Chapter 1218: 1219 Rebellion on the Main Island
Chapter 1218 Chapter 1219 Rebellion on the Main Island
Joy, anger, sorrow and joy in this world are not the same. When the Tang Empire was preparing to enjoy the Spring Festival, a large-scale turmoil broke out on the island.
Goblin civilians took to the streets and engaged in the most violent conflict ever with the orc forces. Because the war just ended, many goblins hid weapons, so although the riot was quickly quelled, the orc troops also suffered losses.
Over five hundred Orc civilians were killed, and nearly a thousand Orc soldiers died. If the scale of the orc immigrants hadn't been so large and most of them gathered in Tianci Port, the losses of civilians would never have been so small.
The cause of the incident was that an orc development team occupied a goblin town that had not yet been completely relocated. The accompanying orc soldiers forcibly ordered the remaining goblins in the town to relocate immediately and get out.
These goblins themselves were dissatisfied because they were about to leave their homeland, and when they were fanned by a few local minor nobles, they immediately exploded like a powder keg.
The goblin civilians dug out some privately owned guns and long knives and farm tools from their homes, and sneak attacked the orc troops who were not numerically superior.
Caught off guard, the orc troops were completely wiped out, dozens of soldiers were beaten to death, and hundreds of people from the development team they protected also suffered.
These orc men and women were brutally ravaged, and the whole process was horrific. The goblins, red-eyed with blood, got into the ravine and gathered many goblin refugees who were also dissatisfied with the orcs.
In the past month, the orcs have inflicted terrible harm on the goblins. They massacred them wantonly. In order to save shipping costs, they even killed entire villages of local goblin natives.
This greatly increased the hatred between the two races, thus triggering this massive turmoil.
In the blink of an eye, the goblin mob gathered in the hundreds of thousands, and each time they passed through a village, they would gain strength.
But after all, these goblin mobs are not regular armies, and their weapons and equipment do not allow them to actively attack the orc regular armies.
After the orc civilians reacted, they fled into big cities such as Tianci Port, leaving only regular orc troops in the wild.
The refugees were unable to defeat the regular army and were harassed by aircraft, gradually falling into passivity. The orc troops cannot be defeated by the goblin regular army, so naturally these untrained goblin civilians cannot be defeated either.
Soon the hundreds of thousands of refugees dispersed again. The good news is that they are very flexible. As long as they lose their weapons, they become civilians. The orcs cannot identify these indigenous people.
The bad news is that the orcs do not need to be screened...A greater massacre began, and tens of thousands of goblins were brutally killed.
The orcs started killing without being screened, which also attracted a large-scale backlash from the goblin civilians. The number of goblins attacking the orc troops began to increase again, and they started a guerrilla war with the orcs on the island.
They attacked the transportation lines of the orc troops and plundered the supplies hoarded by the orcs. They came and went without a trace in the Wuthering Mountains and hid among the civilians, causing huge trouble to the orc regular army.
When the losses of the orc troops increased to two thousand, the orc troops retaliated even more cruelly. They even dispatched bombers, and for a while the island was in chaos, and the situation was even comparable to a war.
The results came one after another. In a short period of time, neither the goblins nor the orcs could do anything to the other. On the one hand, they paid a heavy price in casualties, and on the other hand, they lost precious opportunities for development. Both sides were not happy.
Things got worse and worse, even alarming Feng Kezhi, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army who was stationed in the South Island.
But this time, things are not that simple: in the past, the Tang Empire declared war on the Mirage Kingdom, so it was natural to support the orcs.
It's different now. Beidao is also a vassal of the Tang Empire. You, Shanlu, are loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Mirage Wu, Xiong Mirage Wenmao is also a good dog of the Tang Dynasty.
Mirage Wenmao personally went to the South Island to cry to Feng Kezhi. Those civilians who were about to be sent to the North Island were also subjects of the Tang Dynasty. Killing them so casually was a bit excessive, right? They are all obedient people of the Tang Empire. Such cruelty is not the behavior of the Heavenly Kingdom. The orcs also sent people to the South Island to request support, hoping that the Tang Empire could dispatch its air force to plow the goblin settlements on the island. After all, these goblins don't listen to education, are dissatisfied, and are rebellious by nature... They need to be killed properly.
Both sides held their own opinions and had a heated argument with Feng Kezhi, which made Feng Kezhi, who was in charge of the construction of the South Island military port, very angry.
The key is that this is not something that can be solved by sending out troops to fight, so Feng Kezhi can only honestly leave this hot potato to Nangong Hong.
As the commander of the 9th Army and the top officer of the troops stationed in the South Island, Feng Kezhi is most worried about whether similar problems will break out in his jurisdiction.
You should know that although it is much gentler than the orcs on the main island, the goblin migration work on the South Island and the New Island is actually not a welfare project.
With so many goblins leaving their homes, it is inevitable that they will be filled with resentment. Although the Tang Empire provided instant noodles for these goblins and solved the feeding problem of some goblins, in fact, small-scale conflicts never stopped.
It's just that the Tang Empire's methods were relatively mild, the occupation lasted a long time, and most of the weapons in the hands of the goblins were confiscated and destroyed, so there was no big trouble.
Three days later, diplomats from the Tang Empire flew to the South Island by plane, and then called all the orc representatives and Mirage Wenmao together, and severely reprimanded both sides.
The Tang Empire wanted to save face, and it was impossible to get the support of the Tang Empire for such brutal abuse of the people, so the orcs were given a stern warning.
After all, the Tang Empire still has ambitions to expand in the future. This kind of thing has caused trouble and has been repeatedly demonized by various countries. Many people are still afraid of the brutal rule of the Tang Empire.
Even if this makes it slightly more difficult to occupy, it will be more than worth the gain for the Tang Empire.
So at least on the surface, the glorious image of the Tang Empire cannot be desecrated. Therefore, the brutal killing of goblins by the orcs must stop immediately.
On the other side, the Tang Empire on Beidao also gave two slaps in the face: Do you goblins want to rebel? Just two months after the peace treaty was signed here, they dared to attack the occupying forces with hidden weapons. They still want to start a war, right?
If you don’t cooperate honestly and get rid of all the immigrants, what are you complaining about? The overlord country has transported millions of goblins to your North Island. Is this how you repay the superior country?
If you work hard, make more money honestly, and provide more supplies, will the conditions for immigration become less harsh? If the treatment is good, will immigrants become less resentful?
At the end of the day, isn’t it because you don’t work hard? Stop complaining and go back to mining, farming and fishing! What kind of trouble are you causing to our Tang Empire here?
The interview team from the Tang Empire arrived shortly after. They interviewed some local goblin aborigines and allowed these residents to show the kindness and generosity of the Tang Empire.
They received some subsidies when they left their hometown. The Tang Empire not only gave them some money, but also provided them with free transportation, as well as cotton-padded clothes and food.
These goblins talked in front of the camera and the tape recorder, expressing that they were very grateful to the Tang Empire for helping them and that they were very satisfied with the immigration work organized by the Datang Empire.
Soon these reports were put on television screens and broadcast around the world. The speed was so fast that many people were slightly shocked.
But everyone familiar with the matter knows very well that the massacre of goblins on this island is still going on, and riots and conflicts are still going on.
The so-called paradise island of the orcs has turned into a **** for the goblins, and due to constant conflicts, the construction speed of the island has almost stalled.
Except for the vicinity of Tianci Port, the development of other areas has been interrupted by conflicts. It seems that it will take a long time for the orcs to fully control their own island.
