Chapter 350: Breech Gun Technology in Hand
Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Qiming with a carrot in one hand and a big stick in the other, the Tokugawa family from a samurai class warlord power collapsed, the most powerful family in Japan was disarmed and turned into an ordinary large landowner, there was no local force in Japan to resist the colonial rule of the Han Empire!
Years of war have caused tons of losses to Japan's economy, agricultural production and population, and Japanese civilians can be seen everywhere in the Japanese countryside, and the Japanese daimyo samurai who were desperate and rebellious at the beginning have forcibly conscripted the Japanese civilians to make Japan's agricultural output drop again and again for two years, and in order to supply the army with food, those Japanese daimyo samurai not only implemented the policy of grain control, but also purchased grain at a low price with a large amount of silver taels that could not be eaten at all!
Japan's coastal cities were all in the hands of the Han garrison, which meant that Japan could not buy food from outside!
In the end, many more people died of starvation in Japan than they did in war!
After the Han invasion army stayed in Japan, they found that groups of Japanese civilians flocked to them, begging for a job and a bite to eat, among these Japanese refugees, there were not many real men who were young and strong, but there were many women and children, and the Han soldiers even only needed to pay a palm-slap-sold, sand nest to break a Japanese girl!
In the face of hunger, the Japanese have completely abandoned their human dignity, and as long as they can eat, they will not complain about making cattle and horses!
After Wang Qiming found out about this situation, he realized a good opportunity to support the homeland war, as long as the Japanese young and strong, including children in their teens who were not adults, were surrounded by the colonial army of the Han Empire with cheap food and transported to major port cities, these people would be transported to the American mainland of the Han Empire as coolies, and the same was true of the treatment of the captured Japanese volunteers!
Years of attrition with the anti-Han alliance caused a large number of labor forces of the Han Empire to be drawn into the army, resulting in empty fertile land but no one cultivated, and a large number of empty mines but no one mined......
If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of black slaves left behind, I am afraid that the industrial system of the Han Empire would have fallen into the dilemma of lack of raw materials!
At the same time, the lack of labor, the demand for a large number of military supplies, the supply of minerals and other raw materials is also increasing, the limited black slaves are constantly oppressed by the high-intensity labor time, what rotation system and the system of night rest have completely disappeared, the black slaves under the bayonets of the overseers, working day and night, are driven like cattle!
In this era, there are no modern measures, everything depends on manpower!
One can imagine what a disaster this kind of high-intensity work caused to the health of the black slaves!
In addition, the food eaten by the black slaves is the worst, and it is impossible to fill the stomach, let alone any nutrition!
Therefore, the number of black slave laborers, as the war progressed, became less and less, and the Han Empire urgently needed additional slaves to fill the shortage of labor!
If the war does not stop, this consumption cannot be stopped......
It can be said that after the resumption of the America-Japan Island route, a steady stream of Japanese young coolies transported to the Americas can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of the Han Empire!
Wang Qiming is not a philanthropist, his people have very strict conditions for selecting coolies, and the older ones are not accepted, leaving them to fend for themselves!
However, the Japanese woman who could not be a coolie survived a lot of food and clothing in the Han soldiers who did not worry about food and clothing!
How can these energetic, wandering thousands of miles, who have not seen a woman for months, withstand the temptation of these Japanese women?
In the face of food scarcity, the meat industry in Japan has never been more popular!
Even, there are many single Han soldiers who married good-looking Japanese girls as concubines!
If it weren't for the Han law, which clearly stipulates that Japanese women cannot be raised as wives, I am afraid that many Japanese girls can become noble Han people!
Wang Qiming didn't stop the actions of the people below, because he himself was busy transporting Japanese strong men and playing with Japanese women......
The tiring work of cleaning the Japanese samurai was thrown to Mondora, and Wang Qiming's main task was to catch Japanese young male coolies everywhere in the Americas!
As for restoring the livelihood of the people in Japan, it seems to have been selectively forgotten by all the colonial leaders of the Han Empire, Wang Qiming hopes that Japan will continue to famine, so that he can easily use a small amount of food to lure a large number of Japanese coolies to be transported to the Americas!
This is also something that can't be helped, Zhao Du, who picked the door, was born to play those hard labor slaves into consumables, and under the continuous cost savings, all that was consumed were the lives of the living coolies!
A person like Zhao Dutian is definitely a proper demon level in the future generations......
However, if he really arrived in the era of humanitarianism in later generations, he would definitely not dare to do so......
In this era, no one cares about the life or death of those slave laborers, and even many of the laborers themselves have resigned themselves to their fate, just hoping to live a few more years and pray that they can one day get out of this life......
Therefore, the demand for slave labor in the Han Empire is endless, and in line with the principle that the more the merrier, the more the Han Empire, the more the Han Empire does not have to worry about the problem of too fast consumption of slaves, and the cost is reduced to a greater extent!
Otherwise, in order to prevent the coolies from running out of labor, the Han Empire also had to increase their food treatment and rest time, which was obviously a lot of pressure for the Han Empire during the war!
Under the suppression of tens of thousands of Han colonial troops, Japan, which had lost the last layer of underwear, completely became fish on the board, and Wang Qiming, the supreme commander, was not polite, and feasted on the fish and meat!
Japan, which used to have a large population, has now become a wild land with thousands of miles of uninhabited people, except for the coastal cities, and the abandoned farmland here and there seems to tell the people who used to be here to live, which makes people sigh!
According to later statistics, after this catastrophe, the total number of people left in Japan was less than 3 million, including the uncountable mixed race children born to Japanese women and Han soldiers......
However, the catastrophe of Japan in the Han Empire was very powerful, and the Japanese, who had lost 90% of their male youth, could no longer maintain their national independence, and a large number of Japanese women were easily assimilated by the later Han Empire!
Of course, for Zhao Dutian, the most pleasing thing is that in the spring of the forty-second year of the Han Dynasty, which completely conquered Japan, he won the breech gun technology that was rewarded by the mission!
