Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

"The earliest written records about Liudao appeared in Cao's nautical annals during the Yanxi period of the Han Dynasty. When Cao first went south to investigate the islands, he defined Liudao as the 'first in the offshore area' through simple area calculation techniques. A large island'. Cao Sheng named it himself. Among many names such as 'Taiwan Island', 'Bay Island', 'Liu Island', 'Qiu Island', 'Mullet Island', 'Zuodian Island', I chose the word 'Liu Island' with the best meaning, and praised the hot and humid Liu Island as a treasure island."

—— "The Written History of Liudao"

"I didn't expect to run Liudao so soon." Ah Sheng asked people to remove the clean dishes before he said slowly, "But about four years ago, there was a ship going north to Weihai for Avoiding the wind and waves, docked at Kaohsiung Port. That is, where we are now."

She closed her eyes: "At that time, the seven people who went ashore to search for fresh water, including a first-year student, were all beheaded by the natives. They were all ambushed suddenly, and there were very few resistance injuries on their bodies."

"Second son..."

"To this day, there are still seven headless bones buried in the graves of seven people outside the fort. Liudao is humid and hot, and the skin and flesh will rot in three months. Even if we wiped out the tribes near Kaohsiung Harbor later, we still cannot recover from hundreds of people. Identifying which of the thousands of skulls is the one we want to bring back."

When she got to this point, she couldn't continue, so Nianqi added in a voice full of hatred: "This place is different from the South Island. The distance from the land to the land is more than ten times that of the South Island Strait, and the sea current is turbulent." It is almost a dead end for refugees to cross the sea by boat. Therefore, the natives on the island are isolated from the Central Plains, even more so than the Southern Man. They plant only throw seeds, use wooden spears and stone tools for hunting, and wrap a piece of deerskin around their lower body as clothing. Necklaces made of animal teeth, copper, iron, cloth and silk are rare..."

"Late primitive society." A Sheng said suddenly, "Ignorance, backwardness and barbarism are not big problems. I can trade with them and make their children literate and polite. But the problem is: human sacrifice."

Ah Sheng suddenly raised the corners of his lips slightly, it was a kind of angry smile, like a poisonous fire: "My poor student, it's not because he made any big mistake, it's not even because he made some small mistake, it's just It's just bad luck, I met a beast looking for sacrifices!"

After losing control of his emotions for a moment, Ah Sheng calmed down and said indifferently: "The word 'beast' is my misnomer. After all, it is also their traditional culture. Before sowing, there must be sacrifices, and before harvest, there must be sacrifices." , Drought, disease, and sacrifices. The men in the tribe have grown up, and they are going to hunt the heads of other tribes to show their bravery. The person who hunts the most heads is the leader, the person who hunts the most is the warrior, and the person with the fewest heads is the warrior. A coward, spurned by women. For thousands of years, piety is true piety, and simplicity is true simplicity."

Zheng Xuan was speechless.This Liudao is really a land of supernatural powers. "I often say that the barbarians are so-and-so, but I didn't expect to experience it personally. Why does the young master live on Liudao?"

Ah Qi hummed and pointed at Nian Qi: "It's not that these children are unconvinced and insist on going to the island for revenge. In the first year, more than two hundred people were lost and supplies were innumerable, so this military fort was built and a hundred acres of rice fields were opened up. But the natives often came to headhunt, and no Han farmers dared to come to cultivate the wasteland. They wanted to educate the natives to farm, but because of the human sacrifice, they had an antagonism with five nearby tribes at the same time, and they almost demolished the fortress.”

Then twenty seven brought five hundred veterans to the island, and things changed.

To illustrate with the Chunqiu style of writing, the conflict between the Han people and the natives before the twenty-seventh century was like this:

Han Chinese: I think headhunting is inhumane. How about we agree to abolish the bad habits of headhunting?

Native: No, this is our traditional culture. If you want to abolish it, I will take your head.

The first year of twenty-seven:

Twenty Seven: I think that headhunting is your local traditional culture, and it is better for us Han people to do as the Romans do.

Native: Understandable people, as long as you abide by our rules, we are good brothers.

Twenty-seven years after the third year:

Twenty Seven: I think headhunting is still a bit inhumane. Why don't we agree to abolish headhunting?

Tu Ren: QAQ, you finally found out your conscience.

Twenty Seven: No, I'll wait and be brothers with you for a few more years.

Native: ...you get lost.

The disaster of the natives on Liudao is like a small splash compared to this era of starvation and desolation. It is only a sentence left in the history books: "The island barbarians are rebellious and good at fighting, killing the weak. Qi Sui made an appointment with him to hunt the head." , killing thousands of people in three years, imitating the customs of the barbarians as a sacrifice. In another three years, the barbarians of the island will be leveled."

Asheng has been staying on Liudao from the beginning of spring to the autumn harvest.The children who went south naturally left after finishing their repairs. Little Zheng Yi and little Tai Shici also left together, and only Lu Bu, Zheng Xuan and Kong Mo stayed on the island with her.

Zheng Xuan wanted to stay to educate the barbarians, but Lu Bu and Kong Mo stayed according to the plan.

Kong Mo wants to build Cao's second shipyard with shipbuilding capabilities in Kaohsiung Port.

The cavalryman Lu Bu had suffered enough in the jungle and had a high fever, and the last impetuousness was worn out.Now he and Twenty Seven are similar, they always compete and drink together.Lu Bu was eighteen this year, and Ah Sheng banned him from drinking.A few days after he was happy, he began to dislike the wine in the south as unpalatable, so he ruined Ah Sheng's stock.

After three years of barbaric conquest, the plains to the west of Liudao belonged entirely to the Cao family.The [-] natives put on linen clothes, tied their hair on the right lapel, and began to adapt to the days of bathing and disinfecting every day and paying rent to their masters.Most of them have never worked like this in their life, nor have they been so refined.

But they are not counted as the population in the Cao family's register. Only those who have learned Chinese, can write a hundred Chinese characters, and have no bad records in three years can become Han people recognized by the Cao family. Airline, free breakfast, and days of God.

The so-called "divine species" is what the natives call the high-yield crops brought by the Cao family.To put it bluntly, it is sweet potatoes and corn.

In addition to growing rice in the paddy fields near the river, large areas of sweet potatoes and corn are planted in the wider dry fields.The machine pulled by two cows worked together to dig the soil and bury the seedlings and seeds in the soil, and then the irrigation water was turned into the canal by the water truck, and the thin water diffused into the fields.

In spring, standing on the heights of Wubao, you can see planters moving in the endless farmland like ants leading the tide.In the fall, it was replaced with a harvester.

"I didn't expect them to be able to make this. Although it is animal power, they have already started to use rubber." Asheng stood on the top of a tall tower, with the sea breeze blowing on her face, "One thousand hectares of land, placed in the Central Plains It can barely feed 2 people, but here I can provide food and clothing for 8 people."

The sweet potato and corn are ground into feed and shipped to chicken farms and pig farms all over the country. Only in this way can the children's eggs and the strong laborers' meat buns be supplied.

Looking at the mountains of sweet potatoes, Zheng Xuan's brain's calculation function has gone crazy. "If the lord's manor continues to be opened up to the north, if mulberry trees can be planted in the mountains and forests, then tens of millions of people in the Central Plains can be fed with just one island!"

"I have selfish intentions." A Sheng poured cold water on him, "I allowed Twenty Seven to hunt the head because of this sweet seed of hope."

She squatted down and picked up a muddy sweet potato from the grain mountain. "I want to completely control Liudao. This island is isolated from the mainland, so there is no need to worry about the outflow of good breeds. So," she stood up, looking at the still hot autumn sky, "whether it is colonization or massacre, this Twenty-seven and I share a sin."

"This is an age of ignorance. All races are desperately trying to survive."

Harvest.

Cao Sheng put on a black costume and held the only head ceremony hosted by a Han Chinese in the history of Liudao at the location of the Skull Mountain.

The human head, which had been left with only bones for a long time, was cleaned, painted with tattoos, and poured new wine from between the upper and lower teeth.The wine leaked from the fleshless chin, was collected into copper bowls, and was then shared by the living.The chunks of meat were then stuffed into the skeleton's mouth, and also leaked out of the jaws to be eaten by the living.

With the bright moon in the sky, Ah Sheng sat beside the bonfire, softly humming the songs of the native people:

"Poor alien,

You were my enemy while you were alive,

Now that you are dead, you are my brother.

I by my own strength,

I invite you to my tribe,

Under the will of the ancestors,

Witness our friendship.

come on,

Have a drink, my brother.

come on,

Eat meat, my brother.

from now on,

We share the same ancestor.

from now on,

We share the same destiny. "Note【1】

Aborigines from far and near, with disheveled or tied hair, all came from their residences to participate in the autumn harvest festival.They stand in the night, weeping and humming, eating and drinking and humming:

"bring it on,

Eat meat, my brother.

come on,

Have a drink, my brother. "

This is a grand farewell ceremony.From today, all tribes participating will swear to renounce human sacrifice.

Ah Sheng picked up two glasses of bone wine and shook them to Nian Qi's side.Twenty Seven took the cup and looked at her without speaking.

"Two things," said Ah Sheng, suppressing his drunkenness. "First, let this simple and romantic killing culture disappear."

Twenty-seven frowned and took a sip of the wine in the glass. Even though the skull used for sacrifices had been repeatedly cleaned and disinfected, he couldn't restrain the nausea in his heart. "second?"

"Second, the natives who have already tied their hair are treated the same as the Han people, and they cannot be discriminated against. Children who have passed the elementary school graduation test will be sent to Shendao for loyalty assessment, and the best ones will be sent to South Island to study. You have to treat them as potential Junior, can you?"

Twenty Seven drank the wine slowly: "I will try my best."

At this time, there were still hunting tribes with a population of about [-] remaining in the mountains in the north of Liudao.Relying on the terrain, they fought against the armed forces of the Cao family until three years later before they all accepted the Kaohsiung oath.

After the autumn harvest, Ah Sheng left Liudao, where he had been together for ten months, and went south again by boat.The ship that entered the port when she left was the sea ship of the Cao family transporting recruits.

Nianqi regarded Liudao as a training base.Those who join the infantry team will first attack the bandits in Jiaozhou, and then send them to Kaohsiung Port in Liudao to exercise their physical fitness and engage in jungle warfare with the agile and fierce natives.Casualties are inevitable, but those who survived half a year and returned to the South Island have become veterans with excellent psychological quality.

A steady stream of teenagers graduated from the school and entered the family army, so Nianqi has never been short of people after fighting for so many years.For another ten years, he will not be short of people.

Only the ever-increasing number of elite troops witnessed his feat of defending the isolated island alone.

The author has something to say: Note [1]: Adapted from the movie "Sedek Bale" related songs.

The Taiwanese aboriginal customs mentioned in this chapter may trigger various controversies such as culture, freedom, human rights, and colonization.However, considering the fierce mergers and fragile viability of the tribal form, there is no clear correspondence between the tribes of the island of Taiwan 2000 years ago and the Taiwanese minorities today.It is not my intention here to vilify or insinuate any existing minority.

After all, this is just a YY novel.
