Chapter 791 Toss
The three major fleets of the Navy, organized into godly costumes, rushed into Xinshou Village, entered the flock of sheep, and abused a group of Daofans wearing deerskins and holding stone knives.
Qin Lang, the governor, has always eaten his own meat, and his brothers also had to drink soup. Everyone has a share in all the captured and captives, from the governor to the soldiers. That's why the Navy's people fought extraordinarily fiercely, even when facing a group of islanders with loose organization and backward equipment, they went all out.
Every time a stockade is broken, I can get a lot of money, and every time a fan is captured alive, I can get a lot of money. Who can not work hard.
Anyway, the more villages are broken, the more people are captured, and the more money they can get at that time, they don't have to worry about Qin Lang ignoring their money. Wei Gong has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and he is sympathetic to his subordinates.
Qin Huan also brought a lot of soldiers from Danshui to the south. In addition, Qin Lang also dispatched a 2,000-man army from Guolao Mountain in Fuqing, and Dugu Yanyun, the governor of Fuzhou, also organized a 3,000-man army. Xiang Yong came to help out.
It is said to be war, but it is actually robbery.
Even in order to avoid conflicts, Cheng Chumo and the others held a special meeting, asking Qin Lang to divide their offensive routes and spheres of influence, and save the battles.
The transport ships of the Beiyang Bohai Fleet flying the banner of the Dragon King of the North Sea slowly sailed into the harbor. The last time Lao Cheng drew lots, he won the area on the opposite shore closest to Penghu. Like him, they are all screaming fierce men.
Since the start of the war, he has been attacking every day, and the offense has been attacking.
Zhu Fan was caught off guard by the beating, and Lao Cheng didn't come up with the idea of first salute and then soldiers.
Under such a fierce offensive like his, it is impossible for the Fanren to take measures to slow down the troops, let alone feign surrender. Lao Cheng always thought that only disarmed enemies are the best enemies, and before putting down the sword, don't talk to me about the rest.
With such an inhumane way of fighting, people who engage in it will either raise their hands and surrender directly, or they will be cut down until the whole village becomes slaves. There is no third possibility.
Zhou Daowu from Guangzhou shook his head involuntarily as he watched the human traffickers swarming up to the ship as soon as it entered the port.
"Since the imperial court established Liuqiu Prefecture, why should it draw blood like this? Isn't it just fishing in a dry lake? If there are no people on the island, how can it be developed?"
Zhou Daowu is the new governor of Guangzhou Metropolitan Government, the son of Zhou Shaofan, the governor of Guangzhou. Lao Zhou is Li Shimin's confidant. He was placed in Li Jiancheng's East Palace by Li Shimin's Infernal Affairs to hold an important position. He played an important role in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
His father, Zhou Fashang, was also a veteran of the three dynasties, and his family has a talent for naval combat.
Although Zhou Fanshang never paid homage to the prime minister, he was actually Li Shimin's most trusted person at one time. This time he was chosen to come to Guangzhou, and he had a lot of trust in him.
Xiao Zhou is Princess Linchuan's son-in-law and captain, and Qin Lang is brother-in-law, and both are the emperor's son-in-law who has not yet officially married.
According to seniority, Xiao Zhou wants to call Qin Lang brother-in-law, but he is much older than Qin Lang. This guy has a bunch of children and concubines, but he still calls himself an unmarried young man.
"Brother-in-law, if you say that, then forget about the share given to you."
Little Zhou Yi heard this, and hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant."
Compared to Lao Zhou, Xiao Zhou is far behind. Lao Zhou is the kind of ruthless person who doesn't show his mountains and dews. He doesn't talk too much, but Xiao Zhou talks a lot.
He came to Penghu from Chang'an, and then came to Penghu from Guangzhou. In fact, it was Lao Zhou who specially trained him and let him start a housekeeper business. He came to Penghu to have a relationship with Qin Lang.
Of course, Qin Lang did not refuse this brother-in-law, and even Qin Lang took the initiative to write to Lao Zhou in Guangzhou, asking him to arrange someone to come and share the benefits.
Qin Lang understood the meaning of Xiao Zhou's words. From Liuqiu's large-scale kidnapping and trafficking to the country, it was indeed a blood-drawing blow to Liuqiu Island. Under normal circumstances, after such a blood draw, Liuqiu Island would It's useless at all.
But how could Qin Lang let such a thing happen? What he wanted to do was not simply draw blood, but exchange blood.
"Liuqiu Island is full of people, but there are not many Han people, so if we really want to establish rule on the island, it is not enough to set up prefectures and counties in name only, and it is not enough to build a few ports and docks, just build a few castles Yes, the Fan people are very weak now, because they were closed before, but we are here, and within a few decades, they will develop rapidly. They will advance from the stone age of fishing and hunting to the iron age of farming. With a population of hundreds of thousands, we can completely crush us with our population advantage, and it is simply impossible for us to dominate the crowd with less."
"So the safest thing to do is to take advantage of how weak they are, and let's directly exchange blood on the island, get rid of the Fan people on the island, and then move to the Dan people to settle down. The poor Han Chinese people in the mainland, and even some Turkic people, party members, etc...."
Xiao Zhou listened thoughtfully.
"Brother-in-law has far-reaching plans, but it will take a lot of time and energy." He meant that Qin Lang took off his pants and farted, and it was unnecessary. After all, the big change of blood is a bit too big no matter how it sounds.
"You know that if you handle meat with your hands, there will be oil on your hands?"
Xiao Zhou nodded.
"So, people have to toss, toss and toss, the left side of the meat is turned to the right, the right is turned to the left, and back and forth, the hands will have a thick layer of oil and water."
Everyone is good, but it is not good for Fan people.
But who cares about the life and death of Fan people.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhou found out that this is indeed the case.
After tossing and tossing, everyone has benefited anyway. If there is some kind of benevolent government for Liuqiu, it will be difficult for the island to be truly ruled for a while. Half a penny is good.
Now it's really good.
Xiao Zhou's thoughts became clearer, and he became much happier. He was still a little unbearable at first, but now the meeting is gone.
"Brother-in-law, I want 3,000 people this time, preferably with a complete family, so that it is easy to manage."
Zhou Fanshao was not included in the list of the twenty-four heroes of the world, and failed to enter the Lingyan Pavilion, but Zhou Fanshao was also one of the heroes. Lao Zhou's family was originally a powerful family from generation to generation, and he was also a hero of Zhenguan, so Lao Zhou has been enclosing land and buying fields in the past few years.
Especially after the imperial court introduced the policy of not suppressing mergers and encouraging border farms, Lao Zhou immediately responded to support, and his family took land everywhere.
The result of the large-scale enclosure is that the manpower cannot keep up now.
Compared with buying land and renting it out to tenants, it is more profitable to buy slaves to build a manor. After all, the imperial court now has a special tenancy law, and there are stricter regulations on rent and tenancy contracts. It's different, slaves are not human beings, they are only compared to animals in court laws.
Although some changes have been made in recent years, and some guarantees have been added to the personal treatment of slaves, slaves are slaves after all, and the cost of using slaves is cheaper and the income is higher.
You can plant whatever you want, and the income you get is basically your own.
It's just that although the slave market has been booming in recent years, the demand for slaves from wealthy families has also increased. Especially with the boom in foreign trade, it has also led to a sharp increase in the demand for slaves for labor.
The Zhou family needs slaves for farming, workshops need slaves, mines also need slaves, and people are needed everywhere.
Xiao Zhou came here this time with a big appetite, and he wanted 10,000 people.
Qin Lang gave him a broken bone, and agreed to give him five thousand, in batches, according to the market price.
Xiao Zhou has only been in Chang'an for many years, and his reading is a bit roundabout. He can't bear to see a boatload of slaves for a while, but for the stewards or children of other families who come to buy people, it's so normal. It's no different than cattle.
Some people are even very interested in young girls with tattoos all over their bodies, and want to try something new. A group of dandy children are jealous there, and they don’t even take the money of the family fathers and fathers as money, and show off their wealth there.
Qin Lang didn't bother to take care of it, and even arranged for someone to deliberately stir up the flames. In the end, he insisted on creating a special auction.
Anyway, it's just raising the placard to bid the price, and the highest price wins. This is the time to show the financial strength of each family.
Then the first auction opened, a pair of twin sisters from the same family, and finally got a high price of 1,200 guan. Fan Yang Lu's disciple happily held up a sign, stood on the venue, looked around, complacent.
"1200 strings, who else?"
1,200 guan, to buy two female slaves, this price is outrageously high. Under normal circumstances, no matter how good-looking slaves are, two of them can sell for a hundred and twenty pennies.
1,200 strings, an ordinary female slave can buy a hundred of them.
Sitting in the VIP box, Qin Lang was very satisfied seeing this scene, a good start.
Xiao Zhou couldn't help being speechless, "Fan Yang Lu's family is indeed the best in the world."
"Fuck the best in the world. The first in the world is the Li family of the royal family, the second is the Sun family of the empress dowager, the third is the Dou family of the empress dowager's family, and the fourth is our Alang's Taiwei Qin family. This Fan Yang Lu family can only be included Second class, where did you come from the number one family?" Dugu Yanyun, governor of Fuzhou, said disdainfully there.
As a Xianbei surname, the Dugu family is also a famous family since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but in this surname list ranking, it is also not ranked first, because the Dugu family currently lacks top leaders in the court.
In this dynasty where officials and nobles were honored, the Dugu family could only be second-class.
Xiao Zhou laughed.
Once the surname of the imperial court was recorded, in fact, the people did not recognize it at all, especially the five surnames and seven families, no one took it seriously.
The first marriage partners of noble and wealthy families are still the five surnames and seven families, then the six surnames of Guanlong, and then the famous families in Jiangnan.
"Brother-in-law, I heard that you have always liked Jinwu Zangjiao, how is it, did you like it?" Qin Lang asked Zhou Daowu with a smile.
