Chapter 49: The Evil Colonists
"Drag it down, teach tiao well, let her know what she is now."
Yang Dashuai said to Ruyu who walked in while lifting his pants, and Yilan, who was in a mess, was lying at his feet coughing desperately, wanting to spit out what he sprayed in his throat, with a painful expression on her face, she can also be regarded as being stained with the rain and dew grace of Dashuai, although the place is not right, it is not easy to drag it out and cut it, and Yang Dashuai needs her recently.
"Master, don't worry, the slave family likes to do this the most, and I promise that it won't take long to clean up this little hoof."
Ruyumei said with a smile.
"Well, you do it, I'm relieved!"
Yang Feng said and took a pen and wrote a name on a piece of paper, handed it to her and said, "Send someone to give this to Lin Hu, and ask him to immediately arrest this person and torture him to see how many other comrades there are." ”
Lin Hu is the chief of the Zhoushan Police Department appointed by him, as for the name on the paper, he is the behind-the-scenes instigator of Yilan, who is actually a spy sent by the Qing army, he found Yilan as a handsome maid, and he knows the national righteousness, and then takes out the token of this girl's family, so why didn't she resolutely come forward to eliminate this demon? This was all tortured out of her mouth by Yang Dashuai with a stick, and when he tortured her with this torture for nearly half an hour, the whole person almost collapsed, what dare Yilan, who tasted this taste for the first time?
She not only recruited this person, but even recruited a lot of accomplices from this person, ready to find an opportunity to do some blasting in Zhoushan.
This is not surprising, Yang Feng's side is not closed, merchants from all over the world can come over, not to mention the merchants who smuggle goods on the other side, that is, Goryeo, Waguo, and merchants from the south often come over, Yang Feng now directly treats this place as a ****** development, any country's merchant ships can dock here for supplies, and then trade freely with the private smugglers on the other side, and he is only responsible for collecting taxes, because there are many less intermediate links, especially the cost of bribing officials, whether foreign businessmen or smugglers on the other side of the strait like here.
In this case, it was easy for the Qing army to infiltrate.
As for how Ruyu adjusted Jiao Yilan, let her completely forget her identity as a flag person, and firmly remember that she was just a low-level maid in the Dashuai Mansion, and she had to do whatever the master wanted her to do, this is not something Yang Feng needs to care about, Ruyu, who was trained in Ji Yuan since childhood, should have a lot of experience in this area.
"Dashuai, a total of twenty spies have been arrested, how to deal with them?"
In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Hu came to report to Yang Feng in a murderous manner.
After getting Yilan's confession, he immediately went to arrest that guy, and then tortured him severely, those who were spies in these years were not the underground party supported by great ideals, they were nothing more than a mess to eat, and the whip, stick, and soldering iron were all recruited at once. Then there was a big raid, Zhoushan is surrounded by the sea, and there is nowhere to run if you want to, and soon the Qing army spies on the list will be arrested.
"What to do? Pull to the training ground, those recruits haven't seen much blood yet, give it to them to practice bayonets! ”
Yang Dashuai, who is deploying Taiwan's operational plan, said very casually.
"Understood!"
Lin Hu said with a cruel smile.
"Dashuai, do we have to get the Jinyi Guard up?"
Lao Chen said.
This name made Huang Baijia's eyelids jump, and it was obvious that as a scholar, they did not have a good impression of the era when Tiqi came out.
But this organization is a must-have.
", I'll personally select a group of people when I go back, after all, this kind of thing is not suitable for the police station to do, and in the future, Jinyiwei will be responsible for reconnaissance, intelligence analysis, and counter-espionage work, master, these people are trained by you, and they are also commanded by you for the time being."
Yang Feng said to the old monk Yinian.
This old monk is seventy years old this year, has no children, no daughters and no home, lives in the barracks every day, it is said that all the family property is on him now, and he has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and he is ruthless to the enemy, it is really murderous without blinking, and he is undoubtedly very suitable for this job in terms of loyalty and ability. In addition, he and Huang Baijia, the main ministers under Yang Feng, have been friends for decades, so he doesn't have to worry about these people having bad feelings about this name, he can't do it in a few years, and those young people who are only loyal to the handsome will grow up and just take over the job.
The old monk readily agreed.
As for the problem of attacking the chicken coop......
That's not a problem, at this time there was no Qing army in the chicken coop, where the Spaniards had occupied the Netherlands before, and the Dutch finally withdrew in 1668, and Kang Mazi wanted to abandon Taiwan after the fall of Taiwan, of course, he would not have any interest in this kind of abandoned land.
It's easy to occupy, just drive the army over, and the trouble is how to settle the relationship with the natives.
"It's Pingpu Fan's territory, it's familiar, but I don't dare to guarantee honesty, before the Dutch left largely because of the bad relationship with them, although I know a few leaders, but I don't dare to say what will happen, these people really want to fight, of course, it's not worth mentioning, I'm afraid that they will sneak up on us, if you want to open a mine and a factory there in the future, stability is the first thing."
Lao Chen said.
"Ignore them, kill if you dare to be honest!"
Yang Feng said indifferently.
He doesn't care about learning from the Americans, it's best not to provoke him, and if he dares to provoke him, he doesn't mind scalping.
"Another problem is workers, if we want to open a mine, we have to have a large number of workers, especially the coal mine, which is all hammered and chiseled, and after the excavation has to be transported to the port, even if the coal mine of the chicken coop is close to the sea, it also needs a large number of workers to transport. The red-haired ghost has also been picked before, but the output is very small because of the lack of manpower, the fans don't do this, there are few red-haired ghosts, the Han people don't go over, and the people here will definitely not go after we take over, and the people here will definitely not go over if they only use the captive, and the captives have to worry about them escaping when they are placed there. ”
Lao Chen then said another trouble.
This question is indeed very important, immigration is definitely not good, Zhoushan has a small population, thanks to Yang Feng's ****** policy, it is becoming more and more prosperous, no one can leave their hometown to go to the chicken coop, the only cheap labor that can be used is prisoners of war. But the use of prisoners of war must consider the issue of escape, many of these prisoners of war are still Eight Banners, in the future Yang Feng is only ready to control the chicken coop, so that as long as they flee south to Hsinchu, they will immediately become an uncle, in other words, any ordinary soldier has to let the Qing Dynasty officials there serve as their ancestors, so that their enthusiasm for escape will be very high, and he has to be guarded by a large number of soldiers, which is not cost-effective.
"Go get Howard."
Yang Feng thought for a while and said.
His solution was slavery.
"No problem, Marshal, you can have as many slaves as you want, and the East India Company will give you the best price."
After knowing that Yang Feng wanted to buy slaves, Howard said with a smile.
He is now worried about what to do if he can't get in and out of the trade with Yang Feng in the future, after all, the East India Company has nothing to make money from Yang Feng, in fact, all European merchants have nothing to make money from China, their goods are not popular in this country, on the contrary, the things in this country are widely popular in Europe, but since Yang Feng wants slaves, then this trade deficit problem is not a problem, this is their fist product.
"Howard, I have one more special request."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Your Excellency Marshal, please speak."
"It's very simple, I only want male slaves, female slaves and male slaves who are not cut I don't want."
"Well, Your Excellency, don't you think it's too uneconomical? If that's the case, we'll have to raise the price, because it will increase the mortality rate and you won't be able to harvest the next generation of slaves. ”
Howard said.
Slavery was the most normal business these days, and no gentleman of even the most civilized would feel guilty about it, for in fact a large number of merchants in Europe made their fortunes from it, and a large number of kings and chieftains in Africa made it their economic mainstay. As for the chicken mowing machine, it's not a big deal, the Saracens did it hundreds of years ago, and now the Ottomans are doing it too, so Yang Feng's request is not too much, the only problem is that it is not cost-effective from the perspective of cost.
"If it's more expensive, it'll be more expensive, and when the time comes, we'll barter, and I'll give you those treasures, and you'll give me slaves, and I'll have at least three thousand men in the first batch, and they'll have to be grown laborers."
Yang Feng said.
In other words, the Saracens and Ottomans played well on this issue, the people used slaves, and the Americans also used slaves, looking at the modern Middle East and the United States, those Saracens never had to think about the sequelae.
"Well, if it's fast, these slaves will be sent to you in half a year."
Howard nodded and said.
"It's too slow, why don't you catch slaves in Southeast Asia? For example, in the East Indies, I will have a lot of places where I need slaves in the future, and it is always too far from Africa to be transported, anyway, I only need slaves, and I don't care about his skin color. ”
Yang Feng said ill-intentionedly.
"That, Your Excellency Marshal, we won't hunt slaves ourselves, the cost is too high, a slave is not worth a few dollars, but it costs a lot of money to raise a white slave hunting team, after all, they have to risk their lives, although the black fighting force is very poor, but the diseases in the interior of Africa are not able to resist us, we all buy directly from the kings of Africa, they will provide us with a steady stream of slaves we need."
Howard said quite frankly.
"That's it! That's it. ”
Yang Feng said with regret.
He also wants these evil colonists to help him clean up Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, or he will have to trouble cleaning it up in the future, but he has to find another way.
