Facing the captives from both sides, Wang Kaizhi adopted a different strategy.
The dead Dutch officers had already been tied to stones and thrown into the sea, leaving only 70 Dutch soldiers alive.
Wang Kaizhi gave them the " May Day Lottery " treatment. Groups of five would use a wooden wheel to draw 14 lucky soldiers. They would hang them on the gallows in the central square one by one. This gallows was a tool left behind by the Dutch, and it was just right for them.
When one of the five men was dragged out and hung in the air, the remaining Dutchman finally understood that the bandits were going to implement the "May Day Slapping Order", which was even harsher than the 11-day Slapping Order in Rome!
Immediately, some people cried and begged for mercy, struggling to express that they had money to buy their lives. The man's tone was fierce and high-profile. He claimed that he had hidden a few large silver coins on him, and one was better than three.
The execution soldier glanced at Wang Kaizhi, who was watching the execution. The latter was cold and serious, like an emotionless avenger.
"Kill!" Wang Kaizhi spat out a simple word and decided this person's fate.
From the moment the Dutchman was captured by Australia and Song, everything they had became the spoils of war for Australia and Song. How could they use other people's wealth to buy their own lives?
The 14 Dutchman were soon reduced to hanging ghosts. Their specially processed bodies were hung on the shore of the sandbar as a warning to any evil people who had evil intentions against the higher-ups. The remaining Dutchman were sent to the most tiring labor camp. Unless someone paid for their freedom, cutting down dangerous jungles, clearing land, and mining ores would be their only task for the rest of their lives.
The next 4,000 pirate captives were theirs! The punishment location was at the relatively safe Chikan. Three companies of Fubo Army soldiers and all the combat team players stationed at Chikan maintained order.
Some players wanted to experience the feeling of using Napoleon's cannons to suppress a riot. They dragged six 6-pound field cannons and placed them in two corners, waiting for the pirates to do something to make their cannons come in handy.
However, the players had overestimated the pirates 'courage. The pirates did not even dare to make a sound, let alone instigate everyone to resist the Kun Thief.
Some of the more cowardly ones thought that the Kun bandits were going to bury all 4000 of them alive with such a large formation, including the forest of bayonet and the array of cannons. Some people were sobbing in fear, but they did not dare to make too much noise. Some people's old faces were stained with snot and tears, and some people were trembling in fear. There was already feces and urine flowing between their legs, and it was extremely smelly.
The 4000 pirates were divided into groups of 100 people. Every time it was a group, they would be singled out for questioning. The content of the question was very simple-who was the leader of the pirates in this group?
Regardless of whether it was a big boss or a small boss, the first person to identify the boss would receive preferential treatment. After one year of hard labor, they would regain their freedom, while the others would have to undergo hard labor for ten years.
This signal made the pirates 'hearts tremble. The Kun Thief wasn't trying to kill them! He wanted to kill the leader! The others would not die!
The thought of a dead friend but not a poor one arose spontaneously. The humiliation of being bullied and beaten by the leader was infinitely magnified in the face of survival.
Protect the leaders who have done all the bad things and taken all the benefits.
"He's the leader! Him!"
A young pirate pointed out a middle-aged old bandit on the spot. The latter immediately started scolding him in Cantonese, but as more and more people pointed out his identity, the middle-aged old bandit suddenly fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed as he begged for mercy.
However, begging for mercy was useless. A few soldiers with shaved hair pulled a long face and dragged the middle-aged bandit out alone like a dead dog. They beheaded him with a large knife on the spot. He did not deserve a Minnie bullet in the head.
When the bloody head was lifted up for the officer to look at, and the other pirates caught a glimpse of it, although the pirate was afraid, he felt more relieved.
The effect of the first example was endless. The other captives followed suit. The members of the thirty-nine groups quickly found hundreds of leaders without Wang Kaizhi and the others urging them. Their fate was also very simple. They were all executed.
The remaining pirates were divided into teams of 30 people. Wang Kaizhi randomly selected a good looking pirate to be their temporary captain. They would spend the next month in the captive camp. The quarantine and mental reform were the focus of this month's work.
Wang Kaizhi was not worried that these people would not submit to Ao Song. Since they had exposed the former pirate leader on the spot, according to the Jianghu language, they had betrayed their brothers, which was equivalent to cutting off their retreat. Even if Wang Kaizhi let them all go, they would not dare to return to Liu Xiang's subordinates to be bandits.
Moreover, the amazing strength that the Australian Song had shown in this battle had also shocked them. The deterrence of military power and the imperceptible influence of the transformation of their minds would not take long for them to become a member of the Australian Song army like ordinary immigrants.
After finishing all this, the sky was almost bright.
Wang Kaizhi, who had not slept for a night, was a little sleepy, but he knew that the soldiers and laborers were even more sleepy than him. He forced himself to stay alert and continued to patrol Chikan with Tao Yao's company. He calmed the people's panic and made important arrangements for some government affairs.
Along the way, Wang Kaizhi summarized the experience of this battle. The performance of the army was very outstanding. The four companies stationed in the high officials had been fully trained in actual combat, but Gao Xiong's four companies had not seen blood yet. They needed to let the veterans who had been trained in actual combat pass on their combat experience to the recruits.
Would eight companies be enough? It was enough.
However, Wang Kaizhi still decided to recruit another 500 soldiers. Firstly, he wanted to strengthen the local defense force so that they would not have to be proficient in sword and shield techniques when facing enemy soldiers. The spearmen should practice more stabbing defense and spear charging. The musketeers should practice more loading and shooting. They should aim for three shots in a minute. The chaos of one person holding four weapons had to be reduced as soon as possible.
If the players could change in the direction that Wang Kaizhi had hoped for, he believed that the elite troops formed by the Combat Group players and the androids 'followers would only need three to four thousand people to shine like the Qi Family's Army, or even be more powerful than the Qi Family's Army. Because players were not afraid of death!
At that time, if Wang Kaizhi wanted to interfere with the situation in Southeast Asia or enter the mainland of Ming, this elite force of thousands of people could be sent to all parts of East Asia at any time.
Not long after the battle ended, the work of screening the captives began. 4000 captives were 4000 young and strong laborers. If they were used properly, they would bring immeasurable benefits to Australia and Song, but using them would inevitably bring a considerable degree of risk.
Although the pirates put down their weapons and surrendered, Wang Kaizhi and the others still had to fear the Dutch. In order to completely dispel the Dutchman's will to fight, he decided not to play by the rules.
" Bring Hans here. I have something to say to him."
On the first day of December in the second year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen arrested Yuan Chonghuan. Zu Dashou saw this scene and was frightened. After leaving the capital, he immediately led the army to escape to Jinzhou. Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, and the Liaodong soldiers were defeated. The Houjin soldiers led by Huang Taiji were able to continue to attack and plunder near the capital.
That year, Li Zicheng killed corrupt officials and rebelled. He joined Gao Yingxiang's peasant army and started a 14-year anti-Ming struggle.
In the southern part of Dongyi, on the Daguan Shazhou, a 200-ton Dutch speedboat was sailing from the Taijiang inland sea to the open sea along the Daguan waterway. There were dozens of soldiers on the boat. One of them stood on the deck with fear. It was Hans Putmans, the former head of the Daguan Trading Company.
