Rock didn’t expect that the Zulu surrendered so neatly.
At the final count, there were more than 90,000 rebels, including more than 24,000 young adults. They were still capable of resisting to the end, but the Zulus gave up so easily, just like when they resisted Nata
Your government is nothing but a child’s play.
When they finally surrendered, the performance of Zulu men was not as good as that of Zulu women. Most Zulu men were very submissive, no different from the submissive Zulu people in the past.
On the contrary, when Yaya's men entered the canyon, the Zulu women were not polite to Yaya's men. Many Zulu women cursed at Yaya's men, and some Zulu women even threw stones at Yaya's men.<
/p>
Those Zulu women were equally obedient when facing the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesian Division, but when faced with the traitors among the Zulu people, those Zulu women hated them from the bottom of their hearts and showed no fear.
After shooting several people, the Zulu women still showed no fear. In the end, Rock had no choice but to ask Yaya's men to withdraw from the canyon and no longer participate in counting the number of rebels.
When the Northern Rhodesian Division brought Bambaataa's body back to Pietermaritzburg, there was a sensation throughout the city. Countless people poured out of the city to see what the man who turned Natal upside down looked like. The officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesian Division received a warm welcome. Wherever they went, they were literally "harassed" by the residents of Pietermaritzburg. The entire city showed great kindness to people with black hair and yellow skin.
The status of Indians is rising.
You must know that in the past, the social status of Indians in Natal was similar to that of Zulus.
Rock didn't care about this, and he didn't even participate in the trial of the rebel leader. Rock was concerned about the more than 24,000 adult Zulu men. According to Isaiah Queller's suggestion, more than 24,000 people were to be put to death.
All should be shot or exiled to serve as a warning, but Rock has different opinions.
"Whether it is execution or exile, it is a huge waste of human resources. Why can't the execution or exile be changed to hard labor? This rebellion has caused great damage to Natal, and it will definitely need to be rebuilt next.
The reconstruction of the Transvaal and Orange has not been completed. We need more people to participate in the reconstruction. If these Zulu people participate in the reconstruction, it will not only save our costs, but also allow those Zulu people to participate in the reconstruction.
It is much better to fully reflect during work than to be shot or exiled." Roque must not be willing to part with it. This is more than 24,000 people. Everyone knows how many people are lacking in southern Africa. Now it is so easy to take over 24,000 people.
If someone is shot or exiled, it is a crime in itself.
"Haha, Isaiah, listen to Locke. Lord Nyasaland is famous for his reconstruction. Look at the current Transvaal. It is not so much that the reconstruction of Transvaal was under the control of Governor Milner.
It was carried out under the leadership of Henry, rather it was carried out under the leadership of Locke, otherwise why was the reconstruction of Orange under the leadership of Governor Milner also in a mess-" Hopkins is Henry's father-in-law, Locke
He was the best man at Henry and Lacey's wedding. Even without considering Rock's identity, Hopkins would maintain the same position as Rock.
This is the importance of the relationship network. In the Transvaal, Rock's relationships are everywhere. This is why Rock is fearless in the Transvaal.
"Haha, General, you and the Lord did not understand what I meant. I meant to exile those prisoners, but the specific location of the exile can be discussed -" Isaiah Queller sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, as Natal
Chief Executive, Isaiah Quailer certainly knows the importance of human resources.
It should be noted that although Natal is rich in human resources, most of the resources are in Basutoland. Considering the relationship between the Natal government and the Zulu people, the Natal government did not directly recruit people from Basutoland.
The right to mobilize human resources, every time a Zulu is hired, the Natal government has to pay.
Although the Zulu rebellion brought a certain degree of destruction to Natal, objectively speaking, it also brought an opportunity to the Natal government. In the future, the Natal government can legitimately strengthen its management of the Zulu people.
So it’s hard to say whether the Zulu rebellion is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Haha——" Rock finally understood what Isaiah Queller meant.
"Haha——" Hopkins picked up the wine glass tacitly.
What happened next is easy to say. The trial was the trial, the exile was the exile. On August 3rd, Anton and Martin led the Northern Rhodesian Division back to Nyasaland, while Roque went directly to Pretoria.
.
Rock also has to report to Ade.
To put it bluntly, this report is to ask for credit from the relevant personnel of the Northern Rhodesian Division.
Ade's expression was very complicated when he saw Roque. After listening to Roque's report, Ade was a little absent-minded and didn't speak for a long time.
Rock didn't say anything. Anyway, Rock is now qualified to sit on the chair in front of Ade. He can sit well and not be tired.
"Locke, can you promise to be loyal to the British Empire forever?" Finally, Ade asked this question.
"Yes, I guarantee with my honor -" Rock responded quickly. This guarantee may not be convincing in the 21st century, but at the beginning of the 20th century, honor was more important than life.
In fact, in the 21st century, honor is still more important than life. Unfortunately, many people do not realize this.
It doesn’t matter. Those who don’t realize this will understand this truth sooner or later. For example, a certain fish head fully realizes the importance of timely updates. However, there are always many accidents in life that are uncontrollable, such as power outages—— Ade nodded and didn't say much.
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Roque went to Henry's house with Henry as usual.
"The Northern Rhodesian Division's performance this time is so surprising. Locke, you are in the limelight this time. Winston said that Congress is still discussing whether to send more troops to Natal. Congress has not yet discussed it.
As a result, the rebellion has been put down on your side, but you don't know that after Congress knew the news, it was quiet for a whole minute." Henry was still a little envious of Roque, although for Henry, he was satisfied to get the title. p>
For Henry, the title of Baron was enough.
Henry is different from Rock. Rock needs a higher title to ensure the status of Chinese Americans in southern Africa.
As an Englishman, Henry did not have such a big burden. In 1903, "the whole world" belonged to the United Kingdom, and Henry only needed to ensure his own interests.
In fact, Henry's attitude is a good thing for Rock. If Henry, like Adelaide, considers the British Empire wholeheartedly, then Rock will really have to reconsider his relationship with Henry.
"It's not that the Northern Rhodesian Division is powerful, it's that the Zulu rebels are too weak. If the previous Boer coalition had one hundred points, then the Zulu rebels would have at most thirty." Rock used a more concrete way to despise the Zulu people. "If the Zulu rebels are thirty, how many are the armies of Natal and Cape?" Henry immediately turned black. Rock's blow was too big.
"You can't calculate like this. There are 100,000 Zulu rebels. How many are the armies in Natal and Cape? Quality is important, quantity is more important. If there are too many ants, an elephant can be killed." Roque refused to accept the answer.
The scores for the Tarr and Cape armies are not easy to decide. No matter how many points Rock gives, Henry's next question will definitely be how many points the Transvaal army scores.
Hopkins is Lacey's father. If Rock gives a low score, then Rock won't even be able to earn a living at Henry's house.
If it’s too high——
What a shame!
"Humph, you are smart -" Henry was very satisfied with Rock's answer.
Lacey is also very satisfied. Her belly is already very big, and her due date is in August. If it weren't for Roark's visit, Lacey wouldn't come out to entertain her at all.
"By the way, I heard that you got more than 20,000 Zulus this time?" Henry finally remembered to get down to business.
"What do you want to do?" Rock immediately became alert.
"Give me some, I don't want more, just give me the change." Henry is also here to take advantage, and this meal cannot be given to him in vain.
"No, there won't be anyone." Roque firmly refused. There were more than 4,000 people with that little change, and he wanted to take it away with just one word——
Don’t even think about it!
"I'll give you money——" Henry immediately turned into a slave trader.
"I don't want it." Rock was determined not to join Henry.
"Okay, that's what you said." Henry dipped his napkin elegantly into the corner of his mouth, showing annoying aristocratic etiquette.
Regarding aristocratic etiquette, Rock actually really needs to learn this aspect. For example, to simply wipe his mouth, he should wipe it bit by bit according to aristocratic etiquette, and Rock will simply wipe it and finish the job.
Of course, this is also because Roark is more relaxed at Henry's house. When it comes to formal occasions, Roark will also pay attention to these things. Don't do anything you don't understand. Just do what you want to do if you watch what others do. You will definitely not be rude.
.
Henry can't do that. This guy has been trained in etiquette since he was a child, and etiquette has become a habit.
It cannot be changed.
"What are you going to do?" Rock immediately had a headache. If Henry really acted like a monster, Rock would really have a headache.
There is no way, the steel and cement that Nyasaland needs now are all produced by Fawalt. If Henry cuts off the supply, Rock will be really dumbfounded.
Don't say Henry can't do this kind of thing, Henry can definitely do it.
"Haha, I suddenly don't want to pay anymore." Henry said proudly, rarely gaining the upper hand in front of Rock.
"Very good, don't forget that I am the godfather of your child -" Rock refused to give in. If Henry dared to blackmail Rock, after Henry's child was born, Rock would dare to teach Henry's child to be a naughty child.<
/p>
"I'm still your child's uncle!" Henry was simply angry.
"Can you two stop being so childish?" Lacey was helpless. Men, in many cases, never grow up.
