Chapter 779: In Person
The sun went from the willow branches to the middle of the sky, and then gradually sank to the west.
The Marines who poured into Nagasaki City were scattered everywhere, and the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions could be heard from time to time.
It continued all night and gradually stopped at noon the next day.
At this time, the generals and soldiers were in high spirits, carrying large and small boxes out of the city.
Some soldiers had bulging pockets filled with gold and silver jewelry.
After registering the captured spoils, the general in charge of rewards and punishments immediately distributed one-tenth to the soldiers, and put the rest into the box next to them.
Once the box was full, a soldier would carry the box to the dock.
Zhou Yi was also there, looking at the boxes of spoils, smiling from ear to ear.
"This Changqi City is really rich." Zhou Yi said, touching his chin, "If we empty all the warships and troop transport ships to load these things, it will probably take seven or eight trips."
Pan Chang said: "Seven or eight trips, there are still a lot of food and cloth in Changqi City. The spoils we seized this time are worth at least 60 million taels."
Zhou Yi was more happy when he heard this.
Yes, this Changqi City is one of the richest southern cities in Japan.
It is not surprising that such a huge amount of wealth was looted after the entire city was plundered.
After all, there are many wealthy Japanese merchants living in Changqi City.
These wealthy Japanese merchants have been conducting maritime trade with Western countries for many years, and they also have trade relations with the Liang family. Some of them have a family worth millions, and even tens of millions.
This family with a wealth of tens of millions is not someone else, but the lord of this Feiqianban, the Masheng family.
When looting Changqi, the Marines will naturally not let this big head go.
"By the way, how much silver was found?" Zhou Yi said, thinking of something.
When the Prince of Yan and Liu Fu were chatting, they talked about establishing a silver-based Songyuan.
But this silver standard requires a lot of cash. The more silver, the more Songyuan will be issued.
He had heard it at the time, but he didn't take it seriously. Now he suddenly remembered and was concerned about the issue of cash.
If the cash is sent back to Yancheng, the Prince of Yan will definitely be happy.
Pan Chang thought for a while and said, "There are still 8 million taels of cash. In addition, there are a lot of silver wares, silver jewelry, and more than 300,000 taels of gold have been found."
Zhou Yi nodded, very satisfied with this number.
As the two were talking, suddenly a soldier came hurriedly, "General, the prince is coming."
"What prince..." Zhou Yi didn't react at first, and then he was shocked, "The prince is coming?"
The soldier looked excited and nodded vigorously, "Just now, a fleet came over, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is in the fleet."
Zhou Yi and Pan Chang looked at each other and immediately ran to the dock.
On the sea not far from Changqi Wharf.
Zhao Xu stood on a sailing warship, looking at Changqi City in the distance.
Seeing that the Beidi and the powerful tribes' army could not make any waves for the time being, he decided to go to Japan.
If he did not participate in the war to conquer Japan, wouldn't it leave a regret in his life?
He had always hoped that the Japanese would kneel in front of him and hand in the letter of surrender.
In addition, Wang Yanzhong came to him at this time, which made him more determined to come to Japan.
Wang Yanzhong reflected to him that there was a great need for slaves in the imperial manor of Dasong.
Not only the royal family of the imperial manor bought slaves from him, but also the merchants in the folk bought slaves from him for workshop production and farming.
This was a big deal.
During the war with Goryeo, he wanted to take the opportunity to capture Goryeo people and sell them to Dasong.
But the war in Goryeo ended too quickly, and Goryeo became a vassal state of Dasong, and kept sending corvée to Dasong, so he stopped.
He didn't want to miss the fight against Japan this time. He wanted to follow the army and take the opportunity to capture some Japanese slaves.
So, he came to ask Zhao Xu for consent.
In recent years, Goryeo and Japan have frequently captured people from Dasong as slaves.
There are no less than hundreds of thousands of Goryeo people missing.
Especially the Japanese pirates, the number of Dasong people captured is uncountable.
He has already taken revenge on Goryeo, and the 300,000 young men sent by Goryeo to Dasong are just that.
These young men don't take a penny of silver, but do the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous work.
As for Japan, it's time to atone for its crimes this time.
So, he simply agreed to Wang Yanzhong and went to Ryukyu with his fleet.
When they arrived in Ryukyu, they learned that Zhou Yi went to Wufeng Island, so they chased him again and finally caught up here.
The slave-hunting fleet gradually approached, and Zhao Xu looked at Wang Yanzhong and the ferocious crew members on the ship.
However, when they met Zhao Xu's eyes, these crew members showed a gentle smile.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu smiled softly.
In an era, one must adapt to the customs of that era.
This is a barbaric era, an era where genocide is commonplace, and an era where the strong bully the weak to death.
Therefore, he was not stupid enough to let the saintly hearts of some contemporary groups pollute himself.
He knew very well that saintly bitches would only kill their own people.
The world jungle is very cruel and full of evil dragons.
White lotus cannot save the world, and he can only defeat the evil dragon by turning into an evil dragon.
The fleet docked at the dock and Zhao Xu got off the boat.
Zhou Yi and Pan Chang were already waiting. Seeing Zhao Xu in military uniform, they saluted.
Returning the salute, Zhao Xu looked at the wooden boxes piled up like a mountain at the dock and smiled, "It seems that you have gained a lot."
Zhou Yi chuckled twice and told Zhao Xu the number that Pan Chang told him.
Zhao Xu smiled with satisfaction when he heard it.
In modern times, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces looted the Old Summer Palace, they took away 3.6 million cultural relics, whose value is inestimable.
Among them, the gold and silver alone were worth 6 million pounds at that time.
At that time, one pound was worth three taels of silver, which was almost equal to 20 million taels of silver.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Japan robbed countless mines, cultural relics, silver and gold.
It was these robbed wealth that enriched the West, allowing Japan to recover quickly after the war and let them live a comfortable life today.
This is their bloody history of capital accumulation.
However, the people of our country have lived a hard life for hundreds of years on the barren land that they have repeatedly robbed.
Now, just when life has become a little more comfortable, the president of a certain country has threatened that the people of our country cannot live a rich life like Westerners.
Zhao Xu just wanted to spit at them. Robbers can drink red wine and eat beef, but hard-working farmers are not worthy of white rice and shredded pork?
Every time he thought of this, Zhao Xu hated it.
So, here, he would never let the Westerners have an easy life.
Isn't Japan following the Westerners so closely that it wants to be covered in their skin?
This time he will severely punish Japan and make it fall into ruin.
As long as he is there, Dasong will become the most developed country in the world, with the most generous welfare in the world. After a few decades, every person will have a villa and a luxury car.
And this is also the prosperous era he hopes for.
