Chapter 958: Arrogance
At dusk, the setting sun was like blood.
Zhao Xu walked through the battlefield littered with corpses and entered the city of New South Wales.
On both sides of the road, marine soldiers stood in two rows.
Behind the soldiers, the captives looked terrified, many of them trembling.
Once upon a time, led by Oliver, they had wantonly slaughtered the indigenous people around the Colonial Territory, even taking pleasure in the slaughter of the indigenous people.
But now, he finally understood the fear of those indigenous people.
Zhao Xu's gaze only swept over the captives twice before he headed straight for the Governor's Mansion.
With this place taken, the war on the Australian continent had come to an end.
As for the remaining Adelan Territory, it would only require the marines to send three or five thousand soldiers to clear it out.
"Your Highness, we have captured the Governor, Oliver, and his adjutant, Colonel Joseph, inside the Governor's Mansion."
Upon arriving at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Pan Zhang was just coming out and reported to Zhao Xu.
At the same time, a squad of soldiers escorted two British men out from inside the building.
In this campaign, there were people in the army who had mastered the British language.
These people had originally served the Liang Family, participating in the trade between the Liang Family and the British for years.
After the Great Song unified, these people were arrested and put on trial.
Those with guilt were punished according to the law, while those without crimes were registered and kept for future use.
After all, in this era, those who could master two languages could be called talents.
This time, it was they who were responsible for interrogating captives and reviewing documents.
"Let me go, you filthy swine! I am the Governor of the British Empire for the Australian continent. Do you know the consequences of declaring war on Britain!"
As soon as Pan Zhang finished speaking, Oliver suddenly shouted, his attitude extremely arrogant.
"Take your dirty hands off me! You've soiled my uniform. Indigenous people are just indigenous people, nothing more than beasts in human shape. And another thing, we are nobles; don't you know how to respect nobles?" Joseph also clamored.
While the two were cursing, the soldiers responsible for translation kept translating.
Zhou Yi, Pan Zhang, and other generals were instantly furious.
"Make them shut their stinking mouths!" Pan Zhang said to the soldiers escorting the two.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers kicked the two men in the back of their knees, and both instantly knelt on the ground.
Immediately, the soldiers picked up their Qin-series rifles, and the rifle butts smashed repeatedly onto the heads and bodies of the two, who immediately let out bursts of miserable screams.
Not until the two were on the verge of death did Zhao Xu gently raise his hand, signaling the soldiers to stop.
"Pah, you dog bastards! You are the ones who are beasts in human skin. One day, I will sail a Warship to your doorstep in Britain and beat you until you cry for your fathers and mothers." Zhou Yi was still not satisfied and cursed loudly.
During the war in the south, he had deeply realized one thing.
These Westerners all harbored a kind of arrogance that came from nowhere.
When facing them, it was as if they were gods, looking down on all living things.
But in fact, they were even more detestable than robbers, committing acts worse than beasts in Dongtu.
This made him feel disgusted, and he also held back a breath of anger, determined to trample them under his feet and ravage them fiercely.
"Your Highness, let this general cut off their heads." Pan Zhang placed his hand on his sword.
This sword was mainly an ornament for generals, but using it to cut off heads was naturally no problem.
"That would be too easy on them." A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Xu's eyes.
Whether from the present or from the experience of his own time, both made him realize one thing.
Westerners were nothing but a bunch of bastards wearing the cloak of civilization on the outside, while being cruel beasts on the inside.
There was no need to be polite when dealing with this bunch of bastards.
When they call you barbaric, it is best if you are truly barbaric.
Because they can only understand the sound of a fist.
Furthermore, lose humanity, lose much; lose beastliness, lose everything.
Thousands of years of the gentleman model of indoctrination always made the Central Plains dynasties treat the petty people around them with a gentleman's mindset.
And the final result was suffering losses everywhere, without receiving any goodwill from the other side, instead raising a bunch of ungrateful wretches.
Therefore, he would never be this gentleman.
His way of dealing with various nations had only one rule: those who submit to me shall prosper,
those who anger me, though they be far away, shall be executed!
"That seems to be the indigenous inhabitants of the Australian continent locked in the cage over there, right?" Zhao Xu pointed to the right side of the square in front of the Governor's Mansion.
There was a large cage there, with over a dozen dark-skinned indigenous people locked inside.
At this moment, these indigenous people were looking toward this side.
"Yes, it seems they treat these indigenous people like animals for viewing," Pan Zhang said.
"Give those indigenous people some Daggers, and then lock the two of them inside," Zhao Xu said indifferently.
According to what he understood, there were not many indigenous people on the Australian continent to begin with.
The main occupation of these indigenous tribes used to be herding.
After the British arrived, they slaughtered these indigenous people and seized their cattle, sheep, and property.
Now, these indigenous people had basically been killed to the point of extinction.
There were still some, presumably hiding in the arid interior.
Perhaps it was precisely because there were no more indigenous people near the Colonial Territory.
So, Oliver had captured some and locked them up for the British officials and officers who came to the Colonial Territory to watch.
"Yes, Your Highness." Pan Zhang chuckled and ordered the soldiers to carry out the command.
A squad of soldiers immediately dragged Oliver and Joseph away.
Halfway there, the two seemed to realize something and began to struggle violently.
They kept shouting, "You cannot lock us up with these filthy natives," "We are very valuable, worth a lot of money; keep us and you can demand money from Britain,"...
But no matter how they shouted, the soldiers ignored them.
Prying open the lock of the cage, the soldiers threw a Dagger inside and pushed the two men in.
These natives had all been captured by Oliver and Joseph personally.
When capturing them, they had also cruelly murdered their loved ones.
After being locked up here, they had also suffered torture for years.
Now, a squad of strange soldiers had given them a Weapon and thrown Oliver and Joseph in, and they immediately understood the meaning.
However, these natives did not pick up the Dagger.
Bone-deep hatred made them stare fixedly at the two, pouncing on them like wild beasts, tearing and biting.
Instantly, inhuman screams rang out in the cage.
One minute later, the cage fell silent; Oliver and Joseph were unrecognizable, their deaths miserable.
At this moment, the natives in the cage walked out cautiously.
Seeing that the soldiers did not make things difficult for them, they instinctively walked toward Zhao Xu.
They could tell that this person seemed to be the leader.
Under the guard of the soldiers, they arrived before Zhao Xu, knelt down collectively, and then prostrated on the ground, performing the etiquette of their tribe.
Immediately, they said many words Zhao Xu could not understand and rose to head toward the jungles of New South Wales; as they walked, they kept looking back, seemingly afraid of being attacked.
But until they entered the jungle, they were not attacked.
Finally, they glanced at the direction where Zhao Xu was and disappeared into the jungle.
