0686 Tojiro

To say that the obedience of the Japanese is really perverted! According to historical records, the samurai of the Wa Kingdom could brazenly take the peasant "test sword"! In other words, the samurai could kill the peasants at will with impunity! And the peasants must honestly kneel on the ground and wait for death!

This situation was not forbidden until the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom, when the two sides fought each other and suffered serious losses in population. However, this prohibition is not an explicit rule, but an unspoken rule of mouth, so it is not surprising that these Japanese people are honestly dragged into a pile.

Tojiro is one of them. He saw the pirates rushing towards him, and he tried to protect his wife and daughter behind him. But it was an extremely tall and strong man who rushed at him! Even among the Han people, this person is also a tall man, three heads taller than him!

The height difference between the two sides was too big, and it was inconvenient for the pirate to grab his clothes, so he directly reached out and grabbed his hair bun and dragged him out.

Originally, I wanted to shout to my wife and ask him to take care of his daughter. But he couldn't even shout under the drag. As a result, he was dragged for more than a dozen steps, and was pushed by the pirate and fell directly to his knees. Then he could die with his eyes closed.

But he didn't have to wait long before he heard the cries of his wife and daughter getting closer and closer! He looked up and saw the strong man with his daughter under his left armpit, dragging his mother-in-law's hair with his right hand, striding directly towards him.

The pirate walked up to him and slammed his hand directly on him. But the pirate was gentle when he let go of his daughter.

Tojiro's heart was even more bitter, thinking that this family was going to die together, so he couldn't help hugging his mother-in-law and daughter and silently shed tears. His mother-in-law and daughter were also so frightened that they cried, and they still had some support for hiding in his arms, but they cried even louder.

After a while, Tojiro found that there were a lot more people around, and he looked up and found that he knew a lot of people, and all of them were dragged out by the whole family. It made him feel a little strange! If you want to kill someone, you don't have to drag it out and kill it again, although he is a farmer who has never seen the world, but he can think this clearly.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly comforted his wife and daughter and made them try to calm down. Just then one of the pirates shouted in a Japanese voice, "Don't cry anymore, you fools! Dragging you out is for nothing else, it's for you to help do things! Help to do things and have enough to eat, or white rice!"

Tojiro forgot all the previous words, and all he heard was that there was a full meal, and it was white rice! But he didn't think it was true! Look at him. These pirates must be deceiving! White rice is that even the samurai adults can't afford it every day, so how can they give these peasants white rice? It's possible to help with the work and give a full meal!

His wife and daughter stopped sobbing in surprise when they heard these words. They looked at the shouting pirate and then at Tojiro for an answer.

Tojiro whispered, "Let's not be silent! Akito wanted us to do something for them, but we came forward, and I was afraid that there would be no good results when the adults called back!"

When his wife and daughter heard this, they were frightened and immediately bowed their heads. And not only Tojiro thought so, but also the people who were dragged out thought so, so they all bowed their heads and didn't speak.

The pirate shouted to the crowd to get up and work, but no one got up. Liu Guangting shook his head when he saw this, it seems that these people also know that the Ming army will not stay here for a long time, and the people of the Shimazu family came back and found that someone helped the Ming army rob their house, but they were afraid that they would be retaliated against.

The pirate walked back and forth in front of the crowd and shouted, and when he saw that no one got up, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and directly pulled out the short axe on his waist to kill a few people! But then he was stopped by Liu Guangting.

After Liu Guangting taught him a few words, the pirate took back his axe and walked to the crowd and said loudly, "It's just that you help us with the work, and when we leave, I will take you away and give you land!"

As soon as he said this, everyone instantly raised their heads, and everyone looked incredulous, asking the people around them if they really heard it wrong

, for a while, the scene was a little chaotic!

The land policy of the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty was much the same, that is, the aristocracy occupied the vast majority of the land, and there were very few yeoman farmers, most of whom were tenant farmers. These tenant farmers had to pay heavy taxes and free labor. Moreover, there are many people and little land in the Japanese country, and a peasant can only cultivate very little land. This is especially true in close proximity to big cities. So the land is extremely attractive to them!

Then the pirate cried out, "You heard me right, it's the land for you! O land of your own! Each person can get three acres of land. Just pay 50% of the tax!"

This is not to arouse the interest of the Japanese people, but to cause a sensation! There have been quite a few people who have stood up and asked loudly if it is true? In their opinion, the Ming army can't believe that the land is divided, but with the addition of collecting fifty percent of the tax, it sounds much more true!

Moreover, in their opinion, the fifty percent tax is already benevolent government, which shows how heavy the exploitation of the peasants by the upper strata of the Japanese state is! However, there was no way to brutally oppress the peasants, and the daimyo needed money, food, leather, and other materials to fight. And there is no industry at all in the country, so these taxes naturally have to fall on the heads of the peasants, so it is normal to collect seventy or eighty percent of the taxes!

Tojiro had already passed enough hungry days, he looked down at the yellow and thin faces of his wife and daughter, directly let go and pushed the two of them away, strode out of the crowd and said loudly, "This Akito master, if you really give the land, I will do it!"

The pirate was overjoyed when he saw someone come out, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "If you really give land, you really only charge 50% of the tax!" You are the first to come out, Lao Tzu is in charge. Give you an extra acre of land!"

Seeing that someone had come forward first, the other widows also got up and gathered together. The pirate immediately pulled nine men and handed them to Tojiro, and then said, "You have brought these nine men."

Then he called out to one of the pirates and said, "Follow him and do what he commands."

Tojiro looked back at his terrified wife and daughter, gritted his teeth, and left with the pirate. And the pirates who shouted sent out the rest of the male formation. Then some of the women were gathered together and all the children were looked at individually. These children will become Han Chinese in the future, so they must be protected first.
