The Japanese who discovered the gold sand were found by Zhou Quanling Gao Ya and Ishibashi from Japan, and it is said that they are very good at exploring gold and silver veins in Japan, with a total of four families and eleven people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Quan sent Li Bao to beg for it, precisely because among all the array teenagers, there is no doubt that Li Bao is the first in terms of loyalty. Even Ye Chu can't compare to him.

There is a huge gold mine in Liuqiu, and now it is a borderland, if someone else comes, he may be greedy and want to take this gold mine. It is extremely unlikely that Li Bao will do this kind of thing, and Zhou Quan still remembers that when the Zhou family encountered difficulties, Li Bao took out the little money he had.

What's more, the two participated in the war together and rescued each other many times, which was really a fateful friendship.

"What about the Japanese?" Zhou Quan asked in a low voice.

Li Bao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he made a gesture: "It's all locked up, because I'm afraid that Da Lang will still use them, so I keep it, or not?" ”

"No, if that's the case, who will find the mine for me next time?" Zhou Quan laughed twice.

These Japanese are good at going over mountains and mountains to find gold mines, as long as they control their families, where can they find such good coolies?

"It's still a little troublesome, over there are a few natives on the side of the gold mine, although they have no armor, but some of them are broken copper and iron, and the natives are familiar with geography. Deep in the mountains, we can't stay for a long time, so it's extremely troublesome. ”

Li Bao began to explain in detail the difficulties he encountered, and the flow of indigenous origins was quite mixed, and now it is still a tribal system, many tribes, and even retain the custom of cannibalism. When the first stronghold was established, they watched from the sidelines, and after realizing that the outnumbered people were overwhelming, they came to attack several times, causing considerable losses to the stronghold.

After Li Bao brought 500 people here, the offensive and defensive momentum reversed, but these people found that they could not fight, so they turned around and fled into the mountains. Li Bao led people to suppress them a few times, but he only drove them out within a radius of about thirty miles around the stronghold.

But when the team escorts the prospectors around, there will be an ambush by the natives. In the process, a small group of men and horses were broken, Li Bao was furious, set a few fires, burned down dozens of miles of mountains, and slaughtered two villages, and piled all the heads of the people in the place where the team of men and horses were attacked as sacrifices, and since then, this kind of small-scale attack has been better.

But only around the base.

"Do any natives take refuge on your side?" Hearing Li Bao talk about the difficulties he encountered, Zhou Quan thought for a while, and then asked.

"Yes, we used cloth, iron farming tools, porcelain, and glass, but we were connected to an indigenous village in the southwest, and they reported the natives who attacked our team last time."

On the contrary, because of the low level of productivity of the native people, in order to compete for hunting farmland, there are feuds between many villages. Zhou Quan told Li Baolai before he told him that those natives who are mainly agricultural, can think of ways to solicit them, and those who have the habit of cannibalism should be suppressed.

Like the stockade in the southwest of the stronghold, where they live is at the mouth of a river, only more than 30 miles away from the stronghold, at the beginning of the stronghold people were still wary, and later Li Bao ordered them to give them some cotton cloth and porcelain, but the other party returned some venison deerskin, the two sides started with small gifts, and the relationship gradually eased.

"Then the village had a conflict with another tribe of natives, and we helped him, and they were willing to help us." When Li Bao said this, he also smiled deliberately: "It was ordered by Da Lang, there is no conflict, so he will create a conflict for them!" ”

Zhou Quan knew very well that in the case of insufficient manpower, it was necessary to divide and conquer the natives. Therefore, in his strategy for explaining Li Bao, he said that he would take advantage of the contradictions between the natives and create contradictions if there were no contradictions between them. Now it seems that it worked well.

Li Bao is not a smart person, so the methods he uses are simple, but the simple ones often work. Now, within a radius of two hundred miles, all the indigenous tribes have chosen sides, either standing with the Donghai Chamber of Commerce or standing with cannibals.

After Zhou Quan heard his situation, he pondered for a while, and then said: "You let the tribes that are friendly with us come forward and invite all the indigenous chiefs for a while, we don't have time to talk to them, we have to deal with them quickly!" ”

"All?"

"Yes, everything you can get in touch with, tell them that you can bring your subordinates, the more the better, and you can choose a suitable meeting place."

"I'm afraid they may not come."

"Give this to them, they will come!" Zhou Quan said as he pointed to the goods being unloaded behind him.

Li Bao looked back and saw that the big box was filled with a glass bottle, but the contents of the bottle were completely transparent, similar to clear water.

"What is this?"

"Wine!"

As early as the end of last year, Zhou Quan and Tong Guan's grandson Tong gradually reached an agreement to join forces to make wine. After the initial exploration, the strong liquor made from sorghum was finally brewed, and even the alcohol was made by Zhou Quan.

However, due to the small production in the beginning, it was not widely used, and until now, the production of sake is still limited. It is said that Tong Guan is planting sorghum in the enclosure of Hexi, which is specially used to make wine.

Li Bao took a bottle, opened the cap, and a strong aroma of wine suddenly hit his nose, making him almost sneeze. He could drink some wine, but after tasting it only slightly, he was surprised and said, "This wine is so strong!" ”

"It's called Burning Knife." Zhou Quan laughed.

"In that case, I will summon a few tribes that are close to us!" Li Baodao.

Bazai is the head of a nearby stockade.

"Those who come by boat, want to talk to us, so what's there to talk about?" Looking at the other native in front of him, he asked in surprise.

"The boatmen said they were willing to make peace with us, and they would discuss the division of their respective territories."

"They are outsiders, so I will not live in peace with them, I will drive them away and take everything from them!"

In front of Bazai, it was the natives sent by Li Bao to inform him, and when he heard Bazai's words, he smiled: "Bazaitou people, they have gifts." ”

"Gifts?"

The native presented a bottle, and the transparent glass bottle made Bazai's eyes light up: "This is the treasure that the boat man brought from the other side of the sea?" I've heard my grandfather say that they used to go on a raft to the other side of the sea, and that time they robbed a lot of things! ”

The Shengfan tribe where Bazai is located, it is recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty, called the evil country of Visha, in the Chunxi period, once took a raft to arrive at Quanzhou Shuiwo, Weitou villages, and fled after looting. At that time, they snatched the door knocker and spoon as if they had found treasures, and now when they saw the glass bottle in front of them, they saw the light of greed.

"Bazaitou, you can taste it." The native smacked his lips as he spoke.

Bazai wouldn't open the bottle, so he stuck out his tongue and licked it, but it didn't taste at all.

"Phew, what the hell is this, it almost knocked my teeth!"

The natives who delivered the message smiled, and a sense of superiority suddenly arose in their hearts.

He stepped forward to take the bottle, unscrewed the cork, and suddenly a strange aroma of wine filled the surroundings.

Bazai was overjoyed when he smelled the wine.

These natives also have their own fruit wine, but where can it compare to the mellow alcohol of burning knives, and after grabbing the bottle, he poured it wildly when he put it in his mouth.

took a big sip, and the burning sensation that choked people directly made Bazai cough, and the wine spurted out of his throat and nostrils.

"Poison, poison!" He shouted.

"It's not poison, it's that you drank too quickly!" The natives who delivered the letter were immediately anxious when they saw that all the people around them were surrounded.

The hot choking slowed down slightly, Bazai was stunned for a while, and felt that it was indeed not poisonous, he looked at the messenger and smiled: "It's not poison...... Hey, how do you have three heads? ”

"I only have one head!" The natives who sent the letter were no strangers to his reaction.

In fact, just two days ago, the natives themselves had been drunk with a glass of wine, and now Bazai drank at least as much as he had drunk three glasses of wine that day.

When Bazai heard this, he was furious and shouted, "Three heads, you have three, three...... Three heads! ”

But it was the drunkenness that made his eyes dizzy, so he pulled out the knife from his waist and shouted, "There are too many heads, I'll help you...... Cut two for you! ”

The natives who delivered the letter were so frightened that they were not very good at dealing with each other, and this time they came to be more or less drunk, but at this time the wine was gone, and he had no courage, so he turned around and was about to run.

But when Bazai saw him, he brought a lot of clansmen with him, and suddenly some clansmen came up and caught him.

"You—how did you grow so many heads...... I cut it for you all, cut it down...... Yours first! Bazai staggered, and when he reached the messenger, he raised his sword high.

The messenger screamed in fright, but just as Bazai's knife was about to fall, he saw that his eyes were straight, and then the knife fell from his hand, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Bazai's people were shocked and went to look, but they heard the sound of snoring like thunder, and the smell of wine was smoking!

Bazai was drunk for a day and a night, and when he woke up, the native who delivered the letter was already blue and swollen.

Around Bazai, there are still several people lying down, all of them are tempted by the smell of wine, and they can't help but drink, and now they are dreaming there one by one.

Ba Zai smacked his lips, recalled what happened when he was drunk, and then jumped: "Good wine!" ”

The feeling of being drunk and fluttering made him reminisce. He used to be good at wine, but now he finds that the beauty of this wine is far better than any one he has drunk before, where is not a red heartbeat!

"Boat people, they still have such wine?"

"Yes, there are a lot of them, they said, as long as you go to the talks, you can drink as much as you can!" The Native Messenger said.

Bazai's eyes are greedy, and he can drink as much as he can, which means that those boatmen still have a lot of wine in their hands. He knew very well that there were a lot of good things for the boatmen, and their tribe had robbed them more than once before, but the boatmen were all covered with iron, so they had very few things in their hands.

This time......

"Can I bring someone with me?" He asked with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Of course, you can bring as many people as you want!" (To be continued.) )
