There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 476 Slave Hunting Team

Tongzhou, Jinsha Port.

This is a natural huge harbor.

However, this harbor can only be used for ordinary fishing boats, because its area is so large that it occupies one-third of the entire area of ​​Tongzhou, as if Tongzhou was bitten off the coast.

Although the harbor is large, it is a slope where the continental shelf gradually rises, and the seabed is very short from the sea surface, so it is impossible to park large ships with deep drafts here.

In later generations, this huge harbor was also filled up by reclamation work.

The warships of the East China Sea Fleet turned around at the entrance of this big harbor and headed south to the Haimen County Naval Base. Only a few sand boats remained to escort the large number of fleets to dock at Jinsha Harbor.

The East China Sea Fleet is back.

It has been a month since I left for Japan a month ago.

During this month, Deng Shichang trained the soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet in Japan, mainly mastering the use of warships such as Dingyuan and Yangwei, and conducting naval landing operations.Li Chu put down all the command power and handed it over to Deng Shichang for tinkering.

Although Deng Shichang was drawn by lottery, the knowledge of naval warfare in his mind far exceeds that of the Northern Song Dynasty today.

Li Chu didn't let Deng Shichang idle in Japan, and sent him a lot of ships here, just let Deng Shichang catch some Japanese while training.

Jiangnan is now full of waste, and various positions require a lot of labor. It would be good to get some Japanese servants back, anyway, it is just a sideways move.

This time, Li Chu sent 74 lucky boats, and there were [-] lucky boats when they came back. Apart from the original ones, there were still many Japanese pirates and water bandits captured.Fortunately, there were no strong winds and waves near the Japanese Sea during this month, otherwise, the structure of the Fuchuan might not be able to withstand the wind and waves on the sea.

The transshipment envoys, appeasement envoys, and governors from all the prefectures in Huainan have almost arrived in the past two days, not to mention all of them, at least half of them have come, and tomorrow is also the day when the Kirin Army will hold a military exercise Days ago, I haven't seen this military exercise yet, but I saw this one first.

A large number of Japanese slaves were escorted down from the lucky boat, sent to Jinghai City, and then crossed the river from Jinghai City to Suzhou.

On the Jiangnan side, Li Chu also released the news early. A large number of businessmen heard that there were Japanese prisoners here, and immediately felt that Jinsha Port was coming.

He even talked about buying slaves with the Qilin Army directly at Jinsha Port.

The price of Japanese slaves is very cheap, only half of the price of normal slaves, and some ordinary people can buy one.

Moreover, among these Japanese slaves, female slaves are the most numerous.

Secondly, it is novelty.

In the past hundred years, there have been few wars in Japan, and there has been no war between the Song Dynasty and Japan. In addition, Japanese pirates are rampant in Shanghai, so Japanese slaves have rarely been seen along the coast in the past hundred years. With this out, this is the reopening of the Japanese slave market.

In Jinsha Port, Li Jun, the commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Fleet, announced that the East China Sea Fleet will routinely cruise between the Song Dynasty and the Japanese sea every month to provide escort for the ships of the Song Dynasty, especially those who are going to Kyushu, Japan. The route can be followed all the way behind the East China Sea Fleet to get shelter.

But there is a premise, no matter what kind of business you go to Japan to do, anyway, when you return, you must capture the Japanese as slaves every time you return home.

The number of slaves is allocated according to the size of the fleet. Whether you capture, rob or buy, you must bring a large number of Japanese slaves to get the protection of the Qilin Army.

Not only that, but the Qilin Army even set up a Japanese slave hunting team in Jiangnan.

The slave hunting team is named under the Qilin Army, and can also be protected by the Qilin Army.

Merchants with slave-catching team qualifications can enjoy some tax exemptions on commercial tax, customs tax and other taxes when they return from Japan.

Don't underestimate some deduction and exemption. Once the quantity is large and the amount increases, this little tax deduction is a very considerable profit wealth.

Japanese slaves themselves are relatively popular in the Jiangnan area, but the amount is too small. Now that the Qilin Army has made such a move, a large number of businessmen immediately consulted the Qilin Army about the details of the Japanese slave hunting team. Regarding these, Li Jun Let them wait for five days, and Jiang Ning will have more specific details after five days.

The next voyage of the East China Sea Fleet will be in [-] days, so there is plenty of time for everyone to prepare.

Capture slaves in Japan, this is what Li Chu meant.

When I drew the fragments of the USS Missouri battleship, I received Japan's unconditional surrender document, thus receiving a national mission.

The task requires that the number of beheaded Japanese should not be less than 370 million.

This number can be killed directly by the soldiers of the Qilin Army, or it can be killed in a causal relationship with it.

For example, this time the slave team.

Li Chu gave the slave hunting team an official status, which allowed them to catch slaves in Japan openly, and was protected by the Qilin Army. With the support of the Qilin Army and other benefits, the slave hunting team will definitely thrive.

Slave hunting, since this is a capture, how can Japan be willing to watch its own people, their wives and children being captured by the slave team?

In this way, there will inevitably be a lot of resistance.

This resistance will naturally cause huge casualties.

Whether it was the casualties of the slave catchers or the Japanese, no matter what kind of casualties it was, it was only good for Li Chu.

The slave hunting team is not just a simple need for manpower. If you want to catch slaves, you must be equipped with some good weapons and weapons. Secondly, each family will give priority to selecting some people who can fight and kill in the family. Slave catchers.

In addition, some thieves and reckless people in the Jianghu will naturally set their sights on this road of getting rich supported by the government.

Now that the Qilin Army is sweeping across the south of the Yangtze River, they are scared by the power of the Qilin Army and dare not act recklessly. If they want to loot around as before, they will definitely be retaliated by the Qilin Army.But now, the Qilin Army has taken the initiative to open up the slave hunting team and support everyone to go to Japan to catch slaves. Some ordinary people don't have such ability, but for them, isn't this just a door-to-door deal?
Continuing to carry out the familiar business, no longer need to worry about the encirclement and suppression by the government, and even get protection.

It's just a change of place, and after the Japanese slaves are caught, they can be sold for a good price.

This is a good thing!

It is a brand new way of making money and making a living.
