357. Governing the Japanese with the Won
Since sending the war report back, Xiao Ruxun has been staying in the Iwami Ming army camp to deal with the future stationing of the Ming army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
According to the predetermined plan, Xiao Ruxun wanted to leave 10,000 people stationed on Iwami, Oki Island and Sado Island, Iwami was the main station, and the two islands were incidental, of which Oki Island was only a simple military role and was used as a buffer, so Xiao Ruxun only arranged 500 to 1,000 people to be stationed on the island at most, and Sado Island needed to arrange a large number of prisoners to open mines because of the gold mountain, so it needed about 2,000 troops to maintain stability.
In the Iwami area, not only mines were opened, but also garrisoned in case of accidents, so a maximum of about 7,000 troops were needed to garrison them, manage prisoners, and manage mines.
However, even so, Xiao Ruxun also felt that these troops were a little insufficient, his original idea was 20,000 people, but considering the homesickness of the sergeants and the large cost of supply transportation, Xiao Ruxun still chose the minimum of 10,000 people, after all, food and these things can be cultivated and obtained in Japan, but gunpowder, arquebus, muskets, and artillery are to be transported from the Ming Dynasty, if there are too many people, the burden on the court will be great, and the resistance is not small.
Xiao Ruxun has traveled all over the entire vein of Iwami Silver Mountain these days, and has seen hundreds of large and small mines, knowing that this silver mountain has been dug up a lot by the previous Japanese, and the remaining mineral deposits do not know if it is enough to dig for fifty years, anyway, Xiao Ruxun does not plan to stop, dig to death, and does not intend to cherish manpower and material resources, anyway, all the things used are Japanese, and they are used directly to death.
The entire Iwami can still collect the young and strong population after the war is about 40,000, and the number of the old and weak women and children is 120,000, which is the approximate number of these days when the Ming army documents traveled throughout Iwami, Xiao Ruxun waved his hand, and all the 40,000 young and strong people were escorted to various mines to start mining, and the women gathered together, washed and cooked for the Ming army, sewed clothes, and the old and weak all gathered in the fields to start cultivating the fields again, and provided the Ming army with an appropriate amount of food and vegetables.
Of course, such a squeeze on these people's labor, coupled with the Ming army's violence to drive them to do things, these people will inevitably rise up to rebel, Xiao Ruxun did not plan to set off a revolutionary movement for the Japanese in Iwami, so he ingeniously formulated a strategy of using Japan to control Japan.
The Ming army only arranged a small number of soldiers and horses to monitor in various construction sites and fields, and the people who were mainly responsible for driving the Japanese to do things were also Japanese, or Japanese traitors carefully selected by Xiao Ruxun, there were more than 300 Japanese traitors in total, and the leader was a Japanese named Gorou without a surname.
This man has been an honest peasant for generations, and when it was his turn, Japan went to war against Korea, he was drafted into the army, went to Korea, but did not land in Korea, stayed in Tsushima Island, was captured by the Ming army on Tsushima Island, and then surrendered to the Ming army, because he was familiar with Iwami's way, he became a glorious leader of the party.
After the Iwami war subsided, when Xiao Ruxun selected the person in charge of the puppet army, Gorou entered his field of vision, so he summoned Gorou and other hardcore Japanese traitors Sixteen, and personally commended them, in order to show the importance of the Celestial Empire to them, Xiao Ruxun rewarded them with the Ming army's military hat and military uniforms.
So they gloriously became the "own people" who wore a pair of pants with the Ming army, and since then, these people have increased their energy and work efficiently, driving their compatriots to be more ruthless than the Ming army!
Carrying a leather whip in his hand and a Ming army knife on his waist, these more than 300 people were divided into ten groups, wandering around various construction sites, in addition to the Ming soldiers in charge of guarding, they are the main force to maintain order, and Xiao Ruxun also said to the Ming soldiers on guard, don't beat those Japanese, don't scold, just monitor, the rest of the things, these Japanese traitors will help them do a good job.
At first, the generals of the Ming army did not understand Xiao Ruxun's intentions to do this, until one day, when Li Rusong was resting, he wanted to inspect the mine on a whim, and he originally planned to show his majesty and pretend to be forced, but when he arrived at the door of the mine, a little man with a Ming army hat and Ming army trousers, dressed in a nondescript manner, rushed out of the mine, ran to Li Rusong and kowtowed, and then nodded and welcomed Li Rusong into with a flattering face.
Before entering the mine, Li Rusong heard the sound of ghosts crying wolves and whipping inside, Li Rusong was still very puzzled, I didn't know what was going on, I walked in and looked, okay, a group of Japanese wearing Ming army trousers were whipping a group of Japanese with whips.
Li Rusong was dumbfounded, pointed to the Japanese who were tied up in a row and hung up and beaten, and asked the chief of the Ming army in charge of this mine, and the chief said with an embarrassed face, this is the arrangement of Admiral Xiao, let the Japanese manage the Japanese themselves, they don't interfere, they don't beat or scold, they just monitor from the side, and then everything is really done by these Japanese, and they do it much more thoroughly than the Ming army.
Li Rusong looked at Goro's flattering smiling face, and those who were scolding and waving whips, watching their compatriots open their skins and flesh, but with abnormal smiles on their faces, Li Rusong seemed to understand something.
After he went back, he told the army about this matter, and then there were constantly Ming army generals to "inspect" these mines, and after witnessing these scenes, one or two admired Xiao Ruxun without saying -- these Japanese are really ruthless, and they are even more ruthless than the Ming army when dealing with their own people, and sometimes the ruthless Ming army can't stand it, and the Ming army officers who are responsible for monitoring the mines often take action to stop those people's excesses.
That's it.
"Once they have lost their way out and sold their soul and dignity, they have no choice, in order not to be abandoned by their masters, even if it is their own family, sometimes they can do it, and it is the basic characteristic of a traitor to deal with their own people more ruthlessly than the enemy.
This is not the idea of the landlord's old wealth as a prestige, but a complete pathological thinking, they know that only by doing this will they not be abandoned, in order not to be abandoned, they can only do more and more ruthlessly, because they know that once they are abandoned by the masters, they will die without a place to bury. ”
"But will it hurt the peace of heaven and earth by doing so?"
Yuan Huang also went to see the hellish scene, and escaped with an uncomfortable face: "If you squeeze those widows like this, they probably won't work honestly, let's ......"
Yuan Huang is old and kind, but Xiao Ruxun's heart is as hard as iron and he doesn't care at all.
"It's not us who do it, it's the traitors of those Japanese people, we are the ones who arbitrate, not the people who commit violence, soon, those Japanese people will understand this, I have more ways to make those Japanese people divert the target of hatred, they will definitely not think of doing it to Da Ming, absolutely!"
Yuan Huang looked at Xiao Ruxun, and he didn't know what kind of feeling he felt in his heart.
