0378 Stand still

If it is according to the normal historical development, I am afraid that Liang Jinsheng and others will be the first to take refuge in the Japanese people. Maybe in the future, they will even change their surnames to the surnames of the Japanese people and become one of the local magnates. When the time comes, the whole family will stand on the head of the people of the Ryukyus. So at this time, it is naturally not unacceptable for the whole family to be killed.

In a short period of time, more than 200 people were slaughtered. There is a river of blood on the field, and the smell of blood is overwhelming! The bodies will be buried, but the heads will not be buried. It is also necessary to spread the first word to all places, so that everyone can see the consequences of betraying the country.

Seeing that everyone had been executed, Liu Pei stepped forward to the high platform again. The high platform was full of blood, and every step was slippery and greasy. However, Liu Pei saw too much blood and didn't care. He raised his hands to signal silence. When the crowd quieted down, he said loudly: "These traitors have already been beheaded. Then, the law-abiding people should also benefit! I am here to officially announce that all Ryukyu citizens are exempt from tax for three years! ”

When the people in the audience heard the news, they were silent at first, and then there was a landslide and tsunami-like scream. Whether it was a wealthy merchant or a villager, they all desperately let out all kinds of roars, and even rushed to the high platform, but fortunately, Liu Pei's family members did a good job and blocked these people.

After a while, everyone calmed down, and the people began to question what Liu Pei said. Liu Pei can even see the suspicious eyes of the audience. Liu Pei then said loudly: "I say that if I don't collect taxes for three years, I won't collect taxes." But each and every one of you must obey the law and do your duty! Otherwise, there would be no such good thing! And if you don't believe it, there will be a notice posted tomorrow, and everyone will know at a glance. ”

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the audience. However, Liu Pei ignored them anymore and got off the high platform directly. Liu Pei gave everyone tax exemption this time, which was purely a slap in the face to give a sweet date.

First of all, he is an outsider, and his foundation is unstable. It takes time to establish your prestige. Secondly, as soon as he arrived here, he went on a killing spree, not counting the Japanese people, he killed more than 200 people among the locals alone. I am afraid that the impression left on the minds of the people is not very good, which will not be conducive to their future rule of the Ryukyus. So he had to change his image in the minds of the people.

The most important point is that there are still many people who are very confused and dissatisfied with his succession to the position of Ryukyu king. Liu Pei's three-year tax exemption is aimed at this point. At least in the next three years, most of them will not oppose him. And after three years, Liu Pei's rule over the Ryukyus was already very strong. At that time, even if someone wants to do something, I'm afraid it's too late. And these villagers are the best at forgetting, and after three years, they must have almost forgotten about the Shang Dynasty.

The next day. Countless villagers flocked to the camp to see the notices. Sure enough, Liu Pei wrote a notice and posted it on a small kiosk outside the camp. The kiosk itself is dedicated to announcing various official announcements.

Everyone saw a huge sign posted on the pavilion, which was also stamped with a red seal. The villagers asked literate people to read it. After the literate people read it, they told everyone that it was written about three years of tax exemption. The large seal covered underneath is the seal of the Ryukyu King. This seal was found by the householders from the ruins of the palace.

The villagers gathered around the small pavilion and talked a lot. Someone said, "This new king is really resolute!" Really gave us three years of good life! ”

"That's it! King Shang has never had such a good thing before! It's better to be the new king! ”

"I heard that King Shang divided half of the land to the new king in exchange for the new king's expulsion of the Japanese people, is this true?"

"Of course it's true! If this were not the case, who would be willing to fight to the death with the Japanese people? You are not blind to how many people died on the battlefield yesterday! The land is dyed red! ”

"It's a pity that King Shang was unlucky and died at the hands of the Japanese people!"

"That's right! But I wonder when our new king will ascend the throne? ”

While the villagers were discussing, they had unconsciously substituted Liu Pei into the new position of the king of the Ryukyus. Just after Liu Pei threw out the three-year tax exemption, the hearts of the people have been completely biased towards him.

To be honest, Liu Pei really didn't look down on the Ryukyus tax. Among these taxes, there is also a little use for food. But Liu Pei is not short of silver now, if there is a shortage of food, it is enough to buy it directly from the people. This move immediately established Liu Pei's image among the people.

Soon after Liu Pei returned to the camp, Liu Jiang ran in with a smile. said: "Master, you have such a good idea! I listened to the crowd for a long time just now, and these people all called the head of the family the new king! It seems that this Ryukyu is standing on our feet! ”

Liu Pei also sighed when he heard this, and said, "That's good!" But you can't let up. You're going to keep an eye on this Ryukyu! The original officials said that they still had to do things up and down! If there is such a person, you will be arrested directly, and the whole family will be sent into slavery, and the family property and land will be confiscated. Don't let them ruin our reputation. ”

Liu Jiang listened and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the head of the family!" I have left a lot of people here, and I will definitely be able to keep an eye on them, and not a single one of them will be able to escape! ”

Liu Pei said: "In the next few days, you have to send people to talk to those Japanese captives." See which of them can be bought to do fine work. Who is willing to stay and work for us. If you're willing to work for us, it's okay to stay. ”

Liu Jiang said: "Family master, can we believe these Japanese warriors? ”

Liu Pei said: "At first, you must not believe it all. After a long time, you will be able to believe it. In addition, wouldn't there be a means to hold them hostage if they brought their families in? ”

Liu Jiang said: "But the tactics of these people are different from those of our family members. It's not good if it's forcibly accommodated. ”

Liu Pei said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have my own arrangements. ”

In fact, at this time, the Japanese samurai were still trustworthy. Now there is relative peace within the Wa Kingdom, and there is no war. Many daimyo sake no longer hired samurai, which left many samurai without a master and had to become ronin. As a result, these samurai wandered around like stray dogs all day long, and some of them were so brave and fierce that they even stole chickens and dogs, causing chaos in the local area. So they are all trying to find a new home where they can live without food and clothing.

At this time, they are not warmly clothed and do not have enough to eat. There were even many samurai who had to go to the docks to work hard and earn a little money. As long as they are given enough salaries, these samurai are still very useful. At the same time, the samurai had a tradition of being loyal to the main family, and rarely betrayed the interests of the main family. So Liu Pei wasn't worried about them rebelling.

And Liu Pei also thought about setting up a Japanese army in the future. It is used in the attack on Southeast Asia. These Japanese warriors were skilled in close combat, strong in martial arts, and ruthless. They are best used to clear the jungle of the natives.

And jungle warfare is very difficult, not so easy to fight. Often, even if it is a victory, there will be heavy casualties! Therefore, Liu Pei used Japanese warriors to fight jungle warfare, and it was more distressing to die than to be distressed, and it cost some silver at most.

Just like in the desert, human beings face only thirst, heat, poisonous snakes, scorpions, and so on. And in the middle of the jungle, everything you see is your enemy! You can't drink water if you have it. Because the water is soaked in a large number of decaying animal and plant carcasses, you will have diarrhea after drinking it. There was no sun in the jungle yet, and the sun was humid. If you stay for a long time, your skin will fester. There are countless small insects in the jungle, most of which are poisonous, and it is impossible to prevent people from biting!

Just like the United States was fighting Vietnam back then, they spent so much energy and money into it, but there was no result. It's because in the rainforest, those American GIs are facing not only opponents, but also the entire rainforest! In the end, Lao Mei had no choice, and Lao Mei put Agent Orange (a highly effective defoliant agent in the rainforest, so it is called "Agent Orange" because the logo stripe of its container is orange). Also known as defoliant, defoliant, deciduous orange, is a highly effective tree killer. There's no way to take the Vietnamese little devils.
