Chapter 289: Operation Jeju Island (3)
Captain Bowie offered to use the Japanese samurai, saying that it was a pity that they were just ordinary laborers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Deputy Captain Guo Beyu even directly proposed to recruit people in the Satsuma Domain, and the money for the people there was very low.
They had also all read the interrogation records sent back by Captain Huang Zu.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, smiled, they learned to think about the problem in terms of cost.
He said to the two of them: "Your proposal is very good, the war is fought with materials, but also manpower, and the most important thing is blood...... In the future, if anyone mentions blood, you will let him be the first to rush to the front and let him go to hand-to-hand combat...... So, your proposal is good, and if there is a problem that can be solved with money, we better spend money to solve it. ”
He said this for a reason.
Half of his sons are growing up, and because the owner of Zhang Guoan usually always asks them to talk about some of the past events of the Great Song Dynasty and evaluate the foreign policy of the Great Song Dynasty, he finds that these boys have developed a little bit in the iron and blood side.
He doesn't want a soldier who has no brains and can only fight.
For example, they considered the tribute of the Great Song Dynasty to be a great shame.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, immediately said: "A good officer must hold a musket in one hand and an abacus in the other...... The most capital in your hands is human life, it is the largest consumable, and it is non-renewable, so you must cherish it!
If it's money and goods, you don't have to think about it at all...... For example, the alliance of Liao: compared with the annual tribute of 300,000 guan and the relocation of the capital, the price is simply not worth mentioning!
At that time, the annual income of the Great Song Dynasty was more than 10,000 guan, and the military expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty to organize a medium-scale war was as high as more than 30 million guan!
And the trend of history proves everything, after this war, the Northern Song Dynasty moved towards the peak...... It is not an exaggeration to count the peak of the entire Great Song Dynasty in the Song Renzong dynasty!
However, the annual supply can only be regarded as a tactic. What's more, we still have to win the fight, after all, it's still a jungle society, and they only respect steel knives and muskets! ”
At that time, half of the children could understand that tactics could be chosen at will, in the case of insufficient strength. There is no shame...... But at the end of the day, it's all about winning!
So, it was a really good idea for Bowway and Captain Kwok to mention the hiring of so-called Japanese samurai, especially when they knew that those people were living miserable lives in Japan, and it should be easier to take advantage of them.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, called the Japanese leader Tanaka Gen, and found a Japanese guy in Mihara Koi's shop and asked him to translate his words.
When Tanaka Gen knew that if he agreed to be the forward of the Liuqiu Island Guard, he would be exempted from servitude. And when he could get a very high salary, he was overjoyed, and he kowtowed seriously, and said, "Lord of the island, I am very willing to serve you!" ”
It would have been an unbearable insult for a samurai to do manual work, but the force value of the members of the Liuqiu Guard was too high for them. Let them be in awe, especially the death of their companions.
Absolute strength gives them absolute obedience...... Let the sift sand sift the sand. Let the bricks be moved, and obey all the orders of the soldiers, who all carry weapons that can breathe fire and easily kill the samurai.
But fortunately, although the physical work was tiring, they were able to eat enough. And it's all rice, and there's a kind of golden brown cake, which is very sweet, just a little hard.
They can eat meat as much as they want, and salted fish and fresh fish are also ...... It makes them feel like they're eating like a landlord. Even better than the ground!
It's just that they are given a change of clothes, and they feel very thin, but it does not prevent them from working; Their geta were broken, and instead of straw sandals, they were given leather shoes and socks.
At first, they were uncomfortable dressed and felt like they were squeezing their toes, but then they slowly felt more energetic than they were working in clogs.
When Oda Saburo saw that Tanaka Gen was taken away by a soldier, he stopped sifting the sand and watched their backs as they walked away in a daze with a shovel.
He alone could not sift through the prescribed amount of sand...... Houses are built here every day, but there are no walls.
They were really rich, if only their wives and children were here, and they could eat rice and meat and fish and all kinds of strange vegetables every day.
Thinking of this, he felt a sadness in his heart...... At the same time, on the seashore of the Satsuma Domain, his wife and two children were looking out to sea, and she hoped that her husband would come back with a lot of possessions, and the loan sharks came to the house again to force debts, and it is said that they were overturned by the sea breeze because they had brought too much money with them.
She didn't believe it, there was no sea breeze that could blow all twelve ships over!
She can only come to see the sea every day, hoping to see her husband return with a full load.
But it hasn't, she sighed.
Oda Saburo also sighed, he saw the soldier looking here, and the soldier wouldn't care if he took a rest, but after a long time, he would be beaten by rattan.
At this time, Tanakagen came back, and his appearance was full of surprises...... He called everyone together and told them a great good thing, they didn't have to do manual work, and they became the vanguard of the Liuqiu Guard!
On top of that, they can get fifteen a month, and as soon as they agree to join the Strikers now, they will be given out immediately...... Their Dai Lu is only five quintals less than the soldiers of the Liuqiu Guard, this is the money of the Great Song Dynasty, and you can buy five quintals of rice in Japan!
Tanakagen looked at the smiling concubines and knew that they would definitely agree, and he also got a task to go back and recruit low-level samurai!
As long as there are enough 200 people to form a forward team, he can be the captain, and Dai Lu is thirty yuan!
Tanakagen smiled and thought that he could also bring the merchants from his family and open a shop here, and those Goryeo merchants would do the same, so would he do the same...... It's good for the family, and the sea salt here is as cheap as sand!
The next day, when Tanakagen immediately boarded a Japanese merchant ship and left, many samurai and countrymen asked him to bring back the money and send a message to his family...... Of course, those who died, he also had to pass on the message one by one, and he couldn't blame others for what happened on the battlefield, and those who came out to rob always had to pay some capital, and the families of those who died would definitely not blame themselves.
Bao Wei and Captain Guo Beyu quarreled again...... They were all clamoring for this striker team, and Zhang Guoan Island owner immediately made a decision to recruit another Goryeo striker team, and this one was going to the Ha Long Bay area of Cochin!
At this time, the two of them stopped arguing, and each of them wanted to go to Jiaozhi, because this was to open up the territory, and going to Jeju Island was mainly to support the resistance organization in Goryeo, so it was not interesting.
At this time, the two were indisputable, they both wanted the Japanese strikers, but if they wanted them, they could only go to Jeju Island...... The Lord will really arrange it.
The two had no choice but to draw lots, and in the end, Bao Wei drew to Jeju Island...... It's really not good or bad. (To be continued.) )
