After arriving at Bohai County, the mouth of the Yellow River, all the money convoys returned to Pyongyang by Jiaolong Maritime Navigation.

Li Yu took the 500 guards left behind and the 1,000 Andong Pioneer Regiment escorts who came together to go up the Yellow River, and took the summons given by Li Zhi to order the states and counties on both sides of the Yellow River to assist him in clearing out the bandits along the way.

All prefectures and counties have summoned a group of government officials and united soldiers to cooperate with Li Yu's men and horses, and learned from the mouths of the captives that the bandits fled and set up ambushes everywhere, while Li Yu personally led 1,500 soldiers and horses one by one to clear out the bandits' dens within 100 miles on both sides of the Yellow River.

In the face of the sudden arrival of officers and soldiers, a small group of bandits chose to flee into the mountains and forests.

More than 2,000 people gathered in the northern foothills of Juyeze in Yunzhou, and the strength of the giant bandit Luhe Gang, which can be called the first in Henan Province, thought that the officers and soldiers who came to clean up were still the unbearable goods of the local government in the past. The bandit leader Lu Niu Xun was captured and taken to Li Yu.

Lu Niu Xun saw that he was a young man wearing beautiful armor and a white-faced scholar, and he hated and was unwilling to be defeated under the hands of a milky little man, not only did he not kneel but also asked confidently: "Who are you?" Why attack a certain copycat? ”

Seeing that he was disrespectful to Li Yu, the guards kicked his feet to the ground, and Li Yu pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the shoulder, and immediately the blood flowed like a pillar.

"If you want to kill or chop, you have a good time, why torture a certain ......"

Lu Niu scolded in pain.

"Yo, he's still a tough guy!"

Li Yu laughed playfully, and crackled his knife on Lu Niu's rough face.

"The raw Kong Wu is powerful, and the combat effectiveness is also quite strong, and the soldiers of the government are really helpless to help you. It's a pity that who made you valued by me, so naturally I have to give you a different place to display your talents. ”

"Boy, what did you say, who is you?"

Lu Niu Yan roared with grief and indignation, and still did not understand who attacked him.

"Bold, dare to be disrespectful to His Royal Highness King Yan."

The guards who escorted Lu Niu immediately kicked him fiercely more than a dozen times, until he kicked him out more and less in air. Li Yu smiled and watched the guards teach him a lesson, for a strong man like Lu Niuxun, he naturally has to be tame, otherwise how to drive it?

The guards retracted their hands and feet, and Lu Niuyun, who was beaten and couldn't get up with a blue nose and swollen face, raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him with difficulty, and said weakly: "You are the Yan King Li Yu who attacked Silla in Pinggoguryeo and opened up overseas desert islands......

"Hehe, it's down there."

Li Yu said with a harmless smile: "I have dug a lot of thought and found a few good resettlement sites for bandits like you, and in about two months, I can send you to a paradise-like region where wild beasts and fish and shrimp are everywhere to breed, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the expansion of China's territory......"

Lu Niu's eyes were black and he fainted directly, and there was only one thought in his mind before fainting: "Will the famous Yan King be so kind to find them a heavenly place to settle in?" ”

The guard probed Niu Yan's snort and said, "Your Highness, he fainted." ”

Li Yu waved his hand: "Take him into custody, remember to put chains and shackles on him, don't let him have a chance to escape." This kind of ruthless person is most suitable to contribute to the kind of barbarian land that is ruthless by nature and not afraid of death. ”

The guards laughed, "Your Highness is paranoid about ruthless people, and when you find ruthless people, you will send them to the northern islands thousands of miles away." ”

This battle exterminated the huge bandit Luhe Gang, not only captured the bandit Shoulu Niu Ying, but also captured thousands of bandits, seized thousands of money, 300 stone of grain, and sold all those broken weapons as scrap iron to blacksmith shops to make farm tools.

In the following month, Li Yu led his troops to clear out more than 30 bandits within a 100-mile radius according to the confessions of the captured prisoners and the cooperation of various local prefectures and counties, killing more than 1,000 people and capturing more than 3,000 people, regardless of money and food.

The captives, big and small, whether they were bandit leaders or ordinary bandits, were all handcuffed and shackled, and they boarded the sea ship escorting them to Andong in Bohai County in despair.

"With these more than 4,000 ferocious bandits, it will not be a problem to capture the rogue, drive Dumei and Sakhalin to build a city and establish a stable rule."

Li Yu was satisfied, and this move not only solved the problem of bandits on both sides of the Yellow River that had become more and more ferocious in recent years, but also provided him with the most suitable manpower for completely controlling the vast area along the Shaohai coast.

Those who can become bandits are naturally strong and fierce by nature, and if you throw them into the barbaric Yi people, you don't have to worry about them suffering, and if you have enough people, you don't have to worry about them being assimilated by the Yi people.

After all, the people of Sandi they are about to go to are sparsely populated due to the harsh natural environment, and the development of civilization is too backward, and the further north they go, the more primitive and barbaric the Yi people are, the more sparse the population, they will not smelt iron, they will not have agriculture, they will only hunt and gather, and at most they will herd reindeer.

……

Li Yu returned to Pyongyang with the boat escorting the bandits, and the Xin'er and the daughters, who came back early, were very happy when they heard that Li Yu had returned safe and sound, and they jumped up one by one to give Li Yu an intimate hug.

Li Yu hugged Xin'er's delicate body and smiled evilly: "I haven't been around during this time, Sister Xin'er, you have grown a few catties of meat." ”

"I hate it, bad gentleman, you will say that it is better to be thinner, and then you will say that it is better to be fat and hold the soft flesh, what do you want?"

Xin'er pretended to be angry, Xiaoxiu punched Li Yu's chest a few times, Li Yu called a comfortable person next to her, and her enjoyment made Xin'er blush.

"Come one by one, let Xun Jun check and check, Ben Yin is not here, are you fat or thin."

Li Yu's peach blossom eyes swept over the maids who came to greet him, and the maids who were familiar with him knew that his Royal Highness was going to do bad things with an excuse.

Li Yu glanced at Yang Huanniang, who was shy and tangled, and said with a wicked smile: "Why don't you come first and set an example for everyone?" ”

Yang Huanniang's face turned red, and she and Li Yu didn't see each other for more than a month, and they were quite in love, although they were in public, they still stepped forward and gave Li Yu a warm hug.

embracing beauties, looking at everywhere, all kinds of beautiful ladies look at themselves with anticipation or anticipation, and of course, there are also indifferent little maids who disdain Li Yu's favor.

After the beauties hugged them one by one, they were all busy, and summoned Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing, the former directors and deputy directors of the Xuanwu Sea Expedition, to immediately carry out the colonization of the Liugui Country, the Exodus of the Valley, and Sakhalin Island on the coast of Shaohai.

Li Yu pointed to the survey map brought back by the Xuanwu Sea Expedition Team and the memories of his previous life in his mind, so that the Surveying and Mapping Department made the coast map of the Whale Sea and the Shaohai Sea. Ten colonies were finalized in turn, and he commanded: "This year, the task of the two of you is to transport that group of vicious bandits to the ten places I pointed out to build a city, whether you are cultivating the wasteland, grazing cattle and sheep, fishing and hunting, anyway, you must toss the ten colonies for me, and be self-sufficient." ”
