The island's port is devastated, littered with broken bricks and tiles. Many houses were half destroyed by the bombing, and they were directly demolished for safety. There were large traces of blood on the ground, and although many days had passed, they had attracted a large number of green-headed flies. When a person walks by, a black cloud rises on the ground.

In the distance, on the outskirts of Kulomb, the flames of burning bodies burned for a month. The crematorium was filled with ashes and unburned bones, when the ashes and bones were a foot above the ground. People had to fill in the graves and dig another one not far away.

There are so many people who have died! After a month of heat, many corpses have long since decomposed. When the Indian captives dragged their rotting corpses into the burning pit, people and maggots would make a "crackling" sound at the same time.

The month-long tug-of-war directly ruined the port city. Almost all the houses were damaged, and the streets were filled with homeless refugees. Outside the city, you can see shacks made of wood and grass, and Tamil settlements are full of sewage and the remains of feces and urine. The bare-bottomed child played by the dark green water, picking up something from the ground and putting it in his mouth from time to time.

The Tamil elders were babbling to Li Xiao, complaining that the benefits promised to them by the Great Ming had not been realized. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came, but the Tamils did not get any benefits, and the situation was even worse. The translator next to him actually chattered about translation, and he was another one who didn't have the ability to see. But there is no way, there is only one who understands Tamil and understands the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty. In Ceylon, this is the linguistic brick man.

"Enough! Today I have something very important to tell that dirty, smelly old bastard. If you want money and food, you have to exchange it for labor, and you need to build a barracks for the army, which requires a lot of labor. Let the Tamils go and work there, I guarantee them food every day. If they do a good job, maybe their wives and children will have something to eat. Li Xiao didn't even look at the Tamil elders and translators.

When the Tamil Elder heard Li Xiao's words, he immediately began to talk again.

"The elder said ......!"

"If he says any more, I'll give them boats and let them all go back to India. Anyway, it's not far from India, and it's only a few hours away by sailboat. Li Xiao looked back at the translator who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, this seaman with a fat brain was really in water, and he could translate everything.

The Tamil elder immediately shut up and went away crying.

Expecting the aggressor to have justice, conscience, or even to keep promises is a manifestation of brain water. Since the other party chooses to set foot on your land with military boots, he wants to solve the problem by force.

There is no more simple and direct way than force. Now the relationship between the Ming and the Tamils is completely the relationship between the conqueror and the vanquished. What else do the vanquished want? Lao Tzu is not one of those moral gentlemen who wants to be a bitch and wants to set up an archway.

Lao Tzu is a bitch, and he will never set up an archway!

The Indian captives needed to be transported back to Da Ming to work as coolies, and Da Ming was now like a monster, devouring resources as high as mountains every day. There's always not enough coolies, and now there's tens of thousands of young and strong guys to use. Presumably, Ai Husheng will definitely be happy, at least there is some progress in this battle. The holes in the household can be filled to some extent.

Since the Indian prisoners were to be brought back, the task of rebuilding the city of Colombo could only be done by the Tamils.

The transport ship brought a lot of rice from Siam, which was a tax paid by the King of Siam to the Ming Dynasty this year. As long as the Tamils are willing to work, they will receive food to feed their families. This is equivalent to a system reboot, and the original rich man is now penniless. Because from today onwards, Kulomb is no longer circulating Indian rupees, but copper coins and silver dollars of the Ming Dynasty, and as for things like gold bars, they are still luxury goods.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but also an opportunity for the bottom to have a chance to make a fortune. I hope they can grasp it, and once someone grasps it, it will definitely sprout their descendants.

There's a very good saying: challenges and opportunities coexist!

An explosion sounded not far away, and Junzi immediately pounced on Li Xiao, and the guards around him drew their guns one after another. Li Xiao, who was embarrassed by the straight, pushed the straight away. For so many years, I can't even distinguish the sound of a mine explosion, and I'm embarrassed to say that I am a soldier?

When the two sides were tug-of-war, a large number of mines were laid. Some of these mines have been stepped on, and some have been lifted. Some were detonated by shells, and the last remaining ones need to be discovered slowly by latecomers. It doesn't matter who finds out, anyway, Li Xiao doesn't want to be his own person.

Sure enough, the Tamils all ran over. There was a faint cry coming ......!

I didn't have the heart to see if the Tamils were alive or dead, because a merchant ship had already sailed into the harbor. The merchant ship was a little smaller than the Zhenyuan, and it was loaded with Japanese soldiers. The deck was as dense as ants, and the ship was basically emptied, and all the places that could hold people were filled with people.

Eight thousand six hundred and thirty-one! This is the exact number of the Japanese who have retreated, and only a month ago, as many as 27,000 people had landed in Mumbai with Li Xiao.

The soldiers were in tattered clothes and hair, and many of them had faces blackened by gunpowder. They were scrawny and skeletal when they got out of the boat. Everyone carried guns on their backs, and even they did not throw away bayonets.

Many of them were wounded and had to be helped down by the robes.

Li Xiao closed his eyes, this was the last thing he wanted to see. When the second division withdrew, the same ragged clothes, the same cloaks, and the same embarrassed appearance, but many people were empty-handed.

The Japanese soldiers suffered such heavy casualties that they did not abandon their weapons. Many soldiers still have yellow bullets in their bullet belts, and grenades are inserted in their belts.

I always thought that the fewer deaths of the Ming officers and soldiers would be the fewer deaths, and even if there was one less death, it would be good. Tough battles, vicious battles, cannon fodder battles, these mercenaries will fight. The life of the Ming Dynasty is expensive, and it is not allowed to be wasted like this.

Now it's time for the tough battle, the evil battle, and the cannon fodder battle. On the battlefield, they interpreted what is the bravery of a soldier, and also gave Li Xiao a new understanding of bushido. Facing blood and fire, life and death, and not fearless. Such a ...... of troops is definitely a big disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

As strong as the Tang Dynasty, when the Guanzhong government soldiers are not enough, they always like to use the blood of foreign soldiers to increase the glory of military achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Later, An Lushan and Shi Siming were raised. The powerful Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Chang'an City were destroyed, and the most powerful dynasty of the Han nation came to an end. Until a few hundred years later, there was also Li Yuanhao of Western Xia. The Dangxiang clan actually regarded themselves as the last remnants of Li Tang!

After the tragedy, the Han nation has never had a strong regime for thousands of years.

Lesson of blood! Let a nation sink the lessons of a thousand years!

If one day the Ming Dynasty can no longer suppress the Wa Kingdom, what will it be like? Will history repeat itself? He actually made such a mistake, and every time he thought of the tragic scenes in those photos, Li Xiao felt a chill down his spine.

It is always said that the Han nation is the toughest, hardest-working and most resilient nation in the world. But these Japanese soldiers in front of them were eating three rice balls a day, drinking bitter and astringent water, lacking food and ammunition, and fighting the most arduous and hopeless resistance war. In order to let the Ming soldiers escape as soon as possible.

Disgrace!

The officers and soldiers of the Second Division were led by Yuan Chonghuan. Standing on the dock, watching the soldiers tremble and disembark.

"Salute!" With a loud command, everyone raised their right hands.

"Brother! Do you see it in heaven? The soldiers of the kingdom have saluted you, brother! Did you see that? Momojiro knelt on the ground and held up the bag of dirt he was carrying, his face looking at the blue sky, tears flowing wildly, and making a sound like a wolf's howl.
