"My god, my god, let me fight!" On October 4, 1689, outside Shatang Township, Captain Xiao Guang picked up a rifle and shot forward.

There were many bandits fighting against the river beside the opposite river beside the bushes. These birds were getting more and more courageous and dared to rob the government's transportation team. Is this life worthless? Mr. Xiao has been serving for many years and has been to many places before coming to Tuanjie River Basin, but he has never encountered such an arrogant bandit.

The Tuanjie River Basin is really a place beyond the fragmentation! The bankrupt gold diggers, lazy hooligans, profit-seeking bandits, and Tupi Indians who came out of some old forest, each regards the government and the East Coast Gold Company's transportation team as a hot commodity, and wants to pounce on them and take a bite.

It would be fine if the transportation team of the East Coast Gold Company was transported, and they were all high-value items. Whether it was the mining, smelting of gold, chemicals, or the boxes of gold bricks and gold coins transported back, they were enough to make people take risks. They went up and fucked him, and immediately disappeared after they succeeded, "hiding deep and famous."

However, in recent years, as more and more people have flocked to the Tuanjie River Basin, even the public transport of food and daily necessities has been snatched. It is really too much! It seems that the country is too conservative and confident to mobilize a mixed basin to the Tuanjie River Basin. This is a huge challenge for them to sprinkle pepper on the vast land of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. They are simply like sprinkling pepper on the noodles. Even if the security teams from the five counties south of Zhuo River have been mobilized to take turns to guard the north, it is far from enough, because there are more people than before, and perhaps tens of thousands of people are pouring in. This is an overly difficult challenge for them, and they cannot effectively manage the public security here.

But no matter how tight the troops are, the government transport team was attacked on the main road - well, the standard of this road is very low, and even the third-class national highway is not considered a third-class highway - which is unacceptable! Perhaps because their team has only more than forty armed police escorted it, maybe the bandits got the wrong information and believed that there were high-value commodities in the team. In short, they came and launched a sudden attack on them.

The armed police launched a counterattack at the first time. At this time, four of them had already fallen down. At the same time, a guide and a groom, and an engineer were shot and injured. There was no worse start than this. Therefore, Xiao Guang was very angry and launched a counterattack with the rest.

The police's counterattack was effective. They were well trained and had excellent psychological quality. They quickly calmed down from the chaos at the beginning and used various bunkers to fight back. Other non-combatants from schools and government agencies in the team calmed down very well. Gradually, they opened their bags, took out long and short guns from them, and began to load medicine and ammunition, ready to fight back at any time.

"Come on, bring the cannon!" Xiao Guang, who was hiding behind a big tree, fired a shot and then roared.

The team brought an ultra-light 30mm caliber cannon, which can fire shotguns, or fire bombs or solid bombs. It is also light in weight, reflecting the advanced military manufacturing level of the East Coast. At least half of the more than 40 armed police officers were retired from the army. This is a new policy that has only been introduced in the past two years. Now, it perfectly reflects the effect: two policemen dropped their rifles, rolled and climbed to the front of the cannon, untied the ropes on the cannon, and then called two grooms to help them push the cannon out, then loaded the medicine and loaded the bullet.

"Boom!" A solid shell flew out of the cannon barrel, and then rushed into a big tree with a thousand pounds. There were several bandits firing guns. The direct shells were not intended to have a thick trunk, but were bounced to the side, and then jumped several times, rubbed a bandit and took his thigh away, and finally hit a small cart next to it, causing the things on it to scatter all over the floor.

"Boom!" The second shell quickly flew out of the cannon barrel again. This time the gunner specially cut the lead of the shell short, causing it to explode the moment it landed. The scattered fragments immediately caused terrifying damage. At least four bandits fell to the ground screaming and lost their combat effectiveness.

The two shells followed one after another and made the bandits who were still shooting arrogantly on the other side pause, and then were shouts of fear and scolding. Xiao Guang knew that they were cowardly and were shaken! In a battle, whether there was a cannon or not, the result was really different. The God of War only exerted twice, and immediately reversed the situation and gave the police the upper hand.

The transportation team brought light small cannons on the road, which was only in recent times. From this we can also see how the public security in the Tuanjie River Basin has deteriorated to the point. The army and militia need to focus on protecting several new settlements established. Dongjin Company has enough to maintain itself and is unable to take into account other places. Then the situation is deteriorating.

Xiao Guang's transportation team brought a full ton of gold to Fangshan Township this time. Now it seems that there is no news leaking, which has led to bandits taking risks to attack them. After returning to this matter, we must investigate it thoroughly. However, what we need most at present is to rush to another settlement dozens of kilometers away as soon as possible and borrow some people from the local army stationed in the area. Even if one of them is good, this can greatly increase their safety factor.

"Boom! Boom!" The artillery continued to show its power, but the bandits were already scared and were a little at a loss. Wang Laohu's strong strength was destroyed by the "Blue Skin". Now, although there are only some black skins in front of him, they actually carry cannons, which is not something they can compete with! Moreover, from the short shots just now, it can be seen that there must be retired blue skin masters in these black skins, so it's even more to fart, saving their lives is important!

So, the gunshots of both sides quickly became sparse. Xiao Guang, who was hiding behind the tree, was very sensitive. He suddenly realized that the desperate people were about to retreat when they saw the idea! He was determined to pursue, but he also thought that there was more than a ton of gold in the convoy, so he finally suppressed his thoughts and put the gun in the direction of the bandits' retreat a few times before he gave up.

"If it weren't for these national property, I would never let you go!" After sending someone to inspect the gangster's corpses, Xiao Guang visited his wounded again - unfortunately, the mechanical engineer might need amputation - and then sat on a powder barrel and said irritably.

The results of the corpse examination came out soon. A policeman ran over panting and told Xiao Guang that there were several Latin-faced corpses inside, suspected that they were Portuguese, which made Xiao Guang very worried.

He could basically conclude that those people must be Portuguese, at least from Portuguese Brazil. It is no secret that many gold mines were found in the Tuanjie River Basin, and many people in Portuguese Brazil know it. After all, the main stream of the Tuanjie River winds northward, and finally enters the sea in the Bahia General Region of Portuguese Brazil. When Portugal ruled Eastern Brazil, their officials set out from San Salvador (the capital of Portuguese Brazil), then went upstream along the Tuanjie River, and finally arrived in Sao Paulo and other places to take office. In other words, this is a mature route from Portuguese Brazil to the eastern coast of Beining. It is normal for Portuguese to come over.

Xiao Guang even suspected that among the tens of thousands of gold diggers scattered in the Tuanjie River basin, a considerable number of them were from the Kingdom of Portugal. The Eastern Coast Republic has very weak control over this area, and Europeans have a religious enthusiasm for gold. It is strange that they do not flock to find gold.

"The Portuguese have all come over, so will the Italians, French, Germans and even English people come over in the future? With the backward management system of Portugal, these crazy gold diggers can probably come to Duanjie River to hunt gold without any obstacles. As long as one person makes a fortune and then goes to San Salvador - this is almost inevitable - then the effect will soon rise, attracting more and more European poverty-stricken people to come over to hunt gold. The security situation in this gold mining area will probably worsen. A mere mixed battalion plus two thousand militias will not be able to conquer the place, and we must think of a way." Xiao Guang thought for a long time and even thought about how to deal with the increasing number of Chinese and foreign gold diggers.

He remembered the news that a friend in the Army Department told him. The Army is now planning a "business tax reform regiment", that is, to reorganize the existing twelve mixed battalions into mixed regiments one after another to increase the strength and voice of the army. At present, there are only two mixed regiments in the East Coast Army, which are in the hands of two bigwigs, Guo Handong and Yang Liang. At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Mao Jun's Portuguese garrison can barely be counted as one. It is estimated that the title of "temporary third regiment" will be given in the future, and there will be no other.

This deterioration of the security situation in the Tuanjie River Basin is actually a good opportunity. If the upper-level army is smart enough, it will ask the military headquarters to increase troops here, and then change its organization, and add 1-2 mixed regiments to legitimately expand the strength of the continental army.

Now the East Coast Republic of China has more than 7 million citizens, and its land area is getting bigger and bigger, and the situation it faces is becoming increasingly complex. It is indeed a bit unsatisfactory to rely on a mere twelve mixed battalions to guard the four directions. It is time to continue to advance the work of the BAT reform regiment. After all, the Navy has expanded its army first. Why should we look down on the army? Do we play double standards?

Moreover, the Navy has occupied the throne of the Chief of Staff of the Military Headquarters for a long time, right? It is time for the army to change to the army to sit down. Everyone is the armed forces of the country and they all fight for the interests of the East Coast. Why is the army like a stepmother? Some opportunities should be used well!
