"I announce the ban on our Jinshan Town for the next period of time. No one is allowed to leave the town, farmers, hunters, and fishermen without permission to work, they must form a team to go out. Moreover, at least two of the people who go out have muskets, and others can bring hatchets. In addition, during this period of time, hunters, fishermen must not stay away from the town more than twenty miles away, so as not to enter the sphere of influence of the indigenous tribes! Those who are attacked without complying with the ban on orders will bear the consequences!"

"At night, someone should patrol to protect the safety of our town! Implement a rotating rest system, take turns to watch, and each five people form a team, and at least three teams should be vigilant every night. Once the enemy situation is discovered, the gong will be beaten! Not only our soldiers, but each of us has the responsibility to protect the land we survive!"

"Our soldiers will also strengthen their protection of the town. The sentries of the fortress will have a bird's eye view of the entire town during the day. When they find traces of the natives, they will sound the trumpet as soon as possible. A team of thirty people will be stationed in the town, divided into two shifts to practice day and night to prepare for the battle. There will also be a team of five soldiers patrolling the established route within twenty miles around the town to form a comprehensive defense system."

Cao Bianjiao summoned all the villagers of Jinshan Town to announce to them new regulations for special periods.

Because the hunting team was attacked by an indigenous tribe, the residents of Jinshan Town are now full of soldiers and panic, and Cao Bianjiao had to implement strict protection measures to survive this difficult period.

"We dismantled the two cannons on the ship, and there were twenty shells. The natives would be shocked by the sound of artillery." Zheng Zhihu directly pulled two twelve-pound cannons to the entrance of the town. The cold and empty guns made people feel a little scared.

After seeing the cannon, everyone seemed to be less nervous. The other party was just a clan tribe that ate raw meat and drank blood, but they had already reached the firearm civilization. Are they still afraid of backward civilization? The threat to them by the diseases brought by nature is even more terrifying than such small-scale conflicts.

Although the traces of the indigenous tribes were found, it was useless to worry about it. They still had to live their lives in the New World.

The injured team members in the hunting team gradually improved after a high fever and had no worries about their lives. The natives seemed to disappear after that incident, as if they had disappeared.

Cao Bianjiao and Zheng Zhihu were even more sure that the reason why the hunting team was attacked by local indigenous tribes last time was because they accidentally went deep into the canyon and broke into the sphere of influence of the local tribes.

Because of this incident, Cao Bianjiao, Zheng Zhihu and the others had to temporarily delay their plan to go upstream along the Sacramento River to find gold mines.

Until half a month passed, Jinshan Town was calm and calm. After the shadows of the indigenous tribes in everyone's hearts dissipated, Cao Bianjiao, Zheng Zhihu and others reorganized a more streamlined expedition team and prepared to look for riverbeds rich in gold mines.

"Is the two mineral experts, seven sailors and soldiers, and the two of us, a team of 11 people in total, streamlined enough?" Zheng Zhihu arranged the personnel list during this period.

"No, you stay here... People's hearts are still unstable now, and a strong person needs to manage them here, otherwise there may be chaos, especially when the indigenous tribes really attacked, they are even more panicked. After all, many people here are farmers and herders who have never been to the battlefield. They are good at planting crops and grazing, but once they encounter a vicious enemy, even if the other party is holding a stone axe and musket in their hands, they are likely to turn around and run away." Cao Bianjiao said worriedly.

"Good guy, I spent so much effort to help you build ships and select suitable sailors. I didn't expect you to leave me to find gold. Well, I can only admit that I was unlucky and stayed." Zheng Zhihu was a little disappointed that he could not participate in the adventure, but he also realized that Jinshan Town needed a commander at this time, and he and Cao Bianjiao had to stay in Jinshan Town to command the townsmen.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zheng, it is not that easy to find gold, and this is the gold of the military. I want to check the list of the gold expedition team." Cao Bianjiao said.

"Mineral experts were sent by the military. They knew what kind of terrain could easily enrich gold. The other sailors were good men collected from the Nanyang Fleet." Zheng Zhihu said.

"In addition to these people, we also need a doctor and a hound." Cao Bianjiao said after looking at the personnel list.

"Didn't there a woman named Li Yizhu in Jinshan Town who knows medical skills? She also raised two giant dogs on her behalf. They didn't know what breed they were. They grew so big in a few months, and they didn't look completely mature and could be even bigger. I think they would be very qualified hunting dogs. Why don't you see if she is willing to participate in this adventure mission? People who came from the Agricultural College should be very familiar with forest plants, and maybe they can help you a lot." Zheng Zhihu thought of such a person and said to Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao naturally knew Li Yizhu. The two Caucasian puppies he obtained from the customs officials of Yokohama Port were handed over to Li Yizhu for feeding. Now the two Caucasian dogs have basically recognized Li Yizhu as their master, but they are alienated from Cao Bianjiao, which makes Cao Bianjiao depressed.

"I'll ask her if she would like to join the gold-looking expedition team. If she agrees, then she will strictly keep the gold mine secret." Cao Bianjiao said.

At this time, Li Yizhu was helping two large Caucasian dogs wash their hair by the river. After half a year of growth, the two Caucasian puppies have become very impressive. Their fluffy skin and hair originated from the Caucasian region are very dense. After she knew that Cao Bianjiao and their expedition team lacked doctors, she agreed without saying a word.

"Are you saying that Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui also want to participate in the expedition team?" Li Yizhu asked while washing one of the Caucasian dogs.

"I think if the expedition team had two hunting dogs, they should be able to help, especially with their excellent sense of smell, which could detect wild animals and enemies in advance." Cao Bianjiao no longer dared to fight with them at will after the Caucasian dogs grew up. This giant dog could stand up as tall as him.

"However, our newly formed expedition team is to carry out the confidential mission given to us by the military headquarters. If you want to participate in the expedition team, it will be recorded in the file and you must keep what you see and hear during the mission, otherwise you will be sent to the military court for trial." Cao Bianjiao reminded.
