Chapter 352: Take it when you see it
In those days, there was no such thing as equality for all, and slaves were legally defined as animals. But Li Xiao did not like others to abuse slaves, he could accept slaves as property, but he could not accept others to abuse them.
Just like Li Xiao can raise animals and eat meat, but he will also have love for animals, and he can't accept those cruel ways to eat.
Of course, this is not a standard, but just your own attitude.
He was now the highest-ranking person on the team, and he had the right to make the rules he liked.
As an envoy of Andong Province, he was nominally the commander-in-chief of the local armed forces of the Tang Dynasty in the entire Andong Province, and he also had the right to form local armed forces.
Although this place is still an enemy-occupied area, it is also nominally the jurisdiction of his Li Xiao Economic Envoy, and from the moment he stepped into the Korean Peninsula, although he Li Xiao has not officially taken up the post of Wuzhen Prefecture Assassin History, he has already taken up the post of Andong Economic Envoy.
Li Xiao listed the 300 female slaves as his own private property and forbade others to damage his property. He kept them alone in a nearby camp and put them on guard.
For the mercenaries who robbed them back, Li Xiao did not treat them badly.
"The old rule, thirty percent belongs to the mercenaries who go out to fight. After these slaves are transported back to Dengzhou for sale, after deducting the cost of transportation and other expenses, thirty percent of the proceeds will belong to you, and nothing will be less. ”
Zhao Zhiman was worried that Li Xiao's behavior would make those outlaw mercenaries dissatisfied, but now he was relieved. In any case, as the owner of this mercenary group, Li Xiao also spends a lot, so others will not have an opinion if he owns seventy percent.
"Saburo, I support this division. I have a proposal for these 30% of the mercenaries, this 30% of the reward, I propose to take out 30% of it as a reward for everyone's outstanding performance during the operation, and take out 20% as a pension allowance for the injured and killed in the operation, and the remaining 50% will be divided equally among the mercenaries, what do you think? ”
Take some of it as a reward, that's fine, there is an incentive system to make the mercenaries perform better. And take out some of them as a bereavement allowance for the dead and wounded, and have an aftermath system, so that the mercenaries can have no worries.
"The second brother is thoughtful, just do what you say."
After Li Xiao recruited the four regiments of men and horses as the Jingluo Guard, they became soldiers, and Li Xiao could justifiably use military law to restrain them.
Early the next morning, Lao Wang and the other two captains each drove a boat and sent the three regiments to three nearby coastal landing operations.
Li Xiao led a regiment of men to stay on Phi Dao, while the rest of the men began to build camps.
Zhao Zhiman's actions were effective, strictly following the established strategy, never going deep inland, nor storming those big cities and dangerous villages, every time they landed by boat, raided those small villages and towns, and left after grabbing, and never stayed.
Lao Wang and the others were responsible for transporting the guards to land every day, and then transporting the looted people and property back to Phi Dao.
The survivors on Phi Island are responsible for classifying and registering the looted people and property, and treating the injured team members.
However, in just ten days, Phi Island has begun to take shape, with a simple boat dock, a wooden camp built near the bay, dormitories, canteens, toilets, hospitals, warehouses, and even internal kiosks made of trees, which is simply a miniature town.
Li Xiao even built a simple small court, where he can play ball and swim when he has nothing to do, which is very comfortable.
Because it was too smooth, Li Xiao even recruited a group of people and formed six new regiments, so now the Andong Jingluo Mansion on Phi Island has ten regiments and 2,000 people Jingluo Guard, and these ten teams take turns to attack and alternately return to Phi Island to rest.
The Goguryeo people were simply full of sieves along the mouth of the Hunjiang River, and there was no decent defense at all.
For Li Xiao, who has no intention of attacking the big towns at all, this coast is simply full of targets, such as entering a no-man's land, they can fight wherever they want.
Even after they had been in action for nearly half a month, the Goguryeo people in this area had not yet figured out the situation. They found that there were accidents in many fishing villages and market towns along the coast, but they didn't know that it was the Tang people, and they thought it was a group of vicious pirates from somewhere.
It is not uncommon for there to be pirates along the coast of Goguryeo, including the Silla people, the Baekje people, the Japanese people, and even the Goguryeo themselves and some Central Plains people.
These people come from a variety of sources, ranging from fugitives who committed crimes, to defeated soldiers who were defeated during the attack on Goguryeo, and some of them are even merchants and thieves.
There is no indication that the series of attacks along the mouth of the Hunjiang River were carried out by the Tang army from across the sea.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty's naval divisions had not appeared at the mouth of the Hunjiang River for at least ten years. Although tens of thousands of Tang naval divisions have appeared on the Baekje coastline in the south since last year, and a larger number of Tang infantry cavalry has appeared in Liaodong, no Tang naval divisions have come to Pyongyang again.
Perhaps because the Han of the Central Plains sent sailors to attack Pyongyang several times, but they never succeeded, so they did not come again.
Reporting to Pyongyang's capital city of Pyongan City, the Goguryeo court ordered the government along the mouth of the Hunjiang River to strictly investigate these daring sea thieves, and at the same time ordered the cities in various places to strengthen vigilance.
But the Goguryeo people everywhere did not realize that this group of pirates who came and went like ghosts without a trace was actually right under their noses, only a hundred miles away from the mouth of the Hunjiang River, and only thirty miles from the coast. However, because the Central Plains Navy Division came to attack many times in the early years, many islands along the coast have long been deserted.
Desert islands like Phi Dao are everywhere, and there are many real and fake pirates on the sea, and the result is that the Goguryeo people still don't know anything about Li Xiao and them.
After being busy for half a month, the ten regiments took turns to attack, and the results were quite rich.
Today, there are nearly 10,000 people on Phi Island.
Among them, Li Xiao and his own people numbered more than 2,000 people, and the remaining 7,000 or so were taken captively. In the beginning, they only robbed Goguryeo women, but later they simply robbed people when they saw them, except for the old ones who couldn't walk, as long as they were under the age of 50, regardless of men, women, old and young, they all caught back.
Even after the village was conquered, the pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, dried fish, and grain in the warehouse were not wasted at all.
If you want to blame it, the Goguryeo people reacted too slowly, and each time Li Xiao's people had enough time to empty the breached village.
"There are so many people on the island that I feel the need to ship some people back first."
Zhao Zhiman suggested to Li Xiao that although he also grabbed a lot of livestock and grain, tens of thousands of people were on the island, and the daily consumption was still very large. Moreover, there were more and more Goguryeo slaves, and it was not easy to manage.
"I feel that our operation can be put to an end for the time being, and although there is no intelligence yet that the Goguryeo people have discovered our location, I feel that we are not far from being discovered by them. Rather than wait until that day, let's take it when we see it. ”
Li Xiao is not the kind of person who is insatiable.
He understands the principle of accepting when he sees a good thing, this time he is already quite profitable, and he has grabbed more than 7,000 Goguryeo people, although it is not the first batch of young women, but it is also quite difficult, and this result is even something that no one expected.
Who would have thought that so many people could be snatched and their damage was almost non-existent.
I think that Emperor Taizong personally conquered Goguryeo, 100,000 elites conquered Liao, and conquered more than 10 Goguryeo cities, but in the end it was only 100,000 households and 450,000 people.
And Li Xiao's cobbled together rabble actually grabbed more than 7,000 people without any damage in half a month, what a huge result.
They didn't even take a city defended by soldiers, they didn't fight a tough battle, they landed on the coast by boat, raided, and moved.
During this time, they all almost moved to the coast of Baili near the mouth of the Hunjiang River.
Seven hundred slaves were transported back by one ship, and so many people had to be transported three times in three boats.
However, such a good thing will be difficult to come back in the future, although the Goguryeo people have been slow to react during this time, they are already pulling a net, and this net is getting tighter and tighter.
After the Goguryeo people were on guard, it would be more difficult to think of such cheap things in the future.
Once they really come into direct contact with the Goguryeo army, then they will have no advantage to take advantage of. Even if the Goguryeo people found out the situation on Phi Dao and sent a large army to attack it, it would be difficult for Li Xiao to defend against it.
So before the enemy can find them, slipping away is the best option.
"More than 7,000 slaves, this is really a hair."
On Phi Island, all the Tang people are grinning with big mouths and can't close their smiles.
With so many slaves, even if the price will be three, six, nine, etc., it is a huge fortune on the whole.
An ordinary Goguryeo male slave with little skill, as long as he is young, is worth forty or fifty thousand dollars. Even if it is a male slave who is no longer young in his forties or fifties, it is worth at least one or two hundred thousand dollars. Young women are worth a lot of money, and young slaves are okay.
If the average price is fifteen cents, then such a large group of slaves is worth one hundred and fifty-five thousand cents.
This is not counting the other harvests of beating rabbits during this time, breaking through hundreds of villages of all sizes, robbing a lot of cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, in addition to gold, silver, copper, money and cloth, these are also some.
Even if you ignore it all, it is a huge gain of at least 100,000 yuan.
took out thirty percent and divided it into those slave catchers, Li Xiao and other people still have to be able to 70,000 yuan, according to the proportion of their own people, Li Xiao accounts for fifty percent.
He alone expects to be able to get 35,000 yuan, even if some other expenses are removed, Li Xiao can earn 30,000 yuan in half a month.
What else in the world is more profitable to buy ** this?
Digging gold mines is not so profitable, and the emperor has rewarded a coinage stove without making such a profit.
Datang has a hundred coin-casting furnaces, but only more than 300,000 yuan a year, a furnace only casts 3,000 yuan a year, and the cost of casting money is very high, copper money, wages, copper is expensive in these years, copper money is enough, and transportation is inconvenient, sometimes cast out a furnace of money, but also have to lose money.
"I really want to do a few more votes!"
After Cui Shibai and the others calculated the amount of money they could get in their hearts, they all sighed with some reluctance.
"If you do it again, you may fold the book here, and if you see it, you can accept it, and tomorrow you will start sending the slaves to Dengzhou Chishanpu. We will try to get all the people out within three days, and we will evacuate all of them from Phi Dao after five days. Li Xiao made a somewhat difficult decision.
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
