Chapter 852: The Garrison Of The Ming Dynasty Who Sang Red And White Faces, And The Japanese Slaves
Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes who were on their way back to the capital suddenly received an urgent military intelligence report from the Ming army stationed on Kyushu Island, saying that there were remaining accomplices of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who were taking advantage of the withdrawal of the Ming army. A large-scale sneak attack was carried out on Kyushu Island.
Since the Japanese and the Ming army were having a celebration banquet at that time, everyone was almost defenseless.
Caught off guard, the Ming army suffered "heavy casualties".
After paying a "huge price", the Ming garrison soldiers finally repelled Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's remaining accomplices.
But the fifty thousand Japanese who had contributed to the Ming Dynasty were not so lucky. The whole army was wiped out, and no one survived!
In response to this, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes were all furious [the Japanese from the five cities were "good brothers" and "loved relatives and friends" who had fought with Ming Shiqi!!
Ming Dynasty will never allow them to die in vain and must avenge them!
The princes immediately ordered the Ming troops stationed on Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, Honshu Island, and Kaido Island to conduct a comprehensive search for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's remaining accomplices. Once found, they would kill them on the spot in retribution for the 50,000 Japanese who had contributed to the Ming Dynasty. The spirit in heaven!
The Ming troops stationed on Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, Honshu Island, and Kaido Island received orders from the princes.
Immediately began a massive search for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's remaining "accomplices", and in the end many of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's remaining "accomplices" were found.
A small part of them are the remaining accomplices of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and some are Japanese mining Japanese Nokan who want to revolt.
The other part is that when the Ming army attacked the Japanese country before, they hid in some Shankaka corner and luckily escaped the Japanese.
Now that they see most of the Ming army beginning to withdraw from Japan, they want to start trouble again.
But unfortunately, these Japanese people still overestimated themselves.
Even now most of the Ming army has begun to withdraw from Japan.
But the part of the Ming army that was left to guard the Japanese country and mine the Jinshan silver mine was not something that these Japanese people could afford.
Then, the Ming 17th Army executed all the captured Japanese, and hung their heads among the Japanese slaves mining, telling them that if they dared to rebel and cause trouble again, this would be their fate!
This move indeed greatly frightened the Japanese slaves. At least if they mined well, at least the Ming Dynasty would let them eat as much potatoes and sweet potatoes as they wanted.
But once the Ming army discovers that they have any small intentions, they will be executed as a collective conspiracy.
And for those Japanese people who originally lived at the bottom of the Japanese country, mining for the Ming army was actually not really bad.
Although mining for the Ming army was tiring and their movements were restricted, the Ming army would really keep them well fed.
After all, if you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to mine.
But in the past, when they, the Japanese people living at the bottom, worked for the Japanese daimyo, they might not be able to have enough to eat.
The emperor, local daimyo, powerful officials, and Japanese samurai were all exploited layer by layer.
In a sense, the quality of life of these Japanese living at the bottom is worse than being a mining slave for the Ming Dynasty.
At least now, in order to make these Japanese slaves die slower, Ming Dynasty no longer makes them dig mines day and night as before.
Instead, they began to implement a very "humane" system of three shifts and a system of giving them one day off after mining for six consecutive days.
After all, in a sense, the current Japanese slaves are also a consumable and precious resource, so Ming Dynasty can only save a little and waste them.
However, these humanistic systems were not given to them suddenly and all at once by the Ming army.
After all, the bad thing about human nature is that they often don’t cherish what you actively give them.
But if what you originally wanted to give them was obtained through their own efforts, then they will cherish it even more.
Ever since, after using thunderous means to execute those Japanese slaves who wanted to cause trouble, a "kind" civil servant of the Ming Dynasty could no longer stand the way the Japanese slaves mined money day and night.
Then one morning, the Japanese slaves started mining.
In front of a group of Japanese slaves, this Ming civil servant loudly made suggestions to another Ming general who was responsible for guarding these Japanese slaves to improve the treatment of these Japanese slaves.
These Japanese slaves are also living people, and they can't live any better than animals!
The general who heard these words was immediately furious. He suspected that the Ming Dynasty civil servant was an accomplice of the Japanese slaves, and immediately ordered him to be taken to the heights of the city gate tower so that the Japanese slaves could see him when they raised their heads, and then hanged him up and beat him!
Ever since, a few days after that.
When those Japanese slaves were digging, as long as they raised their heads, they could see the figure hanging from the flagpole of the city gate tower from a distance.
Immediately, infinite gratitude surged in my heart towards the figure who dared to speak in order to fight for their interests.
The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, who were infinitely grateful and revered by the Japanese slaves, were eating and drinking with the generals of the Ming Dynasty in the city lord's palace. They were very comfortable.
As for the "civilian" who was hung up, he was just a dummy wearing the same clothes.
After all, from such a distance, it was impossible for the Japanese slaves to really see whether the hanging figure was a real person or a fake.
This is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty civil servant was pulled to a distant and high city gate tower and hung up with a flagpole.
After all, it was just a show to gain the worthless hearts and minds of the Japanese slaves. There was no need to do it for real.
After hanging for seven days and seven nights, I felt that if I continued to hang, it would be overdone.
The General of the Ming Dynasty took the Ming Dynasty civil servant who had put on makeup and looked pale, with blood stains all over his body, and who looked "dying", back to the front of the ten Yiren slaves.
Then the General of the Ming Dynasty looked at the Ming civil servant with disgust in front of a group of Japanese slaves, and said sternly:
"As a general of the Ming Dynasty, I have no right to put you to death if you are innocent."
"Since you want to speak for these Japanese slaves, I will give you a chance."
"As long as these Japanese slaves can double the amount of gold and silver mines dug out in the next month, it is guaranteed that they will be able to double the amount of gold and silver mines in the future."
"Then I will do as you wish, divide these Japanese slaves into three parts, and let them work in three shifts. After that, each person will need to mine for an average of four hours a day!"
"If these Japanese slaves can't do it, then you can invite yourself back to Ming Dynasty!"
After saying that, General Daming left without looking back.
The civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, who was thrown to the ground and looked scarred and dying, turned his head with great difficulty and tried his best to show an ugly smile to the Japanese slaves opposite.
His mouth was about to move, as if he wanted to say something, but at the same time it seemed as if nothing could be said, and then he fainted.
Afterwards, the Ming civil servants who fainted were taken away by other Ming troops and sent for "treatment".
The Japanese slaves present were thinking about what the Ming general had just said, asking them to "work in three shifts" and only need to mine for four hours a day.
Then I thought of the Ming Dynasty civil servant who spoke uprightly for them and was now dying.
After that, a group of Japanese slaves looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't say anything, but they seemed to have said everything.
In the next month, the Ming army could clearly see that the mining efficiency of those Japanese slaves had increased significantly.
If the Ming army forced them to dig before, then now they are actively digging on their own initiative.
At the end of the month, the mining output of the Japanese slaves had more than doubled.
The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, who had almost recovered after a month of "recuperation", took the statistics of the mining output of the Japanese slaves and sternly demanded that the Ming Dynasty general fulfill his promise, otherwise he would be impeached by the Ming Emperor.
Seeing this, the Ming general could only announce with a grimace and pinched his nose that the Japanese slaves would be divided into three shifts, and each person would only need to mine for four hours a day.
However, the premise is that the Japanese slave needs to maintain the current mining output every month in the future. Otherwise, if he fails to meet the standard in any month, he will immediately return to his original mining mode day and night.
In response to this, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty responded with disdain: "Don't worry, you won't have such a day even after you die."
In the end, the Ming general could only turn around and leave with anger.
And after the Ming generals left, only the Ming civil servant who spoke for them was left.
Immediately, all the Japanese slaves present cheered, as if they had won a battle, defeated the Ming general, and defeated the Ming Dynasty.
In response, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty gently told them not to be proud and to continue working hard to mine.
The Ming general was the person with the highest official rank here, and he couldn't directly resist the other party's orders, "so he couldn't directly fight for some benefits for the Japanese slaves.
But if they perform well and mine a lot, then he can also make some suggestions to the Ming general to improve their work and living conditions, and ask for some benefits for them.
For example, now, in view of the large number of Japanese slaves mining this month, he personally decided to give all the Japanese slaves an extra new piece of clothing, and add a meal of meat to today's meal!
As soon as these words came out, many Japanese slaves cheered.
At this point, in the hearts of many Japanese slaves, the civil servant of the Ming Dynasty was regarded as the savior of these Japanese slaves.
Nearly all the Japanese slaves looked at the civil servant of the Ming Dynasty with respect and affection [even some Yiren slaves were willing to fight for the civil servant of the Ming Dynasty if he was still alive].
Similarly, the more the Japanese slaves respected and loved the Ming Dynasty civil servant, the more they hated the Ming Dynasty general.
After all, there is no harm without comparison. In contrast to the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, the general of the Ming Dynasty who does not seem like a good person is very suitable to be hated in the bottom of my heart.
Then the Ming general seemed to see the hidden hatred of the Japanese slaves towards him, so he also proposed a new system.
Divide all the Japanese slaves into a group of one hundred people. The Japanese slave who mines the most every month can manage the one hundred Japanese slaves on behalf of Ming Dynasty and become the group leader of the one hundred Japanese slaves.
After becoming a group leader, you will get meat to eat every day of the month.
As well as the right to mine for eight hours continuously on a certain day, and then take a full day off the next day, or any other day in the month.
If the mining team managed by the team leader ranks among the best in output among the many Japanese slaves mining, Ming Dynasty will reward the team leader with drinks, Japanese girls and other benefits.
After this system was proposed, the Ming generals quickly promoted a group of small "privileged" classes among the lower-level Japanese slaves.
Then these small "privileged" class among the Japanese slaves became fanatical supporters of the Ming Dynasty generals.
Seeing this, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty once again proposed to strive for the welfare benefits of six days off and one day off for the Japanese slaves.
Of course, in exchange for six breaks and one blessing
The premise of favorable treatment is that the current mining output of Japanese slaves can be doubled again.
In order to obtain the welfare benefits of being able to work six days off and one day off, a group of Japanese slaves also went out to mine again.
In the case of the Ming Dynasty civil servants and the Ming Dynasty generals, one was a good person and the other was a bad person.
The Japanese slaves who were originally passive and slow in work, or even secretly wanted to stir up trouble behind their backs, no longer had time to stir up trouble.
I just want to either strive for the benefits of working 6 days a day off, or work hard to become the leader of the mining team.
After this set of attacks, the original millions of Japanese slaves were split into small groups that competed with each other and even became hostile to each other.
When a group of Japanese slaves are risking their lives for the sake of being a Liukyuichi, or for becoming the leader of the mining team.
In the eyes of the Japanese slaves, the Ming general and the Ming civil servants seemed to be incompatible. The two were sitting together at the moment, drinking fine wine, eating delicious food, and looking at each other with smiles.
This month, the mining output of Jinshan Silver Mine increased again by 30%.
Suddenly, the two of them were in a better mood.
This is political achievement!
With this outstanding political performance, he will be transferred back to Ming Dynasty one day and will be promoted step by step!
Then the two of them continued to secretly discuss how to give the Japanese slaves a big stick and then a handful of dates to stimulate them to use the Jinshan Silver Mine.
Mining output will increase further.
