Chapter 167: Salute Before Soldiers (II)
Manila, as the best port in Luzon, was naturally regarded as a stronghold by the Spaniards, and I don't know how shameless these monkeys are. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The most bizarre thing about info is that they don't even know how to change their names, is this too lazy to do even a little bit of superficial work to cover up
Of course, as the victor, after driving out the Spaniards, this place was naturally occupied by Xiaotian. Economically, this place does have its unique geographical advantages, and Xiaotian plans to renovate it and use it as a bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty in Luzon in the future.
Although it is the Age of Discovery, it is impossible for Spain to be a soldier for all, and they are not steppe tartars.
Therefore, although their combat strength in the Far East was only 60,000 or 70,000, the number of people they migrated with had already exceeded the 200,000 mark, most of whom were the families of these soldiers, some were honest businessmen, and even some came here to work as farmers.
The vast majority of these people are concentrated in Manila, and these civilians naturally have no combat effectiveness, and without the protection of the army, they will sooner or later become slaves of the Luzon monkeys, and they will be returned with a hundredfold revenge.
Xiao Tian is a benevolent person, a kind person, a bodhisattva-hearted person, how could he watch these poor Spaniards become slaves of these monkeys? So with a wave of our hand, we rescued the suffering and arrested all these Spanish civilians.
Well, you'd better be a slave for me.
Xiao Tian knows that Spain will definitely be willing to exchange the ransom for these people, but it is still the same sentence, Xiao Tian lacks everything now but money. Anyway, the mortal enmity with Spain has already been concluded, so naturally I am not afraid of being offended more ruthlessly.
Of course, such a good resource cannot be wasted, but it cannot be rewarded to the soldiers, marry these women and go home, who knows when these women will secretly give you a knife when you are asleep.
However, the female slave god horse is not worried about selling it at any time, whether it is selling concubines or selling Qinglou, no matter how it looks, these big Yangmar with high noses, blue eyes and red hair, at least they are fresh, and they should be able to sell at a good price.
As for the rest of the men, it's a tragedy, and it's better to have a skill. Among the navigators and explorers of the 16th century, there was no shortage of scientists, and this group of people naturally had to eat and drink well to serve and contribute to the great cause of Xiaotian. The rest of the men, no one wants to sell male slaves, and Xiaotian doesn't accept chrysanthemums, so naturally they are all distributed to do coolies.
After the 200,000 slaves were arranged, the food sent by a few big monkeys in Luzon would almost arrive. Anyway, after all, people are here to give gifts, so they naturally want to set up a banquet to entertain them.
At the banquet, Xiao Tian sat on the main seat, looked down at a few monkeys, and asked very arrogantly, "Have you brought all the food?" ”
After listening to the translator's translation, several monkeys hurriedly nodded and said, "Brought, brought." ”
Xiao Tian waved his hand and asked people to check.
Good guy, this Luzon is really not short of food! This 3,000 stone and that 5,000 stone, Xiao Tian specifically stated in the national letter before that he didn't want fruit, that thing was delicious but delicious, the key was that he couldn't let it go, and when it was shipped back to Daming, it was so rotten.
Therefore, all the tribute of these monkeys this time was rice, which was enough for them to load dozens of ships in a small day. It is estimated that they can only survive on fruit.
Xiao Tian laughed after his subordinates reported and inspected, and his previous fierce face became even more vicious, and he said: "Since the food has been delivered, it is useless to ask you, do it!" ”
Before the monkeys could understand what was going on, a burst of ping-pong gunfire fell into the pool of blood.
That's right, Xiaotian is so untrustworthy, this is the master's salute before the soldier. It's you who give me a gift first, and then I hit you. As soon as the guns rang out here, the vanguard of Sauron outside got the signal, and they drew their blades and killed all the small monkeys brought by the big monkeys, and the baggage team that worked hard to escort the food for us.
Before the little monkeys could react to what was going on, they all died under the blades of Sauron. Hacked these monkeys to death, Xiao Tian and the soldiers directly spread out a map of Luzon, drew a line with a big stroke of the pen and said: "With our manpower alone, it is still too difficult to eat the entire Luzon, not that we can't beat it, but there are not so many people to take care of it, so let's use this line as the basis to knock down all the areas outside this line."
When the time comes, we will all be the local owners, record all these lands in the names of the soldiers, and capture the local slaves of Luzon to plant. This Luzon is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, the crops do not need to be carefully served, when the time comes, let's plant some rubber, sugar cane and the like, send the slaves to look at it a little bit, the harvest of this land, as a bonus for the soldiers, okay? ”
Everyone naturally agreed, how can there be a reason in the world to be unhappy with a wage increase.
Liu An smiled: "Don't rob me, that natural rubber forest is mine." Master Hou, you have to let my Lao Liu attack, and when the time comes, all the rubber trees will be planted on the territory of our chivalrous army, and the rubber will be cut out to make condoms for the second son. ”
Everyone was naturally amused by this teasing, but Xiao Tian was speechless for a while.
The rubber research base that Leping tinkered with, I don't know what's wrong, I have to hit the condom. Obviously, this rubber has so many uses, but they have to hang themselves on this tree, and on the basis of the basic model, they have studied the thinner, thicker, ribbed, granular, etc., etc., especially in addition to the vibration model, he has basically studied it in later generations.
It's just that in addition to condoms, even the most basic monkey skin bands have not been studied, which is clearly a heart, according to this it seems that his younger brother will be a demon in lust sooner or later!
However, even if all the remaining rubber is used to produce condoms, demand is far from outstripping.
The little rubber purchased by Xiaotian every year to make bows for the imperial court is iron and cannot be moved. and allocated some to the eunuchs to make the soles, and there was really not much left. Condoms are much more in demand than shoes, and every family can't do without them, and the most important thing is that this thing is a special consumable!
At present, Leping's condoms are only sold in big cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou/Zhou, and Nan/Beijing, and ninety percent of them are sold to those places where the green buildings are fireworks, which is still in short supply.
It is no exaggeration to say that the output of this rubber is a hundred times larger, and all of it is not enough for Leping to make condoms for him to sell. (To be continued.) )
