"Great leader! I request to lead my tribesmen to be the vanguard, to be the first to attack those bastards! My tribesmen hate them the most, and every one of us will become their God of Death! Especially that old man Juan! I must kill him with my own hands, to avenge my father! "
The opportunity for revenge was right in front of him. Ah Nuo could almost see Juan's fat body and ugly face. He had already begun to imagine how he would look when he killed his enemy and brought his head to pay homage to his father.
He believed that the hatred that had plagued him for countless years could only be dispelled at that time. Only then would he be able to stop being a vengeful ghost, thinking about revenge at all times and living for it wholeheartedly.
Perhaps this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He also had many things he wanted to do. After killing his enemy, he wanted to set sail and see the full picture of his hometown. He wanted to see the world, and he even wanted to go to the country of those red-headed ghosts to see what kind of environment they lived in.
He did not want to stay in the deep mountains for the rest of his life.
The tribal elder looked at the healthy, strong, and high-spirited Ah Nuo. In a trance, he seemed to see himself from decades ago. Then he looked at his withered palm, and a strong sense of unwillingness and jealousy welled up in his heart.
Moreover, Ah Nuo's words made him very uncomfortable.
Juan was only in his forties, and he was already an old man? You're wrong, aren't you? You're not talking about Juan, are you? You're not talking about me, are you? It's me, right? You want to kill me after you kill Juan, right? You bastard, you traitor, you traitor who disregards my kindness!
What he hated the most in his life were traitors and Spaniards. His hatred for traitors was even greater than the Spaniards.
Ah Nuo cannot be left alive. Sooner or later, he will be a scourge. Sooner or later, he will kill me and replace me.
The old man fell into deep thought.
Spaniards, Juan, Ah Nuo …
Hmm?
He suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.
Aren't you going to be the vanguard to kill Juan?
Good! Isn't this the best? This is simply too good!
The old man made a decision in his heart.
"Good! Ah Nuo! You are truly the most valiant warrior among us! Yes, your request is granted. I will allow you to lead the bravest warriors of your tribe to be our vanguard. When the war begins, you will lead the charge towards them and blow the horn of our victory! "
"Yes! Thank you, Great Leader! "
Ah Nuo was so excited that she burst into tears.
Finally, he could finally realize his dream!
Father! Did you see that? Did you see that? I will avenge you! I will avenge you!
The Ghost of Vengeance's strongest state was activated.
A great battle was about to break out.
At the same time, dozens of miles to the west of City M, Xiao Ruxun was leisurely drifting with her fleet on the surface of the sea.
Standing on the deck, Xiao Ruxun looked at the endless sea. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Marquis Xiao, the scouts have reported that they are really fighting. According to the scouts, the combined forces of both sides are probably more than 50,000 people. It is right for us to leave. If we stay, these 3,000 people will not be able to compete with 50,000 people."
Chen Longzheng's voice sounded behind Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun turned around and looked at Chen Longzheng, who had a look of fear on his face, and laughed.
"It really exceeded my expectations. I originally thought that they would not have many young men to use after being destroyed. I didn't expect them to still have such a strong force.
But I think they should have more than this strength. They sent troops to City M in a hurry. In a hurry, they gathered 30,000 to 50,000 people. It can only be said that there are more people who have not been mobilized. "
Chen Longzheng's face froze.
"With so many people, how can we beat them and make them obey us?"
Xiao Ruxun was not worried at all.
"Tilong, let me tell you something. A few decades ago, when the first Spanish army landed on Luzon Island, there were only four hundred people. Even now, their army on Luzon Island is no more than two thousand. Even so, they are still able to gain a foothold on Luzon Island."
Chen Longzheng frowned and asked doubtfully, "Marquis Xiao means?"
"Politics, the favorite means of civil officials. Politics, using troops to fight is to achieve military goals, and the ultimate direction of military goals is political goals. Our military goal is to defeat them, but our fundamental goal is to occupy Luzon, rule, and replace the Spanish.
What the Spaniards can do, we can do the same. As long as we use a more powerful means, we can do it more thoroughly than the Spaniards. The Spaniards are small in number and their means are not very open and aboveboard. They can't consume more of the Luzon natives.
But we are different. Let them fight first. The fiercer and more intense the fight, the more power will be consumed. When they are both wounded, we will send troops and use guns and artillery to teach them a deep lesson. After that, it will be time to go back to the old path of the Spaniards.
These two opposing factions couldn't be left out. They had to exist, and the conflict between them had to be sharpened.
Just like how we deal with Japan, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Toyotomi Hidetsugu and Tokugawa Ieyasu. There is no two sun in the sky and no two masters in the country. They have no other way but to fight each other.
As long as they are fighting, fighting fiercely, and in conflict, we will be able to hold the highest authority as the arbiters. This is how the Spaniards secured their dominant position and ruled Luzon for decades with less than two thousand troops.
We have more people and better firearms. There is no reason why we can't do what they did.
Tilong, I am a general. But after fighting for so long, I also understand that using troops is a means, and ruling is the ultimate goal. No matter how strong the military is, it is impossible to kill all the enemies.
Taizu Chengzu was very powerful. He went on more than ten northern expeditions, but he still failed to achieve his goal. The Mongolian threat is still there. It can be seen that using a strong military can't achieve the ultimate goal.
But the Spaniards can control hundreds of thousands of Luzon natives with just 2,000 troops. Is it because the Luzon natives don't have enough troops? Or is it because their combat power is not strong enough? Or is it because their weapons are outdated? Food shortage? "
Chen Longzheng pondered.
"It's because the people are not united. The internal divisions are not united. The Spaniards used their strength to destroy the resistance of the Luzon natives and ruled until today."
Xiao Ruxun nodded.
