ps: Thank you for the 2000 starting coins of the little cabbage stewed mushrooms and the 100 starting coins of the Haihua Empire!

Ye Chenglin and his subordinates waited outside for a while, and then followed Jin Gudan and the others who came to greet them into the camp.

There are more than 200 people in the tribal armed forces, mainly young and middle-aged, who are armed with muskets, and some of those muskets are exchanged by the Indians with furs for Ye Chenglin, and partly because the two parties have a good relationship, and Ye Chenglin gave them for free.

The muskets, ammunition and other weapons delivered by the Wehrmacht strengthened the ability of the Patagonian Indians to defend themselves, and the goods produced by the Han Dynasty were integrated into the lives of the Indians, gradually changing their way of life.

Patagonia is not very far from the Han mainland, and the Patagonians, who were blockaded by white Argentines, are in short supply, and the daily necessities of salt, cloth, grain and other materials can be sold at a high price here, and the profit margin is very huge.

Where there is a demand for commodity trading, there is no shortage of profit-seeking merchants.

The merchants in the Han Kingdom were mainly immigrants from Nanyang, and in Nanyang, these poor and white merchants accumulated the original capital for doing business by selling small commodities in the streets and alleys.

After immigrating to the Han Kingdom in South America, the government formulated standardized business policies and decrees to encourage commercial development, and at the same time, in order to maintain the healthy and good development of commerce, the Han government will also provide political and diplomatic protection for businessmen who go abroad to do business, so that the business interests of businessmen who are far away from the land can be protected.

Patagonia's commercial interests were huge, and trade with the Patagonian Indians was in line with the strategic planning of the Han government, so under the government's secret support and driven by commercial interests, groups of Han small merchants smuggled to Patagonia by steamboat, and sold the goods transported on the ship to the Indians in exchange for furs, horses and other items in their hands.

The merchants sold by the Han to the Patagonian mainly focused on food and weapons, and at the same time, in order to relieve the logistical pressure of the Patagonian Defense Force, Ye Chenglin invited dozens of experienced farmers to teach them the techniques of the Chinese intensive cultivation of the fields.

The Kiqit tribe has a population of more than 3,000 people, and the area of land they have cultivated is much larger than that of Ilya's tribe, and when Ye Chenglin walked into the camp, he found that hundreds of acres of fields had been reclaimed in the open space to the west of the camp, and a tender green wheat seedling had grown on it.

The wheat seedlings in the fields grew together densely or sparsely, not as neatly as the crops tended by the Han farmers, but Ye Chenglin was quite satisfied with the results of the Patagonian people when they first learned farming techniques.

Riding slowly on the horse all the way to observe the changes in the Kiqit tribe, and before entering a room mixed with bricks and wood, Ye Chenglin ordered his subordinates to carry down the bags of goods carried on the horses and handed them to the chief Jin Gudan who accompanied him.

"The letters of the thirteen chiefs have been delivered to His Highness, and His Highness is very satisfied with the performance of Chief Jingudan, these materials are all gifts from His Highness to the Kiqith Ministry, and there is no need for your ministry to exchange furs."

Ye Chenglin Road.

"Thank you for the gift of Your Highness, the Kiqit tribe is willing to be loyal to His Majesty the King forever."

Jin Gudan looked up at the unloaded supplies neatly lined up and said respectfully.

"Your Highness has not been stingy in rewarding your faithful people."

Ye Chenglin smiled slightly and said, "Among the rewards that His Highness has given to the Kiqit tribe this time, there are fifty advanced muskets, and the performance of these muskets is not inferior to the muskets installed in Western countries.

Chief Jin Gudan, as long as your ministry performs well in the action of mobilizing young people to join the army, Your Majesty will not forget the merits of your department. ”

"With the blessing of the god of nature and His Majesty the King, more than a hundred tribal warriors who were wounded in the battle with the Argentines have recovered from the treatment of Han Chinese shamans, and they are all willing to join General Ye's troops to serve His Majesty the King."

"Excluding them, how many young men can the Kiquet tribe mobilize to join the army?"

"Three hundred and fifty at most, the remaining warriors need to stay behind to keep the camp safe."

"There are more than 420 people in total, which is enough."

Ye Chenglin nodded with satisfaction, and was about to encourage Jin Gudan a few words, when he suddenly found that the Indian girl Irma standing behind Jin Gudan took a few steps forward and came to him.

"Elma, do you have anything to do with me?"

Ye Chenglin changed his expression and said softly.

"Big brother, this is for you."

The Indian girl spoke a jerky Chinese, took out a necklace from her neck, and put it on the other person's neck.

"Elma, thank you for the gift."

Ye Chenglin was not very comfortable with expressing his expression in formal occasions, and after accepting Elma's gift, Ye Chenglin quietly handed over a piece of jade pendant on his waist to her, and whispered, "You take this jade pendant with you, and I will go to see you when I finish talking to your father." ”

"Hmm." Irma nodded happily, then clutched the jade pendant given to her by Ye Chenglin, trotted away from the onlookers, and returned to her room.

Irma left the scene, Xiao Zhang San smiled and said to Li Tianxi beside him, "Brother Li, I'm not wrong, Brother Chenglin is really amazing, not only will his official position be promoted faster than you and me, but he will also please the little Indian girl, which really makes me envious." ”

"Envy? I envy you to find a few little Indian girls, anyway, your family has 500 acres of permanent land and a 1,200 acres of pasture, and you can raise it if you marry a few daughters-in-law. ”

Li Tianxi laughed.

"Alas, no, one daughter-in-law from Fujian Province, two daughters-in-law from Annan, four and a half sons, and three daughters can't take care of them anymore, and if there are a few more Indian daughters-in-law, don't make a fuss at home."

Xiao Zhang San shook his head, and said with a proud and contradictory expression, "Lao Zhang is content in this life, when he fled to Annan, where can he think of living the current life, we rely on Zhang now There are not many other thoughts, I just hope to be able to catch a general before retiring, and then make a few military achievements, leaving a little more family business for the four little cubs, as for other women, Lao Zhang has no blessings." ”

"Even if you old boy is still a little self-aware, three mothers-in-law are enough to toss you, if Lao Zhang continues to provoke women, you will end up with the same fate as the company commander of the second division."

Li Laosan, what do you think of Xiao Zhangsan, is Lao Zhang a bastard who takes off his pants and doesn't recognize people? How can you compare me to that bastard? He can't even compare to Lao Zhang's finger.

No, Li Laosan, if you don't make it clear today, I'm not done with you. ”

Xiao Zhang San never forgot to be a general, and when he heard Li Tianxi compare himself with a company commander who was disposed of in the second division, he immediately asked Li Tianxi like a fried rooster.

"Hehe, it's Lao Li's fault, I shouldn't compare you to him, I'll apologize to you."

"No, an apology is not enough, at least invite me and my brothers and my brothers to a drink."

"Okay, I promise you, after returning to the mainland, I will have five suites in the Drunken Immortal Building, and invite my brothers to drink."

"That's pretty much it." ……

When Xiao Zhang San and Li Tianxi were arguing, Chief Kiquet invited Ye Chenglin aside alone and said, "Irma loves General Ye very much, I want to marry Irma to General Ye as his wife, is General Ye willing?" ”

"Irma is a good girl, and I am willing to marry her."

Because of the influence of Li Mingyuan, the officers of the National Defense Army generally pay attention to being pure and decisive, and in the face of the girl he likes, Ye Chenglin will not behave like an old-fashioned showman, and directly agreed.

"General Ye is as brave as a male on the Patagonian plateau, and I'm very happy for Irma to be able to marry you."

Ye Chenglin is the supreme military commander of the Wehrmacht in Patagonia, and his acceptance as the son-in-law of the Kiquet tribe plays a very important role in improving the status of the Kiquet tribe in the Patagonian Indian Union, and with the help of Ye Chenglin's son-in-law, Jin Gudan's rule in the Kiquet will be more stable.

After the successful completion of the marriage between Kiquet and the Patagonian Defense Forces, Jin Gudan was in a good mood and said, "I heard that His Majesty the King has not yet married and had children, and there are many beautiful Indian girls in the Kiquet tribe, and we are willing to give His Majesty the King a few Kiquet girls so that they can take care of His Majesty's life."

General Ye, the Kiqet tribe has nothing to give to His Majesty, but we only hope to be able to let a few Kiqit girls take care of His Majesty and express our gratitude to His Majesty the King for his rich gifts. ”

"This matter needs to be decided by His Highness, and I will convey the heart of the Kiqet tribe to His Highness on behalf of the chief."

"Then it's going to trouble General Ye." ……
