Tobacco businessman Li Yuxi received a very solemn welcome from Puli County.

First, two lucky ships ran aground on the last mile before entering the port, causing ship disaster. The fourteen ships carrying supplies were too close to the port, and they collided in a bunch of them in the bay.

Many sailors who disembarked safely then were choked by the undissipated smell of gunpowder and sulfur.

The atmosphere immediately became heavy. Li Yuxi frowned and looked around at the familiar face that was greeting him, and asked with his nose, "The battle is fierce?"

To be honest, the contrast brought to him by this city was very serious. The streets were clearly filled with the atmosphere of the end of street battles, but the soldiers guarding the city did not seem to have experienced any tragic wars, especially the Ming sailors who could tell at first glance that they looked and were all rosy, and they did not look like they were trapped in the siege for a long time.

The guards looked at each other, and Joseph Hua stepped forward and smiled, "Enjoyant Father, Li Zhengwei defended the city properly, and the enemy army never broke through the city; Ellen's patrol was excellent, and the local barbarians could not rebel; the Tailong Guard of the Ailan Kingdom also led his troops to support him 500 times. Now the commander led his troops to restrain the enemy in the western suburbs, and another Baihu led his troops out of the eastern suburbs. These days, the Ailan Kingdom had to transport food and grass."

"The smell of gunpowder in the city was the firecracker that Magistrate Cao had fired to clear the plague. He had released too many firecrackers and would not be dissipated for a while - now that you are here, the children's hearts are settled."

Li Yuxi, the first to sell tobacco, personally ran this route. He was not until he found out the route and sent the company's captain to take the fleet to conduct a business alone. Most of the captains who were captains were his adopted sons, and everyone felt that they were treated well.

Joseph Wah only told Li Yuxi a very critical message that the city's military power is now in the hands of Li Changlai, and the Tuyi head Alan Muming was in the midst of a group of local people. There were also Beiyang troops coming from the Ailan Kingdom outside the city.

It is just in line with the saying that the temple has a strong wind and a shallow water.

Li Changlai knew that this person was best at biting meat from others and had a very thick dough.

He opened a gold mine in Luzon, and Li Changlai used his military ship to transport it; he grew tobacco in Muye, and Li Changlai used his military ship to traffic; but he always looked independent and independent, which was disliked... These are all work that can make money, and everyone rushed to do it, so why should I give it to you, but I don’t know how to be grateful, and who can like him?

After a while, Li Yuxi was reluctant to do business with him.

Li Yuxi was unwilling to let Li Chang take over the military power from the bottom of his heart. If such a person cannot gain power, he always felt that what made him gain power was his own talent, not the help of others, and he would not open a door to convenience for others at that time.

The tobacco merchant did not come here to seize power, he had a way to deal with everyone.

He smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "Li heard in Muye that Puli County was deeply loved by the people and was recommended by the people to hold an independent matter for help in Asia. He immediately asked Yang, the Magistrate of Muye, to issue a document to publicly request Li to recruit soldiers. Only then did three thousand subordinates come to help in the ocean."

As he said that, Li Yuxi looked back and stretched his right arm to the ship that was unloading the goods on the dock, saying, "Now the baggage he carried is being unloaded, and it depends on you to fight to the death to defend, so that you can support Li. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, you can rest assured. No matter whether you are in the city or out of the city to fight in the field, you don't have to worry."

Li Yuxi's arrival did bring many senses of crisis to Li Changlai, especially those who unload goods at the port.

They wore the most common and simple earth-colored sea-style clothes in Asia, with no hair scarf on their heads. Their hair was very short, so they could only tie a small bun on their heads, their foreheads were surrounded by a circle of black cloth, and their waists were worn with an ancient style of ring-headed knife, hanging crossbow, diagonally inserted into a dart, holding a large shield, holding a javelin, a spear and a hook and sickle.

Some people also carry huge crossbows on their shoulders. Whether they carry crossbows or not, they have wooden tubes on their waists to peel out the medicine arrows.

They look like Miao people, but anyone knows that they are not Miao people. Miao men wear at most a pair of earrings. These people not only wear earrings, but also tattoo on their faces and bones in the middle of their noses... These people are Makino Baojia compiled by Yang Zhaolong, the magistrate of Makino.

Li Chang could see clearly that these people were hired by Li Yuxi, and asking them to take over the city defense was equivalent to giving up Puli County to Li Yuxi.

He bowed and said, "Brother Li brought his troops to help. We, Chief Puli, are very grateful. Now you are tired of boats and vehicles. Please ask the soldiers to go to the camp to rest first. I have ordered the camp to prepare wine and food to welcome the air and dust. Let's go to the yamen first, so as to inform the enemy's situation outside the city."

Li Yuxi smiled, and a man flashed behind him, wearing an old-style Beiyang breastplate, clasped his fists and said, "You don't have to worry about my army anymore. At the Jinjiang fleet admiral Duklu, my deputy admiral, specializes in city offense and defense in Asia, and take over defense from now on."

Although Dukelu said it very hard, in fact, he, the admiral of the Jinjiang fleet, sounded nice. His actual military position was the general flag of the Dongyang Military Office. Under the military system of the Dongyang Military Office, the deputy Qianjia Fleet of the company and the local Qianjia Office were on the same level. The admiral of the Qianli Fleet was half a level lower than Baijia. This was set up to facilitate the escort fleet and the regular army to face the command system when the war was faced with the normal army.

In other words, Ying Ming, a hundred households from the Eastern Military Palace, could command this fleet on the spot when they entered the city.

This is the case at sea. No matter whether it is a businessman or an immigrant, they are all people; even if it is a militia, they have to follow the regular army.

As soon as these words were said, Li Changlai was really out of temper, and he couldn't say that he wanted to be a toast here.

The admiral there has assigned the troops' tasks. If they should climb the city, they will go to the city and the city in the city. Then there will be soldiers looking for the leaders of the Shang soldiers guarding the city to inquire about the situation, and in a short time, they will replace all their deployments.

Even Cao Changqing, Li Yuxi, Li Changlai, Joseph and others entered the yamen. Before the banquet began, the Makino Baojia Iroquois soldiers who had reported the news had already run seven times.

One by one, the orders will be executed immediately as the notice is issued.

First, it was stipulated that the entire city was under the management of the soldiers of the Dongyang Military Palace. The houses at each street were requisitioned by Makino Baojia, and twenty-five people were stationed in each street. The city implemented a system of trust and trumpet systems. No one was allowed to travel without trust and those who were determined to be beheaded and displayed on the public.

Those who released people out of the street were killed with the people and Baojia.

Immediately afterwards, the guards at the city gate were not replaced. They were all Alan Muming's people, but their armed forces were removed and they arranged to defend the city lightly. Two Makino baojia were set up behind them, saying that they were to prevent the inside and outside from making money from the city gate in case of any change.

The city was divided into ten neighborhoods. The garrison of each street was arbitrators of Baojia, on the one hand, summoning the people to let them speak up and make them clear. On the other hand, they dig big holes, slamming the jars and setting up places to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels.

It is also stipulated that no one in the city is allowed to raise poles, spears, or percussion instruments on the roof. All the people who understand astronomy are sent to the yamen for maintenance and are not allowed to walk around everywhere.

The garrison of all streets and alleys Baojia has another mission to put out fires. Even if the neighbors are on fire, the people are not allowed to run around. The wealthy families in the city are even more restricted and strictly guarded.

He also dug a well every 100 steps in the city, digging ditches in the direction of the harbor, and rushing to make floating objects such as fish bladders and put them in the well to observe the water level.

All orders were issued in a very short time, which made Li Changlai and others in the yamen not in the mood to have a meal.
