Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, the matter of catching slaves..."

Zhao Xuzheng and Zhou Yi were chatting. Wang Yanzhong was a little anxious while waiting and couldn't help but say cautiously.

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

In the past few years, he and Wang Yanzhong sent many craftsmen and people to Yanzhou.

After joining the navy, Wang Yanzhong went solo and his business was still booming.

Wang Yanzhong has been plotting against Jiangnan recently and smuggled many people from Jiangnan to Jiangbei.

During the Battle of Goryeo, Wang Yanzhong also took advantage of the chaos and captured many Goryeo slaves.

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

King Yan seemed to be formalizing slave trading as a business.

After all, Yahang captures slaves and sells them out for twenty or thirty taels of silver, which is a huge profit.

This one can bring huge profits.

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

He has no objection to the changes in the dental industry.

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

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

In comparison, they were kind to their slaves.

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

By forcefully arresting, deceiving, abducting, and even recruiting workers, they deceived the people of Dasong.

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

"I almost forgot, since I and Wang Yanzhong are here this time, you should understand Zhou Yi, right?" Zhao Xu said.

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

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

White gloves are indispensable, as are gray gloves.

They are needed in the hidden struggles between nations.

"General, I understand." Zhou Yi smiled, pointed at Changqi and said, "But this Changqi was captured by the Marines. If you capture slaves, you have to give the Navy a little sweetness, right?"

When Wang Yanzhong heard this, he pointed at Zhou Yi and cursed with a smile, "How long can you leave Yaxing? Now you have turned your back on me and asked for money from Yaxing."

Zhou Yi's face was full of smiles, "If you had caught it all by yourself, I would naturally take none of it, but now you have missed it. His Highness has said that our navy will take 10% of the spoils this time, and this man is also a spoil."

Wang Yanzhong lost his temper after Zhou Yi's words. He looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Your Highness, I can't make the decision on this."

"One tael of silver per person is a benefit, but you are still responsible for catching it." Zhao Xu said to Zhou Yi.

His words were considered a promise to Zhou Yi.

In this era, the navies of various countries were actually regular armies and at the same time they were bandits, especially those of Britain.

Moreover, in order to encourage the navy to absorb profits from the outer seas and give back to the mainland, they clearly stipulated that the navy can keep part of the spoils for itself.

Because of this, the British army is very motivated.

Who wouldn't be happy to fight a war and return home to a moderately wealthy home?

For his army, his restraint on generals and soldiers was more ideological.

But sometimes it is necessary to give some benefits as an incentive.

As for Yaxing, part of the money from the slave trade was turned over to the treasury as a reward, and part was kept for personal use.

Wang Yanzhong and the backbone of the dental shop have become extremely rich in recent years.

It's a bargain at this moment, so it's normal to pay some money.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhou Yi was overjoyed.

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

On weekdays, it also costs money for them to capture slaves, and some dental workers even pay with their lives.

After deciding the matter, Wang Yanzhong led the people from the tooth shop and went with Pan Chang.

Not long after, the people from Yahang escorted a large number of young and strong Japanese men and women over and put them on Yahang's ship.

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

When Yaxing's boat is full, leave on your own.

He waited for the gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, antiques, etc. that the navy general had snatched to be transported, and then returned to Wufeng Island with Zhou Yi to plan the next attack.

As for this action, he didn't know what impact it would have on Japan.

History has proven that the Japanese have a masochistic constitution. The harder they are beaten, the more honest they become. He hopes that the Battle of Changqi will leave an indelible shadow on the Japanese people.

Two days after they left, the troops led by Watanabe Case and Asana Taro arrived at Changqi Castle.

Entering the city, looking at the corpses on the ground, the burned shops and the mess on the ground, Taro Asana's body couldn't help but tremble.

Obviously, King Yan's army plundered Changqi City.

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

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

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

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

It was always the Japanese who went to Dasong to burn, kill and loot.

The Japanese mainland has never suffered other massacres in thousands of years.

At this moment, he suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that Dasong people also burned, killed and looted, and they were just as vicious.

After walking through the entire Changqi City with Taro Asana, he felt chills rising in his heart.

The entire wealth of Changqi was robbed, including the young men of Changqi City who did not die in the battle.

Now, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, this city has no value at all.

"General, it's Changqi now, where will it be next? The shogunate refused to surrender, and King Yan's army will not give up." Facing the broken Changqi, Taro Asana suddenly found that not only did he not hate King Yan.

But for a moment he was in awe of King Yan.

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

When Watanabe heard this, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

This is the question he fears most. If King Yan plunders cities one after another, what will be left in Japan in the end?
