The Chihkan New District on the other side of the river is full of people, and a large number of coolies are busy on the construction site. After this period of hard work, a 30-acre piece of land was leveled out on the east bank of the Taijiang River.

All debris was cleared, shrub roots were excavated, and stagnant water, including some seasonal wetlands, was filled; The core castle and the living quarters opposite, including the road irrigation canal in between, had been planned, and a small number of laborers were hardening the land in the planned place—in groups of four, shouting trumpets and shaking the square stones to smash the ground to a tight point.

A large number of people are building an improvised wharf on the banks of the Taijiang River. At present, the crossing forces do not have any construction machinery, and they cannot play with those tall buildings, so they can only build a temporary wooden pile wharf on the shore, and use small boats to transfer people and goods between the two sides of the strait every day.

Due to the arrival of the second batch of two sand boats, the already crowded shantytown of the merchant hall was completely burst. In view of the grim situation at that time, when there were many enemies and few enemies, the number of Ming laborers was greatly increased on the two sand boats that came with Cao Chuan, and there were 100 people in each boat.

All the residents of the Japanese village were relocated to the shantytown, and although the nature of these moons belonged to merchants, they could only be allowed to live in the shantytown temporarily, and a few merchants like Toru Higashino could live in the shantytown.

The Ming overseers, the Dutch, and the Banda all moved to the Japanese village, and then urgently cut down some miscellaneous trees and bamboo, and built temporary shacks around the Japanese village. The wood has not been dried, and it will not take long for the shack to be deformed, but there is not so much to care about at the moment, it is good to have a shack to live in, not to mention that the weather is also warm.

As a result, the transportation capacity was greatly saved: the laborers went to work in Chihkan every day, and they no longer had to take a small boat ferry, but only had to walk two miles south from the Japanese village.

What remains in the mall are some of the original Class B employees, who are responsible for daily chores. In the barracks of the merchant hall, there have been 30 more naval cadets in the past two days: the navy has a ready-made "Chengfeng" and is in urgent need of a new owner, so it takes advantage of it - Xia Xianze readily approved the report that the navy gave priority to selecting people.

The superficial brothers are like this, they cannot stand the test: on the day the Navy picks people, the Army has already turned against them. With a total of less than 300 Akito employees, 20 non-commissioned officers and students have already swept away the younger ones - the last two don't even know how many years they have lived, or the navy people opened their mouths and looked at their teeth. Coupled with the 10 original young pirate men, the navy happily went for a ride on the ship.

Looking at the remaining "old men" with vicissitudes of life, yellow teeth, and maybe braids tomorrow, the army group was furious, and Han Xiaobo got a cold reply after asking to see the CEO: "Wait for the ship to arrive, or negotiate for the navy to give you people." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the army has been in a state of clenching its tail recently because of the "intimidation body" incident two days ago, it is estimated that the brothers on the surface would have had at least one group fight for this matter. You see, if the people in power really want to do you, they will do it for you, silently.

......

Speaking of surface brothers, Cai Feiming is the one who has the most contact with surface brothers in the crowd: he just got the Dutch brothers two days ago, and today a Japanese brother came to him.

But the Japanese brothers came to him with good intentions - the natives showed up. After hearing that Toru Higashino ran to say that the natives had come to the door, Cai Feiming, who was originally checking information in the big office, quickly got up, ran to the dock with Higashino and his deputy, and casually got on a sampan and rushed to the Japanese village.

The details on Higashino Road began: it was an indigenous village chief named Gonda who ran to the Japanese village today. In the past, people from this village often came to the Japanese village to trade local products, but Gonda himself was rare. According to Higashino's guess, the natives came to inquire about the situation.

Since the day of the Merchant War, some of the natives who had been trading in the shanty towns had fled back to the island, and the natives had disappeared for a while. It wasn't until they had burned through a large area and approached their homes that the natives were forced to fight back.

According to Cai Feiming's speculation, the natives should have been frightened by the fierce war scene in the merchant hall that day, and the burning behavior of the black clouds pressing the city after that was not friendly: the natives were not stupid, the bare land made it possible for outsiders to see them from a long distance, and the natives were instinctively driven to stay away from outsiders as much as possible.

Originally, the plan to solve the problem of indigenous people in the past two days has been put on the agenda: the upcoming construction of the kiln area will require large-scale dredging of the upper and lower reaches of Xingang Creek, and the builders will also go deep into the upstream mountains to log and mine, so the villages along the way have reached the point where they must be solved.

Today, since there are natives who have figured it out and taken the initiative to take the initiative, of course they can't miss it, and the need to explore the truth is not only for natives, but also for crossing the public? Cai Feiming happily followed Dongye to the Japanese village.

Naturally, the village chief of Gonda does not know how he behaves today, which will greatly influence the future policy of outsiders towards the Bumiputera. As a branch of the Silaya ethnic group in Tainan and a village chief in the Xingang Community ethnic group, Gonda has a political talent that is superior to that of ordinary people. This is also the reason why he can be re-elected as the village chief when his family is not prosperous.

After a detailed interrogation of the people sent to the island to trade deerskins, Gonda ran to other villages overnight, and he found all three of the Newport people who had escaped from Dayuan that day, and Gonda obtained the most detailed information about the crossing on the same day.

Unlike the ignorant people, Gonda has always maintained a keen interest in outsiders. He was worried about the Japanese who collected deerskins, expelled all the tribesmen from Oshima (Ojima on the northern line), built gallows in front of the castle gates, and hanged the red-haired white men of their tribe for no reason.

The life of the clansmen has not deteriorated over the years, and has even improved due to the exchange of deer skins with outsiders, but Gonda has always had a hunch that those red-haired white men are strong and will sooner or later act against the clansmen, and reality is gradually proving his idea.

After the Battle of the Merchant House, Gonda soon found out that the red-haired whites had been defeated by an even more powerful group of people of the same color as himself! This made Gonda ecstatic, after all, how bad could it be? He had a hunch that these powerful outsiders were not the same as those redheads.

The traversers never knew that the day after they arrived at the Daikan, while some people were throwing bazookas at the gate of the Japanese village, a native who was extremely interested in them hid in the grass in the distance...... As of today, Gonda is the only native who has a clear understanding of the firepower of the traversal.
