On the vast land of Australia, at the foot of a hillside, a group of Australian Aboriginals are enjoying their lunch.
In the whole of Australia, there are almost more than 500 tribes, large and small, with a population of about 800,000. In such a huge and vast area, there are only 800,000 people. It is conceivable how high the population density of the entire Australia is.
Lower.
Of course, 70% of Australia's land is desert, 10% is tropical rainforest on the back, and only about 20% is in the southeastern coastal areas.
But considering the huge area of Australia, even with about 20% of the land, these 800,000 people are still very sparsely distributed.
These Australian aborigines have almost no difference in appearance from black Africans, both in skin color and body shape. As for how their ancestors arrived in Australia.
After research, historians and anthropologists believe that there may have been sporadic islands or land connections in the vast Indian Ocean between Australia and Africa in history. Through these connections during the Ice Age, they finally reached the Australian continent and thrived here.
.
The land of Australia is far less fertile than Africa, and most of it is desert. But the southeastern coastal areas that are not deserts are simply paradise for these indigenous people.
The indigenous people who live a nomadic life live a very simple and fulfilling life.
They sleep until they wake up naturally every day, and then go hunting kangaroos and picking wild fruits. The kangaroos everywhere in Australia provide them with a rich source of meat, and the wild fruits are a vitamin supplement.
When all the kangaroos and wild fruits near the living area are eaten, they will move to the next area, and so on. Over the long years, they have always lived such a simple and unpretentious life, until
The arrival of Ming immigrants.
The indigenous family in front of them is quite large, with hundreds of adults, plus dozens of children. It is considered a relatively large family, and is a branch of a large nearby tribe.
In an open space, the flames were burning and beating, and the kangaroo meat was roasting sizzlingly. Every member of the family could get a large piece of roasted kangaroo meat.
Food is very abundant, and there are too many kangaroos. The key is that kangaroos are huge. An adult kangaroo can weigh one hundred to two hundred kilograms, and is full of meat. A few of them can be enough to feed the entire family.
Full.
The family members who had eaten and drank enough gathered together again, and some family elders also began to perform a coming-of-age ceremony for a man who was about to become an adult.
I saw the old man using sharp shells to regularly puncture the hands, legs, shoulders, chests and other places of the boys holding the coming-of-age ceremony. At the same time, he cut his own palms and dripped donated blood onto the boys' bodies to give them courage.
Strength and heritage.
Then finally, charcoal ash is applied to the boy's wound. In this way, scars will form after the wound heals, forming what is called a tattoo.
During the whole process, the boy kept wailing in pain, but the elders were indifferent and continued to carry out the coming-of-age ceremony. Only men in the tribe who have gone through the coming-of-age ceremony are qualified to get married and will be loved by women.
The other members of the family watched everything in front of them silently.
They don't need to work hard, so they gather together most of the time to watch coming-of-age ceremonies during the day and bonfire dances at night. This has been true from generation to generation.
What they didn't notice was that on a hillside not far from them, a group of people were riding horses and observing them with binoculars.
These people include Mongolian grassland people carrying bows and arrows and scimitars, as well as Han people carrying muskets and sabers. The leaders are Li Dahai and Temulun, followed by Batu and Agu.
Damu.
"There are 123 adults and 35 minors, for a total of 158. We finally found a big job."
Li Dahai licked his tongue slightly.
Since the Australian Chief Minister issued a reward order to eliminate black ghosts, at the invitation of Temulun, the two of them invited a group of nearby immigrants to form the team in front of them, specifically to eliminate black ghosts nearby, and earn a lot of money.
A little extra money.
A nigger's head is worth three taels of silver, which is not a small amount of money.
Especially for those immigrants who have just immigrated to Australia, they have been spending money outside their pockets in a short period of time, without much income at all.
Moreover, in the past two years, there will basically be no income. The scale of cattle and sheep is too small, and it will have to wait until it grows in size before it can generate income. The only way to make money is to sell some wool.
So we had to find a way to get more money, and building our own ranch also required money, so everyone discussed and decided to act together.
Kill niggas together and share the bounty equally.
Temulun invited some grassland immigrants, and Li Dahai invited some Han immigrants. Together, they numbered more than twenty.
"Spread out and surround them, attack with bows and arrows and muskets, don't fight them head-on."
Temulun also nodded and immediately formulated a strategy.
In fact, there is no need for any tactics to deal with these natives. The fighting power of the natives is simply not comparable to that of the five scum. Otherwise, everyone would not be rushing to kill the natives to obtain the bounty.
You must know that even the always kind Han immigrants have carried bows and arrows and picked up muskets, which shows the charm of money and how weak the fighting power of these indigenous people is.
"Yeah~action!"
Li Dahai nodded, then nodded to each other at the people around him, and everyone immediately began to disperse and attack the natives.
Australia has a vast land and sparsely populated areas. Even the Han people who migrated here have to learn how to ride horses, otherwise they will not be able to live in Australia. Because given the vast land and sparsely populated areas, horses are the most important means of transportation.
Not only horse riding, but also herding cattle and sheep, bow and arrow shooting, etc. You have to learn all of these, because here in Australia, if you don’t know these things, your life will definitely be difficult. Although there are many kangaroos, if you don’t know how to bend a bow,
You can't shoot arrows or eat kangaroo meat.
So when we arrived in Australia, the grassland people learned farming from the Han people, and the Han people learned horse riding, archery, and herding cattle and sheep from the grassland people.
More than twenty people on horseback slowly made a large circle and surrounded the natives in front of them.
"Hey~"
When everyone formed an encirclement, Li Dahai, who was in charge of commanding the operation, blew his whistle. As the whistle sounded, more than 20 people rushed towards these natives from all directions.
The horses kept running and soon alerted the well-fed and drunk natives.
The natives were horrified to find that there were people everywhere, and they immediately panicked.
"Wow wow~"
These natives were shouting in terror and wandering around.
This is exactly what Li Dahai and Te Mulun want.
"Bang~"
Along with the sound of muskets, bursts of white smoke rose up, and some people fell down in response, which further intensified the fear of these natives.
Soon, more bows and arrows were attacking them continuously. Under each bow and arrow, the natives fell to the ground one after another.
The natives held spears, stone knives, and boomerangs in their hands. They wanted to fight back, but sadly found that they could not attack these people.
They wanted to escape, but found that there were enemies on all sides. They had never encountered such a situation before. The entire family was terrified and at a loss.
Women and children kept screaming, but adult men were constantly harvested.
The killing continued, a one-sided killing.
This indigenous tribe of more than a hundred people was quickly slaughtered.
The heads were cut off one by one and piled together, and then the bodies were thrown into a big pit for burial. Finally, Li Dahai and Temulun happily left with their trophies, and everyone was able to get almost twenty taels of silver.
, this money is enough for them to live for a long time.
…
Here in Zhuque City, teams are coming from all directions. Each team is riding a horse, with black heads hanging on the horseback.
If it is the first time for someone to come to Suzaku City, they will definitely be scared to death by the scene in front of them. It is really terrifying.
But people who have become accustomed to all this not only do not have any fear, but also look at them with envy and jealousy. A head is worth three taels of silver.
The more heads he brings, the more rewards he can receive, and the more he can prove his bravery.
In Suzaku City, the business of the shops here has suddenly improved. Everything is very easy to sell, especially wine. There is not enough to sell these things now.
These immigrants who came to collect the bounty had money in their hands and were very generous with their spending. And because they basically worked in groups, they naturally got together to drink, eat grilled kangaroo meat, grilled sea fish, etc.
.
This made the wine in Suzaku City suddenly become in short supply, and some merchants even started to open wine-making workshops in Australia to meet the market demand in Australia.
In addition to drinks, other products have also become popular. The money is easy to come by, and it doesn’t hurt to spend it. Just buy something when you see it. Anyway, we have our own ranch here, and we have to build it slowly.
The firms that do business here also make a lot of money.
Everyone is happy. The immigrants are happy to have money. The merchants are also happy when their business is easier.
The only one who is a little worried is the Australian Chief Minister Deng Nan.
At this time, in the official office of Zhuque City, Deng Nan was worried about the bounty issue. The documents approved by the court had not yet come down, and the money allocated by the court had not yet arrived, but the heads of the natives were being sent in a steady stream.
, the money was flowing out, which made him start to worry about the money.
"We still need to find ways to open up sources of income. It would be great if we have gold mines~"
"Gold mines are too difficult to find, so we should find ways to increase exports. The only things that can be exported are kangaroo meat and kangaroo skins. How about promoting that kangaroo meat has the effect of nourishing yin and yang?"
