This was the first time that the members of the Bengang Alliance were conquered by Bengang without being coerced, and through an order issued by the Alliance Committee, a steady stream of indigenous warriors rushed out of the jungle around Bengang and entered the camp prepared for them.

The members of the Bengang Alliance who were invited to come brought more than 100 warriors, and some brought more than 20 clansmen, gathered in the garrison outside Bengang City. In a few days, no less than 2,000 warriors of various ethnic groups have gathered here, and they are being integrated into companies under the command of the commander of the coalition forces, Lahok.

With the popularity of Bengang in recent years, as well as the silent control of the surrounding tribes, although on the bright side, few people from various tribes will go out of the tribal cottage and come to Bengang to live and live like before. But in fact, through the invisible invasion of Bengang in terms of economy and knowledge, the identification of various tribes with Bengang has been further increased, and even a sense of superiority has been generated by joining the Bengang Alliance, and those tribes who have not joined are not rightly looked at it.

The indigenous identity of Bengang is also out of interest, and with the operation of Bengang here over the years, all kinds of new crop cultivation methods have been unreservedly taught to these tribes by Bengang people. At the same time, after the tribes of Bengang put down their bows and crossbows and picked up hoes, sickles and other tools, their lives became better, and more and more grain and other crops began to pile up in the simple houses of the tribes.

On the Bengang side, under the leadership of Yumo, the men of Qixintang went to various villages and exchanged the exquisite objects trafficked from the Ming Dynasty for the remaining food, furs and other materials in the hands of the tribesmen, so that their lives became richer and more stable.

In addition, Father Felix and the gentlemen under the Salesian Bureau of Bengang went down to various tribes to spread the knowledge of Chinese civilization, so that tribal children and adults could learn to speak Ming dialect and write Chinese characters, and assimilate these indigenous people from the roots. In the past eight or nine years, the first batch of indigenous people who have received a complete Oriental Chinese education have also grown up and integrated into the leadership of various tribes.

No way, compared to those indigenous compatriots who have no knowledge and culture, these new indigenous people who have knowledge and know how to use their brains want to compete for posts in the same position, this difficulty is not too easy!

Without the fierce jungle struggle, more job opportunities are to deal with the people from Bengang Qixintang to calculate the price of grain, the purchase price of cloth and other materials, or how many acres of grain should be planted in the tribe this year, how many acres of sugarcane and other nerve-wracking calculation problems, I don't know a big word, and the calculation within ten is a big problem for the old natives, of course, I can't compete with the new natives who have systematically studied mathematics.

Life is better, naturally, the indigenous people's identification with Bengang is deeper, when Yumo and they issued an order to the alliance to fight, without much consideration, the members of the indigenous alliance organized the warriors of their respective tribes to come to Bengang to report, no longer the original idea of pushing back and worrying about the damage of their own soldiers.

It's right to think about it, although a strong laborer is also an important strong laborer in the tribe, if he can hold the big thick leg of Bengang, the big livestock such as cattle and horses are also fully competent, even more than the role of a strong man.

Therefore, the leaders of the clans now have a clear mind in their hearts, as long as they keep up with the pace of Bengang, the future of their clan will definitely be more stable than their own alone.

Moreover, everyone has suddenly received a battle order from Bengang, and they don't know who this target is, but everyone is inevitably in a trance, if this person becomes the enemy and target of Bengang now, then it will almost announce the destruction of this tribe.

Looking at the entire Bengang surrounding hundreds of miles, there are still opponents who have the courage to make trouble for the Bengang people, not a single one, let alone an opponent who is really against them.

But to the northeast, the elders of the Zhuluo Mountain Society a few years ago, the treacherous and cunning Dahai and the remnants of his subordinates when they rebelled against Bengang, are standing in the plains hundreds of miles away, and everyone is wondering if this opponent will be them?

If it were them, the members of the tribe present would not be so surprised, although they heard that the original culprit Dahai and the patriarchs and leaders of the tribes died in a fire, but those of their clansmen were the sons of this Dahai, who had been driven out of the tribe by the Zhuluo Mountain Society, among the Black Panther tribe he founded.

Although the principle of repayment of father's debts and son's debts is not common among the indigenous tribes, it is not difficult for them to accept this concept from China under the influence of Chinese culture over the years.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the conquest order issued by Bengang was not just aimed at a tribe or a region, and their ideas were even bigger and more sensational.

Li Tianyang's mind began to move after the population of Jilong Port began to show signs of saturation, although there was a ready-made base at the southern end of Dayuan Island, but for Li Tianyang and his team at this time, it seemed that the development of the south was a bit of a contradiction.

Bengang - Jilong Harbor route, hundreds of miles of voyage, between which there are large areas of undeveloped land and jungle, although there is a superior sea route can go back and forth, but if you can also open up a road on land to connect each other, then for the two places, it is of great significance.

Not to mention how much convenience the opening of land transportation can bring to the traffic between Jilong Port and Bengang, it is because of this that the development of the surrounding area is also what Li Tianyang and them expect.

The development of the two bases in the east and west is to show the future development goals of Hongtang, but now that the two places have gradually entered a better situation, it is necessary for Li Tianyang and them to connect the two points into a line and communicate with each other, instead of opening another base and starting over.

After thinking about it, Li Tianyang and the others finally gave up the idea of going south to take over the Dutch stronghold, but decided to open up a new stronghold in the coastal area between Bengang and Jilonggang as a turning place in between.

And now Bengang and Jilong Gang are fighting eastward, and the teams are advancing westward, precisely in order to connect each other's passages from the land in the future, explore the way in advance, and clear some obstacles.

Of course, preparations for the new stronghold were also being made at the same time, because the new leader of the stronghold could finally be said to be out of the division and was able to meet Li Tianyang's basic requirements.
