Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 66 Liberate the people of Dongying and establish a royal paradise
While the two of Ma Jin were walking towards the smoke, on the sea about eighty miles to the north of them, on the only mainmast of the Challenger, the lookout "Monkey" shouted excitedly.

"Land! I see land!"

Mi Fang slammed her fist against the wall and shouted, "Set up the ballista! Everyone is ready to land!"

Immediately after hearing the news, the sailors moved the two modular ballistas from the cabin to the front and rear decks for pre-combat assembly.

All the infantry of the army also received the military order issued by the chief general Zhang Xi: Prepare to land and fight.

Hearing the combat order, the recruits who were suffering from seasickness and storms, who were dying, had their hearts in their throats.

The soldiers put on their armors one after another, gripped their knives and guns, nervously waiting for the coming battle.

The oarsmen of the warships and sea boats accelerated their paddling speed and headed towards Kyushu Island.

As the distance got closer, Mi Fang raised her binoculars and observed the coast again.

There are some simple fishing boats by the sea, and apart from the reefs and woods, there are almost no residential houses or villages on the shore.

Momotaro generally judges that this is Kyushu, but he doesn't know the exact location, and proposes to arrest those fishermen for torture.

Even without paddle wheels and sails, with sixteen long oars, the speed of the Challenger Explorer is still faster than that of a small fishing boat.

Therefore, when the tall warships sailed in front of them, other fishing boats scattered.

There was only one small fishing boat that couldn't run fast, and a couple of fishermen were dumbfounded and caught them without a fight.

The dark-skinned fisherman couple knelt in front of Mi Fang, speaking Japanese dialect tremblingly.

Although the dialect is difficult to understand, the fishermen and his wife can understand Momotaro's pure Honshu dialect.

Even with gestures and guesses, Momotaro quickly found out the exact location.

The northeastern tip of Kyushu Island belongs to the King of Yidu. It is relatively remote and there are no soldiers to defend it.

The residence of King Yihe is located in the plain area forty miles to the southeast.

Mi Fang discussed with Jian Yong and Zhang Yun, and the most urgent task is to occupy a dock that can berth and repair the ship as soon as possible.

In the end, it was decided to first go to the fishing village where the fishermen called Abe lived. In this way, it would be more convenient to raise food personnel materials.

"I am Liu Bei, Marquis of Shuofang of the Great Han Empire, Governor Jian Yong, and I have come here to build a paradise for kings, so that you can eat and dress warmly, and not be oppressed by the king. You, understand?"

According to Lord Hou's instructions, after the successful landing, Governor Jian Yong, with the attitude of a savior and liberator, won the support of the lower-class Japanese people and concentrated his efforts to suppress the high-level dignitaries.

According to Lord Hou's idea, after the Japanese armed forces were eliminated, Governor Jian Yong set up the Governor's Office to be responsible for the administrative management of the Dongying Islands.

Surrounded by the ocean, the Dongying Islands are almost isolated from the world. They provide extra soldiers, money and food for Lord Hou to fight for hegemony, and become the winner of the world.

After listening to Momotaro's words, the fishermen Abei and his wife knew that they would not die, so they kowtowed and expressed their willingness to lead the way back to the village.

Therefore, dragging Abei's fishing boat, the Han fleet came to the Japanese mermaid village named "Wanghai".

The warship has a deep draft and cannot reach the shore, but the transport ship can go directly to the small pier of the fishing village.

After a narrow escape, Jian Yong and Zhang He finally landed successfully in Wanghai Village, Kyushu Island.

Accompanied by Momotaro and the Abe couple, Jian Yong and his party entered the village.

The fishermen finished running long ago and hid in the grass in the fields. They took away their limited belongings and food, including chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, and the two children of the Abe family.

Embarrassed, the Abbes quickly promised to call the villagers back to help the Han army repair the ship.

Through previous conversations, Jian Yong knew that fishermen and farmers in Yidu Kingdom would hand over [-]% to [-]% of their harvest.

The vast majority of poor fishermen are hungry and full on weekdays, and their lives are extremely difficult.

In the event of a war, these untouchables at the bottom have to enlist in the army, and few of them can come back alive.

Therefore, Jian Yong made a targeted promise that the Japanese who surrendered to the great Han only need to hand over half of their harvest.

Abei was very simple and honest, and he would go with whoever gave him more benefits, not to mention that the Han army was much stronger than the king's warriors.

If you can keep half of the catch, your family's life will be much better.

Therefore, he hoped that the fishermen and farmers in the same village would all submit to the Han army and build a happy and beautiful kingly paradise together.

As the infantry landed one after another, Zhang He took [-] infantry to the hillside to the east of the fishing village and set up a camp.

Liu Fu led more than 500 remaining infantry and set up a camp in the west of the village, responsible for guarding the pier and monitoring the fishing village.

After the persuasion of the Abbes and his wife, more than half of the fishermen came to the camp with suspicion.

These Japanese aborigines looked at the posture of the Han soldiers in armor and swords, as if they were seeing magic soldiers and generals.

Don't talk about those fierce noble guards, even the king's personal guards can't compare.

It is human nature to be afraid of the strong, and coupled with the substantial tax cuts, there is even a brighter prospect for the "Heavenly Land".

Therefore, after listening to Jian Yong's promise translated by Momotaro, seventy or eighty fishermen, young and old, knelt down on the spot, willing the whole village to surrender to the big man.

The Han army does not rob or seize, does not fight or kill, it is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the teacher of justice, and the teacher of liberation!

As for King Yidu who oppressed the fishermen and became more and more greedy, who cares whether he lives or dies?
The Japanese fishermen surrendered, and the fishing village also belonged to the Dahan. As the new owner of this land, Jian Yong naturally named this place "Defu".

Xuande Fuze!

A good name and a good meaning.

According to the plan of the general Zhang He, the scouts went out to investigate first, the whole army rested for three days, and then swept away the Yidu Nu Kingdom.

Mi Fang is very troubled, all the ships need to be overhauled, the craftsmen are obviously insufficient, and the pier needs to be rebuilt so that the warships can dock.

There are no more than a hundred fishermen in Wanghai Village, and they are young and strong, barely thirty or forty, and there are not enough people.

As a result, he began to surrender, and Abei became the head of the village of Wanghai, a big man.

Abe, a fisherman, became a village official. With a short knife given by Jian Yong on his waist, he ate the fine military rations given by the Han army, and became the envy of the fishermen.

If you take advantage, you will naturally have to pay in return.

Abe expressed that he was willing to persuade the nearby villagers to surrender.

Jian Yong was very pleased, and threw out a carrot: "If you can persuade the four villages, you will be promoted to the head of the pavilion, and you will be rewarded with money, food and soldiers."

According to the concept of "one hundred households in one mile, one pavilion in ten miles", the head of the pavilion is the superior of the head of the village, and then the head of the township and the county magistrate.

Obtaining the promise, Abei returned to the village excitedly, found a few good friends, and made a small calculation.

Following the powerful Han army, even if you can't eat meat, you can still drink soup. If you want to become a master, you must seize this rare opportunity.

Thus, the new Japanese nobility was born.

In fact, at this time, the Japanese did not have a strict sense of the concept of a nation, nor did they have any written language.

Therefore, whether it is the Yidu country, the slave country, or even the Yamatai supported by the Gongsun family, it basically belongs to the stage of tribal annexation.

Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.

The powerful class headed by the king, without exception, squeezed the blood and sweat of the people at the bottom.

The arrival of the Governor of the Great Han promises to describe the life that countless hardworking people like Abbe desire most in their hearts.

Therefore, it took only two days for Abei and his companions to successfully persuade the four surrounding villages to surrender one after another.

Jian Yong kept his promise, promoted Abei to be the head of the pavilion, and gave him a dagger, a pair of armor, and some knives and spears.

There are five villages with a small population of 2000. There are enough migrant workers for logging and repairing ships.

For the Japanese people in the "Defu" land, the Han army with strict military discipline did not kill people and set fires, nor rob money, food, wives and daughters, which is too benevolent and righteous!
Only pay half of the harvest, get paid for working, and have military doctors treat the sick and rescue the wounded. Isn’t this a royal paradise?
Zhang He struck while the iron was hot, allocated food, swords and guns in accordance with the strategy of "using the Japanese to control the Japanese", and instructed Abbe to recruit young and strong to form a Japanese battalion, and jointly crusade against the dignitaries in Yidu.

Being a soldier and eating food is the only way for most poor people to pursue a better life.

In less than a day, Abela formed a team of more than a hundred people, and Zhang Xi sent a personal guard as an instructor.

Just when Zhang He was about to march towards Yidu, panic and rumors were flying in the core residential area of ​​Yidu country.

The king of Yidu, Yihe, who was gnashing his teeth, sent troops to search for it.

In the past two days, strange "ghosts" broke into the residence at night, frequently ransacked the dignitaries, and assassinated three guards.

Yihe doesn't believe in ghosts, and believes that there are people pretending to be ghosts, and the most likely ones are spies from the slave country.

No matter who it is, he must be caught, otherwise the prestige of the kingship will be wiped out.
