Chapter 866: Labor

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "Don't make trouble, I'll talk about this later." Then, Yuan Fang looked at Yuqing: "What do you think?" ”

Yuqing pondered for a moment: "I think what they said should be the truth, but it's better to be cautious, didn't that Luo Feng say that the commander of the Liusang fleet should know about this, we can ask him for verification first." ”

Yuan Fang scratched his head: "By the way, what is the name of that commander of Liusang?" Where are you locked up now? ”

Yuqing rolled her eyes wildly: "I said you can't serve dim sum?" I really don't know what you're thinking in your head, the commander of the Ryusang fleet is called Jiro Kusamoto, and now he has been sent to the imperial capital. ”

Yuan Fang said depressedly: "I was sent away so quickly, this is troublesome." Well, let's do it, let's tell Yang Xing about this side of the matter, let him interrogate that herb Erlang first, as for Han Ji and Luo Feng, well, let's also send them to the imperial capital together, let them confront Herb Erlang face to face, and we won't participate in the rest, let Yang Xing watch it take care of it. Yuqing nodded, there is no other good way than this, the imperial capital is full of talents, whether they will use this opportunity to do something depends on their ability.

The lieutenant of the Zhou army in Nanzhou has a headache, not because of physical reasons, but because the troops in his hands are not enough, it stands to reason that if he loses the battle, the consumption of troops is too large, or that the enemy is too much, and the troops will be tight, and now it is not enough to win the battle, because there are too many prisoners, most of the troops of the Zhou army have been sent to take prisoners of war, and the troops he can use in his hands are pitiful, I thought that he would hold on to this for a while, and he would be relaxed after the above arranged the places for these Japanese prisoners of war, but the sky is not beautiful, today, he received the news, The navy fought another big victory, the county lieutenant heard that this was a great joy in advance, the navy has become really strong recently, with them to defend the territorial waters, Nanzhou will not be invaded by the Japanese again, and the people will be peaceful, but then he began to have a headache again, because this time there are also a lot of prisoners, I heard that there are more than 20,000 people, after two victories, the number of prisoners is more than the Zhou army, which brings great hidden dangers to security, and that Yuan Fang Yuan is still sending prisoners here, the county lieutenant even has the heart to cry, if it is not good, If so many captives revolt, it would be troublesome.

sighed for a while, and the county lieutenant asked his generals with a sad face: "How many troops do we have to call on now?" ”

The general thought seriously for a while, and said with the same bitter face: "Lord County Lieutenant, there are not many left, now our defense force has been reduced to a minimum, if we transfer manpower again, if anything happens." ”

The county lieutenant said depressedly: "Except for the county town near the coastline, all the rest of the places will be allocated three layers of manpower, you can say how many people there can be." ”

The general did the math and said, "In this case, about three or five thousand people can be transferred." ”

The county lieutenant wanted to cry without tears, three or five thousand people, and the loser held more than 20,000 prisoners of war, this, this, this is not human work at all, and its degree of danger is even higher than that of war.

The general asked cautiously: "Lord Lieutenant, this time it is a prisoner of the Japanese again?" ”

The county lieutenant looked at the order sent by Yuan Fang on the table, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it didn't say it above." The general's words alerted the lieutenant, and immediately sent someone to the naval base to inquire about the news.

About half a day, the person who inquired about the news came back, and brought back a surprising news, the opponent of this naval battle was not the Japanese people, but a country called the Wanliu Empire on Nanda Road, the county lieutenant was slightly relieved when he heard this, and immediately ordered to step up the construction of the prisoner of war camp, and disrupted the original prisoners of war from the new distribution, they will be mixed with the prisoners of the Wanliu Empire to guard, and then send people to sneak in to sow discord, so that the two sides are enemies of each other, so that they have no time to think about anything else when they are looking at each other.

Emerald Island, Yuan Fangzheng crossed Erlang's legs while shaking and drinking tea while thinking about things, he knew Zhou Jun's difficulties very well, but he couldn't kill all the prisoners of war, he pondered how to deal with these guys, Yuan Fang promised Han Ji to treat Wanliu's prisoners of war well, but he would definitely not raise so many people for nothing, he had to find something for them to do, or he would lose money.

Putting down the teacup, Yuan Fang asked Yuqing on the other side: "What do you say should be arranged for these captives of the Wanliu Empire, so that they can mine or not?" ”

Yuqing glanced at Yuan Fang and said: "Brother-in-law, you have enough to worry about, let Your Majesty decide this kind of thing, besides, what will happen to us and the Wanliu Empire has not yet been finalized, in case Your Majesty plans to make friends with the Wanliu Empire, these captives have to be put back, are you thinking about this issue now is a bit too hasty?" ”

Yuan Fang thought about it, but he was still unwilling to say: "Then you can't raise them in vain, there are 20,000 people, and the food is very expensive." ”

Yuqing thought for a while and said, "Aren't you going to build a shipyard, you can let them go over there and do some hard work." ”

Yuan Fang's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." ”

Yu Jingqiu reminded: "But the shipyard is so big, it won't take 20,000 people." ”

Yuan Fang smiled: "It's okay, there is a job, if it doesn't work, let them go to the wasteland, just wait until the beginning of spring to let the people grow food, isn't there a lot of wasteland in Nanzhou, it's enough for them to perform, hehe, this method is good, and those Japanese people are the same, they all fucking go to work for us." ”

Yuqing shook her head and said: "I think the Japanese people should forget it, they have not harmed the people of Nanzhou before, if they go out, they will definitely be killed by the people, and it is easy to make trouble, I think, you had better discuss with Your Majesty, send these Japanese people to the battlefield in Dongzhou, use them as cannon fodder, and we can also kill fewer people." ”

Yuan Fang nodded and said, "Cheng, I will write to Yang Xing, these people deserve it, and it is best if they are all dead." ”

On the fifth day after the letter was sent to the imperial capital, this matter that caused many people to have a headache was finally solved, Yang Xing issued an order to escort the prisoners of war from Liusang to Dongzhou in batches and hand them over to Tang Jian to deal with, and the prisoners of war of the Wanliu Empire let them stay in Nanzhou and help with some physical work according to Yuan Fang's idea, as for how to deal with these people in the end, Yang Xing has not thought about it, but he already has a general idea.

In addition to this incident, Yang Xing's reply to Yuan Fang also mentioned Cai Ning and Herb Erlang, as Han Ji said, Cai Ning is really the prince of the Wanliu Empire, and Herb Erlang finally admitted the fact that he colluded with the Wanliu Empire and was ready to eat the Dongsheng Empire and then carve up the Ning Empire after being tortured by professionals.
