Chapter 575 Raid the Natives

After the resolution was decided, Gu Sanmazi and Zhang Yida made a little preparation and led 300 fully armed soldiers out of the camp, crossed the grassland and dense forests, and headed eastward.

About fifty miles east of Liusu, there is an native tribe on a hill near the sea.

When the Dutch sailed on the sea, whenever they arrived in a place, they would not reveal their robber nature before their strength overwhelmed the local natives. Instead, they deceived the local natives with a hypocritical appearance, and even gave the native leaders some property to gain the trust and favor of the natives so that they could gain a foothold in the local area.

A few years ago, after the Dutch discovered Australia, they named it New Holland. The ambition to occupy Australia was obvious.

However, since Australia has not developed, the local native tribes are very backward and have little commercial value, so they are not as good as trading with China, Japan, North Korea, Annan and other countries. Therefore, the Dutch did not focus on Australia, but only occasionally sent one or two ships to trade.

This time a Dutch merchant ship came to Australia not to deal with Cheng Bi and his group. In fact, they had to get ashore more than two months earlier than Cheng Bi and others.

After Spain and Portugal discovered America, colonized America and discovered a large number of silver mines, making Spain one of the most powerful countries in Europe and even the world.

Donghai Town produces goods, and the Dutch took away most of the profits as soon as they change hands. In the view of Donghai Town, Huaxing Company and Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants both earn hard money, and the Dutch trades are almost equivalent to robbery, so Zhao Ming wanted to develop ocean trade and get rid of his dependence on the Dutch.

For Donghai Town, the Dutch's means of making money make Zhao Ming envious and jealous, and the Dutch actually have an object of jealousy, that is Spain.

Compared with the Dutch's maritime transportation and being a second-hand dealer, Spain directly drove silver mines from the Americas, which can be said to be directly printing money.

Therefore, compared to Spain, the Dutch feels that they are earning hard money, so they have always envied Spain.

This time, the Dutch merchant ships came to Australia. In addition to trade, they mainly explored the mainland and obtained relevant information to see if they could find silver mines here. Like the Spanish, they only received money.

In the middle of the night, in the native camp, the bonfire flashed, emitting a faint light, and was about to go out.

In the camp, the local people had already rested, and there was only one thatched hut, and there was an oil lamp on, and a sound came out.

At this time, several Dutch people were discussing together. The leading officer said in a deep voice: "There are a thousand Chinese people who landed in New Holland, and they are quite powerful. The attacking natives were easily defeated by them!"

Another spoke out: "New Netherlands belongs to the company. Moreover, judging from the information obtained from the indigenous people, there seems to be a gold mine where the Chinese landed, which is a wealth more precious than the silver mine. We must not let the Chinese occupy it."

The officer said seriously: "Yes, the gold mine belongs to the company and our wealth, and the Chinese must be driven away. I have sent someone to Batavia to report the news and ask the company to send a fleet. Before reinforcements arrive, we must contact the surrounding indigenous tribes, publicize the harm of the Chinese, form a coalition force, and continue to fight against the Chinese."

While the Dutch were discussing, Gu Sanmazi and Zhang Yida led the three hundred Ming soldiers and had already touched the camp of the indigenous tribe.

At this time, the entire tribe was pitch black, with only a few unburned bonfires, and there was silence around them.

Gu Sanmazi and Zhang Yida observed for a while that the indigenous tribes were relatively backward in their civilization, and they did not even build city walls, and there was no wooden fence.

"The camp of Shengfan is on the hillside. If we raid from the foot of the mountain, Shengfan and the Dutch will definitely run to the top of the mountain. At that time, there are many people, and we may not be able to capture the top of the mountain!" Gu Sanmazi said in a deep voice.

Zhang Yida asked in his voice, "What does the general mean?"

Gu Sanmazi sneered: "You took fifty brothers from behind to the top of the mountain and raided from above and down. I led two hundred brothers to ambush the mountain below, and sent fifty brothers to the harbor to take the Dutch ship."

After hearing this, Zhang Yida nodded immediately, and then took fifty soldiers wearing armor, muskets, and grenades and guns hanging around his waist. He walked around the foot of the mountain and headed towards the back mountain.

The indigenous population on Xinmingzhou is not dense, and it is still in the tribal era. It is relatively far apart. No tribe has ever thought about unifying and establishing a regime, so there are few disputes.

Even if there was a conflict between tribes, they would make an appointment to come out, stand in front of each other, shout at each other, dance a group battle dance, and make casual gestures.

In addition, there are no large carnivorous beasts here, so the defense of the indigenous tribes is very slack and there is no concept of night defense at all.

At this time, in the hut, several Dutch people were discussing how to instigate the indigenous people to deal with the Chinese. Suddenly, a loud bang came from the mountain.

Zhang Yida climbed to the top of the mountain from the back mountain, overlooking the indigenous tribes on the hillside, and immediately asked the soldiers to bring stones and push them down from the top of the mountain.

For a moment, pieces of rocks rolled down the hillside quickly, hitting the unprepared indigenous tribes on the mountainside.

The sound of stones rolling down was like thunder. The natives and Dutch people in the tribe were awakened. Before they could run out of the hut, the house was hit by stones.

In an instant, the hut collapsed or a big hole was smashed, and many indigenous and Dutch people were smashed to death and the tribe was in chaos.

Before the Dutch officer could wear a hat, musket, and armor, he escaped from the hut in horror, and saw figures rushing out of the house everywhere.

"Kill!" Seeing this, Zhang Yida roared loudly, raised the musket with the guns inserted into the gun, and rushed down from the top of the mountain.

The rocks rolled forward, and fifty Ming soldiers rushed down with their guns, with aura like a rainbow, like a divine weapon falling from the sky.

In the dark night, the Dutch were already dizzy and frightened by the rocks that rolled down. Now the Ming army rushed down from the top of the mountain, and naturally their souls were scattered.

The Dutch officer, who was led, saw the indigenous chaos, escaped from the house without even taking his equipment, and immediately shouted in Dutch dialect, "Damn it, it's Chinese, escape back to the ship!"

After saying that, the Dutch officers led dozens of Dutch people and ran away. Just as they ran to the foot of the mountain, three rows of figures stood up in the dark opposite.

"Bang bang bang" muskets fired volleys, and the gun flames ejected were like a galaxy flashing in the sky.

Gu Sanmazi roared loudly, "Let it go! Shoot."
