Chapter 109: Amicable transaction
The arrow was shot from the verdant seaside woods. The sailor did not counterattack. The team behind him approached and protected a guy in military uniform without a rank. That guy was Chen Hebin.
Chen Hebin and his uncle Chen Yichuan used to go to Taiwan to collect deerskins. They were looking for local aboriginals. Businessmen pay attention to communication. Chen Hebin has learned the native language of the local aboriginals (let's be regarded as Gaoshan), which can come in handy.
There are actually many indigenous tribes in Taiwan (of course they are very small), and there is no jurisdiction among them. Some tribes close to the Han settlements have been wisely integrated in. In fact, there are no less than 3,000 naturalized aboriginals in Southeast Fuzhong.
Some other tribes saw that the Hans were powerful and crowded with guns. They did not dare to fight and did not want to mix. They gradually migrated to the mountains. The Han people live in the plains and the indigenous people occupy the mountains. Everyone is in peace.
Taipei is different. There is almost no contact between the tribe and the Han people. The Southeast Army was warned as soon as it landed. So Chen Hebin spoke in the native language to the woods, to the effect that we are your friends. Friendship is here, and I hope you will send someone who can talk to me to meet with me, so we can discuss it with you.
A few minutes later, a group of tribes gathered around a big man with guns, bows and arrows, and they met.
Neither side trusts anyone. The tribes wind their bows and arrows, while the Marines have long spears, shotguns, and shorts in their hands. The muzzle faces up and can be fired at any time.
The two sides approached, Chen and Bin squinted their eyes to look at each other. They saw that the heads of their wooden spears were made of metal, and the arrows of their bows and arrows were made of metal. Each of them had deerskin armor. Everyone looked good and obviously nourishing. Keep up, so the muscles are strong and they look aggressive. . . This is a difficult tribe to deal with.
"I'm Chen Hebin from the southeast clan of the Han people." Chen Hebin said simply, without mentioning his official title. After all, the natives did not know his official rank.
"I am the chief of the Nahu tribe, Achiche!" said the strong native in the middle with tattoos all over his body.
"Hello there!"
Chen Hebin will be a man, and first present a gift: three small ceramic rums and a pack of happiness brand milk candy.
He took a bottle of rum, removed the mud seal, gave himself a sip (to show that it is non-toxic), and then handed it to Acchiche, motioning him to drink it.
As a result, Archie took a bite and coughed violently.
Immediately drew their swords, his subordinates thought that the Han was trying to kill the boss, and they raised their bows and shouted, while the Marines were unwilling to show weakness and fought at close range. Their guns were aimed at the faces of the tribesmen.
Once you do it, slap, slap, and slap!
Heroes, fall down with one shot, if not, add another shot.
Use a shotgun at close range to hit the face with great lethality, what's the fear?
Fortunately, Achiche calmed down his cough in time. Seeing the fierce appearance of the Marines, he quickly drank the tribe. He and Chen Hebin both raised their hands, and both sides stopped fighting.
He took another bite, and this time he didn't make a fool of himself.
A little smile appeared on Achiche's face and said, "Good wine!"
Then Chen Hebin peeled a piece of candy and ate it for himself, then peeled off another candy and asked Ache to eat it.
Next, Chen Hebin peeled a few more candies and asked other tribesmen to eat.
is so sweet!
All the tribesmen who have eaten sugar have straight eyes, they have never eaten such a delicious thing in their entire life!
"Small buns!" The Marines secretly BS them, but they didn't expect the same reaction when they sent the candy.
Milk candy is a serious military supply. The officers and soldiers have a share, and everyone ate it very happily.
……
The atmosphere eased, Chen Hebin said it meant: their Southeast Mansion wanted to find a site in the mouth of the river, so that the ships could rest and supply fresh water, and also give the officers and soldiers a place to go ashore to rest.
He said very kindly, indicating that the Nahu tribe can rent or sell land to them, and the price is easy to negotiate.
Why didn't you use Musketeers to push down the Nahu tribe from the beginning?
That was an order from Yan Changwu, and it was also the dogma of the Southeast Army.
"If the army doesn't fight, it's all there, and if you fight, you must win!"
"Don't fight unprepared battles, don't fight unnecessary battles! Cherish the life of every soldier!"
Therefore, Chen Hebin first salutes the soldiers, otherwise they are fighting for a beach landing battle. The soldiers are alone in the field, and they don't know where the arrows will kill them. After they get a foothold, they will be a defense battle with bases. The combat situation will be completely different!
Achiche blinked, and Chen Hebin was a little surprised by the price. He heard him say, "What if I want a thousand guns in your hands?"
know the goods! Chen Hebin said without hesitation: "Sorry, this is not for sale!"
Achiche's eyes fell cold and said: "If you don't, then we won't allow you to go ashore."
Chen Hebin showed a cold smile on his face and said, "Really? It's really not possible to discuss?"
Achiche is to be sure, but I saw the eyes of the Han people wearing armor on the opposite side: disdain, cruel, this is the eyes of a warrior who has seen blood in battle!
Chen Hebin is a rare talent. The Southeast Mansion cannot put him in danger. The Marines sent to protect him are all veterans~www.wuxiaspot.com~, showing their power.
Achiche had seen such a look. He had seen a lot more when fighting with other tribes. Then he saw dozens of small boats loaded with landing crews and large ships on the sea in the distance. He moved in his heart. The words came back to the lips.
Later, when the military organized the generals to write memoirs, Achiche admitted that this was the wisest decision in his life.
One side is life, the other is death, he chose the way of life.
Achiche motioned to a tribe behind to drop a large piece of buckskin and said, "Give you such a big place!"
Hearing his words, Chen Hebin showed anger on his face, but soon woke up and shouted, "Get the knife!"
Seeing someone cut the deer skin into thin strips with a knife, Archie smiled slightly and asked, "How much do you pay?"
Chen Hebin ordered to go down, and after a while, a small boat brought back 20 barrels of rum and a load of milk candy (all 100 catties) and gave them to Accheche.
Achiche didn't care about it, and high-five with Chen Hebin, and the transaction was completed.
…………
In fact, Chen Hebin was cutting the deerskins, cutting them in the middle, and then splicing them together, and they used the cut out long deerskins to encircle only half of the site, and the other half was the sea, but Achiche didn’t say anything. They circled a large area of land.
With the site, the Marines started frantically: digging trenches, cutting wood for camps, leveling the land, building barracks, and transporting supplies. One day later, a camp stands at the junction of the river and the sea.
Three days later, a simple wharf was built using cement and sand. Small warships and supply ships could berth, transport a large amount of supplies, artillery was pushed ashore, and a watchtower was added to the camp.
In this way, the Southeast Army initially had a foothold.
