Wu Yi rushed to Jianling City with three thousand Tengjia soldiers and several captured Yizhou Army officers, and Hu Li used a letter eagle to Zhu Rongli to let her return to the Nanhu tribe settlement alone, and at the same time Hu Li sent a Nanhu tribe elder to take Zhu Rongli's place. Although it is okay to let the old Nanhu tribe guard the settlement, seeing that the number of troops in the settlement has reached nearly 70,000, the Han army is more than 20,000, and the barbarian army is more than 40,000, Hu Li feels that it is more reassuring to recall the strong Zhu Rongli.

Zhu Rong had just left, and he should be able to return in a few hours, so Hu Li ordered to gather 10,000 vine armor troops and rush to Jianling City with him. Because Wu Yi led the 3,000 Tengjia army as the vanguard, Hu Li and the others did not rush to Jianling City, but rushed to the Yong family settlement in the south of Jianling City with the captives of the 1,000 Yong family and the corpse of Yonghong who had been embalmed.

A few days later, Hu Li and the others came to the settlement of the Yong family, and the Yong family did not expect that the more than 30,000 well-equipped defenders of Jianling City, which they had invited with a lot of money, combined with more than 50,000 soldiers from the two tribes of Meng Shu and Mulu Dawang, a total of nearly 90,000 troops, were actually defeated by the Nanhu tribe, and they were defeated so completely.

The Yong family learned the incredible news after stopping several of the rout troops in Jianling City. Although they hoped that this was not true, the defeat of Jianling City was conclusive evidence. More than an hour later, the panicked Yong family began to drag their families to Chengdu, Shu County, leaving only a few elderly stewards and 20,000 gold.

Among them, 10,000 gold was to redeem Yonghong's body, which was buried in the nearby ancestral tomb of the Yong family by several elderly stewards after the redemption. The other 10,000 gold was not used to ransom the captives, but to make amends for the sins of the Nanhu tribe. The 20,000 gold is already most of the Yong's family's savings in the past few hundred years, after all, the Yong's land and real estate in Yizhou County have to be given up, and the bulk of Yong's property is on these land and real estate that cannot be taken away.

The Yong clan knew that the Nanhu tribe would definitely capture Jianling City, which had become an empty city, and even other cities in Yizhou County, which was also short of soldiers and major generals, would become targets of the Nanhu tribe at any time. Because after the Nanhu tribe digests the nearly 70,000 surrendered troops, the strength will reach nearly 100,000, and the strength of the entire Yizhou County is less than 40,000, and most of them have low combat effectiveness.

The Yong clan now did not dare to stay in Yizhou County and the surrounding counties of Yizhou County, they felt that only Chengdu, the largest city in Yizhou, could give them a sense of security. For the Yong clan, who had dragged their families all the way to the north, if they were reluctant to pay 20,000 gold, the Nanhu tribe would definitely send an army to hunt them down. When the time comes, they will not be able to keep even the last bit of savings, and they will only lose their personal wealth, and the worst result may even be exterminated.

Therefore, when Hu Li led 10,000 vine armor troops to find trouble with the Yong family, the Yong family had already gone to the empty building, leaving only a few elderly stewards and 20,000 gold. After communicating with the trembling Yong stewards, Hu Li learned what happened. Although this battle was completely caused by Yong's greed, and Hu Li hated Yong's very much, but now Yong's posture has been put very low, and Yonghong, as the culprit, has also been killed by Zhu Rongli, and Hu Li's anger has almost disappeared.

In order not to leave the Han people in Yizhou County with the brutal and barbaric image of the Nanhu tribe, Hu Li accepted 20,000 gold and returned Yonghong's body to the elderly stewards. Anyway, the Yong family's property has shrunk by half, and there are only a few hundred people in the north, and most of them are women, children, and the old and weak, so there is no threat to the Nanhu tribe at all, and Hu Li doesn't want to do things too much.

After all, the Yong family, as a family rooted in Yizhou for hundreds of years, has a relationship and popularity in Yizhou that should not be underestimated, Hu Lizhi in the entire Yizhou, of course, will not set up too many enemies for himself because of the Yong family, which is already destined to decline, in Yizhou, a very xenophobic territory, making too many enemies is undoubtedly increasing the difficulty for himself to seize Yizhou.

After learning through Xinying that Wu Yi had taken control of the entire Jianling City, Hu Li, in order not to cause panic among the Han people in Jianling City, stationed 10,000 Tengjia troops in the settlement vacated after the migration of the Yong clan, and the original fertile land of the Yong clan was distributed to the surrounding poor people by Hu Li according to the head. This move immediately won the gratitude of the poor people, who felt that the 10,000 vine armor army brought by Hu Li was not so terrible.

After the Tengjia army was settled, Hu Li entered Jianling City and saw that Wu Yi was sending people to post a list to reassure the people and maintain law and order, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Hu Li couldn't help but nodded.

A month later, the Nanhu tribe and the tribes of Meng Huo and Mulu Dawang all moved to or around Jianlingcheng, where Hu Li implemented the policy of adapting measures to local conditions and formed a joint law enforcement team of Han Chinese and ethnic minorities. Hu Li served as the captain, Wu Yi and Wu Tugu served as deputy captains, and the law enforcement team handled disputes between Han Chinese and ethnic minorities impartially and strictly in accordance with the regulations established by Hu Li.

At the same time, Hu Li also vigorously popularized the Chinese language among ethnic minorities, and after the ethnic minorities mastered the Chinese language, they were able to communicate effectively with the Han people, and there were many fewer disputes caused by different customs and habits between some ethnic groups, and the relationship between the Han and the ethnic minorities gradually became harmonious. Ethnic minorities also gradually learned to farm with the help of the Han Chinese, and everything in Jianling City is thriving and flourishing.

Hu Li did not attack other cities in Yizhou County, he didn't want to fight with the Yizhou forces now, Hu Li funded the repair of the road leading to the jungle in Jianling City, and then nearly 100,000 troops were mixed into 100,000 troops to take turns into the primeval jungle. On the one hand, it can take advantage of the harsh living environment of the primeval jungle for military training, and on the other hand, it can also develop the resource-rich primeval jungle.

Hu Li also strongly advocated that the people follow the army into the jungle, and that only part of the supplies obtained in the jungle should be handed over to the army, and the army would be responsible for providing protection for the people, as long as they were not too far away from the army, there would be no danger. Seeing that the safety of their lives could be guaranteed, the people took advantage of the slack time to go into the jungle to pan for gold, and basically all the people could gain something, which further aroused the enthusiasm of the people to assist the army in developing the jungle.

After the surrounding cities saw that the Nanhu tribe occupying Jianling City did not pose any threat to them, the people's hearts gradually settled down, and under Hu Li's strong advocacy, the surrounding cities began to trade with Jianling City. There are also some poor people who see that the life of the people in Jianling City is becoming more and more nourishing, and they all ask to settle in Jianling City, and Hu Li of course does not refuse to come.

After registering these people, Hu Li sent people to help them build houses for free, distribute farm tools and seeds for free, and divide the fertile land according to the capitation. Although the other cities in Yizhou County were dissatisfied with this, they were afraid of the strong military strength of Jianling City, so they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and held this breath in their hearts.
