Capitalist of the Late Ming Dynasty

Tang Tong transmigrated, possessing the body of an unlucky Qianhu. From then on, he changed the image of that bloodsucking Qianhu, leading a group of dirt-poor subordinates onto the path of wealth. Ta...

However, one thing is that these lands do not belong to individuals and are not allowed to be bought or sold. Everyone only has the right to use them but not private ownership. Tang Tong did this in order to prevent large-scale land mergers in the future. Despite this, the increasingly affluent life attracted more people from the Ming Dynasty to immigrate there, and many Ming Dynasty merchants also took root there.

Tokugawa Munebayashi wanted to find a chance to escape on the road, but he saw Ming people everywhere, and these Ming people didn't leave anything behind wherever they passed. If he really left the team, he might starve to death on the road. After thinking about it, Tokugawa Munebayashi could only continue to follow Li Li and the others temporarily. They drove an empty car when they went to the village, so they could move much faster. After walking for a few more days, Tokugawa Munebayashi found that his team seemed to be near the battlefield. Not long after, under the leadership of Li Li, everyone left the main road where people came and went, walked onto the small road and began to search for the village.

Tokugawa Munebayashi saw that everyone was a bow and swordsman with murderous looks, and he knew that they had no intention of doing it well. However, for the sake of their own lives, this was not the time to be a hero. After walking for more than ten miles, they actually found a village. Dozens of people suddenly became excited. After leaving the carriage at the entrance of the village, they rushed in with their weapons. However, they were soon disappointed. There was no one here and the things in the houses had been searched clean.

Li Li and his men had no choice but to continue walking forward. After walking about seven or eight miles, they saw another village and vaguely saw human figures moving around. One of them couldn't help but shout happily, "Ha, there are still people in this place. They must have been undiscovered. Damn it, our team is small, so we can only hide in this mountain valley to look for things."

The crowd became excited again and rushed towards the village. Before they reached the entrance, the village was already in chaos. It was obviously a village that no one had ever been to. There were about 200 people, including men, women, young and old. But there were fewer goods. The people here were poor and there was not much to make. After they rushed into the village, they encountered resistance. A dozen Japanese people in green clothes rushed towards Li Li and others with hoes and other things. Tokugawa Munebayashi was wondering since there were so many people here, should he take this opportunity to stay and be with these villagers.

Before Tokugawa Munebayashi could figure it out, a dozen Japanese soldiers were shot to the ground by arrows after the sound of bowstrings. The leader, Li Li, was holding a musket, but he did not shoot. Instead, he walked over and shouted in his awkward Japanese: "Baga, if you don't listen, you will die like them. If you listen, you will have rice and meat. We are merchants from the Ming Dynasty, here to help you out of poverty."

Tokugawa Munebayashi was standing not far behind Li Li. He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly when he heard what Li Li said. There were about 200 people in the village, and only dozens of them were young and strong. More than a dozen of them fell down in an instant. It was obvious that the children were unable to resist and were trembling with fear. Li Li saw that those young and strong people with weapons still refused to put down the weapons in their hands, so he fired a shot at the person standing in front without hesitation.

Li Li was holding an obsolete Western muzzle-loading matchlock rifle, and he blew the man's head off with one shot. The other Japanese were frightened and several of them dropped their weapons to the ground. These Japanese in the mountains had never seen a thing like a musket in their lives. Not to mention its lethality, the sound alone was scary enough. The Japanese looked at Li Li as if he were a killing god.

Speaking of

The reason why Li Li's team was too small was that other large teams had the same problem. The Japanese living in those places in Southeast Asia had long regarded themselves as people of the Ming Dynasty. After those merchant caravans hired these Japanese, they acted as go-betweens. Sometimes there was no need to use force like Li Li and his team did. Many Japanese were persuaded by their compatriots not to resist.

After Li Li opened fire, the Japanese in the village were terrified and eventually surrendered. Tokugawa Munebayashi watched another group of Japanese being captured, feeling a wave of sadness and bewilderment. Li Li separated the men and women, and one man looked at the young Japanese women. He smiled and whispered to Li Li, "Brother Li, we're lucky this time. The women in this village are all good-looking. Have you seen that, Brother Li? That little woman is incredibly pretty. She'll fetch a lot of money just this time."

Li Li and Tokugawa Munebayashi, who was standing not far from him, both looked in the direction the man pointed. Their eyes lit up. Tokugawa Munebayashi felt deeply sorry for the little woman. Li Li also showed a happy expression at this time and patted the man on the shoulder: "It's really good, but tell everyone that no one is allowed to touch that little woman. Find a midwife to see if she is a virgin. If she is, we will be rich. Back in Daming City, such goods are very expensive."

The young woman that Li Li and Tokugawa Munebayashi saw was about fourteen years old. Many girls of this age were already married, which was what Li Li was worried about. The price of a virgin was very different from that of a non-virgin, especially for a beauty like this, the price difference was even greater. If people in later generations saw this, they would find that this Japanese woman, who should be called a girl, looked very much like the female star Fujiwara in later generations. She was already charming and seductive at a young age. Based on Li Li's experience of traveling all over the country, this kind of woman was a natural foxy woman, the kind that most men liked, so naturally she would not be cheap.

Li Li carefully locked the Japanese girl and her family in two carriages. The Japanese girl's family consisted of a father and a daughter, two younger brothers, and a younger sister. Although the younger sister was only a few years old, she was expected to be a beauty in the future. This was also a large sum of money, so Li Li sent someone to keep an eye on the family.

Li Li was very happy to receive such stuff. After leading the team to the safe area on the highway, he generously gave each of his men a woman to have fun. Maybe it was because the scenery of this village was beautiful, and the women in this village were all good-looking. Tokugawa Munebayashi was also given one. After setting up camp, except for some people guarding the prisoners, everyone else hugged a woman and started to have sex. Tokugawa Munebayashi naturally did not dare to be different. He hugged the woman assigned to him and got into a carriage to have sex.

The days that followed were spent in this kind of life of looting and rest. After more than ten days, Tokugawa Munebayashi found that he actually liked this kind of life. Li Li was not very strict in controlling his subordinates, and was also very generous. Therefore, even Tokugawa Munebayashi, who had joined the team naked at the beginning, gradually became rich. He had four women alone, which were his personal property given by Li Li. There were also some supplies. As for the money, it would not be settled until the end of this looting activity. Tokugawa Munebayashi once asked someone privately, and he estimated that he would have an income of four hundred taels of silver at that time.

Such a large sum of money was not something he could get even when he was a naval commander of the Kagoshima clan. In addition, Tokugawa Munebayashi also said that those who participated in the Japanese auxiliary army would also receive land. Tokugawa Munebayashi calculated that if he treated these four women as his own family members, then he would first have 200 acres of basic land to obtain. If he made meritorious service and became a small leader, he would get more land and a monthly military salary of two taels. This was just the salary of an ordinary auxiliary soldier. Such income seemed to be higher than when he was a naval commander.

Tokugawa Sorin: With this in mind, he became more and more shaken, and the idea of wanting to carry forward the Tokugawa family also faded. He was more or less a smart man, and he knew that it was impossible to carry forward the Tokugawa family in Japan. Looking at the current situation, it would not be long before Japan would perish, and there would be no need to talk about the Tokugawa family.

A month later, the battle of Kyukoku Island came to an end. Several foreign kingdoms on Kyukoku Island were destroyed. Except for Shimazu Tadatsune who surrendered early, the men in the families of other foreign lords were sent to the guillotine, and the women were auctioned in Kokura Castle. On that day, Li Li and his small team also ended their looting activities. Li Li took his men to Kokura Castle to see it for themselves. Tokugawa Munebayashi followed Li Li to watch the public auction.

The hundreds of women on the stage were relatives of the foreign lords. Because of their status and good looks, the auction was very lively. There were quite a lot of bidders, and most of them were officers in the Japanese Auxiliary Army. These people were originally Japanese who could not survive. After joining the Japanese Auxiliary Army, they made a fortune because of their merits. Although they are very rich now, as a Japanese pariah, they are still very interested in those Japanese noble women, or they really yearn to have a noble woman.

With such an opportunity, the officers of the Japanese auxiliary army naturally rushed to bid. Every time a successful bidder came up to the stage and carried the woman of the foreign lord who bought the hand off the stage, his smug laughter made Tokugawa Munebayashi understand even more clearly that Japan was really finished, and all the Japanese nobles were really finished. In the future, even if those people from the Ming Dynasty did not intervene, Japan would still be the world of these Japanese pariahs.

Li Liqian originally planned to take the stunning Japanese girl to Southeast Asia to sell her, but when he took his men to Kokura Castle to see the world, he met a noble man, who made Li Liqian seize this opportunity and become a super businessman.
