Chapter 1527 Second Battalion Commander
"Actually, if I have to say that there are so many Japanese people, it doesn't matter if I demote half of them to slaves." Speaker Xu Jingzong of the House of Commons has nothing to do with the life and death of the Japanese. In his eyes, the Japanese are actually just like the Hilo people in the eyes of the Spartans, and they are not considered humans.
Dahua is so short of people now. If half of the Japanese were demoted to slaves, they would get millions of Japanese slaves at once. At that time, the officials in the imperial court had mines and salt fields, and even built cities, roads and rivers, and there would be people in the future.
Even if you build a military farm on the border, it would be great to get these Japanese slaves to reclaim wasteland and farmland.
However, Zhang Chao thought this was a bit over.
This time, it was mainly targeted at the nobles and powerful men among the Japanese. These people had land and were born. Dahua conquered Japan and they were victims of interests. After Dahua conquered them, they could actually enjoy better treatment, so they would be Dahua's supporters.
When the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, it also caused the entire Goguryeo country to be demoted to slaves and sold to the Central Plains. Although this practice completely eliminated the consequences of Goguryeo, it still caused many sequelae, one of which was that the Goguryeo area became an unmanned land.
Even though the court kept immigrating there later, there were not many people to move, and the result was that the old land of Goguryeo was very desolate.
From the perspective of rule, the court can be said to be more costly.
If the imperial court also implemented this strategy in Japan, there would be no good results except creating unmanned lands and leaving the Japanese land deserted. Because the rapid expansion of the Central Plains over the years and the continuous expansion of border immigration, there is no population to move out.
"What we want is not a wasteland, but rule."
Zhang Chao always believed that the Japanese could also be transformed into people of the empire, just like the Central Plains have been constantly assimilating the barbarian Rongdi around them for thousands of years. Even in history, many once powerful nations simply disappeared into the long river of history, such as Xianbei, Rouran, Huns, Turks, Khitan, etc.
Earlier tribes such as the Donghu tribes, the Dongyi tribes, etc. were eventually Chineseized.
For most ordinary Japanese people on Fusang Island, they would not have any awareness of the Yamato nation. These people who have always lived at the bottom have been struggling with food and clothing.
The mountains of nobles and powerful people who have been pressing on them were overthrown by Dahua. Dahua treated them more gently. They would only be happy and support Dahua. They would not think about the Japanese Yamato tribe.
After receiving Chinese education, after three generations, it can be said that there were no Japanese people at this time, just like there were no Turks or Goguryeo people.
In fact, if there were enough Han people, Zhang Chao would not mind demoting the entire Japanese people to slaves. Although this was cruel, in this era, there was no international order or international morality, and it was a completely barbaric development era.
The strong prey on the weak.
If you are capable, you will not go up, and if you are not capable, you will be promoted by others. So in order to ensure that you are not allowed to go up, you will definitely go up when you should go up, and there is nothing to be hesitant.
However, in the past twenty years, the population of the Central Plains doubled, and exceeded 100 million. Although the population has soared, the total population of Han people has not actually increased much. Immigration everywhere and expanding the border, and the potential has been exhausted.
It's already hard to immigrate again.
The number of slaves in Dahua now exceeds 30 million, which accounts for 30% of the total population, and has reached a dangerous warning line.

Fuso Islands.
Matsuura Kiyosu has recently been promoted.
He was originally a brigade commander of the 120th Division. Now his brigade has been adapted into a tax police force. With a tax police force of 5,000 people, he became the highest commander and promoted to the tax police commander.
The storm of Fusang has changed recently.
The Japanese Kingdom was destroyed, and Yamato was destroyed. Yamato became the Fusang Road in Dahua and the prince's fief. However, because of the land collection order and the Qing Dynasty's abdication order, the powerful and nobles all rebelled again.
Of course, Matsuura Kyosui also suffered a great loss in this new policy. Most of the land in Daming Matsuura County, which was originally a Matsuura County in the Hibishikoku-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-kuo-ku
On the other hand, he used to lend money, and the people owed him a lot of money, many of which were usury. Now, a debt clearance order was ordered, and most of the debts in the past were one-size-fits-all, and he lost a lot of money.
If it were an ordinary famous master, he would definitely jump out of his feet in anger and shouted back.
But Matsuura Qingxiu didn't do that.
After following the Prince of Dahua for half a year, his horizons have become broader.
Although those fields were inherited from generation to generation, they only had a few gains in a year. Besides, as a Japanese officer under the Prince of Dahua, Matsuura Kyosui also received a lot of the fields rewarded by the prince. These fields belong to his private fields. Although they were far less than he had in the past, this was also the reward of the prince.
Moreover, the prince asked him to invest in a copper mine, and his annual income was expected to be considerable. In addition to Tian, the other property of the Matsuura family was preserved, such as his merchant fleet. Even because he now works under the Prince of Dahua, he still has a way to buy many merchant ships. Even if these ships are not the latest and largest merchant ships, they are all difficult for Japanese people to buy before.
Of course, his loyal attitude was also rewarded.
The Crown Prince specially promoted him to the commander of the tax police and held the command of the 5,000 tax police troops in Fusang. Although he also had the military censor, deputy commander, chief of staff, and brigade commanders of various brigades, he was promoted to commander after all.
"Have you all gathered together?"
Matsuura Sei walked out in her shiny deerskin boots.
Several subordinates came forward immediately.
"Report to the commander, all brigades have been assembled, and I will listen to Commander Hou's order."
Matsuura, who was wearing a long sword, looked at his team with satisfaction, and the tax policemen equipped with coercines and bayonets, and even equipped with war horses.
This firepower can definitely bring down the famous rebels who are ignorant of the current affairs.
"Brothers, there are the local tyrants and evil gentry who are ignorant of the current affairs, and those reactionary masters, who are not only unaware of the kindness and magnanimity of Dahua, but instead incite the people who do not know the truth, gather their slaves and tenants to try to fight against the court by force."
"As natives, we have now become the glorious Fusang tax police. His Royal Highness trusts us so much, and we have the responsibility and obligation to maintain order. Now, we are going to teach those who do not know the current affairs and see some lessons."
"For those rebels, our tax police must implement the three-light policy. All teams that go to eliminate the rebellion must be divided into three parts, grab all, and burn them all.
Part of them is responsible for robbing, part of them is responsible for catching, and part of them is responsible for burning.
Anyone who participates in the rebellion is the enemy of Dahua and will never be spared.
In order to boost morale, Matsuura Kyosai also invited a policy from the crown prince, that is, the spoils they fought against each action could be rewarded and distributed to the tax police.
One percent doesn’t sound like a lot, but if you can grab more, it will naturally not be less.
Matsuura's mobilization made these Japanese people scream and were so excited.
These tax police were all Japanese militiamen before. They worked very hard in conquering the Japanese, so they received a lot of rewards, including land, money and grain. Now they are all small landlords, and these lands do not need to pay deed taxes, property taxes, or pay them to the Dahua court. They are their own private lands.
They had already robbed the sweet spot last time, and now they have the opportunity to openly rob. Even if the robbery of robbery is to be returned to the public, they can only get a small part of it in the end, which is enough for them to get excited.
"Get all, grab all, burn them all!"
"Let's go!" Matsuura Kyosai was very satisfied with this combat power. She turned over and rode on the horse and set off proudly with the team.
The first goal is to protect the name.
After the last time the Emperor died, he surrendered directly, and now he rebelled again, and he led a group of soldiers to guard a manor and refused to hand over the fields.
"I will give you a hundred reward when you catch someone alive." Meishuo stood outside the city and shouted, "The crown prince had already explained that he would try to catch someone alive."
Whenever a living person was caught, the prince Zhang Jing gave Matsuura Qingxiu five hundred coins.
Although Matsuura Qingxiu knew very well that a young and strong slave now had to sell at least hundreds of stakes in the slave market in the Central Plains. Even if the Japanese slaves were not that valuable, a seventy or eighty stake could be worth it. A Japanese girl could sell for fifty or sixty stakes, and even a Japanese boy could sell for forty stakes.
The crown prince only gave him a reward of five hundred coins, which seemed a little small. But if he could catch more, it would never be less. If he caught ten thousand, it would be five thousand guan, which was a large sum of money.
He has 5,000 tax police officers under his command, so it is definitely not difficult to catch tens of thousands of Japanese slaves. He can easily make tens of thousands of chunks of money, and even if he shares the money, he can make a lot of money.
A Japanese tax policeman stepped forward to persuade him to surrender, but was shot by an arrow. Fortunately, he was wearing a piece of armor on his body. The tax policeman fled back in a panic, and Matsuura Kyosu waved his hand angrily.
"Second Battalion Commander, he pushed my little cannon up and opened the door for me!"
The small steel cannons are not strong, far less powerful than the army cannons or naval cannons, but the tax police can have several small steel cannons, which is already the crown prince who pays great attention to.
Although this small steel cannon cannot be compared with the Army's field cannon and the Navy's naval cannon, it can be used to deal with the manor gate of Daming, it is also just right.
A cast iron cannon worth about 100 pounds was pushed up, and a Han artillery officer looked at the gate of the manor in front of him with contempt.
He gave various orders casually, and his Japanese artillery immediately followed the order honestly.
"Okay, now I'll fire it up." The artillery officer was a big black and strong man. He was originally a retired artillery soldier. Now he joined the Japanese tax police force and served as an artillery officer. With a good salary, he was paid by the commander Matsuura like a pretty treasure. His life was very relaxed.
"fire!"
Matsuura Kiyosu waved his knife and pointed at the front and shouted a command.
There was a loud bang, and after the smoke passed, a large hole had appeared in the closed manor gate in front.
Matsuura looked at the result with satisfaction, and the little cannon was indeed well-deserved.
"Come on me, grab all, grab all, burn them all!"
"I want to live. I will get one who is alive and get one reward of one hundred yuan, and kill one and deduct the salary!"
Chapter completed!
