After solving the physiological problem, Shi Lang regained his fighting spirit when he woke up in the morning.

Early in the morning, I felt the barracks and shouted in a loud voice: "Assemble, assemble, assemble quickly." You lazy pigs! ”

Hearing Shi Lang's order, more than a thousand veterans who had retired but could not adapt to the life of ordinary people quickly gathered.

Seeing that the group of veterans gathered quickly and stood neatly in front of him, Shi Lang nodded with satisfaction and shouted, "Do you know what you are doing here?" ”

The veterans shouted in unison: "Know! ”

"And what are you here for?"

", what you told us to do!"

"Yes, from now on you are mercenaries, and Lao Tzu paid you a lot of money to hire you. Whatever I tell you to do, you have to do. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Well, well done, in addition to getting a good salary, there will be a huge bonus. But if you don't do it well, you will get rid of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will not raise idlers. Did you hear that? ”

"I heard you!"

"Very well, now give you an hour to clean up, and in an hour, we will set off. Disbanded now! ”

With Shi Lang's order to disband, these veterans quickly ran back to the dormitory, checked their weapons, and packed their armaments.

An hour later, Shi Lang rode the Arabian horse he had previously captured from the Spaniards, waved his hand in high spirits, and led more than a thousand mercenaries out of Manila and towards a nearby village.

……

Approaching a village near Manila, Shi Lang stopped the group and sent a few spies to explore the village.

Shi Lang called a few hundred households, looked at these hundred households and said, "Wait a minute, Cheng Xiang, you lead your subordinates to watch the east, and Zhang Yan, you watch the west...... Chen Wenjie, as soon as you heard my order, you immediately led your team to rush into the village and arrested all the young and strong people. Remember, I'm going to live, don't kill me! ”

Zhang Yan heard a whisper: "General Shi, this is an ordinary person, if you arrest it like this, will there be a problem?" ”

Shi Lang heard the angry glares at him, and shouted angrily: "What ordinary people, the people of this village have all participated in the massacre of the Chinese back then, and now we want to judge them to justice." Do you understand? ”

Zhang Yan saw that Shi Lang was angry, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the last general understands!" ”

Shi Lang snorted and said, "It's good that you understand, and besides, now that I'm not a general, don't call me that anymore." Just call me Boss, or Boss. Got it! ”

"Yes, yes, the little one understands!"

Shi Lang also knew that he would need the help of these people to complete the task in the future, so he said in a light tone: "I won't let everyone do it in vain, if you catch an indigenous young man, you will be rewarded with five taels immediately." Young woman three by two. Remember to live and die. “

Hearing Shi Lang say that he could exchange money if he caught the natives, these hundred households immediately lit up and said, "Boss, seriously? ”

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Tong Su is not bullied!" Moreover, Governor Zheng has already given a bounty in advance, just waiting for you to take the prisoners to receive the reward. ”

Hearing that even the bounty was ready, several hundred households wiped their hands, and one by one they looked excited, eager to rush into the village to arrest people immediately.

A more careful Baihu asked: "The boss, what about those old and weak, can they be exchanged for money?" ”

Shi Lang immediately lowered his face when he heard it and said, "Uncle Ben is not so idle to raise idlers!" ”

Seeing that Shi Lang was unhappy, Cheng Xiang hurriedly said: "Everyone has come all the way here, isn't it just for a word of wealth, what do you care about life and death?" Whatever the boss says, we just do it! ”

Shi Lang looked around at his subordinates and said, "What questions do you have now?" ”

These hundreds of households shook their heads in unison and said, "No, boss! ”

"Then go down and prepare, listen to my orders!"

Seeing that the mercenaries who were guarding the four sides were in place, Shi Lang gave an order, and six hundred mercenaries rushed into the village with three hundred rattan armor soldiers.

The weather was nice, and a few indigenous Luzon men were sitting leisurely on a hanging tower, munching on betel nuts and chatting.

Hearing the shouts, as soon as I looked up, I saw countless soldiers killing me.

Now the natives panicked, got up in a hurry, jumped down the stairs in pants that resembled skirts, and tried to run away.

But no matter how fast these people ran, they were not as powerful as the veterans of the Zheng family who had been exercising for many years, and after a while, they were slapped on the thighs by these mercenaries from behind, knocked them over, and then tied them up.

The natives who tried to run into the house and hide.

The mercenary kicked the gate open, rushed in and pulled the natives out, pulled them out again, and didn't forget to kick them a few times.

As soon as the few natives who dared to resist were holding the mountain opening knife and trying to fight hard, they were instantly hit by five or six sharp arrows, fell to the ground with a thud, and died after a few convulsions.

Seeing that the natives died, a veteran spat out a mouthful of water angrily and shouted, "Damn, I made five taels less than I made again!" ”

shouted, hurrying towards the other natives.

In order to avoid infighting, Shi Lang set the rules at the beginning.

In units of 100 households, the natives captured by a mercenary are counted as the whole household, and when the bounty is exchanged, it will be divided equally among everyone in the household.

At the same time, whoever catches it first is considered to be the household, and the others are not allowed to compete for it, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Soon, under the threat of the spears of a hundred mercenaries, more than fifty young men and thirty-four women were escorted back to Manila with ropes, ready to be handed over to Zheng Tai.

Other mercenaries continued to sweep through villages near Manila.

All the villages that encountered the mercenaries were destroyed, all the houses were burned, all the grain was looted, and even the pots and bowls were not spared.

In one day, the mercenaries swept through four villages and captured two hundred and ten young natives and one hundred and thirty-four women.

At night, piles of firewood burned in the barracks, and mercenaries drank shoddy water and wine, ate meat, and laughed and counted today's harvest.

Several well-behaved veterans were given a special reward for enjoying the services ******** indigenous women in a wooden house.

Shi Lang himself was holding an indigenous woman with the best posture, talking with Zheng Tai in the handsome tent.

Zheng Tai gave Shi Lang a glass and said, "Marquis, with the help of your group of captives, the construction speed of Manila can be accelerated again!" Come, I'll toast you! ”

Shi Lang heard it and said unceremoniously: "Come, drink!" ”

Zheng Tai drank all the fruit wine in the cup and said, "It's just that the marquis, this number of prisoners is not far enough, and the general still needs a large number of prisoners." I'm going to have to trouble you so hard in the next few days! ”

Shi Lang kneaded the captive woman **** with his rough hand, laughed and said: "Don't worry, Gongye is opening for the first time, and his subordinates are not yet skilled, and they will be proficient after a few more votes, and these captives will be sent from afar at that time." ”

Zheng Tai heard it and said: "Then it's all up to the hard work of the Marquis, come, I'll toast you!" ”

"Drink!"

The indigenous women were better, except for those who needed to serve people, and they were all kept in wooden houses, with no shortage of water and food.

The aborigines were miserable, all imprisoned in an open-air wooden cell, and fed on expired or moldy grain.

As soon as tonight is over, they will be assigned to various places to start their hard work.

In the port, in the farmland, in the forest farm,...... They would wear shackles and work as soon as dawn until evening.

When night falls, they will be sent by the overseers to a rudimentary labor camp and put under closed management, and when it is light, a new round of work will begin, all year round. (To be continued.) )
