Li Zhe gathered a number of major shareholders of Kaesong Mining Co., Ltd. in Kaesong and boldly divided the entire Nanyanzhou into his pocket. In the vast Nanyanzhou prairie, several crusade teams led by Ma Zhong, Yan Guozhen and others were still sweeping day and night.

After three months of non-stop sweeping, almost two-thirds of the area in Nanyanzhou, which was originally demarcated by Li Zhe, has been successfully swept away.

Originally, half a year ago, the advance team only opened a wide road in the grassland from the Kaesong Peninsula where Kaesong is located to Pretoria, where the South Yanzhou gold mine is located, but the goal of this expedition team is to completely sweep South Yanzhou and completely bring this land into their own hands.

To achieve this goal, the expedition team mobilized a total of 8,000 Kaesong garrisons, and almost the army of the Kaesong garrison was pouring out. Including almost a thousand cuirassiers, of which five hundred were the Kaesong garrison itself, and the other five hundred were borrowed from the Falklands governor.

More than 120 artillery pieces of all sorts were used, 3,000 musketeers and another 3,000 spearmen.

The men were divided into six raiding squads, each of which was strong enough to wipe out three or four of the natives of the land. The warriors of the so-called primitive tribes were simply vulnerable to the transcendent force and system of the crusade team.

Compared with the military system of the two sides and the military system of later generations, the combat system of the regular army of the Song people in this era is basically close to the combat system of the Napoleonic era in the eighteenth century, while the combat system of the indigenous people is even inferior to the Roman era in the West and the Spring and Autumn Period in the East. The battle mode similar to theirs in the East may have to be traced back to the legendary Yanhuang Era.

Because the weapons of the natives are mainly cold weapons, the soldiers of the crusade team even put on the cuirasses and leather armor that the soldiers had long abandoned for this battle - this thing is useless when fighting with hot weapons, but it is a real weapon of destruction against the natives.

Under the protection of this batch of armor, the crusade team did not even have a few deaths, and the only dozen or so battle losses were mostly killed during the raid, and some were accidentally bitten by snakes and insects here, rather than by the swords of the natives.

And in the second half of the sweep operation, because most of the big tribes in the vicinity that were really threatening were swept away, and the rest were small indigenous tribes struggling on the death line and lacking a sense of confrontation.

Under the threat of life and death of the raiding party, these local natives finally learned to compromise and succumbed to the power of the raiding party, so in the end, the raiding party itself rarely even went into battle, and the task of real battlefield slaughter was instead given to the servant army, which was composed of more than 6,000 local conquered indigenous warriors.

This force included almost all the tribes of the local natives, including the Bantu and Casa blacks, and under the threat of survival and death, after the raiding party established a reasonable incentive mechanism for the reward of those bright steel knives, spears and other metal weapons, and enough generous food, these people were even more fierce than the raiding party.

Therefore, the second half of the sweep is like rolling dominoes, and wherever the raiding party sweeps, the local area is basically to see which indigenous race is attached faster, and which tribe's samurai can achieve a higher position in the servant army.

In such a situation, of course, the tribes of the entire steppe will be quickly brought together under the system of this newly established servant army, and whichever tribe climbs faster in this system, which tribe can survive better in the next competition.

This colonial system of the Song people was quite effective, especially for the semi-primitive tribes of Nanyanzhou, who had not yet formed their own national and national culture.

This system even helped the natives to evolve, quickly getting rid of the original half-scattered and primitive form of separation, and successfully twisted into a tribe linked by geographical relations.

Under the spur of the Song people, the high-ranking people, the culture of these indigenous people has also evolved rapidly, moving closer to the cultural system with the Song people as the core, and a new nation in the true sense is about to be born!

Billy Helrington stayed in Kaesong for a few days, and the biggest gain was to buy shares of Kaesong Mining through underground channels, spending a total of 12,000 guilders to buy 300 shares of Kaesong Mining, that is, one stock of Kaesong Mining, worth 400 guilders, almost spent almost all of Billy's money in the small gold mine.

This was all he had as the son-in-law of the King of Sweden and the only governor of Sweden's overseas colonies

As for why Billy, as a Swede, traded the guilder, it is embarrassing to say. Sweden is now barely a military power, but it is a weak country economically.

Sweden's own currency simply cannot be circulated internationally.

The strongest currencies in Europe are the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France, and if you are in the New World, then the currencies of Spain and Portugal are also strong, after all, the strength of these two countries is still in the top three in the New World. But in Europe, the two brothers and sisters have irretrievably declined.

Therefore, as overseas governors, the Swedes had to choose the guilder as the best storage currency, after all, the Netherlands is now the strongest country in international trade, and the best form of circulation is that it can be directly circulated in many shops in the port of Zaesong.

Of course, Kaesong shares are 400 guilders a piece, and this price is too exaggerated.

The reason why it is so expensive is because although the shares that Billy bought are indeed fine, there are really some problems with this channel.

At present, there is no way to buy these shares through formal circulation channels in this market, and what Billy buys is simply bought from the black market. These shares were bought from the Qiuba of the Kaesong garrison.

Only the most heartless bachelors in these garrisons are willing to sell the shares that will obviously increase in value in the future, otherwise, they are a little thoughtful, who does not know that the shares in their hands out of thin air are well saved, and I don't know how many people will regard these shares in their hands as future heirlooms.
