dawutu people.

Four Datu were killed and five horses dismembered their bodies. Their family males were cut in half, and their family members and soldiers were taken away by captives, even the free Tewama were not spared, and only Alipin was left in the end.

This fate made all the Datus very angry.

The Qin family didn't leave any way of life for them at all. It wasn't just for them to pay tribute, not only for them to be their Rajah, but also to drive them all to death.

As a result, although Ma Su'er, who was the first to join forces, was defeated and killed, the other Barangays quickly joined forces. They decided not to move and retreat, and decided to unite to fight the Qin family.

He even took the initiative to let go of hundreds of years of grievances and formed an alliance with the first batch of immigrants and the integration of the aboriginals.

They run around in series and make alliances with blood.

All Barangay villages are united with the big house, and the Datu and elders of each village gather together with the nobles and warriors in the village.

Under the oppression of the Qin family, they fully united for the first time.

Elect a commanding officer, formulate a battle plan for the attack, and begin to fight against the Qin family.

The strength of the San Francisco security team is still good, but the number is not very large. After the war with the natives, they won many battles at the beginning, but the more they fought, the more they went wrong, because this time the natives fought more and more.

As time went by, although they defeated the attacking natives several times, they even sent scouts to find some villages of the natives, and launched a counterattack to retaliate.

However, more natives gathered from all directions, and the security team was constantly attacked in the field, and finally they all had to withdraw to San Francisco and several gold rush camps.

"We have already had to abandon several gold mining camps and some plantation manors. Those people are like locusts, everywhere, and they are very wretched. They always appear in the dark and cannot be guarded against. We have lost many people. Now the transportation in the wild The security team is not safe anymore, our security team has limited manpower and is stretched, so we can't guard here but not there."

"Furthermore, Mayeh Village and Batangas Village, which we conquered earlier, were also captured by these natives. They slaughtered all the natives who came to us, leaving no one behind."

There are more than 2,000 households in the two villages, and there are more than 10,000 people. Just because they belonged to the Qin family and hesitated when they asked to join them, they immediately broke into the village and slaughtered all men, women, and children.

For frontal combat, the security team is still very strong, but the problem is that these natives are now attacking the Qin family's gold mining camps, mines, farms, and transport vehicles, boats, etc., and do not fight directly with the Qin family security team.

The Qin family's stall is so big now, the number of security teams is limited after all.

"We have also started to organize groups to practice self-protection, but it is still too much."

"Not only is San Francisco caught up in the siege of indigenous people, but the same situation is happening on Xinjinshan."

Qin Lang listened carefully, he did not expect such a situation in Luzon Island.

The natives, who were originally scattered like sand, were able to unite quickly. Even the old and new immigrants, Dajiawu and Barangay, who had been fighting each other for hundreds of years, could unite because of the common enemy of the Qin family.

"Now many of our mines and farms have been destroyed or forced to stop production, and many transportations have also stopped. The daily losses are huge, and we have also detected that these natives are still planning to jointly attack the city of San Francisco!"

Qin Lang comforted him, "If the natives really have this plan, then they don't have to be afraid. This is a way to break the situation. Now these natives have been playing guerrilla warfare with us and engaging in attacks and sabotage, which will give us a headache, but if they dare If you gather together and dare to besiege San Francisco, this is a hot-headed suicide."

"Saburo, we need reinforcements, the number of security forces is limited after all."

"We have to mobilize the masses, mobilize all the miners, farmers, traders, etc. on Qindao, and set up rewards, such as how much reward you can get for killing an islander, what is the price for men, women, strong, weak, old and young, and what is the price for a prisoner?" How much is it, as long as the reward is attractive enough, I believe everyone is willing to fight."

"Of course, we also need to provide everyone with convenient weapons and equipment, and even help them train."

"I will send reinforcements. Our Qin family still has many retainers in Wu'an Mansion, and each family has a lot of guards in their hands. In addition, we also have many mercenary regiments in the South China Sea, which can also be dispatched."

Of course, Qin Lang believes that what Qindao needs most is not only reinforcements, but an overall and firm strategic plan.

For example, how should we deal with these natives in the future, exterminate them or recruit them?

What is the strength of suppression, and what conditions are required for appeasement.

To fight defensively, or to take the initiative?

Only when the overall situation is coordinated, it is not easy to mess up.

After calming down, Qin Lang carefully began to think about the situation in Luzon. It can be said that the resistance of the natives is actually inevitable.

Because the Qin family will definitely continue to expand, and this will eventually lead to inevitable conflicts of interest between them and the original natives, and this conflict is even fundamental.

Even if the Qin family's strategy has been reserved, such as formulating a security policy, as long as they belong to the Qin family, they will retain their land, financial resources, slaves, etc., and only collect tithes from them. It is not said that those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish,

It doesn't mean that the Qin family is going to capture every village, degrade everyone into slaves, and take all their property as their own.

Although Qin Lang had already drawn the red line, in the future Qindao should be dominated by Han people and Han civilization should be the foundation, but in the early days, the restraint policy like the imperial court was still necessary, as long as he was willing to cooperate, he would definitely Also have preferential treatment.

Of course, if Qin Lang can be more gentle, for example, as long as those villages are willing to accept the recruitment, accept and respect the Qin family as the lord of Luzon Island, then the Qin family will grant them the title of Datu and retain all their original rights , Even tithes are not levied at all, and they are not required to send protons or perform hard labor. I believe the natives may be more acceptable.

But for Qin Lang, such a concession was too big.

So now the natives are united to attack the Qin family. This should be said to have been expected at the beginning, but it didn't come so soon.

On the same day, Qin Lang told the princess that he was going back to Taiping Port to deal with some affairs, but the princess didn't stop her, and asked what happened, Qin Lang said it was just some trivial matters, and the princess didn't take it to heart.

After bidding farewell to the princess, Qin Lang returned to Taiping Port by boat, and then sent someone to gather the Qin family's vassals who had entrusted them in Wu'an.

These people are now all powerful gentry from the five prefectures and fifteen counties in the Wu'an Dudufu. They are all landlords and also run businesses.

Before that, Qin Lang granted them the title of knight, and later the imperial court awarded them the corresponding honorary officers, and then also served as the head of the village, such as the head of the village, and the head of the village.

The officials sent by the imperial court to represent the imperial power and the imperial court, such as the chief governor of the governor's mansion, the governor of the state inspection school, and the county magistrate, manage the city and municipal affairs of Wu'an, but in the countryside, the imperial power does not go to the countryside, and it is these officials who actually manage .

They are still closely united around the Qin family all these years. It can be said that they live a very good life. They have fields in their hands, run mines, workshops, and also do sea trade. The bastards and offshoots of noble Qi's powerful family, who has not earned a large family fortune in Wu'an Mansion now?

Qin Lang has a call.

After each family received the news, they all rushed to Wu'an Taiping Port.

In Wei Gongbao, many people gathered.

Even the governor's mansion was alarmed, and the governor's manor Shi hurriedly came to meet Qin Lang in person, asking what happened, why did almost all the gentry and powerful men in Wu'an mansion suddenly focus on it?

"It's a business matter, Chang Shi doesn't need to worry." Qin Lang was busy meeting with his retainers, and Chang Shi was entertained by a steward.

"Business, what happened to the business?"

"Overseas business is not from Wu'an Mansion."

the other side.

Qin Lang walked into the extremely noisy outdoor meeting place in the garden, and warmly greeted all the old guys. Qin Lang could accurately call out the names of most of them.

After walking around lively and saying hello, Qin Lang returned to the upper seat.

"Everyone be quiet!"

Qin Lang pressed down with both hands, and the audience immediately fell silent.

"Recently, the princess is pregnant, and I have been staying with you on Long Island, and I haven't seen you for a long time. Today, I specially called you here because something happened on Treasure Island, and some island natives are making trouble. Jin The Yindao Qin family invested a lot of money and spent a lot of energy. At the beginning, they also brought everyone together. Basically, everyone here has also invested money or directly operated there, so now something happened there. Everyone is closely related, and I would like to inform you hereby.”

Jia Wu came out and briefly explained the situation.

Then Qin Lang continued, "The matter is just such a matter. It's not big, but it's also related to everyone's interests, so I have to inform everyone."

"What's more, since Daobo wants to start a war with us, we can't let him down. I plan to start a counterattack to destroy them. Now I hope that everyone will contribute their strength and force. Of course, we will not treat them badly afterwards. Everyone."

"After we have defeated and wiped out these islanders, we will share the fruits of victory according to everyone's efforts and achievements. In addition to the captured islanders, captured money and livestock, the villages and fields of the islanders will also be divided up at that time. .”

Qin Lang proposed that at that time, the same as how the knights were entrusted in Wu'an Prefecture, the villages and fields of Daofan would be distributed to each family. The enfeoffed fields, mountains and forests can be hereditary and permanent, and they can enjoy all the rents collected on these lands one-third of.

This is tantamount to Qin Lang's entrustment of the Wu'an knights in Treasure Island again. As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits were lifted!
