It was the platoon that Wan An had left behind on the island of Mahe, and they sent men and boats to search for it, and finally found the huge harbor trading city of Mukudushu. And when they entered the city, the battle flag with the word "Ming" hanging high in the concession made them approach without hesitation.

"Sir!" The soldier threw himself at Ding's feet, crying like a child. They had a hard time in the Seychelles, and although there was no problem of dampness in ammunition, Wan An's departure left them with enough ammunition and provisions, and the indigenous temptation and encroachment did not bother them too much. But the harsh climate and pristine rainforests here can cause diseases that can kill people faster than the bones of the natives; The beasts of the rainforest are far more unguarded than the natives - they do not exchange porcelain or cotton.

But they persevered: "Since four months ago, there has been no further attrition, and there are twenty-five people in our department, and two indigenous tribes of about 100 people have been incorporated for drive!" It's just that on the Chinese side, there is still no Mediterranean fleet; The task force didn't look back...... Fortunately, I am looking for Mr., otherwise, I really don't know how to be good...... "There is a limit to persistence, and there is a specialization in the art industry, they are naturally much stronger than Li Laohan, but to do the same as Li Laohan, decades of perseverance, it is not a problem that can be solved with good skills," ...... Lao Wang, the third class, went to the shore camp the night before yesterday, and wanted to die, but fortunately it was a dud...... "Despair will make people prefer to die, not everyone can be Robinson."

"Guo Jin arranged to send two veterans. With a platoon of black lightning, the defense of Mahe Island was changed, and there were twenty-five people originally stationed. Leave the three there, and you'll bring the others back. If the wind and waves are not strong, change the guard every two months, and if there are too many wind and waves, you can only change the guard once every three months. "Even if Ding Yidang told Guo Jin like this, because of the great power of nature, Ding Yi really can't have the final say, and everything is fake when the waves are together.

As for the black lightning. It's the black teenagers who have been training for more than half a year.

"Yes, sir!" Guo Jin saluted and went down to make arrangements.

Ding Yi said to the soldier who came from Mahe Island: "Rest first. Restore your body, and then take Guo Jin and them back to change their guards. Unexpectedly, the soldier said that he could hold on, and that it was best to go back now and tell everyone the news that Ding Yi was alive. Ding Yi thought for a moment. I nodded in agreement.

Because there is also a sea boat on Mahe. It was the supply ship that Wan An left for them, and the sailors drove this boat and carried the soldiers of this squad out to look for Ding Yi, but in fact, the other soldiers on Mahe Island were resigned to fate. In case the supply ship sank, and the Ming fleet did not come, then they would have to die of old age on Mahe Island.

It was a very lonely and sad feeling, because this soldier had gone out to look for Ding Shi before, and he had also experienced such days on the island of Mahe. That's why he wanted to go back quickly and bring the news to everyone. It also allows everyone to see a little ray of hope in the blank waiting.

But in fact, it took a long time to make the trip, because at this time, the sea breeze was not right, and the sailboat had no choice, and by the time Guo Jin took over the left-behind personnel on Mahe Island, it was already spring. Emperor Jing didn't understand this, what did he do with the small island in the sea and send troops to defend it?

"You don't know what that place means to a seafaring vessel." Ding Yi smiled, and didn't tell Emperor Jing more about this, if the next step went well, he was still going to make Mahe Island a simple fortification. When entering the Age of Discovery, after the ships of Western Europe bypassed the Cape of Good Hope, it was definitely an important port if they took shelter from the wind or supplies on Mahe.

And when the soldiers who stayed on Mahe Island arrived, the Ming Concession, which was bound by wooden bones, had begun to flourish.

Once again, Ding Yi recruited black teenagers from the Rainforest tribe.

This time, it was mainly the more than 200 black teenagers who conquered seven or eight tribes around the Mugu Capital. The rainforest is their home, and some of the rainforest subjects taught by Guo Jin make these teenagers like ghosts in the rainforest; Although their squad was not very skilled in tactics, Ding Yi equipped them with basic chain mail, shields, metal-bladed spears, and scimitars, as well as archers' clusters of arrows.

For the rainforest tribes who still used arrows, stone axes, and wooden spears sharpened from animal bones, it was already the Iron Age and the Stone Age—and a Bronze Age in between—warfare; What's more, they also have Professor Ding Yi's squad tactics. It did not take much effort to conquer these tribes, because of the army of more than two hundred black teenagers, in addition to dozens of minor wounded, only two were seriously wounded and one died. This result led to another result that Ding Yi did not expect, that is, in the Rainforest tribe, he was once again deified.

And this overwhelming result makes it impossible to integrate the tribes, because the black lightning represents the absolute strong, and it is a matter of course for the law of the jungle to follow and obey the strong. So these more than 200 black lightning bolts brought back nearly 500 black teenagers, if it weren't for Ding Yi's statement, all tattoos would not be accepted, I'm afraid there are more people who are willing to follow.

It costs money to train soldiers, especially soldiers who are completely off duty and do not work.

Although Ding Yi has some savings, it is for his original twenty-three people, and now, it is more than 700 young people's mouths, the so-called half of the guys eat the mouths of poor fathers.

Therefore, even if those six shops secretly transported some property, Ding Yi's savings were consumed at an extremely fast rate.

"The next five hundred people haven't been armed yet." Morena's face was a little unsightly, and all the people who helped Ding Yi take care of the accounts seemed to have a headache for such a question, "After the training is completed, you can't let them still use wooden guns, right?" Now the two hundred men in front of us, each with two sets of uniforms, have exhausted all the cotton cloth we have saved, and we have not yet settled the bill for a batch of homespun cloth in the city, and if we do, we will have no money...... His Royal Highness the Duke ......"

Ding laughed: "Don't worry. ”

But in fact, Ding Yi will not turn stones into gold. At that time, in China, he could also burn cement, glass, make mirrors, and sell arms...... And there is also Liu Yiyi taking care of a qiē, and the goods are connected to the north and south. Mo Rena is not Liu Yiyi, there are not so many business wizards in the world, under the teaching of Ding Yi, it took several months to learn to keep accounts, and now the addition and subtraction of three digits is still unable to mentally calculate the need for columns.

"Guo Jin, send someone to invite the White Winged Dragon, Hassan, and Saleh over." Ding Yi ordered this, Guo Jin was a little worried, because he was worried that Ding Yi would ask these people for money and things, but based on his blind obedience to Ding Yi, he still immediately went down and sent someone to do it.

Asking these three people for money and goods is not a long-term solution, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Guo Jin feared that this would make Hassan and Saleh discover that the Dingyi concession had been turned into a barracks and that they were preparing to train 700 soldiers. You must know that such a huge city with wooden bones is only a standing city defense army of less than 10,000 people. If it is discovered that Ding Yi has nearly 1,000 troops who are all trained on a full-time basis, will Hassan and Saleh be vigilant because of this, and what measures will they take?

But in fact, he was too worried, Ding Yi did not plan to ask Hassan and Saleh for money, and he did not even plan to open his mouth to the White Wing Dragon. Ding Yi said to the three of them: "The people in the concession have all moved away, I can't ask you to forcibly ask the local people to live in, so I have subdued some natives and let them live in the concession, this is no problem, right?" ”

Now Ding Yi actually doesn't need a translator at all, but he still speaks Daming's official dialect and teaches Mo Rena to translate on the side.

"Of course, Ding, don't worry, you are our friend, no one will dare to bully you, in the concession, someone has committed a crime, according to the law of the Ming Kingdom...... If someone commits adultery, he will not be stoned, but will be put in a cage and immersed to death according to the custom of the Ming Kingdom. Hassan immediately responded, he spread his hands, "But the in the concession, go out to work, go out of the concession, commit crimes, and are caught, except for the two hundred or so people who have reported on your side, the rest will have to be judged according to the law of the wood and bones." ”

When Ding Yi recruited black teenagers for the first time, Hassan and Saleh discovered this problem very sharply and asked Ding Yi to report the number of people in the concession who belonged to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Ding Yi wanted to report 1,000 people, but Mu Gudushu disagreed, saying that there were only more than 20 people, and if there was a boat to fall, it would be fine, and now there is no boat, how can it be said that there are 1,000 people?

So Guo Jin argued with them, and in the past 200 years, in the name of Ding Yi and more than 20 of them, each of whom had ten slaves, they were also the people of the Ming Kingdom. But the latter 500 people obviously cannot follow such an example. As for how to tell if it is a Ming person? Except for Ding Yi and the more than 20 obvious yellow characteristics, not to mention, the black people mainly look at the clothes, the more than 200 teenagers in the first batch of black lightning are all wearing white cotton military uniforms, and the black people in the city are basically not covered by clothes, let alone shoes.

"This is nature." Ding Yi didn't argue with Hassan about this issue, but just smiled and said to them, "I have to find a livelihood for them, otherwise they will leave the concession, and no one will be willing to invite them, so I want to open a gambling stall in the concession, teach these natives, and be an errand in the gambling stall, what do you think?" ”

Saleh laughed: "Why do you think it's a big deal, Ding, you just let it go, we will definitely come to cheer!" ”

Qinglou and gambling stalls, this kind of most primitive thing, even if there is no one on the surface, the wood bones are bound in private, for them, they feel that a gambling stall is not a big deal, and it is not even worth it for Ding Yi to send someone to invite them over.

But they didn't know that what Ding Yi wanted to do was not a gambling stall.

What Ding Yi wants to do is the gambling industry. (To be continued......)
