RNP Chapter 344
Chapter 344
"Attack their chief's house first."
One hundred and fifty armed citizens of Daming, led by the deputy captain, launched an attack on the nearest tribal chief.
The houses of the tribal chiefs were different, surrounded by a fence and a large piece of land.
Ten blacks patrolled around the chief's house with reduced arm-sized branches in their hands as spears.
Around the chief's house, separated from other blacks by a fence, a hundred head of cattle were kept inside.
A hundred cattle is all the wealth of the chief, the average black, even cattle cannot be raised, and even the land is not theirs.
The chieftain has the right to control all the land in the territory.
These blacks were all the private property of the chief.
Some chiefs even sold black slaves directly to the colonial armies in order to obtain the protection of the colonial armies, including the English, French, Dutch and other countries.
The colonial army sold these blacks to the Americas, started the slave trade, and made twenty to five to ten times the profit.
On the east coast of Africa, the same was true of this tribe encountered by the armed citizens of the Ming Empire, where the chief sold some black slaves to merchants of the English-Italian Empire.
With the money from the sale, he bought a large number of cattle, the number of which in the black tribe symbolized one's wealth and status power.
Ten black young and strong people around him can be regarded as his guards.
The surrounding blacks, inside his fence, were plowing.
Generally blacks did not farm, and only chiefs could use these slaves to cultivate the land.
Even many blacks, they only have a grass hut, and they cannot even cultivate the surrounding land freely.
In front of him, one hundred and fifty Daming armed citizens had approached the wooden fence.
Whew~~
The deputy captain took the lead in pulling the trigger of the serial crossbow machine, and several crossbow arrows flew out in a row.
In an instant, ten black guards, before they could react, all fell to the ground.
"Oooooh~~~"
Some blacks immediately roared non-stop, which was used to alert the blacks of the surrounding tribes.
As soon as the chief walked out of his house, he was shot in the head by a crossbow arrow and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Inside the tribe, seven or eight hundred people were startled by the armed citizens of Daming in front of them.
Although they were good at hunting in Africa, they faced armed citizens armed with firearms and crossbows, and they themselves threw down their wooden spears, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
"Master Guan spare your life!"
These blacks basically did not resist, so they knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
The deputy captain frowned, these blacks were sent to America by the English through the slave trade, and there was little resistance at all.
Like these blacks in front of him, seeing the crossbow and flintlock guns in the hands of the Ming army, there was no desire to resist.
They had been taught by the colonial army of the English Empire before and knew the power of these firearms.
"Deputy Captain, this, this colonization is too easy."
"They all knelt down and surrendered, and they didn't fight much!" , an armed citizen is somewhat blindfolded.
"Deputy Captain, I already knew that we would not come to Africa, these blacks, his mother's most valuable cattle, it is useless for us to get these cattle!"
"It's just, we don't lack food!" , a Daming citizen sitting under a tree, somewhat angry.
"We're all here, let's expand the territory!"
"This African land looks very fertile, and these blacks really waste such good land." , the deputy captain shook his head and sighed.
"Then first occupy this tribe near the coast, do you need to enclose the land and build a city?"
"In this case, His Majesty will definitely let us serve as officials of the Daming Empire here!"
"In this way, we are also citizens who eat imperial food."
The deputy captain thought for a while, and said with a smile: "What are you still stunned about?" "
"Gather all these blacks and go to work."
"Cut down trees, dig up, and turn stones into stones with steel brazing, and we will build cities by the sea."
"Flying pigeons pass on the letter and tell Your Majesty the news that we are building a city on the east coast of Africa."
"This national colonization, I don't know where the other guys colonized."
In the distance, on the coast less than ten miles away from them, the eighth warship of the People's Colony also landed. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
The black tribes they encountered were much more powerful, and even tribal chiefs had built a small city.
It was about the size of a town in the Daming Empire, with more than 8,000 people.
It's a big city in Africa.
The chief also proclaimed himself king and was known as King Soma.
The entire country, that is, this city and the surrounding fifteen tribes, had less than 20,000 blacks under its jurisdiction.
Eight thousand of them lived in the city.
The eighth colonial warship, the captain held a telescope in his hand, looking at the city in front of him, a little confused.
"The wall made of earth is only one meter and five meters high, this fucking city?"
"On this map, we should be on the east coast of Africa, I wonder what the other warships are doing?"
"Just this city, it is not as tall as the walls of one of our villages." , the captain stood on battleship No. 8 and muttered.
The deputy captain said with a smile: "Anyway, they came to colonize, and we can treat these blacks as slaves." "
"Captain, we will directly take this city as a bridgehead for our colonization of Africa."
The captain was a little confused and continued to observe with a telescope.
"This city is not big, the key is that the walls and walls are similar!"
"We can easily defeat them!" , the captain said with a confident look.
The other Daming armed citizens were a little worried at this time.
"Captain, deputy captain, according to our observations, there are at least a few thousand blacks in this city."
"There are only two hundred of us, so I'm afraid we have to be cautious."
"Be cautious about what? Maybe the previous warships have already colonized a large area of land, and we must not colonize it if we encounter difficulties! "
At last, the two hundred armed citizens on the eighth battleship, leaving twenty to watch the docking ships, the others with flintlock guns, each carrying dry rations, headed for the city less than a mile from the sea.
Some armed citizens, before departure, bought telescopes themselves, and some did not want to buy them, so they did not buy them.
Two hundred people, about fifty of whom bought telescopes.
They were all lying on the ground, holding binoculars to observe the city.
The king of Soma in Africa was now discussing with English merchants how many black slaves to surrender.
From November to December every year, it is the day when slaves are handed in.
At this time of year, the King of Soma would pay five hundred black slaves to English merchants.
The English merchants were paid to help King Soma train his army.
The entire Soma king, ruling only 20,000 blacks, created himself an army of 2,000 men.
These armies, all trained by English merchants, had only simple bows and arrows and spears.
The arrows of the bow and arrow are actually made of sharpened stones.
If the English merchants had not seen that the king of Soma had paid them five hundred black slaves a year, they would not have wanted to train such a primitive black nine.
