Chapter 289: The Second Bantu War (Part I)


When the British army destroyed Marankaga, some of the Bantu people who refused to submit to the brutal colonial rule of the British army fled from Malankaga.

Under the leadership of Kabini, he went up the Zambezi River and rebuilt the Bantu Kingdom in the upper reaches of the Zambezi River.Aurora.

Unlike the previous rulers such as the mad kings Solanus and Matus, Kabini was a man of national integrity and fortitude, and from the day he fled, he was determined to fight to the death against the hateful British, and under his leadership, the Bantu united other tribes who were unwilling to submit to the British army, and launched a protracted and disparity of strength.After the end of the first Battle of Bantu, Li Lu on the side of Broken Leaf issued an order to form the Southeast Aficalica Colonial Zone, Wang Xuance served as the first governor of the colonial area, and Zhao Feng served as the commander of the colonial army.Many of these pioneers made their fortunes as plantation owners or large landowners, but more often as careerists who plundered slaves and looted treasures, and with the support of the British army, they began to expand on a large scale into the territory of the new Bantu kingdom.Wherever the British army went, villages were burned, lives were destroyed, and rivers were stained with blood.The brutal British colonists, after beating to death those Bantu people who dared to resist them, had to cut off their noses, or peel off their scalps, put them into wooden barrels, and then transport the whole barrel of noses or scalps as "trophies" to the Governor's Mansion of the Southeast African Colonial Region in Malan City to invite merit and receive rewards.To the surprise of Wang Xuance and Zhao Feng, Aurora.

The new Bantu kingdom led by Kabini was not only not intimidated by the bloody methods of the two of them, but also became more and more courageous, defeated again and again, they used bows and arrows, spears, blood and lives against the British muskets and artillery, although the British colonists were well-armed, but when they chased the African natives into the primeval rainforest, the British found that their always sharp firearms were ineffective, on the contrary, the natives killed many British soldiers and colonists with highly poisonous bows and arrows.The disadvantage of the war made Wang Xuance and Zhao Feng very anxious, and at this time, the king of the new Bantu Kingdom, the hard-fought Aurora.

Kabini was killed in a battle, and after the news reached Malan City, Wang Xuance and Zhao Feng were very happy, "Hehehe, damn Aurora was finally killed by us, straight lady thief, this Aurora is really difficult to deal with....... the soldiers in his hands are about to reach two regiments, Ma Dan, since the formation of our British army, we have not suffered such a big loss..... " Zhao Feng was very happy when he looked at the battle report that killed Aurora."

I think it's necessary for us to form a jungle combat unit, and although firearms are powerful, they are not waterproof, which is annoying....."

Wang Xuance also said, "Lao Zhao, since this Aurora is dead, why don't we .....?"

Wang Xuance's meaning is obvious, that is, to take this opportunity to make a sneak attack on the new Bantu Kingdom, and his suggestion was approved by Zhao Feng....... when Malan City was planning a conspiracy, Aurora.

The news of Kabini's death in battle also reached the kingdom's capital, Solo, which was located near Gitwe, in the later Copperbelt Province of Zambia.

Kabini's two sons out, his eldest son Mbandi?

Kabini was an illegitimate child, and according to the law of succession of the Bantu people, he had no right to inherit the throne.

Kabini's sister-in-law, Zuma.

Kabini succeeded to the throne.However, Mbandi was ambitious and secretly plotted, and even found an excuse to kill his half-brother and usurp the throne.In order to cut down the roots, he also killed his own nephew, the only son of his eldest sister, and many chiefs who opposed his usurpation.In order to secure his throne, he even targeted his eldest sister and two younger sisters with murderous sights.In this terrible moment of swords and swords, and fighting in the same room, Aurora's eldest daughter Gusa.

Grief-stricken and angry, Cindy tried to fight, but could not do anything, so she fled to Katanga in the northwest with her two sisters and her husband under the protection of her supporters.Katanga is the earliest birthplace of the Bantu people and is also the site of the Gusa.

Cindy's mother's birthplace.The Bantu people there warmly welcomed the arrival of the three Cindy sisters and resolved to fight with them.There Gusa.

Cindy worked hard to establish a solid anti-enemy base there, which was heartily supported by the Bantu people.Gusa.

There's a reason why Cindy is so quick to get started, she is the eldest daughter of Aurora, she escaped from Malankaga with her father a few years ago when she was a girl, and she has heard from those who have escaped from the clutches of the British how these terrible Englishmen arrived in Massa and Malankaga on "winged ships", and how they went around killing people and setting fire with "fire and sword".She had also heard that the murderous British soldiers, in order to intimidate and suppress the Bantu people, actually tied black slaves to the muzzles of the guns and blew them up alive, and the ferocity of the British invaders and the suffering of the Bantu people provoked Gusa.

Cindy's incomparable hatred for the British invaders.On more than one occasion she had witnessed her countrymen shackled and with iron hoops around their necks, escorted to coastal ports by armed British soldiers, and then thrown into the bilges of sailing ships about to sail elsewhere like cattle, and her lungs were blown up.At that time, she swore that she would be like her father, in order to defend her homeland and prevent the Bantu people like herself from being humiliated and slaughtered by the British colonialists, and she would persist in the anti-aggression struggle until she drove the British colonial robbers into the sea.After Aurora established the new Bantu Kingdom, Gusa, who had been fighting with his father for a long time.

Cindy, who had also undergone training, increased her military and diplomatic talents, and had a group of loyal ministers who followed her, quickly gained a foothold in Katanga and initially stabilized the situation.The news of Neijiang and the division of the new Bantu Kingdom quickly spread back to Malan City, and after learning of the enemy's infighting, Wang Xuance couldn't help but laugh, "God really help me, hahaha, these Kunlun slaves have made trouble themselves......

Lao Zhao, you immediately personally lead the troops and go straight to this Mbandi's nest, Suolu City ......"

"Hahaha, good lak ....."

Zhao Feng was also very happy, what kind of person is Mbandi, Jinyiwei's intelligence said clearly, "A guy like this who is cruel inside and outside, I like it the most......"

Zhao Feng personally led the team, led a cavalry brigade and three Tianzhu Tubing divisions with a total of 50,000 troops, formed a battle cluster, and launched a brutal sweep against the new Bantu Kingdom, they fought all the way to Suolu City, the capital of the New Bantu Kingdom, and the incompetent Mbandi, after the news of the British attack came, he did not dare to make any resistance, he just wanted to keep his throne."

Your Majesty, the city of Suolu is the last capital of our Bantu people, and we can't afford to lose it...", after learning that his majesty the king was planning to abandon the city and flee, his ministers advised one after another.However, in the previous battle with the British army, this Mbandi was frightened by the firearms of the British army, "What do you know, even the fortified city of Malankaga can't withstand the attack of the British, how can our small Suolu city be defended?"

Okay, okay, if anyone dares to stop me, there will be no mercy....."

Mbandi left the city of Solu in a hurry and fled all the way to a small island in the Chobe River, a tributary of the Zambezi River.In order to escape, he even abandoned his own mother, so that after the queen mother of the Bantu people was killed by a few Tianzhu soldiers, she sent her to see the dead Aurora.For such cowardice and unfilial piety, almost all Bantu people consider it an unacceptable and shameful disgrace.Because Mbandi retreated without a fight, Zhao Feng easily took Suolu City, and after he entered the city, he immediately ordered all the people in the city to be captured as slaves, and finally he burned the city to ashes.
