In the end, this group of Britons succumbed to Wang Kun's obscenity and did not dare to refute it anymore. Wang Kun saw that these guys were honest, and then said:

"Since you are now captives, you cannot eat and drink for nothing here. But don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to write to your family and ask them to send money here. My consciousness is that you have to work to earn your rations, and that you may be released early if you do well. ”

As soon as Wang Kun finished speaking, he heard Weng Weng's voice below, and there was a voice.

"They're going to abuse us, what are we going to do?"

"This is outright banditry, and we must resist!"

"That's right! Just like forcing the king to sign the constitution, we must fight for our own interests? ”

"Nope! Not only do we have to fight for our own rights, we also want to plant the flag of Great Britain here! ”

"That's right! Let them know what is only free under the word 'm'! ”

"But! In other words, what can we resist? ”

……

"This man is a shameless robber! You believe his words, I decided to find time to escape! William, what do you think? ”

"Okay John, you can find a few more people, let's go together! But do you think we'll be able to dodge them, this smokeless rifle? ”

……

Wang Kun smiled faintly, as if he hadn't heard their whispered discussion. Since you have decided to exploit others, don't you allow others to resist it?

But Wang Kun still decided to let them see a little hope, and then said: "To tell you the truth, I didn't let you work this time to let you do anything else. I'm going to let you dig for gold this time, it's a gold mine! ”

As if deliberately giving them time to reflect, after a pause, Wang Kun continued:

"But some people will say, what does this even if it is a gold mine have anything to do with us?" Wang Kun saw that there were still many people nodding, proving that they were listening carefully.

"It's a big deal! We have already explored this gold mine, and the reserves are huge! And I'm going to set a limit, and when you're done, you'll be free, and then I'll allow you to continue mining here!" And I only charge a very low tax, and then you get all your own! ”

"Will there be such a good thing?"

"Is there such a merciful side to this devil?"

"It seems that he heard the counsel of my Lord! Amen! ”

……

"As for how much this amount is set to depend on the amount of gold ore, but you can rest assured that we will not let you work for more than two years!" Wang Kun was like a demon who had become benevolent, and then he said to them like a charity.

Wang Kun is not really benevolent, his real purpose is not really to let them mine here. If this were the case, he could have let the natives do it for him, so that in order to make the skilled men of the Englishmen concentrate on their own work, they would have to resort to some means.

When Wang Kun saw these British, Wang Kun wanted to take some of them for his own use, but after all, he had just robbed others, and they were definitely not very happy. For example, Marven, what Wang Kun wanted was for him to train Xie Wu to become an excellent captain.

Because Wang Kun now seems to have no available people except for the three of himself and Cheng Luo! But this is not enough, Wang Kun thinks that he will have a large fleet in the future, and for the time being, it will be mainly a sailboat.

So it takes a lot of crew sailors, sailors and reliable captains, but also the skills to sail Western soft sailing ships. These now require their own training, and there are also Western shipbuilding technologies and personnel. This is not about the relationship between the advantages and disadvantages of soft return and hard sail, it is related to whether the technology is mature and whether it can 'recruit' people.

In order to let them take out their knowledge and technology, Wang Kun let them be bitter first and then sweet. Let them know that gold mining is a hard job, and then they will learn that it turns out that building ships and training others is a very easy task.

For the British below, it was to force them to dig gold for the robbers. And you have to do it, otherwise your life will be in danger. So in the end they gave in, and they did not sit idle to go so early to see the Lord in whom they believed.

They don't know what Wang Kun thinks in his heart, so they feel that they can't see hope in their lives now, the whole world is dark, there is no freedom, no money, and they are about to face death. They don't believe what Wang Kun said now, and as for the last person who gave them the right to mine gold, they didn't believe that Wang Kun would be so merciful!

"We big guys are all from China, so I won't say more, some of you used to work hard to dig gold mines, what rules did you have, and what rules we will have in the future." Wang Kun felt that the British had already done it, but he didn't know why his own side was always scared.

Hearing Wang Kun say this, these Chinese breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this gang of bandits is still reasonable!

All the problems were solved, and then Wang Kun let Zhang Lei, Zhao Shichang and Xie Wu escort these Britons to the front.

He and Cheng Luo took these Chinese who were recruiting three times in the back, and in order to prevent those British from escaping, Wang Kun also organized them into groups of ten. If one person escapes, the whole group sits together, and they are still tied and strung together. Wang Kun didn't believe that these people wouldn't run away, so he still had to take precautions.

As for these Chinese miners, it was much more convenient, and they were still very docile under the slavery education of the Manchus.

Then, under the leadership of the three people, they headed southwest. Unlike later generations when there were roads and cars, it is still a wasteland and shrubland. So it's hard to go, and you have to keep identifying the direction, but this can't help Zhao Shichang.

In the past, when they were mercenaries, they needed to master this skill, including survival in the wild, identifying directions in the forest and other skills of special forces, they must master. Because if you want to be a large mercenary company, you must have the ability to fight in all kinds of conditions.

So although there is no road from Kuching to Seromun at all now, the weeds are more than one person tall and it is easy to get lost. But these are not problems, Wang Kun and Zhang Lei and Zhao Shichang can handle it.

So it was going to be a tough trip, but luckily the distance between the two places wasn't that far, about fifteen miles or so.

In fact, Shilongmen is not too far from Sanfa, and it can be reached by walking by land for more than a day. So this also means that in the future, Shilongmen will have to guard against threats from the land. But now they don't know, and now the thirteen alliance companies in the Heshun General Hall Company, they haven't exhausted yet. But Wang Kun knew that in another five years, they would dry up one after another, and the company would be forced to close.

Of course, don't worry about that yet, but it seems that it is better to prepare early.

Along the way, Wang Kun found that this place is still very suitable for farming, but there are not many Chinese overseas now. And most of them are concentrated in West Borneo, that is, the place where Heshun General Office Company and Lan Fangguo are.

The real large number of Chinese people went to Nanyang after the Opium War opened the country, so the most difficult thing for Wang Kun now is not money and technology, but people!

What Wang Kun needs most now is a large number of Chinese, and for now, Wang Kun wants to form an armed force of 100 people. There are not enough people to recruit, and at this time, there are more than 100,000 Chinese in Heshun Head Office and Lanfang.

But these people rely on various forces to survive, so as long as the reputation of the Shilongmen gold mining area comes together, Wang Kun is sure to develop rapidly. But it will take a while, and when the gold is mined, it will surely flock to it by then.

After a difficult six-hour trek, we finally reached our destination, a place full of gold underground. Wang Kun still knows a lot about this place, which was developed into a tourist place in Malaysia in later generations. Specifically to attract tourists from Chinese mainland, and the flow is still very good, so in order to attract more tourists. The local government not only gave a detailed introduction and explanation board, but also restored some of the statues at that time.

Therefore, when you arrive in the local area, you only need to read through the words on those signs, and you can basically understand the general situation at that time.

So now the land under his feet, Wang Kun can be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar. The reason for the strangeness is that in later generations it was a large lake formed by the gold rush and the gold mining pits left behind.

However, after arriving at this place, Wang Kun asked them to take a simple break and eat something, and then began to exploit them again.

However, it is not that they will start panning for gold now, but that they will cut down trees and build a row of houses that can live in more than 100 people.

Then Wang Kun selected 32 young people out of the 80-odd Chinese and organized them to prepare for their training.

Wang Kun gathered the thirty-two people in front of the newly built house and said, "You may be curious, what am I going to call you people here for?" ”

Wang Kun originally thought that they would respond a little, but the people below just looked at him numbly. Wang Kun was also speechless, this was a matter related to their own interests, and they still looked indifferent.

Since this is the case, Wang Kun is no longer talking nonsense, and said directly: "I gathered you together to set up a mine protection arm, and you don't have to work in the mine." You'll have to go through some of the necessary training, but don't worry, you'll be paid for it. ”

However, they still didn't react much, Wang Kun was really speechless, it seemed that he had to directly conduct military training on them.

What Wang Kun didn't know was that these people were desperate in their hearts now, this person was really coercing us to be robbers!
