Because they were teased by those women outside last night, the young men are now full of anger. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as fierce as wolves and tigers.
Seeing this, Teruyuki Omura, who was in the lead, was shocked and excited at the same time.
This is the strong army in his mind!
If only this powerful army was under his command, he would definitely be able to sweep across the entire Japan and replace the emperor!
Unfortunately, this was just his fantasy. He knew very well that this army would not listen to him, at least not now.
Teruyuki Omura immediately found his next goal. Perhaps he could find a way to seize part of the power of this army.
To put it bluntly, it's just the fox taking advantage of the tiger's power.
As long as he can make the Japanese people feel that they can rely on this army, he can benefit from it.
Compared with these benefits, the current small population is nothing. If Da Qi likes it, it will give them all to them!
So he personally led this army to capture the Japanese men in private.
Soon the army brought back thousands of people. Teruyuki Omura was very angry. If he had not led the team personally, he would not have known that there were so many hidden households in his territory, and they did not pay taxes to him!
These peasants are damnable. They actually dared to deceive the great Lord Teruyuki Omura. They deserve to be captured and made slaves.
The army of Da Qi should use these untouchables harshly, whip them and beat them severely!
After returning with his men, Omura Teruyuki ran up to Ma Tong, bowing and saying, "General, we've brought back over 2,000 people this time. I also heard that some untouchables have fled to the mountains. Please give me some time and assign me some more people. I'll definitely capture them all!"
Ma Tong looked at Teruyuki Omura in front of him and thought that the theories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were indeed correct. Once someone chose to rebel, these people would be the most ruthless in dealing with him.
Looking at the densely packed Japanese people in front of him, who looked like a bunch of consumptive ghosts, Ma Tong waved his hand and said, "We don't need them for now. These people are enough for the early stage. Let them take a shower and clean up their personal hygiene first, then have their meal and distribute tools to prepare for work."
"Damn it, they're all like starving ghosts, falling down at the slightest gust of wind. How can you use people like them? I don't know how you can be a lord when the people under your rule are living like ghosts."
Teruyuki Omura didn't expect that he would be scolded, but as a Japanese, he didn't care about it and immediately continued to nod and bow.
Seeing the other party's fawning look, Ma Tong waved his hand impatiently and said, "Collect the information of the nearby lords and send it to me. Then spread the word that a large number of luxury goods from Da Qi will be shipped here soon. Those who want to trade will send people to negotiate the price."
Upon hearing this, Teruyuki Omura was overjoyed. The people of Daqi are so particular!
He said that since he served so attentively, it was impossible that there would be no benefits at all, and now the benefits were obvious.
The people of Da Qi asked him to help with something. What does this mean? It means power!
Especially when it comes to transactions, the rights and profits involved are even greater.
The people of Da Qi certainly wouldn't care about who to arrange to meet the people of Da Qi, what the order should be, and who to say a good word for. However, for the lords of Japan, this was a big deal.
For the sake of order, they may fight to the death, and the person who can decide the ownership of the position is of course him, Teruyuki Omura.
Even if you think about it more deeply, if you do things very well and become the person responsible for these things in the future, will Da Qi reward you one day and give you an official position?
His requirements were not high. Even if he was a ninth-rank official, he was still an official of the Great Qi!
What does this mean? It means that he has successfully entered the official system of Da Qi and is now a member of Da Qi!
With such an identity, the name of the Japanese Daimyo is nothing but shit. Wherever he goes, he is a guest of honor. Even the emperor has to be polite when he sees him!
When he thought of the scene of him chatting and laughing with the emperor, Teruyuki Omura trembled with excitement. He suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase "rising to fame overnight".
Without thinking twice, Teruyuki Omura knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that he would do his best to get things done. If Tianjiang had any needs, he could just tell him and he would try his best to accomplish them.
Teruyuki Omura was not at all concerned about whether Da Qi's goods were popular in Japan.
The Central Plains culture has always been in the lead, and it can even be said that it has crushed Japan.
In the eyes of the Japanese, Central Plains culture is naturally born with an advanced filter.
Things from Da Qi are synonymous with high-end, whether in the eyes of the Japanese people or the Japanese upper class.
Teruyuki Omura was only worried that the goods shipped were not enough, and he was not worried at all that the goods could not be sold.
Ma Tong waved his hand tiredly and said, "Okay, let's get to work."
After saying that, Ma Tong pointed at the group of Japanese civilians standing below and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and rinse it clean!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers in charge of guarding these Japanese people immediately laughed grimly.
The reason is simple. The people in charge of guarding are either Xixia people or Liao and Jin people. They know very well how to bathe people because they have been bathed harshly before.
Soon, heart-wrenching screams were heard from the temporary camp of Da Qi. Every Japanese who had been bathed looked like a sapling that had been ravaged by storms countless times.
After shaving their heads, taking a bath, changing into new clothes and eating, after going through the whole process, there was finally some hope in the eyes of these Japanese people.
Next it was time to assign work, and everything went on in an orderly manner.
Lu Chen had already made arrangements in advance regarding the identities of this group of people.
They will not treat these people as slaves, but will treat them better.
For example, these people will get certain points for working every day, and these points can be exchanged for corresponding items at the Da Qi camp.
Only by attracting a new group of middle-class people locally can we officially take root here.
Once a conflict arises between Da Qi and local daimyo, these people will take the initiative to stand up and safeguard the interests of Da Qi.
At that time, Ma Tong felt that Lu Chen was too merciful, and that this would invisibly increase expenses, which was much more expensive than raising slaves.
But after seeing these Japanese people and how they enjoyed eating even the coarse food, Ma Tong realized that he was too narrow-minded.
After all this fuss, the Japanese civilians are living like animals, so that's fine.
As long as they live better than animals, these people feel happy, and it doesn't actually cost much money.
