In the early morning, the millet water was filled with ice and snow on the shore. There was a lot of emerald green dotted between the mottled areas. The ice surface that was originally frozen on the river was now fragmented, and the broken ice went east with the river water.

The north shore, Goose City, and the south marina of the city were circulating. Several steamships berthed at the marina were "preheating". The steam boiler ignites the water to prepare for a while of sailing. Many coolies were busy transporting a large amount of supplies onto the ship.

On the dock, many men lined up in a long line of crooked men waiting to board the ship. They either carried hunting guns on their backs or bows and arrows, wore cotton jackets on their bodies, and held hot pancakes in their hands, eating and playing.

Not far away, "Lord Liu City" Liu Badao was talking to several "hairmen". He saw his team being noisy and couldn't hold on, so he asked his followers to take care of it, and then continued to inquire about it with several acquaintances.

"The company really wants to set rules in the entire Blackwater Basin?"

Several gangsters (armed personnel of Beiyang Trading Company) replied: "That's right, the rules are undecided, how can we do this business? The Hei Shui ministries are unruly and are used to lawlessness. They think that doing business is too troublesome, so it's better to just rob it and not teach them some lessons, and think we are fat pigs to be slaughtered!"

"Then the market for this fur?"

"Oh, Lord Liu, just put your heart back steadily. The company will never treat everyone badly, right? So what if there are too many fur goods? Don't worry about selling it? How much lower the price!"

"But now, heroes from all over the world are rushing north. Not to mention Changchun, even Eicheng will definitely become more and more lively. Don't you hurry up and make arrangements in advance?"

"That's right, that's right, the despised residence in Echeng is about to open in summer. I'll invite a few more people to enjoy the glory at that time!"

"Okay, OK! One word is determined!"

The sudden sound of whistle interrupted the conversation. Liu Badao bowed to the others and took the team to board the ship.

Seeing his subordinates get on the boat and looking around curiously, Liu Badao was too lazy to care. He looked back at the shore and looked at the smoke in Goose City, his heart was full of longing.

He became the city lord as he wished, and his immigrant settlements became the "city". Not only did he reclaim a large amount of fertile land, but he also had the inn set up by the government. The wealth route was opened, but it was not enough, so he could not stay in the city and devote himself to being the city lord.

Fur goods transactions are a big deal he personally manages. He takes his team to the Sumo River Basin to hunt every year, and at the same time he also trades with various Sumo troops to exchange for the fur in the other party's hands.

The team must be led by themselves to unite people's hearts. If the second leader and the third leader always serve, over time, the subordinates will only know the second leader and the third leader, and they will no longer remember the first leader.

Similarly, he had to show his face in front of the leaders of various tribes every year to consolidate his friendship so that he would not be forgotten.

At the same time, the Eye City must be arranged quickly, otherwise you will not be able to keep up.

Echeng is located on the north bank of Sumo River, and is about 500 miles south of Changchun. It is named because it is called "the place where swans gather".

Echeng is different from Changchun. It is not a city directly under the government. It is an important trading base of Beiyang Trading Company. After years of development, its scale has become larger and larger. Because it has an important role in protecting Changchun, the court seemed to plan to station troops in Echeng and take direct jurisdiction.

As an important trade base in the Sumo River Basin, Echeng will inevitably be more lively by then. Liu Badao feels that if he doesn't occupy some good locations first, he is really sorry for his hard work in Liaodong.

The whistle sounded again, and the steamer slowly left the dock and slowly headed towards the upstream west. When the ship passed by the west side of the port area, a large number of people gathered on the dock at the west end were so large that Liu Badao and his men were dazzled.

These people and horses are about to board the ship, but their destination is different from Liu Badao and his party: Liu Badao is going to the upper reaches of Sumo Water, the direction is west, and these people and horses are going downstream, the direction is east, and heading to the lower reaches of Sumo Water.

There, the millet water will flow into the black water, and the Black Water Basin is the territory of the Black Water.

......

At the junction of Sumoshui and Hei Water, the trade stronghold of Sumoshui, welcomed the first batch of visitors after the beginning of spring: the supply fleet from Goose City, the upper reaches of Sumoshui, and the first batch of reinforcements as the forefront.

People were unloading goods on the blood-stained dock. Wang Jin, who was landing ashore, looked at the bloodstains and asked Chang Silang, the "hair general" beside him: "I said, those birds have never stopped?"

"Of course, it's like a smell of fishy flies, swaying around all day long, and it's so lively."

Chang Silang answered indifferently, looked at the "Ruth Soldiers" who were disembarking, and said with a smacking mouth: "Lao Wang, there are no cowards in the people you brought. In this ghost place, cowards can't live long."

"I, Old Wang, won't bring the cowards here... This place is good, so why is it a ghost place? As long as the company defeats the birds and sets rules, the fur transactions will be amazing."

"Beat it? You're thinking too much, these birds can't make sense at all. The people I sent out for negotiation were chopped and thrown back, dazzled!!"

As he spoke, Chang Silang cursed, his eyes flashing with fire: "What a great young man, he came back with blood, and kept howling. I gave him a pleasure with my own hands, and then killed twenty savages to bury him!"

"On New Year's Eve, these birds didn't stop. They launched sneak attacks late at night and wanted to get into the fort, but were beaten by the men."

"It's good. During the Chinese New Year, everyone is bored in the fort. If these birds come to harass us, we will have fun. I will ambush outside the fort with people, and I can kill several people every now and then."

"These birds are really cunning enough. Seeing that they were always unlucky when they came over the swamp, they thought about burning the dock and leading us out."

"They are cunning, and I'm not stupid. I'll still die a few of them. Even the dead ghosts before them are hung up to make them dry bacon... Now, look at the shelf, that's all."

Wang Jincheng followed the direction that Chang Silang pointed, and indeed, on the shelf outside the dock, he saw many hanging "bacon" on it, which looked very "spectacular" at first glance.

It's spring now, so the corpse's decay is not fast, but even so, there's still a little bloody smell on the pier.

As for whether the odor is emitted by the "bacon" or the blood stains that are deliberately not wiped off on the dock, it is no longer important.

For Wang Jin, this bloody smell was so pleasant that it made people feel excited after smelling it. However, no matter how many people attacked Suhei Fort, all the Black Water tribes that attacked Suhei Fort were helpless with this isolated fortress.

Because the defenders of Suhei Fort have artillery and muskets, they are not afraid of these savages who use animal bones as arrowheads. Wang Jin said that it would be a pity that the Black Water Basin, which produces a large amount of fur, was occupied by these savages.

After several years of visiting Liaodong, Wang Jin said that he had made a family. Not only did his immigrant settlement upgrade from "city" to "city", but his team also doubled. Some were responsible for farming and some were responsible for hunting. Wang Jin said that he had always led the team to do fur business, and the business was getting bigger and bigger.

Beiyang Trading Company wants to set rules in Hei Shui. Wang Jin said that he volunteered immediately and took the initiative to ask for the fight, and wanted to contribute to the company. Now he came to Hei Shui with his fully armed outlaws, not by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name.

The blood and fishy smell on the dock are just enough to cheer everyone up!

Wang Jin said that he dared to bring people to the unfamiliar Heishui River Basin, of course, it was not simply a bold person. He knew that the company also invited several Eight Banners Banners to lead troops to help the battle. The tribes of these Banners were originally Sumo tribes and were not unfamiliar with Heishui. Everyone worked together to make a fortune in the Heishui River Basin.

"Lao Chang, are there many women in the tribes nearby?"

"Woman?" Chang Silang looked at Wang Jincheng and smiled in a hint: "The women here will not take a shower every few years. They are unkempt and very sexy. Can brothers be hard?"

"As women, it's not the same when they blow the lights? Brothers are so nervous that they come to Liaodong to make a fortune and steal women? Besides, slutty also has the benefits of being sexy. Isn't that chicken butt also slutty, and a lot of people like to eat it!"

Wang Jin said that when speaking in front of old acquaintances, they were all fighting men, and they were so happy to speak. They came here to make a fortune and rob women, otherwise what would they do if they licked blood from the knife?
