242 Wielding a stick

"However, everyone has also seen that objects such as steam trains, not to mention how arduous and important its cost project is, just its supporting subway rail first-class, the consumables required, that is also a huge expense."

"Don't look at the fact that my Hongmen laid such a railway track that is only ten miles long in Bengang, but it has cost all our Qixintang's steel reserves, if you want to build a longer railway, it is not difficult for everyone to imagine the cost of land!"

After Li Tianyang finished talking about his prospects, he began to pour bitter water, and laid out the costs and difficulties of wanting to realize such novelties in the future.

"As the so-called one person counts the short, the two count the long, want to rely on the power of one person and one family, to implement such a big tool, but it is a difficult thing to climb the world, we are not a dynasty after all, naturally we need to gather the strength of the family to have the opportunity to promote these things."

"As for the mechanical technology such as water conservancy textile machines, lathes, and drilling machines that we are using in Hongmen, as long as you have needs, I only assure you on behalf of Hongmen that I Hongmen will provide them without reservation."

Li Tianyang's words are good, but there are too many requirements and conditions when you really want to operate, especially the price of these machinery, which will be a profitable industry.

However, the crowd below was moved by Li Tianyang's words, and they all applauded Li Tianyang's atmosphere, and at the same time began to wonder what skills their business needs in their hearts.

After landing from Bengang, everyone returned to their homes with various thoughts and rested.

After today's shocking trip, the chiefs of the indigenous tribes returned to their homes in Bengang with different thoughts, and it was another story to move around at night.

In this regard, Li Tianyang's trip to Bengang with everyone this time has come to an end, although there is no other action after that, even the previous action of accepting orders as soon as a new product comes out has been abandoned because Hongmen has not expressed.

However, after this incident, whether it is a member of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce or a member of the Bengang Alliance, the mentality of relying on Hongmen has become stronger, which can be felt from the fact that everyone walks around with Hongmen's high-level in private.

After sending off a group of people from the Chamber of Commerce, Li Tianyang took the members of the Indigenous Alliance to Keelung Town, Huludao and Penghu Islands and other places, and even watched the Dyeing Workshop, and thousands of Hongmen soldiers cooperated tacitly as if they were arm-in.

And on the sea, the use of more than a dozen "Jiaolong-type" and "Yangfan-type" warships of the Hongtang fleet at the expense of ammunition and the use of abandoned sea ships as targets made the debut of the Hongtang fleet even more impressive. Barton, Mana, and the patriarchs who have always retained the racial plot were dumbfounded.

At this time, the Mana Wu and them realized that Hongmen, who had always been polite and well-behaved to everyone before, was such a powerful team, and everyone was still holding some luck mentality, thinking that most of the tribes in the alliance were united, even if they could not defeat Hongmen, but they could also confront Hongmen.

With all kinds of knowledge and skills learned from the Hongmen people, coupled with the pig iron resources collected privately by various tribes, the indigenous people, who occupy a geographical advantage in the future, will finally be able to achieve racial independence.

However, a play and a visit completely broke the luck psychology of the indigenous patriarchs, and many patriarchs who had been wavering for a long time made up their minds at that time to follow the Hongmen people in the future and expand to the outside world.

Mana Vul and Lake. Barton's two backbones who resisted Hongmen had ugly faces at this time, but they could only force a smile and not leak flaws in front of Li Tianyang.

Mana Wu is okay, after all, in the past few years, he has made a lot of money behind the Hongmen, and the tribe has learned a lot of farming knowledge, and at the same time he does not hesitate to destroy the natural environment, and has established several farms, lime factories, brick and tile factories around the tribe, and he himself does not have much hatred with Hongmen, and at the same time he is very urban, and he knows how to bend and stretch the truth, and in the daily intersection of Hongmen, even if it is not as good as Yushan and Zhuluoshan Society, it is not too bad.

But Lake. Barton is different, in the past, Hongmen and his personal blood feud, I have not been let go by him, and the only time Hongmen suffered a big loss in the hands of the aborigines was from the Laike tribe, so over the years, although the Hongmen people have treated the Laike tribe politely on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are not as close as other tribes.

This is human nature, the thousands of soldiers who lost in the First World War were the backbone of Hongmen, and now their relatives and younger generations have grown up, and naturally they have joined Hongmen.

Li Tianyang treats the aborigines more than the members of the Chamber of Commerce, which is naturally because in Li Tianyang's view, the help of the aborigines to Hongmen in the future is the most valuable among the major chess pieces of Hongmen today.

The population of Hongmen, after Wu Jie and his return from North Korea with more than 100,000 people, has broken through the 600,000 mark, and the more people at the bottom, it means that when Hongmen embarks on the road of Li Tianyang's ambition in the future, their bargaining chips will be stronger.

But to be honest, if you want to rely on the strength of Dayuan Island alone, you can embark on the road of dominating the world, but it is a little thin, even if Hongmen has other arrangements in Shanghai, the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the Qing Dynasty people, who now seem to be not qualified enough to wrestle with the Ming Dynasty, have controlled a population of more than three million, but their war potential is several times that of Hongmen.

Therefore, by means of reproduction and annexation, they have now grown into the Bengang Alliance tribes with a total population of more than 200,000, but they are already a group that cannot be underestimated around Hongmen.

Most of the indigenous people have long been accustomed to the existence of Hongmen, and are deeply attracted by the more affluent and civilized life of Hongmen, and the hard work of nearly 20 years has made the aborigines an irreversible torrent.

Lake. The reason why Barton and the others still have a little extravagance is that after the living conditions improved at that time, the average life expectancy of the natives also increased, and twenty years was enough time for the Hongmen to cultivate a group of young people who were committed to the Hongmen among the natives, but at the same time, most of the high-level leaders who really held the power of the clan were still in the hands of the older generation of natives.

The loyalty of the older generation to the clan is not something that Hongmen can completely conquer in 20 years, and as those in power with vested interests, the leaders in high positions naturally believe in the proverb that they would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox.
