"Captain, look, Yang Tou and the others have sent a signal."

The sound of arrows rang out in the distance, and a Tiger Flag soldier pointed in the direction of the bandit's stronghold.

The captain of the soldiers on the side turned around and said to the tiger-character flag soldiers behind him: "Leave one small team to guard the cart, and the other two small teams of soldiers will attack the mountain stronghold with me."

The escort of the convoy was the size of a squadron, with more than 100 people, and the two squads combined totaled more than 70 people.

A team of more than 70 people went up the mountain, and there was a lot of commotion. However, the bandits in the mountain stronghold did not notice that anyone had touched the mountain stronghold. There were no bandits standing guard at the bottom of the mountain. It was not until the soldiers of the Tiger Character Banner arrived outside the stronghold that they were captured.

The bandits noticed.

"Quick, go and inform the boss that someone is coming to attack our village."

Facing the heavily armed soldiers with the Tiger Flag, each firecracker had already been lit and the match ropes were lit. The bandits in the village could not guess that these people were enemies who came to attack the village.

Bang!

The sound of firecrackers being fired resounded in the village, followed by many more firecrackers, and the sound became one.

A few dozen steps away, the unsuspecting bandits in the village were hit one by one with fire cannons, and a dozen of them were killed on the spot by fire cannons.

Some of the bandits who were lucky ran into the house in advance and escaped, while some bandits lay on the ground and hid behind the bodies of their companions.

The squadron leader of the Tiger-Character Banner shouted: "Kill the bandits and leave no one behind!"

A team, led by the captain of the team, rushed into the mountain stronghold and rushed towards the bandit's stable.

Seize the stable and the animals inside in advance to guard against bandits escaping down the mountain on horseback.

Several other teams of soldiers also dispersed, blocked the rooms in the stronghold, and began to search for bandits inside. If they saw anyone alive, they would kill them with either a bludgeon or a knife.

The squadron leader led a team of men to guard outside the stronghold to guard against bandits taking advantage of the chaos and escaping.

The battle lasted only more than a quarter of an hour.

A mountain stronghold with dozens of people was quickly destroyed under the siege of more than 70 Tiger Flag soldiers.

Yang Yuan was helped out of the cottage hall.

It wasn't that he didn't want to walk on his own, it was just that the medicine was too strong and he couldn't exert any strength. His legs felt like they were stepping on cotton and his body slid to the ground.

"Director, all the bandits have been wiped out, and there are no casualties among our soldiers." The squadron leader of the soldiers came to Yang Yuan to report.

This battle was so sudden that the bandits were completely unprepared. Facing the well-trained Tiger Flag soldiers, they were wiped out without even a decent resistance.

Yang Yuan said feebly: "You did a good job. I will ask you for credit later, as well as the experience of this battle. We will also sort out the documents and send them to the Attendance Department for filing."

"Yes, I understand." The squadron leader agreed, and then said, "Director, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Yang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let your medicine knock you out, just take it easy and it will be fine. You arrange for people to bury the body, and take away everything that can be taken away from the village.

Take away or burn any useless things on the spot.”

"Yes, my subordinates will make arrangements right now." The squadron leader said again, "Director, there is one more thing. Our people found a woman in the village who was caught by bandits in the village. What should we do with it?

?”

Yang Yuan said: "Have you asked me yet?"

"She fainted from fear before she could ask questions. Before she fainted, she said she was Xu Juren's daughter," said the squadron leader.

A person next to Yang Yuan said: "It should be Xu Juren's daughter who was captured by the bandits."

"Since she is Xu Juren's daughter, take her with you, come down the mountain with us, and deliver her to Butler Xu." Yang Yuan said to the people around him.

"But Yangtou, your body..."

"It's okay. You'll be fine after the medicine has passed. Let's go down the mountain first. Leave the matters here to the soldiers."

Yang Yuan was helped out of the mountain stronghold by his men, and the woman was also taken down the mountain together.

Not long after they left the mountain stronghold, a fire broke out on the mountain.

The fire was more than half burned, and a convoy with a tiger-shaped flag left from the road at the foot of the mountain.

……………………

"This is Taiyuan Island?"

Zheng Tie looked at the situation in front of him with a look of amazement.

He had a monocular telescope in his hand. Wherever he could see, the villages were connected together, and there were figures entering and leaving the villages.

Li Guoshu said with a smile: "My father has sent someone to send a message to Yan Siqi. The people of the Tiger Flag can temporarily live in Yan Siqi's village. When the new village is built, they will move out of Yan Siqi's village."

"Please also ask the eldest son to take me to thank Mr. Li." Zheng Tie gratefully extended his hand to Li Guozhu.

Li Guozhu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zheng, you are very polite. Now that you and I have cooperated, there is no need to be so arrogant. However, one thing needs to be made clear. Although Yan Siqi is nominally my father's subordinate, he has the intention to monopolize Dajuan Island.

Shopkeeper Zheng's establishment of a stronghold on Da Yuan Island is tantamount to usurping Yan Siqi's territory, which may cause Yan Siqi's displeasure."

After hearing this, Zheng Tie's eyes narrowed and he immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, eldest son, our Tiger Character Banner has no intention of occupying Da Yuan Island. I don't think there will be any conflict with Master Yan."

"Haha, that's good." Li Guozhu's laughter was mixed with a hint of embarrassment.

"Ashore." The sailor on the ship shouted.

A group of people got off the boat and came to the shore.

Before they could go to Yan Siqi's village, they were stopped on the shore of the port by a group of Han people armed with weapons.

Seeing this scene, Li Guozhu's face darkened.

Zheng Tie was followed by hundreds of people, including soldiers and insiders. However, many of these people were riding on a boat for the first time. After being on a boat for so long, there was no fighting ability. They basically needed someone to support them.

To stand firm.

However, the dozens of soldiers who had been to Hirado before did not feel much discomfort. They took out the sabers on their waists and stood in front of them, facing the Han people on the island.

"I am Li Guozhu, where is your head Yan?" Li Guozhu asked with a gloomy face.

He didn't believe that Yan Siqi didn't receive the letter from his father, but something like this still happened. He couldn't guess that this was a threat from Yan Siqi to him. To be more precise, it was a threat to people like Tiger Flag.

"It turns out to be Mr. Li." A man stood out from the crowd, raised his hand to Li Guozhu, and said, "Master Li, wait a moment, Rong Xiao sent someone to invite our chief master to come over."

"No need, I will go to the village to meet you, Mr. Yan." Li Guozhu said in a stiff tone.

The man said: "It's natural for the eldest son to go to the village, but these people brought by the eldest son must stay here for the time being."

"What do you mean?" Li Guozhu said with a dark face, "Is it possible that the guests invited by my Li family can't go to the island?"

"My lord, please calm down."

The man bowed but had no intention of giving in.

Li Guozhu said angrily: "Find Yan Siqi for me. I want to see when this Dajuan Island became his Yan Siqi's."
