With this order from Lin Bei, the Dragon God Army showed its sharp fangs, this was an extremely cruel war, but for the natives.

The scientific and technological level of the steamship is more than a thousand years ahead of this era, and Lin Bei is still set by the standards of the Han Dynasty, if compared with the natives, there are more leading years, and the natives cannot be compared at all.

The Dragon God Army can use the mobility of steamships to advance and retreat on the Mekong River freely, and the natives can't fight or escape, which is a nightmare for these natives.

And most of the indigenous people are not familiar with the military, their camps are built in the forest, it is simply a natural place to be attacked by fire, such as today's dry things, as long as it causes a fire, it cannot be extinguished at all, in this case, is there any doubt about the victory of the Dragon God Army? The only side effect of the fire attack was that the number of captives captured was greatly reduced, and it made the natives extremely hostile to the Dragon God Army.

In late November, Cui Lan led 300 military ships to attack the indigenous Lisha tribe more than 700 miles upstream of Linjiang City, and only captured 400 aborigines, and the fire burned for three days, and more than 150 miles around the Lisha tribe were in ruins.

Near December, the Vigo tribe, one of the top 10 indigenous tribes, with a total of more than 20,000 indigenous people, was found by soldiers in a tributary of the upper Mekong River, 900 miles upstream, and on the same day, the Vigo tribe was broken and nearly 1,000 aborigines were captured, and the rest were killed, and the Vigo tribe was also reduced to ashes.

At the beginning of December, more than 1,300 miles of the Mekong River, also a tributary, a large mountain tribe of more than 3,000 people was broken and more than 100 indigenous people were captured.

Subsequently, Lin Bei asked Cui Lan to patrol forward another 1,000 miles, to cripple the natives before they could react, and Cui Lan happily went.

In mid-December, Cuilan continued up the river. Five more tribes were defeated, adding up to eight tribes of the natives, the death toll of the natives was nearly 100,000, and the number of captives combined exceeded 10,000, and at this time, the war against the natives was stopped. Because the front is too long, and the natives have finally gotten the news.

In less than a month, the Dragon God Army broke through eight tribes, the mighty Mekong River more than 2,000 miles of river sections, and dozens of its tributaries, this campaign, but also determined the Dragon God Army's supremacy in the Mekong River.

The indigenous peoples finally reflected and began to move their tribes deeper into the forest instead of living along the water. Obviously, it is to avoid the edge of the Dragon God Army, because the Dragon God Army is too ruthless.

All eight tribes were breached by rockets, thousands of miles of dense forests were burned, millions of plants and animals were burned to death, and the dense forests around the Mekong River were almost completely devastated, and it would take at least a few decades to fully recover.

The tragedy of this month will be remembered by the natives for a long, long time, and the natives regard the dragon god army like a tiger and a wolf. Hearing the name of the Dragon Divine Army, the color changed, and it reached the deterrent power that can make children stop crying.

Huang Chengyan also said at this moment: "My lord. It is no longer possible to go any further, now that the natives have moved to the forests and dug caves, it is no longer feasible to attack them by fire, and the battle line is too long, so it is difficult to replenish them. Now we should strengthen our ground first. ”

Lin Bei also thought so, so he temporarily stopped the war.

Although the number of prisoners was very small, the harvest of Wanghai City was still quite large, and the Dragon God Army had almost no casualties, and its vitality was still sufficient. In addition, although the forest and the camp of the indigenous people have been burned, but the mines cannot be burned, there is an iron mine in Linjiang City, there is also a large mine in the Haka tribe, and the eight tribes behind add up to five ore veins, one of which is still a jade mine, which is a great wealth.

Iron ore veins not to mention for the time being, the storage of jade mines is quite large, there are not many gambling stones around Myanmar in later generations, it is from these jade mines, what old pit glass species in later generations, imperial jade can be mined in jade mines, if it is in modern times, the dragon god army can be rich just by occupying this jade mine, but in this era, the role of jade mines is not as good as iron ore, Lin Bei collected some jade and put it up, and after playing for a few days, he was not interested.

On this day, Lin Bei took Huang Chengyan and Cui Lan back to Wanghai City, ready to discuss with Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi how to deal with these newly conquered territories.

As soon as Lin Bei arrived at the city gate, countless ordinary people had spontaneously come to the city gate to greet them, and when they saw Lin Bei coming, these people all knelt on the ground and shouted Long live Lord Longshen, long live Longshen Army.

An old man came lying on his stomach, holding a roasted suckling sheep in his hand, offering it to Lin Bei, and someone else also offered the food to Cui Lan, these are all voluntary by the common people, the Dragon God Army has shown its might this month, and the common people all have a strong sense of pride, and they all worship the dragon god and Cui Lan, the commander, from the bottom of their hearts.

After eating these delicacies all the way, after Lin Bei arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, his stomach was bulging, Cui Lan and Huang Chengyan were similar, and for the first time, the two felt that these delicious foods were so difficult to swallow, and people were too enthusiastic.

When she entered the City Lord's Mansion, Cui Lan felt palpitations, touched her stomach and smiled bitterly: "My lord, I can't walk anymore."

"My lord, the old man is the same, can you issue a strict order next time, strictly prohibiting the common people from serving food?"

Lin Bei laughed, and then snorted: "This kind of thing can't be strictly ordered, the common people like you to do this, if they don't like you, then it's not meat to eat, but to hit you with stones."

Cui Lan and Huang Chengyan were speechless, and Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi saw this kind of scene when they came.

When he arrived at the mansion and sat down, he only asked the attendants to bring drinking water, and after drinking a little to ease his breath first, Lin Bei threw out the question of how to build.

"My lord, let's build the city, only by building a big city and sending troops to garrison can these sections of the river be completely brought under the rule, and now the forests around the Mekong River are mostly burned, and it is very convenient to repair the city and build roads."

"How many cities do you need to build?"

"Build one in the land of the original Haka tribe, and build another one in the four hundred miles above it, these places have iron mines, so they must not be abandoned, and in this way, it is almost the same to build four cities."

"Four?" Lin Bei frowned: "If you build four more cities, then add the two cities of Wanghai and Linjiang, it will already be six cities, and my Wanghai is now only more than 50,000 people, and the standing soldiers are only 5,000, so wouldn't it be too scattered." ”

"What about the meaning of the adults?" Huang Chengyan asked.

Lin Bei smiled bitterly: "Actually, it is indeed more appropriate to repair the four cities, there is a city every four hundred miles, but I have too few people in Wanghai, this is a hard injury." ”

Everyone nodded, it is true, if you want to build the four cities and assign people down, the population of each city will become quite small, less than 10,000, it is estimated that it is difficult to maintain the daily life of a city, in addition, don't forget that there are 10,000 natives, in addition to the previous 6,000 natives, the newly captured 4,000 natives hate the Wanghai people like bones, and the probability of these people making trouble is quite large, just guarding these people will need a lot of sergeants.

Huang Chengyan thought for a while, and said tentatively: "My lord, my Huang family is also a famous family in the land of Jingxiang, and now my Huang family has about more than 2,000 people, if the adults agree, I will go back to Xiangyang and move my Huang family to merge under the command of adults." ”

Huang Chengyan is ready to completely take refuge in Lin Bei, and does not leave a way out, because during this time Huang Chengyan is indeed convinced by Lin Bei, the most important thing is that Wanghai City is now short of people, Huang Chengyan plans so, as long as the Huang family comes, even if only one of the ten people can be reused, the Huang family can quickly spread in Wanghai City, this kind of opportunity Huang Chengyan will be a fool if he will let it go.

Lin Bei groaned and said, "What about Yueying? Not yet yet? ”

"It should be on its way." Huang Chengyan didn't know the situation either, so he could only guess.

"Your Huang family is a famous family in Jingxiang, you should have a lot of talents, right?" Lin Bei asked.

Huang Chengyan said: "The old man is ashamed, now my Huang family is becoming more and more fragmented, and there are only a handful of people who can be called good talents."

"That's a lot of losers?" Lin Bei cut off Huang Chengyan's words.

Put on airs? Huang Chengyan probably understood what Lin Bei meant, and said with a wry smile: "There are indeed many clansmen who don't want to make progress, and they only know pleasure all day long. ”

"Okay, when Yueying comes, Huang Gong, you will go back to Xiangyang, send some clansmen to me to look at the sea, Huang Gong, you will stay in Xiangyang, and help Lord Ben lobby the students of the Confucian Academy to recruit talents."

Bian Ji's face moved, but he didn't speak.

Huang Chengyan was overjoyed: "No, the old man must do his best to lobby more talents for adults." ”

Although it is obvious that Lin Bei has the intention of taking Huang Yueying as a hostage, Huang Chengyan is not annoyed at all, because this is normal, Huang Chengyan stays in Xiangyang, as long as he lobbied the students to Wanghai, then these students are likely to fall to the Huang family, at least they can have a love of incense, which is beneficial and harmless to the Huang family.

Lin Bei said again: "Lord Ben's prophet will tell you, if your Huang family is talented, Lord Ben will not hesitate to use it, if it is that arrogant and lascivious person, Huang Gong, you have to restrain Lord Ben, and don't put out the genealogy of the family in Wanghai City, Lord Ben can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes, if anyone violates the rules of Wanghai City, Huang Gong, don't blame Lord Ben's subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Jingxiang Huang family is a famous family, there must be many people with some talents, these people Lin Bei is going to use, but naturally he can't let the Huang family stir up Wanghai City into a miasma, but as long as the Huang family has such a person, Lin Bei will definitely not be soft.

Huang Chengyan's heart sank, and he remembered what Lin Bei said that the people are important and the king is light, Lin Bei is warning him, talents can be brought, and those who only know pleasure are better to stay in Xiangyang as a scourge, Huang Chengyan nodded at the moment, and said in a deep voice: "What the adult means, the old man understands." ”

"It's good to understand, I hope you really do." Lin Bei said earnestly: "I value Yueying and Huang Gong very much. The implication is that only Huang Yueying and Huang Chengyan are valued, and as for the other Huang family, they have to look at their appearance.

"With the Huang family, then there will be other families, the coming of these families will definitely have a certain impact on the structure of my Wanghai City, in this case, I can only guarantee that all the people under my rule will have the fairest starting point, those who have the ability will take the position, and those who are not able will spend their lives in peace and stability."
