Chapter 658: The Slave Trade
Dictatorship has an advantage, that is, it can concentrate all its strength to do a big thing, Zhen Qian is not crazy enough to talk to the ancients about human rights and freedom, isn't this uncomfortable for himself?
The reason why the Wufeng Islands were able to be built so quickly was due to Zhen Qian's reasonable planning and the management of Wang Lun, but the most important thing was that everyone was treated as a screw, forming a huge machine, doing everything stipulated in the plan, even if there were any complaints, they could only be buried in their stomachs.
For example, hundreds of people build 100 small buildings at the same time, and thousands of people build 100 small buildings at the same time, the efficiency is almost 10 times.
Of course, if 10,000 people build 100 small buildings, it is a waste, but if you build 1,000 small buildings, it is another matter.
The infrastructure construction of the Wufeng Islands was completed almost within three months, and the advantage of large numbers of people and great strength was fully reflected, but Zhen Qian's Yali was also very large, so many people were busy with construction, and no one was engaged in other production, so at the beginning, the grain on the island was strictly rationed.
Now that the situation has eased somewhat, because the population problem has been plaguing the Wufeng Islands, after the completion of the infrastructure construction of the two main islands in the north and south of the Wufeng Islands, Zhen Qian temporarily gave up the pace of large-scale construction and let the people on the islands live according to their own way of life.
If everyone is organized to build Tanegashima and Yakushima at this time, it will obviously be difficult for some strongmen.
In the future, the development of each island can only be handed over to the new homeless, when a desert island is built in their own hands, so that the new homeless people can have a sense of belonging to their new residence.
Zhen Qian knew in his heart that if the Chinese people's attachment to their hometown was not unable to survive, the displaced people would not leave their hometowns, but once the society settled down, the wandering villagers would pack up and return to their hometowns.
Such a thing must not happen on the Wufeng Islands, this is not only a blow to Zhen Qian, but also will make other people deviate from morality, so Zhen Qian worked hard to make the displaced people change from the proletariat to the propertied class.
Those who have no permanent birth have no perseverance!
Time passed slowly, the civil war in the Japanese country was more like a patient contest between the opposition and Fujiwara Nakamaro, in Zhen Qian's eyes, the two sides had not finally shown their fangs, the war of thousands of people seemed to be hot, but in fact it was a political game, maybe Fujiwara Nakamaro was willing to give up some interests, and the opposition would stop.
On this day, a huge fleet appeared on the dock of the North Main Island, which was the fleet that was originally sent to Qiumei Island, but Zhen Shi and Zhen Thirty-one did not return together this time, and it was Wei Jian who led the fleet back.
In the conference room, Wei Jian, on behalf of Zhen Shi and Zhen 31, told everyone about the before and after of this expedition to Qiumei Island.
“…… The initial battle was not smooth, when we appeared on Qiumei Island, we inadvertently bumped into the truce between the tribes on the island, both sides did not understand the situation at the time, although Zhen Shi restrained and avoided but could not avoid the outbreak of the battle, after the fierce battle, it was found that the local natives died heavily, and the contradiction could not be reconciled! ”
Wang Tianxing rolled his eyes and gave Wei Jian two health balls, it was too shameless and shameless, he obviously wanted to wipe out the indigenous leaders, as if he was very wronged, didn't he occupy Qiumei Island this time? I also want the local indigenous people to sacrifice a piece of land with their hands.
After Zhen Qian returned from Qiumei Island, he had already recounted the battle situation on Qiumei Island, but the person concerned stated the course of the war, which was a military process set by Zhen Qian.
"The greed of the local natives on Qiumei Island gave Zhen Shi an opportunity, Zhen Shi and Zhen 30 must have ordered a plan to invite you into the urn to lure the enemy deeper, and when they pretended to evacuate the landing site, they left a lot of property, and as a result, the natives fought first in order to compete for property, and one of the stronger natives occupied the camp we discarded, but they didn't know that we had buried a large amount of gunpowder ...... under the camp."
"People die for money, birds die for food, and the natives can't escape such a fate!" Wang Lun sighed.
"After this battle, the natives suffered heavy losses, or perhaps they were really afraid, and retreated from the plains to the deep mountains ......."
This time in the battle of Qiumei Island, if there is not a bright spot at the end, the whole plan may change, even if Wei Jian's words are well concealed, but the facts are the facts.
"Zhen Shi led the fleet back to the Shengsi Islands, and transported a total of 3,682 Tang people, of which 3,000 stayed on Qiumei Island, and the rest were all sent to Keelung Harbor, leaving behind two thousand-stone flyships and four five-hundred-stone flyships, and the rest were all brought back to the Wufeng Islands ......."
After Wei Jian's statement was finished, Zhen Qian picked up the dust for Wei Jian, no matter what twists and turns occurred in the battle on Qiumei Island, he finally gained a firm foothold on Qiumei Island, and the first step of the plan has been completed.
At the banquet, Zhen Qian raised his glass and asked, "After I leave, how is your plan to exchange silk refined salt for natives progress?" ”
Qiumei Island is now only occupied a corner, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 natives on the island, if the aborigines hide in the mountains and harass from time to time, it is always a hidden danger, and it is simply unrealistic to clean it up in a short time, "Go back to the island owner!" Wei Jian put down his wine glass, the most fundamental reason why Zhen Shi and Zhen Thirty-one asked him to lead the fleet back this time was about his follow-up plan, "The natives on Qiumei Island are mainly villages, although there are intermarriages between villages, but the communication between them is not smooth, resulting in the tribal alliance has not yet been fully formed, and the largest village is only a thousand people. ”
Zhen Qian's biggest concern is that the indigenous people have entered the tribal alliance society, and it is not difficult for an indigenous village to deal with it, but it is not easy to eliminate an indigenous alliance.
"As soon as the war in the south of Qiumei Island ended, a certain went to the northern mountains of Qiumei Island with refined salt, silk and porcelain, etc., and contacted two small tribes through indigenous captives, and those natives are not stupid ......", Wei Jian said here and smiled and said: "Silk and porcelain are of little use to the natives, and refined salt is not a shortage of the natives, but the natives took a fancy to the iron tools and grain in the hands of a certain hand, and were willing to exchange them with indigenous slaves, so they promised the natives, a long knife for two prime-aged natives, and a bow and crossbow for three prime-aged natives, Even the miniature thunderbolt in the hand of a certain person can be exchanged for five prime-aged natives, in just less than half a month, a certain person exchanged more than 300 natives from the hands of the natives who contacted him, and agreed to exchange them once a month in the future, this time to return to the Wufeng Islands, in order to bring all the indigenous slaves, please dispose of the island owner! ”
Zhen Qian was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect Wei Jian to do this so beautifully, I'm afraid that it won't take more than a year, and it would be good if half of the natives on Qiumei Island could be left, thinking of this: "Okay! In this attack on Qiumei Island, Wei Lang's military merits can also be recorded as first-class, and Wei Jian was appointed as the deputy manager of Qiumei Island, what do you think? ”
Wei Jian's calculation is to eliminate the threat of the natives on Qiumei Island, and even use this calculation for the entire Taiwan Island, not to mention the great credit, and the promotion of Wei Jian to the deputy manager of Qiumei Island is also a clear achievement.
