Chapter 73

The guards were all masked, which made Tong Guan a little confused about the situation.

"No name, just asking for money." Lu Hui replied, indicating his intention in one sentence and interrupting Tong Guan's subsequent words of persuasion.

The two sides continued to be in a stalemate, and the injured guards began to help each other withdraw from the battlefield, and the seriously injured ones were also carried away.

Seeing this situation, Tong Guan immediately understood that he had just stepped out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den.

Those bandits before could be said to be a mob, but now this group of thieves are all elite.

Seeing how they were able to cooperate tacitly with each other when killing bandits, only being injured but not killed, you knew they were much stronger than their own guards.

Looking at my own side, there are only a dozen guards who can still fight, and even half of the entourage and messengers are gone. There are more than 60 thieves on the opposite side.

This time I couldn't even run away.

"If a hero only seeks wealth, can he spare the old man's life?" Tong Guan asked.

"Yes, but you must surrender without mercy." Lu Hui replied: "We only seek wealth, not bloodlust."

The living guards and attendants all looked at the ox cart, waiting for Tong Guan's order.

After fighting for more than an hour, they were all exhausted. Even those who were still standing were more or less injured, and they would definitely not be able to defeat them.

After more than ten breaths, all the wounded guards had been removed from the battlefield. Lu Hui was about to give the order to kill when the sound of surrender came from the bullock cart.

"Put down your weapons."

Ding-ding-ding-ding!Weapons were thrown on the official road.

Lu Hui ordered people to go up and tie up the captives. If the rope was not enough, he tore the clothes of the dead on the ground.

The coachman was taken out alone, and they still needed to drive the coach behind.

There was no time to open the ropes tied up on the cars and check them carefully, so I could only bring all thirty cars with them.

After another half an hour, two grain trucks were vacated, plus Tong Guan's cowshed truck, and all the wounded were allowed to board. Lu Hui and others set off again.

Tong Guan and dozens of others were tied up tightly and left in place.

As the former prime minister, Tong Guan was too famous to be killed, otherwise he would definitely cause big trouble.

Afterwards, if passing merchants arrive first, they will naturally be rescued.

But if the bandits return at this time, they can only blame themselves for being destined to be buried here.

……

March 28, Chenjiazhuang.

After handing the snow pigeon that delivered the letter back to the pigeon breeder, Chen Xun took the letter bucket and left the pigeon station.

It's a coincidence that I had nothing to do today. I came to the pigeon station to check on the condition of the snow pigeons, and then I received a letter from Lu Hui.

When I arrived at the information station, I took out the rolled letter paper from the letter bucket as thick as my little finger and unfolded it to look at it.

The letter recorded in detail the process of Lu Hui's robbery of the silver, and reported that the silver had been boarded and was returning to Guangzhou along the Shixing River.After preliminary statistics, the value of the silver is around 50 taels.

When the money comes back, Chenjiazhuang's urgent need will be solved.

Now Chenjiazhuang's industrial transfer has entered the second round. The entire Chenjiazhuang has restored its previous production and living order. Except for the reduction in the output of each workshop, everything else has entered the right track of development.The construction of the village wall on the north side has been completed, and only half of the work on the other three sides is left.Half of the prisoners who originally built the village wall were removed and crammed into various workshops to fill some unimportant positions that only required labor.

Ten days ago, Ke Lei also sent a message back. The vanguard of Chenjiazhuang immigrants had already set up camp in the territory of the Makadao tribe.Regarding Chenjiazhuang's immigration action, the Makadao people initially reacted indifferently, but as more and more people came to the island, the Makadao people also felt the real danger.

As a result, a wave of strong resistance followed.

Triton is already very experienced in this kind of resistance, having experienced it when developing in Southeast Asia in the past few years.

This kind of resistance will develop in a parabolic trend over time, that is, from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak, until both parties can live in peace.

Of course, this development trend must be based on Triton's iron fist.

The Makadao tribe organized 600 people, ranging from children as young as ten years old to old men in their forties and fifties, both men and women, armed with various stone weapons and a small number of iron weapons. Under attack from super-era weapons such as Triton crossbows, muskets, and incendiary bombs, they retreated after taking the lives of more than 300 people.

The next few days were filled with scattered harassment, and after more than 100 people were killed again, they finally became honest.

According to Ke Lei's estimation, unless the Makadao tribe can contact the ethnic groups in the north and east to attack together, the Makadao tribe's counterattack process will be over.

According to Chenjiazhuang's development plan, within two years, the erosion on Daliuqiu Island will not exceed the original territory of the Makadao tribe.In other words, within two years, Chenjiazhuang will not infringe on the interests of other ethnic groups.Therefore, the possibility of another large-scale attack by the indigenous people is very small.

"Arrange and file this information. If any relevant information comes later, send it to me as soon as possible." Chen Xun handed the letter to the person in charge of the intelligence station and asked him to prepare it for the record.

"Yes!"

After leaving the intelligence station, Chen Xun came to private port.

The reason for coming here is funny, because he misses Chen Qin.

Chen Qin has never been to the courtyard since she returned to her home in Private Harbor more than half a month ago.

Chen Xun knew the reason. It was most likely that she knew that she had sent people pretending to be pirates to attack the Lantau Island village. She could not accept this reality, so she hid from her.

More than half a month has passed, and Chen Liu has come back from Penghu Island, met his eldest brother and other villagers in Yushan Village, and helped Chen Xun appease the remaining families of the victims as promised. This matter is considered complete.But even so, Chen Qin still didn't come to the courtyard to help.

Otherwise, people are cheap.

If you don't cherish what you get easily, if you lose it, you will never forget it.

Chen Qin's character is very different from that of women of this era. She looks weak on the surface, but she is very strong and courageous on the inside.

For example, he identified himself in Daling Mountain before, and he was the first to discover the pirates and pointed them out.

The villagers of Yuanyushan Village have lived in the private port for so long, and the sea guards led by Ke Lei have also been stationed in the private port for a long time. There must be other villagers who have discovered the clues, but it is rarely the ones who came to expose this problem in the end. Chen Qin here.

This shows that compared to the cowardice and tolerance of people in this era, Chen Qin's character seems to be clear in love and hate.

In addition to attracting Chen Xun's personality, Chen Qin's height is also much stronger than that of this era.

Guangzhou is located in the south, and the living conditions of ordinary people are very poor. It can be used as a place of exile for the imperial court. This shows how bad the environment here is in this era, so people here are generally not tall.In Chenjiazhuang, the height of the local women is only Chen Xun's lower chest, and those from the north are not much better.

After Chen Xun obtained the "Elegance of Horses", his physique further increased, and his height also increased. Now he is almost 1.9 meters. Looking at the short height of local women, he really can't accept it.

But Chen Qin is different. He and his brother are very tall due to the influence of their mother's genes. Chen Qin is now 14 years old and is already taller than the female adults in Chenjiazhuang. In a few more years, as nutrition keeps up, it is estimated that she can grow to about 1.7 meters. .

In later generations, this height was considered outstanding.
