Sun Lin and Fang Qiyi walked into the city and listened to the stories of the Han people in the city. They also saw that the weapons of the Han people in the city were actually not bad, including strong crossbows, spears and sharp long swords, bird guns, turtledove guns, and even a few Western flintlock guns, as well as armor.

However, the Han people, who were far more advanced than the natives in terms of weapons, were in a group of indigenous people with simple weapons and at least one head shorter than the Han people, so scared that they could only huddle in the city and did not dare to go out of the city to fight with the natives. They could only watch their compatriots be captured and eaten as meat.

Sun Lin said angrily: "You are so well-equipped, but you are actually afraid of a group of short and small native barbarians! You are really timid!"

"But these raw natives who roasted people alive and ate them are really terrible." A young Han man trembled all over and said tremblingly.

"What are you afraid of? They are carrying two heads on one shoulder. With one knife, their heads will fall off; with one arrow, they don't even have armor, and they will shoot to death with one arrow!" Sun Lin roared angrily.

While talking, someone else shouted outside: "Here you come, the native barbarians are here again!"

Sun Lin brought his personal guards and mercenaries to the city wall west of Tucheng. A large number of dark-skinned, short, men and women, carrying baskets appeared under the city, screaming and talking languages ​​that the Han people could not understand. However, seeing that those indigenous people did not have any weapons, they did not look like they were coming to rob.

"Don't panic, everyone," Wang Dahai shouted, "These are not life-going stories, but familiar stories for making transactions."

Cooked versions are some local indigenous people who are about to enter a civilized society. They do not eat human flesh, do not rely on plunder and robbery, but trade with the Han people with mild temperament.

These mature and raw romances are very different, and wars often break out between mature and raw romances.

The Han people opened the city gate and put the mature natives who came to trade into the city. After that, the two parties traded, which was a bartering transaction. The natives used venison jerky, deer antlers, taro, animal skins, and even gold sand to exchange for iron pots, salt, ironware, ceramics or various gold and silver jewelry in the hands of the Han people.

Sun Lin found that it was very cost-effective to trade with local indigenous people. An ordinary kitchen knife or a pottery can be exchanged for the same weight of gold sand. A pound of salt can be exchanged for more than ten pounds of dried venison, plus a good animal skin, and a bag of rice can be exchanged for a piece of gold. As for gold and silver jewelry, it is even more valuable, and a silver hairpin can be exchanged for a large piece of gold.

The gold sand or large pieces of gold given by the natives were all impurities. Without the technology of purification, they took the gold that simply came from the river and traded it with the Han people.

In fact, the Han people were still too kind. If they were Western colonists, their trade with the indigenous people would be almost like cheating. Often, a sack of iron nails would be replaced by a sack of gold. A few glass balls would be replaced by a large amount of gold.

Seeing the sacks filled with golden sand in the hands of the natives, Sun Lin firmly believed in what Zhongyonghou said: "There are mountains of gold and silver everywhere outside the Ming Dynasty. As long as you are willing to spend some time, you will not be afraid of not being able to make a fortune."

In the eyes of the natives, such as venison, antlers, and animal skins, they are worthless in the eyes of the natives, but Sun Lin knew that these things were all good things when transported back to the Ming Dynasty. Jerky venison is one of the delicacies of the mountain, and deer antlers can be made into deer antlers as medicine; some of the animal skins are precious fur such as high-quality fox skins and otter skins.

There are also tiger skins and leopard skins, which are very valuable to transport them back to the Ming Dynasty. The tiger skins here are obviously not as big as those of the Ming Dynasty. They are a relatively small tiger that was beaten to death and peeled off.

If Zhao Peng was there, he could recognize that this was the tiger skin of the Sumatra tiger. The Sumatra tiger lives on islands in South China such as Borneo, Jinzhou and Java. This type of tiger is very small, with male tigers only 120 kilograms and female tigers only 90 kilograms, which is not much bigger than a golden leopard.

Because the Sumatra tiger is relatively small, the skin peeled by a tiger happens to make a piece of clothing or a blanket.

Of course, what Sun Lin is most interested in is gold. After all, the Fang family has invested so much money and came to Nanyang to make gold. So he asked a local Chinese who knows indigenous language to act as an interpreter and asked the indigenous leader: "Can you get more gold sand? If possible, we can provide you with iron spears, bows and crossbows, and even firearms."

The native leader replied: "We can't get more gold, because more gold is deep in the woods, where the ogres control territory, and no one dares to go in."

"This is easy to deal with. As long as you lead us and eliminate those ogres, their property will be yours, and their people will be your slaves from now on!" Sun Linteng told the translator of the natives.

The indigenous leaders were overjoyed: "It's great, we are naturally willing to serve you!"

Morgen was a former captive of the Eight Banners Army, and now he has become a squad leader of a mercenary. When he saw the sacks filled with gold sand in his hands, his eyes lit up: Unexpectedly, there was so much gold on this overseas island! If he wanted to get these gold, he didn't need to rob him with his head. He could just get some valuable iron, cloth, and pottery jars. If he could form a colonial army in the future, he would be killed overseas, so he would be gentle and trade with them. After working like this for a few years, there would be too much gold in his family in the future.

But after thinking that after he became rich, he could not return home to glorify his ancestors and show his glory to his clansmen, what Morgen thought was not that he hoped that the Qing Dynasty would destroy the Ming Dynasty, but when the Ming Dynasty would defeat Aisin Gioro, recover Yanjing, and even incorporate the Northeast into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so that he could go home to glorify his ancestors.

After all, Molgen knew that the Ming army's firearms were too powerful, especially the army of loyal and brave waiters, which was too strong in combat. It was impossible for the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Since the Qing Dynasty could not destroy the Ming Dynasty, it would be better to let the Ming Dynasty destroy Aisin Gioro, so that the Manchus could surrender to the Ming Dynasty. As long as they could make a fortune with their own heads, who would be willing to do robbery with their heads?

But next, Sun Lin announced something: "The war is about to be prepared. The enemy is the local cannibal barbarian! But please rest assured, brothers, their weapons are the weapons placed in front of you, and there is no armor."

Morgen lowered his head and saw short spears only three feet long on the ground. The spear heads were made of stones; bows made of branches, bamboos and ropes, and arrows made of animal bones.

"It's not easy for the barbarians to kill all of them," Molgen laughed.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. They are familiar with the local jungle. If we go deep into the army alone, get far away from our comrades and fall into the encirclement of barbarians, even the brave soldiers of ours will be in danger!" Sun Lin said, "So everyone must abide by military discipline, don't stay too far away from our comrades, don't act alone with your guide."
