"Weiyuan Island (New Guinea Island) will naturally be completely occupied." Qi Tian said: "Such a large piece of unowned land is so close to our Hanzhou. If we don't occupy it, will we have to take advantage of it in the future?

Westerners?”

"General Manager, our Hanzhou is the foundation!" Pan Qifeng said: "As of the end of June, our Hanzhou's population, not counting the new islands, is only over 35,000. Just like this, we still have to fill it to the east. If

To occupy a large area like Weiyuan Island, the initial investment must be huge and there will be no output. In the long run, it will bring down the fragile Hanzhou mainland."

"Haha..." Qi Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw Pan Qifeng's anxious look.

Jianye City and other places in northern Hanzhou have been separated from military control and have begun to implement normal local governance structures. Jianye Prefecture was established with Jianye City as the core, administering Jianye City, Heishan City, Xinhuaian City, and Kaiyuan City. The first prefect was

Pan Qifeng also serves.

Since he is sitting on the seat of Jianye Prefecture, he will naturally have some thoughts about Jianye Prefecture's continuous export of materials and people.

"To fully occupy Weiyuan Island does not mean to fully penetrate into the inland areas of the island. In the next ten years, Weiyuan Island will be positioned as a transit supply point for the Ming Dynasty immigrants. We only need to locate on the coast of Weiyuan Island,

It's enough to occupy a few key points. From now on, our development focus will still have to slowly shift to the eastern part of Hanzhou."

"As for Jianye Mansion in the northern part of Hanzhou, it is the most important support point for our strategy in Nanyang. Manager Pan, sometimes you think about problems, and you cannot always let your thoughts be influenced by the subordinates below. You must not only manage Jianye Mansion well, but also

It is necessary to comprehensively control the civil affairs of all territories in Hanzhou."

When Pan Qifeng heard this, his face couldn't help but blush. He was indeed encouraged by the officials of several counties below, saying that in recent months, Jianye Prefecture had not only continued to reduce the number of immigrants imported, but also exported a large amount of materials and personnel to fill Weiyuan.

Island and the eastern part of Hanzhou, which has greatly affected the improvement of the living standards of the people in the whole province.

At this moment, Qi Tian tactfully pointed out that as the deputy general manager of the civilian government, he must consider the issue comprehensively. Although Qi Tian is the general manager, he is only eighteen years old after all, which makes Pan Qifeng, who is in his thirties, somewhat embarrassed.

"General Manager, General Manager Pan." Officials from the Ordnance Department came over to report the problem, which immediately relieved Pan Qifeng's embarrassment at the moment.

"What's the matter?" Pan Qifeng asked in a deep voice.

"The Marine Corps and the Rural Barracks have reported their plans to attack inland. The military government has asked us to take a look and raise any issues with them in a timely manner."

"General Manager?" Pan Qifeng turned to look at Qi Tian.

"You can decide this matter. The inland natives should be vulnerable." Qi Tian said: "However, the difficulty is how to ensure the logistical supplies for the attack personnel and how to bring those natives back."

"I will personally go to Yongxing Fort (now the small town of Adelaide River in northern Australia) to do a good job in the logistics and supply work for this expedition." Pan Qifeng said quite excitedly. Although he could not attack with the Marine Corps' rural barracks,

In the camp of the indigenous tribes on the mainland, but he can supervise the provision of food and fodder for the "big army". As a scholar, he seems to be able to fight with iron horses.

———————————

Fort Yongxing has gathered more than 120 soldiers of the Fourth Marine Corps, as well as more than 400 rural soldiers. In addition to the masters who have been drafted and transported, the total number of personnel is more than 630, and there are four horses (donkey carts) and four carts.

More than ten vehicles, carrying thirty days of supplies, were preparing to attack the indigenous tribal alliance camp more than 150 kilometers to the south.

"Captain Fu, what's the current situation of the natives?" Xu Hongxiang, captain of the 3rd Marine Corps, asked.

"Those natives are a little stupid!" Fu Jinbiao said with a grin: "Moreover, they were all very quiet! They made no move to prepare to meet the enemy, and showed no signs of escaping. Even their earthen city still followed

Exactly the same as it was a few months ago.”

"Oh." Xu Hongxiang was also confused, "How many times have you gone to investigate recently, have they discovered you?"

"If we ride over there and explore their camps and earthen cities, they will naturally discover us," Fu Jinbiao said.

"Damn it, since you have discovered that you are frequently exploring their territory, even a fool knows that we are coming. What does it mean that they are not preparing for war and not running away?" Xu Hongxiang said.

"So, let's just say those natives are fools!"

Xu Hongxiang rolled his eyes. The natives were fools, but the few pirates who led them who slipped through the net were definitely not fools. There must be something fishy among them.

"Captain Xu, what are you worried about? There are so many of us, and there are two 3-pound artillery pieces. If you go to the natives, just blast open the Tucheng and get in! They can also set up an ambush to plot against you.

?" Fu Jinbiao said disapprovingly.

There were more than 30 cavalrymen in their cavalry, traveling across the indigenous tribe camp, as if they were in an uninhabited land. The plate armor on their fronts and backs was enough to withstand the attacks of all their wooden weapons. According to his wishes, he gathered all the horses in Hanzhou and

With more than 200 cavalry gathered, they can defeat the indigenous tribe alliance camp with only 2,000 people.

However, the Hanzhou Civilian Government's request is simple but resolute, to capture as many natives as possible to supplement the increasing mining demand.

"Mo Laoer and Dashun have already run away, why don't you leave?" Old Yutou stood on top of Tucheng and asked with a smile.

"You saved my life!" Ma Chaohu said angrily.

"Later, you also saved my life, and we were already even."

"It's different." Ma Chaohu looked at the flushed old fish head and sighed in his heart, "If it weren't for you back then, I would have died long ago, and I wouldn't be able to work with you in the future... I will stay with you for the last time.

Time."

"Haha..." The old fish head laughed. After a few laughs, he coughed hard and spurted out another stream of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"You should leave quickly before the people from Hanzhou come. Living is better than anything else! Do you know, what a good thing it is to be alive..." Old Yutou felt more and more that his energy was insufficient.

His body became weaker and weaker, and he could no longer eat the meat he had hunted. He could only eat some wild fruits and drink some wild vegetable soup every day to barely maintain his daily consumption.

"I don't want to run away." Ma Chaohu said calmly: "I will die with you...and the people from Hanzhou have already arrived."

Outside the Tucheng, a group of more than 30 cavalrymen quickly marched to the city wall, and then rode in circles around the Tucheng. The natives outside the city fled in panic, and those who were closer to the city gate ran directly in.

"Hey, don't they close the city gate?" A cavalryman glanced at Tucheng and found that the city gate was still wide open.

"Aren't you going to trick us into emptying the city?" Several cavalrymen slowly stopped, looked at the open city gate, and then looked at their cavalry captain.

Fu Jinbiao was also extremely confused. He looked back to the north. The Marine Corps and the Rural Army Camp had not arrived yet. With their thirty or so cavalry, they did not dare to rush into the city rashly. But looking at the wide-open city gate like this, what?

If you don't do anything, it would be too disgraceful for the Cavalry.

"Follow me to the city gate!" After Fu Jinbiao said that, he hit his horse and ran towards the city gate. The cavalry behind him also galloped away without hesitation.

When they were still more than forty meters away from the city gate, the cavalry suddenly turned to the left, almost grazing the city wall and then turned back.

"Hey!" Ma Chaohu shouted loudly on the city wall, "You are so timid! The door is open for you, and you don't even dare to come in!"

Hearing this, Fu Jinbiao pulled the reins to make the horse stop slowly, and then looked up at the horse Chaohu standing there with his arms akimbo on the city wall.

"Oh, you are really a bandit! What's going on, you don't want to fight, but you want to demote Hanzhou?"

"Yes, I am going to surrender you." Ma Chaohu said with a smile: "Do you dare to come in and accept the surrender?"

Fu Jinbiao was startled, what the hell, they surrendered before the fight started?

He looked at several of his cavalrymen, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

"Captain, this thief is trying to lure us in! Don't let us be fooled. When the army comes, we can just defeat them," said a cavalryman.

Many cavalrymen nodded one after another. After all, the opponent had more than 2,000 natives, and there were at least 700 or 800 who could fight. There was also this earth city that could be held, so how could they surrender so easily.

"Why, are you afraid of death and don't dare to come in?" Ma Chaohu said sarcastically.

"Your mother, I'm afraid of you, you idiot!" Fu Jinbiao's temper was aroused, and he immediately jumped off his horse and walked towards the city gate.

"team leader!……"

"team leader……"

Many cavalrymen rushed over to stop Fu Jinbiao from entering the city.

"Nothing! Go in first, you guys wait here." Fu Jinbiao turned around and waved his hand to his subordinates, "If I'm going to die in there, why don't you help me slaughter them?"

After that, he walked straight into the city gate.

After entering the city, he saw hundreds of natives gathered around the city gate, holding wooden spears in their hands and looking at him warily.

Fu Jinbiao glanced at these natives with contempt, turned around, and climbed directly to the top of the city.

"You can't tell, the people of Hanzhou are still very brave!" Ma Chaohu looked at Fu Jinbiao with admiration.

"We people in Hanzhou are so brave!" Fu Jinbiao turned around and saw a haggard and pale man leaning on the city wall, "Who is he? What's wrong?"

"He is our king." Ma Chaohu said sadly, "I guess he is going to die soon."

"King?" Fu Jinbiao was stunned, "Haha... you bandits, how dare you call yourself king! The commander-in-chief of Hanzhou has not even called himself king yet!"

"We established the Kingdom of the Song Dynasty, and he is our king." Ma Chaohu said calmly: "I was also named Marquis of Changning by my king!"

"Haha..." Fu Jinbiao couldn't stop laughing after hearing this, "Donkey Ball! A bunch of stupid savages have turned into a kingdom!... Lord Chang Ning, do you want to kneel down for you?"

"Shh..." Ma Chaohu stretched out his hand to sniff out the old fish's head, "Our king is dead."

"Then what……"

"We have surrendered to your Hanzhou." Ma Chaohu stood up slowly, "If you want to kill or behead, it's up to you. I'm tired and want to take a rest. By the way, your Hanzhou, do you have wine or food? I'll die.

When the time comes, you must let me have a good meal... What the hell, I haven't had a sip of wine or a sip of vegetables in several years!"

"Here you go!" At this time, Fu Jinbiao had no murderous intention towards Ma Chaohu, but he was full of sympathy for him in his heart. He took out a wine bottle from his arms and threw it over.

"Tear..." Ma Chaohu took the wine bottle and took a big gulp of it. He was immediately hit by the strong smell of sorghum wine, and he kept opening his mouth and coughing.
