Chapter 2220: Decided to go to war

Latest website: Now the three mayors and deputy mayors of Johannesburg, Jariens, Kronkamp and Oyer, are the key figures who migrated to Johannesburg that year. They organized the white skins to migrate to the northeast of Cape Town and overcome them along the way. Through all kinds of hardships and obstacles, he fought with the local indigenous people and suffered heavy casualties.

When they set off from Cape Town, they had horses, used thousands of bullock carts to transport all kinds of supplies, drove the sheep out of Cape Town, and headed north to find the new colonial area... and marched vigorously. On the road, they encountered obstacles from the local indigenous people and lack of food. The situation was very difficult and many people fell.

Under the guidance of Father Johannes Pike, they either acquired the land of the indigenous peoples by purchase or contracting, or took advantage of their military superiority to occupy the land by force. They occupied large tracts of fertile plains in the plateau area north of the Orange River, the Vaal River and the Tugela River Basin. It took two full years and more than 2,000 people died!

Among them, on July 16, 1658, 4,000 people from the white skin and about 8,000 troops led by the chief chief of the Nguni tribe, Lando, fought the most fierce battle in the Nkham River.

The Nguni tribe suffered huge casualties, blood flowed into a river, the river turned red, and the river was blocked. This battle was called the "War of the Blood River" by later generations.

—————

Baipi worked together and defeated the tribe, but in this battle, their revered Father Johannes Pike was called and shot by the tribe. The city was named after him.

After the manor was established and opened to the gold mine, due to poor environmental sanitation and protection, many people died in the kiss of the beast and harmed by disease.

They eventually established the capital of gold mines, established a road to the sea, and they continued to fight and fight with the tribes.

It's so hard to come by, how can you give it up!

What makes the citizens even more angry is that the heretics from the East want to grab it after a long time to live a prosperous life!

Playing is necessary, the question is how to play.

The crowd is raging, and the white skins are clamoring to fight head-on.

Today, there are 25,000 people who can fight with Baipi. This is not a small force, and since all of them can gain a foothold in Jindu, they need strength and strength, marksmanship and marksmanship, and several cannons.

Baipi is a half-orc, and half-orcs have not evolved completely. They are violent and do bad things. They are the only ones who bully others and don't want others to bully them. Now that they are hit by infidels, they naturally can't bear it.

Only Brisbane, the leader of Cape Town withdrew to Johannesburg, shouted: "The enemy is strong and we are weak. Don't underestimate the enemy. Don't fight head-on!"

He strongly advocates not to fight the Chinese. The best way is to evacuate the city, fight guerrillas outside the city, cut off the Chinese food, and attack the weak points of the Chinese. When the Chinese manpower is exhausted, he will fight back and retake it. City, victory.

"Why retreat?" Mayor Jariens asked without shame.

"The Chinese do not believe in religion. They are hardworking, brave, and obey the orders of the chief, and they are not afraid of death. They have a very high level of guns and have a strong supply capacity. They have a large number of artillery, all using flintlocks, and there are many more. Fortunate guns (a European name for rifled guns), those rifled guns shot very far, their marksmanship are very accurate..." Brisbane said of their failure in Cape Town, and mentioned it once before. , But everyone does not believe it!

Because the Chinese army he mentioned is impeccable, it is the army of God, and the proud white-skinned people do not believe that there is such an army in the world.

Seeing everyone still not believing, thinking about head-on with the Chinese, Brisbane was anxious and revealed his own stinking history: "The Chinese are the reincarnations of demons. They defeated us in Asia and drove us from Southeast Asia to here. It is easy to have a chance to make a fortune, and the Chinese are here again. If we do not deal with them seriously, we are afraid that the old things in Southeast Asia will repeat themselves!"

When he said his words, he offended everyone, all with a gloomy face, thinking of those unbearable days!

Not too long ago, in the not-too-distant era, the Dutch were sea horse-drawn carriagemen, so energetic, they controlled Asia east of the Strait of Malacca, so proud that the British could not cross the Strait of Malacca!

At that time, the silver Japanese country, which was locked in the country, only traded with the Dutch. The Dutch were the nominal occupiers of Taiwan. More importantly, the Dutch monopolized the Spice Islands and started a lucrative spice business. The second richest man, second only to the Spaniard who has a mine at home.

However, the rise of the Chinese captured Southeast Asia and drove the Dutch to Africa to be with Uncle Black, and the Dutch's business also plummeted.

When a gold mine was discovered, the Chinese came to grab it again.

It is tolerable, which is unbearable!

Deputy Mayor Kronkamp raised his arms and shouted: "We are the army of God, and we must be able to defeat the infidels!"

The others also responded indignantly: "Yes, send troops to defeat the infidels!"

So with unanimous approval, the city council passed a bill to quickly start a war against the Chinese, preparing to summon all warriors to face the enemy head-on and eliminate the infidels who have committed the crime!

Seeing that their opinions were not accepted, the lawmakers arbitrarily fought with the Chinese. Brisbane was a guest army and had no voting rights. Even if they voted, they could not pass his battle plan.

However, after the meeting ended, the mayor Jarions sent someone to find him and asked him to sit in the "Forever Augustus" cafe in the city!

This cafe is located in the middle of the mountain outside the city, and you can see the densely packed houses in the city, and the scene is impressive.

The name "Forever Augustus" is very resounding. In fact, it is a tulip with brilliant and bright flowers painted on the signboard of the cafe. This is a rare variety of tulip, the price of this tulip in 1623. It was 1,000 guilders, and by 1636 it had risen to 5,500 guilders.

In February 1637, when the average annual income of the Dutch was only 150 guilders, the price of an "Eternal Augustus" was as high as 6,700 guilders. This price is enough to buy a mansion by the canal in Amsterdam, or 27 tons of cheese!

Tulip speculation broke out in the Netherlands, and the price of tulips was so high that the speculation failed and the price of tulips fell to the bottom.

This incident made the Netherlands greatly hurt, but the Dutch still like tulips, so some people still use it as a signboard.

Brisbane arrived at the cafe ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Seeing Jarions sitting in a remote place, he walked over and took off his hat to the mayor.

Jariens asked him to sit down, and the waiter brought coffee and left. The mayor's entourage and Brisbane's entourage were far away and could not hear their conversation.

Jarrians stirred the coffee in the cup, and a strong aroma came out, refreshing.

He said: "This is China's'Nanyang' brand coffee. It tastes good and is cheap. It beats the rest of the world's coffee brands!"

Brisbane had drunk before, nodded and said: "It's not bad!"

"You are not bad too!" Jariens continued, "You can figure out the best way to deal with the Chinese. No one else can compare to you!"

"My Lord Mayor, you..." Brisbane looked at Jarions in amazement.

Since I think he is reasonable, why doesn't Jarions help him?
