Chapter 1184 The Liberator
After Shan Sili arrived with his troops, the battle ended quickly.
"Which dog slave is so rampant, dare to ambush my Qin family?"
The murderous 'red-haired ghost' Shan Sili held the golden nail Zaoyang lance and yelled, Jia Wu came over covered in blood.
"You are hurt?"
"These people can't hurt me, it's all their blood." Jia Wu shook his clothes, "It's still the second brother Shan, who had expected these people to have problems, **** it, he really ate the bear's heart and leopard's courage He actually wanted to trick us into entering the village and then ambush us, but luckily our second brother reminded us, so we stayed alert and didn't relax at all after entering the village, otherwise, we would really capsize in the gutter today!"
Shan Sili grinned, knowing that although Jia Wu was usually glib, this guy was also sharp, "How about the casualties?"
"fine!"
The security team suffered very few casualties, and they were on guard from the beginning to the end. Jia Wu discovered the problem early, never dispersed his troops, and controlled Gu Macilang's family. Finally, when Ma Suer was forced to attack, Tang Jun was not caught off guard either.
Relying on excellent equipment, well-trained training, rich combat experience, tacit cooperation, etc., Jia Wu led his men to stand on the big drying field and set up a formation, so that these Barangays would know What is a battle formation.
Like a forest of spears, making them look like a hedgehog, leaving no place for the Maye villagers rushing around, and the crossbowmen in the formation keep bowing, and almost every time the strings sound, one person will fall down.
There are only 200 soldiers left in Maye Village, plus the 100 brought by Masur, the number of 300 soldiers is not enough to suppress the security team, and the equipment is even more backward. Generally, there is no armor, and the number and quality of shields are not good.
Their weapons are mainly short spears and short knives, and a small amount of bows and arrows.
Jia Wu was calm and did not rush to kill, but directed the defensive counterattack. With the courage of the moment, the barbarians charged from all sides, shouting loudly, trying to disperse them in one fell swoop, but they rushed forward for a while, leaving only corpses everywhere. Then no one dared to jump up again.
At this time, the cavalry outside the village and the infantry left behind also came in, and there was no suspense in the battle.
This was much easier than when Jia Wu brought mercenaries to fight the Chenla army in the jungle for Linyi. Their casualties were few, only some unlucky guys were injured by throwing guns or bows and arrows, but the head and chest and other important parts were all injured. There is armor, so none of them died or were seriously injured.
Shan Sili looked at Gu Ma Cilang who was knocked to the ground and tied up, and said with a sneer, "You dog slave is really brave!"
The security team is still searching the whole village and cleaning house by house.
More and more Maye villagers were driven out.
"How do I wrap it up now?"
Shan Sili glanced at Jia Wu, "This is the trouble, how can we finish it, of course we have to make an example."
The battle was over, and all the people in the village were driven to the large empty field in the village, where they knelt all over the ground under the swords and guns of the security team.
"So that's how it is. I said, why are you so bold? It was actually instigated by outsiders."
"Where is the person, did you catch him?"
After interrogation, it was discovered that a new big Barangay sailboat came to Maye Village today, and three Barangay Datus came.
It's just that before they had time to act, Shan Sili just happened to come to the door.
"It seems that we really came in time and thwarted a conspiracy."
"Yeah, those damned guys, luckily we made it in time."
"Have those three been caught?"
"Caught two."
"Run one?"
"No, he was shot in battle."
The cavalry sent out quickly found the hidden Barangay sailboat in the upper bay of the pier. The people on board tried to escape, but they couldn't escape the warship of the Qin family's water police team and were quickly captured.
Dan Sili climbed to the second floor of the wooden house of Gu Macilang's house, from here he could overlook the whole village and have a panoramic view.
"This place is not bad, with more than 1,200 households, it is quite a big village. It's a pity, I don't know current affairs!"
Originally, according to San Francisco's plan, it was mainly to actively recruit the surrounding natives. As long as they were willing to submit, they would also retain some benefits for the native chiefs. For example, their land and slaves were still protected. The Qin family treated them The villages carry out land measurement and population registration, and then collect tithes according to the land, assign labor according to the population, and even grant these chieftains village chiefs and other positions.
The affairs of the village are still left to them to manage themselves, just like the villages in the Central Plains where the imperial power does not come down to the county, they are still handed over to the clan tycoons to manage and govern themselves.
But since these chieftains are ignorant of current affairs, no one is to blame.
"There is no need to keep this village."
"This place is pretty good. Although it's on an island, you can see that it's on the plain at the mouth of the river. The terrain is flat and the land is fertile. There are so many well-cultivated fields. The location of this village is also pretty good. Abandoned, yes Isn't it a bit of a waste?"
Jia Wu felt that it was a pity. The important thing is that even if the tithes are levied for these more than a thousand households, they can still collect a lot of food and so on every year.
Although it is more than 300 miles away from San Francisco, they are all by the sea anyway, and it is more convenient to ship by sea.
Moreover, Jia Wu felt that the island was quite big, and if he controlled Maye Village, he would be able to establish a stronghold on this island, which would facilitate the control of the entire island in the future.
But Shan Sili didn't think about it that much. Those things should be considered by the mayor of San Francisco or the old men of the City Deacon Council while drinking tea, or they may need to be reported to Wei Gongbao in Taiping Port, and they will be done there. make a final decision.
The purpose of his trip is to solve the Maye Village attack on the Qin envoy and the merchant ship. Of course, now he has to add a charge of ambushing the security team.
Finally, Shan Sili called a meeting of all team officers and above, and discussed a result, which should be killed or killed, but in the end how to deal with it is up to the higher-ups.
Gu Macilang, Masur, Yiluo three Datu were pulled up.
"Five horses divide the body, follow the example with respect!"
Five mounted police officers from the security team stepped forward to enforce the execution, and the shocked villagers exclaimed.
Immediately afterwards, the brothers, nephews and other adult males of the Gumacilang family were beheaded in half.
Many Barangay villagers knelt and kowtowed in fright.
But Shan Sili was as cold as ice.
Fortunately, this person did not intend to slaughter the village. In the end, all the villagers were divided into four classes according to their class, namely Mahalika, who was Datu's military servant, and Tewama, who was a freeman. And Alipina Mamahe, who was a tribute payer, and Alipina Kedah, who was the lowest slave.
The treatment for Mahalika was to bring them back to San Francisco together with their families. These people were unstable factors, so their ending might be to do hard labor in San Francisco for a period of time, and finally shipped back to the Central Plains to be sold as slaves.
As the Tevama branched out of the former warrior class, these people are also trained reserve militiamen, so they should also be careful, and bring them to San Francisco City to wait for the city hall to deal with them.
The lowest-level Alipin tributers and slaves stayed temporarily.
Not only will these people be left behind, but they will also be granted the status of San Francisco citizens, registered as naturalized, given them the houses in the village, and given them the fields in the village.
Of course, these are not pie in the sky.
"From now on, you are the citizens of the Qin family in San Francisco, and each of you will get your own houses and fields..."
Dan Sili divided all the original fields in Maye Village into three parts, one part was kept as public land, and two parts were taken out and distributed to all the remaining Alipins.
Alipins will be called citizens in the future, and there will be no distinction between tribute payers and slaves. They will divide the land according to the head, and the young, strong, old, and weak men and women will have their own differences. You have to bear the obligation to cultivate the public land for free, and all the proceeds from the public land will be paid to the public.
In addition, in addition to paying the 11th tax, these Alipins who divide the land also have the obligation to undertake 20 days of hard labor every year.
The big house of Gumacilang was vacant, and Shan Sili set it as the Maye Village Office.
Then let those Alipins elect a village head, two deputy village heads, and village cadres such as the captain of the village and township soldiers and the deputy of the team.
The task of these people is to manage the villagers of Maye, maintain law and order, register household registration, collect taxes, distribute labor and so on.
There are more than 1,200 households in Maye Village. After this, the population has decreased a lot, but there are still several thousand people. According to the Baojia Law, four households are neighbors, five neighbors are Jia, five Jia are Bao, and five Bao are Jia. Li, five miles and one township.
Four households and one neighbor, twenty households and one Jia, one hundred households and one insurance, five hundred households and one mile, and two thousand and five hundred households and one township. This is also the draft zoning of San Francisco.
For example, Maye Village originally had more than 1,200 households, but now there are less than 1,000 households, but more than 500 households. Therefore, it is also organized into two lis for management, and each of the lower ones is organized into Baojialin.
Baojia company sits in joint defense, one person cooperates with bandits and robbers, all Baojia companies sit together, one family plots rebellion, Baojia company sits together.
If there are murders, robbers, robberies and other incidents in the neighborhood, the neighbors must help and report to the police, otherwise they will be punished.
The interpreter announced loudly to those Alipins who were still kneeling in the field, and those people were shocked.
For ordinary Alipins, they used to be Datu's tribute payers. They also had to pay tribute to Datu when they farmed the land. Had to try to help.
Even Datu’s family had to give gifts to help in weddings and funerals.
So the Qin family now asks them to pay tithes, serve in the military, etc., which has no effect at all. The most important thing is that there are more than a thousand households in Maye Village, and most of the land is concentrated in Datu's family and Mahalika. , Tivama, etc., but now those people are killed and relocated.
The land in their hands was confiscated, and then except for the remaining part as public land, the rest was distributed. The Alipins were divided according to the head, and basically they could get a lot of land.
After thinking about it, the Alipins burst into cheers, especially the slaves.
