Volume 3: Confrontation! The Run of Civilization Chapter 564 Zhang Xianzhong touches the traitor
"You outsiders, what are you doing! Let me go! Come and see, the outsiders from Ming Dynasty are bullying us Indians!"
Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others sat down for less than half an hour, and Tia had not yet settled the matter of the transport team. The fellow from the northwest they had sent out in advance tied up an Indian native and brought him back to the camp.
This newly arrived Han Chinese kidnapped one of their own people, which not only attracted a large group of Indians to gather, but also forced Tia to put aside what she was doing and rush over with Zhu Shengmiao.
"Captain Gao, what's going on?"
"What's going on? Humph, this guy left the camp without permission. I suspect he's a spy!"
"Inside the room?" Zhu Shengmiao looked at the Indians who were gathering around him and looking unhappy because of the language difference. He quickly said to Tia, "I'll ask, and you translate loudly."
"good."
The two had taught and learned from each other many times, and they already had a tacit understanding. So after such a simple instruction, Zhu Shengmiao quickly said : "Captain Gao, what makes you say he is a traitor?"
"This guy left the camp without permission!"
When Tia translated this, the tied Indian man started screaming loudly.
"He said he was leaving the camp to go home. Chief Tiya has already said that we are free to come and go."
"What? Lieutenant Fengguo, did you translate it correctly?"
Seeing Diya nodding with a serious expression, Gao Yingxiang almost fainted: "You are rebelling! You are rebelling with your heads tied to your belt! Shouldn't we formulate strict and cruel camp rules to strengthen management? You are free to come and go?"
"We Indians are naturally lax and lack discipline. If we use strict discipline to restrain them, they will be discouraged. In this way, how can the team expand rapidly?"
"Oh..." With a long sigh and shaking his head helplessly, Gao Yingxiang turned his gaze to Li Zicheng. Both of them saw despair in each other's eyes.
"Hey, since you can come and go freely, why don't you say hello to anyone and sneak away quietly? Your leader is so kind to you, and you don't even say a word before you leave. It's really inhumane."
Just when Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were feeling depressed, Zhang Xianzhong sinisterly raised a new question.
After hearing the translation, the tied Indian suddenly became shy and stammered for a long time without being able to speak. This made Tia feel that something was wrong.
"Yes, Bastion. In the past, when other people were leaving the team, they would come to say goodbye to me. And they would walk out of the camp openly . But you are really not right today."
"Hmph~" the yellowish-faced man said sinisterly, "I think a body search would be best."
Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng naturally reached out their hands. The tied Indian suddenly struggled violently and screamed loudly.
"Hehe, this is the case of trying to cover up one's own guilt. Boss Gao, feel it carefully and slowly."
"Huang Huzi, what the hell are you talking about? How can you make a body search sound like I'm touching a girl in a brothel?"
Although the group of Northwest men laughed and cursed, and the atmosphere seemed casual, when Gao Yingxiang found a small rolled-up blueprint from the Indian called "Fortress" and opened it to see several hills drawn on it that looked very similar to the rebel camp, everyone's faces turned black.
"Fortress! Why are you like this? If you can't hold on any longer, you can just leave. Why are you betraying us?"
Seeing Diya holding back tears and yelling at the traitor, Zhang Xianzhong shrugged: Hey, what a woman, asking a bullshit at this time! Let him choose between being torn apart by five horses or being executed by slow slicing, why are you nagging? This woman has studied at the Royal Military Academy for three years, what did she learn? Sure enough, talent is the most important thing. I, Zhang, have only studied for one year, and I am far better than this woman.
However, when Zhang Hong, who had been watching the development of events from the sidelines, joined the game, Zhang Xianzhong realized that he still had a lot to learn.
"Captain Tiya, please send out your most trusted men to seal off the camp. Then interrogate this guy. If what I guessed is correct, there are more than one traitor in this camp! You must control all those who are close to this guy first!"
"Ah? Oh, thanks to General Zhang for reminding me, I understand. Oh, I am ashamed of the school."
"Captain Tiya, don't blame yourself. I heard that you received a complete education as a regular military officer at the Military Academy. You were ranked top in personal combat, shooting, and staff planning. This is very remarkable. However, the current situation is not a regular military battle, but a guerrilla battle, so it is normal that you have some shortcomings. This is something that the military academy did not take into account, and the root cause is not you."
…
That night, the results of the investigation came out: there were at least six traitors in the camp of 3,250 people. Their leader was a Spanish-Indian mixed-race guy who held a small position in the rebel army. Originally, this guy controlled about ten people. Whenever the rebel army chose a new place to station, this guy would send people out of the team to inform them. As a result, after the rebel army retreated into the Andes Mountains, it was still captured by the Spanish regular army four times.
"General Zhang, Captain Gao, I am so ashamed. It is my fault that I did not lead the team well."
"Hey, Chief Tiya, don't blame yourself. On the way here, I listened carefully to Lieutenant Fengguo's introduction to the situation here. Generally speaking, because you Yindians have been away from Chinese civilization for three thousand years, your overall customs are lax, and your discipline is much worse than that of the Ming army and its people. So in the early stages of the uprising, we really can't ask too much of them. But!"
At this point, Zhang Hong suddenly raised his voice: "Now that the rebel army has suffered a heavy blow, it is time to enforce strict discipline. After all, except for a few people with ulterior motives, most of those who can stay here at this moment are determined and willing to fight for the independence and freedom of the Yindian people. These people can definitely accept strict discipline management. Only in this way, we can take this opportunity to build a strong core group, so that the rebel army will have the possibility to grow again in the future!"
"...Yes, I understand." Looking up, Tia said firmly: "Our transport team will set off tonight. Please rest assured, General. These people are miners from the Santiago Copper Mine. They are very determined, disciplined and obedient. After they set off, I will immediately start drafting camp rules and related systems, and I will ask General Zhang to review them afterwards."
"Okay!" Zhang Hong said, "Captain Tiya, before this fleet came, we didn't expect the situation of the rebels to take a sharp turn for the worse, so we carried a large number of heavy artillery and shells on board. But after I arrived at your camp... Anyway, this transport team went to the seaside, and hurriedly transported food, medicines and light weapons, and don't even think about heavy artillery."
"Yes, I will explain it right away."
"Well, our fleet cannot stay in this place without a port for too long, so we only have one chance to move it this time."
"Yes, I will send as many people as possible without affecting the defense of the camp."
After Diya finished speaking, she turned around and went out to do her work. Zhu Shengmiao was about to get up and follow him, but was kept back by Zhang Hong. In addition to him, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong also stayed back.
After arranging the marines he brought with him to stand guard outside, Zhang Hong glanced at the other four people and said, "This time, the situation is far beyond our expectations. In order to prevent the mission entrusted by the emperor from completely failing, we have to take control of the leadership of this rebel army!"
"That's what the General said!"
As soon as Zhang Hong said this, Gao, Li, and Zhang all responded loudly. Zhu Shengmiao opened his mouth, but finally nodded helplessly.
"I will talk to Chief Tiya later. After this batch of supplies arrives, the entire rebel army must be divided into smaller units and deployed in more places. Captain Gao, the six of you must be divided into at least three groups. As for you, Lieutenant Fengguo, I will give you two choices now. First, follow me back to the ship and never come to America again in your life. Second, stay and follow Chief Tiya. As for when to return to Ming Dynasty, or whether you will have the chance to return to Ming Dynasty, it depends on your own luck..."
