Everyone's eyes attracted this gap. Everyone knew that this would be the key point of success or failure of the battle. Baron carried a wooden spear and rushed over with more than 200 people. It was obvious that Duoya was already standing next to him covered in blood. The warriors around him were one-third less, and it was obvious that they had just been replaced.

"Doya, if I die, I will leave the Huweilong Society to you." Baron smashed Duya's chest with his fist and said solemnly.

Li Mingxun appeared in front of the two with a calm expression and smiled: "Balon, you can't die. You have owed me a lot of payment for goods in the past few months. If you die, who will I ask for if I owe the money?"

"Shopkeeper Li, what do you mean? The battle is not a joke when it reaches this point." Doya yelled.

Li Mingxun laughed and waved his hand. A group of tall and large guards came over with the box. Li Mingxun opened the box, took out an iron ball the size of a steamed bun, and said, "Two, let you see what war is today!"

As he said that, he ignited the fuse on the iron ball, swung his arms, threw it over the melee crowd with all his might, and threw it out of the fence. Doya and Baron stared blankly, and inexplicably, a violent explosion came from behind the crowd, a ball of blood mist mixed with white smoke, and some of them flew up with broken hands and feet.

Everyone followed suit, picked up the thunder in the box, ignited it, and threw it over the crowd, and exploded the crowded barbarians behind them to the bloody and bloody one after another. The explosions came one after another, becoming the only sound inside and outside the camp.

The high mountain barbarians outside the gap fell to the ground. The huge noise and stimulating smell made their tense nerves tremble. When Qi Lie, who was covered in blood, rushed out of the blood mist and smoke, and rushed like a demon god, no one dared to resist anymore. Countless people shouted and retreated yelled.

Sartu stood behind the brigade, and after seeing the explosion, thousands of people retreated. They threw away the weapons in their hands, took off their leather jackets, and fought with the warriors of the Tongshe for the sake of the road. Everyone's faces were filled with fear and timidity. Whether strong or not, whether they were loyal or not, whether they were loyal or not, everyone was running wildly. Sartu drew out his big sword and killed several people in succession, but he could not stop the retreat.

"Stop, you cowards, go back and fight the enemy!" Sartu stood under the totem and shouted, but no matter how he did, he could not save the defeat.

"Bale, you are also running away. Have you forgotten the oath you made under the totem? Can you still call yourself a brave warrior?" Saltu showed a familiar face, which was a commander in the five villages and communities in Kanabuya.

But Bale stood there, waved his hand, and seven or eight people surrounded him, among which there was the commander of another village community. Several of them pressed step by step, pushing Saltu into the corner. Bale said coldly: "Saltu, you used to be the bravest person of our Kanabuya tribe, but today, what else have you done besides using violence to force the same tribe? Have you led the army? Have you led the way? No! No, you are just hiding behind everyone, waiting to enjoy the glory we exchanged for with our blood and sweat!"

Looking at the tribe who was pressing step by step, Saltu showed a bleak bitter smile on his face. He seemed to recall his young self, the young warrior who did not love fine wine and sword spear. Saltu suddenly said: "I can bring three of you to bury him, but I don't want to kill anymore. Bale, I hope your ending is better than mine!"

As he said that, he turned his short knife back and inserted it into his heart. His tall body fell to the ground. Bale looked at Saltu, untied the totem of the village community and covered it with Saltu, allowing the blood to gush out of the terrifying face on the totem to dye the terrifying face on the totem red.

Li Mingxun stood there, in the valley in front of him, the warriors of Qilixiang and the Huweilong Club chased each other. They entered the jungle and stepped into the swamp. Li Mingxun offered a high price for each mountain barbarian, who could at least half of the people.

At night, inside the big house in the Huweilongshe Camp.

Li Mingxun drank all the wine offered by Ah Hai. He clapped his hands and Wu Mu sent a rattan box. Li Mingxun knocked on the table with the hilt of the knife, and the leaders of the Huweilong Club and the trading club in the room were quieted down. Li Mingxun's eyes swept across every face, opened the rattan box, and a loud voice sounded: "Everyone, I want to show you a few things!"

Doya and Baron rushed over and took out something from the vine box. Baron held a head and shouted: "It's Saltu, the general of Kanabuya's great commander, he is dead!"

Duoya held the blood-soaked totem, held it up and shouted: "This is the totem of Saltu Village!"

The house fell into dead silence, but it was soon filled with cheering sounds. Everyone was filled with joy and cheering and jumping with all their heart's content. Li Mingxun's words pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

"Today is a celebration banquet, drink wine and eat meat at will. Let us cheer to the fullest!"

Li Mingxun was also in a very happy mood. He defeated a tribal alliance of Gaoshanman and captured at least a thousand Dingkous. Among the five villages that had lost their protection, there were at least tens of thousands of men, women, and the elderly and weak. These would become human resources for the trading club exhibition and push the strength of Tenglong Trading Club to a higher level. Under the toast of the leader of the Huweilong Club and the leader of the guard, Li Mingxun drank a lot and his consciousness entered a hazy state.

Until Duoya appeared beside Li Mingxun, who was vomiting in the corner of the wall, his words made Li Mingxun shudder, and a cold sweat broke out in his eyebrows. He drank half of the drink he had drunk and became much more awake.

"What? Doya, I heard it right. Do you want to be my follower and serve me?" Li Mingxun asked in surprise. He looked at Doya again. Although this strong man is over thirty years old, he has a strong body. His eyes are full of ambitions. He is definitely a difficult opponent on the battlefield. Today's battle has proved his strength. If he hadn't pounced on him at the most critical moment, perhaps Qi Lie charming would have been dispersed by the barbarians of the mountains.

But Doya looked confident and said, "Yes, Manager Li, I want to follow you and be your sergeant warrior."

Lee Mingxun sat down against the earth wall and asked, "Why?"

"You have the strength, ability, and..." Doya seemed to be ready for the language as much as possible, but was interrupted by Li Mingxun: "Don't, don't praise me like this. I have known you and I have only been 20 words for only 20 words. You don't understand me, just like I don't understand you, even if someone tells you what I am, will you believe it?"

A trace of flame flashed in Doya's eyes, and he sighed and said, "Okay, I'm honest, I want to follow you because I don't want to fight with Baron anymore. A village community is like a snake, and can only have one head. If Baron continues to fight, the village community is divided, that's not what I want to see, but I don't want to stay silent for a lifetime, so I want to follow you and fight with you."

Li Mingxun nodded slightly. He said this. With his simple understanding of Doya, this man has strong combat power and fearless character. He is a first-class player in any village, and is enough to compete for the village club. He also has a mother who is a great wizard. However, the special thing about the Huwei Long Club is that there is also a Baron. Doya has most of the advantages of Doya, and the shrewdness and fairness he has is that Doya has never possessed. When the two fight, Doya is destined to fail unless he uses conspiracy.

Obviously, as a samurai, Doya doesn't want this. He chose to give up competition and defect to Lee Myung-hoon. He is interested in Lee Myung-hoon's potential. In Doya's heart, becoming a follower of Lee Myung-hoon, he will lose the Huwei Long Club, but he will not do anything mediocre.

Li Mingxun rubbed his forehead and said, "Doya, you are the leader like me. You should know that we not only have our own ideals but also hold the hope of our followers. If you choose to give up fighting for the leader of the Huweilong Society, what will your entourage warriors think? They give you blood and sweat, and even what life will you get in the end, and who will protect their interests?"

Duoya was speechless for a moment. If he quit the competition, it would definitely disappoint countless people.

Lee Mingxun patted Doya on the shoulder and said, "Go and find Baron, I'll help you two find a way out."

He raised his head and shouted at the fence beside him: "Don't hide Ah Hai, go and send me some water and put out your fire rope. That thing is so smelly."

Ah Hai stood up from behind the fence in disappointment, put out the fuse, raised the musket, covered his butt and staggered to get the water.

Soon, the four of them came to Doya's house. He had a good wife, so the house was very clean. After sitting down, Doya said to Baron openly about Li Mingxun's words. After Baron heard this, his face flushed, and he was both moved and excited, and he couldn't speak.

After Li Mingxun took Duoya to say that, he took a sip of water and said, "I know that your Huweilong Society's kinship only focuses on brothers and parents, and no matter the rest, he naturally has not heard of any matters in the sect. For us Han people, when brothers get married and start a business, they will separate their families, and if the families of powerful officials cannot give in because of their interests and feelings, they will live separately."

"What do you mean is that let our Huweilong Club be divided into two village clubs?" Baron asked unwillingly.

Duoya shook his head and said firmly: "No, if our village and community are separated, our strength will be separated. It will no longer be a big village and community, and will be bullied by others."

Lee Mingxun waved his hand and said, "That's just the worst result. I mean to make you a healthy competition, and even the loser will not lose everything."

"How to compete?" Duoya asked vigilantly.

Li Mingxun said: "It's very simple. Expand the Huweilong Society. Your village community now has more than 6,000 people. The original hunting ground and fishing ground are already stretched. Even without the competition between you, there will be changes. Either the population or the territory is expanded. Today we defeated Gaoshanman. Sartu was dead. The strength of the five villages in Kanabuya was greatly damaged and they could not unite in a short period of time. You can take the initiative to attack and seize their hunting ground. Our trading company provides you with weapons and supplies. As a referee, whoever makes great contributions to the Huweilong Society will become the next leader. Of course, in this process, the population and land of your village community will expand. When the Huweilong Society has 20,000 people or even more, even if it is separated, it is a big village community and will not be bullied, right?"

Duoya's face was so excited that she was about to express her opinion, but she was pulled by Baron: "Shopkeeper Li, you and I are friends, but I still want to know why you are so proactive in helping our village community!"

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "I am not taking the initiative to help you, but I just get what you need. You have also seen that my trading company needs people. I want to build a salt farm, build a port and dock, burn bricks and tiles, squeeze sugar, and plant sugar cane and rice. I need people, and as much as you need, you will get prisoners after winning the battle. For the high mountain barbarians, I can offer a high price of five taels, and children and the elderly are also worth three taels."

"What do we want money for?" Duoya asked.

Lee Mingxun laughed: "Doya, with silver, there is everything. My spear can be sold to you for two spears, while the silver armor warrior's iron armor only needs thirty taels. In the future, I will even sell it to you firearms. Our trade will be made public sooner or later. Then more merchants will come, and they will also like silver."

"But our strength is inevitably separated. Manager Li, is this good? Can you give us some equipment to credit? We will pay it back slowly in the future?" Baron asked tentatively.

Li Mingxun said: "Of course, if you don't say it, I will do this. I hope you will sooner or later. If you delay it, they may unite again. Before withdrawing troops tomorrow, I will leave each of you with equipment of one hundred people, spears, rattan cards and rattan armor, as well as a sword and a long-shot bow. By the way, I can also give you two of them one with silver armor. Your reward for me is to hand over everyone captured today to me. How about it?"

Doya immediately became happy, while Baron was still a little confused. He felt that Li Mingxun was too generous today, but he had no choice but to agree.

Seeing the two left, Ah Hai curled his lips and said, "Why do you have to be so kind to them by master? Let's send troops to chase and kill Gaoshan barbarians, and we can destroy those villages and communities within three months."

Li Mingxun patted his head and said, "Ahai, you have to remember that if you can do it with money, don't let your brothers die. This is Taiwan, and there is even more malaria in the mountains, and poisonous insects and snakes everywhere. You have also seen it. Under our command, whether it is Han or Qi Lie, it is not suitable for living here, let alone fighting for a long time."

"Then you don't have to do this. Since that Duoya is willing to serve, he will subdue him and let him take the barbarians to fight." Ah Hai was still a little reluctant.

Li Mingxun smiled, tied three wooden sticks together, and said, "Among the arithmetic I once handed over to you, this triangle is the most stable, far beyond other shapes, so it is most common in the construction industry. In fact, it is also the same as choosing allies. If we only have two allies, Baron and Hongya Six Society, they will expand sooner or later. When they expand on the island to the point where they cannot expand, they will put their ideas on each other, and we are no exception. If there are three forces, they will hinder each other and no one can make it bigger. We will mediate again and we will be less wary."

Ah Hai said, "Master, why do you need to fight less? These natives are either fierce or xenophobic. They have to kill them well so that they can be obscene."

Li Mingxun said: "Ahai, if our trading company wants to achieve great things, it must have a foundation. Taiwan is the foundation I have chosen for everyone. Although Taiwan is only a place of two provinces, its land is fertile and can be mature three times a year. There are many resources in the mountains. If it is well opened and immigrated more, in just twenty years, ordinary provinces of the Ming Dynasty were not as good as possible. If it is in Nanyang, it is also the foundation for the establishment of a country. Such a treasure land naturally requires handling the relationship with the indigenous people. It is definitely not enough to just kill. Sichuan is also the country of Tianfu. It is because of frequent struggles with local chieftains that it has not become a prosperous place like Jiangnan and Huguang. This is not something we can't walk."

"The master thinks for the long term and makes sense. Ah Hai remembers it. Maybe I understand when I get older." Ah Hai scratched his head and could only say this.

"It's great if you have such thoughts. I'll go to Jiangnan in a few days. You can go with me too, and you'll have a long experience!" Li Mingxun said with a smile.
