Captain Luan knew that the leaders of these indigenous tribes had a lot of inventory and the entire tribe was his asset. Even if other people got some good things, they had to give them to him.

Although I had known about this situation for a long time, I was still dumbfounded when I saw the golden gold in the cave. There were dozens of large boxes of gold.

"I've asked around. There's a gold mine nearby. Their tribe mines here specifically. This isn't something they could have accumulated in just one or two years. The chief has been accumulating this gold since his grandfather's generation."

There was a man next to him who was beaten so badly that he couldn't stand up. He was the one who was responsible for guarding the gold.

"Immediately dispatch two infantry squads, no, dispatch three infantry squads. Guard this area 24 hours a day. Anyone who dares approach this place without my order will be arrested immediately, including our own people."

Dozens of large boxes of gold are no small amount. There are also other gems and other things in it. It is equivalent to a medium-sized bank outside. Captain Luan's reaction is very normal.

After receiving the order, the soldiers under his command quickly deployed defenses around.

At the same time, the battalion commander also reported the situation here, hoping that the headquarters could find a way to transport the gold away as soon as possible. If it continues to stay here, it will be very dangerous.

Although we have cleared out all the people in our tribe, there are still several larger tribes around us. If they have any ideas about the gold, we are not afraid of fighting, but we are afraid of losing the gold.

After counting, there were a total of twenty-one tons of gold.

After hearing this number, Li Shaoyi felt a headache. People had to be transported in by plane, but if they wanted to get out, they had to wait until the simple airport was built. There was no road along the way, so even if you sent tanks there, you couldn't get out.

"Send in more personnel for a second airborne drop. Have them defend the area properly. Also, send in engineers. We must repair the airstrip in the shortest possible time."

Since it is impossible to transport the gold out, we can only send people in to defend it well. At the same time, let Governor Mandrake come forward and meet with other tribal leaders. There is such an example here. If you don’t want your tribe to be a river of blood, then hand over the people according to the list.

Before Li Shaoyi spoke, these tribal leaders did not take Li Shaoyi's words seriously. They thought that as long as they hid in the deep mountains and forests, they would be safe and they did not need to care about Li Shaoyi's orders.

But after this incident, things are different. This army is different from the Windmill Country. They don't operate on the ground at all. Instead, their planes fly directly over you, and they also have a way to let the soldiers jump down. In this case, no matter how well you hide, they can still kill you at your base camp.

Moreover, the gap in weapons between the two sides was too great. The situation of this tribe had already shown that even if the entire tribe rose up to resist, they would eventually be wiped out. So when Governor Mandrake wrote to them through special channels, these tribal leaders had to think twice.

Of course, Li Shaoyi also had to make some concessions. Cases involving tribal leaders and their close relatives had to be put on hold for the time being and some amnesty orders were given to them.

Of course, this thing was signed by Li Shaoyi, and he could also arrest you again for other reasons. The red book and iron scroll issued by the emperor in the past might not be able to save your life in the end, and could be taken back at any time. The same is true for this amnesty order.

Of course, the amnesty order is not cheap, it needs to be purchased. After learning that there is a gold mine on the island, Li Shaoyi raised the price of the amnesty order a little bit. One can be bought for ten thousand taels of gold. If you have money, you can hurry up and use the money to buy it.

After hearing the news, the local Chinese and overseas Chinese did not show much disgust. After all, wiping out all the tribes is probably not an option. Li Shaoyi's approach is already proactive, at least much better than before. Nothing can be solved at once, and a fat man cannot be made fat in one day. We have to be patient.

This is because some Chinese families have members who have joined the army. For any decree issued by Li Shaoyi outside, these soldiers would go back and explain to their families, so there was no trouble. If Li Shaoyi had stopped avenging them because of 12,000 taels of gold, these overseas Chinese would probably not be happy about it.

After you occupied Batavia, people contributed money, manpower, and effort to help you maintain your rule around you. Wasn't it all for the sake of avenging your family? If a murderer could buy his life for 10,000 taels of gold, then the surrounding Chinese and overseas Chinese would have rebelled.

Now with the explanation from the local army, these people suppressed their surging emotions and just waited at home. They knew they would take revenge sooner or later.

Newspapers in the Windmill Country reported extensively throughout Europe that Li Shaoyi had directly wiped out a tribe, distorting the facts and erasing all the things the tribe had done before, reporting Li Shaoyi as a racist.

However, the Western countries have already obtained their own interests, and no one will pay attention to what is written in the newspapers of Fengchi Country. As for Li Shaoyi, he will pay even less attention to such things. Anyway, I don’t have any fans in Fengchi Country. Do I still need a good reputation?

As for the discovery of the gold mine, Li Shaoyi had already ordered his men to block the news. No matter what the reason, the news could not be spread. If other countries heard about the gold mine, they would probably not be willing to accept the previous distribution plan.

It is no secret that Southeast Asia is rich in gold, but all of it is located in remote places. If Western countries knew about it, they would definitely come to get a piece of the pie. We might as well close the door and make money on our own.

Many Taoist scholars in China heard about what Li Shaoyi did in Southeast Asia and criticized him in some domestic newspapers, but they did not consider that the lives of Chinese and overseas Chinese before were even more miserable than this.

Looking at the newspapers that have been published in the country, Li Shaoyi snorted coldly. These well-protected Taoist scholars should be allowed to go to Southeast Asia to experience such a life and see if they can still say similar things.

Counting the days, it's time for me to go back. Perhaps those clowns have forgotten my iron-fisted approach...
