Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 763

[Chapter 763 Awe?]

“Your Highness, about the slave arrest…”

Zhao Xu was chatting with Zhou Yi, and Wang Yanzhong was a little anxious, so he couldn’t help but cautiously said.

Zhou Yi looked at Wang Yanzhong, they were old partners.

A few years ago, he and Wang Yanzhong sent many craftsmen and people to Yanzhou.

After joining the navy, Wang Yanzhong went it alone, and his business is still booming.

Recently, Wang Yanzhong has been playing Jiangnan’s idea, smuggling many people from Jiangnan to Jiangbei.

During the Battle of Goryeo, Wang Yanzhong also took advantage of the chaos to capture many Goryeo slaves.

However, these slaves were no longer just sold to the imperial court.

King Yan seemed to be formalizing the slave trade as a business.

After all, the tooth shop captured slaves and sold them for twenty or thirty taels of silver, which was a huge profit.

This one can bring huge profits.

Most importantly, these slaves can alleviate the shortage of labor in Huangzhuang and Guanzhuang.

As for the change of dental practice, he has no objection.

Since he was in the navy, he often heard about the slave trade of the Western Turks from the captured pirates.

These trades were supported by the state, who even enacted cruel laws to restrain slaves.

In contrast, they treated slaves with kindness.

At the same time, he also learned that in recent years, the slave traders of the Western natives have also set their sights on the Eastern natives.

Defrauding the people of Dasong in the name of forcible arrest, deception, trafficking, and even recruitment of labor.

People who were promised high commissions to plantations found themselves in hell.

“This king almost forgot, since this king and Wang Yanzhong are here, you should understand Zhou Yi, right?” Zhao Xu said.

For him, people like Chang Wei and Zhou Yi belonged to his white gloves.

Tsui Hark, Wang Yanzhong and others belonged to his gray gloves.

White gloves are indispensable, and gray gloves are also necessary.

They are needed in the shadowy struggle between nations.

“The general understands.” Zhou Yi smiled and pointed at Chang Qi, “But this Chang Qi was brought down by the Marine Corps. If you capture slaves, you must give the Navy some

sweets, right?” Wang Yanzhong pointed at Zhou Yi after hearing the words. He laughed and scolded, “How long can you stay away from Yahang, boy, now you turn your face and deny anyone, and ask for money from Yahang.”

Zhou Yi smiled all over his face, “If you catch it all by yourself, I naturally don’t want it, but now you But if you miss it, His Highness has already said that our navy will take 10% of the spoils this time, and this person is also a spoil.”

Wang Yanzhong lost his temper after Zhou Yi’s words, and he looked at Zhao Xu, “Your Highness, I can’t do that. Make the decision.”

“One tael of silver is good for each person, and you are still responsible for grasping it.” Zhao Xu said to Zhou Yi.

What he said was a promise to Zhou Yi.

In this era, in fact, the navies of various countries are both regular armies and bandits, especially Britain.

Moreover, in order to encourage the navy to absorb benefits from the open sea and give back to the homeland, they clearly stipulate that the navy’s spoils can be kept for themselves.

Because of this, the fighting spirit of the British army is very strong.

Who would not be happy to fight a war and return home to become a moderately wealthy family?

For his army, his constraints on generals and soldiers lie more in thought.

But sometimes it is necessary to give some benefits as incentives.

As for the tooth shop, part of the silver from the slave trade was turned over to the treasury as a reward, and part was kept for his own use.

Wang Yanzhong and the backbone of Yaxing have become very rich in recent years.

At this moment, it is normal to pick up cheap money for nothing.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi was overjoyed.

Wang Yanzhong shook his head, and he was secretly happy, one tael of silver was too much money for him.

On weekdays, it is costly for them to capture slaves, and some dental workers even pay with their lives.

After deciding on this matter, Wang Yanzhong led the dental staff and went with Pan Chang.

Not long after, the people from Yahang escorted a large number of Dongying young and strong men and women, and sent them to Yahang’s boat.

Zhao Xu had no interest in going to Changqi City, so he wandered around the pier for a while.

Wait until the Yahang’s boat is full and leave by yourself.

He waited for the gold, silver, jewels, cloth, and antiques that the navy had looted before returning to Wufeng Island with Zhou Yi to plan the next attack.

And this time, he didn’t know how it would affect Dongpu.

History has proved that Dongying has a physique of being abused. The harder he is beaten, the more honest he is. He hopes that the Battle of Changqi will leave an indelible shadow on the Dongying people.

Two days after they left, the Watanabe case and Ma Shengtaro led the army to Changqi City.

Entering the city, looking at the corpses, burnt shops, and mess all over the ground, Mawa Taro’s body couldn’t help shaking.

Obviously, King Yan’s army plundered Changqi City.

These corpses not only belonged to Japanese soldiers, but also many of them belonged to Japanese merchants and common people.

Among them, many Japanese merchants and common people held swords and sticks in their hands.

When King Yan’s army entered the city, they must have joined the ranks of Dongying soldiers and fought with the soldiers of King Yan.

The Watanabe case also had a solemn expression. He had never seen such a tragic scene in Japan.

It has always been Dongpu who went to Dasong to burn, kill and loot.

Dongpu mainland has never suffered other massacres for thousands of years.

At this moment, he suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that Dasong people would also burn, kill and loot, and they were just as vicious.

Walking through the entire Changqi City with Ma Shengtaro, he felt chills in his heart.

The wealth of the entire Changqi was taken away, including the young and strong in Changqi City who did not die in battle.

Now, apart from the old, weak, sick and disabled, this city is worthless.

“General, it’s Changqi now, where will it be next? The shogunate refused to surrender, and King Yan’s army won’t let it go.” Facing the broken Changqi, Ma Rotaro suddenly realized that he not only didn’t hate King Yan.

But for a moment, he was full of awe for King Yan.

This is just as he was in awe of the Watanabe case back then.

Hearing the Watanabe case, his hands couldn’t help shaking.

This was the question he was most afraid of. If King Yan plundered one city after another, what would be left of Dongpu in the end?
