Looking at the dazzling array of jewelry around him, as well as boxes of silver and gold bars, Liu Hengzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, could it be that the young master Li was ready to let himself get past the last of his addictions, so he locked himself in the secret room of the warehouse where Wang Laohu's life savings were stored, weren't they afraid that they would take it with him?

"To be a little brother you need to be honest!"

Liu Hengyun raised a turquoise gem with two fingers, and repeatedly recalled this sentence, he finally knew where he was wrong!

Selfishness!

Yes, the selfish heart that was tightly covered by itself, but unconsciously deflected!

Since I took that awkward Filipino name for myself, I have made a mess of mistakes!

At the beginning, he thought that in order to integrate into the world of Filipino locals, it was not a big deal to choose a local name for himself, and the word Baohua at the end of his name implied the fact that he was Chinese.

But in fact, even he didn't know that since he had this name and got closer and closer to the locals in Luzon, the Chinese taste in himself had gradually faded.

In order to better win over the Luzon people, he privately made gunpowder, bought arms from the Chinese pirates in this area, and secretly resold them to the local armed forces, earning the difference, and at the same time hoping to rely on these locals in exchange for a better life in Luzon, hoping that through this method, those Chinese people can be attached to themselves, and use this friendship to promote the integration of Chinese and locals!

This is his selfishness! A selfish man who thinks he is great, but he is wrong!

The Luzon people are not Chinese, and while they are growing stronger with their own help, they are also becoming more and more interested in the wealth of the Chinese! They are now pursuing reading power, but who can guarantee that they will not turn their guns on the Chinese after reading power?

The Dai Yan Kingdom, the Siam Kingdom, the Three Buddha Kingdoms, the Borneo Kingdom, etc., the prosperity established by the Chinese in Nanyang was wiped out overnight, and when the hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the Lanfang Kingdom were slaughtered like pigs, and when the Qing Kingdom, which was regarded as the suzerain, did not even let out a fart, this torrent of exterminating China became more and more unscrupulous!

Their demise was fueled by the great powers to carve up the world, but it was the local natives who got jobs and money from the Chinese who became more and more greedy when they really slaughtered them!

Wielding machetes and holding venom-stained hairs, they slaughtered the Chinese in Nanyang while also taking away the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years.

Although he has a great selfishness, in fact, in the eyes of the Spaniards and the locals of Luzon, he is still an outlier, even if he can help the locals to gain reading ability, what can he do to ensure the safety of the Chinese?

Nanyang!

It is no longer the place where the Three Treasure Eunuchs set sail into the sea, and they bow down to Chen Chen wherever they go! From here, from the entire Nanyang Chinese, the sorrow of the descendants of Yan and Huang is reflected!

In the past, China was strong, no matter where they went, the Chinese were respected, but with the gradual decline of the Qing Dynasty, the Nanyang occupied by the great powers has now become a cemetery for the Chinese, and countless Chinese were thrown into the sea in the genocide deliberately created by the colonial rulers.

Lan Fang, in particular, has become the biggest scar of the Nanyang Chinese, hundreds of thousands of Chinese have been slaughtered like dogs, and no one may want to recall that period of history.

What's even more heart-wrenching is that out of their own interests and safety, none of the Nanyang Chinese under the butcher's knife of the great powers stood up when Lan Fangguo was in the most critical situation, and the Great Qing Kingdom, as the suzerain, didn't even let out a fart, which was chilling!

So after he heard that a Chinese regime had re-emerged in Hawaii, he also thought about immediately taking refuge in that Young Master Li, but after weighing it again, he still chose to cooperate with the locals in Luzon, because in his opinion, Hawaii was too far away, and it was impossible to care about the life and death of the Chinese in Nanyang.

But the accident happened soon, this person known as the young master of Hawaii actually launched an attack on Yue himself, not only seized the Ryukyus, but also wiped out the entire navy of Yumoto, and even received a sky-high compensation of 30 million pounds!

This hasn't happened in hundreds of years!

So after he saw Jiang Tianxiu that day, he blurted out that the other party should not miss what he had learned in his life and go to Hawaii, and after seeing Li Mo during the day, he stood up without hesitation and prepared to take refuge in the other party!

But he didn't expect that his hidden selfishness ended up harming himself! Because what Young Master Li needs is a real Chinese heart!

It's not terrible to be in prison at this moment, it can be seen from the fact that Young Master Li separated himself from the pirates that he won't kill himself for the time being, and now what he has to consider is how to re-correct his Chinese heart!

Thinking of this, Liu Hengzhen immediately walked to the door, ready to let the soldiers in custody report for him, but at this moment, a burst of gunshots like fried beans suddenly came to mind outside.

What happened? ――

Bang bang bang!

Leaning on Wang Laohu's carefully customized Nanmu Taishi chair, listening to the gunshots that would go off every few seconds, Young Master Li couldn't help but laugh. This stupid woman wouldn't kill all the pirates just because she kissed her in the afternoon, would she?

"Is this the result of a woman's dissatisfaction?" Young Master Li couldn't help but shudder, there are still three tigresses at home, what if it ...... that day?

Young Master Li was thinking crankily next to the chair, and Yan Fu, who was accompanying him, also frowned, although after the young master saw Luo Sanniang, he handed over the matter of reorganizing the pirates to her, but if he continues to kill like this, I'm afraid it's not a way, right? Could it be that the young master was in the room just now, and he did something sorry for others, which caused such a big anger?

Hurriedly said: "Young Master, do you want Da Zhuang to take a look?" ”

Li Mo waved his hand: "No need, we are outsiders after all, and since I promised to let her be in charge of the reorganization, she must have her reasons for doing this, let's take a look." ”

Hearing Li Mo say this, Yan Fu had no choice but to nod, but fortunately, the gunfire outside also stopped at this time, which made him breathe a little relieved.

"Sir, have you read the plan proposed by Tianxiu?" At this time, Li Mo interrupted the silence and suddenly mentioned a plan proposed by Jiang Tianxiu after arriving in Luzon according to the local situation.

It was a preparatory plan made in advance by Jiang Tianxiu for the smooth entry of the Pacific Army in the future, including continuing to expand the business of the trading company, stepping up the annexation of important resources from various countries in the South Seas, opening some light industrial factories, taking advantage of the lack of labor in the huge plantations and mines under the name of Slow, to immigrate to Luzon from the southeast coast in advance, allowing small troops to be stationed first under the cover of labor, and eliminating some possible leaders of the resistance forces, and so on.

This plan is very detailed and has a surname, but the last item makes Li Mo a little nervous and can't make up his mind. That is, Jiang Tianxiu proposed according to the current proportion of the total population of Luzon, and took the lead in taking a small-scale planned cleanup of the local natives in Luzon!

Clean!

Although Jiang Tianxiu used a civilized word, as long as he glanced at the methods and means of implementing the cleanup in the plan, he knew that it was a planned massacre at all! The most primitive and effective method was used to reduce the proportion of local and Chinese in Luzon, and finally completed the idea of the majority of the Chinese population within ten years.

Li Mo didn't want to accuse Jiang Tianxiu of being too vicious, but as a traverser, it was not easy to get him to agree to this plan, because it had gone beyond the war itself, and it was a test of his heart that still held modern concepts!

Although it often happened in the history books to kill hundreds of thousands of people at a time, it was all a paragraph in the book, and Li Mo was not the kind of person who could ruthlessly carry out this kind of non-war massacre, so after he saw the plan, he was reluctant to give Jiang Tianxiu an answer, and it was precisely for this reason that he consulted Yan Fu at this moment.

In fact, hearing Li Mo's words, Yan Fu, who had read the plan, knew why the young master had delayed the approval of the plan.

From his point of view, Jiang Tianxiu's proposal to clean up is reasonable, taking Luzon, the largest Chinese at the moment, as an example, the total population is about five million, of which about 300,000 are Chinese, less than one-tenth, and this is a problem that cannot be ignored for the Pacific Army that wants to take down here.

The population base, although not the only criterion for determining the foundation of the rule, is very important! And now is not the era when the Eight Banners of Manchuria can rely on hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen to sit on the throne, the current Qing Dynasty is not so much the Manchu court, but the Han court, and the eight governors and officials of the frontier are basically Han people.

You can't wait for the army to work hard to conquer this place, and then hand it over to the locals to manage, right? In this case, it is better to support a pro-yourself force, which is simpler and more convenient. Therefore, for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the future, although Jiang Tianxiu's plan is vicious, it is necessary!

According to Jiang Tianxiu's method, it is best to send a small force represented by Nighthawk to attack those weak small tribes, and gradually move on to the larger tribes, but there is no wall in this world that does not follow the wind, once it is known that the Pacific Army is carrying out this kind of action, I am afraid that it will provoke a fierce counterattack by the locals.

And he also knew that Li Mo was not the kind of ruthless person who slaughtered the city without blinking, otherwise he would not have forced hundreds of thousands of people to leave, but directly ordered to kill them all!

So Yan Fu thought about it for a while before he said, "Young Master, Yan Fu thinks that the plan is feasible, but the means need to be changed. ”

"Oh? How to change? Li Mo immediately asked.

Yan Fu cleaned up his thoughts and said: "Jiang Tianxiu's consideration is correct, but how to do it is still up for discussion, if we use our people, then once the matter is revealed, what will those Luzon people think?" What's more, young master, your footsteps can't be stopped by just Luzon, right? If we do that, we will be met with even more fierce resistance everywhere we go in the future, and it will be more than worth the cost. ”

"What does the gentleman think should be done about this?"

"It's simple, just three words." Under Li Mo's gaze, Yan Fu smiled slightly and stretched out three fingers: "Scratch, use, remnant." ”

"Catch, use, cripple?"

Young Master Li's eyes are green, what kind of dumb riddle to play, just say it!

Seeing that the young master was in a hurry, Yan Fu smiled and immediately explained: "Arrest, that is, the pirates will take action and arrest all those small tribes, such as this Palawan Island, there are only tens of thousands of natives on the island, with the foreign guns and foreign cannons of the pirates, as long as we support a little, it will not take two or three months, I am afraid that there will be no trace of the natives here!" ”

"But what's the use of catching it?" Young Master Li scratched his head and blinked his eyes, this old guy will never let the young master learn from the Nazis, build a concentration camp and open a crematorium, right? And why did the pirates catch you for nothing? Although the tigress outside is being reorganized, even if Wang Laohu and other subordinates are gathered, there are less than a thousand people, and it is still possible to catch a small island, and in the face of the big island of Luzon, it will not be able to catch it for 180 years!

"It's going to be used here!"

Yan Fu continued to explain: "Young Master, aren't you worried about the Ryukyu laborers? In addition, labor is also needed on the Taiwan side, and I heard that the Ogasawara Islands you bought are also under construction, so wouldn't it be a double win to transport all those people who were captured to be used as coolies? ”

Li Mo gradually understood what this guy meant, and felt that he was asking the pirates to help him catch the strong man. Thinking that as long as Luo Sanniang does it first, and then let out the wind a little, he can exchange his head for gold and silver, I'm afraid that the entire Nanyang pirates will go crazy! And if you do this, unless it is deliberate, who would want to hijack a ship? How good it would be to find a small island and catch some natives to pay back?!

In the end, when Young Master Li sent troops to Nanyang, he poured all this basin of dirty water on the pirates, and killed the pirates in front of those red-eyed locals, how trouble-free would it be?!

Thinking of this, Young Master Li immediately had a picture of thousands of ships rushing to various islands in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Yan Fu didn't seem to see the appearance of Young Master Li, took off his glasses and wiped them with his sleeves, and continued: "This kind of coolie is no better than the laborers we found, and there is no need to pay monthly salaries, as long as we provide some food and drink, and if we deduct some from eating and drinking, only Ryukyu and Taiwan, it will not be a problem to consume 200,000 yuan!" ”

"Eat and drink!"

Seeing that Yan Fu didn't even blink his eyes when he said this, Young Master Li finally knew what a black-bellied literati looked like! This year's coolies were already engaged in the hardest and most tiring work, and even if they were treated so well last time, hundreds of people still died in the expansion of Hawaii's harbor!

If you follow Yan Fu's approach, deduct some food, deliberately let go of seemingly inconspicuous problems such as disease, then I am afraid that the bones can be piled up! What is the difference between this and massacre?

However, Yan Fu's words did remind him that as his steps became bigger and bigger, the future will definitely not be limited to Ryukyu Hawaii, and there are still many, many places that need to use labor!

Especially once you land and return to China, the gap is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but a gap of millions at every turn! It is possible to recruit the following from the local area, but it requires a lot of money and is not necessarily efficient!

However, there is no such problem as buying labor from pirates, and you only need to pay for food and accommodation, even if you are afraid that others will talk too much, it is very cheap to pay some meager wages.

Even if you are really ruthless and deliberately consume the population, as long as you pay more attention to their bodies and food, and strengthen supervision, this is a batch of long-term free labor!

A low-cost construction army of tens or even millions of people! What is this concept? This means that as long as the funds and materials are sufficient, it will not be a problem to pile up a Ryukyu in a year!

Thinking of this, Young Master Li's heart pounded.

This is indeed a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone, and even if those laborers survive in the end, they will be completely scattered and dissolved everywhere, and there will be no numerical advantage, and they will only be slowly assimilated.

However, there is still a small problem here, Ryukyu is its own territory, and the Ogasawara Islands are also its own territory, but Taiwan itself has not stretched its claws? Transporting hundreds of thousands of coolies will it arouse the suspicion of others?

As if seeing Master Li's difficulties, Yan Fu put on his glasses again and said with a smile: "Taiwan is not a problem, I can immediately repair a letter to Mr. Qiu, with his temper, I am afraid that he can consume as much as he wants!" ”

"Black belly! Definitely black-bellied! ”

The last time Li Enfu went to Cuba to instigate, it was an eye-opener for Master Li, but I didn't expect this to attract two more powerful ones, eye-opening! Why didn't the young master bring the book of Houhei with him?!

Young Master Li sighed for a long time, and Yan Fu said again: "The last word is disabled, but it's actually very simple, does the young master remember what I said to you on the boat that day?" ”

"Liu Hengzhen is very familiar with the Luzon private army, since the young master is ready to use him, he might as well let him take advantage of this, continue to strengthen the Luzon armed forces, provoke them and the Spaniards, the more lively they fight with the Spaniards, the greater the consumption, and the Spaniards will definitely vent their anger on ordinary people, with the slaughter of the locals, reduce the base of the revolutionary army, these powers have not done nothing, if you let Mr. Slow blow the wind and find some excuses for robbery and burning, then it is completely possible to consume one hundred or two hundred thousand young adults!"

"What's more, the more brutal the Spaniards become, the more united the young people of Luzon will be, they are the best people in the land! If we had told Spain at that time, what would have been the situation? ”

Yan Fu didn't see the corners of Young Master Li's twitching eyes at all, and still said lightly: "The more the Spaniards kill, the more the Luzon people need to strengthen their armament!" At that time, you said that one gun for five laborers, would they agree? ”

“……”

Young Master Li was completely speechless, if it was really according to Yan Fu's approach, as long as the line of weapons was jammed, the Luzon armed forces that were forced to urgently need to grow would definitely attack those small tribes in exchange for weapons, you must know that in a sea area, there are many ethnic groups, not a single iron plate, sacrificing some small egos, fulfilling the big self, this kind of thing, is never uncommon!

What's more, in this land, there are dozens of times more people killed in tribal conflicts than in wars! Looking at the dark night sky outside the hall, Li Mo suddenly thought of a word.

Eliminate households!
