"City Lord Liu, there are dead people everywhere in the village, you don't want us to help them collect their corpses, do you?" Cheng Huailiang said with some dissatisfaction. He was really afraid of the humid and hot weather in Borneo, so he was eager to leave immediately, so he was very dissatisfied with Liu Kata's request for them to go to the village again.

"Haha, General Cheng laughed, those corpses of the natives were naturally cleaned up by the beasts in the forest, as for why we went to the village again, it was because we were in a hurry to treat the wounded, and it was already dark, so it was not appropriate to stay in the bloody village for a long time, so some of the loot did not come and were taken away!" Liu Kata smiled very happily, and his eyes flashed with a little golden light.

"Spoils?" Hearing this sensitive word, Cheng Huailiang and his subordinates were all shocked, according to the regulations of the army, they can share thirty percent of all the spoils, and the rest need to be handed over, after all, after a war, the soldiers' weapons and armor will be greatly damaged, and there are also supplies, etc., all of which cost money, and the army should take the lion's share.

"City Lord Liu, are you mistaken, although the Dangu tribe is a big tribe nearby, it seems to be very poor, when we went in yesterday, except for some grain and fur, we didn't see anything of value at all!" As soon as Liu Kata's words fell, a team member behind Cheng Huailiang said with a smile.

"Yes, even those grains and furs were burned by us yesterday, not to mention that this thing is not worth much, and it is not worth our second trip." At this time, another team member also spoke.

"Hehe, you don't know, the Dangu tribe used to be the overlord of the neighborhood. Small and medium-sized tribes like our Kata tribe need to pay tribute to them. After so many years of accumulation, they have a very deep net worth. It's just that it's hard for outsiders to find! Liu Kata said with a smile, as the leader of the tribe, he naturally knew where the wealth of the Turen tribe was hidden.

While everyone was talking, they had come to the village of the Dangu tribe, but compared to yesterday, most of the entire village was now reduced to ashes, and some places that had not been burned were still emitting a few wisps of black smoke, and only a few houses that had not been affected were still standing on the ground.

As soon as they approached the village, Cheng Huailiang and the others all frowned. Because the village was originally full of corpses, coupled with the burning of the fire, the familiar smell of barbecue permeated, coupled with the stench of some internal organs, made people smell like retching.

Although the smell was terrible, Cheng Huailiang and the others were not ordinary people, so they still walked steadily into the village. Then he was led by Liu Kata, and soon arrived in front of the temple in the middle of the village.

Unlike other houses made of wood and thatch, this temple of the Dangu tribe is made of stone. Although they look very simple in Cheng Huailiang, they can be regarded as the highest level of construction of the Dangu tribe.

However, the size of the temple is actually very small, only a few steps in length and width, and there is only a stone altar inside. There was nothing on the altar except for sacrifices such as rice and animal meat.

"City Lord Liu, where is the loot you mentioned?" Cheng Huailiang followed Liu Kata into the temple. Then he walked around the altar in the middle, but found nothing.

Liu Kata walked to the altar with a smile on his face. Then he stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the stone on the altar, then raised his head and said to Cheng Huailiang and the soldiers behind him, "Everyone come to help." Tear down this altar, and the contents will definitely not disappoint everyone! ”

Hearing Liu Kata's words, Cheng Huailiang and the others suddenly woke up to the fact that the temple is the spiritual sustenance of the Turen tribe, and it is also the most important place in the entire tribe, and they put all their wealth under the altar as a way to show sacrifice to their god, which is naturally very normal.

When Cheng Huailiang and other officers and soldiers started together, when they used the long knives in their hands to sled open the stones on the surface of the altar, they soon found that there was a flash of golden light inside, and then a grain of naturally formed golden sand and colorful gems appeared in front of them, although those gems have not undergone any processing, but the transparent feeling can make people see at a glance that the quality of these gems must be very good.

"Haha~, I'm rich, I didn't expect such a tribe of thousands of people to hide so much gold and gems." Cheng Huailiang's eyes were glowing with gold, and he shouted with ecstasy. The reaction of the other soldiers was similar, and the value of those gems could not be estimated for the time being, but so much gold was piled together, at least one or two tons, I really don't know how the natives of the Dangu tribe collected it?

In fact, one or two tons of gold seems to be a lot, but because of the large proportion of gold, the volume is not very large, and it is probably larger than the ordinary computer chassis of later generations. Of course, the golden sand in front of Cheng Huailiang and them is not pure, and it is very loose, so the volume will be larger. In addition, looking at the appearance of these golden sands, the Dangu tribe is likely to have discovered a gold mine, but it is a pity that Cheng Huailiang and they killed people cleanly, otherwise they could have forced them to ask for the location of the gold mine.

When Cheng Huailiang transferred the gold and precious stones to the ship, and Liu Kata made a record, after returning, these gold and precious stones will be valued and sold by the troops, so that they can get their thirty percent, and then distributed by Cheng Huailiang, who is the chief officer.

In the afternoon of the same day, Cheng Huailiang took the ashes of the soldiers who died in the war with him, and then began to return home. Compared to the upriver they came, the return voyage was downstream, so it was very fast, even taking only half the time it came, and when they returned to Kata City, the other two squads were already waiting for them in the city.

Compared with Cheng Huailiang and their large army, the task of the two teams is easier, although they have fewer people, but the number of opponents is also less, and they are closer to Kata City, so they can complete the task earlier than Cheng Huailiang and them, and the casualties are not heavy, the number of dead in each team is only a dozen, and there are not many injuries, all within the bearable range.

Under the guidance of the guide, the other two teams also discovered the treasures of two small tribes, but the treasures of this small tribe naturally cannot be compared with the Dangu tribe, and can only be regarded as better than nothing.

Cheng Huailiang's unit is only one action team in this clean-up operation, and there are six or seven teams in the same batch as them, and Changqiao Island, as the headquarters of this operation, sent several batches of action teams in the follow-up, and the number of each batch is more than the first batch, and finally the cumulative number of more than 30 teams.

The number of these squads varies, but generally not too many, after all, when fighting in the jungle, it is difficult to show the advantage in numbers, so each unit is an elite squad. In addition, the tasks of these teams are not exactly the same, including Cheng Huailiang's extermination of the target tribe in order to deter other natives, some require all the natives to be captured as slaves for the nearby Han cities to drive, and there are also troops to threaten the tribe to make them surrender to the Qi Palace, etc., these missions have different goals, and they cannot make decisions due to local conditions.

However, although the goals are different, the ultimate goal of this clean-up operation remains the same, that is, to cleanse Borneo of the disobedient natives, remove all the unstable factors found, greatly improve the security of Borneo, and lay a solid foundation for the next step in Borneo.

And not only Borneo, but also the situation in Jinzhou is similar to Borneo, so after the end of the clean-up operation in Borneo, Cheng Huailiang and his action team did not rest, but immediately showed their fangs to Jinzhou, and it took several months to finally clear out the natives who did not obey the rule on the two large islands.

Speaking of which, the islands of the South Seas have been in the hands of Li Su for several years, and the reason why he suddenly made a move on Borneo and Jinzhou is that in addition to the need to collect intelligence from all aspects before, there is another very important reason, that is, after opening up the route to the Americas, the rubber trees and cocoa and other plants in the Americas are very suitable for planting in the South Seas, so the security of the islands in the South Seas is in front of Li Su.

It was also under the impetus of the start of the South Seas that Li Su made up his mind to launch this clean-up operation, cleaning up the two largest islands in the South Seas, making it difficult for the local natives to achieve any climate, and at the same time, the owners of the big plantations, who had already been hinted at, also rushed to Borneo or Jinzhou to buy land and prepare to start their own big plantations.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the bubonic plague in Java has finally come to an end, and the natives on the island have died of countless diseases, and some bold Han people have begun to land on the island, buying a large amount of land on the island at a price almost free of charge, and they are also preparing to start plantations, but because the number of local natives is too small, so these plantations are buying slaves on a large scale, among which the Kunlun slaves in Africa are the most popular, and there is also a relatively rare slave, that is, the white slaves are slowly increasing.

The so-called white slaves refer to Caucasian slaves, this kind of slaves have also appeared before, most of them are prisoners of war in some West Asian regions, and then they were ransomed and bought in the Tang Dynasty and its surroundings, such as the Roman ambassador Ciro, who became a prisoner of war after the great cannibal, and later came to Tibet, and at first he was also a slave, and later became the guard of Songtsen Gampo.

However, with the collision of Datang and Dashi, coupled with the signing of the four-nation alliance, the exchanges between the East and the West have suddenly become closer, of course, this can be regarded as a good thing in all aspects, in addition, the number of white slaves in Datang and Taiwan has also begun to increase, and Li Ke, who is sailing, has witnessed the source of these white slaves.
