Chapter 180: The Slaves of the Japanese Soldiers

As Xiao Jiu's order was conveyed to the Wa Kingdom, the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce began to act quickly, transporting a large amount of ordnance materials to the Wa Kingdom and beginning to form a corps in the local area.

The backbone members of the conscription in the Wa State were naturally the first refugees from Yangzhou to form an army in the form of a militia group.

In a newly reclaimed farm in the Xincheng camp, the management of the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce sent a new notice of the army and posted it on the bulletin board of the farm.

"Bell~"

After the gong sounded, the farmers in the farm rushed to the vicinity of the simple straw hut.

"Let's take a look, the Chamber of Commerce has a new announcement."

The chamber manager in charge motioned for a younger brother to shout, and did not begin to read out the contents of the notice until it was almost enough

When the herald finished reading it aloud, the people at the scene began to talk about it.

This proclamation is naturally a conscription order, unlike in Yangcheng County, the soldiers recruited this time are not under the control of the government, but the Chamber of Commerce, and they can withdraw at any time.

The main point is that the wages offered by the chamber of commerce are very high, much more than what you get from farming on the farm.

After this period of labor, those Central Plains people who migrated from Yangzhou and other places have basically adapted to their current identity and are very happy to accept their current life.

When they were in Yangzhou, they were all tenant farmers hired by landlords, but there were no landlords here, and their status was not humble, and the only deficiency may be that they were tired when they opened up wasteland.

All of them cherish the life in front of them, and some single young people still want to work here for two years and marry a wife.

But the most regrettable thing for them may be that they don't have their own land, and most of the things they grow have to be handed in.

But this proclamation opened the eyes of some people who are not satisfied with the status quo to have an opportunity, that is, the opportunity to acquire land.

Perhaps it is the long history of the Central Plains people that makes the people cherish a piece of land that belongs to them very much, which can be left for future generations to cultivate.

So when those singles who have not yet started a family heard that they could divide the land, they resolutely chose to sign up, hoping to seek wealth.

Since the departure of the administrator who handed out the notice, the small farm has not stopped discussing, and most of them are ready to sign up.

"Don't go, you can marry a daughter-in-law for a few years here, but if you die in a war, you won't have anything, not even a queen."

A disgraced young farmer persuaded his friends, but the friends around him were unappreciative and spitting.

"What do you say you're afraid of, you can beat three or five of those dwarfs, not to mention that you'll be given a crossbow when you're a soldier."

"But I'm still afraid."

"Then you wait to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, I want a stud and make a lot of money."

Such scenes continued to play out throughout the new city, and soon the new city formed by the Lingshui caravan had more than 50,000 militiamen.

For these conscripted militiamen, the Lingshui caravan was not stingy, and the soldiers from the peasants were also hard-working seedlings, and they were not lazy in training.

Later, the Lingshui caravan transported a large number of weapons and equipment through the fleet at sea, including artillery.

Because there are many hills on the mainland of the country, the artillery sent is also specially made, much smaller than that used on the battlefield in Yangzhou, just for portable transportation.

In July, 50,000 militiamen from the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce, 30,000 professional soldiers under the command of Kuroko, and 100,000 Japanese slaves began to enter the Japanese mainland.

In addition, the tribes that cooperated with the Lingshui Chamber of Commerce also gathered more than 100,000 people, large and small, and began to set off with the Xincheng army.

About 300,000 troops entered the mainland and soon ran into the soldiers of the Yamashin tribe, who were also aware of this terrible enemy.

Because the Kuroko side was the attacker, when more than 300,000 people rushed to the Shansen tribe, the soldiers of the Shansen tribe had been waiting for a long time.

Although the current Wa Kingdom is still in the barbaric era, it has been roughly able to smelt bronze artifacts and make simple clothes and armor.

When the coalition forces approached the Yamamori tribe, the other party sent several Japanese people early to try to negotiate peace, and they were brought to the front of Kuroko, the most important commander.

Because of the difference in language, Kuroko can only roughly know that the other party is going to bow down and pay a large amount of things to Kuroko and the Lingshui caravan.

But Kuroko doesn't look down on this kind of supply at all, as long as the largest mountain forest country is destroyed, then all the land and population of the Japanese country are not up to their own decision?

Thinking of this, Kuroko immediately mobilized the Wa tribes he had contacted before to launch an attack on the Yamamori tribe.

After several days of fighting, the tribes that had been waiting to unite were almost finished, and Kuroko began to order his team to start taking over the battle.

The battle went smoothly, and the largest mountain forest tribe in the Wa country had a population of more than 600,000 people, and in addition to those killed in the battle, more than 300,000 Wa people became prisoners.

Kuroko did not take an attitude of exterminating these captives, and with these captives, the second step of the colonization plan could be implemented.

If you want to make effective use of this overseas land, you can't just cultivate the land, and it's better to set up a factory here.

Only in this way can these indigenous people on the island be effectively used and their population resources can be maximized.

Under Kuroko's brutal suppression, all the rebellious prisoners of war were brutally executed, and the rest were honestly sent to Xincheng.

For accepting so many slaves at once, Xincheng obviously couldn't digest it, and began to transfer slaves to Yangcheng through the Lingshui caravan I, and at the same time speed up the construction of the Wa State factory.

……

Yangcheng County, the county seat.

When the first slaves from the Wa Kingdom were sent to the county town, many people in the county town were surprised by these small slaves.

Since Xiao Jiu entered Yangcheng, the slaves purchased from the southern border will be erased from their original identities, but these widows are different.

The sea ship docked from Wanpingkou, and these dwarfs were clearly indicated by Xiao Jiu to be slaves, and they would not enjoy the full power of any citizen of Yangcheng County, let alone join the army.

On the street, a procession of hundreds of slaves lined up, escorted by several members of the Lingshui caravan to a winery, and passers-by couldn't help but stare at the sides.

"Look, are they all children?"

"It's so pitiful, I became a slave at such a young age, and I don't know what sins I will suffer in the future."

"Oh no, why does this kid have such a long beard......"

After the group of slaves were escorted to the factory, Xiao, who was inspecting the factory, saw this group of Japanese slaves for the first time.

Big buckteeth, little man, Luo circle legs, that's right, it is the Japanese who made Xiao Jiu gnash his teeth in his previous life.

Xiao Jiu's gaze swept over these slaves of the Japanese Kingdom, and he was even more convinced that he was still on the same earth as his previous life.

In that case, are there still some blondes and blue-eyed people in the far west?

Thinking like this, Xiao Jiu looked at this group of Japanese people in a daze, and Li Yi on the side stepped forward to ask when he saw this, "Brother-in-law, where do you think it is better to arrange these dwarves?" ”

Xiao Jiu came back to his senses and said firmly, "Give them the dirtiest and most tiring work, and they are short in stature and ugly in appearance, so you don't need to treat them as human beings." ”

Hearing this, Li Yi's mouth opened wide in surprise and looked at Xiao Jiu's cold back when he left.

Is this still the Xiao Jiu who loves the people like a son in his impression? Moreover, these slaves were as small as children, and it was a little guilty to use them as slaves.

So Li Yi decided to observe this group of dwarfs and figure out why Xiao Jiu was so ruthless to this group of dwarfs he had never met.

Li Yi then went forward to find the non-commissioned officer who was handing over the slaves and asked, "This little brother, you have spent a lot of effort escorting these slaves along the way, right?" ”

The non-commissioned officer turned around, saw Li Yi's big face, and knew that it was Lord Xiao's eldest brother, so he hurriedly saluted.

After some politeness, I heard the non-commissioned officer say: "It doesn't take many people to manage this group of widows, they will take care of themselves." ”

Hearing what the non-commissioned officer said, Li Yi became interested and asked, "Oh? ”

The non-commissioned officer didn't dare to sell Guan Zi, and then said: "Although this widow is short, he has a fierce personality and is afraid of the soft and the hard, as long as you pick a person in charge among them to fight you, they will call you Wu Qiqi, which is what my father means." ”

"And these people hate their companions the most, and we may sometimes let them rest while working on our farm, but if they choose their own people to supervise, they will definitely have to die of exhaustion."

Listening to the despicable deeds of these Japanese slaves, the only trace of pity in Li Yi's heart immediately vanished.

Then he commanded his subordinates, "Give them those who are in danger." ”

Just when Li Yi was arranging these widows in the factory, Xiao Jiu also returned to the city lord's mansion in Yangcheng County and met Li Fu, who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that Li Fu had been waiting for him in the living room, Xiao Jiu directly summoned him to the study after learning about it.

"Li Fu, is there something wrong with you?"

Looking at Li Fu with a tangled face, Xiao Jiu asked slowly.

Hearing this, Li Fu licked his dry lips and responded, "Lord, the family over there in Qingzhou has relented, presumably there is not much problem with building a factory this year, it's just ......"

Xiao Jiu looked at Li Fu, who was a little distracted, and asked in a flat tone, "Just what?" ”

After struggling for a long time, Li Fu finally bowed his head and said: "It's just that the Qingzhou Army wants to buy fifty artillery pieces, which is also their condition, so I came here to ask you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu smiled slightly, and then nodded, "Yes, now artillery is no longer a secret, and we don't have to be afraid of the Qingzhou Army." ”

Seeing Xiao Jiu give an affirmative answer, Li Fu, who was in a rough mood, finally let go of his new arrival, and was just about to say a few words of goodbye, when he heard Xiao Jiu's voice coming slowly.

"Li Fu, I still have something to do with you."

When Li Fu heard this, he turned around and saw Xiao Jiu's smiling face.
