In the eyes of the barbarian regulators, these practices are simply self-defeating.

There has never been peace between the north and the south of the continent, and there has always been an endless struggle between the barbarians in the north and the white people in the south.

Jinju Island needs slaves, but that doesn't mean that slaves will be protected as the most important existence. In essence, they are still enemies. The only value of a slave is to force him to work, to create more value for the enslaved with his life and sweat.

Dozens of bloody heads hung high on top of the barbed wire, and corpses were crucified. They were disemboweled, and their intestines hung down from a height of more than twenty meters, where they rotted in the hot air, and soon became a favorite delicacy for crows and mosquitoes.

The white slaves were outraged.

Although they are all civilians, there will always be leaders. They are demanding more time to rest, better food and better living conditions.

On the latest map of Einiubu, Jinju Island is marked with a striking red triangle. This means that its importance and development priority has been elevated to the first place, and to some extent even surpassed that of Jeju Island.

The island is so vast that it is two-thirds the size of Luzon during the civilization era. The hot climate helps the plants grow, and the abundant precipitation makes the crops here extremely high, which can reach three or even four crops a year.

The more important reason is the island's produce———— just last month, the search team discovered a special woodland on the east side of the island. After repeated comparisons, and the collected branches and leaves were sent back to Black Corner City for Tianhao's personal examination, it was finally determined that they were more than 200 rubber trees that had survived environmental upheaval.

Tianhao couldn't be sure if there were any other islands in the vast sea where more rubber trees grew. He can only build on what he has found so far, cultivate them, and then expand the cultivation area.

New property survey reports continue to be delivered in the following month. The search team found more property.

Cinchona, coconut, banana, mango, coffee, cocoa......

To the northwest of the island, a sizable number of herring was found, as well as a large pod of whales.

The development plan had to be revised in response to the current situation of Jinju Island. According to Tianhao's order, 20,000 immigrants were dispatched to Jinju Island to comprehensively strengthen the island's construction and defense forces.

……

The moist sea breeze blows in with the salty smell and dispels the heat, but it adheres to the surface of the skin, leaving a thin layer of salt after drying.

Jinju is located on the west side of the island, and the city is about five kilometers from the pier. It is a city built in the jungle, where people dig up earth to make bricks, add various accessories from volcanic ash to make cement, and build various buildings on an island infested with mosquitoes and wild beasts, with steel and iron materials brought from the Rock City.

Even according to the opinion of the northern barbarians, it was still a small city. The scale is not large, and the building itself is more for military purposes. The difference was that no ballistas were erected on the top of the towers, but were replaced by all-steel cast guns. The soldiers in charge of the guard also no longer used bows and arrows, but coarse, powerful flintlock muskets.

Within the clan, Tianhao has an unparalleled prestige. People voluntarily obeyed the various regulations he instituted, especially in new cities like Jinju, and they were implemented as a guideline.

The city has a complete sewer system and a complete water purification system. The roads are neat, there are special dumping points for garbage, and people regularly collect it every day. It all comes from the order of His Royal Highness the Regent———— hot and humid environment can breed a lot of bacteria, and it must be kept clean and clean.

Jinju did not have a large city wall, and only a ring of parapet walls was built in the core area of the city. This practice is similar to the "castle tower" in ancient Japan, except that it is larger and houses a larger number of buildings inside.

The Commandery's Office is the highest administrative body here, integrating military, civil, economic, and cultural affairs. The interior of the building is huge and well-planned, with the ground floor being used for office work and the underground being hollowed out to reserve twice as much space as the ground floor for storing all kinds of important materials. It can also be used as an evacuation shelter in case of an emergency.

Jianzhong is not an aristocrat, he is really out of the bottom of the common people, after a series of assessments, it was finally confirmed, and he was fortunate to enter Tianhao's field of vision, a young commander who has received systematic training.

As the territory and power expanded, so did the need for officials. Tianhao has always attached great importance to the cultivation of talents, and at present, the entire group of witch practitioners of the Niu clan has sworn allegiance to him, and the next thing to do is to fully implement compulsory education within the territory, starting from literacy, and large-scale literacy eradication. It is not required that all people can attain a very high level of literature, but the literacy rate must be more than 3,000 words per capita. It is required to be able to write your name, read the documents published daily, and be able to write short articles.

Twenty-eight-year-old Jianzhong has a rugged face and a rigid man's line. The scorching heat has made many people, including him, develop the habit of not wearing shirts, and the naked (harmonious) upper body is lined with blocky muscles and sharp corners. His long-term physical training has put him at the peak of his mental and physical fitness, and his cotton shorts are light and breathable, and his muscular legs are stretched beneath the chunky legs.

Jianzhong knew he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders.

He wants to fully develop the island in the shortest possible time, and he can't wait to prove his abilities in front of His Royal Highness the Regent.

The previous progress was smooth.

The port and wharf were completed two months ahead of schedule, the city was built and facilities were continuously improved, and the road to the east of the island was almost completed and can be used even during the rainy season. Sixty percent of the shipyards and large shipyards are complete, and in terms of overall defense and military strength, they are already quite strong.

Pick up the dark green sleeveless pullover and put it on, with the assistance of the adjutant, put on the chest armor, pull the straps from under the armpits, and adjust the position of the left and right shoulder armors.

This modified armor is simpler and easier to put on than in the past. The focus of protection is on the head, chest, and abdomen. The elbows and knees are lined with leather, and the shoulder armor is 40 percent lighter than before, despite being heavy.

Taking the rifle from the adjutant and examining the chamber and bullets, a cruel sneer appeared on Jianzhong's resolute face, and he strode out of the Commander's Mansion to give orders to the soldiers who had already assembled there.

"Let's go, let's teach those damned slaves a good lesson!"

……

The slave camp was set up in the northeast of Jinju City, about six kilometers from the city. There are twelve small towers here, which are not very high, but can be seen far away. Together with a part of the fence and barbed wire, the entire camp was firmly controlled.

Frank stood at the open barracks gates, sheltered from the glare of the slanting sunlight in the sky, peering apprehensively through the gap between the barbed wire fence and the towers, gazing uneasily at the end of the road that connected the city in the distance.

He didn't understand why he had suddenly become a slave, and he was also a slave of the northern giants.

Frank is a small aristocrat, the kind of family that is in the middle of the road. The ancestor used to be a viscount who served the king, but it fell from generation to generation. In his generation, although he maintained the title, he did not have the property to match it. Not so much a nobleman, but a commoner with a knighthood.

When Jugao and Stewart were trading at sea, Frank thought it was an act of hostility between different kingdoms. He constantly threatened the guards that it was treason, vowing revenge. But no matter what you say, all you get is a contemptuous smile, and then a stick that splits your head and covers your face.

It wasn't until disembarking at Jinju Island that everyone, including Frank, understood that freedom had been lost.

When they saw those terrible giants, they felt fear and despair. The hostility between the north and the south of the continent has lasted for thousands of years, and all propaganda, whether it is the Holy See or the upper echelons of the state, regards the giants as monsters. In particular, the saying that "they like to eat people" is more familiar to all civilians, and then it has become a fixed thinking that will never change.

The purpose of a slave's existence is to work. The transports brought in a large number of tools made of white figures, ranging from hoes to shovels. The people were taken to concentration camps, where they spent an afternoon of anxiety and fear. Before dinner, Commander Kenzhong gave them his first speech.

Giants can speak our language?

Hell, his pronunciation is purer than that of many uneducated civilians.

He is very familiar with our living habits.

To be sure, the food in the slave camps was not bad, and although it was a bit monotonous, it was at least passable.

Most of it is porridge and rice balls, with some pickles. You can eat enough to eat, and you can even eat fish two days a week.

Bananas can be seen at every meal. There are a lot of them, and they're all over the island. The first time I ate it, I was pleasantly surprised, and I felt bored when I ate too much, especially those that were hung on the tree and didn't have time to pick the ones that were naturally ripe, which were yellow and clear, and looked no different from poop.

It is not that Jianzhong deliberately treats slaves preferentially, but that these white men have to be fed before they have the strength to work. Anyway, Jinju Island is rich in materials, as long as they honestly cultivate fields and plant rubber in a large area, Jianzhong will not embarrass them.

Frank is a restless catfish.

He kept pushing the slaves to rebel.

The vision and insight of the aristocracy are indeed extraordinary. He knew very well that if he escaped from the island, he would be able to gain great wealth, even the appreciation of the king himself.

"A hero who rises from the clutches of giants", this name is inspiring to think about.

Frank is very cunning, he never comes out easily, and he has fled several times in a row, and it is he who instigates others behind his back. The first is to test the reaction of the giant's caretaker, and the other is to purge dissidents in disguise and consolidate his position among the slaves.

It wasn't until yesterday that Frank felt the time was ripe and led everyone to declare a strike.

He asks for negotiations with the giant lord of the island.

Frank is familiar with this set. He encountered the same thing———— it was more than ten years ago, he saved a sum of money by saving money, smashed pots and sold iron, raised some more, and set up a small-scale woolen mill in imitation of the practice of rich people. After less than three months in business, the workers objected to it because the wages were too low, and they quit. Frank's desire to revive the family was frustrated, and he himself went into debt.

He knew that the giants would not be afraid of threats, but Frank had watched carefully and knew that the slaves' focus was on planting a special kind of sapling. He felt that he could start in this area and achieve his goals.

Billowing smoke and dust billowed from the end of the road in the distance. Jianzhong did not ride horses, he came from the city with a thousand warriors and soon arrived at the slave camp.

Everywhere there were heavily armed guards, and their rifles in their hands were very different from the weapons that Frank was familiar with. But that's not the focus of his attention. Watching a particularly tall giant walk over surrounded by guards, Frank felt his heart slump and beat several times faster than before.

Jianzhong stood still about five meters away from him, staring at the unkempt and ragged white slave with a blank face: "You are the slave who asked to see me?" ”

Frank was stung in the heart by the word "slave", and he immediately became angry, but he did not dare to show it in his face. Nodding cautiously, he pondered the wording: "Yes." ”

Jianzhong's face was expressionless: "What do you want to say to me?" ”

Frank knew that this was an opportunity, and Jianzhong's attitude, although cold, made him feel that the northern giants were not all so savage and untouchable. Gathering courage, he bent down and saluted, and said cautiously, "We want better food than the rice balls we have now." ”

Jianzhong narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "Be specific." ”

"Can you add some meat?" Frank thought it was a good start, and he was even a little jumpy: "If possible, it's best to give us some bread every week." ”

"Want meat?" With a strange sneer on Jianzhong's face, he raised his head, looked over Frank, saw the group of white slaves gathered about three meters behind him, and asked in a loud voice, "Do you have the same idea?" ”

His voice wasn't too loud, and there was no threat that people could understand when they heard it. Everything is so bland, plus the people in Jianzhong are good-looking, young and handsome, giving people the feeling of renting an office worker who lives next door and goes out early and returns late, although indifferent, but not hostile.

The slaves nodded in agreement.

The camp was huge, with thousands of slaves gathered in the barracks hall, and a large area of black oppression was full of people.

Not all giants could understand their language. Except for Jianzhong's specially trained officers, the vast majority of whites do not have this linguistic talent.

He waited patiently for five minutes until the buzz in the crowd had subsided, and then he smiled at Frank.

"I'll admit it's a good piece of advice, but there's one important thing you've forgotten."

"What do you mean, my lord?" Frank didn't feel good and asked.

Jianzhong said as he drew his pistol: "You have to make a request in our language." Hehe, I don't understand what you just said. ”
