"Captain Xi, lead your men and soldiers to conquer the three indigenous tribes in this vicinity in the shortest possible time! Note that it is a conquest, not a destruction, and it is strictly forbidden to kill prisoners, and those who are strong are to be used as laborers to build new cities. Lord Wu gave an order with a calm face, and said to Ye Ya again: "Brother Ye, it is better to send a few brothers who are familiar with the terrain to take us soldiers there." ”

"Yes!" The young officer, with a beautiful turn, leaned his legs firmly on one foot, ran a few steps in broken steps, stood still, and shouted to the soldiers: "All the first battalion of the third main regiment is there. ”

"Yes! ......" A neat and loud voice sounded behind everyone like thunder, Rao is Ye Yalai, a descendant who is not afraid of heaven and earth, was almost frightened.

"Follow the regiment and go on the expedition!" The young officer snorted loudly, saluted Wu Ruxiao, and strode up to Ye Yalai, signaling him to send someone to lead the way. Ye Yalai summoned several miners who were familiar with the local area to lead the way. The three or four hundred soldiers walked away in orderly steps.

That Lord Wu asked about some information about this mineral, and Ye Yalai also answered them one by one. When he learned that there was a huge tin-iron mine being mined here, the Wu man was very interested. According to him, nowadays this tin is used to make daily necessities and handicrafts, such as wine sets, candlesticks, tea sets, vases, etc., which are peaceful and silky, noble and elegant, and have always been favored by European aristocrats, but they are very expensive. Therefore, this tin mine has great prospects for development, and it must be occupied to provide a source of capital and income for the Chinese to build a city here in the future.

Ye Yalai's owner, Chen Yufa, the owner of "Hongfahao", hurriedly informed Lord Wu that this mine now belongs to the territory of the Selangor tribe, and he will contract it to open the mine, and hand over a certain amount of money to the leader of the Selangor tribe every year, Racha Abdullah, and he is willing to contribute the mining rights to the imperial court as funds for the construction of the new city. He also mentioned that there are many tin mines and even gold-silver mines in the Selangor tribe, but they are all controlled by the tribal leader Racha Abdullah.

Lord Wu patted Chen Yufa on the shoulder to express his praise and said, "Don't worry, these indigenous tribes have their own arrangements in the imperial court. ”

That night, Lord Wu led the people to camp in the river valley and rest for the night.

The next morning, shortly after dawn, Ye Yalai was woken up by a noisy sound. When I got up and looked, I found that Lord Wu and the Chinese leaders such as Xingapo and Malacca had already risen.

Lord Wu seemed to be in high spirits, and did not mention the matter of returning to Malacca, but said that he wanted to walk around the neighborhood to see what the scenery around this future Chinese city was. But this river valley is a large river bay at all, and next to it is a riverbank wasteland formed by the impact plain, and the vegetation is luxuriant, if you do not stand on the high deck of a steamship, all you can see is grass and trees, and you can't see the boundless scenery at all, what is there to see?

It was still the owner Chen Yufa who was clever, and he said to Ye Ya: "The appearance of going to Ersanli here, isn't there a big round slope, the scenery there, maybe the adults will like it, hurry up and take the adults there." ”

When Ye Yalai and Chen Yufa led Lord Wu to a big round slope by the river beach, Lord Wu stood in the distance of the round slope and looked up, and suddenly shouted as if he had found something amazing: "Leaders, please see, this big earth slope is not like a chicken coop in my hometown in Guangdong?" ”

After Lord Wu said this, Ye Yalai hurriedly calmed down and took a look, it was true, he had seen this soil slope so many times before, and it was the first time he found that this large soil slope, the two ends are round, and the dome and the shrubs on both sides have been beaten by thousands of years of wind and rain, stacked and distinct, forming natural lines, like bamboo strips, the chicken coop in the hometown.

The crowd also praised the dome as resembling a chicken coop.

Lord Wu laughed out loud and said in surprise: "It just so happens that the newly built Chinese city has not yet been named, so it is named after this slope, which is called Jilong Slope, which not only has a reason, but also allows everyone not to forget their hometown, how about it?" ”

When he said this, everyone naturally did not object, and praised the name for fitting it, so the name of this Chinese city that has not yet been established was decided: Jilongpo!

At this time, a soldier came to report that the soldiers of the third main regiment had returned.

Ye Yalai followed everyone back to the camp where he rested last night, and was taken aback:

I saw that more than 400 soldiers who went out yesterday were escorting thousands of naked prisoners, which was quite spectacular. These captives were all Malay natives, and although they were still very thin, they were already strong compared to the slave miners they had bought from the tribe a few days ago. And among these captives, the only one who was short and fat in a blue robe, Ye Yalai recognized it, it was the king of the Selangor tribe, Racha Abdullah, although his face was full of scars, his hair was messy, and he was very embarrassed, but Ye Yalai still recognized it. Ye Yalai couldn't believe it!

In this way, in just one night, more than 400 imperial court troops uprooted the nearby Selangor tribe, and even captured the king of their tribe, Racha Abdullah, so to speak, the entire Selangor, a large tribe of nearly 10,000 people and 2,000 soldiers, has been completely wiped out. It's horrible! Ye Yalai knew that this Selangor tribe was known for its courage and ruthlessness for hundreds of miles in this Malaliu, and it was only because of this that they were able to occupy the tin mines in the Klang Valley. Unexpectedly, the tribe with 2,000 soldiers was wiped out in such a night.

"Report to my lord, the 3rd Main Regiment of the 38th Infantry Division was ordered to encircle and suppress the three indigenous tribes in this vicinity, and our troops divided into three routes, and after a night of fierce fighting, they have defeated all the three indigenous tribes of Selangor, Yasha, and Kalanmu, because these indigenous resistance was too fierce, and more than 2,500 people were killed on the spot, and the remaining 12,000 people all surrendered and became prisoners. The lower officials selected 1,200 able-bodied men from among them for the adults to use to help build the new city, and the rest of the old and weak women and children sent a company to watch over the Selangor tribe. The soldiers of our regiment were shot by the poisoned arrows of the aborigines 42 people, of which 2 were killed in vital points, 7 were seriously injured, and the rest have been detoxified without major problems, and 2 of the 412 soldiers who went out to fight were lost. The head of the regiment, Xi Baotian, has finished reporting, please instruct! ”

The young officer ran to Lord Wu, saluted and reported loudly, the content of which made Ye Yalai's mouth so shocked that he couldn't close it. Unexpectedly, last night, more than 400 of their soldiers were still divided into three ways and defeated all the three nearby tribes in one fell swoop, oh my God, what kind of combat power is this? You must know that these three tribes, even the foreigners who rule Malacca do not dare to go deep into the tribe to attack. Last year, because of the mine dispute, even if his owner Chen Yufa had hundreds of subordinates, he did not dare to offend the Selangor tribe at all, but gave a big gift to the tribal king Racha Abdullah to apologize and settle the dispute. But I didn't expect that in this way, under my nose, in one night, even the three tribes were raised to the bottom. Ye Yalai finally understood why those foreigners obediently backed down, and why these Chinese bosses in Xingapo and Malacca would obediently obey the command of the adult surnamed Wu.

"Excellent! Commander Xi, take good care of the injured soldiers, and in addition, keep the ashes of the two heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, and bring them back to their hometown for burial! Take a break on your own! Lord Wu didn't think that the big victory was a great thing, but he was a little unhappy about the two dead soldiers and the seriously injured people, but he recovered immediately and said to Ye Ya: "Brother Ye, you are a supervisor in the mine, you have a lot of experience, and now the imperial court wants to build a new Jilongpo City here, Wu wants to keep you as a supervisor to supervise the work of the natives who were captured just now, what do you think?" ”

Without waiting for Ye Yalai to answer, his proprietor Chen Yufa agreed with his mouth, and Ye Yalai naturally became an "official" hired by the imperial court.

A few days later, Wu Ruxiao left Malacca by boat, but in the Klang River Valley, 300 miles away from Malacca, on a dirt slope shaped like a chicken coop, Ye Yalai held a long whip and shouted loudly. Hundreds of Malay aborigines are busy building foundations and dumping stones, dozens of soldiers in gray uniforms with muskets are patrolling back and forth, and in the distance, hundreds of aborigines are using dozens of rafts to transport stones collected in the rainforest, and in the rainforest on the upper bank of the river, there are also a group of women and children cutting down trees and rolling into the river......

The construction of a newly built city belonging to the Chinese, Jilongpo, was officially started.
