I saw that the faces and bodies of the people in front of me were covered with bumps, and they looked like to be toads, especially under the dim torches, which looked even more disgusting, and I felt like a group of toad spirits.

However, experienced people know that these natives must be survivors of smallpox before. Moreover, when they got smallpox, these natives had no experience and broke the pus cells on their bodies, which made them look like this disgusting

.

Although these natives looked fierce, they knew how to advance and retreat. When they saw that they were black, they immediately threw down their weapons and surrendered. After all, there were only seven or eight people left, and most of them were injured, and there was no escape at all.

Chance.

Unfortunately, Ma Ming, who has been in the army for many years, has no compassion. He only saw a sneer on the corner of his mouth and said with murderous aura: "Kill them all, and then send them to the city to receive a reward!"

Hearing Ma Ming's order, Sam and others who had already prepared were shot immediately. After a few screams, all the surviving natives died. The natives on Java Island were originally hostile to the Han people.

Although I have experienced the disaster of smallpox, it is still difficult to change my nature. Therefore, for the natives on the island, the Daqi official always has only one word, that is, "kill". Even the government has specially distributed some funds for this, each

The natives can exchange their heads for two silos of copper coins, which is a considerable amount.

Next, someone stepped forward to cut off the heads of the natives, and another slave dragged the body outside and buried it. Ma Ming summoned the patrol team that first encountered the natives and asked about the battle between the two sides.

The patrol team was lined up behind Ma Ming and the others, but just as they were advancing along the originally planned patrol route, the wolfdogs around them suddenly discovered the natives who had broken in and rushed up to bite the natives with them.

The patrol team members rushed over, but they didn't expect that there were so many natives. They were no match for a while, so one of them was injured, and the other three were also slightly injured.

Finally, Ma Ming rushed to the place where he discovered the natives, and found that the sugarcane forest there had been cut a lot of pieces, and they were all tied into bundles. It seemed that he was here to steal sugarcane.

"Brother Ma, why is this so strange? It's not difficult to find something to eat in Java. Why do these natives come to us at risk to steal a few bundles of sugarcane?"

A man looked at the sugarcane in the sugarcane field and asked in confusion.

"Yes, and our plantation is so close to Coconut City. There are several plantations such as Li and Zhou on the outside, and they are all planted with sugarcane. Why don't they go there to steal, but they secretly come to us here.

What about stealing?" Another person asked in confusion. These surviving natives usually live in deep mountains and forests far away from the Han people. Even if they are robbing, they will only rob those places far away from the city to plant plants.

I have never heard of them going through several plantations and robbing the city, and just for a few bundles of sugar cane?

Originally, the natives must have known this question. Unfortunately, Ma Ming killed people too quickly and didn't have time to ask. But if you can't figure it out, you won't think about it anymore. Anyway, everyone is dead. Who cares about the natives appearing here?

The reason? Maybe the other party just got lost or had a brain problem.

After such a riot among these dozen natives, many people in the manor were woken up, especially those injured. They also asked the doctors in the manor to help bandage them. Fortunately, except for that slave, the others were the same.

They were all minor injuries, and it would be fine if they were kept for a few days. As for the slave, he was a substitute and blocked the knife. The wound was in the lower abdomen and the internal organs were damaged. It was troublesome to treat it. The conditions in the manor were limited, so the doctor could only

It takes a simple solution and needs to be sent to the hospital in Coconut City tomorrow.

There was nothing else Ma Ming and the others. He just happened to remember that there was still wild boar meat in the corner building. He invited other patrol people to eat and drink, but he didn't dare to drink. After all, the night tonight was not over yet, who would have

Don't dare to be too careless.

It is also worth mentioning that because of the slave's previous heroic performance and the life of a supervisor, the Ma family is now discussing that it is likely to let the slave escape from his slavery and become a free man.

It stimulated the enthusiasm of other slaves, and even in the following time, the sugarcane harvesting speed was much faster than usual.

However, the next morning, after sending the heads of the natives to the city to receive the rewards, they brought a definite news, which allowed everyone to know the origin of this group of natives.

It turned out that just a month ago, a group of hundreds of native robbers attacked a plantation thirty miles southeast of Coconut City. However, the force of this plantation was very strong and it actually resisted the natives with its strong fortress.

In the attack, the regular army sent by Coconut City finally came and wiped out most of the native robbers, but some fish that escaped the net ran away.

Afterwards, Coconut City sent a small group of troops to clear out, and indeed wiped out some of the escaped native robbers. Later, a month passed, and there was no news of the native robbers again, which made Coconut City think that all the escaped natives should have been

After being wiped out, I relaxed. Unexpectedly, there were fish that slipped through the net. This can be confirmed by the appearance of the natives and the weapons they used.

After hearing this news, the people in the Ma Plantation were relieved, but they did not dare to be careless next time. They even sent additional patrol personnel every night, for fear that any fish that missed the net would break in.

In addition, after this incident, Ma Ming, the head of the plantation guard, felt that the plantation was insufficient, and this time it was just a group of bandits who flew out. If there were indeed a group of hundreds of robbers attacking the plantation in the future, it would be very likely that

Can't hold on.

In view of this situation, Ma Ming persuaded others from the Ma family to buy a batch of civilian muskets at a high price. This musket was just launched this year and is also the first batch of muskets to be sold publicly to the public. Although in terms of performance

It is much different from military use, but it is still very sharp for general defense.

For muskets, except for the people in the army, most people in the people only heard of their reputation. It is rumored that the power of this kind of firearm was blown to the sky. It’s a pity that both the Tang Dynasty and the Daqi Dynasty were used to fight muskets.

The management is very strict, and no one is allowed to hold it by the people at all. However, with the development of overseas development by Daqi, the civilian force urgently needs to be strengthened. Therefore, Li Yan finally decided to let the arsenal produce a simple version of muskets for sale to the people in order to

The Han people overseas can have the ability to protect themselves.

However, even if you use a gun by the people, this kind of gun cannot be held by anyone. First of all, you must have a Han household registration. Second, you must have a legitimate reason to buy a gun. Third, when purchasing a gun, only one household registration is allowed.

Buy a gun, and the price of this gun is not cheap, and it is impossible for ordinary people to buy it. Besides, it is impossible for ordinary people to use it. Only those who need to defend it by force are rich people like the Ma family and only need to be protected by force.

Qualified to buy a musket.

Java is a relatively dangerous area, so the number of gun purchases here is relatively loose. The civilian guns purchased by the Ma family were also delivered quickly. There is also a large number of bullets, which are the same as those used in the army.

They are all paper shell bullets. When used, you need to bite the paper, then pour the gunpowder into the medicine pot and barrel, and finally plug the bullet firmly to shoot.

There are 46 Han Chinese household registrations in the entire Ma family manor, so the Ma family can only buy forty-six guns. Then all men, women, young and old in the manor have to learn to shoot, except for slaves.

This decision made Ma Xiaoyu, a lively and active girl, very excited. She pestered Ma Ming every day and hoped to play for a while, but her shooting skills were too smelly, and it was rare to hit a target once after shooting a hundred shots. However, Xiya was very good at shooting.

Her talent is more accurate than most adults at such a young age. Only Ma Ming can beat her in the entire plantation, which surprised Ma Ming very much, and even had the idea of ​​recruiting Xiya into the guards.

This was strongly opposed by Ma Xiaoyu, because Xiya wanted to go to school with her and could not stay in the manor.

Regarding Xiya's need to go to school, Li Yong had already told her that she would study hard in school so that she could take her destiny in her future, so that she would always hold her to school.

A strong fantasy. However, because the Coconut City was newly built, the school had to carry out the final construction some time ago, so I gave the students a few days off. This is also the reason why Ma Xiaoyu has been staying at home. However, the school has already notified me now.

Students can go to school tomorrow.

The Sams didn't know what school was for before, but after contacting people in the plantation, they gradually understood the meaning of going to school. They also knew that only by letting their daughter go to school can she live a better life in the future.

Therefore, the two of them are very supportive, and they don’t need their daughter to help with their work now.

However, the happiest thing about Xiya going to school is Ma Xiaoyu, because it means that she and Xiya can not only play together, but also study together, especially when they are in school, because many children's families usually

They are all in the plantation outside the city and rarely live in the city, so the students usually choose to live in the school. Ma Xiaoyu has long wanted to find a companion, and now she can finally get what she wants.

The day before school, Ma Xiaoyu gave Xiya a schoolbag, and in the evening he pulled Xiya to tell a lot of interesting things about the school. In addition, there are also things to pay attention to when going to school on the first day, which made Xiya also
