The army that Hongmen was sent to suppress the bandits went and came in a hurry, and the first to be transported back was naturally a large number of gold and silver supplies that were escorted back first, and the more than 500 mobs.

Ruijin County seems to be small, and the population in the county does not seem to be tens of thousands, but the goods and funds collected by Hongmen are converted into more than 200,000 taels of silver, which is about to catch up with the profits of an ocean trade.

This is a very strange place at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the government and the court because there is no money available, and they are in arrears with the food and salary of the border soldiers, when the people at the bottom are unable to continue and cannot afford to rent the land, the landlords and gentry in the various prefectures and counties are full of gold and silver, and the surplus grain is full of warehouses.

The huge difference between the rich and the poor, and the tax system of the Ming Dynasty has a huge inherent loophole, so that the Ming Dynasty court has less and less taxable land, while the people at the bottom have to face more and more taxes and distributions every year, which has formed a dead circle in the last days.

The more than 500 mobs were actually lucky, if there was no order from Li Tianyang to let Niu Qiangwei transport them to Dayuan Island, I am afraid that the final fate of these mob captives at this time would be quite miserable.

Li Tianyang was not out of kindness, although at the beginning, he may have had such thoughts, but after receiving Niu Qiangwei's detailed report on all the tragedies that happened in Ruijin City, he had to rethink the future arrangements for this group of people.

The actions of this group of mobs can no longer allow Li Tianyang to easily send them to other strongholds that need to be developed, otherwise this group of guys who have opened the door of the devil in their hearts, you will never know what they will do in the next moment.

Moreover, it was so easy to spare them, ignoring the heinous crimes they had committed, which was not in line with the concept of good and evil in Li Tianyang's heart, and there was no way to comfort the group of Ruijin villagers who died tragically.

Although Li Tianyang made all these arrangements in order to rapidly develop the foundation of Hongmen, it did not mean that he would allow a group of scum to appear in his team.

Soon, Li Tianyang made a decision to send all these more than 500 people to the most dangerous mines in Hongmen, so that they could contribute to Hongmen.

This is a win-win situation for everyone, but this group of mobs will behave well in the next ten years, and Li Tianyang may not be untruthful to a certain amount of time, elevating them to a certain degree of freedom, being able to get married, have children, enjoy personal privacy, and so on.

Even if the Hongmen treated slaves, I am afraid that it was better than the so-called domestic children and long-term workers in this era, for example, the indigenous slaves who were allocated in the previous clean-up activities of the Hongmen not only had enough sleep every day, although the food was crude but full, and at the same time, the well-behaved indigenous slaves even had the right to live with their relatives.

On the Hongmen side, they can also have a group of free labor, without paying them any wages and salaries, and they don't have to worry about the other party going around spreading the big secret that they own the gold mine.

Niu Qiangwei and his brigade took a little longer to return, and it was not until early April that they hurried back from the Fuzhou Governor Yamen. What they brought back with them was the reward and encouragement for the meritorious service of the Fujian Navy team.

The concessions made by Li Tianyang before, although his own naval army still won the first place in this war, but in the eyes of many generals who received their favor, it was not so eye-catching, after all, the other bandit generals also received more or less a military merit and reward.

At this moment, Li Tianyang still only thinks about being able to develop the entire Dayuan Island as soon as possible, so being able to take the opportunity to develop and expand Hongmen with peace of mind is the situation that Li Tianyang is willing to see at this moment.

After the Ming Dynasty experienced the change of its own country, the peasant rebellion in northern Shaanxi, and so on, the official army dispatch became more and more frequent, and troops were dispatched everywhere to garrison outside the Guan, or join the ranks of the strangled peasant rebellion army.

Li Tianyang hasn't thought about it for the time being, like other protagonists, walking out of the remote place of Dayuan Island, coming to the front desk, using the corpses of the rioting peasant army, or fighting on the battlefield outside the Guan, and accumulating contacts and resources among the Xiong army outside the Guan.

Although, he had already started speculating in advance, and sent batches of outstanding team members who had undergone basic espionage training to go to the peasant rebellion army or the Ming military.

In Li Tianyang's thoughts, if he can't completely conquer such a remote island as Dayuan Island, then what qualifications does he have to run to the big stage of the Ming Dynasty where evil is rampant!

Li Tianyang, who thought he was self-aware, resolutely continued to work hard and continued to develop the urban land that they continued to expand outward.

As Hongmen gradually became dominant, the Bengang Alliance has also made frequent changes in recent years, and has continued to increase sweeping operations in areas such as the Central Mountain Range and the Snow Mountain Range.

More and more indigenous tribes have begun to truly see Hongmen as a member of their own side, and at the same time, they are beginning to see themselves as one of the members of the alliance, which is the one thing they are most proud of.

More and more indigenous people began to speak Chinese, more and more indigenous people went to settle in Hongmen, and more and more indigenous children received education in Hongmen Chinese culture and learned the customs and habits of the Chinese nation.

All of them are in the process of summoning the Hongmen for more than ten years and the efforts of the people have finally paid off, and the domestication of the indigenous people has entered the harvest time.

Of course, Hongmen also paid a sufficient price, with Lake. Barton, the patriarchs of the many indigenous tribes led by the Black Panther Clan's Mana Wu, it is impossible for Li Tianyang's plan to succeed easily, they have naturally made many efforts.

After a trip to Beijing, Lake. While the horizons of Barton and the others were broadened by the wonderful and rich world of the outside world, they actually understood a truth, that is, if they wanted the tribe to continue to exist, it was impossible to rely on force alone.

The longer they came into contact with Hongmen, the more frightened they became, and they were shocked by the strength of Hongmen, the rapid development of Hongmen, and their various, new and strange new and powerful weapons.

The current Hongmen, with the army in their hands alone, is enough to sweep away all the indigenous tribes on Dayuan Island, even if the total population of the indigenous tribes at this time still occupies an advantage.

If the confrontation becomes delusional, then they can only change their strategy and use other methods to achieve the continuation of the clan.
