The leader of the family team in the castle of Liuqiu is Keshan.
The closed door of the fort opened, and Ke Shan strode out wearing iron armor, "San Lang, forgive me for not coming to the dock to greet you." ” Li Chao looked at this old friend and smiled and stepped forward to give him a hug.
Just as the fierce man in the prime of life smiled and hugged Li Chao hard, Li Chao looked at Ke Shan's face, there was an amazing scar on it, and the scar took up half of his face from his forehead to his mouth.
It was this scar that ruined one of Ke Shan's eyes.
Ke Shan, who had already become a lieutenant in the government soldiers, chose to retire.
Originally, the government soldiers were for life, and once they were selected to join the government soldiers, they had to serve until they reached the age of 60.
Although Ke Shan is blind in one eye, he has not yet reached the standard of disability for retirement.
But he really didn't want to stay in the army, so he wrote a letter to Li Chao, and Li Chao helped him complete the formalities for retirement.
Retirement is actually simple, just return the military field.
If Ke Shan served until he reached the normal retirement age, his military land could be cultivated until he died.
After leaving the government army, Li Chao invited Ke Shan to come to Liuqiu and serve as the leader of the Li family's escort force in Liuqiu.
Although Ke Shan is now nominally the captain of Li Jialiu's family, in fact Ke Shan has 900 men.
Nine hundred families, armed with muskets, swords, bows and crossbows, this is an army, and even armor.
However, this is not a violation.
The Li family's Liuqiu fiefdom is actually three marquises, each of whom can have hundreds of guards, and these hundreds of guards are allowed to be equipped with weapons, but their weapons have to be purchased from the imperial court and registered, and they cannot be self-made and private.
Li Chao gathered the guards of the three families together, which can be regarded as a sideshow, and no one will care about this trivial matter on the big island in the east and the sea.
Ke Shan is very conscientious, and since he came here, he has been training the group of guards recruited by the Li family day and night.
After more than a year of training, the current team of Jiading is already very much a bit of a government soldier.
"Uncle Shan is guarding here, and Liuqiu has been pioneering for more than a year, and there has been no accident, which is very remarkable."
Ke Shan smiled, "I didn't actually do anything, just guard this castle, then train soldiers, and send soldiers out to patrol in turns. ” "It's all these guards led by Uncle Shan who are elite and clean-up, so Shanyi doesn't dare to mess around.
Go, enter the fort. ” Fan Lubing looked up at the small but tall fortress, looking at the soldiers in iron armor in front of the gate, and the guards on the castle with muskets and bows and arrows, and marveled in his heart.
The Jiading team, this is more elite than the imperial court's government soldiers, this equipment, this elite momentum, is completely the appearance of the forbidden army.
When he was in Penghu before, he had already lamented the Li family's fortress on the sea, but now when he arrived in Liuqiu, he found that it was becoming more and more prosperous and lively, and the garrison here was more stringent.
Castles, warriors.
The person who is trying to be this teacher is very big, and the power of the Li family is also greater.
And now, there is still a fleet of Li Chao's warships in the port, as well as 5,000 elites.
"Uncle Shan, this is Fan County Ling, and he is also my protégé, a jinshi in the first year of Zhenguan.
I have studied history books with me, and I have also been a post-hall official in Shangshu Province, I am talented and capable, and I will be the highest governor of the imperial court stationed on Liuqiu Island in the future, and you will have to cooperate more with Fan County's order in the future. ” Ke Shan opened his one-eyed and looked at Fan Lubing, and that look even made Fan Lubing feel a little frightened, so sharp.
"In Xia Keshan, I used to be a small soldier in the government army, but now I am disabled and retired, and I am in charge of the defense of Liuqiu for the time being, and I will ask Fan Zhijun to take care of it in the future."
Li Chao said that Ke Shan should cooperate more, instead of obeying orders, and one word clarified the relationship between the two in the future.
Fan Lubing also heard it, he smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that his county order will not be so easy.
"Good team leader."
Fan Lubing smiled and said hello.
"Uncle Ke, have you prepared a place to live for Fan County Ling?"
"Hui Saburo, we have repaired a county office for Fan Yuanjun in Liuqiu City, it is on the East Cross Street, the yamen is quite large, and there is a big mansion in the back, Fan Yuanjun can live there."
I thought that the yamen was in this castle, but I didn't expect it to be in the city over there, Fan Lubing was a little surprised, but he was just stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.
It seems that this Liuqiu Fort is the Li family's private territory.
"King Yue, since I happened to meet the market with Shanyi today, I want to go and have a look, I don't know if I can," Fan Lubing said with a smile.
"It's good, it's good to take a look, just to get to know the Shanyi.
Uncle Ke, you find a few interpreters, and then send someone to go with us. ” The markets with Sanyi are not just in one place, but in many places.
"We have been in contact with more than 300 tribes, and these 300 tribes have a population of 100,000."
The steward of the Li family, who was in charge of liaison with Shanyi, was a sturdy man, a native of Zhangzhou, who had been in contact with the Yi people in Liuqiu before.
In fact, the Shanyi on Liuqiu Island were not completely closed, they would also have contact with the Han people in the past, and in the early years, fishermen and merchants from Fujian often came to trade, but the transactions were relatively small and more secretive.
It was precisely because there was such a deal in the past that Yang Guang would send people to the island to ask Shanyi to surrender, and after being refused, he also sent troops to levy it.
When the Li family went to the island, they opened the way with money and goods, bought land and traded with the Shanyi, and even treated the Shanyi, gave gifts, etc., these means really avoided conflicts from the beginning.

The Li family's silver bullet offensive was good, and in less than two years, they had already made contact with most of the tribes in the central region of the western part of the island.
"More than 300 tribes, 100,000 people" Fan Lubing was shocked again. 100,000 people, how big is this island.
"Is this the entire population of the island?"
Li Chao smiled and shook his head, "This is just the tribes in the central and western parts of the island, according to my estimate, the total number of Shanyi on the island may exceed 500,000 people."
They would have one or two thousand tribes, scattered all over the place. ” Fan Lubing didn't know how to speak anymore.
But Li Chao felt that there must be more than 500,000 Shanyi on the island.
These mountain Yi on the island, the Li family is divided into Pingpu Yi and Gaoshan Yi according to the flat land or mountains they live in, relatively speaking, Pingpu Yi is milder, and Gao Shanyi is more ferocious.
There are three or four thousand people in the large village of the Shanyi, and there are three or four hundred in the small ones.
"We have to be kind to Shanyi, but we have to be guarded against people.
With so many mountains and tribes, no one can guarantee that any of the Shanyi of the Zhai Society will be greedy for us and guard against their surprise attacks.
Li Chao told Ke Shan and several stewards, "We must strengthen the collection of Shanyi intelligence and send more patrols to avoid emergencies." ” Although there were 900 defenders in Liuqiu Fort, Li Chao had already asked the stewards to train the militia for the immigrants on the island, so that they could train in formation and learn bow archery and spears in their spare time.
But what I'm afraid of is just in case, once Shanyi comes to attack, he can't be prepared, and he will also suffer heavy losses.
Ke Shan brought a hundred patrol cavalry, Li Chao brought another hundred Marine cavalry who came down from the boat, and a group of more than 200 people rushed to the nearest market.
About thirty miles from the city of Ryuqiu, there was a market.
The bazaar was set up by a river that bordered the Li family with a nearby tribe.
At the beginning, the Li family paid to buy the land from the other side of the river to the sea, and the two sides were bounded by two rivers.
The place I bought was very large, but in fact, the Li family didn't spend much money.
They paid for all kinds of commercial goods, and there were a lot of things, but in fact they were actually converted into money, and there were not much.
But the Shanyi felt that they had made a lot of money and were overjoyed.
Li Chao knew that these Shanyi people had obtained this large amount of money, and took it back to celebrate for several days, and then they kept some of it, and took the rest to trade with other tribes, making more money.
It was the sweetness that was repaid, so when Li Ji proposed to continue the deal, they were very happy.
The first bazaar was built with them.
On three occasions in January, each side came with goods, right on the river on the border between the two companies.
When a team of two hundred horsemen arrived, especially when these knights were still wearing bright iron armor and holding sharp weapons, the Shanyi in the bazaar was still in a panic.
The Shanyi men, who were dressed in bright and colorful aprons, leather coats, with bright feathers on their heads and face tattoos, clenched the antler spears in their hands one by one.
Bana was called back by his father and stepped back.
The men who had come to the market with the tribe were gathered together, and behind them were the women who followed them.
Bana clenched the antlers spear, feeling his throat dry.
The more than 200 horsemen, in his eyes, seemed to be like steel beasts.
The war horses are so tall and majestic, and those knights are so mighty and majestic.
And their armor, which reflected the light in the sun, and their weapons, which also shimmered with coldness.
He had never seen such an elite samurai.
"These people don't look like patrols."
Bard said to his companions.
"Who are they?"
"What are they going to do?"
Several Han businessmen ran over, accompanied by interpreters, and shouted to them loudly.
After listening for a while, Bard was skeptical, but the Han nobles arrived and they came to watch the transaction It wasn't until the pair of cavalrymen on the opposite side dismounted that Bard and his companions believed it.
If they really attacked, they would have rushed straight over.
A little hiccup ended, and the bazaar trading continued.
"These people have hair cuts and tattoos, and their arms are wrong, and they are all Yiren."
Fan Lubing sighed.
"Those who are Yidi and Huaxia are the Huaxia of Huaxia and those who are Yidi are Yidi."
Li Chao said with a smile.
Fan Lubing said, "King Yue, this is not the words of a sage. ” "It's really not what any saint said, that's what I said.

Yi Di Huaxia, do you think the difference is in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Wu Yue was considered a barbarian, but in the end, didn't they all become the land of Central Plains Huaxia I think that at the beginning of people, nature is good.
In fact, there is no difference between people, but for thousands of years, because of the different regions and different living environments, they have slowly formed ethnic groups and have their own language traditions and even writing customs.
Therefore, there is a difference between them, just like these mountains. ” Li Chao smiled and said, "But if we open a school and let the children of Shanyi learn our Chinese characters from an early age, so that they can accept our Chinese civilization concept from an early age, and even live in our urban area in the future, with the same lifestyle as us, then in the future, they will become a member of Huaxia."
A few generations later, their children have completely entered China and become Han people who are no different from us. ” Fan Lubing was amazed by Li Chao's concept, but he couldn't find anything to refute, and finally only held back one, "If it's not my race, its heart will be different." ” "Hehe, then do we want to kill all these people and arrest them as slaves, that's just the best way, the best way is for us to assimilate and integrate them."
"How can we assimilate and fuse them?"
"The pre-school allows the children of Shanyi to come to study for free, teach their children Chinese characters, teach them our thoughts.
For children who are willing to come to study, we not only do not charge them money, but also provide them with free food and lodging, and even give their parents some Central Plains goods as gifts every year. ” Fan Lubing was stunned on the spot. t1706231537:
