Chapter 108 Counterattack

The camp was all built with simple wooden houses. The one where Ling Qingyu lived was located in the middle. At this time, Zhu Weili, Shi Fang, Zhou Tan, Huang Jing and others were drinking tea around the fire pit. There was a pile of shining silver bars next to them. .

At midnight, everyone waiting by the fire pit was fast asleep. Yan San stood up, raised his middle finger and shushed Ye Shiyi, who opened his eyes at the same time.

Ling Qingyu, who was sleeping soundly on the chair, hummed and continued to sleep soundly.

Gently opening the corner of the window, a gust of cold wind blew in. Except for the lights in the main house, the rest of the camp was dark.

The grass outside the camp fence rippled, and Yan San unconsciously had a sneer on his lips.

The fence gate of the camp was wide open, and behind the fence was an empty space. The bags piled around were silent under the cold moonlight.

"No, why is there no movement inside?" An Inca warrior crouched in the grass said softly.

"Sleep to death," another Inca warrior wiped the bronze sword in his hand and said with a little disdain: "They are all a group of timid aliens. Only Gulu and the others listen to their words. This place was originally our Sun God. In the place of descendants, what kind of messenger of the sun god, bah."

"Actually, that envoy is really nice to people." The Inca warrior said with a pity.

"Stop thinking nonsense. The clan leader said that she will be captured to sacrifice to the gods." The Inca warrior holding the bronze sword sneered at him.

"Stop talking." An Inca warrior wearing a feather on his head crawled over, then waved his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Enter."

Hundreds of figures jumped out from the grass and rushed towards the wide open fence gate. Some of them rushed in through the gate, some climbed over the fence, and some lit the torches in their hands and headed towards the camp. Throw it on the cabin.

The fire burst into flames.

"Aren't we going out?" A tribal warrior who was friends with Gulu asked, the spear in his hand tapping lightly on the ground.

"Wait." Gulu waved his hand to keep him quiet. Although he said he wanted to cooperate with Ling Qingyu, he also wanted to see her strength. The Incas advocated force and obeyed the brave. This was a test. If she could not show herself as the messenger of the sun god, strength, then he wouldn't mind taking a bite.

The flames jumped on several wooden houses, making the camp red. The Incas rushed quickly. After entering the camp, they began to search everywhere. The group in the middle rushed towards the lighted house in the middle of the camp. .

Their footsteps were still dozens of meters away from the house. From the roofs of the surrounding wooden houses, behind the wooden houses, and from behind some piles of wood around the camp, many men in black emerged. Their black clothes blended into the night. The arrowhead in his hand was flashing with light.

"Shoot!" Song Yu gave the order, and arrows rained down on the Incas.

After three rounds of arrow rain, a pile of corpses had fallen on the ground.

"Brothers, kill!" Ram shouted, sweeping down from the roof, and the scimitar flashed across the neck of an Inca.

Song Yu, Chucheng, Ram Shenzhan and his men were divided into four quarters. Seeing that most of the Incas had already entered the open space in front of the camp, they threw away their bows and arrows, unsheathed their long swords, and went up to meet them.

This was a one-sided killing. The bronze weapons of the Incas could not block their blows at all. Moreover, these aliens advanced and retreated in a well-established manner. They formed groups of three and five, and surrounded them from all sides. The flying swords were like minced meat. Like a machine, they forced the Inca to the open space in the middle of the camp.

There were some Incas who had slipped through the net and ran out with pale faces, but were beheaded by a few black shadows flying over.

In just a short moment, all the Incas in the camp were strangled.

Gulu's face was also pale, and his hand that was about to push the door began to tremble. Did I open the door of God or the door of devil?

"Gulu, you are right, they are real warriors! Messengers of the Sun God!" Incas from other tribes patted Gulu on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

Yes, they faced the enemy openly and openly, without any conspiracy and tricks, and with absolute force. These are the real warriors and the real strong men. And how could the person who can command such a group of strong men not be the messenger of the Sun God!

Gulu opened the door and saw the tall foreigner looking over coldly. He quickly put down the weapons in his hands to show his surrender. The other Incas also put down their weapons. Facing these people who usually looked honest and amiable, they now The murderous alien showed a sincere smile.

When Ling Qingyu woke up in the morning, the outside had been cleaned up, and representatives of the rebellious tribes had also arrived. Originally, they came to discuss how to carve up the Silver Mountain, but who knew that they were actually facing nearly a thousand people from several tribes? The troops were all wiped out, and they were now identifying their corpses outside and waiting to hear the judgment of the Sun God's messenger.

There are more than ten tribes around Cerro Rico Mountain. The Gulu tribe is actually quite far away. There are five tribes that resisted this time. There are five tribes that are willing to surrender to the messenger of the Sun God like Gulu. Seeing this situation, he immediately notified the clan to express his surrender.

Ling Qingyu didn't see that battle, but looking at the result, he knew that the battle at night must have been one-sided, otherwise these proud Incas would not have surrendered so completely.

The remaining members of the five rebellious tribes were made slaves of Gulu's five tribes. For the other tribes, Ling Qingyu accepted their surrender and oath and became their nominal leader.

If they don't take the wrong route, it will be less than ten days from Cerro Rico Mountain to where they landed. The Incas' construction technology is actually very superb. Ling Qingyu asked Gulu to arrange for people to build a road to the seaside and build a building on the seaside. At the simple port, the packed refining tools were dismantled and the refining plant was rebuilt.

"Is it really okay?" Huang Jing asked still worried.

"Their respect for God is absolute. I think at least there will be no betrayal when these patriarchs are alive. However, when Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhou taught them, the language was not easy to communicate. It was enough for them to refine it. "Ling Qingyu looked at the busy Incas and said.

"Master, we are willing to stay here." Several tall men walked out from behind Song Yu and said with cupped hands.

Ling Qingyu recognized these people as Haizhou refugees who came with Song Yu and the others, and asked doubtfully: "Stay here?"

"They are furnace owners originally, and they have been with us for so long. With them here, we are not afraid that we will not be able to refine high-purity silver." Zhou Tan nodded.

"The boss just remembers to send a boat to pick us up later." Seeing that Ling Qingyu still had hesitation on his face, the leader smiled. The silver reserves here are so rich that they have never heard of them before. If these Inca people rely solely on them, the refining speed will be very slow. They come from a furnace family and can see such a large silver mountain with their own eyes. They are lucky enough to stay here. This can also solve the problem of being a master, not to mention.

"A few of them have taken a liking to the girls in that village and want to start a family here." Song Yu said with a smile.

That's it. Ling Qingyu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will send ships over regularly. Whenever you want to go home, just go back with the ship."

He appointed the man named Lin Dan and Gulu as his spokesperson in front of the tribal chiefs, and agreed with each tribe on the date, number and remuneration of laborers to be sent to Yinshan to work. Ling Qingyu also replaced the remaining men. They proposed to their sweethearts and used all the silk and porcelain they brought with them as betrothal gifts.

The house in the camp became their new house. Looking at the couples standing there, Ling Qingyu said sincerely: "Congratulations to you. I hope that next time I come here, this can become your own village." Then it will become a city. , the largest silver capital in the world.

Since it is already a long-term stronghold and has its own people, it is necessary to have a long-term plan. Ling Qingyu did not take the troops back immediately, but began to make a detailed refinery plan, because mercury refining methods mostly rely on water conservancy to operate. , Ling Qingyu racked his brains to draw the layout he saw when he visited the last world.

In the next few days, the refining plant was in full swing again. Huang Jing led people to explore the feasibility and implementation plan of the water conservancy layout drawn by Ling Qingyu, while Zhou Tan led people to search for mineral veins. What is currently being mined are open-pit mineral veins, but in the future they will definitely To go deep into the Yinshan Mountains and the layout of the mines, Zhou Tan was prepared to do it all at once.

After those tribes surrendered, their enthusiasm became much higher. Since there was no threat, the people on Ling Qingyu's side did things much faster. The cooperation between the two sides accelerated the refining of silver several times.

When Huang Jing and Zhou Tan's plans came out, Ling Qingyu frowned unconsciously. This was no small project. Of course, the Spanish capital in the previous life also took decades to build, but it was just such a rough calculation. Down, a lot of manpower is needed.

"Envoy," Gulu said from the side: "There are many tribes in the Andes. If the envoy is willing, I am willing to discuss labor matters with them on behalf of the envoy."

After getting along for a while, Gulu's language ability has been fully utilized. Basically, he can communicate with Ling Qingyu in Inca plus Dazhou language and gestures quite normally. When he has time, he even learns Dazhou script from him.

"Oh?" Ling Qingyu raised his eyebrows. Although the tribes in the Andes Mountains at this period were scattered and had not yet become a unified country, the population was indeed large. There were only a dozen tribes. The big tribes had thousands of people, and the small tribes had thousands of people. There are several hundred people in the tribe, and in such a small area, there are tens of thousands of people.

"The messenger's cloth can be used as a reward. If a tribe provides one hundred laborers for two months, it can give one piece of cloth and one hundred pieces of porcelain as reward." Gulu said. He now understood that the piece of cloth was cut from pieces of cloth, and each piece of cloth was much larger.

so cheap? There are thousands of bolts of silk and tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain on board the Fengshen. How much labor can it pay for? Ling Qingyu made some calculations and said, "I remember there is a tribe in Cusco that is very powerful?"

"They have more people." Gulu laughed. By the way, the envoy liked shiny things very much, whether silver or gold. He smiled and said: "They have a lot of gold there. If the envoy is willing, I will You can bring cloth to trade with them.”

Ling Qingyu immediately beamed with joy, and her joyful look made several people around her blush for her. "Master, can you please stop acting like such a money slave!"
